Calm down!
If we start to panic here, it's the same as bowing down to the terrorists!
White House
So you're saying it's true that the Ua virus was used?
Vice President, that is correct.
Deputy Chief of Staff
We've confirmed the issue though images that have been distributed on the Internet.
Do we know which terrorist organization is at fault here?
Secretary of State
It was the DAEDALA Corporation who provided joint security for the event.
According to information we've received from multiple government sources,
an investment house located in the Cayman Islands with ties to the company
was involved in a massive short-sell on the NASDAQ.
Sir, DAEDALA is a front for the Snakes.
How terrible.
The Vice President of the United States
Are they trying to use the US as an excuse for all of this?
Maria!
Canaan...
So this is synaesthesia?
No... Perhaps it's an ability which far surpasses that?
You planning to give us a little show too?
Canaan's here and you're just planning on sitting here and ignoring her?
The death of Canaan is not a part of our current plan, but...
do as you wish.
As I wish?
When you have a pawn that lacks judgment, calculated moves lose their meaning.
Liang Qi-sama!
Liang Qi-sama...
Alphard-sama!
We interrupt this program for a special report.
The Chinese government is currently holding a press conference...
In Shanghai, a detachment from the People's Liberation Army is
delivering a final warning to the terrorists holed up inside the conference building.
If they decide to send in a team...
What's going on?
Is she... Is Alphard trying to start another world war or something!?
I thought you weren't going to get involved anymore?
If she's planning on using that, then all bets are off.
You won't be able to back out.
Individuals infected with the Ua virus show their first symptoms 12 hours after being infected.
Saliva, as well as blood, acts as a carrier for the virus, leading to airborne transmission of the disease.
We cannot ignore the possibility that the couple hundred hostages in the hall may have also been infected.
If they're released, the infection will spread drastically throughout the whole Shanghai area.
General, would it be possible to mount a rescue effort?
It would be difficult.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
It'd be necessary for us to have a way to neutralize the virus,
and now that the hostages have already been infected,
even if we were able to send in a vaccine, it'd be pointless.
The Japanese company, Ookoshi Pharmaceuticals, secretly succeeded in developing an antiviral.
National Security Advisor
I believe the only method we would have of sending it in would be from Yokota.
Will the Japanese government admit the existence of an antiviral?
We'll get it directly from the general manager of Ookoshi Pharmaceuticals.
He goes by the name of...
Oosawa Kenji?
I thought he was no longer in the field.
He'll be here...
That is, if he knows his cute daughter is caught up in all of this.
What was that?
She's a Japanese reporter that you know well.
Huh?
As of this point in time, we aren't receiving any word on what's going on inside the hall...
Oosawa!
That guy...
You can't mean the girl that was with him!?
And on top of that, she's the precious friend of the Iron Fighter Stand-In.
Ookoshi Pharmaceuticals Research Laboratories
So that's Oosawa Kenji?
What's up with all those people?
I didn't hear about this!
Right. Right...
Got it.
It's the Snakes.
The car Oosawa Kenji was in blew up.
Vice President, I believe we should go to DEFCON 3.
General.
Without the antiviral, any rescue effort will be impossible.
I suggest we invoke Article 2.
So we have no other choice but that?
Note: PLA - People's Liberation Army
The person presently in charge of the PLA is Mr. Hu, yes?
Yes.
Get me the Chinese ambassador.
If they dillydally, my 7th fleet will fill the Taiwan Strait!
This is what your "love and peace" is all about!?
You can hear me, can't you? You heinous terrorist leader!
What are your demands?
You can't solve anything without getting to know the other party first!
Tell me. Why are you using the Ua virus?
You really did forget, huh?
Huh?
A girl like you, filled with deceit, is her "Canaan"?
Canaan?
Mr. President, you aren't cold, are you?
That vice-minister should be starting to smell right about now.
I turned up the air, though.
So you finally want to start talking?
Who are you!?
Just some lowly terrorist.
Unfortunately, I don't the time to develop any goodwill with you.
What!?
In just a few hours, you will show symptoms of the Ua virus and die.
But it seems like your outstanding men don't quite like that idea.
It looks like they've prepared a special way for you to die, a way fit for the proud President of the United States.
Y-You can't mean...
That's right. One of those stealth bombers you brag so much about launched from Guam two hours ago,
carrying two-thousand pound guided bombs with it.
No way!
It's all over!
It's all over!!
Enjoy the time you have left.
What a worthless life.
I imagine you've got enough time to reflect back on it.
W-Wait!
Wait a second!
A long time ago, there was a mercenary with some particularly bad timing.
He happened to take up the same job twice.
He was supposed to train two young girls who couldn't even hold a gun to the top of their class.
It's pretty ridiculous story if you think about it.
The bad timing was after that.
Both of those students ended up being called the same thing.
What are you to Canaan...?
You ask something strange;
my name is also Canaan, even though I've now cast that name aside.
No matter what happens, we cannot allow ourselves to submit to terrorism.
That is the will of our glorious President of these United States.
In that case, there is only one action that we should take.
I imagine that their names shall forever live on, etched in the gravestone of anti-terrorism.
I authorize the bombing.
I wonder what'll happen.
Huh?
I wonder if she'll hit rock bottom, unable to save you and prevent the bombing...
or maybe she'll overcome it all and rise to stand before me once again?
At this rate, it looks like the latter.
Alphard-sama, it is time.
Right.
Wait!
Struggle until the last moment. The both of you.
The both of us?
The Chinese government has sent a special peacekeeping unit-
Oosawa Kenji has been killed.
I imagine the White House is going to go with the final solution, having no cards left to play in their hands.
That's just crazy! It'll be an all-out war!
It's not like the Chinese government is completely unified.
It'll probably be a good opportunity for the Shanghai faction.
Damn it, all these guys are nuts!
Is that room still operational?
Shanghai Pudong International Airport
You really haven't been using it at all, have you?
Note: NSA - National Security Agency
When I was doing that joint mission with the NSA, they just went and set it up on their own and left it here.
Can't throw it out as oversized garbage, either.
It's a generation old, but it'll do.
Are you okay, Maria?
Canaan, um...!
Shh!
Now we can contact the outside world.
Let's go.
Wait. There's people infected with the Ua virus below.
With the Ua virus?
And it seems like there's a bomber headed this way...
I don't really get it, but...
I finally got through to you.
You have a good idea or something?
So it sounds like you know what's going on there.
In that case, tell me your current position.
There's a bunch of monitors, I guess.
The main control room; lucky for us.
I'm going to patch that location into the network, so stand by.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to hack into the American NAVSTAR satellite network.
Huh?
Let me go!
You guys are persistent!
Yes. Right now... Suspicious man. Ah. I understand.
Retreat! R-Retreat!
W-What's going on? There's still people in the hall...
Maybe they're sulking because they were tossed aside like garbage?
Step on it! We're doing this!
On it!
We're getting out of here!
Let's go.
Alphard-sama, what about Liang Qi-sama?
There's no time.
You want us to leave her here?
No, I'm throwing her away.
This is truly interesting.
I've connected you to the network.
I'm sending you the data I'm getting from hacking NAVSTAR.
Um...
What should I look for in here?
The function that's been making itself useful in your cellphone.
Note: GPA - Global Positioning System
GPS?
Bullseye.
I'll knock down as many barriers as I can,
but it'll be a while before I can start narrowing down possibilities.
I haven't understood a thing you've been saying for a while now.
If we just simply jam the GPS signal via electromagnetic interference,
the bombs also have an INS, so the error will be, at maximum, 30 meters.
Note: INS - Inertial Navigational System
There's a need to change the target completely.
I really don't get what-
This is a no-fly zone.
Vice president, that's Oosawa Kenji!
Impossible! He should have died!
Canaan?
It's here.
God!
Rescind the order!
What have we done?
It's dropped!
They dropped it!
We should have about 40 seconds until impact.
Please focus.
Canaan...
Make it in time!
Oosawa...
Oosawa!
Canaan...
Canaan!
Are you okay?
Hang in there!
Maria...
What happened to the bomb!?
Um... I guess since we're alive...
Canaan!
Caanan! Caanan! Caanan!
That was amazing! It really was!
What did you do?
All I found was the first step.
That took some serious skill...
I guess I wouldn't get it even if you told me.
But you're really great!
We missed!?
Just before impact,
there was some sort of interference with the GPS guidance device, and because of that it seems it wasn't a direct hit.
Impact was 50 meters in front of the target.
I don't know whether or not we should celebrate the fact that we missed...
That's right. Failure is not an option.
And specifically because it's not an option, we should have finished this in one shot.
Have the bomber pull back!
It's all over.
You're quite the woman.
But what's in it for you playing volunteer like this?
Coming face to face with what happened in the past.
But let me ask you instead...
Do you think forgiveness truly waits for you at the end if you just continously run from the past?
"Do as you wish?"
That's impossible, nee-sama.
I love you so much I can't stay still.
I just keep loving... loving you.
The sun, wind, and fresh air! I'm alive!
Canaan!
I...I can't see the colors.
Huh?
No, these are... the true... colors?
