1. Was any of this for good or bad?
I really couldn't say.Copy !req
2. But like most people, I guess...Copy !req
3. I was raised in the
same country I was born.Copy !req
4. My family was middle-class, pretty ordinary.Copy !req
5. And so, I've never known the troubles of the rich...Copy !req
6. or the hardships of the poor.Copy !req
7. To tell you the truth, I couldn't really care less.Copy !req
8. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Navy pilot.Copy !req
9. You had to join the Navy if you wanted to fly jets...Copy !req
10. They were so fast. Flew so high...Copy !req
11. For me, there could be nothing better than flying.Copy !req
12. But 2 months before
I was to graduate from school...Copy !req
13. I saw that my grades weren't good
enough to let me do any of that.Copy !req
14. And so... I ended up
joining the Space Force.Copy !req
15. "Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honnêamise"Copy !req
16. I just want to
know two things.Copy !req
17. Where have you been? And why
aren't you in dress uniform?Copy !req
18. Might I assume the first question
to be in reference to my past?Copy !req
19. Stop that, damn you!
I'm asking you why you're late!Copy !req
20. Why do you always
have to play the clown?Copy !req
21. You don't think this is serious?
Coming late to a comrade's funeral!Copy !req
22. I was taking a nap
and overslept, sir!Copy !req
23. A man in your own
unit is dead, and you...Copy !req
24. you call yourself
a soldier?Copy !req
25. Forget it.
Just get in line.Copy !req
26. Hey there.Copy !req
27. Hi.Copy !req
28. Why are you late?Copy !req
29. I was just thinking
about some stuff.Copy !req
30. Why aren't you
in dress uniform?Copy !req
31. Knock it off. I don't wanna
wear those hideous clothes.Copy !req
32. Heh, he thinks he's the general now.Copy !req
33. "Coming late to a comrade's
funeral!" He killed the guy!Copy !req
34. It was a test accident, right?Copy !req
35. Yeah, I hear the
police are coming today.Copy !req
36. They think the urine bag ruptured during the space suit test
and shorted the whole thing out.Copy !req
37. Space suit?
What's that?Copy !req
38. You don't know? It's something
you have to wear in space.Copy !req
39. He actually wants to
launch somebody up there.Copy !req
40. Manned artificial satellites.Copy !req
41. That's insane.Copy !req
42. Yeah, that crazy bastard.Copy !req
43. He's not giving up, though.
The next step's gotta be...Copy !req
44. Space Force anthem, prepare!Copy !req
45. Space Force!
Anthem! In unison!Copy !req
46. "With the solar wind on our backs"Copy !req
47. "In the darkness of the galaxy,
we spread our wings to fly"Copy !req
48. "Into the chaos covering our path"Copy !req
49. "The time of judgement for
us all is drawing ever near"Copy !req
50. Majaho got some bread
in the mail. Big box of it.Copy !req
51. Why bread?Copy !req
52. 'Cause his family
owns a bakery.Copy !req
53. Bread, huh?Copy !req
54. Yeah. A bakery'd be nice.
You think they'd hire me?Copy !req
55. Count me out. Probably couldn't
get another job on the outside.Copy !req
56. This place is great.Copy !req
57. At least we don't have to worry
about running out of food here.Copy !req
58. We get hungry because we are alive.
The same for why we can eat...Copy !req
59. I don't wanna die here...Copy !req
60. Ow!Copy !req
61. Lots of free time, Shiro?Copy !req
62. I didn't realise your job
here was to take naps!Copy !req
63. You know what this is?
A one deem coin.Copy !req
64. It can buy you a loaf of
bread or a bottle of oil.Copy !req
65. But they say a Khozel bandit
would kill a man for one of these.Copy !req
66. So, if you think about it,
it's worth quite a lot.Copy !req
67. Overtime pay. Getting an advance
should make you weep with joy!Copy !req
68. And now from you
I want 300 push-ups.Copy !req
69. If you're doing sit-ups,
it'll be 500!Copy !req
70. Tekatta! Tekatta!
Get it while it's hot!Copy !req
71. Why'd you come in uniform?Copy !req
72. Had to. With all that extra work,
I didn't have time to change.Copy !req
73. Embarrassing.
Keep away from me.Copy !req
74. Any gal who sees you
in that thing will just laugh at you.Copy !req
75. Any lady who's heard of
the Space Force would laugh.Copy !req
76. If there was an Army soldier who's
never walked on the ground...Copy !req
77. Hell, I would laugh, too.Copy !req
78. To the spaceship, and the men who passed away.Copy !req
79. You think the old
man's really serious?Copy !req
80. People wouldn't be getting
killed if it was just a game.Copy !req
81. But most people think
of manned space flight...Copy !req
82. as something
of the far future.Copy !req
83. I don't think our Force will
last that far into the future.Copy !req
84. I just hope it'll hold out
till I can find a new job.Copy !req
85. Ask Majaho for one.Copy !req
86. Hit! Hit! Four, three.Copy !req
87. Son of a...!
Two more down.Copy !req
88. That's a strange uniform.Copy !req
89. It's for the Space Force.Copy !req
90. Space Force? What, are we
gonna get attacked by aliens?Copy !req
91. Well, "Lt. Colonel"?Copy !req
92. Knock it off! You're a
"major," for God's sake!Copy !req
93. Two, three, two, one, two!Copy !req
94. For crying out loud, Matti!
Pick on someone else for a change!Copy !req
95. Oh, I give up.Copy !req
96. Don't be so down. The night's
just getting started, eh?Copy !req
97. Hey, gorgeous!
Look over here!Copy !req
98. Hey, baby!
Don't you hear me? Hey!Copy !req
99. Come on!Copy !req
100. This way.Copy !req
101. And don't worry about
the money. My treat.Copy !req
102. I just want to go to sleep.Copy !req
103. You came!Copy !req
104. Tohn! Tohn! You're here!Copy !req
105. No, Matti, you mean.
Matti!Copy !req
106. Matti, Matti, Matti, Matti!
I'm glad you came!Copy !req
107. I like your perfume today.
Ummm, delicious.Copy !req
108. C'mon, I called a
friend to help out today.Copy !req
109. C'mon, c'mon!Copy !req
110. Uh, hey!
You said you'd treat...Copy !req
111. A friend, huh?Copy !req
112. Mimi! Tohn's here!Copy !req
113. Heh, "Tohn," huh?Copy !req
114. The day of
judgement approaches!Copy !req
115. those who live in sin will
surely be cast into hell!Copy !req
116. those who ignore the
path of righteousness...Copy !req
117. those who take no responsibility
for his sins...Copy !req
118. and those who feel no shame
for his transgressions...Copy !req
119. these are all sins!Copy !req
120. Thank you.Copy !req
121. God is weeping for us.Copy !req
122. The day of final judgement which
was promised after mankind first...Copy !req
123. stole the flame from heaven's
ovens is drawing ever near!Copy !req
124. We must all be prepared
for when that day arrives...Copy !req
125. Oh, it's you.
Where're the others?Copy !req
126. It's a holiday today.
You think they'd come back?Copy !req
127. "Please come"? What,
a new whorehouse opened up?Copy !req
128. Oh, and there's
an address, too!Copy !req
129. Ah, knock it off.Copy !req
130. Can I use your foam?Copy !req
131. He who has to beg for foam
is doomed to be a beggar.Copy !req
132. Oh, and you really shouldn't
sleep in a dead man's bed.Copy !req
133. Not good for health.Copy !req
134. Ouch!Copy !req
135. Hello, little guy.
You live here?Copy !req
136. Excuse me? I came because
I saw your flyer.Copy !req
137. Come in!
Come in! Come in! Come in!Copy !req
138. Come right on in!
You're just in time.Copy !req
139. I was about
to make some tea.Copy !req
140. Here, please!
Have a seat!Copy !req
141. I've got some terrish
cooking in the oven.Copy !req
142. You were able to find
the place all right?Copy !req
143. Uh, yeah.
I took the tram out here.Copy !req
144. My name's
Riqunni Nonderaiko.Copy !req
145. Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
146. Pleased to meet you,
Mr. Lhadatt.Copy !req
147. Please, just
call me Shirotsugh.Copy !req
148. Okay, Shirotsugh.
This is wonderful.Copy !req
149. Someone actually came!
How do you take your muuk?Copy !req
150. Strong, please.
Nothing in it.Copy !req
151. So, how old are you, boy?Copy !req
152. Oh, Manna's a little girl.Copy !req
153. Manna, bring the
nice man a plate.Copy !req
154. Thanks...Copy !req
155. I've never seen Manna take to
a stranger so quickly before.Copy !req
156. Here we are.Copy !req
157. Kids just like me,
I guess.Copy !req
158. There you go.
Sorry if it's overdone.Copy !req
159. No, no. Terrish tastes better
when it's a little overcooked.Copy !req
160. Really, it looks delicious.
Let's eat!Copy !req
161. The tea smells
really good, too...Copy !req
162. That was good tea.Copy !req
163. But you're right, times
really are terrible nowadays.Copy !req
164. Adults can no longer judge
what's right and wrong.Copy !req
165. Exactly! And they aren't
bringing kids up right, either.Copy !req
166. The whole world's
just screwed up.Copy !req
167. God's hand foretold all
of this... Oh, by the way!Copy !req
168. Yes?Copy !req
169. You haven't said
what's bothering you.Copy !req
170. Yeah, well... There was
an accident where I work.Copy !req
171. I see.Copy !req
172. And a good friend of
mine died because of it.Copy !req
173. That's terrible.
You must be really upset.Copy !req
174. Yeah, and now I can't seem to
eat or do my job or any—Copy !req
175. So, what sort of
job do you have?Copy !req
176. Uh, well... Have you ever
heard of the Space Force?Copy !req
177. I'm sorry, but...Copy !req
178. You've never heard of it.
I'm not surprised.Copy !req
179. You're a soldier, then?Copy !req
180. Well, we don't fight or anything.Copy !req
181. We're just training
to go into space.Copy !req
182. Oh, space?
You mean to the stars?Copy !req
183. Well, not quite that far.Copy !req
184. What a wonderful
job you have!Copy !req
185. Huh? You think so?Copy !req
186. Yes, I think it's great!Copy !req
187. To be free of the
troubles of this world and...Copy !req
188. to go to the unspoiled
world of the stars...Copy !req
189. Don't you think
that's wonderful?Copy !req
190. Yeah... And we're the only
Space Force in the world, too.Copy !req
191. I've never had such
a wonderful holiday.Copy !req
192. To think such a marvellous
person would come and visit me.Copy !req
193. Do you think you can tell
me about the stars sometime?Copy !req
194. Sure. It'd be a pleasure.Copy !req
195. Our children will one day
live among the stars, in peace.Copy !req
196. Yeah, and space is so vast.
There are no borders, either!Copy !req
197. It's fantastic!
Soldiers who don't make war!Copy !req
198. Well, we've got
a different purpose...Copy !req
199. than the guys fighting over a lake.Copy !req
200. A higher purpose.Copy !req
201. We're the ones who have to clear
the way to peace for all mankind.Copy !req
202. This world's too
small for the humanity.Copy !req
203. From here on,
it'll be the age of space!Copy !req
204. The chief causes of launch failure
may be divided into two categories.Copy !req
205. Human error
and mechanical failure.Copy !req
206. Morning!
Oh, the morning film lecture, huh?Copy !req
207. These are the only funny films
we ever get to see around here.Copy !req
208. Hey, you borrowed my bike
yesterday, didn't you?Copy !req
209. Yep, sure did.
Night air felt really good.Copy !req
210. Would it have killed you
to put some petrol back in?Copy !req
211. Honestly, you worry
about such little things.Copy !req
212. We are the proud
officers of the Space Force.Copy !req
213. Trifles he worries about!Copy !req
214. We're doing big,
important stuff here!Copy !req
215. Maybe he's got a crack in his head.Copy !req
216. I don't know.Copy !req
217. Gentlemen, you are the proud
members of the Space Force!Copy !req
218. It was 30 years ago that
Khi Lei Kerass published...Copy !req
219. The Possibility
of Galactic Travel.Copy !req
220. It has been about 20 years since
the creation of our Space Force!Copy !req
221. Words cannot describe what has
happened during those 20 years.Copy !req
222. It was really just a drain
dish off of some flowerpot.Copy !req
223. Our first "satellite"!Copy !req
224. Guess they just didn't
have anything else handy.Copy !req
225. Since last year's failed launch
of our fifth satellite, Ghida...Copy !req
226. the scope of the program
has been drastically reduced.Copy !req
227. Many voices in the House of
Nobles call for our abolition.Copy !req
228. We've already lost
half our year's budget!Copy !req
229. They say the only money we're gonna
get is for tearing down the facilities.Copy !req
230. That's it, then.Copy !req
231. We might as well start
looking for new jobs.Copy !req
232. However... However, gentlemen!Copy !req
233. Now's the time to show them all!
We must show them the significance...Copy !req
234. of mankind setting sail into
the vastness of space.Copy !req
235. How is it a space warship if
it'll only be carrying people?Copy !req
236. That's what the
General's calling it.Copy !req
237. Space is vast! It is out
there that our future lies!Copy !req
238. A peaceful world we
must open to our posterity.Copy !req
239. People? How're they gonna
launch off something that heavy?Copy !req
240. It's impossible.Copy !req
241. I bet it won't even fly out of our sight.Copy !req
242. I have just put in motion the human
race's first manned space program.Copy !req
243. We all gotta die sometime.Copy !req
244. Yes, there have been
martyrs to our cause.Copy !req
245. However, we must carry on past that sorrow!
Carry on towards the future!Copy !req
246. I'm here to ask for a volunteer to
be our nation's first space pilot.Copy !req
247. I won't force anyone.Copy !req
248. Is there any brave man among you
who would challenge the world of the stars?Copy !req
249. I volunteer, sir!Copy !req
250. Are you nuts?Copy !req
251. Uh, ahh...
And you are...?Copy !req
252. Shirotsugh, sir!
Shirotsugh Lhadatt, sir!Copy !req
253. Ah yes, I remember now.
Uh, anybody else?Copy !req
254. Very well then.
I'm pleased you've volunteered.Copy !req
255. Come to the conference
room later on.Copy !req
256. Anybody...?Copy !req
257. Never mind.Copy !req
258. Dismissed!Copy !req
259. What did you
do that for?Copy !req
260. Can you believe this guy?Copy !req
261. Don't get involved!Copy !req
262. Don't do this, please!
Think of your family!Copy !req
263. You're gonna die, man!
You're just gonna die!Copy !req
264. Think about it! How many guys
did we have when we joined?Copy !req
265. It wasn't only us, was it?Copy !req
266. Matti, we're being asked to
give our lives for science.Copy !req
267. We're making history here!
Shouldn't we do the best we can?Copy !req
268. To be honest, I really wasn't
expecting too much from you...Copy !req
269. but you are doing much
better than I thought you would.Copy !req
270. Your grades were just really low before.Copy !req
271. Oh well,
it really doesn't matter.Copy !req
272. At this rate, the project should
really start moving in earnest.Copy !req
273. I'll be leaving for
the capital soon.Copy !req
274. To face the lions in
their den, so to speak.Copy !req
275. I'll be busy...Copy !req
276. but our Force will finally
have its space warship!Copy !req
277. Oh?
So it'll have guns on it?Copy !req
278. Why would a space warship
need guns?Copy !req
279. This space warship is going to have
clever gadgets designed to keep you alive.Copy !req
280. Although we may have to
skimp on a few of those...Copy !req
281. what else was I
going to tell you...?Copy !req
282. Oh, I've forgotten what I was
going to say! Dismissed!Copy !req
283. Dismissing, sir.Copy !req
284. Ah, wait! Wait, wait, wait!
I just remembered.Copy !req
285. Oh, what was it...?Copy !req
286. Of course! Fly!Copy !req
287. G-force training in an aeroplane.
You've never flown, have you?Copy !req
288. Where do I get an aeroplane?Copy !req
289. Borrow one.Copy !req
290. From where?Copy !req
291. You moron... From the
Air Force, where else?Copy !req
292. Oh, check out
the fancy suit.Copy !req
293. My legs feel like
they're in a vice!Copy !req
294. Is this the parachute?Copy !req
295. What's this thing do?Copy !req
296. Stop messing with it!Copy !req
297. Whoops. It came off.Copy !req
298. Now, hold on here...!Copy !req
299. Hey!Copy !req
300. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
301. Not there. Front!Copy !req
302. Oh. Of course.Copy !req
303. Greto 32, clear for take-off!
You are clear for take-off!Copy !req
304. They're back.Copy !req
305. You okay?Copy !req
306. You don't look so hot.Copy !req
307. I think I'm gonna throw up.Copy !req
308. What's wrong?
Did he eat something bad?Copy !req
309. And after he came
so far to play, too.Copy !req
310. Hey, wait. Matti!Copy !req
311. Hey...
Did you say play?Copy !req
312. What about it?Copy !req
313. It's work!Copy !req
314. So, there's someone up in
space for you guys to fight?Copy !req
315. Well, just tell us if you find
any enemy aliens out there.Copy !req
316. So we can shoot 'em down!Copy !req
317. Hey, hey. Let's have
a little respect here.Copy !req
318. Those two assholes happen to be a
It. colonel and a major, you know.Copy !req
319. Oh? You guys are officers?
How terribly rude of me!Copy !req
320. I thought those medals were
some kids' toys!Copy !req
321. Why, you little...Copy !req
322. Guys, I can't... I really don't
think I can handle this.Copy !req
323. Wait a minute.
Wait... please.Copy !req
324. You'll be sorry...!Copy !req
325. Bad mood, Matti? It's all
over town, practically.Copy !req
326. How you got your ass royally
kicked by some sergeant.Copy !req
327. If you're gonna fight anyone,
make sure it's an officer!Copy !req
328. He didn't beat me!Copy !req
329. Did you get him good?Copy !req
330. I took it easy on him.Copy !req
331. It was all your fault!Copy !req
332. Ow!Copy !req
333. Okay, you two. This here is the
Space Force's secret factory.Copy !req
334. You're gonna love this,
I promise.Copy !req
335. Oh, this is great!
This is incredible!Copy !req
336. Those Air Force guys would shit
themselves if they saw this!Copy !req
337. Right, that's it then.
We'll send you up in this monster.Copy !req
338. Go and die!
Go and die with a BANG!Copy !req
339. This is the
Space Travel Society...?Copy !req
340. Yeah, they've been at
this for a while now.Copy !req
341. What? You're telling me
those old farts did all this?Copy !req
342. Old farts?
Old farts, huh?Copy !req
343. Well, what does that make you,
you little shit?Copy !req
344. This is Dr. Gnomm. He's just
returned from the North Pole.Copy !req
345. I was flying rockets...Copy !req
346. before you were even an
itch in your daddy's crotch!Copy !req
347. The Doc's a pioneer in
engine nozzle design.Copy !req
348. Would all personnel
assemble, please?Copy !req
349. I've found a problem.
A serious flaw in these plans.Copy !req
350. Well? Let's have it!Copy !req
351. It's the third stage. I hear you're
putting a hydrogen engine in there.Copy !req
352. Since when do we actually
have a working model?Copy !req
353. Well, we don't, yet. But there's
a first time for everything.Copy !req
354. You can't run an engine
test using this plan!Copy !req
355. We feel a hydrogen engine
would work best...Copy !req
356. for the third stage's
acceleration.Copy !req
357. It's rash!Copy !req
358. Quiet! You don't know what you're
talking about! Stop complaining!Copy !req
359. He's the one who's gonna fly it.
He should decide.Copy !req
360. Oh, and what does
he know about it?Copy !req
361. Just that I'm for the safest way.
I don't wanna die this young.Copy !req
362. Ah, youth!
Youth is overrated!Copy !req
363. It shouldn't be underrated!Copy !req
364. What, then? We can't redesign
anything below the third stage.Copy !req
365. Everything from here to the head
of section four is outmoded design.Copy !req
366. I can show you how to
reduce construction weight...Copy !req
367. and improve the engines'
combustion efficiency.Copy !req
368. When could you
have it all ready?Copy !req
369. Next month.Copy !req
370. When next month?Copy !req
371. The fourth of Poh.Copy !req
372. Fine, we'll wait till then.
But not any longer than that.Copy !req
373. That's it!
Everyone back to work!Copy !req
374. You throw a rock. It falls to
the ground. That's common sense.Copy !req
375. Now throw that rock really hard,
towards the horizon...Copy !req
376. and it falls to the
ground really far away.Copy !req
377. Keep throwing your rock
harder and harder...Copy !req
378. and it'll eventually
reach a speed where...Copy !req
379. it falls towards the
horizon without ever landing.Copy !req
380. What you have then is
an artificial satellite.Copy !req
381. Instead of
continuing to rise...Copy !req
382. it falls along the
curve of Earth.Copy !req
383. Since the atmosphere would keep
you from maintaining this speed...Copy !req
384. you have to fly way up high
and actually get out of it.Copy !req
385. When it's time to land, you simply
skim the atmosphere and slow down.Copy !req
386. Just a moment's deceleration
and back you fall to the ground.Copy !req
387. In short, we're working day and night
to build this state-of-the-art machine...Copy !req
388. designed to go up
just so it can come down again.Copy !req
389. The description makes it
sound ridiculously simple...Copy !req
390. but I think I like
its basic simplicity.Copy !req
391. These old guys and their
"Space Travel Society"...Copy !req
392. they can't talk
straight about anything.Copy !req
393. Doc Gnomm though...
He's different.Copy !req
394. Of all these old men,
he's the only one you can talk to.Copy !req
395. I don't know what
we'd do without him.Copy !req
396. Torom, Marhida, Gana, Moraa...
My mighty adventurers.Copy !req
397. They're machines.Copy !req
398. Oh, now what?Copy !req
399. Making fun of manufacturing?
It brought equality to...Copy !req
400. the masses by increasing
the distribution of property!Copy !req
401. Where are the names from?Copy !req
402. Torom's a fish that lives in
the Eska Sea, just below the equator.Copy !req
403. Marhida is a man-eating
whale from the North Sea.Copy !req
404. Gana is a poisonous snake
from the Yvsak River.Copy !req
405. Ready!Copy !req
406. Right!Copy !req
407. All of them were
once deadly enemies.Copy !req
408. But now they're my sons.Copy !req
409. Oh. I thought they
were girls' names.Copy !req
410. There're a few of those, too.Copy !req
411. And now Dhotonridl is born.Copy !req
412. Since I'm in charge of
the parts, I name them all.Copy !req
413. Looks like the only part around
here I didn't name is you.Copy !req
414. Who...
Who's there?Copy !req
415. "The Prince of Space
has come to pay a call."Copy !req
416. Oh, Shirotsugh...!Copy !req
417. Good evening!Copy !req
418. Good evening, Shirotsugh.Copy !req
419. Hey, what gives?
Why's it so dark in there?Copy !req
420. They've turned my power off.Copy !req
421. What? That's terrible!Copy !req
422. It's all right, though.
Candlelight is really pretty.Copy !req
423. And Manna's making all sorts of
interestingly shaped candles, too.Copy !req
424. Say, can you come out?
The sky's full of stars tonight.Copy !req
425. I can tell you about the stars,
like you asked me to.Copy !req
426. Just a sec.Copy !req
427. Come on, Manna. Let's go
out and look at the stars!Copy !req
428. Now then, you see the
prow star up there?Copy !req
429. It's 70 years away
at the speed of light.Copy !req
430. The light we're seeing now
left that star 70 years ago.Copy !req
431. So if we were 70 years old,
then the light produced...Copy !req
432. on my birthday would
just be getting here now.Copy !req
433. Stars!Copy !req
434. Uh, yeah. That's right.Copy !req
435. I wonder what our world must look like,
from out among the stars...Copy !req
436. Oh yeah! I've got
something to show you.Copy !req
437. It's a satellite
photo of our world.Copy !req
438. It's black.Copy !req
439. No, no.
The white part is the ground.Copy !req
440. It's a radar image,
so the picture's not very clear.Copy !req
441. Still, from that far away...Copy !req
442. our city lights would
probably look like stars.Copy !req
443. The fires of our wars, as well.Copy !req
444. They're too sinful...Copy !req
445. to be mixing among
the pure light of the stars...Copy !req
446. Salute!Copy !req
447. A Holy Book?
But, I...Copy !req
448. I know, but I still
want you to have it.Copy !req
449. Something to read if you ever
feel troubled by anything.Copy !req
450. Well, I'd rather you were
with me when I read it.Copy !req
451. Let's make some tea.Copy !req
452. Manna.Copy !req
453. You don't let yourself
have any fun, do you?Copy !req
454. Can't you and God work out
some sort of a compromise?Copy !req
455. Compromise?Copy !req
456. I mean, don't overdo it.Copy !req
457. I don't think I'm overdoing anything!Copy !req
458. And that, that "compromise"
you're talking about...Copy !req
459. is what's made the
world what it is today!Copy !req
460. It's become a lot easier to live in.Copy !req
461. Manna! I said we
were making tea now!Copy !req
462. Oh, what's wrong?
We weren't fighting.Copy !req
463. Forgive me.
See, we've made up already.Copy !req
464. Voilà! A little
present from Papa.Copy !req
465. A real, live
training simulator.Copy !req
466. Me first!Copy !req
467. Wow, this thing's cool.Copy !req
468. 85 million radeks, man.
85 million!Copy !req
469. That's a lot of money,
so don't break it.Copy !req
470. Truth is, we really don't have
the money.Copy !req
471. Things will be a lot better if the Assembly
approves this appropriation.Copy !req
472. Huh? They still
haven't approved it?Copy !req
473. So where're we
getting our money from?Copy !req
474. Oh, here and there.Copy !req
475. Here and there?Copy !req
476. You really don't know?Copy !req
477. Well, being part
of the nobility...Copy !req
478. the General's got a lot
of pull with the royal family.Copy !req
479. So there's this slightly illegal
business he has on the side.Copy !req
480. With just his one telephone?Copy !req
481. One phone's all he needs.Copy !req
482. No one's there to take calls.
You see, from this year on...Copy !req
483. the royal family buys its
business cars from Miguren Motors.Copy !req
484. The same Miguren Motors
that's paying for our rocket.Copy !req
485. That's how it all works.Copy !req
486. Oh, sure.
That's how it all works.Copy !req
487. You're totally lost,
aren't you?Copy !req
488. Idiot!Copy !req
489. I'm here today to announce the
Space Force High Command's plans...Copy !req
490. for the construction of
our nation's space warship!Copy !req
491. That was the only statement
the Space Force's commander made.Copy !req
492. Also present at the ceremony was
his Royal Highness Prince Toness...Copy !req
493. who briefly addressed the crowd.Copy !req
494. As the protector
of the citizenry...Copy !req
495. of the Honneamano-Jikein-
Minadhan Federated Kingdom...Copy !req
496. Don't stand there!Copy !req
497. There, it's back.Copy !req
498. You're such a hick!Copy !req
499. The most important equipment
in that spacecraft is you.Copy !req
500. Air, water, heat...Copy !req
501. they will provide you with
conditions which differ...Copy !req
502. not in the slightest from
the room you sleep in at night.Copy !req
503. In return, you give it
the proper instructions.Copy !req
504. That's your relationship
with it in a nutshell.Copy !req
505. Trying to muscle it around
won't do you any good.Copy !req
506. Move calmly,
as a part of the machine.Copy !req
507. As delicately as possible,
as intimately as possible...Copy !req
508. 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500.
Second stage ignition.Copy !req
509. Normal!Copy !req
510. 8000, 8500.Copy !req
511. 9000, 9500!Copy !req
512. Space Force Headquarters.
Yeah.Copy !req
513. Phone call.
It's a girl.Copy !req
514. Yes, yes. Hello?Copy !req
515. Shirotsugh? For God's sake,
get out here fast! Help me!Copy !req
516. Hey, what do you think?
I just finished.Copy !req
517. Pretty slick, huh?
Wanna take her for a spin?Copy !req
518. Great, you're gonna try it!
I changed the ignition switch.Copy !req
519. What do you think?
Runs pretty good, huh?Copy !req
520. Space Rider! Cool!Copy !req
521. The men from the power company
kept coming, day after day...Copy !req
522. The house belonged to my aunt,
so I thought everything was okay.Copy !req
523. But the men...Copy !req
524. My aunt owed people money.Copy !req
525. So? So? That doesn't
make what they did right!Copy !req
526. Power plant...?Copy !req
527. Right, we'll take 'em to court!
The state will pay for the lawsuit.Copy !req
528. Or I will, if you want.
If you need a lawyer...Copy !req
529. No, it's all right.
Really, it's all right.Copy !req
530. I don't want her to
see any more fighting.Copy !req
531. Her parents were like that.Copy !req
532. Just fighting, day after day.Copy !req
533. Stop it!
Stop it, please!Copy !req
534. I'm sorry I called you out
here for something like this.Copy !req
535. Something like this?
But it's... It's...Copy !req
536. There's a church
not far from here.Copy !req
537. There are people
there who will help.Copy !req
538. I think I can stay with
them for a little while.Copy !req
539. And Manna can make some
friends there, too...Copy !req
540. All right...Copy !req
541. Come on,
let's dig your stuff out.Copy !req
542. splendour is most evident in the
famous Nedens Palace. This beauty...Copy !req
543. region, today will be fine...Copy !req
544. with clouds moving
in later tonight...Copy !req
545. "The Age of Fire.
When God created man... "Copy !req
546. "man was like the animals
and did not possess fire."Copy !req
547. "It is with fire that
God lives forever."Copy !req
548. "Dao stole a burning branch
and ran off as fast as he could."Copy !req
549. "But the Protector of the
ovens had foreseen this..."Copy !req
550. "and had cursed the fire."Copy !req
551. "Dao carried the fire home, and
tried to use it like God himself."Copy !req
552. "And Dao's seven sons were killed."Copy !req
553. "These were mankind's
first deaths."Copy !req
554. "And God appeared before
Dao and gave a prophecy."Copy !req
555. "'Man,' he said,
'you have been cursed.'"Copy !req
556. "'Your children shall struggle
and quarrel and live in sorrow.'"Copy !req
557. "'Their misfortune shall spread
to the ends of the land.'"Copy !req
558. "'They shall murder one another
until the end of time.'"Copy !req
559. You're sure it's safe
standing this close?Copy !req
560. Ah, we're fine, we're fine.Copy !req
561. The old engines would blow
every time we throttled up!Copy !req
562. It took 20 years to get to this state.
Sorta like real sons.Copy !req
563. Insolent, and a real pain
in the ass sometimes!Copy !req
564. You can tell kids are in a bad mood
when they don't eat breakfast!Copy !req
565. Yeah! Even when they
turn on their old man...Copy !req
566. they don't do it all of a sudden.
They'll give some warning first.Copy !req
567. 1, 4, 5.Copy !req
568. 1... 4... 5.Copy !req
569. So, you weren't
hit by any fragments?Copy !req
570. Not even a piece.Copy !req
571. Oh sure, you get
away safe and sound...Copy !req
572. and the Doc winds
up in the hospital.Copy !req
573. Serves him right,
leaving me there like that.Copy !req
574. Next one's 5, 6.Copy !req
575. 5, 6.Copy !req
576. Well, thanks to this getting in and out
of the factory's gotten complicated.Copy !req
577. 1, 3, 4.
Why's that?Copy !req
578. Because they think the
radicals may have done it.Copy !req
579. Radicals?Copy !req
580. The guys who oppose
the King's decisions.Copy !req
581. There've been a lot of
protest letters lately.Copy !req
582. News to me.Copy !req
583. They're burning them
day after day.Copy !req
584. And now some idiots are actually
yelling for random bombings.Copy !req
585. Next.Copy !req
586. Uhh...
3, 4, 5.Copy !req
587. What? Gimme that.Copy !req
588. Hey, that's the second row!Copy !req
589. For crying out loud...Copy !req
590. Sorry.Copy !req
591. Better get with it,
or else it won't work...Copy !req
592. Hey, someone get the cat and his
keeper off the electronic brain!Copy !req
593. Don't you have a job?Copy !req
594. Pulled an all-nighter last night.
The old guys were at it again...Copy !req
595. Stop shakin'it!Copy !req
596. The Doc, he's...
He's dead!Copy !req
597. When?Copy !req
598. A little while ago,
at the hospital.Copy !req
599. The Space Force's gala promotional reception
welcomed a royal guest from the capital.Copy !req
600. Also appearing tonight was
the world's first astronaut...Copy !req
601. Lt. Colonel
Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
602. That dress uniform he's
wearing really suits him.Copy !req
603. When Prince Toness asked, "Doesn't
going into space frighten you?"...Copy !req
604. he light-heartedly replied,
"It really hasn't bothered me. "Copy !req
605. You in there! Have you ever
had to worry about money?Copy !req
606. You have no idea what it's like!
We don't even have a urinal to piss in!Copy !req
607. It's getting colder
and colder for us.Copy !req
608. You think you can survive winter
with only two blankets?Copy !req
609. Outta the way!
Lemme through!Copy !req
610. What good does an astronaut do?Copy !req
611. Look at the bridges we built...Copy !req
612. What's with these
guys at the front?Copy !req
613. Protest. It was
hell this morning.Copy !req
614. The protesters were fighting
against the beggars over the place.Copy !req
615. So what's the unemployment
movement want with us?Copy !req
616. No, no.
It's the anti-war movement.Copy !req
617. They're saying we should be
building bridges and not rockets.Copy !req
618. Like I said,
the unemployment movement!Copy !req
619. Spend all our money for a bunch
of bridges we don't need, huh?Copy !req
620. Out in the country, we still
use boats, for God's sake!Copy !req
621. I'd take the bridges
over a space warship.Copy !req
622. At least those
wouldn't kill anyone.Copy !req
623. Hey, hey, hey,
don't let 'em get to you.Copy !req
624. They're just saying all
that because they want jobs.Copy !req
625. This rocket will
be used for war.Copy !req
626. You can use
bridges for war, too.Copy !req
627. You're the one
who started all this!Copy !req
628. Me?
I doubt that.Copy !req
629. Then who started it?Copy !req
630. Hey!Copy !req
631. Lt. Colonel Lhadatt's morning begins
with a glass of fruit juice.Copy !req
632. After light training,
he eats a hearty breakfast...Copy !req
633. of soft bread
and broiled kress fruit.Copy !req
634. Right, because
they're good for you.Copy !req
635. Shirotsugh Lhadatt,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
636. Wha...?Copy !req
637. Asshole!Copy !req
638. Hey! Yo!Copy !req
639. Matti! You...!Copy !req
640. Good, there you are.
I was just reading the paper...Copy !req
641. Oh? You're wet.
We've got trouble!Copy !req
642. It says here that the
launch will be from Kanea.Copy !req
643. When was the launch
site moved so far south?Copy !req
644. Oh, didn't you know?Copy !req
645. We can't use the Army's
launch site after all.Copy !req
646. 600 ren west of Kanea?
That's over the border!Copy !req
647. No, it's all right.
Ah, there's a map...Copy !req
648. It's right on the
demilitarised zone!Copy !req
649. No, no. This way it's
3000 ren closer to the equator.Copy !req
650. It'll be easier to make
it to orbit, you see...Copy !req
651. Yeah, I know!
My God, how could they?Copy !req
652. They're sending us
to a powder keg...Copy !req
653. to launch off the world's
biggest firecracker!Copy !req
654. Wasn't anyone against it?Copy !req
655. It wasn't our decision.
It was the ministry's.Copy !req
656. Ministry? What minis...?
The Defence Ministry?Copy !req
657. norinosska, zuiben mattoishi
suru rekujishieto.Copy !req
658. Uh, kurufateeji onla
laku... lakure...Copy !req
659. Lakuretoria!Copy !req
660. Just speak in the
vernacular. Be yourself.Copy !req
661. Thanks, I appreciate it.Copy !req
662. But really, there's
nothing more for me to say.Copy !req
663. You're finished?
Then let me speak.Copy !req
664. You are right, we just don't
see the appeal of your rocket.Copy !req
665. Space travel? We're concerned
with the military here.Copy !req
666. Who would invest in something
that just flies into space?Copy !req
667. It's a waste to assign a whole
squadron to it.Copy !req
668. There's something wrong with the
very existence of the Space Force!Copy !req
669. Well... but... then why let
the project get this far...?Copy !req
670. We needed to find a way
to properly end the program.Copy !req
671. The royal family,
the Transportation Ministry...Copy !req
672. the roots of your Space Force
reach into many areas.Copy !req
673. And all of us finished
regretting a long time ago.Copy !req
674. The only problem now is
how to forget about it.Copy !req
675. We can't just end it by saying,
"Oh, it was useless."Copy !req
676. But, this project is attracting
the attention of every nation.Copy !req
677. Even the Republic wants
our rocket information.Copy !req
678. So, to launch it right on the
border of enemy occupied Rimada...Copy !req
679. So go ahead! Launch it,
or whatever you please.Copy !req
680. We just want for it to be seen by
the Republic's forces in Rimada.Copy !req
681. And what will they do with a lovely
rocket right before their eyes?Copy !req
682. Steal it!Copy !req
683. Steal it. That way, it will
at least be useful.Copy !req
684. A border violation via military force.
Outright theft of property...Copy !req
685. It'll be quite a loss.Copy !req
686. Reparations will have to come
from somewhere, of course.Copy !req
687. The only real question is whether
or not they'll actually attack.Copy !req
688. Don't worry.Copy !req
689. They've quite an investment in
your rocket over there as well, huh?Copy !req
690. Ready?Copy !req
691. Aye, sir!Copy !req
692. We begin.Copy !req
693. You're cruising along,
about to take a well deserved shit.Copy !req
694. Your altitude is 3000,
speed of 200 ren per second.Copy !req
695. The next contact zone
is far over the horizon.Copy !req
696. Cabin pressure abnormality
in oxygen tank #1!Copy !req
697. Primary lines, closed.
Activating auxiliary power.Copy !req
698. Three!
Suspending nitrogen supply!Copy !req
699. Inertial systems reading
abnormal acceleration.Copy !req
700. Resetting multifunction systems.
Capsule pressure, unchanged!Copy !req
701. Good, you've
earned your payslip.Copy !req
702. Next, crisis
situation #5-7-5.Copy !req
703. "The City of Fire."Copy !req
704. "My son, soon you must
depart the marketplace."Copy !req
705. "Here, all the good things
are stained with blood."Copy !req
706. "God will be
silent no longer."Copy !req
707. "This city of filth
was created by fire."Copy !req
708. "By fire it shall
be destroyed."Copy !req
709. "Anything arising from evil will
never be good."Copy !req
710. "And so, my son,
even you must be prepared."Copy !req
711. Stop!Copy !req
712. Calm down, dammit!Copy !req
713. You little...!Copy !req
714. Yes, that's perfect.Copy !req
715. Okay, let's have you
lean to the left this time.Copy !req
716. Smile now.
A little more!Copy !req
717. That's it!Copy !req
718. That's the way, nice and cheerful.
A real hero for all the kiddies.Copy !req
719. Shirotsugh!
Shirotsugh! Shirotsugh!Copy !req
720. You're kidding!Copy !req
721. To everyone in the kingdom,
good morning!Copy !req
722. I'm coming to you from the Space
Force Headquarters in Naghatsumih.Copy !req
723. An area which has known
its share of history.Copy !req
724. This port city is famous for
being the core city for Umon.Copy !req
725. It was here that his Highness
the King lived as a child...Copy !req
726. and this neighbourhood is famous
for its ties to the royal family.Copy !req
727. The Space Force
Headquarters are...Copy !req
728. Welcome back, General.
When did you get in?Copy !req
729. Last night's train.Copy !req
730. I see. And the
administration's decision?Copy !req
731. No comment!Copy !req
732. You call it a space "warship."
Will it actually carry weaponry?Copy !req
733. No comment!Copy !req
734. I can only say that it will be
capable of carrying such devices.Copy !req
735. Can't you look happier?
Like a professional astronaut?Copy !req
736. Lt. Colonel! Lt. Colonel!Copy !req
737. He's been promoted.
It's colonel, now.Copy !req
738. Colonel then.
Smile a bit... smile...Copy !req
739. Got it. Thank you.Copy !req
740. We're about ready to go.Copy !req
741. Cheer up. See you.Copy !req
742. Now, Colonel, be sure to stress
your mission as a space hero.Copy !req
743. Mission?Copy !req
744. Well, you know. The whole
meaning of the space program.Copy !req
745. Why so many people have
died for it so far...Copy !req
746. and why we have to go
on despite all that.Copy !req
747. Just think of
something, okay?Copy !req
748. Look over here,
Mr. Hero. Hey, you!Copy !req
749. Have you heard?Copy !req
750. They say 30,000 people could
have a warm place to live in...Copy !req
751. if the Space Force's
budget were cut by half.Copy !req
752. Well now, any thoughts
on the arms race?Copy !req
753. How about on war?Copy !req
754. You deny the corruption problems
with Miguren Motors?Copy !req
755. You don't know anything, do you?Copy !req
756. Uh, we're about to start! Hey!Copy !req
757. Vice Minister Nerredon of the
Republic today harshly criticised...Copy !req
758. the space warship program
of the Kingdom of Honnêamise...Copy !req
759. calling the entire project
"a threat to world peace. "Copy !req
760. Ah, good work this morning.Copy !req
761. The new photographs have arrived, sir.Copy !req
762. The space hero?Copy !req
763. He looks like a presumptuous guy.Copy !req
764. It's almost winter there. The northern
hemisphere's seasons are reversed.Copy !req
765. Ah, I see.Copy !req
766. Lt. Colonel Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
767. Doesn't look too bright.Copy !req
768. Weapons Division is urging
we seize the space warship.Copy !req
769. An absurd request. Incompetents!Copy !req
770. They'll have to wait.Copy !req
771. Stealing a distant nation's rocket.Copy !req
772. It isn't that simple.Copy !req
773. These things take time to set up.Copy !req
774. The Office of Security is taking
steps to obstruct their progress.Copy !req
775. Assassination... Not terribly subtle, is it?Copy !req
776. But terribly effective, sir.Copy !req
777. "'Sin is everywhere.'"Copy !req
778. "God said this,
looking down at the world."Copy !req
779. "The sins of man will
immerse the world. We..."Copy !req
780. Shirotsugh!Copy !req
781. Bring in the laundry
before it gets dark.Copy !req
782. Okay?
I'll see you later.Copy !req
783. Nice outfit.
Somebody bought it for you?Copy !req
784. Where's the toilet?Copy !req
785. Manna, bring us some
towels, would you?Copy !req
786. Thank you.Copy !req
787. Thanks.Copy !req
788. Manna, did you bring the
laundry in like I asked you to?Copy !req
789. No one came while
I was out, did they?Copy !req
790. Oh, and if you
see Uncle Dori...Copy !req
791. be sure and thank him
for the winter clothes.Copy !req
792. Even besides that, he's done
so much for us already.Copy !req
793. "You cannot live without
your daily bread."Copy !req
794. "Truth changes to lies
when it leaves your lips."Copy !req
795. "Virtue changes to evil
when it leaves your hands."Copy !req
796. "What you see as good may
not be good as God sees it."Copy !req
797. "What can any of
you do but pray? "Copy !req
798. "Prayer is a small thing,
but it is everything."Copy !req
799. "There is nothing more
noble than prayer."Copy !req
800. "There is nothing
more humble..."Copy !req
801. Oh, good morning,
Shirotsugh.Copy !req
802. It looks like
nice weather today.Copy !req
803. About last night...Copy !req
804. Forgive me. I couldn't...
I was... Please forgive me.Copy !req
805. You didn't do anything.Copy !req
806. Because I couldn't!Copy !req
807. Forgive me. I don't
know what came over me.Copy !req
808. Hitting a wonderful
person like you...Copy !req
809. I didn't mean to.
You aren't hurt, are you?Copy !req
810. What? No! That's not...Copy !req
811. No, I know you'll
forgive me...Copy !req
812. but I'll never be
able to forgive myself.Copy !req
813. Believe me, I'm sorry.Copy !req
814. Hey, isn't that
Shirotsugh over there?Copy !req
815. That idiot. And wearing
the peacock suit, too!Copy !req
816. Yo!Copy !req
817. Hi!Copy !req
818. Ohh... you idiot! Why'd you
have to wear that thing?Copy !req
819. Don't you know you're
a celebrity around here?Copy !req
820. Dress uniform's the thing to wear
for sending you off to your posts.Copy !req
821. So where'd you disappear
to all of a sudden for three days?Copy !req
822. Were you with
a girl or something?Copy !req
823. Well...Copy !req
824. Why, you little...!Copy !req
825. Tchallichammi! Majaho!Copy !req
826. You are hereby dispatched
to the Guria Observatory.Copy !req
827. Move out!Copy !req
828. Salute!Copy !req
829. Drop us a line when you get into
space. We'll be easy to find.Copy !req
830. And don't make
any more work for us.Copy !req
831. At ease!Copy !req
832. It's gonna be lonely around here
with all you guys leaving.Copy !req
833. Well, Darigan's in charge
of launch control training.Copy !req
834. He and I'll be leaving for the
launch site the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
835. Nekkerout might still be around.Copy !req
836. Hell, Kharock's already gone to
the launch site with the old men.Copy !req
837. I got some mail the other day.
When are you gonna head over there?Copy !req
838. I don't know. Ol' Baldy just
won't give me a break.Copy !req
839. Looks like I keep training
right up 'til the end.Copy !req
840. How much?Copy !req
841. 3 gaku.Copy !req
842. Say, Matti... Suppose
that life was a story...Copy !req
843. Come again?Copy !req
844. No, if you were to
think about it like that.Copy !req
845. Well, have you ever wondered if...
If maybe you aren't a good guy?Copy !req
846. That you're one of
the bad guys, instead?Copy !req
847. I guess...Copy !req
848. It's just...Copy !req
849. Only...Copy !req
850. The people around us now,
our parents, everyone.Copy !req
851. You see, I think I'm
here only because...Copy !req
852. they need me even
for a little bit.Copy !req
853. Take this
hardware stand.Copy !req
854. It's here only because
it serves a purpose for someone.Copy !req
855. I don't think there're any totally
useless things in the world.Copy !req
856. How could something
like that exist?Copy !req
857. Someone recognises this guy's
necessity, so he's here.Copy !req
858. If the need for him were to
disappear, then so would he.Copy !req
859. That's what I think, anyway.
Does it help?Copy !req
860. Yeah, it does. Thanks.Copy !req
861. Run for it!Copy !req
862. Help!Copy !req
863. What's with that old bag?
Is she a radical?Copy !req
864. Like I know?Copy !req
865. That made me hungry...Copy !req
866. Split up!Copy !req
867. Wait for me Matti!
Wait!Copy !req
868. Get away from me,
you idiot!Copy !req
869. I'm the one
getting shot at!Copy !req
870. Like I said,
get away from me!Copy !req
871. Dead end!Copy !req
872. What the...!
What's going on here?Copy !req
873. You two okay?Copy !req
874. Hey, look at this!
It's that space guy, Lhadatt!Copy !req
875. Hi...Copy !req
876. We'd better not
go back today.Copy !req
877. Yeah. If she ambushes us again,
we're dead for sure.Copy !req
878. Okay, until you hear something definite
just lose yourself at that girl's house.Copy !req
879. See you!Copy !req
880. This is not a jellyfish.
It's a triangular octopus.Copy !req
881. What about this one?Copy !req
882. This? It's a...Copy !req
883. starfish!Copy !req
884. Oh, I see.Copy !req
885. H-Hey! Whoa...!Copy !req
886. Hey, what the...!Copy !req
887. Hey, the hell are you doing!Copy !req
888. Help!Copy !req
889. You okay?Copy !req
890. Are you hurt?Copy !req
891. Over here!Copy !req
892. You all right?Copy !req
893. Yeah, fine.Copy !req
894. Civilisation did not create war.
War created civilisation.Copy !req
895. Who said that?Copy !req
896. I did. The human race broke free
of the hell of primitive times...Copy !req
897. and marched through 100,000 years
to reach this point.Copy !req
898. And what of the present?
Have we really advanced at all?Copy !req
899. When I was young,
I wanted to be a historian.Copy !req
900. Why didn't you?Copy !req
901. A war started,
so I became a soldier instead.Copy !req
902. I fought desperately to defend my
country from that foreign invasion.Copy !req
903. At the same time, I knew that
it wasn't justice.Copy !req
904. I knew very well that we were just repeating our murderous past.Copy !req
905. It was quite a blow.Copy !req
906. Not becoming a soldier.Copy !req
907. I mean studying history.Copy !req
908. History is a game which doesn't
end until you've lost everything.Copy !req
909. Perhaps we're not as different from
the monkeys as we like to think.Copy !req
910. Will we repeat our old mistakes?
Do we have any choice in the matter?Copy !req
911. The most important thing you can do
is to be aware of your situation.Copy !req
912. To ask yourself "What should I do?
What shouldn't I do? "Copy !req
913. The only eyes you can trust are
the ones on top of your own nose.Copy !req
914. Look through them now!
What do they show you?Copy !req
915. A girl's butt.Copy !req
916. You'd miss a forest for the trees.Copy !req
917. Hello, Manna. You're alone?Copy !req
918. Riqunni... must be working.Copy !req
919. Well, could you give
her a message for me?Copy !req
920. I'll be going away for a while.
I won't be able to visit.Copy !req
921. Manna, would you like me to
bring something back for you?Copy !req
922. A star.Copy !req
923. I can't.Copy !req
924. The stars are really
really far away.Copy !req
925. Tough one... I'm going
where there's nothing at all.Copy !req
926. Out there?Copy !req
927. Yeah, it's out there...
Here, there, and everywhere.Copy !req
928. Oh, Shirotsugh!Copy !req
929. I've gotta go.Copy !req
930. Come back soon.Copy !req
931. Magazine, sir?Copy !req
932. Uh, Colonel, sir...
May I have your autograph?Copy !req
933. Name?Copy !req
934. Maashi Treen, sir.Copy !req
935. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
936. Oh, and fasten your seatbelt.Copy !req
937. Wine tasting... Very refined, sir.Copy !req
938. The plan is finally in motion.Copy !req
939. Really?Copy !req
940. We'll be using our forces
stationed in Rimada.Copy !req
941. Jets as well?Copy !req
942. A battlefield test for our latest weapons.Copy !req
943. Excellent.Copy !req
944. Rimadan military trains
are moving north.Copy !req
945. Next report will be at noon.Copy !req
946. So, they're moving.Copy !req
947. Do you think they'll fly
their new jets?Copy !req
948. Yeah, we aren't the only ones
that want to see how well they work.Copy !req
949. With a little luck, we might even
see them do an in-air refuelling.Copy !req
950. Hello everyone. This is
astronaut Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
951. I am currently in orbit,
flying 200 ren above our world.Copy !req
952. Um... Uhh...Copy !req
953. "What I see now..."Copy !req
954. Oh, I can't do this.Copy !req
955. Umm, "What I see now,
looking down at our world is..."Copy !req
956. Tanks!Copy !req
957. Look again.
They're fakes.Copy !req
958. Fakes?Copy !req
959. "They're fakes, they're fakes.
They're all just fakes..."Copy !req
960. Whoa!Copy !req
961. "And here comes the
biggest fake of all!"Copy !req
962. So, I'm gonna be launched
in this thing, huh?Copy !req
963. You can sound a
little happier about it.Copy !req
964. Yo, Shiro!Copy !req
965. One totally safe third stage.
A real bargain if you want it!Copy !req
966. Slowly... Slowly...
Okay, hold it!Copy !req
967. Like that! Like that!
Got it!Copy !req
968. Good morning, sir.Copy !req
969. Hello-everyone-this-is-astronaut-
Shirotsugh-Lhadatt. I-am...Copy !req
970. Say it properly!Copy !req
971. Oh, like anyone actually
listens to microwave broadcasts!Copy !req
972. Okay, push!Copy !req
973. It's finished!Copy !req
974. This is astronaut
Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
975. I am currently in orbit,
flying 200 ren above our world...Copy !req
976. Can't sleep, huh?Copy !req
977. About this time tomorrow, you'll
have flown straight into history.Copy !req
978. The guys who were helping with
the construction today.Copy !req
979. They found tons of sea shells.Copy !req
980. Oh? Why are they here?Copy !req
981. Why do you think they are?Copy !req
982. A long time ago, a stone age tribe
used to dump their garbage here.Copy !req
983. Funny, isn't it?
This modern rocket of ours...Copy !req
984. is standing in a
prehistoric trash heap!Copy !req
985. Well, I'll bet those stone age guys never thought
their garbage dump would be used to launch a spaceship.Copy !req
986. What do you think they'll be
finding here in 10,000 years?Copy !req
987. A truly historic pile of steel frames and concrete
mixed in with somebody else's leftovers.Copy !req
988. Yeah, this Majaho over
at Guria Observatory.Copy !req
989. Get me the General!Copy !req
990. What is it?Copy !req
991. How are things going?Copy !req
992. We're crawling with Central
Intelligence guys on this end.Copy !req
993. They keep asking if we've changed
the launch time every one maal.Copy !req
994. Right, I understand!
All right... Don't worry.Copy !req
995. Just hang up!Copy !req
996. The red one?
No, the yellow?Copy !req
997. That one.Copy !req
998. Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
999. Launch day is finally here.Copy !req
1000. Good morning, sir!Copy !req
1001. Where's the
launch commander?Copy !req
1002. In the control bunker...Copy !req
1003. The schedule controller?Copy !req
1004. Sleeping, sir.Copy !req
1005. Then wake him!Copy !req
1006. We've been working round
the clock for 4 days, sir.Copy !req
1007. Everyone's exhausted!Copy !req
1008. I'm moving the
launch time up two maal.Copy !req
1009. Impossible! We need at least half
a day to complete preparations!Copy !req
1010. There are signs that Central Intelligence
has been leaking the information.Copy !req
1011. I'm afraid we might
be attacked tonight.Copy !req
1012. But, how? We can't take out
anything from the schedule!Copy !req
1013. We'll shorten the
engineering check.Copy !req
1014. Cut 124 pages from
the beginning of the sixth book.Copy !req
1015. Do not tell the observatory
until the last possible moment.Copy !req
1016. Have Shirotsugh take a shower.Copy !req
1017. Just a minute, sir!
That's going too far.Copy !req
1018. It's dangerous!
General! I'm against this!Copy !req
1019. It's okay. I'll go.Copy !req
1020. It'll be a lot more dangerous
if the enemy shows up here.Copy !req
1021. No one's gonna stop them
anyway, right?Copy !req
1022. This operation's objective is the
capture of the launch facilities.Copy !req
1023. Do not lose sight of this in the raid.Copy !req
1024. You will be refuelling once,
from the air fortress, over Rimada.Copy !req
1025. Empty your pockets on this one!Copy !req
1026. Luck be with us!Copy !req
1027. Hurry up with the fuel!Copy !req
1028. Check on the third stage
and its connections!Copy !req
1029. Scratch that! We won't
know unless we put fuel into it.Copy !req
1030. Hey. Let's go.Copy !req
1031. Begin liquid oxygen onload.Copy !req
1032. Would all stations please
report in and confirm status?Copy !req
1033. Message in from Rimada.Copy !req
1034. "Formation has made
contact with air fortress. "Copy !req
1035. I know. We'll run into them
in the sky above the site.Copy !req
1036. Gotcha... Roger. Moving out.Copy !req
1037. Domurhot, phone call from
the launch site for you.Copy !req
1038. We're launching early.Copy !req
1039. Start getting the satellite
tracking systems ready.Copy !req
1040. We're gonna outsmart them!Copy !req
1041. How much more?Copy !req
1042. I'm finishing up now.
Yeah, that's got it.Copy !req
1043. Good, we're on schedule.Copy !req
1044. Launch personnel report
to control bunker.Copy !req
1045. All other personnel, move
to your regular positions.Copy !req
1046. Check completed.Copy !req
1047. Activating pressurisation pumps.Copy !req
1048. Activated.Copy !req
1049. Tank #1 cabin

1050. Fuel, normal.Copy !req
1051. Voltage, normal.Copy !req
1052. Oil pressure, normal.Copy !req
1053. Main support inclination standard to spec.Copy !req
1054. Did we get the weather
report from the airship yet?Copy !req
1055. Warrant Officer Tenz Kovikh.
Frontier Guard, Tayan Observation Squad.Copy !req
1056. Please pass along withdrawal
orders to all personnel.Copy !req
1057. We're evacuating this area.Copy !req
1058. What are you talking about?
We're about to launch now.Copy !req
1059. It's too late.Copy !req
1060. I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
1061. This place is about to
become a battlefield.Copy !req
1062. The occupation forces
have crossed the river.Copy !req
1063. What?Copy !req
1064. Our border patrols
are under attack.Copy !req
1065. Damn it all!Copy !req
1066. What was that?
I couldn't hear you.Copy !req
1067. The launch is scrubbed. They're
attacking sooner than we thought.Copy !req
1068. What are you talking about?
We're just going to run away?Copy !req
1069. They want this thing!
They're not gonna shoot at it!Copy !req
1070. They might if
we try to launch!Copy !req
1071. Enough! We're pulling
you out of there.Copy !req
1072. We have to do this.
I hate it as much as you do.Copy !req
1073. And I really thought we
could do it this time.Copy !req
1074. We may as well
get out while we can.Copy !req
1075. This foolish thing... It's not
worth risking your lives for.Copy !req
1076. Just give it up!Copy !req
1077. Wait a minute here.
I don't believe this!Copy !req
1078. What do you mean,
"foolish"?Copy !req
1079. If we stop here, then what
are we? Even bigger fools!Copy !req
1080. You're just going
to throw it all away?Copy !req
1081. Everything we've been
able to accomplish?Copy !req
1082. Don't say everything
we've done here is stupid.Copy !req
1083. It's wonderful!Copy !req
1084. Wonderful enough to get
us into the history books!Copy !req
1085. I'll still do it.Copy !req
1086. Even if I die, I want to
at least try to launch!Copy !req
1087. Anyone who wants out can go!Copy !req
1088. I will do this!Copy !req
1089. I am Goddamned
ready to do this!Copy !req
1090. All sections, talk to me!Copy !req
1091. Voltage, check.Copy !req
1092. Oil pressure, check.Copy !req
1093. Pumps, standing by.Copy !req
1094. Fuel, check!Copy !req
1095. Platform is conditionally
"go" for launch.Copy !req
1096. Let's give it a try.Copy !req
1097. Return to countdown!Copy !req
1098. All right!Copy !req
1099. Mount 'em up!Copy !req
1100. I guess the crew will
share their ship's fate.Copy !req
1101. Move out!Copy !req
1102. Dispatch from Magitsu.Copy !req
1103. We are now 02 from target.Copy !req
1104. Look sharp people!
Enemy fighters right above us!Copy !req
1105. Pump restart is good.
No problems.Copy !req
1106. We're in primary
launch stages.Copy !req
1107. Engineer Corps ETA.:Copy !req
1108. Delay of 52.Copy !req
1109. Stabilising gyro.
Give me a reading.Copy !req

We're in final stages.Copy !req
1122. Everyone take

It's achieved orbital velocity.Copy !req
1153. He's in orbit!Copy !req
1154. WE'VE DONE IT!Copy !req
1155. City lights...
I wonder where they are...?Copy !req
1156. They really do
look like stars...Copy !req
