    Gather to the Tower.
    Let's play some more!

[00:06] ---
    Gather to the Tower.
    Let's play some more!

[00:09] ---
    Let's play!
[00:11] ---
    Let's play!
[00:12] ---
    Let's play!
[00:14] ---
    Let's play!
[00:16] ---
    Let's play...
[00:27] ---
    Devola.
[00:30] ---
    Popola.
[00:33] ---
    Were we... able to atone?
[00:45] ---
    Popola.
[02:48] ---
    Did 9S do this?
[02:50] ---
    Report. Detected a faint
    android life signal up ahead.

[02:55] ---
    Can it be...
[03:00] ---
    You guys are...
[03:03] ---
    Were we...
[03:06] ---
    useful at all?
[03:10] ---
    Alert. Confirmed infection
    on android Devola.

[03:14] ---
    Infection depth has reached Level Four.
[03:17] ---
    Impossible to remove virus
    with the processing system on this unit.

[03:22] ---
    Were we...
[03:25] ---
    useful at all?
[03:28] ---
    You were.
[03:30] ---
    I see...
[03:32] ---
    How wonderful, huh Popola?
[03:36] ---
    We were use—
[03:45] ---
    Report. The structure known
    as the Tower has opened its gate.

[04:07] ---
    Proposal.
[04:09] ---
    Rest, combined with data check
    and maintenance of unit 9S's chassis needed.

[04:15] ---
    Alert. If operation continues as is,
    chassis maintenance—

[04:21] ---
    Shut up.
[04:22] ---
    It's useless to do that at this point.
[04:25] ---
    Negative. This support unit
    is YoRHa unit 9S's tactical support unit.

[04:31] ---
    The right to be apprehensive
    of the condition of target YoRHa unit—

[04:33] ---
    Hello!
[04:35] ---
    This is Tower System Services!
[04:38] ---
    Thank you very much
    for visiting the Tower!

[04:43] ---
    The Final One Award to the patron
    who unlocked the entrance...

[04:44] ---
    I'll kill you.
[04:48] ---
    has been prepared in the room up ahead.
[04:52] ---
    Please take your time and enjoy.
[05:02] ---
    2B.
[05:15] ---
    Alert. Multiple hostile androids approaching.
[05:23] ---
    2B... models?
[05:46] ---
    I'm glad I got to see you here.
[05:49] ---
    I truly am.
[06:00] ---
    I'll tear you apart...
    Every last one of you!
[06:06] ---
    Alert. Combat against
    2B models for 9S—

[06:08] ---
    Order to Pod 153!
[06:10] ---
    I prohibit any assistance
    while I'm attacking the 2B models!
[06:14] ---
    Affirmative.
[06:21] ---
    2B.
[06:27] ---
    2B...
[06:29] ---
    doesn't move like that!
[06:35] ---
    Those are not her expressions.
[06:46] ---
    2B...
[06:48] ---
    is nothing like you lot.
[06:52] ---
    She's not a doll!
[06:54] ---
    2B. 2B. 2B. 2B!
[07:00] ---
    Just wait.
[07:02] ---
    I'll kill you right now!
[07:18] ---
    There's still one left?
[07:21] ---
    Nines...
[07:24] ---
    With that same face...
[07:27] ---
    Don't you dare say that word!
[07:36] ---
    Proposal. Rest, combined with data check
    and maintenance of unit A2's chassis needed.

[07:42] ---
    No need.
[07:44] ---
    Providing tactical support
    for YoRHa unit A2

[07:47] ---
    was the final order
    from previous support target 2B—

[07:50] ---
    Such complaining and whining...
[07:55] ---
    Guess I made you worry.
[07:59] ---
    What's the purpose of this structure?
[08:01] ---
    Unknown.
[08:03] ---
    Proposal. Gather additional data.
[08:05] ---
    Figures.
SIGN    LIBRARY
[08:26] ---
    What is this room?
[08:28] ---
    Hypothesis. It is a simulation of a library.
[08:32] ---
    Library? What's that?
[08:35] ---
    A data-storage facility
    created by humanity in the past.

[08:39] ---
    Records confirm that unique machine lifeform Adam
    had possessed a similar facility.

[08:48] ---
    Report. Data here is protected
    with a fortified barrier.

[08:54] ---
    In other words, I need to hack in
    to take a look at the data.
[09:04] ---
    Pod, can you help out?
[09:07] ---
    Affirmative.
[09:08] ---
    Granting access rights
    for hacking interface to YoRHa unit A2.

[09:16] ---
    Access rights granted.
[09:19] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[09:21] ---
    Confirmed words of gratitude from A2.
[09:25] ---
    You don't have to say it!
[09:31] ---
    All right.
[09:34] ---
    Hacking in.
[09:51] ---
    That's...
[10:00] ---
    Records of the human server.
[10:03] ---
    Machine Lifeforms had infiltrated that far?
[10:08] ---
    This tower is a cannon
    aiming at humanity on the moon.
[10:16] ---
    Humanity... is extinct?
[10:25] ---
    Project YoRHa...
[10:29] ---
    Camouflaging the survival of humanity...
[10:32] ---
    YoRHa experimental squadron...
[10:35] ---
    Operation of the 2E model...
[10:39] ---
    Plans to destroy the Bunker...
[10:47] ---
    I'd figured that it was something like this.
[10:52] ---
    Does 9S know about this?
[11:21] ---
    2B.
[11:36] ---
    I'm sorry, 2B.
[11:40] ---
    Pod, forcefully attach the exterior
    and muscles of 2B's arm to mine.
[11:45] ---
    Alert. Specified 2B chassis is one that
    was captured by enemy machine lifeforms.

[11:51] ---
    That's an order! Do it!
[11:53] ---
    Affirmative.
[11:57] ---
    So amusing.
[11:59] ---
    So amusing.
[12:00] ---
    Shall we finally tell him the secrets
    of this world this time?

[12:05] ---
    What would happen then?
[12:08] ---
    I'm sure it will be even more fun.
[12:11] ---
    This is so exciting.
[12:18] ---
    Attachment completed.
[12:22] ---
    I'm gonna fight.
[12:26] ---
    I have to fight.
[12:29] ---
    Alert. Virus confirmed in locomotive region
    due to transplant from a corrupted unit.

[12:36] ---
    Ninety-five percent of functionality restored.
[12:38] ---
    Proposal. Hack into self
    and eliminate virus.

[12:40] ---
    I'm going to fight.
[12:43] ---
    I have to fight.
[12:45] ---
    Request. Remove virus immediately.
[12:49] ---
    Removal will likely become
    more difficult if left alone.

[12:56] ---
    YoRHa unit 9S.
[12:58] ---
    Welcome to the Tower!
[13:01] ---
    What the hell are those things?
[13:07] ---
    We are conceptual personas born
    from the machine lifeform network.

[13:13] ---
    It is impossible to destroy us.
[13:16] ---
    We have always observed androids.
[13:20] ---
    And we have gained much information
    and knowledge from them.

[13:26] ---
    It doesn't matter who the hell
    you guys are anymore.
[13:30] ---
    I'll destroy you all.
    Both of you, and this tower.
[13:36] ---
    Since you have come all the way here,
[13:39] ---
    we have some encouraging
    secret information.

[13:43] ---
    The name of the secret...
[13:46] ---
    is Project YoRHa.
[13:49] ---
    Project YoRHa?
[13:58] ---
    It's been a while, Number Two.
[14:01] ---
    Damn you!
[14:02] ---
    Or should we call you A2 now?
[14:06] ---
    This brings back memories.
[14:08] ---
    Though to concepts like us,
    time has no meaning.

[14:15] ---
    Still, wiping out your squadron
    left quite a lasting impression.

[14:23] ---
    Born for the sake
    of the officially deployed YoRHa units...

[14:27] ---
    An experimental squadron
    of sacrificial pawns.

[14:30] ---
    Shut up!
[14:33] ---
    Number Two.
[14:35] ---
    Your attack is meaningless.
[14:38] ---
    Your existence is worthless.
[14:50] ---
    The human server on the moon is a decoy.
[14:54] ---
    Humanity is extinct.
[14:57] ---
    YoRHa Soldiers were created on the premise
    that it will be disposed of.
[15:02] ---
    The release of the Bunker's backdoor
    was also planned.
[15:08] ---
    So this is Project YoRHa.
[15:11] ---
    Then all of us... 2B...
[15:16] ---
    Now you know everything.
    Do you still wish to fight?

[15:43] ---
    Androids left behind by humans
    behave as if they want to become human.

[15:51] ---
    Machine lifeforms left behind by aliens
    behave as if they want to become human.

[15:59] ---
    Humans piqued our interest.
    But we got too close.

[16:05] ---
    We have gained diversity.
[16:11] ---
    Report. This unit has already utilized
    the enemy logic education function,

[16:16] ---
    and planted altered information genes
    to the network lifeforms—

[16:18] ---
    I have no idea what you're saying!
[16:20] ---
    Summary. Enemy has been infected.
    Endure until the time comes.

[16:28] ---
    Things like that...
[16:30] ---
    I do well!
[16:33] ---
    We are one, and yet we are many.
[16:38] ---
    We are finite,
    and yet we are infinite.

[16:46] ---
    Androids resemble us so.
[16:50] ---
    But we are networked.
    Thus we are overwhelmingly superior.

[16:58] ---
    We are the embodiment
    of a perfect psyche.

[17:04] ---
    We will move on.
    Forward, to the future.

[17:11] ---
    We need evolutionary pressure.
[17:15] ---
    If we do not kill these androids,
    further hardships will befall onto us.

[17:24] ---
    By overcoming that obstacle,
    we will undergo even further evolution.

[17:32] ---
    Thus, we must destroy
    the human server on the moon

[17:36] ---
    and corner the androids even further.
[17:40] ---
    Disagreed.
    These androids are dangerous.

[17:45] ---
    We must destroy them.
[17:49] ---
    Then, we should use this tower
    to leave this planet.

[17:54] ---
    Win the survival of the fittest and evolve.
[17:58] ---
    A new possibility in a new land.
[18:02] ---
    Disagreed.
[18:04] ---
    Disagreed.
[18:06] ---
    Those who would doubt
    our victory are enemies.

[18:12] ---
    Do you truly think you can win?
[18:30] ---
    That's...
[18:31] ---
    9S!
[18:41] ---
    A2.
[18:52] ---
    Report. Infection condition of enemy network
    lifeform has reached target value.

[19:30] ---
    Ahh... I see it... The light...
[19:38] ---
    This tower is a giant cannon that's aimed
    at the human server on the moon.
[19:43] ---
    If we don't do something, the remaining data
    for humanity will be destroyed.
[19:49] ---
    I don't care.
[19:50] ---
    None of that really matters anymore.
[19:55] ---
    Humanity that only exist as data.
[19:59] ---
    You know, don't you?
[20:01] ---
    We're not needed in this world.
[20:04] ---
    The decoy server on the moon, created
    so that androids have a meaning to fight...
[20:10] ---
    YoRHa Soldiers created
    to perpetuate that lie...
[20:14] ---
    We were designed from the beginning
[20:16] ---
    to be annihilated to make sure
    all evidence was destroyed.
[20:20] ---
    The backdoor built in the Bunker was programmed
    to activate after a set amount of time.
[20:24] ---
    The Commander. The Operator.
    Me. 2B, too.
[20:31] ---
    We were all sacrificial lambs.
[20:34] ---
    Isn't that hilarious?
    Doesn't it make you laugh?
[20:39] ---
    9S, we—
[20:41] ---
    Shut up!
[20:42] ---
    You killed 2B, you see.
[20:45] ---
    That's enough reason
    for us to kill each other.
[20:52] ---
    2B was in agony.
[20:55] ---
    She hated killing you over and over.
[21:00] ---
    It was predicted that Type 9S, a highly
    functional model, would arrive at the truth.
[21:07] ---
    Her model name "2B" was just a cover.
[21:12] ---
    Her official designation is 2E.
    Number 2, Type E.
[21:19] ---
    A member of the special squad
    designed to execute YoRHa units.
[21:24] ---
    But you knew that. Right, 9S?
[21:28] ---
    Shut up.
[21:30] ---
    Shut up!
[21:32] ---
    2B went through agony
    to kill me over and over.
[21:38] ---
    What do you know about us?
    You don't know anything at all!
[21:44] ---
    Proposal. Cease combat.
    To fight against her here—

[21:48] ---
    Order to Pod 153!
[21:49] ---
    Halt your arbitrary
    logical thought and speech!
[21:52] ---
    This order shall remain in effect until
    you confirm the death of either A2 or myself!
