[beeping]

- 9S really went through hell.

But we were able to send him back to the bunker,

so he'll be repaired in no time.

- Yes, thank you.

- All I did was deliver him to the retrieval point.

It's nothing to thank me for.

- But even so... - Be careful.

- [grunts]

- Remember, you're alone right now.

- Pod, patch me to the commander.

- I heard you destroyed a special machine life-form

code named Eve. Good work.

We just discovered that the majority

of their machine network system was being held together by

the life-form you destroyed.

Destruction of the network hub they utilized should weaken

the machine life-forms greatly.

- According to the remaining special unit Adam,

the aliens have already been wiped out.

- We'll look more into that matter before confirming it.

Until then, it's classified.

- I understand.

Oh, and-- - What is it?

- How's 9S?

- 9S will have to undergo a full data overhaul.

Once reformatted,

he'll be partnered up with you again.

I'll be authorizing 9S's Pod to accompany you

in the meantime.

- Understood.

- I know you're alone at the moment,

but I have another mission for you.

With the destruction of their key unit Eve,

we've already begun to see numerous machine

life-forms being severed from their network.

That being said,

their constructing of a new network

is all but confirmed at this point.

We've deduced the location where

their communications are concentrated.

It is highly likely that the other key unit, Adam,

is located there as well.

Your mission, 2B, is to destroy Adam.

You're no longer...

[chair drags across floor] [gasps]

- E...

...ve.

- [gasps]

[chair scrapes and clatters]

[motors whirring]

...V-Ve.

E-Eve.

[metal clanging]

both: Alert.

both: Alert.

[beeping]

- One at a time.

Now, what is it?

- Alert: multiple machine

life-form signals confirmed up ahead.

- Don't worry. I'm well aware.

[bubbling]

- No hostility detected amongst surrounding machine life-forms.

all: God. God. God. God. God.

Welcome his grace. Welcome his grace.

Welcome his grace. Welcome his grace.

Welcome his grace. Welcome his grace...

- There's too many.

- Welcome. - [gasps]

- To the domain of god.

all: Welcome to the domain of god.

We have realized the existence of a higher being called god.

In the name of god,

I echo his words of wisdom

that all existence must be equal.

all: Must be equal.

- What are these things talking about?

- No need to worry.

His grace seeks to sign a peace treaty with you all,

ending our fighting.

- What?

A peace treaty?

His grace?

Adam?

- Alert: possible enemy trap.

- Down this corridor, if you wish to welcome peace.

- [grunts]

[motors whirring]

- Once I accepted god into my heart,

I was filled with bliss and serenity.

- When we were lost,

his grace lit the path forward for us.

- May hardship and conflict be forever banished

from this world we live in.

- Report: hypothesis that the machine life-forms

in this area are of a commune different

from Pascal's community.

- A different commune?

- A group that adheres to certain beliefs,

rules, and traditions.

Record: diversity of machine life-forms.

[alert buzzing]

- You're talking a lot today, Pod.

- Affirmative. We are support units, after all.

We converse whenever necessary.

- Proposal: 2B initiates conversation more often.

- Denied.

[gasps]

- Continue on up ahead and you will arrive

at the sanctum of his grace.

[buzzing]

- It's not Adam.

[gasps]

- Eve.

Why did you...

- Report: no signs of activity

from the machine life-form ahead of us.

- Does that mean it's...

[metal clanging]

[gasps]

- [snarling]

- His wondrous grace has become a god.

all: Has become a god. - [gasps]

- His wondrous grace has become a god.

all: Has become a god.

- His wondrous grace has become a god.

all: Has become a god.

- His wondrous grace has become a god.

all: Has become a god.

- All of you as well shall serve the god.

all: Serve the god.

- We as his followers will serve the god.

- All of you as well shall serve the god.

all: Serve the god.

- All of you as well shall serve the god.

all: We'll all die together as one and become like Eve.

- [gasps]

[all speaking Japanese]

[rapid gunfire]

[grunts]

[shouts]

They're endless.

Both: Proposal: retreat. - No, Pod.

Patch me through to the bunker.

- Affirmative.

- Bunker, this is 2B.

We've had a run-in with a horde of machine life-forms

in an abandoned factory.

We need an immediate route.

- [radio signal buzzing]

- Communications here are unstable.

- Then loop a distress signal.

- Affirmative.

- [grunts]

Now, Pod!

both: Affirmative.

[footsteps pounding]

[gasps]

[metal clanging]

- Report: multiple hostile machine life-forms

have been detected on the retreat route.

- Report: current retreat success rate,

approximately 30%.

Proposal: reconsideration of retreat route.

- Easy for you to say.

If only...

[elevator clangs]

[alert buzzing]

[grunts]

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, 2B!

It's me, 9S! [grunts]

I'm controlling this machine life-form that I hacked into

from the bunker!

- 9S?

- I'm going to break into the factory systems,

and then I'll secure a route to get you guys outta there.

Get ready to follow my lead.

- Understood.

- In any case, that was a close one, 2B.

I guess you need me by your side after all.

You know, hacking into a machine life-form

like this with such an unstable connection

requires delicate operation, even for us type S units.

I'm not saying I'm the only one who could do it, but--

hold on! Wait for me, 2B!

- You as well must die.

- This is a really strange situation.

What prompted all of this to begin with?

- I don't know.

I came here under the orders

to destroy the special unit Adam.

They all just went berserk.

- Destroy?

They wanted you to take it on all by yourself?

Even for you, that's a reckless mission.

- What choice do we have but to follow orders?

Since Adam wasn't here,

this case needs to be reported to the bunker.

They'll want to investigate this.

- Well, if they do want us to investigate this later,

I'll be sure to accompany you

to raise the mission success rate.

- Roger that.

- Alert: massive hostile machine life-form detected.

- [gasps]

Watch out! - [grunts]

[shouts]

- 9S!

[shouts]

- Analysis: sizable energy

and physical defense shields detected over enemy unit.

Both long and close-range attacks will prove

to be ineffective.

- Large energy supply detected within this factory.

Proposal: energy source should be destroyed at once.

- 2B, it's all right!

I'm going to hack in and shut off the power

to the factory.

I need you to buy me a little time.

- Roger that!

- Factory system at 50% control.

60%.

- [grunts] - 70%.

80%. Almost there.

90%. 97. 98. 99.

2B, I'll shut down the electrical suppl--

- 9S.

- Report: Enemy shield deactivation confirmed.

- [grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

- Report: number of hostile machine

life-form responses sharply increasing.

- [gasps]

- Commander!

- Oh, 9S. What is it now?

- 2B is surrounded by machine life-forms in the factory.

She needs backup!

- Is that so?

Hmm.

- Commander!

- Mobilize all rescue units near 2B's location.

This is an emergen-- [alarms blaring]

[both gasping]

- Code F2. Sensing an anomaly...

- Machine life-forms lying dormant

in various locations have awakened.

- We have shifted to alert level four.

- Can you send rescue unit signals for 2B?

- The anomaly is causing too much interference.

- We're unable to issue the rescue signal.

- We cannot do it because this area has exhibited

a special type of radio jamming.

- 2B.

- Proposal: cancel the attack area limiter

for this unit in order to fight back.

- This unit also requests the same cancellation.

- That limiter cancellation

could end up damaging your circuits.

- Prediction: 76% chance of this squad being annihilated

by adhering to status quo.

- 80%.

- 85%.

- 87%.

- 89%.

- 90%.

- All right, then.

Cancel limiters.

both: Affirmative.

[gasps] Pod!

- Report: 1,800 seconds required for reactivation.

- Proposal: re--re--retreat. - [gasps]

[gasping]

Wait a minute.

They missed?

- We will die and become as Eve.

- Let us become Eve together.

- Farewell. Farewell. - Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

- [gasps]

[buzzing]

- Eve.

Finally.

I finally understand now.

Without you here, I'm truly alone.

I should have played with you more.

I'm sorry.

[buzzing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Jackass.

Are there any readings on the radars we set up?

- About that.

Hostile machine life-form signals

are increasing all over the city ruins.

- So suddenly?

There seem to be a lot.

- Your guess is as good as mine.

It's an abnormal situation no matter how you look at it.

I don't know what could have caused this.

[distant booming] [both gasping]

- Confirmed explosion near the resistance camp in

the city ruins.

Detecting malfunction in...

- Two patrol units dispatched in B district have disappeared.

[both speaking at once]

- YoRHa soldiers, prepare to deploy!

- [gasps]

In that direction...

[beeping]

- This--resistance camp.

If you hear this...

'Questing backup!

- [gasps] It's Lily!

- Huh? If I'm not mistaken, you're--

- That's right.

I am the resistance's maintenance unit,

the redhead twin android Popola.

I take it you're 9S of the YoRHa soldiers?

- Yes! YoRHa number nine, type S,

A.K.A. 9S,

The android that fights for humanity,

reporting for duty!

By the way, Popola, what exactly are you doing?

- I'd like to share some info with you about those special

machine life-form units.

9S, do you have some time?

- Sharing information is vital! Let's do it!

- We can start by having you relay information about

the special unit that you saw back in the field.

- Roger that!

So I just need to draw what I saw on this chalkboard?

- You catch on quickly, 9S.

- Let's see.

The special unit I saw was a mid-sized four-legged

machine life-form.

It appeared to be traveling with a herd of deer in a forest.

It was almost as if it were acting as a deer itself.

Then after I recorded its data, I destroyed it!

- I see.

What an interesting unit.

- Popola, what info do you have about special units?

- There are two special units that I recall having seen.

One of them stood out to me.

It was different from other normal ones I'd encountered.

It appeared to be trying to mimic an ancient life-form.

It stood up on its hind legs firing laser beams

from its mouth like this.

- Wow, that sounds ominous.

Certainly intriguing behavior.

What kind of unit was the other one?

- The other one also greatly differed

from machine life-forms I'd seen before.

I remember it attacking me in the desert area.

It looked like a tank but had hideous decorations.

Though it was a machine,

you could feel the blood lust it had for androids.

- I'm surprised you survived! In any case,

why did a maintenance android like yourself have

to head out into the dangerous desert area?

- I went out there because I wanted to pick a desert rose.

- To pick a desert rose?

Is that material for something,

or was another dangerous job shoved

at you so you had to?

- Neither.

We went to go pick it on our own accord.

We plan on using it for-- - Hey!

The booze we made from the desert rose is ready!

Forget about this machine talk. Let's have a drink!

- You must be-- - That's right.

I'm the resistance's other maintenance unit,

the redhead twin android Devola.

9S, was it?

You can have a drink, right?

- Sorry, I'm really not supposed to drink on duty.

all: Cheers!

- Whew! This feels great in my non-existent internal organs!

That reminds me,

someone was saying the other day that some folks add "nyu"

to the ends of sentences when they're drunk.

Ain't that a hoot?

- That's very cute indeed.

And sounds like it'd be popular.

- Hey, don't go quiet on me!

Man, he's already asleep.

What a hopeless case.

Nyu! [chuckles]

Oh, uh...

both: Schlink!

We'll have to handle them by ourselves!

- Quick, 9S, call for backup!

Wait, he's asleep.

9S, wake up!

- [shouting] - [groaning]

2B, you finally called me Nines.

Oh, I'm so happy I feel like I could cry right now!

- Wake up! - Please get up.

- [gasps]

I fell asleep!

This situation...

What I can do for them right now is cheer them on!

Go for it and do your best!

Go Devola!

Go for it and do your best!

Go Popola!

Defeat the machine life-forms and emerge victorious!

Here and there and here and there and there!

- 9S, please! We can't hold out much longer!

- 9S, we're-- we're done for!

- Maybe this isn't the time to be cheering.

- Yeah, well, it's too late to help now, you dunce!
