The light's uncertainty resembled...
the purpose of my journey as I headed for my hometown.
Does the "something" I'm searching for exist in Mosk?
What is that "something"?
Now that even my food has run out, the only thing awaiting me is...
a lonely death.
All alone...
except for...
Vince!
Something is shining over there!
Maybe it's those playing card soldiers!
That's from the picture book.
I wasrt alone. I had a companion.
An infected AutoReiv.
The light!
What?
A tower?
If we hide in the shadows, we can avoid the aerial attack.
From our present location...
that's 558 units along the X-axis and 832 units along the Y-axis.
I don't need directions, give me a hand!
AutoReivs?
Pino!
Don't move!
Yes.
Have the Mosquito search for the enemy.
Light Beam
Hey, does it taste good?
So this domed city's up ahead from here?
It's called Romdo.
Are you the playing card soldiers?
What is it?
We saw the shining light. That's why we came.
Shining light?
It's the same nonsense that woman was talking about.
Could it be from that legend about the monster sleeping underground?
It's just a legend. It doesn't mean anything.
Why are you fighting the AutoReivs?
The reason?
That sort of uncertainty is fatal on the battlefield.
I don't understand.
Is it true that once they're infected with that virus, they develop a soul?
I'm sorry.
That's enough already.
But, I...
We're just travelers.
I thank you for all your help, including the food.
You certainly did eat. I believe you.
I'm Vincent...
Vincent Law.
Lieutenant Omacatl.
This is Commander Patecatl.
By the way, about the sailboat...
You mean "The Centzon?"
What's its power source? Lts average cruising speed and range?
I don't know it well enough to tell you that.
I don't know either.
Don't worry.
Our people are already in the process of retrieving it.
You can leave the repairs to us as well.
You've taken care of everything.
You can pay us back by lending us a hand.
Use this to fight.
But, um...
No sign of the enemy around Charos.
I see. Damage report.
A total of 9 confirmed deaths from platoons Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
All told, our battalion currently has 43 people.
Shall I instruct them to increase production?
There's no need to use precious energy for new recruits before a war of attrition.
Roger.
Everyone, stop what you're doing and listen.
First, I have some unfortunate news to report.
We lost 9 of our men in the previous battle.
However, that is no reason to be daunted.
There's only one thing our enemy is after.
Our production source, located in the center of our fortress...
the artificial womb.
If they try to come at us in numbers with a single objective...
we can read their pattern of attack.
As soon as the sailboat is repaired...
commence servicing and re-outfitting as an armored ship.
There's no need to hold back in waging war.
Its mobility and fuel efficiency will come in handy on the battlefield.
We humans must win.
Assuming you're human too, I'm sure you understand, Vincent.
I think I'm in trouble.
Excuse me, where's the bathroom?
Sorry...
This is B4 asking for permission to land.
I'm pathetic...
Vince?
I must have eaten too quickly and my stomach wasrt able to handle it.
But I'm all right now.
All right. All right.
For some reason, I feel closer...
to this AutoReiv with a mind of its own.
It didn't feel like this when we were traveling on the ship.
All I'd wanted was to meet someone.
Something's strange.
The people here, something is strange about them.
Yeah.
Once the ship is repaired, we should look for a chance to escape.
At long last, I finally managed to reach Charos...
but I don't belong here either.
Pino?
What's the matter?
There was something shining.
Again? There's nothing there.
It was twinkling.
Let's go!
I'm coming.
A sailboat, huh?
I've never seen this type before.
It'll be nice not having to worry about the power source.
Considering the Mosquito's flight range...
we sure could use this thing.
Hey?
Please, tell me, what the heck's going on?
Who else is there besides you?
Asurans don't kill this way.
It looks like whoever did this enjoys killing people.
But why would I?!
In that case, that AutoReiv.
That's ridiculous.
One thing is for certain.
This didn't happen until you came.
Wait! It wasrt me!
Not again...
I bring death to everyone.
All that concerns me runs with blood.
Everyone dies.
Re-I.
What do you think about them?
That stuff about the light...
The woman talked about the same sort of thing.
You mean about the light from the moon which we can't even see?
Such nonsense is...
In any case, if we don't have any further incidents after this...
Commander, the Asuran army...
Bit by bit, it can be seen.
Bit by bit, it can be heard.
Bit by bit, it grows stronger.
Here, there, and everywhere.
The end of the throbbing.
The master finally comes...
along with the moonlight that haunts the darkness.
Taking his time as he comes.
Bit by bit...
Bit by bit. Bit by bit. Bit by bit. Bit by bit...
Maybe...
without me even knowing it...
inside me... something is...
This feeling.
I can hear the pulse of the awakening.
Along with the moonlight that haunts the darkness.
It will certainly provide us with time.
The pulse of the awakening.
The end of the throbbing.
The master finally comes by moonlight.
Vince?
No... help me...
I don't want to change into...
what...
something...
anything...
No!
We've failed to stop the encroachment at Area 32.
Asuran troops number almost 30 at the platoon level.
They're now advancing towards Area 15.
Are they going after the Mosquito?
All personnel to first battle stations! Defend the Mosquito at all cost.
And I want two platoons deployed around the artificial womb.
Send the rest to the heliport.
No... please don't...
Commander...
Asuran detached forces have infiltrated the underground facility.
Right now they're...
It was over before it started.
You're going to escape by yourself?!
We can't all ride in it anyway.
And we can't rebuild our unit, not without the artificial womb.
Shit.
Get us outta here!
It's what that woman was talking about.
Just like the legend said!
Direct hit! You bastard!
Come on! Go!
Wait!
Hey...
Senex...
agent of the moonlight.
The throbbing of war is playing.
It is the melody announcing the birth of a new world.
The master comes...
along with the moonlight that haunts the darkness.
It's beautiful.
After the battle...
it will grant absolute death to our world.
Who are you?
97 rabbits.
98 rabbits.
99 rabbits.
100 rabbits!
All right, I've counted to 100, so I'm leaving Vince now!
Shards of Brilliance All right, I've counted to 100, so I'm leaving Vince now!
