Labor: A robot specifically designed for construction work.
Labors allow dramatic advances in construction...
but also in crime.
To combat these new Labor crimes...
the police created a special unit: The Patrol Labor.
And thus, the birth of Patlabor.

Vocational Options
Prepare to land.
Within seconds, the Helldivers are at their target...
using rapid-fire guns on bunker 3.
Ready.
Fire.
Wow! Pretty impressive, up close.
They only give this demo once a year.
I can see why it's so popular.
Captain! Isn't there some way we can take one of those guns?
I suspect they're keeping a close eye on them.
Are you Special Vehicles, Second Section?
Yes.
I'm Lt. Komiya of the air-drop team.
Captain Fuwa asked me to show you around.
This is so damn cool!
...and as you can see...
I want one!
...it's been set from the middle.
Oh, I see!
Thank you for the invitations. Captain Nagumo sends her best.
Did you like what you saw?
An excellent demonstration. We couldn't do half so well.
I'd like to ask you something that's been bothering me.
Purely on specs, some of the new Labors beat our Helldivers.
Are these new models going to be trouble for us?
We're concerned, too,
but our hectic schedule doesn't leave much spare time for worry.
Of course.
Well, enjoy yourselves.
Captain Fuwa, the downloads have all finished.
Hey, Asuma, who's better? A Helldiver, or Alphonse?
Helldivers use an Ingram chassis,
but the missions are so different...
Yeah, they can't compare.
Can you start one up?
Of course.
Do it.
Officer Izumi, nice to see you again.
Nice to see you again.
Interested in the Helldiver?
He's pretty interesting looking.
Care to try it out?
I'd like to hear how it compares to an Ingram.
The handling's pretty tricky, so you may tire quickly.
Just let me at him!
Try not to damage it!
I know.
Okay.
Well?
The handling was much easier than I expected.
How did it feel?
Not as smooth as Alphonse, but he was pretty good.
He had a very light touch.
So you give it a passing grade? Want to ride one permanently?
We're looking for top pilots.
But I'm happily employed as a police officer.
True. For now.
Enough for today. Dismissed. Don't be late tomorrow.
Officer Izumi!
Captain Fuwa asked me to give this to you.
What is it?
Reference material. You may find it useful.
Huh? Reference?
Hurry up!
Wait for me!
I wonder what it is?
Open it and find out.
But what if it self-destructs in five seconds?
Shinohara AV-99 Operations Manual
It's the manual!
Why would she give you that?
She said she was looking for good pilots.
Was she serious about that job offer?
What?
That's pretty flattering. And the Helldiver is kind of cute.
I better think it over.
Are you serious?
Are you really serious?
Of course not.
Besides, I'm sure she was just joking.
It was incredibly dull here. Nothing happened.
Well, beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
You're in a sour mood today.
I'm just the suspicious type.
So how did it go yesterday?
Oh, great. Thanks so much.
What's wrong?
The Self Defense Force is a breed apart.
Well, of course.
Special Vehicles, Second Section.
Oh, hello.
I want you to know I was serious.
Uh, well...
You'd have the latest equipment, and plenty of training.
Don't you want to improve, to make a difference?
We can give you that opportunity.
Of course I want to improve, but this is different...
Different?
I'm really flattered, but...
Target practice is beginning.
I'll be right there.
Let's get together soon. Okay, bye.
Lt. Komiya, why did you apply for the air-drop team?
Ever since childhood, I have dreamed of being a Labor pilot.
Good enough for me.
There is a 402 on the Kawasaki side, at the breakwater.
Division 2, prepare to mobilize. I repeat...
Noa!
What?
Did Fuwa just call you?
What'd she say?
Well, uh...
Get moving, you two! We have to mobilize!
Later.
We'll lift the crane so you can move the steel frame.
Be careful, the pilot's inside.
Roger!
Try to prevent any vibrations or shocks.
We don't want another collapse.
Roger.
More carefully, Officer Ota.
Yes, ma'am.
Check on the pilot.
Noa, what are you doing?
Huh? Oh, roger.
I... I...
Noa, what are you doing?
This is no time for daydreaming! Help Ota!
I expect better from you.
I'm very sorry. I was distracted.
Our work doesn't give time-outs or second chances.
When we mobilize, it's for real.
Try to keep focused from now on. That's all.
Yes, sir. Thank you very much.
Is the pilot going to be okay?
He's conscious, so I think he'll be okay.
What point does my job have, if I can't save people?
That's why we have practice. Learn something from this.
Well, let's go. Everyone's waiting.
Okay, get with it!
Miss Izumi looks really depressed. Is she okay?
She'll snap out of it soon. She's pretty simple.
Machine 2, you're out of bullets.
Fast practices are so unsatisfying!
Paint bullets are expensive.
We aren't the Self Defense Force!
That's all, Miss Izumi.
Catching criminals requires marksmanship!
We need to have more practice!
But we do more than that! We handle accidents and disasters.
We can't spend all our time on target practice.
Exactly. Balance is essential.
We must conquer weaknesses while polishing strengths. Understand?
Yes!
Good.
Are you still at it?
He's covered in gunpowder.
See you later.
Asuma...
Why do you do this?
How about you?
You first.
I'll tell you after you tell me.
I'm too embarrassed.
Yeah, right.
Take care. Bye.
Just a little more polishing.
Hello.
Are you thirsty?
Were you watching that whole thing?
Let's go talk.
Thanks for the loan.
Hold on to it. After all, I have the original.
It's just that...
Did you think I was joking?
No, but I like my current line of work.
Don't worry. Most of what we do is the same as Special Vehicles.
I know you don't hate Labors.
I like them.
Then why don't you want to improve your skills?
I do. But that isn't the real question.
What is?
Help!
I've been robbed! He's in that car! Police!
Call it in for me!
Miss Izumi!
I can use the back roads to cut ahead of him.
Excuse me!
You idiot!
Get out of your car! You're under arrest for robbery!
Running only makes it worse!
You won't get away!
Officer Izumi, get in.
Now we've got him.
Pull over and halt.
Stop your car.
Didn't you hear me? Stop your car!
Halt.
Just try and get me!
Try it!
Never underestimate a policewoman!
I'm glad no one was hurt.
But somebody was.
Your left cheek.
Oh, this? It's nothing.
I'll take my manual back now.
I'm giving up.
Good morning!
Morning. You're early.
Good morning.
Morning.
I gave back the manual.
Oh.
What? Did something happen yesterday? Did you see Fuwa?
It's too embarrassing.
You have to tell me! Please? Pretty please?

This story is fiction...
but in 10 years, who knows?
In a hurry, Division 1 gets assigned a new Labor: AV Zero.
But Special Vehicles as a rule usually tries to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Where's that bravery of the Self Defense Forces.
Seems like the Ingram is getting ridiculed. What will you do, Noa?
Alphonse will not lose to Zero!
