THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY

[Mary screams] We're so high!

[Mary screams]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Jack!

[Jack] Good job!

THE EAST MARE MARGINIS

[uneasy music plays]

JOINT ARMY

GODDARD BASE

[Windy growls]

[huffs]

[woman] Sorry to keep you fellas waiting.

It's nice to see you again, sexy.

You smell so sweet.

Settle down, stud.

I can see the lust in your eyes.

[soldier] I just can't help it.

[laughs] What type of fun

should we get into today?

[uneasy music continues]

[Windy scoffs]

[Windy] So this is a base

on the Joint Army's front line.

[suspenseful music plays]

I see.

Almost time for it to arrive.

I'm in position at the target point.

Ready when you are, sir.

[Skylum] Roger. Go ahead, Windy.

[laughs]

Let's do this!

[dramatic music plays]

Oh no!

[ominous music plays]

[music stops]

[breathes deeply] We lost the robots.

[Jack exhales]

You must have been scared.

Here, take this blanket, so you--

- [Mary] f*ck off!

- [Georg groans]

[Mary] Hm. What were

those creatures we saw?

Uh

You see

- About that.

- [Mary] Yes?

[Rhys] Well

What had happened was, uh

We're a civilian research unit

that came from Earth

under a commission by M-Atlas Corp.

Those robots we encountered earlier

are unidentified objects.

We don't know much about them.

- M-Atlas Corporation?

- He's lying.

This is the second time we've seen them.

Combined with the disturbances

in the network,

we haven't been able

to contact the exterior.

[Mary] Not sure I believe you.

[jaunty music plays]

[Jack] Mm.

[Mary] But whatever. You guys helped me.

So now it's time for me to help you.

I can guide you to a safe town nearby.

My name is Mary.

Here to serve.

[music stops]

Why am I the only one here?

[Zowan] What's her deal?

Go talk to her, Inanna!

You're right.

I should really go thank her.

Not that! I mean who the hell is she?

It's weird for her to be all alone

in those ruins.

True. How do we know she's not a spy?

But come on, Zowan. We couldn't just

leave her behind in this bad situation.

Please! There's no way

a beautiful girl like her is a spy.

[Zowan] Are you an actual idiot?

Anyway, for the time being,

we just need to rely on her guidance.

You can think whatever you want of her,

but let's just see how it goes.

- [Duan] Rhys.

- Uh

First and foremost,

we need to figure out our own situation.

That's right.

Mm. In Copernicus, we did fail.

We couldn't defeat the person

believed to be Bob Skylum's contact.

[mysterious music plays]

We also don't know the outcome

of the main army's attack on the elevator.

Okay, now that we have retreated,

we must be somewhere around here.

Somewhere near the southern part

of the Sea of Tranquility.

[fading] According to Mary's intel,

there should be a mining town nearby.

[mysterious music continues]

[Jack] What the hell was that?

But also

Phil.

Was that really you?

But that would mean

[exhales]

Why would you do that?

[Rhys] Jack?

- Earth to Jack.

- Huh?

[music stops]

- Are you okay?

- [Jack] Uh, y-yes. Sorry.

Please continue.

Apologies. Please go on.

As I was saying, we need to be careful.

Maybe we should reconsider

our intel about the commanders

and that possible contact

of the Rebel Army.

Yes, we must share

these new developments with headquarters

and wait for our next orders.

But we're a special unit, right?

Can't we make our own decisions?

I know it's frustrating,

but we don't have enough intel.

So it's better

to defer to our supervisors.

[Georg] You're the boss.

[Mary] See? It's up ahead.

So that's the mining town Hypatia.

[Jack] Still, I have to see you

one more time,

Phil.

HYPATIA MINE

[gentle music plays]

[Inanna] Yes, ma'am,

I'll take three of these.

And then four sets of those fruit pouches

right there, please.

[Duan] Get some onions and mushrooms too.

That, and do you have synthetic cheese?

One minute please. I'll check the back.

So, why are you grinning?

Well, check it out!

Lunar eggs!

They're really hard to find on Earth.

Why go through all the trouble

of sneaking away from your friends

to buy something that expensive?

'Cause I've never tried them.

Who cares how expensive they are?

Oh.

And I know Rhys already said it,

but I just wanted to say thank you

for your kindness and guidance.

And for leading us

to such a well-stocked store.

We really owe you.

- [device beeps]

- Huh? There it is!

Mm. No worries. I'm free as a bird anyway.

Besides, this region

is under the Joint Army's control,

so it's hard to navigate.

Best if I keep tagging along.

- [crowd clamoring]

- [Mary] Huh?

[man 1] Everyone, listen up!

Under Benny's leadership, the Obst receive

money and weapons from the Joint Army

to k*ll our comrades!

Oh, they insist it's for the sake

of the People of the Moon,

but the independence of

the Sea of Tranquility is truly at stake!

The Third and Fourth Headquarters,

they're just Sapientia's little puppets!

We refuse to recognize

this sham government.

[man 2] The advance of the Moon Chains

must be supported!

We must fight

alongside our hero Bob Skylum!

Moonrise!

[crowd] Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!

Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!

Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!

- Hey, isn't that?

- Yeah.

[crowd] Moonrise!

[shrill tone]

[groans]

- Uh

- [man 2] It's the Obst!

Huh?

[ominous music plays]

[tires screech]

[tires screech]

[screaming]

- [Inanna] Jack!

- What?

- Don't get involved!

- We're still undercover.

Yeah.

- [g*nf*re]

- [screaming]

[man] Help! Run!

[whimpering]

[gasps]

[tense music plays]

Sir, we have disposed

of all the dissidents and their leaders.

Very good work.

- Hm.

- [gasps]

[music fades]

[tense music plays]

[girl gasps]

Stop there.

Captain, wait.

The girl may blow herself up!

Please refrain from making contact.

[scoffs] It's fine.

Mm.

Hungry?

[tense music continues]

Take it.

[dramatic music plays]

A child of the Rebel Army?

[soldier 1] Freeze, t*rror1st!

[girl panting]

[g*nf*re]

[soldier 2] Surround her!

[girl gasps]

[music fades]

[soldier 2] sh*t!

Where did she go? Find her now!

[girl whines]

It looks like they're gone.

Wow, you're a wild one!

[girl strains]

Uh Oh. Sorry about that.

Hey.

You okay?

Let me take a look.

Huh?

Your right arm.

Hm.

[exhales]

Do you have a home, little girl?

[gentle music plays]

[music fades]

[operator] Perfect.

I'll set up a private channel.

- Tell us the details on the ground.

- [Rhys] Roger.

We'll replenish supplies and move on.

Thank you.

Zowan?

Well, I'm tracking their energy signature.

I'm hoping we can detect them

a little earlier with this technology.

Sure hope so.

[Zowan gasps]

Hm.

- Is it them?

- [Zowan] No, it's not.

It looks similar, but it's different.

Jeez, what the hell is that?

[tense music plays]

It's inside the town.

- [Osma clears throat]

- Look deeper into it.

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

[cows moo]

[Mary] You're quite the overachiever.

Are you sure your friends are gonna

be okay? Just leaving them like that.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they're fine.

Besides, we had to take care

of that little girl.

We have to make sure she gets home.

Don't you wanna make sure

she gets back safely?

[Mary] I'm guessing

you don't have any family left either.

Not anymore.

It's been a year.

Oh.

There's no need

to feel sorry for me. It's okay.

Uh

[gasps]

Follow me.

- Through there?

- Hm.

- [man 1 grunts] Did you see his face?

- [laughs] Time to pay up.

[man 1] Damn it.

[Jack] Dear God.

This place isn't very inviting.

So dark, so dreary.

They could really spruce it up

with some flowers.

[girl] What are flowers?

Huh? Flowers are flowers.

You don't know what those are?

Hm.

[man 2] Well, well, so you're the one

Rin led here.

Hm.

Hm?

Thank you for helping her.

You surely didn't have to.

Of course. I'm just glad

we got her home safely.

- Huh?

- Hm?

Thank you, Rin.

So, I'm guessing your name is Rin, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Wait!

For you. Can you make an omelet?

I've never had one.

But I can try.

[Jack] Good. 'Cause I got a bunch more.

Here, take these.

Oops! And one more.

[gasps]

[melancholy music plays]

So, are you really her father?

[man 2] There aren't any real families

left here anymore.

[Jack] Wha

You must be from Earth, right?

Uh

Yeah, but how could you tell?

[man 2] There are very few people

who can buy eggs around these parts.

Only a few elites can afford to buy them.

Or rich kids from Earth, like you.

[melancholy music continues]

While you Earthlings

Sorry, I should give credit

where it's due.

While Sapientia celebrates

equality on Earth,

here, all that we have left

is inequality and decay.

The people of the Moon divided themselves

into those who admired the Earth,

and those who opposed it,

and they fight like crabs in a bucket.

The civil w*r in these parts

has been hard on everyone.

Rin's arm is an example of the sacrifices

our people have had to make.

- [Rin] Hey, that's not true!

- Hm?

[melancholy music continues]

The great Bob Skylum gave this to me.

It's precious.

Yes, you're right.

[Jack] Hm.

Hm?

Please join us.

[Rin] Mm.

[hopeful music plays]

[Mary] Hm?

Implement Engrave technology.

[gasps]

Okay, now let's all eat together.

[hopeful music continues]

[gasps]

[Jack] Mmm. It looks delicious!

[Rin] Yeah.

- [music stops]

- [Zowan growls]

[computer beeps]

Where? Where could they be?

Oh, goddammit!

I just hate their faulty signals.

Wait, there's something

hidden in the back.

Okay.

- [Zowan] Ah.

- [Rhys] There's a message hidden inside.

[Zowan] L-Zone?

[Rhys] What do you think "SEED1" means?

Or "The Abaddon"?

Hm.

What will we find next?

Oh no. They're getting closer to Jack!

Why is he going rogue again?

[people scream]

- [Jack grunts]

- [soldier] Don't let anyone escape!

[foreboding music plays]

[groans]

[soldier] Found her! We got the girl!

This way! Hurry!

Hey! Keep your filthy hands to yourself!

[expl*si*n]

[soldier] Keep walking.

[Duan] Another hunt for dissidents.

[Georg] Wait a minute.

That's not the Joint Army's uniform.

They're a different political group.

They're called the Obst.

They're supposed to be

an independent government,

and they're supposed to be

our allies. [gasps]

Word on the street is they're ruthless

against anyone who opposes them.

But then why would they hurt a child?

Looks like the people of the Moon

aren't unified at all, are they?

[gasps]

[Duan] And just when I thought

he ditched us on purpose.

What an idiot.

This is bad.

Let's coordinate with the Joint Army

to get him out.

[foreboding music continues]

Come clean.

It seems impossible

you made it all the way here on your own.

So clearly, someone must have helped you.

But who?

I'm going to need names.

[Jack inhales]

[man exhales]

[foreboding music continues]

Hm.

- [captain grunts]

- [Rin groans]

[Jack snarls]

[gasps]

[groans softly]

[tense music plays]

I'll ask you again.

Who helped all of you escape?

- [man] Let her go, please!

- Hm.

Or?

[Mary gasps] Wait!

- [Jack] Hey!

- [gasps]

[music fades]

[soldier 1] Urgh!

What is it?

- [liquid gurgles]

- [soldier 1 whimpers]

[soldier 2 yells]

What's that?

Is he dead?

[dramatic music plays]

[moans]

[groans]

[soldier 3] Retreat!

[g*nf*re]

[groaning]

Get out of my way! They're coming! Run!

[dramatic music continues]

- [Rin yelps]

- [captain panting]

[music stops]

[dramatic music plays]

[yells]

[Jack] What's happening?

[gasps]

[grunts]

[Mary] Jack!

Are you okay?

[Jack] Yeah.

What the hell?

What was that?

[captain] Damn parasites!

Die, Moon scum!

Grenade incoming!

[dramatic music builds]
