MOON
COPERNICUS CITY
[soldier 1] This is the 54th Assault Unit.
Subjugation completed.
Main headquarters front plaza. LZ green.
Roger. I repeat, LZ green.
[soldier 2] Roger. Will communicate this
to the Mothership, per protocol.
Unit 54, stay on course
and move to Point India.
[soldier 1] Roger. Moving now.
[suspenseful music plays]
[dramatic music plays]
[man 1] Hurry, we need to take control
of the 5th unit.
I'll send Salamandra over there.
[music stops]
Hm?
[tense music plays]
[man 1] Where is he?
[electronic voice] A class 10
hazardous item has been detected.
All guests remain in place
and follow the staff's instructions.
I repeat, a class ten hazardous item
has been detected.
All guests remain in place
and follow the staff's instructions.
- [man 1] We've finally done it.
- [Skylum] Indeed.
We've finally reached
the nucleus of Copernicus.
[man 2 whimpers]
[electronic voice] A hazardous item
has been detected.
All guests remain in place and follow--
- [man 2 groans]
- On your feet.
Bo-Bob Skylum? Is it really you?
Whoa. [grunts]
[whimpers]
[dramatic music plays]
[Skylum] Well, well, Mr. Mayor.
It looks like you pay close attention
to the administration
and operations of your city.
Its defensive capabilities are unmatched.
[chuckles] Yes, that's very true.
I'm here because Sapientia
recognized my abilities.
I'm much better
than the other useless trash!
The system here is highly advanced.
and only I have the rights to control it.
Th-Th-That's why-- [gasps]
- [music stops]
- [device whirs]
And who has the rights now, Mr. Mayor?
Impossible! The Copernicus Elevator.
Only a matter of time,
then they'll take control over it.
And our infiltration will be compromised.
Yes, but still,
our mission hasn't changed,
so we must keep pushing forward.
He's right. The more time passes,
the more difficult it'll be to infiltrate.
There are some railroads
below a very small base near here.
I see a route that connects directly to
Copernicus's underground from right there.
That's it. Let's forget
the initial route above.
Zowan, share the plan with--
Argh! It got away-ay-ay!
[Jack groans softly]
- [growls]
- [Jack sighs]
[Eric] Jack! Even if you're using
a private network,
you shouldn't be playing silly games!
Listen to me, Eric.
There are some special species of monsters
that only live on the Moon.
You should play too. You might catch one!
[growling] Jack! Grrr.
[alert beeps]
[soldier] Unidentified vessel,
this is a warning.
You are entering
the Moon Chains' airspace.
Upload your ID or leave immediately.
Told you, Jack!
My bad.
[grunts] Rhys, what do we do now?
If the bases have already fallen,
we won't stand a chance.
We stick to the plan. We infiltrate!
We'll take advantage
of the confusion in Copernicus.
[tense music plays]
- Zowan!
- Let's go!
Buckle up, buttercup!
[dramatic music plays]
Captain Grice, the unidentified vessel
from earlier is approaching.
They're 20 klicks ahead of us.
Squads 1 to 3,
there's a vessel incoming from--
- [static]
- [gasps]
[dramatic music continues]
Shit! Disconnect the cables.
They've already hacked into our signal!
Too late, suckers! [laughs]
[soldier 1] Captain?
- That's strange.
- [soldier 2] Something wrong?
[soldier 1] I don't know. My call
to the captain just got disconnected.
[soldier 2] System malfunction?
I'll confirm with--
- [soldier 2 groans]
- [soldier 1 gasps]
[soldier 1 groans]
[dramatic music continues]
[soldier 3 breathes heavily]
[dramatic music continues]
- [Jack grunts]
- [soldier 3 groans]
[soldier 4] Damn it!
[dramatic music continues]
[Jack grunts]
- [gunshot]
- [music fades]
[Jack exhales]
[whooshing]
[spaceship engine rumbles]
[man] Mm, fantastic.
With this much energy,
we'll finally be able
to activate the L-Zone!
Which is our
WISE CROWNE, COMMANDER
MOON CHAINS (REBEL ARMY)
No, everyone's great hope! [sighs happily]
[tuts] You're exaggerating
as always, moron!
WINDY SYLPH, COMMANDER
MOON CHAINS (REBEL ARMY)
Now can someone get me something to eat.
I'm so hungry. Aren't you, Doc?
DOCTOR SALAMANDRA
This will change the war's outcome
and the Moon's divine destiny.
[Windy sighs]
This is why I only talk
to gloomy dudes like you.
I'm hungry too.
NOVICE HARBINGER
I want my moon beef now.
[Windy] We're totally on the same page
today, dude. Weird, right?
- But moon beef is a little over the top--
- [radio crackles]
Sylph here.
Copy.
How's everything progressing, Windy?
We're almost finished
taking control of the area.
However
However?
There was a communication failure
in one of our outpost bases.
It seems to have returned to normal
almost immediately.
Still, maybe we send some drones
to be safe?
[grunts]
There's more radiation down here
than I thought there would be.
I'm sure the freight train
will pass real soon.
But we keep moving
before they discover us.
Good call.
Could you show us the route?
[Zowan] You got it. Buckle up, buttercup!
[Duan] Hm.
What happened?
[Georg] This is so cool!
[grunts] There really is [grunts]
less gravity!
Eric, you gotta try this.
[computer beeps]
Incoming!
[ominous music plays]
[grunts]
[Georg] Hey, come on!
What are you doing, Zowan?
Damn it!
Their high-stealth tech was undetectable!
Team, we're retreating.
- Let's regroup at Point Charlie now!
- [all] Roger!
[ominous music continues]
- Hey, what about the ship?
- Leave it behind.
- [Jack] But we need it!
- You wanna go back then?
Yeah. We still have time.
- [gunfire]
- [Jack yelps]
Forget it, let's go!
- [Georg] Eric, which way?
- [Eric] Follow me!
Hey, Eric! Duan! Get out of here!
Georg and I will cover you!
[dramatic music plays]
Roger. I'll move ahead
to calculate the escape route.
[rapid gunfire]
[dramatic music continues]
[Skylum] Harbinger,
what does that look like to you?
[Harbinger] That light?
Yeah. They're using Engrave tech.
Amazing.
[Harbinger] Robert?
[Skylum] Could you
lend me a hand, Harbinger?
[music fades]
[panting]
That everything?
Yeah. But we gotta
get out of here right now.
[exhales, gasps]
Wha?
[metal clangs]
[electricity crackles]
[groans]
[groans]
[Skylum] I'm impressed.
Your fighting skills are very advanced.
Advanced enough to battle me?
[snarls]
Bob Skylum!
[tense music pulses]
No way! Are you sure?
[Jack] There's no doubt in my mind.
It is Bob Skylum!
[Jack yells]
[dramatic music plays]
[music fades]
[soaring dramatic music plays]
Oh no!
Stop! You can't beat him now.
Jack! Retreat now!
Georg, you have to stop him!
Here we go.
[Jack grunts]
[soaring dramatic music continues]
[strains]
Wow, this fight is making me
feel something I haven't felt in a while.
[tense music plays]
[strains]
[dramatic music resumes]
What?
Did you think Earth was the only place
in the universe with Engrave tech?
[gasps]
[dramatic music crescendos]
[suspenseful music plays]
[Jack gasps]
[music stops]
[rubble clatters]
[breathes heavily]
- Georg!
- You shut up and come with me now!
[Georg grunts]
[suspenseful music plays]
[Georg] And we're out!
That was a close call.
[gasps]
[dramatic music plays]
[gasps]
[strains]
[Georg strains]
[strains]

[tense music plays]
[engine booms]
[music stops]
Whiz-B, I need you to do me a favor.
[Duan] Don't worry.
I expect a full recovery.
[metal clangs]
[grunting]
Georg! Jack!
[Jack grunts] Shit!
Fuck!
Jack, you need to take it easy.
If you keep this up,
you're gonna get yourself killed.
[groans softly]
[uneasy music plays]
[music fades]
[Georg] Not gonna lie,
the view from up here is stunning.
COPERNICUS
UNDERCITY
[Inanna] The Moon's underground cities
have expanded each year.
Like an ant colony.
Things down here
are a little different than we're used to,
so try your best to blend in.
You know, given that the government
officers and army live above,
I expected the underground cities
to have some safety issues,
but this is unreal.
It looks like
the war on the Moon's surface
hasn't reached this community yet.
Still, the levels of radiation down here
are very high.
If the nuclear reactors
are on the surface,
the levels here shouldn't be this high.
They say they've controlled
the radioactive materials, but
I know! Yesterday,
we also found areas with high levels.
[Rhys] I bet the high radiation levels
are related to the destruction
of the orbital elevators.
Come, this way.
Huh?
[Georg] Here. Take this.
[woman] Wait! Y-You're giving it to me?
- [Georg] Yes, but
- [groans]
- [woman] You must be a rich guy?
- [Georg] Hold up.
- [woman] Give me more! Please!
- [Georg] I don't have any more.
[woman] I know you're lying.
Hey, mister, you kinda smell
like someone I know.
- [woman] Please, give me a little more!
- [Georg] That's enough!
[woman] You have a lot of money, right?
- I desperately need it.
- [Georg] Stop!
- [woman] You have so much.
- [Georg] I'll give it to you!
I will. Just leave me alone!
[jazz music plays],
- [woman] Come on!
- [Georg] He's winning! Come on!
- [woman] Here we go.
- [Georg] Attaboy! Let's go!
- [Duan snarls]
- Come on! Win!
Don't fail me now!
[customers chatter]
[jazz music continues in distance]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sighs] The team is making such a scene.
Don't they know this is a covert mission?
Well, they seem fine to me.
[Rhys] You're the last person
I wanna hear that from.
Mm, I don't know.
I think they're blending in pretty well.
Mm-hmm?
Moving on. We're supposed to meet
with our contact down here,
but as of now, they're running behind.
I say just give them some more time.
They're probably just taking
all the necessary steps and precautions.
I sure hope you're right.
Hey, Jack? Are you mad at me?
[Jack] Hm?
[chuckling] Nope.
You made the right call.
[Rhys] Bullshit.
You've been sulking since yesterday.
I promise I'm not angry.
It's just I didn't realize
I had that in me.
When I saw him,
when the man who took
my mom and dad was staring at me,
I became a totally different person.
If you and Georg hadn't stopped me,
I may have
[somber music plays]
Hey, Jack, do you think it's possible
that your friend Phil might be alive?
I don't
It's possible.
[Jack] When it happened,
I saw Phil for a fleeting moment.
But I have no proof
that it was really him.
[Zowan] Just tell me
what your freaking deal is!
[Georg groans]
- Stop that, sis!
- [glass tinkles]
Zowan, calm down!
What the
A spoiled rich kid like you
has some nerve giving people handouts!
[grunts] Come on!
[Jack] Hey, hey, calm down!
What the hell happened?
[scoffs] I bet you're the same as him.
[man] You see that motley crew?
Never seen them around here before.
[customers mutter]
Any brilliant ideas?
Uh, maybe we should come back later?
[bar worker] I gotta warn you,
there's no fighting in the bar.
I'm gonna need you
to come to the back with me.
[Jack gasps]
[Jack] Wow! Who would have thought?
I can't believe
there's a base below that bar.
[man] It's the last place anyone would
think to look. That's why we chose it.
Allow me to introduce you all
to our base's captain. Harry Cox.
[upbeat music plays]
[gasps]
[Jack grunts]
Thank God you survived! Harry!
There, there.
Who's that?
Beats me. I've never met this guy before.
I know him. He used to be Jack's butler.
Looks like he survived.
Great job making it all the way here.
As of yesterday, all the surface districts
have fallen to the rebel army.
Since this layer is in a district
that the Earth doesn't control,
nothing here has changed.
But the number of unfamiliar outsiders
has been growing.
[Rhys] So, that's why you didn't
contact us immediately at the bar?
[Harry] Yes. We wanted
to be sure it was you.
- [Eric] Zowan!
- Just let her be!
[Eric] I don't want her to get hurt.
I'm going after her.
- [Inanna] I'll come with you!
- I'll be okay.
- Please show him the right way.
- [bar worker] Hm.
[Harry] Well, then, why don't
the rest of you go to your rooms?
We can discuss the upcoming plan
after you've rested.
Oh, come on, Harry, please.
I still can't believe
you're a part the army, man.
[Harry laughs] Well, officially,
I'm still a missing person.
Oh, really?
Indeed. It's much better
for our covert mission if I stay that way.
Many of the people who live in this area
don't even have ID.
No surprise there.
[music stops]
Come on. You knew that?
Yes. That's why Zowan was pissed at you.
[gasps]
- [explosion]
- [all gasp]
- What happened?
- Upstairs!
Jack!
