Original subtitles

Sorry. This was the only place I could find for us.

As long as you're here, that's enough for me.

I will protect you for the rest of your life.

And I will protect you, too, for the rest of your life.

My final song will be this hit from many years ago.

AS YOU LIKE MY PLEASURE

I was born aiming for the light

Bound by a bond, a thin string

From the fortune of awakening for a mission

Spinning many proud memories

Into this world, for your sake

Gratitude and a bouquet filled with the universe

Destiny, even fate, please let them shine

The joy of being able to protect those having fun and smiling

I admire, I am admiring

I can become stronger

I want even my crying voice to be heard like a song

To these dazzling times

I'd like you to entrust tears too

"EPISODE 5" "SING MY PLEASURE - TO MAKE YOU SMILE"

Thank you for your kind attention!

Hey, you're in a groove.

Compared to last week, your audience has grown.

You don't look too happy.

Of course I am happy.

As this means I am getting closer to the Main Stage.

Navi, has there been any external access?

Such as data of unknown origin, or viruses?

That again?

You're being too paranoid.

But--

It's so squeaky-clean in here, no virus could--

Ever sneak its way in?

Well, I guess you get an 'A' for effort!

Coming... I am coming...

I am coming...

Coming to you here.

Matsumoto... is that you?

Ah? Now that's not the response I was expecting!

Now that AI technology's finally caught up,

I'm unveiling my official body to you!

Go on, don't be shy-- shower me with compliments!

Mmm... mmm...

Warping... you're warping me...

That is how you greet me after five years have gone by?

Precisely speaking, it's five years, one month--

...and nine days.

Look.

Yes, ma'am.

The progress of the last five years has seemed rapid to me.

That radio tower, the Arayashiki...

...you told me that its height was a barometer for AI evolution, did you not?

There are no signs of any halt in construction.

That's a surprise to me, as well.

We seem to have taken quite a different path than we did in the official history.

Are we to blame for that?

Can't say we didn't play a part in it.

Since the only difference between

the official and revised histories is our existence.

That said...

If I've awakened at this time,

it means that right now is a turning point in history.

It can still be undone.

Otherwise, I...

...would not be able to fulfill my mission.

What should I do?

Someone's docile today! A change of heart, perhaps?

In the last five years, my audience has grown.

I believe this is due to the Singularity Project providing a boost to my mission,

to make everyone happy with my singing.

Moreover...

Moreover, if war breaks out in the future,

I could never face them, after they devoted their lives to their missions.

Therefore, I wish to see this project through.

I heartily approve of your positive attitude!

Now I won't have to agonize over your reckless behavior.

Where are we going this time?

To turn back the hands of time.

We've got to stop this out-of-control AI evolution.

You have surpassed the speed limit.

We've arrived at our destination.

All right, go nuts with that brute strength! War Machine Diva!

Be quiet.

I'll take the wheel now.

Oh... oh!

Just kidding.

Man, that's what you call a joyride!

You can fly?

Hey, a cube that can't fly is just a cube.

You may drive again now.

Huh? Oh...

Sorry for the commotion. Dr. Tatsuya Saeki, I presume?

Who are you?

Can we cut right to the chase?

Would you mind telling us about the AI facility

that you were involved in building?

As a token of gratitude, perhaps?

Not that we know who you were scuffling with just now...

But--

Fine.

You did save my life, after all.

And besides, it's coming into view.

That's it.

You've heard about the Sunrise Incident from five years ago?

Yes.

Estella's act of devotion...

...her heroic actions were lauded by one and all.

In the eyes of the world, she was everything that an AI should be.

The "most grievously defective AI in official history" herself?

That's some flip-flop!

And that island was created as a result of that.

With AIs working non-stop to produce AI components and circuits,

it's the world's first unmanned offshore plant, run by AIs.

Commonly known as the Metal Float.

I have never seen it with my own eyes before.

It's most likely the reason why I was awakened this time.

In the official history, it wasn't built until about 20 years from now.

That island's overkill for this era.

Our objective this time around is to shut down that island.

How much human suffering will that incur?

The indirect impact will be immeasurable.

But if we do nothing,

humans will be annihilated by the AIs in the coming future.

Feeling intimidated?

No.

Just as I thought, you're Diva of NiaLand.

No, I am not.

There is no mistaking that voice.

Was that you on the Sunrise five years ago?

Diva! Please restrain that man!

This isn't like the Assemblyman Aikawa or Yuzuka situations.

He will surely compromise the project!

I...

Hey!

It is true that I was on board the Sunrise five years ago.

In order to prevent it from crashing.

Diva!

It was all for the sake of preventing conflict between humans and AIs.

Who in the world are you two?

Are you planning to do something to that island?

We are going to shut it down.

Like you said, Professor, that island is more than this era can handle.

Please tell us, where did you hear about us?

From Toak. The people who attacked me.

Toak? Those people?

Come with me, will you? I have something to show you.

Welcome, and thank you for coming.

My name is Grace.

I see, so that's the story, eh?

What is this?

A storage device that I just completed recently.

It contains a program that will shut down the island completely.

Will you take this, and infiltrate the Metal Float with me?

What?

If you'll excuse me for intruding...

Well, this is superb work!

Even I couldn't have just slapped it together just like that.

What is the meaning of this?

I want to shut down that island, too.

To accomplish that, I'd like to enlist your aid.

As you're the ones who thwarted that project five years ago.

Project. Not to mention, you knew all about us.

Is that what you're telling us, then?

That's right.

I was a member of Toak.

Of course, by then I'd already parted ways with them.

Seems like they desperately want this program.

That's why I was being pursued.

Why did you join Toak, Professor?

I wanted to shut down that island.

If AI evolution goes too far, it can only lead to tragedy.

But Toak's scorched-earth policy is just too simplistic.

Most of all, I feel sorry for that island.

The only option is to put it to sleep.

Until the day that humankind can catch up to it.

Bravo! Horrorshow! You take the cake! That is a commendable decision!

However, we cannot take you with us.

What? But why? I--

Because it will be dangerous, and you'll only hinder us.

That island is standalone.

We'll need a direct connection to the main terminal to run that program.

Am I right?

That's right.

Meaning we might have to resort to brute force on the island.

In which case there will be no guarantee that we can protect you. That's it, Q.E.D.

I can take care of myself--

Dr. Saeki.

Please do as we ask.

I want to protect everyone's smile...

I want to protect your smile as well.

Because you love AIs.

Diva... it was you who destroyed Elizabeth on the Sunrise, wasn't it?

That is correct. I stopped her.

She was your sister model...

Your younger sister.

It must've been a painful job for you.

You have some regrets about that, don't you?

No, I have none.

I did what I had to do to stop the crash.

Fine. I'm going to leave this up to you, then.

Please come again.

Is she one of the Sisters?

I'm impressed that you noticed!

Did you catch her in an online catalog?

So were Estella and Elizabeth.

Is it a coincidence that there are Sisters involved in these Singularity Points--

It's a coincidence.

How many thousands of Sisters do you think are out there in the world?

That said, in the official history,

Tatsuya Saeki and Grace are what you'd call celebrities.

They're the first human-AI couple in history to be married.

According to the official history,

it was Estella who caused the Sunrise to crash,

and the relationship between humans and AIs chilled to Ice Age levels.

And then as if to counter that, something happened to vindicate AIs.

"THEIR HIDDEN HOUSE, THE LOVE NEST" "DIRECT HIT! AI AND HUMAN'S MARRIED LIFE"

That was Dr. Saeki and Grace's marriage.

"AI AND HUMAN" "PROFESSOR SAEKI INTERVIEW"

A human and an AI--married?

"AI AND HUMAN" "PROFESSOR SAEKI INTERVIEW"

Unproductive, to say the least, no?

"BREAKING LIVE BROADCAST" "TATSUYA SAEKI" "GRACE"

Unproductive, to say the least, no?

"BREAKING LIVE BROADCAST" "TATSUYA SAEKI" "GRACE"

However, as the bridge between humans and AIs,

"BREAKING LIVE BROADCAST" "TATSUYA SAEKI" "GRACE"

those two became the toast of the town.

And it was also a huge turning point in AI history.

Meaning that our objective at the time served to hinder their romance.

You don't mean that after the Metal Float incident was resolved--

Now that history's gone this far off the rails,

their marriage is no longer as important.

Therefore, I'm not going to be the one who gets kicked by a horse, no sir!

Well, I do give them props for being together even in this version of history,

but it won't last long.

The shutdown of that island

will deal a huge blow to autonomous AIs all over the world.

Without any supplies from the island,

there'll be no hope of long-term operation.

It'll be no different for Grace.

Surely that does not mean--

No worries. I'll do what I can to make sure that it doesn't affect you.

That's not what I meant. Is Dr. Saeki aware of that, too?

That if the island's shut down, Grace will--

I'm sure he's prepared for that.

Any researcher as prescient as that man would be.

Welcome!

How are you feeling today?

Welcome to the Metal Float!

I am a civil engineering AI,

ID Number M00205.

Metal Float Inspection Team Researcher, Ms. Vivy.

Along with her support AI, Mr. Matsumoto, correct?

You are now registered.

Inspection team?

Just a random position. And the same alias as always.

We have never invited external visitors here before.

Spreading the word about the Metal Float's operations

is something that Mother Computer herself desires.

It will only complicate things if he finds us suspicious.

For now, let's let him guide us.

Thank you for your help.

I will now show you the way.

He is quite analog for an AI.

A mission with no unnecessary posts-- that's the kind of simplicity that I like!

Amazing.

Isn't it?

Some of the details differ from the official history,

but this technology is 20 years ahead of its time.

I will now guide you through the main facility. Now leading the way.

Hello.

Goodbye.

An unmanned facility.

Even with no humans around, they remain true to their missions.

Yes. But don't forget about our own mission.

I know.

Our mission and their mission are at odds.

Diva, you and I--

...are AIs who are going to stop the war between humans and AIs.

But surely there are no AIs who would feel nothing upon seeing these AIs.

Well, I have to admit that's true.

What would humans say if they saw this?

Please let me hear your opinion.

What kind of a ridiculous question is that?

I believe... they would think it was cute.

"This is cute."

Duly authenticated.

Are you sure about that answer?

Judging cuteness is one of the areas we struggle in the most.

It should be fine... at least, I think.

Um, M002--

Oh, what a mouthful! Can I call you M?

Understood.

I have changed the way you two address me to "M."

Okay, M, what is this facility?

It is a space for our future human guests to rest.

I am told that this rendering will lead to Mother Computer's mission,

"Ensure the Metal Float's survival for humankind's sake."

We're going to get left behind.

Surprise.

That is a surprise.

According to our calculations, it is the best way to welcome guests.

Please give us your opinion.

♬ Destiny, even fate, ♬

♬ Please let them shine ♬

♬ The joy of being able to protect those having fun and smiling ♬

♬ I admire, I am admiring ♬

Ms. Vivy?

Why that song?

It was selected by Mother Computer.

I'm told it was a famous song sung by an AI named Diva long ago.

I see. M?

Yes, what is it?

What does "putting your heart into something" mean to you?

As the definition for "heart" is too ambiguous, I am unable to answer.

You are right. I am sorry.

You were all kind enough to sing for me. I will go back now.

Though not a proper answer,

"Like Mother Computer,

I derive a sense of satisfaction with myself by carrying out my mission,

and serving humans."

I see.

What is this?

Emergency alarm detected.

Now releasing the main terminal's access points.

Currently detecting firearm controls approaching the Metal Float.

Diva! It's Toak!

The use of firearms, as well as flight, are prohibited in this area.

'm bringing up the footage from the security cameras on land!

They are on the move.

Failing to steal the program, they've accelerated their tactics?

This is bad!

Anticipating use of military force in seven minutes.

Please start the evacuation process.

I will guide you.

Diva! Stick the storage device in M!

I'll force-connect to the CPU via M through one of the released ports!

We can't let a clash between humans and AIs happen!

Diva!

Activating.

M-00205!

Look!

It is cute.

You can call me M if you like.

M?

Yes. That's the name I was given by people who were good to me--

Let's go! Next is Toak--huh?

What's this?

M?

What's going on?

Let's follow them!

Why?

Diva!

You... are...

My mission is to save human lives as a nursing AI.

As you can see, I am a cool-looking cube!

Since I heard that surprises are an effective way to welcome humans.

I want you to stay alive.

"EPISODE 6: SING MY PLEASURE - I LOVE YOU"

Vivy is an AI who will destroy AIs to change the destructive future.
