"If you do not go to sleep, I am going to have the Abh take you away." -- Traditional way to threaten a child in the Lapokh Dukedom, Planet Reshr... --
-- I'm not going to say something as meaningless as 'Go to hell'..." -- Since you were probably thrown out of there anyway" -- A person like you should go to Abh's Hell." Play written by Regist, from "Kevin and Kshatriya"
"Just this once, I will allow you to refuse. Although this is necessary to protect the lives of my comrades, the thing you are about to build is very abominable." "No. Not revealing my name to future generations is enough." "...Very well. I will take the dishonor upon myself..." -- From conversation with the 11th Emperor, Doogner, and unnamed individual.-
Imperial Year 956, The Humanking Empire Abh was making progress in the hunting operation to regain control of the isolated territories.
In the midst of the increasing ruling area of the Empire, Abliarsec Neic Dubleudsr Boerh Parhynr Lamhirh is appointed as the Feudal Lord Proxy of Robnasr II.
And the Deputy Feudal Lord Proxy, Linn Ssynec Rocr Iarlucec Dreuc Haider Ghintec.
However, more that 1,000,000 vicious prisoners awaited them on the surface world.
Robnasr II is a prison planet that holds United Mankind criminals.
Hey, you're taking the wrong path. Did you enter the wrong information?
Hey, what happened?
It's not accepting my input.
It's no use.
I put a lock on it.
So you're one of them, too...
See? I did input it correctly.
Why is a prison guard assisting the inmates in a rebellion?
Everything is for Alkaik.
Is that... the name of a god?
To certain people, it's equivalent to a god.
It is the specialty drug of Robnasr II.
Drugs?!
Yes.
I do not know who started it first, but inmates are producing drugs by using a primitive way of extracting it out of the food.
In other words, those things have gotten into the prison guards, too?
Yes.
Hey! Stop this stupid act right now!
Hand over the gun!
No!
Stop it!
How cruel...
You were friends.
There's something more important than friendship.
Now you understand why I was afraid of the temporary retreat.
In two months, the drug addicts will take over this planet.
It will become hell once that occurs.
You should have told me this before.
I cannot show any weakness in front of an invader.
Supreme Administrator.
Aren't you going to ask me "What are you trying to do?" or "What are you going to do to us now?"
What the coward in you will do is to not stop taking Alkaik...
And the bastard in you will take us to either Dokfu or Angusson,
Very perceptive, Supreme Administrator.
Of course.
If I was not wise, I would not be working as a high-class bureaucrat for the United Mankind.
This car isn't bulletproof?
I didn't think of that.
Hey! Turn back!
I can't turn back now.
Your Excellency, don't you have a weapon with you?
That didn't occur to me.
BATTEL FLAG OF THE STARS II
EPISODE 6: Abh's Hell.
I didn't think that the Administrative Office would be taken over this quickly.
I've kidnapped the Supreme Administrator.
Let your leader know. I've already talked with him about it.
I wonder if I'm just a bonus...
What are you doing, bringing a bonus with him?
Even if you say that, it couldn't have been helped since he came with him.
Let it be.
We have an extra hostage now.
You're kidding me.
Are you trying to cause trouble with the Empire?
If it's just the Supreme Administrator, it will just be an internal matter of this planet.
But if you involve the Empire's peerage in this, you don't know what will happen.
If you think so, release His Excellency.
I would like to say release me, too, but I guess that won't work.
Exactly.
We won't be able to do anything if we release His Excellency, the Supreme Administrator.
But if you cancel the immigration permits, we will think about it.
I will never do that.
You...
Do you like children?
What's with that question? It came out of nowhere...
Yes, I like them.
So?
I like them, too. I have five and they're all over.
But they won't let me see any of them.
That's why I want new children.
If the women leave, I can't have children.
Is something stupid like that the reason you...
What do you mean "something stupid"?!
Now, now. Calm down.
Admnistrator, why don't you speculate on his feelings on why he wants to create a happy family?
If you lived a law-abiding life, no one would have separated you from your family.
Moreover, the people you killed had families as well, and...
We have no interest in the past.
What we are interested in, is the future.
It will be the children who will run around on the land of Robnasr II.
And you are trying to take that away from us.
Um... As I told you earlier,
we can provide artificial childbirth technology...
You need a mother for a child!
Don't you even know that simple fact?
Even if the father gives love to a child, a child only accepts it for a short time.
A thick cloud exists between a father and a child.
However, there is no interference to a mother's love given to a child.
But more than half the Abh do not have mothers.
That's why you are all so twisted.
Your Excellency, we have no intention of accepting the artificial childbirth technology.
Is that okay?
If you have no intention of accepting artificial childbirth technology, give up on having children.
The choice you guys have left is not between artificial childbirth technology and natural childbirth...
It is either artificial childbirth technology or a future without children.
So you really have no intention of revoking the immigration permit?
Stop asking!
If you are not going to revoke it...
I am a high-class bureaucrat for the United Mankind. I will not be giving in to a threat like that...
I'm going to kill him.
Me?!
What's going to come of killing His Excellency?
You're the one who said you didn't want to start trouble with the Empire!
You won't get away if you kill a peerage from the Empire!
There's no need to tell people that I killed him.
He's just going to "get lost" on the surface world of Robnasr II...
With the Supreme Administrator.
And what's going to come of doing that?
Your position will just get worse.
As will the position of the people born on Robnasr II that have already left.
I don't know what's going to happen specifically, but I'd like to find out.
The immigration will be canceled for sure.
How ridiculous. It's true that our position will also get worse, but your position will become even...
Please do not worry. We're betting on this.
For a future where our children can run around happily.
Make a decision!
I refuse!
I lose.
Why didn't you kill this coward?
Even if he is a coward, he is peerage.
It's bad to kill the Empire's peerage.
There's too much risk.
But I won't hesitate in killing you.
Try it.
After you kill me, what are you going to do?
Who will revoke the immigration order?
I will give that order after I become the new feudal representative.
That's impossible.
I have already submitted an emergency succession list to Her Highness, the Feudal Lord Proxy.
Everyone on it is about to immigrate, but as long as they are on this planet,
they will assume the position of the feudal representative following a predetermined ranking order.
Let me guess, the one on the top of the list is Mr. Taumasauhu?
You are very easy to read.
Was I right?
It doesn't matter who it is.
It DOES matter.
Do you think he is the only one acquainted with us?
I do not think so, but...
Taumasauhu is not the type that would use Alkaik.
Oh? So I was correct about Mr. Taumasauhu.
Go ahead and think that!
I will.
And? You're not going to give the revocation order?
That is correct!
Then you're finished.
Stop...!
If you give the revocation order, I will stop.
No... I can't do that!
So Taumasauhu isn't on your side.
If he could revoke the order, you would kill me without hesitation.
You may not believe this, but I hate killing people.
That's the only reason.
Mr. Taumasauhu will listen to me.
There is also the fact that if you revoke the immigration permit...
...it would be the most peaceful way of resolving this.
I have no intention of doing that!
And it's a lie that Taumasauhu is on your side!
You third rate swindler!
I will give you five seconds.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One!
Time's up.
Is he really a military personnel?
Even if he is military personnel, he's a precious peerage.
He's probably never seen a corpse before.
This person...
I didn't like him much, but he was a good person with a sense of responsibility.
So... Why did you kill him?
This is a form of war, my precious Imperial peerage!
You people have killed a lot more better people than him!
I'm surprised that I am being criticized.
That's true...
It might be true, but...
Now, what shall we do?
Contact Taumasauhu.
Oh? Did you believe that lie?
That stubborn man would not drown himself in drugs.
He is a respectable enemy.
Did you deceive me?!
I didn't deceive you, I deceived the Supreme Administrator.
It would have been boring if he died knowing his future affairs would be passed down to his men.
You're one despicable person, Dokfu.
I agree.
Show respect to the dead man.
All of you... This person was an unpleasant man, but he was not a coward.
Setting that aside, let's think about what will happen now.
We still have one hostage left.
Although he is a coward.
No... Having a cowardly hostage is preferable.
Like I said, we can't start any quarrels with the Empire.
We have to say goodbye to this precious peerage.
Though he's offended, he'll probably forget that something like this happened on a measly planet like this.
That's impossible.
Really?
If someone put a gun to my head, I would not forget.
Of course, that might be because I am not a coward.
But we can't risk making the situation any worse.
Do something.
Even if you say that...
Um... I really don't want to stir up any trouble with the Empire, but...
If we threaten you, can you stop the immigration?
I am only a Deputy Feudal Lord Proxy, so I do not have the authority to do that.
Then will you accept me as the feudal representative?
I am only a Deputy Feudal Lord Proxy, so I do not have the authority to do that.
Damn it, this is going nowhere...
So who does has have the authority?
Her Highness, the Feudal Lord Proxy, of course.
She's in orbit right now.
Use him as a hostage to threaten her.
Like I said, that's...
If you can't do it, then you're a coward.
If I cooperate with a guy like that, I can't face my dead mother proudly.
I'll kill you first.
Captain, the next term feudal representative is hailing us.
Do not accept it.
Oh, now Rear Pilot Lynn is hailing us.
Accept it.
It is from his creunoc (terminal bracelet).
Is it you, Your Highness?
Who are you?
I am this territory's newly inaugurated Prime Minister, Dokfu.
So please accept the transmission.
This thing is difficult to handle, although it's nice that it's compact.
Captain, it is from the next term feudal representative...
Accept it.
Explain yourself.
Explanation? Do you mean the explanation of why I have His Excellency's communicator?
Well, um...
Speaking bluntly, we kidnapped him!
Is he alive?
Yes, of course.
As you can see...
Hey.
That is very like you, Jinto.
I will now state our demands.
I will not listen to them.
Could you at least listen to them?
The life of the Deputy Feudal Lord Proxy is in our hands.
Return him.
Immediately.
Well, that may be the best choice...
No, keep negotiating, Dokfu.
You are not the leader?
Then show me the face of your leader.
I'm the leader, for the time being... At least that's what I am trying to be.
I do not remember working under you, Dokfu.
Captain, I have compared the voiceprints.
The other voice is the one who claimed to be the representative of the Eastern Correctional Area and contacted us just once... Angusson.
We won't return this coward even if it's the last thing we do...
That is if the Abh keep taking away the women.
Jinto is not a coward!
He's a coward!
He was scared of a corpse.
Oh, yeah... I forgot to tell you something important.
Mr. Meidein was killed. Follow the ranking order, and decide on the official feudal representative right away...
No talking!
You...!
I wish to go down to the surface world immediately.
I wish to personally teach that outlaw how the Kin of the Stars exact reprisal.
I do not fear death, Abh.
If I cannot have children, I'm good as dead.
So stop taking away the women!
Or else... I will kill him.
You might be able to kill me, but you can't make him come back to life.
Kill? Do not kid me. We are not that merciful.
What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, this is what it means...
Mr. Angusson, Mr. Dokfu.
We think of achieving revenge with honor as one of the reasons for our existence.
And one who is involved with an unjust death of an Abh,
will be taught through personal experience that there is something more horrible than death in this galaxy.
Mr. Angusson, you said that you did not fear death.
What do you imagine that death to be?
If you are imagining a death that is applied via a laser gun,
your expectations shall be betrayed.
But I guarantee that you shall be given an abundant amount of time to understand how wrong your knowledge was.
Once you learn how an Abh's retribution works...
You will plead for any form of death, even if it is filled with great pain.
However, you will not even be given a chance like that.
We do not believe in a religion, but we believe in the existence of Hell.
That is because it truly exists in this galaxy... And it is in our hands.
You shall sufficiently learn how abominable the thing ancient Emperor Doogner and the darkness of scientific technology have created.
Please wait a minute!
Revenge only gives birth to hatred.
Hatred gives birth to hatred,
and revenge will create an endless chain reaction...
It may not produce anything...
but the reputation of exacting retribution has protected us.
I personally have gone to many foreign lands when I was young, and have come across many dangerous situations.
I believe the reason why I am still alive is because this dreadful reputation is thicker than any armor, and it has protected me.
I hope that will also be the case in this situation, Mr. Dokfu.
For both our sakes.
No.
I believe in the teachings of God.
Before I am placed into the real Hell that God made,
it may be good training to experience the imitation that you guys have made.
If you are going to take away the women, I'm going to kill him!
I see. Then before I get there, do not die without my permission.
I am against this.
You are also a coward, Dokfu.
How regrettable. Please contact us again when you change your mind.
Please wait! I'm against this!
Please, please listen to my side...!
Jinto...
I am an Abriel.
An Abriel does not cry.
If I was not an Abriel...
Captain, transmission from the Luises.
It is from Maintenance Wing Pilot Samson.
Accept it.
I'm very sorry, Captain. I should have gone with him.
It is not your fault. It was his own decision.
But...
Do not worry. It is his own fault that he was caught.
And it is my fault for abandoning him.
Are you planning to abandon him?
I am communicating with you right now, expecting to receive an order to go back to the surface world and rescue Rear Pilot Lynn.
Come back.
None of you are experts in ground combat.
But, Captain, they have no intention of fighting the Imperial Star Forces directly.
I do not believe they will fire on me.
Return to your regular duties.
Captain, please, let me fulfill my duty.
I have no intention of taking my men with me. I will go alone.
I'm going to bet on the chance that they will avoid battle.
What they need is a motive. They bungled, and they know it.
But just because they bungled, they cannot bravely admit their mistake.
That's how people are, Captain.
If I go and become the motive, they will admit their mistake and return the boy.
Please let me take that chance!
Be quiet!
Do not say you will go without me.
I have said that you are not responsible.
Be quiet...
Samson Borgh Tiersal Tieruss!
We are going to forget about him.
Now I have a reason to make this coward a hostage.
Hey! Let go of young master!
Can you please explain why?
But we Spoor can see through all of it.
Can you do it, Your Highness?
It was the first time she called me "Your Highness".
