Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiator Shindo Kojiro was
was absorbed by Kado, a huge structure that appeared at Haneda Airport.
The mysterious being, Yaha-kui zaShunina, asks for his assistance,
and he becomes the negotiator between zaShunina and mankind.
Yaha-kui zaShunina wishes to negotiate with the Japanese government,
and the government
appoints international negotiator Tsukai Saraka to represent them.
A conversation with the mysterious being and mankind was about to begin.
Wam
Get back behind the ropes!
Damn it!
If only I could get inside...
Can you talk to it?
I don't know.
I'll try.
There's much I wish to tell them.
Shindo.
All information changes in the process of transmission.
This change is not a good thing for the information itself,
or those who handle it.
A telephone game?
Your reply indicates that 90% of the information was transmitted.
This is another method
of communication that will decrease the amount of change in the transmission process.
I see.
There's a problem, though.
Presently, I am increasing the precision by limiting myself to linguistic information,
but attempts to send information
via sight and other bodily senses simultaneously
increases uncertainty.
Which means?
What you experienced 20 hours ago will occur.
No.
Don't do that, no matter what.
I don't want to do it, either.
My goal is merely to
transfer information over a wide range without having it altered.
I want you to offer me an appropriate method.
In other words...
I am the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Foreign Policy Bureau
United Nations Policy Division Primary Official,
Shindo Kojiro.
We're gonna have to stay on our toes, then.
I'm an International Negotiator for the Ministry,
acting on behalf of the Japanese government delegation, Tsukai Saraka.
She's young.
But I think I can talk to her.
Yaha-kui zaShunina wishes to speak with the Japanese government.
Our delegation has been given complete authority in this matter by the government.
In addition,
the Prime Minister and all cabinet officials are on standby at the official residence
and can be contacted immediately.
It's possible to start negotiations immediately.
As for the location of the talks...
Yaha-kui zaShunina desires
that the talks be held publicly, with media access available.
P-Publicly?
He wants to broadcast our encounter with the unknown to the whole world?
Gonno-san!
I love you, alien!
Accept it.
Prime Minister!
This is no longer simply the government's problem.
It involves all our citizens and all of humanity.
I have no objection to allowing media access.
As for the location...
There'll be press from all over the world.
If it's indoors they may not all be able to fit.
Outdoors, then?
There're safety concerns...
No, it may actually be better to be in an open area.
Let's make it right here.
Here?
zaShunina!
No objections.
We've checked all the possible sniper points in the area.
The coast guard is deployed for the sea,
but what about the sky?
I'm less worried about security in the air,
and more worried about accidents.
Anyone with equipment, please get in the left line.
Security's pretty tight.
Anyone with equipment get in the left line!
If there's a time for tight security, it's now.
So, we're finally meeting an alien, huh?
Is that an alien, Gonno-san?
Don't ask me.
But if it's not an alien, what is it?
Maybe... he's from the future?
Humanity's got a bright future, huh?
Or maybe he's God?
God?
I don't think so, but...
Tsukai-kun.
How did it feel to fight on the front lines?
To be honest, not that good.
It felt like he was in control the whole time.
I mean Shindo Kojiro...
Not Yaha-kui zaShunina?
The being named Yaha-kui zaShunina is essentially a complete mystery.
There's simply so little information that you can't predict or plan what he'll do.
It's more like dealing with a natural phenomenon than a person.
But...
Shindo Kojiro-san should be a human,
but something seems off.
He's acting far too calm around that strange being.
I've done a good number of negotiations at the United Nations,
but I've never dealt with anyone like him.
He can be trusted.
I don't know.
People are complicated.
What is this?
It's for sitting and resting your body.
A folding chair doesn't suit you.
Doesn't suit me?
Suiting someone...
An extremely imprecise concept.
Neither mean, mode, or median.
It contains a massive amount of information.
You continue to communicate this vague definition
without either fixing or broadening it?
I judge this to be a part of the development towards
a faster form of linguistic communication.
Sorry.
Forget it.
No, I will not.
It is a good word, Shindo.
I know something that suits humans.
What's that?
Yes, this is Shindo.
Understood.
It's time.
Prime Minister's Residence, Large Conference Room
The Japanese government delegation is about to hold talks with
Haneda, Tokyo
Japanese Government Holds Meeting With Alien Being
the mysterious being known as Yaha-kui zaShunina.
Humanity's First Encounter with the Unknown The Rest of the World Watches
Live from Haneda International Airport
The huge object, known as "Kado," appeared at
Haneda Airport yesterday, continues to take up part of the runway,
and has shut the airport down.
Passenger Aircraft 777, Identical to the Captured Plane
There's information that 251 Passengers are also being kept with Kado,
Passenger Aircraft 777, Identical to the Captured Plane
Are the passengers and crew safe? Archival Footage of Haneda International Airport
Captain
Hidaka Yukio
Co-Captain
Shinohara Hidehiko
and there is concern for their safety.
Kado is causing many problems,
but it is believed to belong to the being calling himself Yaha-kui zaShunina,
who appeared from within it.
What is Yaha-kui zaShunina?
What will happen with the problems surrounding Kado?
Will the passengers be released?
9:00 PM, April 26th.
A historic discussion is about to begin.
First, I wish to rejoice in this meeting.
Our encounter will bring great benefits to the world.
He has the concept of "rejoicing"?
First, Yaha-kui zaShunina wishes
to resolve the information inequality that exists between us.
Information inequality?
Between him and us humans.
Does that mean you're telling us about yourself?
Who am I?
Where have I come from?
What is Kado?
I would like to translate these answers into human language,
and explain.
What do you think?
It's extremely beneficial.
Additional information will give us room to negotiate.
We have no objections, either.
First, I would like to call this world "The Universe."
I will use this information as a base in my discussion.
I have come from outside the universe.
From outside...
...the universe?
zaShunina, it would be faster to show them.
Excuse me.
We're going to use that water.
Hey, what's going on?
That's an arm.
An arm? Whose arm?
I don't know!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
I've never seen higher dimensions before!
What happened?
I just passed through the outside of the universe, my own territory,
to take the water.
That territory is adjacent to every point in the universe.
It is called "Novo."
Novo?
Translated, it would mean "Anisotropic."
Anisotropic...
This is how it's written.
Anisotropic
Essentially, it's a world with higher dimensions than our universe.
A higher-dimensional universe would be the easiest way to put it.
Shindo.
That expression will cause misunderstanding.
The translation "higher-dimensional world" is inappropriate.
"Anisotropic" is most appropriate.
You said you'd let me handle the localization and explanation.
I want to fix misunderstandings.
What's important now is speed and their accepting this.
If you're only going to allow the most appropriate things we'll fall behind.
We can take time later to correct it.
I accept this.
Continue.
That is Kado.
A boundary object I have manifested
between this place and the anisotropic.
Beyond Kado is a world between the anisotropic and the universe.
Kado is a boundary object, but at the same time also a transforming mechanism.
A transforming mechanism?
The boundaries are highly exclusionary.
Kado has the processing functions required to cross them.
I am visiting the universe by doing the processing on myself.
However, it is still impossible to get rid of all the friction
and discord that results from this.
We call this exclusionary phenomenon "Fregonics."
Fregonics?
Your word?
Discord. Friction—
Fregonics is fine.
First, I made Kado manifest in this world.
Then, I made a body for myself, which made individual action possible.
As for the passenger plane you enveloped during this?
I want it to be understood as a unexpected event.
I had no choice but to have Kado do the
appropriate processing in order to maintain their biological functions.
The reverse procedure is presently being performed.
The plan is for all passengers will be released inside a month.
Prime Minister!
That's the first big problem...
Why did you come to Japan?
The Unocle is stable here.
What is Unocle?
The language to describe it properly doesn't exist in this universe.
If a degree of misunderstanding will be allowed,
there is a word that matches approximately 51%.
"Heart."
Heart?
There are multiple vectors inherent in psychological activity.
One of them is Unocle.
I lack a full understanding myself,
but perhaps its similar to the words "sympathy" and "sharing" in Japanese.
Bread.
Bread?
Um, I'll explain.
Let's say there's more bread here than we could possibly eat.
And that we'd eaten our fill.
Then, a starving person appears.
What would you do?
Give them the bread.
Yes.
That's what you would do.
To share that which you have extra of.
This psychological vector is called Unocle.
What do you mean?
All humans would do that,
but in reality, that isn't what happens,
because there's a finite amount of bread.
Many humans in this area are capable of sharing that bread.
That's why I judged it most efficient to negotiate
with the representatives of this area.
Let me ask another question, Yaha-kui zaShunina.
Why did you come to this universe?
To advance the world.
As I said, Kado is a form between the anisotropic and the universe.
It changes this world into the anisotropic,
and changes the anisotropic into this world.
This is called Wam.
You would feel like there are two of them here, right?
But these two are one.
I don't understand.
What's this?
Batteries?
Wam are a device for drawing electrical power from the anisotropic.
Isn't that really dangerous?
How much power can be drawn from them?
If I follow Shindo's suggestion
and prioritize speed and your acceptance in choosing my words,
"infinite."
What did he just say?
Infinite energy?
If you believe what he says,
this single device is enough to power all of human society.
No, that's impossible...
I want you to see this so that you can understand more precisely.
Hey, zaShunina, what are you—
Kado.
What's going on?
Haneda's got an uninterruptable power supply!
It's no good! It's not turning on!"
I just used Kado to turn off all the power to this facility.
Hey, don't do that without asking first!
Presently, the Wam is supplying all energy to this facility.
The Wam is more bread than you could ever eat.
I want to offer this Wam to you.
Mankind,
I want you to choose the right answer.
I know something that suits humans.
Advancement.
The latest thing we have to deal with is this Wam.
The UN Security Council has issues with Japan holding a monopoly over the Wam.
The resolve to drop a bomb.
Resolve?
