Space Guardians - Angel Links
Episode 2: A Wasted Fairy Tale
What could that have been...?
Nice fragrance!
Leon Lau sent that.
Leon Lau...
Just overnight, we received 1 0,072 requests for security.
File number 1 23 1 up?
I`d like you to provide me with security...
Oh, my... Nouveau riche...!
Pass.
I want you to provide security for our honorable mayor.
Not the right attitude when asking a favor.
Pass.
Oh, please. I beg of you...
Huh?
I`ve seen this guy before.
What?
He`s a character you see on Oracion TV.
He has a trading business on the side.
Putting on a cheesy act like that!
He just wants us to take the risk without having to pay for it!
Total pass!
I`m sure it was this way...
In the red this month too?!
This and this...!
It`s the fault of Angel Links!
Excuse me.
What is it?
If you`re here to request our service, go downstairs!
Oh...
Our service isn`t cheap.
Actually, I was looking for something.
Do you know where I can find Angel Links...
...the free pirate fighting service?
Right in front of you.
Huh? Oh...
There it is. Thanks.
Hey, hey, hey!
President, it`s just about time.
Is that so?
It`s a hassle, but it`s important for improving the company`s image.
After all, we`re going to be hauling a dangerous load.
Hi, Meifon.
Protect me for the rest of my life.
I`m proposing to you.
Don`t we have any legitimate prospects?!
Meifon, take it easy!
Meifon...
Where are you...?
To lunch.
Security?
I`m sorry, we just get so many requests.
Wanna see?
Huh?
Wow! How cute!
That`s my first child.
Born six months ago.
I`ll finally meet her when I`m finished with my next job.
You must be looking forward to it.
Her eyes are from me, the rest is from the wife.
Good that she resembles your wife.
What brutal honesty.
In the space transport business...
...you work and work and all you get is a pittance.
But you know, when I take a look at her...
...it gives me just the right push.
It`s a hapless business, all right.
My kid`s born, but I can`t go see her.
I want to be done with my next job...
...so I can see my daughter and wife soon.
What?!
You guys?!
Wow, am I ever lucky to get Angel Links for security.
And I like the `free` part.
Are these all gifts?
That`s right.
Uh... I want to confirm the merchandise you want protected.
Yeah, I believe it was wheat...
...or...no, was it beans?
How could you not know?
It`s always like that with us sub-contractors.
They never give us any details.
The plan is on schedule.
Our target is some weapons being handled by private secuity.
We can use it for our ships, or we can sell it on the market.
Big brother, I don`t want any part of this one.
What do you mean?
Your information`s wrong.
It`s wrong?
We hacked into the routing system.
It`s going on another ship.
That can`t be right!
I`ve got a reliable informant!
Informant, huh?
You`ve gotta update your methods, Big Brother...
...in these times of informational war.
Look, I`ve made a living by sticking to my methods.
Well, you don`t look like much with that cream on your face!
How dare you say anything bad about Daddy!
Pouring all that Tabasco sauce on reminds me of that evil vamp.
Don`t you say anything bad about Mommy!
How dare you!
Take this!
Don`t you give your older brother that attitude!
Shut up!
This is...
For the passage to Metanoia on Oracion V...
...the standard configuration will do.
Although we can only use three ships because of maintenance.
I feel uneasy about this.
Well, well...
Gordon Hoi.
I`m pleased that you remembered my name.
Are you setting out now?
Oh, yes. Was it against the rules to ask what route you`ll take?
The route is secret.
After all, you never know when pirates will appear.
After all, there are those who`ll leak that information...
...to have their ship attacked in order to collect the insurance money.
Leon Lau...
I`m assuming that`s just a rumor.
How disreputable.
I happen to be here on business.
It is a pleasure to see you again.
This is...
...Meifon`s memorial...?
Hey!
Hey! That tickles!
Must have been just a bad joke.
Gravity cycle unit! Activated!
Bridge interior inertia control...
General controls, commence control transfer.
Dock drain, complete.
Advance flying unit, launch preparation complete.
3...2... 1...
Take-off!
Advance flying unit, launch confirmed.
Right!
Angel Links! Launch!
Advance flying unit surpassing Mach 1.
Spreading the sound barrier.
Unmanned escorts, Prelude, String, Rhapsody...
...Iinking up with Angel.
Receiving ship identity codes.
Marcotte Co. cargo vessel, positioning to link up with us.
We`ll approach in spherical formation.
I`m coming in.
You`ll reach your destination in no time as you gaze at that picture.
I`m in your hands.
All right, then...
Oh, hang on a second...
What is it?
Why did you take on this job?
Let`s see.
Maybe because of the look on your face as you gaze at the picture.
Huh?
You had such a gentle look.
Gentle look?
She`s actually ten times cuter than the picture...
...no, a hundred times cuter!
You can have a good look when we get there.
Stupid little brother.
Stupid big brother. Stupid big brother.
Where are the real goods?
Right over here!
The Gordon squadron accelerating steadily.
Estimated time to destination is 47 minutes.
Good.
It looks like we`ll arrive without a hitch.
But it sure is quiet out there.
Isn`t that a good thing though?
On the other hand, I`m uneasy when it`s too quiet.
I wish you wouldn`t say that.
Large vessel! We`ve been locked-on!
All hands! Prepare for battle!
Guard the cargo ship, and attack!
Give them a warm welcome!
Enemy: 1 Striker ship!
Ether drift, plus 0.01 degrees!
Commence attack!
We`re 1 0,000 kilometers off course!
How dare they strike at us head on...
...and with only one ship!
Enemy Striker ship is retreating!
They didn`t offer much resistance.
Can`t be!
That ship was a decoy!
What did you say?!
Go!
What are you so nervous about, Suzie?
What`s going on?!
Six Grappler ships approaching fast!
How sneaky...
So they lured us into this space region.
Let`s wrap this up at once with the Oracle Cannon!
We can`t use it here.
Oracion V is too close.
The Angel is the escort to this.
The treasure`s got to be over here!
Even the mighty Angel can`t do close battle in an asteroid field.
Come on! Return fire!
We can`t!
All gunports are damaged!
Prelude has been taken out!
Close quarters battle is the one weakness of the Angel.
At this rate...!
The spherical formation has unraveled!
Move the Angel forward!
If they get in close to us...
Impertinent!
They`ll get us at this rate!
There must be a way...
Serge, Nicola!
Put the ship in retreat and fire Missile #6!
Aye-aye!
Meifon! Prepare the Links Cannon!
Got it!
The Angel is sinking! We`re taking the treasure!
At this rate...
At this rate...!
I`ll do my best, for her.
I`m going to...
I`m going to protect you for her!
This is Angel Links.
We`ll explain later.
Marcotte vessel...!
Jettison your containers!
Marcotte! Hurry! Hurry!
I`ve jettisoned the containers already.
What?!
The containers! Go after them!
Now!
Locked-on!
Links Cannon! Fire!
What...?!
Get `em!
What...?! What`s that...?!
The guardian`s ring?
I`m so sorry about your cargo.
Oh, well. It`s over and done with.
Don`t worry.
But...
Good work.
I feel bad about blowing your cargo like that.
Not at all.
You completed your job.
Huh?
What do you mean?
You didn`t have the cargo in the first place.
Those were empty containers...
...you were hauling.
What?
That`s Valeria Vertone of the former Einhorn Empire.
The weight of the cargo and ship didn`t figure properly.
Then what was he for?!
He was the decoy ship meant to fool the pirates.
And he probably didn`t know as well.
To avoid any information leaks to the pirates.
Then, where`s the real...?
Damn...!
That`s exactly right.
Our business here is complete.
Please sign here.
Who do you think you are?!
If we didn`t escort him...
...he could`ve died!
How dare you play with someone`s life!
It`s okay.
After all, this is normally the kind of work we get.
But when it goes well, I get my money.
Then you`re a fool too!
What if you die?! Wasn`t your baby just born?!
That`s because...
That`s because, for people like us to get ahead in the world...
...we have to cross some dangerous bridges.
