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.
00:00:41You'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.
00:01:33Dad? What are you doing here?
00:01:42Luke, you're telling me this grease-covered wreck is your father?
00:01:46Yes, I'm so sorry. My father, uh, he had a head injury and gets confused thinking he's back in his
00:01:51old repair factory.
00:01:52Total accident. I'll get him out of here right now.
00:01:55Dad! Are you insane?
00:01:57This 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.
00:02:11But 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.
00:02:25There are people at the factory counting on this money to eat. You blow this for me and we're sleeping
00:02:28on the street.
00:02:29These are the top-of-the-line mebs everyone's raving about.
00:02:32The sensors are hanging out. Hydraulics are off balance. Stick any of them in a real fight and it folds
00:02:36like a tin can.
00:02:37What 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?
00:02:46Huh. 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?
00:03:00What, 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.
00:03:30Your 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.
00:04:33A 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.
00:05:26She 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.
00:05:47Is 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 sweep. 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.
00:06:31I'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?
00:07:00Luke, your old man's brain is soaked in motor oil.
00:07:02You two? Scraping the bottom of the barrel? Think you can aim that high?
00:07:07If 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.
00:07:24To be continued...
00:07:25If she is
00:07:30Son, the match is about to start. Where are you taking me?
00:07:36Where am I taking you? Out of here?
00:07:40Haven'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 did you
00:07:55see
00:07:55the way those people looked at us like we crawled out of a sewer everything i said was true the
00:08:01neon
00:08:01levarathan is full of holes do what i tell you and the libra can't lose as for that woman i'm
00:08:07sick of
00:08:07your shit we haven't paid anyone in two months the libras is literally built from garbage i salvaged
00:08:15every day i stand there grinning at those consort guys praying one of them throws me a shitty
00:08:19repair contract just to keep the factory alive and you all you do is fix broken junk and live
00:08:24in a fantasy world you just cut off our last lifeline son as long as i'm here nothing touches
00:08:30the libra save your breath take the money go home whatever goes down in that ring whatever they do
00:08:37to the libra whatever happens to me that's not your problem stay out of it go and don't ever come
00:08:45back to a place like this luke you really don't know your old man at all
00:09:03elena i just pulled the external feed the exterior sensors picked up an unregistered biological
00:09:09signature pull it up
00:09:36max i finally found you
00:09:40it's an honor sir hey get up the ground is dirty and your dress is probably expensive don't ruin
00:09:45five years ago you took down an s-class beast at the abyss line and then disappeared the federal
00:09:50military and every major consortium have been looking for you ever since getting to see you
00:09:54again it means everything i told you i'm retired i only came today to keep an eye on my son
00:10:02i understand mr barrett please come with me to the vip platform best view in the arena

00:10:30cleaned out crawled back to whatever hole he came from
00:10:40your old man might be crazy but he did give me an idea go say hi to elena even after
00:10:44you lose
00:10:45maybe if you drag yourself over to the eden consortium and grovel at their feet you'll
00:10:49make it out of this in one piece
00:10:51dax look elena's back
00:10:58who is that miss galloway herself is escorting him look at that security formation

00:11:56am i seeing this right miss galloway is personally cleaning that man's boots

00:12:05who is he wait dad is that you

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
00:20:57this death match is over the neon leviathan wins

00:21:34not
00:21:34no id verification
00:21:35no id verification
00:22:08That's Commander General Owens' warship!
00:22:25Commander, your timing is perfect.
00:22:28Commander, sir, this 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. I 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 Libris left arm is gone.
00:23:21Power systems are over 60% damaged.
00:23:38It's a worn out trash bin. Mine is the latest model. There's no way I'll lose it.
00:23:42It's a worn out trash bin. Mine is the latest model. There's no way I'll lose it.
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 bid 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.
00:24:52It turns out this was a fair fight after all.
00:24:56I figured 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
00:25:34security drag me out.
00:25:36Mr. Barrick, I apologize for my ignorance.
00:25:39Please, spare me.
00:25:43And 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.
00:25:54You 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.
00:26:10Unacceptable!
00:26:14Commander!
00:26:15I wasn't thinking straight.
00:26:17It was Dax.
00:26:18He forced me.
00:26:18Please.
00:26:19After all my years of service to the Federation.
00:26:24Pull up his transaction records.
00:26:27See how much money you embezzle.
00:26:35Corrupt piece of filth.
00:26:37Strip his rank on the spot.
00:26:40Seize every asset he has.
00:26:41Ship him to Wasteland Radiation Mine 7.
00:26:43Life sentence, hard labor.
00:26:45Don't do this, please!
00:26:46No!
00:26:51Mr. Barrett, I'm sorry.
00:26:52I'm so sorry.
00:26:53I'll gouge my own eyes off.
00:26:54Whatever you want.
00:26:55Just please don't send me out there.
00:27:12You can't touch me.
00:27:14The Dax Consortium is the third federal fleet's largest energy supplier.
00:27:29By order of the federal supreme commander, effective immediately, all federal cooperation with the Dax Consortium and its subsidiaries is
00:27:38terminated.
00:27:38All financial accounts are to be frozen.
00:27:52Max!
00:27:53Please!
00:27:54I'll give you money!
00:27:55The whole consortium!
00:27:56It's yours!
00:27:57Make them stop!
00:28:16All right.
00:28:18If there's nothing else, we're done here.
00:28:27Max!
00:28:28Please, wait!
00:28:31Tomorrow night, the Eden Consortium is hosting the Federal Elite Mechanic Gala.
00:28:35Every top mech designer and major heir in the Federation will be there.
00:28:38As well as some people you know.
00:28:41Luke winning a contract this size will make him a target.
00:28:44If 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 Galaway, 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.
00:30:28Lower City trash.
00:30:29Security can't read a life form as basic as you.
00:30:35Visitor access activated.
00:30:37Proceed.
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?
00:31:04Box caught your dress.
00:31:05Sorry about that.
00:31:06You disgusting wasteland creep!
00:31:08You did that on purpose!
00:31:10You were trying to grab me!
00:31:11Everyone here saw it!
00:31:12You're a predator who crawls around harassing women!
00:31:16You hack your way through security, and then you put your hands on my girl.
00:31:21Old geezer, you are not walking out of this lobby today.
00:31:36A beat-up box that heavy?
00:31:37It's either stolen goods or recording equipment.
00:31:40Open it.
00:31:40Just tools.
00:31:51It 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!
00:32:13If 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 eating confactor with that garbage?
00:32:26Put that down. That toy on your hand can't manage its own heat output.
00:32:35Watch your mouth, old geezer. My gauntlet can handle anything.
00:32:41I'll say it one more time.
00:32:44That 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.
00:33:10What? You deaf or something?
00:33:12You wrinkly piece of shit.
00:33:14Just looking at you makes me want to puke!
00:33:23You're gonna pay for what you just did.
00:33:28Come on, Chloe. We need to get ready for our briefing with the chairman.
00:33:39Mr. Barrett, I'm Victor, Eden's chief steward. My 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. Lead the way.
00:33:59Please make yourself comfortable. I'll go greet the chairman.
00:34:06Mr. Barrett, I'll go.
00:34:13Might as well fix this. Not 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!
00:34:47If 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.
00:35:07If you hadn't released the locks when you did, the heat would have started boiling your bone marrow.
00:35:10Who wires this itspatient 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! What gives you the right to sit in that chair?
00:35:21And how did you even make it up here? How'd you get past security?
00:35:28Leo, look at the stuff on that desk. He's dismantling the chairman's things.
00:35:33That's not true.
00:35:34I get it. I 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? Too bad it's not gonna last.
00:35:47Don't try to sound slick, buddy. I know what this is.
00:35:50You disabled the lobby security matrix, crawled up here through the garbage chutch,
00:35:53and came here to steal more of Eden Consortium's core components.
00:35:57Chloe, get everything on camera. Record this thief trashing the chairman's office.
00:36:04Wait!
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.
00:36:26Tell the camera all about how you snuck into the building and trashed this room.
00:36:31And what if I don't?
00:36:33Then you get executed on the spot as an armed and dangerous intruder.
00:36:45You have five seconds to do what I told you.
00:36:50Five...
00:36:52Four...
00:36:54Three...
00:36:55Two...
00:36:56Four...
00:36:59Two...
00:36:59Three...
00:37:01Two...
00:37:04Three...
00:37:05Three...
00:37:06Four...
00:37:07Seven...
00:37:07Miss Galloway,
00:37:08The chairman's Carvoy has entered level negative three through the gravity corridor.
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.
00:37:20Alright, I'll go first. See you later.
00:37:28THREE!
00:37:33TWO!
00:37:45DAD!
00:37:51DAD!
00:37:52What'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.
00:38:18You're Luke, right? Your Libra factory got the military contract.
00:38:22Well, 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.
00:38:30You, your father, and every single one of those bottom-fleeting workers in your factory
00:38:35will 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.
00:38:55Why 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.
00:39:06Don'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.
00:39:22See 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!
00:39:30Open fire!
00:39:31Blow his damn brains out!
00:39:39Everyone stand down!
00:39:56Chairman Galloway!
00:39:58You're here just in time.
00:40:02This 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.
00:40:15I 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.
00:40:59But 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.
00:41:19Chairman Galloway.
00:41:28EADEN Consortium welcomes Mr. Barrett.
00:41:32My sincerest apologies.
00:41:35I failed to keep my subordinates in order.
00:41:38Allowing these two to assault you is a crime punishable by death.
00:41:53It's been a while, old friend.
00:41:59It's been a while, old friend.
00:42:04It's been a while, old friend.
00:42:16I guess you still haven't wiped off that grease smell yet.
00:42:20Guess you still haven't got yourself a wardrobe, Stylers.
00:42:24What?
00:42:24The Chamlin just...
00:42:26hugged that low-class trash?
00:42:33As 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, maybe 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.
00:43:43You're doing it wrong.
00:43:44If 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!
00:43:59Critical fault detected.
00:44:00Core pressure exceeds maximum threshold.
00:44:03Core meltdown sequence initiated.
00:44:06Estimated time to building collapse.
00:44:08100 seconds.
00:44:09You fool!
00:44:11You screwed it all up!
00:44:20Impossible.
00:44:21It has to be a hardware problem.
00:44:33Grandpa...
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!
00:44:49Luke, 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!
00:45:18My 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, Luke, I 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!
00:45:39So 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.
00:46:24What? This... this is a lifesaver!
00:46:28Luke, 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.
00:46:45I don't even want to think about what might have happened otherwise.
00:46:52I don't want to think about what might have happened otherwise.
00:47:05Dad.
00:47:06I'm sorry.
00:47:08I 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.
00:47:39Well, it isn't the little owner of the Lower City parts shop.
00:47:43You 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.
00:48:04What 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.
00:48:21Wearing that to come ask for handouts at a military fortress, doesn't it strike you as a bit ridiculous?
00:48:30Father.
00:48:31Good evening, everyone.
00:48:33I'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 is an extreme waste of federal resources.
00:48:46Everyone step back, keep a ten-yard distance.
00:48:48Who knows what diseases they might be carrying.
00:49:01Anyone care to look at our invitation letter?
00:49:08Take a look.
00:49:09This is the highest level invitation there is, issued by Eden Consortium.
00:49:12This is the highest level invitation.
00:49:12This is the highest level invitation.
00:49:19Interesting.
00:49:21Check it out, folks.
00:49:22These 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.
00:49:29No wonder they got through the door.
00:49:31Tricking 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.
00:49:37Why 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, carrying a forged military certificate is intendant to espionage.
00:49:57Van, destroy the contraband.
00:50:07And now they are the third calling for him.
00:50:08You said you had an invitation?
00:50:09Well, not anymore.
00:50:11Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:50:23Ha, ha, ha!
00:50:26Destroying that invitation means you're directly opposing the wishes of the Federation's top leadership.
00:50:32You'll be stripped of your ranks and expelled from this fortress.
00:50:35Stripped of our ranks?
00:50:37Expelled from the fortress?
00:50:39No one in the entire Federal Defense Council has the authority to give an order like that.
00:50:44Here in Fortress 42, whatever I say goes.
00:50:49I'll see what Supreme Commander Titus Stone thinks about that.
00:50:57Did he just say Supreme Commander Stone, the Federation's highest authority?
00:51:01Look at what he's holding.
00:51:02Some old artifact that's been out of production for at least 20 years.
00:51:06What a weird flex.
00:51:07You really think waving that piece of strag metal around is going to scare us?
00:51:11And if that's not enough, you're pretending to know the Supreme Commander?
00:51:16Dad, put that away.
00:51:18We're leaving.
00:51:19Right now.
00:51:23Let him dial.
00:51:26Since he claims to know Supreme Commander Stone, let's watch him make the call.
00:51:30If that piece of scrap turns out to be as useless as it looks,
00:51:33I'll have him thrown into our basement incinerator for insulting Federal authority.
00:51:54Titus, I need you at Fortress 42 in 10 minutes.
00:52:00Wake up my bodyguard and cancel all standby assignments.
00:52:03We're heading to Fortress 42.
00:52:0910 minutes.
00:52:10Look, everyone.
00:52:11The grease monkey's got jokes.
00:52:13Probably just called up the junkyard.
00:52:16God, that's some coarse fabric.
00:52:18Before the commander shows up, why don't you explain why you felt entitled to bring the stench of the lower
00:52:24city into this fortress?
00:52:26If Commander Stone doesn't drop out of the sky in 10 minutes, I'm shoving that piece of scrub metal down
00:52:32your son's throat.
00:52:33Every single inch of it.
00:52:36I'd like to see you try.
00:52:43Van, activate the isolation matrix.
00:52:45I don't want our guests having any further contact with these infected organisms.
00:53:09Play the tough guy all you want.
00:53:11Before you know it, you and your father will be learning the true meaning of hell.
00:53:17Jesus, enough with the boasting.
00:53:20I'm out of patience.
00:53:22Three minutes left.
00:53:24I'm about to use this thing here to crush your communicator and your fingers into dust.
00:53:32Don't touch my father.
00:53:38One more minute.
00:53:42Someone get a biohazard bag ready for when his fingers snap off.
00:53:45We have to keep the metal floor clean.
00:53:47Or just have the cleaning robots toss them out as industrial waste.
00:53:51This is what happens when you go against me.
00:54:04Time's up, Father.
00:54:05You two sure do make a pathetic pair.
00:54:06Couldn't conjure the Supreme Commander even when your lives depended on it.
00:54:10Now all that's left for you to do is die.
00:54:21Land, let him go.
00:54:23Come at me instead.
00:54:34Any last words, old man?
00:54:38Fuck you.
00:54:57Who the hell do you people think you are?
00:55:05Supreme Commander Stone, you've made a personal appearance at Fortress 42.
00:55:10As your subordinate, this is the highest possible honor.
00:55:16Commander Stone, you're here right on time.
00:55:19My son Van and I were about to execute these two lower city commoners
00:55:23for forging their invitations and disturbing Fortress order.
00:55:41Who did you just say you were going to execute?
00:55:45I, Supreme Commander Titus Stone, welcome the Mecha God back to his rightful place.
00:55:52I have failed to keep my reckless subordinates in order.
00:55:57And for that, I await your punishment.
00:56:08It's okay, Titus.
00:56:09I'm just glad you're here.
00:56:23You just said you'd crush my fingers into dust and shove my communicator down my son's throat.
00:56:29We should never have said those things.
00:56:31I made a terrible mistake.
00:56:33Strip Cain and Van Redbril of all ranks and send them to the death row isolation cells on sub-level
00:56:39negative five.
00:56:41Termination will be carried out at dawn!
00:56:51Mr. Barrett, we were blind!
00:56:54We acted like a bunch of ignorant fools!
00:56:56Please, show us some mercy!
00:56:58We never should have spoken out of turn!
00:57:00Just say the word and I'll transfer every corn mine asset in my name to your son as compensation!
00:57:10You're alright, Luke?
00:57:22Maximum level alert.
00:57:24S-Class biological essities detected approaching the fortress at high speed.
00:57:42All personnel, listen to orders.
00:57:47Fire!
00:57:56Follow me!
00:57:58The escape pod only holds two.
00:58:00They can die here for all we care.
00:58:05Luke.
00:58:07Today your old man's gonna teach you to pilot a mech.
00:58:18Titan.
00:58:20Initiate protocol.
00:58:26Fortress AI, fingerprint match confirmed.
00:58:31Blood flow rate and heart rate verification passed.
00:58:34Restrictions lifted.
00:58:42Ready?
00:58:44Ready?
00:58:48Ready?
00:59:02Father, can we actually get out of here?
00:59:04I activated the fortress high-level emergency system.
00:59:07Every entrance, exit, and blast door is now locked.
00:59:11All the people in the hall, they're the perfect bait.
00:59:14While the beast is busy tearing them to pieces, we'll be making our escape.
00:59:21Dad!
00:59:22That asshole cane locked every single door in the fortress.
00:59:26Did he really think that was gonna stop us?
00:59:32Hold on tight, Luke.
00:59:34Take him aside.
00:59:39Alright, here we go.
00:59:41Ignition!
00:59:42Full speed!
00:59:43Shooch!
00:59:51Oh, shooch!
00:59:56Advocator!
00:59:57Shoo-
00:59:58Shoo-
01:00:03sshran!
01:00:04Shoo-
01:00:25High energy strike coming at 60 degrees to the right, concentrate shield energy to the
01:00:29right arm.
01:01:11Good bye everyone!
01:01:24Oh my god.
01:01:27Now Luke.
01:01:38Fire!
01:01:49Fire!
01:01:51Fire!
01:01:54Fire!
01:01:56Fire!
01:01:57Fire!
