- Humanity did not survive by escaping to the moon.

The only thing up there is a server containing

a minuscule amount of genetic data.

[dramatic vocal music]

The humans that created us were eradicated by a disease

long before the invasion of Earth by aliens.

The multitude of androids left behind fought the aliens

to protect Earth not knowing humanity

had already gone extinct.

And so the military command, afraid of a decrease in morale

should the androids ever learn about the truth,

created the YoRHa project.

It was a project where the Counsel

of Humanity perpetuated the illusion

that mankind was still alive.

To do this,

they issued orders to new model androids.

We YoRHa soldiers exist only for the sake of this project.

That's right.

My true unit name is YoRHa Number 2, Type E.

I was created to destroy deserters and spies

within our ranks as well as those that discover

the truth behind this project.

An execution model.

Type S's tend to pick up on confidential information.

Especially 9S.

His memories are rewound after his execution.

Again and again.

And again.

Once 9S's memories have been rewound...

I kill him.

If this current operation is a success,

the battle against machine lifeforms will be over

and our mission will come to an end.

And then maybe 9S and I...

but took ten minutes longer than expected.

Pod, I need data on the next target.

- Affirmative.

[rumbling]

Report. Resistance at YoRHa's cooperative operation

has commenced.

[beeping]

- This is 3B,

captain of theta squadron.

There's too many machine lifeforms here

to hold the position.

- This is 2B from the guerrilla unit.

We'll head over to provide support.

- Roger that. Thank you.

[beeps]

- Now marking theta squadron's

combat area on the map.

- [exhales sharply] It must be worse than I thought.

I have to hurry.

[machine whirring]

[booming]

- This is 9S, coordinator of the Type S's.

To all YoRHa units in the city ruins,

the Goliath-class machine lifeforms invading

from the outskirts have now all been hacked.

To all YoRHa soldiers inside city limits,

keep annihilating the machine lifeforms.

Over and out.

- 9S.

[rumbling]

- There's no way.

A reverse hacking!

detected approaching from overhead.

- Prepare for combat, everyone!

[all clanging] - [gasps]

Only this many?

What is that sound?

[clicking]

[both gasping]

Oh, no.

- Alert. Imminent EMP attack as well as virus infection

has been confirmed.

Proposal.

[voice whirring down]

- Pod. Comm status?

- Due to the radio jamming from machine lifeforms,

we are still unable to communicate.

I have to regroup with 2B! [gasps]

11S!

Enemy EMP hit me directly.

I need to reboot Pod.

- [groans]

3B, are you all right?

A virus.

[whirring]

[both grunting]

My body...

- They planted a backdoor armed with a wide area virus

at the same time as that EMP.

That means 2B is...

Hey, Pod, can you isolate the origin point

of the radio jamming yet?

- Currently analyzing.

Report. Multiple signals of YoRHa soldiers detected

including 2B and Pod 042 in

the combat zone directly up ahead.

[gags] - [gasps]

- 2B, have you been injured?

- [groans]

[thuds] - I'll treat your wounds.

Hey, Pod, reboot 042.

- Affirmative.

[crackling]

- 9S.

[gasps]

You killed her.

Was that necessary? - Actually,

the contamination level for everyone besides us

is too high, so...

- What does that mean?

[all cackling]

What the--

[gasps] This is bad.

- Pod, now!

- Affirmative.

- That should finally deal with the radio jamming.

- Pod, contact command.

Report our status and request backup.

Hurry! - Connection lost.

No longer able to reach command.

- Dammit. They're still jamming.

- Negative.

Signal reception is clear.

Connection has been lost due

to server-side authentication failure.

- What do you mean by that?

- Currently no responses are detected from command

on any channel.

- The bunker has gone silent?

What is going on?

- Alert. Multiple hostile machine lifeforms detected

as well as enemy YoRHa soldiers.

- What the--

- Damn. There's still that many?

both: Proposal. Immediate retreat.

- It's no use. There are too many enemies.

- [gasps]

2B, the bunker has a backdoor in its system.

I should be able to upload a backup of all our personal

log data through it.

- Sounds good.

- Requesting cancellation

of area attack limitations.

- Data upload is at 30%.

- Also requesting cancellation of area attack limitations.

- [grunts]

- Limiters...

- Canceled.

[whirring]

[all shouting]

- 50% complete!

- Hurry!

- Over 70%!

[whirring]

[both grunting]

- Hey, Pod. I'm grateful.

- Almost. [grunts]

92%. Log data upload completed!

2B!

2B! - 9S!

[doors whooshing]

- What?

- There is command but nobody's here?

- 2B, this footage isn't what's happening on the surface.

- What is going on here?

Could it be the bunker is also-- - 2B! Over there!

- Commander!

- [groaning]

2B. 9S.

[groans]

[gasps]

What are you two doing here?

- Commander! - Are you all right?

And, uh, where'd all the operators go?

- What?

What are you talking about?

- The YoRHa soldiers on the surface have been taken over

by a virus.

We had to detonate our black boxes in order

to stop them.

- A virus? There's a virus?

I haven't received a single report about that.

- A message for all of our brave androids fighting.

Soon the long battle against the machine lifeforms

will be brought to a conclusio.

We humanity here on the moon are filled with elation

at just the thought of this.

- This information-- - Is camouflage.

All communication with the bunker has been severed.

Everything that you've been seeing and hearing

is just a product of being hacked.

- We've been hacked?

- The YoRHa soldiers received

a virus through data synching,

meaning the whole bunker could be contaminated.

- [squeaking] [both gasping]

- Bingo! I'm surprised you caught on!

- But why, operator 6O? - No, wait. That's the--

- That's right. We're machine lifeforms.

I speak to you now through the network in

the virus we launched.

- Is that possible? - No way.

Then that would mean--

- I must say you've entertained us for quite some time now.

However, all good things must come to an end.

[giggling]

The virus we planted functioned beyond our wildest expectation.

All of this had been planned and yet I doubt you knew

anything about it, commander.

- What do you mean?

- Where did you put the other YoRHa soldiers?

- You didn't notice?

They're all right there!

[all gasping]

[all cackling]

[all speaking at once]

- They're still conscious! - Stay focused, 2B!

- They're infected? [grunts]

All of them?

- What do we do?

- If we retreat, the bunker will--

- Why would you do such a thing?

- Why?

Because it's fun, of course!

Now, play with us some more!

- Proposal. - Is that--

- Immobilization of body frame.

Launching.

[booming]

[all cackling]

[all grunting]

- Commander!

- [grunting] [beeps]

[buzzing]

This is an emergency escape route.

It'll lead you to the hangar.

- Understood.

We can use flight units to get outta here.

- Commander?

- Out of curiosity,

why haven't you two been infected yet?

- The other day when I tried to synchronize data

for 2B and I,

I saw some noise in the bunker's server data.

And it worried me.

- So you put off data synchronization.

- Yes.

2B had gotten an infection through physical contact

but it was manageable and I treated it pretty quickly.

- I see. - Commander!

- [gasps]

- Miss 2B? It's me.

Operator...

- It's 6O!

- Will you--will you come together with me?

The commander--commander may look like

she's always put together,

but actually she's surprisingly slop--sloppy.

- 2B, 6O is too far gone. - [grunts]

- From operator 6O to miss-- miss--miss 2B!

It's time for your scheduled report!

Miss 2B, this is operator 6O to 2B, ah--

[slicing] [groans]

- Commander!

[whooshing]

- [gasps]

Forgive me!

Commander.

[metal clanging]

- No, 6O.

I'm sorry.

- Forgive me.

[alarm buzzing] [all gasping]

- [maniacal laughing]

It's useless to kill me!

Useless!

B--b--bunker now entering self destruct sequence.

- Commander, we gotta go!

[blaring continues]

Commander! - [grunts]

You're right. Let's keep moving.

- I really am thankful I was lucky enough

to be paired up with you.

- 2B, come one! - Miss 2B,

I hope there's a way we can still be together.

And l--l--let's do our best, miss 2B.

- Commander, hurry!

- [breathing heavily]

[grunts]

It's too late. I'm sorry.

[both gasping]

- Commander!

- Sadly, I, too, have synchronized my data

to the server.

- But 9S can hack your systems and--

- It's not a superficial infection.

[grunts]

I can tell that much.

- [grunts]

- Now listen closely.

You two are my last soldiers.

You have a duty to survive.

- Commander.

- Besides, I am still the commander for this base.

The very least I can do is go down with it.

Now get going!

[rumbling]

- 2B, it's collapsing! - [grunts]

Wait!

- Now go, 2B!
