"The dreams embraced by a single life are boundless beyond even the stars." "The dreams that we foster over time are waiting for the moment when we come upon them." "The words we exchange make our hearts tremble, and a chance meeting could change the future." "People, no matter who they are, as they pursue their dreams, have the courage to travel new paths." "As we leave behind a living testament of our journey, the Galaxy Railways on which we travel continue ever on." "When a grain of wheat falls to earth, does anyone hear the sound it makes?" "When the wheat produces a bounty of grain, that is when people first realize the true value of a grain of wheat." ""Afterglow"" "Mom..." "Hey, Tenderfoot!" "Yes!" "?" "You sure are getting cozy, aren't you?" "I'm finished doing the maintenance." "These aren't tight enough." "What are you looking at?" "Nothing much..." "If you've got time to stare at my face, you've got time to tighten the other nuts!" "Do the whole train over again!" "That SDF boy is getting it right off the bat, huh?" "I hear he's undergoing re-training." "I guess he hasn't been making the grade." "Well, it does a person good to come here at least once and have Old Man Whitman get angry at them." "Especlally youngsters like him." "Standing guard on the rich man's train, eh?" "I wonder how Yuuki-kun is doing..." "SDF!" "How cool!" "Little boy... have you gotten lost?" "Where's your mother?" "Charlie!" "Pegasus Express No. 227, bound for Rosamund will be departing shortly..." "Mama!" "Watch yourself, now." "Those who are boarding, please hurry." "Pegasus, so beautiful, as you gallop through the skies..." "Yet shall your wings be broken, and yourself covered in dirt." "All of them, he says." "How many of these does he think there are?" "Here, here, and here." "Listen, each train has its own quirks." "You have to know where they tend to come loose, or you're no good as a maintenance worker." "Until you learn, you'll just have to do them all, won't you?" "I'm just here to study and train." "Oh?" "So the tenderfoots these days are starting to talk back like this now, are they?" "Whitman, I have a name" " Yuuki Manabu!" "You can't serve in the SDF and not know anything about trains." "Am I wrong, Tenderfoot?" "Enough already." "You bother me." "Hurry up and get out of here!" "This just isn't my day." "So what about the nuts?" "I know about them!" "What's that?" "Incredible!" "They're scrapping this car, too?" "It's a pretty old model." "It's bolted together nice and tight." "What did you do that for!" "?" "Do not touch this with your filthy hands!" "I was just looking at it, you know!" "What can you tell just by looking?" "Now you're going to lecture me about junkyard cars!" "?" "It's just going to get scrapped anyway, right!" "?" "What is it with you!" "?" "If you've got a problem with me, then come out and say it!" "Come with me." "I've got something to say to you." "I've had enough!" "Judging by the look on your face, he really let you have it, huh?" "It's nothing." "You must have touched No. 825." "Am I wrong?" "That train is the old-timer's treasure, you see..." "When the old-timer became a mechanic, it was the first train he was put in charge of." "He beamed just as brightly as those cars did." "But then who could have known ahead of time about the destruction of Planet Rosamund?" "Brother!" "It was a disaster that destroyed half the planet." "At the time, the old man was heading back to Destiny on No. 825," "loaded with magnetic ore." "Rosamund Station, the mine, and the old man's house were on the chunk that got blown away." "Many people perished, including his parents, his younger sister, and all the people from the town where he was born and raised." "Rosamund Mine was shut down, and the old man was stationed here, at Headquarters' maintenance department." "Ever since then, he's been looking after No. 825, making sure she can take off at any time." "But tomorrow is her last day." "She's going to be junked tomorrow, at that same scrap yard you were at." "Watch what you say around him." "The old man can't stand it when people talk about the past." "This is a message from the Pegasus Express..." "The train is now entering Planet Rosamund's scenic Water Harp Caverns." "Previously, this was a mine for unique magnetic ores." "Please enjoy the mystical music woven by the magnetically charged ores and the falling droplets of water." "What was that just now...?" "The magnetic shields have failed!" "Mama!" "Are we okay now?" "Please remain calm." "We are currently conducting an inspection to ensure our safety." "Please wait shortly until we get underway again." "This is the Pegasus Express." "We have encountered a magnetic cascade within Planet Rosamund's view point, and are unable to move." "Request Immediate assistance!" "Receiving an emergency transmission from the Pegasus Express!" "They are unable to move!" "I can't contact them!" "Send Sirius Platoon at once." "Roger!" "A magnetic cascade has occurred within Planet Rosamund's view point." "Sirius Platoon, mobilize at once!" "Go and rescue the Pegasus Express." "Rosamund...?" "Repeat-- a magnetic cascade has occurred within Planet Rosamund's view point." "Sirius Platoon, mobilize at once." "Go and rescue the Pegasus Express." "Systems all green!" "Big One, move out!" "Where's Whitman!" "?" "Beats me." "Probably with his partner, I imagine." "Electrical systems check out..." "Power systems check out..." "Magnetic shield checks out..." "Audrey..." "Okay then, let's do it, partner." "Old.timer!" "This is Headquarters." "No. 825 has not been cleared to depart." "Please come to a halt at once." "Repeat" " No. 825 has not been cleared to depart." "..Old.timer!" "..Please come to a halt at once." "What!" "?" "Old.timer..." "The inside of the Water Harp Caverns is like an ants' nest." "The Pegasus Express' current position is here." "Their location is exactly 1/8 of the way through the total length of 82 kilos." "We will go through Point A-F and then head toward them to rescue them." "This is bad." "The electrical systems have become unstable." "Are we okay?" "Depends on how long Big One's shields hold." "Don't worry." "If we have to, we can blow a hole through the guts of the cavern and rescue them that way." "Still unable to contact Pegasus Express." "Our quarry is in sight." "All we have to do now is take them back with us." "That's strange..." "What is it, Louis?" "I'm unable to monitor any sounds coming from the Water Harp Caverns." "Sounds?" "It's too quiet..." "Captain!" "The Pegasus Express...!" "Our magnetic shield has failed!" "The main control system is down!" "Get us through here one way or another!" "Damn It!" "Our drive systems are down!" "Where are you going?" "I'll do it manually." "Bruce!" "Damn, it's no use!" "Pegasus Express' drive speed is increasing to its limits." "The effects of the magnetic storm have probably made it a runaway." "What about Big One?" "Contact with them has been broken off." "Old-timer, the Pegasus Express...!" "I know!" "A- a- amazing acceleration!" "This freight train was designed to haul a full cargo of Rosamund's magnetic ores." "But now, we've got no cargo cars, and its load is no more than two people." "But it's going to be scrapped tomorrow, right?" "Who told you that?" "Uh, Akatsuki-san..." "For pete's sake, why did he have to do that?" "What's that!" "?" "What was that?" "Yuuki!" "?" "That bastard..." "Tenderfoot, why did you come with me?" "Why, you ask?" "Do you need a reason to help others?" "Old-timer, doesn't that go for you, too?" "I mean, you're a mechanic, and yet you're operating this thing, aren't you?" "It's the job of the SDF to help people." "I'm sorry about giving you nothing but backtalk." "Tenderfoot, those are admirable words, there!" "Get down!" "Relax, Tenderfoot!" "We still have our magnetic shields!" "Well?" "We got passed up by No. 825." "I see..." "How is the drive system?" "That will still take some time." "It's okay, Mama." "The SDF will come and help us." "This is bad." "There's a magnetic storm ahead." "When will systems be restored?" "I've finished reinstalling the drive program." "Sub-control systems are unaffected." "We can get going!" "All right, let's go!" "Right!" "Yuuki, save the Old-timer." "Old-timer!" "Snap to!" "I'm okay." "I'll take over." "Old-timer, you get some rest!" "Rosamund is the devil's own den." "I can't leave this up to a tenderfoot!" "Well then, direct me!" "That will be good enough, right?" "Who's in the picture?" "Didn't you hear?" "I wasn't able to save them... any of them..." "Not a single one of them..." "We have to rescue the Pegasus Express before the next magnetic storm hits." "Hurry!" "Right!" "The destruction from the magnetic storm is spreading." "It's only a matter of time before Planet Rosamund is destroyed." "We still have No. 825." "I see it!" "The Pegasus Express!" "All right, let's do it!" "Tenderfoot, are you ready for this!" "?" "Yes!" "It's no use!" "I've got no choice but to cut the passenger cars loose!" "What's that?" "This is the Rosamund Mine Freight Train No. 825." "We've just caught up with you." "We're going to start pulling on you via your coupling unit!" "No. 825!" "?" "Once the arms are extended, pull the lever at your feet!" "The operating lever will come out, and then it's all up to your timing." "It's up to you now, Tenderfoot!" "Damn!" "Don't rush It." "There's still time." "Listen to the song of the engine and match your timing with it." "Song of the engine...?" "That's right." "The song I've been listening to ever since I was a child." "They've caught up, huh?" "We can do this!" "Full speed, David!" "You got it!" "Go!" "It engaged!" "All right!" "I've put it in reverse!" "Get back here, Tenderfoot!" "Right!" "Old.timer!" "Old.timer!" "Old.timer!" "You did well, Partner." "Old.timer..." "This is Big One." "The magnetic storm's destruction is increasing." "Do not alter speed." "We'll hook up and flee from Rosamund together." "Captain!" "The old-timer...!" "Yuuki, is that you?" "Please help the old-timer!" "Somebody, help the old-timer!" "Help the old-timer!" "fire!" "Old.timer..." "Hey, Tenderfoot!" "That's what the old.timer would be saying." "The old.timer had a bad heart." "He said when he died, he wanted to be listening to the song of the engine while next to this thing." "Looks like he got his wish." "I also heard her song." "She had a stubborn, powerful voice, just like you did, Old-timer." "Ah!" "It's the No. 825!" "A grain of wheat..." "You never know whether its life will have had any value until the very last moment." "However, its memory will take root in people 's hearts, and in time, produce a bountiful harvest." "How many nights have I spent alone since then?" "Constantly having dreams of the hope that you are, as I lightly sleep." "The smiles and tears that you gave to me and me alone come to mind every time I get disheartened, and I set forth again toward the morrow." "The joyful light of the galaxy beckons me to that beloved person within my heart." "No matter how far apart we are, my memories will never fade." "My heart wishes always to be at your side." "Memories you 'd rather forget..." "memories you 'd rather keep..." "They are both testament to one 's life." "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 9:" ""Corridors of Memories"" "We 're going to encounter something at the next station."
