I'm sorry that I called you up.
It's all right. What did you want to talk about?
I thought I would talk to you before it gets too busy.
Is it about Mithril?
No, it's about you and me.
Whispered...
I think you may have already noticed, but I am one of them.
Venom's Flame
Whispered is said to be a gold mine of Black Technology.
Under certain conditions,
it can supply scientific theories and engineering
which are much higher than the current standards.
Can I also?
From what I've seen, you've shown the power twice.
The first time was in the mountains of the Hanka Autonomous Region.
The second time was at the battle with the Behemoth.
You knew something you had never learned on both occasions.
I helped you in the second instance though.
Helped me?
Kaname-san, can you do me a favor?
Don't you remember?
I really don't understand what happened then.
What happened then is called resonance.
Resonance?
Yes, Whispered can share thoughts from deep inside their souls.
It happens when you and I both feel we need each other strongly.
Is that right?
It is a very dangerous thing to do.
We need to try to avoid Whispered's resonance as much as possible.
Why? If we really have such a handy power...
Something convenient like that is a double-edged sword, Kaname-san.
Whispered's resonance is a kind of mind sharing.
We blend into each other
instead of having a conversation or correspondence.
For example, it's like this:
It's too late. I can't separate the tea and milk any more.
You will lose yourself, who you are, if you make one false step.
I kind of understand and not understand.
I'm sorry that I spoke in such abstract expressions.
But in fact, I really don't understand it that well myself.
Well, Kaname-san...
The reason why I'm telling you about this
is that there are people who really want the Whispered's power,
no matter what it costs.
Are you talking about that guy named Gauron?
Yes, he wants you.
If he found out about me, he would want me too.
He would do anything dirty for it, no matter what.
Oh, no.
But you're not alone.
We, Mithril, don't think it's a good idea
to let you fall into the enemy's hands.
That's why Sousuke has been with me.
Yes, kind of.
But I've never heard of a guard that's such a handful.
Sousuke says, "I'll protect you!"
But he just blows himself up big time.
He's no different from a not-so-important character in a war movie.
Well, he's kind of fun to watch though.
I don't mean to throw up the white flag yet!
I often see him at the base in times of peace.
You do?
Yes, the other day, we escaped the base together
and went to a deserted, sandy beach.
To a sandy beach?
The rest is a secret.
You!
We're even now.
But he and I are not like that.
I already informed you earlier
that an armed group has seized the US military facility.
A chemical weapons disposal facility
on Berildaobu Island, Republic of Perio.
A few hundreds tons of nerve gas are stored there.
This armed group is threatening that they'll spread the stored gas
all over if their demand is not accepted.
Be quiet!
Our main duty is to suppress the enemy AS's
and to assure the safety of the hostages.
We also need to avoid the destruction of the facility.
Their current military potential
is nine AS's and five self-propelled Triple A's.
This is...
This AS is thought to be Russia's latest model.
It's supposed to be a successor to the Savage.
It's known that we can fight against this machine
with ordinary mecha and war tactics.
But there is an enemy AS that we need to give the most attention to.
This mecha is equipped with special equipment.
Ordinary attacks are not effective at all.
If you encounter this AS, you should avoid a direct battle.
Meaning, you should run away.
Run away? That's so stupid!
In that case, we shouldn't attack to begin with!
Be quiet!
Do you want to die, you guys?!
It's very dangerous, honest.
I said run away. It's not a suggestion or a request.
It's an order. The ones who ignore this will be punished.
If they survive.
We will call this AS "Venom" for convenience.
Sergeant Sagara is to engage the enemy and destroy it.
Once we encounter Venom, the others will stay back and support you.
Don't give it a chance to catch its breath.
Use collaboration and close combat.
Then the victory will come to us.
If I lose?
The operation will be a failure.
All your fellow soldiers will be victims of Venom.
The Lt. Commander is too hard.
Are you talking about Sousuke?
Yes, how could he say such things
even though he knew about the battle of Helmajistan?
The squadron in the Indian Ocean treats Sousuke as a murderer.
Well, I can't blame them,
because all of them, except him, became gravestones.
He looked as if he wished he died too.
Even though he didn't say so.
Kaname?
Excuse me...
Hey! Did you come here because you were worried about me?
Don't look so sad. I'll come back to you for sure.
Would you like to go in the cockpit with me for...
Anything wrong? It's dangerous here.
Well...
Sousuke? It's nothing really.
He had a little incident during his previous mission.
I'm afraid we're going on a mission now.
Mission...
I'm sorry I disturbed you.
Current depth, 80. Speed, 3 knots. EMFC, no problem.
The current is from northwest, 2 knots.
Slight breeze above the water.
AS airtight chambers, all green.
Please start filling airtight chambers one through six with water.
Aye, Ma'am. Begin filling airtight chambers one through six with water.
We'll be starting this mission from underwater.
Split the six AS's into three teams:
Rush-in team, shooting team and bomb squad.
McAllen and Sagara for the rush-in team.
Weber and Guen for the shooting team.
Mao and Danigan for the bomb squad.
Go to your own station after passing the waypoint. That is all.
Open all AS hatches.
Aye, Ma'am. Open all AS hatches!

If I lose?
The operation will be a failure.
All your fellow soldiers will be victims of Venom.
Sousuke?
What, Mao?
Aren't you too keen on this mission?
What are you talking about?
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Nobody is listening to this channel.
It doesn't matter. I am...
Aren't you thinking about protecting us along with Kaname?
Thank you but no thank you.
I imagine Kurz, McAllen and the other guys would say the same.
That's right. I'll remember that.
You're good, to be honest. Talk to you later.
Urzu 1 to all units. We just passed waypoint three.
We will split into the three teams now. Okay?
Urzu 2, roger.
Urzu 6, roger.
Urzu 7, roger.
Urzu 10, roger.
Urzu 12, roger.
I never knew there were such convenient underground tunnels.
Santa Claus would be surprised too.
Oh, my god, do we need to play moles in the ocean?
Why did I get such a duty?
Don't complain. We're the only ones who can do this job.
It's not my business.
Even if the bombs explode at the facility,
there wouldn't be much damage.
Of course some of these poor people around here may die though.
Danigan!
I'm just kidding. Don't get too serious.
I don't think such a joke is appropriate during the mission.
Get serious.
Please don't be bothered. I'll do my job right.
I hope so.
I wonder if they'll do it right?
If they make a mistake, we'll have no choice but to run away.
We're not paid enough to fight in poison gas.
That's true.
Mithril has very good equipment and pays well,
but the way they do their business is so slow.
Protect the hostages and be careful with chemical weapons.
They tell us something like that.
I guess that an ordinary storm trooper
wouldn't get paid this much.
Al, set the power level at Military.
Roger. GPL, military. Power is increasing.
20... 30... 40... 50... 60...
This is Urzu 2. We succeeded in disarming the bombs.
We're on the way to ground level.
This is Urzu 6. I'm ready, anytime.
Urzu 10. So am I.
70... 80... 90... 100...
Urzu 1 to all units. The hunting ban has been lifted!
Go, attack!
Roger.
It's started!
A battle commencement signal has been received from the M9's ADM.
We'll surface now. Please raise all ECS masts.
Set MBT at regular blow.
This is Urzu 10.
I have destroyed all of the confirmed anti-aircraft artillery.
This is Urzu 6. I have killed all enemy units I can see from here.
Send more enemy units here!
This is Urzu 12. I'm on the ground.
I have B quarter under control and secure.
The hostages are all safe.
This is Urzu 2. I have A quarter under control and secure.
Twenty-three hostages are confirmed. They're all safe.
This is Urzu 7. I destroyed four enemy AS's, but...
Urzu 1 to all units. I haven't encountered Venom yet.
Did anybody see it?
Negative, I can't find it around here.
Me neither.
Nega... No, affirmative.
This is... What kind of joke is this?
What happened, Urzu 2?
What's that?
Everybody at Mithril! I missed you so much!
Especially Kashim, I'll never forget what I owe you from the desert.
Gauron!
It's party time! Let's dance!
Urzu 1 to Urzu 6. Can you shoot him?
Negative, I can't secure a line of fire from this position.
I'm currently moving.
Urzu 10, what about missiles?
I ran out of bullets, Sir!
Oh, crap!
Urzu 7, go forward! All others stay back and give support!
7, roger.
Is that the trick?
Affirmative, don't get close to him.
Urzu 2 to all units.
Why don't you aim at the weapon instead of the body.
Aim at the magazine of the Gatling gun.
What happened?
I'm all right, slight damage. Hurry up!
Urzu 7!
What are you doing? You're getting slow.
Did we get him?
Be careful!
You did a good job, guys!
Danigan! Stay back!
Should I use... Al, the Lambda driver!
Al! Answer me!
I can't use it?!
Sousuke!
Mao?
Pull yourself together! Come on!
Bang!
Mao!
Urzu 2! What happened? Read me! Urzu 2!
Urzu 7, what happened?
This is Urzu 7. Mao is injured. Her safety is uncertain.
What? Repeat!
Mao is injured! Go help her. Hurry!
Al, why? Why couldn't I use it?
Answer, Al. Why won't the Lambda driver start?
Sousuke, it's me.
Kurz?
Why don't you take Venom to the east side of the island?
Return to the building we saw before.
What are you going to do?
It'll be okay. Leave it to me.
How far are you going to run?
All right, stop there.
I'm so disappointed, Kashim. I thought you were better than that.
Did you do it?
I don't know. Give me the gun.
Stay back.
You did it again. It's overheated.
The situation's totally reversed from what it was a few minutes ago.
I surrender. You can do whatever you want.
Gauron! Damn you...
Why don't you shoot me? You'll regret it.
Urzu 2, respond! Urzu 2!
Mao, stay with me!
Mao!
Next Full Metal Panic!
The injured animal starts attacking in desperation.
Dying fellow soldiers, separating hearts...
