Hey, I'm going now.
Alright.
Phew.
You start early tomorrow?
Yes, I have work.
Work, huh.
We're working together again.
What does that mean?
It's routine we work like that.
Right...
It's routine.
Hey. Don't take so much time with this.
Yes sir.
Brats...
There's no way we'll be safe picking a fight with Gjallarhorn.
They've controlled this world for hundreds of years.
This is so stupid.
This is going to be the end.
Mr. Todo, what are you doing?
Weren't you going to the meeting too?
Well yes, I'll be right there.
Them fools.
We have to find a guide.
Will there be a company that would accept us?
There might be a way to use those fools.
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Dream on as we wander
Under pressure you are waiting for direction
Going on the road without your mind
All misleads they give ignoring our decisions
Killing yourself your soul we have inside
Continue to struggle and feel like you're discouraged
Rise up again to run to the end
In between the never-ending dream
We can struggle and muzzle the world before it fades away
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Believing that we will reach that goal
Come on and raise your flag So just raise your flag
No matter how many times we feel defeated or lost
As long as we breathe As long as we carry on
Dream on as we wander
First, we'll go to the low-orbit station,
and wait for the guide ship.
Then transfer to our ship in geosynchronous orbit and go to Earth.
What is this guide ship?
Usually, the path to Earth is under the control of Gjallarhorn.
But because our cargo is you, Miss Kudelia, and you're their target,
we need to take a back route which doesn't cross existing paths.
But it's a complex route, and we've never traveled to Earth.
And these back routes are divided into territories of civilian businesses.
The best guide will be the safe and sure Orcus Company.
I've known CEO Orcus for a long time.
I can contact him any time.
You really going to trust this guy?
How terrible. We're comrades. Comrades.
It's fine. He knows all too well what will happen if he screws up.
Right, Todo?
As you say, boss.
So you have a ship?
Yes. At Hakofune we have the CGS ship "Will-O'-the-Wisp."
Hakofune...
That's a shared civilian space port, right?
Yes. But in order to use this ship,
we have to officially make it Tekkadan's.
I've left that up to Akihiro and Dexter.
Mikazuki and Yukinojo are servicing the Mobile Workers and Mobile Suits.
The actual departure date depends on the negotiation with Orcus.
But we can't sit around for long.
This is where it gets real.
It's the first job for Tekkadan.
Your subordinates looked like they were about to die.
Is that so?
If they're made to work at your pace, their bodies can't keep up.
Having too excellent a senior officer means a lot of trouble.
I'll be careful.
He probably wanted to buy some time,
but it will no doubt surprise Coral.
Thank you for coming in the morning.
Specialist Major Fareed, Specialist Major Bauduin.
Speak of the devil.
Good morning, Major.
How is the work progressing?
I'm really sorry.
Due to our blunder, we couldn't sort the data in time for you.
It must be hard for you to even look through it.
No.
The examination of the data you gave us is almost finished.
We'll soon be able to report the inspection results too.
Oh I see, that's good to hear.
By the way, something in the data caught our attention.
Huh? What was it?
Looks like one company was sent out, but hasn't come back.
Oh, they're out subduing a riot.
A riot? The independence movement?
It's just the citizens venting their frustrations.
But there have been so many lately...
I heard rumors on Earth too.
But to need a force as big as a company to subdue them...
I feel your pain.
Well, I have some work. Please excuse me.
By the way, is anything inconveniencing you?
Inconveniencing us?
If you need anything while you are here...
It may not be much, but we could offer you something extra.
If you are offering a bribe, we will have to arrest you.
Please restrain yourself.
Major Coral Conrad.
You're so mean.
Young fools. How dare they underestimate me.
This is all Crank's fault.
It's because he acted on his own and failed.
That useless, good for nothing fool.
Mika, how's it all going?
Well, I think it's okay.
Probably.
Probably?
Can we take this up?
Who knows.
What?
I'm just a Mobile Worker specialist.
And this machine is hundreds of years old from the Calamity War.
That one is better since it's newer.
Come on. Please, old man.
Well, I'll do as much as I can.
I wonder if Akihiro is alright.
"CHRYSE * CENTRAL SPACEPORT LOBBY"
What do you want, Akihiro?
You found this?
Yeah, it's data regarding your contract, right?
Biscuit found it.
Do you know what it means to give this to me?
Human Debris.
Proof you all are properties of Maruba.
If that's gone, you all become free, right?
Do you know what that means?
It means you guys don't belong to anyone.
I'm not demanding gratitude, so go wherever.
But if you're staying, I'll protect you.
Protect?
Us, who are practically trash?
Together with us...
Let's set off a giant firework.
Fireworks, huh.
Hey, get pumped up.
Sure.
We're just going to do some paperwork.
I contacted Orcus.
He said he'll guide us to Earth.
How much do they want?
45% of what we're getting paid.
They're demanding quite a lot.
We don't really have a choice.
You have to be kidding.
45% for this job? That's unacceptable.
Todo, you better not be taking a kick-back.
If you don't like it, you negotiate.
What?
Calm down.
We have to choose who will go to Earth too.
What will those remaining do?
I talked with Orga. We can sell the spoils from the battle,
and we can do the usual farming...
How stingy.
This is so dumb.
A big job always comes with danger.
A legitimate job is supposed to be dull.
So escorting the Young Miss isn't dangerous?
For better or worse, Miss Kudelia is a celebrity.
If we can safely escort her to Earth, the Tekkadan name will spread.
Then we might have more jobs coming in,
and we might be able to lead a decent life.
There's risk, but it's worth it.
This job is not just about the money.
Our future depends on it.
Future, huh.
As if it's all going to go your way.
So delicious.
Mr. Shino, that's dirty.
Oh, sorry.
What are you drawing?
Just something.
What? I'm curious.
Wait, it's a secret.
Is something wrong?
I'm such a weak person.
The funds have been wired to the designated account.
Please confirm it.
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
But the decision you made this time...
You really are a brave and noble person.
That's not the case.
The war goddess going to the jaws of death with the young braves
will build an eternal paradise over their corpses.
It's a like a mythical tale of a hero.
No wonder I had placed high confidence in you.
I...
I might rob them of their smiles.
I know that, but...
You look troubled again.
Mikazuki.
- It's... - Hey.
I'm going out after lunch.
Do you want to come too?
It really is a barren land.
But why are we here?
Kudelia Aina Bernstein is hiding herself.
Kudelia? The one responsible for the Noachis July Assembly?
Actually, as we were leaving Earth,
I heard she was negotiating with the Arbrau government on her own.
What? No way. Someone from the Outer Sphere
can't directly negotiate with an economic bloc of Earth.
Here.
What is that?
There was a report that there was a battle here a few days ago.
And the day before that,
Kudelia's father, Norman Bernstein visited Coral.
That means...
That Coral targeted her?
I see. So the missing company came here.
If they could get a hold of her,
they'd be in good graces with the Regulatory Bureau.
Then they wouldn't have to worry about our inspection.
"THE PRICE OF LIFE"
Hey, be careful.
Got it.
What's that?
He was asked by Mr. Orga apparently.
Excuse me, where are we?
Miss Sakura's field.
Miss Sakura?
She's my grandmother.
And why did you bring me here?
Mikazuki.
Oh it's you, Miss Atra.
You were here too?
Yes. And you too, Miss Kudelia?
Bro.
- Mikazuki. - Bro.
Hey.
Kudelia is here too.
You're right.
Can you cut vegetables now?
Yes, well...
You're here.
Miss Sakura.
Is that all of you?
Yes.
Okay, then let's start.
Get ready.
Okay.
We have your clothes ready over here.
So you brought Miss Kudelia too.
Yeah.
I see.
Wait, that's...
Huh?
You made this for me, right, Atra?
Yes.
That's a good luck charm.
It matches mine.
Yes, thank you Atra.
We should just interrogate Coral rather than investigating.
He'll just act dumb.
We need concrete evidence.
You're as fastidious as usual.
That's my duty.
It's hard to be an inspector.
By the way, I'm calling my sister tonight.
How about you join me?
Almiria?
She won't shut up about not getting to see you.
Our parents decided this, but your fiancee is merely 9 years old.
You certainly have it hard.
It's fine. She's my friend's sister.
Don't force it.
I'm not forcing it, my "big brother."
- This giant corn's mine. - Hey.
Watch your step.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
Well...
Thank...
It's a lovely place.
When I'm sweating and touching the land, it clears my mind.
It's very refreshing.
I'm glad to hear.
Um, is that why you brought me here?
How much do you think that corn sells for?
For one corn?
About 200 galars?
50 galars for 10 kilograms.
Around here, they get sold cheaply as raw material for biofuel.
It would be hard for Miss Sakura without Biscuit's salary.
It's the same for the others.
To feed their family...
To pay off a debt...
They put their bodies on the line to live.
Do you know about Human Debris?
Yes, roughly.
People traded for money, right?
At crummy prices.
Do you remember that brawny Akihiro?
Him and those around him are exactly that.
Even if they become free, they can't get proper jobs.
Well, we're similar as well, I guess.
Thanks to you, we were able to just hang on.
Thank you so much.
Aren't you worried, Atra?
You'll get Mikazuki taken away.
Hey!
Cookie, Cracker. Can you get a new basket for me?
Yes, we'll get it.
Get it and get it taken away.
Gosh.
What was that?
Hey, are you guys alright?
You...
What are you doing?
Mikazuki.
No, it's not what you think.
Mikazuki.
He... Help...
That's enough.
You hasty fool.
Miss Sakura.
We ran out in front.
That car avoided us.
We were careless too.
Let me apologize.
Hey.
Cookie. Cracker.
What happened?
Are you okay, Mikazuki?
Cookie? Cracker?
We're fine.
I'm sorry.
Miss. This way.
But...
Well then... I did...
Are you okay?
You're always like this when you get mad. Be careful.
I'm sorry, Miss Sakura.
You're apologizing to the wrong person.
Well... I'm sorry.
- You're sorry? - Gaelio.
You!
Hey, you.
What's that on your back?
Alaya-Vijnana System.
Alaya what?
An organic device system that is implanted into the human body.
I've heard that they still use it...
Implanting foreign objects into your body?
Excuse me...
I'm sorry to have frightened you.
This is all I have, but can you accept this as an apology?
- Thank you. - Very much.
Thank you.
See a doctor just in case.
If there's anything, call the Mars Branch of Gjallarhorn.
My name is McGillis Fareed.
Yes.
By the way, I want to ask something.
What is it?
It seems there was a battle around here recently.
Have you noticed anything?
Now that you say it, I think I heard some shooting 2 or 3 days ago.
But there's a paramilitary organization nearby,
so it might have been them training. Right?
Yeah.
I see. Thank you for your help.
- You. - What?
Your moves were amazing.
Did you do some training?
A few things.
I see.
You'd make a great soldier.
They finally left.
Miss?
They didn't seem to know about the battle the other day.
Yeah, I guess even Gjallarhorn doesn't work as one either.
Mikazuki?
"MARTIAN JOINT SPACEPORT HAKOFUNE"
Is this okay for the registration name?
Yes, the boss named it.
He doesn't want a name from the CGS days.
Will-O'-the-Wisp, changed to...
"ARMORED ASSAULT SHIP ISARIBI"
Isaribi. "ARMORED ASSAULT SHIP ISARIBI"
As that man at the farm said,
a paramilitary group called CGS existed around that area.
Existed?
The owner and the company name have changed.
The new name is Tekkadan.
What about that?
Was it just the name they wanted to erase?
Or...
Hey, Mr. Mikazuki.
Look at that.
That is...
The insignia of Tekkadan.
The boss asked me and I came up with it.
It's really good. Is it a fish?
It's a flower.
What? A flower?
Isn't it good?
Yes.
Mika.
We're going to protect this.
Right.
Yes, leave that up to me.
I'm counting on you then.
I'll remind you...
how terrifying adults can be.
Ah... In the blue light
glowing in the darkness,
hide your loneliness
What do the strong
see in pieces of dreams?
Orphans, to space
We will set sail on the ship called hope
You're on my mind
This fleeting moment The blues that space sings
I have a bad feeling about those Gjallarhorn people.
No, Cookie, Cracker.
If you eat chocolate now, you won't be able to eat dinner.
You'll get cavities, and most of all, you'll get fat.
But I've got no right, saying something like that.
