Yuji learns the horrible truth about the Blue. Marlene and the Sleeper Recovery Team have been given orders to get Yuji to space station Second Earth alive.

for you to go on living.
You keep yourself on edge like that
for too long and you'll ruin your health.
I guess they describe it as making
any sign that you're still alive disappear.
The way how, without noticing it, you
don't even realize how you usually are.
Aren't you... the plucky one?
Here.
Eat it now. Once they come
on out, it'll be too late for regrets.
So when exactly did
all this come about?
Well, let's see...
It's been like this for as long
as I can remember, anyhow.
I believe they first appeared
about 15 years or so ago.
Keith!
Well, where's the harm?
He can't help that
he's just woken up!
Let's at least tell
him that much!
We have not received
any instructions to do so.
Now hurry and
relieve Minnie at sentry.
Hell, the operation doesn't go as
planned, and the elites get all snippy.
Right, right.
Yes, ma'am
Operation?
The plan was really for us to recover
everyone while you were all still sleeping.
But the Blue around the
installation suddenly became active...
A zero harvest would have gotten
even us abandoned by those over us.
We were lucky to have
gotten even one of you.
Lucky?
Huh?
Lucky, you say?
Getting woken up out of the blue,
not realizing what has happening?
Nearly getting killed, without
even knowing what was going on!?
That's what you
call lucky!? Why!?
When the hell did I ever
ask to be awakened!?
Given this situation, don't you
think I'd have rather slept through it?
Is this you guys' idea of
helping me out? Well!?
Stop yelling. They'll find us.
So what if they do!?
How can you be so
calm about all this?
How can you understand how it feels
for me to have been awakened all alone?
The first time the existence of the Blue was
confirmed was in 2017 by the western calendar.
Fourteen years ago now.
At first, it was thought that they were a
biological weapon that some country had developed.
But they were different.
Their very ecology utterly shattered all
conceptions held about biology up to that point.
They fed not only
on organic matter,
but inorganic matter as well,
converting it to functional energy.
In an era when material
civilization was at its peak,
this world must have been an
optimal feeding ground for them.
It was a simple matter for them to
turn the Earth into a planet of death,
almost in the blink of an eye.
I suppose to them, humans must
have been tantamount to insects,
crawling over what
they were feeding on.
Since humans amounted to only a
meager source of energy for them,
they wrap us up like
dumplings, like that,
and feed on us once they've
assembled a large enough number.
But the Blue do more
than just multiply.
After each time we humans attack them, they
evolve over and over to protect themselves.
The battle has
become prolonged...
Gradually, as people started
running out of places to run,
we fled the world the Blue had turned into
their nesting grounds and escaped into space.
To space?
Up beyond the sky, above our orbiting satellites,
is a space station named "Second Earth."
Team Gran Seil, Access Code
FE-2035-C. Operation name "Cytokine"
Collating recovered sample.
Kaido Yuji, E-D carrier.
Began Sleep treatment at National
Immunity Laboratories in 2009.
Further, due to
increased Blue activity,
excepting Kaido Yuji, the facility's
entire Sleeper population was lost.
Request instructions concerning
rendezvous point with recovery vehicle.
Our location is JP E-204.
There are seven in our party.
Standard platoon outfitting.
The surviving humans organized themselves
into combat units to resist the Blue.
The higher command began
research on how to exterminate the Blue.
And in 2031, Second Earth finally
began operations to take back the Earth.
And you're saying that
saving me is part of all this?
Saving you? You just happen to be one
of the samples we recovered by chance.
You've got it all backward.
Sam... ple?
Our duty now is to wait for
a recovery vehicle to arrive,
then return via spaceport
to the space station.
Have you heard quite enough yet?
Quite enough? By
chance, you say?
How can that be? How did
an order like that come down?
Why is it necessary for you to take an
ordinary guy like myself into space with you?
That has nothing to do
with my duty. I don't care.
You've gone too far!
I went to sleep in
order to cure my illness.
Why couldn't you
just leave me be!?
If I'd known this is how
it would turn out, I... I...
...you would have rather died?
They're coming!
If you want to die,
I won't stop you.
But my job is to get
you back to the station.
Until then, you'll have
to stay alive on me.
System Check?
We'll have to take our chances.
Still...
It's been 22 years
that I've slept.
It's an age where normally, it wouldn't be
unusual if my mom or dad were still alive.
Nah. But knowing him?
Even now, he's sure
to be off somewhere...
Why this airport in particular?
Up to now, there's been no confirmation
that there are any seagoing Blue.
At sea,
...all we have to worry about
are Blue attacking from the air.
There's no time.
Stuff the cargo
carrier in as-is!
What are we, luggage too?
What's that?
Sleepers that have been
recovered from other areas.
There were a number of similar
facilities all over Japan, after all.
Hey, stop the car!
Now!
Wait! Where are you going!?
I'm not the only one! I wasn't the
only one who was brought here after all!
Go!
What?
W- what!?
Impossible!
A Blue!?
Shit!
What the hell's going on!?
Oh no! Malcolm,
hurry to the trailer!
How are they
coming from the sea!?
Damn him!
What are you waiting for!?
Yeah! I've got to
wake everyone up!
What the hell are you
dinking around for!?
The trailer's lurching around so
much, I can't get us out of here!
Wake up! Wake
up, I say! Wake up!
Hey! Hurry up, or
you'll all be dead!
What are you
doing!? Get over here!
No way! I've had enough of
being alone in this kind of place!
Please...
...I don't care
who, just wake up!
I'm telling you it's hopeless.
We can't resuscitate them here.
Come on!
Dammit! Why's
this taking so long?
Joey! Get us closer to it!
If we can't shoot it, we can use the arms
on this thing to smash its thorax directly!
You've gotta be kidding!
Never mind, just do it!
Of all the...!
Get in!
Hey! W-wait a minute!
It can't... It can't be...
How can it be!? They came
through an underwater pipe!
...Keith...
If I'd known this, maybe I
would have rather died...
But... I wouldn't want to get
killed without a fight! Not to them!

No way!
There's no way I'm going to get myself
killed by one of those bug-like things,
not while I'm unable
to do anything about it!
I'm not going to
just be baggage!
I won't beg for help, or be
treated like a baby any longer!
And so... I will fight!
So please, tell me what
I need to know to live!
