Someone's calling out to me right now
The weathervane is showing me the way
I sat down upon this hill along the way
And murmured about how nice it'd be to fly
I wanna fly away!
To seek the answer
I realized that even mistakes
And regret can become your wings
Feel the wind inside your body
And now spread your arms out wide
Straight into the sun
That's where I'm gonna fly right now
Escape the night of anguish
I'll fly further than I have
I can fly away! I can fly away!
G-Got it!
Okay then!
Right!
You know, this is really heavy.
Don't complain.
Now, let's go.
And so, just like before,
I'm kinda going about everyday life as a member of the Gekko.
What Talho mentioned...
about Eureka being something called a Coralian...
Honestly, I don't really understand much of it.
To me, Eureka is just a regular girl.
Like what Holland told me before.
I thought about taking Eureka with me and running away.
I thought how nice it would be...
to search together for a place where we could live in peace.
But...
But, I don't think that was quite it.
I want to know.
About all the things that I don't know.
And when I know all of these mysteries,
even then, I'm going to go through with it.
With protecting you.
That's the promise I made to Ray and Charles, Eureka.
I guess I have to tell Holland about this.
EPISODE 30 CHANGE OF LIFE
"Holland is sleeping. Keep quiet. KEEP OUT!! - Talho"
He's asleep.
Holland is.
Talho...
You don't like it, do you, Talho?
About my blood running in Holland's body.
Holland's never forgotten.
About Diane, the one he lost.
About your sister.
How does Holland know about Sis?
That's the sort of man he is.
He can't forget about the woman who dumped him.
So unfashionable, stupid, clumsy...
A fool who only knows how to act physically.
He's really a good-for-nothing!
I'm sorry, Renton. That Holland is someone like this.
Talho.
It's true that I really liked my sister.
But I'm not her.
I am who I am.
Besides, I think you're the only one...
who can support Holland right now, Talho.
Idiot.
What? We're headed to an army laboratory?!
Are you serious about this?
It can't be helped.
There's no other place where we can repair the Nirvash.
Only Tresor Laboratories, where it was made, will do.
And yet, you're getting scary stuff like that ready,
like we're about to rob someone.
Better safe than sorry. A fake ID code has already been sent out.
We'll charge in and seize them.
Make sure to grab one person as a hostage!
But, I don't think there'll be a need for that.
It's true that they're an army facility,
but they're engineers first and military personnel second.
Right?
If they're mechanics, seeing the Nirvash now, I just know they'll be okay.
Especially if it was where he was made!
I see. Birds of a feather, right?
That's why I don't think any of you will need guns!
It's all right. I won't hurt anyone with it.
It's just a precaution.
I'll do the direct negotiations.
Holland!
Wait a minute, what do you think you're doing?!
I'm fine.
But hey, you've got issues with Tresor...
Don't worry.
Trust me.
TRESOR LABORATORIES
I wonder if he's all right.
Yeah. I remember that Morita, the lab's chief,
and Holland didn't get along well.
The engineer geeks admit defeat.
What the!
Is the archetype really changing?
Yes. Nothing fits the previous standards now.
This can't be. It's impossible...
And yet the truth is sitting there before our eyes.
Who are the riders?
Behind you.
I want you to make new movement and transmission systems.
And a new cowl, too.
You've got some nerve for a deserter who stole military equipment!
Please!
Please, save Nirvash!
Only the people here can save him.
But if the army finds out about this...
It's all right. I'll forge the report documents.
Right now, this lab is practically in chaos...
with the preposterous orders from the army's new squadron.
Every lab researcher is ready to drop from exhaustion.
I see. Then I guess there's no choice.
I'll go ask somewhere else.
However, that may be all the more reason that they need a break.
A break called the Type Zero.
Thank you!
Sorry about this.
Engineers are all like this.
Message to all departments.
We're changing shifts again today.
I repeat, we're changing shifts again today.
I will relay the details to all departments in 35 minutes.
Chief.
I have a favor to ask.
Starting tonight, all shifts will be extended by 8 hours.
Circular Special design as well as rapid prototyping.
Construction details will be sent out to all departments in 45 minutes.
Move the Circular Special from the hangar to B wing!
Immediately begin measurements on each part!
Poor thing, he's all naked now.
It's all right, Eureka.
The people here have the same air as my grandpa.
They're a little weird, but I can believe in them.
Yeah.
Oh, so this is where you've been hiding?
Sonia!
It's been a while, Eureka.
Looks like you're well.
You know her?
Yeah.
This was where I was first brought to when they first found me.
I know Sonia from back then.
Found...
That's right. Eureka was "found" as a Coralian.
Eureka is...
I see, so this must be the much-rumored Renton.
How do you do? I'm Sonia Wakabayashi,
the head of the technical research team here.
Pleased to meet you.
How do you do? I'm Renton Thurston.
You should get some rest, too. You must be tired.
Really! Thanks to our selfish leader.
But things are different this time around, aren't they?
Holland made up his mind in his own way,
and is trying to take responsibility for the situation.
That's why even you were convinced about Eureka.
I'm not sure if I can be convinced of each and every thing.
But I just didn't want Holland running away from the truth.
Still...
It's not because I want him to take responsibility for it.
I just wanted Holland to stay as Holland.
That's all.
If you're been thinking that far...
You know, Talho.
What?
Stop dressing like that already.
You're right.
He's too dense, after all.
In 120 seconds, we will conduct an experiment for Orange.
This is where they design the army KLFs and stuff, right?
You know, it seems so peaceful here.
I agree.
The guys here are fully aware of how the weapons they make...
are used when they design them, of course.
This lab was originally for...
experimenting on unearthed archetypes.
It's not like they've been making tools for killing people from the get-go.
What the hell was that?
The entry surface area is still too large.
What kinda weapon is that?
That's so unlike you.
You can stay asleep, you know.
Doesn't that weapon have something to do...
with the new squadron the army's started?
That's classified.
Dewey's on the move, isn't he?
Dunno.
In any case, as for the guys who ordered it,
we've no idea how they were created or who they are.
It's a mystery squadron.
They call it the Ageha Squad.
Ageha?!
The objective that we're supposed to meet is to give it...
as strong an impact as possible to the deepest area of scubs.
It'll be loaded onto the AFX, a remote-controlled ballistic bomber.
The missile itself is 24 times denser than usual.
Furthermore, the actual product...
will be using an antiphase excitation warhead.
Pollute the air and lay waste to the land...
Sure they haven't been having some absurd delusions about the future?
Orange design team,
begin immediate recalculation of the entry surface area.
Once the Gekko is fully repaired, we can leave any time. Before then...
Improving the specs of the Type Zero? That's a piece of cake.
You just think about repairing that body of yours.
In the end... I guess I was running away as well.
I have to change, too.
This is amazing. The archetype has really evolved!
The problem isn't just the external parts.
It may require a complete overhaul of the layout.
You think it will take some time?
Even if we get a mold using the light-modeler we have here,
the touch-ups are all done with the engineers' own hands.
It'll take upwards of 10 days.
We're troubling you, I guess.
We need events like this every so often.
And...
I don't see him around.
He's just on an on-site research trip.
He'll be back in no time.
Really, does he have good timing or bad?
See, over there? Look closely.
Near the cockpit on the back.
You're right.
It's as if he's telling us to make two spaces here.
See?
This was what separated this first archetype from all the others.
All archetypes that were unearthed later on...
may have looked similar on the outside,
but this was the only archetype that...
was structured for two seats from the beginning.
Why were there two seats prepared on this one?
And why are archetypes in the shape of giant humans?
The debate over the explanation for this structure still goes on.
It would have been nice if Eureka had answered all of these questions.
I'm sorry. I don't have any memories of when I was created.
I know!
Our chief made a movie. Want to watch?
Movie?
"LIGHT FINDING OPERATION Initial Development" © Tresor Laboratories
It was unknown exactly how long ago the humanoid artifact we unearthed was created.
Fortunately, as it was in exceptionally good condition,
the superior technical merits of Tresor Laboratories...
were able to almost completely reconstruct it.
"Archetype Laboratory"
It was discovered that applying electric shocks to each part...
of this artifact caused it to move as we wished it to.
The circuits believed to be the neurological transmission system...
were concentrated on its back, and it was believed that...
the command point was located here.
With the addition of the power transmission system,
the artifact was confirmed to be humanoid...
and able to mimic the movements of humans.
However, the autonomous aspects could not be located,
and its operation was the toughest hurdle.
When operated by Eureka, the girl rescued close to...
the excavation site at the same time as the recovery of the artifact,
the results are obvious.
It now assumes an automobile-like form.
It was the mission of Tresor Laboratories...
to use its considerable technical skills to draw out...
the hidden powers of this artifact as much as possible.
Knowing that using trapars as its power source was optimal,
and to maximize its potential, we added a function...
similar to the popular sport of Lift riding.
The creation of this giant ref-board...
also proved to be a great technical challenge for us.
"Garage Thurston"
Gramps...
I remember things from around this time.
The artifact was named the Nirvash,
and became the template for the LFOs...
that were later found and created.
END © Tresor Laboratories
It was a strange movie.
Yeah. Oh! Linck!
What, you guys were here, too?
Renton, why are you fidgeting?
You were trying to touch Mama while it was all dark, weren't you?
Wha...?! Th-Th-Th-That's not true!
You kids!
Where's Maurice?
Dunno.
I don't know.
You guys weren't with him?
Right.
Maurice has been acting funny lately.
Like he's trying not to look at you so much, Mama.
Renton, move!
Mama?
Eureka!
Maurice! Maurice, where are you?!
What's wrong?
You've changed. Talho, you've changed.
No. I just changed back to who I was.
You know, I thought about throwing everything away.
All things considered, it was really tough on me.
But, things turned out this way, and I got to thinking.
In the end, nothing had changed.
How I felt before. My emotions from my past.
It's just that everything went back to the way it was before.
It's strange. Really, it's strange.
I think it's all right.
I mean, from my viewpoint, you've changed, Talho.
And I went through changes without realizing it, too.
So, you've changed as well, Talho. But it's nothing to be scared of.
Geez... I can't win against you no matter what I do.
I'm really jealous.
Sheesh, he's still a stubborn old guy.
Chief.
What's wrong?
I saw the movie.
My grandpa was in the movie.
My grandpa...
Axel Thurston is what you would call my mentor.
Your grandfather is a very strict man.
He had a huge argument with the higher-ups and then blew out of here.
After all that, I visited him in his Bell Forest garage once.
I just couldn't get the ref-board for the Type Zero to work right.
So I bowed my head down to old Thurston and had him finish it up.
Your hometown is a very nice place.
It's a boring town, with not much of anything.
We are entering the Circular Special shift!
Hey, hey, hey! Your mic is howling!
Wh-Wh-What are you going to do?
What the hell is going on?
What's up with this old-fashioned music?
It's making me wake up all pissed off!
You haven't changed.
You've always hated songs like this.
Shut up.
Even saying that, someday we're going to be old men and women, too.
Shut up.
Eureka!
They've already started making it?!
Yeah!
See? Nirvash is happy, too!
I'm so happy for you, Nirvash!
You can change, too!
Just like me!

Na Na Na why so why?
Try to imagine
Just you like
The things you like
There's not just one
Door that you've opened up
Is there an answer there or not?
I don't know. I don't know right now.
We're always lost
Adults saying "You're just a child"
But it's fun trying to work it out
Maybe you won't work it soon
It's all never ending, oh my!
Don't give up till you've solved it!
And even if you mess it up
Just say it's all "all right!"
Swim in the sea of imagination with all your might
Na Na Na why so why?
Try to imagine
Just you like
The things you like
There's not just one
Tomorrow known only to you
Arrows of light pierce the land to force the world to awaken.
Their awakening traps people in their nightmares.
