Grandpa...
Wh-What's going on?
Is this...
an attack from outside?
The outer wall of Block 95 is at damage level 7.
We can't maintain the colony's life support systems!
What's happening with the colony's rotation control systems?
Response teams, get a move on!
Commander Bruzar! Please authorize launch orders for the Diva!
The Diva, huh? That's the new battleship currently in port.
With that ship and the Gundam, we stand a chance against the UE!
But the Gundam is...
We have an urgent alert from the surveillance program!
The explosions have produced abnormal vibrations within the colony.
At this rate, Nora will undergo torsional collapse within 6 hours.
What?!
I'll prepare the escape crafts right away!
It's too late for that!
Each escape craft can only carry 100 people.
Who knows how long a full evacuation would take!
But then...
Battleship Diva, prepare for launch!
Contact Captain Dian Fonroid!
Roger that!
Commander...
We're not sending it out into combat.
We're using that ship to save the residents of Nora...
That newly-built battleship!
It is the space age, hundreds of years after people began to emigrate to space colonies.
The wars that were once fought for control of the Earth Sphere had ended
and it seemed that an era of peace had arrived.
However, this fleeting peace collapsed.
A colony was destroyed by an unidentified enemy that suddenly appeared.
The curtain was rising on a new battle that would continue over 100 years.

We looked up at the sun that was to be
bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
We looked up at the sun that was to be

We sang a song that knifed into our hearts

Walking the path that leads towards the lights of hope

I feel a pain in my heart like a lance from the brightening sky

So much that they blind me

Episode 2 The Power Of AGE
This is our home, Nora.
Nora's center, the colony core, is completely separated
from the residential areas on the inner walls of the colony.
As a result, it has remained virtually undamaged from the attack.
We're going to evacuate the residents here.
If we use the loading elevators that connect all the areas
we'll be able to evacuate everyone much faster than using the escape craft.
But all of Nora is undergoing torsional collapse!
That's where the Diva comes in.
We'll connect the Diva to the core, and pull it straight out.
The colony core does have an independent life support system.
Yes. Our time limit is 5 hours.
We have no room for error, but it's not impossible!
I'm counting on all of you!
Yes, sir!
Ed, run a simulation of the colony core structure and send it over to me!
Commander...
Please let me update Captain Dian on the situation.
Yes, sir!
Organize a duty post for plasma propulsion.
Honette, advance notice to all duty posts!
All right, I'll leave it to you.
However, I doubt the enemy will keep quiet.
Issuing an evacuation order for all civilians!
Yes, our only hope may be that Gundam...
Don't shove! Don't shove!
Evacuation alert.
All residents should follow instructions
and proceed to the elevator halls leading to the agricultural block.
I repeat.
All residents should follow instructions
and proceed to the elevator halls leading to the agricultural block.
Prioritize the life support-related materials! Everything else can be tossed out!
That's delicate equipment!
5th platoon is heading for Area D!
Don't drive recklessly!
Is it really going to be okay?
Vargas! Where are they taking the AGE Builder?
Don't crowd the vehicles here! Be efficient!
It's being taken aboard a Federation ship.
3rd platoon, please relocate closer to the shaft.
After all, we can't let it be destroyed here.
Guide the residents and...
What about the Gundam?
It'll be moved too.
The AGE System isn't complete without the AGE Builder and the Gundam together.
Only load the essentials on the ship.
Take the Gundam to the ship yourself.
We'll leave the vehicles in the military port.
Huh?
Take the beam spray gun and the shield just in case you run into combat.
I'll follow later.
Run into combat?
Flit!
Make it clear to the mobile suit pilots!
Emily... And Dique, too!
They have to carry all of their own stuff!
Wow!
That includes extra ammunition!
Flit's really piloting a mobile suit... Hey!
Emily, why did you come here?!
Hurry up and go to the elevators!
Aren't you coming, Flit?
Chief! Message from Command!
I have to transport the Gundam to the ship.
If it won't fit the elevators, take it to the port!
Don't tell me...
You're going on the ship too?
I don't know...
But the Gundam won't move without me.
You're joking!
Anyhow, you guys should hurry up and evacuate!
You too, Haro!
You too, you too!
Hey wait, Flit!
Hurry up or you'll be left behind!
Just wait a minute!
Honestly! Don't you know we're worried about you?
But Flit's right. We should head to the elevators...
E-Emily! Where are you going?!
The ship! I can't leave Flit on his own!
What? Th-That's crazy!
At this rate, Nora will be destroyed too.
Just like last time...
That's...
A person! Did she not evacuate in time?
Just hang on, I'm coming...
Hey, are you okay?
Wh-Why are you running away?
Hurry up! We can get to the dock from over there!
How do we open this?
What are you children doing here?
This hoistway is military property!
We're trying to get on a ship in the dock...
Don't be ridiculous!
You civilians should hurry up and evacuate to the agricultural block!
Emily!
Opening the hatch.
All right!
Now go!
See, I knew we'd get told off. Let's head back.
You've got to be kidding. We can't just turn back after we've come this far.
Don't tell me... E-Emily?
Emily! Wait!
Emily! Oh for...
What did Commander Bruzar say?
It's an idiotic plan.
He wants to pull the core out of the colony, and he expects the Diva to control it!
What shall we do, Captain Fonroid?
We'll ignore him, of course.
Unless we receive orders from central command,
our first priority is to ensure the safety of the ship.
Then...
The Diva will immediately retreat from the dangerous situation at Nora.
They're just gonna abandon the people of Nora?!
But they're the Federation Forces!
Who is it?!
You're Deputy Commander Grodek?
You arrived quickly, Captain Dian Fonroid.
I've come to brief you on the plan.
Hmph. You know as well as I do...
We report directly to the Federation Forces Command Center.
We don't take orders from Bruzar.
Oh, is that so?
Got the message? Then get out of the way!
Grodek! Y-You bastard!
Don't move. If I raise the output, this thing could kill you.
Are you out of your mind? This is flagrant insubordination!
If this is a crime, then I'll accept the punishment.
Assuming we both survive, that is...
Wh-What's wrong?
Did we just see something we really shouldn't have?
Roger that.
Commander. We're the only ones left. Let's head for the Diva.
No. I will remain here.
What?!
This is the only place where we can separate the core from the colony.
It can't be done remotely.
But that's...
Commander, are you saying you intended this from the start?
Don't worry. This base has a special escape route exclusive to commanders.
An exclusive...escape route...?
You should go ahead.
Save everyone with the Diva. Save the people of Nora.
I understand, sir.
I leave the Diva in your hands.
Load the Gundam onto it and go forward.
It is humanity's last ray of hope.
Yes, sir!
An exclusive escape route...
I'm surprised I could make that up and say it with a straight face.
Whoa! Look, Emily!
It's the Federation Forces' newly-built battleship, the Diva!
The Diva?
This is the first time I've seen the real thing!
It's so big and cool-looking!
Careful, careful...
Grandpa!
Hm?
Emily! What are you doing over here?!
Didn't you evacuate to the colony core?
It's a long story. Let us board the ship, too.
H-Hey, Emily!
Don't wander around!
Oh jeez...
Where's the bridge crew?
And Captain Dian?
I'll check...
Huh? That's strange...
I can't bring up the crew data.
What does this mean?
Fine. This is an emergency situation.
We'll launch the Diva even if we have to do it ourselves.
All hands, begin preparations!
Is this all the security information that the military has?
I hope you don't mind...
But I'll be taking the Diva into my own hands.
Wait, don't run away!
I'm coming down to you now.
I'm not an enemy!
Are you okay? Do you have any injuries—
Th-That's right, we've got to hurry!
We're running out of time!
Huh? Oh, don't be afraid of that.
I built that Gundam.
Gun...dam?
That's right!
Let's go. The Gundam will save us, I'm sure.
I-I hope we make it to the ship in time.
I'm sorry about running away from you earlier.
Huh...?
Oh, don't worry about it.
My name's Flit. What's yours?
Yurin.
Yurin, huh... Yurin, why were you...
Why were you in a place like...
It looks like the UE attack is continuing.
Adams.
Is something about this enemy attack unsettling to you?
Something unsettling?
Never mind, it's nothing.
If the enemy's goal was to destroy this colony,
then all they had to do was attack the energy plants.
Then why are they...
Deputy Commander Grodek?!
No.
From now on, I'm captain of this ship.
Huh?
We just got a message from the EFF Command Center, Big Ring.
As of today, I've been appointed Captain of the Diva.
The navigation crew and pilots have already boarded, correct?
Y-Yes, sir!
The Diva will launch immediately.
Start connecting us to the colony core!
Wait! The Gundam hasn't been brought on board yet!
We're out of time. The Gundam will have to escape Nora on its own.
The Diva is prepared for launch.
All crew working outside the ship are ordered to return.
The Diva is prepared for launch.
All crew working outside the ship are ordered to return.
Launch?! The Gundam isn't on board yet!
Flit...
Mooring system separation confirmed.
Maintain alert status while moving to launch phase 1.
Are you all right?
It looks like we've fallen down to the bulkhead area on the lowest level.
In that case, we're going to have to bust our way out of here with brute force!
Straight ahead...
Huh?
Turn right ahead...
You can tell how to get out?
Yes. You should do as I say.
Okay!
Don't forget that we have very little time left.
All hands, commence procedures for connecting the colony core!
P-Please wait!
We've spotted what appears to be a mobile suit in our current path.
It's believed to be the same type that attacked Nora!
Suspend the procedures!
Level 1 battle stations!
Wh-What is this?
No good! It's closed off!
Don't worry, just keep going.
Huh?
4, 3, 2...
1!
W-We made it into space!
Gundam sighted! It looks like it escaped Nora safely!
It made it!
It's entering combat against a mobile suit-type UE!
No way!
He made it out, only to run directly into the enemy?!
We can't just stand around!
Now's the time to activate the AGE System!
AGE System?
How can I fight if my beams don't have any effect?
Flit! Can you hear me?
Vargas!
We haven't done a trial run, but we're activating the AGE System!
That's right, we have the AGE system! Do we have data on the enemy?
You got enough data during your first battle!
We'll start constructing new weapons right away!
I'm counting on you, Vargas!
Grandpa, what in the world is the AGE System?
It's an incredible system that Flit created.
It's a mobile suit reconstruction system that's based on the principles of biological evolution.
By experiencing combat, the system comes up with new blueprints to make itself even stronger.
So the system just makes stronger weapons on its own?
That's awesome!
Oh, here it comes!
Beginning high-speed molding.
AGE Builder, activate!
All right! It's complete!
It's finished already?!
That's right.
The AGE Builder can carve out frames from ingots of raw materials
and assemble them at high speed.
It's amazing...
A beam...rifle?
This is no ordinary beam rifle.
It's a new weapon that increases penetrating power by spinning the trajectory of the beam like a drill!
It's called the DOTS Rifle!
Flit!
I'm launching a weapon for the Gundam! Be sure to catch it!
Vargas!
Here we go!
It's here!
So this is the DOTS Rifle...
Why, you!
Wow...
We did it!
The Gundam has destroyed the hostile mobile suit-type!
All right!
We did it!
Yeah!
It's a success!
What's wrong?!
New targets confirmed!
Incoming enemy mobile suit-types!
There's more?
No.
Huh?
These ones...
are different...from the last one.

The Twisted Colony
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Unknown Enemy
HHHHHH
If you didn't get the password this week, you can get it next week too! Expect it during the broadcast!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Unknown Enemy is a mysterious force that suddenly attacked humantiy.
We call them UE, for short.
We don't yet know what their humanoid mobile suit-like weapons actually are.
Look Forward To Next Time!
