What is that voice?
Look at what's hanging off of Gauna 491!
The Gauna is using Hoshijiro's comm channel!
The armor and the pilot.
It's trying to completely recreate a Garde, but...
No matter how hard it tries to imitate us, it's still a Gauna!
Don't let up on the assault!
All teams, give me a status update!

It will soon be out of range!
Captain. Our units' Heigus reserves are below 30%.
Further pursuit won't allow for prolonged combat.
Very well. Abort the operation.
Affirmative!
Abort now! Return to base!
Copy!
I'm glad it decided to run.
If we had to fight it any longer...

Sidonia Military Succeed in Search and Destroy Operation
Here is the latest on yesterday's battle.
This marked the first time the Sidonian military took the offensive.
The search and destroy operation was victorious, as they succeeded in destroying a Garde-formed Gauna.
The remaining Gauna 490 counterattacked and the squad tactically retreated to regroup.
But Gauna 490 appeared to have gone invisible and fled.
Command has dubbed these units with specialized abilities Crimson Hawkmoths,
and are examining new tactics to engage the Garde-formed Gauna.
"Sidonian troops repel Gauna."
I'd say that's putting things pretty broadly.
"Will there be an announcement regarding the Ena specimen Tanikaze recovered?"
What are they talking about?
The one the Gauna's Ena mimicked.
It was Hoshijiro.
I know that one of the three is alive.
Why is Nagate getting sent out on all these missions?
It's not right.
It's their idea.
Who? The Immortal Council's?
Nobody outside of the council can be immortal.
The public can never know that we have the technology to be able to live forever.
It's something that goes against the very philosophy of a seed ship.
So you're going to send him out for every battle?
To get him killed?
That was the compromise that finally allowed me to convince them.
I didn't want Tanikaze to be imprisoned again.
Don't worry, Hiyama.
If he has the abilities I believe he does, he most certainly won't die in combat.
Just like Saito.
Captain, we've finished preparing the Resurrection ritual.
We can proceed at any time.
Okay. We might even do it tomorrow.
What? The Resurrection ritual?
Are you going to use Ochiai's auxiliary brain?
At a time like this?
I don't imagine you've forgotten what Ochiai did a hundred years ago.
Maybe you need to remember, Hiyama.
Six hundred years ago, we became the first to successfully kill a Gauna.
That was when we pledged our lives and knowledge to serve Sidonia,
and we agreed to join the Immortal Council.
We joined the council so we could help repopulate a new planet.
Kobayashi, what are you planning on doing?
I'm not doing this for me.
I'm complying with the request of the anti-military activists.
We need to extract terraforming technology from Ochiai.
Oh, Ms. Hiyama, good to see you.
Yeah, welcome back.
What's with her? That's weird.
Yeah, she seemed a little more down than usual.
She's not the grumpy sort.
Yeah.
Oh, I have a bad feeling.
It's the same kind I had a hundred years ago.
A lot of people are about to die.
Hiro.
100 years ago After the Fourth Gauna War
We're 70% complete with the emergency repairs to the outer hull.
The gravity has been mostly restored. We're now at 1G.
However, the core facilities were badly damaged, but it appears environmental lighting...
To think all of this damage was caused by only two Gauna.
I'd say that Sidonia is doomed.
Dead Wounded Missing
Captain?
We've finished rescuing the last survivors.
Twenty-four council members and 392 citizens.
I'm afraid that's all that remains of Sidonia.
If the Tsugumori took even a little longer to return with the Kabizashi it went to reclaim,
we would have been wiped out.
It's twenty-five council members.
You forgot Ochiai.
Hiro.
You're the one who ordered him to be captured alive, Kobayashi.
Captured alive?
He's the one who discarded the Kabizashis.
He deserves to be executed, that's for sure.
It's his fault that Sidonia lost most of the Archive.
Most of our accumulated knowledge and technologies gone in an instant.
Excuse me.
There is a partial backup of the Archive that still remains.

Accessing the auxiliary brain from the outside requires you to connect through Ochiai's brain.
But if we transplant his brain to a clone and suppress his memories,
we've determined that we can access it safely.
You're very promising. What is your name, by the way?
Yure Shinatose.
Afterward, she became a member of the Immortal Council in recognition of her talents.
Just as Hiroki was leaving.
What do you mean Hiro disappeared?
Kobayashi!
I didn't know why Hiroki left.
14 years ago 80 years after the breach
The next time he would reappear would be 80 years after he left.
Hiroki!
He was discovered collapsed in front of the organic conversion reactor.
His aging progressed because he stopped taking his anti-aging medication.
His brain will have to be transplanted to a clone immediately.
Is there a problem?
Well, actually, all of Mr. Saito's replacement clones were destroyed in that battle.
And he soon disappeared after refusing to administer further clones.
The truth is, he's fought hard for so long!
He was just tired.
If only I had noticed it sooner.
Don't strain yourself.
You've been in the tank for several days, after all.
I'm doing fine, Lalah.
Oh, all right, that does it! You know that I hate being called by my first name.
Don't make me bite your head off.
Lalah, you're so cute.
Come on!
Are you sure about this?
We went ahead and manipulated the genetics to your specifications,
but this borders on treason.
Our immortality can't be passed down to our descendants
because it's a result of the medication we take,
but this replacement clone made from Saito's manipulated DNA
will actually be born immortal.
All I know is that we can never lose him again.
Stay quiet.
Wait, you're...
Take me to where the other me is.
Security Chief Hiyama!
Why did Hiroki take Shinatose hostage?
We're getting audio now!
It's too soon for him to be taken out!
He's not even 5 kilograms yet!
That's a perfectly fine birth weight.
Kobayashi, no, you didn't!
Tell me you didn't make a clone of Hiroki!
Status on the doors?
We're almost there. There needs to be preparation before removing him from the amniotic tank!
If it's opened like this, we can't put him back in!
You're planning on keeping him locked in here until he's completely matured?
What good would a person like that be?
Hiro.
We're through the lock! Opening now.
No! Stop! Hiroki, put the sword down!
None of you move! Wait for my orders!
Have you forgotten your pledge to the council?
Did you forget that your life and your death are not yours to decide?
Your experience and knowledge are Sidonia's.
Fifteen, no, ten years.
That's all I need.
I'll teach the child everything I know.
Please, listen to what Hiroki is saying, Kobayashi!
Your body has now reached its limit.
I won't take the risk.
Put down your weapon.
Have negotiations broken down?
This child is mine.
Don't interfere.
Get him!
Watch out!
You...
Lalah!
Hiro, run!
I can't hold them off for long.
Hurry!
It is difficult to find anyone who wanders into one of Sidonia's many old organic conversion reactors.
That was the last time Hiroki was seen.
Present Day
Nagate, come on, hurry!
Are you really sure that there's a point to doing this?
I'm telling you, it will make Ms. Hiyama feel better.
She's always taking care of you. You need to do something in return.
Yeah, okay.
Miss... Lalah.
Hiro.
That's weird.
She usually goes crazy whenever you call her by her first name.
Oh, well...
Izana said it would make you feel better.
Get over here, Izana!
I don't believe it. I got glue all over the joints!
What was that? Some beast?
Ms. Hiyama! I'm so sorry!
Ma... Mama...
