Over here! We've got survivors in this lifeboat.

- Unharmed? - Don't know. They aren't moving.

There's something blocking the door. I can't get it open.

They've been there for a while.

- If we don't get them out soon... - Get more help!

Are you okay?

Code red! Get him to the fifth floor, stat!

Jacob, do you like this world of ours?

Yeah, I like it.

It can't be.

Excuse me.

Oh, Mr. Shadow. Looks like you're awake. That's great.

Your parents? Well...

Sapientia is unable to confirm their safety.

Rhys...

The others! The others in the lifeboat?

I'm afraid you were the only one brought here, Mr. Shadow.

I appreciate it.

Damn, I can't get through to anyone on the CyPhone.

Damn it! Not even Eric?

Rhys!

Fuck!

Starting today, I vow that we shall no longer allow the Earth

to meddle in our affairs or plunder our resources!

On this great day, we stand strong together

and declare our independence!

Children of the Moon,

it is time to rise up!

Moonrise!

Today marks the ninth day

since Bob Skylum, also known as "the Moon Devil"

declared unilateral lunar independence.

A militant organization using the moniker the Moon Chains

has occupied the settlement of Timaeus in the northern Mare Frigoris region.

And it seems the unrest will soon spread to the near side of the Moon.

Are you Jacob Shadow?

...estimations place the number of...

Missing something?

...of millions. Breaking news.

Just now, in the suburbs outside Los Angeles,

the Joint Army has detained a person of interest

suspected of aiding the terrorists.

The individual will be transported then held at a Joint Army facility in...

NEVADA JOINT ARMY HQ FACILITIES

You stay put. The boss'll be here soon.

Don't give us any trouble.

Hold up!

What the hell? What's going on here?

Why am I being held?

I think you're pretty cocky for a fucking terrorist.

Hey! Wait!

I'm Jacob Shadow. Don't you know who I am?!

Hey!

And you've... verified this?

We have. It's new intel, but reliable.

Where are they holding him?

Just up ahead. You've gotta act quick.

The Joint Army is serious.

They'll sway the public in their favor and press on with the proceedings.

I'll try to stall them. As much as I can anyway.

Thank you.

Those are some stern faces.

Funny, it reminds me of this time... See, I got locked in a bathroom.

- Jack.

Rhys.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Jack, you've been named as an accomplice in the recent terrorist attack.

I assume they've told you.

Yeah.

The Joint Army is mobilized

and actively working to substantiate the charges against you.

Once the investigation officially starts,

neither me nor anyone else will be able to intervene.

I swear I didn't do it. I must have been hacked.

That possibility is also being explored.

But ultimately, the judgement will be reached

based on depositions from you and those near you

during and before the attack.

But that's...

You know me better than anyone, Rhys.

You know I could never do anything like that.

There's more.

New intel suggests that your gene screening results

have been intentionally falsified for years.

Wha...

Wait, what now?

And they're speculating that this falsification

was a key factor that enabled the attack on the orbital elevator.

There must be some mistake.

This is insane!

Whether your mother and father were aware of this discrepancy, we still don't know.

And I'm afraid they're still missing.

Of course, they haven't ruled out the possibility

that your genes may have mutated as a result of some external factor.

Does anything come to mind?

Jack, you must know something. Some detail that you might be forgetting.

Jack, I need you to think!

We need to act while I can still intervene.

I had nothing to do with this.

But... I remember

that man.

Who?

Bob Skylum.

They call him "the Moon Devil."

No. Just tell them I don't know anything.

It's just that I was...

Or rather that

we were raised by him years ago.

Long before I met you.

It was before my mom and dad adopted me.

Most of my childhood was spent in that... that strange facility.

Strange facility?

Here's what I remember.

Jacob.

Jacob!

It's almost time.

Okay.

Do you like this world of ours?

Yeah, I like it.

It's about time!

Come on, Jack. Hurry!

You're cutting it close. See you there!

Oh. Oh, okay. Good morning.

Whoa, hey! Uh, Phil! W-Wait for me!

Seed 1, Seed 2, this is your final assignment.

Program #521.

Begin.

No way!

I lost again!

I can't believe we actually made it to the morning session on time.

Right? I stayed up way later than I should've.

Oh yeah. You didn't come back to our room till really late last night.

Yeah, about all that...

I'll tell you all about it later tonight, okay? Sorry. I'm late.

Another day in paradise.

Oh, hey! Good morning, Dad.

Good morning, Jacob.

Today, you'll practice the programs I taught you yesterday.

Children, listen carefully.

You are the future of the Moon,

and your growth and development here are essential for our great revolution.

I expect your best work.

- Yes, sir!

Daddy!

Are you leaving again? Why can't you stay?

But Phil is here. He can take care of you.

Ew, I don't want Phil.

That was mean, Sophie.

Well, go on and finish up your lunch, okay?

Okay!

- Jack? - Huh?

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's just that, well...

How long do you think we'll be stuck here?

And this revolution that Dad keeps telling us about...

Phil, what?

Phil! Jack!

Hey, guys!

Time to go back inside.

Hey, we'll talk about it later, okay?

- But-- - Come on.

Let's head back for now.

Man, am I tired.

All I have to do is turn in my report and then I'm done.

But first, time for a little treat.

Ah, that's good!

Huh?

What are you doing over here, Phil?

Lights out soon, you know?

Hm.

In all the time I spent there, I never once questioned our daily lives.

Venturing beyond the facility grounds was strictly forbidden.

As was passing though the doorway used by the man we called "Dad."

But we were given plenty of free time to play,

and every night, Phil and I could talk.

Hey, Jack. You awake?

Of course! Wouldn't miss it.

We were happy.

I almost forgot. Phil?

Yeah, Jack? What's up?

Didn't you have something to tell me?

Oh, right.

Hm. The truth is...

What was that? That noise?

I... I don't know.

I'm scared, Jack.

How could...

What's going on?

Where is everyone? What's happening?

Jack, this way!

No, don't do it! We can't go through there.

Father forbids it.

We can't worry about that now!

Now what the heck is that noise?

What's this?

What is happening?

Jack, look.

Sophie!

And that's when we learned the truth.

That our world had been completely fabricated.

Dad, why? What are you doing?

Why is this happening?

Father?

- Father!

Damn it! Shit!

Hey, Phil?

Were we being lied to the whole damn time?

Don't know.

But one thing's for sure. That the world that we've been living in

was not everyone else's reality.

Whiz, activate.

Phil. What are you...

We're running out of time.

This is where we part ways.

I'm giving you my right arm. It's yours now. So...

You survive!

You live a long life.

For both of us.

Bye, Jack. Goodbye.

Over here! It's gotta be here.

Call an ambulance. Hurry!

- It's a boy! - Is he conscious?

Are you all right?

Don't be afraid, son.

It's okay now.

You're safe.

And that's it. That's all I can remember.

Prosecutor Landry?

I've been listening to your conversation from the other room.

You mean...

Jack!

Oh. Hey, long time no see.

You are indicted.

Until Sapientia passes judgement, you're in my custody.

- Take him. - No! Wait!

There is one more thing, Jacob.

No avoiding it. You will submit to taking a new gene screening.

What did you expect?

Your prior gene screening results have been expertly faked for years.

And, Rhys, you'll undergo the test as well.

Huh?

What the hell?!

What are you trying to do?!

ONE YEAR LATER

Jack.

Mm.

I know you're probably aware,

but you haven't been cleared of suspicion yet.

Of course you know that I believe you, but...

Listen, you can't do anything that might seem suspicious.

Just keep a low profile or they might just order your execution.

Yeah, sure. I know that.

I'll behave, Major!

Huh? Uh...

You do know that I'm serious, right?

I really don't want that to happen.

If they ordered your execution, I don't know what I'd do.

So, will you knock it off?

Come on, Rhys. There's really no need to worry.

- Don't you trust me? - Rhys? Hello? Rhys?

We still got a briefing to--

Oh, leave 'em alone. It's no use.

Then I have to swing in and...

I agree. Let's continue the briefing, Inanna.

I get it. So sue me for having a sense of humor.

- Are you even listening?

Of course I'm listening!

As the VC3 Reconnaissance and Assault Unit,

we are tasked with a singular mission.

Terminate Bob Skylum, leader of the Moon's rebel army.

In order to locate the target's whereabouts,

we'll need to infiltrate the enemy's territory.

Over the last year, not even one of our experts

has been able to pinpoint the exact location of Skylum's hideout.

Why can't we use Sapientia to track him down?

Rank and file don't know about this.

Sapientia's supervision doesn't reach the underground cities.

Which means in-person mobilization.

Check out the big brains on Osma. You get a gold star!

One of our squads below

has already successfully established a base on the front lines in the city.

First order of business, rendezvous with their leader.

What's our destination?

The Copernicus Elevator.

We head for the largest lunar city with an orbital elevator.

The base is located deep within its lower-level blocks.

Okay, then.

Bob, we, the Moon Chains, easily have the advantage here.

Why, it's almost time, isn't it?

Your presence is required on the main bridge.
