This is Tower System Services.

We apologize
for the inconvenience,

but access to the facility
is not permitted at this time.

- An access authorization key

to see you currently,

we look forward to serving
you again in the near future.

- Huh?

Operator, why...

the last operation.

She was sent to the front lines

Stay back!
- Alert.

Excessive contact risks danger
of infection.

How bad is her corruption?

Proposal. Immediate retreat.

Come on!

We can get through

- Operator 21O to 9S.
Do you copy?

- I can hear ya.
You're loud and clear.

- A "yes" would suffice.
- Yes.

- I ask you distance yourself
from the operation area

during combat.

- But then I won't be able
to assist you.

- Unfortunately, scanner models
like yourself

aren't designed for battle.
- Oh?

So then you're just worried
about me?

- No. To put it simply,

you'd be a liability on
the b*ttlefield.

All I wanted was a family
to try and protect.

They have ceased activity.

That means...

Operator!

No. Why?

Pod, quick!
Administer first aid and--

[gasps]

Operator, please.

[gasping]

- Before I got infected,

I surveyed this tower.

So my last assignment
as operator has been to--

- Don't you get that
that doesn't matter anymore?

- Received information from 21O.

- Do your best.

- [sniffles]

Okay.

- I have one acknowledgment.

You're such a good boy.

Bathroom! Bathroom! Bathroom!

You're not able to go

Fine! Just stop yelling!
Which way is the bathroom?

all: That way! That way!

- Ooh, you guys just like
causing me trouble!

Cut it out or I'll--

- Aww, what a charming sight!

- Hey, would you quit
standing around

and help me out over here?

- It seems like they've
warmed up to you, Miss A2!

- Like I care about
that right now!

What matters are
the materials I ordered!

- I'm getting them ready
as we speak.

I just need you to watch
the children for a while.

- [gasps]
- Pee-pee! Pee-pee!

- Don't worry, little one.

Big sis A2 will take you
to the bathroom!

- Says who?
[all speaking at once]

- [snarls]
Damn!

Curse you, Lily.

Huh? But why me?

- You're just picking
up materials.

- You can send anyone on
an errand like that.

- I don't have enough manpower
right now.

- But why does it have
to be me, though?

- Well, that filter
was a precious commodity

and since we used it to rescue
a certain someone,

we don't have nearly
enough materials anymore.

Too bad.
It leaves us in a pickle.

- [snarls]

- [chuckles]

You've got this, Number 2.

- Goodness, you've become
a monster.

- [chuckles]

I think I've just become
an adult.

- Make-believe bathroom was fun.
- Thank you!

- So much fun!

- Thank you for your hard work,
miss A2.

- Poo-poo!

- I guess I should
get going now.

- [grunts]

- Oh? Is something wrong?

- Poop.

- Huh? You can just go,
can't you?

- [snarls]

- I'm only kidding.

Come on now, little one.

Uncle Pascal will take you
to the bathroom.

- Hey.

Where are those materials?

- Oh, they've been
long since ready.

Feel free to take them
at any point.

- Poo-poo!

- Okay, I see now.

You did this so I would play
with the children.

- A machine lifeform like me
would never do something

so mischievous like that!
- Damn you!

- Alert. Multiple hostile
enemy lifeforms detected.

[grunts]

Why am I doing this?

There's no meaning anymore.

- Report.

We require unlocking
three sub-units

to access the main tower unit.

Upon further analysis
of information received

from unit 21O,

sub-units are responsible
for transporting resources

to the main tower unit.
- And if we break them,

we can annihilate all of
the machine lifeforms at once?

- Hypothesis.

That tower is the sole entity
currently coordinating

the machine lifeforms.

- Where is the closest sub-unit
from here?

- 2.7 kilometers
from current point.

- Start navigating
the shortest route.

- Hostile machine lifeforms
are headed towards our village?

Why is that?

- Poo-poo?
- Don't worry.

We'll be just fine.

Now go play with your friends
for a little bit.

- Poo-poo! Poo-poo!

- Are we sure that information
is accurate?

- Who can tell?
You positive?

- Report. The possibility
of false information

is quite low.

Tactical support units such
as myself

are programmed to set up
countless surveillance terminas

in each area outside

of our support
target's location.

Pods are then able to share
the information captured

with each other through
a network communication system.

- And about how many of you
are out there?

- 3,313 units
are in operation nearby.

- I guess that info's
pretty accurate.

[all speaking at once]

[scoffs]

Hey, Pascal!

He bailed.

Dammit!

[gasps]

- Are you hurting somewhere?
- You hurt?

- Repair?
- Can't play?

- Report. Hostile machine
lifeform group

is moving farther forward.
- [grunts]

No matter what they're after,

anyone who stands
in my way will be--

[all shouting]

- What's the matter?

[gasps]

[all shouting]

What are you scared of?

This thing?
[all shouting]

Calm down!

I'm using it to protect you,
not hurt you!

- Calm down, children!
She's telling the truth!

She's only going to use
it against our enemies!

- Pascal, are you--

all: To protect?

- And these...

Are also going
to help protect you!

Do you understand?

all: Understood!

the children safe, I'll fight!

- Report. Arrived at structure
referred to as sub-unit.

[steam hisses]

- This big thing
is the sub-unit, huh?

[gasps]

- Hello, visitor.

This structure
is the resource recovery unit.

Allow us to disarm
the security measures for you.

Now anyone can safely enter
without fear of enduring harm.

- What's the meaning of this?

[clangs]

I'll break you apart.

What's that?

- It's a special ancient
language known as Angelic.

- What does the writing say?

- The following letters read,
"Meat box."

Details of this message
are unknown at this time.

- An elevator?

Their actions never
have meaning.

And never did.

- Report. Multiple machine
lifeform signals detected

within the structure.

However, unable
to determine hostility.

[clangs]

- What's up with this place.

Is it entirely made up
of machines?

- Analysis.

Many useless parts unrelated

to machine lifeform
functionality detected.

The reason for using said parts
remains unknown.

- Hmm?

- Confirmed. The machine
lifeforms within this unit

are in sleep mode.
- Sleep?

[grunts]

Why are they so carefree,
they're asleep?

b*stards!

Die!

- [groaning]

- [gasps]

- This is...

[all speaking at once]

- Status?

- The numbers were immense.

I'm not sure if our equipment
is going to be enough

to hold them back.

We need more firepower.

I can get it ready
but I need you

to watch over everyone
while I'm busy doing that.

- [scoffs]

Hurry up.

- Oh, I can't thank you enough!

I'll be back as soon
as possible!

- You hear that?

I'm taking over here
until Pascal returns.

Everyone follow your assignments
and we'll be fine!

[all shouting]

Pascal, we need you.

- Stop. Please stop.

[shouting]

- Please don't k*ll me.

[clangs]

So--so much pain.

- Machines can't feel pain.

- Ah. Please. Please.

- Android, why do you fight that
which surrenders to you?

You struck down our king
without remorse or hesitation.

Even so, I do not seek revenge
for what you did to him.

All I want is a conversation
with Android--

- Die.

- Help me. Please.

Help me.
I'm scared.

Help me. I'm scared.

- You really think begging
for your life

is enough to save you right now?

Converge energy.

Close range mode.

Maximum output.

[booming]
- Help me.

[booming]

- Information received
from core.

Obtained pass code that reads,
"My sin."

- Congratulations on obtaining
one of our pass codes.

If you manage to collect
all three of them,

you will be invited
to the tower.

We hope to see you there soon.

- You're messing with me now.

But not for long.

- You're a coward.

- Huh?

- You're not capable
of saving anyone.

You're not capable
of protecting anyone.

Isn't that right?

You're not even capable
of k*lling me. How sad.

You're nothing but
a worthless coward.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

We're actually wearing

But it must be expensive, right?

This is an Accord brand item,

we'll even add a smaller
Phoenix Dagger at no charge.
