Come on it's an easy question so answer it
What the hell is it you want to do
I want to become a member of the scouts
And slaughter every Titan that crosses my path
Well played
All right then I'll take responsibility for him
Let the higher-ups know what's going on
Not that I implicitly trust him of course
It's more a matter of me trusting myself to deal with him
Kill him if I have to
The bigwigs aren't likely to raise a stake
My record more than speaks for itself I'm pretty sure
Good news Yaeger
You're now officially a member of the scouts
Hey you think it's true? there's a Titan fighting on our side now ?
When did you start believing everything you heard more likely the recapture plan failed
And now refugees from wall Rose are gonna start flooding in here
And once those people swarm us our supplies will run out in a matter of days
Wait so if the wall Rose people really do have a Titan with them
You don't think they'd be crazy enough to bring him in here, do you?
Hey have you heard the good news
The military has a Titan on the team
Can you believe it?
Who knows? we might even be able to retake wall Maria
Finally humanity has a savior
[Nile Dok]: Savior huh?
Since the dawn of history commoners have always been a rash lot (simple-minded)
These rumors get any more out of control have a revolt on her hands
[Nile]: Not today, this so-called savior we will make an example out of him
I'll be damned if he's allowed to join the Survey Corps
Form ranks
All hail to the premier
[Dallas Zachary]: Damn hot day
Commander Pixis you're the C.O. of the garrison regiment
And I'm the commanding officer of the survey corps in the scouts
Some people might disapprove of our meeting like this
You're as straight-laced as your reputation
Nothing untoward here
We just coincidentally bumped into one another while out for a morning stroll
Protocol doesn't prevent us from chatting under the circumstances
You are aware of the military police plan to take custody of Eren Yeager I presume
Yes I received word yesterday
They plan to hold a deliberation on the matter
The decision has been left to premier Zachary
Whether cadet Yeager's future lies with the scouts or in the hands of the military police
Zachary?
You mean premiere Dallas Zachary?
The military police, the garrison Regiment and the scouts
All three fall under his jurisdiction
His decision will be based entirely on one factor
Is Eren Yeager's existence a benefit or a handicap to our survival?
If deemed detrimental Yaeger will be executed without a thought
Right then and there if need be
I for one do not want to see him die
However many in the garrison regiment I'm sad to say, are fearful of Eren's unique ability
My hands are tied the most I can do is avoid agreeing with the MP's
Do the odds favor you? (are you usually lucky?)
No they don't
And yet we do have a proposal prepared
Whether it will work or not all depends on how the debate unfolds
You mean you're going to play it by ear
Our job is reconnaissance beyond the walls
Playing things by ear is all we ever do
You are not so uptight after all it would seem
Thank you for the pleasant conversation
And good luck commander
A debate over Eren? what for?
I'm not really sure but it might be about what they plan to do with him
And what does that mean
It means...
They may not let him live
Cadet Mikasa Ackerman and cadet Armin Arlert up to!
Sir!
You're ordered to attend and act as witnesses are today's deliberation
Excuse me I gotta pee
No you just went
Then can I have some water
Hey
You're not getting a thing, got it? (damn monster)
Monster
I guess he's not too far off the mark there
Frightened of me or not though
I don't deserve this
Except how can I blame him
I don't even understand what's going on
On the bright side at least these guards haven't tried to kill me yet
What I think back they weren't afraid of me
Even after everything they'd seen
I wonder what they're doing now
And all the others
I wonder what happened to them
Just hang on a little longer Eren we'll keep trying to sort all this out
I've been in here so long
What's been happening outside these bars
I'm...I'm not going to spend the rest of my life like this, Am I?
So then you're Eren
Are you well?, how are things? I'm really sorry you've been waiting so long
But here's your chance to finally get out
One thing you'll have to put these on for me okay?
My name is Zoe Hanji I'm a section commander for the scouts
this is a fellow commander in the scouts Mike Zacharias
Oh don't mind him he makes a habit of giving new people a thorough sniff
Tends to laugh through his nose a bit but I don't think he intends it to be derisive
Quirk aside he is a skilled section commander
Sorry I've just been prattling on with a small talk and now we're here
Well I'm sure it's fine it's probably better if I don't explain anything
Hey hold on
It might seem callous but remember
We've all put our faith in you Eren
Best of luck
[Eren]: Wait
A courthouse?
I was in the basement of a courthouse this whole time?
Alright, Move it
On your knees, now
Why are all these people here just staring at me
Somebody gotta explain what the hell is going on
My friends!
All right shall we begin
Your name is Erin Yeager
And as a soldier you have sworn to give up your life when called to
For the good of the people is that correct
Yes
As an enlisted soldier during a time of war
Military doctrine demands your tribunal be held as a court-martial
As commander of our armed forces this matter has left to my discretion
Thus I will decide
Whether you live or you die
I knew it
Any objections?
No sir
Your astuteness is appreciated
let us proceed
As expected covering up your existence has proven quite fruitless
And unless we publicly disclose your existence one way or another
We risk the outbreak of widespread civil unrest
A choice must be made
And the regiment that takes custody of you will determine your fate
The military police...
Or the Scout regiment
To begin, the military police will now present their case
Thank you, my name is Nile Duck I am Commander of the military police
Our recommendation following a thorough examination of his physiology
Subject Eren Yeager should be disposed of immediately
We acknowledge that Yeager's ability played a part in turning back the latest Titan incursion
However as has been stated his mere existence is creating a swell of rebellious sentiment
For the greater good, after we have gathered all the information that we can from him
We would see him made a fallen warrior of humanity
Unacceptable
This verminous feed has defiled the mighty wall heav-
Another deranged wall cultist
[Eren]: Five years ago everyone ignored them now they've actually got some cloud ([Dallas Zachary]: Pastor Nick, please remain quit)
Now I'd like to hear the Scout regiments proposed plan
Yes sir
As the commander of the survey Corps
I Erwin Smith propose the following
Let Eren join our ranks reinstate him as a full member of the scouts
And we will utilize his Titan ability to retake wall Maria
That is all
Is that it?
Yes
With his assistance sir I'm certain we can reclaim wall Maria
Ergo I believe our top priority is perfectly clear
Quite bold
Assuming you were given clearance
Where do you plan to launch this operation from?
Commander Pixis the wall in Trost's district has been completely sealed, is that correct?
Yes, I doubt it's gate will ever open again
We'll depart from Calanes district to the east
From there we'll make for Shiganshina
A new route can be established as we proceed
But that's ridiculous our time and money would be better spent sealing up all the gates
They're the only parts of the wall that the colossal Titan can break right?
let's reinforce the blasted things and wash our hands of the entire affair
Shut your mouth you spineless merchant dog
With a Titan on our side we can finally return to wall Maria
We can't afford any more of your childish antics or your delusions of grandeur
Squealing louder won't help your case, pig
While we're bolstering our defenses do you think the Titans are going to stand idly by?
And when you say "we" can't afford do you speak for anyone other than your fat merchant friends?
Do you pigs even realize that most of our people are struggling just to survive off what little land we have left
I'm simply saying that sealing the gates is the only guaranteed protection we've got
Hold your tongue you vile belligerent heretic
Are you really suggesting that we lowly humans diddle with wall Rose that gift to us from on high?
The wall is a miracle and it's divinity transcends human comprehension
don't you understand humanity must not alter th- ([Armin]: it's that cult's fault)
They're the ones who delayed the garrisons arming of the walls
That shows you the sick amount of support and power they've got, I don't trust them at all
Such sacrilege
Oh you're insane shut your trap
How dare you?
Order!
I ask that you save your personal sentiments for a more appropriate venue
Now then Mr.Yeager I have a question for you?
As a soldier you have made a solemn pledge to answer humanity's call
Can you still serve by controlling your ability
yes, I will sir
Oh! is that so?
But this report from the battle of trust contradicts that statement
Just after transforming
it seems you made an attempt to crush mikasa ackerman
He doesn't even remember
She completely lost control
What'd you expect? you want me to lie in the report?
Glossing over that important fact could potentially spell disaster for us all
And who is this Mikasa Ackerman?
Me, that would be me sir
All right then, is it true that Eren Yeager assaulted you while he was in Titan form
Answer the premier honestly, Eren's future depends on it
Yes all of that's true
I knew it, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing
I...I tried to kill Mikasa?
What's happening to me?
However, he also saved my life twice before
And in each circumstance he was using his Titan ability
The first shortly after Trost fell
I was nearly killed by a Titan but then Eren came he stepped in and protected me
The second time he transformed to shield Armin and me from cannon fire
I implore you to take these facts into consideration
Objection!
I have reason to believe that personal feelings play a large part in her testimony
let the record show that Mikasa Ackerman was orphaned at a young age
and was subsequently taken in by the Yeager family
What's more our own internal investigation into this matter
Led to a most shocking discovery
Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman at the tender age of nine
Dealt with three adult kidnappers by stabbing all of them to death
Granted this was done in self-defense
All the same, one cannot help but question the violent nature of the act
Knowing all of this, should we really invest in him?
Money, manpower, perhaps the very fate of us all
Maybe he's a Titan that snuck in here and taking a form of some little child
Maybe she's one
I bet she's not human either
Yeah you're right dissect her too just to be safe
Now hold on a second, maybe I'm a monster that you want dead
But you leave her out of this
She is innocent
- Like we trust you [Eren]: It's the truth
She must be one if you protect her
[Eren]: Stop it
You're wrong
About it all
But you're so intent on pushing selfish agendas you're blind to what's in front of you
Wait what do you mean ?
What does it even matter (what am I saying)
None of you have even seen a Titan
So why are you so afraid huh
(maybe I should just keep quiet)
(no, if they want to kill me I'll let them know exactly what I think)
There's no sense in having power if you're not going to use it to fight
If you're just scared to fight for your lives fine, let me do it
You you're all cowards
Just shut up!
And put all your faith in me
-Take aim damn it -Right, yes sir
Mikasa wait
You know personally I think nothing instills discipline like pain
You don't need a good talking-to
What you're in need of boys is to be taught a lesson
And you happen to be in perfect kicking position
Hold on Levi
What is it it's?
It's dangerous
What if he gets angry turns into a Titan
Don't be silly
After all you guys just want to dissect him don't you?
During the time that he was transformed
They say that Yeager was able to kill 20 Titans before he finally ran out of strength
As an enemy his intelligence makes him all the more dangerous
But I could still take him down without a problem
How many of you can say the same
Before you torment the Beast you better think
Can you actually kill him?
Sir, I have a proposition
Proceed
There's still too much we don't know and no doubt his danger will be ever-present
As such I suggest this :
Eren Yeager be placed under Captain Levi's supervision
And will conduct a recon mission outside of the wall
Yeager will join you in this excursion ?
Yes sir, and you can look upon the missions results yourself
And if he successfully controls his ability
Eren will have proven his value to mankind
Eren Yeager will be closely supervised
And if he should lose control ?
I can definitely kill him if it comes to that
The only downside is
There's absolutely no middle ground
Then I have made my choice
Well that went better than I expected
-Does it hurt? -Yeah
Yeah? describe it to me
[Erwin]: Sorry for all that but the theatrics did get you placed in our custody
No, I understand
I can assure you the pain was worth it
We played our trump card at the perfect time
You have my utmost respect
Eren I'm glad that you're on our team
Me too, glad to be here, sir
- So Eren - Sir?
You don't resent me now, do you?
No, I can see that what you did was necessary sir
Good then you understand
Still don't you think you went too far
I mean you knocked his tooth out
you picked it up? how disgusting
This is a precious sample we have *
Hey, just be glad people like that aren't dissecting you
Don't you dare compare me with them
I would never even dream of killing him
Hey Eren let me take a look inside that mouth of yours
You tooth...it grew back
After achieving his long-held dream of joining the elite Scout regiment
Eren finds the vaunted Scouts are an eccentric band of soldiers and searchers
A haven for oddballs misfits and iconoclasts
