Can't you see?

Fear Whispers

Have you seen Kane?

I've been looking for him, but he's not in his room either.

This time for sure, I'm going to make him admit my milk pudding is awesome!

Canal?

Um, Kane said he's going to order a new cape and went down to the planet.

What? No way!

Kane...

Hey, pretty boy, have you picked a place to have fun yet?

Jerk...

Hey, you two over there!

Hey, what are you looking at?

You got a problem?

If you don't even have the guts to pick a fight, quit looking at me funny!

And you're wearing this stupid cape...

You think it looks cool or something?

I'd advise you lay off...

You badmouth his cape...

...and you can expect to get split in half from head to toe.

S-Say what?

What'd you say you bastard?!

Atlas!

Atlas? Atlas McMahon?

Long time no see, Kane Blueriver.

Wow! This is an awfully lucrative job!

2,000 credits for providing security to a space matsutake mushroom exhibit market?!

Hey, we can take this, right?

Exceptional bounties lead to tomorrow's happiness!

Hey, Canal, are you listening?

Jeez, I guess not!

I'm accepting the 2,000 credit job for space matsutake mushroom security, okay?

Send contract acceptance code.

Wait! Wait! Wait a minute!

Kane's not back yet!

Then get him back here!

If we don't hurry, another Trouble Contractor will take the job.

There are plenty of other good jobs!

I said, wait!

Just wait until Kane comes back!

Then you can take whatever job you want...

...whether it's for space matsutake mushrooms or space nameko or even maitake!

Okay! All right!

You're acting weird.

Am I?

How long has it been?

It's been three years since that job.

Atlas!

D-Damn!

My scar aches every time I remember that.

So, how have you been?

You disappeared after that.

That was just my first stroke of bad luck.

After I healed, I started working as a Trouble Contractor again,

but I began screwing up one job after another.

No way! You used to be the best Trouble Contractor.

That's right.

Since then, I've become a man more suited to drinking my life away here.

I can't believe it.

You were the one that all of us rookie Trouble Contractors looked up to.

I felt so proud when you, the Atlas, picked me to be your partner.

But now, the best I can do is scare off punks in a crummy bar.

But I'm putting that mess behind me now!

That plant is showing up again after three long years.

Is the auto-surfacing system still active?

That's right! I'm going to redo that job,

and start over as a Trouble Contractor.

I-I'm sorry.

Watch it!

But you know, some kind of fate has brought us together at this moment.

How about it? Care to come along?

Well...

It'd be my pleasure.

All right!

To drive away any bad luck!

Your little ship is as cramped as ever.

Yeah, but there's still no other ship that...

...can beat her mobility in a high-pressure atmosphere.

Wait, Kane, what's going on?

What? An abandoned plant?

What about it?

Like I said, that doesn't...

I lost him! Damn that nitwit!

The abandoned plant... from three years ago...

I'm going to take care of that stinking plant, and start over.

D-Damn...

Stay calm! I'll get you out of here!

What? You're not planning to leave before finishing the job, are you?

We don't have a choice!

You can't go any further with your arm like that. Besides...

Don't be stupid!

A Trouble Contractor carries out any assignment he accepts, at all costs!

You're the one who's being stupid!

We'd die!

He's the one that taught me the mindset of a Trouble Contractor.

What happened to him?

There you are! There you are!

That's the second planet of the Mel System, and the location of the abandoned plant...

...that we fled from three years ago.

With a highly acidic ocean and atmosphere, this planet is always blanketed with storms.

The plant functions autonomously in this highly acidic ocean,

and normally, it collects the rare chemical elements that are dissolved in the ocean.

But every two years,

it surfaces in order to launch the rare elements it's collected into outer space.

Though, it's lost its ability to launch.

Job description confirmed.

Retrieve the rare chemical elements.

Execute the contract?

Okay! No guarantee we'll come back alive, I guess?

Yeah, the plant's past its service life already.

Anything can happen at anytime.

Should we check the clauses regarding breach of contract too?

Don't be stupid!

If I don't finish this job, there's no tomorrow for me.

Here we go.

Now, let's say hello again to the 300 degrees centigrade demon...

...with an atmospheric pressure of 200!

We've got no time to play around! We're going straight in!

Look for the plant's signal.

Roger!

What's wrong? Where's the plant?

Kane, have you located the plant yet?

There's no reading at the point where it's supposed to be.

This is even worse than the last time.

Wait! I've got it!

Forward, on the port side!

All right!

That's it! Found you!

All right, take it slow.

Here's to our reunion!

Why the heck did Kane have to come to a place like this?

It looks like he went to the abandoned plant on that gas planet.

Abandoned plant?

Searching data.

According to the data,

it's an MS manufactured Type FW-5, which was scrapped 5 years ago.

It functioned normally for seven years after it was installed,

then was scrapped due to a fatal malfunction.

Just what kind of business does Kane have there?

Looks like the basic functions are still active.

This sucker is built pretty well.

Hey, you don't want to take off that heat-resistant suit.

How can I do a job with this thing on?

A Trouble Contractor has got to feel the danger with his skin!

You're the same as ever.

Looks like the security is still active, too!

There's such a thing as building something too well!

You made this hole three years ago.

It saves us some trouble, but the hard part is still ahead of us.

Yeah.

This way!

The plant's basic functions are currently normal, for the most part.

The launch system for the rare chemical elements is completely inactive.

The plant will re-submerge in approximately forty minutes.

W-What was that just now?

There's been an explosion near the element collector.

W-What did you say?!

The crisis level is rising.

Kane, it is dangerous!

Currently, the launch system is overloaded...

...with the elements that have been collected in the last 3 years!

Because of this, the storage tanks are over their limits...

...and exploding one after another!

Crisis level: red!

I recommend that you immediately evacuate the plant! There is no time!

Kane, can you hear me?

The corridor!

We've lost our way out.

It seems their exit has been blocked.

What?!

T-Then, what should they do?!

That's what I'm computing right now.

No use. We can't go this way.

At any rate, it's dangerous to stay here.

Let's move on, Atlas!

Right...

H-Hey, will they be okay?

Won't it be bad if they don't get out of there soon?

Kane...

Damn! There has to be a way out of this!

Well, there's just one way.

First, we cut off the flow of rare elements to the tanks,

then we re-route the overflow to the buoyancy tank.

The rare elements are lightweight gases.

They'll be plenty buoyant.

So we'll escape, plant and all!

Yes, but if we screw up, we won't have time to run.

Maybe we should think of another way.

Kane, I want you to know...

...the real reason I came back to this place from 3 years ago.

Atlas...

I've been screwing up jobs for three years because I've been afraid.

Afraid?

Doing dangerous jobs had become terrifying.

Atlas...

In order to conquer that fear,

I came back to the place it started.

Please, let me do this!

From where I'm standing now,

I can really understand what you're feeling.

Let's do it, Atlas!

There it is!

Kane, I'm sending you an escape route from where you are.

Just follow it.

Please, let it reach Kane.

No! I'm not running away!

Instead, find me a route to the buoyancy tank generator.

Kane!

I knew you guys would follow me here.

Kane, what do you think you're doing?

Just get me the route!

O-Okay!

It looks like the main generator itself is fine.

But will we be able to reactivate it?

We've got to do this!

All right, I'll reverse the flow of the rare elements.

Right, I'm counting on you!

Oh, no!

At this rate, they'll be submerged in the acid ocean with the plant!

Kane, hurry!

That just leaves the final valve!

Damn!

Okay! The valve work is done. Now...

Damn! How am I going to work like this?

All right! Good work, Kane!

Now, we just have to push all the accumulated gas in the buffer tanks...

...into the buoyancy tank with the turbo pump generator.

The problem is getting the timing right in activating the generator.

It has to be when the pressure pulse peaks.

Even just a little too soon,

and the gas pressure won't be able to overwhelm the tank's internal pressure.

Too late and it's "boom." The end.

Didn't I come all this way exactly so I could overcome this?!

Atlas!

Stay back, Kane! This is my job!

That's right. It's your job.

Yeah!

A Trouble Contractor carries out his assignment to the end!

Now!

Atlas!

The plant is rising into the upper atmosphere.

Kane!

Well, I...

Kane, we lost a job because of you, you know!

I'm sorry.

You did well.

Huh? Yeah...

So, have you overcome it now?

I guess you see right through me.

I've known you for a long time, after all.

Save that kind of talk for later.

Kane?
