Loss of target mass due to projectile impact confirmed.
Black box signals of both 2B and 9S confirmed.
Satellite laser weapon entering cooldown period.
We still haven't received authorization from the Council of Humanity to use the laser.
Was it all right?
Commander.
We have a need for a God.
Even if it's a non-existent one.
Huh?
That was a satellite laser weapon.
Commander.
Report. Special unit signal faintly detected.
What?
It didn't die even from that attack?
Pod! Identify its location and—
Location has already been identified. Marked on the map.
2B!
Yeah.
Everyone, please go rescue the other injured units.
Sorry.
If things go well, please get me a sample!
Please be careful.
Yeah.
Let's go, 2B.
Roger.
9S, don't overexert yourself.
I'm a bit worried about the thrust system, but I can at least assist through hacking.
This is...
2B!
Over there!
Is it trying to regenerate?
I... am...
Hey, Brother.
I'll wait.
Until you come back, I'll wait here.
When you come back, let's play.
That's a promise, Brother.
Yeah.
That's a promise.
Machine lifeforms... no hearts...
9S.
Finally.
It's all over.
Thank you, 9...
What's wrong?
9S!
I really screwed up.
I must have been corrupted when I detached myself from Adam's network.
No.
It's okay. I can always reload my backup data from the Bunker.
But, in doing so, we'll lose your current self.
Guess so.
But we can't upload corrupted data to the Bunker, so...
9S.
Please, 2B. I...
Could you please...
2B.
Hurry.
Why does...
it always... end like this?
There's still some alive?
Damn...
machines!
Are these transmissions?
The data transmissions... They're resonating with each other.
W-Wait a second, 2B!
You're...
Looks like I left personal data in the machine lifeform side.
Next thing I knew, my sense of self was regenerated over the surrounding network.
Having multiple selves fuse together like this is a pretty valuable experience.
I wanted to record it, but I couldn't access my storage areas yet.
So I just multiplexed it over the memories of some nearby enemies,
- and that's when I returned to my own— - 9S.
I'm so glad.
Yeah.
And so, the final battle with Adam and Eve came to an end.
This battle will likely have a great effect on the outcome of the war.
The battle continues a while longer for 2B and I.
But that's another story.
2 HOURS BEFORE THE FIGHT AGAINST ADAM
Request by Pod 153.
Authorization to initialize spare chassis
stored in the Bunker during the data overhaul support of 9S,
which this unit is the assistance follower of.
Authorization confirmed.
Proposal. Engage memory core diagnostics.
Fine, fine.
A single reply is sufficient for acknowledgment.
Fine.
Memory area diagnostics complete. No issues detected.
Further diagnostics advised.
Fine.
Visual sensor diagnostics complete. No issues detected. All checks complete.
I'm finally done checking everything, including the physical body.
Don't you think it's overkill to perform a full data overhaul?
Unit 9S was seized by the enemy and placed
in a non-controlled state for an extended period of time.
There is a high probability of infiltration of an enemy logic virus.
All right. I get it.
Anyway, I just gotta sync up with the Bunker server and then I'm done?
Huh? What was that?
Unknown.
Halt the data sync.
Alert. Data synchronization is mandatory for all YoRHa units.
But we just got some kind of weird noise.
Halt the data sync for 2B for now as well.
Affirmative.
Just to be sure, let's figure out where that noise came from.
Open a port to the server.
Affirmative.
No time to examine everything.
Better stick to packets with very few views.
That one.
Detected. Access log to Council of Humanity's lunar server.
These look like records for supplies shipped to the moon.
But how strange. There were a ton of empty containers.
Why would they do something so meaningless?
Alert. We are not authorized to further access this data.
That said, there's just too much strange data here.
I need to check these out too.
An attack barrier?
Why the hell would they install these within this server?
Pod!
Close the server connection! Reactivate my body!
Pod! Answer me!
Damn it!
Crap!
9S.
Pod! What's going on? Hurry up and close the server—
9S.
Pod?
Is this a new port?
YoRHa unit 9S.
- Who's there? - Welcome.
What? M-My body can't move.
Is this a new type of defensive program?
We are perpetually monitoring the androids.
Monitoring?
At times, as a form of violence.
At times, as a form of hatred.
At times, as a form of mad love.
Various stimulations.
We provided diverse trains of thought, colorful array of logic, to machine lifeforms.
And we continued to monitor how androids would deal with them.
Can these be a self-reliant virus?
But this is inside the Bunker's server. That can't be.
But it's all over now.
Wait!
I still haven't...
Once again, my body...
And now, preparations are complete.
And that's why he must...
be given the fruit of truth.
The truth.
That's...
After a long period of battles and adventures, the prophet spoke.
My voice. What's it doing in a place like this?
O grant me the mercy of the land! O grant me the joy of the heavens!
This data looks like info about how the Council of Humanity was formed as part of Project YoRHa.
Wait. Isn't that backwards?
Release me from my yoke of iron! Thus shall our souls...
That means... Can it be that the Council of Humanity...
...be saved.
Forever...
and ever.
Report. During Unit 9S's data overhaul,
an error occurred causing 420 seconds of system downtime.
It must be because of that failure.
My memory data's hosed from the middle of the data diagnosis.
Currently, 9S has not completed the data sync.
A process mandatory for all YoRHa units is unfinished.
Proposal. Immediate data sync.
There still might be some problems with the data,
so let's delay the sync to next time.
Affirmative.
Emergency backup request from 2B.
From 2B?
9S.
Operator? What happened?
We detected large numbers of machine lifeforms throughout the factory area where 2B is.
We received a support request from 2B soon thereafter, but reception has been poor.
All right. I'll try to gain access from the main terminal.
Understood.
Let's go, Pod.
Please entertain us, YoRHa unit...
No. 9.
What is it that separates machines from androids like us?
The machines have gained emotions. Consciousness.
The final screams they summoned on the edge of death.
They still echo...
within me.
PREVIEW
Remember your pain.
The pain of having your homeland stolen.
We will never give up our struggle.
We will take back the seas! The skies! The land!
We will take back our world from the scourge of the machines!
With the success of this mission...
Here and now, we will put an end to this goddamn war!
Glory to mankind!
PLEASE WATCH AGAIN!
