[gasping] - Hello.

This is Tower System Services.

We apologize for the inconvenience,

but access to the facility is not permitted at this time.

- They're toying with us.

- An access authorization key is required to enter the tower.

- [gasping]

- Though we're unable to see you currently,

we look forward to serving you again in the near future.

- Huh?

Operator, why...

- Operator model 21O volunteered to undergo

equipment transition to combat model type B during

the last operation.

She was sent to the front lines as unit 21B

and reported MIA four hours later.

- No way.

[gasps] - [groans]

- Operator!

- [groaning]

Stay back! - Alert.

Excessive contact risks danger of infection.

- Hey, Pod!

How bad is her corruption? - [grunting]

[shouting]

- Confirmed reactivation of several infected YoRHa units.

Proposal. Immediate retreat.

- [gasps]

- Run away! Hurry!

- I can't just leave you behind! Come on!

We can get through this mess together!

- All I wanted...

- Operator 21O to 9S. Do you copy?

- I can hear ya. You're loud and clear.

- A "yes" would suffice. - Yes.

- I ask you distance yourself from the operation area

during combat.

- But then I won't be able to assist you.

- Unfortunately, scanner models like yourself

aren't designed for battle. - Oh?

So then you're just worried about me?

- No. To put it simply,

you'd be a liability on the battlefield.

All I wanted was a family to try and protect.

9S, you were...

They have ceased activity. - [gasps]

That means...

Operator!

No. Why?

Pod, quick! Administer first aid and--

[gasps]

Operator, please.

[gasping]

- Before I got infected,

I surveyed this tower.

So my last assignment as operator has been to--

- Don't you get that that doesn't matter anymore?

- Received information from 21O.

- Do your best.

- [sniffles]

Okay.

- I have one acknowledgment.

You're such a good boy.

- [wincing]

[bird wings flapping]

[robot children shouting]

- Bathroom! Bathroom!

- Big sis! Bathroom!

all: Bathroom! Bathroom! Bathroom! Bathroom! Bathroom!

- Just shut up!

You're not able to go to the bathroom!

all: Bathroom! Bathroom! - [shudders]

[groaning]

Fine! Just stop yelling! Which way is the bathroom?

all: That way! That way!

- Ooh, you guys just like causing me trouble!

Cut it out or I'll--

- Aww, what a charming sight!

- Hey, would you quit standing around

and help me out over here?

- It seems like they've warmed up to you, Miss A2!

- Like I care about that right now!

What matters are the materials I ordered!

- I'm getting them ready as we speak.

I just need you to watch the children for a while.

- [gasps] - Pee-pee! Pee-pee!

- Don't worry, little one.

Big sis A2 will take you to the bathroom!

- Says who? [all speaking at once]

- [snarls] Damn!

Curse you, Lily.

Huh? But why me?

- You're just picking up materials.

- You can send anyone on an errand like that.

- I don't have enough manpower right now.

- But why does it have to be me, though?

- Well, that filter was a precious commodity

and since we used it to rescue a certain someone,

we don't have nearly enough materials anymore.

Too bad. It leaves us in a pickle.

- [snarls]

- [chuckles]

You've got this, Number 2.

- Goodness, you've become a monster.

- [chuckles]

I think I've just become an adult.

- Make-believe bathroom was fun. - Thank you!

- So much fun!

- Thank you for your hard work, miss A2.

- Poo-poo!

- I guess I should get going now.

- [grunts]

- Oh? Is something wrong?

- Poop.

- Huh? You can just go, can't you?

- [snarls]

- I'm only kidding.

Come on now, little one.

Uncle Pascal will take you to the bathroom.

- Hey.

Where are those materials?

- Oh, they've been long since ready.

Feel free to take them at any point.

- Poo-poo!

- Okay, I see now.

You did this so I would play with the children.

- A machine lifeform like me would never do something

so mischievous like that! - Damn you!

- Alert. Multiple hostile enemy lifeforms detected.

Heading to our current location of Pascal's Village.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- I don't understand it.

♪ ♪

[grunts]

Why am I doing this?

There's no meaning anymore.

- Report.

We require unlocking three sub-units

to access the main tower unit.

Upon further analysis of information received

from unit 21O,

sub-units are responsible for transporting resources

to the main tower unit. - And if we break them,

we can annihilate all of the machine lifeforms at once?

- Hypothesis.

That tower is the sole entity currently coordinating

the machine lifeforms.

- Where is the closest sub-unit from here?

- 2.7 kilometers from current point.

- Start navigating the shortest route.

- Hostile machine lifeforms are headed towards our village?

Why is that?

- Poo-poo? - Don't worry.

We'll be just fine.

Now go play with your friends for a little bit.

- Poo-poo! Poo-poo!

- Are we sure that information is accurate?

- Who can tell? You positive?

- Report. The possibility of false information

is quite low.

Tactical support units such as myself

are programmed to set up countless surveillance terminas

in each area outside

of our support target's location.

Pods are then able to share the information captured

with each other through a network communication system.

- And about how many of you are out there?

- 3,313 units are in operation nearby.

- I guess that info's pretty accurate.

[all speaking at once]

[scoffs]

Hey, Pascal!

He bailed.

Dammit!

[gasps]

- Are you hurting somewhere? - You hurt?

- Repair? - Can't play?

- Report. Hostile machine lifeform group

is moving farther forward. - [grunts]

No matter what they're after,

anyone who stands in my way will be--

[all shouting]

- What's the matter?

[gasps]

[all shouting]

What are you scared of?

This thing? [all shouting]

Calm down!

I'm using it to protect you, not hurt you!

- Calm down, children! She's telling the truth!

She's only going to use it against our enemies!

- Pascal, are you--

all: To protect?

- And these...

Are also going to help protect you!

Do you understand?

all: Understood!

[all speaking at once]

- [grunts]

- If it means keeping the children safe, I'll fight!

all: Kill, kill, kill, kill... - [grunts]

[seagulls cawing]

- Report. Arrived at structure referred to as sub-unit.

[steam hisses]

- This big thing is the sub-unit, huh?

[gasps]

- Hello, visitor.

This structure is the resource recovery unit.

Allow us to disarm the security measures for you.

Now anyone can safely enter without fear of enduring harm.

- What's the meaning of this?

[clangs]

I'll break you apart.

What's that?

- It's a special ancient language known as Angelic.

- What does the writing say?

- The following letters read, "Meat box."

Details of this message are unknown at this time.

- An elevator?

Their actions never have meaning.

And never did.

- Report. Multiple machine lifeform signals detected

within the structure.

However, unable to determine hostility.

[clangs]

- What's up with this place.

Is it entirely made up of machines?

- Analysis.

Many useless parts unrelated

to machine lifeform functionality detected.

The reason for using said parts remains unknown.

- Hmm?

- Confirmed. The machine lifeforms within this unit

are in sleep mode. - Sleep?

[grunts]

Why are they so carefree, they're asleep?

Bastards!

Die!

- [groaning]

- [gasps]

- This is...

[all speaking at once]

- Status?

- The numbers were immense.

I'm not sure if our equipment is going to be enough

to hold them back.

We need more firepower.

I can get it ready but I need you

to watch over everyone while I'm busy doing that.

- [scoffs]

Hurry up.

- Oh, I can't thank you enough!

I'll be back as soon as possible!

- You hear that?

I'm taking over here until Pascal returns.

Everyone follow your assignments and we'll be fine!

[all shouting]

Pascal, we need you.

- Stop. Please stop.

[shouting]

- Please don't kill me.

[clangs]

So--so much pain.

- Machines can't feel pain.

- Ah. Please. Please.

- No hostile signals detected among the enemy.

[door opens] [gasps]

- Android, why do you fight that which surrenders to you?

You struck down our king without remorse or hesitation.

Even so, I do not seek revenge for what you did to him.

All I want is a conversation with Android--

- Die.

- Help me. Please.

Help me. I'm scared.

Help me. I'm scared.

- You really think begging for your life

is enough to save you right now?

Converge energy.

Close range mode.

Maximum output.

- 9S-- - Fire.

[booming] - Help me.

[booming]

- Information received from core.

Obtained pass code that reads, "My sin."

- Congratulations on obtaining one of our pass codes.

If you manage to collect all three of them,

you will be invited to the tower.

We hope to see you there soon.

- You're messing with me now.

But not for long.

- You're a coward.

- Huh?

- You're not capable of saving anyone.

You're not capable of protecting anyone.

Isn't that right?

You're not even capable of killing me. How sad.

You're nothing but a worthless coward.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. - Shut up!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

[winces]

Just shut up.

Oh, miss Devola. Miss Popola.

It slices through machine lifeforms easily.
