00:08Is Branya really safe?
00:16You care about her, huh?
00:18You must have become close friends.
00:21Close is a bit much.
00:24But I made her a promise.
00:28Relax.
00:30She's the strongest girl I've ever seen.
00:36Oh, they've jacked up security, all right.
00:39How the heck are we going to sneak in?
00:41Serval, we need one of those brainwaves.
00:44Leave it to me.
00:45Stick close, guys, and don't get spotted.
00:51This is a military base.
00:54Trespassers aren't allowed in.
00:55Wait, isn't that...
00:57Ha! Serval!
00:59Long time no see.
01:01Well, if it isn't Franz.
01:03Long time no see.
01:04You're still watching the entrance?
01:07Well, you see, you haven't changed, Serval.
01:11Still nailing us to the wall.
01:13So, what brings you over here at this hour?
01:16And who are the guys behind you?
01:18My brother said the restricted zone energy lines were malfunctioning.
01:21Told me it was urgent.
01:23He doesn't trust those contracted maintenance workers, so he got me in for free.
01:29These guys are my assistants.
01:30We need to overhaul all the installations here.
01:33Uh, I didn't hear anything about the energy lines malfunctioning.
01:37Oh, please.
01:38This is a technology division issue.
01:40Why would they tell you guys?
01:42Come on, let us in already.
01:45If the heating system goes down in the middle of the night, are you going to be responsible
01:48for all the frozen corpses?
01:50No.
01:51That's, uh, not something I can handle.
01:55Seeing as you're Captain Jappard's sister, it should be fine.
01:59Okay, here are some temporary passes.
02:01Oh, and remember to give them back to me when you leave.
02:04Thanks, Franz.
02:05I'll put in a good word for you with my brother and get him to promote you.
02:09No, no.
02:10Captain Jappard hates all that under-the-table stuff.
02:13I'd have a better chance if you don't mention me at all.
02:16Come on!
02:34See?
02:35That was easy.
02:37You're Jappard's sister, all right.
02:41I don't want people to see me that way.
02:45Do you see that mechanical gear bridge?
02:47When you cross over to the other side, you arrive at hell on earth.
02:53They do.
02:55The Architects believe that hell can exist on any world.
02:58A plight that will inevitably come to be without intervention.
03:03In the future, a terrible catastrophe will arrive.
03:06If, under Klopoth, the preservation's guidance, we fail to construct a barrier,
03:11that catastrophe will sweep away the stars, plunging all worlds into hell.
03:17That's the belief of the Architects.
03:19But for us, hell is an endless fragmentum, a few exhausted silvermane guards, and the stench of death in the
03:28air.
03:28Sure. If we want to progress further north, we will need to cross that hell. Are you ready?
03:36Exactly. We've got nowhere left to retreat.
03:40Let's go, then.
03:41First, we need to think of a way to get to the other side.
03:44I helped set the underlying mechanisms for this type of gear bridge.
03:47It's controlled via different terminals in combination.
03:51Let's go find them.
03:53Is Jappard on frontline duty a lot?
03:57Yes, but what made you ask that all of a sudden?
04:02So dangerous. Don't you worry about...
04:07Nope. This terminal's offline. We can't control it from here.
04:11So what's the plan?
04:12Look for another.
04:13Every platform linked to the gear bridge should have a similar terminal.
04:17I never would have guessed that Jappard and you were brother and sister.
04:22I can't say I blame you.
04:24You're nothing alike in personality or interests.
04:46I don't know.
04:49You're welcome.
04:51Let's go.
05:27Darn! Can't activate it. It seems like someone severed the energy supply to the terminals.
05:35What are you talking about? I think the guards must have done this intentionally.
05:39With the front line on high alert, they must have rotated the bridge to make it impassable.
05:44Then they cut off the energy supply to the terminals to avoid accidental repositioning.
05:49Or to prevent deserters. That way, even if the front line were to collapse, the Fragmentum monsters wouldn't be able
05:56to make it to the other side.
06:03Darnia was right. The Silvermane guards really are risking their lives to protect Belobog.
06:10Just my conjecture. But I doubt it's far from the truth.
06:15My brother mentioned that they've had to use extreme measures to repel the Fragmentum monsters. Let's press on.
06:21We can't activate either of these terminals, so let's look for the energy supply installation itself.
06:51That's it! The thing's shaped like a giant iron ball.
06:54And it's behind a gate. What are the odds?
06:58Its formal name is the Mechanism Energy Hub. It's connected to all the energy lines.
07:03I would have thought it covers the entire restricted zone.
07:07No wonder it's so heavily guarded.
07:09One unit for everything? That's a disaster waiting to happen. We learned the hard way.
07:16As long as we can gain access permissions to the hub, we can operate the gear bridge terminals.
07:24That's why I told them we were here for urgent maintenance. The front line equipment needs servicing just as much
07:30as the rest.
07:30So that's why you went for maintenance. Way to go, Sir Vol! I thought you just came up with it
07:36on the spot.
07:37Come on. Let's see if that guard over there will let us pass.
07:52Yo! Evening, soldier.
07:54Are you the emergency engineers? I saw you guys hanging around. Did you find the problem?
08:01Not yet. Everything looks normal so far. I think the problem is stemming from the energy hub.
08:06If you let us in, we can do a routine service inspection.
08:09I've worked on various iterations of this type of installation.
08:13No, no, no, no.
08:15No can do.
08:16No one gets near the energy hub without the security captain's encryption key.
08:20Uh, not even the Supreme Guardian?
08:23The Supreme Guardian?
08:25Hey, no games, you hear?
08:27No dice without the encryption key.
08:30Darn, this guy's not stupid.
08:32You need the encryption key, right?
08:35Which captain should I bother, then?
08:38Captain Dunn's resting up ahead.
08:40Go and find him.
08:42If he grants you permission, I won't stand in your way.
08:47Dunn?
08:49Why didn't you say so?
08:51No problem, we'll be back in a bit.
09:14Hey, Dunn!
09:16It's been a while.
09:17I didn't know you made security, Captain.
09:20So, S-sur-au, it's been a long time.
09:23You're still so...
09:25you look good allow me to introduce my assistants to you they help me take care of business at the
09:30workshop everyone this is captain dunn an old friend of mine he used to be an ace on the keys
09:37in the band oh you play rock and roll too cool pleased to meet you
09:50hello oh what's that weird smell zachary how many days has it been since you showered
09:58i showered right before my shift what did you say i i haven't showered in two days sir

10:31get many chances to return to the city though i don't stand on ceremony how may i assist you
10:37if everything's in order you'd better head back to the city it's not safe here i've checked the
10:42lines there don't seem to be any major problems all that's left is the energy hub the guard over
10:48there said that i needed an encryption key to open the gate can you help me out
11:05anything wrong dunn sorry sir val but can you tell me what captain jappard told you
11:12huh oh uh let me think hey sis the energy supply lines in the restricted zone have malfunctioned
11:22those useless engineers can't find the problem something like that and may i ask when did he
11:29contact you uh this morning yeah that's right he's on urban patrol duty today right that's why
11:38he popped around didn't ask the favor uh-huh captain jappard just returned to the front line
11:45i could reconfirm with him huh hold up he's back that can't be he was still in the city a
11:54little
11:54while ago you haven't changed sir val you're still a lousy liar these people you've brought
12:01there they're not workshop assistants right sir val it's not that i don't want to help you
12:09but you should remember that i'm a bellobog silvermane guard how about this you can leave
12:15and i won't tell anyone about this incident but the outsiders must remain there goes the negotiation
12:31i brought you guys here and i'm standing with you till the end dunn this concerns the fate of
12:36felibog no the fate of our whole world please don't stand in our way sir val we used to rehearse
12:44together every day you must understand my rock and roll soul is to uphold the dignity of a soldier

14:17think nothing
14:28better up
14:29not you children favor the vigor of them
14:32combat is a series of precise machinations
14:43you still don't understand
14:45you know what another person is it's desire to be like a beast
14:48an unknown exception
14:50an unknown exception
14:53barely felt
14:54you've got a lot of nerve
15:00blade is right
15:08time for a shot
15:10here comes the medicine
15:11much obliged
15:13i'm okay
15:14time for a detailed overhaul
15:23all better now
15:26time for some sword play
15:34sir val
15:37why
15:38i'm sorry dun
15:39time for a little nap
15:42he's just unconscious
15:43don't worry
15:48stubborn fool
15:50strong though
15:51wildfire lacks people like him
15:54got it
15:54the encryption key
15:56quick before we attract attention let's
16:04i think we attracted attention
16:06that's the enemy attack alarm
16:09every silver main guard in the reserve zone just became our enemy
16:16we've made it up till now
16:18i could lose an arm and a leg for all i care
16:21i have to lay eyes on the stellar rock
16:23quick back to the energy supply hub
16:25anyone that tries to stop us is gonna fly
16:27if i'd known he had the encryption key
16:29can start
16:31i could've snuck it
