Please place my body back on Iron Hill.
I guess they didn't manage to retrieve her heart as well.
This is an alarm for--
Moscoy!
What's going on?
Hacking genius Spider in the house!
Who is that?
What if I told you I was Jamilov, whom you met on Digitalis?
Don't tell me you've hacked into Edens Zero!
You're weak. Weak as crap.
I totally own you.
You think you can defeat me?
You're utter trash!
An explosion?
What is happening?
Edens Zero is being destroyed from the inside out.
What?
You've got to be kidding me.
Mos!
That's what you get!
At this rate, the ship will be completely destroyed!
Things are looking bad!
Can't we stabilize the system?
After all the damage we've taken, only Hermit could…
So Hermit can stop him?
You can hear me, right, Hermit?
I can hear you.
You are the only one who can get us out of this situation!
I can't do it.
You should evacuate now.
Hermit!
I'll go persuade her!
Me too!
-I will accompany you. -Aye!
This isn't funny, damn it!
Master Weisz and Sister, repair the ship as much as you can!
I knew I shouldn't have gotten on this ship.
I want to help too!
Just stay out of our way!
Moscoy!
I don't care…
anymore.
Hermit!
There's no way I'm giving up on you or this ship!
I don't care…
An Ether Accelerator?
Yes.
It's a device that will save a large number of bots.
A large number of bots?
Won't you please assist us in constructing this device?
We humans need your power.
Sure! I'd love to, Dr. Müller!
FIREWORKS
15 YEARS AGO PLANET NEWTON
MÜLLER ROYAL LABORATORIES
This is the Ether Accelerator Prototype Number 6.
It looks like a cannon.
If we can complete this, we will be able to save the bots on Planet Hook.
But with our technology,
we just can't seem to stabilize the Ether Fusion Reactor.
It must be difficult to stabilize such an immense amount of Ether.
What is Planet Hook?
It's a planet of bots that's next to ours.
It's where bots who've been abandoned or discarded by humans go to live.
They have nowhere to go, and just carry on their bleak lives.
What's worse, the whole planet suffers from a grave Ether deficiency.
That's horrible.
If the Ether Accelerator can be completed, it could supply Ether to that planet.
Yes, that does seem possible.
But why do you want to help that planet so much, Dr. Müller?
Just like bots need humans, humans cannot live without bots.
We both need one another.
I believe that friendship exists between humans and machines.
Scientists probably shouldn't have such sentimental thoughts.
No, I think it's absolutely wonderful!
Let me help you with your research!
It's not working! The damage is so severe that
it's impossible to fix in real-time!
Still, we must do everything we can!
I will increase the shields to maximum!
Hey, Sister! Can't your powers fix everything at once?
My powers only work on living things.
Since all Four Shining Stars aren't here, Edens Zero isn't alive yet.
Don't push that!
So how long will it take until you're all smashed into smithereens?
This is what happens when trash messes with me.
Oh, those pathetic looks! How pleasurable!
Hermit!
Open up this door!
Ms. Hermit!
Hermit!
We're completely locked out!
We have no other choice.
I shall cut down this door.
Hermit!
You're the only one who can save us!
Only you can save us and this ship!
You're the only one
who can save them.
I'm the only one who can save them.
Hermit, don't you think you're pushing yourself too hard?
Don't worry.
I've almost completed
the formula that will stabilize the Ether Fusion Reactor.
There's no stopping her.
You know,
it's surprising that humans and bots work together here in this laboratory.
That's our laboratory's policy.
That's Dr. Müller's way of doing things.
I wonder if I can…
become friends with Dr. Müller.
My human friend.
If you want human friends, you've got us.
-That's right. -I'm a bot, though.
Can we become friends, Ms. Hermit?
You mean, you'll be my friends?
We're fellow researchers!
We're already friends!
Yeah! We're friends!
What? You're going to Hook?
Yes. All of us bot researchers were assigned to work on-site.
How come?
Only bots can live on Hook.
Humans can't go there.
But still, why all of you?
It shows just how extensive this project is.
We need to set up receivers to catch the Ether from the accelerator there.
It's important work.
I hadn't heard about it.
You need to help Dr. Müller with the Ether Accelerator, right?
But what if it doesn't work?
It's not like it'll kill us.
You completed this device.
I'm sure it'll work fine.
This plan is going to save lots of bots!
-Isn't it amazing? -Yes.
When this project is finished,
I'd like to think of what I can do for humans.
Knowing Dr. Müller, he'll probably say, "Just give me a shoulder rub."
So true.
DAY 18, MONTH 6, YEAR X477
At last, the time has come.
The on-site staff reported that the receivers are ready.
Ether Accelerator, all systems green.
Don't worry.
Your calculations were perfect.
Right.
Excuse me, Dr. Müller. When this is over…
What is it?
Will you be my friend?
I thought we were already friends.
Right!
Let us begin!
Commence firing Ether Accelerator C7!
Five seconds to discharge.
Four.
Three. Two.
One.
Fire.
This will alleviate the Ether deficiency on Hook.
It will save all those bots.
Planet Hook, Port 207! We have a problem!
The receiver is not compatible with the Ether discharge!
-Port 201 reporting! -Port 74!
We're experiencing issues here!
Problems discovered at Port 18!
If the Ether discharge keeps up, Hook will…
It will suffer Ether overload!
No way…
Yes!
Great success!
All right!
Dispose of that junk immediately!
What's going on, Dr. Müller?
You still haven't figured it out?
You androids really are awfully stupid.
What you've been building is a weapon!
An Ether Accelerator Cannon!
A weapon?
An accelerator cannon?
Yes. Your computing power is quite advanced,
so I used it for our benefit!
It was all to rid us of the trash on Hook once and for all!
Operation Cleaner!
You can't be serious…
We didn't send you to Hook just in case something went wrong,
but we're done with you now!
But…
Dr. Müller…
You said humans and bots need one another…
What?
Everyone knows that humans are superior!
I will eliminate every living bot from the cosmos!
I won't stand for machines going around pretending to be humans!
Yuck! That's so gross!
Get rid of her now!
Kill her!
Now, now, Dr. Müller. Calm down.
The plan was a success, after all.
I think we can still use her for something.
Really?
Let's use her as a test subject for the Ether Extractor.
Yes! I like it! That will be fun!
No… Don't!
We're friends, right?
Increase the power output!
The subject can't withstand any more of this.
It's just a piece of junk! Who cares what happens to it!
All the androids that avoided destruction in the C7 operation two years ago
have broken down.
This is the last one.
After being subjected to this treatment for two years,
it'll soon fall apart too.
Are you sympathizing with this junk?
You're ticking me off!
Smile.
Good girl.
Keep smiling.
Yes!
Here he goes again.
He does this the moment he gets annoyed.
And we told him this was the last one.
That's the way! Let's see that smile!
Keep on smiling!
This is getting pretty hopeless.
-Yeah. -For that android and for Dr. Müller.
Who are you, people?
Seize all the researchers!
Floors A through F secured!
Hey, there's a basement over here.
We're going in!
We've found an android that looks like a test subject.
She's severely damaged.
Don't touch it!
That's my test subject!
You're still resisting, Dr. Müller?
It's over for you.
This lab is being shut down by order of the Interstellar Union Army.
-Damn you, people! Let go of me! -Give it up already! Settle down!
Get your hands off me! Don't you know who I am?
Hey, you! Where are you going?
You're safe now. We have a lot of questions for you too.
She's too far gone.
Commander?
She's finally free.
Let her choose her own place to die.
That's why I went to Digitalis since there are no humans there.
But now…
Watch out!
I'm getting involved with humans again.
-Shiki! -Master!
Looks like he failed to catch it.
What a buffoon.
Oops! That slipped out!
Hermit, you're the only one who can save us from this. Please!
I don't want to save humans.
But we're androids.
Besides, Ms. Witch and Ms. Sister are your crewmates, right?
I hate androids who side with humans too.
This room is no longer safe!
Hey, Hermit…
I want you to listen.
I want you to look me in the eyes and listen.
I don't know what happened to make you hate humans so much,
but the humans on this ship all care dearly about bots.
My best friend is Happy, an android.
Aye.
Homura's teacher is Valkyrie.
She is very dear to me.
Even Weisz gets along with everyone here.
And Shiki grew up on a planet that had nothing but robots.
I know.
Granbell is where we all came from too.
When we left,
all the robots had gone berserk from a virus.
Can you imagine it?
Everyone who he thought were his friends attacked him all of a sudden.
But still…
Despite that, Shiki still says they're all his friends.
He said he was never alone because they were always there.
He doesn't care whether you're a bot or a human.
Shiki looks at our hearts.
You wouldn't understand…
what humans…
did to me.
Yeah. I don't understand.
Then leave me be!
Just hurry up and escape already!
I can't leave you be.
Why not?
Because…
you've been crying this whole time.
Those tears mean you know that not all humans are bad, right?
But…
I guess you still can't bring yourself to trust humans.
In that case, just trust yourself.
I came this far because I trust you.
I believe in you, so I'm not leaving this ship.
What do you want to do, Hermit?
I…
I want to…
be friends with you.
What's this?
Systems are rapidly recovering!
It must be Hermit!
Mos!
Holy…
What the heck's going on?
What's going on? No way! This can't be possible!
My systems are being taken over!
Emerald Sector X64332,
Y42560, Z13762.
I've identified your position!
You've identified my address?
If you've hacked into Edens Zero, then you should have realized.
Your ship is within range of our ship's…
long-range cannon!
Stop it!
What an idiot.
That was the fireworks switch.
-Did you see that look on his face? -I knew you could do it, Hermit!
-You did it! -Way to go!
Didn't I tell you?
About what?
She has a wonderful smile.
