"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." "Train stations-- they are a place where greetings and farewells take place over and over." "People wave, and say to each other, "see you later. "" "However, everyone knows that there are farewells in life where you will never see the other person again." "Even so, they still say, "see you later. "" ""Harsh Verdict"" "Just a moment." "This is the one that you liked." "Drink as much as you like." "Don't cry." "He hated moping, you know." "In tribute to Bruce J. Speed, all hands, salute!" "Was this fate, too?" "Bruce, the man who shot you has been arrested." "The SDF is not a death squadron!" "If you mean to commit suicide, go somewhere else!" "I don't need a gun to help people in this job." "If you think you can get by with that utopian attitude of yours, then leave the SDF right now." "If you wish to stay, then carry this." "Is that an order?" "Yeah." "Understood." "I will carry it." "You're too soft, rookie." "If that hadn't been broken, you'd have kicked the bucket just now." "Are you trying to get both you and that criminal killed!" "?" "The SDF is not a death squadron!" "You're the one who told me that, Bruce!" "Shoot the Grim Reaper!" "Bruce!" "Stop that...!" "Stop!" "You have to give it up now, right?" "The name "Bruce the Grim Reaper"?" "Thanks, Manabu." "Bruce, you dumb bastard!" "Why did you have to die!" "?" "Why, in a place like that...!" "?" "You dumb bastard!" "If only I hadn't gotten hurt, Bruce wouldn't be..." "I should have been the one to die!" "Please don't blame yourself." "If you say that, then I believe Bruce-san would lament it more than anyone." "David, is it okay if I keep this harmonica?" "Ask him." "You were Bruce's star pupil." "Bruce, please let me keep this." "Thank you." "Bruce..." "W- what do you know!" "?" "What does a rookie like you know about the SDF!" "?" "Eh!" "?" "Hey!" "Stop it, Bruce!" "Captain..." "I'm sorry." "I went a little too far." "Look, just keep it within bounds." "Captain, Sirius Platoon here is like a family to me." "When I saw how he wants to do everything as he pleases, yet he can't do anything for himself, I couldn't help myself." "Family, huh?" "So, what you're trying to say is that I'm your old man?" "Whoa, please don't start with the "old man" gags, Captain." "What did you say?" "I'm sorry." "I've inadvertently given myself away." "You bastard!" "Bulge, you've been summoned to appear before an official regulatory board of inquiry." "I see." "Board of inquiry?" "What for?" "Why the captain?" "It's that Ivanov bastard." "Now he's done it." "Come with me." "All right." "What's this all about, Captain Murase?" "I don't understand." "Easy, Yuuki." "Captain!" "This is part of my duty." "Captain..." "Captain Bulge's actions at this time are in clear violation of article 23, paragraph 5 of the official regulations." "Consequently, in my judgment, he should be given a harsh sentence." "Schwanheld Bulge-kun, do you have any opposing arguments?" "I do not." "I would just point out that the matters pertaining to the existence of the Alfort Cluster Imperial Forces and the Cosmo Matrix that I reported have been expurgated from Director Ivanov's record." "Special Intelligence has taken charge of those matters." "They have nothing to do with this inquiry!" "However, if we delay our response, there will be no going back" "Silence!" "There is no way I am going to allow that information to get out!" "The matter of the Alfort Cluster Imperial Forces is under investigation." "You do not need to worry about it." "Violation of official regulations, as well as assaulting a superior officer, are both serious offenses." "Bulge-kun, until the board reaches its decision, you are relieved of duty as platoon captain." "Sirius Platoon is also hereby temporarily disbanded." "Understood." "Everything has been taken out of your hands now." "Yo." "Special Intelligence is working on it, but they apparently aren't buying the alternate dimension thing." "They're not paying any attention to the Cosmo Matrix." "Is that right?" "What are you going to do now?" "I'll do whatever I need to." "That sounds like you." "But why?" "Please answer me, Captain!" "Captain, you were just trying to protect Big One, weren't you?" "This is outrageous!" "The fact is, I did disregard orders, assault a superior officer, and allow Bruce to die." "That's not what I'm saying!" "Are you just going to step down like this?" "Are you going to take the blame for everything, and resign!" "?" "I have no intention of voluntarily resigning." "But I do intend to accept Headquarters' decision." "How can you...?" "Manabu!" "What would you tell Bruce!" "?" "Hey!" "Stop, Manabu!" "Captain!" "Yuuki, you're in Vega Platoon." "Louis, you're in Spica Platoon." "David, you've been assigned to Rigel Platoon." "Yuki, you'll be on ground duty." "No way!" "I'm not going to follow that order!" "If you don't like it, then quit." "The personnel listed will report to each of their platoons starting tomorrow." "That is all." "Please have faith in the captain." "I'm sure he has something in mind." "That's it." "Make sure that part is nice and tight." "Who is the maintenance chief here?" "Respond!" "So, he's here, huh?" "That would be me!" "I am Ivanov, from Special Intelligence." "Get over here!" "What can I do for you?" "There should have been a small item that Big One was analyzing." "Are you the one who removed it?" "Let's see, did I find anything like that...?" "Hand it over." "Gee, where did I put it?" "Don't screw with me!" "Oh, come to mention it..." "Do you mean this?" "Special Intelligence will take charge of this." "Thank you for all of your efforts." "To hell with this thing..." "We're almost to Planet Hyde." "All right." "Commence deceleration." "Roger." "Yuuki!" "You're not here as a guest!" "Stop spacing off." "Bruce!" "Snap out of it." "Ready?" "Yes." "Bruce..." "Yuuki!" "Right." "Yuuki!" "You stupid bastard!" "Are you trying to get killed!" "?" "Sorry." "Yuuki, I know how you feel about Bruce." "But focus on the task at hand now." "Right." "I know it hurts right now..." "Captain Murase, what will happen to Captain Bulge?" "Galaxy Railways Headquarters isn't made up of fools." "Have some faith in what we've been defending." "This is hardest on him." "Bruce..." "I cannot see the fate of the Galaxy Railways." "It is only hidden." "It is certain to come into view again." "Where exactly are the Alfort Cluster Imperial Forces coming from?" "That is still unknown." "Forgive the intrusion." "I realize I am overstepping my authority, but I need to speak with you, Supreme Commander Layla Destiny." "Hey, you!" "What are you doing here?" "Special Intelligence has already submitted its report to the Supreme Commander." "This is no place for someone like you to be!" "Get lost!" "Sorry to bother you." "Hey!" "Buddy, you got my clothes wet." "That bastard...!" "Okay, that's the game." "What's the matter?" "It's your turn." "Bruce-san..." "Don't act so cocky, buddy!" "It means that we will be fighting to protect the entire universe." "The entire universe..." "Including these guys." "Bruce, I don't understand anymore..." "Just what is it that we've been protecting up to now?" "Answer me, Bruce." "Yuuki-kun..." "Louis..." "Receiving a message from the advance force." "Some of them have encountered elements of resistance, but they were successful in penetrating the galaxy in the other dimension." "General Foresis, the setup of the dimension opener is complete." "Activate it." "Roger." "The energy is stable." "No enemies detected on the other end." "How much time will it take for the dimension hole to be opened?" "I anticipate it will take 20 weeves." "That's too slow." "Have it done in 10 weeves." "But, that could be hazardous to the systems!" "That is an order." "The captain's coat..." "I believe in the captain." "I believe in him, too." "Well, see you later." "Good morning." "I brought you some snacks." "Hey, I owe you one." "Nah, don't worry about it." "Well, we're in your debt for all you did for Old Man Whitman." "This makes us even." "By the way, how is that other thing coming?" "That is going to be a little difficult." "Give us a little more time." "Things are becoming urgent." "Is the situation really that dangerous?" "Yes." "The board has reached its decision." "Schwanheld Bulge-kun, you are to be relieved of your command of Sirius Platoon, and stripped of your eligibility to be a member of the force." "What a waste..." "Hold on!" "What's going on!" "?" "Is it true!" "?" "The captain was dismissed!" "?" "Yeah." "Why?" "We received word from Captain Bulge a little while ago." "He said that everyone should do what they ought to do." "What we ought to do?" "Division mobilization orders!" "All platoons, please follow your instructions and mobilize!" "We've confirmed the location of the unidentified battleship that disappeared in Coulomb space!" "It has appeared somewhere above the Harloom track!" "Maximum alert level!" "Dispatch all platoons to the scene at once!" "What are you going to do, Manabu?" "I'm going." "Louis, be careful." "Louis-san, isn't that nice?" "What?" "Is there something going on?" "David, you be careful, too." "Bruce, I'm going to do what I need to now." "Magnetic barrier generator systems normal." "Energy normal." "Pressure within the boiler is rising." "Cylinder valves open." "Engage main circuits." "Engaged." "Systems all green!" "Iron Berger, move out!" "Once again, young people leave from the main terminal planet, to take back the fate that is no longer visible to us." "What lies on the other side of our farewells?" "Once the pain of parting is overcome, people find the light of hope." "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." "The Alfort forces possess an overwhelming power." "The lifelines of the universe are being torn apart." "What is it you're after?" "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 24: "The Galaxy Ablaze"" "We're going to encounter something at the next station."
