*In the 243rd Descent Operation
that started in the year 11945 A.D.,*
**[00:19] ---**
*various mutations have been confirmed
for androids and machine lifeforms.*
**[00:27] ---**
*Commencing organization
and consultation of record data*
**[00:31] ---**
*gathered and accumulated
on the Pod System servers for presentation.*
**[00:45] ---**
Finally...
**[00:47] ---**
Finally, it might come to an end.
**[00:50] ---**
2B.
**[00:52] ---**
And you too, Number 2.
**[01:04] ---**
We've confirmed that the network core units
known as Adam and Eve have been destroyed.
**[01:10] ---**
The enemy's chain of command
has been thrown into complete chaos.
**[01:15] ---**
Humanity has chosen
to seize this opportunity
**[01:17] ---**
and launch an all-out attack
against the machine lifeforms.
**[01:22] ---**
*With the success of this mission...*
**[01:24] ---**
Here and now, we will put an end
to this goddamn war!
**[01:28] ---**
Begin the large-scale descent operation!
**[03:03] ---**
*This is 4S to 9S.*
**[03:05] ---**
*Hacking and seizing of enemy anti-air system
in my area was successful.*
**[03:10] ---**
Roger that.
**[03:11] ---**
Please continue to be on high alert.
**[03:13] ---**
*Gotcha!*
**[03:16] ---**
*The enemy are units
severed from the network.*
**[03:20] ---**
*They're no longer governed by anything.
What's with their movements?*
**[03:25] ---**
*This is 11S to 9S.*
**[03:27] ---**
*I'm done working on the area
assigned to me. And—*
**[03:30] ---**
Okay, I get it, I get it!
**[03:32] ---**
*If you get it, please sync your data
when you return to the Bunker.*
**[03:36] ---**
Oh, that? I had forgotten.
**[03:39] ---**
*You haven't turned your combat data in,
so we can't update any of the Scanner models.*
**[03:44] ---**
Roger that. I'll deal with it when
we're done with this operation.
**[03:47] ---**
*Please do.*
**[03:51] ---**
I'd forgotten that
I stopped the data sync.
**[03:54] ---**
Anyway, why do all the other units
work in pairs, but I'm...
**[03:59] ---**
*This is 21O to 9S.*
**[04:01] ---**
*It seems your management assignment
for all Type S models is going well.*
**[04:05] ---**
*Way to go. Keep at it.*
**[04:09] ---**
I'm being treated like a child.
**[04:11] ---**
Please distance yourself
from the operation area during combat.
**[04:15] ---**
*Then I won't be able to assist.*
**[04:18] ---**
Scanner models like you
are not designed for battle.
**[04:21] ---**
*Oh? You're worried about me?*
**[04:24] ---**
*No, you'll simply be
a liability on the battlefield.*
**[04:28] ---**
Too harsh.
**[04:30] ---**
In this operation, I will also...
**[04:33] ---**
No, never mind.
**[04:36] ---**
Over and out.
**[04:42] ---**
*In the large-scale operation aiming
for annihilation of machine lifeforms,*
**[04:47] ---**
*YoRHa Soldiers and the Resistance
fought together and launched an all-out attack.*
**[04:53] ---**
Ready, aim...
**[04:57] ---**
Fire!
**[05:00] ---**
They really lent us
such powerful weapons?
**[05:03] ---**
Commander White of YoRHa
is really generous!
**[05:07] ---**
Rental of state-of-the-art YoRHa weapons.
**[05:10] ---**
And the gathering of enemy
Goliath-class machine lifeforms.
**[05:14] ---**
Just as the YoRHa intel stated.
**[05:17] ---**
I know you're feeling iffy about this,
but let's say it's all good for now?
**[05:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:22] ---**
Ms. Lily!
**[05:23] ---**
There are still enemy survivors.
**[05:24] ---**
What?
**[05:27] ---**
After all that,
we still couldn't defeat them all?
**[05:32] ---**
This is 9S, manager of the Type S's.
**[05:35] ---**
To all YoRHa units
deployed in the City Ruins.
**[05:37] ---**
The group of Goliath-class machine lifeforms
invading from outskirts of City Ruins
**[05:41] ---**
have been seized through hacking.
**[05:44] ---**
You're late, 9S.
**[05:46] ---**
Conducting the simultaneous saturation
hacking by Type S's took longer than expected.
**[05:50] ---**
Using the hacked
Goliath-class machine lifeform,
**[05:53] ---**
we'll clear out enemies in the outskirts.
**[05:55] ---**
Once combat around here calms down,
I will regroup with 2B as well.
**[06:00] ---**
In any case, I didn't expect
the operation you set up to go this well, 9S.
**[06:04] ---**
But something is strange.
**[06:06] ---**
Strange?
**[06:07] ---**
They're all units severed from the network.
**[06:11] ---**
But they're all gathering at the same point,
as if they made prior arrangements to do so.
**[06:15] ---**
*Confirming reboot of enemy
Goliath-class machine lifeforms.*
**[06:19] ---**
Reboot!? I thought we seized control!
**[06:23] ---**
*This is 9S!
Prepare for another saturation hacking.*
**[06:27] ---**
*What's wrong? What's your status?*
**[06:29] ---**
It will be mine and only mine...
**[06:32] ---**
Nobody else... will have it...
**[06:36] ---**
This is reverse hacking.
**[06:41] ---**
*However, machine lifeforms used
Type S models as mediators*
**[06:46] ---**
*and performed a "reverse hacking,"
in addition to a virus infection.*
**[06:52] ---**
*A grave virus infection spread rampantly
among the YoRHa members.*
**[06:59] ---**
11S.
**[07:01] ---**
He's infected?
**[07:02] ---**
*Report. YoRHa unit 11S's infection depth
has penetrated to Level Four.*
**[07:07] ---**
*Impossible to remove the virus.*
**[07:09] ---**
Level Four?
**[07:11] ---**
I was hit with the wide-area virus, too.
**[07:13] ---**
But it was at a level
where it could be dealt with.
**[07:15] ---**
So how...
**[07:16] ---**
*11S's input port
was opened unconditionally.*
**[07:20] ---**
Opened unconditionally?
**[07:22] ---**
That lets anything invade him!
**[07:24] ---**
*Port number 1423.
Port used only for data synchronization.*
**[07:30] ---**
Data synchronization?
**[07:32] ---**
*If you get it, please sync your data
when you return to the Bunker.*
**[07:37] ---**
*Could they have planted a backdoor
into the data synchronization port,*
**[07:42] ---**
*and the EMP was the trigger to open it up,
and that's when the virus...*
**[07:47] ---**
2B!
**[07:51] ---**
Are you all right, 3B?
**[07:53] ---**
A virus infection!
**[07:59] ---**
My body...
**[08:04] ---**
2B!
**[08:05] ---**
I'm glad I made it in time!
**[08:09] ---**
I will treat you right away!
**[08:13] ---**
The way you stopped her...
Isn't there another way?
**[08:16] ---**
Actually...
**[08:17] ---**
the contamination level is high
for every YoRHa Soldier other than us.
**[08:21] ---**
What does that mean?
**[08:25] ---**
What the...
**[08:27] ---**
Impossible.
**[08:35] ---**
NFC Mode 2!
**[08:37] ---**
*Affirmative. Unlocking NFC Mode 2.*
**[08:51] ---**
Communicate with Command!
Report current situation and request backup!
**[08:56] ---**
*Connection lost.
Unable to reach Command.*
**[08:59] ---**
Damn it, they're still jamming it?
**[09:01] ---**
*Negative. Signal reception is clear.*
**[09:05] ---**
*Connection lost due to server-side
authentication failure.*
**[09:09] ---**
What do you mean?
**[09:10] ---**
*No responses currently coming
from Command on any channel.*
**[09:14] ---**
*Multiple signals
of hostile machine lifeforms,*
**[09:17] ---**
*and YoRHa soldiers.*
**[09:22] ---**
2B!
**[09:23] ---**
*Proposal. Immediate retreat.*
**[09:27] ---**
9S!
**[09:28] ---**
The Bunker has an emergency backdoor
in its system!
**[09:30] ---**
I can use it to upload
all our personal log data for us!
**[09:40] ---**
*2B and 9S escaped infection
and annihilated the enemies*
**[09:44] ---**
*using a black box reaction,
forcing their recall to the Bunker.*
**[09:50] ---**
*Androids who live for mankind...*
**[09:54] ---**
*Androids who fight for mankind...*
**[09:58] ---**
*Androids who die for mankind...*
**[10:02] ---**
*For mankind...*
**[10:05] ---**
*For mankind...*
**[10:11] ---**
*Now... Entertain me, YoRHa Soldiers.*
**[10:18] ---**
*However, the machine lifeforms
had also corrupted the Bunker,*
**[10:23] ---**
*which served as the base
for the YoRHa Soldiers.*
**[10:30] ---**
2B. And 9S, too.
**[10:36] ---**
What are you two...
**[10:38] ---**
Commander.
**[10:39] ---**
Are you all right?
And where did all of the Operators go?
**[10:43] ---**
*Soon, the long battle against the machine lifeforms
will be brought to a conclusion.*
**[10:48] ---**
*We humanity here on the moon
are filled with voices of elation.*
**[10:53] ---**
This information...
**[10:54] ---**
That's a camouflage!
**[10:56] ---**
There's a possibility that
the entire Bunker is contaminated.
**[10:59] ---**
*Bingo!*
**[11:01] ---**
*I'm surprised you've caught on!*
**[11:03] ---**
Operator 6O?
**[11:04] ---**
*We are machine lifeforms.*
**[11:07] ---**
*We speak to you
through the network and the virus.*
**[11:11] ---**
Impossible.
**[11:12] ---**
*You've been entertaining us
for quite a long time now.*
**[11:16] ---**
*But it's all over for this base now.*
**[11:18] ---**
*The virus we planted
has blossomed so much!*
**[11:22] ---**
*I bet you didn't know all of this
had been planned. Did you, Commander?*
**[11:36] ---**
Commander!
**[11:40] ---**
Why haven't you two been infected?
**[11:44] ---**
The other day, when I tried
to synchronize data for myself and 2B,
**[11:47] ---**
I saw some noise in the Bunker's server data,
and it made me worry.
**[11:52] ---**
So you had put off data synchronization.
**[11:54] ---**
Yes.
**[11:56] ---**
2B had an infection
through physical contact on the surface,
**[11:59] ---**
but her infection depth was shallow
so I was able to treat her with the vaccine.
**[12:02] ---**
Commander, hurry!
**[12:06] ---**
I cannot go with you.
**[12:11] ---**
You two
are the last remaining YoRHa Soldiers.
**[12:15] ---**
You have a duty to survive!
**[12:17] ---**
2B! The base will no longer...
**[12:19] ---**
Commander!
**[12:20] ---**
Go, 2B!
**[12:29] ---**
*2B and 9S escaped from the Bunker, and
recommenced their descent to the surface.*
**[12:36] ---**
2B!
**[12:39] ---**
Boost!
**[12:44] ---**
Are you okay, 2B!?
**[12:47] ---**
9S.
**[12:48] ---**
Why?
**[12:56] ---**
*Alert. Possibility of a large explosion
due to a black box reaction.*
**[13:05] ---**
2B!
**[13:07] ---**
9S!
**[13:11] ---**
*However, attacked
by corrupted YoRHa units,*
**[13:15] ---**
*both units were forced
an emergency landing on the surface.*
**[13:23] ---**
*Alert. Virus infection detected.*
**[13:28] ---**
*Alert. In 9S's current state, attempting combat
puts a great toll on his body.*
**[13:38] ---**
I'm going to where 2B is!
**[13:42] ---**
Get out of my way!
**[13:59] ---**
*Alert. Virus contamination rate
up to 16%.*
**[14:03] ---**
*Malfunction detected in NFCS circuit.*
**[14:06] ---**
I can't go searching for 9S anymore.
**[14:12] ---**
I have to prevent the contamination
from spreading.
**[14:15] ---**
Let's go to a location
with few android signals.
**[14:23] ---**
*Alert. Virus contamination rate 90%.*
**[14:27] ---**
*Alert. Unusual heat generation
in central nervous system.*
**[14:32] ---**
*Possibility of internal combustion.*
**[14:34] ---**
*Alert. Deterioration of black box.*
**[14:38] ---**
My... dear...
**[14:40] ---**
*Alert. Damage to data backup system.*
**[14:44] ---**
*Said damage will make it difficult
to retain self-consciousness upon backup.*
**[15:05] ---**
A2...
**[15:12] ---**
I guess... this is it.
**[15:21] ---**
These are my memories.
**[15:27] ---**
Take care of everyone...
**[15:31] ---**
and the future for me, A2.
**[15:40] ---**
2B, you...
**[15:43] ---**
2B! 2B!
**[15:47] ---**
2B! Are you...
**[16:01] ---**
Nines...
**[16:12] ---**
2B.
**[16:14] ---**
This can't be!
**[16:33] ---**
A2!
**[16:36] ---**
Kill... I'll kill you! Kill you!
**[16:41] ---**
I will kill you with my own hands!
**[16:44] ---**
A2!
**[17:07] ---**
*With the death of YoRHa unit 2B, Pod 042
has transferred surveillance target to A2.*
**[17:15] ---**
*Located a damaged memory sector
during reactivation of unconscious unit A2.*
**[17:22] ---**
*Now viewing repaired data.*
**[17:27] ---**
*We've been waiting for you
to come here.*
**[17:30] ---**
*We've been watching over you.*
**[17:33] ---**
What is...
**[17:34] ---**
...this voice?
**[17:37] ---**
Damn you!
**[17:38] ---**
Calm down, Number 2!
**[17:40] ---**
- We just need to destroy this place.
- Yeah.
**[17:43] ---**
*It's meaningless to conquer this server.*
**[17:46] ---**
*The Command's objectives lie elsewhere.*
**[17:49] ---**
*Humanity's objectives lie elsewhere.*
**[18:00] ---**
*This is something very important,
so make sure to listen.*
**[18:04] ---**
*This is a truth we obtained
by hacking into your servers.*
**[18:08] ---**
*A harsher, crueler battlefield
will nurture a warrior.*
**[18:13] ---**
*That's what Command thought.*
**[18:15] ---**
*They had planned unplanned battles
and harsh situations in advance.*
**[18:20] ---**
*For their new experimental weapon,
the YoRHa Soldiers.*
**[18:23] ---**
What?
**[18:24] ---**
*And the results were just like
what Command had planned!*
**[18:27] ---**
*Even on the brink of annihilation,
you survived and arrived at this location!*
**[18:32] ---**
*Using this experimental data, they can create
even more perfect automatic infantry dolls.*
**[18:38] ---**
*This is humanity's objective.*
**[18:42] ---**
*Then that means,
Command had planned for us to...*
**[18:47] ---**
*From the beginning?*
**[18:50] ---**
*Violence, intelligence, courage, humility.*
**[18:54] ---**
*The Council of Humanity has designed you
to be highly individualistic.*
**[18:59] ---**
*That is why you can augment each other.*
**[19:02] ---**
*That is why you can kill each other.*
**[19:06] ---**
*Isn't this laughable?*
**[19:08] ---**
*It makes us laugh.*
**[19:26] ---**
Rose.
**[19:28] ---**
Why...
**[19:30] ---**
Amaryllis.
**[19:34] ---**
Lycoris.
**[19:35] ---**
Cataleya.
**[19:37] ---**
Freesia.
**[19:42] ---**
Now, we're family.
**[19:46] ---**
Forever.
**[19:52] ---**
Number 2.
**[19:53] ---**
You need to live.
**[19:55] ---**
*Because there is life and death,*
**[19:58] ---**
*you're all are able to exist, yes?*
**[20:11] ---**
*I won't forget.*
**[20:14] ---**
*The agony of being unable
to save my allies.*
**[20:18] ---**
*The pain of losing my family.*
**[20:22] ---**
I will never forget.
**[20:31] ---**
*Repairs complete, excluding memory sectors
that were self-destroyed.*
**[20:36] ---**
*Activation of unit A2 confirmed.*
**[20:40] ---**
*Good morning, A2.*
**[20:44] ---**
Machine... lifeforms...
**[20:46] ---**
*- Proposal. Get plenty of rest.
- Y-You have woken up?*
**[20:50] ---**
*It's better not to move yet.*
**[20:54] ---**
*My name is Pascal.*
**[20:57] ---**
*I am the leader of this vill—*
**[21:01] ---**
*Report. YoRHa unit A2 was rescued
by the machine lifeforms in this area.*
**[21:08] ---**
I was...
**[21:10] ---**
rescued by machine lifeforms?
**[21:14] ---**
What's up with these things?
**[21:16] ---**
My objective is to beat
the hell out of machine lifeforms.
**[21:21] ---**
I have a hatred of machine lifeforms.
**[21:23] ---**
I will destroy every last one of you.
That is my objective!
**[21:28] ---**
*But you didn't kill.*
**[21:31] ---**
*You were recorded
as a dangerous android.*
**[21:34] ---**
*But when I speak with you like this,
I get a very different impression of you.*
**[21:38] ---**
*Big Sis! Big Sis!*
**[21:40] ---**
*That must be why the children
all warmed up to you.*
**[21:44] ---**
Your speech pattern has gotten quite rough.
**[21:48] ---**
Who are you?
**[21:50] ---**
Oh, have you forgotten?
**[21:54] ---**
Lily?
**[21:57] ---**
Yes, Ms. Number 2.
**[22:00] ---**
*9S, your current condition
is far from perfect.*
**[22:04] ---**
*Proposal. Return to Resistance Camp.*
**[22:21] ---**
I don't recognize your face.
**[22:24] ---**
That visor... YoRHa, huh?
**[22:29] ---**
This is a grave.
**[22:31] ---**
Grave?
**[22:33] ---**
Do you want to mourn someone?
**[22:34] ---**
Huh?
**[22:36] ---**
That face...
You lost someone important to you, yes?
**[22:41] ---**
If...
**[22:43] ---**
If we have things
that we can call souls,
**[22:46] ---**
a feeling of mourning
would not be meaningless.
**[22:50] ---**
*Possibility of observing
unexpected events in the future.*
**[22:55] ---**
*Proposing continued observation
and investigation.*
**[23:00] ---**
*9S, your current condition
is far from perfect.*
**[23:03] ---**
*Proposal. Return to Resistance—*
**[23:05] ---**
Shut up!
**[23:07] ---**
Please shut up....
**[23:10] ---**
What good would that do now?
**[23:13] ---**
I mean... 2B is already...
**[23:16] ---**
I'll kill them...
**[23:18] ---**
I'll kill them all...
**[23:21] ---**
Machine lifeforms, and A2...
**[23:26] ---**
I will kill them all.
**[23:34] ---**
*Operator!*
**[23:35] ---**
*Stay away!*
