Zegapain >23.When the Moon Does Not Sink

Fosetta: Our portside field generator has been hit!
Dao-Yu: We're firing too slowly.
Dao-Yu: Come on, let them have it.
Lemures: T-plus 5 minutes since the operation entered phase two.
Tarbo: All diversionary units are currently attacking the giant deutera zone Sabato.
Dita: Mission resource consumption now at 18 percent.
Dita: Losses at 6 percent!
Dao-Yu: How's the Oceanus doing?
Tarbo: They're 20 seconds behind schedule,
Tarbo: within tolerable deviation.
Ricerca: Enemy formation detected at 1 o'clock!
Ricerca: They'll intercept the Oceanus in 90 seconds!
Dao-Yu: Starboard, 30 degrees.
Dao-Yu: Prepare the G.A.S.P.R. Cannon for firing.
Tarbo: We'll never hit them at this range!
Dao-Yu: Doesn't matter!
Dao-Yu: It'll piss them off so they'll engage us instead.
Dao-Yu: Fire!
Dita: Enemy formation has changed course.
Dita: They appear to be attacking the Cagayan.
Minato: Maintain this heading
Minato: and current speed.
Kuroshio: This is a change.
Kuroshio: For once we're not stuck playing the decoy.
Fosetta: 300 seconds to contact with the Arctic core server deutera zone.
Minato: Where's the Altair?
Dita: It's currently recharging its Q.L.
May-Yen: Commander...
A.I.: Q.L. charging, complete.
Kyo: All right!
Kyo: Now we can bust on it and kick some ass!
Kaminagi: Kyo...
Kyo: Kaminagi...
Kyo: What's wrong?
Kaminagi: Nothing, I guess...
Kaminagi: I just feel so...
Kaminagi: Kyo...
Kyo: Next time we touch,
Kyo: we'll both be flesh and blood again.
Kyo: That's why we gotta make sure this operation is a success!
Kaminagi: We'll be real...
Kaminagi: And best of all...
Kaminagi: we'll be together...
Fosetta: 120 seconds until we'll reach Sabato!
Minato: It's gigantic.
A.I.: Final adjustments have been completed.
Lu-Shen: Almost time to go.
May-Yu: Mm.
Chris: So,
Chris: do you think we're gonna end this today?
Shizuno: I do.
Shizuno: And once it's finished, so am I.
Fosetta: The fleet has advanced in accordance with the plan.
Fosetta: One minute remaining until contact with Sabato.
Minato: Prepare the Ezaki Perforator, now!
Dita: The isolation field has been successfully phase-synched.
Dita: Now passing through force field.
Kuroshio: The Anti-Zega's stolen data was right on the money.
Minato: Penetrating the force field!
Minato: All hands, brace for impact!
Dita: Perforator engaged.
Kuroshio: We made it!
Ricerca: Radar: on-line!
Ricerca: Enemy units, everywhere!
Minato: All Zegapains, engage!
Kyo: ENTANGLE!
A.I.: Unidades enemigas, rodeándonos.
Chris: Get a load of that.
Chris: They sure rolled out the red carpet.
Shizuno: I think we should show them exactly how thankful we are.
Kyo: Thanks Gardsorm, you shouldn't have!
May-Yen: Three units to our right and two to our left!
May-Yu: There's less firepower on our left.
Lu-Shen: I just can't decide.
Minato: Our only objective is the quantum portal!
Minato: Limit your attack to the enemies blocking our way!
Minato: Ignore the others!
Tarbo: All carriers have successfully infiltrated the deutera zone.
Isola: All right!
Isola: That will be our cue to head into orbit
Isola: and take out the enemy space station Cloud.
Isola: It's up to you now, Oceanus.
Insel: Where's the Oceanus?!
Ricerca: It'll be arriving at the core server any minute now!
Dita: Enemy quantum weapons are on radar.
Dita: Antiaircraft cannons!
Insel: Move to support the Oceanus!
Fosetta: Commander, the Deukalion has fallen behind the fleet.
Insel: What's happening?
Insel: My God!
Insel: The Anti-Zega Coatlicue!
Abyss: Fools.
Abyss: Their last-ditch effort is pitiful...
Abyss: Huh? Have you truly become that desperate, lightless ones?!
Abyss: Where is Yehl's Zegapain?
Sin: She's headed towards the Castle Where Light is Born.
Abyss: Kyo Sogoru is the foe I've come to defeat.
Sin: And I want to see Ryoko Kaminagi again!
Insel: All portside turrets, fire!
Abyss: Submit, insects.
Dao-Yu: This ends here.
Dao-Yu: Route all of our Q.L. to the antiaircraft cannons now!
Kuroshio: It's already started?!
Fosetta: Now entering firing range of enemy antiair guns!
Lemures: The stolen data shows area J-18 has an underground Q.L. reactor.
Lemures: It's keeping the enemy supplied.
Minato: Take it out, damn it!
Minato: Fire on area J-18 when ready.
Ricerca: Deep impact bunker busters: ready, fire!
Dita: The Q.L. reactor's no longer on-line.
Tarbo: That should take the wind out of their sails.
Minato: Zegapains!
Minato: Commence the attack!
A.I.: Aircraft countermeasures, directly ahead.
Kyo: What happened to taking the damn wind out of their sails?!
Tarbo: They're using auxiliary generators to power the defenses.
Kyo: Now you tell me!
May-Yen: Commander!
Shima: The mission...
Shima: How's it coming?
Chris: Which one?!
Shizuno: Range, twelve hundred at 10 o'clock!
Shizuno: Through the wall to the left, there!
Chris: Roger!
Chris: They're all...
Chris: Abyss and Sin!
Chris: This is their immortality?!
Chris: You're nothing more than doles in your boxes!
Chris: Time you knew what it meant to die forever!
A.I.: Quantum portal, detected.
May-Yu: It's straight ahead, twelve o'clock!
Lu-Shen: There it is.
Lu-Shen: I see it!
Minato: They're after the portal. Rendezvous with them!
Kyo: Let's go!
Chris: Roger that!
Kyo: Check it out.
Kyo: The quantum portal.
Lu-Shen: The doorway to G-Phaetus!
A.I.: No armas enemigas detectadas en esta zona.
Shizuno: The moon...
Shizuno: back I go.
Sin: Why don't they run while they still can?
Sin: Now I understand their scheme!
Sin: Their real target is G-Phaetus!
Abyss: They intend to go to the moon?
Minato: Activate quantum portal!
Dita: Initiating transmission sequence!
Kyo: Using the Gardsorm quantum portal means...
Chris: It means we'll be transporting right into the lion's den up there.
Chris: Keep your wits about you, everyone.
Shizuno: Ryoko,
Shizuno: this will be your first time fighting in low gravity.
Shizuno: Be ready for the increased speed.
Kaminagi: Right.
Kaminagi: Thanks a lot, Shizuno.
May-Yu: Hey,
May-Yu: just stick with Lu-shen and me and you'll be a-ok.
Kaminagi: Sounds good.
Kaminagi: Thanks, May-yen.
May-Yu: I bet you call me that on purpose, don't you?!
Kaminagi: Huh?
Kaminagi: What's everyone laughing about?
Tarbo: Materialization probability flux, stabilized.
Dita: Our ship has been synchronized with the Gardsorm quantum portal.
Lemures: Oceanus, transmit.
Minato: Humph,ENTANGLE!
Ricerca: The Anti-Zega is heading right for us.
Fosetta: They seem to have figured out the objective.
Insel: Never mind, just hit them!
Dao-Yu: We'll hold them off, or die trying!
Abyss: If I die, I win.
Dao-Yu: Impossible. A suicide attack!
Abyss: We cannot be stopped.
Sin: Abyss!
Kyo: Where are we?
Kyo: What happened to us?
Kaminagi: Kyo, up there, look!
Kyo: The Earth...
Kyo: Which means...
Kyo: The portal worked.
Kyo: We're on the moon.
Minato: So this is...
Minato: G-Phaetus.
Kyo: Why do I feel...
Kyo: I've been up here before?
Shizuno: Kyo!
Shizuno: You have to focus.
Shizuno: We're on a mission!
Chris: Incoming!
A.I.: Transfiendo controles a Gunner.
Chris: I'll take care of them myself.
May-Yu: Hazonmeyers!
Lu-Shen: They're a nuisance up here, as well?
Lu-Shen: We'll have none of that!
Chris: Easy as pie.
Shizuno: Looks like the Gardsorm never expected G-Phaetus to be attacked from within.
Shizuno: Seems like we gambled big and won.
Minato: Mission phase three!
Minato: We establish contact with Shima's original!
Kuroshio: That's great! But how?!
Minato: The commander will show us himself.
Minato: Commander Shima!
Shima: Follow the shaft down to the very bottom and you'll find the server room.
Shima: A large number of servers are stored there.
Shima: One of the servers in there...
Shima: is under my original's control, his haven if you will.
Shima: Minato.
Minato: Yes, Sir?
Shima: Hail Kyo. I've something to tell him.
Shima: Kyo.
Shima: I've made your life more difficult in just about every way possible
Shima: and I'm sorry.
Kyo: Ah, stop.
Kyo: You act too nice and folks will think you're about to die.
Shima: Ha...
Shima: You see, the ends justify the means so I did what I had to.
Shima: You know that, right?
Kyo: Oh, come on!
Kyo: You don't get to act all reasonable, and then keel over dead, okay?!
Kyo: If you die,
Kyo: I'll steal your pants and take a marker to your face!
Minato: Kyo!
Shima: Why couldn't you have brought that spirit to your school activities too?
Shima: I've been working on research into meta-body resurrection for some time.
Shima: So use my body as your guinea pig.
Shima: If all of my calculations are correct,
Shima: then Minato...
Shima: your missing data could be repaired, too.
Minato: Shima...
Shima: Go. Find the man from whom I was cloned.
Shima: Do that and the path will be open to you.
Ricerca: Enemy detected, right above us!
Chris: Bastard!
Kyo: An Anti-Zega?!
May-Yu: Is that a new model?
Lu-Shen: Abyss and Sin?!
Shizuno: How can they be here?!
Ricerca: Detecting Q.L. reserves superior to those of the Coatlicue!
Tarbo: Now designating new unit as Anti-Zega Mindi!
Dita: Mindi is increasing its output!
Shima: Minato.
Shima: Hurry.
Minato: Dive! Full speed!
Abyss: You pathetic lightless ones!
Kaminagi: Kyo, it's so strong.
A.I.: Low reserves of armor Q.L...
May-Yu: He knew where we'd dodge to?!
Chris: Those gaps in his light armor! Aim for 'em!
Shizuno: Density distribution scan! Sniping mode!
Kyo: Don't get a big head just 'cuz you're new!
Kaminagi: This place...
Kaminagi: What is it?
Kyo: This is it.
Kyo: The server room...
A.I.: Mindi approaching!
Kyo: These bastards really want to fight us in their own backyard?!
Kaminagi: Kyo, we're running out of Q.L.!
Kaminagi: What now?
Kyo: It's too soon!
Kaminagi: Yeah, I know!
Kaminagi: But we're out!
A.I.: Return limit reached.
May-Yu: Lu-shen!
Lu-Shen: Returning to base!
Kyo: Kaminagi, we're headed back!
Kaminagi: Entangle, time out!
Kyo: Lu-shen!
A.I.: Entangle, time out.
Chris: They both disappeared?!
Chris: Just what the hell is going on?!
Shizuno: Kyo!
Kurashige': So you see,
Kurashige': while an outside observer can always perceive the quantum state of consciousness,
Kyo: Where's the Anti-Zega?
Kyo: Where's Kaminagi?!
Kurashige': it is impossible for any outsider to extract that as data.
Kurashige': Anyone but the Gardsorm, of course.
Kurashige': Come on now, Kyo.
Kurashige': Listen up!
Kyo: Kurage!
Mizusawa': Or maybe,
Mizusawa': this one's more to your liking.
Kyo: Omizu!
Shizuno': Or maybe this one. I know that you're partial to her.
Lu-Shen: Kyo!
Kyo: Lu-shen!
Lu-Shen: I think that we're inside the enemy quantum server.
Kyo: What?!
May-Yu: The Zegas were transported in along with us?
Kaminagi: But wait, is that even possible?
Shizuno': Don't get so bent out of shape, my guests.
Kyo': I was hoping maybe we could have a chat.
Lu-Shen: You are Naga, are you not?
Kyo: That's him?!
Kyo': Congratulations. You're both right and wrong.
Kyo': Naga no longer exists as anything so petty as one person.
Lu-Shen: What?!
Mizusawa': Naga merged himself with the dataspace of the quantum server network many years ago.
Mizusawa': Naga's consciousness endured even within your servers once upon a time.
Mizusawa': You could say there's a bit of Naga in each of us.
Mizusawa': What you see before you is merely an interface allowing us to talk.
Kyo: Can the techno babble!
Kyo: You're the supreme commander of the Gardsorm, aren't you?
Shizuno': Not quite,
Shizuno': but if it helps you think of me that way,
Shizuno': go ahead.
Kyo: You destroyed mankind, asshole!
Kurashige': That's a matter of opinion.
Kurashige': My taking this form seems to cause you the least psychologically distress.
Kurashige': In the beginning, Naga created the quantum computer in pursuit of limitless knowledge.
Kurashige': And it was good.
Kurashige': Observe.
Kurashige': The image in front of you is taken from the moment of a star's death.
Kurashige': At the end of the star's life span, it explodes into a supernova.
Kurashige': The gases released will coalesce over the ages and form another star.
Kurashige': The life span of a star is billions of years.
Kurashige': And when you think about trying to observe, say, proton decay, for example,
Kurashige': that takes even longer.
Kurashige': That's why a meta-body is so convenient.
Kurashige': If you connect a server with a transmission device,
Kurashige': even interstellar travel is no longer out of the question.
May-Yu: Mm!
May-Yu: So, you turned the Earth into hell because it's better for your science projects?!
Kurashige': It's not hell.
Kurashige': It's Olympus.
Kurashige': Without our bodies of flesh,
Kurashige': wouldn't someone observing us from afar perceive that we newly immortal are no different from the gods themselves?
Kurashige': Flesh and blood humans are essentially quantum aggregations, right?
Kurashige': Even when you replace their flesh with quantum data,
Kurashige': the lives they live are no different than before.
Kurashige': Eternal perfection
Kurashige': and infinite order.
Kurashige': Within a controlled environment on an accelerated time line,
Kurashige': humanity's evolution can be limitless.
Lu-Shen: And all it cost was 7 billion lives and the history of the human race! Is that it, Naga?
Kurashige': Indeed,
Kurashige': and what harm is there in that?
Kurashige': As a new type of human
Kurashige': we will write a new history befitting our glory.
Kaminagi: What about all those people you killed?!
Kaminagi: Do you even begin to understand how much pain you caused to us all?!
Kurashige': On the subject of pain, I'm still a little fuzzy.
Kurashige': You see, my original creations were born without the ability to experience pain.
May-Yu: Ah!
Kurashige': It's time I gotta handle on it.
Kurashige': This incarnation I've chosen comes complete with nerve endings,
Kurashige': so I might as well give this "pain" thing a try.
Kaminagi: Ah!
Kurashige': I see.
Kurashige': This pain sensation is an effective danger signal.
Kurashige': It seems the introduction of this sends your latent self-preservation instinct into overdrive.
Kurashige': You oppose us in order to avoid feeling this "pain,"
Kurashige': don't you?
Kyo: Shut up!
Kyo: You're a damn fool.
Kurashige': Uh?
Kyo: She didn't mean physical pain.
Kyo: She meant the pain in our hearts.
Kyo: The city we cherish,
Kyo: the people we love,
Kyo: the memories we treasure,
Kyo: the pain in our hearts from losing them.
Kyo: I swear, I'll never forget it!
Kyo: And I won't let a guy like you erase it from me!
Kurashige': You misunderstand us.
Kurashige': We're pursuing human evolution,
Kurashige': not destruction.
Kurashige': Don't you understand?
Kurashige': We're offering you a choice.
Kyo: What?!
Kurashige': You Cerebrants are a hybrid
Kurashige': we didn't foresee in our crop, so to speak.
Kurashige': You came to an unanticipated fork in the road,
Kurashige': creating a new evolutionary pattern.
Kurashige': Join us.
Kurashige': We have so very much to offer you.
Kurashige': Not the least of which is the secret resurrection you so keenly desire.
Kurashige': Reconstruction.
Kurashige': The decision is yours to make.
Kurashige': What path do you choose?
Kaminagi: Kyo, don't...
Lu-Shen: Kyo, no!
Kyo: I don't know.
Kyo: Maybe accepting your offer would be wise.
Kyo: I'm not sure.
Kyo: But it feels wrong.
Kyo: Here in my fist,
Kyo: in the muscles and tendons of my arm,
Kyo: my soul is sick at the thought of it!
Kyo: I hate you with all of my being!
Kyo: I'd rather have my data torn apart than join the likes of you!
Kurashige': Torn apart.
Kurashige': That can be arranged!
Kyo: Huh?
Kyo: You thought we'd surrender to Naga?!
Kyo: How stupid are you?!
Kyo: I'll never give in!
Kyo: And you...
Kyo: I'll keep fighting you until I'm dead!
Lu-Shen: Resurrection has failed.
Lu-Shen: The Oceanus has gone silent.
Lu-Shen: Shima wanders endlessly.
Lu-Shen: And yet,
Lu-Shen: Kyo still struggles on.
Lu-Shen: In the end,
Lu-Shen: do I really live my life according to my feelings, just like him?
Lu-Shen: Kyo...
Lu-Shen: Spread the word of what you've seen!
Lu-Shen: Next time, on Zegapain:
Lu-Shen: A Droplet of Light.
Lu-Shen: My pain, never to be forgotten.
