02x02 - mission (F)ailed

[bunniefuu]

- We've confirmed that
the network core units known

as Adam and Eve have
successfully been eliminated.

Because of this, the enemy's
chain of command has been thron

into complete chaos.

Humanity's chosen
to take advantage

of the opening they've
been given by launching

an all-out attack against
the machine lifeforms.

Meaning the forces of YoRHa
will participate as well.

Never forget the pain
of having your homeland stolen.

We will never give up
our struggle.

We'll take back the seas,
the skies, the land.

Take back the planet that

was taken from us by
the machines.

With the success
of this mission,

here and now we'll put an end
to this damn w*r.

Glory to mankind.

all: Glory to mankind.

Our operation begins now.

to type S units, done.

[gasps]

I guess it started.

The final large-scale invasion
operation had begun,

but back then I had no idea
of what was about to happen.

I didn't know how
the battle would end.

Or what fate had in store
for the both of us.

- This is 4S to 9S.

Hacking and seizing
of enemy anti-air system

in my area was successful.

- Roger that.

Please continue to be
on high alert for now.

- Gotcha!

[beeping]

- The enemy we're facing now

are units severed
from the network.

If they're no longer governed
by anything anymore,

then what's with
their movements?

[beeping]
[gasps]

- This is 32S to 9S.

I'm just about done hacking
and clearing out all the enemies

in my area, too.

- Roger that.
Please continue to--

- Anyway, can I ask
you something?

I noticed 12B pats my head
a lot.

What's up with that?

There, there.
- Hey, knock it off.

That's embarrassing--
[beeping]

- [exhales sharply]

As long as they complete
their missions,

it's fine.
[beeping]

- This is 10S.

No issues on our end.
We're good to go.

- Roger that.
- By the way, 9S,



asking me what
I think about her.

Any idea what she means by tha?

I'm starting to get worried
she thinks--

- Partners, huh?

Man, I'm jealous.
[beeping]

[gasps]

- This is 11S to 9S.

I'm finished working on
the area assigned to me.

Also--
- Okay, I get it already!

- If you get it then make sure
you synch your data next time

you return to the bunker, okay?
- Huh?

Oh, that. I totally forgot.

- I figured as much.

You haven't turned your combat
data in so we can't update any

of the scanner models.
- Roger that.

I'll deal with it once we're
finished with the mission.

- Don't take too long.
- [exhales sharply]

I had completely forgotten that
I'd stopped the data synch.

And, hey, how come all the other
units get to work in pairs

while I'm stuck alone?
[beeping]

[gasps]

- This is 21O to 9S.

It seems your
management assignment

for all Type S models
is going well. Way to go.

Keep up the good work
over there.

- Geez. You're treating me
like I'm a child.

- 9S.
- Yes?

- I ask you distance yourself

from the operation area
during combat.

- But then I won't be able
to assist you.

- Unfortunately, scanner models
like yourself aren't designed

for battle.
- Oh.

So then you're just worried
about me?

- No. To put it simply,

you'd be a liability on
the battle field.

- So harsh.

- But after the operation,
maybe... no.

Never mind that.

of Point Gamma.

First satellite laser will begin
entering the cool down sequence.

- Unless there's data
that we're not aware of,

there should only be two enemy

production factories
left after that.

- Right.
When the cool down's complete,

fire at our next target.
both: Roger.

- Enemy network units Adam

and Eve have both successfully
been eliminated.

Contradicting what
we once believed,

their master--the aliens--
have been confirmed

to be extinct
as the intel suggests.

It was certainly
an unexpected development

to find out that the aliens we
had been searching for

this whole time were found
in such a state.

Nevertheless, I have no doubt
this victory in truth

will be a huge step towards
the reclamation of Earth.

- Then why is it
we don't disclose

the truth to the others about
the aliens?

- We humanity here on the moon
are filled with elation

for the recent progress
that's been made.

- Good.
I'm happy to hear that.

- We're eagerly awaiting
your victory against

the machine lifeforms.

Thus for this large-scale
descent operation,

we will authorize the usage
of the satellite lasers you've

been requesting as well
as authorize the renting

of YoRHa weapons to members
of the resistance.

- Huh?
You can't be serious.

- Have faith, Commander White.

Whether or not our plan succees
or fails depends fully

on this operation.

We want you to use all
the powers we have

to ensure victory.

Do you have an issue with that?

- No.

Thank you for your help.

I promise we'll annihilate
the machine lifeforms

and take back the planet
as our own.

- We're counting on it.

Glory to mankind.

I can't believe Commander White
of YoRHa was generous enough

to lend us such powerful weapons
like this big fella!

- The rental of state-of-the-art
YoRHa weapons

and the gathering of enemy
Goliath-class machine lifeforms.

Just like the YoRHa intel said.

- I know you're feeling iffy
about all this,

but let's enjoy it for now.

- [exhales]

Fine.

But still,
was it really necessary

to use all these
powerful weapons at once?

- Of course it was!

Do you know just how much
I've been holding back?

I've been having
to slowly unveil our weapons

so the enemies can't adapt
to them!

This is an annihilation
operation so I can use

as much as I want!

So no more holding back,
like it or not!

- Well, there are a lot
of enemies.

So I guess we can't afford
to hold back in

a situation like this.

- Miss Lily!
[both gasping]

It's bad.

There's more enemies
approaching!

- But how?

After all that, we still
weren't able to wipe them out?

As soon as you're able to,
fire again!

This is bad.

Our defenses are in disarray

from the attack earlier.

Where are they?

Afterwards, we'll join

After the combat

I'll try to regroup with 2B.

an annihilation mission

as part of one
of the guerrilla units.

- I see.
In any case,

I never expected the operation
you set up to go this well, 9S.

- It's all thanks to the support

from everyone here in
the resistance.

That said,
there is something strange.

- Strange?

- They're units severed
from the network

but they're gathering
at the same point

as if they made
prior arrangements

to do so before they
were cut off.

Similar things
are happening elsewhere, too.

Type S's as the mediator.

We fell for their trap
and they got us.

[grunts]

- 9S, are you all right?
- [gasps]

I'm relieved to see
that you're safe, Miss Lily.

I'm a bit wobbly because
of the EMP.

But besides that, I'm fine.

- I see. I'm sorry I put you
in harm's way.

- I'm gonna reboot the ones
that didn't evacuate

in time, okay?

- Gotcha. Sounds good.
- Report.

Virus contamination signal

- Contamination level
very shallow.

Completed virus deletion.

as that EMP earlier.
- What?

- Talk about some
pathetic troops.

Couldn't even evacuate.
- Abort the reboot!

Abort!

- Sorry.

- Thank you, Leader.

this operation is a failure.

We should retreat back

- Miss Lily.

I understand.

Hey, Pod,
connect me to command.

- Communication failed.

Detecting radio jamming

- Radio jamming?

Can you locate the source?

- Currently analyzing.

Alert. A YoRHa flight
assistance unit that

is no longer responding
to call signs is approaching.

- It's hit!

- Faint black box

- Can I--
- Please go.

And don't worry about
what happened this time around.

As long as we can deal
with this virus before reboot,

we can cut down the number
of our casualties.

It's just a matter
of doing it in time.

It happens a lot.
That's right.

Things like this happen a lot.

At least for us resistance.

- 11S.

- [wailing]
- He's infected.

Already?

But how?
[beeping]

I don't remember 11S being on
the hacking team.

[beeping]

Shouldn't even be affected
by this.

- Report. YoRHa unit 11S's
infection depth has arrived

at level four.

Saving is now impossible.

- Four?

I was hit with the virus, too,

but it was at a level where
it could still be dealt with.

So what's going on?

- 11S's input port
is open unconditionally.

- Unconditionally?

That makes him vulnerable
to anything!

- Port number 1423.
Port used only for data syncing.

- Data syncing.

- If you get it then make sure
you synch your data next time

you return to the bunker, okay?

- Could it be that they planted
a backdoor into

the data synchronization port
and the EMP was the trigger

to open it up,
and that's when the virus--
