"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." "There once was a spirit that wandered through the darkness." "This spotless mind, which was plunged down into the depths of an implausible darkness... wept because of its purity... continually rejected the light because of its purity..." ""Shrieking in the Darkness, part I I"" "Incoming message from Spica Platoon." "All cars from No. 124 on the Altair Line have been lost, and there are no survivors." "Incoming message from Sirius Platoon." "All cars from No. 811 on the Regulus main line have been lost, and there are no survivors." "All units, you are authorized to warp to Addylos Junction." "Deliver a situation report upon your arrival." "Thank you for waiting." "Come on." "There's nothing better than ramen when you don't have an appetite." "I've never heard that." "You didn't know?" "And you, the son of a restauranteur!" "I humbly accept this meal." "Thank you very much." "This is good!" "Isn't it?" "It tastes kind of like my mom's." "That's terrific!" "Generally, whatever has happened can be undone, so don't be too depressed." "There are always jobs available as shop assistants." "If you want, you could go back to Tabito, couldn't you?" "I know." "You could go help out around your mom's place." "I've already said my goodbyes to her." "What exactly did you go and do at work?" "I didn't "go and do" anything." "I wasn't able to do anything." "There was nothing I could do..." "I didn't know what to do." "There's nothing we can do here." "How many people are there inside those flames?" "Louis, give a status report to Headquarters." "R- right..." "Galaxy Railways Headquarters, this is SDF Sirius Platoon." "We have arrived at Addylos Junction." "Here Is our situation report..." "Dammit, is this supposed to be some kind of game!" "?" "I never realized that you were a platoon member in the SDF." "Is it that surprising?" "Yeah, pretty much." "Everyone says I'm not cut out for it." "It's not so much that you aren't cut out for it, as it is that you can't keep up with it, am I right?" "Can't keep up?" "I don't know you that well, but I have a feeling that's what it is." "It's like you've still got the heart of a newborn." "I am just a kid, you know!" "Stop, would you?" "Right here is fine." "But you know..." "You know, I don't mind people like that." "Quit, I tell you!" "Being a watchdog for the Galaxy Railways doesn't suit you." "Catch you later." "Yuuki Manabu, huh...?" "...utterly unable to speculate as to the reason, as unrest spreads throughout the population." "These incidents appear to be serial terrorist attacks carried out by an organized criminal faction in space." "However, no one has yet claimed responsibility, nor have there been any warnings of future strikes." "The reasons for this reprehensible large-scale destruction and indiscriminate slaughter are as yet unknown." "The Galaxy Railways Headquarters has..." "Subatomic particle-dissolving bombs were first used by the Rommellan Liberation Army, who were in control of the Aldebaran front lines." "Those that use specially procured Feglinole, which rearranges elemental composition, have the most destructive force." "A bomb the size of a baby's fist has the power to blow away a heavy tank," "leaving no trace of it." "Disguised to look like medicine..." "Manabu..." "Manabu..." "Move forward, even if it hurts." "Who's there!" "?" "This is a news bulletin." "This morning, Rachel Aihara, a passenger bound for Greater Magellan on Galactic Express No. 323 and the first victim of a series of terrorist incidents, was successfully resuscitated." "Thanks to having the proper care given to her by the SDF's Sirius Platoon medical sexaroid, as well as the latest in resuscitation techniques, which are being independently developed at the medical center, the girl managed to escape death..." "Captain!" "She may have been saved, but I'm told she's all alone in the world." "Yuuki..." "Yes?" "Sometimes, we have to face the worst case scenarios." "That's something that nobody can do anything about." "Even so, we must do the best we can under the circumstances." "No matter what those circumstances are." "Even if your comrades are killed before your eyes... we have to endure our sorrows, and control our anger, or we cannot serve as SDF platoon members." "That's something I was taught by your father." "I never realized that you were a platoon member in the SDF." "It's not so much that you aren 't cut out for it, as it is that you can 't keep up with it, am I right?" "You 're not fit to be an SDF platoon member based only on dreams and infatuation." "If you think you can get by with that utopian attitude of yours, then leave the SDF right now." "It's like you 've still got the heart of a newborn." "But you know, I don 't mind people like that." "Captain!" "Remember where we are, Yuuki." "Sorry..." "Captain, please take me off suspension." "I don't think I'll change, but no matter what happens, I will not stand still." "Please let me return to duty, I beg you!" "Do as you will." "I told you to make up your mind for yourself." "Captain..." "Get back to your room and change right away." "Once all of the platoons' trains have been serviced, the SDF is moving out in force." "Don't be late, Yuuki!" "We're going to do everything we can to stop the next bombing." "Roger!" "System check!" "System check, standby." "Orbital communications radar reading normal." "Big One moving to launch position." "Everyone, I apologize for the inconvenience earlier..." "Manabu, hurry and sit down." "Manabu, look at your monitor." "Every train that has been affected was attacked within 20 hours of leaving Destiny." "Engage main circuits." "Engaged." "Systems all green!" "Big One, move out!" "If you're serious about making a fresh start, then get rid of that useless gun of yours." "I've been serious from the start." "I won't cause any more problems." "A large number of trains are now departing up through the sky from Galaxy Railways Headquarters." "Please be sure to pray for their safety." "Picking up the Fort Worth." "Range, 0.3 spacekilos." "Bring us alongside them." "Coming alongside..." "I have explained the hypothetical situation to the passengers." "There is no danger of panic." "Maintain speed and raise shields." "Connect the tube." "Move all passengers to Big One's rearward cars." "There's nothing on the outside!" "I don't see anything inside, either." "Yuuki.kun...?" "Say, Granny..." "What is it?" "Your son died in a Galaxy Railways-related accident, didn't he?" "That's right." "So why do you work with the Galaxy Railways here?" "That's a good question..." "Maybe it's because my son liked the Galaxy Railways so much." "Why are you asking all of a sudden?" "Oh, it's nothing, really." "I'll bet your mother must be tickled these days." "For having raised such a good boy, I mean." "What if you closed early today?" "It looks like the rain is just going to get worse." "Yeah, you're right." "I just remembered, Granny..." "I have a favor to ask of you." "Please show us your identification." "Halt!" "Aren't you done yet?" "There it is!" "It couldn't be...!" "Rigel Platoon has completed bomb disposal on No. 576." "No. 388, bound for Perseus, has just passed the Double Clusters." "Capella Platoon has begun following them." "Intruder within Headquarters!" "He appears to be armed!" "All SDF units mobilize!" "All personnel on alert status!" "Shaw.kun!" "Be careful, there's a terrorist here somewhere..." "That was nice work, Manabu." "To think that he had disguised himself as an ordinary tradesman..." "Hey, what is it?" "Captain, could I ask you to give the order to return?" "What are you talking about!" "?" "We've got to handle the next train!" "Explaln your reasons." "I know the vendor." "I don't even want to think that he is a tool of the terrorists, and yet..." "Not good enough!" "He..." "Shaw said this to me:" ""The SDF is the Galaxy Railways' lap dog."" "You mean, he has a beef with the SDF-- no, the whole Galaxy Railways?" "If that's the case, then he's really after..." "Galaxy Railways Headquarters?" "Captain..." "Let's head back!" "It could already be too late." "Louis, check the communication lines with Headquarters." "Right!" "What is it, Louis?" "All channels have been shut down!" "Contact all platoons!" "Have them coordinate bomb disposal duties!" "Sirius Platoon is heading home!" "Roger!" "Roger!" "Roger!" "This is Galaxy Railways Headquarters to all SDF units.." "As of now, service on all lines is being halted." "We are grateful for all the loyalty with which you have served us daily." "It is not necessary for you to return to Destiny, although this does not apply to those of you who would like to follow the Galaxy Railways to its demise." "That is all." "Thank you." "That was well done." "I'm the only one who needs to remain here, right?" "You appear to be under the wrong impression." "Anyone that wants to run away can leave." "So, this day has arrived..." "What is your objective?" "I just want to crush the Galaxy Railways!" "Young man..." "You have come here after all, have you?" "Who are you!" "?" "Act pretentious with me, will you!" "?" "Does that mean you're the big boss behind the Galaxy Railways!" "?" "Please!" "Please!" "Please!" "Please!" "Please let me on!" "Those who do not have a pass are not allowed to board." "If it's about the money, I'll pay you back sometime, so please...!" "Those are the rules." "Please!" "My mom is sick!" "I need to get to her doctor on Heavy Melder!" "Wait!" "Hold on!" "Let me on board!" "Please!" "Let me on!" "Who are you!" "?" "Shaw, please, don 't be here!" "Who are you, with those eyes that seem to see through everything!" "?" "Hold It!" "Shaw!" "Manabu...?" "There's just one of them?" "What, you returned to your post?" "I was sure you had quit." "Shaw, why are you doing this?" "I have lived my life for this day!" "You what...?" "Manabu, unless you'd rather die" "Why, you dirty bastard...!" "Stop!" "You stupid bastard!" "Out of the way, rookie!" "Yuuki.kun!" "Shaw..." "Shoot me some more!" "Hurry up and shoot me to death!" "Aim right here!" "As you wish...!" "Don't shoot!" "That's an old-model atomic battery!" "Hit that, and we'll all be blown away!" "He's deliberately using an antique like that!" "?" "The bomber himself is a bomb?" "Why would he go that far?" "Aren't you going to shoot me?" "If not, then..." "Aim for his head." "Shaw, stop!" "Yuuki.kun!" "..Manabu!" "..Yuuki!" "Get down!" "Shaw!" "Get your hands up!" "Manabu..." "Is he...!" "?" "Get your hands up, Shaw!" "Otherwise... otherwise, I'll.. have to..." "You foolish scumbag..." "Why, Shaw?" "After what you did for me...?" "Why, Manabu?" "Why do you protect the Galaxy Railways?" "..What?" "It was the Galaxy Railways that took the lives of your father and older brother, wasn't it?" "I wanted to save my sick mother." "I wanted her to live." "All the Galaxy Railways is are ironclad rules and train schedules timed out to the second." "Shaw..." "The Galaxy Railways is a monster that has lost its heart!" "We should push its reset button, Manabu!" "No..." "No!" "Whatever your reasons are, what you've done here is wrong!" "The Galaxy Railways is what carries people's joys and sorrows, their dreams and their lives!" "My father and brother died to protect that!" "That's why I want to protect it as well!" "I will defend the Galaxy Railways, even if it costs me my life!" "That is your just cause, even if it costs you your life, huh?" "In that case, you can die, together with the Galaxy Railways!" "Let me go!" "Manabu.chan..." "Granny..." "What's this?" "He said you'd understand when you opened it up." "He said he had one last case back in the storehouse, and to be mindful of the expiration date." "How am I supposed to drink all of this in three days?" "That spirit was unmistakably pure, once upon a time." "For those who love the Galaxy Railways and those who hate it... and everyone else, their journeys come together within the light..." "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." "A stubborn maintenance worker, Whitman..." "A last locomotive, the No. 825..." "On their home world, a searing steam whistle echoes out..." "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 8:" ""Afterglow"" "We 're going to encounter something at the next station."
