"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." "Coulomb City." "Famous throughout the universe as a lawless district." "No one will even go near this city." "People call it the Forsaken Labyrinth." ""Rebellion"" "Why is this?" "I cannot see the flow of time... of fate..." "We've detected a faint signal coming from Planet Coulomb." "It's an SOS coming in on an SDF signal." "But there aren't any SDF trains deployed to or passing near the area in question." "Dispatch Sirius Platoon, and order them to identify it." "System check." "System check, standby." "Particle warpspeed generators reading normal." "Orbital communications radar reading normal." "Big One moving to launch position." "Ascent Float lock confirmed." "Gravitational barrier generator systems normal." "Energy normal." "Pressure within the boiler is rising." "Cylinder valves open." "Engage main circuits." "Engaged." "Systems all green!" "Big One, move out!" "Director Ivanov from Special Intelligence will be accompanying us on this mission." "Eh?" "Why would Special Intelligence be involved?" "You don't need to know that." "Listen up." "This is not a request for your cooperation." "It is an order." "I've identified the SDF signal." "It is definitely an SOS." "It is being sent from the southern part of Coulomb City." "All right, Big One will" "Set us down someplace where we won't draw attention." "Didn't you hear me?" "Landing Big One in the southern part of Coulomb City." "What the hell is it with that guy!" "?" "You've got to be kidding me!" "Why is he ignoring Captain Bulge and giving us orders directly!" "?" "Louls..." "What?" "He can hear every word." "Our transmitters are turned off, you know!" "Don't scare me like that!" "I understand how you'd want to complain about it." "He's definitely an unlikable bastard." "But don't get too preoccupied with your own feelings and let your attention wander." "We're on duty right now." "Oh, sorry." "Don't let it bother you." "We all feel the same way about that scumbag." "However..." "If Special Intelligence is involved, then something is up." "Shall we bet on it?" "I'll pass." "This is the place, no doubt about it." "Is anyone there!" "?" "This is the SDF, Sirius Platoon!" "We're here to help!" "SDF..." "It's one of those!" "Sirius..." "Pla...toon..." "Captain Bulge..." "Understood." "So it's one of those plant life forms after all, huh?" "Search for any explosives at once!" "They'll be the size of your fist, and will be shaped like the seed of a plant." "Those?" "She does not have anything." "Once they know they can't get away, they have won't have any qualms." "They've taken many of my men with them." "You've had contact with them before?" "You two kids stand guard outside!" "There's a chance there are more of them." "And you other two, if she makes any suspicious moves, show her no mercy." "However, make sure you don't kill her." "We can't get any information out of a corpse." "No explanations, just orders, huh?" "Are you all right?" "Please help!" "I need your assistance!" "Bring her in." "We'll hear what she has to say at Special Intelligence." "Please listen to me!" "I am Leafle." "I come from Istarion, the 42nd planet in the Alfort Galaxy." "Silence!" "Hey now, if you're going to lie to us, make up something a little bit more credible." "We've never even heard of that galaxy or planet." "It isn't in this universe." "This is my home." "Istarion." "I come from a universe that exists in a different dimension than this one." "Like this universe, mine is a beautiful one." "Istarion was one of the more scientifically developed planets." "Leafle, look over there." "What?" "Sister, what are those?" "If we technicians did not cooperate, they were going to destroy the whole planet and all the people on it." "That's what the imperial forces told us." "We couldn't put up any resistance in the face of their overwhelming military strength." "At this very moment, my comrades are being made to make weapons for them." "To protect their families, and the ones they love as they swallow their anger..." "They are now about to turn those weapons on you." "Your universe is faced with the same crisis that my planet is in." "Please fight alongside us!" "If we don't fight now, the Alfort Cluster Empire's forces will also overrun this universe in no time!" "We unfortunately do not have the means to stop them directly..." "However..." "With this Cosmo Matrix that I have developed, you will be able to strengthen your own armaments." "That is a well put-together story." "But that's enough." "You're trying to trick us into trusting you, pretending to give us information on the enemy, while passing along information about us." "I can see right through you." "That isn't so!" "I am.." "Would you let me see that for a minute?" "Captain Bulge, it definitely appears to be some kind of chip, but we won't know what it contains unless we analyze it." "I'm heading back there to" "Is Sirius Platoon a bunch of idiots!" "?" "Analyze it, you say?" "Don't you think it's possible that they could infiltrate the SDF's main computer via Big One 's computer?" "But if we don't we'll never know if what she is saying is true or not, will we?" "You don't need to know." "Special Intelligence will make the decision." "We don't have very much time!" "Before long, a large-scale dimension hole will open." "Our two universes will be connected, and the imperial forces will begin their invasion." "Once that happens..." "We don't intend to be taken in by your false information." "Director Ivanov, I wonder if you should be making up your mind from the start that what she is saying is false." "And who is it that has made up their mind from the start to believe her?" "I'm just saying...!" "I'm not lying to you." "Please believe me!" "It's all true!" "I did not see any artificial modifications to the images we saw earlier." "I do not think it has been tampered with." "So...?" "Why won't you believe me?" "There are so many lives at stake!" "Look out!" "It's the enemy!" "Return fire!" "Manabu!" "Her pals here are after her life." "Is what she said true?" "There are two ways to think about it." "One is that she is a traitor, and she is being pursued!" "And the other one?" "They're pretending to chase her, to gain our trust." "There's no end to them!" "Davld!" "Take the next corner and stop!" "Copy!" "I'll buy some time." "You guys go on ahead back to Big One and get ready to launch." "Hurry!" "Care to make a bet on a new record for shortest emergency launch time?" "I'm staying here, too." "Thanks anyway." "Manabu, you go with David." "Yuuki-kun, hurry!" "Yuuki...?" "Go!" "Mother!" "Yuuki!" "Leafle!" "Leafle..." "Thank goodness... you weren't hurt..." "Status!" "There are a large number of enemies, and they are armed." "Bruce is engaging them at 9 o'clock." "Activating Big One's emergency launch system!" "Bruce!" "Get back here!" "Bruce!" "The coordinates for the dimension hole..." "are in the Matrix." "Try to get a little rest." "Don't overexert yourself." "Yuuki..." "I need to tell you" "Damn." "They're still chasing us, huh?" "Yuki, take care of Leafle!" "Prepare to intercept!" "Enemy fighters are turning around and withdrawing." "What's going on?" "Direct hit to the hangar car!" "Is that...!" "?" "Those are the same as back then...!" "Damn it!" "Trifle with us, will you!" "?" "The main guns had no effect on it!" "Concentrate fire on one point!" "Continuous fire from the main guns!" "All shots on target!" "No use!" "There's no damage to the enemy ship!" "With this Cosmo Matrix, you will be able to strengthen your own armaments." "Captain, let's use the Cosmo Matrix!" "That's the only way we can oppose them!" "Such incompetence..." "That woman and this attack are all part of a plot." "It's an enemy strategy to get us to trust them, and then use that suspicious device." "If you can't understand that..." "Are you still saying that!" "?" "She is not our enemy!" "Hmph!" "ridiculous." "The number.two attack car has been hit!" "What is the range to a warp-capable zone!" "?" "Another 0.5 spacekilos!" "Big One's structural damage is at 65%." "Captain Bulge, your authorization!" "Very well!" "What kind of idiocy is this!" "?" "You forget your place--!" "Sirius Platoon is my unit." "I will accept responsibility." "Yuuki.san..." "Leafle-san, don't overexert yourself." "Please... take me..." "Damn it!" "What's going on!" "?" "I... will do it..." "Leafle!" "You fools!" "How can you intentionally let the enemy into the command room!" "?" "Get her out of here!" "Do you intend to disobey my order?" "I'm reporting everything." "I authorized none of this!" "You did this on your own" "That's it..." "Cosmo Matrix recognition complete!" "Pressure within the boiler is climbing sharply!" "Engine speed increasing!" "Entering the red zone!" "Release the pressure!" "Rotate the train 90 degrees!" "Train all gunports at the enemy ship!" "Rotating the train 90 degrees!" "Training all gunports on the enemy ship!" "Fire main guns!" "We did it, Leafle!" "Leafle...?" "Yuuki.san!" "Stay with me, Leafle!" "It's so warm..." "Mom..." "Sis...ter..." "Leafle!" "Output is dropping!" "I can't stop it!" "Weapons systems down!" "Main energy circuits have been fried!" "Incoming!" "Output has dropped to 30%!" "How far to a warp-capable zone?" "At present speed, another 40 seconds!" "Route all energy to the armor systems!" "Roger!" "Roger!" "20 seconds to warp-capable zone!" "Warp as soon as we enter the warp-capable zone!" "Incoming!" "Ten seconds!" "It's no use!" "I can't lock spatial coordinates!" "No matter!" "Do It!" "That's crazy!" "Without setting coordinates, there's no telling where we'll come out--!" "There's no time to debate!" "Louls!" "Emergency warp!" "I can 't see anything..." "There isn 't anything I can do..." "Even so, we must do what we have to do." "The darkness... all the light is disappearing..." "No." "Shura, the light is not going to disappear." "Fate has left its established rails and jumped the tracks." "Nobody knows where it is headed or where the future will stray away to." "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"" "There isn 't enough blood." "The same goes for medicine and instruments." "At this rate, Louis-san is going to..." "Hold on!" "I'll save her, no matter what!" "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 22: "Ephemeral Winds"" "We 're going to encounter something at the next station."
