Isn't this what your father liked?
Sounds like shit to me.
Really?
I like it.
Cornelius.
Got a tissue?
Yeah.
At the space fortress A Baoa Qu,
the young and brave soldiers who achieved excellent results in battle
are present with the best and brightest scientists of Zeon.
The revered Space Assault Forces Board of Directors speak most highly of their loyalty.
We, the forces of Zeon,
shall become the strength required to realize the ideals of our fellow Spacenoids.
Does it tingle your brain?
I'm fine.
In that case...
Begin recording.
We'll be proceeding with phase six today.
I know.
We need to do some checks before that, right?
Ah, of course.
Neural uplink: complete.
Move your right foot.
Relax.
And next...
Great.
Now the left.
Try to match the speed of the bar,
and move your right leg and then your left.
Okay!
Doctor.
Let's start the Reuse Psycho Device's movement test.
Roger.
It's a magnificent system.
I feel like I can be more than just a sniper when I use it.
You do know there are much better prosthetic legs than the ones you have right now, right?
I know.
But that system performs even better than if I had actual legs.
Are you trying to get another medal?
Didn't you get one too?
I threw it away.
I absolutely loathe wars.
Gundam!
Just try to place me under your spell!
Noise levels nominal.
No problems whatsoever.
Good work.
Warrant Officer Daryl.
Do you think there are ghosts bound to the debris?
Out here in space?
A lot of people died on Side 4, after all.
I wonder if mediums or whatever can see them.
Horror flicks scare the hell outta me.
I can't see any.
Really? That makes me feel better.
Oh,
but it's pretty mean of them to have you sortie in a Zaku I.
Even if they say that it's all we have left,
they can't just put our ace in the oldest Zaku.
Mobility is a wasted attribute on snipers.
All I have to do is finish the prey caught in our net, as I've been doing.
I don't need much.
That's reassuring to hear.
I look forward to you avenging our comrades.
Good luck out there.
Thank you.
Fisher! Sean!
It's headed towards your posts!
I've got you!
It's fast!
Try this!
I see you.
Shit!
I gotcha!
Damn it.
Sean!
You cowardly cobras!
Is hiding among the debris the only way you can fight?!
Hit him!
It's too small!
Fisher, what'd you hit?
It wasn't the Gundam.
Where are you?
Where the hell are you hiding?
Gundam!
No explosion!
Another decoy?
Move!
You're dead.
You're in my sights!
That shot takes "far" to a whole new level.
There's only one person that I know who could pull off a shot like that...
Peg Legs!
The lightning bent my beam?
Just how lucky is this guy?!
Run, Daryl!
It's all over for snipers like us, once the enemy knows where we are!
We don't stand a chance in hell against the Gundam!
Shit!
I can't see anything!
Sean!
He's still alive?
If you think you can tag me, then go ahead and fire a round.
That's if you're ready to take out your buddy along with me!
Shoot!
Shoot us, Daryl!
You're trying to slow me down by scattering debris everywhere?
I'll lead you where I want.
Come at me!
I'll shoot right through you!
This is making me cream.
My jazz will be the last thing you ever hear.
What?
Burn, baby, burn!
Sean!
Is he above me?
You can't wriggle around much with that body of yours, can you?
You little shit!
It's over...
You peg-legged bastard!
He...
Focus our attacks on the frontline fleet!
Maintain our current speed.
Keep firing until they're out of range.
Two Musais have been sunk.
Ten seconds until we exit their firing range!
Using the Gundam as bait to sink two Musai-class ships...
A splendid strategy, Captain.
That's all we got?
Running away again, huh?
I'm preparing a new hand for you, so hold on a little longer.
We can have four Mobile Suits ready for sortie if you give us two hours to conduct repairs.
We only have a single Big Gun left.
I want you to prepare yourself for an honorable death.
The Brotherhood has ordered this area be defended to the last man.
If worse comes to worst, the science team will share our fate.
Captain.
Our experimental unit has reached the point where it's ready for actual combat.
But that machine has...
As for the final, vital piece required,
as long as you give the order to complete it...
Please understand, Dr. Karla.
This is the only way we can avoid being completely annihilated.
Our experimental unit is the only way we can hope to go up against the Gundam!
We can't, Sexton.
That unit requires the user's four limbs to be neurally linked to it,
in order for it to be used to its full—
We have Warrant Officer Daryl.
Huh?
I heard he lost his left hand in combat.
What are you trying to say?
Amputate his right hand!
He's not a guinea pig for our experiments!
This is hard for me too!
How low can you get?
Are you trying to make me give up my humanity too?!
If we don't contribute something to this war,
what will happen to your father, who is currently imprisoned for treason?
Now is the time to use the fruits of our research to help the Fatherland!
This is for the independence of all space immigrants, and for the glory of Zeon!
So this is the true power of the Reuse Psycho Device...
With this, the Gundam is...
From the heart we all cry for joy and pain
From the heart we all smile and laugh
Tears of sadness and the tears of joy
After crying it is all the same
It'll come down to the thought
These tears are from the heart
A goodness that we share from our heart
All the mornings when I think of you
All the evenings when I feel for you
You bring out a poet in me
A philosopher too, my dear
The dreaming girl in...
Me
You bring the best in me
You bring the dream to me
