Michel:
Man-Machines!?
Federation Man-Machines approaching!
Madras:
What!?
Have we been discovered?
Michel:
There are six Federation Man-Machines!
Kellan:
This is why we should have brought Gaia Gear with us!
How are we supposed to fight without weapons!?
Madras:
Saying that now isn't going to help.
We can only try to deceive them somehow.
Affranchi:
Captain!
Madras:
Don't worry, Affranchi.
This ship is a cargo ship.
We even have an operating permit from the Federation.
Michel:
Captain, they're telling us to transmit our call sign.
Madras:
We've prepared for this.
There's a Side 1 cargo ship, the Louisiana.
Send them that ship's call sign.
Michel:
Roger.
Joe:
Won't they see through it, Captain?
Where is the actual Louisiana right now?
Madras:
No idea.
Let's pray it isn't anywhere around here.
Michel:
We have a reply from the Man-Machines.
They've verified our call sign.
They wish the Louisiana a safe voyage.
Madras:
Phew.
Joe:
Hmph.
Kellan:
Heh! The Federation's pretty lax.
Madras:
Alright, let's change shifts.
Affranchi, get some sleep.
We've still got a long way ahead.
Affranchi:
Yes, I will.
Char:
The pilot operating that white mobile suit is a Newtype.
Even though he isn't as strong as Lalah...
If he wasn't, he wouldn't be able to avoid my aim like this.
Char:
Lalah, stop playing around with him!
Char:
In the final battle of Zeon's War of Independence,
my protégé, a young pilot named Lalah Sune,
she found the compassion she had been looking for in Amuro,
even though he was an enemy.
I know such deep understanding is only possible between Newtypes.
Everly:
Affranchi!
Affranchi Char!
Affranchi:
Ah!
Ah, a dream?
Ahh, I was dreaming...
Lalah Sune...
Char Aznable's lover,
the Newtype pilot?
Krishna:
Affranchi, are you awake?
Affranchi:
Y-Yes.
Krishna:
Please come up to the bridge.
We've entered Side 2.
You can see the space colonies.
Affranchi:
Oh, I see. I'll be right there.
Affranchi:
Captain, I can see the space colonies now, right?
Madras:
Oh, Affranchi! Over there.
That's the space colony we're going to, Hellas.
Affranchi:
So that's a space colony...
Ah, I heard that space colonies were islands floating in space,
But it's completely different to what I imagined.
Madras:
It's more of a giant cylinder than an island.
It's three kilometers in diameter and thirty-two in length.
And that cylinder is slowly revolving.
By revolving like that, it creates gravity on the cylinder's interior.
Affranchi:
I see... So that's what a space colony is...
Inside that giant cylinder, there's air and water and soil.
And many people are living in there.
To think humans created all that...
Announcement:
When moving around, please make use of your magnetic boots.
Announcement:
This shuttle terminal is a zero-gravity environment.
When moving around, please make use of your magnetic boots.
Joe:
I didn't think we'd be able to enter so easily.
They barely even looked at our passports.
Krishna:
I'm glad nothing happened.
Joe:
Well, from now on we'll have to be careful.
Krishna:
Yes.
Affranchi:
Krishna, is it really okay for just the three of us to be out here?
Krishna:
Are you worried, Affranchi?
Affranchi:
No...
Joe:
It'd be much more suspicious if we were traveling as a large group.
Besides, the Spacious is on standby in the port.
If there's trouble, then we just return to the port and we can escape.
Affranchi:
Yeah, you're right.
Krishna:
Affranchi, look at this!
Look, you can see the inside of the colony.
Affranchi:
Wow!
That's such a big city!
And there's so much greenery too!
Is this really the inside of a colony?
Ah, what's that?
There's something like a band of light stretching out alongside the city.
Krishna:
That's one of the colony's windows.
Affranchi:
Windows?
Krishna:
On the other side of that window is a massive mirror that reflects sunlight
into the interior of the colony.
Affranchi:
Ehh...
Krishna:
The angle of the mirror
determines whether it's morning or evening.
Close the mirror and it becomes night.
All of that is controlled by a computer.
It can also make it rain or snow.
Affranchi:
Rain and snow!?
Krishna:
Yes, it has full control over temperature and humidity.
Inside a space colony, humans control nature.
Affranchi:
Human beings controlling nature...
You can really do that?
On the island where I grew up,
by looking at the clouds and the wind and the tide, you could could usually predict
whether tomorrow would be sunny, or cloudy, or whether a storm would come.
But even so, you could be completely wrong.
That's how I thought of nature.
Krishna:
A colony's nature is much kinder.
Perhaps that makes people weak.
But there's nothing we can do.
This is a world where,
without careful management, we'd use up all the air.
Krishna:
Affranchi, be careful as you walk.
There's gravity from here on.
Affranchi:
Sure.
Affranchi:
Wow... amazing!
I can see a city above the clouds!
Krishna:
It must be strange if you're not used to it.
The view at night is beautiful.
It looks like a real starry night sky.
Affranchi:
Oh? That's so strange.
Joe:
Oh no, we'll soon be in the center of Grenze.
Affranchi, be careful.
Don't you open the window.
Affranchi:
What?
Voices Outside Car:
You better watch yourself!
Voices Outside Car:
You idiot, you looking to get killed?
Voices Outside Car:
Watch where you're driving!
Joe:
Tch, I can barely move...
Krishna:
Surprised, Affranchi?
This is Grenze.
Affranchi:
What is this place?
This is worse than Hong Kong!
Krishna:
Space colonies are like this everywhere.
Affranchi:
What!?
Krishna:
Just how many people do you think are living in Hellas?
It's 100 million people.
The only ones who can live in a better class of housing are politicians and the rich.
Normal people can only live in places like Grenze.
If you pack in so many people together
it's only natural you'd end up with a city this horrible.
Affranchi:
Why?
So space colonies weren't a paradise floating in space!?
Isn't this making
the space colonies just like
the horrible conditions on Earth!?
No, this is even worse than Earth.
Krishna:
So you understand the reason for the space colony independence movement?
Affranchi:
Yes, I understand.
It's natural you'd want to do something about these horrible conditions.
I didn't know...
I didn't know anything.
Me leading the independence movement?
What a joke...
Joe:
Affranchi, don't feel bad.
The issue is whether you'll act or not.
You've dove right into the movement.
All you have to do now is do your best, okay?
Krishna:
This is the city where I was born.
I lived here until I was fifteen.
Affranchi:
This was your birthplace?
Krishna:
So do you see why the people living in space believed in the existence of Newtypes?
It was because they wanted to escape this harsh reality.
We who went out into space,
wanted to believe that we would
surely evolve into the next stage of humanity.
That was our one and only hope.
Joe:
"Entou Cismesia"?
Who's that?
Krishna:
An astrologer.
There's not a person around here that doesn't know about Entou the astrologer.
Affranchi:
What's your relationship with this person then?
Krishna:
She adopted me.
Affranchi:
She adopted you?
Krishna:
She took care of my after my father died...
Krishna:
Ah, here we are.
This is the apartment.
It's been three years, but it hasn't changed a bit.
Joe:
Krishna, I'll bring the car around here.
Krishna:
The apartment's on the second floor.
Joe:
Got it.
Krishna:
Well, Affranchi, let's go.
Krishna:
I used to live in this apartment.
Horrible, isn't it?
This is the room.
Krishna:
Is it empty, I wonder?
It's unlocked?
Urgh!
It stinks!
It's like there's been no fresh air in here for months.
Entou!
Where are you?
Entou!
Entou:
Who is it?
I won't read your horoscope!
Krishna:
Entou?
It's me, Krishna!
Entou:
Krishna?
Entou:
Oh, Krishna!
When did you get back?
Krishna:
What's wrong, Entou?
Is something wrong with your body?
Entou:
No... Well, my eyes are a bit worse...
Oh, who's that young man over there?
Affranchi:
My name is Affranchi Char.
Entou:
Oh, Affranchi Char...
What a curious name you have.
Affranchi:
You think so?
Entou:
Yes
It was that name which brought you here.
I can sense it.
Won't you come over here and let me have a good look at your face?
Affranchi:
Huh?
Entou:
This is the first time in a while I've felt like telling someone's fortune.
Affranchi:
Oh, you're going to tell my fortune?
Krishna:
Entou, this person is-
Affranchi:
I don't mind Krishna, she can tell my fortune.
Entou:
Go on, seat yourself before the crystal ball.
Entou:
Oh? Could this be...?
Hmm.
Krishna:
What is it, Entou?
Entou:
It was "Affranchi", right?
Affranchi:
Yes.
Entou:
Affranchi, there's no star you were born under.
Affranchi:
There isn't?
Entou:
What is your birthday?
Affranchi:
I was told it was August 10th, but I can't be sure.
Entou:
No... There it is.
It's been overlapped so many times.
So it seemed as if you had none.
Affranchi:
Uh... What's my fate then?
Entou:
Let's not do this.
Do you understand the need for fortune-telling?
It's because humans are perpetually lost.
We want something to show us the way.
But right now you know where you're going.
Affranchi:
Is that so?
Entou:
It appears you are moving forward with the guidance of the light.
Affranchi:
Guidance of the light?
Joe:
You're the one in the way!
Krishna:
That's Joe.
Affranchi:
What's up with him?
Krishna:
I'll go take a look.
Entou, I'll see you again later.
Messer:
You're really bringing your car into this narrow alleyway?
Get out of here already!
Rea:
Yeah, get out.
Joe:
You should just go around the sides.
Your motorcycles could do it.
Messer:
Like I'd take orders from you.
I want to drive down the middle of the road!
Joe:
Don't talk nonsense.
Messer:
Don't you know who I am?
If Messer Mett says, "Move!",
then you get out of the way.
That's how it goes around here.
Joe:
What?
Rea:
Messer, this guy's not from around here.
What are you thinking,
driving those gasoline engine
motorcycles around?
We're inside a space colony!
Rea:
Shut up!
Outsiders should mind their own business.
Krishna:
Are you alright, Joe?
Rea:
What's that? You brought your buddies?
Messer:
Heh, maybe we'll take this out on all of them.
Krishna:
Ah! Messer!?
Messer:
Krishna? Is that you, Krishna?
Messer:
Oh, here it comes!
Today, this is my treat.
Drink it all up!
Joe:
You were really Krishna's childhood friend?
I can't believe it.
Messer:
"He who believes shall be saved", right?
Hehehe, I'm Messer Mett.
Nice to meet you.
You should have told me you were Krishna's pal from the start.
Then I wouldn't have given you any trouble.
Krishna:
How was he supposed to know that?
Messer:
Hahaha, well I guess he couldn't have.
Hey, one more beer over here!
What about Blondie over there?
What's he to you?
Seems like he's not just a friend.
Krishna:
Don't be so rude, Messer!
You see, he's-
Joe:
Krishna!
Krishna:
What?
Joe:
Remember where we are.
Krishna:
Ah-
Messer:
Hmph, you're acting like he's so important.
Rea:
Messer, I'm gonna head home before you if you don't mind.
I'd rather not hang around with these stuck-up bastards.
Messer:
Wait, Rea!
Are you trying to make a fool out of me?
Stay here!
Rea:
Tch, hmph...
Messer:
This is Rea Seias.
She's a friend I hang around with a lot.
Krishna:
Messer, just what have you been up to?
Messer:
Well... lots of things.
If you've got just a bit of sense,
then there's any number of jobs.
Krishna:
Can you get a job looking like that?
With all those chains.
It's not fashionable nowadays.
Messer:
Ha ha ha.
When you're in trouble,
you just smash this into your opponents face.
You'll break the bones in his nose with one blow.
Krishna:
Oh, so that's the sort of work you've been doing.
Messer:
Ha ha ha.
Affranchi:
Messer, have you always lived on this colony?
Messer:
Yeah, what of it?
Affranchi:
How have things been here recently?
Since the crackdown on Metatron,
has the atmosphere of this town changed?
Messer:
Grenze will always be Grenze.
Occasionally MaHA's goons come around,
and haul in some guy they find staggering about,
It's no use.
At any rate, there's so many people gathered here.
You couldn't count them all.
Oh, I see... That's it.
You're with Metatron, right?
Rea:
Huh?
Messer:
Krishna, you too?
Krishna:
Y-yes...
Messer:
Ha ha ha, this is just great!
Krishna's with Metatron, huh?
That little girl who cried her eyes out when her
mom ran away with her new man is reforming society with Metatron?
Joe:
Hey!
Don't talk to her like that.
Messer:
What?
Joe:
I'm telling you not to make fun of Krishna.
Messer:
Oh?
You're going to talk to the Messer Mett like that?
Affranchi:
Messer, for these past three years,
Krishna has been living earnestly, wanting to do something
about our conflict-filled world.
You don't have the right to make fun of her way of life.
Messer:
Is working for Metatron really that admirable?
Affranchi:
It's not a question of whether it is or not.
Messer:
Shut up!
Are you trying to tell me off?
Who do you think you are!?
Affranchi:
A foolish man who knew nothing about the world.
Messer:
What?
Affranchi:
But you know.
So why don't you try to do anything about it?
Are you happy as long as you can have fun every day?
Why don't you try to tackle more important things!?
Messer:
Is that all you wanted to say!?
Krishna:
Stop it!
Affranchi isn't like you.
He's a valuable person!
Messer:
Oh, so he's your man then!?
Krishna:
You idiot!
Why is that the only thing you can think of!?
Rea:
Messer, it's MaHA!
Messer:
We're getting out of here!
Soldier:
This is MaHA Unit 03.
Joe:
Let's get out of here.
Krishna:
Affranchi, hurry up!
Affranchi:
Yeah.
Soldier:
We will consider those who resist to be Metatron and take them in.
I repeat:
This is MaHA Unit 3.
Joe:
Tear gas!?
Krishna, this way! Hurry!
Krishna:
Where's Affranchi!?
Affranchi!
Affranchi:
Krishna... Joe...
My eyes... My eyes hurt...
Affranchi:
Krishna, Joe, where are you?
I lost sight of them...
Where am I?
This isn't Grenze, is it?
I can hardly see.
Because I was caught in that smoke before...
Affranchi:
Argh!
Marisa:
Hold on!
Dargol:
Lt. Nadis.
Marisa:
I-I apologize, Captain.
He appeared so suddenly...
Dargol:
We should call an ambulance.
Affranchi:
I can't... go to the hospital...
Take me... Take me to the port...
