I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...

...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.

Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.

Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,

obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,

ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.

Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,

pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...

Save your tears for the day...

...when the pain is far behind.

On your feet, come with me.

We are soldiers, stand or die.

Save your fears, take your place.

Save them for the Judgment Day.

Fast and free, follow me.

Time to make the sacrifice.

We rise or fall...

We've got
an intruder?

Virus intrusion in defensive barrier.
Infection spreading.

Conflict with antibodies.
Enemy probes have breached outer wall.

Reinforce allocations
to peripheral defenses.

Cut the infected sectors loose
and use them as decoys!

Virus analysis status.
Mutual destruction in progress.

Fourteen variants neutralized.
Two variants active. One variant unidentified.

What do you mean, unidentified?!
Get me verification!

Preliminary scans show it as inert
and unresponsive. It seems to be a decoy.

Change the version of the
antibodies and analyze it.

Don't let the intruder spot
our response protocols.

Intruder has begun to
gain control of proxies.

Unable to physically
disconnect circuits.

- Viruses that have gained access are propagating.
- Damn it... Who the hell are these cyber bandits?

#1 defense line
is 60% eliminated.

Request backup from
Poseidon's Decatoncheir!

Damn, too late!

Call an ambulance!
Helping the wounded takes top priority.

Get some ambulances
over here!

We're at the shopping mall in Niihama ward 3!
We're gonna need five!

It's the same, all right.
No doubt about it.

A suicide bomber, huh?

Yeah, using plastic explosives with
nails and screws shoved into it.

Crap! Indiscriminate terrorism where they
issue a warning? What's up with that?

Looks like what they were after was
getting the maximum fear out of it.

Maximum fear?

Yeah.

Just like the Individual Eleven,
they issue a warning ahead of time,

but then they end up attacking indiscriminately,
bombing after bombing.

It's clear that they're a particularly nasty type
that sees meaning in the terrorist act itself.

So you're saying that there's going to be
at least one more suicide bombing?

If we believe their warning,
then yeah.

Son of a bitch... What the hell
is happening to this country?

Is something starting
to go wrong somewhere?

Yeah, I guess.

At this rate, we're never gonna have
enough manpower to keep up.

Chief, we're never gonna be able
to catch up to the bombers like this.

Haven't you found any hints about
times or places in the warning?

At this point, all we have is an e-mail
sent in to the Prefectural Police that reads,

"We will set off five suicide bombings
inside Niihama today."

If it follows the same pattern as
the ones in Fukuoka last week,

the last blast also will most definitely
happen here in Niihama.

Hand over the scene to the
Prefectural Police...

...and do whatever it takes
to stop the next bombing.

And do what? Arrest everybody
in Niihama with a prosthetic body?

These may be acts of indiscriminate terrorism,
but there ought to be some sort of method to it.

Roger...

By the way, where's the Major
at a time like this?

She says she's conducting a
top-secret dive investigation.

Top-secret?

Leave this to the prefectural cops
and the old-timer. We're on the move.

Borma, if you find anything,
give us a holler.

What's the deal with this
"human bomb" crap, anyway?

This isn't some anarchist state
that's under foreign rule.

It just means that this country isn't so peaceful
that you can say stuff like that anymore.

Just like everybody else.

I'll admit that the refugee issue is a powder keg
that's probably gonna blow someday,

and the fact that the individualists are
resorting to such extreme measures...

...might be because the future
political situation here is so uncertain.

Oh, damn! It might be refugees!
I forgot about that!

Chief!

Do some digging on the suspects in both
last week's bombings in Fukuoka...

...and the suicide bombings
over the past few hours.

The bodies are damaged
beyond recognition.

About all we know is that they had relatively
high percentage of prosthetics,

No, that's not
what I mean.

They probably showed up on the IR-System
or security cameras while they were still alive.

I want you to pull all
those records for me.

Understood.
I'll see what I can do.

What's all this about?

Bombings like this aren't large-scale events
that are carried out by people...

...who are coerced into it or ordered
to do it by their superiors.

Suicide bombings are something that you resort
to when you've lost all hope in going on living.

Chief, are things okay
over there?

It looks like we're playing
catch-up and losing.

We'll catch the next one in time.
How are things going on your end?

The agent Tachikomas
are working out fine.

I don't really need to worry about
range-related signal loss.

We don't stand a chance of winning,
but it doesn't look like we'll lose, either.

Too true, too true!

Don't do anything flashy.

I'll try. I'll exercise
self-restraint, anyway.

Tachikoma! Is my
sensorium mask working?

I'm done with planning out
the shortest route!

Mask array
activation complete!

I've disengaged the emergency lock
on the security room, ma'am!

Intruder is utilizing 512 attack barrier variants.
Deploying in level 1.

Chimera virus still progressing.
Current rate of progression, 52%.

Defense line back up to 70%.
22% engaging intruder, 8% corroded.

403 are destruct/mobile types. 82 are chimera
components. 27 are explosives and decoys.

Of the enemy's 512 attack barrier variants,
7 have infiltrated up to level 2. Request decoys.

Activity level of the supplemental barrier
from Decatoncheir is maxing out at 97%.

- 108 of the enemy's 403 offensive barriers have been eliminated.
- We fought our way back, huh?

Functionality down 30%
due to enemy incursion.

Incursion line still undetermined. Security line,
40% eliminated. Attack barriers, 28% eliminated.

If you let A.I.s handle everything,
even cats and mice will outsmart you.

We've received a report
from the Cyber Police.

"People believed to be the suicide
bombers have been identified..."

"...on footage collected from
the locations of the incidents."

"See images
attached below."

I see...

Borma, how's your analysis
of the explosives coming?

Judging from the residue,
it looks like C-4 was used in all four.

Can you profile where they got it
or the manufacturing method?

I could tell you more if I could
get this stuff over to Spring-8.

I see.

Chief, I found some interesting data
from the shops that were blown up.

The first two were buildings used as salons
where individualists would meet,

and the next two also belonged to
groups that were making money...

...operating under the cover
of the Refugee Action Policy.

This restaurant has an
identical background, too.

Batou's take on this
might be on the money.

Was the Prefectural Police's Public Security
Bureau aware of that information?

There's no matching data
on the public net.

I see.

Contact the Prefectural Police
at once.

Have them send patrols to individualist meeting
places, mob-affiliated offices and restaurants...

If they see anyone around 20 years of age who
appears to have come from a refugee camp,

question them at once,
regardless of gender.

And tell them to exercise extreme caution around
anyone with a high prosthetics percentage!

Understood.

So, it really is
the refugees, huh?

I'm surprised.

You'd figure that it would be the citizens
who would have a problem with them...

That's exactly why individualist groups
like the Individual Eleven...

have come onto
the scene, right?

Maybe this is a backlash
against them.

Well, now that you mention it,
that's probably true,

so it's probably safe to assume that the
refugee powder keg has now been lit.

Killing yourself to try to make
a point... That's screwed up.

What were the intervals between the bombings,
going from the first to this fourth one?

The warning was issued
at noon exactly.

The first one happened
13 minutes later.

The second one happened
38 minutes after that.

For the third one, the interval increased a little,
happening about two hours later at 3:23.

The gap was even wider for the
fourth one, which was at 7:11.

It should be even wider
for this next one.

In terrorism by serial suicide bombings,
they're set off in order of willingness to die.

Let's hope that we have a little more time
before the next bombing.

Big Man, you know way too much
about this sort of scary shit.

Mind if I ask you
one more thing?

What?

If their objective is the
greatest amount of fear,

you'd think that it'd be more effective if they'd
carried them out without issuing a warning.

Why do you suppose
they issued a warning first?

Beats me. Maybe they wanted
somebody to know...

To know what their last act
on this earth was.

So, just as I expected...

We'd confirmed from Gohda's history
that he had a fat pipeline to Poseidon,

but I had no idea it was
manualized to this extent.

Is this a trap?
Or is it a...

Deploy root array along all three axes.
Have all attack barrier variants standing by.

Deployment complete,
ma'am!

Back me up with all your functions on full.
Watch out for chimera viruses.

Yes, ma'am!

Okay, do a sensorium projection
into the heaviest barrier.

Upload my Chroma file into the system
before their security shows up.

Go to high combat alert
using eight arrays.

All tracker mines equipped with
virus arrays have gone active!

We've taken over the cyberbrains of
12 people on the Security Alert Team.

Okay, do a final security check
of the perimeter.

The activity control viruses we uploaded into
45 security personnel are functioning!

All attack barrier variants active!
No conflicts detected!

Okay, we should have until somebody notices
the freeze we put on their security people.

You three monitor the 45 cyberbrains.
If we're discovered, notify me immediately.

Understood, ma'am!

Something wrong, sir?

No. It's nothing.

So, this is the Decatoncheir
I've heard so much about.

Is it running a simulation,
using a virtual personality...

...it constructed out of
vast amounts of data?

Who are you?

I'm Kazundo Gohda.

Among other things, I was once involved in
the molecular engineering robot project...

...at Greater Japan Research and Technology
that created radioactive fallout scrubbers.

Radioactive fallout scrubbers?
You must mean the Japanese Miracle.

As an engineer?

No, not at all. My brain
specializes in linguistic functions.

After two great wars, this country has risen to
prominence as an economic superpower again...

...thanks to the radioactivity scrubber technology
that I acted as a producer for.

At the time, I thought that I would rise
to the upper ranks of men, as well.

But just as this country was unable to garner a
prominent position in the international community,

I was unable to hold a significant
position within the system.

So are you saying that society didn't place any
concrete value on a man who was all talk?

I noticed a long, long time ago that our current
social system has a fatal structural flaw.

Which is?

The degradation of information, which by
all rights should not be degradable...

...and the illusory originality
known as "individuality"...

...trigger synchronization all too easily
within our current social system.

I call it, "acts of creation
by the name of consumption."

That's a conclusion that an individual who's
barricaded himself in the net would come up with.

A standalone complex,
you mean?

As luck would have it, I had a rather
strong tolerance for solitude.

However, it was quite some time before
I realized that the reason why...

...the system hadn't given my contributions
to society the recognition they deserved...

...was because the mental disposition
that I had been born with...

...had prevented them
from doing so.

In other words, you had
an inferiority complex.

No, the problem lay
in my very existence.

In a society, there exist personalities
that the system itself longs for.

People lust after them.

But in spite of that, they are so unaware
of that longing that it's funny.

And you're satisfied with
the man you are now?

More so than
I ever expected.

Were you aware of the fact that
the Ghost, whose existence...

...is paradoxically proven
by the physical body,

changes its appearance to match
that of the physical body?

Not really.

There was once a thinker who saw in revolutions
his own reason for being,

and tried to practice what
he preached, though.

You mean
Patrick Sylvestre?

I, too, idolized
his thinking once.

I looked up to my hero and truly
hoped to gain his charisma.

"I am a man who stands
above other men."

That notion has filled my head
for as long as I can remember.

In the end, my physical form stood
in my way, but fate was on my side.

Caught in an accident that left me
wandering between life and death,

my body underwent a transformation,
and my Ghost unexpectedly changed, as well.

Just as the author you mentioned
who stumbled upon a revolution did,

I, too, was given
a mission.

A mission to rebuild the system
known as the State.

Are you a state reform advocate?
Or a man with delusions of grandeur?

What this country is searching for
right now is the return...

...to a Shangri-la that is built entirely
on the backs of outsiders.

There was a period in this country's history when
this had come to pass, although by accident.

Even now, those without motive
long for it without realizing it.

All I am doing is giving them
what they want.

And making yourself a hero
in the process?

I am not interested
in such things now.

My role is to be that
hero's producer.

To create an activist who will represent the
unmotivated and carry out what they long for,

but are unable
to put a voice to.

Is this "Shangri-la as a result of consumption"
Japan as it was organized in the cold war?

So, who is this hero that
you say you're producing?

Is it the
Individual Eleven?

Oh, no!

Hey, what's the matter?

Hey, contact security.
We've got a cyber bandit incursion.

It took them longer
than I expected.

Major! They've spotted
our break-in!

Understood.

So, is the enemy of this "hero"
of yours the refugees?

You're directing the thinking of the citizens by
setting up refugees as an imaginary enemy.

Am I right?

Guiding their thinking is necessary.
As is bending the law in order to do that.

The ends justify
the means.

This is a theory that applies equally
to terrorists and democratic nations.

You're telling me that the consensus opinion
of our citizens is to get rid of the refugees?

Humility is the chief virtue
of our populace.

- Major!
- I heard you.

One last thing. What about
Public Security Section 9?

Section 9?
That's a good question.

The cycle of hatred based on absence
can't be stopped now.

I expect that they'll straddle the line between the
will of the people and their own sense of justice,

gnashing their teeth
all the while.

Major, you'll be in trouble if
you don't log out right now!

Out of time, huh?

We just arrived
at Gate 6!

I've had them stop
the trains,

but most have entered the station building
with all their passengers aboard.

You go that way!

Where's the perp?!

I've found her.
She's a refugee, all right.

Everybody stay put!

Okay, now... Put your hands
behind your head.

That's right.
We're not gonna hurt you.

Nice and slow.
Stay calm.

Move it!

Why'd you shoot?!

You dumbass!

This is the detonator!

Call an ambulance.

She's got a bomb in her stomach,
so keep her totally isolated.

Y-Yes, sir.

Where's the security department?!
I want the building checked top to bottom.

It looks like the cyber bandit used decoys
to infiltrate the building in person.

What were the security people doing?
Reactivate the SAT team!

Check for viruses.

Once the defense array is rebooted, have
the rest of the work done at Poseidon.

The bandit won't show up
here again.

So, you managed to stop
the last one, did you?

Just barely. This is gonna
have repercussions, though.

This is a declaration of war
from the refugees.

I hate to say it, Batou,
but your take on this is right.

The Individual Eleven are probably
individualists produced by Gohda.

Their objective is
a refugee uprising.

Their main goal is is probably to create
an autonomous region for them inside Japan.

We have zero in the wins
column so far.

The cycle of hatred that Gohda
has in mind is definitely starting.

Finding out a galaxy...

...of planets and stars within me...

Listening to each of them...

...singing the same silent melody...

I've never seen such beauty...

In possibility...

No speck of doubt or fear...

Wake up!

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

The beauty within the shell...

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

Right here within the shell...
