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.
00:01:34Dad? 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? This is a federal fleet event. They could kill us anytime they wanted. Put the wrench
00:02:01away.
00:02:02I just fixed it. The damn thing was about to blow. Would have taken half the room with it.
00:02:07Hmph. Since 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.
00:02:33Hydraulics are off balance. Stick any of them in a real fight and it folds like 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? Go find a corner. Stay there.
00:02:44Don't talk. Don't touch a single thing. Can you do that?
00:02:47That'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.
00:02:58Luke, you brought this guy? What, 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.
00:03:53Luke, just send your old man into the ring to fake an injury. Maybe you can squeeze a medical bill
00:03:57out of us.
00:04:01Can't stop staring, huh, old man? That's my neon leviathan. When the combat test begins, my pilot is gonna dismantle
00:04:08your 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.
00:04:24You 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-stained nobody who spent his whole life sniffing exhaust is out here critiquing Dax's engineering team? I can't
00:04:40breathe!
00:04:42Dad, please, just shut up! Why can't you just not make everything worse for once?
00:04:47Relax. We're not gonna lose the live match. Besides, I came because I wanted to introduce you to someone.
00:04:55I heard Elena's gonna be here today. What do you think of her?
00:05:01Your dad isn't just useless, he's delusional. A sewer rat like you going after a consortium iris?
00:05:23Ms. 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, Ms. 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 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.
00:06:22What's wrong, Luke? Cold feet?
00:06:26A 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?
00:06:48Son, 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 Ms. 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 Ms. 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 box 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.
00:07:21Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:07:33Son, the match is about to start. Where are you taking me?
00:07:36Where am I taking you?
00:07:38Out of here!
00:07:40Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough today?
00:07:47What is wrong with you?
00:07:50You picked a fight with Dax and then, in front of everyone, told me to go after Elena.
00:07:55Did you see the way those people looked at us?
00:07:57Like we crawled out of a sewer.
00:07:59Everything I said was true.
00:08:01The neon lebarathon is full of holes.
00:08:03Do what I tell you and the Libra can't lose.
00:08:06As for that woman...
00:08:07I'm sick of your shit!
00:08:10We haven't paid anyone in two months.
00:08:12The 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 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.
00:08:25You just cut off our last lifeline!
00:08:27Son, as long as I'm here, nothing touches the Libra.
00:08:31Save your breath.
00:08:32Take 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.
00:08:40Stay out of it.
00:08:43Go!
00:08:44And 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.
00:09:37Max, I finally found you.
00:09:40It's an honor, sir.
00:09:41Hey, get up.
00:09:43The ground is dirty and your dress is probably expensive.
00:09:45Don't ruin it.
00:09:46Five 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.
00:09:54Getting 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.
00:10:02I understand.
00:10:03Mr. Barrett, please come with me to the VIP platform.
00:10:06Best view in the arena.
00:10:21Oh, look who's back.
00:10:24Alone?
00:10:25Where's your old man?
00:10:27Does 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.
00:10:44Even 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?
00:11:00Miss 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's got 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.
00:11:44Okay.
00:11:49That's enough, Elena.
00:11:50Leave the small stuff to machines.
00:11:52It's an honor just to be in your presence.
00:11:54Handing 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.
00:12:08Dad?
00:12:08Is that you?
00:12:10Is that you?
00:12:10Is that you?
00:12:12Is that you?
00:12:15Is that you?
00:12:20What am I looking at?
00:12:21Miss Galloway is shining that junk man's shoes?
00:12:25Dax.
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?
00:12:45Come up.
00:12:45Me?
00:12:53Elena.
00:12:53This 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?
00:13:17It's an honor to meet you, Luke.
00:13:19As for the contract and everything else, I think we should find somewhere quiet to talk.
00:13:24Mr. 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 her 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.
00:13:52Who 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.
00:14:01He 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?
00:14:19He admit it!
00:14:20He's just a bum who snucked in.
00:14:22No credentials, no entry.
00:14:24You can explain yourself in hell.
00:14:26Take it.
00:14:32Baxter gets to the Federal Dome in ten minutes.
00:14:34Some clown covered in tin decorations wants to put me down.
00:14:39Excuse 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?
00:14:48Something next?
00:14:49That he's Max Barrett, the legendary federal hero?
00:14:52Hold 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.
00:15:00Fine.
00:15:01Ten minutes.
00:15:02If Commander General Owens doesn't show, I'll personally make you wish you never walked into this 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?
00:15:28Two minutes.
00:15:29The ten aren't even up, but I'm done waiting.
00:15:33Honestly, letting a dead man sit there this long was already more patience than he deserved.
00:15:39Show's over.
00:15:41Commander 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!
00:15:51Drag 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!
00:16:04I'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?
00:16:19He 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
00:16:27execution, right?
00:16:28This 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?
00:16:39Buying yourself a few more seconds with a piece of garbage?
00:16:43Garbage or not, stick 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.
00:16:54You 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.
00:17:05See?
00:17:05I told you it was junk.
00:17:08Even the scanner can't read it.
00:17:13Federal 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?
00:17:39Colonel Stern, I'm sorry.
00:17:41Whatever my father did, I'll make it right.
00:17:44I'll pay for everything.
00:17:47Elena.
00:17:49Colonel Stern.
00:17:51I just received an emergency notification from on high.
00:17:54Commander General Owens is quickly and personally leading a formation toward this dome.
00:17:58Estimated arrival, ten minutes.
00:18:01Commander General Owens?
00:18:03The Federation's greatest military commander here?
00:18:06At a commercial bidding event?
00:18:08Wait, didn't that old man just say into that beat-up communicator,
00:18:12get to the Federal Dome in ten minutes?
00:18:13Was that actually real?
00:18:15No way.
00:18:15Think about it.
00:18:16A grease-soaked nobody knowing the Supreme Commander?
00:18:19He forged that chip he had to.
00:18:21Triggered the level zero alarm, spooked the whole defense system.
00:18:24Baxter isn't coming for a visit.
00:18:26He's coming to arrest this old fraud.
00:18:28That's exactly what this is.
00:18:31Everyone shut up!
00:18:32He's right.
00:18:33The commander is coming to deal with a traitor.
00:18:35The match countdown.
00:18:37Is it time?
00:18:38Then kick off the death match right now.
00:18:41I want the bidding wrapped up before the commander sets foot in here.
00:18:45When this match is over and the commander arrives,
00:18:49we'll find out exactly what you are.
00:18:55The
00:18:55The
00:18:55The
00:18:55The
00:18:59Let's go.
00:19:37You actually thought that rust-tap could take a billion credit contract from us?
00:19:42Go to hell!
00:19:50No!
00:19:52Gotcha.
00:20:00Move!
00:20:01Libra!
00:20:02Move!
00:20:21Get 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 Meech Corps is intact, a replacement pilot can 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 death match is over.
00:20:59The Neon Leviathan wins.
00:21:11Colonel Stern, the military contract bid in two days.
00:21:14I need a guaranteed win.
00:21:16Ah, Dax.
00:21:18Allow me to congratulate us both on a very productive partnership in advance.
00:21:24Arrest this man right now for disrupting the event.
00:21:27Pull the defeated pilot off the arena floor too.
00:21:29Per security protocol, send them both straight to the underground waste incinerator.
00:21:34No ID verification.
00:21:43No ID verification.
00:21:46Come on!
00:21:49Ah!
00:22:08That's Commander General Owen's warship!
00:22:24Commander! 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. Vance
00:23:02told me he makes the rules. Understood.
00:23:07Max is correct! Per the code, the match continues!
00:23:12Watch closely. Let me show you what a real mech pilot looks like.
00:23:17Dad, the Libris left arm is gone. Power 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.
00:23:45Now!
00:23:47Now!

00:23:55You how to protect me!

00:25:03good timing five 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 he 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

00:34:48i'll just tell him it's the price i paid for my research
00:34:59what the hell are you doing here

00:35:06if you hadn't released the locks when you did
00:35:08the 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

00:35:30he's dismantling the chairman's things
00:35:32that's not true

00:35:42you're sure looking pretty smug right now aren't you
00:35:45too bad it's not gonna last

00:35:55eden consortium's core components
00:35:57that's chloe 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.
00:36:46You have five seconds to do what I told you.
00:36:50Five...
00:36:52Four...
00:36:54Three...
00:36:55Two...
00:37:07Three...
00:37:08Miss Galloway.
00:37:08The Chairman's Carvoy has entered level negative three through the gravity car at all.
00:37:13I need to go down and meet my grandfather.
00:37:15Victor said your father's at the rooftop observatory.
00:37:18Take the elevator up.
00:37:18I'll bring my grandpa there shortly.
00:37:20Alright, I'll go first. See you later.
00:37:27Three...
00:37:29Three...
00:37:36Two...
00:37:44Dead!
00:37:46Beauty...
00:37:51Dad! What's going on?
00:37:59Perfect 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 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.
00:38:40You'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!
00:39:06Luke, 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.
00:39:22See 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!
00:39:29Open fire!
00:39:31Blow his damn brains out!
00:39:39Everyone stand down!
00:39:49Everyone stand down!
00:39:57Chairman Galloway!
00:39:58You're here just in time.
00:40:02This scavenging thief snuck into your private office through the garbage duct
00:40:06and 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
00:40:53their 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 Ms. Kibara.
00:41:31My 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.
00:42:15I guess you still haven't wiped off that grease smell yet.
00:42:20I guess you still haven't got yourself a wardrobe stylist.
00:42:23What?
00:42:24The Chamlin just...
00:42:26hugged that low-class trash?
00:42:32As you can see,
00:42:34the first-gen Titan Core's energy matrix
00:42:36has reached its breaking point.
00:42:41Without the Titan data card to guide it,
00:42:44plasma 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...
00:42:58Cancel 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!
00:43:11I 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,
00:43:27maybe 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.
00:43:44If you hit Execute now,
00:43:45the core will melt down instantly.
00:43:46I don't need a grease monkey hovering over me
00:43:49and 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.
00:44:05Estimated time to build and 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, is 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!
00:44:50Sorry.
00:44:55Core energy frequency restored to stable level.
00:44:59Meltdown 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.
00:45:26Chairman Galloway, I'm Eden's most prized asset.
00:45:29Please 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!
00:46:04I got to say, Luke, they kind of had that coming.
00:46:11Max, 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?
00:46:24This...
00:46:24This 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.
00:47:05Dad...
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.
00:48:02This 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,
00:48:23doesn'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
00:48:43is 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?
00:49:07Take a look.
00:49:09This is the highest level invitation there is, issued by Eden Consortium.
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.
00:49:33These 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.
00:49:45The letter's real. Give it back.
00:49:49In Fortress 42, carrying a forged military certificate is intended to espionage.
00:49:57Then, destroy the country.
00:50:07You said you had an invitation?
00:50:09Well, not anymore.
00:50:26Destroying 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 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 gonna scare us?
00:51:11And if that's not enough, you're pretending to know the Supreme Commander?
00:51:16Dad!
00:51:17Put 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 the Federal authority.
00:51:37Huh.
00:51:41Hmph.
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, the 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!
00:53:19Enough 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.
00:54:21Let him go! Come 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!
00:55:07You've made a personal appearance at Fortress 42.
00:55:10As your subordinate, this is the highest possible honor.
00:55:16Commander Stone!
00:55:17You'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.
00:56:18Commander Stone!
00:56:19I didn't know!
00:56:20I genuinely didn't know he was...
00:56:24You just said you'd crush my fingers into dust
00:56:26and 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!
00:56:52We 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 alright, Luke?
00:57:11You 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!
