XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X All Cutscenes (Game Movie) HD

[Music] [Music] so july 2054 a.d the earth was caught in a great battle between unknown alien forces [Music] their weapons were terrifying and powerful beyond human reckoning our planet was overrun its surface reduced to ash and rubble in the blink of an eye the coalition government knew the war was coming in response they prepared the earth life colonization project project exodus interstellar arcs were launched all across the planet from every major city on earth bravely we left from our cradle our home for the last four and a half billion years but most of the arks never even made it out of the atmosphere only a small handful managed to escape among them was our ship the white whale [Music] after leaving earth behind we spent two years wandering in space searching we thought of ourselves as the lucky ones the pioneers who would settle a new world but our past caught up with us literally the alien blitz was unrelenting if not for the efforts of a lone hero we would never have survived our ship took heavy damage we lost control with our flight systems down the white whale was pulled into the gravitational field of a nearby planet its hull shattering and breaking to pieces as we plummeted toward the surface since then two months have passed attention external access confirmed disengaging stasis in ten seconds seven six five four three two one [Music] [Music] releasing hatch please stand clear hey there looks like you're all in one piece careful just take it nice and slow okay your senses will need time to reactivate your pod is the only one around that landed intact good thing i found you my name's elma you want to tell me yours you don't even remember your own name it must be the stasis hangover that's not good just try and focus all right good there we go what else you remember it'll come in the meantime i'll get you up to speed here as best i can how are your limbs can you move we'll take it easy while you shake the stasis out of your system one step at a time all right first things first you'll be needing a weapon there you go all right let's get going [Music] most of the white whale's life pods didn't survive the crash like this one you're one of the lucky few right you don't even remember the white whale do you you know the l002 the ship we escaped earth on you remember earth right planet earth your homeworld or rather it used to be anyway unfortunately it was caught in a battle between two alien forces and destroyed ring any bells don't feel bad it's one memory i'd like to forget i know it's been following me for a while now i didn't want to alarm you but we're going to need to defend ourselves you up to the task move in and strike [Music] is hmm you're not half bad there's plenty of work back in the city for someone who knows how to handle a weapon you know then you're interested in that case i might have just the job for you but anyway we can talk more details later for now let's keep moving the rain's starting to let up just in time for sunrise follow me i promise you're gonna love this [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] pretty wild huh they're all indigenous as far as we can tell we need to learn to play nice with these guys if we're going to try and coexist together [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] we call this planet mira you won't find it on any star chat but it's our new home [Music] recognize the habitat unit that's where we're headed watch yourself that first step's a doozy we can jump if you like you could handle the fall but the endogens down there are another story some big some mean all nasty given our options the high road here would be the safer way to go relatively speaking that said whichever way you want to go i'll follow your lead you decide [Music] looks a lot bigger up close doesn't it and this was just the habitat unit the white whale was one hell of a ship until it all came crashing down at least that's the west gate it's closed off now for security reasons but we've repurposed a freight elevator that will get us inside [Music] you ready grenade lock this look at that it's a shame we had to settle near so much wildlife luckily some species aren't so hostile but they aren't necessarily friendly either i've come to learn that there's a fine line between self-defense and provoking a fight we need to walk that line all right let's head in who knows maybe seeing the inside will jog your memory [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] well here we are not too shabby huh for a giant beached spaceship anyway but like it or not this place is our home now we took the name from the city it was modeled after back on earth [Music] we call it new los angeles welcome to nla [Music] and so it was that another survivor came to join our band of refugees together we resolved to forge a new way of life here on meera come with me new la was our beautiful lie to ourselves truth is we were adrift heading into the unknown our native home was gone swallowed in a shroud of light and our future was uncertain we had no idea what fate lay in store for us [Music] only that we had to keep living in order to see it [Music] how about a quick tour of the facilities to refresh your memory let's start with your living quarters follow me brave citizens of new los angeles good day this is your director gentleman maurice chosson today i once again come to you with news i am truly delighted to share yesterday we repatriated 10 more white whale crew members these fellow pioneers will rejoin our ranks as citizens of nla bringing with them skills and know-how that will bolster our ability to survive and indeed flourish here in our new home this of course is only the latest success in our continuing efforts director general since when for the rescue and recovery two days ago ma'am from political aid to director general in just a few weeks at this rate he'll be emperor by next month nice work out there ma'am the three of us were in the coalition forces together specifically the special operations heavy armor training unit aka the skeleton crew i was a colonel and arena lieutenant gwynne was a more recent recruit of course i keep telling them we don't need those old ranks anymore now that we're here you're still colonel to me ma'am no reorg will ever change that and that's not about chain of command either it's about respect you've earned it and the award for best ass kiss goes to well i'd remind you both the mams aren't necessary if i thought you'd listen this one of the survivors ma'am the survivor i only found a single pod intact at starfall basin wait what what happened to 10 more crew members come on seriously shossan was never one to let the truth get in the way of a good speech still every last survivor counts you can call me arena i'm with the interceptors me too same division you can call me mr evans or just gwen all right ma'am we should be getting back to work until next time colonel right we should be going too the administrative district isn't far that's where you'll be calling home for now anyway [Music] wow hey [Applause] dammit hmm look i know what exhaust smells like and it was exhaust in the cockpit just check the ductwork would you oh i'm checking i just seriously doubt hey look at that the intake exhaust bypass is reversed oh man it's a good thing i caught that you caught that you're the one who cleared me to fly everything okay it's not like you to flub a flight check lynn good thing you had a rugged pilot like doug at the controls oh hey elma how'd it go out there and would this be one of the you-know-who's cool i'm lynn lee coop mechanic and top all-around fix-it gal for blade uh yeah well that uh doesn't usually happen we know it doesn't lin look i know what you're thinking but believe me young as she may look and yes she is young she's actually one of our top talents most of the time that is most of the time anyway you guys heading back to the barracks yeah why do you ask as long as you're here why don't i take you on the transport it's a great way to see the city i'll give you the grand tour that sounds like a great idea all right doug i think that'll be all for today you can clean up here and dock the scale what don't mind the exhaust i'll take care of it tomorrow don't mind it wait why am i cleaning up your mess in the first place lynn when [Music] [Applause] not bad huh you can see everything from up here it beats walking that's for sure the best way to see nla i never get tired of this view it's like a different city every time it's certainly come a long way in the last few weeks there's still so much to be done one day at a time speaking of which we don't really have time for a full pleasure cruise here why don't you give us the express tour just the highlights okay you got it new la is divided into four districts we departed from the industrial district where duck and i were conducting the flight test it has food production skill development you know industries and stuff it's also where the west gate is located remember expect to pass through there fairly often the only other gate out of the city is in the administrative district but i'm skipping ahead and next is the commercial district restaurants galleries cafes clothing groceries you name it it's a veritable shopping paradise the cd is the closest thing to a downtown we've got it can actually get pretty crowded sometimes well my nla standards anyway day or night the best and only bargains on the planet to your right the residential district housing housing and more housing plus a nice park and the cathedral if you're ever looking for quiet time alone or want to relax and unwind with a good book that's the spot right the park is my favorite place to just zone out and chill and last but not least our destination the administrative district the nerve center at the heart of nla note the distinct dual level structure here the upper level holds our administrative tower home to blade hq and the government not to mention armory alley as well as the barracks where we live the lower level there is a hangar complex for scale maintenance and repairs and this concludes our tour we will be landing shortly thanks save the rest of orientation for once we're back at the barracks enjoy your stay in the administrative district and thank you for flying lindley airlines right let's get you over to the barracks then i should file my report they'll be eager to hear the details on how i found you i'm sure well then we better not keep them waiting the barracks are pretty close actually they're set up just behind the giant blade tower here that road there wraps around the left side and leads right to it we'll pass through armory alley but let's not get sidetracked okay we can check it out later and here we are the blade barracks consider yourself our guest until we finish getting you registered feel free to come and go as you please i think i can answer that one so you must be the latest rescue secretary nagi miss coo chipper as always i see what can i say pep is my middle name i ran into doug barrett on the way here and he didn't seem quite so upbeat anything about today's flight i should know no nothing to worry about good be sure it stays that way more importantly elmer you found another one excellent work out there just doing my job mr secretary now as for officially registering our new citizen here why don't we talk inside there's a lot of ground to cover it could take some time ah yes of course forgive me you must be weary from the stasis and your journey back to us please after you i'll put on some tea allow me to formally introduce myself my name is kentaro nagi you may remember me as captain of the white whale but now i serve as secretary of defense here for new la the provisional government has charged me with keeping the peace so all military and police matters fall under my jurisdiction he's also my superior officer and he'd be an excellent person to talk to when you're ready to start looking for work what about a job right here with blade he seems capable let's give it a little more time at least until he knows enough to be able to make an informed decision he seems to be suffering from some form of memory loss memory loss from the stasis he could barely remember his name and nothing at all about what happened to earth or the white whale i see though come to think of it the entire lot of us have only been on this planet for what two months it shouldn't take very long to get caught up my thoughts exactly well then where should we begin blade is an acronym builders of a legacy after the destruction of earth quite fitting i think it's a relatively new organization up there in space we had plenty of provisions and a crew trained to handle the limited amount of situations we might encounter in our travels but of course all that changed after we lost most of our ship and came crashing down here on mira we needed food water search and rescue teams surveyors police the list goes on and on it was too much for the provisional government to manage on its own so blade was born the idea was to have one central organization with different disciplines to fill these various roles its core was pulled from the coalition military so it's mostly former soldiers but fighting isn't our most important duty right now we have a single top priority that supersedes all others the search for and recovery of the lifehold take a look at this the white whale was designed to carry an exceedingly large number of passengers all of them held in stasis all housed in a structure called the life hold this is a complete schematic of that facility only essential personnel were conscious and active for the journey from earth the flight crew maintenance engineers and of course some military so we could defend ourselves if necessary but the vast majority were in the life hold our in the life hold with any luck they're all still there in stasis waiting to be rescued but there's a problem we now know the life hold broke apart along with the rest of the ship when we came down on mira what we don't know is exactly where all the pieces landed not very comforting i know blade's top priority now is locating the missing units it started at the end two years ago the end of earth the casualty of a battle between two hyper-advanced alien civilizations their technology and weapons were beyond our comprehension we were like infants naked powerless the earth was reduced to ash and blown away i still wonder if i hadn't been there if maybe all of this could have somehow been avoided no one can know that elma what we do know is without you there have been no project exodus and no escape for any of us did it go perfectly no but we are here and we are alive we survived so yes project exodus once we learned the earth might be threatened we needed a plan to preserve all her various life forms that plan was the earth life colonization project otherwise known as project exodus those of us who escaped on the white whale spent over two years wandering in space two hard years but we clung to our mission find a habitable planet and settle there we had no idea how long it would take or that the decision would eventually be made for us the xenoforms found us again and well it wasn't a happy reunion earth wasn't enough they wanted humanity destroyed for better and for worse we were close to planet mira when we lost control of the white whale inertia and gravity took it from there the ship had taken way too much damage to survive entering the atmosphere intact we had no choice we channeled all the power we had left to soft land the habitat once the dust cleared we set to work transforming it into its current state searching for survivors establishing blade installing the provisional government basically making it a sustainable city uh yes all citizens of nla are required to register their name age and occupation we also ask you report any personal assets and take a short survey regarding your current state of health all purely as a precaution i'm sure you understand as the caretakers of humanity's survival we all have certain responsibilities and hey it's not all bad registering gets you access to all kinds of public services in any case i'm sure this is all a lot to digest you'll be wanting some time ms ku even i'm tired of hearing myself speak why don't you take our guest out for some air perhaps a tour of the administrative district yes sir come on we'll keep this briefing brief [Music] you know it's not every day we're authorized to let a civilian tour the administrative district yeah nagi must really really want him to join blade the ad is a bit different from the other districts it's got everything a blade would need all in one place without any extra fluff get a load of that skill even the way that they walk is so cool oh yeah work it baby what you don't remember what a scale is that gorgeous exoskeleton that just went by basically like the most incredible awesomest super weapons ever lasers force fields bipedal and vehicular transformations sorry just i get so excited whenever i think about it originally scales were developed as a defensive measure to counter potential alien threats it wasn't enough to save earth though we were outnumbered and outgunned still just look around you new la has gone from basically nothing to this in just two short months we could never have come so far so fast without scale technology i'd love to get you into one to see for yourself but it's not that simple well yeah duh for one thing only blades are allowed to pilot skells and even then you need a license these aren't toys we're talking about they're complex machines with powerful weapons and they're a precious resource we only have so many of them to go around so yes as you might imagine the certification process is a fairly rigorous one i'm sure you're thinking where do i sign up for the test but it's not that simple they choose you not the other way around you can't just walk in the front door and volunteer there is some criteria the details are largely hidden but basically hq only allows the cream of the crop to take the test blades who go above and beyond in their duties and for the people of new la in general so what do you say if you become a blade and work hard i'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before they tap you on the shoulder of work that reminds me why don't we check out the mission control board first that's where we take on our assignments good call let's head on over three [Music] two so this is mission control we don't have a dispatch system yet so blades usually choose their own assignments everyone comes here and selects from the missions available on the board and it's not just official blade tasks anyone with a request is free to post here businesses citizens whoever yeah it's basically how anything gets done in new la so the board is constantly updating just about every blade will stop by here at some point in their shift it's like our second home you'll always find a number of blades around here blowing off steam or browsing mission control for their next assignment whenever i get freed up i'll stop here first thing to check for any missions i might be suited for likewise and if the assignment seems too tough to handle solo that's what the scout console is for we should show you that next hey who's giving this tour anyway we also have the scout console if the assignment seems too tough to handle solo and elma just said that didn't she the blade scout console when the going gets tough the tough go to the scout console you know to get tougher if you do end up joining us you'll quickly realize just how important this little kiosk is a lot of the mission control assignments are too much for any one blade to handle they tend to call for multiple members with specialized knowledge or unique skills this console lets you search for and recruit other blades to fill those roles for just such an occasion you can't spell blade without team sort of anyway awesome right so you're ready to join up hang on lin take it easy would you what i'm just saying you'd have to be some kind of an idiot not to want to join blade or maybe a crazy person oh and here i thought you might be pressuring our guests apology accepted now how about a little shopping and i'm not talking about the stuff over in the commercial district i'm talking about armor reality so this street's what we call armory alley blades can requisition equipment from any of the vendors here i won't lie most blade members face danger on a daily basis having the latest gear isn't about impressing your friends it's a matter of survival true enough and that goes not only for your personal armor and weapons what we call ground gear but for skull equipment as well [Music] oh right the torque i think all that's left is the heart of blade itself blade tower so yeah blade tower when we come here it's usually to stop by blade hq the higher-ups like secretary nagy and commander vandam will spend most of their day here the government leaders too they're based in the tower guys like our new director general maurice chossan for example blades sometimes report to the leadership here after we finish key assignments you'll want to remember this place and that about does it for our tour so what do you think pretty amazing setup right you can't wait to join blade right okay lin seriously that's enough we're not here to make a sales pitch we just want you to have all the facts so you can make an informed decision to join us or not now that you've seen where and how we work hopefully it made a good impression but your decision will be just that your decision in any case let's head back to the barracks secretary nagy will be waiting [Music] honey we're home yes very amusing who wants a fresh cup of tea thank you miss gu but i can't stay long i just wanted to pass along a request from your commanding officer commander vandam does it have anything to do with our new arrival correct he stopped by while you were out on your tour he said he'll come back but that i shouldn't wait to ask you here we go i bet i can guess you probably can he wants to fast-track our new friend here for blade duty with a training assignment what in the hell are we waiting for as he put it the commander does have a way with words makes even my pitch sounds smooth i explained about the memory issues but he didn't see it as a problem and to be honest given our current need for blade recruits i can't say i entirely disagree hey it's not me you need to convince blade service is voluntary remember of course and i would never force or coerce anyone well friend what do you say can we count on you to do your part i knew you'd make the right choice welcome to the organization elmer he can start on your team you begin training immediately yes mr secretary with pleasure all right welcome to the cool kids club now then let's discuss that training assignment we've decided to start you out on a probe installation just to get your feet wet i guess we should back up a bit here in new la we're using a specialized computer system called frontier nav to help us deploy a sensor grid across mira a network of data probes that allows us to monitor conditions and collect all kinds of information about the planet expanding that grid and filling in the blind spots is one of blade's highest priorities here take a look at this what you're seeing on screen is a terrain map that includes new la and the surrounding landmass as you can see we've divided the area into a series of hexagonal blocks we call these blocks segments together they form our three we determined this was the most efficient pattern in the limited range of our probes based on it we know exactly where we need the probes to go now we just have to install them the sooner the better as far as i'm concerned the frontier nav probes can also detect the general locations of living things in the vicinity which comes in handy if we need to track down a blade or another citizen yes quite handy so for this first exercise you'll be heading here to that white segment go there install the data pro and then come back home [Music] east of the city in that case we can take the east gate out of the administrative district right we should be there in no time i'll leave the details on the data probe installation procedure to you of course mr secretary all right youtube shall we yeah training or not let's go install the hell out of that probe [Music] [Music] man am i glad we pulled an assignment to the east of the city this time it'd be a long walk all the way back over to the west gate hold on are we even sure the eastgate will be open last i heard it was still on lockdown from all the high level indigent activity it was but they just lowered the threat level earlier today the gates are officially open for business one of our teams must have gone out there and kicked some furry indigen butt huh seriously that was you cool i don't think so those grexes we took down were fairly routine definitely not something they'd lock both gates over at least then i take my cool back but wait a sec you guys fought grexes the two of you hey that's still pretty cool they've been hassling a lot of teams lately especially how they hunt in packs and all let's not get too excited confidence can be good overconfidence can be fatal especially when you're new yeah you're right but enough talk we've got our mission to deal with let's head out roger that probe isn't going to install itself let's get to the east gate shall we [Music] [Music] what the hell happened here you don't think that one senicula could have killed all these simias unless unless what this is bad what's bad i don't follow you that's sinicula it's a tyrant huh but it looks just like another scenic think about it your typical simius is way higher up on the food chain than your typical senicula right usually we'd find one similar standing over three or four siniculate corpses but here the tables have been turned and i don't see a single trace of any other indigens in the area there's only one explanation that senicula is a tyrant let me check the blade report database if there's a tyrant this close to the city someone must have run across it bingo there was a senicula tyrant sighted not too long ago but it was a couple of seconds further out it could have followed the blade that spotted it back towards new la or come here to feed who knows what that's crazy i can't believe there's a tyrant right on our doorstep and hq isn't doing a thing about it well don't forget why they sent us here in the first place frontier frontiernam's range is still limited oh great they couldn't track it if there's no local probe they must have lost it when it went off the grid the tyrant designation is given to creatures that pose a special threat that doesn't always mean raw strength some tyrants will actually register as low [Music] but don't let that fool you if a creature shows up as entitled you can be sure it's got at least one nasty traitor ability to speak of the system can't account for everything though so don't let your guard down no matter what rank it assigns [Music] even some of blade's very best teams have come back with serious injuries after running into a tyrant in the field if they come back at all as long as you understand the risks involved lynn count me in the same goes for everyone in ula but if we're gonna settle here on this planet we're gonna have to get used to dealing with tyrants now besides if i need to i can always run away while it's busy chewing on one of you guys fair enough but don't push it okay either of you if we can take it down great but if not even just luring it away would be a moral victory as long as we buy enough time to install the probe we can use frontier nav to track it or any other tyrant that comes this close to the city from now on just make sure you're ready before we attack this will be tougher than anything else we've faced [Music] it didn't have to be like this [Music] [Music] move in and strike we are awesome nice work lin you fought well you did too now let's get down to business and install that data probe if we stay here for long there's no telling what other playmates might show up this beam of light indicates a frontier nav site it marks the ideal spot to bury the probe okay the probe should be ready for insertion i'll just boot it up thanks lin the top half of the cylinder contains the probe itself the bottom half is a laser it dissolves the soil so the probe can burrow to the proper depth we tried just planting them on the surface at first but we kept running into problems with the local wildlife damaging the goods burying them is going to save us all a lot of time and headaches in the long run we all set yes ma'am whenever you're ready why don't you do the honors you can launch it right from your comm device give it a try [Music] good now we just need to give it a minute to reach the target depth and installation complete we are now online with a solid connection to frontier nav excellent see at the end of the day there's really not much to it the hardest part was calculating the ideal probe locations we need them spread out evenly to maximize data collection yep planting probes is easy and the more we plant the more likely we are to find missing crew so anytime you see a probe site there's no excuse not to plant that sucker that'll do it for your training let's head back to the barracks and report to secretary nogi [Music] commander vandam well now look what the cat dragged in sorry we missed you last time we could have come to meet you at hq you know indeed i suggested as much twice and we know how much i enjoy being told what to do anyway i hear you tangled with a tyrant way out of your league on a training mission no less that was reckless and goddamn magnificent so commander to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit here today well i can't just ask nagi to do everything for me i'd be out of a job hey i delivered you the new recruit didn't i yeah yeah you won the bet don't worry about it all right i'll settle up with you later you know i'm good for it the bet i'm sure i'm needed elsewhere if you'll all excuse me commander well that wasn't obvious at all huh look at you two i swear you're like two children excited about a new toy look who's talking i don't recall ever seeing you file a request to personally train a rescue before is that so odd it is before we'd even asked him to become a blade little miss stick in the rear usually i ask when i don't get your slang expressions but something tells me to just let that one go enough about that we're your manners anyway i still haven't been introduced to our new recruit here commander vandam is blade's top officer in a past life i was chief engineer on the white whale same idea basically someone has a problem i fix it you follow not much for conversation are you so you still haven't told us why you're here from the look of things i'm guessing this isn't a social call you don't think no so let's cut the crap and get down to business sounds like you're learning my expressions just fine elma anyway first we need chatty kathy here to choose a division and pull an assignment pretty much everyone in new la works for blade in one of several different fields helping to explore mira or to maintain order in the city or well you remember nagi's speech right there are eight different fields in all and each one has its own branch within blade officially they're called divisions naturally you'll want to choose one that best suits your personality and your talents let's start with the pathfinders pathfinder's number one responsibility is planting data probes like you did on your training mission it may not be the sexiest job but important you bet your ass it's important we've only been on mirror two months we don't know jack about this place the more probes we install the faster we can get our bearings here and give ourselves a fighting chance we've already detailed how important it is we expand the frontier nav network asap so for the time being i'll just remind you of the highlights it helps us keep blades safe it helps us keep the city safe and most important of all it's the key to locating the missing parts of the life hold and recovering the rest of the human race okay next up interceptors you met acolovin evans right arena and gwen this is their division interceptors have one main duty protect new la and everyone in it from the wildlife here on mira right now this is probably our busiest division interceptors write shotgun for the research egg heads they escort vips around and they help any other idiots who get caught out there with their pants down next are the harriers remember doug barrett the scale pilot conducting the test flight with lin he's part of the harriers if you think of the interceptors as defense harriers would be new la's offense they specialize in preemptive strikes on clear and obvious threats but only on clear and obvious threats they're not meant to go out and just blast any indigent moves and you got your reclaimers these guys are in charge of finding the other pieces of the white whale among other things that is including anything of ours left behind after a battle scale debris weapons personal effects it can get a bit morbid frankly but it's got to be done until we're up and running here on mira and have this place completely figured out everything we brought from earth needs to be treated like it's irreplaceable also the search for the life hold that's mostly on the reclaimers next curators curators are the first to scout ahead to unexplored territory bringing back whatever samples they can get their hands on fruits bugs sticks and stones you name it it's not all picking berries though being a curator also means being the first to encounter unknown indigenes next all right prospectors prospectors do well prospecting they poke around looking for minerals resources and whatnot things we need for everyday life here we packed all the essentials we could on the white whale but that won't last forever we need to be able to replenish our water and fuel if we want to survive and sooner or later we're gonna have to figure out how to replace things from scratch from the socket on a scale's knee joint right down to the frying pan in lynn's kitchen without these guys busting their butts we'd have no future to speak of next up outfitters all of our ground gear and scale weaponry is developed in conjunction with private arms manufacturers or ams outfitters are blade's way of supporting these ams they'll seek out anything that might inspire new weapon ideas and even assist with testing new prototypes finally the mediators these are the folks who keep everything hunky-dory with john and joan q public any problems a civvy has they come to mediators fight with your neighbor mediators lost cat mediators it's not a division for everyone you need to be a jack of all trades and a people person someone with my charming personality probably not the best mediator but if you got what it takes it's a clutch roll keeping things cool on the home front all right so i think that's all eight divisions any idea which one you'd like to join don't fret about it too much whichever you choose you still have a lot of freedom in how you operate mediators can still get out there and mix it up hunt indigenes whatever and if a harrier wants to take a break and settle an argument that's their prerogative too to be honest even though it's sort of frowned upon you can actually change your division whenever you like so there's really no reason to stress about this alright you ready to choose yeah and we're on pins and needles here three then it's settled all right thank god that's over by the power invested in me yada yada you're officially a blade congrats and welcome i know you're gonna do great now for the job let's get down to brass tacks nelson's team has gone missing last contact we had they were installing a data probe out in eastern primordia then nothing hmm nelson pathfinders right are we talking indigens here or what your guess is as good as mine but they did have a scale with them you'd think they could hold their own or at least run away all right we're on it we'll head to their last known location and go from there report whatever you find asap of course let's move out roger that [Music] damn i knew we would have heard from them by now it was definitely fighting something but this damage it's not the usual claw or bite marks no signs of a team if they were eaten we'd know it so did they walk away or were they taken right either way they couldn't have gotten very far let's keep looking hold up elma check this out i'm picking up an earth-based iff signal coming from that direction it's pathfinder that thing over there maybe it doesn't look natural does it no it doesn't it looks like trouble and look at this i'm picking up readings for other life forms too multiple signals moving around inside the structure you don't think i think you're right look at their movements they're controlled orderly they're definitely not wild animals [Music] now the question is are they native to mira or are they visitors like us and if so from where you think it's one of the forces that destroyed earth let's not jump to any conclusions it's a big universe out there of course we shouldn't rule it out either should we call this into hq yes but not from here if we're picking up their symbols they might be close enough to intercept ours stay calm we don't want to provoke them [Music] [Applause] they know about earth you may have been right after all then stand down did you already forget my first lesson fighting is a last resort our friends here appear to be able to speak our language which means we need to find out if diplomacy is a viable option you're right we come in peace and we're willing to negotiate if you have any earth alien prisoners we'd ask the conditions for their release if you don't we'll leave you in peace no negotiations no conditions we have our orders all earth aliens must die move in and do some damage so much for the diplomatic approach what's the deal with wanting us all dead anyway yeah i wonder they did mention they were following orders maybe someone higher up their chain of command would be willing to negotiate lynn can you give us an approximate location for that iff signal let's see seems to be originating from that building over there then we'd better get moving there's no time to lose they're all dead you killed them all in cold blood fortune [Music] you seem more fluent than the others are you in charge i am called glenna i command this squad alien now it is time for you to surrender hello glennar i am called elma and i command this squad if this planet is your home we apologize for intruding we crashed landed here after our ship was damaged in an attack by unknown adversaries we were hoping we could negotiate a peaceful settlement in exchange for our friends but [Music] is a swift death right we tried looks like survival of the fittest it is fine then seeing as you know we come from earth i'm guessing there's a good chance we might have a score to settle with you anyway [Music] lock this take the fight to them oh [Music] i don't get it why would they be so bent on killing all humans who can say whatever the reason this is dire news we should let the others know asap let's call it in and head back to hq for a full debrief roger that and here i just started to hope we'd finally escaped all this escape yes friends let's not leave more zenos what should we do stay back what do you think rook um finally dance of freedom tatsu thanks you interesting one of the vegetables is sentient talking potato i wonder if it tastes different too i know what we're having for dinner tonight you don't know it yet you guy but i'm a pretty mean cook you are mean mean and cruel tatsu definitely not potato time to explain this to dumb and smelly prone with a ting tatsu but bro not listen we'll never listen oh no day thrown first and stinky feet on mirror especially katsu tatsu witness prone abuse first hand at this rate entire no pun race in danger yes are endangered species so really friends have social responsibility to protect tatsu from danger what do you think elma baker fry wait a minute the beings who captured you big brutes and armor little pointy ears yes prone and they're a more recent arrival here is that right they're not native to this planet not native recent if friends want more details friends must promise to protect tatsu only then will tattoo talk right elma you hold him [Music] will talk french so if i understand correctly this is your homework the no pawn people are native to and then just recently the prone show up and quickly hunt you to the edge of extinction is that right not just prone grown in their nasty evil buddies lots and lots of them they're buddies you mean other alien races other hungry alien races they all gang up on no pun they do horrible terrible things to nope someday tatsu will turn tables and eat them for a then change help tatsu protect tatsu oh happy day it's settled then in return tatsu will accompany friends back to their village what do you think take him with us he seems harmless enough and he'd be a good source of information on mira and a pro all right we can debrief him when we report to commander vandal as long as he passes the quarantine scam we can bring him back to new la right let's get that out of the way [Music] then tatsu can join friends dance of joy new friends or friendliest friends ever i know tatsu has special thank you gifts for friends for saving tatsu's life tatsu will lend it to friends for free blend it's not a gift if you don't give it give it away always for free this would be insulting to friends and to tatsu no nopod merchant worth his salt and pepper could do such a thing tattoo is grateful but tatsu not insane what it's insane to think if someone saves your life you might actually show them some real friend do you ever get lost tired of bulky maps and flawed memory there is a better way friends this is your lucky day [Music] presenting follow ball is number one ultimate best super secret must have no pod item if friends get lost out in wild friends just follow ball of light to safety and now it's yours for free tomorrow for now really follow ball that's the best name you could come up with for your super special thing what would friend prefer fancy name no one understands your friend can feel smart now time for no pun dance of generosity [Music] i don't know is that thing really gonna be all that useful what if it's a trap or boom it just blows up in our faces oh yes that reminds tatsu if follow ball get damaged tatsu need to charge friends full price plus restock fee so much for dance of generosity up [Music] [Music] damn losing nelson's team is a real blow but the fact we're not the only visitors on this rock is even worse they made it clear they want all humans dead for all we know they may be related to the forces that destroyed earth and followed us here wonderful i'll report this to secretary nogi see if we can't bolster our defenses just one last thing what the bloody hell is this dancing turnip to in here he's actually a potato not turnip or potato for last time tatsu is not food now on behalf of planet mira had to welcome all earth people and offer a friendly treaty of friendship um yeah right anyway we were thinking he could be a good source of general intel about the planet exactly how useful that'll be remains to be seen oh don't you worry about a thing friend's totally safe now that tatsu is in town tatsu watch over and protect friends especially weak pathetic lindley with her thin bony wings you mean my arms look who's talking and who said anything about you coming with us you can stay here you greedy annoying little cabbage i'm sure there's a salad here that could use behind it's for the best you said yourself your people are endangered and the zenos that captured you might [Music] what well that of course this planet have many helpful notepad that tatsu can talk to other nilpon can share information for friends hmm that might be useful is that right that right most no pun not like tatsu no punch would be shy nu pun can be difficult most nopa never trust friends or even talk to friends but tatsu no pun love tatsu tatsu used smooth talk and winning personality to get friends good info hmm the tater tot has a point more like an ulterior motive if you ask me chatsu perished the thought tatsu intentions are pure linley purist snow lindly intimidated by tatsu's strength and smarts but do not worry katsu is true friend strength and smarts huh that's really not what i'm worried about here all right then it's settled small fry here will accompany you three out in the field after all we can use all the info we can get seriously we have to babysit this thing you're the ones who picked him up besides would you really want to leave him with another team [Music] maybe not unless we were invited to the meal i mean [Music] see already getting along like peas and carrots he can be your charge liam oh come on commander that's not funny i've got my hands full out there this is so unfair back me up here would you elma i'm sure elma has no objections right as you say commander done and done welcome to blade tater we'll be counting on you yes sir and it's a tatsu oh one thing tatsu forgot to mention no pun are pacifists so friends need to defend tatsu keep extra super safe in any battle tatsu vip diplomat after all am i not surprised so much for him watching over and protecting us [Music] [Music] [Music] so rook feel like you're starting to get the hang of things [Music] course you are you've taken to it like a fish to water just like elma and the commander said you would just the same let's review the key points and i can fill in some extra details blade's top priority right now is to secure missing pieces of the life hold remember that much countless people are frozen in the life hold it's the key to restoring humanity up until we ran into the prone our biggest concern was that wild indigents would stumble on the life hold and damage it somehow but now there's a more pressing threat intelligent alien races who are intentionally trying to destroy us so our search has new urgency we need to find and retrieve all of the life hold asap and the best way to do that is by expanding the reach of frontier nav the more probes we can install the wider we can scan and the faster we can find bits of the life hold so our primary focus going forward should be to travel around mira installing data probes as many as we can as fast as we can i can't stress enough how important this is you still with me good then let's move on to the other pressing threat that blade has to deal with hostile indigenes there's no real delicate way to put this any wildlife that poses a clear threat must be eliminated [Music] the life hold is our future but we can't ignore the present we still have our duty to keep new la safe and sometimes that duty requires enacting coordinated strikes to solve problems before they can do real harm we're the newcomers here it's true and they're usually just out to defend their territory but sometimes it really is them or us and we have to make sure it's us don't get me wrong it's not like we run out there and light up anything that moves only blade hq can choose targets and they tend to keep them strictly to creatures that pose a significant threat to our survival [Music] in order to contribute to this cause operatives are asked to form into squads to take on special missions these squad missions as we call them don't get posted to mission control like your other more typical assignments rather hq transmits the details directly to all of us at the same time basically they want as many people to know about them asap so they can be taken care of asap i'm sure you can imagine but these missions aren't your run-of-the-mill little fetch quests it's not the kind of stuff just one or two blades could handle on their own that's why squads can have as many as 32 members [Music] and it's why we ask members to sign up to a squad beforehand we can't have blades playing musical chairs whenever this kind of emergency hits us [Music] but just remember [Music] squad missions are not mandatory you don't have to drop everything you're doing just to take one off hq has no way of knowing what every blade is up to when these missions arise if you're busy with something else they'll understand they need to trust our collective judgment with these things so far so good [Music] and i think that about covers the basics right [Music] search for the missing pieces install data probes to expand frontier nav and take on squad missions when you can to keep us safe got all that [Music] good we're counting on you and briefing adjourned thank god all right well it's getting pretty late isn't it yeah let's call it a night oh tatsu's so excited to sleep in real bed lily can show tatsu to his room now oh your room is right over there [Music] the perfect size for tatsu wait what [Music] don't you know what that is then [Music] did there [Music] hey wanna team up [Music] hmm what should i whip up today [Music] that is a great idea delicious thank you is lindley cooking something else now tatsu can't possibly eat any more corn don't worry this is something new you've earned great delicacies foie gras [Music] rub while grub sounds delicious maybe tatsu try some when then they finished cooking can tatsu help actually you can in fact i can't make it without you oh really i just need one little favor of course tattoo is at your disposal what can tatsu provide for chef lindley your liver oh just remembered i have goose liver did that on purpose lily is vicious and nasty all right everyone dig it [Music] man oh man delicious lucky thing i happen to be in the neighborhood you say that every time commander but you always arrive as we're setting the table oh you don't say hmm all right listen up we found something in noctulum thanks to frontier nav that's northwest of here rook looks like a piece of the life hold that's great news damn right look at this oh friends mean nightclub woods is that what the no pawn call it we didn't have names for anything here so we've been using noctulum for that whole region well that a silly name and nightglow woods isn't moving on right sorry according to the pathfinder's report there's a large number of indigens in the area but thankfully no sign of any intelligent life forms no no that's [Music] visit wrong woods all the time yeah well like i said no intelligent life forms have been reported but it never hurts to be cautious [Music] friends patronize tatsu no brave people with rich history you know i down small fry or i'll make that nickname come true we'll have you check in with lou's team first they're already on assignment installing probes in the area we don't have a fix of a lifehold signal just a general direction see if they've got more info got it [Music] hey hey look who it is wow it's been a while it has are you going to introduce me to your friends where's daniel boris these are my new team members as for danny and boris we had a bad run-in with a powerful indigent they didn't make it i see hey look i'm sorry i hadn't heard it's okay and what's up with this onion thing you using it for rations or something tatsu not onion or ration tatsu is no pun brave and distinguished people with long history on mira it talks where'd you find this thing rescued him he was about to become lunch for some prone these hostile xenos we ran into he's agreed to serve as our guide here wow okay and you what's your story are you really as young as you look sure am 13 years old inside and out well hello lindley coo you must be something to be able to make elmo's team at 13. all right what about you [Music] i'm lao hwang i head up pathfinder team velasarta good to meet you we've got an interesting crew here but they seem capable enough i chose them personally i figured so i heard nelson's whole team got wiped out by some nasty new xenos is that true yeah those prone i mentioned we're not sure if they're the ones that destroyed earth but their tech certainly seemed advanced enough really we better watch our backs by the way we picked up a life hold signal in the direction of noctulum have you or your crew come across anything where around here i take it the answer is no yeah this is the first i've heard of it we bumped into another team and they didn't mention it either i see all right we were hoping your team might have a lead or some more info but no such luck huh [Music] well thanks anyway we should go hey hold up hold up mind if i tag along but your assignment we're more or less done here we just need to report back well until you do you're not done here oh give me a break elma the rest of my crew can handle the paperwork we're talking about a piece of the life hold here i've never even seen one that's way more important besides you might need the help finding it or handling the indigenes that get in your way now come on [Music] [Music] [Music] the life hold piece should be further ahead friends will climb big rocky mountain but how tatsu has tiny feet stubby flimsy limbs no spine either but the turnip does have a point i don't think there's any way we could scale those clips agreed we'll need to take a detour let's try going around that way [Music] friends hold up something coming ahead [Music] hey down in [Music] perish and kill the thought we would never associate with those sanities who are you ah yes a thousand pilots we are called gorgeous like the proud no pawn among you we have inhabited this planet since times of antiquity [Music] a friend knows about people yes yes of course nope on purchase my wares quite often you know they're excellent how should i say suckers uh i think you mean customers so mr l you've lived here a long time just l and yes such a nice quiet world the wildlife and insects are also docile such gentle dispositions [Music] indeed yes friends lucky top two here to protect them from becoming main course yeah because we can toss you out as an appetizer and run away [Music] well the creatures here are hungry yes granted gentle disposition my butt it's just [Music] what well who can blame them with all the commotion here as of late not that we're pointing our fingers at you mind no it's those prone bastards yeah we're not their biggest fans either we loathe them they have ruined our once peaceful life here ruined they are all thou shall be saved us caves close enough by the way elle you seem to speak our language quite fluently well yeah most of the time we owe it all to that wreckage back there what a treasure trove especially the data terminal we found inside it is the ultimate portable snack for satisfying our insatiable curiosity [Music] you think that's our piece of the life hold certainly sounds like it elle can we take a look at this terminal you found of course of course thanks lynn see what you can make of it on it okay yep this is library data let me see huh so it is the unit l stumbled upon must be part of the life holds archives so not the portland the entire ship was torn to bits when we came down the odds of any single piece of life hold being the core aren't very high yeah i guess not now now don't be glum the life hold archives are the sum total of all human knowledge this is still a really big find we should try and secure it asap yeah you're right now might not be a good time why not why else the ass caves we just came from there and prone are all over the wreckage what uh oh this is bad very bad let's go apologies we didn't mention it before we assumed you'd abandoned it allow us to show you the way after all as you say too many heads are better than none right uh close enough [Music] oh no why these monsters just destroy everything they see no this is organized calcium we aren't the only ones hunting down the life [Music] all earth aliens must die we have to try and salvage what we can let's go [Music] keep shooting leave it to me right uh who would have thought she's not a pro we're working together why would you do this why do you hate us kate human extinction is so that's what you call yourselves indeed humanity is a blight a great cancer festering on the cosmos our job is to eradicate it humanity is here in peace what gives you the right to destroy the life and yet so dangerous you must be purged this is our calling the cause of the righteous then you'll forgive us for defending ourselves against your righteous cause well this should at least be more entertaining than stamping out the lives of your sleeping friends it didn't have to be like this let's see you wobbly balance breakers lock this is hot [Music] wretched little primates you don't know when to quit do you this isn't over you cannot escape us on this planet or any other sooner or later your kind will be cleansed [Music] quickly [Music] a well-fought victory indeed such a shame it cannot bring back that which was lost to you but this is spilled milk over the damn i just don't get it what do they have against humans i'm not sure how they wound up on mira but [Music] the aliens that destroyed earth the ganglion were among them what it wasn't just them of course they were definitely one of the forces involved in that battle i'm absolutely positive now that scale-like mech we just saw check it against the nla records and i'm pretty sure it'll come back with a perfect match anyway we really appreciate all your help here elle but we need to be heading back now not at all we only wish we could have done more i wish we could compensate you somehow but honestly there's nothing left for us to give compensate you say hmm how about allowing us to accompany you back to your city you want to come back to new la why exactly without the archives we're afraid arthurs for knowledge cannot be quenched but an entire earth city to explore such an experience would provide compensation beyond compare the thought makes us tingle okay hmm what do you think rook you think so this guy i don't know i'm just not seeing it i mean he talks funny and he's got one of those faces but he doesn't seem like a bad guy literally right all mirror natives are good honest folk looks like you're outvoted besides we can't be like the gang land we want to live in harmony with all the other species here then it's settled excellent let's be off the early worm is for the birds right let's start heading back we should report to the commander at once [Music] hmm either you picked up another xeno or someone's been holding their breath too long this is l we met in octolin we are elsiroff if it please you this planet has been our home since days of yore oh a longtime resident that's why we brought him back his knowledge could prove invaluable i'd like to request permission for him to stay in new la we can't allow just anyone to waltz into our city on a wig how much do we know about it i know enough enough to say that we can trust him all mirror natives are good honest folk yes tatsu yes anyway elmer you do seem quite sure of yourself all right i'll share the responsibility he can stay if that's acceptable mr director general [Music] if you're both certain so be it many thanks good sirs truly we are walking on the ninth cloud of seventh heaven please call us l the rest is far too formal and honestly we prefer l anyway more importantly colonel what happened with the lifehold unit i see so it wasn't the core after all no we confirmed it was one of the archive units unit number 07 07 that would be the lc repository wouldn't it one of three but yes the entirety of the library of congress archives as i recall the data was stored on units 07 through 09. well thank god it wasn't the core this situation could have been a lot worse i wonder the lc archives contained nearly every published work in mankind's history it's not like it's just a bunch of random books and manuscripts you know it's a history of human thought a record of opinions and emotions i mean yeah sure but so if you stop and consider what it means to lose even a third of that data it's a cultural and historical loss of catastrophic proportions we do have parity data for the archives here we know which unit was lost so hopefully we can find some way to restore it let's hope so moving on these ganglion you're certain they were involved in the destruction of earth here see for yourself the left shot is from a battle over beijing the right from our encounter is it possible this is their native planet tatsu told us they aren't from here and l confirmed it their recent arrivals very recent so either it's one hell of a coincidence or they followed us considering they appear to be systematically targeting the life hold i'd say that leaves no [Music] maybe the whole reason we haven't found the core yet is because those scumbags already trashed and so none of us would be here talking in the first place uh you got a point there this information doesn't leave this room but we've had several recent pathfinder reports of xeno sightings and contact they may or may not be ganglia but regardless i propose we double down on our defenses going forward that'll be all elma please continue hunting for any signs of the life yes sir [Music] remember the clock is always ticking we have to find that before it's too late [Music] hmm what should i whip up today that is a great idea lindley sometimes tatsu wonder if tatsu is too cute too adorable [Music] yeah that happens sometimes [Music] is literally even listening to tatsu what sure i am hey what if you got a tan a little color could do wonders for your image in fact i've got the perfect lotion for you i'll even help you apply it well okay if literally insist wow thank you thank you lindley tanning oil smells so sweet and it's a bit sticky tanning oil that's just plain old honey it's the crucial step for a perfect chicken saute honey marinade [Music] okay folks hope you're hungry i can't get over your cooking lin that was delicious thanks gwen glad you liked it i hope it was enough if i'd known we were expecting company i definitely would have made more yes yes then maybe tatsu could eat full portion sorry pint-size what gwyn lacks in stature he more than makes up for with his monstrous appetite he's kind of a pig okay first of all i'm taller than you and second you just ate almost double what i did who's the pig here i'm assuming you didn't just come here to argue what's going on so we had this extermination order up around the northern coast some violent indigens that got a little too touchy feely apparently banged up a few outfitters pretty standard stuff we're all prepped and about to head out and then bam another job comes in from commander tank top i mean i know we're the best at all but seriously sounds rough all right you take the indigens and we'll take fandom's job thank you colonel let me walk you through the intel these images i'm about to show you are from a probe in oblivion is that a ship of some sort can't really tell from that distance yeah it's hard to grasp the scale with such long-range images whatever it is it's getting hammered friends must do something to help poor [ __ ] will not stand for this injustice says the one guy who never actually fights anything it's difficult to say for sure from this but that craft on the right i bet it's ganglion it shares aspects of their mech design [Music] our thoughts exactly the assignment is to get there and confirm one way or another we don't know who built the ship that's under attack but as the commander so elegantly put it our enemies enemies might be our pals i'm inclined to agree if we're gonna settle here we'll need all the questions that's for sure all right thanks for the info we'll take it from here thank you [Music] welcome to sandy bum canyon aka oblivia huh olivia friends really name it that you know i said oblivia at lindley listen to tatsu this place always have sandstorms sands get everywhere therefore sandy bum canyon no pun ancestors name it just fine ages ago or does lindley think she better name her than native myrin peoples what i no good tatsu accept lilly apology and forgive this time strange there's nothing here it was hard to tell the scale of it from the grainy images but that ship should have at least been big enough to spot from here hmm yeah huh elma look another new zeno species hang on maybe i can pick up what they're saying [Music] impossible i'm telling you just us is impossible okay stop talking like that would you we have to do this right for everyone back on the ship but how are we supposed to destroy the turrets this place is likely crawling with gangrene now so they're not ganglion at least yeah it sounded like they're fighting against them to me friends friends tatsu knows those are man on man on appeared on meera maybe year before friends i know that sound what is it alma just tatsu the ganglion and now these man on don't you find it a little odd that we can understand these alien languages hmm good point right must be something like that but we haven't been using our calm devices when we've been talking with tatsu well tatsu is fluent more or less tatsu did you study our language friends language what language are we speaking right now what language no pawn of course friends no pun very good by the way see casino forms have different anatomy physiology different vocal setups in general it seems likely they would struggle with our pronunciations and yet here we are conversing but if they can't even produce the sounds this shouldn't be possible no it shouldn't be unless our words aren't being perceived as sounds at all maybe our intent is getting across some other way but how could it be something about this planet someone sounds pretty intrigued huh well what if it is some kind of new phenomenon aren't you curious to learn more all right now you're starting to sound just like elle okay already friends talk less help man on more after all tatsu have reputation as hero pond to uphold here sure right after a quick snack i'm not sure how much we can help but we should at least make contact agreed um hey is everything all right relax tatsu's here to help [Music] personnel favorites [Music] humans are not working with the gang sorry for the scare we are from a planet called earth [Music] you can tell right i hope so why don't you tell us what happened [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so in other words if we can destroy their weapons your ship can escape exactly they have three turrets set up around the area you see them now we need you to destroy them all okay please got it we don't want the ganglion controlling the airspace here any more than you do we'd be happy to help out you mean it you'll help us oh thank you thank you thank you get a load of this stagger them with a melee attack our skills were indisputably superior here they come look at that [Music] two to go let's move here they come [Music] on [Music] and do some damage [Music] [Music] lock this leave it to me all right that's the third one that should be all of them the man on will be thrilled let's head back and meet up with them huh no sign of the man on anywhere where would they go maybe back to their ship friends look over there let's check it out for the last time we will break your legs [Music] like it or not you will help us you have some strange methods of persuasion this is [Music] yes what just in time now go quickly oh hunting them down oh leave it to me i'm doing good dance of victory damn it [Music] are you all right [Music] the what a friend is a robot i'm gonna block all feedback to the nervous circuit [Music] still hurt [Music] wait a second [Music] you don't remember anything about your body being a mimeosome do you [Music] he's losing his biocirculatory plasma i can't fix this here elma i need you to contact the mimeoso maintenance center for me ask them to have a type 085 left arm and transfusion ready asap you got it i'm going to have to take you offline forever here okay we'll resuscitate you back in new la don't worry you're gonna be fine i promise okay so welcome back so how's that new left arm feeling man what a relief your lucky lin was with us if she hadn't acted as fast as she did you might have bled out entirely we could have lost your whole unit oh it was nothing before we go any further i wanted to apologize i should have realized you might have forgotten about this but as you probably noticed the body you're inhabiting is artificial we call them mimeosomes for short mimeosomes are designed to mimic human physiology as much as possible the whole point is for us to forget about them that way we can still enjoy the things we love like cooking we're all like this every single crew member that escaped on the white whale all of us are mems but why would friends all become robots well just think about it it could have taken decades to find a new planet to call home or even centuries we had no idea who would want to cruise the ship if they knew they were going to grow old or die along the way our actual bodies are waiting in the life hold in stasis with all the human passengers we control our mimeosomes remotely from there so you see that's why it's so important for us to find and protect the life hold our lives are on the line here too if the life hold were to stop functioning for any reason while we're still there in stasis everyone including every mim in new la would drop dead on the spot that reminds me something else you should know it's possible for us to switch to another minion if these bodies fail or become too badly damaged but the process requires equipment from the life hold core the central unit of the whole operation so what if gangly and her big beasties smash friends robot mims we wouldn't be able to come back yet for now you need to consider these mims as precious as we would our real actual bodies don't get reckless out there just because you're in a menu so that's an order here one last thing and i need to trust you all to keep this quiet it's sensitive info so hq has only been telling team leaders about it the readout on blade tower you've seen it it's not some kind of special clock or anything like that it's a countdown [Music] big number counts down to what the life holds shutting down what the life hold lost its power source when we lost the white whale it's been running on backup ever since we need to locate the life hold and get a power source in place by the time that percentage reaches zero and if we don't these bodies will no longer sustain us we'll die not just die lin die out it would mean the end of the human race as we know it the end of everything well on that cheerful note okay rook you good to go then let's report back to hq i'm sure the commander will want to hear about this himself right [Music] welcome back your floppy friends here filled me in on everything you did good just watch yourself out there big shot you're still new at this and we can't afford to lose you we only got so many spare parts to go around now he'll be fine i patched him up myself [Music] the nla government has reached in accord with the man on people a friendship treaty it guarantees their safety and provides them a place to settle here in the city that's great to hear i wasn't sure how you'd react we don't need to be from the same species to be able to recognize our common ground someone told me that once that was a lifetime ago that's quite a memory you have a blessing and a curse believed so you're not stuck here too right we were just cruising along out in space you know and suddenly our nav system goes all screwy and we find ourselves which is pretty weird considering our [Music] [Music] [Music] we'd appreciate any intelligence you'd be willing to share of course of course we'll tell you all right now okay after all we are friends now right we are right friends very superheroes will protect us right because we live here now oh look look here comes our little ship now [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] don't just stand there push back we can't let them get close aah [Music] hmm even our skills are powerless before them continuing to persist here is meaningless it will only serve to thin our ranks after all this time we've finally found a clue that may lead us to the great one with respect the phenomenon space surrounding this planet is only 800 exodus in diameter three days at light speed is more than enough to scour it thoroughly if the great one or the samar federation homeland were here don't you think we would have found something by now it's one thing to engage the enemy all the way out near that forsaken chuck of rock they call earth but then to be swallowed up by that strange light and dumped off here in this primordial hell hole are we and cursed with humans of all things it's like some sick joke if someone told me this was death i'd believe them all the more reason to persist we must retrieve it if we ever hope to escape the confines of this phenomenon grand master luxor speak i bring news really and he can be trusted most interesting yes the most interesting proposal indeed [Music] hmm what should i whip up today [Music] why [Music] just like [Music] i suppose i'm just gonna have to use regular old beef instead lily is not funny billy is not funny [Music] okay everyone let's see now that was a meal i'm impressed lin my team could learn a thing or two i'm glad you liked it but you didn't stop by just for a meal did you no you know me elma it's about a job it would seem to us the good sir we'd like to pick our brain of course we will gladly let him in one ear and out the other almost l almost that time an alien mech what type no idea it doesn't match anything on record as far as i can tell no one's seen anything like it it looks abandoned too totally right for the picky oh man you're giving me goosebumps right it's located here that's pretty deep and noctylum no wonder you wanted to talk to elle exactly but here's the rub the ganglion are after it too from what we can tell over frontier now they've gone after it several times already and failed well yes that doesn't surprise us tainted they are savage beasts ferocious insatiable he's talking about peace [Music] although it doesn't seem right to even call it a forest anymore why do you say that because the tainted devoured any and all living things apart from other tainted letters if you mean even mighty toxins indeed [Music] is [Music] [Music] specifically requested i enlist your team it's just as you say there's no time for us to screw around and we still absolutely need to find the life holder but remember the fact is we're also dealing with hostile xenos here [Music] and if it's that important to them right what if it's a secret weapon powerful enough to tip the scales feels like a bit of a long shot to be honest but okay even if we can't use it we should at least [Music] but if we're going to take this on we'll need to keep it quick [Music] well of course after all this time watching over you and fattening you up i'm not about to let my prized turkey go to some rabbit indigenes [Music] everybody set yes sir ready to go someone's excited just doing my job speaking of which it's pretty amazing you made white whale crew at your age you have family here my mom and dad passed away they didn't make it uh that day the attack on earth no sir it was before that an accident ah i'm sorry it's okay my parents were both design engineers who worked on the white whale project but there was a mishap with the primary engine test still it's thanks to them and people like them that the rest of us are all still here you know they made the white whale space worthy so they didn't die in vain at least that's what i like to think i see so they gave you a spot on the white whale to say thanks thanks to your parents for all their hard work it's a debt i try to repay every day helping out folks any way i can don't misunderstand love lynn earned her spot on the crew like anyone else it was her talent and determination that made it happen her parents positions provided an environment for her to learn it but that's it mim got to where she is now entirely on her own it's okay emma no she's right sometimes i talk before thinking sorry about that don't be silly you don't need to apologize to me sir now shall we get going [Music] hmm which way if we go straight we should hit some caves that lead to our destination okay then let's go this means we're getting close yeah it's just ahead elma relax they won't bother us if we don't bother them yeah i know what you mean but [Music] three no signs of any radiation infrared motion sensors i got nothing this thing's dead as a doornail oh man so it's basically a skill right but the make is nothing like ours or the ganglions where could it be from oh wow i can't even tell what its armor is made of what is this feeling it's oppressive it's pulsing off of this thing it's almost as if the ghost of its pilot is somehow still lingering and that material there at its core it's dark matter this must be their handiwork no no idea all right well we got what we came here for let's call in the salvage choppers and get it out of here lynn contact commander fandom on it [Music] right we should start heading back too just thinking about walking past all those tainted again it's your knees all wobbly tatsu have just the thing friends fuel up with tatsu tasty punchbox tatsu what are you doing here tatsu new friends must be hungry so thompson writes mini plain gear to deliver hot meals after all idiots you're gonna attract the tainted relax lindley after quick lunch tatsu fly back home on spiny plane before anyone notice and how exactly do you plan to do that all the spinny planes have already left you're gonna have to walk back through all those taintings we'll last ten seconds out here huh maybe we can get another chopper here in time too late looks like somebody else wants out [Music] [Music] play grenade leave it to me at the alpha good lord everyone take him down [Music] look at this [Music] leave it to me well that was fun let's get the hell out of here you've got to be kidding me hello wow [Music] [Applause] [Applause] wow wow so wow [Applause] [Applause] was that thing trying to help us maybe or maybe it was just toying with us well i think i could have taken it we should get back to new la i want to stop by the hangar and get a better look at that scale right [Music] good work people commander what are you doing out here did they seal off the area actually i was waiting for you lin why me you want to tinker with that new alien mech well i mean duh good because i'm putting you in charge of research you help reel it in you get first crack at it you and your team risked a lot out there you earned it oh really sir everything's set up they're expecting you yes sir oh my god thank you so much commander hmm is this even a skill i mean the external armor maybe but i'm not detecting any known materials or components for the purple frame part in fact i can't even find a power source maybe it's like an idol or something to some alien god or whatever what about a cockpit or any space for a pilot let's see here there is a cavity in the middle of the chest area if this thing is a vehicle that'd have to be the cockpit perhaps it's not a weapon it was abandoned after all and in that god-forsaken place but it was also worth the ganglion sacrificing all those soldiers to try and recover it surely it must hold some value granted now the question is whether we'll be able to uncover it ms coo is one of our best but we can't expect her to work miracles [Music] if you ask me that's time better spent studying that aries of yours elma all right you wouldn't know what i'm talking about would you let me explain the aries is what alma fandom oh right [Music] [Music] those are your orders have i made myself clear quite you seem displeased gajard perhaps the great hero of roth does not enjoy taking orders from the ganglion perhaps he feels it beneath him it appears nothing is beneath me of late i still hear the anger in your voice the way you spit out the words accept your fate then you might find me a more accommodating master prince john oh but how rude of me should i have said former prince i never cared much for titles counselor luxar it's grand master damn you the entire ganglion organization is at my command as are you and your people i will not remind you again oh but how rude of me my sincere apologies grand counselor have you also forgotten the price the rothian people will pay if you fail me i promise you it will not be pretty what will happen if the humans beat you to the prize need i remind you of that as well no you need not then mind your tongue former prince unless your pride can feed and clothe your people filthy curl yet i will suffer him gladly if he can help lead me to you oh great one [Music] hmm what should i whip up today [Music] that is a great idea lily lindley what is lilly making fried meat so we'll chicken something that tastes like chicken or should i say someone who tastes like chicken what stocks do not taste like chicken tastes like poop and poison tatsu tastes like poison poop wait i just remembered we have plenty of chicken hey did that on purpose lily is cruel and mean [Music] what's up what irina's team is calling for reinforcements hmm afraid so so what's the situation turns out we found a piece of the life hold on oblivia those guys are after it what we found a lifehold unit that's great it's also news to us unfortunately it's not the core but it's in primo condition and every piece counts irina's team just happened to draw the job so what happened trouble trouble seems our ganglion pals have a face right near there i see and their soldiers have come between arenas crew and the life hold is that it bingo that's why we need to move quickly there's no time to lose we'll leave immediately send us the mission data on frontier nav i've already got it here i'll send it to everyone's com devices good luck just be careful the clock's still ticking we can't afford to lose our best people so [Music] i'm going after it you three cover me but that's suicide we need that bulb unit no matter what the cost then let me take point negative lieutenant irina we're here to [Music] we'll keep the help busy you look for an opening and secure the lifeboat yes ma'am [Music] [Music] follow me [Music] don't forget about the rest take the fight i'm not picking up any more hostels friends get all of them tatsu not even break a sweat right there were so many of them but they barely put up a fight could this have been a diversion we need to catch up with arena's team before it's too late let's move [Music] [Music] whoa that was fast and you were so outnumbered in everything nothing can stop team katsu tatsu eat baddies like them for breakfast says tomorrow's breakfast colonel ma'am well done out there likewise now what happened to arena and marcus where are they they're up checking on the life hold unit and you've had no sign of hostiles no dead quiet hmm okay it just felt so much like a a trap arena marcus run market right oh what a shame you didn't fall for my little surprise that voice the woman from noctulum one [Applause] i knew they had to be holding back their big guns for something here it is well aren't you the clever one what you just saw was only a prayer an amusement if you will blowing up our life amuses you well perhaps amusement is not more like a deep satisfaction like curing an scrubbing an illness stain clean the stain of humanity of course the true pleasure will come from watching your field bodies not that i won't enjoy trashing these crude puppets of yours it'll certainly be enough to tide me over for the time being till the real fun begins then they know about the light bulb and pins you primate we know all about your car your fool's errand to gather these trains human extinction is inevitable [Music] [Music] [Music] enough of the pain you caused the universe the only agony would be suffering you any longer oh please what would a mere human know of our history she is mine irina your team has the others right [Music] sure you can do this the hard way in and keep the rhythms [Music] [Music] leave it to me i just why would these aliens be this determined to destroy us honestly if i had to venture a guess i'd say they're afraid they fear humans they feel threatened we threatened them we didn't blow up their planet we didn't hunt them halfway across the galaxy to wipe out their whole goddamn species lieutenant i'm sorry just brings back a lot of emotions i'll be fine let's go if you say so colonel with your permission my team will report back to the city [Music] i can't thank you enough for your support [Music] what was that about [Music] irina had a younger brother he was best friends with gwen actually but he he didn't make it onto the white whale we lost him when we lost earth everyone's got a story like that not that it makes it any easier [Music] commander we located the life hold but yeah irina already briefed me i'm just glad you all got back here safe and sound wish we could say the same for that archive unit another swath of earth's legacy it's irreplaceable yeah well so are all of you so cheer up huh come on let's get you guys fed dinner is on me this time okay this is weird very weird tatsu is suspicious what a commander can't treat his troops if you're trying to thank us for this job there's really no need this time it was arena's team next time it could be my team any blade would do the same for us okay fair enough besides lily cooks best hey thanks tatsu just for that i'll make you some dessert today [Music] there you go the spud's right no one cooks like lynn thanks commander if you wanted to join us maybe i could great let's eat [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] now that is a good idea lily lily what is lily making [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] citizens of nla this is secretary knox of you that have served under me here or on the white whale no i'm not one to mince words so i'll get right to the point we are at war even now the hostile alien force known as the ganglia marching on new los angeles we know they possess scale-class ground-based units and we have reports of unidentified flying weaponry as well director general shosan is attempting to open a dial but our enemy has shown no signs of being open to negotiation in light of all this it is my duty to prepare us all for the worst and this is why i've called an emergency assembly of all blade divisions to be clear none of this changes our mission with regards to recovering the life hold but in the short term it is absolutely crucial that we protect our city not just for our fellow humans but for the manna and our other xenoform allies as well new los angeles is home to us all including our brothers and sisters yet to be awakened in that spirit the man on have agreed to use their ship to ferry all non-combatants out of the combat zone this is a temporary measure but also a very good example of how we all human and xenoform alike must sacrifice and contribute to our common cause for those of us who will fight i promise you that once we prevail any mimeosome damaged or destroyed will be fully restored troops a trying battle awaits us but we must repel the coming invasion no matter what the cost we're counting on you [Music] you all heard what nagi said ganglion forces are closing in on the city i'd love it if chosan could negotiate our way out of this but we all know better they've made their feelings about humans pretty clear our team has been assigned the most crucial defensive position the administrative district gate if we lose blade hq that's it we've lost the war we have to expect the ganglion know this and we'll hit it hard uh yeah no pressure there do we know where everyone else is stationed irina's by the entrance to the industrial district doug's on standby until we make visual contact with the enemy and laos guarding the hangar tatsu will manage supply lines use no pond connections to keep key materials stocked thanks tatsu when this is all over i'll bake you into a delicious meal and you rook you ready to be honest me too you'd be a fool not to be scared so elma is scared too of course [Music] bravery isn't about never being afraid bravery is being afraid and moving forward anyway let's move out [Music] bad time for rain where are all these titles coming from he's trying to lay on some gravity he once sounds like the leader of the huge organized army well it's just a title he can call himself colonel squaretash for all i care if it gets the ganglion to listen i'm all for it great now i'll never get colonel squaretash out of my head attention ganglion your army has unlawfully crossed new la's defense perimeter you have 10 seconds to hold your advance and agree to negotiate if you do not comply we will have no choice but to interpret your actions and the all right remember our job is to destroy any ganglion that so much as think about going through the gate here and infiltrating the city got it roger tattoo is roger too open five look [Music] too many hold your ground we're the last line between them and human extinction we can't let them pass they've seen us they're off guard let's see wow not so many bad aliens now it seems like it's working [Music] let's keep it up this one's got your name on it move in and do some damage all right who's next stand down lin we've cleared the area there's no further hostile signatures detected all enemy crash in the combat arena have been destroyed roger that we did it we did i think you're right that was way too few troops they must be testing our defenses ugly aliens got one look at hiropantatsu and surrendered something tells me no [Music] i knew it the ground attack was a fate everyone we need to get back to the city we're fighting inside the city no no we tried to avoid it but now we have no choice better to risk damaging the city than losing it all together let's move [Music] missiles take them out [Music] [Music] damn it was a direct hit to lost the second we find that core i'll bring you back first i swear hey that's us let's go help but we can't leave the artifact unprotected team can handle it they need us out there yes sir [Music] are you telling me you losers can't even handle a bunch of humans tara god wants to join fight what why would you want to do that although i suppose if we don't pitch in now that full luxar will never get off our backs very well have it your way man looks like a number of enemy scales have entered the city agreed let's give every ganglion we can find a nice warm welcome roger that alma we got a situation in the commercial district two really nasty sovs they're tearing through everything we throw at them secure your area and get over their asap copy that we're on it [Music] lock this don't forget about the rest take the fight to death [Music] oh you're right to be afraid little girl stay calm don't let them into your head we've faced worse than this before we've won every single time don't forget that i know yeah you're right it's much easier to be brave with you guys here sorry to worry i'll be fine now come on let's kick some ganglion butt now touching the bossy one with the silver hair she looks like she must be all right doggone i changed my mind kill her first [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] leave it to me you primitive worms looks like you underestimated your enemy you two are the only ones left and you expect me to kiss your hand and beg for my life i'd rather laugh my way to the graves wait we don't have to continue like this what are you waiting for lost your nerve you are more useful alive what go back to your people your masters tell them we want no further conflict tell them the humans are willing to negotiate that we can find common ground and coexist here peacefully [Laughter] don't tell me you honestly think you've won here do you what was that explosion turtle this is bad they got the alien scout they smashed into the hangar and got the scout so [Music] and now another city of innocence burns all so they can lay claim to a single scalp was this truly necessary i have become party to madness your target was the mech all along oh you're so quick i can see why they made you the leader and now the vita is ours so you see you didn't win anything you lost you sure about that your people managed to swipe that alien mech out from under us i'll give you that but our mission was to repel the invasion and defend new la at all costs nothing more nothing less in that we succeeded for now maybe but you you were sent here to take the city and as far as i can tell it's still standing so i'd say you're the only loser here now crawl home tell your ganglion leaders you were beaten and deliver my message hurry up and go before i change my mind [Music] period it's us or you you arrogant worm no negotiation no compromise and no mercy irina thank god you're both all right yeah we made it back but marcus wasn't so lucky what happened he took an enemy missile barrage what he's gone listen lieutenant we're going to find that life hold core and when we do marcus will be the first one back in a brand new state of the art mem i promise yes yes just like quinn only taller and slimmer and with more muscles on his wings and more handsome too thanks guys no seriously thanks i like this idea we'll find marcus the handsomest strongest most unwin-like meme around oh you too now so colonel we lost the alien scout well last i heard we weren't even sure what it was doesn't seem like much of a loss to me if only it were that simple [Music] the important thing is we managed to repel the invasion force we're still alive and nla is still standing i'll take that as a victory hell yeah the colonel's right we did good here today we won [Music] sounds [Music] [Music] roger that then we'll see you back at headquarters in a bit [Music] let's go check out the hang on right [Music] i'll kill every last one of them [Music] i'll kill them with my own bare hands if i have to [Music] there's no excuse this wouldn't have happened if i didn't order my men to leave their posts you were just trying to help it's okay we should count ourselves lucky we ended up with so few casualties sorry to break up the love in but you know there must be something to that skill if they were this worried about it i wonder the bigger question is how they even knew we had it and how did they know exactly where we were keeping it no way [Music] yes at last the great one's divine vessel is mine i beg you o great one descend to this humble planet and guide me i am yours to command [Music] [Music] working hard out there [Music] so [Music] um [Music] [Music] uh hmm [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] foreign oh um [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] um don't [Music] hmm what should i whip up today [Music] that is a great idea oh thompson spilling yogurt all over himself nothing wrong with that [Music] well of course now while i keep the oven you spread the yogurt down your back too okay uh okay but uh shouldn't tatsu be cleaning off yogurt instead but don't be silly we need it spread evenly for the tandoori sauce no chicken oh right it's tandoori chicken tatsu is not laughing tatsu is not laughing okay it's ready [Music] now that hit the spot i'm glad you enjoyed it sir i figured someone might show up unannounced so i made a little extra this time great then i'll just show up for random meals as i please that's not what i meant okay good news first some pathfinders detected another piece of the life hold yes is it the core woohoo tatsu do dance of discovery we don't know what it is which is why we need you to check it out asap the coordinates we have for it are up north of new la in silva oh one sec silvalum correct me if i'm wrong but uh didn't we just detect signs of a ganglion presence there that's the bad news which is why i'm only asking our top combat units to take this on understood consider it done commander we'll get started immediately i was hoping you'd say that i talked to laos team as well by the way they're already on route your rendezvous with them here good luck i just pray this is the peace we need there's not much time left wow [Music] you can't be serious your entire team gone dead killed by ganglion and it's all my fault if only we'd gotten here sooner what you think you could have stopped it what's it matter anyway we can just bring them all back once we find the life hold right [Music] hey wow look at us the chosen few all those people we left on earth they never had a chance but us we can be reborn we get as many damn chances as we want if we find the core without that there's no chance for any of us look we can talk later for now we need to get you back to the city let's regroup there so we can get you patched up no way what if it turns out to be the core and the ganglion get to it first you can't let that happen we can't just leave you here lau you can and you will i'll be fine until the reclaimers can get here still i'm sending you all the intel we have it's further north from here sorry i can't help it's up to you now don't worry we can handle it let's get moving with luck we can secure the life hold before the ganglion know we're here lynn yeah maybe you should sit this one out the place is crawling with ganglion that's why i'm going exactly why i'm part of a team and we have a job to do if it's going to be dangerous that's all the more reason for us to stick together and i'm a lot more capable than you think lau but i know you're trying to look out for me and i appreciate it it's not like they'll be killed they'll just lose their mims is all what's it matter anyway [Music] is this the spot that's weird tattoo don't see anything lin go ahead and double check the coordinates would you right i have a bad feeling about this don't tell me elma i'm picking up multiple incoming heat signatures we're surrounded uh [Music] do it you've been tricked lower your weapons [Music] humans before your first time laying eyes on the proud people of roth surrender humans we have you surrounding if you put away your weapons and comply you will be treated with the respect that warriors of your caliber as they say everyone we don't have a choice luxor's conniving served them to us on a platter which only makes the task all the less palatable [Music] [Music] don't worry i'm in charge here my subordinates are of no use to you i ask that you let them go unfortunately that is not my decision we are mercenaries we do as our patrons i am to deliver all of you to the gangly and stronghold i thought the ganglion wanted all humans erratically why take us the next question the ganglion are indeed terrifying your species however this fear is only of your natural form are real bodies but why why would they fear our real bodies this i do not know if i did i would gladly lay their wretched plans bare prince jog luxoff never ordered us to keep his secrets only to remember his precious title take them away luxar is that the ganglion leader wait first i have a question how has a noble species such as yours allowed itself to be reduced to such disgrace what the ganglion have committed unspeakable acts all across this planet surely you must know that they kill without cause or mercy why would you serve such scalpels why sink so low mind your toes human who are you to judge the prince's actions what could you possibly know of our people's struggle of how our homeland was torn away from us it's true we cannot say i understand your plight but humanity lost its home just like you and yet we chose to stand up and fight the ganglion yeah the ganglion have bought our compliance yes but make no mistake the rothians would never sell their pride prove it then make a choice here that you can be proud of the ganglion would have us dismiss you as uncultured savages but i see reason in your words and strength in your bearing very well we will settle this the old way defeat us in battle and yes you will also win your freedom excellent i will grant no quarter and expect none in return mercy would be an insult but my prince win or lose luxor will punish us forgive me i can suffer those villains unjust orders no longer of course [Music] roth will survive yes my prince with you leading us yes and one to be proud [Music] no rest for the wicked engaging this okay [Music] that was not my best finally a fight worthy of gunjarg well met but how will you fail when the sticks are raised pact2 begins equip yourselves as you see the fit let the real button begin [Music] [Music] it didn't have to be like this uh the wood chippers [Music] true i thank you for this defeat our encounter has been most edifying north of here lies a shadowy land of rock and fire jagged black stone lit only by scars of boiling magma there you will find the ganglion stronghold may the tides of war lift your fortunes that guy was not so bad huh yeah he said they're mercenaries maybe we could convince them to fight for us great idea lindley tatsu love kitties i wouldn't call them kitties to their face small fry they'd slice you up brine the wedges add a nice buttercream sauce then literally talking way too many details oh sorry was i saying that out loud lilly is not funny hey good news lau was just admitted to the maintenance center looks like he's gonna make it really thank god they got to him in time let's hurry back and check in on him right elmar what is it nothing sorry just a little worried about lau let's get back to new la grandmaster luxor i thought i told you never to disturb me in this chamber what is it sir a message from gajar you'll want to see it sir counselor luxar this is mercenary warlord gajar former prince of the kingdom of wrath it is with a heavy heart and deep regret that i must report to you that the rothian people are unable to carry out your mission to annihilate the human race we realize this means we will no longer enjoy the benevolence of ganglion patronage so be it the rothian people will make our way as an independent mercenary force effective immediately we look forward to settling our debt with you on some future battlefield until then good job you traitor i should have known those ungrateful rats would bite the hand that feeds them [Laughter] you seem to enjoy that prince john but what a shame if only i could see the look on what that overgrown slug calls a face my prince what has gotten into you you disapprove on the contrary everyone loves a scoundrel is that so then we're in luck from this day forth we are lawless vagabond subject to no one what say you to that you rothian scoundrels [Applause] morning sleeping beauty doug is this delightful new la buddy sorry no real body just yet they saved your mim before it shut down too bad huh better luck next time you died [Music] save it just rest doug you beat us here so how's he doing he'll be up and around in no time why don't you go take a look for yourself say hi thanks we need to talk can you spare a minute of course [Music] [Music] it's more than a suspicion let's hear it the ganglion were struggling to retrieve that alien mech the vida lao suggested we go after it he even planned the mission so we extract it and the ganglion know exactly where it is when they come for it with lao's team away from guard [Music] and his last mission he gave us coordinates for a life holding that he found turned out to be a ganglion ambush it's too much to be a coincidence well what do you think rook you think he's a spy [Music] even if you're right he saved our bacon plenty of times we should at least give him a chance to explain himself we owe him that much yeah i guess you're right [Music] hmm what should i whip up today [Music] that is a great idea lindley lindley what is the link making today is one of my specialties pot pie pie the tattoo ever tell lilly pie is his favorite times who will even help lily make it great why don't you flatten out that craft tatsu will jump to it [Music] how big does lilly want crust to be oh just big enough to cover you completely how many times [Music] oh right that does sound familiar lily always say that too let me say that every time time to eat everyone man oh man lin somehow you manage to outdo yourself every time it's all about the ingredients right tatsu right let's get started well before that i need to clear something up commander i know you're wondering after the bogus life hold lead we had the pathfinders turned inside out sure enough we found evidence that someone messed with frontier nav they planted that phony data you mean we got a spy that's right one of our own is working with the ganglion this was an inside job one question commander like we don't have enough to worry about and here i am sending you all out right into that death trap damn it i don't know what else to say except i'm sorry i hope you'll forgive me tatsu like muscle man better when he angry and yelling zip it pipsqueak or you'll be seasoned and fried by breakfast [Music] tatsu has a point though it's not like you to dwell on mistakes commander especially when they weren't your mistakes to begin with wouldn't you agree well but no butts about it sir and no more apologies okay we survived after all now let's see that surly task master we all know and love that's right your orders commander well put it that way who am i damn all right touchy feely time is over i've got your next assignment we need you to head out and fix a key data probe that's on the fritz it's way out in northern silvalum we'll get you the coordinates yes sir with pleasure repair missions are my specialty that's why we picked you that and the ganglion have been quiet lately too quiet i don't like it yeah i've been thinking the same thing in your report the roth here was it he made it sound like they've got a base tucked away someplace with black rocks and lava that's got to be cauldrons yeah i think it's a safe assumption yes well anyway as you might have guessed the idea of a big old ganglion base here on mirror is not exactly spilled agreed [Music] we're really getting down to the wire here where the hell is that core foreign yes aren't you the most beautiful thing ever we are gonna have so much fun together shall we pay another visit to our human friends grandmaster luxar grindmaster sir i heard you the first time imbecile lower your voice in my presence it's the recently completed super sir rhys made off with it what did you say why would she do that why does everyone in this confounded organization think they can do whatever they please [Music] yep that is definitely one busted probe hang tight while i run a diagnostic and see what i can do and that should do it all set sorry for the wait well done as always all in a day's work one thing the problem we had here wasn't unique it's bound to affect the other probes sooner or later we probably should patch them all to be safe is lindley serious friends want to go stitch up every probe on all of meera tatsu will be grumpy pond before friends finish simmer down potato skin it's not that bad i fixed this one manually but now i can upload that patch and fix all the other probes throughout the network at once phew whatever lily talking about tatsu believe her tatsu do dance of relief not to fix so many probes yeah we have planted a lot of them haven't we and really what's it gotten us hmm not just us everyone all of blade all of nla we spent all this time on frontier nav you know what if we never find the core then what do we do we've searched all over this planet looking for the life hold core what if it's not even here what if the whole thing smashed to bits when it crashed down you know that's not possible do i our consciousnesses aren't here they're controlling these mims remotely from the core it can't have been destroyed in fact it has to be somewhere relatively close or we would feel the lag you're right i just it's okay lin i know you're tired it's been a long couple of months being inside these mems takes its toll on all of us it's only natural to feel like this [Music] but i promise it's going to be all right [Music] what were they thinking when they designed these things anyway hmm what did they mean these mims why would you make an artificial body that can cry tears so embarrassing well lots of reasons tears lubricate the eyes they flush out dust and debris and unwanted feelings too you feel better don't you hmm i guess those mim makers knew what they were doing after all well if i ever see them i'll be sure to tell them you said so thanks hmm friends hear that there what is it [Music] it's really really big bigger than caravan big bigger than even legendary frontier village big its transponders are responding to our iff signal we have to assume it's possible take cover wait something that size on that course must be targeting in l.a we can't let it get anywhere near the city we have to put a stop to it [Music] i figured you'd say as much remember the entire city is counting on us it's not this big piece of junk right out of the sky they stopped running they're even dumber than i thought yes thanks genius now sit back and watch while i burn the human scum alive come on look at the little ant stampers watch out [Music] i think there's hope you wish follow up [Music] combat [Music] [Music] leave it to me little germs left plenty of attacks have you forgotten human city silence stop with all the thinking it's not your struggles but you cannot win like this you must transform zoofar now it's just about two okay now would you kindly please shut up no one makes a fool of me no one uh the ganglion must have some kind of anti-gravitational flight technology that's the only thing that makes sense our flight modules to rely on propulsion i hate to admit it but this is way beyond anything we've got we're out classed humanity's made great advances before especially when we needed the most [Music] [Music] but now that you've seen secret no choice but to wipe you out oh [Music] [Music] follow me [Music] oh [Music] move in and keep the rhythm going do something anything damn it no buttons [Music] no they're just puny wretched little humans [Music] [Music] bye bye nasty robot gangly and learn hard way what happens when you mess with team tatsu we fought as a team and we fought well i only hope there aren't any more like this back at their base if these things hit the city in numbers we'd have no chance at all exactly exactly another reason we need to find that lifehold core as soon as possible what do you mean remember what the rothian prince told us in silvalum how about the ganglion [Music] they fear actual human bodies i don't know why that is it might be the key to victory [Music] survival [Music] so what should i whip up today [Music] all right you got it [Music] so [Music] what was that all about did i hear him talking to lau whatever it was it didn't sound very good we'd better get to the hanger asap [Music] [Music] boy have you lost your mind you know damn well what that data means to us to our entire race of course i do it means an end to this giant lie i've been waiting a long time for this commander what's going on ask lao we caught him stealing a data terminal with classified intel stealing intel explain yourself lao you should have let me die that day alma you knew the truth that i was a ganglion spy what i had my suspicions but i didn't want to believe it your mistake and it'll cost you the data and your newest scale the prog aries the ganglion will appreciate the gift boy i am gonna kick your ass so hard your real body will feel it not if you value your precious data wow what the hell's going on here oh look at this the whole gang's coming out to say goodbye what the hell loud holder fire he's got the only copy of that data on his mem damn it a little insurance policy sorry duck you'd betray all your friends your entire species well i'm no big fan of theirs believe me they're talking cats or that giant leech but the ganglion and i share a common goal and that is think about it doug you know the answer the hell i do you've lost goodbye wow [Music] so [Music] [Music] all right what exactly happened back there welp you all know how frontier nav uses the white whale's trajectory data to simulate potential crash scenarios then cross-checks it with our probes to narrow down possible life hold coordinates well all that work paid off we finally got enough probes in the ground to accomplish what we've been trying to do in other words we can isolate every possible landing zone and scan them to find the life hold core what oh are you certain that's what the eggheads tell me [Music] so what are we waiting for wow i don't get it i think i do that's right he took the terminal that was analyzing the data and deleted all the backups for good measure we already started over but the coordinates were calculated from a massive amount of accumulated data redoing all the work we did up until this point could take weeks if not more which means the life hold would run out of time first and then poof bingo then we have no choice we have to find lao and recover that terminal for now let's assume he's headed for that ganglion stronghold we heard about north of silvala we'll need to hurry i just hope that gujjar guy was telling the truth everything is riding on this mission don't screw it up [Music] that god damn good for nothing what the hell is he after no hold fast [Music] oh can make it or not you know what i mean this reading it's the prague ares this puts its signature in the middle of the large chamber on the other side of this structure you think we found lao then he can't be far let's go okay um i have no idea how to open this hmm all right let's look around and see if we spot another entrance how about door up over there [Music] so somehow i knew something like this was going to happen the clock's ticking take it down quickly come on you and me [Music] leave it to me is [Music] what do you think it is part of a machine silly friends it obviously key to big door from before i actually think he's right i uh okay wow this way we can write our skeleton exactly i expected no less from nla's number one team wow [Music] ganglion really are afraid you know even luxar their leader trembles at the idea we might get our bodies back that's why he had me stick around here to keep you out of his tendrils you knew we had no choice we had to chase after that stolen data terminal none of this will matter soon once they destroy the life hold core and all of us with it this will all be over you don't sound so excited anymore of course i'm excited why wouldn't i be you can finally stop living this goddamn lie we'll all be free at last [Music] we'll be dead loud how does that free anyone instead of reuniting with our real flesh and blood wrong we're already dead a flesh and blood burned away with the earth [Music] listen lao we don't have time for a debate here we came here for that terminal and we're taking it back with us whether you like it or not of course you wouldn't want to hear this would you or have them hear it fair enough let's go follow up this is wrong humanity should have died out along with the earth we should have let nature take its course and accepted our fate you don't believe that lao if you did you would have never volunteered to work on project exodus in the first place or on the white whales crew well i was a believer once i honestly thought we could pull it off i knew we couldn't save everyone of course billions of people in that time frame but a cross-section of races religions yes it felt like all the usual politics disappeared people from different countries had to come together there was no other choice this was survival so i signed up so what happened it was all lies if you weren't rich or connected or part of the first world elite you got left to die on earth what oh yes the only reason people like you and me got on board the white whale is because they could use our skills exploit our talents but everyone else all those countless souls boxed up in your precious life hold core the same elitist bastards that decided they're the only part of humanity worth saving no if you don't believe me ask elma i can't say i agreed with how all the passengers were chosen but i hardly see how it justifies this madness we were acting to save the human race i never understood why humans separate themselves off race class religion country age as if it matters in the end on a genetic level the differences are insignificant no not insignificant not to humans but really how could you understand alma sorry but i won't let those bastards purge what made us human he'll kill us all first wow look i admit i had no idea about any of this but killing what's left of us isn't going to solve anything it's you playing god instead of them how is that fair [Music] don't talk to me about fair is it fair what happened to my wife and little girl that's why i i volunteered sign up for project exodus because i wanted to save the human race i signed up for project exodus because i wanted to save my family we knew there were no guarantees we'd be chosen of course we promised each other we'd accept our fate either way but at least this way we had a chance we had something to hope for hope was all we asked for but there was never any hope not really the decision was already made we just didn't know it yet these scum deserve to die alma no one deserves to die lau tell that to charmaine and chenshi tell us everyone we left back on earth and you knew you knew they'd seal the fate of all those people and then you lied you lied about why no one could know who made it under this ship until after launch the decision came down to saving a subset of humanity or total extinction i stand by that decision and i'd do it again enough talk i don't expect you to agree with every decision that was made in the past but i won't let you destroy humanity's future fair enough i don't expect you to agree either but that won't stop me [Music] come on get out of won't let you here [Music] no more fighting lao and no more excuses the data go ahead go ahead and shoot if you're so sure of yourself just don't hit the terminal so what's it gonna be the chest or the head you've got a 50 50 chance the fate of all humanity hanging in the balance gonna love those odds so what are you waiting for no alma not like this step aside lin if i can shut down his mem there's still a good chance we can extract the data afterwards no damn it that's not even the point we're all on the same side here you you too thank you elma listen i i understand love's anger i lost my family to an accident a long time ago but if someone promised me a chance of saving them and that was all a self-serving lie i who knows what i would do it's disturbing and corrupt and disgusting and yet that's exactly what makes us human maybe maybe we really should have been wiped out of existence but but then little crusade guess i'm just as corrupt as anyone else wow i changed my mind changed your mind i thought this was about them but somewhere along the way it became about me and about revenge it's over now so go the life hold core has built in on our defenses it'll take them some time to destroy it if you hurry you might still make it in time he's right there's no time to lose lynn can you finish the analysis here it's technically possible but without the full nla mainframe working on it it would take way too much time then we have no choice let's get back to the city asap wow too come back with us to new la yeah right as if i could ever set foot inside that city again it won't be like that not once everyone knows the facts at least they might not agree but they will understand you naive lynn can lock me up and toss away the key or worse a lot worse maybe but that's on you you have a lot to answer to so either way we're taking you back with us i'd rather be shot come on lau let's go home fine whatever but there's no time to evac me you go ahead but that's elma he's right lynn time is running out we need to move and fast all right then wow we'll send some medics for you okay just stay put until then you're not allowed to die you hear me i'll see you back in new la sure right you got it how would you go already okay tatsu will split special lunchbox with loud because lindley says lao not allowed to die so lau stay alive for thinly or else or else tatsu killed him not allowed to die of course i'm not even if i killed myself i'd just wake up in a new mim anyway charmaine chenshi i'm so sorry girls it seems like papa can't come to be with you just yet damn it i'm sorry you watch over each other until i get there [Music] tell me you got it yes sir thank god let's get it analyzed commander hold on lao's still back at the ganglion basin cauldros he's seriously injured yeah and what exactly are you getting at i know you aren't suggesting we helped that backstabbing bastard he tried to kill you guys i am but he's been through a lot commander you know his story as well as anyone when we signed off on project exodus we knew there'd be cases like lao potentially hundreds of them look at irina she's still struggling with losing her brother but we moved forward anyway for the greater good of mankind irina didn't try to kill us in fact she's been doing everything she can to help further blade's cause are you sure according to gwyn she's been acting strange reckless almost suicidal he thinks maybe she wants to die [Music] it takes different forms but it's coming from the same place as lao of course it's no excuse for what he's done just putting it in perspective fine we'll bring him in oh thank you thank you so much commander i wouldn't get too excited about it especially after i break every bone in his body [Music] it's going to take a bit to complete the analysis let's regroup at the barracks [Music] brave citizens of new los angeles this is your director general mauricio today i come before you with truly joyous news news that i have been longing to be able to share with you since we first set foot on this unknown world thanks to the tireless efforts of the brave men and women of blade we have finally finally succeeded in securing the location of the lifehold corps now make no mistake recovery of the corps will not be easy especially as the ganglion continue their persecution of our people but as long as we forge ahead with the same determination and fortitude that got us this far i have every confidence we will succeed in our mission we will return to our natural bodies and take our place as living breathing residents of our new home here on mira until then i ask you all to stand together in strength and courage as proud citizens of nla all right blades you heard what the man said it's now or never so let's get right to it your mission is to secure the life hold core and activate its backup power system we'll have the exact location isolated in the next two hours you'll leave as soon as we have coordinates we're counting on all of you each and every single blade will participate in this mission godspeed all right everybody dig in and don't hold back i made enough for everyone tatsu helped with cooking too wow you really went all out it smells amazing don't go hogging it all gwen yeah whatever you're one to talk how kind of you to desert us like this lin what in the hell is this we're going to war here people and you know what they say can't go to war on an empty stomach can't go to war if you're dead either which is us if the life holds power runs out for all we know the gang gleaner already at the core getting ready to tear it apart you still hungry if we lose this one battle we lose everything we already understand that doug but you heard what nagi said we have to wait while they pinpoint the core's location like this you just don't get it do you no doug you don't get it what you think you're the only one here who's worried we all are we're scared to death that's why we're here together look irina lin is just trying to keep up morale the best way she knows how yeah pick on lindley and you answered a tatsu all right look lin i'm sorry i'm on edge worried freaked out all of it [Music] forgive me okay no but bring me 10 hot cocoas and we'll talk [Music] from that place you love right okay you got it all right everyone lynn went to all this trouble so let's dig in before it gets cold tatsu like this plan tatsu is starving well you don't have to ask me twice help yourself duck roger that [Music] oh man am i stuffed i couldn't eat another bite tatsu cannot move amazing as always lin thank you now i get why arena and the commander are always making excuses to swing by that was delicious oh you guys don't make me blush i'm just glad you enjoyed it well i should be getting back thanks for the eats shall we lieutenant yeah we'd better go too this was really great lin thanks yeah this was fun lin indeed it was a most enjoyable food ritual all right good luck out there guys alma the analysis is just about finished gather your team and get over here on our way that's the lifehold core the coordinates place it off the west coast of cauldro's it's no wonder we couldn't find it it's way out in the middle of the ocean did it sink underwater we'll find out soon enough let's suit up and get going secretary our survival as a species hinges on your efforts elma we need your help please save us we're all in this together secretary my goal hasn't changed since i first set foot on the white whale you of all people should know that i intend to see this through that should go without saying i know it's just we've put so much on your shoulders you can make it up to me with a nice long vacation once this is all over this planet fascinates me to no end i'd love to take some time to explore it with no agenda oh can tatsu be elma's guide of course tatsu do it free of charge it's all over the house let me guess l taught you that one we sent the coordinates to every blade team we got pelma i want you to act as commander for everyone out there in the field i'd be honored mr chief engineer i forgot how much i miss being called commander makes me feel like some useless old stuff sure yeah and shirts aren't your style all right team let's go roger has lunches all packed there it is damn they got to it already no not yet look where it meets the water is that a force field the life hold was designed to sustain human life at all costs the defensive shields that surround the core won't go down so easily so in other words we've nothing to worry about i didn't say that remember they don't need to break into the core they just have to keep us out until time runs out which is soon speaking of time it's time to kick some ganglion butts yes friends kick anglian in butts that's the spirit i need you all at your best everyone's counting on us to see this through and we won't get a second chance all units this is your commander elma my team will take point we'll breach the core and then once inside attempt to activate the backup power doug irina gwyn and l you're with us all other teams focus on clearing our approach then defend our position once we're in that is your priority not destroying all enemy craft are we clear team crosser to roger trishala roger ming gerson roger valma roger team sturter roger we'll take out any hospitals along your approach breach team let's go roger follow me leave it to me [Music] problem solved finally the lifehold core let's hurry before they can follow us inside all right here we go [Music] our real bodies we can finally be whole again attention this is light cold core control system energy levels have dropped below 0.2 shielding will be disabled in t minus one thousand seconds repeat this is light bulb core control what fifteen minutes and we lose the shields if the core runs out of power the shield will be the least of our problems well yes and no we need to keep the core powered but we do also need those shields it's two birds with one stone's throw away the shields will cause the ganglion to use up their material and retreat exactly everything comes down to getting the backup power source online right then let's do it [Music] once we're inside there's no turning back everyone ready you're sure now so why have we not received confirmation that the target is destroyed what is the delay grandmaster sir the target appears to have some manner of customized try-on barrier tree on barrier are you daft these are humans we're talking about no one outside of the clue system has access to tree on technology and those scales of theirs how did a primitive race like theirs manage to please those together as you say grandmaster but if they are truly the founder's descendancy don't speak to me of myths a tale to frighten children they are the disease not the cure they are not the failsafe [Music] damage sustained in turret cluster three the enemy forces are rallying sir we can no longer effectively strike the target where are they interceptors an enemy detachment has cut them off they can't reach us but these are savages not no i refuse to believe it prepare the future i shall crush them myself grandmaster with all due respect sir the vita belongs to the great one your body could not withstand it the great ones blood rods in these veins i will use it because i must use it you lose apes prophecy or no prophecy you will not be the end of our people i swear it ah yes your barrier you think it can stop the feature stop the great one hey [Music] [Music] the heart hey [Music] [Music] uh [Music] is this it will my unending thirst for knowledge be satiated at long last yeah so then where is it all all i see is a whole lot of nothing it's so quiet i feel like we're back in the cathedral okay elma what's the deal here where are all the stasis capsules where the hell are all our bodies don't tell me this isn't the core whoa what seriously this has to be it you all saw what the core looked like in the mission briefing this is definitely it lin's right this is the place then where are all the people we brought with us from earth you're all controlling these mims from your real bodies asleep in stasis that's the explanation you were given by nla or should i say ecp officials that was the official story but it's not the whole truth colonel what do you mean wretched humans you'd be dead already if it wasn't for that blasted barrier what the it's that mech they stole from you must be the ganglion leader the one lao spoke of luxar was it that's him do not presume to address me you defile my name by even speaking it only the great one may call me that great one i am here to purge the universe of your disease once and for all what are you so afraid of destroying the earth wasn't enough you had to chase down the survivors and destroy them too what's their threat [Music] you'd even risk flying that crippled mech that's right isn't it it's not complete it's still missing something vital the scales this whole blasted mess then perhaps i am mistaken after all perhaps humanity is the failsafe of religion but you will not find the ganglion content to submit and resign ourselves to that fate no instead i will purify this world and prepare it for the advent of the great one now humans you die i shall encourage you how can you be descended from them i confess you will write about one i was indeed fearful of humanity of your threat at the dawn of the cosmos the samarians arrived from another play way if we ever tried we would be destroyed i thought that it was just a myth and yet here you are you you miserable [Music] never that hurts me it can't be true then the old tales have come to pass even the great one's own vessel bested by these primates it's absolutely sickening the bigger they come the harder they fit we came here to ensure the survival of the human race the will to live is stronger than the will to destroy luxor that is why you lost the great one one plus is it over sure looks that way lieutenant we did it first dance of victory then lindley's victory feast sure tatsu i'm game let us dance up a storm in any port hey come on lighten up we just finally beat the ganglion tatsu even wants to be part of the victory feast isn't that right tatsu wait when little is a part of the feast yeah i mean we'll all eat you in celebration no no no no tatsu want nothing to do with lily's feast nothing at all oh okay we'll just eat without you then wait no lily know what tatsu means i'm sure you two will work it out somehow anyway getting back to the conversation from earlier so that big machine hanging above us i've never seen one anywhere near that size but it looks like a seventh generation quantum mainframe that's exactly right it's by far the most technologically advanced computer humanity has ever created in terms of both speed and capacity it's also the foundation for the earth life colonization project it's where all your consciousnesses have been recorded what alma you mean yes that's what i mean and not just everyone in new la the essence of all 20 million humans we brought with us from earth are there including all their memories their genetic makeup anything and everything it's all been digitized and stored away in the core right up there then what about our bodies you mean the originals all this data was sampled from they were destroyed along with the earth [Music] then wait you mean we're already dead [Music] you could see it that way or you could see it differently the bodies you were born with and all the chemicals and organs that created and stored your thoughts are gone but yourself has lived on as data from the moment the project scanned your minds it's all been stored here as part of the long-term plan until it could be moved back into a real body what real bodies i'll show you [Music] so [Music] those capsules represent a sample of all the genetic material that could be found on earth exodus was always about more than just fleeing the planet ships like the white whale were designed as arcs to carry the building blocks of all life on earth to the next world arc you mean as in like noah's ark yes that's exactly what i mean a last-ditch effort to save all living things that they might someday flourish again [Music] evening this entire chamber is filled with protoplasmic fluid you see how it works it can regenerate life from the genetic data stored above including humans all of us once your bodies are cultivated your present memory can be transferred back in everything you've felt or done in your mim will be carried over seamlessly without any loss in continuity you mean we'll have our bodies back it sounds too good to be true it is too good to be true our bodies were real we were born in them and now you just snap your fingers and bam we get new ones is that even right it doesn't feel like are we even humans anymore transferring our memories playing musical chairs with our bodies where do you draw the line how do i know i'll be the same person i was wherever i end up to some extent you won't be but then you never were on a cellular level we all wake up a slightly different people every day it's only because of the continuity of consciousness that we even perceive ourselves as ourselves it's all a fragile illusion and until anyone proves we all have a soul one better left to the philosophers you're right to have doubts doug this was the single biggest debate among the ecp board and rightly so so then we did talk about putting actual bodies in stasis we seriously considered it in fact some of the other projects took that path they would have been lucky if their ships were able to hold 50 000. [Music] the exodus arcs were different enough data and materials to revive 20 million people perfectly preserved on each and every ship the board weighed all the pros and cons the ethical issues and dangers of violating the natural order of things but this is what they landed on and i agreed so when lau said our flesh burned away with the earth he wasn't just being dramatic no he must have discovered the truth john made his pain worse the same people who passed over his family [Music] you know why right because of your [Music] the ultimate hope with project exodus was that nimiosomes could escort this system to a safe new home lay down the foundations of a new society basically reboot humanity continue where it left off despite everything we've been through with the ganglion and everything else that dream is almost a reality i know how you feel doug and you can call it whatever you like but i need to see us [Music] this is just [Music] i made it this far in a tin can why not [Music] um [Music] have no idea [Music] [Music] luxor he's still alive human skull fail safe or not you will never see your people reborn you will die in those puppet bodies of yours attention this is light world core control the system has detected a threat to core integrity now initiating internal defensive measures that slug-faced bastard he's targeting the main control system give it up luxor silence were you fools you are the ones who don't belong here humanity is the cancer not us do whatever it takes we have to stop him and quickly roger them wait a second look initiating [Music] are you kidding me [Music] the same system that regenerates life from earth can also create biological weapons to defend itself but those are my god those things those monsters are a defensive measure the system's malfunctioning we have to stop it oh perfect absolutely perfect hideous humans betrayed by their own hideous creation who the hell are you calling hideous [Music] [Music] this was not going anywhere you deal with the core defenses got it gotta say this blade's looking pretty sharp it didn't have to be like this initiating internal defensive measures you you traitorous scum what happened to our bargain do you humans have no principles at all principles you deal with a traitor you really shouldn't be surprised when you get stabbed in the back you primitive little in great have you forgotten what they did to you what they did to your family oh i remember all right my family still be here if you hadn't brought your damned war to our doorstep because of you there's only 20 million of us left that leaves 9.98 billion reasons for me to watch you dead you who took my wife and daughter away from me luxor wow damn it get him out of there [Music] this this is human dna it was true it was all true [Music] i thought exodus was a lie when we all accepted because the truth was too painful that humanity was meant to die off along with our home along with earth [Music] but something happened here on meera i realized i was wrong these mineosomes they aren't just ghosts or shadows they're people seeds of new life that are struggling to take root i finally see that now [Music] what's happening it's like all the life on earth is flowing inside me so [Music] he's absorbing all the dna we have to stop him [Music] no you can't out of the way lin we can't let the light hold be destroyed this time i'll shoot [Music] please [Music] last warning lin you need to move [Music] okay but then i'm fighting too not just for our sake but for him and you are you with me thank you [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] his memories [Music] [Music] a long time ago [Music] they created the game the original humans [Music] time for some heavy armor oh no you don't shadow strike this is breaking down [Music] wow [Music] [Music] that is wow [Music] you did the right thing [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] how's it look is it still running it's fine looks like it held together thank god we saved it all of us but we couldn't save lau on the contrary by stopping him and preventing him from destroying the system we saved lao too that's right his dna and his memories all of it is still stored in here exactly and with this now we finally have the means to bring him back but wait would he even want to come back all the things he did he'll be able to remember them all right all the more reason you can't make up for your mistakes when you're dead hell he'd better come back he's got work to do wrongs he needs to write she's right okay then come on let's hurry up and restore the system colonel everyone wait there's one more thing i need to talk to you about oh man what now the truth is exactly one mim in new la actually is being controlled remotely from a real body held in stasis here wait someone isn't stored in the database with the rest of us that's right this was a special case the hell does that mean better just to show you colonel [Music] elma ella is dead no i think this is i haven't died my consciousness has just returned to my real body [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so elma is that really you yes this is my true form [Music] i was kept here in stasis the only xenoform on board wait a second all this time you were an alien no way and all the more lovely for it i hope you all understand and at the end of the day i just hope you'll still consider me as one of you [Music] of course we will you've earned that elma it's not about how you look it's the person you are on the inside that's what counts yes yes lin's right colonel listen we know whatever you did you felt it was for the greater good yeah nothing's changed that's right everyone thank you your trust means everything to me and i have so much more to tell you now that this time has finally arrived but first there's something i must do and it's something that only i can do [Music] there the backup power should be all set authorization [Music] hey so did that really just work there's no way it might still run out of juice no it's working fandom is reporting that the ganglion forces outside the life hold have been routed the prospectors should have the main power system back online in a matter of days roger that it's over excellent work all of you well we all gotta die sometime but it won't be today that's right once the main power is back online we don't need to worry about running out again and we won't even need that anymore once we're back in our bodies yep you got that right first things first we'll need to get the control system repaired then we'll hit up the database down below we need to check on your memories just a second wasn't she saying she was gonna tell us the rest of what she knows hey that's right i got so excited i almost forgot relax there's no need for us to hurry right we're finally home free we've got all the time in the world now well it's a pretty long story tell you what why don't we go back to new la and we can talk over a nice big celebratory feast good idea lily can cook it all tutsu will oversee yeah you can watch over everything from inside the stewpot okay all right it's up well then without further ado right back to new la we're ready now ready to go home [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] it was 30 years ago when elma first came to earth [Music] she'd come with a mission [Music] a war was being waged between the interstellar federation the ganglion belonged to and another alien civilization and elma knew that eventually that war would come to earth she came to our planet alone to save us she convinced those in power like secretary nagi that the threat was real and helped put into motion a grand plan to preserve all of mankind her alien tech brought us skills so we could defend ourselves it gave us light speed travel to ensure our escape and it led to mimeosomes to facilitate our survival none of this would have been possible for centuries without the help we received from elma [Music] everyone says the earth died that day [Music] but not me i don't believe it the white whale couldn't have been the only ark to escape either there must be other survivors out there somewhere the path ahead may not be clear and it certainly won't be easy but for now the important thing is we're here on meera and we're alive and we'll live on for now with faith in our hearts that one day we can once again set out to search for the planet [Music] [Music] the sun rises [Music] [Applause] [Music] the only thing this don't was away [Music] [Applause] [Music] today [Music] [Applause] every [Music] don't give up [Music] don't give aways [Music] is [Music] wait what this damage isn't from our last battle it's from earlier when we crashed on mira it does look pretty bad in there doesn't it you'd never know it by looking at the exterior so oh all right i'm entering the database chamber be extra careful in there that's everything we've been working for understood what what is it elma is there a problem with the database no that's impossible report elma secretary i'll stick to the facts the system everyone's consciousnesses and memories the entire database has been destroyed for some time destroyed what do you mean explain yourself the entire chamber is flooded it's trashed the system is completely shut down and not just recently it's been this way since we got to meera that's absurd then then how are we how in the world would anyone be i know so then why would you be alive it's not possible without the database all your identities should be gone too it's this planet it's something about this planet [Music] [Music] you
