00:28I'll see you next time.
00:52I'll see you next time.
01:28I'll see you next time.
01:41I'll see you next time.
01:42Hmm, it seems our information was correct.
01:46The new security measures indicate increased activity at the base.
01:51Do you think they're trying to put the shield back online?
01:54Perhaps, though Professor Algernon was certain he had sabotaged the system when he escaped.
02:00Who's that?
02:07A Neo-Mega.
02:08Do you think a Neo-Mega could get the shield working again?
02:11It is possible. They were created for their increased mental capacity.
02:15We'll never retake Venus if they get the shield operational.
02:19Get down!
02:28Draconis!
02:32Things are starting to get interesting.
02:38You're wasting your time. More important, you're wasting my time.
02:44Zenobius wasted my time with this useless invention, and received the proper reward for his failure.
02:51Do you plan on joining him in Lille?
02:54Zenobius did not invent the graph shield.
02:57It was designed by a Terran named Algernon.
03:00He sabotaged it before escaping from Venus.
03:03Yes? Algernon?
03:05Zenobius' assistant?
03:06The same Algernon who is now head of Exo-Fleet Scientific Research.
03:11Zenobius was only an Alpha Neo-Sapien, and not intelligent enough to understand the graph shield.
03:17But I am a Neo-Mega.
03:22I have undone Algernon's sabotage.
03:26The graph shield is now operational.
03:33The graph shield.
03:35We have to warn the Exo-Fleet.
03:37You fool!
03:38If you had kept the reactivation a secret, we might have used it to trap an invasion fleet.
03:42But that's impossible now.
03:44Exo-Fleet Reconnaissance teams have been active in this area for months.
03:50Draconis to defense control.
03:52Deploy all available E-frames.
03:54Search the perimeter.
04:02Uh-oh, we've got company.
04:04Quickly, back to the E-frame.
04:16I dropped the scanner.
04:21There's no time. Hurry!
04:26I have found something.
04:30Positive infrared images. Intruders still in the area.
04:34All E-frames converge on Sector 8.
04:38We've been spotted.
04:47Power up for stealth mode.
04:56Stealth activation circuits damaged.
05:10Halt!
05:11Or be destroyed.
05:14We don't surrender.
05:26That ought to even the odds.
05:27I'll take two to one against them.
05:32Let's get out of here while we can.
05:35I'm all for that.
05:36They're not going to let us go without a fight.
05:38Multiple bogeys.
05:39Close and fast!
05:45Creon to General Draconis.
05:47We are converging on the Exo-fleet E-frames.
05:52Engage the enemy, but do not destroy them until I arrive.
05:56General, you must order your E-frames to withdraw.
06:00Are you mad, Salast?
06:02The Terrans have learned about the Graf's shield.
06:04They must be eliminated.
06:05And you must do as I say.
06:09I am commanding General Avinus.
06:11You do not tell me what to do.
06:15My authority comes from Phaeton.
06:18You can be replaced by a general who knows how to follow orders.
06:25General Draconis de Creon.
06:27There's been a change in plans.
06:29Withdraw your E-frames.
06:30But we have them, Draconis.
06:32They cannot escape.
06:34You have your orders.
06:35Do not disobey.
06:36All E-frames, withdraw!
06:39Hey!
06:40They're turning back!
06:43They must have heard they were up against Wolf Bronski.
06:46Come on, we've got to tell JT about the Graf's shield.
06:49We had them, and you let them go.
06:51You had caught a mouse.
06:53I am after a much bigger game.
06:57You knew that Terrans had this base under their surveillance.
07:00Of course I knew.
07:02They are bait to catch the entire Exo fleet.
07:08The Neo-Sapiens have reactivated the Graf's shield on Venus.
07:12Then we'll have to take it out, fast!
07:14I sense the situation has changed.
07:17I got a coded message from Admiral Winfield while you were on recon.
07:20We're going on the offensive.
07:22They're coming.
07:23The whole fleet.
07:24We're gonna liberate Venus.
07:28But if the Graf's shield is operational, they'll all be destroyed.
07:34Admiral Winfield to the fleet.
07:36The moment has arrived to begin the reconquest of the homeworlds.
07:40Set course for Venus.
07:46Exo-Squad will be back in a moment.
07:50Now, back to Exo-Squad.
07:55Lieutenant Marsh reports that the Graf's shield on Venus may be reactivated.
08:00Is it possible they can get the shield working again?
08:04I've been studying the captured Neo-Mega Sulla.
08:08The Neo-Megas are of a higher order of intelligence than ordinary Neo-Sapiens.
08:13Not only are the Neo-Megas capable of understanding the Graf's shield,
08:17they may even be capable of improving it.
08:20Are you suggesting we cancel the invasion?
08:23With enough time, I can neutralize anything the Neo-Megas can devise.
08:28We don't have time on our side, Professor.
08:31We can't get caught in a technology race with the Neo-Sapiens now that they have the Neo-Megas.
08:38You understand the situation, Lieutenant?
08:40Yes, sir. I'll cancel all our recon assignments immediately.
08:44The invasion will proceed as planned, but you must knock out the Neo-Sapiens' Graf's shield.
08:49You can count on us, Admiral.
08:55Well, looks like we got our work cut out for us.
09:30General Draconis!
09:31Uh-huh.
09:31Uh-huh.
09:57General Draconis, we've received a report from one of our scout ships.
10:02Large numbers of exo-fleet and pirate ships have been detected between Mercury and Venus.
10:07An invasion fleet?
10:08Let us hope so.
10:22Welcome to the Resolute 2, Admiral.
10:28I hope it meets with your approval.
10:30I've never seen a better ship.
10:33I'm proud to make it my new flagship.
10:36What chance do the Neo-Sapiens have against such a ship?
10:50Ah, beautiful, isn't it?
11:07Now I know why you like it here so much.
11:09It was my home.
11:12And it will be again.
11:15All right, frame up.
11:17We've done the drill.
11:19Now let's do the real thing.
11:20We've done the drill.
11:25We've done the drill.
11:29We've done the drill.
11:32We've done the drill.
11:33We've done the drill.
11:35We've done the drill.
11:36We've done the drill.
11:37We've done the drill.
11:40We've done the drill.
11:40We've done the drill.
11:41We've done the drill.
11:42We've done the drill.
11:43We've done the drill.
11:43We've done the drill.
11:45We've done the drill.
11:48We've done the drill.
11:55I don't know.
12:42Come on! We can't let the Exofleet do all the work! This is Venus!
12:50We can't let the Exofleet do all the work!
13:03Bronski to Marsh! We're through the south perimeter!
13:06Keep him busy, Bronski! Maggie and I are going for the control center!
13:18Do what you gotta do, but hurry! These guys are gonna bring in their buddies soon!
13:39Good shooting, J.T.
13:43Yeah, just take this place apart before we have more visitors!
13:50This ought to take the Neos offline. Permanently!
13:53Make it quick, Mags!
13:57March to Admiral Winfield!
13:59This is Admiral Winfield. What's your situation, Lieutenant?
14:02We're preparing to destroy the Graf Shield control center!
14:05You've done your job, Lieutenant. Now it's time for us to do ours. Order all ships to attack formation! We're
14:11going in!
14:12Terran Resistance fighters have broken through the Graf Shield defenses, and the Exofleet is approaching Venus!
14:18Is the Exofleet in range of the Graf device?
14:21Yes! Not that it does any good. We've lost the Graf Shield!
14:25Enneel, activate the Graf Shield.
14:31But, but I just told you that Terrans hold the Graf Dome!
14:35I have created a second Graf Generator, larger and more powerful than the one the Terrans have captured.
14:42A second Generator? Where?
14:45We are inside it.
14:49I have converted the city's entire Dome into an enormous Graf Generator.
14:59Initiate Graf Targeting Program.
15:04Targeting completed! The trap is sprung, and the entire Exofleet has just walked into it.
15:16Now, back to ExoSquad.
15:21I wish Maggie'd hurry up and demo this place so we can get out of here.
15:25Stop wishing and keep firing!
15:27How close are we, Maggie?
15:29Setting the last one now, JT.
15:51They're pulling out again! Just like last time!
15:54Yes, it's been too easy.
15:57JT! Don't detonate the charges!
15:59Don't detonate the charges!
16:01Say again, Alec. I don't think I copied.
16:04The Neo-Megas made a big show out of reactivating this base, and then let our recon team escape after
16:09they'd seen it.
16:10It's a shell game! They show us what they want us to see, while the real object is somewhere else.
16:15We're in the wrong place!
16:17Detonators are set to go, JT!
16:19Hold off!
16:22Can you patch into this thing's comm unit and link up with the ExoFleet?
16:26That's easy. Ask me something hard.
16:28Do it. Then get Algernon online.
16:33Yes, Lieutenant. The link up with the shield control unit is complete.
16:37I can operate the graph shield from here.
16:40Then activate it, Professor.
16:41What are you trying to do, Lieutenant? Destroy the fleet?
16:44You'll have to trust me on this, Admiral.
16:47Do it, Professor.
16:51The shield is activated.
16:56The shield's not working.
16:58Could you have made a mistake, Professor?
17:00I do not make mistakes, Admiral.
17:03This graph shield is inoperative.
17:05The power curve is well below full graph parameters.
17:08It's what we call a dummy circuit.
17:10We've been decoyed, Admiral.
17:12The Neos wanted us to waste our time on this base.
17:14They must have another graph shield somewhere else.
17:16You've got to call off the invasion.
17:18You're sitting ducks up there!
17:22The Terran fleet is now within range of the graph shield.
17:28Destroy the invasion fleet.
17:32That is, if the order meets with your approval, General Draconis.
17:39You have your orders, Enlil.
17:51No!
17:55No!
17:57I can't wait!
17:59I can't wait!
18:02Not the ship!
18:05Sir, massive energy readings from the planets surface!
18:08They're off the scale!
18:11All ships, pull back immediately.
18:19No, Admiral.
18:22What do you think you're doing, Simbaka?
18:24This is Simbaka.
18:26Pirates, cloak and attack.
18:32You've destroyed your own ships. They might have had a chance to escape.
18:36No, Admiral. Simbaka's right. The attack must proceed.
18:42What is this? It cannot be!
18:44What is it, Enlil?
18:46Targeting systems are failing to lock on!
18:50The pirate ships cloak by using gravity to bend light waves around them.
18:54What's your point, Professor?
18:56The grav targeting sensors work like light waves. They won't be able to lock on to the cloaked pirate ships.
19:05They can't hit what they can't see.
19:07I don't know why that never occurred to me before.
19:11I suppose even a genius can't think of everything.
19:14We're inside the shield's range. Prepare to un-cloak and drop jump troops. Un-cloak!
19:20Jump troops away!
19:23Jump troops away!
19:23Jump troops away!
19:49Jump troops away!
19:51Jump troops away!
19:51Keep waiting, leave beleza!
19:53Remove
20:15The Graf's shield has failed.
20:17Exo-fleet junk groups and E-frames have landed.
20:20I am aware of that.
20:22I suggest to you...
20:26I've had enough of your suggestions.
20:28I am in command on Venus.
20:37Get these Neo-Megas out of my sight.
20:41Permanently.
20:46No, Draconis.
20:47You need us.
20:48Phaeton will not allow this.
20:51Phaeton will be told of your heroic last moments battling the Terran invaders.
20:57Now get them out of here!
21:00No, Draconis. Mercy!
21:04This is General Draconis.
21:06All forces fall back on Vesta.
21:08We make our stand here.
21:13We're doing it, JT.
21:15We're taking back Venus.
21:16We're taking back our home.
21:18We've waited a long time for this day to come.
21:21It's the beginning of the end for Phaeton, but we've still got a lot of work to do.
21:27Okay, people.
21:28Let's frame up.
21:36Exosquad will be back in a moment.
21:39Now, back to Exosquad.
21:45JTAC CIDAP.
21:45All but Arc.
21:46Commercial Draconis.
21:46I love you.
21:50I want to see that I don'tão.
21:50I can't get you.
21:55I don't know.
21:59I don't know.
22:02I don't have a fun time.
22:02I'm not commitmentców in this day, I'm not Joseph Recklen.
22:02I don't know the fact that he failed.
22:03I'm not.
22:03I don't know.
22:04I don't know it.
22:05I don't know.
22:06Should I give this?
22:07I don't know.
22:10But he's done.
22:10I'm not supposed to play again.
