(13th Satellite Orbit Base, The Bunker)
AD 5012,
the prosperous history of human
(Earth, Moon) has suddenly come to an end.
(Earth, Moon) Aliens from outer space
(Aliens) massively invaded.
The weapons released by these aliens,
machine lifeforms, had caused the destruction of human civilization.
The few who survived
had to flee to the Moon for being alive.
AD 5204,
humans used Androids to launch counteroffensive operations
on a group of bases established in satellite orbit.
After more than a dozen large-scale airborne operations,
the humans still failed to deliver a decisive blow to the enemy.
Now the war is in a stalemate.
That's what YoRHa force is here for.
I hope you can play the role of the ultimate war weapon.
Yes, sir.
May your success in fighting.
May human glory last forever.
(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)
What's the matter, 2B?
Nothing.
Target location is confirmed and marked on the map.
The plant overgrowth is quite severe here.
It must have been a megacity.
Hmm.
The central area is quite severely covered with plants.
And the size is quite enormous.
Information: After humans retreated to the Moon,
plant gigantism has been confirmed.
(City Ruins)
Maybe there are giant boars.
Report: Many machine lifeforms are approaching.
2B, there are hostile reactions.
Go for it, Ninez.
Leave your back to me.
Okay.
The Lunar Human Council.
To all Androids struggling on the Earth,
the war between us and machine lifeforms
is currently at a deadlock.
Under this prolonged war,
you all must be exhausted.
I hope you can continue to fight.
Reclaiming the Earth is a long-cherished wish of hundreds of thousands of humans on the Moon.
May human glory last forever.
Oh my.
The broadcast of the Human Council is always that decent, right?
Don't complain.
Okay.
Answering once is enough.
Okay.
By the way, when this investigative mission is over,
I wonder when I'll be able to work with you again.
No idea.
You can check with the Bunker.
But so what if we implement the mission together?
As a scanner model, I mainly conduct preliminary investigations on my own at local places,
so it's nice to have someone to do it together.
I am happy.
We are forbidden to have emotions.
Sorry, I accidentally…
Just a reminder.
The Pod collection spot mentioned in the commission is right up front.
Let's get there, 2B.
Hmm.
Do you want us to help look for a missing friend?
I'm afraid we can't.
You are the latest models of YoRHa, right?
To be exact, we are the latest models.
That means you're strong and excellent.
In that case…
Wait, listen to me.
That's not part of our investigation mission.
That's right. I knew it.
This red cloak
was also given by my friend.
What if she encounters anything bad, I…
Don't worry.
It seems she is in trouble.
Shall we let her tell us more, 2B?
Up to you.
Just know more details.
And then see if there are any clues to find the person.
Clues?
In a place with some distance from here,
there's a broken Pod,
in which we might find some clues.
Pod?
The Resistance is not supposed to take action with Pods.
Is your friend from YoRHa force?
I don't know.
I was caught in an explosion during a massive battle
with a machine lifeform a while back,
so there's a connection malfunction in my memory.
It must be hard for you.
There are many machine lifeforms from enemy
in the Pod's location.
As long as you get there and eliminate them all first,
I will catch up.
Could you do it, please?
I got it.
I'll find that Pod.
Wonderful, thank you.
D-Don't do that. Please let go.
Have I seen you before?
No.
After all, there are many similar models of YoRHa.
- 2B, this is force majeure. - Is that so?
But what is the connection
between the Resistance lady and YoRHa?
I'm really curious, 2B.
2B?
Are you thinking
that even if that Resistance lady is a beauty,
I shouldn't show too much kindness to her?
2B, you are much prettier than her.
And compared to the mature type, I…
Think about it, it also involves the Pod.
It's kind of part of the investigation mission.
Are you being jealous?
No, not at all.
Moreover, including this time,
- luckily it's all about the investigation. - She's pissed off absolutely.
- You like to meddle in irrelevant matters. - What should we do now? Right.
Wasting time on something like this.
Humans give presents to please women.
That's the trick.
She is gone.
2B, excuse me, can I ask you something?
Is there anything you want?
I suddenly want to give you a present.
I don't know why.
But giving presents is meaningless.
It's different from the information.
No.
I just wanted to thank you for taking care of me.
We are forbidden to have thoughts.
Oh my!
Listen to me, 2B.
She is indeed from the YoRHa force.
Did the machine lifeforms kill her?
Even the Pod is not spared.
Could it be the enemy capable of restraining the YoRHa force?
Start scanning records of the accompanying support device.
Scanning completed.
Due to severe damage,
only the last activity record can be played.
This red cloak is…
It is me
who killed her?
Wait.
Why would you do so?
I…
The real me is Model E.
YoRHa Model E.
YoRHa?
YoRHa force?
Model E is designed to destroy deserters and spies in force,
so it is the Executioner Model.
Executioner Model?
Disguise myself, get close to the traitor and kill them.
There have been times
when I pretended to be a friend or lover of someone before killing them.
Calm down. Let's contact the Bunker…
The souls of the Androids I've killed…
Be careful! If you step back, you'll…
All I can do is
to pray that they've gone to heaven.
Ninez.
I couldn't save her.
YoRHa Model E.
2B, have you heard of it before?
Some things are better not to know, right?
2B, her actions could be
the result of a viral infection.
May I check it?
Okay.
Model E. The Executioner Model…
Be careful.
At that time, 2B didn't move at all.
The Bunker holds other secrets.
(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)
2B, sorry, I'm late.
It's okay. I just arrived too.
Any additional commands from the command center?
It's not about this investigation. It's another combat command.
By the way,
why would they send a Battler like you
to a place like this on an investigation mission?
Don't doubt the command.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I see.
This place seems to be a religious facility known as the Shrine.
Humans lived here a long time ago,
but it was later used as a shrine.
Pod, any reaction?
Report: No hostility or other reactions in the building.
Weird.
According to the command center's investigation,
a weak reaction has been confirmed.
I thought there must be some kind of machine lifeform or Android.
Let's go deeper to check it out!
According to records,
this place appears to have been built thousands of years ago,
with rooms of unknown purpose.
There are also signs that there was once power here.
It's quite intriguing, 2B.
Focus on the investigation.
Okay.
This is…
This hall looks suspicious.
But there is no particular reaction.
Is it a human object?
Kind of like the currencies in the record.
2B,
are you sure we should investigate this place?
A mail received.
You are right.
Seems to be a miscommunication.
The command center makes mistakes occasionally.
Let's go.
The destination has been marked on the map.
Wait for me, 2B.
Is this the destination?
It looks like the ruins of a commercial facility.
According to records,
(Commercial Facility Ruins) This looks like a place called the Department Store.
If we were human,
would we enjoy shopping here?
Assumptions are meaningless.
2B, you're so serious.
However,
it seems that the ruins of humans
are suitable for living together.
It's hard to survive alone.
For stable and long-term activities,
humans require the strength of other individuals.
So do we.
Only one cannot survive alone.
Only one…
Well,
2B, do you also need me?
Just kidding.
Warning,
hostile reaction from machine lifeforms detected directly above.
This guy doesn't seem to launch an active attack, right?
But it has a hostile reaction.
Why?
It doesn't matter.
Where is this?
What's going on?
Who are you guys?
Too suspicious. Let's destroy it, 2B.
Wait!
Destroy it.
No.
What exactly is that?
2B, why?
I failed.
Pod, NFC Mode 2.
Understood. NFC mode 2 released.
Mode 2?
Don't resist, Ninez.
I don't want you to suffer.
2B.
In close combat,
Model S can't defeat Model E.
Model E.
Hacking.
Why?
It is a countermeasure to punish Model S.
Punish? 2B is indeed…
9S was found to hack the main server and open the classified files.
As per regulations, you should eliminate 9S.
Can you do it, 2B?
No, 2E.
I
got it.
Only one cannot survive alone,
even YoRHa.
I won't apologize.
You can't move, right?
Now you look confused. You must be thinking, "My system wasn't hacked."
Do you remember the lady in the red cloak?
2B, her actions could be
the result of a viral infection.
May I check it?
I don't really want to do this.
But Model S can't win against Model E.
Goodbye, 2B.
It's been an honor
to work with you.
Report.
Virus analysis complete. Applying vaccine.
Pod, why?
Accompanying support mission for YoRHa 9S
was removed 94 seconds ago.
Finally…
It's finally coming to an end.
2B.
And No. 2…
You too.
Commander, I'm here to pick you up.
I-I'm so sorry.
It's alright, go ahead.
Moreover,
the reports sent back
by local investigation department unit 1 to 12 have been analyzed.
- Any problems? - None at the moment.
Good.
Have the investigation department continue controlling the enemy's air defense system
and disable it.
Then, to prevent the information leaks,
apart from emergencies,
no radio communication from the surface is allowed.
Yes.
Then, let us begin
the final battle.
(Chapter.13) (reckless bra[V]ery)
Pod 042 calling all humans.
Now let's start the mission to introduce the multiple endings of the game NieR: Automata.
Over.
(Puppet Show NieR: Automata Ninez)
Hi everyone, it's finally starting.
NieR: Automata Ver1.1a Season 2
This session is going to make some new changes.
What changes will be made?
2B, you have to start calling me Ninez.
Nine…
Nine?
What does "forever friend" mean, Mr. 9S?
It's about to get exciting.
So, one more time.
Nine…
Nine?
- What do I have to do to have a baby? - I don't know what "forever friend" means.
- I'm pissed off. - Tell us, please.
- I'm pissed off. - Or I couldn't sleep tonight.
(9S goes berserk, all machine lifeforms get wiped out couldn't with the Androids)
