01x09 - hun(G)ry for knowledge

[bunniefuu]

Closed too...

I wonder if there even is
a way out of here.

I sent counterfeit data
from the Sunken City,

then followed someone resembling A2,

and found a weird room
with pictures on the walls.

Even though the radio waves
were interfered with,

I wonder at what point
I entered this data space.

Or...

I was forced into here.

You...

You guys...

Who are you?

Listen, Android...

We machine lifeforms...

have gained a new consciousness

through years of struggle
and intellectual evolution...

What are you talking about?

As if...

a new life form was born.

Did you say "life form"?

Yes, and my name is...

Adam.

"Adam"?

You're just a machine...

Are you saying that machines
don't deserve to talk about life?

Then what about you Androids?

Aren't you just puppets
doing what you're told?

Shut up.

By the way,

how's your companion 2B doing?

How come you know her name?

I will never forget you two.

You were there when I was born
and you tried to k*ll me.

You're that variant from the other day.

Exactly, boy.

You also have a will
and a desire, don't you?

Deep inside of you,

there lies an ugly desire
that no one knows about.

The more you try to hide it,

the more that twisted darkness will grow.

Shut up! I don't...

No need to deny it.

-Shut up!
-All life is trapped by desire.

I can't block out his voice.

Some long for love,
some long for a family.

And I...

I'm not like you!

We are no different.

You don't believe in anything.

You want to destroy everything.

-You have no hope.
-No.

-You want to get everything.
-No.

You want to get all the love.

No...

In fact, to you, 2B is...

Stop!

Are you going after him?

Maybe that's what the enemy wants.

Do you need my help?

I'll go find 9S.

You go tell Lily to reinforce
the security around the camp.

Got it. Be careful, 2B.

Report. Communication restored.

Then contact 9S...

Report.

Pod 153.

My accompanying object, 9S,
is unable to be supplied.

Right before he disappeared,

a weak machine lifeform response
was detected.

Requesting search and rescue.

That's...

us today.

Who did this?

Report. 9S disappeared in this space.

Confirmed.

Numbers are predicted to be
a specific coordinate,

which corresponds to
the underground area of the Ruined City.

Pod, contact the bunker for me.

Understood.

Commander.

What's wrong?

We have an urgent request from 2B.

9S has most likely to been captured
during their mission.

Because we cannot predict
the size of the enemy's unit,

she is requesting an urgent dispatch
of a search force.

Commander, please approve.

I can't.

But if we don't hurry...

All of the bunker's search units are
now out on missions.

And it's hard to get help
from other w*r zones.

That's what you'll tell her.

What? But...

6O.

Understood...

I'm very sorry, 2B.

Got it. Don't worry about it, 6O.

Pod, how far are we from the coordinates?

We will shortly arrive at our destination.

Report.

We have reached the coordinates.

What is this place?

A disguised hologram?

Warning. This might be a trap.

DUPLICATE CITY

Who made this?

Unknown.

No information on this location

can be found in past data.

Request.

Please allow me to search for 9S.

Pod 153, stay on the ground and stand by.

Please request reinforcements
from the bunker again.

Detection.

This area contains crystalline substances
of silicon and carbon.

Details unknown
due to lack of information.

A weak black box signal detected ahead.

Signal form confirmed.

It is consistent with
the identification code for 9S.

Pod.

Maximize the sensitivity of all sensors.

Understood.

There is no machine lifeform
response nearby.

The surrounding statues are composed of

calcium sulfide, sodium chloride,

and a crystalline structure
formed of unanalyzable material.

No hostile reactions detected.

What are these statues?

Unknown.

Report.

Subject identified as
the missing member of the YoRHa unit.

Welcome to my town.

Where is 9S?

No need to rush, 2B.

I've been dying to talk to you,

so I invited you here.

My name is Adam.

When we first met
underground in the desert,

we both weren't in the state to talk.

"Underground in the desert"?

You're that variant?

I'm glad you remember me.

Where is 9S?

If you k*ll me,
you won't be able to find him.

This is our playground.

We made it imitating humans.

I...

We machine lifeforms are
deeply fascinated by humans.

Human beings are fascinating
but difficult to understand.

Love and family, w*r and religion.

I'm fascinated by
the complexity of human beings.

We wish to unravel
the mysteries of human beings.

You don't understand how that feels,

do you?

Just like them.

What are you talking about?

This is something
you Androids have been looking for.

Allow me to introduce...

our...

creator.

This is the alien who created
us machine lifeforms.

In other words,
this is your lifelong enemy.

Isn't that what you've been looking for?

In a place like this?

Although it's a touching moment,
they're already dead.

We wiped them out hundreds of years ago.

All of them?

Yes.

Machine lifeforms are weapons that
constantly evolve and get stronger.

With the wisdom born on the network,

it didn't take us long
to surpass our creator.

You k*lled your own creator?

Who cares?

They're just like plants.
Simple and boring.

Utterly worthless.

I'm more interested in human beings and...

you Androids.

I've been watching you.

You, who were created imitating
human beings, do have emotions.

Joy, sorrow, fear,

and hatred.

But YoRHas are forbidden to have emotions.

Don't you think that's a mean suggestion?

Why don't you follow me, 2B?

I have high hopes for you.

Let's explore the mystery
of the human heart.

Where is 9S?

All right.

Then I'll ask him for help.

9S!

I ran all sorts of experiments

on your beloved 9S.

His internal structure
is extremely complex.

Very intriguing.

Next, I'm going to disassemble and
dissect him to take a direct look inside.

Such pain will surely draw out
more emotions.

I'm going to k*ll you!

Yes, that emotion is hatred,

which is what I'm after.

Come on, 2B!

It's really fascinating, 2B.

Human beings are all about conflict.

They fight, loot, and k*ll each other.

That's what humans do.

Who are you to judge human beings?!

9S...

I duplicated his body.

It's quite realistic, isn't it?

You...

You hesitate to attack him
even though you know he is fake.

That's what human emotions are.

Good for you.

It proves you're similar to humans.

We are both deeply fascinated
by human beings.

Therefore, machine lifeforms and
Androids can be considered the same.

Recommendation.

Identify the situation
and respond as planned.

I know...

Pod!

Don't bother us.

Slaughtering each other is of no use.

I'm sure you're aware that

human beings have already
gone extinct a long time ago.

Shut up.

Unfortunately, that's the truth.

And I...

want to reach the abyss of human beings.

But we machine lifeforms are
connected by the network

and are invincible.

In the infinite data,
I lacked the feeling of being alive.

I cannot understand the concept of death.

Hence,

I have separated myself from the network.

Come on.

Just k*ll me, and you can
save your beloved 9S.

2B.

9S...

Can you see death, 2B?

Report.

Will arrive at the scheduled time...

I succeeded in...

buying time.

What?

Someone hacked into my system?

Who is it?

Please request reinforcements
from the bunker again.

I refuse to execute this command.

The operational sovereignty
of this machine is set to 9S.

Also, there is no guarantee the command
center will send reinforcements.

What do you want to do then?

While you are with the enemy,

I will hack into its main system.

Please buy as much time as possible.

What is the success rate?

The success rate is 36%.

I support Pod 153's suggestion.

By adding my processing power to the plan,

the success rate will increase to 45%.

Okay.

Pod 153, hack into the system
while we act as a decoy.

Understood.

Control rate... 92... 93...

94... 95...

Interesting.

Something's getting inside of me.

100%... System control...

So, I've been hacked...

Is it the effect of
separating myself from the network?

I see.

You really are my death, huh?

Brother.

Eve.

I will... protect you.

Hurry up... Save 9S...

Report...

9S... has been successfully saved.

Recommendation.

Immediately... leave this area.

9S!

2B.

Let's go home, 9S.

Eve.

Hey.

When we get back, let's play.

Brother.

Eve.

INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS OF
THE GAME NieR:AUTOMATA.

NieR:AUTOMATA PUPPET SHOW
"T-SHIRTS RECOMMENDED"

Hi, everyone.
I'm sorry I took a break last time.

I'll try to make up for that today.

I'm YoRHa No. 9 Type S, aka 9S.

And I'm YoRHa No. 2 Type B, aka 2B.

So. I designed a T-shirt for you, 2B.

Sharing information.

Isn't it nice, 2B?

Thank you.

In return, I also designed
a pattern that suits you.

Amazing. Thank you.

ACORN

-And this one.
-Wow!

Perfect for the commander.
How about this for the Comm Officer?

-I recommend this.
-Excellent.

For Jackass...

So cool, 2B.

My imagination is running wild.

2B AND 9S ABANDONED THEIR MISSION.
THE RESISTANCE CAMP WAS ATTACKED.
