They're gone now.
Right.
What? Are you feeling lonely to be away from your friends?
Yes, I'm lonely.
Once Barbatos is overhauled, you can catch up.
I guess so.
Even if he's ridiculously strong, he's still a kid.
Hey, Mikazuki.
Let's begin the Alaya-Vijnana System check.
Okay.
Alright, alright.
Hey, Ride.
Don't treat it so roughly.
These goods are for the industrial colony.
It's just mineral resources, right? It's fine.
No. If anything happens to the cargo we got from Teiwaz,
they'll lose trust in Tekkadan.
Okay, I got it.
Geez.
Okay, let's finish up this work before lunch.
Yes sir.
Hey, you're too close to the crane.
What's he getting so worked up about?
Mikazuki and Miss Kudelia...
They seemed to make a good couple.
Atra.
What are you doing there?
It's nothing.
What are you doing yourself?
Actually, we got messages from Mars.
I see.
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 the 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
Everything is going pretty smooth here.
The support from Teiwaz arrived safely.
We have enough money to run for a while now.
Gjallarhorn haven't shown themselves around here as yet.
They haven't interfered with us so far.
The guys on Mars seem to be doing well.
Yeah, with Teiwaz behind us now, Gjallarhorn can't butt in so easily.
Yeah, it's all thanks to Teiwaz.
Right, Biscuit?
Yes, you're right.
Don't worry about this and go. It's fine.
Sorry. I'll go now then.
What's with him?
He has a message from his sisters.
What? He can watch it here.
He's being considerate to us.
Many in Tekkadan don't have relatives,
so he suggested for messages from family to be given separately.
That's so like Biscuit.
I'd rather receive a message from a woman than from my family.
Something like "I love you Eugene, I want to see you."
Instead of women far away I can't see, I prefer the breasts in front of me.
You're wrong. You need kindness and love from women.
Well, listen to you,
Eugene, who's just had his first experience.
You... You think so too, right Orga?
Well... I don't care much about women.
I see, you don't understand anything, Orga.
You need to know a woman or two to be a true man.
Yeah, Eugene, who's just had his first experience, is right.
What? I'll punch you.
- Don't do it. - Shut up, I don't mind.
For me, there's a family called Tekkadan.
What? Is this getting recorded now?
Yes, look Biscuit, it's me, Cookie.
It's me, Cracker. How are you?
Look, we finished harvesting everything.
There were a lot of sandstorms, so there was less crop this year.
But we helped out a lot. You can praise us.
Where are you now, Biscuit? Take care of yourself.
And buy us lots of souvenirs.
And what else can we say?
Hey, Takaki.
What's wrong?
Well, it's just that I also...
You got a message too?
Yes, from my little sister.
Takaki, how are you? I'm doing great.
When can I see you next?
She's very mature. How old is she?
She's 6 years younger, so 7.
She's close to my sisters.
Let's play.
Wait a minute.
See you again, Takaki.
She's in an orphanage?
Yes, Fuka is...
My sister's very smart.
A lot more than me.
Since I started getting paid by Tekkadan,
I could put her in an orphanage.
But I want to send her to school one day.
It's just a dream for now, though.
It's not a dream.
What?
Now that we're with Teiwaz, our pay should go up.
And if we succeed on this job, Tekkadan's name will get bigger.
Really?
In fact, I'm the same.
My current goal is to put my young twin sisters into school.
You too, Mr. Biscuit?
I see.
Then I have to keep working even harder than I am now.
Yes, that's right.
Okay, let's do this.
I've heard many bad rumors.
You are doing something very dangerous, right?
Your father is also very worried.
How about you come home for now?
For the Bernstein family...
My father seems to be so afraid of what I might do.
If he learns we've joined hands with Teiwaz, he'll be terrified.
It's a bit belated, but I'm sorry Fumitan.
To get you involved in a thing like this.
But that is my duty.
Thank you.
As long as we're using the Ahab Reactor for power,
we can't use any radio devices.
Our only beacons could be these Ariadne points.
But these are under the control of Gjallarhorn.
Using them as our guideposts,
avoiding surveillance, and securing a path is what requires skill.
Well, that happens to be our bread and butter.
All you have to do is steer the ship as I tell you.
We'll do that.
The problem is those in the same business.
I guess so.
Same business?
The path avoiding Ariadne is effective against Gjallarhorn,
but there are pirate-like gangs who prey on ships passing through there.
We Turbines are known to be militant,
so I doubt anyone would pick a fight with us.
Okay, it's done.
Where are you going?
I'm going to train on the simulator.
We might eventually be asked to work outside.
How enthusiastic...
Yeah, that's right.
The departure kept us busy so I forgot to tell,
but we'll have someone from Teiwaz aboard the Isaribi from now on.
Aboard the Isaribi?
Yes, as an overseer from the Old Man.
An overseer?
Does that mean we're still not trusted?
Hold your horses.
We need a liaison for both sides to work well together.
And she's a versatile woman to have around.
A woman?
Come in.
Nice to meet you.
I am Merribit Stapleton.
She used to work in the banking section of Teiwaz.
She knows business.
You're still amateurs when it comes to business, right?
She can teach you anything.
Anything?
We're all men, we'd like to think it over.
Hello again.
You know him?
Yes, I met him a few days ago on Saisei.
What? So you know each other.
No, I don't...
I don't remember it well.
Well, whatever.
In any case, this is an order from the Old Man.
You got that?
Well...
Look forward to working with you.
"A LETTER FROM TOMORROW"
Same here. "A LETTER FROM TOMORROW"
Look, it's Ms. Merribit.
She's a true adult lady.
Hey, kids shouldn't be leering.
Go and work.
Mr. Eugene, perfect timing.
What is it? Ask me anything if you're in trouble.
Have you seen your boss around?
Orga is probably at the bridge.
I see. Thank you.
Sure...
Get back to work.
Boss.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Can I see the list of food and supplies?
What?
I need it to prepare the balance sheet.
I understand. I'll have Biscuit get it for you.
Thank you.
This is a great ship.
Hard to believe it's run by children.
Can you please not treat us like children?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
And also the handkerchief I borrowed...
So you did remember.
I'm sorry, I lost it.
I was really drunk then.
It's alright. I meant to give it to you anyway.
Were you keeping an eye on us from that time?
No. It was a coincidence that I was there.
It's okay.
Watching Tekkadan is your job.
But I won't let you intrude into our house improperly.
Do you hate me?
Whether I like it or not, I will obey orders.
You know, Fumitan is good, but Ms. Merribit is sexier.
Adults are better.
Yes, I'm still a child.
Excuse me, Miss Atra.
Yes?
Can I help out with your work?
Well, okay.
It's nice to actually move your body.
Seems I can forget my worries.
Your worries?
It's not a big deal.
Where are your parents, Miss Atra?
I don't have any.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Mikazuki and everyone were there.
Have you known the people of Tekkadan for long?
Well, the first time I met them was when I was 10.
I first worked at a place that was all girls.
Compared to the older girls who made money,
I was small, so I had to do chores.
And I couldn't do them very well.
Every day I messed up, and I got scolded each time.
I got bullied and beat on...
If I made a mistake, they wouldn't feed me for days.
I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep.
So I ran away, but...
Is it your first time today?
Yes...
Then let's drink to celebrate later.
You can't have any.
I don't want any.
I worked to buy this.
I'll work too.
No one will hire a kid.
And women aren't allowed at CGS.
I can work. We're about the same age.
I only have this much.
I don't care what, just sell me food.
What's wrong?
Looks like she's too hungry to even stand up.
The manager heard my situation and decided to hire me.
Then I started to help make deliveries to CGS.
So it's all thanks to Mikazuki that I can be here like this.
I see, you went through some hard times.
Not at all.
Ever since I met Mikazuki and them, they've been kind.
I'm a bit jealous of you, Miss Atra.
What?
Even without parents or siblings,
you always have your comrades as trustworthy family members.
I have parents, but there's no trust...
My father considers me a nuisance and even tried to kill me.
I...
Excuse me.
What?
Isn't it a misunderstanding?
It must be. I mean, fathers, they...
They should adore their daughters.
Even Mr. Ivan who lived next to where I worked,
was all about his newborn daughter.
I'm sorry. I don't even understand anything...
It's fine.
It's okay.
But Miss Kudelia, you're our comrade...
You're part of our family.
I am...
Family?
Yes.
Thank you.
That makes me very happy.
Wait. If Miss Kudelia and I are part of the same family...
That means...
That's right, if it's like the Turbines...
Yes, then everyone can be happy.
Miss Atra?
Let's hang tough, Miss Kudelia.
Yes...
Huh? Done already, Akihiro?
Let's do another round.
It's almost time for my patrol duties.
That's a shame.
By the way, did something happen?
You were different from usual today.
You quit fighting in a reckless suicidal way.
But you were still persistent as usual.
Oh...
I changed?
Please come in from the cargo hatch.
Your patrol duties will start in 15 minutes.
Roger that.
Going on patrol now, Mr. Akihiro?
What?
Can I come along with you?
I've done plenty of simulations so I won't be any trouble.
Well, it's better to have more eyes on the lookout.
Sorry I insisted in coming along.
What is it all of a sudden?
I got a message from my sister.
I have this goal to send my sister to school.
So I want to learn other jobs.
I want to learn more, earn more, and work harder for my sister.
I'm sorry.
You can't talk about family to Human Debris?
No, but...
Don't worry. I could see you were trying hard for your sister.
And...
I've never told anyone about this, but I had a younger brother.
A younger brother?
His name was Masahiro.
We were with a family that owned a merchant ship fleet,
and we traveled around.
Here you are.
Okay.
- You too? - Yes.
Then you can maybe take this.
Masahiro?
- Don't push yourself, Masahiro. - Don't laugh, Bro.
I'm not going to fall behind!
But one time...
They were pirates.
All the adults were killed.
Our parents died then too.
From then we were treated as Human Debris,
and were sold separately to slave traders for dirt cheap.
Give back Masahiro.
- Give him back. - Bro!
I'll definitely come find you. Just wait, alright?
Shut up.
Bro!
I haven't seen Masahiro since then.
I've been so busy with myself until now,
that I'd forgotten all about him.
Now I've joined Tekkadan and have comrades like family...
It makes me think.
That I had a real family myself too.
If he's alive, he'd be about your age, Takaki.
As me?
But he's probably dead.
That's not true.
If you keep working like this, you'll see him one day.
I hope so...
We're too far from the ship. Let's go home.
Yes.
- Huh? - What is it?
That star is moving. At 2 o'clock.
What?
An Ahab Reactor reaction? Is it an enemy?
A Mobile Suit. We gotta go back!
Yes sir.
Takaki, hold on tight.
Yes.
Communications from Graze.
They're in combat with unknown machines. 3 of them.
Unknown machines? What's the distance?
About 1,600.
Darn it.
Takaki.
What?
Orphans, tears.
Because love carries sadness
and makes you stronger
You're on my mind.
Can you hear it?
The blues that space sings
Mikazuki...
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
You're right, the sleeve is frayed.
No, leave it like this.
I'd only been given torn used clothes before I came here.
It feels better when they're dirty.
What? Me?
I'm Chad.
I'm Chad Chadan.
I'm always on the bridge.
