Yuji...
Code Number 2805,
Bullseye Pilot, Marlene Angel...
Having received orders
to recover Sleepers,
landed on Earth as a
member of Team Gran Seil.
Due to activation of the Blue
inhabiting the recovery site,
a Sleeper spontaneously
resuscitated.
Following the destruction
of the spaceport,
and following the manual,
headed toward Baikonur...
Baikonur Base also destroyed,
one and only recovered
Sample sustained severe injuries.
What grand results!
Are there any points
that need to be amended?
There are not.
Very well. You now have an
inquiry with the High Council.
Be sure to answer honestly.
High Council?
First of all, in any case, we
commend you for your efforts.
We appreciate the
manner in which you worked
to accomplish your duty to the
very end, regardless of the outcome.
However...
It cannot be denied that return
was greatly behind schedule!
Even in the unavoidable situation
that your Sleeper had awakened.
The greatest problem rests in you
letting the Sample take part in battle!
Code Number 2805,
when a problem arises,
it is obvious that the obligation of
the soldier is to make contact, yes?
It was thought there was some
kind of accident in the relay facilities.
By my judgement at the phase
where communications were cut off,
I recognized that things
were now up to the platoon.
In which case,
it's clear that the
ultimate orders
were handed down by
Platoon Leader Robert, right?
No, in battle at the spaceport,
Robert became injured,
and there was concern that
it would interfere with his duty,
so he withdrew from
leadership of the platoon.
Oh? Then there was someone who
could fulfill the brilliant Robert's duties
in place of him, was
there? Who was that?
Myself.
You should have known that the matter
of highest priority in regards to your duty
rested in the recovery of
Sleepers and their prompt transport.
Yes.
So then, how is it that you
made the reckless decision
to allow the precious
Sample to endanger his life?
That would be...
Answer her.
This matter could be construed
as a violation of military protocol.
The biggest reason was our shortage
in the absolute number of pilots.
It would be impossible for us to
overcome the land overrun by Blue
having lost an Armor Shrike.
That's no reason! Your military
training is to that end, isn't it!?
Every contingency is
provided for in the manual!
Now, we cannot help but question
your responsibility to
carrying out your duty!
Let's change the intent
of the question a bit.
Having the Sleeper in the Armor Shrike -
is that something you yourself suggested?
As I remember, he
volunteered himself.
The Sample did?
Absurd! Such a
situation is unanticipated!
Could being activated due to
his early awakening be the cause?
I knew we should
have discarded Samples
that were awakened as
a result of an accident!
However, the recovery rate of
Samples was far lower than estimated!
We can't complain about their
condition at the time they are recovered!
That's outcome-based thinking!
We do not want any accidents
during their original state!
Your opinions are
all understandable.
However, right now,
based on these results,
I wonder if we shouldn't investigate
the handling of Samples from here on.
It's obvious! We should
move ahead to the next step.
That should be fine.
I hear his condition
is still serious.
We can't afford to just wait
until the Sample recovers!
The conditions of
preservation for the Sample
should be unrelated
to the next step.
As far as that is concerned,
I have no objection.
In that case, let us
immediately start preparing...
How is Yuji?
Is Yuji all right?
Ever since we arrived on the station,
I have not received any information.
How is he now?
Yuji? You mean the
Sample that you recovered?
His becoming injured was my
own fault. His progress concerns me.
It is of no matter to you.
B- but...
The inquiry is concluded!
As a result of this inquiry, you
have been judged to be unfit...
for squad duty.
Starting tomorrow,
you will transfer to the drill facility
and be re-educated from lesson 1!
And here we'd at
long last arrived...
Yuji...
"Yuji," huh? Do not take your
eye off of 2805 for a while, please.
I... I... I want to go
into space with you!
It is of no matter to you.
This is transport shuttle C-2...
Beginning preparations
to dock at Medical Station...
Yuji...
Code Number 2805,
this is not your destination.
Return to your seat.
My involvement in
drilling starts tomorrow.
I have the right to a final
check-up before the drills.
I was not directed to do this.
Just open the door.
- But...
- Open it!
Yuji...
Yuji!
You're alive! Yuji...
Thank goodness!
Them!
I wonder if we shouldn't investigate
the handling of Samples from now on.
We can't afford to just
wait until he recovers...
The conditions of
preservation for the Sample
should be unrelated
to the next step.
What are they planning to do to
Yuji? What's of no matter to me?
No! I'll prove it to
them my own way!
Yeah, that nothing
I did was wrong...
That what me... and Yuji...
...have done up to now...
The virtual simulation we are about
to hold is the same as real combat!
Those who drop out are to be
discarded without mercy! Understood!?
Code Number 426,
take pod number 3!
6945, take pod number 4...
3022, take pod number 5...
Same as real combat? Just
what I wanted! I'll show them!
My true abilities as a soldier!
All personnel, saddle up!
If they can see that there
is no fault in my ability,
that should prove to them...
...that the actions Yuji
and I took were correct!
2805! Your response was
too slow! What are you doing!?
Why are you hesitating
to fire instantly?
If you had fired while facing the
groundling cutting in front of the core,
you would have hit your target!
Your suit's upper left arm has
taken damage. 15-point minus.
Which is more important to you?
Groundlings, or your Armor Shrike?
Minus points? Me?
What the hell did the people
of Second Earth do to them!?
Marlene, what do you think
the people here are, anyhow?
They aren't your
tools, you know!
The people left on
Earth are already dead...
is that really true,
after all, Marlene!?
You damned fool!
Look out!
Hey, behind you!
This isn't good! Hurry!
Stay with me! Are you okay?
Wasn't this just
supposed to be a drill!?
I told you, this was the
same as real combat!
2805, he has lost the capacity to fight.
Move on to your next action immediately!
Let's go!
2805!
Hey, 2805! Are
you listening to me!?
What do you think?
What are you doing, come on now!
Do you think in this situation you can
fight off the Blue's attacks indefinitely!?
Give up on him immediately!
Hurry on forward!
If you do not achieve your
goal within the appointed time,
you too will be disqualified!
No, this is fine. It's the people
above me who don't understand!
This is the way that I survived
through that hell, together with Yuji!
And yet... Dammit!
Incredible,
at this pace, it's possible
she can make the goal in time!
Do it.
B- but...
The drills are not a game!
It is critical for them
to perform their duties
as quickly and as
thoroughly as possible!
I want her to realize
that. Do it now!
Yes, ma'am!
What!?
See to them.
This is Amick Hendar.
Yes... Today's data on 2805... I will
collect it and submit it within the day...
So, I've returned to the
Medical Station again, have I?
How hectic...
I'm sure it was...
Yuji...
It can't be... why...?
Yuji!

Something is starting to happen,
in a place I do not know of.
Once my duty is over, it is of no
matter to me. I understand that.
However, I can't live like this.
I traveled with Yuji, I
reached this place with Yuji.
And now, I want to know
where Yuji is. That's all I want!
