01x11 - head(Y) battle

[bunniefuu]

This isn't just a typical case
of machine lifeforms going rogue.

Listen, 2B.

We have detected numerous hostile
machine lifeforms in the Ruined City.

All YoRHa units have been
ordered to counterattack.

Permission to use additional weapons
has been granted to you.

I will send the data to your Pod.

Please stay safe, 2B.

Thanks.

This is Northern Defense Headquarters 12C.

Can anyone hear me?

I am Broadcast Operator 42S.

Currently, our defense facilities

are surrounded by
numerous machine lifeforms.

If this continues...

The Lunar Human Council

informs all androids fighting on Earth.

The battle against the machine lifeforms...

We should enhance our weapons so that...

No.

It might cause the enemy to evolve
and we'll be at a loss.

But we can't go on like this.

Any communication from other camps?

Still nothing.

They're probably in the same predicament.

A report from the reconnaissance team.

The second wave consists of
around 200,000 enemy machines.

200,000?

We can't handle that many
in our current state.

We've barely made it
through the first wave...

Jackass, do you think
you can weaken the enemy?

No, this is endless.
I'm retreating for now.

Damn it.
They just keep coming without end.

Lily, I'm afraid we can't
hold them off here.

After all the effort we
put into taking those...

You two retreat to a safe place for now.

Lily, we can't let it go on like this...

Captain, considering the amount of
ammunition we have, we should retreat.

Where to?

The machine lifeforms are everywhere.

Lily.

2B, you came?

You're the YoRHa from the other day.

What's the situation?

They launched a large-scale attack.

We were fighting back at first,

but one of them was particularly strong.

To defeat it...

...we lost half our force.

A particularly strong one...

What about the other YoRHa unit members?

I don't know.

The entire city is under attack.

Although we were ordered to counterattack,
the situation is chaotic.

The entire city?

What are we going to do?

Pod, can I already use
the weapon I just downloaded?

Report. It is ready.

-Wow.
-Amazing.

I have an idea.

Lily, gather everyone here.

Even though you're a YoRHa,
there's a limit to fighting alone.

You don't have to help us.

Pod, prepare laser communication.

Understood.

The southern YoRHa units entered into
combat with hostile machine lifeforms.

-In the desert, the Hunter units are...
-The Resistance Camp is being...

Eastern YoRHa units requested backup.
Calling for nearby units that can help.

Heat source detected underwater.
Possible machine lifeform...

-Laser communication network established...
-Lost signal from 11B's black box.

Commander.

You have already submitted 18 requests
regarding this plan.

You should know very
well what this implies.

I am the commander of the YoRHa unit.

I think it is one of my responsibilities

to raise objections in order to
reduce damage to the unit.

Everything has its limits.

I reject your additional request
for the use of satellite lasers.

Why?

If this goes on,
the YoRHa unit will be annihilated

and this whole plan
might become meaningless...

The meaning of this plan
will be defined by us, the Human Council.

Do not intervene.

You should know that we cannot sleep

until we obtain God in Program 11.

Don't forget what
your role in this plan is.

That's all.

Glory to mankind.

Glory to mankind.

Am I... going to repeat the same mistakes?

Miss Lily, they will arrive at the
predetermined line soon.

Roger. Retreat immediately and join us.

Now!

Everyone, deploy the EMP canceller.

It worked.

All enemy machines have stopped.

-Yes!
-We did it!

9S!

Phew.

Looks like I made it just in time, 2B.

Thank you, 9S.

I thank you two
on behalf of the Resistance.

We might not have made it without you.

You launched my body to the bunker.
I'm just returning the favor.

I'm very grateful to hear you say that.

Next, we'll sweep up
the remaining machines...

It's starting to rain...

Warning.

Hostile reaction from a variant detected.

A variant?

On the other side of the building!

What is that...?

It's that variant from the other day!

It's huge! That's a machine lifeform?

This is crazy even for a variant.

We won't have time to collect data.

Damn it.

What are you doing? Stop!

Not as strong as it looks, huh?
I got scared for nothing.

Report.

Change of mass of the variant detected.

It's still alive?

Recommendation. Immediate retreat.

Retreat?

Where to with an enemy like that?

Is it... evolving...?

2B, look!

We meet again, boy.

Is that...?

In the past, I was deeply
interested in humans.

After decoding the records,

the complexity of humans fascinated me.

But I realized one thing.

Whether it's memories or knowledge,

without anyone to share it with,

this whole world is meaningless.

Why...

Perish, all of you!

Has it gone rogue?

How can we defeat something like that?

2B, what is that thing?

It's the main unit that organizes
the machine lifeform's network.

We YoRHas have been ordered
to destroy it as well.

Does that mean, if we destroy that giant,

we can stop all machine lifeforms?

In theory, yes. But how do we do it?

I doubt the bunker will be able to
send us reinforcements.

Weapons dealer, can we use "that"?

Do you mean the thing we found
during the airborne operation?

I did repair it but it can hardly fly.

It's our secret weapon that's
meant for times like these.

If it doesn't hit, just keep trying.

Yeah, but...

Tell me more about your plan.

Okay. We appreciate you helping us.

Everyone, listen up.

We're going to take down that giant.

Please help if you can still move.

If we work with the YoRHas,
we may be able to end this w*r.

But I won't force you.

Because rather than dying here,

you can choose to
survive and continue fighting.

For your injured family
members and partners...

We're in.

Let's take down those scraps of metal.

The Resistance is all
about fighting to the end.

Let's take down that thing for humanity.

We still have
plenty of gunpowder, Captain.

Okay, let's adjust that thing,
supply dealer.

Looks like we have plenty of work to do.

Thank you, everyone.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.

-Let's get started.
-Let's go.

Let's show those guys on the moon
how we survive.

Those who are alive, follow me.

Miss Lily, proceed according to the plan.

I got it.

Lure that thing to us, 9S.

Over here.

Is he weaker than we expected?

Report. Huge energy response detected.

Energy supply from multiple
machine lifeforms suspected.

What?

2B, it seems it's absorbing the energy

of nearby machine lifeforms
through the network.

I'll hack in to interrupt
it's energy supply before luring it.

Roger.

It's all good here.

We're moving to the rendezvous location...

Behind you!

What was that individual?

Be careful.

It's the same type as
the one that destroyed half of our camp.

They're extremely sturdy
and move differently.

Got it. Leave it to me.

You go stand by
at the rendezvous location.

Thanks, 2B.

Let's go!

Hacking!

Its physical defense wall is
unbelievably strong.

I can't hack it like this.

Pascal!

Thank you, Pascal.

Is your village okay?

Our village has been separated
from the network,

so we didn't get caught up in this chaos.

I see.

Warning.

Type S models need to apply
for permission before using

a strengthened connection equipment.

We don't have time for that now.

Pascal, I have a favor to ask you.

They're fast.

The enemy of the family...

-The enemy of the family...
-The enemy of the family...

Pod, Program A100!

Understood.

9S...

Pascal.

After you put me down,
evacuate to a safe place.

Okay.

Pod.

Understood.

It's not over yet!

Hacking!

What is this space?

I am...

What is it this time?

Eve... why...

This guy...

This is from the human world...

-Why...
-Why...

-Is his self-data beginning to collapse?
-Why...

This is bad.

I have to execute the program
before it collapses.

30% left until completion of analysis.

Just a little bit more
until I can execute the program.

Hey, Brother.

I don't want you to get hurt.

But, more than that,
I don't want you to disappear.

So let's go somewhere else...

How?

Why?

It has restarted. It's coming this way.

Did we make it?

This is Lily.
The target is coming our way as planned.

Once you are ready,
immediately retreat to the safe circle.

We will end this w*r with our own hands.

Target has arrived at
the designated location.

Direction and launch angle adjusted.

Launch!

Jackass!

Okay!

Now!

-We made it!
-We did it!

9S.

That was close.

It was a close call but,
thankfully, I made it in time.

You're always so reckless, Nines.

Did you just call me "Nines"?

You did, didn't you?

Communication over.

Huh?!

-Wait a minute, 2B!
-Mr. 9S, don't move!

Communication was interrupted
due to the expl*si*n.

Search for local YoRHa units
and form a rescue team...

Signal restored, displaying image.

Is that...?

It's still alive?

We won't be able to change
the trajectory of a mass like that...

Charged particle reaction?

Everyone, find cover now!
