01x04 - A mountain too (H)igh

[bunniefuu]

Just thinking about her
tears my heart into a thousand pieces...

Your Highness, what troubles you...?
Tomorrow is coronation day...

Don't mention that...

Found you...

You're alive...?

The diva is mine...

Run, your Highness...

I won't let you...

I'm going to k*ll you...

True love is mine...

Tomorrow will be sunny...

Delicious...

-Shower first or dinner first...?
-Shower first or dinner first...?

Here, drink.

You can't drink such fresh Earth water
in the bunker, can you?

Come on, drink.

I don't need that.

I'm offering it to you.
Why won't you drink it?

Sorry.

We, YoRHa models get water automatically
from our internal water tank.

I see.

That's a convenient body you have.

Thank you for offering, though.

Water tank, huh?

Let me... touch it!

What are you doing?!

-Where is it? I want to touch it.
-Stop, Miss Jackass!

Jackass, that's enough.

So, what exactly did you see?

We...

followed a unique machine lifeform
and found numerous corpses of Androids.

Did the machine lifeforms...

It's their doing.

Then, the ground collapsed.

Two variants at the same time?

Yes, they were variants
we'd never seen before.

Were you able to destroy them?

Unfortunately, no.

The bunker is analyzing
the combat data we transferred.

That machine lifeform
took on the shape of an Android.

I wish I'd seen that with my own eyes!

From the moment it was born, it started
evolving at an astonishing rate.

It even learned to speak.

It was just imitating humans.

But sooner or later,
it will surpass humans.

You should watch what you say, Jackass.

Recently, machine lifeforms
are clearly changing.

Maybe we can negotiate with them.

After all, it's been done before.

What?

Even if we could communicate,
we'd still be incompatible.

Maybe we can find a way to call a truce.

A truce?

We won't get this planet back with that.

Besides...

What?

What did our comrades die for, then?

Their beliefs and the reason they fought
would all have been for nothing.

Our mission as Androids
is to fight for mankind.

To destroy machine lifeforms
and reclaim Earth.

How much longer do you want to keep
fighting this thousands-of-years-long w*r?

Until...

everything is destroyed.

Anyway, let's just focus on
what's right in front of us.

That's the end of this topic.

We, Androids, have to obey all orders.

Meanwhile, machine lifeforms
are evolving to be freer and freer.

We are made to resemble
humans, our creators.

But why would a machine lifeform copy us?

Thinking about things you can't
understand is a waste of time.

Right...

This is Commander White
from the Satellite Orbit Base bunker.

The operation that is now in progress

cannot be ex*cuted with only 2B and 9S.

Difficulties gathering intelligence and...

Commander.

As I've repeatedly mentioned,

your request for reinforcements
cannot be accepted.

Use the local Resistance
as bait and complete the mission.

We won't just lose Resistance
but also 2B and 9S if...

The encountered unique machine lifeforms,
Adam and Eve,

as well as all other machine lifeforms
they are anticipated to encounter,

are already programmed
in the YoRHa project.

Even so, it's too...

It's all for the victory of mankind.

As Androids, we have to look at
the bigger picture when making a decision.

Even if that means
sacrificing many of our own?

Exactly.

As for you,

you are already on our side.

Glory to mankind.

Glory to mankind.

Commander.

What is it?

I was able to establish
communication with 2B and 9S.

Do I have permission
to give them their next mission?

Yes...

This nice weather is making me sleepy.

How about we sleep for a little while?

That's not necessary.

Humans used to take
something called "nap."

It's interesting how humans sleep
even when it's not necessary.

What's that?

You've never seen it before?

They're sending materials
from Earth to the bunker or to the moon.

Because there's no material
or fuel in space.

I see.

Why don't machine lifeforms
and their creators, the aliens,

attack the bunker directly?

After all, they are originally from space.

No one knows what aliens are thinking.

Comm Officer 21O to 9S and 2B.

Hiya.

The commander has a new task for you.

Starting video now.

We have found several machine lifeforms
showing friendly traits.

The YoRHa unit sent to investigate them

has left an unintelligible voice message
but we cannot establish communication.

What a fun show it was.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Since we're still able
to detect their black box signals,

they don't appear to be dead yet.

We have narrowed down the area
where the signals are coming from.

I order you two
to investigate this incident.

Also, the unique machine lifeform
you reported is still being investigated.

I will contact you when
we have any new information.

Communication over.

I hope the missing unit is doing okay.

Yeah.

Apparently, YoRHa and Resistance
used to not get along well.

Do you know anything about it?

No.

Pod, do you know anything?

Information on the relationship to
Resistance is in a restricted category.

Probably some kind of
interfactional rivalry.

That's a human trait
they didn't have to imitate.

-We should work in harmony...
-...and just shut up.

Got it...

RUINS OF AMUSEMENT PARK

Is this our destination?

Seems like it.

This is fun...

Share the joy...

They're not attacking us.

Are these the friendly machine lifeforms
the commander mentioned?

A fun show is about to begin...

Is this the place from the voice message?

Report. Weak black box signals detected.

This seems to be the right place.

Report. Many Androids
detected behind this door.

What is this place?

Oh, how beautiful the moonlight is...

Please be careful,
the moon can make people go crazy.

I have already gone crazy
because of a disease called love.

What are those machine lifeforms doing?

Acting. To perform
a human life on the stage.

Human life, huh?

They're machine lifeforms.
Why would they...

The clock strikes twelve.

Prince...

Diva...

What's going on?

What is this?

No similar combat records
found in database.

It's a unique machine lifeform.

-Pod, covering fire!
-Understood.

What's it doing?

2B, let's retreat for now.

Roger.

Report. Unable to leave combat area

due to enemy's electromagnetic waves.

We're at a disadvantage. I'll hack it.

The enemy is hacking us!

I will transform...
With lots of accessories.

I will become beautiful...

2B!

I'm fine. But it said...

"lots of accessories."

What's up with it?

The core!

If we destroy that...

I...

I want to...

become more beautiful...

Are those corpses of Androids?

It's reusing the corpses as weapons.

No...

Their black boxes are
still emitting signals.

They're weaponized alive.

Recommendation. Retreat.

I'll end it here.

I'll hack it. Cover me.

Roger.

What is this place?

Tell me, am I beautiful...?

It's as if it has emotions.

Tell me, am I beautiful...?

-Am I beautiful...?
-Help me...

What is going on?

Tell me, am I beautiful...?

Stop it!

More...

More beautiful...!

Someone... Help me...

No... I don't want to...

No...!

Warning.

Saturation attack
from the enemy's self-data

may cause serious damage to memory.

9S!

I...

love you...

I love you...

Enough already! Die!

Let me go.

Not this one...

Not this one, either...

I can't stand it anymore...

Help me... k*ll me...

-For him...
-Stop it!

I'm sorry...

Warning.

Enemy out of control.
9S is about to get drawn in.

Pod. I need an emergency exception
to hack the enemy.

Not recommended.

Hacking by Type B is susceptible...

Hook me up to 9S. I don't care!

I'm sorry...

Damn it!

2B! How did you get here?

He's mine...

Give it back...

There you are!

Pod!

Understood.

Attack!

I have become beautiful...

2B!

Thank you for saving me.

But hacking in was crazy of you.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

What's that?

Is this crystal
the machine lifeform's core?

Answer. A piece of
the machine lifeform's core.

Similar construction to a plant cell.

A plant cell...

This machine lifeform
was saying funny things.

As if it had feelings...

Machine lifeforms don't have
such things as feelings.

Mother...

Please don't...

We just came to watch the show...

Please...

Please...

Please...

At least spare my daughter...

Never hesitate, 2B.

INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS OF
THE GAME NieR:AUTOMATA.

NieR:AUTOMATA PUPPET SHOW
"13TH ORBIT BASE"

We from the YoRHa unit...

-...are the ultimate weapon of w*r.
-...are the ultimate weapon of w*r.

The decisions of the Human Council...

-...must be strictly adhered to.
-...must be strictly adhered to.

21O, report on
flying equipment operations.

The maintenance unit reported
an operation rate of 99%.

6O, what's the status of
the satellite laser weapon?

The technical unit reported that
it's almost ready to resume operations.

It's still not ready? What are they doing?

Machine lifeforms won't wait for us.
Tell them to hurry.

Yes, Commander.

We YoRHa unit are
the spear of hope for mankind.

Keep that in mind!

-Understood.
-Understood.
