01x15 - The Final Problem

[bunniefuu]

Racio is a Gnosia.

All that's left is to figure out how

to get everyone else to see the truth

and have them vote accordingly.

Now, allow me to make my report.

I investigated Yuri.

Yuri?

The result was human.

Yuri is not a Gnosia.

Well, that's a surprise!

Wait. If Yuri's human, that means

they're the real Engineer.

Which means that Jonas

would have to be a Gnosia

That's right.

If one of the two claimed Engineers

is confirmed to be human

The other must therefore be a fake.

That's where you're wrong.

I am the real Engineer.

That's why I wanted to confirm if

the fake Engineer was a Gnosia

or the AC Follower.

The goal of the AC Follower

is to throw the meeting into chaos.

They will lie to cause confusion

in the hope of making it impossible

to determine who is human or Gnosia.

They are a true lunatic.

I see So that's what's going on!

The AC Follower Don't tell me

one of those snuck aboard, too?

EPISODE 15: THE FINAL PROBLEM

Unlike the Gnosia,

I am unable to clearly detect their

presence, but it is possible.

So, AC Followers are humans,

who hate humanity?

There's somethin' like that

on the ship, too?

Welp, we're screwed.

Of course.

I told you.

This is no simple game.

Yuriko

Let's think about this objectively.

We have no way of knowing

that Jonas's report is the truth.

If Jonas is a fake, that would mean

everything he just said is a lie.

Pretty much.

But Would he really need

to tell such a roundabout lie?

It's conceivable.

Two people who both claim Engineer

usually have no reason

to investigate each other.

As long as each claims to be the real one,

it goes without saying that they

consider the other to be a fake.

So he could be complicating

things on purpose

to make his case seem more believable?

Yeah.

Th-Then Do you believe

that Yuri is the real one, Setsu?

I can't be certain about that.

Jonas reported that I'm human.

So if anything, I'm inclined to trust him.

I'm just saying that it's a possibility.

But there are two Engineers—

one saying that Racio is a Gnosia,

and one saying that Yuri

is the AC Follower, right?

Welp, pretty sure one of them

is endin' up a popsicle, at least.

Just think about it.

It's clear who's lying here, isn't it?

What exactly do you mean?

Consider Yuri's reports as Engineer.

Yesterday, they reported

that Comet was a Gnosia,

and today, they reported

that I am a Gnosia.

Remember what happened yesterday.

I doubted that Comet's

"gut feeling" was genuine.

That day, I voted for Comet,

not Shigemichi.

Comet has since been reported as a Gnosia

by both Engineers and both Doctors.

Her infection by the Gnosia

is thus 100% confirmed.

As the one who led the charge

to have her put into cold sleep,

it would make no sense for me

to be a Gnosia, wouldn't you say?

Ordinarily, yes. That wouldn't make sense.

But that's exactly what Racio's going for.

By turning on Comet

and throwing her under the bus,

they're trying to make it seem that

they're human and the real Doctor.

The thing is

If I bring that up right now,

it'll just sound like I'm trying

to argue my way out of a corner.

But I can't just stay quiet, either!

Givin' up already?

Looks like we got our answer.

Think of something

Think Think Think

But they are indeed human, even then.

They will show up as human

when investigated

and can even be attacked by the Gnosia.

Wait!

Yes, what Racio said is correct.

But I'd like you to consider this.

Jonas, you're suggesting

that I'm the AC Follower.

Am I right?

Yes, that is correct.

One of those lying liars who is

our enemy despite being human.

But that's just it. "Human."

It's true that the AC Follower

causes problems for the humans,

but the fact is that they are human, too.

The objective of these meetings is

to send the Gnosia into cold sleep

and keep as many humans alive as possible.

So basically even if

Yuri is the AC Follower,

we, like, shouldn't send

them into the freezer?

Yeah.

And it'd make just as little sense

for the real AC Follower to say this.

Which means I'm the real Engineer.

Or at least, that's what

I hope you'll believe.

Yeah, not happenin'.

When it's a matter of life or death,

people get desperate.

Precisely.

In any case, nothing you've said has

refuted any of the points I've made.

And your defense just now basically

confirms that you're the AC Follower.

It didn't work

Kukrushka?

Kukrushka

says that she is the Guardian Angel.

Seriously?

"Yesterday, I succeeded in

protecting Yuri from attack."

"So Yuri is on our side."

Kukrushka

Honestly, that's probably a lie, too.

No The fact is that no one

got attacked today.

That proves that the

Guardian Angel is still alive

and that they successfully

protected someone.

So Kukrushka is telling the truth?

Probably, but that doesn't

disprove anything, either.

The Gnosia don't know who

the AC Follower is, either.

They have to guess just like us.

It's easily possible for them to attack

the AC Follower by mistake—in

this case, Yuri.

It is time.

We will now change over

to the voting process.

I don't know what will happen

but I did everything I could.

Kukrushka

Just who or what was the

Kukrushka from back then?

You may not veto the result.

The voting result will be deemed

to be the will of all present,

and you will abide by it.

Do you agree?

Then it is time for the verdict.

Who is the Gnosia?

Voting has completed.

Ten valid votes.

The voting rate is 100%.

The votes will now be tallied.

A tie?

Welp, this is definitely a pickle.

It's simple. Just turn 'em

both into popsicles.

No. Needlessly freezing humans

is exactly what the Gnosia want us to do.

So we'll put this on hold for now

and pick up the discussion again tomorrow.

This is quite frustrating,

but I suppose there's no other choice.

On hold Well, at least that

gives me one more day

No!

Now that Kukrushka has stepped

forward as the Guardian Angel,

there's no doubt that she'll be

attacked by the Gnosia tonight.

After all, the one person the Guardian

Angel can't protect is themselves.

If that happens

After the next day,

they can just attack me,

the real Engineer, since I

won't be protected anymore.

Even if we manage to put Racio

into cold sleep before that,

there'll still be one Gnosia left.

If we put this on hold right now,

no matter how we proceed,

I won't be able to avoid being

eliminated tomorrow night.

Survive this loop.

In order to meet Yuriko's condition,

I need to find the remaining

two Gnosia by tomorrow.

I concur with putting the meeting on hold.

If everyone's okay with that

Wait!

Could we try voting one more time?

One more time?

It's not like we have anyone

to break the tie.

Unless you wanna ask this guy.

Please!

Yuri?

I only have today and tomorrow

to send both remaining

Gnosia into cold sleep.

If we put this on hold today,

I've already lost!

Please!

Ooh, they're groveling! I've never seen

someone actually do that before!

Does that mean you agree?

What're we gonna do, Captain?

Revoting has completed. Ten valid votes.

The voting rate is 100%.

The votes will now be tallied.

Please Please

Please

It has been decided.

Racio will be put into cold sleep.

How interesting.

Well, they do say that slight errors

can lead to greater mistakes.

I can only wonder which conclusion

this will lead us to.

Who's the one who flipped?

Hey, man. Don't blame me.

Sometimes I just gotta go with the flow.

That was some top-tier groveling.

Sha-ming

Kukrushka

Well, this still makes things

interesting in its own way.

It's simply unfortunate that I won't be

around to see how this all unfolds.

With this, nine of us remain.

And among them is one Gnosia

and one AC Follower.

Under normal circumstances,

the odds would be overwhelmingly

in favor of the humans.

But I'm sure you have

some kind of plan, right?

Well, no use keeping up the act.

You already know what I am,

since you're the real Engineer.

Now that you know she's

the Guardian Angel,

I'm sure you've ordered the remaining

Gnosia to attack Kukrushka tonight.

Hah. Isn't that a bit too obvious?

That won't stop you.

Obvious or not, it's the optimal choice.

And you never overlook

making the best possible move.

I'd written you off as a mere amnesiac

but it appears you have some

small measure of intelligence.

And after that, they'll come

after me, the real Engineer.

But if you were to be attacked,

wouldn't suspicion then fall on Jonas,

the remaining Engineer?

Yeah. That's why Jonas isn't a Gnosia.

I believe he's the AC Follower, which is

why you don't care what happens to him.

Or maybe I knew you'd think that,

and I'm still one step ahead of you.

Unfortunately, this is not

a problem you can solve.

After all you've already

fallen into my trap.

Kukrushka gave everything

she had to get me this far.

I can't let it go to waste now.

I need to find the remaining Gnosia.

ENGINEER CREDENTIALS

Besides us, there are

seven possible candidates.

LeVi, could you show me

today's voting results?

As you wish.

Judging by these results,

the remaining Gnosia is one of

the ones who voted for me—

Jonas, Remnan, or Chipie.

But there's also a chance they

voted for Racio to try to trick us.

If that's true, the options are

No. That'd be too risky for them.

No one suspected Racio after

they threw Comet under the bus,

but they still ended up

being voted out because of me.

I'm sure that came as a surprise.

Since they're the only one remaining,

the last Gnosia probably feels threatened.

Even if they figured Racio

was going to lose at that point,

it'd be far too risky to have the other

Gnosia vote for them just to trick us.

Which means

The Gnosia must be among these three!

Who should I investigate?

First, there's Remnan.

Since I know Racio was a Gnosia,

that confirms he's the real Doctor.

Jonas is suspicious.

Since he's not the real Engineer,

there's no doubt that he's either

a Gnosia or the AC Follower.

But he's taken way too many risks

to be a Gnosia.

Jonas is the AC Follower. Which means

There's only one option!

We will soon be commencing warp.

Please return to your rooms.

I'm alive

Human?

Chipie is human?

What's going on? Does that

mean my logic was wrong?

I need to calmly rethink

everything from the start.

First, Kukrushka and I can be ruled out.

Sha-ming flipped at the last minute

yesterday in favor of protecting me.

As Gnosia, he'd have no reason

to break the tie to betray Racio.

I can safely assume he's human.

I have nothing to go on

with Setsu, Stella, or SQ.

But if I were to look at Setsu

Jonas said that Setsu was human.

If Jonas was the AC Follower

and Setsu was Gnosia,

how likely is it that they

could be working together?

Let's think about this objectively.

We have no way of knowing

that Jonas's report is the truth.

Would they really have said that if the

two of them were on the same side?

I see, so Kukrushka

Affirmative. I do not sense her presence.

How heartless can they be,

going after a cute li'l girl like that?

It was inevitable

that she'd be targeted after

what happened yesterday

That's right. So far, everything

is going as I predicted.

But

After all

you've already fallen into my trap.

What did they mean by that?

First, let's hear the reports.

Yes. Racio, who was sent into

cold sleep yesterday

was infected by the Gnosia.

Whoo! Bingo, I guess.

So Yuri's report was accurate, then?

What's this?

Does this mean that Yuri's the real one

and Jonas is the fake after all?

As I explained yesterday,

Yuri is probably the AC Follower.

The goal of the AC Follower

is to work against the humans

and cause chaos in the meetings.

They will continue to say random things

without actually knowing

who is human or Gnosia.

Nothing has contradicted this.

Well, for now, let's have

you guys make your reports.

We might be able to figure

something out from those.

I will announce my findings first.

I investigated Remnan.

The result was

Gnosia.

He is infected by the Gnosia.

Huh? Who, me?

What about you, Yuri?

Chipie is human. That's my result.

But there's no point in saying that.

If things keep going like this,

the rest of the discussion will be focused

around whether Jonas or Remnan is lying,

and one of them will

be sent into cold sleep.

Remnan is the real Doctor, so the

one who'll be chosen is Jonas.

If Jonas is a Gnosia, then we'll win.

But Racio would have

anticipated that much.

Jonas is definitely the AC Follower.

And because he's human,

it doesn't matter to them if he's frozen.

So why were they so sure

I'd fallen into their trap?

It's because they were certain

that I had missed something!

Think

Think

Think Think

Think Think

Think, think, think!

Are you lying?

Yuri, your report?

Sorry, I guess it's my turn.

This is ultimately just a hunch, but

I'm going to have to trust in my gut.

I also investigated Remnan.

The result was Gnosia.

Remnan, you are infected by the Gnosia.

For real?

Hey, hold on. The hell's goin' on here?

Both Racio and Remnan came

forward as the Doctor

And they're both Gnosia?

Yeah. That was the trap they set for us.

LeVi, can you play back the

third day's meeting for us?

As you wish.

Show yourself already.

I kept quiet about it until now,

but I'm the Doctor.

What am I looking for?

He took a while to raise his hand.

He probably realized the real

Doctor wasn't coming forward,

so he panicked and put his hand up.

What? So you're saying that the real

Doctor was already gone by that point?

Yeah. It would seem

that the real Doctor

was Jina, who was attacked the second day.

The Gnosia were lucky.

They just happened to eliminate

the real Doctor first

when there were still a lot of us left.

That's when they thought

that they should both claim Doctor.

If either was exposed as a fake,

they figured we'd be extremely likely

to assume the other one was human.

Then no one would suspect them.

P-Please wait.

This This is all just speculation!

Is it, though?

Huh?

If Jonas is the real Engineer,

that means his reports are the truth.

That would confirm me as human

and you, Remnan, as a Gnosia.

And if Yuri is the Engineer

Remnan is confirmed

to be a Gnosia either way.

P-Please wait!

Based on what you just said,

both you and Jonas could

be fakes in the same way!

Unfortunately that's impossible.

Huh?

Try to remember.

Jonas and I both claimed

Engineer on the second day.

At that point, the only ones who had been

eliminated were Yuriko and Otome.

They were both Guard Duty.

So the probability that the real Engineer

had been eliminated at that point was

zero.

Then

Racio's plan really was flawless.

It was so convincing that

even the AC Follower,

Jonas, was certain you were human

and decided to report you as Gnosia

in order to confuse everyone.

I'm surprised you figured it out.

Honestly, I was fooled, too until

I realized it during today's meeting.

But didn't you investigate me

as the Engineer?

Yuri?

Sorry to say it,

but even humans lie every now and then.

Are you kidding me?
