THE SHIP SETS SAIL, BUT MISGIVINGS REMAIN
All right! I've got my chance!
What the?
Let's go! To the ends of space!
Lieutenant Yamamoto, I have a feeling this new posting...
...will be a great ordeal for you...
...but I've every expectation you'll do well.
Yes, sir! As a humble member of the United Planets Space Force...
...I stand ready to destroy the Raalgon menace!
I'm sure. However, the enemy to fear is not the Raalgon.
Sir?
The enemy...
The enemy lies within.
Within?
The enemy lies within!
Ladies and gentlemen of the destroyer Soyokaze...
...as I take on the duties of first officer here...
...I wanted you to hear those words!
The enemy lies within! Those words were said by Admiral Mifune...
...the commander of the outer galactic fleet.
I'm sure you can understand the meaning of those words.
The enemy within...
It is the weak heart within us which fears death.
A soldier must not fear death on the battlefield!
Talks big for a greenhorn.
Don't be rude, Cryburn. He IS the first officer... For now, at least.
Dropship pilot Andressen and the Marines...
Bear in mind that proper decorum...
...is the mark of a true UPSF soldier!
I expect your attitudes to improve before the new captain arrives!
It'll be fun knocking him off that high horse. Right, Skipper?
I still can't believe you're both coming with me.
But you saved our father's life, Mr. Tylor.
It's just natural we'd want to repay your kindness.
But there's two of you and only one of me.
It'll get to be too much eventually.
Oh, Mr. Tylor! There it is!
There's the Soyokaze!
Oh? Where? Where?
Oh, my...
You mean that junk heap?
These are the designated coordinates.
Ship's transponder code checks out.
That's definitely the destroyer Soyokaze.
Soyokaze - "The Gentle Breeze"
Above all, the captain is the very embodiment of the ship!
That is what I believe!
If he tells you to die, you should do so happily!
I, your first officer, expect you all to believe this ideal as I do!
For he is the captain, and he's earned that title!
This way, Mr. Tylor!
Hi. What's up?
Well, well. Everyone's here.
Oh, Lieutenant Yamamoto. It's been a while.
Did they assign you to this broken-down destroyer, too?
You! You're that guy from the pension department!
Well, what do you know? If it isn't Yuriko!
So, what brings you to this junk heap?
Please don't touch me.
I see you haven't changed.
But I still think you're beautiful when you're angry.
Why are you here?!
What's a recruit from the pension department doing on this ship?!
Oh, come on! To work, of course.
Work? You mean?
I've been assigned to this ship, too.
Although I was sorta surprised to see what a wreck it is.
I see... Then you'd better be sure to follow my orders.
Why?
Because I am the Soyokaze's first officer.
Really? No kidding? Well, do a good job, Lieutenant Yamamoto.
Until the new captain arrives, I am the ship's acting captain.
Meaning I have the highest authority on board, so...
Well, in that case, you can stop being acting captain now.
Good work!
What do you mean?
Umm...
Here you go!
Justy Ueki Tylor, as of 1 April UC 6998, is reassigned from...
...the pension department of benefits administration...
...advanced to the rank of lieutenant commander...
...and is assigned to the destroyer Soyokaze as...
As the Soyokaze's captain?!
You got it.
There must be some mistake! This is insane!
You seem sorta surprised.
You see, when I saved Yuriko, Emi, and Yumi that time...
...the senior staff thought it was pretty heroic.
That's right!
I'm afraid it's true.
In short, I'm Lieutenant Commander Tylor, the captain of this ship!
People, let's all work really hard and win this war!
This is freakin' PERFECT!
You gonna happily die when he tells you to, Lieutenant, sir?
Thanks, I'm feeling much better now.
I never knew how effective neuro-cleansing was.
I find this method is much more effective for me.
Care for a drink, Lieutenant?
Uh, no, thanks.
I'm surprised how well you can work when you're so drunk.
It's nothing. I've been doing this for thirty years, after all.
Oh? Thirty years?
You must have saved the lives of many soldiers.
Don't be ridiculous! I'm only thirty-three years old.
I was talking about my drinking habit.
Huh?
Uh-oh, if I keep up this pace, I'll run out before we get back.
Hi!
Chief Helmsman, Lt. j.g. Harold Katori!
Yes, Captain! Can I help you?
Just checking.
Communications Officer, Lt. j.g. Kyon-Hwa Kim!
Yes, Captain?
Just checking again.
Intelligence Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Yuriko Star!
Please do not call me unless you have something for me to do.
But I do have some work for you.
Could you call up navigation data on the surrounding sectors?
As soon as we're ready, we're setting sail.
Captain, we need clearance from HQ to leave port.
Oh, never mind the rules.
Sir, if we do that, it'll be a serious breach of regulations.
They won't let you off with just confinement...
Pardon me! Question here! Who do you obey on a ship?
Well, the captain, of course, but...
Exactly! Now that that's settled, let's move out!
Attention, all hands!
Emergency orders from the captain!
All hands report to stations!
Prep for emergency launch!
We're moving!
In complete disregard of headquarters' operation orders...
...and my position as first officer!
This ship! This ship!
THIS SHIP IS MOVING!!!
Take care of things on your end, Skipper.
We Marines have a little job to do.
For God's sake... ANOTHER rumble with the pilots?
Can't say I see what the cause is.
Why do you Marines fight with the pilots so much?
'Cuz it's harder to fight tradition.
Hang on, baby... You'll be tearing through space real soon.
He's so irresponsible!
If we don't contact HQ soon, we'll really be in trouble.
As long as I'm at the helm, this ship's as safe as a cradle.
Pretty sure of yourself, aren't you, Lieutenant Katori?
I'm just stating a fact.
Maybe you're the perfect helmsman for Tylor.
Lieutenant Kim, didn't you forget the "captain" on his name?
Who cares? Tylor's in dreamland...
...and the first officer's confined himself to his quarters.
As long as we don't run into a Raalgon ship, I'm perfectly happy.
I'm not afraid of dying on the battlefield.
But I refuse to die uselessly on the orders of an incompetent commander!
Why?! Why did the military promote that man above me?!
"To First Officer Yamamoto, from the veterans..."
I see... I see now!
They're UPSF soldiers through and through!
They may be a bit insolent, but their hearts are pure.
Even if the captain is irresponsible...
...I have to carry on, for their sake.
Why me?
Anyway, make sure the captain opens it when he wakes up.
Sure thing.
I shot them all down!
Hmm... Not bad, little lady.
But real battles aren't like flight sims.
Ensign Kojiro here may act like a veteran...
...but he hasn't even logged a thousand hours yet.
Don't let him intimidate you.
Someone with no talent can fly tens of thousands of hours...
...and still never be good. Understand?
All that matters for a pilot is natural ability.
When I sit in the cockpit, the plane becomes a part of me.
Big words for a stinkin' flyboy!
This Hammer lets me smash an enemy with my fists! It's a real weapon!
Oh, I see. It's perfect for barbarians like you!
How sweet!
Listen, greenhorn, you'd just better remember that...
...aboard the Soyokaze, you pilots work for us Marines!
And what if I say I don't agree with you?
You son of a!
Eat this!
Oh, yeah?!
Darn it, lemme go!
Why, that!
What do we do?! What do we do?!
Let's tell Captain Tylor.
Damn them all... Monsters!
How dare they do this! I'll make them pay!
Cmdr. Yuriko Star...
I thought something like this would happen.
They did it, right?
Those! I'll have them court-martialed...
...and drummed out of the United Planets Space Force!
You mustn't do that, Lieutenant Yamamoto!
If you lose your cool now...
...the crew of the Soyokaze really will be doomed.
Commander Star, what are you saying?
I came aboard this ship to reform the crew.
What decided that for me was Captain Tylor.
Or, rather, before he became captain.
Besides risking his life to save Admiral Hanner...
...he resolved that crisis peacefully and allowed the military to save face.
So it was only natural the high command wanted to promote him.
But Admiral Mifune saw Tylor for what he really was.
This man may be a member of the UPSF, but he is not one of us!
If we carelessly entrust him with the responsibilities of a soldier...
...it's clear to me that he'll make some horrible mistake...
...and throw our forces into chaos.
As you know, the Soyokaze...
...is considered the dumping ground of the UPSF.
Its crew have always just been outlaws from all over space.
No new captain has ever lasted more than three days.
So Admiral Mifune decided to make Tylor the Soyokaze's captain...
...so he could later be able to throw him out of the military.
But, then, why are you here?
I'm partly to blame for Tylor's promotion as well.
Actually, I feel like we were somehow fated to meet.
I have to reform Captain Tylor...
...and make the Soyokaze's crew into real soldiers of the UPSF.
I realized that was my mission in life.
That's why, despite Admiral Mifune's objections...
...I asked to be assigned to this ship.
Commander Star! I'm so ashamed!
To think I would consider taking revenge on my own men!
The enemy lies within!
Now I see! The enemy was myself!
To doubt the military's style of personnel management...
...and have been so disappointed with my men was inexcusable!
Isn't it my duty to cover my superiors' flaws...
...and cure my men of their rebellious nature?
Lieutenant Yamamoto...
Admiral Mifune, I...
I have now defeated the enemy within!
Lieutenant! Emergency!
What's wrong?!
Trouble on the hangar deck, sir! Get down there, fast!
What's the meaning of this?! Stop it at once!
Lieutenant!
What, you're still alive?
Excuse me for living.
Captain! Captain, please!
Captain, please wake up!
Mr. Tylor!
Captain, there's trouble!
What's wrong?
What's this?
Lieutenant Andressen left that for you before.
He said it was in honor of your promotion.
Really? That was nice of him.
Hm, let's see...
This is heavy. Wonder what's in it?
Captain, never mind that!
A war's broken out onboard!
Huh? A war's started?
Men, isn't it foolish for fellow UPSF soldiers...
...to fight each other during a state of war?
"The enemy lies within!"
Surely you see the meaning of those words!
All right, all right. Enough already.
My hat's off to you, First Officer Yamamoto.
Oh? Is the war over already?
So, who won?
"Who won?!"
Captain, look at this mess!
Whoever won or lost is beside the point!
This may be the dumping ground of the UPSF...
...but having our voyage start like this makes me fear for our future!
Looks like they really went to town in here.
Captain, please say something to the crew!
Tell them that, if they don't stop these childish brawls...
...and start behaving like professionals...
...then when it comes time to show the Raalgon our true power...
To show the Raalgon our true power... we won't be able to...
Captain!
Please say something!
Hm? Right...
Captain, please! Give the crew a clear and direct order!
An order, huh?
Okay. Do whatever you want.
"Do whatever you?"
Captain!
Right. Let's forget the rules and just do whatever we want to.
That's all. The captain has spoken.
You heard the captain. He said do whatever we want, right, guys?
Lieutenant Yamamoto...
"The enemy within..."
It isn't a weak heart or mistrust of the military.
The veterans’ mutiny? No, it isn't that, either!
Justy Ueki Tylor... It's you!
You are the enemy within!
