Was any of this for good or bad? I really couldn't say.
But, like most people I guess...
...I was raised in the same country I was born.
My family was middle-class, pretty ordinary.
And so, I've never known the troubles of the rich...
...or the hardships of the poor.
To tell you the truth, I could really care less.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Navy Pilot.
You had to join the Navy if you wanted to fly jets...
They were so fast... Flew so high...
For me, there could be nothing better than flying.
But, two months before I was to graduate from school...
...I saw that my grades weren't going to let me do any of that.
And so... I ended up joining the Space Force...
I just want to know two things.
Where have you been?! And why aren't you in dress uniform?!
Might I assume the first question to be in reference to my past?
Stop that, damn you! I'm asking you why you're late!
Why do you always have to play the clown?
You don't think this is serious? Coming late to a comrade's funeral!
I was taking a nap on the roof and overslept, sir!
A man in your own unit is dead, but you...
You call yourself a soldier?!
Forget it, just get in line.
- Hey there. - Hi.
Where've you been?
Just thinking about some stuff.
Why aren't you in dress uniform?
Knock it off. I can dress any way I want to.
Heh, the General's real broken up about this.
"Coming late to a comrade's funeral!" He killed the guy!
It was a test accident, right?
Yeah, I hear the police are coming today.
They think the urine bag ruptured during the space suit test...
...and shorted the whole thing out.
Space suit? What's that?
You don't know? It's something you have to wear in space.
He actually wants to launch somebody up there.
Manned artificial satellites.
It's a load of crap.
Yeah, like all of his plans.
He's not giving up, though. The next step's gotta be...
Space Force anthem, prepare!
Space Force! Anthem! In unison!
"Riding high the solar wind, soaring through the sky. "
"In the darkness of the galaxy, we spread our wings to fly. "
"Where our path will lead us, we have yet to see. "
"The time of Judgement for us all is drawing ever near. "
Majaho got some bread in the mail. Big box of it.
Why bread?
'Cause his family owns a bakery where he lives.
Bread, huh?
Yeah... A bakery'd be nice. You think they'd hire me?
Count me out. Probably couldn't get another job on the outside.
This place is great.
At least we don't have to worry about running out of food here.
We get hungry because we live. We eat to keep on living...
I don't wanna die here...
OW!
Lots of free time, eh Shiro?
I didn't realize your job here was to take naps!
You know what this is? A one deem coin.
It can buy you a loaf of bread or a bottle of oil.
But they say a Khozel bandit would kill a man for one of these.
So, if you think about it, it's worth quite a lot.
Overtime pay. Getting an advance should make you weep with joy!
And now from you I want 300 push-ups.
And after that I want 500 sit-ups!
Tekatta! Tekatta! Get it while it's hot!
Why'd you come in uniform?
Had to. With all that extra work, I didn't have time to change.
Disgraceful. Keep away from me.
Any gal who sees you in that thing'lljust laugh at you.
Any lady who's heard of the Space Force would laugh.
The fliers who never leave the ground...
Hell, I'd laugh.
To the spaceship, and our friend who died for her!
You think the old man's really serious?
People wouldn't be getting killed if it was just a game.
But most people think of manned space flight...
...as something of the far future.
I don't think our Force'll last that far into the future.
I just hope it'll hold out 'til I can decide on a new job.
Ask Majaho for one.
Hit! Hit! Four, three.
Son of a...! Ohh, two more down.
That's a strange uniform.
It's for the Space Force.
Space Force? What, are we being attacked by spacemen?
Well, Lt. Colonel?
Knock it off! You're a maJor, for God's sake!
Two, three, two, one, two!
For crying out loud, Matti! Pick on someone else for a change!
Oh, I give up.
Simmer down. The night's just getting started, eh?
Hey, gorgeous! Look over here!
Hey, baby! Don't you hear me? Hey!
Come on!
This way.
And don't worry about the money. My treat.
I just want to go to sleep.
You came!
Tohn! Tohn! You're here!
No, Matti, you mean. Matti!
Matti, Mattimattimatti. I'm glad you came.
I like your perfume today. Ummm, delicious.
C'mon, I called a friend to help out today.
C'mon, c'mon!
Uh, hey! You said you'd treat...
- A friend, huh? - Mimi! Tohn's here!
Way to go, "Tohn."
The day of judgement approaches!
Those who live in sin will surely be cast into hell!
The man who ignores the path of righteousness...
Who takes no responsibility for his sins...
Who feels no shame for his transgressions.
These are all sins in God's eyes!
Thank you.
God is weeping for us.
The day of finaljudgement which was promised after mankind first...
...stole the flame from heaven's ovens is drawing ever near!
We must all be prepared for when that day arrives...
Oh, it's you. Where're the others?
It's a holiday today. You think they'd come back?
" Please come?" What, a new whorehouse open up?
Ooh, and there's an address, too!
Ahh, knock it off.
Can I use your foam?
" He who has to beg for foam is doomed to be a beggar."
Oh, and you really shouldn't sleep in a dead man's bed.
It's bad luck.
Hello, little guy. You live here?
Excuse me? I came because I saw your pamphlet.
COME IN! Come in! Come in! Come in!
Come right on in! You're just in time.
I was about to make some tea.
Here, please! Have a seat!
I've got some terrish cooking on the stove.
You were able to find the place all right?
Uh, yeah. I took the trolley out here.
My name's Riqunni Nonderaiko.
Shirotsugh Lhadatt.
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Lhadatt.
Please, just call me Shirotsugh.
Okay, Shirotsugh. This is wonderful.
Someone actually came! How do you take your muuk?
Strong please. Nothing in it.
So, how old are you, boy?
Oh, Manna's a little girl.
Manna, bring the nice man a plate.
Thanks...
I've never seen Manna take to a stranger so quickly before.
Here we are.
Kids just like me, I guess.
There you go. Sorry if it's overdone.
No, no. Terrish tastes better when it's a little overcooked.
Really, it looks delicious. Let's eat!
The tea smells really good, too...
That was good tea.
But you're right, times really are terrible nowadays.
Adults can no longer judge what's right and wrong.
Exactly! And they aren't bringing kids up right, either.
The whole world's just screwed up.
God's hand foretold all of this... Oh, by the way!
Yes?
You haven't said what's bothering you.
Yeah, well... There was an accident where I work.
I see...
And a good friend of mine died because of it.
That's terrible. You must be really upset.
Yeah, and now I can't seem to eat or drink or do my job or any...
So, what sort of job do you have?
Uh, well... Have you ever heard of the Space Force?
I'm sorry, but...
You've never heard of it. I'm not surprised.
- You're a soldier, then? - Well, we don't fight or anything.
We're just training to go into space.
Oh, space? You mean to the stars?
Well, not quite that far.
What a wonderful job you have!
Huh? You think so?
Yes, I think it's great!
To be free of the troubles of this world...
To go to the unspoiled world of the stars...
Don't you think that's wonderful?
Yeah... And we're the only Space Force in the world, too.
I've never had such a wonderful holiday.
To think such a marvelous person would come and visit me.
Do you think you can tell me about the stars sometime?
Sure. It'd be a pleasure.
Our children will one day live among the stars, in peace.
Yeah, and space is so vast... Borders'll be meaningless!
It's fantastic! Soldiers who don't make war!
Well, we've got a different purpose...
...than the guys I used to see fooling around on the lake.
A higher purpose.
We're the ones who have to clear the way to peace for all mankind.
This world's too small for the humanity.
From here on, it'll be the age of space!
The chief causes of launch failure may be divided into two categories:
Human error and mechanical failure.
Morning! Oh, the morning test films.
These are the only funny movies we ever get to see around here.
Hey, you borrowed my bike last night, didn't you?
Yep, sure did. Night air felt really good.
Would it have killed you to put some gas back in?
Honestly, you worry about such little things.
We are the proud officers of the Space Force.
Trifles he worries about!
We're doing big, important stuff here!
Think he cracked his head last night?
Dunno.
Gentlemen, you are the proud members of the Space Force!
It was 30 years ago that Khi Lei Kerass first published...
..."The Possibility of Galactic Travel".
20 years before the creation of the Space Force. The near past!
A great deal has become possible in those 20 years.
It was really just a drain dish off of some flowerpot.
Our first "satellite!"
Guess they just didn't have anything else handy.
Since last year's failed launch of our fifth satellite, Ghida...
...the scope of the program has been drastically reduced.
Many voices in the House of Nobles call for our abolition.
We've already lost half our year's budget!
I heard we lost our facilities and our appropriation.
That's it, then.
We might as well start looking for new jobs.
However... However, gentlemen! Now is the time to show them all!
To show them we possess the means...
...to allow mankind to set sail into the vastness of space!
How is it a space warship if it'll only be carrying people?
That's what the General's calling it.
Space is vast! It is out there that our future lies!
A peaceful world we must open to our posterity.
People? How're they gonna launch off something that heavy?
It's impossible.
If we don't want to spoil the place, we shouldn't fly out there at all.
I have just put in motion the human race's first manned space program.
We all gotta die sometime.
Yes, there have been martyrs to our cause.
However, we must carry on past that sorrow!
Carry on towards the future!
I'm here to ask for a volunteer to be our nation's first Space Pilot.
I won't force anyone.
But is there not one brave man among you...
...who would challenge the world of the stars?!
I volunteer, sir!
Are you nuts!?
Uh, ahh... And you are...?
Shirotsugh, sir! Shirotsugh Lhadatt, sir!
Ah yes, I remember now. Uh, anybody else?
Very well then. I'm pleased you've volunteered.
Come to the conference room later on.
Anybody...?
Never mind.
Dismissed!
What did you do that for?!
- Can you believe this guy? - Don't get involved!
Don't do this, please! Think of your family!
You're gonna die, man! You're just gonna die!
Think about it! How many guys from when we joined up...
...were left to reenlist? Just you and me, right?
Matti, we're being asked to give our lives for science.
We're making history here! Shouldn't we do the best we can?
To be honest, I really wasn't expecting too much from you...
...but you are doing much better than I thought you would.
That's not to say you've been doing well.
Oh well, it really doesn't matter.
At this rate, the project should really start moving in earnest.
I'll be leaving for the capital soon.
To face the lions in their den, so to speak.
I'll be busy...
...but our Force'll finally have its space warship!
Oh? So it'll have guns on it?
Well, I suppose it could carry stuff like that.
More importantly, it'll be full of...
...clever gadgets designed to keep you alive.
Although we may have to skimp on a few of those...
What else was I going to tell you...?
Oh, I've forgotten what I was going to say! Dismissed!
Dismissing, sir...
Ah, wait! Waitwaitwait! I just remembered.
Oh, what was it...?
Of course! Fly!
G force training in an airplane. You've never flown, have you?
Where do I get an airplane?
Borrow one.
From where?
You moron... From the Air Force, where else?!
Ooh, check out the fancy suit.
My legs feel like they're in a vice!
- Is this the parachute? - What's this thing do?
Quit messing with it!
- Whoops. Came off. - Now hold on here...!
Hey!
Yeah, yeah...
Not there. Front!
Oh. Of course.
Greto 32, clear for takeoff! y ou are clear for takeoff!
They're back.
You okay?
- You don't look so hot. - I think I'm gonna throw up.
What's wrong? Did he eat something bad?
And after he came so far to play, too.
Hey, wait. Matti!
Hey... Did you say play?
What about it?
It's work!
So, there's someone up in space for you guys to fight?
Well, just tell us if you find any enemy space guys out there.
So we can shoot 'em down!
Hey, hey. Let's have a little respect here.
Those two assholes happen to be a lt. colonel and a major, you know.
OH?! You guys are soldiers? How terribly rude of me!
I thought they were some kids here to play with our toys!
Why, you little...
Guys, I can't... I really don't think I can handle this...
Wait a minute... Wait...please...
You'll be sorry...!!!
Bad mood, Matti? It's all over town, practically.
How you got your ass royally kicked by some sergeant.
If you're gonna fight anyone, make sure it's an officer!
He didn't beat me!
Did you get him good?
I took it easy on him.
- It was all your fault! - Ow!
Okay you two. This here's the Space Force's secret factory.
You're gonna love this, I promise.
Oh, this is great! This is incredible!
Those air force guys would shit themselves if they saw this!
Right, that's it then. We'll send you up in this monster.
Go and die! Go and die with a BANG!!
This is the Space Travel Society...?
Yeah, they've been at this for a while now.
What?! You're telling me those old farts did all this?
Old farts? Old farts, huh?
Well what does that make you, you little shit?!
This is Dr. Gnomm. He's just returned from the North Pole.
I was flying rockets...
...before you were even an itch in your daddy's crotch!
The Doc's a pioneer in engine nozzle design.
Would all personnel assemble, please?
I've found a problem. A serious flaw in these plans.
Well?! Let's have it!
It's the third stage. I hear you're putting a hydrogen engine in there.
Since when do we actually have a working model?
Well, we don't, yet. But there's a first time for everything.
You can't run an engine test using that plan!
We feel a hydrogen engine would work best...
...for the third stage's acceleration.
It's rash!
Quiet! You don't know what you're talking about! Quit complaining!
He's the one who's gonna fly it. He should decide.
Oh, and what does he know about it?
Just that I'm for the safest way. I don't wanna die this young.
Ah, youth! Youth is overrated!
It shouldn't be underrated!
What, then? We can't redesign anything below the third stage.
Everything from here to the head of section four is outmoded design.
I can show you how to reduce construction weight...
...and improve the engines' combustion efficiency.
When could you have it all ready?
Next month.
When next month?
The fourth of Poh.
Fine, we'll wait 'til then. All right, that's that.
That's it! Everyone back to work!
You throw a rock, it falls to the ground. That's common sense.
Now throw that rock really hard, towards the horizon...
...and it falls to the ground really far away.
Keep throwing your rock harder and harder...
...and it'll eventually reach a speed where...
...it falls towards the horizon without ever landing.
What you have then is an artificial satellite.
Instead of continuing to rise...
...it falls along the curve of the planet.
Since the atmosphere would keep you from maintaining this speed...
...you have to fly way up high and actually get out of it.
When it's time to land, you simply skim the atmosphere and slow down.
Just a moment's deceleration and back you fall to the ground.
In short, we're working day and night to build the first machine...
...designed to go up just so it can come down again.
The description makes it sound ridiculously simple...
...but I think I like its basic simplicity.
These old guys and their "Space Travel Society"...
They can't talk straight about anything.
Doc Gnomm though... He's different.
Of all these old men, he's the only one you can talk to.
I don't know what we'd do without him.
Torom, Marhida, Gana, Moraa... My mighty adventurers.
- They're machines. - Oh, now what?!
Making light of manufacture? It brought equality to...
...the masses by increasing the distribution of property!
Where are the names from?
Torom's a fish which lives in the Eska sea, just below the equator.
Marhida is a man-eating whale from the North Sea.
Gana is a poisonous snake from the Yvsak River.
Ready!
Right!
All of them were once deadly enemies.
But now they're my sons.
Oh. I thought they were girls' names.
There're a few of those, too.
And now Dhotonridl is born.
Since I'm in charge of the parts, I named them all.
Looks like the only part around here I didn't name is you.
Who... Who's there?
"The Prince of Space has come to pay a call."
Shirotsugh...
Good evening!
Good evening, Shirotsugh.
Hey, what gives? Why's it so dark in there?
They've turned my power off.
What?! That's terrible!
It's all right, though. Candlelight's prettier, anyway.
And Manna's making all sorts of interestingly shaped candles, too.
Say, can you come out? The sky's full of stars tonight.
I can tell you about the stars, like you asked me to.
Just a sec.
Come on, Manna. Let's go out and look at the stars!
Now then, you see the Prow star up there?
It's 70 years away at the speed of light.
The light we're seeing now left that star 70 years ago.
So if I was 70 years old, then the light produced...
...on my birthday would just be getting here now.
Stars!
Uh, yeah. That's right.
I wonder what our world must look like, from out among the stars...
Oh yeah! I've got something to show you.
It's a satellite photo of our world.
It's black...
No, no. The white part's the ground.
It's a radar image, so the picture's not very clear.
Still, from that far away...
...our city lights would probably look like stars.
The fires of our wars, as well.
So many of our sinful lights...
...mixing among the pure light of the stars...
Salute!
A Holy Book? But, I...
I know. But I still want you to have it.
Something to read if you ever feel troubled by anything.
Well, I'd rather you were with me when I read it.
Let's make some tea.
Manna.
You don't let yourself have any fun, do you?
Can't you and God work out some sort of a compromise?
Compromise?!
I mean, be reasonable.
I think I'm quite "reasonable!"
And that, that "compromise" you're talking about...
...is what's made the world what it is today!
A lot easier to live in.
Manna! I said we were making tea now!
Oh, what's wrong? We weren't fighting.
Forgive me. See, we've made up already.
Voila! A little present from Papa.
A real, live training simulator.
Me first!
Wow, this thing's cool.
85 million radeks, man. 85 million!
That's a lot of money, so don't break it.
Truth is, we really don't have the money. Gonna be fun...
...getting the Assembly to approve this appropriation.
Huh? They still haven't approved it?
So where're we getting our money from?
Oh, here and there.
Here and there?
You really don't know?
Well, being part of the nobility...
...the General's got a lot of pull with the royal family.
So there's this slightly illegal business he has on the side.
- With just his one telephone? - One phone's all he needs.
No one's there to take calls. You see, from this year on...
...the royal family buys its business cars from Miguren Motors.
The same Miguren Motors that's paying for our rocket.
That's how it all works.
Oh, sure. That's how it all works.
You're totally lost, aren't you?
Idiot!
I'm here today to announce the Space Force High Command's plans...
...for the construction of our nation's first space warship!
That was all of the statement the Space Force's commander made.
Also present at the ceremony was his Royal Highness Prince Toness...
...who briefly addressed the crowd.
As the protector of the citizenry...
...of the Honneamano-Jikein- Minadhan federated kingdom...
Don't stand there!
There, it's back.
You're such a hick!
The most important equipment in that spacecraft is you.
Air, water, heat...
It will provide you with conditions which differ...
...not in the slightest from the room you sleep in at night.
In return, you give it the proper instructions.
That's your relationship with it in a nutshell.
Trying to muscle it around won't do you any good.
Move calmly, as a part of the machine.
As delicately as possible, as intimately as possible...
6000, 6500, 7000, 7500. Stage two ignition.
Nominal!
8000, 8500.
9000, 9500!
Space Force headquarters... Yeah.
Phone call. It's a girl.
Yes, yes. Hello?
Shirotsugh? For God's sake, get out here fast! Help me!
Hey, what do you think? I just finished.
Pretty slick, huh? Wanna take her for a spin?
Great, you're gonna try it! I changed the ignition switch.
What do you think? Runs pretty good, huh?
Space Rider! Cool!
The men from the power company kept coming, day after day...
The house belonged to my aunt, so I thought everything was okay.
But the men...
My aunt owed people money.
So? So?! That doesn't make what she did RIGHT!
Power plant...?
Right, we'll take 'em to court! The state'll pay for the lawsuit.
Or I will, if you want. If you need a lawyer...
No, it's all right. Really, it's all right.
I don't want her to see any more fighting.
Her parents were like that.
Just fighting, day after day...
Stop it! Stop it, please!
I'm sorry I called you out here for something like this.
Something like this? But it's... It's...
There's a church not far from here.
There are people there who will help.
I think I can stay with them for a little while.
And Manna can make some friends there, too...
All right...
Come on, let's dig your stuff out.
...splendor is most evident in the famous Nedens castle. This beauty...
Today will be fine, fair this afternoon...
...with clouds moving in later tonight...
The Age of Fire. When God created man...
...man was like the animals and did not possess fire.
It is with fire that God lives forever.
Dao stole a burning branch and ran off as fast as he could.
But the Protector of the Ovens had foreseen this...
...and had cursed the fire.
Dao carried the fire home, and tried to use it like God himself.
And Dao's seven sons were killed.
These were mankind's first deaths.
And God appeared before Dao and gave a prophecy.
" Man," he said, "you have been cursed."
"Your children shall struggle and quarrel and live in sorrow."
"Their misfortune shall spread to the ends of the land."
"They shall murder one another until the end of time."
You're sure it's safe standing this close?
Ah, we're fine, we're fine.
The old engines would blow every time we throttled up!
They did that for 20 years. Sorta like real sons.
Insolent, and a real pain in the ass sometimes!
You can tell kids are in a bad mood when they don't eat breakfast!
Yeah! Even when they turn on their old man...
...they don't do it immediately. They'll give some warning first.
One, four, five.
One...four...five...
So, you weren't hit by any fragments?
Not a one.
Oh sure, you get away safe and sound...
...and the Docwinds up in the hospital.
Serves him right, leaving me there like that.
Next one's five, six.
Five, six. Well, thanks to this...
...getting in and out of the factory's gotten complicated.
One, three, four. Why's that?
Because they think the radicals may have done it.
Radicals?
The guys who oppose the King's decisions.
There've been a lot of protest letters lately.
News to me.
It's smoldering, day after day.
And now some idiots are actually yelling for random bombings.
Next.
Uhh... Three, four, five.
What? Gimme that...
Hey, that's the second row!
For crying out loud...
Sorry.
Better get with it, or else it won't work...
Hey, someone get the cat and his keeper off the electronic brain!
Don't you have a job?
Pulled an all-nighter last night. The old guys were at it again...
Quit shakin' it!
The Doc, he's... He's dead!
When?!
A little while ago, at the hospital.
The Space Force's gala promotional reception...
...welcomed a royal guest from the capital.
Also appearing tonight was the world's first astronaut...
...Lt. Colonel Shirotsugh Lhadatt.
That dress uniform he's wearing really suits him.
When Prince Toness asked "Doesn't going into space frighten you?"...
...he lightheartedly replied "It really hasn't bothered me. "
You in there! Have you ever had to worry about money?
Do you know what it's like to be pissed on by the world?!
It's getting colder and colder for us.
As winter comes, we'll tighten the blankets around our bodies...
...and shiver in the cold. Nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat!
Outta the way! Lemme through!
Who's this project helping?!
We should see more bridges being built!
At least building those'll give jobs to our old men and women!
What's with these guys out front?
Protest. It was hell this morning...
...what with all that fighting and begging going on outside.
So what's the unemployment movement want with us?
No, no. It's the anti-war movement.
They're saying we should be building bridges and not rockets.
Like I said, the unemployment movement!
Spend all our money for a bunch of bridges we don't need, huh?
Out in the country, we still use ferries, for God's sake!
I'd take the bridges over a space warship.
At least those wouldn't kill anyone...
Hey, hey, hey, don't let 'em get to you.
They're just saying all that because they want jobs.
This rocket will be used for war.
You can use bridges for war.
You're the one who started all this!
Me? I doubt that.
Then who started it?
Hey!
Lt. Colonel Lhadatt's morning begins with a glass of fruit Juice.
After light training, he eats a hearty breakfast...
...of soft bread and broiled kress fruit.
Right, because they're good for you.
Shirotsugh Lhadatt, ladies and gentlemen.
ASSHOLE!
Hey! What's...?!
Matti! You...!
Good, there you are. I was just reading the paper...
Ew, you're wet. We've got trouble!
It says here that the launch'll be from Kanea.
When was the launch site moved so far south?
Oh, didn't you know?
We can't use the army's launch site after all.
600 ren west of Kanea?! That's over the border!
No, it's all right. Ah, there's a map...
It's right on the demilitarized zone!
No, no. This way it's 3000 ren closer to the equator.
It'll be easier to make it to orbit, you see...
Yeah, I know! My God, how could they?
They're sending us to a powder-keg...
...to launch off the world's biggest firecracker!
Didn't anyone try to stop them?!
It wasn't our decision. It was the ministry's.
Ministry? What minis...? The Defense Ministry?!
...norinosska, zuiben mattoishi suru rekujishieto.
Uh, kurufateeji onla laku...lakure...
Lakuretoria!
Just speak in the vernacular. Be yourself.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
But really, there's nothing more for me to say.
You're finished? Then let me speak.
As we've said, we just don't see the appeal of your rocket.
Space travel? We're concerned with the military here.
Who would invest in something that just flies into space?
It serves no military purpose at all.
There's something wrong with the very existence of the Space Force!
Well...but...then why let the project get this far...?
We needed to find a way to properly end the program.
The royal family, the Transportation Ministry...
The roots of your Space Force reach into many areas.
Any regrets they had are ten years forgotten.
But also forgotten was any concept of where to go with it.
It never established a purpose for itself, and so now we must end it.
But, this project is attracting the attention of every nation.
Even the Republicwants our rocket information.
So, to launch it right on the border of enemy occupied Rimada...
So go ahead! Launch it, or whatever you please.
We just want for it to be seen by the Republic's forces in Rimada.
And what will they do with a lovely rocket right before their eyes?
Steal it!
Steal it. So it will have a purpose, after all.
A border violation via military force.
Outright theft of property... It'll be quite a loss.
Reparations will have to come from somewhere, of course.
The only real question is whether or not they'll actually attack.
Don't worry.
They've quite an investment in your rocket over there as well, eh?
- Ready? - Aye, sir!
We begin. y ou're cruising along, about to take a well deserved shit.
y our altitude is 3000, speed of 200 ren per second...
...and the next contact zone is far over the horizon.
Internal pressure abnormality in oxygen tank one!
Primary lines, closed. Activating auxiliary power.
Three! Suspending nitrogen supply!
Inertial systems reading abnormal acceleration.
Resetting multifunction systems. Capsule pressure, unchanged!
Good, you've earned your paycheck.
Next, crisis situation #5-7-5.
The City of Fire.
My son, soon you must depart the marketplace.
Here, even good things are stained with blood.
God will be silent no longer.
This city of filth was created by fire.
By fire it shall be destroyed.
Because evil exists, no living thing can ever be made pure.
And so, my son, even you must be prepared...
Stop!
Calm down, dammit! You little...!
