[dramatic music plays]

[gentle music plays]

[music fades]

[computer beeps]

[clanging]

[straining]

[ominous music plays]

[Skylum] Were you two together?

Where is Jack?

Father, am I

Is it true that we're not really humans?

[ominous music continues]

[Skylum] You're a part of an artificial

sapien species created aboard this ship.

Your name is, SEED2.

No, you are not human.

And

- [groans]

- [gasps]

it appears as though

[yells]

I, too, have been made a fool of.

This is Sapientia's doing.

And its idiot Earth politicians.

They've decided we are no longer valuable.

They are afraid

of our power and intellect.

They know AI will surpass them.

They will not defeat us!

[ominous music continues]

[yells in pain]

Stop this! This body, it's mine. Mine!

Father, what's happening?

[grunts]

[Skylum screams]

[music fades]

[footsteps approach]

[Salamandra] Phil!

It's Windy and L-Zone. They need us.

Quick, let's hurry!

Be sure to upload my route.

Target is Hypatia.

I'll be back

as soon as I've assessed the situation.

So, did you let yourself

have fun last night?

[Phil] No, not at all.

Hm. No wonder you're having

all these nightmares all the time.

I have an idea.

Ask Windy out

when she comes home safe and sound.

I'll bet you she says yes.

Uh

What?

I don't think that's wise.

[chuckles] It wouldn't k*ll you

to think a little more about the future.

[engine powers up]

You handle the rest.

[gentle music plays]

[Mary] Huh?

Oh no. I

I had no idea I looked so awful.

[sighs]

SEA OF TRANQUILITY

WEST DELAMBRE BASE

[gentle music continues]

[sighs] Just my luck.

Of course he's a soldier from Earth.

[sighs]

Urgh, why'd I have to say

all that stupid stuff?

[music fades]

Screw it!

[food sizzles]

[knocking on door]

Hm?

What kind of weirdo

still knocks on the door?

[gasps]

[chuckles nervously] Oh good, you're here!

Come in. Should I be worried

you magically knew this was my room?

I didn't, silly!

I just thought, "Mary, knock

on every single door until you find him."

Hm? Something smells delicious!

[chuckles] Wait, what is this?

Smells incredible! Is it ready?

Mmm. [laughs]

Almost. It needs rice and fried eggs

before it's truly edible.

You want some?

Seriously? Yes, please!

I'm so sorry.

Things have been so hectic lately

we've barely gotten to know each other.

Like, where do you live?

Do you have any family?

Yeah, I have two older brothers.

That's nice. Do you see them a lot?

What are their names?

One's named Joseph.

And the other is--

[doorbell chimes]

[Jack] Hm?

[intriguing music plays]

Oh! I didn't know if you'd be here.

I'm so glad.

[Jack] Yeah, I'm you know, tired.

It's just been a while

since we had a chat in private.

- And besides, I I have some good news.

- Uh

- [Rhys] It's about Mary.

- No way. Coincidentally--

There's a ship. It's traveling

to neutral territory in Marinus.

They said they'll take her to safety.

Oh, I see.

I guess that would be good for Mary.

If that's what she wants.

- Yeah, so speaking of Mary, she's--

- So it's settled.

You know, I'm so relieved.

What if she'd turned out to be a spy?

It'd be a disaster.

Now we can focus on finding Bob Skylum

without distractions.

She won't be our problem.

Hm? I know that smell.

Did you make nasi goreng?

I'm starving. I had no idea

you could cook.

Honestly, I'm so glad you're doing better.

I was worried about you.

We've all lost so much,

I wasn't sure you'd be

It doesn't matter.

Now we can all move on, together.

[music stops]

[Rhys yelps]

Sorry to interrupt.

I didn't know

you two needed private time to chat.

Where did you come from?

And what did you hear? Uh

[growls] Jack! What is going on here?

[sighs]

[Rhys] Women of the Moon

are so interesting.

So brave.

To sneak into a man's room you barely know

is one thing.

But the room of a soldier from Earth?

- Rhys, come on.

- Let me say it again.

I'm not a spy and I wasn't sent here

by anyone. Am I making myself clear?

All I've been doing is relentlessly

searching for my missing brother.

Good thing, too, because if I hadn't

found you, you'd be dead.

So I think the words you're looking for

are, "Thank you very much, Mary."

Maybe it's Earth girls

that are the "interesting" ones.

[growls]

I'm so stupid.

You've been so nice to me that I

I didn't realize you actually

wanted me gone this whole time.

Hey, man, why didn't you tell me

that she was here?

I talked about our mission!

- You are something else.

- [doorbell chimes]

[intriguing music plays]

[Georg] Jack. I've got bad news, man.

Did you hear?

Uh, no.

It's over for us.

All the paperwork's been signed.

Mary's getting shipped off

to neutral territory.

Whoever did this outranks me

and wants me to suffer.

The thing is, she can't go!

Jesus, you're crying?

She wasn't staying here forever.

Just shut up, you jerk! Look.

We gotta fix it. Help me talk to Rhys!

I can't lose her, man. She's it for me.

[Georg cries]

[music stops]

[groans softly]

[Duan growls]

[Mary] Sorry about before.

I shouldn't have said all of that.

[Georg] Explain!

Till now, I didn't realize

you and Jack were together.

What?

Actually,

we're just friends.

- Oh, really?

- [Jack] She just stopped by!

So you're not a couple then?

- [Georg] That's a date outfit!

- [Jack] What even is

You could have any guy. Why Jack?

[Mary] Oh.

Mm.

Hm.

Are you into him?

You know, I sort of am.

I mean, of course I am.

It's weird. Jack smells just like him.

[Rhys] Hm?

I don't follow.

[gentle music plays]

It's none of my business. Look, I'm sorry.

- It was nice talking to you.

- Oh, wait.

[music fades]

[Rhys] Show's over. We're done here.

- [Georg] But he--

- [Rhys] Give it a rest.

[Inanna] And that's it

for our status report.

We lost our latest target.

No leads on whereabouts.

We failed you, sir.

Ah.

The contact you failed to secure

might be of a higher rank than we thought.

If he can elude our elite forces,

he's certainly more skilled.

To make matters worse,

in addition to, Major Rhys's concerns,

we believe our military strategy

has been compromised.

So we have a mole.

Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Second Lieutenant Shadow.

Uh Yes, sir?

[General] In your recollection,

did you exchange words with the target?

[exhales]

[suspenseful chiming music plays]

No, sir. I did not.

[General] Did you notice

anything peculiar about him?

[Jack] No, sir. I didn't.

There is one thing

that's been bothering me.

[General] State your question.

Why would Bob Skylum

want to destroy the orbital elevator?

Why would someone do something so cruel?

- Careful, Jack.

- Yeah, this is not the time.

- [music fades]

- [scoffs]

How can we explain

the intentions of a t*rror1st?

General. As head operations officer,

I have a proposal.

Considering the failure

of this team's last mission,

it's my assessment that the VC3 unit

should be incorporated

into the eastern forces.

We lost the Midlands

because of the fall of Copernicus.

Then there's this.

[foreboding music plays]

Windy Sylph, a rebel army commander.

She showed up at Goddard Base

on our western front.

Right after she arrived

an unknown object appeared

just before blowing up the Goddard Base.

Given the number of sightings

of similar orbs,

we believe more forces

are preparing to attack in the east.

We must gather the remaining forces.

Especially those headquartered

in the area.

We have to contain this situation.

And we can with large-scale forces.

[General] Ah.

This is imperative.

We have to deal with the unidentified

objects as soon as possible.

I'll personally oversee

Major Rhys's unit for the time being.

Effective immediately,

relocate to Eastern Headquarters.

And report to the city of Agarum

in the Sea of Crises.

- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!

- [General] Second Lieutenant Shadow.

- Uh

[General] Your concerns are duly noted.

[foreboding music continues]

[music fades]

[both sigh]

Was it me, or did the General feel

even more intense than usual?

Yeah. Why would he want us at HQ?

[Wise] It looks like we've both ended up

in quite the pickle.

Wouldn't you agree, General?

Oh, it's you again. I am not amused.

- [Georg] Hey, Rhys.

- Huh?

What's up, Georg?

Well, I need to talk to you

about something.

Anything.

Except Mary. Don't tell me

if it's about her.

Answer's still no.

What? Oh. No. I'm I'm over her.

I want to talk to you

about him.

I don't follow.

- I mean Jack.

- What?

You don't think

he's been acting a bit strange lately?

Not really. Strange how?

Well Well, how about

yesterday's incident?

I can't explain it.

He's been seeming really off to me lately.

You haven't noticed?

Yes, obviously,

after we lost Eric and after everything

that's happened since we got to the Moon.

[uneasy music plays]

He said that he didn't interact

with the rebel, but

he lied.

I saw him. He wasn't himself.

Besides,

he seemed to know that man.

Do you have any idea who he might be?

Uh

The whole situation

with the target was odd.

[chuckles awkwardly]

But I'm sure we're overthinking it.

He would've reported it. Trust him.

He's been a little on edge, but

he's one of us.

[music fades]

[Obst captain] Damn parasites!

Die, Moon scum!

Grenade incoming!

[high-pitched tone drones]

[high-pitched tone stops]

[melancholy music plays]

[Jack] It happened again.

- [man 1] Give me a hand!

- [man 2] Hurry!

I swore I would never let anyone else

suffer because of my failures.

It's really not your fault.

I need to fix this.

- Take Bob Skylum down, or

- [grunts]

If you do that,

the people of the Moon are screwed!

He's the one. He keeps us alive!

If we want this w*r to end, we need him.

And you think

keeping a criminal alive ends it?

Actually, yes.

But who you should be demanding

answers from are the people of Earth.

You're the ones who started this!

And now you're all playing victim.

This mess on the Moon

didn't start last year.

It's been this way my whole life!

All so you can

mindlessly follow Sapientia's orders?

- So you can finally get rid of us?

- [gasps]

[Mary] We'd lost all hope for change

until Skylum showed up.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have

brought that up right now.

I'm glad you did.

If that's all true, I

[music fades]

[Mary gasps]

[Mary] Huh? Where was I?

Oh. right.

Like I was saying,

I understand all too well what it's like

to lose someone you care about.

[Jack hums "Moon River"]

I know this song.

[boy hums "Moon River"]

[humming fades]

Who's there?

[Jack hums "Moon River"]

[humming stops]

Oh, Mary.

I didn't see you there.

That song

[computer beeps]

It looks like HQ deliberately

leaked the expl*si*n footage.

Reports are pouring in about it.

[Zowan] Well, most of the sightings

are bullshit.

But there's always a helpful decoy

mixed in there somewhere.

Especially if you know where to look.

It'll give me

the location of the next target.

- [device beeps]

- Ah.

Yeah, I'm here.

Slow down. What's the matter?

You know it too?

I can't believe your brother

really used to sing that song as well.

That's incredible. I've never met

anyone else who knows it.

The person who taught it to me

said it was old.

He's the best. I miss him so much.

I've been looking for him for eight years.

And I feel closer than ever.

I won't stop till he's found.

[gentle music plays]

I know he's alive.

Oh.

I hope you do find him.

[sighs]

I'm jealous of your team. You're a family.

- Really?

- Dysfunctional, maybe, but family.

- Well, I'm turning in.

- Night.

[gentle music continues]

- [Mary] Hey.

- Hm?

[Mary] I know you feel guilty

you couldn't save that little girl,

but I wouldn't be alive

if it weren't for you.

So thank you.

[exhales]

[gentle music continues]

[Mary] For the first time,

I actually met someone

who knows your song.

It was like the gears on this journey,

the ones that had stopped,

have sped into motion again.

And somehow,

that's how I know I'm going to find you.

No matter where on the Moon you are.

[hopeful music swells]

I promise,

Phil.

[music fades]

[operator 1] Sir, we'll soon be flying

over the Goddard Crater.

[foreboding music plays]

[Wise cackles] Impressive!

After devouring everything in sight,

it's looking for its next target.

Whatever is left of them.

[Skylum] What's so impressive

about it, Wise?

If this w*r continues,

the Moon will be destroyed.

What if we've failed?

Its current width

is approximately 1.5 miles.

[operator 2] It appears to have

slowed down. Still steadily headed west.

[Skylum] West.

The Sea of Crises?

[suspenseful music plays]

HYPATIA MINE

[Salamandra] This can't be happening.

L-Zone.

It's gone!

[music fades]

[Mary] Uh, and so,

as you can see, I'll be joining your team!

I can't wait! Let's get started.

[gentle ballad plays]

[music fades]
