Episode 12
Annunciation
All sections, final stage complete.
Verified. All green.
Gate interior is vacated.
Hold countdown at T minus 40 seconds.
True science isn't without a sense of irony.
Hm?
This turned out to be the first "Enterprise" to be sent into space.
We've got a problem!
They say that the President of the United States is gonna talk on TV tonight!
Talk? About what?
Everything.
We just got a report from Washington. The bastard's betrayed us.
He's going to reveal everything he knows!
That the U.S. government made contact with aliens in the 1960s...
...and that humanity and Saint have been in a state of war ever since,
...and he'll even reveal the existence of Management,
...which has hidden everything from the outside world.
This may prove fatal for him.
Oh, is that all?
We control every mass media outlet in the world.
It's no trouble at all.
I'll see to it that the press conference is cancelled.
It's me.
I want two skilled snipers and Mr. Oswald standing by within the hour.
We'll run this as a "lone gunman" crime.
No, I want two snipers.
Well, well. It's been a while since the last time a U.S. presidency ended in assassination.
Test preparations are complete.
Feel free to start. We're done here.
I'll continue, then.
About that Vesper special android that Professor Mephlis was investigating...
I've learned something quite interesting from the data he collected.
Unbelievable. You scientists are beyond any hope of redemption.
Doctor Cyanan, you were after it, too, I assume?
Yes. But there really is something fascinating here.
We'd always thought that the Vesper organization had split off from Saint.
In other words, that they are a faction of moderates among the aliens.
This, however, doesn't seem to be entirely the case.
It's true that we can determine that the majority of V1046R-MAHORO's technology...
...is extremely advanced and is alien in origin.
As for the weaponry installed inside the unit itself, however...
Those were a bit different.
Surprisingly, screws were used in various locations.
These are metric screws, clearly Terran in origin.
Just today, I was able to pinpoint the manufacturer of those screws.
A Japanese corporation... Konoe Heavy Industries.
I see.
You don't seem surprised.
You were already aware of these facts?
I knew. I've known for decades.
Yuichiro... What will your next move be?
It will be checkmate this time.
Destroy!
No!
I'm so scared... H-Help me...
Help me...
Slash?
Suguru?
Ow...
It hurts...
It doesn't hurt.
I shouldn't feel pain.
Suguru?
Where in the world could he have gone?
Hey, Mahoro?
What's the matter?
She's got no shoes on...
Suguru?
Oh, brother...
My target this time is a plain ol' junior high school student.
My missions just keep getting more and more boring.
Don't overexert yourself.
Once you have the fear of death etched into you, it never goes away.
They used to call you the most powerful warrior there was, didn't they?
Was that the first time you ever came close to being destroyed?
Tell me. What did it feel like?
My orders are to kill Suguru Misato.
Not to fight you.
Besides, I've learned a few things about your body.
If I simply wait for his guardian to cease functioning,
...I'll be able to finish my job easily.
Is there really any need for me to take the risk of fighting you?
This is pretty nice.
It's the ultimate weapon that they couldn't remove from your body.
They call it "Shining Darkness", right?
This is a copy.
I really like it.
They fixed you right up, I see.
Vesper's so thoughtful.
If I'd been damaged that badly, they would have just thrown me away.
Unfortunately, I could only repair your exterior.
At our technological level...
With Terran technology, your interior is just...
I'm sorry.
Hokaze...
Did you know this?
They say that when an animal is tamed using electricity,
...it's incapable of ever fighting back again.
I got carried away. Ow...
Come on now, this isn't good.
You're with Management, right?
It's good that there were no fatalities because no one was home,
...but how am I supposed to hide a mess like this from the media?
Well, I'll do it. That's my job, after all.
But I'd really appreciate it if you'd refrain from activities like this in broad daylight.
My apologies.
So, have you located Vesper's headquarters?
That's part of my job, too.
Oh, that reminds me.
The President of the United States was assassinated a while ago.
I'm sorry I'm late, Leader.
No, you're practically early.
I'm going to borrow Slash for a while.
Yes, sir.
I wasn't sure if I should ask you here or not.
As Vesper Leader and as a servant of both humanity and Saint,
...I'm not sure if I should ask you to do this.
Leader?
Take Suguru and run! Right now!
Don't go back to the house! Just go!
I lost my daughter, Yuka, and let Ryo die.
No, I let so many of my people die.
And even you, Mahoro.
I send out everyone to a valiant death,
...and yet I alone have stayed hidden, have survived, and kept working,
...telling myself that the future of 10 billion people is at stake.
I've endured all that.
I don't believe that was the wrong choice.
But Suguru, he's...
Suguru is my only... Suguru is all I have left!
I understand. I won't let Suguru die, no matter what.
Forgive me.
I'm all too aware that I don't have the right...
...to ask you to do such a thing now that you've retired.
No, Leader. You're mistaken.
I, V1046R-MAHORO, will be a Vesper until the day I die.
You... You truly are...
In that this assassination was carried out with so many people watching,
...it is reminiscent of the 1964 Kennedy assassination.
Special Report! U.S. President Assassinated
Yes, that's certainly true.
However, some information suggests that a secret organization...
...was involved behind the scenes in this incident.
I'm sure that the investigation now underway will uncover the truth.
All right, kiddies! Television time is over!
Even if somebody somewhere gets killed, I have to make a living.
Time for afternoon lessons!
This just came in.
Moments ago, we just received the results of a house search of the command HQ...
...of the secret society known as Vesper located in Ebisu, Tokyo,
...conducted by the Metro Police's Public Security Department.
The report states that Vesper was deeply involved...
...in the assassination of the President of the United States.
It appears that many arrests are being made.
Vesper...?
If Vesper's been... That means Mahoro is...
Where's Mr. Ryuga?
Mr. Ryuga?
He's taking the day off because of a cold.
You'd better get back to your classroom, too.
Something happening again...
Something that I don't understand.
Something that's been kept hidden from me.
Mahoro!
Hey, it's Mahoro!
Hey, you're right, it IS Mahoro!
Hey, Mahoro!
She can't possibly hear you.
But she's waving to us.
Hey!
I wonder what's going on?
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Mahoro?
Suguru!
Suguru! Where do you think you're going?!
I don't know. But I think it'll probably be someplace far away.
Hey, you're just gonna leave us behind?
Take us with you! We're best friends, aren't we?!
I can't! I can't get you guys involved!
Not even I have any idea what's happening now.
I don't know anything...
But this... this is something I have to do.
And it'll probably be really dangerous.
I have to get as far away from here as possible.
Suguru!
I came to pick you up!
Right.
Thank you.
You're true of heart, pure of heart, and gentle of heart.
You truly are Saint's soul.
Me? Saint's soul?
The Terrans have finally succeeded in spatial jumping a massive object.
The report says that the ship was carrying machinery and was completely deserted.
That was the Terrans' final test.
Next time, they will certainly send an armed warship.
It is their speciality of war that has allowed them...
...to so rapidly develop advanced spatial manipulation technology to this extent.
This was not part of Matthew's plan.
Matthew's plan?
The Terrans' activities are beyond Matthew's perfect imagination?
That remains to be seen.
Come along, Minawa. Let's go.
Um... What about my big sister?
My body can wait, so please extend her life span first.
Please!
She will be fine.
Don't worry, just focus on getting well soon.
Don't worry.
Vesper's satellites are still tracking Mahoro's brooch.
Looks like their elaborate support structure was all for nothing.
What's baffling is the fact that another satellite is fixed on another target.
Konoe Heavy Industries' Tokyo corporate headquarters...
Yuichiro, what are you doing?
Let us finally mend this bad blood between us.
Mahoro stops functioning in...
Oh, I know. We'll need some fine champagne for that.

satellite poem
I see a smiling face before me.
A chuckle as we speak.
It seems the same as before, but a fresh wind is blowing.
The person who gently accepts me. The person who gives me warm days.
I'll say it without embarrassment. I'll call you my special someone.
I see a smiling face before me.
A place engulfed by a gentle breeze.
I want you to stay with me forever, along with carefree days.
Like this forever.
Together forever.
Next Episode
Vesper...
It means "A single sting of a wasp pitted against a giant elephant".
But even for a high-spirited wasp like that,
...if his fellow wasps and even his stinger were taken away from him,
...all that would be left would be Slash and himself.
He's like a robot copy of myself,
...so I guess the two of us together make a whole man.
Suguru my boy, when it's all said and done, everyone stands alone.
