02x03 - no (I) in team

Post by bunniefuu »

- Humanity did not survive
by escaping to the moon.

The only thing up there
is a server containing

a minuscule amount
of genetic data.

[dramatic vocal music]

The humans that created us
were eradicated by a disease

long before the invasion
of Earth by aliens.

The multitude of androids left
behind fought the aliens

to protect Earth
not knowing humanity

had already gone extinct.

And so the military command,
afraid of a decrease in morale

should the androids ever learn
about the truth,

created the YoRHa project.

It was a project where
the Counsel

of Humanity perpetuated
the illusion

that mankind was still alive.

To do this,

they issued orders
to new model androids.

We YoRHa soldiers exist only
for the sake of this project.

That's right.

My true unit name is YoRHa
Number 2, Type E.

I was created
to destroy deserters and spies

within our ranks as well
as those that discover

the truth behind this project.

An execution model.

Type S's tend to pick up on
confidential information.

Especially 9S.

His memories are rewound
after his execution.

Again and again.

And again.

Once 9S's memories
have been rewound...

I k*ll him.

If this current operation
is a success,

the battle against machine
lifeforms will be over

and our mission will come
to an end.

And then maybe 9S and I...

Report. Resistance
at YoRHa's cooperative operation

has commenced.

[beeping]

- This is 3B,

captain of theta squadron.

There's too many machine
lifeforms here

to hold the position.

- This is 2B
from the guerrilla unit.

We'll head over
to provide support.

- Roger that.
Thank you.

[beeps]

- Now marking theta squadron's

combat area on the map.

- [exhales sharply]
It must be worse than I thought.

I have to hurry.

[machine whirring]

[booming]

- This is 9S,
coordinator of the Type S's.

To all YoRHa units in
the city ruins,

the Goliath-class
machine lifeforms invading

from the outskirts
have now all been hacked.

To all YoRHa soldiers inside
city limits,

keep annihilating
the machine lifeforms.

Over and out.

- 9S.

- Prepare for combat, everyone!

[all clanging]

Only this many?

What is that sound?

[clicking]

[both gasping]

Oh, no.

- Alert. Imminent EMP attack
as well as virus infection

has been confirmed.

Proposal.

[voice whirring down]

- Pod. Comm status?

- Due to the radio jamming
from machine lifeforms,

we are still unable
to communicate.

I have to regroup with 2B!

Enemy EMP hit me directly.

I need to reboot Pod.

A virus.

[whirring]

[both grunting]

My body...

- They planted a backdoor armed
with a wide area virus

at the same time
as that EMP.

That means 2B is...

Hey, Pod, can you isolate
the origin point

of the radio jamming yet?

- Currently analyzing.

Report. Multiple signals
of YoRHa soldiers detected

including 2B and Pod 042 in

the combat zone

- I'll treat your wounds.

Hey, Pod, reboot 042.

- Affirmative.

[crackling]

- 9S.

[gasps]

You k*lled her.

Was that necessary?
- Actually,

the contamination level
for everyone besides us

is too high, so...

- What does that mean?

[all cackling]

What the--

[gasps]
This is bad.

[all cackling]

- [gasps]

Now, Pod!

Commencing emergency

Identified the unit emitting

- Pod, now!

the radio jamming.

Hurry!

No longer able to reach command.

- Dammit.
They're still jamming.

- Negative.

Signal reception is clear.

Connection has been lost due

to server-side
authentication failure.

- What do you mean by that?

There are too many enemies.

I should be able to upload

- 9S!

[doors whooshing]

[beeping]

- What?

- There is command
but nobody's here?

- 2B, this footage isn't
what's happening on the surface.

- What is going on here?

Could it be the bunker is also--
- 2B! Over there!

- Commander!

- [groaning]



[groans]

[gasps]

What are you two doing here?

- Commander!
- Are you all right?

And, uh, where'd all
the operators go?

- What?

What are you talking about?

- The YoRHa soldiers on
the surface have been taken over

by a virus.

We had to detonate
our black boxes in order

to stop them.

- A virus?
There's a virus?

I haven't received
a single report about that.

- A message for all of our
brave androids fighting.

Soon the long battle against
the machine lifeforms

will be brought to a conclusio.

We humanity here on the moon
are filled with elation

at just the thought of this.

- This information--
- Is camouflage.

All communication with
the bunker has been severed.

Everything that you've
been seeing and hearing

is just a product
of being hacked.

- We've been hacked?

- The YoRHa soldiers received

a virus through data synching,

meaning the whole bunker could
be contaminated.

- [squeaking]
[both gasping]

- Bingo!
I'm surprised you caught on!

- But why, operator 6O?
- No, wait. That's the--

- That's right.
We're machine lifeforms.

I speak to you now through
the network in

the virus we launched.

- Is that possible?
- No way.

Then that would mean--

- I must say you've entertained
us for quite some time now.

However, all good things
must come to an end.

[giggling]

The virus we planted functioned
beyond our wildest expectation.

All of this had been planned
and yet I doubt you knew

anything about it, commander.

- What do you mean?

- Where did you put
the other YoRHa soldiers?

- You didn't notice?

They're all right there!

[all gasping]

[all cackling]

[all speaking at once]

- They're still conscious!
- Stay focused, 2B!

- They're infected?
[grunts]

All of them?

- What do we do?

- If we retreat,
the bunker will--

- Why would you do such a thing?

- Why?

Because it's fun,
of course!

Now, play with us some more!

- Proposal.
- Is that--

- Immobilization of body frame.

Launching.

[booming]

[all cackling]

[all grunting]

- Commander!

- [grunting]
[beeps]

[buzzing]

This is an emergency
escape route.

It'll lead you to the hangar.

- Understood.

We can use flight units
to get outta here.

- Commander?

- Out of curiosity,

why haven't you
two been infected yet?

- The other day when I tried
to synchronize data

for 2B and I,

I saw some noise in
the bunker's server data.

And it worried me.

- So you put off
data synchronization.

- Yes.


through physical contact

but it was manageable
and I treated it pretty quickly.

- I see.
- Commander!

- [gasps]

- Miss 2B?
It's me.

Operator...

- It's 6O!

- Will you--will you come
together with me?

The commander--commander
may look like

she's always put together,

but actually she's surprisingly
slop--sloppy.

- 2B, 6O is too far gone.
- [grunts]

- From operator 6O to miss--
miss--miss 2B!

It's time for your
scheduled report!

Miss 2B, this is operator 6O
to 2B, ah--

[slicing]
[groans]

- Commander!

[whooshing]

- [gasps]

Forgive me!

Commander.

[metal clanging]

- No, 6O.

I'm sorry.

- Forgive me.

[alarm buzzing]
[all gasping]

- [maniacal laughing]

It's useless to k*ll me!

Useless!

B--b--bunker now entering
self destruct sequence.

- Commander, we gotta go!

[blaring continues]

Commander!
- [grunts]

You're right.
Let's keep moving.

- I really am thankful I
was lucky enough

to be paired up with you.

- 2B, come one!
- Miss 2B,

I hope there's a way we can
still be together.

And l--l--let's do our best,
miss 2B.

- Commander, hurry!

- [breathing heavily]

[grunts]

It's too late.
I'm sorry.

[both gasping]

- Commander!

- Sadly, I, too, have
synchronized my data

to the server.

- But 9S can hack
your systems and--

- It's not
a superficial infection.

[grunts]

I can tell that much.

- [grunts]

- Now listen closely.

You two are my last soldiers.

You have a duty to survive.

- Commander.

- Besides, I am still
the commander for this base.

The very least I can do
is go down with it.

Now get going!

[rumbling]

- 2B, it's collapsing!
- [grunts]

Wait!

- Now go, 2B!
