Short filmTranscript
00:00:18Go to hell, ugly son of a bitch.
00:00:27Good work, Max. These people couldn't stop a beast of that tier without you.
00:00:31Now I need you in Sector 4. Some noble's energy refinery is leaking. Go handle it.
00:00:37I built these mechs to protect people, not babysit some rich prick's money.
00:00:40You're refusing a direct federal order? That's desertion!
00:00:43I'm old anyway. Time for me to retire. Find someone else to do your dirty work.
00:01:06Who the hell let you in here? You're a grease monkey from the lower city.
00:01:10You have any idea what that terminal is worth? And you just broke it!
00:01:20Knowing some cheap tricks doesn't get you a seat at this table.
00:01:24Get this grease-soaked bum out of my event!
00:01:28I'm not having him track oil on our guest's shoes.
00:01:34Dad? What are you doing here?
00:01:41Luke, you're telling me this grease-covered wreck is your father?
00:01:46Yes, I'm so sorry. My father, he had a head injury and gets confused thinking he's back in his old
00:01:51repair factory.
00:01:52Total accident. I'll get him out of here right now.
00:01:54Dad! Are you insane?
00:01:56This is a federal fleet event. They could kill us anytime they wanted. Put the wrench away.
00:02:02I just fixed it. The damn thing was about to blow. Would have taken half the room with it.
00:02:08Since he's your father, I'll let this go. But keep him on a leash.
00:02:13If he touches one more piece of federal equipment, no one will be able to save that little shop of
00:02:18his from going under.
00:02:22Dad, please. This federal contract is our last shot. There are people at the factory counting on this money to
00:02:27eat.
00:02:27You blow this for me and we're sleeping on the street.
00:02:29These are the top-of-the-line mebs everyone's raving about. The sensors are hanging out. Hydraulics are off balance.
00:02:34Stick any of them in a real fight and it folds like a tin can.
00:02:36What do you know? That's cutting-edge Federation design.
00:02:40You think they're the same old tanks you were tinkering with 30 years ago?
00:02:42Go find a corner. Stay there. Don't talk. Don't touch a single thing. Can you do that?
00:02:46Ha. That's something.
00:02:49If it isn't Luke, the parts factory guy. Not bankrupt yet? Is this your chief engineer?
00:02:55God, that cheap, greasy smell. Worse than a wasteland rat. Luke, you brought this guy?
00:02:59What, you want everyone to feel like they're in a scrapyard?
00:03:03Nice suit. Real shiny. Makes me wonder if your mech's built the same way.
00:03:07Looks good. Falls apart the second somebody puts a dent in it.
00:03:11Old man. You got a death wish?
00:03:18Dax, please. Let it go. He's my father. Our shop would never go up against your consortium. Never.
00:03:29Your father? Luke, I always knew you were just a broke bottom feeder, but I had no idea the blood
00:03:35running through you was this cheap.
00:03:37No wonder you showed up with a hunk of scrap iron. You've got a junkyard, Dad.
00:03:45It's called the Libra. It's built on our core technology.
00:03:49I think he's the core technology. A geriatric loser. Luke, just send your old man into the ring to fake
00:03:55an injury.
00:03:56Maybe you can squeeze a medical bill out of us.
00:04:01Can't stop staring, huh, old man? That's my neon Leviathan.
00:04:05When the combat test begins, my pilot is going to dismantle your little scrap half one bolt at a time.
00:04:10Nice shell. High titanium alloy. Aerospace grade.
00:04:15But whoever designed this left the plasma conduction pipe on the right knee completely exposed.
00:04:21The outer armor there is less than three millimeters thick.
00:04:23You crank this thing up in a real fight, core temp spikes, that tube burns out.
00:04:28Ten seconds. Maybe less.
00:04:32A grease stain nobody who spent his whole life sniffing exhaust is out here critiquing Dax's engineering team.
00:04:39I can't breathe.
00:04:42Dad, please, just shut up. Why can't you just not make everything worse for once?
00:04:47Relax. We're not going to lose the live match.
00:04:49Besides, I came because I wanted to introduce you to someone.
00:04:55I heard Elena's going to be here today. What do you think of her?
00:05:01Your dad isn't just useless, he's delusional.
00:05:04A sewer rat like you going after a consortium iris?
00:05:23Miss Galloway looks stunning today.
00:05:25She would. She's the Eden Consortium's Harris and the biggest investor in the room.
00:05:32Ah, Miss Galloway. I'm with the Dax Consortium.
00:05:46Is he here? You run the entry list yet?
00:05:50Elena, no S-Class signal detected in the system.
00:05:53That's not right. I got an encrypted message. He's supposed to be here tonight.
00:05:57Widen the suite. If he doesn't walk through that door, this whole billion-crawler circus is pointless.
00:06:14Dad, the Neon Levarthen is a killing machine. The match protocol is locked. I have to go in for the
00:06:20federal contract.
00:06:21What's wrong, Luke? Cold feet?
00:06:25A little late for that. Lose this match and neither you nor junky old man will have anywhere left to
00:06:30go.
00:06:30I'm not going anywhere. The ring is a level playing field based on skill, Dax. Don't forget that.
00:06:40Skill? With that oil-leaking piece of garbage?
00:06:47Son. You see her up there? Go talk to her. Hell with the bidding, that right there saves your factory.
00:06:55This old lunaturk has never seen the real world. Luke talked to Miss Galloway? Seriously?
00:06:59Luke, your old man's brain is soaked in motor oil.
00:07:02You too. Scraping the bottom of the barrel? Think you can aim that high?
00:07:06If Miss Galloway so much as glances at you, I'll bite a chunk out of this steel column right here.
00:07:13Playtime's over. Get in your junk block when it's time.
00:07:16I'll be watching from the best seat in the house when the Neon Leviathan splits you and at that thing
00:07:20down the middle.
00:07:21Done.
00:07:33Son, the match is about to start. Where are you taking me?
00:07:36Where am I taking you? Out of here. Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough today?
00:07:46What is wrong with you?
00:07:50You picked a fight with Dax and then, in front of everyone, told me to go after Elena.
00:07:54Did you see the way those people looked at us? Like we crawled out of a sewer.
00:07:59Everything I said was true. The neon levarathan is full of holes.
00:08:03Do what I tell you and the Libra can't lose.
00:08:05As for that woman...
00:08:07I'm sick of your shit!
00:08:10We haven't paid anyone in two months. The Libras is literally built from garbage I salvaged.
00:08:14Every day I stand there grinning at those consort guys, praying one of them throws me a shitty repair contract
00:08:20just to keep the factory alive.
00:08:21And you, all you do is fix broken junk and live in a fantasy world. You just cut off our
00:08:26last lifeline!
00:08:27Son, as long as I'm here, nothing touches the Libra.
00:08:31Save your breath. Take the money, go home.
00:08:34Whatever goes down in that ring, whatever they do to the Libra, whatever happens to me, that's not your problem.
00:08:39Stay out of it.
00:08:43Go!
00:08:44Go! And don't ever come back to a place like this!
00:08:52Luke, you really don't know your old man at all.
00:09:03Elena, I just pulled the external feed.
00:09:06The exterior sensors picked up an unregistered biological signature.
00:09:12Pull it up.
00:09:36Max!
00:09:37Max!
00:09:38I finally found you.
00:09:40It's an honor, sir.
00:09:41Hey, get up.
00:09:42The ground is dirty and your dress is probably expensive. Don't ruin it.
00:09:45Five years ago you took down an S-Class Beast at the Abyss line and then disappeared.
00:09:49The Federal Military and every major consortium have been looking for you ever since.
00:09:53Getting to see you again, it means everything.
00:09:57I told you, I'm retired.
00:09:59I only came today to keep an eye on my son.
00:10:01I understand.
00:10:03Mr. Barrett, please come with me to the VIP platform. Best view in the arena.
00:10:21Oh, look who's back.
00:10:24Alone?
00:10:25Where's your old man?
00:10:26Does it matter?
00:10:28Probably couldn't face watching his son get cleaned out.
00:10:31Crawled back to whatever hole he came from.
00:10:40Your old man might be crazy, but he did give me an idea.
00:10:43Go say hi to Elena, even after you lose.
00:10:45Maybe if you drag yourself over to the Eden Consortium and grovel at their feet, you'll make it out of
00:10:49this in one piece.
00:10:51Dax, look, Elena's back.
00:10:58Who is that?
00:10:59Miss Galloway herself is escorting him?
00:11:02Look at that security formation.
00:11:04Is he some high-ranking Federation blass?
00:11:13That has to be somebody important.
00:11:15Go find out who.
00:11:29Delay the event by five minutes.
00:11:35Elena escorted someone in person.
00:11:37Is there someone in the Federation I don't know about?
00:11:39Must be someone on a whole other level.
00:11:41Good thing we're here today.
00:11:49That's enough, Elena.
00:11:50Leave the small stuff to machines.
00:11:51It's an honor just to be in your presence.
00:11:53Handing this off to a machine would be beneath what you deserve.
00:11:56Am I seeing this right?
00:11:58Miss Galloway is personally cleaning that man's boots?
00:12:01I never imagined I'd see a Consortium arrest.
00:12:04Show that kind of reverence for anyone.
00:12:06Who is he?
00:12:07Wait.
00:12:07Dad?
00:12:08Is that you?
00:12:17Dad!
00:12:20What am I looking at?
00:12:21Miss Galloway is shining that junk man's shoes?
00:12:24Dax,
00:12:26is that crazy old man actually as good as he says?
00:12:32All right, Elena.
00:12:33Get up.
00:12:42Luke.
00:12:43Why are you just standing there?
00:12:44Come up.
00:12:45Me?
00:12:52Elena, this is my son, Luke.
00:12:55His little factory is about to go under.
00:12:57If you've got a hundred million sitting around with nowhere to go, he could use it.
00:13:01Or, hear me out.
00:13:02You two seem like a good match.
00:13:04Spend some time together and see where it goes.
00:13:06Then the contract stays in the family and we skip all this bidding nonsense.
00:13:11Am I hearing things?
00:13:12That old bastard is actually ordering Elena around?
00:13:16It's an honor to meet you, Luke.
00:13:18As for the contract and everything else, I think we should find somewhere quiet to talk.
00:13:23Mr. Barrett, please follow me.
00:13:29No way.
00:13:30This can't be real.
00:13:31Zane, this old man must have saved her life or something.
00:13:33She cares about her reputation more than anything.
00:13:35She's putting on a show because she owes him or something.
00:13:37Right, right.
00:13:37She owes him one, so she's making the gesture.
00:13:39As soon as the debt's cleared, this old man is less than nothing again.
00:13:48I'm the presiding judge of this event and a federal colonel.
00:13:51Who the hell are you?
00:13:53And who gave you clearance to sit here?
00:13:56Colonel Stern, that's the mechanic.
00:13:57He slipped up there while Elena was in the back.
00:13:59He's got no credentials, nothing.
00:14:00He just walked right in.
00:14:03ID and entry pass.
00:14:04Hand them over.
00:14:05You don't have them.
00:14:07Then I shoot you right here for espionage and impersonation.
00:14:11ID?
00:14:12Haven't had one in years.
00:14:14Used it to wipe down my guns.
00:14:17Did you hear that, Colonel Stern?
00:14:18He admit it.
00:14:20He's just a bum who snucked in.
00:14:22No credentials, no entry.
00:14:23You can explain yourself in hell.
00:14:26Take it.
00:14:31Baxter, get to the Federal Dome in ten minutes.
00:14:34Some clown covered in tin decorations wants to put me down.
00:14:38Excuse me?
00:14:40You just called Supreme Commander General Bax Owens?
00:14:43The leader of the whole goddamn federation?
00:14:47What's he got something next?
00:14:48That he's Max Barrett, the legendary federal hero?
00:14:51Hold on, Colonel Stern.
00:14:53Don't shoot him yet.
00:14:54Let him finish the show.
00:14:55I want to see if a Supreme Commander actually walks through that door in ten minutes.
00:14:59Fine.
00:15:00Ten minutes.
00:15:02If Commander General Owens doesn't show, I'll personally make you wish you never walked into
00:15:07this arena.
00:15:14Colonel Stern, the Global Hollow Broadcast starts in two minutes.
00:15:17We've got high-level federal investors on standby right now.
00:15:20If the whole federation watches this old man sitting in the VIP chair, we are done.
00:15:25Shouldn't we clear unauthorized personnel?
00:15:27Two minutes.
00:15:29The ten aren't even up, but I'm done waiting.
00:15:32Honestly, letting a dead man sit there this long was already more patience than he deserved.
00:15:38Show's over.
00:15:40Commander General Owens seems to be lost.
00:15:43No one's coming to save you.
00:15:44Colonel Stern!
00:15:45Quit wasting your breath!
00:15:48Break his damn legs already!
00:15:50Drag him out.
00:15:52Any resistance, shoot him on the spot.
00:15:54Don't get blood on that leather.
00:15:56Kids these days, no manners at all.
00:16:01Don't move!
00:16:02Hands up!
00:16:03I'll shoot!
00:16:07I don't have an entry pass.
00:16:10But I do have this.
00:16:15That's his ID?
00:16:16A scorched piece of junk he fished out of a scrap heap?
00:16:18He just basically threw trash at you!
00:16:21Colonel Stern!
00:16:22Assaulting an officer and openly disrespecting the federal military, that's grounds for immediate
00:16:26execution, right?
00:16:27This is a federation ship of the highest tier.
00:16:30How does a crazy old man have something like this?
00:16:33Serial numbers worn clean off.
00:16:35This is nothing but scrap.
00:16:37That's your big move, old man?
00:16:38Buying yourself a few more seconds with a piece of garbage?
00:16:43Garbage or not?
00:16:45Stick it in your military scanner and find out.
00:16:48Unless a federal colonel's too scared to see what comes up.
00:16:52Fine!
00:16:53You want the truth before you die?
00:16:56You've got it!
00:16:57Take that chip and run it through the military scanner on the main console!
00:17:04See?
00:17:05I told you it was junk!
00:17:07Even the scanner can't read it!
00:17:09I told you it was junk!
00:17:14Federal level zero command detected.
00:17:16Encrypted sequence verified.
00:17:18Authorization confirmed.
00:17:20Initiating unconditional full system takeover.
00:17:37What did you do?
00:17:38Colonel Stern, I'm sorry. Whatever my father did, I'll make it right. I'll pay for everything.
00:17:47Elena. Colonel Stern. I just received an emergency notification from on high.
00:17:54Commander General Owens is quickly and personally leading a formation toward this dome. Estimated arrival, 10 minutes.
00:18:01Commander General Owens? The Federation's greatest military commander here? At a commercial bidding event?
00:18:08Wait, didn't that old man just say into that beat-up communicator, get to the Federal Dome in 10 minutes?
00:18:13Was that actually real?
00:18:14No way. Think about it. A grease-soaked nobody knowing the Supreme Commander? He forged that chip he had to.
00:18:21Triggered the level zero alarm, spooked the whole defense system. Baxter isn't coming for a visit. He's coming to arrest
00:18:27this old fraud. That's exactly what this is.
00:18:30Everyone shut up! He's right. The commander is coming to deal with a traitor!
00:18:35The match countdown. Is it time? Then kick off the deathmatch right now! I want the bidding wrapped up before
00:18:42the commander sets foot in here.
00:18:45When this match is over and the commander arrives, we'll find out exactly what you are.
00:18:51Once more.
00:18:53I don't know.
00:19:37You actually thought that Rusthap could take a billion credit contract from us?
00:19:42Go to hell!
00:19:50No!
00:19:52Gotcha.
00:19:59Move, Libra!
00:20:01Move!
00:20:20Get Luke out of there!
00:20:30Stand down!
00:20:32Article 42 of the combat code.
00:20:34If the primary pilot is incapacitated and the Meach Corps is intact, a replacement pilot
00:20:38can step in and continue.
00:20:40I'm his father.
00:20:41I'll finish this fight.
00:20:46In this arena, my word as presiding judge is the only word that matters.
00:20:52Libra's primary pilot has been ejected and is physically unable to continue.
00:20:56This deathmatch is over.
00:20:58The Neon Leviathan wins.
00:21:11Colonel Stern, the military contract bid in two days I need a guaranteed win.
00:21:16Ah, Dax.
00:21:18Allow me to congratulate us both on a very productive partnership in advance.
00:21:23Arrest this man right now for disrupting the event.
00:21:26Pull the defeated pilot off the arena floor too.
00:21:29Per security protocol, send them both straight to the underground waste incinerator.
00:21:33No ID verification needed.
00:22:00No ID verification needed.
00:22:07That's...
00:22:08... Commander General Owen's warship!
00:22:25Commander, your timing is perfect.
00:22:27Commander, sir.
00:22:28This mechanic forged a federal level zero command ship and set off the highest level alarm here.
00:22:33This individual openly disrespected federal military authority.
00:22:36I was about to order his execution.
00:22:42Commander, please allow me to immediately...
00:22:52Max, sorry I'm late. What are your orders?
00:22:56I just cited Article 42 of the Combat Code and asked to finish this match in my son's place.
00:23:01Vance told me he makes the rules. Understood.
00:23:06Max is correct. Per the code, the match continues.
00:23:11Watch closely. Let me show you what a real mech pilot looks like.
00:23:17Dad, the Libra's left arm is gone.
00:23:21Power systems are over 60% damaged.
00:23:38It's a worn out trash bin.
00:23:39Mine is the latest model. There's no way I'll lose it.
00:23:46Now.
00:23:47Now.
00:23:48No.
00:23:58Let's go.
00:23:58Let's go.
00:23:58Now.
00:24:02Let's go.
00:24:03Now.
00:24:18The Neon Leviathan just went down.
00:24:22How is that even possible?
00:24:23In that thing?
00:24:29The live combat vid is over.
00:24:32I'm declaring the Libra the winner.
00:24:34The billion crore in federal military contract is awarded to Luke and his parts factory, effective immediately.
00:24:41Dad.
00:24:53Turns out this was a fair fight after all.
00:24:56Figured it was rigged.
00:25:03Good timing.
00:25:04Five more minutes and they'd have been scraping me and my kid out of that incinerator.
00:25:11Max, what are you saying?
00:25:15Max, let me explain.
00:25:17He called himself the presiding judge, but he refused to be fair.
00:25:22He declared the Doxa Consortium the winner by force and ordered the military police to shoot us dead.
00:25:28And this one, the venue manager, decided the smell of my grease was going to ruin somebody's evening and had
00:25:33security drag me out.
00:25:36Mr. Barrett, I apologize for my ignorance.
00:25:38Please, spare me.
00:25:42And there's you, Dax.
00:25:44You rolled in here with a mech that has a fatal design flaw and spent the whole day promising to
00:25:49stomp my son's head in.
00:25:52I'll ask you straight.
00:25:53You really want garbage like that going into the federal arsenal?
00:25:57A federal officer.
00:25:59A venue manager.
00:26:01A consortium bankrolled by federal resources.
00:26:04Together you've built a system here that places itself completely above the federal code.
00:26:09Unacceptable!
00:26:14Commander, I wasn't thinking straight.
00:26:17It was Dax, he forced me.
00:26:18Please, after all my years of service to the Federation.
00:26:24Pull up his transaction records.
00:26:26See how much money you embezzle.
00:26:35Corrupt piece of filth.
00:26:37Strip his rank on the spot.
00:26:39Seize every asset he has.
00:26:41Ship him to Wasteland Radiation Mine 7.
00:26:43Life sentence, hard labor.
00:26:44Don't do this, please!
00:26:46No!
00:26:50Mr. Barrett, I'm sorry!
00:26:52I'm so sorry!
00:26:53I'll gouge my own eyes off, whatever you want!
00:26:55Just please don't send me out there!
00:27:00No!
00:27:12You can't touch me!
00:27:14The Dax Consortium is the third federal fleet's largest energy supplier!
00:27:28By order of the federal supreme commander, effective immediately, all federal cooperation with the Dax Consortium and its subsidiaries is
00:27:38terminated.
00:27:39All financial accounts are to be frozen.
00:27:51Max, please!
00:27:53I'll give you money!
00:27:55The whole consortium, it's yours!
00:27:57Make them stop!
00:28:16All right.
00:28:17If there's nothing else, we're done here.
00:28:27Max, please, wait!
00:28:30Tomorrow night, the Eden Consortium is hosting the Federal Elite Mechanic Gala.
00:28:34Every top mech designer and major heir in the Federation will be there, as well as some people you know.
00:28:41Luke winning a contract this size will make him a target.
00:28:43If you both come, the Eden Consortium will officially announce its strategic alliance with Libra Factory.
00:28:49That announcement is critical for Luke's future.
00:28:54Miss Galloway, that kind of event, I don't belong there.
00:28:59I'm just a Lower City mechanic.
00:29:00What do you mean you don't belong?
00:29:03Tomorrow night, we'll be there.
00:29:31After we brief the Eden Consortium chairman today, there's a very good chance we get promoted.
00:29:42What is security even doing?
00:29:44They're letting a Lower City scavenger walk straight through the front door.
00:29:47That grease smell is making me sick.
00:29:51Hey, this isn't a junkyard.
00:29:54Get out of here.
00:30:04Identity confirmed.
00:30:06Lead professor of the Federal First Academy, Leo.
00:30:09Welcome.
00:30:14Warning.
00:30:17Unregistered biological signature detected.
00:30:21I'm talking to you, old man.
00:30:23Walk away while you still can.
00:30:27Lower City trash.
00:30:29Security can't read a life form as basic as you.
00:30:34Visitor access activated.
00:30:36Proceed.
00:30:39It's not possible.
00:30:41The recognition module must have glitched.
00:30:43Probably interference from whatever low-grade junk he's carrying.
00:31:00What do you think you're doing?
00:31:03Box caught your dress.
00:31:05Sorry about that.
00:31:06You disgusting wasteland creep.
00:31:08You did that on purpose.
00:31:09You were trying to grab me.
00:31:11Everyone here saw it.
00:31:12You're a predator who crawls around harassing women.
00:31:15You hack your way through security, and then you put your hands on my girl.
00:31:20Old geezer, you are not walking out of this lobby today.
00:31:35A beat-up box that heavy?
00:31:37It's either stolen goods or recording equipment.
00:31:39Open it.
00:31:40Just tools.
00:31:50It really is just tools.
00:31:53Industrial junk.
00:32:01A classified Federal Cross Star emblem?
00:32:05Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:32:06Oh!
00:32:07Oh!
00:32:08Oh!
00:32:12If you're going to impersonate a senior war department mechanic, at least use DC materials.
00:32:18Scrap iron with a gold coat on it.
00:32:21You actually thought you could walk into the Eden confactment with that garbage?
00:32:26Put that down.
00:32:27That toy on your hand can't manage its own heat output.
00:32:35Watch your mouth, old geezer.
00:32:36My gauntlet can handle anything.
00:32:41I'll say it one more time.
00:32:43That cute little toy of yours can't control its own temperature.
00:32:48A toy?
00:32:50Let me show you what a Federal First Academy toy can do to your fake card.
00:32:59Forging Federal documents is a serious crime, buddy.
00:33:02But seeing as you're just a filthy scavenger, I'll let you off with a warning.
00:33:06Now take your garbage and get out.
00:33:09What, you deaf or something?
00:33:11You wrinkly piece of shit.
00:33:14Just looking at you makes me want to puke!
00:33:23You're going to pay for what you just did.
00:33:28Come on, Chloe.
00:33:29We need to get ready for our briefing with the chairman.
00:33:39Mr. Barrett, I'm Victor, Eden's chief steward.
00:33:41My apologies for the delay.
00:33:43The chairman is en route and has asked me to escort you to the rooftop observatory in the meantime.
00:33:48You guys need faster elevators here.
00:33:50Lead the way.
00:33:59Please make yourself comfortable.
00:34:00I'll go greet the chairman.
00:34:13Might as well fix this.
00:34:14Not like there's anything else to do.
00:34:23Leo, your hands!
00:34:34That cute little toy of yours can't control its own temperature.
00:34:45Don't touch me!
00:34:46If the chairman sees this, I'll just tell him it's the price I paid for my research.
00:34:59What the hell are you doing here?
00:35:04Third degree thermal backlash.
00:35:06If you hadn't released the locks when you did, the heat would have started boiling your bone marrow.
00:35:10Who wires this its-patient module and the plasma generator into the same circuit?
00:35:15I told you, that thing's design is a joke.
00:35:18You goddamn sewer rat!
00:35:19What gives you the right to sit in that chair?
00:35:21And how did you even make it up here?
00:35:23How'd you get past security?
00:35:27Leo, look at the stuff on that desk.
00:35:30He's dismantling the chairman's things.
00:35:32That's not true.
00:35:33I get it.
00:35:34I was wondering where a low-class scavenger got the guts to forge federal classified material.
00:35:39Turns out you just stole it from here before.
00:35:42You're sure looking pretty smug right now, aren't you?
00:35:45Too bad it's not gonna last.
00:35:47Don't try to sound slick, buddy.
00:35:48I know what this is.
00:35:50You disabled the lobby security matrix, crawled up here through the garbage touch,
00:35:53and came here to steal more of Eden Consortium's core components.
00:35:57Chloe, get everything on camera.
00:35:58Record this thief trashing the chairman's office.
00:36:03Wait!
00:36:09What are you doing?
00:36:10Just creating the perfect crime scene.
00:36:12A lowly wasteland scavenger,
00:36:14violently wrecking the Eden Consortium chairman's private office
00:36:17and stealing classified data on the first generation Titan Corps.
00:36:24Get on your knees, old man.
00:36:25Tell the camera all about how you snuck into the building and trashed this room.
00:36:31And what if I don't?
00:36:32Then you get executed on the spot as an armed and dangerous intruder.
00:36:45You have five seconds to do what I told you.
00:36:49Five.
00:36:51Four.
00:36:53Three.
00:36:54Two.
00:36:56Three.
00:37:01Four.
00:37:05Four.
00:37:06Four.
00:37:06Four.
00:37:07Miss Galloway, the chairman's car boy has entered level negative three through the gravity
00:37:11corridor.
00:37:13I need to go down and meet my grandfather.
00:37:15Victor said your father's at the rooftop observatory.
00:37:17Take the elevator up.
00:37:18I'll bring my grandpa there shortly.
00:37:20All right, I'll go first.
00:37:21See you later.
00:37:273
00:37:322
00:37:44Dad
00:37:51Dad!
00:37:52Dad! What's going on?
00:37:58Perfect timing. Take a good look at what your low-life father did.
00:38:04Forging a classified federal emblem,
00:38:07infiltrating the top floor to destroy Eden Consortium's most valuable equipment,
00:38:11and using a low-grade, homemade explosive device to attack a Consortium's senior researcher.
00:38:17You're Luke, right? Your Libra factory got the military contract.
00:38:21Well, guess what? It's null and void here.
00:38:25And that's not all.
00:38:27I'm reporting all this to the Federation.
00:38:29You, your father, and every single one of those bottom-fleeting workers in your factory
00:38:34will be shackled and sent to the high-radiation minefields at the wasteland's edge.
00:38:39You'll be digging underground for the rest of your lives.
00:38:48I told you to wait in the parking lot.
00:38:52I told you not to go wandering off.
00:38:54Why don't you ever listen?
00:38:56Are you trying to cut off the last lifeline we have?
00:38:59The factory workers' livelihoods were dependent on this contract.
00:39:02You owe them all an apology.
00:39:05Luke, don't get so worked up.
00:39:09This isn't the time to turn weak.
00:39:12They're the ones who owe us an apology.
00:39:14If you don't trust me, then stay out of this.
00:39:16You'll only get in the way.
00:39:21See that, old man?
00:39:23Even your own son knows what a hopeless scumbag you are.
00:39:26If you're not gonna confess on camera, you can go to hell!
00:39:29Open fire! Blow his damn brains out!
00:39:38Everyone stand down!
00:39:49Everyone stand down!
00:39:50Everyone stand down!
00:39:56Chairman Galloway!
00:39:58You're here just in time.
00:40:01This scavenging thief snuck into your private office through the garbage duct and started smashing your most precious equipment.
00:40:10But please don't worry.
00:40:12I've activated the security system and am fully prepared to execute him on the spot.
00:40:16I won't let this low-class trash vandalize your office.
00:40:31Chairman Galloway, what are you...
00:40:38Mr. Barrett, I'm deeply sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:40:47Chairman Galloway, I completely understand.
00:40:50You cut off the security mech's power because you were worried their high energy pulse might damage the equipment here.
00:40:58But sir, this man is a real threat.
00:41:02You need to have your guards apprehend him immediately.
00:41:07You insolent fool!
00:41:17Chairman Galloway.
00:41:28Eden Consortium welcomes Mr. Barrett.
00:41:31My sincerest apologies.
00:41:35I failed to keep my subordinates in order, allowing these two to assault you as a crime punishable by death.
00:41:42Thank you, Monty.
00:41:53It's been a while, old friend.
00:42:00Co Ordinary Water
00:42:10EVE
00:42:16Guess you still haven't wiped off that grease smell yet
00:42:20Guess you still haven't got yourself a wardrobe stylist
00:42:23What?
00:42:24The Chamlin just hugged that low-class trash?
00:42:32As you can see, the first gen Titan Core's energy matrix has reached its breaking point
00:42:41Without the Titan data card to guide it, Plasma Fire will burn right through the building's foundation
00:42:49The data card's right here
00:42:51Your star employee over there just cut it in half
00:42:57Kale, cancel their clearances and strip them of their federal citizenship
00:43:01I don't ever want to see them again
00:43:06Wait! Chairman Galloway!
00:43:08Sir, please give me one last chance
00:43:10I can use Dynamic Simulation Simumatrix to replace the data card
00:43:15I can get us out of this crisis
00:43:24If you can really fix this core
00:43:26Maybe I can convince Cyrus to spare your lives in one piece
00:43:31Why'd you-
00:43:31Let him handle it?
00:43:39Shit!
00:43:40I don't even know what I'm doing
00:43:42You're doing it wrong
00:43:43If you hit Execute now, the core will melt down instantly
00:43:46I don't need a grease monkey hovering over me and telling me how to handle high-level shit
00:43:58Critical fault detected
00:44:00Core pressure exceeds maximum threshold
00:44:02Core meltdown sequence initiated
00:44:05Estimated time to building collapse
00:44:07100 seconds
00:44:09You fool!
00:44:11You screwed it all up!
00:44:19Impossible
00:44:20It has to be a hardware problem
00:44:32Grandpa
00:44:34Is Eden really gonna go down like this?
00:44:41Don't touch the console!
00:44:43Code interference will accelerate the meltdown!
00:44:48Luke, hand me the data card!
00:44:55Core energy frequency restored to stable level
00:44:58Meltdown sequence terminated
00:45:07Piece of cake
00:45:15Chairman Galloway, this is impossible!
00:45:17My algorithm was flawless!
00:45:19It would never have failed us like this
00:45:21This whole thing was some kind of crazy aberration
00:45:25No, Chairman Galloway, I'm Eden's most prized asset
00:45:28Please give me one more chance
00:45:31Mr. Barrett?
00:45:32Luke?
00:45:32I messed up!
00:45:33I'm sorry!
00:45:34I'll clean up everything in the room
00:45:36I'll make up for all the damage we caused
00:45:38So now you admit you were the ones who trashed my eye office?
00:45:43Strip Leo and Chloe of their second tier federal citizenship
00:45:47Seize all assets in their names and send them to work in the wasteland radiation mines
00:45:57No!
00:45:59No!
00:46:04I gotta say, Luke
00:46:06They kinda had that coming
00:46:10Max, from this moment on, Eden Consortium is officially a strategic partner of LibriFactory
00:46:17You will now have first priority access for all component supply chains
00:46:21Consider it a token of Eden Coration's gratitude
00:46:23What? This... this is a lifesaver!
00:46:27Luke, there's an elite mechanic gala at Fortress 42 tomorrow night
00:46:33The Federation's finest mech designers and top military parts will be there
00:46:37We'd like you and Mr. Barrett to attend as allies of Eden
00:46:42Max, thank god the Federation has you
00:46:44I don't even want to think about what might have happened otherwise
00:47:06Dad... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have kicked you out of the bidding event
00:47:10And I never should have said that all you do is fix broken junk
00:47:14Everything I learned, I learned it to help you stand tall
00:47:18From now on, you don't bow down to anyone
00:47:20Not ever
00:47:38Well, it isn't the little owner of the Lower City Parts Shop
00:47:42You think putting on a suit gives you a free pass to mingle with the 1%?
00:47:59God, look at all that mud on his shoes
00:48:01This floor is aviation grade alloy
00:48:03What does he think he's walking through? A lower city sewer?
00:48:06Van is General Redford's heir
00:48:08How did security let a rancid wasteland rat get so close to him?
00:48:14We were invited
00:48:16We have every right to be here
00:48:17Look at that cheap-ass suit
00:48:19Spent your whole savings on it, I bet
00:48:20Wearing that to come ask for handouts at a military fortress
00:48:23Doesn't it strike you as a bit... ridiculous?
00:48:29Father
00:48:31Good evening, everyone
00:48:32I'm Kane Redford, General and Supreme Commander of the Federal Defense Council
00:48:37My word is law around here
00:48:40Letting these lower city peasants breathe the fortress's filtered air
00:48:43Is an extreme waste of federal resources
00:48:45Everyone step back
00:48:46Keep a ten yard distance
00:48:48Who knows what diseases they might be carrying
00:49:01Anyone care to look at our invitation letter?
00:49:07Take a look
00:49:09This is the highest level invitation there is
00:49:11Issued by Eden Consortium
00:49:19Interesting
00:49:20Check it out, folks
00:49:21These counterfeits just keep getting better
00:49:23They're even coating plastic with a light-emitting layer now
00:49:26If you hadn't let me take a closer look, I might have been fooled
00:49:28No wonder they got through the door
00:49:30Tricking security with a fake letter
00:49:32These frauds need to be shut down now
00:49:34Eden is all about protecting the social hierarchy
00:49:36Why would they invite a near-bankrupt parts factory owner and a repairman?
00:49:40This is an insult to the real Elton attendant
00:49:44The letter's real, give it back
00:49:50In Fortress 42
00:49:52Carrying a forged military certificate
00:49:54Is intimidate to espionage
00:49:57Van?
00:49:58Destroy the contraband
00:50:07You said you had an invitation?
00:50:09Well, not anymore
00:50:25Destroyed that invitation means you're directly opposing the wishes of the Federation's top leadership
00:50:31You'll be stripped of your ranks, and expelled from this fortran
00:50:34Stripped of our ranks?
00:50:37expelled from the fortress no one in the entire federal defense council has the authority to give
00:50:42an order like that here in fortress 42 whatever i say goes i'll see what supreme commander titus
