"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." "Louls-san!" "Louls-san!" "Louls!" "Do we still have any reserve power?" "Half of our cars are down." "Main engine output is also dropping." "Keep us up and running!" "Do whatever it takes to prevent us from crashing!" "Yuuki, scan the planet's topography." "Find us a place where we can make a forced landing." "Right!" "Captain!" "Systems are down!" "What!" "?" "Hey, do something, fast!" "We're almost to the troposphere." "Use all of our reserve power to keep our frame level." "Roger!" "Yuki, use this." "Adjusting reentry angle plus six degrees..." "Everyone, brace for impact!" ""Ephemeral Winds"" "Forced landing successful..." "Let's get Louis-san to the medical car at once!" "Louls!" "Manabu!" "Leave her alone." "Hey!" "You hurry and analyze that chip." "Figure out where that dimension hole is going to appear." "You guys hurry and get the communications and radar systems repaired." "Contact Headquarters once they are restored, and request a rescue." "Do you intend to stand by and watch a wounded person die!" "?" "Consider the situation." "We can't help but make some small sacrifices" "In order to fulfill our mission." "Small sacrifices, you say?" "With that injury and all the blood she has lost, there's no way she will survive." "Dying at her post will get her a two-grade promotion." "What are you doing!" "?" "Obey your orders at once!" "You bastard...!" "I can't take it anymore!" "Have you lost your mind!" "?" "What are you doing!" "?" "My orders are absolute!" "Even if I have to kill anyone who goes against" "Bruce, Yuuki, hurry and carry Louis out of here." "Yuki, do everything you can for her." "Roger." "Roger." "Roger." "Bulge, why, you...!" "I will take responsibility." "Director, please move your foot." "What?" "I will not allow her bravery and death to be for nothing." "And I will do everything I can..." "to protect the lives of my crew." "Once we have fallen into the worst case scenario it is only the commander that should have to give his life." "Anyone who is not prepared to do that is..." "That's right..." "Once upon a time, your superior officer launched a suicide attack against an unidentified enemy, didn't he?" "Those that stand above the others should be the ones who survive." "Yuuki Wataru, wasn't it?" "Mercy sakes, that was one foolish man.." "Vega Platoon, Rigel Platoon, and Acrux Platoon have launched with Class 1 equipment." "They have cleared the atmosphere." "Two minutes to warp-in for Planet Coulomb." "What about Big One's transponder signal?" "Still nowhere to be found." "Open up all connections and continue to hail them." "Have Spica Platoon standing by, ready to launch at any time." "Roger!" "Something is approaching..." "No." "It has always been right there next to us." "And yet, I can't see it." "I don't know what it is." "She's going to need surgery within the next two hours." "There isn't enough blood for transfusion." "The special suture apparatus, and the hemostat ampules were also lost in the battle earlier." "Let's take her to a hospital." "It won't be possible to take her by land through this undeveloped area." "Louis-san 's body won't be able to withstand it." "Well, in any case, we can donate some blood." "I'm type A-3." "What about Louis?" "There isn't anyone in Sirius Platoon who is a match for Louis.san." "Um, Bruce-san...!" "Manabu, let's go." "Right." "Yuki, we've got two hours, right?" "B. Bruce.san!" "Please wait a moment!" "Everything's fine." "Louis, don't you die." "You'd better get yourself ready for this." "You can't mean.." "Louis will definitely pull through!" "Not that..." "This doesn't just go as far as Louis." "If what she said is true, then this is going to be the biggest task the SDF has had since it started." "Defending the Galaxy Railways against invaders from another dimension..." "It means that we will be fighting to protect the entire universe." "The whole... universe..." "That's right." "Including these guys." "Stop!" "Let me go!" "No!" "Help!" "Let me go!" "Stop!" "No!" "Help!" "Don't leave!" "Of all times...!" "Manabu!" "Right!" "Wait!" "You're SDF!" "?" "You guys are out of your jurisdiction!" "If you've got more youth than you can handle, come join the SDF." "We'll welcome you." "Thank you for saving me!" "Hitchhiking is fine and all, but be more choosy about which car you get in." "Right..." "Good grief, it's because of idiots like you..." "What do you mean, idiot!" "?" "That's no attitude to cop after we saved you, is it?" "Let it go." "We're in a hurry." "Bruce..." "Hey, you, aren't you going a little too fast?" "There's somebody's life at stake." "That is the last one." "Louis, I'm sorry." "Yuuki... -kun..." "Captain, as far as analyzing the Cosmo Matrix goes, we won't be able to manage it unless we get it back to Headquarters and leave it to the appropriate division." "Big One's equipment just isn't up to it." "I see." "All right..." "The Sutherland star system, huh?" "We sure did come a long way." "...please come in!" "This is Galaxy Railways Headquarters!" "Sirius Platoon, can you hear me?" "Please come in!" "This is SDF Sirius Platoon, Big One." "You're five by five." "You're all right!" "Yeah." "We made a forced landing on Sutherland's fourth planet." "We'll send assistance right away." "Please do." "One more thing-- suspend all service to the lines near Coulomb." "There's still one battleship there." "Their weapons are" "Vega, Rigel, and Acrux Platoons are currently headed there with Class 1 equipment." "Don't let them go there!" "Call them back!" "All hands, battle stations!" "If they try anything, we're taking them on!" "Roger!" "Commence attack!" "I've lost contact with Acrux Platoon!" "You bastards!" "Murase, pull out of there!" "Is that you, Bulge!" "?" "We can't beat them with the weapons we have now!" "My old platoon has been wiped out!" "I can't just tuck tail and leave!" "You've got to bear with it!" "If you withdraw, we'll have a chance of beating them!" "Right now, just shut up and get out of there!" "Murase!" "Don't you die, too!" "The enemy ship is disappearing!" "What!" "?" "What's going on...?" "This is the last one." "Right." "Hold on, you're...!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Hey, stop that!" "You're injured, aren't you!" "?" "Bruce, don't tell me..." "Getting hit by a ricochet is so embarrassing, how could I say anything?" "And so, to let Yuki concentrate on treating Louis..." "My wound was not as severe as hers." "That's all." "With something this minor, I can keep going until tomorrow morning." "What are you talking about!" "?" "Don't start blubbering." "You won't be able to keep it together for what's ahead like this." "Don't be an ass!" "You stay here!" "I'd really like to thank you." "Not at all!" "You have wonderful skill." "I didn't even need to come." "You can't mean that." "Go stay next to Louis." "Right." "I hear she got through the procedure safely." "Then Louis is going to live, right?" "Thank goodness." "For crying out loud, I've never seen such an idiotic man before." "Idiotic?" "What do you mean, idiotic?" "You've been hurt a lot, huh?" "Surprised?" "A little." "Ever since I was a kid, I've been acting like a mercenary... to keep myself alive." "All I've ever held in this hand is my gun and this." "By any chance, is that a memento of someone?" "That must be your precious good-luck charm, huh?" "Nothing like that." "Now listen, you've got to get three days' rest." "I'll contact the SDF people for you." "Not bad." "It looks good on you, in its own way." "I just got assigned here today." "You're my first patient." "Coupling with Big One complete." "Prepare to launch." "Just a minute!" "But I heard from that cute nurse.chan that you would be in the hospital for a week." "No way I'm doing that." "This is just a scratch." "I'm coming back now." "Wait for me." "Painkillers and antibiotics." "Make sure you take them." "Thanks for looking after me." "Now we're even." "Next time, let me hear you play your harmonica." "It will cost you." "I can pay you with my body." "That won't even get you a single measure." "What does that mean!" "?" "You guessed right." "No matter how hard I prayed, this thing was never able to protect a single one of my friends." "For the first time, one of my prayers got through." "That's right." "Bye now." "I'll see you again, right, Bruce?" "If you're a good girl." "Geez, he's treating me like a child!" "Captain..." "Yuki..." "Davld..." "Louls..." "Manabu..." "I don't want... to die...!" "Thank you, Yuuki-kun." "What are you talking about?" "We're friends, right?" "Mm.hmm." "No... we're more than friends..." "I think of you all as family now." "I'm really glad I was assigned to Sirius Platoon." "So am I." "But don't tell Bruce." "Why?" "He'll probably yell at me again for being too needy." "The man they called the Grim Reaper..." "Now, his destiny has reached its end." "No one to see him off..." "no farewell flowers..." "The only thing there for him was the blowing of ephemeral winds." "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." ""Next Time"" "Bulge-kun, your crime in disobeying orders is a serious one." "Everything is being taken out of your hands." "But, I...!" "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 23: "Harsh Verdict"" "We 're going to encounter something at the next station."
