MIND'S EYE, HALF BLIND, HEADED FOR A ROUGH RIDE
Now beginning targeting practice.
Difficulty level is set to class-A special.
If you shoot this down, your name will be recorded...
...with history's greatest pilots, Kojiro.
Okay... Today I'm gonna do it!
Gotcha!
Damn!
They may be training lasers, but don't underestimate them!
Get real! Learning to dodge those is a pilot's first step!
Just what I'd expect from a top-level military academy...
...flight school graduate like Ensign Kojiro Sakai.
Even with the shame of being downgraded...
...he never stops his daily training.
I wish a little of that spirit would rub off onto the captain.
Oh, so that's your game? Well, I send in my general!
You fell for it.
I counter with a clear-eyed spy!
You tricked me. You really do have good insight.
But, then, you are a pretty good judge of people.
Who? Me?
With a little alcohol in me, I'm the best surgeon in space.
But no ship I was on before ever allowed me to drink openly.
Because of that, I never did a good job on those ships.
Letting me drink means you have the eye for judging people.
The eye for judging people...
Do you mean... THIS eye?
Exactly! Your own spying clear eye!
You think so?
Can Tylor really judge others well?
Too bad, Ensign. You almost got it this time.
Just get me the flight data to look over.
Roger.
Mr. Kojiro!
Hold it! Don't come any closer to me!
But we want to ask you a favor, Mr. Kojiro!
From me?
You want to be fighter pilots?!
Are you two serious?
Yes, very serious.
But when we asked Mr. Kojiro...
...he said it was up to the senior officers.
But you're both Admiral Hanner's precious daughters.
And with a fine pilot like Ensign Kojiro on board...
...there's no reason for you to risk going into combat.
But we want to fly a plane!
We're tired of just using the simulator!
Right?
But!
This is...
...highly...
What's this, Ensign?
It's a flight program aptitude test used by...
...the United Planets Space Force Academy.
It's normally administered by an instructor...
...but I gave it to them myself.
You tested their piloting aptitude?
Yes, ma'am.
You both scored "D"s on your aptitude tests.
There's no way you could be allowed to fly fighters.
What?! But that's not fair!
We didn't come here for a picnic!
We came aboard the Soyokaze to be pilots...
...even if we are just trainees!
Our destiny was decided the day we were born!
We're to spread our great wings and soar through the vastness of space!
Telling us that one wish can't be granted...
...is like telling us to drop dead!
What?! Don't be ridiculous!
Guys, just give it up.
No, don't say "just give it up!"
Say "drop dead!"
Stop it, both of you!
What's with this "B"?
It's a "D," not a "B"!
A "D"?
Mr. Tylor!
You understand, don't you, Mr. Tylor?
Huh?
We want to fly fighters!
Fighters?
Yes! To spread our great wings...
...and soar through the vastness of space!
It's our destiny! We want to fly!
We want to fly, PLEASE!
Well, sure. If you want to do it so badly.
YAY!
What are you saying, Captain?!
They both have horrible pilot aptitude scores!
Aptitude?
But how do you know how well you'll do till you do it?
I mean, they said I had a horrible aptitude for being a captain!
I rest my case!
I say let them try.
How can you say that, Ensign?!
Mr. Kojiro!
However, as their superior officer...
No, as the only pilot on board, I'll make one condition.
Condition?
If there's any sort of trouble on their first flight...
...the two pilot trainees will be dismissed...
...and they're to never lay a finger on a plane again.
"That's my condition..."
...is what I told them.
Just like you, Ensign.
Everyone has some sort of trouble on their first flight.
I'll finally be rid of those two annoying girls!
I'm impressed you take your woman-hating this far.
It's more than that.
It's my battlefield.
Space is my glorious battlefield.
And I won't let those stupid girls ruin it!
Standing by. Okay to launch!
Okay over here, too.
Main booster, on!
The plane's really shaking me around!
The stabilizer system button is in here somewhere.
Hm, still not very steady.
Must be nice to be so fresh and innocent!
Captain! If anything happens to them, you'll be responsible!
Do you understand that?!
"D"s! They both got "D"s!
You're such worrywarts.
Here it is. I think this is the stabilizer button.
This will settle things down.
Those idiots!
They mistook the afterburner limiter cutoff for the stabilizer!
"To Mr. Kojiro" EMI and YUMI
This isn't some kids' game!
If those two come back alive, there'll be hell to pay!
I warned you, didn't I?!
Form a rescue party and go out after them?!
Get real!
It'd be impossible, even for invincible Marines like us.
You can't mean that!
I really want to go and save them...
...but our dropship just isn't fast enough.
What he said.
Don’t just say "what he said!"
Ensign Kojiro scrambling out there is the only option.
We'll have to wait and hope.
We've got trouble! The Shinryus' course!
Put it on screen!
Damn, this isn't good!
If they get caught in that gravity field...
...they'll never be able to get out!
This is Ranpu! Come in, Shinryu!
This is Shinryu... We read you.
Shinryu... Shinryu, is that really you?!
Yes!
Okay, if you two want to get back alive...
...then do exactly what I tell you to.
This is great! It's the first time...
...Mr. Kojiro ever wanted to teach us how to fly!
We've been waiting so long for this day!
Just shut your mouths and listen to me!
You're already inside the gravity field of that planetoid ahead.
You have only one chance to break away!
Your only way out is to follow my instructions...
...and perform a gravity jump.
A gravity jump?
What's a gravity jump?
Just let the planetoid's gravity carry you in.
Let it draw you in as close as possible! Don't be scared!
Emi, get your nose up a little more.
Yumi, your speed's dropping!
If you blow your approach to the planetoid, you're dead!
Yes, sir!
Never mind answering me! Concentrate on flying the planes!
Yes, sir!
They'll be hitting perigee in ten seconds!
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
Now! Full throttle!
They broke out!
It worked!
HURRAY!
Man, you really had me worried there.
Hey, I hope this teaches you never to ask to fly fighters again!
Hey, girls! Answer me!
Oh, my God!
They boosted straight into the asteroids!
What are asteroids?
Metal detected ahead.
No... After they missed crashing into the planetoid!
Damn it, it's not fair!
I killed them...
If I'd just taught them how to fly properly...
...then this never would have happened!
Damn it all! I don't deserve to be called an ace pilot!
I couldn't save them!
How dare I call this my battlefield!
How dare I call space glorious!
Mr. Kojiro! Are you all right?
You should keep your eyes on where you're flying!
Yumi... Emi...
I don't believe it. This is their first flight?
Natural talent!
God gave those two girls natural flying skill!
It must have awakened when they did the gravity jump!
That's the only explanation!
Damn it, how could they do this to me?
Mr. Kojiro!
We did it! We really did it!
A promise is a promise.
You aren't getting into a cockpit again.
Huh? But why?
That's not fair! We finally learned how to fly!
I'm starting your training over on the simulator.
You won't hold a flight stick again until I say so.
You got that?
Yes, sir!
Those two are going to be great pilots.
What?
They don't fly like it's their first time behind a stick.
I couldn't believe the natural skill they showed.
They really have that much talent?
Captain... Captain, how could you know about their talent?
They flunked out on the Force's aptitude test.
Simple!
My keen, bright eyes saw it!
Huh? You want me to find your talents, Yuriko?
Yes, could you, please?
Like you did when you saw the Hanner sisters' piloting skills.
Hmm... It's okay by me. Let's try it!
If he really has the ability to see the hidden talents in people...
...then he deserves to be the captain.
Got it!
Well, Yuriko, you're not cut out to be a soldier.
So I think marrying me, having lots of children...
...and making a happy home is the best course for you.
I was a fool to get my hopes up about this idiot!
You asked me to look, so I answered truthfully...
IDIOT!
Now beginning targeting practice.
Difficulty level is set to class-A special.
If you don't shoot this down, your name will be...
...recorded in history as a disgraced former pilot, Kojiro.
Those two will become great pilots.
Even though they flunked the Force's aptitude test.
Gotcha!
You finally did it, Kojiro!
But the data shows you switched your targeter off. Did you?
I sure did. I switched the targeting system off.
I don't believe it. Why did you try it that way?
No reason.
Call it... inspiration.
