Uh, and so,

as you can see, I'll be joining your team!

I can't wait! Let's get started.

Impossible.

Uh, what? How come?

No way! I had my heart set and I've decided.

Even if you wanna stay, it's just not as simple as you think it is.

You're a civilian.

As agents of the Joint Army, we can't have you tagging along.

You're not getting rid of me that easily.

Uh...

Because, you know. I just want to accompany this guy.

No! Stop that!

- Jack, I can't believe you! - What is it now?

The girl wants to come along with us.

Rhys, nothing is going on between us. What's the harm?

I mean, we will need someone who's familiar with the Moon to help us

and be our guide, won't we?

- Yes, I slept fine. - Uh, are you kidding?

Don't ask things in such a weird way. People might get the wrong idea.

I'm not sure that we're ready.

Ever since this video from Goddard came out,

a ton of info started being posted.

Most of it's been disinformation and decoys,

except for this one.

- The real one? - No question.

I don't know why he let himself be seen in Agarum,

but we've located his hideout.

What the hell happened to you?

I'll have to ask you next time, Phil.

All this information has been shared with Rhys and the Third HQ in advance.

General Pitter has proposed we should try combining forces

with the special unit that is currently stationed in Agarum.

We'll receive more details once we're on site.

It's easier to move when we're on our own.

I was hoping for that myself,

but Deputy Commander Clemenza is in Agarum.

Who's that?

The sarcastic man at the briefing.

So this means that special unit has Clemenza's support.

Anyway, we should hurry.

Yeah, we can't repeat all the mistakes that we made before at Copernicus.

- Mm. - Mm.

Inanna? What's wrong?

Inanna?!

This is the VC3 Unit calling for the Third Headquarters.

This is the VC3 unit. Third Headquarters, please respond.

Osma, how is she?

Inanna, you think she's gonna be okay?

Osma?

It isn't completely incurable.

But I don't have the facilities or the drugs to help her.

Although, this is a disease from the Moon that I've only read about on paper.

Unless we can get her to a specialized local facility

or a doctor who's been here a long time, I can't be sure.

That can't be!

Inanna!

Agarum is pretty far away from here, though.

We need another plan.

We don't know if her body's going to hold up until we get there.

And also, we can't be sure that there's a doctor who can diagnose her.

It's no good. I can't get through.

Damn it! What can...

What can we do?

I know...

I know someone.

Someone who knows this disease very well.

Wait, really? Would you bring us to them?

I can, but Agarum is in the opposite direction of them.

We would need to head to Posidonius.

We can't, uh, do that.

Stop moving! You can't push yourself right now.

We're almost done searching. All that's left lies to the east of here.

Time is... running out.

Let's keep moving to Agarum.

We have a mission.

Let's not let our emotions distract us from our duty.

If we do that, we'll regret it.

Inanna!

Inanna!

Mm.

- So, what's the problem? - Huh?

Nothing can be more important than helping out a friend.

We agree? So let's prepare to move.

Where was it again? Posidonius?

Hm.

- Yeah. - Hm.

And you know, when it comes to all the combat stuff,

I could be trying harder.

All right. Let's get moving!

I was just going to leave Inanna to her fate and head for Agarum.

Do you think that I'm a horrible person?

Well, I might... ...if I didn't know that you were a soldier.

What's that mean?

You know what? I thought that Jack would've been in lockstep with you.

Uh...

I mean it was just a year ago both of you...

You had some hatred in your bones that you couldn't seem to shake.

It seemed like the two of you would just do anything

to take your revenge on Bob Skylum.

It's really a relief to be honest.

All in all, maybe he's still the same inside.

Yeah, I guess.

He was always like that.

TWO DAYS LATER

POSIDONIUS

So, just the four of us will go then?

Does that sound good?

No, it doesn't!

Jack, hurry it up if you don't wanna be left behind.

Left behind what?

Aren't we still somewhere in the distribution center?

TWO HOURS EARLIER

Hm, that and that.

- And also some daikon. - Got it.

Uh, I'm sorry. One more carrot, please.

Sure thing.

Hey, uh, Mary, are you sure we really need all this stuff?

We have the money, but still.

It's okay, just leave it to me. Yeah?

And the guy I'm taking you to is so remote that the hardest part is about to begin.

Well, if Jack is volunteering to carry most of the luggage,

then I'll have it pretty easy.

Thank you.

- Huh? - You can take these too, can't you?

Hey!

Still, though, I never thought Moon girls would be so forward.

She's so honest about her feelings.

If I were Jack, I definitely would have fallen for her already.

He can really be a hopeless romantic in the worst way.

Really? Has she expressed romantic feelings for Jack?

You are such a square, Osma.

Listen, dude. Mary has some sort of interest in Jack. We know that.

But as for what she finds interesting about him,

that remains a mystery among many.

I... I think I'm following. Although I'm not sure I understand.

Regardless, I'm worried about Inanna. I think I should go after them.

Thinking about it, Inanna can't even move, so I really should be with them!

She just can't be honest with herself.

Stands to reason. Excluding Inanna, they are all prisoners.

Hey, do you really think I'm that hard to trust?

Uh, no.

That's not it. I'm glad that you're here.

But there are some rules.

Those three are completely forbidden from leaving the squad on their own.

I see.

Hey, Jack. I won't tell anyone, but are those bags too heavy for you?

Uh, uh...

Oh, whoa, whoa. Hey, take it easy, okay?

Oh, man.

So jealous.

11 YEARS EARLIER

Rhys, run away! Hurry!

Oh, you're not going anywhere, Miss Mayor's daughter.

These brats could walk up outta here.

So why don't you be good and come in with us nice and quiet?

Uh-huh.

You wanna get mad?

Then get mad at this world that Sapientia created.

Just like we are.

Leave Rhys alone!

Hm.

- How is this brat still able to move? - Looks like he wants to die.

Leave him alone!

- Shit-ass! - Get outta here, punk!

Jack!

You think you're hot shit, huh?

You're nothing!

What do you think you're doing to young Jack?!

Huh?

Harry?

Argh! Hooligans!

Don't think you'll be leaving in one piece.

Not after harming young Jack!

You nitwit! You listening? Huh?!

Jack! Jack!

What were you thinking? Jack, how could you do something so reckless?

Those guys were about to kill you!

Hm. Oh, come on, Rhys. Why are you mad?

Doing something to help a friend. Nothing in the world is more important.

Huh?

Hm. Hm.

You put up this tough guy front.

Hm. Stupid!

What the heck?

Why are you yelling at me?

In the end, he really hasn't changed at all.

Company.

And it's not just one.

Hey, it's been a while!

Kevin!

Mary? Damn.

Reporting in.

- This is so cute! - Whoa, look at this!

- Oh my God! Mine! - Let me see.

- Let me have that. - No, I called it!

How come a man like you wants a doll anyway?

No, let go!

- Is that what people call candy? - Yeah, something like that.

Her symptoms have gone down a bit. She's doing just fine now.

Thank goodness! Did you hear that, Inanna?

Mm. Mm.

Inanna!

Your face is looking so much better.

Rhys.

Sorry I slowed us all down.

I put the entire mission in jeopardy.

Really, I'm so, so sorry.

Don't worry about it. It's okay.

Kidding me?

I see you after this long and you've got me playing with fire.

Earth people, right? These guys.

Sorry about that. You were the person I could count on the most.

I suppose they did bring some good essential supplies for us though.

Given that, I guess we're even.

So, then, are you still trying to find him?

Philiosio.

Uh...

Mm-hmm.

Gotcha.

You really never change.

Hey, one more thing.

That disease Inanna had was something unnatural.

I'm not sure what it was.

Uh...

I took these from her suit's life support system. EKG waveforms.

Judging from these readings,

it's safe to say she was infected three days ago.

And then symptoms began appearing two days ago.

Natural bacteria has nowhere near that level of progression speed.

That means she...

I think it's a pretty safe bet that somebody injected her artificially.

It's not something you'd be likely to pick up

unless you live doubting people the way I do.

Whoever could be the one behind this, just

be careful.

Hey, you're supposed to be recovering. You need to be resting.

Nope. If we stick around much longer, it might cause you some trouble.

We're gonna be okay.

You've done a lot for us, doctor. I can't thank you enough.

Yes, Doctor Kevin. Thank you for your help.

Mm.

Ugh! I really despise you Earth people coming around here, you know?

Never come back here.

I hope you find him.

That asshole.

SEA OF CRISES

AGARUM CITY

It happened like Whiz said it would.

I never imagined Sapientia outwitting us like this.

Hey, Rhys.

Mm.

I'm sorry. I know that I really put you in a tight spot back there.

Don't apologize for that.

I am very used to that with you.

Oh.

- Uh, Jack? - Mm?

There was one thing. It was important.

I've decided...

I think that from now on,

I should start to be a little more honest about my feelings with people.

Gotcha.

At least we've gained some time back.

Even though it was a mole hunt. Sapientia's approach can be ruthless.

I hope he's gonna be okay.

So this is the price we have to pay for evolution.

Or are we all being tested?

What do you think, Lunar King Wise?
