It's time. C craft will be standby from now on.
I'll hand over the task of hangar cleaning to you!
Roger!
Women's Bath
Are you all right?
Won't you get sick if you keep drinking in a hot bath?
All right, it's all right!
This is non-alcoholic beer. It's right before a mission.
None of us had any alcohol during the party either.
Are you sure?
It's non-alcoholic, isn't it?
Engaging Six and Seven
It's hard to believe. There's a bath in the submarine.
Originally, it was a pool to chemically clean AS parts.
But when it's not in use, I use it for a different purpose.
Is it all right for humans to go in?
It's all right. This bath is my pride and joy.
I imagine people who are used to Japanese baths
may feel that taking a shower is not enough.
I lived in Japan when I was a child, as did Weber-san.
Where?
Okinawa.
Is that right?
What's the matter?
Well, I was wondering what kind of kid Sousuke was.
Sagara-san's distant past?
I met them for the first time about a year ago.
A year ago? Them?
Let me think...
It was right after the Danaan's maiden voyage.
That means it's been almost a year since Urzu 6 and 7 joined the team.
Is it all right to tell a civilian such a thing, Captain Testarossa?
Sure, because she's special.
It was when the mass-produced M9 was about to be officially deployed.
Two members of our team became unfit for active service
due to a training accident.
I happened to go to the trainee tryout camp
to select the replacement personnel.
Trainee? It's hard to imagine Sousuke as a rookie.
Somehow, I can imagine that.
So, what happened at the trainee camp?
When I met him for the first time,
he was naive, but polite and unsophisticated.
Also, he wasn't good at rifle shooting.
He sounds like the total opposite of Kurz-kun.
No way!
This trainee, Kurz Weber, had a cute face.
He approached me when nobody was around.
Yes, I'm not good at anything.
I can't even hold a rifle as well as other people do.
Sergeant Major,
I don't think I can stand this training camp anymore.
What the heck? Is he just a wuss?
So, what I really need right now is love, not training!
I need the warmth of someone else.
Wait a minute!
Sergeant Major, for pity's sake, please let me cry on your chest!
Of course...
Directly!
You!
Damn crook!
That's disgusting!
At that point, his name disappeared from the rookie candidate list.
What about Sagara-san?
Sousuke?
I guess I had little interest in Sousuke.
I had almost made up my mind on three candidates
after I studied their performance data.
The first one was Jonathan Hallel,
an ex-Israeli soldier who had the very best score.
Next was Ricardo Plado, an ex-Peruvian soldier.
And former Italian soldier, Daniele Buliash.
If I'd have had to chose then, I'd have picked two of those names.
Then I noticed that during an AS simulation test,
an old model RK-92 destroyed an M6
piloted by the top scorer.
I wondered who operated the RK-92.
Sousky Segarl?
What a strange name.
That's what I thought too. The grade wasn't that good.
He didn't have anything outstanding, apart from the strange name.
Wasn't it just a coincidence?
I didn't know, so I tried to find out.
May I come in?
Are you Sousky Segarl?
Affirmative. Actually, it's Sousuke Sagara.
Are you the one who beat Hallel's M6?
I was just lucky.
That's not true. It's impossible to do that by just being lucky.
In that case, he must have made mistakes.
He can't have a normal conversation.
Right, so I almost gave up.
But unfortunately, another idiot showed up.
Weber-san?
He asked, "Did you come here to steal my underwear?"
To me, a higher ranked officer.
It was so ridiculous I lost my temper.
You'll get hurt, Miss.
Why don't you do it, kid?
That's enough.
I hadn't noticed at all. When did he cover that distance?
Your name is Weber, right? Stop teasing the petty officer.
You may cause trouble for the other soldiers.
All right.
He's the second one I would never have considered for a candidate!
It was the worst series of encounters.
Really...
But it sounds like them.
Yes, it does.
But something worse happened next.
"We're a group of loyal revolutionists.
Yesterday, we successfully kidnapped the daughter of the President,
a puppet ruler, in a surprise raid.
If you want her back, you need to pay $5,121,076.52 immediately.
We will never consider any less, not even a penny."
Oh, my, they're so exact.
"Or we cannot guarantee the First Daughter's safety.
Today she's wearing a bunny girl costume, as you can see,
but I wonder what she will be wearing tomorrow?
A geisha girl or samba costume for a carnival? We're serious."
I don't like this! Daddy! He...
What was that?
The amount of the ransom is so exact.
They must have some reason for that.
What are they serious about?
Everybody! There is a difference in quality, but you must know
that the maniacal guerrilla groups cannot be measured by common sense.
We will carry out a mission to rescue the hostage
of the hard-left guerrillas at the request of the Berugan government.
What's that?

Women's
I'm sorry.
Melissa, please tell me the rest of the story next time.
She's called out even when she's in the bath.
Being captain is really tough.
What do you want to do?
Shall we get out before we start feeling dizzy?
Melissa, please tell me the rest of the story next time.
I'm not sure when I can hear the story next if I miss today.
I changed my mind. I'd like to hear a little bit more.
Oh, well.
The instructors at the training camp weren't enough.
They asked the trainees for volunteers for the hostage rescue group.
And those two volunteered, right?
They, of all men, did.
This is team Sapphire. Things went wrong. It's really bad.
What happened?
The enemies were normal guerrillas, but they had three AS's.
Mainstay had all become prisoners of war.
There were only four of us left who were to secure the rear.
Let's withdraw. The four of us can't do much.
We should go back and make additional preparations.
No, it will take too long.
The enemies will be better prepared than we will.
But...
Battles have flows.
Once you lose the flow, that's the end of the battle.
Right now, we can still make it.
What are you going to do?
You must be hiding something, right?
Not as much as you are.
You're both hiding something, as I suspected.
And what did you do?
Of course, I found out what they were.
The crook who is naive and not good at shooting rifles
and someone who can get unremarkable scores on purpose.
This is Weber. I'm at my position.
This is Segarl. They haven't noticed me, as we planned.
This is Jimmer. I'm ready, anytime.
Everybody! It's time for the public execution.
That's it!
She's over there!
If you don't want to die, set the hostages free and surrender!
Six AS's have already surrounded you! Give up and I'll let you survive.
Surrender? Are you stupid? That's total bull!
It's about one meter away.
I'm talking about the machine on your left side.
Can you somehow manage to move it toward the right?
I'll try.
Especially you, clunker! You'll be the first one to get beaten.
I know because I understand AS's very well. You're too slow.
Not only is the machine slow but the pilot is even slower.
He stinks. He's ugly. You'll be groveling like a bullfrog.
You can't get out of this place quickly enough,
so you'll get squashed.
You'll spit out your guts and vomit all over your ugly face.
You poo-poo head!
Why don't you move?!
Don't you get angry and feel something when you're insulted?
I'm not ugly!
Yes, you are! It runs in the family.
You must be ugly, slow, stinky, and a hopelessly unpopular guy!
Mr. Booger!
What's that?
What's wrong with Mr. Booger?!
I can see it.
Bingo!
This isn't good.
Damn! Cancel identification of friend or foe.
It was a good mission, Sergeant Major.
You're a good petty officer.
Thanks.
Goodbye, I wish you the very best of luck.
Take care, big sister Mao. It was fun after all.
What happened with the rookie scouting?
What happened? It's just as I told you.
Oh, that's right. That's it.
What are you doing here?
Well...
We ran out of the prizes for the consolation bingo game.
You must be thinking of something naughty.
For example, you were looking for the Captain's favorite underwear,
something like that.
Affirmative, he was saying something like that, for sure.
Oh, big sister, calm down. Stay cool, okay?
Is it worth getting that angry?
But did you see Mao-san's face?
What?
Nothing...
This is next.
This is the missile launching room.
It looks totally different from when we had the party.
Right, the submarine is nearing the theater of operations.
The theater of operations?
Yes, a real operation is going to start soon.
Next Full Metal Panic!
Well, party time is over. Are you all ready to go on a mission?
Sousuke has been acting strange.
The enemies seem very tough to beat.
Melissa?!
