Jack!
[Jack] Good job!

THE EAST MARE MARGINIS
[uneasy music plays]
JOINT ARMY
GODDARD BASE
[Windy growls]
[huffs]
[woman] Sorry to keep you fellas waiting.
It's nice to see you again, sexy.
You smell so sweet.
Settle down, stud.
I can see the lust in your eyes.
[soldier] I just can't help it.
[laughs] What type of fun
should we get into today?
[uneasy music continues]
[Windy scoffs]
[Windy] So this is a base
on the Joint Army's front line.
[suspenseful music plays]
I see.
Almost time for it to arrive.
I'm in position at the target point.
Ready when you are, sir.
[Skylum] Roger. Go ahead, Windy.
[laughs]
Let's do this!
[dramatic music plays]
Oh no!
[ominous music plays]
[music stops]
[breathes deeply] We lost the robots.
[Jack exhales]
You must have been scared.
Here, take this blanket, so you--
- [Mary] Fuck off!
- [Georg groans]
[Mary] Hm. What were
those creatures we saw?
Uh
You see
- About that.
- [Mary] Yes?
[Rhys] Well
What had happened was, uh
We're a civilian research unit
that came from Earth
under a commission by M-Atlas Corp.
Those robots we encountered earlier
are unidentified objects.
We don't know much about them.
- M-Atlas Corporation?
- He's lying.
This is the second time we've seen them.
Combined with the disturbances
in the network,
we haven't been able
to contact the exterior.
[Mary] Not sure I believe you.
[jaunty music plays]
[Jack] Mm.
[Mary] But whatever. You guys helped me.
So now it's time for me to help you.
I can guide you to a safe town nearby.
My name is Mary.
Here to serve.
[music stops]
Why am I the only one here?
[Zowan] What's her deal?
Go talk to her, Inanna!
You're right.
I should really go thank her.
Not that! I mean who the hell is she?
It's weird for her to be all alone
in those ruins.
True. How do we know she's not a spy?
But come on, Zowan. We couldn't just
leave her behind in this bad situation.
Please! There's no way
a beautiful girl like her is a spy.
[Zowan] Are you an actual idiot?
Anyway, for the time being,
we just need to rely on her guidance.
You can think whatever you want of her,
but let's just see how it goes.
- [Duan] Rhys.
- Uh
First and foremost,
we need to figure out our own situation.
That's right.
Mm. In Copernicus, we did fail.
We couldn't defeat the person
believed to be Bob Skylum's contact.
[mysterious music plays]
We also don't know the outcome
of the main army's attack on the elevator.
Okay, now that we have retreated,
we must be somewhere around here.
Somewhere near the southern part
of the Sea of Tranquility.
[fading] According to Mary's intel,
there should be a mining town nearby.
[mysterious music continues]
[Jack] What the hell was that?
But also
Phil.
Was that really you?
But that would mean
[exhales]
Why would you do that?
[Rhys] Jack?
- Earth to Jack.
- Huh?
[music stops]
- Are you okay?
- [Jack] Uh, y-yes. Sorry.
Please continue.
Apologies. Please go on.
As I was saying, we need to be careful.
Maybe we should reconsider
our intel about the commanders
and that possible contact
of the Rebel Army.
Yes, we must share
these new developments with headquarters
and wait for our next orders.
But we're a special unit, right?
Can't we make our own decisions?
I know it's frustrating,
but we don't have enough intel.
So it's better
to defer to our supervisors.
[Georg] You're the boss.
[Mary] See? It's up ahead.
So that's the mining town Hypatia.
[Jack] Still, I have to see you
one more time,
Phil.
HYPATIA MINE
[gentle music plays]
[Inanna] Yes, ma'am,
I'll take three of these.
And then four sets of those fruit pouches
right there, please.
[Duan] Get some onions and mushrooms too.
That, and do you have synthetic cheese?
One minute please. I'll check the back.
So, why are you grinning?
Well, check it out!
Lunar eggs!
They're really hard to find on Earth.
Why go through all the trouble
of sneaking away from your friends
to buy something that expensive?
'Cause I've never tried them.
Who cares how expensive they are?
Oh.
And I know Rhys already said it,
but I just wanted to say thank you
for your kindness and guidance.
And for leading us
to such a well-stocked store.
We really owe you.
- [device beeps]
- Huh? There it is!
Mm. No worries. I'm free as a bird anyway.
Besides, this region
is under the Joint Army's control,
so it's hard to navigate.
Best if I keep tagging along.
- [crowd clamoring]
- [Mary] Huh?
[man 1] Everyone, listen up!
Under Benny's leadership, the Obst receive
money and weapons from the Joint Army
to kill our comrades!
Oh, they insist it's for the sake
of the People of the Moon,
but the independence of
the Sea of Tranquility is truly at stake!
The Third and Fourth Headquarters,
they're just Sapientia's little puppets!
We refuse to recognize
this sham government.
[man 2] The advance of the Moon Chains
must be supported!
We must fight
alongside our hero Bob Skylum!
Moonrise!
[crowd] Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!
Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!
Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise! Moonrise!
- Hey, isn't that?
- Yeah.
[crowd] Moonrise!
[shrill tone]
[groans]
- Uh
- [man 2] It's the Obst!
Huh?
[ominous music plays]
[tires screech]
[tires screech]
[screaming]
- [Inanna] Jack!
- What?
- Don't get involved!
- We're still undercover.
Yeah.
- [gunfire]
- [screaming]
[man] Help! Run!
[whimpering]
[gasps]
[tense music plays]
Sir, we have disposed
of all the dissidents and their leaders.
Very good work.
- Hm.
- [gasps]
[music fades]
[tense music plays]
[girl gasps]
Stop there.
Captain, wait.
The girl may blow herself up!
Please refrain from making contact.
[scoffs] It's fine.
Mm.
Hungry?
[tense music continues]
Take it.
[dramatic music plays]
A child of the Rebel Army?
[soldier 1] Freeze, terrorist!
[girl panting]
[gunfire]
[soldier 2] Surround her!
[girl gasps]
[music fades]
[soldier 2] Shit!
Where did she go? Find her now!
[girl whines]
It looks like they're gone.
Wow, you're a wild one!
[girl strains]
Uh Oh. Sorry about that.
Hey.
You okay?
Let me take a look.
Huh?
Your right arm.
Hm.
[exhales]
Do you have a home, little girl?
[gentle music plays]
[music fades]
[operator] Perfect.
I'll set up a private channel.
- Tell us the details on the ground.
- [Rhys] Roger.
We'll replenish supplies and move on.
Thank you.
Zowan?
Well, I'm tracking their energy signature.
I'm hoping we can detect them
a little earlier with this technology.
Sure hope so.
[Zowan gasps]
Hm.
- Is it them?
- [Zowan] No, it's not.
It looks similar, but it's different.
Jeez, what the hell is that?
[tense music plays]
It's inside the town.
- [Osma clears throat]
- Look deeper into it.
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
[cows moo]
[Mary] You're quite the overachiever.
Are you sure your friends are gonna
be okay? Just leaving them like that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they're fine.
Besides, we had to take care
of that little girl.
We have to make sure she gets home.
Don't you wanna make sure
she gets back safely?
[Mary] I'm guessing
you don't have any family left either.
Not anymore.
It's been a year.
Oh.
There's no need
to feel sorry for me. It's okay.
Uh
[gasps]
Follow me.
- Through there?
- Hm.
- [man 1 grunts] Did you see his face?
- [laughs] Time to pay up.
[man 1] Damn it.
[Jack] Dear God.
This place isn't very inviting.
So dark, so dreary.
They could really spruce it up
with some flowers.
[girl] What are flowers?
Huh? Flowers are flowers.
You don't know what those are?
Hm.
[man 2] Well, well, so you're the one
Rin led here.
Hm.
Hm?
Thank you for helping her.
You surely didn't have to.
Of course. I'm just glad
we got her home safely.
- Huh?
- Hm?
Thank you, Rin.
So, I'm guessing your name is Rin, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Wait!
For you. Can you make an omelet?
I've never had one.
But I can try.
[Jack] Good. 'Cause I got a bunch more.
Here, take these.
Oops! And one more.
[gasps]
[melancholy music plays]
So, are you really her father?
[man 2] There aren't any real families
left here anymore.
[Jack] Wha
You must be from Earth, right?
Uh
Yeah, but how could you tell?
[man 2] There are very few people
who can buy eggs around these parts.
Only a few elites can afford to buy them.
Or rich kids from Earth, like you.
[melancholy music continues]
While you Earthlings
Sorry, I should give credit
where it's due.
While Sapientia celebrates
equality on Earth,
here, all that we have left
is inequality and decay.
The people of the Moon divided themselves
into those who admired the Earth,
and those who opposed it,
and they fight like crabs in a bucket.
The civil war in these parts
has been hard on everyone.
Rin's arm is an example of the sacrifices
our people have had to make.
- [Rin] Hey, that's not true!
- Hm?
[melancholy music continues]
The great Bob Skylum gave this to me.
It's precious.
Yes, you're right.
[Jack] Hm.
Hm?
Please join us.
[Rin] Mm.
[hopeful music plays]
[Mary] Hm?
Implement Engrave technology.
[gasps]
Okay, now let's all eat together.
[hopeful music continues]
[gasps]
[Jack] Mmm. It looks delicious!
[Rin] Yeah.
- [music stops]
- [Zowan growls]
[computer beeps]
Where? Where could they be?
Oh, goddammit!
I just hate their faulty signals.
Wait, there's something
hidden in the back.
Okay.
- [Zowan] Ah.
- [Rhys] There's a message hidden inside.
[Zowan] L-Zone?
[Rhys] What do you think "SEED1" means?
Or "The Abaddon"?
Hm.
What will we find next?
Oh no. They're getting closer to Jack!
Why is he going rogue again?
[people scream]
- [Jack grunts]
- [soldier] Don't let anyone escape!
[foreboding music plays]
[groans]
[soldier] Found her! We got the girl!
This way! Hurry!
Hey! Keep your filthy hands to yourself!
[explosion]
[soldier] Keep walking.
[Duan] Another hunt for dissidents.
[Georg] Wait a minute.
That's not the Joint Army's uniform.
They're a different political group.
They're called the Obst.
They're supposed to be
an independent government,
and they're supposed to be
our allies. [gasps]
Word on the street is they're ruthless
against anyone who opposes them.
But then why would they hurt a child?
Looks like the people of the Moon
aren't unified at all, are they?
[gasps]
[Duan] And just when I thought
he ditched us on purpose.
What an idiot.
This is bad.
Let's coordinate with the Joint Army
to get him out.
[foreboding music continues]
Come clean.
It seems impossible
you made it all the way here on your own.
So clearly, someone must have helped you.
But who?
I'm going to need names.
[Jack inhales]
[man exhales]
[foreboding music continues]
Hm.
- [captain grunts]
- [Rin groans]
[Jack snarls]
[gasps]
[groans softly]
[tense music plays]
I'll ask you again.
Who helped all of you escape?
- [man] Let her go, please!
- Hm.
Or?
[Mary gasps] Wait!
- [Jack] Hey!
- [gasps]
[music fades]
[soldier 1] Urgh!
What is it?
- [liquid gurgles]
- [soldier 1 whimpers]
[soldier 2 yells]
What's that?
Is he dead?
[dramatic music plays]
[moans]
[groans]
[soldier 3] Retreat!
[gunfire]
[groaning]
Get out of my way! They're coming! Run!
[dramatic music continues]
- [Rin yelps]
- [captain panting]
[music stops]
[dramatic music plays]
[yells]
[Jack] What's happening?
[gasps]
[grunts]
[Mary] Jack!
Are you okay?
[Jack] Yeah.
What the hell?
What was that?
[captain] Damn parasites!
Die, Moon scum!
Grenade incoming!
[dramatic music builds]
[music fades]
[explosion rumbles]
