NEXT SCENE Space - Around the low orbit ring - Ptolemaios - Briefing Room
-Lockon : That Boatman guy… Now he's contacting us directly.
-Hayato : What do you think? Does he want to help us?
-Sumeragi : Before I give my opinion, let me play the message he sent for you all.
-Boatman : Dear Celestial Being. My name is Boatman, though of course that's not my real name.
-Boatman : First, let me first apologize for my rudeness of sending just an audio message.
-Boatman : I require you're help, and if you give it I will give you something else in return.
-Boatman : This message is also being sent to your agent, Liu Mei.
-Boatman : If you are at all interested in what I have to say, let's talk face to face. Of course, it will still be via communications.
-Boatman : In addition to issuing you my request, I hope the fact I was able to contact you like this is an ample display of my abilities. I expect you to make wise decisions.
-Sumeragi : That was his full message.
-Allelujah : So have you contacted him?
-Sumeragi : Yeah… I just thought I'd talk to you first.
-Lockon : A man of mystery…
-Chris : I still can't believe they were able to send a direct transmission to Ptolemaios.
-Ryoma : This is crazy. Wasn't this ship supposed to be a secret?
-Musashi : Not only did they know where we were going, they sent us a transmission.
-Chris : That's why I'm surprised. There's only so many people who can reach us.
-Aoi : It was already amazing that the commander of Dragon's Hive could do it.
-Tieria : (In that person's case, he contacted the Veda directly… We still need to be on guard about him.)
-Johnny : I wonder who this Boatman is.
-Hayato : “Boat”... Do you think he contacted you to try and steer the direction of the world?
-Sumeragi : Maybe, but also maybe not. Boatman's been asking us to help the UN.
-Kurara : The UN? Could he be a member of the Peacekeeping Council?
-Sumeragi : Exactly. Like I mentioned before, when we were dealing with the invaders, the UN has its own forces which are managed by the Peacekeeping Council.
-Sumeragi : The head of the organization, Representative Elgan Rhodic
-Sumeragi : He is committed to acting for the safety of all mankind, regardless of national interests.
-Crowe : The Peacekeeping Council's main job is to mediate international conflicts and to deal with special disasters like the Dimension Beasts and Image.
-Crowe : But considering the UN is basically under the thumb of the 3 major natuons they dont have much influence, regardless of its duties or strength.
-Lockon : You seem to know your stuff.
-Crowe : Well…
-Lasse : Mediating international conflicts. We're all doing the same thing, but with different methods.
-Sakuya : We've also started dealing with The Dimension Beasts and Invaders, too.
-Aoi : In other words, are we both after the same thing?
-Allelujah : They're an internationally recognized organization, and we're terrorists, hunted by the world. So we're being treated very differently.
-Sumeragi : However, Boatman is acting as an intermediary between us and the Peacekeeping Council.
-Sumeragi : If we help the Peacekeeping Council with their missions, they'll provide us with information and materials.
-Johnny : Maybe they were testing us when they gave us the information about the shuttle attack.
-Aoi : And looks like we passed that test.
-Kurara : We can't underestimate Boatman's power.
-Sakuya : Making enemies with him would be bad, but it would be great to have him on our side.
-Allelujah :...
-Lockon :....
-Musashi : What's up, this doesnt sound like a bad deal?
-Lockon : If what he's saying is true.
-Johnny : Since you want to have everyone as your enemy, you wont cooperate with the UN?
-Sumeragi : If we're being honest. Our ultimate goal is world peace, so if the human race is destroyed, all our efforts would be meaningless.
-Hayato : So that's why we're fighting humanities enemies while doing our armed interventions.
-Hayato : However, if we cooperate with the Peacekeeping Council, we'll have to stop all armed intervention.
-Sumeragi : I'm aware of that. But the current state of the world doesn't give us much of a choice…
-Sumeragi : Honestly, there are too many uncertainties in the world after the Great Space-time Quake. We'll just have to change our priorities now.
-Lockon : The real question is if Boatman is even telling the truth?
-Ryoma : And if he is, you think he's working with the Peacekeeping Council?
-Lockon : We can't be sure. He might just be making use of whatever's available.
-Hayato : And we're one of those things.
-Lockon : I think we both know what's going on here.
-Musashi : Hahaha! You're right.
-Sumeragi : I've already reported the situation to Mr. Tanaka, and he's given his approval.
-Hayato : I'm sure Dr. Saotome wont object. Especially since the Peacekeeping Council is being forced to deal with invaders.
-Crowe : So that just leaves...
-Tieria : Veda has approved of this plan.
-Crowe : That's suprising. The more people you work with, the easier it is for secrets to slip.
-Tieria : Veda has decided. There's no need ask for details.
-Aoi : That's what you always say… But I'm not against doing this, so It's fine.
-Ryoma : I'm in. It's not like we're going to change what we do anyway.
-Lockon : At any rate, we can take a chance on this deal, and if it goes sideways we'll pull out. And of course make sure we thank Boatman for the trouble.
-Allelujah : Plus contacting him might let us find out his identity and objective.
-Crowe : Well as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let’s do it.
-Sumeragi : So, it's decided. Celestial Being will cooperate with the UN Peacekeeping Council with Boatman acting as a mediator.
-Sumeragi : Of course, the fact we're cooperating wont be public, so we'll be working in secret
-Crowe : Got it. So, what exactly are we going to do now?
-Sumeragi : It's almost time for our next contact with him. Let's ask him directly about his plans.
-Sumeragi : Feldt, open a line to Boatman's channel.
-Feldt : Understood.
-Boatman : My dear Celestial Being. Considering you've made contact with me again, can I assume that you've accepted my proposal?
-Sumeragi : We have, Mr. Boatman. Celestial Being will cooperate with you and the Peacekeeping Council, under certain conditions.
-Boatman : What are your conditions?
-Sumeragi : We are provided with the materials and infortmation you have already mentioned.
-Sumeragi : And a guarantee that we may act as we please.
-Boatman : In other words, the right to back out of any coordinated operations with the Peacekeeping Council.
-Sumeragi : Exactly. If the Board of Directors intentions don't align with our beliefs, we will immediately cease any and all acts of cooperation.
-Boatman : Understood. I'll make sure the Peacekeeping Council representative knows about it.
-Lockon : (The way he talks… He doesn't sound like some evil mastermind.)
-Tieria : (Someone who knows Celestial Being's actions and who has deep connections to the outside world… He's not a spy is he?)
-Sumeragi : So, Boatman. Tell us the details of your request.
-Boatman : I currently have two requests, of which you can pick either. The first is for you to head to Japan and meet up with the Peacekeeping Council special forces.
-Boatman : The second is for you to head to Area 11 and rendezvous with the colonists' Gundams.
-Setsuna : The Colony Gundams...
-Lockon : Are they working with the Peacekeeping Council too?
-Boatman : Through my mediation.
-Crowe : You reall are a bigshot huh. You seem to have a very broad reach.
-Boatman : Now you understand a part of my power.
-Sumeragi : I agree. Let's admit that honestly.
-Boatman : Maybe you guys need some time to think about it. Get back to me when you've decided which plan you've chosen.
-Boatman : I will forward the details of both proposals to Veda.
-Tieria : !
-Boatman : I look forward to working with you.
-Hayato : So that's Boatman.
-Sumeragi : He seems more powerful than I imagined. I'm getting more and more interested.
-Crowe : So you're going with the plan he laid out.
-Aoi : Japan or Area 11…
-Allelujah : The Special Forces in Japan have multiple super robots as part of their forces.
-Aoi : And then there's the colony's Gundams in Area 11.
-Crowe : Just knowing that wont help us predict what we'll be up agaist.
-Crowe : Sumeragi, you're the tactical forecaster, you should make the decision here.
-Sumeragi : But…
-Crowe : We'll trust your judgment, right everyone?
-Lockon : Of course. Sumeragi is the brains of our operation.
-Ryoma : I'm not gonna leave it up to a machine. If we're going to put our lives on the line, it's got to be a decision made by someone we trust.
-Johnny : Please, Sumeragi. Make the decision.
-Sumeragi : Alright.
Top choice is Japan. I chose the bottom choice, Area 11.
-Sumeragi : I've decided. We're heading to Area 11.
-Lockon : Got it.
-Kurara : Area 11… I hear a new viceroy has replaced the assassinated Clovis La Britannia…
-Sumeragi : Treme will continue to operate as a CB mothership.
-Crowe : Treme?
-Sumeragi : It's Ptolemaios' nickname.
-Lichty : This ship is unarmed. It's dangerous for us to act alone now that it's been revealed.
-Lasse : Since we'll be working together fron now on. We'd better introduce ourselves, too.
-Chris : Okay, I'll start. I'm Christina Sierra, operator. Call me Chris.
-Lichty : Helmsman Lichtendahl Tseri. You can just call me Lichty.
-Lasse : Lasse Aeon. Normally, I'd be on weapons, but since Treme doesn't have any, I'm a backup helmsman.
-Feldt : Feldt Grace… Battle operator.
-Sakuya : Add to this old man Ian, the medical staff, Sumeragi, and the four Gundam Meisters, and you have Celestial Being.
-Lockon : We have other supporting members too.
-Crowe : Sumeragi… I need to ask you something.
-Sumeragi : What is it? I'll listen as long as it's not about getting a raise.
-Crowe : As expected of a tactical forecaster… You've been predicting me.
-Crowe : Not this time though, when we get down to Area 11, I want to split up.
-Crowe : I'm going to ask the Axiom lab to fix up the Blaster.
-Tieria : Are you running away?
-Crowe : If I wanted to run I would have done that already. Plus, If that was my plan I wouldn't be here asking for permission.
-Crowe : You may not understand this, being with Celestial Being all your life, but I have my own mission. I need to fulfill my part of the bargain, too.
-Chris : What’s that? I'm kind of interested.
-Crowe : I'm paying off a debt.
-Lichty : That's not suprising.
-Chris : And there goes my interest...
-Crowe : This is why women are so… So, Sumeragi, is it OK?
-Sumeragi : I’ll allow it. But I'll have Lasse go with you.
-Lasse : Nice to meet you, debtor.
-Crowe : So now I've got a date with a tough guy… I may not like women, but that doesn't mean I'm into macho men…
NEXT SCENE Britannia Union - Scott Lab - Laboratory
-??? : So what's your progress? Is Number 0 finished.
-Traia : It;s at 80%. Things are going better than we expected.
-??? : Huh… And you were able to analyze the VX?
-Traia : Well.
-??? : Well? You're always so confident, but now you're giving vague responses.
-??? : You should be honest with yourself. In the end, you couldn't understand it, instead you've just been using it.
-Traia : Shut up you moron! When the analysis is complete, I'll make you take that back.
-??? : Okay, okay. I'm looking forward to that day. You've got until the day I die to figure it out.
-Traia : If you want me to fail, I could choke you death right now.
-??? : It doesn't sound like a joke when you're the one saying it.
-Traia : I'm always a serious. By the way, you seem to have a very bad signal…
-??? : There's been a lot of nasty Dimension Shocks going on over the pacific lately. So I would think it's because of that.
-Traia : Wait a minute! Where the hell are you!?
-??? : Area 11. So I can see the real Number 0.
-Traia : Carlos Axion Jr.! That annoying moron… He's trying to beat me to it!!
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Atsugi - Axion Foundation - 6th Defense Research Institute
-Esther : Well, what do you want?
-Crowe : I just said, didn't I, little girl? I came here to leave Blaster with you.
-Esther : Blaster… Number 0…
-Crowe : Huh… Little girl, do you know about the Blaster?
-Esther : Don't call me "little girl", you thug!
-Crowe : Heh… Thug… And we haven't even introduced ourselves yet.
-Crowe : I’m Crowe Bluste. Call me Crowe. So, what’s your name?
-Esther : Esther Elhas.
-Crowe : OK, Esther. Now you're not complaining, are you?
-Esther :....
-Crowe : Don't glare at me like that. You're ruining your pretty face.
-Esther : Shut up… Do you want me to shut your dirty mouth for you?
-Esther : Or should I pepper spray you in in your disgusting eyes?
-Crowe : Hey hey… Aren't you being a bit over the top right now? What did I do to you?
-Esther : The very existence of your company pisses me off.
-Crowe : Well, I guess I was just born on the wrong planet.
-Crowe : Alright, Esther. It's probably best we end our chat here. Just get me through the gate.
-Esther : Wait. We're not done talking yet.
-Crowe : Please just drop it. Taking a verbal beating lying down isn't one of my principles.
-Crowe : Do you really want to accelerate my distrust of women that badly?
-Esther : Well It's just… You're Blaster's pilot, which means you hunt Dimension Beasts, right?
-Crowe : Well I don't do it cos I want to.
-Esther : Please… Kill every last one of those Dimension Beasts.
-Crowe : What…
-Carlos : That's what Number 0 was built for, so it's a perfectly understandable request.
-Crowe : Who are you?
-Carlos : I'm just a rich guy passing through. If you have money, you can do anything! Don't you have any?
-Crowe : I don't. It's nauseating.
-Carlos : Hahaha… I get what your saying. I'm can tell, you're in debt!
-Crowe : You can tell just by looking at me!?
-Carlos : Those with power and wealth can easily see when someone is weak, and I can smell the misfortune on you.
-Crowe : You may be right, but saying it to my face like that Is making me angry.
-Carlos : Sorry, sorry.. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that rich people can't possibly understand how the poor feel.
-Crowe : So what do you want from me? Could it be that Mr rich is here to take care of my debts.
-Carlos : If you'd like.
-Crowe : Seriously!?
-Carlos : I'll do it on one condition. I'd like you to step down from your position as Number 0's test pilot.
-Crowe : I guessed you were someone from Axiom. But I'm being paid to pilot the Blaster.
-Crowe : Writing off my debts if I quit doesn't make any sense.
-Carlos : It doesn't need to make sense, If I want it to happen it will happen.
-Crowe : I know what you're up to. You're trying to sabotage the Chief, aren't you?
-Carlos : Ah! So that's what the poor think of the rich! You don't even have any money!
-Crowe : Stop pointing out I'm poor every time you open your mouth!
-Esther : You're a thug! Don't listen to this guy!
-Carlos : Hmm? You… How dare you talk to me like that?
-Esther : I'm not going to change my attitude no matter who you are!
-Esther : If you get in the way of beating Dimension Beasts, I'll kill you right now!
-Carlos : No violence! If you hit me, I'll sue you for damages!
-Crowe : Don't worry, Esther. I'm not going to listen to this son of a bitch.
-Carlos : Don't try and act all tough now, Mr poor. Bow down before the power of money.
-Crowe : When you say it like that you just make me feel sick.
-Crowe : I'll pay off all the debts left by my deadbeat dad using my own strength.
-Esther : I don't care why you're doing it! If you're going to pilot Blaster, then take down every Dimension Beast!
-Carlos : Ah!! You're all so annoying! I'll hit you with a wad of cash to shut you up!
-Crowe : What's this alarm?
-Esther : It’s… There's unknowns approaching!
-Lasse : Crowe, what's going on!?
-Crowe : We've got incoming unknowns. Lasse, get back to the ship.
-Lasse : What are you gonna do?
-Crowe : This is a good opportunity…
-Carlos : What do you mean, "good opportunity"?
-Crowe : Hey, rich guy… There's no point in you trying to get me off the Blaster.
-Crowe : He's my partner now!
NEXT SCENE Battle Map
-Crowe : Now… I don't know what's coming, but let's show that rich guy what Blaster and I can do.
-Crowe : Hopefully I can nab a bonus for pulling one over on one of the Chief's enemies.
-Esther : Image!
-Crowe : Huh… First Dimension Beasts, Invaders, and now the other monsters show up!
-Crowe : It's another case of kill or be killed. Oh, man, it's a crazy world out there!
-Carlos : Hey… poor man. I wonder if you'll be able to master the VX…
(Crowe fights Image)
-Crowe : The Image are another unknown being. Why are they attacking?
-Crowe : Someone else can worry about it. My job is to fight them off.
(Two Image destroyed/ turn 2 start)
-Crowe : That's!?
-Milly : Let's get out of here, everyone!
-Shirley : Hold on! Nina has injured her leg!
-Nina : Ah… Oh…
-Rivalz : Damn! Why, do the image have to show up now!
-Louise : Saji, what do we do!?
-Saji : Where should we run!?
-Crowe : A student picnic! This is bad!
-Crowe : The KLF! The UN's counter-Images force!
-Holland : This is Holland Novak, commander of the 303rd Independent Regiment, UN peacekeeping force.
-Holland : We will now assist in the eradication of the Image.
-Crowe : There's a group of students nearby who didn't get away! Hurry it up!
-Talho : Holland… That machine, is the Axiom Foundation's new prototype.
-Holland : Axiom has a lot of problems… Depending on the situation, we may have to take control of that lab.
-Talho : Understood…
(Holland fights Image)
-Holland : If we follow them, we'll find it sooner or later.
-Holland : I've already got one of the keys coming to me. I've just got to find their spy robot!
(Turn 5 start or all image destroyed)
-Gidget : The Image are retreating.
-Hap : Should we go after them, Holland?
-Talho : Are you okay Holland?
-Holland : Yeah. I didnt't use the CFS that much.
-Crowe : The KLF, that Holland guy, he's the famous Devilfish.
-Crowe : You're no ordinary guy if you can pilot that thing.
-Crowe : The Dimensional boundaries are distorting! It's been happening a lot lately!
-Holland : A Dimensional quake!
-Esther : Dimension Beasts!
-Crowe : Not now! Can't you read the room!
-Ten-Goh : What should we do, Holland? Do we retreat?
-Holland : The Dimension Beasts could be related to our plan. I just need to check them out.
-Moondoggie : So we're gonna fight!
-Holland : If we can figure out how they appear using dimensional quakes, we can…
-Talho :...
-Holland : Axiom machine, do you copy! We'll help you take them out!
-Crowe : The students haven't escaped yet, so Thanks!
-Crowe : I guess I'm going to have to do that tough little girl a favor.
-Crowe : Let's go, Partner! We'll give the lab a chance to review the data so far!
-Esther : Dimension Beasts. I will never forgive you.
(Turn 5 starts)
-Gidget : We've got multiple machines approaching! This is!?
-Lasse : Looks like you're still kicking Crowe.
-Crowe : Save the greetings for later! There's a group of students nearby who didn't escape in time!
-Tieria : Crowe Bluste, what's with that aerial battleship and the KLF?
-Crowe : It's the UN Counter-Images Task Force. They're covering us.
-Talho : Is that Celestial Being?
-Ten-Goh : Looks like it.
-Hap : We've been informed to stay out of their way as long as they don't try anything…
-Holland : Looks like theyre targetting the Dimension Beasts too. Just ignore them.
-Musashi : Alright! Let's get this over with before they start attacking people!
-Crowe : Wait! The dimensional boundaries are distorting again!
-Ryoma : You mean we've got another Dimensional Quake!?
-Crowe : No! This distortion is beyond the level of a dimensional quake!
-Crowe : There's going to be a spacetime distortion
-Hayato : A Spacetime distortion! That's not just going to crack the dimensional boundary, spacetime distortions can warp the land and even people!
-Lockon : This whole area is going to be warped!
-Crowe : I don't know what's going to happen! Everyone, be careful!
-Talho : Holland!
-Holland : Oh…! This is the same thing as before!
-Crowe : Damn! What's going to happen!?
-Sakuya : More Dimension Beasts appeared!
-Johnny : They're not like the one's we've seen before! They're a new type!
-Esther : That is!?
-Crowe : It's coming for me!?
-Crowe : It’s fast!
(Dimension Beast attacks crowe)
-Crowe : No… Way…
-Ryoma : Crowe!!
-Sumeragi : All units target the Dimension Beasts!
-Aoi : But, Crowe is…
-Lockon : Focus on the enemy in front of you! If we don't defeat the Dimension Beasts, we won't be able to retrieve the Blaster!
-Aoi : Ri-Right!
-Setsuna : That white Dimension Beast… It's on a different level than anything we've seen before.
-Allelujah : Looks like the new ones arent just a pallete swap.
-Ryoma : This is no time to be messing around! If they want to take us down, then let them try!
(Turn 6 starts)
-Shirley : What the!!
-Suzaku : Everyone, this way! Hurry!!
-Milly : You are… Suzaku Kururugi…?
-Rivalz : Why are you here!?
-Suzaku : I was in the Axiom lab on military duty! Come on, I'll lead the way. We need to evacuate now!
-Shirley : B-But, Nina’s leg…
-Suzaku : I’ll carry her!
-Nina : But…
-Suzaku : This place is dangerous! please listen to me for now!
-Milly : Alright! Everybody, follow his instructions!
-Suzaku : (Lelouch… I will protect your friends!)
-Setsuna : They're strong!
-Tieria : Continuing this fight is a bad idea
-Sakuya : And turning our backs on them is an even worse one!
-Hayato : Tch! So we have to keep fighting until one of us is wiped out
-Feldt : Please wait! There are machines approaching the area!
-Suzaku : Stolen KMFs and Gundams! The Resistance is here!
-Setsuna : The Colony Gundams!
-Allelujah : Those KMFs belong to Britannia Union, but…
-Lockon : As long as they're working with the Gundams, they must belong to that guy called Zero.
-Zero : Can you hear me, Celestial Being? My name is Zero.
-Aoi : You were right!
-Zero : At Boatman's request, we will assist you.
-Sumeragi : So Boatman was already in contact with the Resistance in Area 11.
-Hayato : At this point, the more firepower we have, the better. If they want to help us, we have no reason to decline.
-Tamaki : Hey Zero! We were told to join up with Celestial Being, not fight Dimension Beasts!
-Kallen : What are you talking about, Tamaki! We don't know what kind of damage they'll do if we leave them alone!
-Ohgi : Kallen’s right. I'll follow Zero's lead here.
-Ohgi : Chirico, Heero, Duo! Are you okay with that?
-Chirico : Understood.
-Heero : Mission, OK.
-Duo : They don't talk much. Since you're helping people, why don't you try being a bit more friendly.
-Zero : (So Suzaku evacuated Shirley and the others. Now we just need to take care of these monsters.)
-Zero : All units, commence attack! Destroy the Dimension Beasts!
(Duo fights Dimension Beast)
-Duo : There's no point in acting like the Grim Reaper when dealing with monsters.
-Duo : But now that we've met, I'll have you dissapear too!
(Tamaki fights Dimension Beast)
-Tamaki : This monster… You think you're tougher than a robot huh!?
-Tamaki : This is no time to be scared! I'll show you the strength of Japan!
(Heero fights Dimension Beast)
-Heero : Target confirmed. Attack target, Dimension Beast.
(Ohgi fights Dimension Beast)
-Ohgi : (I thought Zero was a man who would never do anything that wasn't in his best interest, so I never thought he'd fight Dimension Beasts…
-Ohgi : (Zero is fighting for Japan after all, he is the one who deserves to be our leader.)
(Kallen fights Dimension Beast)
-Kallen : I wont die until we defeat Britannia. I wont die!
-Kallen : I wont lose to these guys! We're gonna take Japan back!!
(Zero fights Dimension Beast)
-Zero : (Celestial Being… From their point of view, we are also a target for their interventions. But this is our chance.
-Zero : (With Boatman's mediation, we'll be able to enlist their help, and our forces will grow. To do that, I need to make them aknowledge us!)
(Aoi fights ???)
-Aoi : What is that thing!? You mean it really is more than a color swap!?
-Aoi : Could it's appearence have something to do with the Dimension shock just now?
(Ryoma fights ???)
-Ryoma : Damn! This one's got some bite! My blood is boiling!
-Ryoma : Getter and I will tear every last one of them to pieces!
(Setsuna fights ???)
-Setsuna : So strong…
-Setsuna : If these things appear across the whole world…
(Dimension Beast ??? defeated)
-Ryoma : Did we do it!?
-Hayato : No... I think It got away
-Sakuya : Which means that things still alive!?
-Johnny : It was so strong. I hope we never have to see it again.
(If Dimension beast ??? flees)
-Hayato : They fled…
-Musashi : If we didn't stick it out, we might have been in real trouble.
-Allelujah : It's too early to relaxe. That Dimension Beast doesn't seem to have dissapeared like the other one have in the past.
-Aoi : So it's still in our world!?
-Kurara : So you mean it really is different from other Dimension Beasts?
-Sumeragi : Feldt, where is the Dimension Beast going?
-Feldt : Unknown. Our sensors have lost it.
-Lockon : I guess we leave tracking it to the UN.
(Stage End):
-Sakuya : Umm… At least we're fought it off.
-Johnny : Thanks to their assistance.
-Zero : Celestial Being, please respond. Boatman's already Informed me about you. I request permission to board your ship.
-Allelujah : What do we do, Sumeragi?
-Sumeragi : Since we've decided to take Boatman's offer, we'll have to accept them.
-Tieria : We must still remain on guard. Depending on the situation, we'll detain them.
- Liu Mei : Can you hear me, Ptolemaios? Please respond.
-Sumeragi : This battle is over. What’s up?
- Liu Mei : We have an emergency.
- Liu Mei : We just received a report that Dimensional Quakes have been occuring around the world, and the dimensional boundaries around the Dark Continent have stabilized seemingly as a result.
-Sumeragi : The Dark Continent!?
- Liu Mei : Not only that. An unidentified spacecraft has appeared on the outskirts of the Earth's atmosphere.
-Lichty : Are you saying that aliens are here!?
-Talho : Holland! We've got orders to return.
-Holland : The power to change the world… It seems the spacetime quakes realy are the key to everything.
-Hap : Surely…
-Holland : The legend's going to be retold
-Ryoma : They’re gone…
-Aoi : They're the same people who were in the dimensional quake… No, I think they were startled by the space-time tremor…
-Kurara : The Dark Continent's opened up and unidentified spaceships have appeared.
-Sakuya : And then there's the unknown Dimension Beast…
-Allelujah : The world is going to change a lot again…
-Ryoma : That's good. Or well it's better for us at least.
- Liu Mei : This information was provided by Boatman.
-Lockon : Well isn't he quick on the uptake. Looks like this guy could offer us a lot of useful info.
- Liu Mei : He's also given me instructions on how to proceed. After rendezvousing with the colony's Gundams, we'll discuss the mission plan.
-Sumeragi : Understood, Liu Mei.
-Sumeragi : As you heard, everyone. Return to Ptolemaios so we can discuss our future plans.
-Lockon : Wait a moment, Sumeragi. What about Crowe?
-Traia : You don't have to worry about him. I recovered the Blaster too.
-Setsuna : You are?
-Traia : To him, I'm a worse boss than the devil.
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Off Sagami Bay - Ptolemaios - Bridge
-Sumeragi : They want us to escort the UN envoy?
- Liu Mei : According to Boatman, the United Nations will represent the world in contacting the unknown ships that have appeared just outside the atmosphere.
- Liu Mei : He would like you to escort them. Of course, it will be done in secret.
-Sumeragi : If we're acting as an escort, then it means the envoy could be attacked?
- Liu Mei : We cant say. But since they are unknown to us, I guess it makes sense to act with precautions.
-Sumeragi : So we're being to act alongside the official escort forces.
- Liu Mei : The identity of Boatman and why he is cooperating with the United Nations remains unknown.
-Liu Mei : We are currently mobilizing agents to investigate him.
-Sumeragi : But today's incident has given us a glimpse of into his network and influence.
-Sumeragi : It would be a great advantage if he could assist us as he promised.
- Liu Mei : So, should I accept this request?
-Sumeragi : If that fleet is going to be the spark that starts a war, it's the Celestial Being's role to destroy it.
- Liu Mei : Understood. Take care.
NEXT SCENE Ptolemaios - Briefing Room
-Sumeragi : These are the instructions Boatman gave us.
-Lockon : When we were asked to cooperate with the UN, I thought it would just be to fight Dimension Beasts and Invaders, I wasn't expecting us to become their bodyguards.
-Sumeragi : I'm sure Boatman wasn't expecting a dimensional quake, so the timing of this request is just a coincidence
-Duo : I got no problem with that. I'd like to see it with my own eyes if something dangerous has shown up in space.
-Allelujah : Since you're fighting for the colonies that makes sense.
-Lockon : But I'm surprised. I didn't realize colony Gundam's pilots were a bunch of kids.
-Lockon : And for a guy who calls himself the Grim Reaper, you’re pretty upbeat.
-Duo : You already know I've got enough skill. I’m Duo Maxwell.
-Duo : My partner is the Gundam Deathscythe.
-Duo : He’s Heero Yuy. He's the pilot of the transforming Gundam.
-Heero :....
-Sumeragi : Heero Yuy… A former leader of the colony liberation movement who advocated non-violence and disarmament…
-Sumeragi : His assassination turned the movement into a riot, which eventually led to the armed suppression by the three major powers.
-Duo : I'm sure his code name was a nod to him.
-Tieria : Are you all part of one organization?
-Duo : Are you still interested in us, Celestial Being?
-Tieria : Answer my question.
-Duo : I don't think I wanna answer if you're going to keep acting like that.
-Duo : Besides, to you we're probably just another target for your interventions
-Tieria : Exactly.
-Lockon : Stop it, Tieria. We're working together, at least for the time being.
-Tieria : ...
-Sumeragi : I'm sorry, Mr. Duo. I promise we won't act against you during this request.
-Duo : Just Duo's fine. And I'm not going to go poking around like that.
-Duo : As far as I'm concerned, the existence of Celestial Being, while dangerous, can be useful for us.
-Sumeragi : Well, let's call a truce. Take care of Heero over there.
-Heero : I'm just doing my job.
-Allelujah : You're not just unsociable, you're rude.
-Duo : Don't worry. He's like that with everyone.
-Lockon : (I can feel it. This guy has the same bad luck as me.)
-Duo : What's the matter? Why are you smiling all of a sudden?
-Lockon : No… It’s nothing.
-Lockon : I'll introduce you someone whose just as unsociable.
-Setsuna :....
-Heero :...
-Aoi : (I dont think I can handle being stuck in space with two Setsunas)
-Duo : Well now that we've got a truce I guess we can share a bit of info.
-Duo : Like you probably guessed, me and Heero were sent to free the colonies from the three major nations.
-Allelujah : The CMC… The Colonial Sovereign Alliance, they're an international organization that controls the colony.
-Allelujah : But the reality is they just divide up the colonies between the three major nations.
-Duo : Yeah, and the colonies arent too happy with the new status quo.
-Duo : Which is why they sent us. But me and this guy were sent from different colonies.
-Sumeragi : There are a total of five confirmed colony Gundams, do they all come from different colonies?
-Duo : As far as I know, yeah.
-Aoi : You think you can beat the three major nations with only five Gundams?
-Duo : Well Celestial Being declared war on the whole world with only four Gundams.
-Duo : Even Dancouga's the same, always taking the losing side, and there's only one you.
-Johnny : He's got a point.
-Sakuya : Don't let him convince you that easily!
-Kurara : But the Colony Gundams attacks will upset the military balance of the three major nations…
-Kurara : If it throws the world into chaos, the colonies could take advantage of it.
-Duo : That's right. We're the spearhead.
-Sumeragi : And that's why you're cooperating with the Area 11 resistance?
-Duo : That's about right. Though we just kinda stumbled into it.
-Zero : Now, let me introduce myself.
-Lockon : I've heard a lot about you from the news.
-Zero : I can't convey my true nature with that kind of pretense.
-Zero : I’m Zero. My existence is the truth, and in it a new world is born.
-Hayato : You're very dramatic. Are you mistaking this place for a theater?
-Zero : Dramatic… Theatre… Well, that certainly captures my personality.
-Zero : I'm a director, you see, in the grand transformation of this world.
-Ryoma : So what's with the mask? You're not gonna show us what you look like?
-Ohgi : Even we don't know what Zero really looks like.
-Ryoma : This guy's your leader, right? You okay with that?
-Kallen : We believe in Zero's power. We need Zero's help to break free from Britannia's control.
-Ohgi : I’m Kaname Oghi. I was the leader of a resistance group in Area 11.
-Ohgi : Zero appreared and used his tactics to lead us to victory.
-Tamaki : That was painful. It's like those pigs were just dancing to Zero's tune.
-Musashi : Pigs?
-Sakuya : That's what the resistance in Area 11 calls the people of the Britannia Union.
-Tamaki : They took our identity as Japanese away and labeled us Elevens, and we want it back.
-Tamaki : I’m Shinichiro Tamaki, the treasurer of our team.
-Ohgi : That's just what you call yourself…
-Kallen : We're fighting the Britannia Union with Zero as our leader.
-Kallen : My name is Kallen Kozuki. If you doubt Zero, youll have to deal with me.
-Lockon : Understood. We've all got our scars. If it's a secret, we wont pry.
-Lockon : Assuming, of course, that you don't turn against us.
-Zero : I don't want to get into a fight with Celestial Being.
-Zero : By your principles, our existence would be a target for intervention.
-Sumeragi : (Compromises and provocations… It's difficutly to read his intentions.)
-Zero : Our group has steadily increased in numbers and is now the largest organization in the Kanto area.
-Zero : All members who are not present are still active in the Tokyo Concession at this very moment.
-Sumeragi : Are you also cooperating with the UN through Boatman?
-Zero : I still don't fully trust him.
-Zero : and I can't leave Area 11 now. Therefore, I will not be participating in this mission.
-Sumeragi : Understood. It's your choice.
-Duo : Zero… I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to go. me and my superiors have promised to help Boatman.
-Zero : Understood. Thank you for your cooperation up to now.
-Kallen : Duo, Heero. We'll take care of Area 11. Good luck.
-Duo : Thanks, Kallen. Be careful out there, too.
-Zero : Chirico… You're going to stay in Area 11.
-Chirico : Alright.
-Hayato : He seems to be an Astragian, but is he part of the Resistance?
-Ohgi : His name is Chirico Cuvie. As you can see, he's an AT pilot.
-Ohgi : He's very skilled, but he won't talk about himself, so we don't know his background.
-Tamaki : We hired him through a referral from an old arms dealer who frequents our group. He’s like a mercenary.
-Chirico :...
-Hayato : (Ryoma…)
-Ryoma : (Yeah, I see it in his eyes… He's been through a lot.)
-Sumeragi : So, the only ones coming up to space with us are Duo and Heero.
-Zero : I'm sorry, Miss Sumeragi. I'll see you again when the time is right.
-Zero : When that happens, I would like you to act as my comrades.
-Sumeragi : I wonder… Considering our goal is to defeat all those who aid and promote war.
-Zero : Well It is true that both we and the Colony Gundam's are supposed to be targets of your interventions…
-Zero : But you will know soon enough. The power to change the world is not in your Gundams, but in my existence.
-Setsuna :...
-Zero : If you truly wish to change the world, you will have no choice but to work with me. Until that day, I'll bid you adieu.
-Sumeragi : I understand, Zero. But we are also fighting for the beliefs of Celestial Being
-Sumeragi : And I have no intention of giving them up. Remember that.
-Zero : I understand your beliefs.
-Sumeragi : (We're going to have to fight this man someday… This is not a forecast, only a hunch, but…)
-Chris : Sumeragi, Lasse has just reported in, Crowe is safe.
-Sakuya : That's great!
-Aoi : Yeah that's a relief.
-Musashi : Well… He's not going to die until he pays his debt.
-Hayato : Heh… Then I guess he's immortal for the time being.
-Allelujah : Still I'm sure he's frustrated. I can’t believe he was beaten by the things he specialised in fighting
-Lockon : Yeah…
-Sumeragi : As soon as he joins us and we're ready, Ptolemaios will head to space.
-Duo : (The opening of the Dark Continent and the appearance of a mysterious fleet of ships… That dimensional quake is changing the world again…)
-Tieria : (We'll have to revise our plans… But…)
-Setsuna : (We are Celestial Being. I wont let anyone stop us.)
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Atsugi - Axiom Foundation 6th Defense Research Institute - Medical Office
-Crowe : Ugh…
-Traia : Ah you're awake.
-Esther : Hey, you! Are you alright!?
-Crowe : I’m… I knew It, I've gone to hell
-Esther : Huh!?
-Crowe : Eternal torment at the hands of the witch and the she-demon. All because I didn't pay off my debts...
-Esther : You’re okay. I'm so glad you're alive.
-Crowe : Well that's an unexpected reaction…
-Traia : You didnt even give me a chance to make a joke about the state your in. You're still the same man.
-Crowe : I wasn't kidding about the witch being here…
-Crowe : So, that white Dimension Beast got me, huh.
-Traia : Yeah, Blaster's taken a lot of damage. It's going to be a lot of work to fix.
-Esther : Hey…
-Crowe : I'm sorry. You were genuinely worried about me, and I've just been messing with you.
-Esther : I don't care about that!
-Esther : Please! Take down that Dimension Beast!
-Crowe : Esther…
-Traia : I've actually seen that white Dimension Beast before, one time about a year ago.
-Crowe : What?
-Traia : You've experienced It's power first hand. It decimated an entire city in just a few minutes.
-Crowe : Which city?
-Traia : A city in west Texas, called Odessa.
-Crowe : !
-Traia :There's nothing left now after the Dimension Beats's rampage.
-Traia : We only even knew it extsed thanks to the testimony of the sole survivor
-Crowe : You mean...
-Traia : Yeah… That survivor is Esther.
-Esther :...
-Crowe : This girl is the survivor of Odessa…
-Esther : I wont let them destroy anything else, not just MD, but every dimension beast
-Crowe : MD?
-Traia : It's short for Moby Dick.
-Crowe : That's an appropriate nickname for a giant white monster.
-Esther :...
-Crowe :...
-Crowe : So Chief. If I kill MD, how much bonus will I get?
-Traia : I’m sorry, Crowe. We're suffering with development costs too. 10 G's the best I can offer.
-Crowe : That's all the money I need.
-Esther : You…
-Crowe : The amount doesn't matter, if I'm being payed I'll bring my talents as a professional.
-Crowe : I promise, Esther. I'll take down the MD with the Blaster.
-Esther : Really!?
-Crowe : Heh… It's against my principles to make up lies on the fly.
-Esther : I.. I believe in you, Crowe!
-Crowe : Good girl, just sit back and wait for my win.
-Traia : Now that you've made your decision, it's time for the valuation you've been waiting for. You've done a great job, Crowe.
-Crowe : Great. Because the days I spent in Celestial Being were hard enough as it is.
-Traia : Not only Dimension Beast, but you also got data on the Invaders and Human Reform League mobile suits. Add to that the salary you've been paid…
-Crowe : How much of my remaining 980,000 G debt has been paid off!?
-Traia : Your total debt is now 990,000 G's.
-Crowe : You're increasing it! How does that work!?
-Traia : It's the Blaster's repair costs. If it wasn't for all the data you got, your debt would be even bigger.
-Crowe : So the developtment costs actually on the line here?
-Traia : I wouldn't joke about it at a time like this.
-Traia : Or is it something else? You're a professional, but you're not going to admit you made a mistake?
-Crowe : Alright. I admit I messed up this time. Minus 10,000 G's, fine.
-Crowe : But you have to understand, even with my skills, fighting that thing with the Blaster's current equipment is risky.
-Traia : Is that so? Even when you're still not getting 100% out of the Blaster.
-Crowe : I think I'm already outperforming the base specs.
-Traia : That's not the Blaster's true power.
-Crowe : What do you mean?
-Traia : Sorry, but I can't give you an explanation.
-Traia : I still haven't completely figured out the VX, the Blaster's main drive, yet.
-Crowe : The Vee Ex?
-Traia : Yeah, it’s “VX”... Quintuple-X is the code name for that thing.
-Crowe : You mean five X's… Seems it's highly classified.
-Traia : A mysterious energy generator, the VX, brought in by that moron. That's what the Blaster is equipped with.
-Traia : We've figured out the basic operating system, but we still don't know how to control it.
-Traia : In theory, if we could use the maximum output of the VX to power the weapons, it would be quite a force to be reckoned with.
-Crowe : Doesn't it work now?
-Traia : I told you, didn't I? You can' t control it properly.
-Traia : We don't know how to increase the power beyond a certain level, and even if we could, it would just cause the machine to suffer a meltdown and explode.
-Traia : I know that moron got the VX from somewhere, but he wont tell me.
-Crowe : Why would he entrust something like that to you?
-Traia : He's just trying to annoy me. So now that the Blaster's finished he wants to take it for himself.
-Traia : Didn't you see him at the lab, too? To a sarcastic guy with a nose for the power of money.
-Crowe : I saw someone who looked like that. He was a picture-perfect rich guy.
-Traia : That was Carlos Axiom Jr. He's the president of the Axiom Foundation.
-Esther : I don't care if he's rich, you cant to listen to him!
-Traia : Just saying he's rich isn't accurate. He's the entire reason that Axiom has become one of the biggest companies in the world
-Crowe : Are you serious?
-Traia : Sure, he's the boss. But the Axiom of a few years ago was not so large. It was his own power that changed it.
-Traia : After he succeeded his father as the president a few years ago, he used his genious management skills to turn Axiom into one of the largest companies in the world.
-Crowe : So you mean he's not just some idiot following in his fathers footsteps.
-Traia : As an individual, he's probably the richest man in the world.
-Traia : Be careful, Crowe. He's probably got his eye on you since you're Blaster's pilot.
-Traia : You're also spending his most valuable asset, his money, with impunity.
-Esther : Hey! You'd better not get tempted by that!
-Crowe : I'll try.
-Esther : Why you!!
-Crowe : Don’t worry, Esther, Chief. I'm not selling the Blaster.
-Crowe : I need the his power to beat the MD.
-Traia : You've said it now so stick by it.
-Crowe : By the way, Chief. I'm gonna use that VX, too. When that happens...
-Traia : I know. When it does, I won't just give you 10G, I'll give you a huge bonus.
-Crowe : Don't forget that.
-Esther : Are you going, Crowe?
-Crowe : Just give me a minute, Esther. But I promise you again.
-Crowe : I’ll beat that MD. I promise.
-Esther : Yeah!
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Tokyo Concession - Axiom Foundation Branch - Presidential Office
-Carlos : Oh, no… I'm surprised. There really was a hell of a dimensional quake just like "he" said.
-Carlos : What should I do… This might be the end of the world as we know it
-Shiony : Stop making everything overly dramatic! Carlos Axiom Jr, You're just trying to make things interesting!
-Shiony : You always are! You're smiling and laughing at me while I'm worried and anxious…
-Carlos : Sorry, sorry. When I have so much money, the only thing I can look forward to is surprises.
-Carlos : But shouldn't we be happy? And it proves that “he's” not a liar.
-Carlos : Well… The fact that all sorts of extra phenomena have occurred means there's still a lot to consider.
-Shiony : I didn't expect the Dark Continent to open up and a bunch of spaceships to appear...
-Carlos : But doesn't this mean that your Limonesia is safe now?
-Carlos : That's great. I think you can make it before the DEC stockpile runs out.
-Shiony : I don't need you to tell me that!
-Shiony : Rich people like you may not understand…
-Shiony : The Republic of Limonesia is struggling to survive.
-Shiony : And you're the one who's always looking down on me, taunting and complaining
-Carlos : Sorry, sorry. Rich people just can't understand those kinds of issues.
-Shiony : You're the worst kind of person.
-Carlos : Anyway… Let's see which way the world will turn after this dimensional quake.
-Carlos : That's when we'll make our next move.
-Shiony : Then I'll…
-Carlos : Please continue to stir up conflicts like you have been doing. You can do it, can't you, Mrs. Foreign Minister?
-Shiony : I'll do whatever it takes to keep Limonesia safe.
-Carlos : That's how you become the elite of your country. Though, in times like this, battles and war will spread even if we do nothing.
-Shiony : That's…
-Carlos : Now, let's see what's waiting for us?
-Carlos : One thing alone is certain. Our Project Uzume will change the world in a big way.
