"Dreamer A Sangvis High-End Model."
M4A1 and the other members of her team
"Dreamer A Sangvis High-End Model." retreat after being caught in Dreamer's trap.
Meanwhile, AR15 realizes that
the changes that occurred to her are due to a Sangvis virus,
and renews her resolve to fight on alone.
This doesn't make sense.
Why reveal your location?
It's obviously a trap.
That's no new weapon.
The artillery that attacked our base is aiming for you!
Guess you're not as crazy as Destroyer says.
And you're not as cold as the data says.
I suppose I should give you credit for your courage in coming here,
instead of running away.
You're still worth using.
AR15, you've been chosen.
I won't betray the first people to accept me.
Do you understand, M4?
I... hated you.
Kalina, how long are we going to be kept waiting here?
I can't say right now.
What is bothering Master so much?
Nothing's bothering me.
I just think that even if we have backups,
it's better to be careful with how we operate our dolls.
"Operate"? You're starting to get the language right.
So, I heard Helian sent you a support team to help find AR15.
Who told you?
My sweet honey angel.
What's their name?
"Squad Negev."
Tavor, where are we?
No idea.
She's turned off her radar to keep us from tracking her signal.
But how do we stop AR15 from escaping?
We were lucky to find these footprints!
We can handle any number of Sangvis.
I'm a combat specialist, after all!
Galil, what is that?
A planetarium, probably.
Oh, for seeing the stars!
You two, stop standing and keep moving!
Victory is within our grasp!
Our team captain's always so cheerful.
I'm the latest model, and I'm still impressed.
March on! March on!
What's wrong?
You seem down, M4.
Footprints were found nearby.
We'll see her soon.
And when we do, what then?
If we tell her to come home, will she?
And then will everything go back to normal?
M4...
She's not that complicated.
There's probably a bad connection in one of her parts.
A few good thwacks, and she'll be good as new.
Is that how it works?
Yeah. I'm the one saying it, and I would know.
You'll never find her if you keep staring at the ground.
Raise your head up and let's look for her together.
Right.
This is it?
This isn't a base, it's a campground.
No complaining.
Galil, stand watch at the rear.
Sure thing.
Uzi and the rest of you, inspect your weapons.
On it!
We can't leave until we find AR15.
16LAB's dolls will recover her.
I'm aware.
First, let's request reinforcements.
We can't go any further alone.
What's wrong, Tavor?
That's strange.
The transmitter module is giving me an error.
It's not working. I can't use this at all.
Tavor!
What was that?
Was that Parapluie?
I don't know.
So close.
Three more seconds, and I could've touched that pretty throat of yours.
So you're the one jamming our comms.
What do you want?
Nothing. I just followed the smell of unripe fruit.
Oh, yuck.
Captain Negev!
My name is Alchemist.
I'll tell you the rest...
...when I'm ripping apart your bodies.
Ew...
Everyone, we're pulling out from this base!
There are too many enemies here!
We'll fall back to that planetarium and wait for reinforcements.
Galil, we'll draw the Sangvis away.
You retreat to an area outside the jamming radius via another route!
And then report to our commander!
I'm counting on you!
R-Roger!
Let's go!
Commander, Squad Negev went silent 20 minutes ago.
A moment ago, we picked up a distress signal from one of their members.
I suggest we change our plan.
Let's meet up with them, see what's going on, and then provide support if necessary.
How bad's the jamming in that area?
There are several areas where we can communicate with you.
But most of the zone is jammed by Sangvis.
Got it.
After you find out what's going on, you are to report to me.
No making decisions on your own.
But, then...
You have your orders, M4A1.
Roger that.
Um, I'll get reinforcements ready, okay?
Please.
We're here!
This is where the SOS came from!
Squad Negev should be here.
But they're not.
I followed the signal!
Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!
A-AR Team?
That's right!
Come on out!
Whew. There were Sangvis here a moment ago.
Think about where you call for help.
Don't pick a front-line area that's crawling with enemies.
The area where we were attacked was cut off by jamming.
I was trying to find the first place I could contact you!
Give me a break.
Can you tell me what's going on?
Attack! Attack!
Save your ammo! We don't know when reinforcements will arrive.
We're lucky this place is sturdier than we thought!
But there's far more of them than there are of us.
There's little time.
I'm counting on you, Galil.
There are a shit-ton of enemies out there, and our comms are jammed.
I don't know what's going on at the planetarium.
Alchemist, huh?
We can't handle a Ringleader on our own.
But if we go back to report to the commander, we may not make it in time!
Y-You can't!
Everybody's waiting for you!
Let's split up.
Big Sis M16, get back to an area where you can contact the base,
and have Commander Gentiane send reinforcements.
SOPII and I will go on ahead.
Galil, lead us there.
Leave it to me!
What, you're letting me get the scolding?
I'm sorry, but we need to attack Sangvis,
and distract them from Squad Negev as much as we can.
I know.
Good luck.
Let's hurry.
They're hanging in there.
It'll be interesting to see how much longer they last.
They just keep coming!
Don't they know when to give up?
I thought this mission was going to be easier!
About that...
Negev, what do you think about AR15, the T-Doll that vanished?
I feel bad for her. That's all.
She was unknowingly fed the Parapluie program
and forced to leak the location of the base.
She probably fled out of regret, but...
It would take a strong T-Doll to be able to do that.
What about it?
If it was just an information leak,
then it's not as scary as the rumors say, but...
Is there any need to bring in a T-Doll that made a mistake like that alive?
AR Team was developed by 16LAB.
And they can't do anything to make 16LAB look bad.
Also, their neural clouds are a little different.
When they die, it's really over for them.
But is Helian really using all these personnel just to find a single traitor?
Negev?
They're already right on top of us.
Prepare to seal the corridors.
We'll seal ourselves in the planetarium hall.
I'll show you how a specialist fights!
We made contact with Squad Negev,
but M4 and SOPII have gone on ahead to rescue them.
They were supposed to talk to me first.
Sorry.
So, I want you to look at the data Galil shared.
How are there so many?
There's a lot, right?
Too many.
Even with Alchemist there as Ringleader, one Sangvis couldn't control that many.
So there's a base somewhere that's controlling some remotely?
Yes.
I'm looking at what I think might be it.
I'm not being jammed right now,
which means if you sent reinforcements, we could probably take it.
If we can take it down and cause some chaos,
that'll make life a lot easier for Negev and M4.
What do you think?
Fine. Sending reinforcements.
I appreciate it.
I'll be waiting.
Kalina, tell G36's team to get out there.
Right, Commander!
There are just too many.
Ammo! Anyone have ammo left?
That's not good.
Did Galil make contact with base?
Do they think we've already been wiped out?
We can see Sangvis firing,
but nothing coming from Negev.
Did we not make it in time?
No... that's not true!
Either way,
with so many there, I'm not certain we could help.
M4, this is M16.
Do you read?
Big Sis M16? How are you able to contact me?
I took out a Sangvis base.
Any change in the dolls near you?
Over half are having functionality problems.
I can see that many have shut down entirely.
Guess I was right.
How's Squad Negev?
Right now, we don't know.
Fine, M4.
Commander!
I'm sending reinforcements.
You stay there.
But Commander, if Squad Negev is still inside, there's no time to waste!
Alchemist is still unharmed, right?
I can't let you fight her without reinforcements.
There are no replacements for you.
Can we head in when the reinforcements arrive?
I promise.
Th-Then we'll be fine!
Our captain's a combat specialist!
And Tavor and Uzi are both really strong!
Galil...
What?
What is it, M4?
I don't know.
I'm seeing light from the planetarium where Squad Negev's holed up.
It's flashing.
Flashing?
Can you send me your visual data?
Yes.
That's...
Morse code.
Morse code?
Negev Team's sending a message.
Soldiers in the military are required to memorize Morse code
so they can use it to communicate when other means aren't available.
"S-q-u-a-d u-n-h-u-r-t."
Squad unhurt?
They're alive!
Commander, over half the Sangvis are inoperative.
And Squad Negev still survives.
We can launch a pincer attack with them and M4's team.
This is our one chance.
Commander!
AR Team, you are permitted to link up with Squad Negev.
Right!
But you are only to distract the enemy.
Maintain distance from Alchemist.
Roger.
G36, move to M4's coordinates.
Understood, Master.
Thank you, Commander!
Thanks!
I owe you one, Commander!
They're all such selfish girls.
You're gonna be stuck with them a long time.
Do you think they saw it?
I don't know, but we did what we could!
Something happened to the Sangvis!
Half of them stopped moving!
And we're getting support fire from far back in the rear!
Could it be help?
Of course everything worked out! I'm here!
Be grateful to me!
Yup!
I won't show any mercy just because the enemy's obsolete!
Negev!
I wasn't expecting the Sangvis Ringleader to run that easy.
Be careful. She might be planning something!
It's fine!
M16 will be here soon!
If we just had AR15 back, it would be perfect.
Where is she?
It's almost like she's avoiding us!
I am avoiding you.
You always make a mess of things.
AR15?
M16 told you so many times to watch out, or you could be ambushed like this.
You never change.
AR15, what are you doing?
I'm pretending to have a tearful reunion.
Commander Gentiane, M4 and SOPII vanished.
What do you mean?
Did they make contact with Negev?
No, the two of them split off from Galil just before they met up.
Hello? M16? Commander? Can you hear me?
I found SOPII.
Negev? Were you able to contact them?
No. All I found was SOPII's signal.
I have nothing on M4!
I'll send the coordinates now!
That's close.
Commander, can I head there?
Be careful.
A huge number of Sangvis just appeared out of nowhere in that area.
Alchemist is back?
There were far more than Alchemist has the authority to command.
That's strange. There are no other enemy bases in the area.
Their actions are chaotic.
I don't know what they're after.
If they're not after us,
we should be okay.
Commander, I'm heading to SOPII after all.
G36's group will meet with Negev. How about that?
Permission granted.
Just get me information on M4 and SOPII as fast as you can.
Yeah. I know.
I'll search the database
for Ringleaders besides Alchemist who could be in command there.
Thanks.
Things have gotten complicated.
Yeah. But more than that...
Huh?
Something's bothering me.
It's like something's hiding on the other side of this map.
You awake?
Who are you?
The one who's come to get you.
Why?
Sheesh... You are a handful.
I'm going to bring you to meet the others.
Your friends are waiting.
Friends?
There are no candidates in my memory module
who meet the definition of "friend".
Does that mean I still don't have any friends?
Then I'll be your first friend.
Sheesh... This sucks.
You're AR15?
You know me?
The weapon you carry matches the one in my memory module.
I see.
You don't look happy.
That's not true.
Being your friend was my first order.
Showing a positive attitude is part of that order.
But if you're happy, shouldn't you smile?
Then order me.
If you order me, I'll do it.
You want me to order you?
If there's anything you want me to do, just give the order.
You have the authority.
Everything was prepared for your coming.
Wake up, M4A1.
SOPII! Wake up!
SOPII!
M16? Where's M4?
I only saw you here.
What happened?
We were together a moment ago.
But we found AR15, and then...
You were attacked?
Do you remember what they were like?
Of course I remember!
M16! I just don't understand anymore!
M16, are you still there?
Yeah. I linked up with SOPII.
I just got a new order from Helian.
What kind of order?
To call off the search for AR15.
The situation is extremely dangerous.
All Griffin T-Dolls within the S09 area are to leave immediately!
Can you stand?
