Object heading west on 1 04th Street is believed to be either...
...an armored trooper or light mobile armored combat machine.
Request full AD Police assistance.
Massive explosion in District 1 4.
Police pursuit vehicles believed to be involved.
lt`s a boomer, Leon.
lt`s turned up in District 34!
OK, take him down !
Ready!
When Priss finds out we`re not getting paid for this job, she`ll be angry.
This Boomer`s not acting at all like they usually do.
Leon ! He got past the District 9 Gate. Heading south on 42nd Street.
Choppers and trackers in pursuit.
Got it.
Be careful. There`s something different about this one.
Perhaps we ought to leave it to the Army...?
Our boy`s making quite a splash.
He got Chopper 2!
Where`d the bastard go?
What a mess!
This one`s different, a whole new breed.
What are they up to?
lt`s a C-Class Boomer.
A new type?
Looks that way.
Let`s get out of here.
So those are the Knight Sabers everyone`s talking about.
Man, l`m starved.
Now to feed my face... Huh?
ls it... Priss?
lt is you, isn`t it? Fancy meeting you in a place like this!
Uh, l`m a fan of yours!
Thanks.
l caught your show this evening.
lt was incredible!
Say, how about having a burger with me?
l`ve already got one.
Oh yeah ... so l see.
Still, this is so cool ...
... me getting to make friends with you and all ...
Oh, l still haven`t introduced myself.
l`m Leon, with the AD Police. We protect people from Boomers.
l knew that from looking at the badge on your chest.
You know, l hate the police...
...especially the AD Police.
Well, there aren`t many people who say they love the police.
Well, you might be liked if you did a little something for the people`s benefit.
Throw this away.
Uh, if l do, will you have dinner with me sometime?
lnstead of chasing girls` asses, go chase a few Boomers` asses.
These are the Knight Sabers.
This is their stock-in-trade?
Yes, sir. Their true motives are unclear...
...but the facts seem to indicate that they will work for money.
To think that such suits actually exist...
l would very much like to acquire them for analysis.
Do you want to hire them, sir?
We can`t let it become public knowledge...
...that this latest fiasco is a USSD military secret.
Yes, offer them the job.
Yes, sir!
Trade friction, you say? The nations of the world want...
... Genom`s products so much, they`re fighting over them !
That`s true. Genom accounts for 68% of the world`s cars, for example... Relax...
Military Combat Boomers?
Don`t tell me you`re going to bring that up again ...
That`s a vital export business we have with the countries...
...involved in the Polar War, you know.
lt`s contributing to our country`s continuing prosperity...
...and we`re proud of it!
Uh-huh ... if you show me your support...
... l can guarantee the Prime Minister`s position ...
...yes... you can count on it... rest assured.
Regarding the collection you desired...
... my men have just acquired it from USSD.
l wanted those items at any cost...
...for the further expansion of Genom Enterprises.
This is an extremely important collection. Handle it carefully.
l believe l can make it available to you within 24 hours, sir.
Mason, l`ll leave it up to you ...
...but don`t forget that Genom is a respectable company.
lt would be unfortunate if our name were to surface even slightly.
Yes, sir. l`m aware of that.
Hello, Uizu Laboratory.
Good evening.
Oh, good evening. Chief? lt`s your daughter.
Hello? ls that you, Daddy?
What`s the matter, Sylia?
lt`s the middle of the night. Why are you still up?
lt`s been a whole week, Daddy. When are you coming home?
l`m all right, but Mackie`s feeling lonely.
Ah, l understand, Sylia.
You know l`m doing some very important research right now, don`t you?
Yes.
Be patient just a little longer.
We`re throwing in the No. 2 Battery, sir.
Check output at one-tenth-second intervals. lnject power.
lt`s only a model using synthetic fibers at this stage...
...but the possibilities will open up from here on ...
Sis? This just arrived...
A data unit?
''For Sylia Only?''
All right, already!
Hey, Sis! Here l come!
Can`t you be any more quiet? lt is morning, after all ...
Which paper are you reading? Here! Take a look at this!
A job offer?
See?
''To the Knight Sabers: there is a matter we want to commission you for...''
Wow! Look at this! lsn`t it radical?
Save it for later. Work comes first.
And what would you ladies like?
Do we have a job?
How about something like this?
Uh, let`s see.
WOW ! 20,000,000 up front?
Uh, you mean these panties go for 20,000,000?
Oh, BRl LLlANT recovery.
Have you finished investigating the client?
lt`s USSD.
USSD? The space defense force?
This is uncool. There`s got to be a catch somewhere.
You`re right.
But l think that since we have an offer, we should take it. lt`s work, after all.
On the other hand, it might be a trap.
That`s true...
What do we do, Sylia?
l think there`s merit in both your viewpoints.
We need to know the details of the job, and what they`re really after.
Anyway, let`s contact them.
Nene?
You`re through with work for the day, aren`t you? Come with me.
Oh, OK.
Hey... what`s this?
Was getting on the bus dressed like this really a good idea?
We`ll save time and trouble this way.
Good afternoon.
Who... who are you?
Good afternoon !
Co... Combat suits? Wha... What do you want?
We`re the Knight Sabers. We`re here at the Commander`s invitation.
What? ! All right, hang on a second. l`ll check.
Hello, this is Gate 2. l`ve got people claiming to be the ''Knight Sabers.''
Yes... Yes, that`s right... yes... huh ...? Yes, sir!
My... my apologies! The Commander is waiting for you !
See?
Yup.
Sir, the Knight Sabers are here.
Ah. Send them in.
Do... do you always dress like that?
Of course. After all, the world isn`t a very safe place.
A... a woman ...?
Well, not even wearing armor can hide these measurements!
See what l mean?
Ah, but they perform wonderfully, don`t they... Oh, pardon me...
Since we are tentatively offering you a job, we did a little research first.
Frankly, your suits are superior to our own K-1 2 Armored Troopers.
You surpass the K-1 2 in both mass and mobility.
Now, what guarantee do we have...
...that you`ll keep the details of this job confidential?
We work under the counter, as you know.
What alternative do you have, except to trust us?
Quite right. Let me explain.
F. G. Frederick, age 25. A computer technician with USSD.
Name: Cynthia. Age: six. l want you to find these two for me.
Tracking down missing persons? What`s so special about this girl?
Well ... right now, it would be a little...
OK, fine. But l can`t believe this is a mere missing-person search.
The fact is, we believe she was abducted yesterday by a group of Boomers...
...whose leader had infiltrated USSD.
Abducted by Boomers?
We think Frederick infiltrated us, on some unknown person`s orders...
...and, as a member of our staff, was able to mastermind the operation.
Then this Frederick is a Boomer too?
That is something we can`t confirm.
So what are they after?
They demand to know the secrets of an exotic weapon ...
...which holds the key to our nation`s defense.
The orbital particle-beam satellites?
Range-vs.-target alignment error: 1 0-1 0 or less.
Capable of destroying up to a 1 000-km-radius area.
You ARE good!
lt disgusts me to think that there are over 200 of those things...
...floating over my head.
But they insure the safety of our country.
Moreover, even Third World countries possess many satellite weapons.
lt is better to accept the present situation ...
...wherein the balance of power...
...between various nations is maintained.
Please, please wait! We apologize for this discourtesy!
But we really do want to hire you !
ln fact, we`ll pay you an additional 20,000,000...
...if you can expose their organization.
We`re not being tailed, are we...?
Looks safe... but, up above...
Huh?
Would this be good, or just disgusting?
What are you doing?
""SCREW YOU !""
...so, if we add together last night`s Boomer rampage down 42nd St. ...
...and this new job...
...what do we get, Nene?
l wonder if that Boomer wasn`t a decoy, meant to distract the AD Police.
Based on our analysis of the AD Police data Nene`s gathered...
...and our quarry`s movements last night...
...for the time being, we will concentrate on Districts 1 0, 1 1 and 1 2.
Let`s get started, then.
And be sure to report in regularly, too.
Solo action is strictly prohibited.
OK, OK...
Never seen `em before! Did your old man and the brat run out on you?
lt ain`t like that at all !
There`s someone looking for you and Cynthia.
Thanks.
Not a bad-looking woman, this one was. What`s this, an empty?
Who do you suppose she is, Bogey?
How should l know?
How `bout we take her for a ride, and let her tell us?
Who the hell are you?
Boomers?
Who the hell is she? AD Police?
No, l don`t think she`s police.
Fine with me. We`ll get it out of her in due time, when we get to Aqua City.
Aqua City?
The others are probably there already.
Yeah.
Ow! Shit... lf you`re gonna have an accident, make it a little neater...
Thanks for the info... hmh?
l`ll bring it back!
Boomer!
Here you go.
Oh ... oh, no more for me. My stomach is gurgling.
Do you think something`s happened to Priss?
She is a little late, isn`t she.
That`s typical ...
l`ve told her over and over again to call in every hour.
Nothing. Just patrol messages. Looks like the Boomers have the night off!
Hold on ...
...calling Station 1 ! This is ADP-1 02 calling Station 1 !
l`m in pursuit of a Boomer on Route Keihin 5, heading for R-51 !
Subjects are a C-Class Boomer and a racing bike!
A racing bike? That must be Priss!
R-51 ... that`s Aqua City. Let`s check it out.
No. lt could be anyone, not just Priss.
That`s true... all we can do is wait for her to contact us.
But if it is Priss, she won`t have her suit.
She could be in trouble! Damn ! This worries me!
lf only she`d hurry up and call us.
Sis...?
A map of Tokyo...
Cynthia?
Don`t be frightened. Are you Cynthia?
Who`re you, Lady?
l`m Priss. l`ve come to rescue you.
Look, you`ve gotten your clothes all dirty. Are you alone?
Uh-huh.
ls anyone else here?
l don`t know.
Look at this, Lady.
Hmh? What the...? l`ve seen that drawing somewhere before...
l did that.
l see. You`re very talented.
Come on, let`s go home. Your mama and papa must be worried about you.
l have no such people.
You ... you don`t? Then why would anyone want to kidnap you?
What the hell are you?
Who are you?
Look what a mess you`ve made of him.
lt won`t do for you not to cover his repair bill !
That`s right. l`m gonna roast you alive.
Hold it! AFTER she`s told us who she works for...
That`s a hassle. We should kill her without a second thought.
You`ve got one round left. You gonna use it?
Looks like you`ll have to foot the bill for fixing me, too!
So you still don`t want to talk, eh?
Soon, you won`t be able to, even if you wanted to.
We`ve shown you nothing but kindness, but you still won`t chat, eh?
You !
That`s right, the man you`ve been looking for.
Seems they told you l was a computer technician, but...
You`re a Boomer too? Why`d you choose that girl for this project?
Apparently, you know nothing at all about Cynthia.
Wha...?
l don`t know which intelligence agency sent you ...
...but if you don`t intend to talk, it`s the end of the line for you.
Lady?
Who are you?
The Knight Sabers!
You think you`re hot stuff, don`t you !
Not bad. l`d say you`re superior to the military`s K-1 2 Armored Troopers.
You really did a number on my friends. What do you hope to accomplish?
To defend peace and justice, and rid the world of evil.
A worthy objective. But will it hold true for me, l wonder?
Get the girl out of here. Hurry!
After them ! Don`t let them get away!
l guess this means our date is on, huh?
Cut the crap. Right now, l just want to get topside! Which way?
That way!
Thanks!
Damn !
Lady!
Cynthia!
Damn !
This... is a Boomer?
lt can`t be!
You`ve really been beaten up. We`ve gotta get you treated, fast!
Priss? What`re you ...?
ln your condition, you won`t stand a chance!
l went to a lot of trouble to find her!
l will bring her back!
lt`s hopeless! The bastard is absorbing all of Aqua City!
Looks like the Knight Sabers have bitten off more than they can chew.
Sylia! Ain`t this a bad fight!
Priss!
l`m going in !
Do it!
We did it!
You OK?
What`s with that chopper?
Genom !
Genom? Hmh? lt`s Cynthia! She`s a Boomer!
The... the particle-beam satellites?
HELP ME !
Hey, hey, hey, do you suppose we can collect the remaining 20,000,000...
...under these circumstances?
Right, right.
Are you aware of the seriousness of this thing?
Oh, l`m aware all right! 20,000,000! 20,000,000!
That`s not what l mean !
What do you mean, then? We`re talking 20,000,000 here!
Well, l`m exhausted...
OK, let`s get out of here.
Priss!
Sorry to keep you waiting so long for our first date.
l wasn`t waiting for you.
Say no more. Let`s go out to dinner. What do you fancy?
You actually did something that helped people. Thanks!
Brrr! Chilly!
l wonder if she`s a...?
Oh, well.
