Come on it's an easy question so answer it

What the hell is it you want to do

I want to become a member of the scouts

And slaughter every Titan that crosses my path

Well played

All right then I'll take responsibility for him

Let the higher-ups know what's going on

Not that I implicitly trust him of course

It's more a matter of me trusting myself to deal with him

Kill him if I have to

The bigwigs aren't likely to raise a stake

My record more than speaks for itself I'm pretty sure

Good news Yaeger

You're now officially a member of the scout

Hey you think it's true? there's a Titan fighting on our side now ?

When did you start believing everything you heard more likely the recapture plan failed

And now refugees from wall Rose are gonna start flooding in here

And once those people swarm us our supplies will run out in a matter of days

Wait so if the wall Rose people really do have a Titan with them

You don't think they'd be crazy enough to bring him in here, do you?

Hey have you heard the good news

The military has a Titan on the team

Can you believe it?

Who knows? we might even be able to retake wall Maria

Finally humanity has a savior

[Nile Dok]: Savior huh?

Since the dawn of history commoners have always been a rash lot (simple-minded)

These rumors get any more out of control have a revolt on her hands

[Nile]: Not today, this so-called savior we will make an example out of him

I'll be damned if he's allowed to join the Survey Corps

Form ranks

All hail to the premier

[Dallas Zachary]: Damn hot day

Commander Pixis you're the C.O. of the garrison regiment

And I'm the commanding officer of the survey corps in the scouts

Some people might disapprove of our meeting like this

You're as straight-laced as your reputation

Nothing untoward here

We just coincidentally bumped into one another while out for a morning stroll

Protocol doesn't prevent us from chatting under the circumstances

You are aware of the military police plan to take custody of Eren Yeager I presume

Yes I received word yesterday

They plan to hold a deliberation on the matter

The decision has been left to premier Zachary

Whether cadet Yeager's future lies with the scouts or in the hands of the military police

Zachary?

You mean premiere Dallas Zachary?

The military police, the garrison Regiment and the scouts

All three fall under his jurisdiction

His decision will be based entirely on one factor

Is Eren Yeager's existence a benefit or a handicap to our survival?

If deemed detrimental Yaeger will be executed without a thought

Right then and there if need be

I for one do not want to see him die

However many in the garrison regiment I'm sad to say, are fearful of Eren's unique ability

My hands are tied the most I can do is avoid agreeing with the MP's

Do the odds favor you? (are you usually lucky?)

No they don't

And yet we do have a proposal prepared

Whether it will work or not all depends on how the debate unfolds

You mean you're going to play it by ear

Our job is reconnaissance beyond the walls

Playing things by ear is all we ever do

You are not so uptight after all it would seem

Thank you for the pleasant conversation

And good luck commander

A debate over Eren? what for?

I'm not really sure but it might be about what they plan to do with him

And what does that mean

It means...

They may not let him live

Cadet Mikasa Ackerman and cadet Armin Arlert up to!

Sir!

You're ordered to attend and act as witnesses are today's deliberation

Excuse me I gotta pee

No you just went

Then can I have some water

Hey

You're not getting a thing, got it? (damn monster)

Monster

I guess he's not too far off the mark there

Frightened of me or not though

I don't deserve this

Except how can I blame him

I don't even understand what's going on

On the bright side at least these guards haven't tried to kill me yet

What I think back they weren't afraid of me

Even after everything they'd seen

I wonder what they're doing now

And all the others

I wonder what happened to them

Just hang on a little longer Eren we'll keep trying to sort all this out

I've been in here so long

What's been happening outside these bars

I'm...I'm not going to spend the rest of my life like this, Am I?

So then you're Eren

Are you well?, how are things? I'm really sorry you've been waiting so long

But here's your chance to finally get out

One thing you'll have to put these on for me okay?

My name is Zoe Hanji I'm a section commander for the scouts

this is a fellow commander in the scouts Mike Zacharias

Oh don't mind him he makes a habit of giving new people a thorough sniff

Tends to laugh through his nose a bit but I don't think he intends it to be derisive

Quirk aside he is a skilled section commander

Sorry I've just been prattling on with a small talk and now we're here

Well I'm sure it's fine it's probably better if I don't explain anything

Hey hold on

It might seem callous but remember

We've all put our faith in you Eren

Best of luck

[Eren]: Wait

A courthouse?

I was in the basement of a courthouse this whole time?

Alright, Move it

On your knees, now

Why are all these people here just staring at me

Somebody gotta explain what the hell is going on

My friends!

All right shall we begin

Your name is Erin Yeager

And as a soldier you have sworn to give up your life when called to

For the good of the people is that correct

Yes

As an enlisted soldier during a time of war

Military doctrine demands your tribunal be held as a court-martial

As commander of our armed forces this matter has left to my discretion

Thus I will decide

Whether you live or you die

I knew it

Any objections?

No sir

Your astuteness is appreciated

let us proceed

As expected covering up your existence has proven quite fruitless

And unless we publicly disclose your existence one way or another

We risk the outbreak of widespread civil unrest

A choice must be made

And the regiment that takes custody of you will determine your fate

The military police...

Or the Scout regiment

To begin, the military police will now present their case

Thank you, my name is Nile Duck I am Commander of the military police

Our recommendation following a thorough examination of his physiology

Subject Eren Yeager should be disposed of immediately

We acknowledge that Yeager's ability played a part in turning back the latest Titan incursion

However as has been stated his mere existence is creating a swell of rebellious sentiment

For the greater good, after we have gathered all the information that we can from him

We would see him made a fallen warrior of humanity

Unacceptable

This verminous feed has defiled the mighty wall heav-

Another deranged wall cultist

[Eren]: Five years ago everyone ignored them now they've actually got some cloud ([Dallas Zachary]: Pastor Nick, please remain quit)

Now I'd like to hear the Scout regiments proposed plan

Yes sir

As the commander of the survey Corps

I Erwin Smith propose the following

Let Eren join our ranks reinstate him as a full member of the scouts

And we will utilize his Titan ability to retake wall Maria

That is all

Is that it?

Yes

With his assistance sir I'm certain we can reclaim wall Maria

Ergo I believe our top priority is perfectly clear

Quite bold

Assuming you were given clearance

Where do you plan to launch this operation from?

Commander Pixis the wall in Trost's district has been completely sealed, is that correct?

Yes, I doubt it's gate will ever open again

We'll depart from Calanes district to the east

From there we'll make for Shiganshina

A new route can be established as we proceed

But that's ridiculous our time and money would be better spent sealing up all the gates

They're the only parts of the wall that the colossal Titan can break right?

let's reinforce the blasted things and wash our hands of the entire affair

Shut your mouth you spineless merchant dog

With a Titan on our side we can finally return to wall Maria

We can't afford any more of your childish antics or your delusions of grandeur

Squealing louder won't help your case, pig

While we're bolstering our defenses do you think the Titans are going to stand idly by?

And when you say "we" can't afford do you speak for anyone other than your fat merchant friends?

Do you pigs even realize that most of our people are struggling just to survive off what little land we have left

I'm simply saying that sealing the gates is the only guaranteed protection we've got

Hold your tongue you vile belligerent heretic

Are you really suggesting that we lowly humans diddle with wall Rose that gift to us from on high?

The wall is a miracle and it's divinity transcends human comprehension

don't you understand humanity must not alter th- ([Armin]: it's that cult's fault)

They're the ones who delayed the garrisons arming of the walls

That shows you the sick amount of support and power they've got, I don't trust them at all

Such sacrilege

Oh you're insane shut your trap

How dare you?

Order!

I ask that you save your personal sentiments for a more appropriate venue

Now then Mr.Yeager I have a question for you?

As a soldier you have made a solemn pledge to answer humanity's call

Can you still serve by controlling your ability

yes, I will sir

Oh! is that so?

But this report from the battle of trust contradicts that statement

Just after transforming

it seems you made an attempt to crush mikasa ackerman

He doesn't even remember

She completely lost control

What'd you expect? you want me to lie in the report?

Glossing over that important fact could potentially spell disaster for us all

And who is this Mikasa Ackerman?

Me, that would be me sir

All right then, is it true that Eren Yeager assaulted you while he was in Titan form

Answer the premier honestly, Eren's future depends on it

Yes all of that's true

I knew it, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing

I...I tried to kill Mikasa?

What's happening to me?

However, he also saved my life twice before

And in each circumstance he was using his Titan ability

The first shortly after Trost fell

I was nearly killed by a Titan but then Eren came he stepped in and protected me

The second time he transformed to shield Armin and me from cannon fire

I implore you to take these facts into consideration

Objection!

I have reason to believe that personal feelings play a large part in her testimony

let the record show that Mikasa Ackerman was orphaned at a young age

and was subsequently taken in by the Yeager family

What's more our own internal investigation into this matter

Led to a most shocking discovery

Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman at the tender age of nine

Dealt with three adult kidnappers by stabbing all of them to death

Granted this was done in self-defense

All the same, one cannot help but question the violent nature of the act

Knowing all of this, should we really invest in him?

Money, manpower, perhaps the very fate of us all

Maybe he's a Titan that snuck in here and taking a form of some little child

Maybe she's one

I bet she's not human either

Yeah you're right dissect her too just to be safe

Now hold on a second, maybe I'm a monster that you want dead

But you leave her out of this

She is innocent

- Like we trust you [Eren]: It's the truth

She must be one if you protect her

[Eren]: Stop it

You're wrong

About it all

But you're so intent on pushing selfish agendas you're blind to what's in front of you

Wait what do you mean ?

What does it even matter (what am I saying)

None of you have even seen a Titan

So why are you so afraid huh

(maybe I should just keep quiet)

(no, if they want to kill me I'll let them know exactly what I think)

There's no sense in having power if you're not going to use it to fight

If you're just scared to fight for your lives fine, let me do it

You you're all cowards

Just shut up!

And put all your faith in me

-Take aim damn it -Right, yes sir

Mikasa wait

You know personally I think nothing instills discipline like pain

You don't need a good talking-to

What you're in need of boys is to be taught a lesson

And you happen to be in perfect kicking position

Hold on Levi

What is it it's?

It's dangerous

What if he gets angry turns into a Titan

Don't be silly

After all you guys just want to dissect him don't you?

During the time that he was transformed

They say that Yeager was able to kill 20 Titans before he finally ran out of strength

As an enemy his intelligence makes him all the more dangerous

But I could still take him down without a problem

How many of you can say the same

Before you torment the Beast you better think

Can you actually kill him?

Sir, I have a proposition

Proceed

There's still too much we don't know and no doubt his danger will be ever-present

As such I suggest this :

Eren Yeager be placed under Captain Levi's supervision

And will conduct a recon mission outside of the wall

Yeager will join you in this excursion ?

Yes sir, and you can look upon the missions results yourself

And if he successfully controls his ability

Eren will have proven his value to mankind

Eren Yeager will be closely supervised

And if he should lose control ?

I can definitely kill him if it comes to that

The only downside is

There's absolutely no middle ground

Then I have made my choice

Well that went better than I expected

-Does it hurt? -Yeah

Yeah? describe it to me

[Erwin]: Sorry for all that but the theatrics did get you placed in our custody

No, I understand

I can assure you the pain was worth it

We played our trump card at the perfect time

You have my utmost respect

Eren I'm glad that you're on our team

Me too, glad to be here, sir

- So Eren - Sir?

You don't resent me now, do you?

No, I can see that what you did was necessary sir

Good then you understand

Still don't you think you went too far

I mean you knocked his tooth out

you picked it up? how disgusting

This is a precious sample we have *

Hey, just be glad people like that aren't dissecting you

Don't you dare compare me with them

I would never even dream of killing him

Hey Eren let me take a look inside that mouth of yours

You tooth...it grew back

After achieving his long-held dream of joining the elite Scout regiment

Eren finds the vaunted Scouts are an eccentric band of soldiers and searchers

A haven for oddballs misfits and iconoclasts
