- Loss of target mass due
to projectile impact confirmed.
- Black box signals of both 2B
and 9S have been confirmed.
- Satellite laser weapon
entering cool down period.
- We have yet
to get authorization
from the Council of Humanity
to use the laser.
Did everything go all right?
Commander?
- We have a need
to seek out God.
Even if the god we seek
is non-existent.
- Huh?
- That was
a satellite laser weapon.
- Commander.
- Report: special unit signal
faintly detected.
- But how?
- It didn't die
from that last attack?
Hey, Pod.
Identify the--
- Location has been identified.
I've marked it on your map.
- 2B?
- Yeah.
- [grunts]
Everyone, please go rescue
the other injured units.
- Appreciate it.
- If things go well,
grab a sample or two.
- Please be careful!
- [grunts]
Right, let's go.
- Roger.

- I owe you, 9--

- What's wrong?
- [groaning]
- 9S, no!
- [laughs]
I really screwed up.
When I detached
from Adam's network,
I must have been corrupted.
[shouting]
[gasps]
- 9S.
- It's okay.
I can just reload myself
with my backup data in
the bunker.
- But if you do that,
then we'll lose
your current self.
- [grunts]
Right.
But because of protocol,
we can't upload corrupted data
to the bunker.
So it must be done.
- 9S.

2B.
2B, please.
[gasps]
End me by your hands.

- Whoa, hold on, 2B!
- Is that
- Looks like I left some
personal data behind on
the machine life-form side.
I guess my sense of self
was regenerated over
the surrounding network.
Having multiple selves fused
together like this
is a pretty valuable experience.
I couldn't access
my storage areas yet,
so I just multiplexed
it over the memories
of some nearby enemies,
so when I return to my own body,
I could probably just--
- 9S.
What a relief.
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- And so the final battle
with Adam and Eve came
to an abrupt end.
This battle is bound
to have a great affect
on the outcome of the war.
But until that outcome
is decided,
2B and I will continue
our fight.
However, that's another story.

- Request by Pod 153.
Authorization
to initialize spare chassis
in the bunker during
the data overhaul of 9S
which this unit is currently
the follower of.
Authorization confirmed.

Engaging memory
core diagnostics.
- Yeah, yeah.
- A single reply is sufficient.
- Fine.
[beeps]
- Memory diagnostics complete.
No issues detected.
Further diagnostics advised.
- Fine.
[beeping]
[whooshes]
[beeping]
[beeping]
- Visual sensor diagnostics
complete.
No issues detected.
All checks complete.
- [exhales sharply]
Well, I'm finally done
checking everything,
from my memory to my body.
Don't you think
a full data overhaul
is a bit overboard?
- You were seized by the enemy
and placed in
a non-controlled state
for an extended period of time.
Therefore, there
is a high chance
of infiltration
from an enemy logic virus.
- All right, all right.
I get it.
Anyway, I just gotta synch up
with the bunker server
and then I'm done, right?
[beeps]
[mechanical whirring]
[buzzing]
Huh? Pod?
- Unknown.
- Halt the data synch.
- Alert: data synch is mandatory
for all YoRHa units.
- I'm worried about
that noise just now.
Pod, go ahead and halt
the data synch for 2B
while you're at it.
- Affirmative.
- And just to be sure,
how 'bout we figure out where
that noise came from?
Open up a port to the server.
- Affirmative.
[whooshing]
[dramatic music]
♪
- No time to examine everything.
Better stick
to packets that have
the fewest amount of views.
[beeps]
That one.
[beeping]
- Detected: access log
to Council of Humanities
lunar server.
- These are records
for supplies shipped
to the moon.
Well, that's odd.
Why did they ship
empty containers?
This seems kinda unnecessary,
doesn't it?
[buzzing]
- Alert: we are not authorized
to further access any
of the data listed.
- Yeah, but this is too weird
to ignore.
I need to check these out, too.
[beeping]
[gasps]
An attack barrier?
[guns rapidly firing]
Why the hell would they install
these within this server?
Pod, get us outta here!
Reactivate my body!
Pod, answer me!
Dammit!
[gasps]
Aww, crap!
- 9S.
- [grunts]
Hurry!
Close the server,
before the attack barrier--
- 9S.
- [gasps]
Uh, Pod?
[gasps]
Is this a new port?
[buzzing]
both: Hello, YoRHa unit 9S.
- Who are you?
- Welcome.
- [grunts]
I can't--I can't move my body!
Is this a new defensive program?
both: All of us are perpetually
monitoring the androids.
- Monitoring?
- At times as a form
of violence.
- At times as a form of hatred.
- And at times
as a form of love.
- Various stimulations.
both: We provided diverse trains
of thought--
a colorful array of logic--
to machine life-forms.
And soon after,
we began to monitor
how androids would respond
to these newfound variations.
- Is this some kind
of self-reliant virus?
No, this is inside
the bunker's server.
both: But it's all over now.
- [gasping]
Hold on!
What do you mean--
[shouts]
Again, my body
- With this,
preparations are now complete.
- And that's why he must--
- Be given the gift of clarity--
the fruit of truth.
The truth.

- After a long period
of battles and adventures,
the prophet spoke.
- That's my voice.
What's it doing here?
[static buzzing]
- Oh, grant me the mercy
of the land.
- This data is info about
the origins of the Council
of Humanities' part
of Project YoRHa.
Wait, isn't that backwards?
- from my yolk of iron
- That means the Council
of Humanities
- Led to salvation.
Forever
And ever.
- [gasps]
- Report: during unit 9S's
data overhaul,
an error occurred causing
420 seconds of system downtime.
- [groans]
Because of that failure, huh?
My memory data's all out
of whack
from what happened
during diagnosis.
- Currently 9S has not completed
the data synch,
a process that is mandatory
for all YoRHa units.
Proposal: immediate data synch.
- There still might be
some problems with the data,
so let's delay the synch
for now.
- Affirmative.
Emergency backup request
from 2B.
- From 2B?
- 9S.
- Operator?
What happened?
- We detected large numbers
of machine life-forms throughout
the factory area where 2B is.
We received a support request
from 2B soon thereafter
but reception has been poor.
- [grunts]
I understand.
Then I'll see
if I can gain access
from the main terminal.
- Roger that.
[buzzing]
- Come on, Pod.
Let's go.

- Please entertain us,
YoRHa unit
Number Nine.
[static hissing]
- What separates us androids
from the machine life-forms
we wage war against?
The machines
have gained emotions
and consciousness.
The final screams
that they summoned
when faced with death
Still echo within my mind.
Endlessly.
