01x04 - For All Humanity

Post by bunniefuu »

Hmm?

Stupid rats.

Team Five is briefed and ready.
All Robos have been deployed.

I'm on my way to Shanghai base.

Good. And the techs were sent
to upgrade the GDR control units.

Sky Corps is on a skeleton crew?

The Sharg ship hasn't moved.

As long as it's out there, and the GDR
is operational, we should be good.

I wanna make sure our defenses
are prepped before your recon to Mars.

Okay, I'll be back soon to recharge.

Twenty-one!

Where are you hiding your cards?

Oh, so it's like that, Galleta?

Just 'cause you lost,
doesn't mean I cheated.

Uh, that's your third blackjack
in the last five hands.

You totally cheated,
just like when we were trainees.

Hey, I said it then
and I'll say it now, winning's winning.

- Guys...
- You're out of sugar. Get up there.

Keep count. I don't trust her.

All right, let's go.

One,

two, three,

four and a half... five,

six, come on.

- Seven... eight...
- Let me show you.

Are you okay?

Don't even try
to stop this g*n show.

And in the red corner,

Maya "Saber" Sanchez
says she doesn't need her left arm!

She'll fight on!

And in the blue corner,
Frank "Big-time" Olivetti

will not be denied, going head-to-head!

All right... all right, you win.

Man, this thing is annoying.
Still pinches in the worst spot sometimes.

What,
you want pity points, or something?

Oh, no.

You're going down!

Bring it on.

Have a great first weekend.

Be sure to share these with your friends.

Ugh!

Whoa, you all right?

Yeah. This Robo alloy
is impossible to get through.

Just needs a little elbow grease, kid.

Hey. I'm having some issues over there
with Big Red's shoulder.

Hello?

Are you talking?

The Skycat would help me a ton.

Don't mind them. They're incredibly rude.

Let me get that for you.

Oh, will you look at that.
I'm off the clock.

Maybe next time.

Hello?

I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know it would be
you coming down here personally.

It's fine.

These were supposed to be destroyed.

Did you see Dr. Miller?

Who?

Uh, there was no...

You okay?

Yeah, something...

Oh my God!

Be careful with that thing.

Is this... Dr. Miller?

I can't tell, but I think so.

What are you guys doing?

Ava?

Where did you come from?

Chief Max, did you see anything in there?

No, sir. What's going on?

Whatever hatched out of that
is now somewhere in the campus.

And if it is indeed a Sharg,

we cannot let it escape.

Pick up, Sergeant Stanchie.

Chief Max, I need you
to lock down the campus.

- Close the main gate.
- Understood. I'll tell the operators...

They're all gone,
installing the GDR upgrades.

- I need you to do it.
- I'm on it, sir.

My son, he's still here
in the cadet dorms.

I need to go find him.

You're Stanford's mother?

Yes, Cadet Stanford Yu.

We need to destroy
the remaining eggs first.

One Sharg loose on the campus
is manageable, but four...

Wait! The plasma incinerator!

Hmm.

Sir! What can I do?

- Go home.
- Go home.

Come on. Let's go. I'm on it, sir.

You just gonna stand there and watch,
or are you gonna get your hands dirty?

- But I can help!
- It's too dangerous right now.

Listen to me. Go home.

How may I be of assistance?

We need to lock down the campus.

A campus lockdown
requires a manual override.

Come on, come on!

Lockdown
in T-minus three minutes.

Three minutes?

This thing will work, right?

Yes, Stanford keeps it running
in tip-top shape.

Fingers crossed.

All right, let's go find...

No, wait!

What's going on?

I think the incinerator shorted the locks.

Tip-top shape, huh?

Open the gate.

I can't let anyone leave.

What?
You need to open that gate right now!

Maxton, I don't know
what kind of power trip you're on,

thinking you're all better than me.

Hey!

Jeez! Olivia!
You almost gave me a heart attack.

You see that?

What's going on?

I don't know. Let's wake the others.

Watch out!

Run!

O.N.B.R.!

What's O.N.B.R.?

On-deck, battle ready!

Sharg!

Here! Use this too!

Huh.

Now what?

As long as the campus is secured,
nothing can get out, including that Sharg.

- That's what's important.
- What about Stanford and your daughter?

My daughter understands what's at stake.

It's not about just saving one person.
It's about protecting all of humanity.

You would've gotten along
great with Stanford's dad.

Well, is duty something
Stanford really understands?

You don't have to worry about Stanford.

My son knows what's right.

At least the incinerator is still working.

Maybe it's gone.

Is that all you've got, you Sharg trash?!

Frank! Wait for us!

He's out there by himself.
We gotta help him.

It's cutting-edge technology,

one of a kind and very expensive.

It conforms to the ExoSuits
and you'd be the first to use it.

I tried once when I was younger,
but it just wasn't for me.

I just prefer my crutches.

I mean, I'm even on them
to train for the Paralympic trials.

Is there no way?

You were a pilot, Claire, one of our best.

You can understand
that it's just not feasible

to adjust the ExoSuit for one person.

Sir.

I understand.

It would be an honor
to carry on my mother's legacy.

I want to be a pilot,

and if the prosthesis is the only way...

Is... is it still there?

Is what still there?

What're you doing here?
Why didn't you go home?

I just wanna help.

Ugh.

We need to find General Park.

Hey! No! Don't take...

Still off the clock, huh?

General Park, you in there?

Chief Max?

You guys okay?

Did the Sharg get out?

No, the campus is still secure.

What's going on in there?

The other three eggs, they've hatched!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

If you hit the incinerator,
you'll blow us all up into Sharg snot!

Stanford! Your mom!

- Mom!
- Stanford, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's no use.

The incinerator shorted the locks.

Aren't the locks controlled
from Central Command?

No one lifts the lockdown!
That's an order!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Is it dead?

Yeah, you saved us.

Oh, my prosthesis.

Don't worry.

We'll figure it out.

Help me get this off!

How may I be of assistance?

Stanford,
you were ordered not to touch that!

- I heard.
- Stand down.

I'm the one who worked
on the incinerator. I messed up.

This is all my fault!

Stop!
That will open the main gate as well.

We can't risk those three Shargs
getting out into the world!

My mom is not expendable!

I can't do that!
Would you sacrifice your dad?

For all humanity. Whatever the cost.

I can't hold on for much longer.

Dolly, General Park, let's go!

General Park, leave it!

- We can't let them escape!
- Roger that.

My leg!

Come get some!

No!

General Park.

Ma, you okay?!

You disobeyed a direct order,
Mech Cadet Yu.

You compromised not only this campus,
but the world at large.

What were you thinking?

Sir, I was just trying
to save my mom's life and yours.

And that's what you don't get!

You were never a trainee of this academy,
so I don't expect you to understand.

Humanity first is a principle
we ingrain from day one.

You obviously fail to grasp the meaning
of sacrifice, of honor, of duty!

I have no choice

but to expel you from Sky Corps Academy.
