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. The description makes it
sound ridiculously simple...Copy !req
389. but I think I like
its basic simplicity.Copy !req
390. These old guys and their
"Space Travel Society"...Copy !req
391. they can't talk
straight about anything.Copy !req
392. Doc Gnomm though...
He's different.Copy !req
393. Of all these old men,
he's the only one you can talk to.Copy !req
394. I don't know what
we'd do without him.Copy !req
395. Torom, Marhida, Gana, Moraa...
My mighty adventurers.Copy !req
396. They're machines.Copy !req
397. Oh, now what?Copy !req
398. Making fun of manufacturing?
It brought equality to...Copy !req
399. the masses by increasing
the distribution of property!Copy !req
400. Where are the names from?Copy !req
401. Torom's a fish that lives in
the Eska Sea, just below the equator.Copy !req
402. Marhida is a man-eating
whale from the North Sea.Copy !req
403. Gana is a poisonous snake
from the Yvsak River.Copy !req
404. Ready!Copy !req
405. Right!Copy !req
406. All of them were
once deadly enemies.Copy !req
407. But now they're my sons.Copy !req
408. Oh. I thought they
were girls' names.Copy !req
409. There're a few of those, too.Copy !req
410. And now Dhotonridl is born.Copy !req
411. Since I'm in charge of
the parts, I name them all.Copy !req
412. Looks like the only part around
here I didn't name is you.Copy !req
413. Who...
Who's there?Copy !req
414. "The Prince of Space
has come to pay a call."Copy !req
415. Oh, Shirotsugh...!Copy !req
416. Good evening!Copy !req
417. Good evening, Shirotsugh.Copy !req
418. Hey, what gives?
Why's it so dark in there?Copy !req
419. They've turned my power off.Copy !req
420. What? That's terrible!Copy !req
421. It's all right, though.
Candlelight is really pretty.Copy !req
422. And Manna's making all sorts of
interestingly shaped candles, too.Copy !req
423. Say, can you come out?
The sky's full of stars tonight.Copy !req
424. I can tell you about the stars,
like you asked me to.Copy !req
425. Just a sec.Copy !req
426. Come on, Manna. Let's go
out and look at the stars!Copy !req
427. Now then, you see the
prow star up there?Copy !req
428. It's 70 years away
at the speed of light.Copy !req
429. The light we're seeing now
left that star 70 years ago.Copy !req
430. So if we were 70 years old,
then the light produced...Copy !req
431. on my birthday would
just be getting here now.Copy !req
432. Stars!Copy !req
433. Uh, yeah. That's right.Copy !req
434. I wonder what our world must look like,
from out among the stars...Copy !req
435. Oh yeah! I've got
something to show you.Copy !req
436. It's a satellite
photo of our world.Copy !req
437. It's black.Copy !req
438. No, no.
The white part is the ground.Copy !req
439. It's a radar image,
so the picture's not very clear.Copy !req
440. Still, from that far away...Copy !req
441. our city lights would
probably look like stars.Copy !req
442. The fires of our wars, as well.Copy !req
443. They're too sinful...Copy !req
444. to be mixing among
the pure light of the stars...Copy !req
445. Salute!Copy !req
446. A Holy Book?
But, I...Copy !req
447. I know, but I still
want you to have it.Copy !req
448. Something to read if you ever
feel troubled by anything.Copy !req
449. Well, I'd rather you were
with me when I read it.Copy !req
450. Let's make some tea.Copy !req
451. Manna.Copy !req
452. You don't let yourself
have any fun, do you?Copy !req
453. Can't you and God work out
some sort of a compromise?Copy !req
454. Compromise?Copy !req
455. I mean, don't overdo it.Copy !req
456. I don't think I'm overdoing anything!Copy !req
457. And that, that "compromise"
you're talking about...Copy !req
458. is what's made the
world what it is today!Copy !req
459. It's become a lot easier to live in.Copy !req
460. Manna! I said we
were making tea now!Copy !req
461. Oh, what's wrong?
We weren't fighting.Copy !req
462. Forgive me.
See, we've made up already.Copy !req
463. Voilà! A little
present from Papa.Copy !req
464. A real, live
training simulator.Copy !req
465. Me first!Copy !req
466. Wow, this thing's cool.Copy !req
467. 85 million radeks, man.
85 million!Copy !req
468. That's a lot of money,
so don't break it.Copy !req
469. Truth is, we really don't have
the money.Copy !req
470. Things will be a lot better if the Assembly
approves this appropriation.Copy !req
471. Huh? They still
haven't approved it?Copy !req
472. So where're we
getting our money from?Copy !req
473. Oh, here and there.Copy !req
474. Here and there?Copy !req
475. You really don't know?Copy !req
476. Well, being part
of the nobility...Copy !req
477. the General's got a lot
of pull with the royal family.Copy !req
478. So there's this slightly illegal
business he has on the side.Copy !req
479. With just his one telephone?Copy !req
480. One phone's all he needs.Copy !req
481. No one's there to take calls.
You see, from this year on...Copy !req
482. the royal family buys its
business cars from Miguren Motors.Copy !req
483. The same Miguren Motors
that's paying for our rocket.Copy !req
484. That's how it all works.Copy !req
485. Oh, sure.
That's how it all works.Copy !req
486. You're totally lost,
aren't you?Copy !req
487. Idiot!Copy !req
488. I'm here today to announce the
Space Force High Command's plans...Copy !req
489. for the construction of
our nation's space warship!Copy !req
490. That was the only statement
the Space Force's commander made.Copy !req
491. Also present at the ceremony was
his Royal Highness Prince Toness...Copy !req
492. who briefly addressed the crowd.Copy !req
493. As the protector
of the citizenry...Copy !req
494. of the Honneamano-Jikein-
Minadhan Federated Kingdom...Copy !req
495. Don't stand there!Copy !req
496. There, it's back.Copy !req
497. You're such a hick!Copy !req
498. The most important equipment
in that spacecraft is you.Copy !req
499. Air, water, heat...Copy !req
500. they will provide you with
conditions which differ...Copy !req
501. not in the slightest from
the room you sleep in at night.Copy !req
502. In return, you give it
the proper instructions.Copy !req
503. That's your relationship
with it in a nutshell.Copy !req
504. Trying to muscle it around
won't do you any good.Copy !req
505. Move calmly,
as a part of the machine.Copy !req
506. As delicately as possible,
as intimately as possible...Copy !req
507. 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500.
Second stage ignition.Copy !req
508. Normal!Copy !req
509. 8000, 8500.Copy !req
510. 9000, 9500!Copy !req
511. Space Force Headquarters.
Yeah.Copy !req
512. Phone call.
It's a girl.Copy !req
513. Yes, yes. Hello?Copy !req
514. Shirotsugh? For God's sake,
get out here fast! Help me!Copy !req
515. Hey, what do you think?
I just finished.Copy !req
516. Pretty slick, huh?
Wanna take her for a spin?Copy !req
517. Great, you're gonna try it!
I changed the ignition switch.Copy !req
518. What do you think?
Runs pretty good, huh?Copy !req
519. Space Rider! Cool!Copy !req
520. The men from the power company
kept coming, day after day...Copy !req
521. The house belonged to my aunt,
so I thought everything was okay.Copy !req
522. But the men...Copy !req
523. My aunt owed people money.Copy !req
524. So? So? That doesn't
make what they did right!Copy !req
525. Power plant...?Copy !req
526. Right, we'll take 'em to court!
The state will pay for the lawsuit.Copy !req
527. Or I will, if you want.
If you need a lawyer...Copy !req
528. No, it's all right.
Really, it's all right.Copy !req
529. I don't want her to
see any more fighting.Copy !req
530. Her parents were like that.Copy !req
531. Just fighting, day after day.Copy !req
532. Stop it!
Stop it, please!Copy !req
533. I'm sorry I called you out
here for something like this.Copy !req
534. Something like this?
But it's... It's...Copy !req
535. There's a church
not far from here.Copy !req
536. There are people
there who will help.Copy !req
537. I think I can stay with
them for a little while.Copy !req
538. And Manna can make some
friends there, too...Copy !req
539. All right...Copy !req
540. Come on,
let's dig your stuff out.Copy !req
541. splendour is most evident in the
famous Nedens Palace. This beauty...Copy !req
542. region, today will be fine...Copy !req
543. with clouds moving
in later tonight...Copy !req
544. "The Age of Fire.
When God created man... "Copy !req
545. "man was like the animals
and did not possess fire."Copy !req
546. "It is with fire that
God lives forever."Copy !req
547. "Dao stole a burning branch
and ran off as fast as he could."Copy !req
548. "But the Protector of the
ovens had foreseen this..."Copy !req
549. "and had cursed the fire."Copy !req
550. "Dao carried the fire home, and
tried to use it like God himself."Copy !req
551. "And Dao's seven sons were killed."Copy !req
552. "These were mankind's
first deaths."Copy !req
553. "And God appeared before
Dao and gave a prophecy."Copy !req
554. "'Man,' he said,
'you have been cursed.'"Copy !req
555. "'Your children shall struggle
and quarrel and live in sorrow.'"Copy !req
556. "'Their misfortune shall spread
to the ends of the land.'"Copy !req
557. "'They shall murder one another
until the end of time.'"Copy !req
558. You're sure it's safe
standing this close?Copy !req
559. Ah, we're fine, we're fine.Copy !req
560. The old engines would blow
every time we throttled up!Copy !req
561. It took 20 years to get to this state.
Sorta like real sons.Copy !req
562. Insolent, and a real pain
in the ass sometimes!Copy !req
563. You can tell kids are in a bad mood
when they don't eat breakfast!Copy !req
564. Yeah! Even when they
turn on their old man...Copy !req
565. they don't do it all of a sudden.
They'll give some warning first.Copy !req
566. 1, 4, 5.Copy !req
567. 1... 4... 5.Copy !req
568. So, you weren't
hit by any fragments?Copy !req
569. Not even a piece.Copy !req
570. Oh sure, you get
away safe and sound...Copy !req
571. and the Doc winds
up in the hospital.Copy !req
572. Serves him right,
leaving me there like that.Copy !req
573. Next one's 5, 6.Copy !req
574. 5, 6.Copy !req
575. Well, thanks to this getting in and out
of the factory's gotten complicated.Copy !req
576. 1, 3, 4.
Why's that?Copy !req
577. Because they think the
radicals may have done it.Copy !req
578. Radicals?Copy !req
579. The guys who oppose
the King's decisions.Copy !req
580. There've been a lot of
protest letters lately.Copy !req
581. News to me.Copy !req
582. They're burning them
day after day.Copy !req
583. And now some idiots are actually
yelling for random bombings.Copy !req
584. Next.Copy !req
585. Uhh...
3, 4, 5.Copy !req
586. What? Gimme that.Copy !req
587. Hey, that's the second row!Copy !req
588. For crying out loud...Copy !req
589. Sorry.Copy !req
590. Better get with it,
or else it won't work...Copy !req
591. Hey, someone get the cat and his
keeper off the electronic brain!Copy !req
592. Don't you have a job?Copy !req
593. Pulled an all-nighter last night.
The old guys were at it again...Copy !req
594. Stop shakin'it!Copy !req
595. The Doc, he's...
He's dead!Copy !req
596. When?Copy !req
597. A little while ago,
at the hospital.Copy !req
598. The Space Force's gala promotional reception
welcomed a royal guest from the capital.Copy !req
599. Also appearing tonight was
the world's first astronaut...Copy !req
600. Lt. Colonel
Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
601. That dress uniform he's
wearing really suits him.Copy !req
602. When Prince Toness asked, "Doesn't
going into space frighten you?"...Copy !req
603. he light-heartedly replied,
"It really hasn't bothered me. "Copy !req
604. You in there! Have you ever
had to worry about money?Copy !req
605. You have no idea what it's like!
We don't even have a urinal to piss in!Copy !req
606. It's getting colder
and colder for us.Copy !req
607. You think you can survive winter
with only two blankets?Copy !req
608. Outta the way!
Lemme through!Copy !req
609. What good does an astronaut do?Copy !req
610. Look at the bridges we built...Copy !req
611. What's with these
guys at the front?Copy !req
612. Protest. It was
hell this morning.Copy !req
613. The protesters were fighting
against the beggars over the place.Copy !req
614. So what's the unemployment
movement want with us?Copy !req
615. No, no.
It's the anti-war movement.Copy !req
616. They're saying we should be
building bridges and not rockets.Copy !req
617. Like I said,
the unemployment movement!Copy !req
618. Spend all our money for a bunch
of bridges we don't need, huh?Copy !req
619. Out in the country, we still
use boats, for God's sake!Copy !req
620. I'd take the bridges
over a space warship.Copy !req
621. At least those
wouldn't kill anyone.Copy !req
622. Hey, hey, hey,
don't let 'em get to you.Copy !req
623. They're just saying all
that because they want jobs.Copy !req
624. This rocket will
be used for war.Copy !req
625. You can use
bridges for war, too.Copy !req
626. You're the one
who started all this!Copy !req
627. Me?
I doubt that.Copy !req
628. Then who started it?Copy !req
629. Hey!Copy !req
630. Lt. Colonel Lhadatt's morning begins
with a glass of fruit juice.Copy !req
631. After light training,
he eats a hearty breakfast...Copy !req
632. of soft bread
and broiled kress fruit.Copy !req
633. Right, because
they're good for you.Copy !req
634. Shirotsugh Lhadatt,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
635. Wha...?Copy !req
636. Asshole!Copy !req
637. Hey! Yo!Copy !req
638. Matti! You...!Copy !req
639. Good, there you are.
I was just reading the paper...Copy !req
640. Oh? You're wet.
We've got trouble!Copy !req
641. It says here that the
launch will be from Kanea.Copy !req
642. When was the launch
site moved so far south?Copy !req
643. Oh, didn't you know?Copy !req
644. We can't use the Army's
launch site after all.Copy !req
645. 600 ren west of Kanea?
That's over the border!Copy !req
646. No, it's all right.
Ah, there's a map...Copy !req
647. It's right on the
demilitarised zone!Copy !req
648. No, no. This way it's
3000 ren closer to the equator.Copy !req
649. It'll be easier to make
it to orbit, you see...Copy !req
650. Yeah, I know!
My God, how could they?Copy !req
651. They're sending us
to a powder keg...Copy !req
652. to launch off the world's
biggest firecracker!Copy !req
653. Wasn't anyone against it?Copy !req
654. It wasn't our decision.
It was the ministry's.Copy !req
655. Ministry? What minis...?
The Defence Ministry?Copy !req
656. norinosska, zuiben mattoishi
suru rekujishieto.Copy !req
657. Uh, kurufateeji onla
laku... lakure...Copy !req
658. Lakuretoria!Copy !req
659. Just speak in the
vernacular. Be yourself.Copy !req
660. Thanks, I appreciate it.Copy !req
661. But really, there's
nothing more for me to say.Copy !req
662. You're finished?
Then let me speak.Copy !req
663. You are right, we just don't
see the appeal of your rocket.Copy !req
664. Space travel? We're concerned
with the military here.Copy !req
665. Who would invest in something
that just flies into space?Copy !req
666. It's a waste to assign a whole
squadron to it.Copy !req
667. There's something wrong with the
very existence of the Space Force!Copy !req
668. Well... but... then why let
the project get this far...?Copy !req
669. We needed to find a way
to properly end the program.Copy !req
670. The royal family,
the Transportation Ministry...Copy !req
671. the roots of your Space Force
reach into many areas.Copy !req
672. And all of us finished
regretting a long time ago.Copy !req
673. The only problem now is
how to forget about it.Copy !req
674. We can't just end it by saying,
"Oh, it was useless."Copy !req
675. But, this project is attracting
the attention of every nation.Copy !req
676. Even the Republic wants
our rocket information.Copy !req
677. So, to launch it right on the
border of enemy occupied Rimada...Copy !req
678. So go ahead! Launch it,
or whatever you please.Copy !req
679. We just want for it to be seen by
the Republic's forces in Rimada.Copy !req
680. And what will they do with a lovely
rocket right before their eyes?Copy !req
681. Steal it!Copy !req
682. Steal it. That way, it will
at least be useful.Copy !req
683. A border violation via military force.
Outright theft of property...Copy !req
684. It'll be quite a loss.Copy !req
685. Reparations will have to come
from somewhere, of course.Copy !req
686. The only real question is whether
or not they'll actually attack.Copy !req
687. Don't worry.Copy !req
688. They've quite an investment in
your rocket over there as well, huh?Copy !req
689. Ready?Copy !req
690. Aye, sir!Copy !req
691. We begin.Copy !req
692. You're cruising along,
about to take a well deserved shit.Copy !req
693. Your altitude is 3000,
speed of 200 ren per second.Copy !req
694. The next contact zone
is far over the horizon.Copy !req
695. Cabin pressure abnormality
in oxygen tank #1!Copy !req
696. Primary lines, closed.
Activating auxiliary power.Copy !req
697. Three!
Suspending nitrogen supply!Copy !req
698. Inertial systems reading
abnormal acceleration.Copy !req
699. Resetting multifunction systems.
Capsule pressure, unchanged!Copy !req
700. Good, you've
earned your payslip.Copy !req
701. Next, crisis
situation #5-7-5.Copy !req
702. "The City of Fire."Copy !req
703. "My son, soon you must
depart the marketplace."Copy !req
704. "Here, all the good things
are stained with blood."Copy !req
705. "God will be
silent no longer."Copy !req
706. "This city of filth
was created by fire."Copy !req
707. "By fire it shall
be destroyed."Copy !req
708. "Anything arising from evil will
never be good."Copy !req
709. "And so, my son,
even you must be prepared."Copy !req
710. Stop!Copy !req
711. Calm down, dammit!Copy !req
712. You little...!Copy !req
713. Yes, that's perfect.Copy !req
714. Okay, let's have you
lean to the left this time.Copy !req
715. Smile now.
A little more!Copy !req
716. That's it!Copy !req
717. That's the way, nice and cheerful.
A real hero for all the kiddies.Copy !req
718. Shirotsugh!
Shirotsugh! Shirotsugh!Copy !req
719. You're kidding!Copy !req
720. To everyone in the kingdom,
good morning!Copy !req
721. I'm coming to you from the Space
Force Headquarters in Naghatsumih.Copy !req
722. An area which has known
its share of history.Copy !req
723. This port city is famous for
being the core city for Umon.Copy !req
724. It was here that his Highness
the King lived as a child...Copy !req
725. and this neighbourhood is famous
for its ties to the royal family.Copy !req
726. The Space Force
Headquarters are...Copy !req
727. Welcome back, General.
When did you get in?Copy !req
728. Last night's train.Copy !req
729. I see. And the
administration's decision?Copy !req
730. No comment!Copy !req
731. You call it a space "warship."
Will it actually carry weaponry?Copy !req
732. No comment!Copy !req
733. I can only say that it will be
capable of carrying such devices.Copy !req
734. Can't you look happier?
Like a professional astronaut?Copy !req
735. Lt. Colonel! Lt. Colonel!Copy !req
736. He's been promoted.
It's colonel, now.Copy !req
737. Colonel then.
Smile a bit... smile...Copy !req
738. Got it. Thank you.Copy !req
739. We're about ready to go.Copy !req
740. Cheer up. See you.Copy !req
741. Now, Colonel, be sure to stress
your mission as a space hero.Copy !req
742. Mission?Copy !req
743. Well, you know. The whole
meaning of the space program.Copy !req
744. Why so many people have
died for it so far...Copy !req
745. and why we have to go
on despite all that.Copy !req
746. Just think of
something, okay?Copy !req
747. Look over here,
Mr. Hero. Hey, you!Copy !req
748. Have you heard?Copy !req
749. They say 30,000 people could
have a warm place to live in...Copy !req
750. if the Space Force's
budget were cut by half.Copy !req
751. Well now, any thoughts
on the arms race?Copy !req
752. How about on war?Copy !req
753. You deny the corruption problems
with Miguren Motors?Copy !req
754. You don't know anything, do you?Copy !req
755. Uh, we're about to start! Hey!Copy !req
756. Vice Minister Nerredon of the
Republic today harshly criticised...Copy !req
757. the space warship program
of the Kingdom of Honnêamise...Copy !req
758. calling the entire project
"a threat to world peace. "Copy !req
759. Ah, good work this morning.Copy !req
760. The new photographs have arrived, sir.Copy !req
761. The space hero?Copy !req
762. He looks like a presumptuous guy.Copy !req
763. It's almost winter there. The northern
hemisphere's seasons are reversed.Copy !req
764. Ah, I see.Copy !req
765. Lt. Colonel Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
766. Doesn't look too bright.Copy !req
767. Weapons Division is urging
we seize the space warship.Copy !req
768. An absurd request. Incompetents!Copy !req
769. They'll have to wait.Copy !req
770. Stealing a distant nation's rocket.Copy !req
771. It isn't that simple.Copy !req
772. These things take time to set up.Copy !req
773. The Office of Security is taking
steps to obstruct their progress.Copy !req
774. Assassination... Not terribly subtle, is it?Copy !req
775. But terribly effective, sir.Copy !req
776. "'Sin is everywhere.'"Copy !req
777. "God said this,
looking down at the world."Copy !req
778. "The sins of man will
immerse the world. We..."Copy !req
779. Shirotsugh!Copy !req
780. Bring in the laundry
before it gets dark.Copy !req
781. Okay?
I'll see you later.Copy !req
782. Nice outfit.
Somebody bought it for you?Copy !req
783. Where's the toilet?Copy !req
784. Manna, bring us some
towels, would you?Copy !req
785. Thank you.Copy !req
786. Thanks.Copy !req
787. Manna, did you bring the
laundry in like I asked you to?Copy !req
788. No one came while
I was out, did they?Copy !req
789. Oh, and if you
see Uncle Dori...Copy !req
790. be sure and thank him
for the winter clothes.Copy !req
791. Even besides that, he's done
so much for us already.Copy !req
792. "You cannot live without
your daily bread."Copy !req
793. "Truth changes to lies
when it leaves your lips."Copy !req
794. "Virtue changes to evil
when it leaves your hands."Copy !req
795. "What you see as good may
not be good as God sees it."Copy !req
796. "What can any of
you do but pray? "Copy !req
797. "Prayer is a small thing,
but it is everything."Copy !req
798. "There is nothing more
noble than prayer."Copy !req
799. "There is nothing
more humble..."Copy !req
800. Oh, good morning,
Shirotsugh.Copy !req
801. It looks like
nice weather today.Copy !req
802. About last night...Copy !req
803. Forgive me. I couldn't...
I was... Please forgive me.Copy !req
804. You didn't do anything.Copy !req
805. Because I couldn't!Copy !req
806. Forgive me. I don't
know what came over me.Copy !req
807. Hitting a wonderful
person like you...Copy !req
808. I didn't mean to.
You aren't hurt, are you?Copy !req
809. What? No! That's not...Copy !req
810. No, I know you'll
forgive me...Copy !req
811. but I'll never be
able to forgive myself.Copy !req
812. Believe me, I'm sorry.Copy !req
813. Hey, isn't that
Shirotsugh over there?Copy !req
814. That idiot. And wearing
the peacock suit, too!Copy !req
815. Yo!Copy !req
816. Hi!Copy !req
817. Ohh... you idiot! Why'd you
have to wear that thing?Copy !req
818. Don't you know you're
a celebrity around here?Copy !req
819. Dress uniform's the thing to wear
for sending you off to your posts.Copy !req
820. So where'd you disappear
to all of a sudden for three days?Copy !req
821. Were you with
a girl or something?Copy !req
822. Well...Copy !req
823. Why, you little...!Copy !req
824. Tchallichammi! Majaho!Copy !req
825. You are hereby dispatched
to the Guria Observatory.Copy !req
826. Move out!Copy !req
827. Salute!Copy !req
828. Drop us a line when you get into
space. We'll be easy to find.Copy !req
829. And don't make
any more work for us.Copy !req
830. At ease!Copy !req
831. It's gonna be lonely around here
with all you guys leaving.Copy !req
832. Well, Darigan's in charge
of launch control training.Copy !req
833. He and I'll be leaving for the
launch site the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
834. Nekkerout might still be around.Copy !req
835. Hell, Kharock's already gone to
the launch site with the old men.Copy !req
836. I got some mail the other day.
When are you gonna head over there?Copy !req
837. I don't know. Ol' Baldy just
won't give me a break.Copy !req
838. Looks like I keep training
right up 'til the end.Copy !req
839. How much?Copy !req
840. 3 gaku.Copy !req
841. Say, Matti... Suppose
that life was a story...Copy !req
842. Come again?Copy !req
843. No, if you were to
think about it like that.Copy !req
844. Well, have you ever wondered if...
If maybe you aren't a good guy?Copy !req
845. That you're one of
the bad guys, instead?Copy !req
846. I guess...Copy !req
847. It's just...Copy !req
848. Only...Copy !req
849. The people around us now,
our parents, everyone.Copy !req
850. You see, I think I'm
here only because...Copy !req
851. they need me even
for a little bit.Copy !req
852. Take this
hardware stand.Copy !req
853. It's here only because
it serves a purpose for someone.Copy !req
854. I don't think there're any totally
useless things in the world.Copy !req
855. How could something
like that exist?Copy !req
856. Someone recognises this guy's
necessity, so he's here.Copy !req
857. If the need for him were to
disappear, then so would he.Copy !req
858. That's what I think, anyway.
Does it help?Copy !req
859. Yeah, it does. Thanks.Copy !req
860. Run for it!Copy !req
861. Help!Copy !req
862. What's with that old bag?
Is she a radical?Copy !req
863. Like I know?Copy !req
864. That made me hungry...Copy !req
865. Split up!Copy !req
866. Wait for me Matti!
Wait!Copy !req
867. Get away from me,
you idiot!Copy !req
868. I'm the one
getting shot at!Copy !req
869. Like I said,
get away from me!Copy !req
870. Dead end!Copy !req
871. What the...!
What's going on here?Copy !req
872. You two okay?Copy !req
873. Hey, look at this!
It's that space guy, Lhadatt!Copy !req
874. Hi...Copy !req
875. We'd better not
go back today.Copy !req
876. Yeah. If she ambushes us again,
we're dead for sure.Copy !req
877. Okay, until you hear something definite
just lose yourself at that girl's house.Copy !req
878. See you!Copy !req
879. This is not a jellyfish.
It's a triangular octopus.Copy !req
880. What about this one?Copy !req
881. This? It's a...Copy !req
882. starfish!Copy !req
883. Oh, I see.Copy !req
884. H-Hey! Whoa...!Copy !req
885. Hey, what the...!Copy !req
886. Hey, the hell are you doing!Copy !req
887. Help!Copy !req
888. You okay?Copy !req
889. Are you hurt?Copy !req
890. Over here!Copy !req
891. You all right?Copy !req
892. Yeah, fine.Copy !req
893. Civilisation did not create war.
War created civilisation.Copy !req
894. Who said that?Copy !req
895. I did. The human race broke free
of the hell of primitive times...Copy !req
896. and marched through 100,000 years
to reach this point.Copy !req
897. And what of the present?
Have we really advanced at all?Copy !req
898. When I was young,
I wanted to be a historian.Copy !req
899. Why didn't you?Copy !req
900. A war started,
so I became a soldier instead.Copy !req
901. I fought desperately to defend my
country from that foreign invasion.Copy !req
902. At the same time, I knew that
it wasn't justice.Copy !req
903. I knew very well that we were just repeating our murderous past.Copy !req
904. It was quite a blow.Copy !req
905. Not becoming a soldier.Copy !req
906. I mean studying history.Copy !req
907. History is a game which doesn't
end until you've lost everything.Copy !req
908. Perhaps we're not as different from
the monkeys as we like to think.Copy !req
909. Will we repeat our old mistakes?
Do we have any choice in the matter?Copy !req
910. The most important thing you can do
is to be aware of your situation.Copy !req
911. To ask yourself "What should I do?
What shouldn't I do? "Copy !req
912. The only eyes you can trust are
the ones on top of your own nose.Copy !req
913. Look through them now!
What do they show you?Copy !req
914. A girl's butt.Copy !req
915. You'd miss a forest for the trees.Copy !req
916. Hello, Manna. You're alone?Copy !req
917. Riqunni... must be working.Copy !req
918. Well, could you give
her a message for me?Copy !req
919. I'll be going away for a while.
I won't be able to visit.Copy !req
920. Manna, would you like me to
bring something back for you?Copy !req
921. A star.Copy !req
922. I can't.Copy !req
923. The stars are really
really far away.Copy !req
924. Tough one... I'm going
where there's nothing at all.Copy !req
925. Out there?Copy !req
926. Yeah, it's out there...
Here, there, and everywhere.Copy !req
927. Oh, Shirotsugh!Copy !req
928. I've gotta go.Copy !req
929. Come back soon.Copy !req
930. Magazine, sir?Copy !req
931. Uh, Colonel, sir...
May I have your autograph?Copy !req
932. Name?Copy !req
933. Maashi Treen, sir.Copy !req
934. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
935. Oh, and fasten your seatbelt.Copy !req
936. Wine tasting... Very refined, sir.Copy !req
937. The plan is finally in motion.Copy !req
938. Really?Copy !req
939. We'll be using our forces
stationed in Rimada.Copy !req
940. Jets as well?Copy !req
941. A battlefield test for our latest weapons.Copy !req
942. Excellent.Copy !req
943. Rimadan military trains
are moving north.Copy !req
944. Next report will be at noon.Copy !req
945. So, they're moving.Copy !req
946. Do you think they'll fly
their new jets?Copy !req
947. Yeah, we aren't the only ones
that want to see how well they work.Copy !req
948. With a little luck, we might even
see them do an in-air refuelling.Copy !req
949. Hello everyone. This is
astronaut Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
950. I am currently in orbit,
flying 200 ren above our world.Copy !req
951. Um... Uhh...Copy !req
952. "What I see now..."Copy !req
953. Oh, I can't do this.Copy !req
954. Umm, "What I see now,
looking down at our world is..."Copy !req
955. Tanks!Copy !req
956. Look again.
They're fakes.Copy !req
957. Fakes?Copy !req
958. "They're fakes, they're fakes.
They're all just fakes..."Copy !req
959. Whoa!Copy !req
960. "And here comes the
biggest fake of all!"Copy !req
961. So, I'm gonna be launched
in this thing, huh?Copy !req
962. You can sound a
little happier about it.Copy !req
963. Yo, Shiro!Copy !req
964. One totally safe third stage.
A real bargain if you want it!Copy !req
965. Slowly... Slowly...
Okay, hold it!Copy !req
966. Like that! Like that!
Got it!Copy !req
967. Good morning, sir.Copy !req
968. Hello-everyone-this-is-astronaut-
Shirotsugh-Lhadatt. I-am...Copy !req
969. Say it properly!Copy !req
970. Oh, like anyone actually
listens to microwave broadcasts!Copy !req
971. Okay, push!Copy !req
972. It's finished!Copy !req
973. This is astronaut
Shirotsugh Lhadatt.Copy !req
974. I am currently in orbit,
flying 200 ren above our world...Copy !req
975. Can't sleep, huh?Copy !req
976. About this time tomorrow, you'll
have flown straight into history.Copy !req
977. The guys who were helping with
the construction today.Copy !req
978. They found tons of sea shells.Copy !req
979. Oh? Why are they here?Copy !req
980. Why do you think they are?Copy !req
981. A long time ago, a stone age tribe
used to dump their garbage here.Copy !req
982. Funny, isn't it?
This modern rocket of ours...Copy !req
983. is standing in a
prehistoric trash heap!Copy !req
984. Well, I'll bet those stone age guys never thought
their garbage dump would be used to launch a spaceship.Copy !req
985. What do you think they'll be
finding here in 10,000 years?Copy !req
986. A truly historic pile of steel frames and concrete
mixed in with somebody else's leftovers.Copy !req
987. Yeah, this Majaho over
at Guria Observatory.Copy !req
988. Get me the General!Copy !req
989. What is it?Copy !req
990. How are things going?Copy !req
991. We're crawling with Central
Intelligence guys on this end.Copy !req
992. They keep asking if we've changed
the launch time every one maal.Copy !req
993. Right, I understand!
All right... Don't worry.Copy !req
994. Just hang up!Copy !req
995. The red one?
No, the yellow?Copy !req
996. That one.Copy !req
997. Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
998. Launch day is finally here.Copy !req
999. Good morning, sir!Copy !req
1000. Where's the
launch commander?Copy !req
1001. In the control bunker...Copy !req
1002. The schedule controller?Copy !req
1003. Sleeping, sir.Copy !req
1004. Then wake him!Copy !req
1005. We've been working round
the clock for 4 days, sir.Copy !req
1006. Everyone's exhausted!Copy !req
1007. I'm moving the
launch time up two maal.Copy !req
1008. Impossible! We need at least half
a day to complete preparations!Copy !req
1009. There are signs that Central Intelligence
has been leaking the information.Copy !req
1010. I'm afraid we might
be attacked tonight.Copy !req
1011. But, how? We can't take out
anything from the schedule!Copy !req
1012. We'll shorten the
engineering check.Copy !req
1013. Cut 124 pages from
the beginning of the sixth book.Copy !req
1014. Do not tell the observatory
until the last possible moment.Copy !req
1015. Have Shirotsugh take a shower.Copy !req
1016. Just a minute, sir!
That's going too far.Copy !req
1017. It's dangerous!
General! I'm against this!Copy !req
1018. It's okay. I'll go.Copy !req
1019. It'll be a lot more dangerous
if the enemy shows up here.Copy !req
1020. No one's gonna stop them
anyway, right?Copy !req
1021. This operation's objective is the
capture of the launch facilities.Copy !req
1022. Do not lose sight of this in the raid.Copy !req
1023. You will be refuelling once,
from the air fortress, over Rimada.Copy !req
1024. Empty your pockets on this one!Copy !req
1025. Luck be with us!Copy !req
1026. Hurry up with the fuel!Copy !req
1027. Check on the third stage
and its connections!Copy !req
1028. Scratch that! We won't
know unless we put fuel into it.Copy !req
1029. Hey. Let's go.Copy !req
1030. Begin liquid oxygen onload.Copy !req
1031. Would all stations please
report in and confirm status?Copy !req
1032. Message in from Rimada.Copy !req
1033. "Formation has made
contact with air fortress. "Copy !req
1034. I know. We'll run into them
in the sky above the site.Copy !req
1035. Gotcha... Roger. Moving out.Copy !req
1036. Domurhot, phone call from
the launch site for you.Copy !req
1037. We're launching early.Copy !req
1038. Start getting the satellite
tracking systems ready.Copy !req
1039. We're gonna outsmart them!Copy !req
1040. How much more?Copy !req
1041. I'm finishing up now.
Yeah, that's got it.Copy !req
1042. Good, we're on schedule.Copy !req
1043. Launch personnel report
to control bunker.Copy !req
1044. All other personnel, move
to your regular positions.Copy !req
1045. Check completed.Copy !req
1046. Activating pressurisation pumps.Copy !req
1047. Activated.Copy !req
1048. Tank #1 cabin

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

It's achieved orbital velocity.Copy !req
1152. He's in orbit!Copy !req
1153. WE'VE DONE IT!Copy !req
1154. City lights...
I wonder where they are...?Copy !req
1155. They really do
look like stars...Copy !req
1156. Is anybody down there
listening to this broadcast?Copy !req
1157. This is mankind's first astronaut.Copy !req
1158. The human race
