Captain, there's something strange stuck here!
Hey, it's a corpse!
Bring it back with us.
It's good luck. If you treat it poorly, it'll curse you.
Captain, what do you mean, good luck?
It's a casket.
What the boys found is probably a casket with a dead guy who's had a space burial inside.
You see,
a space burial is a way of holding a funeral when a person unfortunately dies during a voyage.
He's put in a capsule and thrown out into space.
The belief is that the dead body returns to the infinite sky and becomes a star.
The universe is vast.
Usually, he doesn't encounter anyone and quietly becomes a star without being disturbed.
However, through good luck or bad,
there are dead people that are found and picked up just like that.
At times like that, we give him a full funeral one more time,
since that is the compassion we have for each other as hunters in space.
Everyone will be alone one day in this vast universe.
Most of the time, when that happens, they'd want that to be done for them too.
I don't get it.
I wouldn't think so, not yet. You wouldn't understand yet.
Anyway, Captain Ahab and his group brought plenty of spoils from the hunt,
and that strange item they picked up, back to their hideout at King Kuron.
And we held a funeral for him in our own little way.
But little did anyone know
that the strange item they picked up was going to shake everyone up
and make Captain Ahab lose his composure!
Episode Three From a Cold Planet...
Where will I drift to?
Who knows this?
Even in darkness, if you don't give up
Light will definitely come
Solitude and love are fighting against each other
I will go with the wind, no matter how far
As long as I have a dream
I shall continue to live, no matter what happens
As long as you are here
Just like a barnacle, it was stuck to the bottom of that drifting ship.
We were so surprised when we found out there was something inside.
I was the one who broke the ice and peeled him off!
Everyone was scared stiff. I didn't know you were all so pathetic!
You were shaking in fear too!
What was that?!
But someone said that body's alive.
Yeah! It was you who said that, right, Barba?
I saw, corpse, open eyes.
Really?
Once you're convinced of something, you get really hung up on the idea.
That's an important point.
Be quiet for a little bit! I'm trying to eat!
You can eat later!
How long are you going to be eating?
Binge eater!
But we have to properly confirm whether he's dead or alive.
Yeah, he's pretty young.
We could at least check for his identity.
See, he's not alive.
Looks to be around eighteen or nineteen.
He opened eyes. I saw!
Stop being so persistent!
I saw!
Is that so?!
Saw!
Is there any sort of documentation on the casket?
Usually, they have a date of death or something.
Nope, nothing there.
No pupil reaction, not that there would be.
Cyanosis, zero.
That means this body was frozen right after his death.
Hey, guys, the Captain says it's time for after-dinner poker.
Today, I'm doubling the rate.
This is a chance to redeem yourself if you're losing!
Hey, guys! Stuff the stiff!
See! Eyes, opened!
Captain!
That's a surprise! The corpse came back to life!
Careful, Captain! He's not human!
He's an android!
What? An android?
Stop!
I was surprised.
Had I not been strangled by his abnormal power, I would never have figured out he's an android.
It's a precisely and well-constructed, first-class combat android.
It's best to not get involved.
Androids are strictly the property of the Federation.
But he was thrown away.
If it was an important piece of property,
why would they cram it into a casket and toss it out into a world of darkness?
How would you know if he was really thrown away?
Fate brought us together and we picked him up.
It's my policy to take good care of whatever we pick up.
Well, Doctor, kindly look after him for me.
So, so, so... How is it, Doc? What is his state?
His state?
Yeah, you know, his symptoms or something like that.
Well, I think it's what you call a power down,
since it seems like he was frozen for such a long time.
Plus his bodily fluids have become a little thin as well.
Maybe he had a critical malfunction and was thrown away?
Maybe.
It seems like there was some sort of modification done around his chest and that left a mark.
But I'm a specialist on humans. Basically, I don't know anything.
Do not be afraid, Dew.
You will become me, and I will become you.
We have now been bound by a strong bond.
Dew...
My name is Dew.
Dew?
Dew! Dew! Dew! Dew! My name is Dew!
Dew! Dew!
We're not on the job right now. You don't have to be so obsessed.
But I'm interested.
I've never encountered an android so closely.
Of course not. I've rarely ever associated with them either.
I heard rumors,
but I never expected the degree of perfection to be so amazing!
Android manufacturing technology
is the Federation's Department of Science's most closely-held secret.
Not even a single microchip is subcontracted to civilians, I hear.
Damn! All the information I have is from over a hundred years ago!
201, right?
Yes, perhaps it's the last three digits of his serial number.
At any rate, if I can get access to the Federation Department of Science's computer terminal...
Code name Dew...
If I know that much, I should be able to do something about it.
First-class items are labeled with a really high price tag.
I've heard rumors about people who specialize in buying and selling androids.
Here!
Top-quality fillet steak, even if it is artificial meat.
Eat up! It's best to take in some nutrition.
I'm Atre. This is Lucky, my assistant. Nice to meet you!
What are you doing?! Give it...
I got it, Captain! ESP4678-201... Individual name, Dew!
Bureau of Interplanetary Migration Development, member of the 118th Research Group...
Damn, I can't make out what it says here!
Until 4699, was assigned to individual research on planet Windmill.
Same year, discarded.
Termination of registration.
That android was discarded after all.
How is it? Isn't it good? I grilled it myself!
I couldn't decide between rare or medium rare, but since it's top quality, I finally chose rare.
What are you doing, Atre?!
You idiot! Who feeds steak to an android?!
But...
His food is different from ours!
So what does he eat?
That's, well...
Depends on the android.
Hey, what's your energy source?
He won't eat anything, won't drink anything.
Perhaps that's how he survived harsh environments
for five, no, ten years all on his own.
We humans would never be able to beat that. He's quite a guy.
So how about it? Would you like to work here with us for a while?
I don't know where you came from or where you're going,
but it must've been fate that brought us together.
Ahab Ishmal Ali... Age, thirty-five years and four months...
Eight previous convictions... No Federal citizenship...
Move!
Is there no way we can talk it over?
Beaten! Beaten! Beaten!
You've been beaten, Captain.
Damn, I let my guard down, trying to talk it over.
Really, he is quite the unsociable one.
Together with you, chocolate...
It's selling like mad! Chocolate that stings! Together with you, chocolate...
Besides the fact that Captain Ahab was an expert at whale hunting,
I didn't know much about our captain,
especially his personality and the way he thought.
But because of what happened that night, I think I started to see those things.
What are you guys doing?! There's a big herd of whales approaching!
The other groups are running around like mad to get ready for their hunt!
Well, what about us? Shouldn't we be at the site?
There's nothing we can do about it. The Captain's not here.
What?! He's out again?
He just has to find that android, he said.
It's started again.
Sheesh, again?
Say, what do you mean by again?
Sometimes he becomes possessed.
When he gets stuck on something, it's like he doesn't think about the consequences.
Until he deals with it, you can only leave him alone!
Who am I?
Dew... Yes, certainly I do remember being called Dew.
But I can't remember anything other than that!
What was that?
What was that huge white thing?!
Who the hell am I?!
Where should I go?
I want to go home.
This is our island.
Go someplace else!
Take that! And that! And that!
Hey, it's an android!
What? An android?!
Hey, I know this old man that pays a lot for androids.
Really?
Shall we take?
Let's take.
Bastard!
You!
Die!
Take that! Bastard!
How do you like that?
Let's shake one more time.
I won't believe anyone! Won't believe anything!
Me neither.
But that doesn't mean there's a law that says you can't have fun along the way!
He's back! He's back!
He's back!
He's back! He's back!
Captain Ahab is back!
Captain!
What?
All of King Kuron is out hunting except us!
Oh, really? Sorry about that.
What do you mean, sorry?
No, no, I didn't know you were such hard workers. I'm impressed.
Captain! That's...
Well, then, let's get ready for departure right away.
Captain!
What is it?
Him! Him!
Oh? What about Dew?
No, well...
Hey, Dew! We're leaving already. What are you going to do?
To sea, men!
Nobody asked the Captain why Dew was here;
why Captain Ahab was so particular about Dew.
But anyway, Dew was on the same ship as us.
Where he came from, where he's going, who he really is...
He came not even knowing that.
