01x12 - flowers for m(A)chines

[bunniefuu]

Target confirmed to have lost
mass due to being hit by b*ll*ts.

-Black box signals of 2B and 9S detected.
-Satellite laser weapon cooling begins.

The use of lasers has not been
approved by the Human Council yet.

Are you sure you want to use it?

Commander...

We need God.

Even if He doesn't exist.

Is that a satellite laser weapon...?

Commander...

Report.

Faint signal of the variant detected.

What?

How is it not dead yet?

Pod, locate its position.

Position already located
and marked on the map.

2B.

I know.

You guys go rescue the wounded.

Thanks...

If possible, bring back a sample.

Take care.

Let's go, 2B.

Okay.

9S, don't be too reckless.

I admit I am a bit worried
about my drive system,

but I can assist you
with my hacking skills.

Is that...?

2B, look over there.

Don't tell me it's regenerating...

I...

Hey, Brother.

I'll wait for you.

I'll be right here
waiting for you to come back.

When you come back, let's play.

Promise me, Brother.

Yes...

I promise.

The machine lifeform has emotions?

9S...

It's all over now.

Thank you, 9...

What's wrong?

9S!

I failed.

It seems I was contaminated
when I separated Adam's network.

No...

It's okay.

I can use the data from the bunker
to restore to my previous state.

But if you do that...

You won't be the "current" you anymore.

Yeah...

After all...

I can't upload
the contaminated data to the bunker.

9S...

Please, 2B...

I want you...

to k*ll me...

2B...

Hurry...

Why...

Why is it always like this...?

There's still one left?

You machine...

Is this... communication?

Data communication
resonating with each other?

Wait, 2B!

Are you...?

I seem to have left my personal data
on machine lifeforms.

When I woke up, I'd already reconstructed
myself from the surrounding network.

I really want to record this experience
of gradually integrating multiple selves.

But I can't access the data storage yet,

so I had to split the data
and store it in the surrounding enemies.

-Once I return to my own body...
-9S...

Thank God...

The final battle against
Adam and Eve is now over.

This battle is bound to have
a huge impact on the course of the w*r.

My fight alongside 2B
will continue for a while.

But that's another story.

TWO HOURS PRIOR TO
THE FIGHT AGAINST ADAM

Pod 153 requesting permission.

Allow me to activate the spare body
standing by in the bunker

while my target support object 9S
is undergoing data overhaul.

Permission received.

Recommendation. Check memory area.

All right, all right.

Answering one time
is sufficient for my recognition.

All right.

Memory area check completed.

No problem detected.

Recommendation. Continue inspection.

Okay.

Visual sensor processing
system check completed.

No problem detected.

All checks completed.

Finally, I'm done checking everything
including my body.

There was no need
for a complete data overhaul.

Due to being captured by the enemy,

Model 9S was inoperable
for an extended period of time.

Risk of having been invaded by the
enemy's logic virus during that time...

Okay, I got it.

We just need to synchronize the data with
the bunker's server and we're done, right?

What was that?

Cause unknown.

Terminate data synchronization.

Warning.

Synchronizing data
is the duty of all YoRHa units.

There was a noise of unknown cause.

Don't sync my data with 2B yet, either.

Understood.

To be on the safe side,

I need to find
the cause of the noise first.

Open the port to the server.

Understood.

I can't possibly check everything.

I should focus on investigating
the packets with fewer views.

That one?

Detection.

Port log to
the Lunar Human Council server.

These are... records of materials
transported to the moon.

It's weird, though.

There are a lot of empty containers.

I wonder what they're for...

Warning.

No authority to continue
accessing this data.

Even so, there's too much strange data.

I have to investigate this.

An attacking defensive wall?

Why would they set up
such a thing inside the server?

Pod.

Break server connection.

Activate body device.

Pod, answer me!

Damn.

No!

9S.

Pod, what happened?
Disconnect from the server immediately...

9S.

Pod?

Is this... a new port?

-YoRHa model 9S.
-YoRHa model 9S.

-Who are you?
-Welcome.

What's going on? I can't move my body.

Is this a new defensive wall program?

-We're constantly watching Androids.
-We're constantly watching Androids.

Watching us?

Sometimes in the form of violence.

Sometimes in the form of hatred.

Sometimes in the form of mad love.

We give all kinds of stimuli,

-diverse thoughts, and colorful thinking...
-diverse thoughts, and colorful thinking...

-to machine lifeforms.
-to machine lifeforms.

-We observe...
-We observe...

-how Androids respond to everything.
-how Androids respond to everything.

Are they... an autonomous virus?

But how could this happen
on the bunker's server?

-But our observation ends here.
-But our observation ends here.

Wait!

We're not done yet!

My body...

It's ready.

So, we must...

...provide him with the fruit of truth.

-The truth.
-The truth.

Is that...?

After countless battles and adventures,

the prophet said...

That's my voice.

How come it's coming from there?

Mercy of the earth.

-This data is about the YoRHa project...
-Joy from heaven.

but it contains the project
to establish the Human Council as well.

-Shouldn't it be the other way around?
-Liberation from the shackles.

-Could it be that the Human Council...
-Our souls...

...will be saved.

Forever.

Report.

During the data overhaul,
YoRHa model 9S stopped operating

for 420 seconds due to an error.

Is it because of the error?

During the data check,
part of my memory data disappeared.

9S has not yet completed
data synchronization

and has therefore not yet fulfilled
the duty of all YoRHa models.

Recommendation.
Synchronize data immediately.

Since my data seems to have a problem,

I'll do it next time.

Understood.

Emergency support request from 2B.

From 2B?

9S.

Miss Comm Officer, what happened?

Many machine lifeforms were detected
in the factory ruins where 2B is located.

Soon after, we received
a backup request from 2B.

But the connection was poor...

I understand.

I will try to connect
from the large terminal.

Understood.

Let's go, Pod.

Let's have some fun,

YoRHa model No. 9.

What is the difference between
us Androids and the machine lifeforms?

The machines have evolved and
have developed consciousness and emotions.

The last scream they squeezed out
before their deaths

still lingers...

in my heart.

PREVIEW

Remember it.

The pain of having
our homeland taken away.

We will never give up.

We will take back the ocean,
the sky, the land.

We'll take back the earth that
the machine lifeforms took from us.

We must end this battle now

with the success of this operation.

Glory to mankind.

-Glory to mankind.
-Glory to mankind.

TUNE IN AGAIN NEXT TIME!
