[00:08] guy
    They sure aren't making this easy...
[00:11] break
    They've got lots of crafty old veterans, too.
[00:14] break
    Securing these borderlands is no picnic.
[00:17] lily
    And I bet there's still more left to take...
[00:21] huey
    You even need to ask?
[00:23] huey
    Look at them down there.
[00:24] huey
    We're in for more of this, and soon.
[00:28] huey
    See?
[00:29] gail
    Buerger Squad.
[00:31] gail
    We'll make preparations and move out at once.
[00:34] gail
    We have our next mission.

[02:28] break
    It's time.
[02:29] guy
    Oh? I can finally swap out, huh?
[02:33] huey
    Damn, it's gotten cold.
[02:37] guy
    Want a drink?
[02:38] guy
    It'll warm you up.
[02:41] huey
    Please, it's freezing...
[02:45] huey
    Hey, is this from your stash?
[02:47] break
    Hey, is that alcohol?
[02:48] break
    If the commander finds out,
     you'll be in for it.
[02:51] huey
    Oh, chill out.
[02:56] gail
    We're on a mission. Hand it over.
[03:01] huey
    Damn it.
[03:02] huey
    I've known old bastards like him.
[03:05] huey
    Eyes like a hawk, searching around
    for any fault they can find.
[03:09] guy
    But my last commander was all
    about maintaining his pride.
[03:13] guy
    He really kept us at a distance.
[03:15] guy
    I didn't expect it, but this
    type of team has its charms.
[03:19] huey
    Yeah, maybe so.
[03:34] break
    We've been ordered to stand by for a while.
[03:36] break
    They said there's a chance our
    moving target might change.
[03:39] lily
    How long is "a while"?
[03:42] break
    It depends on how the planning meeting goes,
[03:45] break
    but I bet they won't reach a decision today.
[03:47] huey
    What the hell?
[03:48] huey
    So we gotta camp out in this cold?
[03:50] break
    Don't worry.
[03:51] break
    We have orders to do maintenance
    on our theurgears while we wait.
[03:56] guy
    By ourselves?!
[03:57] break
    There's a team of mechanics doing
    the rounds who will offer support.
[04:00] break
    Our scheduled time frame is 2300 hours.
[04:03] guy
    I get it.
[04:04] guy
    In other words, no time to sleep.
[04:06] break
    Precisely.
[04:08] gail
    Take some free time until 2100.
[04:11] gail
    Sleep or drink, whatever you like.
[04:14] gail
    Just make sure you've sobered
    up when the time comes.
[04:19] lily
    This one's cute!
[04:21] lily
    What do you think?
[04:25] stel
    I... I like it.
[04:27] anja
    Huh? You do?
[04:30] anja
    You've got weird taste, lady.
[04:32] lily
    That's rude!
[04:34] lily
    People have always said,
    "Lily, your taste is unique!" in a good way!
[04:37] anja
    I don't think they meant
    that in a good way...
[04:41] lily
    H-Hey!
[04:42] lily
    I'm gonna tell your parents on you!
[04:47] anja
    You can't.
[04:51] gail
    An orphanage?
[04:53] stel
    I don't know if you could
    call it that, exactly...
[04:56] stel
    There's an elderly couple that's
    letting war orphans live with them.
[05:00] lily
    Um... I was wondering if we
    could bring them a pick-me-up.
[05:06] lily
    I kind of said something bad...
[05:09] gail
    Bad?
[05:10] lily
    I said I was gonna tell the kid's parents...
[05:15] stel
    Is it all right if we go?
[05:18] stel
    It's a bit far away, but...
[05:20] gail
    I don't mind.
[05:23] gail
    Just see that you're back in time.
[05:25] stel
    Thank you, sir.
[05:28] gail
    Wait.
[05:31] gail
    I'll come, too.
[05:34] lily
    We know it's not much,
[05:36] lily
    but we hoped it might help you out...
[05:40] stel
    It might be hard to accept from people
[05:42] stel
    who were your enemies until recently...
[05:46] woman
    We accept it gratefully.
[05:48] woman
    We truly appreciate your kindness.
[05:50] gail
    Do you look after them all by yourselves?
[05:52] woman
    We didn't intend to, at first.
[05:56] woman
    But they just started coming,
    and we couldn't abandon them...
[06:00] man
    Though, in a way,
    they've ended up looking after us.
[06:07] gail
    But you know things can't
    stay this way forever.
[06:11] anja
    This one's good, right?
[06:13] lily
    Anja, did you guys draw all of these?
[06:15] anja
    Yeah, me and the others!
[06:19] woman
    They draw them for fun when it rains.
[06:28] stel
    This picture...
[06:30] wife
    He drew it.
[06:32] wife
    I've encouraged him to draw other things,
[06:34] wife
    but he always draws the war.
[06:37] wife
    I suppose the world he's most
    familiar with these days...
[06:40] lily
    Hello, there. It's nice to meet you.
[06:44] wife
    What's the matter, now?
[06:45] wife
    Say hello.
[06:47] gail
    We were the attackers until recently.
[06:51] gail
    It's understandable.
[07:00] gail
    Now, look closer.
[07:03] gail
    You see the trick?
[07:06] lily
    You can tell he does this a lot!
[07:08] stel
    Yeah.
[07:09] anja
    Hey, hey!
[07:11] anja
    Let's draw! All together!
[07:14] lily
    Sorry. We can't stay too long.
[07:19] gail
    You can stay a bit longer.
[07:21] lily
    Commander?
[07:22] gail
    I'll go back ahead.
[07:24] gail
    Make sure to get some sleep.
[07:26] gail
    Maintenance will have us up all night.
[07:29] stel
    Yes, sir.
[07:32] lily
    All done!
[07:34] lily
    Who do you think it is?
[07:35] anja
    What are those?
[07:36] anja
    Scary!
[07:37] anja
    Are those people?
[07:38] anja
    No, they're monsters!
[07:41] stel
    What did you draw?
[07:43] lily
    It was supposed to be
     the old couple who live here...
[07:47] stel
    I won't tell them if you won't.
[07:49] lily
    Kids just don't understand
    my aesthetic sensibilities!
[07:57] ema
    Welcome, weary traveler!
[07:59] ema
    Have a treat!
[08:02] stel
    Thank you.
[08:03] ema
    Welcome to Emma's House!
[08:06] stel
    Your name is Emma?
[08:07] ema
    Yeah!
[08:09] stel
    Is this... your house?
[08:11] ema
    Yeah!
[08:13] stel
    I see.
[08:17] stel
    So this is...
[08:19] stel
    your place.
[08:29] lily
    Those kids were cute.
[08:31] stel
    Yes...
[08:33] lil
    I hope they can make that
    their home forever...
[08:40] lil
    What's wrong?
[08:42] (Flashback) fb
    If...
[08:44] (Flashback) fb
    If you feel like there's nowhere in
    the world where you belong, don't worry.
[08:50] (Flashback) fb
    You'll find your place someday.
[08:54] (Flashback) fb
    Did you find a place?
[08:56] (Flashback) fb
    Yes.
[08:59] stel
    I said something like that
     to a child I met before.
[09:05] stel
    I was just trying to comfort her,
[09:08] stel
    but the truth is that, like her,
[09:11] stel
    I've been searching for
    my place for a long time.
[09:15] stel
    There was no place for me with
    the family that raised me.
[10:00] (Flashback) woman
    Hey, you!
[10:01] (Flashback) woman
    You can't stay there.
[10:06] (Flashback) woman
    Do you have a problem with that?
[10:11] (Flashback) woman
    Just get going.
[10:28] stel
    I ended up in the army just to stay alive.
[10:32] stel
    So it's not really my place, either...
[10:36] lily
    Well, I wouldn't say the army
     is my place, either...
[10:42] lily
    But I feel like in this squad,
    with everyone... this is my place.
[10:48] stel
    Everyone?
[10:49] lily
    Remember Commander Gail before?
[10:51] lily
    "Make sure to get some sleep."
[10:53] lily
    "Maintenance will have us up all night."
[10:56] lily
    He sounded like a fussy old dad.
[11:00] lily
    Don't you think?
[11:02] stel
    Yes.
[11:03] lily
    Warrant Officer Break and
    Guy have their nice sides.
[11:07] lily
    Huey's a jerk, but I think every
    family has their black sheep!
[11:13] lily
    Plus I've always wanted a cool big sister!
[11:20] lily
    So I would really like it if you'd
    think of this squad as your place!
[11:28] lily
    You can't blow me off with
    that expression again!
[11:32] lily
    I'm being serious with you!
[11:38] stel
    I just...
[11:39] stel
    I'm not sure how to answer you...
[11:48] gail
    Don't stop working; just listen.
[11:50] gail
    We have our next marching orders.
[11:53] gail
    We'll meet up with an assault carrier
    120 kilometers to the south,
[11:57] gail
    just outside the State of Leo Tacrath.
[11:59] gail
    We'll assault a Royal Army facility,
    to either secure it or destroy it.
[12:03] huey
    Another tough one...
[12:06] gail
    We'll set out at 0630 hours.
[12:08] gail
    Finish your maintenance
    within the next two hours.
[12:12] (Flashback) fb
    I would really like it if you'd
    think of this squad as your place!
[12:17] (Flashback) fb
    Welcome to Emma's House!
[12:19] (Flashback) fb
    At times like these, you can't
    do much but smile. Right?
[12:23] (Flashback) fb
    Were you one of those children, too?
[12:25] (Flashback) fb
    Just keep smiling.
[12:27] (Flashback) fb
    Smiling will get you through anything.
[12:33] break
    Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!
[12:36] break
    Now stop!
[12:38] break
    A little more to the right— Hey, stop!
[12:42] huey
    Are you kidding me?
[12:48] break
    The mechanics are already gone, right?
[12:52] gail
    I'm sure we can work it out.
[12:54] gail
    The rest of you can go on ahead.
[12:57] gail
    It'll take about two hours,
    but I'll catch up right away.
[13:00] gail
    Of course, you'll be helping me, Stella.
[13:06] gail
    It's rare to see you make
    a mistake like this.
[13:09] stel
    I'm sorry.
[13:11] gail
    Well, there's nothing wrong
    with showing a little humanity.
[13:16] stel
    Humanity?
[13:18] gail
    In a way, the battlefield is
[13:20] gail
    where a person most clearly
     shows their true nature.
[13:24] gail
    On the front lines, the toughest man you know
[13:26] gail
    might end up a shrieking, terrified wreck.
[13:30] gail
    They can try to keep their calm like you,
[13:32] gail
    but they can't even put up a front.
[13:36] stel
    I'm not... trying to put up a front.
[13:40] gail
    That's what I thought, too, at first.
[13:44] gail
    I thought you'd left your emotions behind.
[13:50] gail
    But these days...
[13:55] gail
    Do you feel you've changed?
[13:59] gail
    I'm not sure if this way
    is more "you" or not,
[14:03] gail
    but I think it's a pretty good thing.
[14:17] stel
    Do you think the children we met
[14:19] stel
    will be able to stay like that forever?
[14:22] gail
    It's a tough question.
[14:24] gail
    It seems impossible for that old
    couple to take care of them alone.
[14:27] gail
    There are many places exactly like that.
[14:30] gail
    We're limited in what we can do for them,
[14:33] gail
    but something is better than nothing.
[14:36] stel
    Is that why you run an orphanage?
[14:39] gail
    You saw the pictures, right?
[14:41] gail
    I have kids like that in my orphanage, too.
[14:43] gail
    Kids who can't draw anything
    but bloody battle scenes.
[14:50] gail
    We're the ones creating kids like that,
[14:54] gail
    so we have a responsibility
    to see them through this.
[14:57] gail
    Until the time comes when we can show them
    a different world, a different future...
[15:04] gail
    Hey, focus on your driving, will you?
[15:07] gail
    Don't you space out and
    crash into something again.
[15:10] gail
    What's wrong?
[15:12] stel
    Lily said something.
[15:14] stel
    She said you were like a fussy old dad.
[15:17] gail
    What?!
[15:18] gail
    Give me a break...
[15:20] gail
    I have enough kids as it is.
[15:37] gail
    There they are.
[15:39] gail
    We'll join up with them,
[15:40] gail
    then we'll make our way to
    the State of Leo Tacrath.
[15:54] off
    It's clear! Move!
[16:03] huey
    They're shooting us from pillboxes!
[16:05] gail
    Hold your ground! Return fire!
[16:07] gail
    Take out the machine guns!
[16:11] off
    That way! Climb that slope!
[16:23] guy
    What the...
[16:24] break
    Mines! They've mined part of the slope!
[16:27] gail
    Get back! Stick to the planned route!
[16:32] huey
    Damn it, they're trying to
    stall us at every turn...
[16:36] break
    They must be really desperate to
    keep us out of that facility...
[16:40] break
    What the hell is in there?!
[16:43] gail
    Get back as far as you can!
[16:44] gail
    The carriers are going to start shelling!
[16:46] gail
    They'll destroy the mine field!
[16:56] gail
    Now! Charge!
[17:09] break
    You okay, Guy?!
[17:11] guy
    I think so... but my hovers...
[17:14] huey
    Stay there and suck down some booze.
[17:16] huey
    We'll take things from here.
[17:20] gail
    Is everyone all right?
[17:21] huey
    Except for Guy.
[17:23] huey
    He becomes useless at all the worst times.
[17:25] break
    You said it!
[17:36] break
    Lily! Behind you!
[17:39] huey
    Damn you!
[17:44] break
    Get back!
[17:50] stel
    That unit...
[18:04] gail
    Stella!
[18:07] stel
    Commander!
[18:18] lily
    Commander!
[18:24] gail
    Stay back... it's about to explode.
[18:29] stel
    Commander, why...
[18:32] gail
    Why?
[18:34] gail
    Do I need a reason...
[18:35] gail
    to protect my precious subordinate?
[18:40] stel
    Commander...
[18:41] gail
    Stay back.
[18:44] gail
    Stella...
[18:46] gail
    Break...
[18:49] gail

[18:51] gail
    Huey...
[18:53] gail
    Guy...
[18:55] lily
    Commander! Commander!
[18:59] gail
    Survive... and see them through...
[19:06] gail
    To the end of the fighting...
[19:08] gail
    And what begins the day after...
[19:27] lily
    Stella...
[19:55] eine
    Rest in peace before us,
[19:59] eine
    heroic warrior of the Kingdom of Soleil,
[20:02] eine
    Grand Master Harold Miller.
[20:05] eine
    As a token of kindness,
[20:06] eine
    our emperor reaches across the boundary
     that divides friend and foe
[20:12] eine
    to offer his most heartfelt grief.
[20:18] eine
    Ah, the sword you turned against us
    is sheathed one final time,
[20:23] eine
    that you may ascend in peace to the heavens.
[20:26] guy
    Awfully showy for an enemy funeral.
[20:28] eine
    If the times and circumstances 
    had not divided us,
[20:30] break
    That's what they call propaganda.
[20:31] eine
    perhaps instead of crossing swords, we 
    might have shared a drink as friends,
[20:33] guy
    Propaganda?
[20:34] eine
    and talked of the future of the nations 
    to whom we pledged our loyalty.
[20:35] break
    The Kingdom's as exhausted from
    the drawn-out war as we are.
[20:39] break
    Playing on their war-weariness
    is a way to undermine them.
[20:42] huey
    It's all stupid.
[20:44] huey
    Some people didn't even leave a body to bury.
[20:54] lily
    Stella.
[20:57] stel
    Thank you.
[21:02] lily
    Did you know?
[21:05] lily
    The commander wasn't picky,
[21:09] lily
    but beans were the one
    thing he couldn't stand...
[21:16] stel
    Really?
[21:18] lily
    Yes, it's true.
[21:29] huey
    Is that the stuff?
[21:30] guy
    Yeah.
[21:39] (Flashback) gail
    We're on a mission. Hand it over.
[21:48] stel
    Goodbye... Commander.
