"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." "At some point, a person starts to walk on their own." "They break with the past, and embark on a journey, where they dream of unlimited futures and possibilities." "This is Heidel." "Advance payment transfer has been confirmed." "Things will be carried out according to schedule." "Tomorrow morning at 1000 hours, the VI P train Dignity No. 125 will be departing for Planet Farrader." "She will be carrying President Drake, of the Republic of the Clarious Cluster." "He's going there to campaign." "Each of the platoons takes turns handling VI P train duty, and it is Sirius Platoon's responsibility this time." "Yuuki!" "Yes sir!" "Louls!" "Yes sir!" "You two will handle this mission." "I'm sending you both." "Roger." "Following the president's arrival on Farrader, his guard will be taken over by Vega Platoon, which will be there patrolling the star system." "Um, Captain...?" "Hmm?" "What Is It?" "Is there any way I could have someone else go in my place?" "Is there some sort of problem?" "No, I just..." "This isn't like you." "What's the matter, Louis?" "Can't stand being with Yuuki?" "I beg your pardon." "I withdraw my request." "VI P train escort duty, tomorrow morning at 1000 hours, acknowledged." ""Ties"" "President, it's time." "All right, let them in." "Pardon us." "Yuuki Manabu, of the SDF, Space Defense Force Sirius Platoon." "Louis Fort Drake, likewise." "Until we reach Farrader, our mission will be to escort the president," "and oversee Dignity's-- ..Louis!" "Why didn't you contact us!" "?" "Do you know how worried we were?" "Stop that." "The young lady is on duty." "Honey, you don't have to take that tone...!" "I am terribly sorry." "So much for formal greetings." "To be frank," "I don't expect anything from you." "Your jurisdiction is, after all, limited to the space rails." "I won't actually be exposed to danger until after I get off the train." "You are quite right." "However..." "You see?" "These latest.model Cyborg SPs guard me full-time." "Naturally, they're with me when I travel from world to world like this, as well." "If, by some chance, something does happen," "I won't be needing to ask for your help." "Think of this as a vacation, and enjoy the trip." "Why didn't you say anything about your father being the president?" "Was there any need?" "Now that you mention it..." "If saying so would have gotten me out of this duty, I would have liked to..." "What's the story here?" "All he ever worries about is how he appears, and he interferes in everything." "He's a terrible father." "The school I went to..." "the friends I kept... and even who I would marry was arranged by him." "I couldn't stand having a father like that any more, and I ran away from home." "I even chose this job because I didn't want to follow the path that he had settled on for me." "That's sort of the opposite of you, huh Yuuki-kun?" "..Louis!" "..Mother!" "I'm so surprised to see you, Louis!" "I'm sorry, Mom." "Thank goodness you're looking well." "I'm so relieved." "But the SDF, of all things..." "Why would you choose such a dangerous job?" "It's okay." "Mom, you're the same as ever, huh?" "As you can see, Dignity here is the latest model, and the engine room is fully automated, so there are no problems." "Just what you'd expect of a VI P train." "And that VI P has his own Cyborg SPs, which means there's nothing for us to do." "I suppose not." "Well, let's both take it easy." "Louis, I think your father really was happy to see you." "Ridiculous." "The expression on his face never even changed." "It was like he wanted nothing to do with his disowned daughter." "You know, Louis, your father has a very important speech coming up..." "His speech will consist of reading the text that someone else has written for him, right?" "He hasn't changed at all." "Neither has his disdainful attitude, or the egotistical way he thinks that only he is right." "Louls..." "Come in." "Pardon me." "Here is the text for your speech on Farrader." "It's felt that this is as far as we should press things right now." "I hear that your daughter has become an SDF platoon member." "So it would seem." "Would you like to have lunch together?" "With my daughter?" "Yes, shall I invite her?" "I'd sooner have you invite a terrorist leader." "Listen, Louis, just talk to your father once more." "Where have you been?" "I went to the lead car to say hello to the conductor." "I'll go too." "Er, Yuuki-san, was it?" "Yes." "Yuuki Manabu." "Are you just one of Louis' co-workers?" "I mean, by any chance, are you seeing each other, or anything?" "Huh?" "H- hold on!" "What are you talking about, Mom!" "?" "The president!" "Get out of here, Chris!" "Right!" "Why are the Cyborg SPs...?" "President..." "Chris!" "Are you all right?" "..Yes..." "President!" "Louis!" "Honey, are you okay?" "I'm all right." "Thank goodness!" "What happened!" "?" "The Cyborg SPs attacked the president." "They're still moving." "Louis, the forward car!" "Roger!" "Hurry!" "Are you okay?" "Yuuki.kun!" "Louis, close the door and lock it!" "Louis, where's Yuuki-san!" "?" "Our mission is to protect the president." "Yuuki-kun, what are you planning to do?" "All right..." "Conductor, please lower the rail shields for 10 seconds." "Y- you're not serious!" "The rail shields?" "Just do it, quickly!" "Understood." "All right, bring the shields back!" "Right!" "We're okay now." "Thank goodness!" "Amazing, Yuuki-kun." "Slow to 80%." "Reduce speed and couple up." "Copy." "I can't believe this is happening..." "Yuuki.kun!" "Louls!" "Speed 170." "Decelerate briefly by 20%." "Louls!" "Louls!" "Your wife has taken a sedative, and is resting now." "Thank you." "Actually, about the text of your speech..." "I don't have another copy of it, so I will get started on it again now." "No, just keep this under your hat." "This gives me a good excuse." "It's all right." "I've got my text right here." "President..." "You must be tired." "Get some rest." "Okay." "You still take it without sugar, right?" "Yeah." "This is Yuuki aboard Dignity." "What happened?" "Maintain regular contact." "You probably already heard from Headquarters..." "No, we haven't heard anything." "That's odd." "The conductor should have contacted them." "What's going on out there, Yuuki?" "Right." "A little while ago, the president's" "Yuuki!" "What's wrong, Yuuki!" "?" "W- why, you...!" "Are you all right?" "Yuuki!" "Damn, I have to take care of this, fast." "System check!" "System check, standby." "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!" "I offer my gratitude for saving me." "Looks like you've been favored with a good friend." "It's not as though I don't understand the reasons why you took off into space, but why would you choose to work for the SDF?" "If you chose this path out of some haphazard desire to rebel against me, then you dishonor the Galaxy Railways and its passengers, the ones you are supposed to be protecting." "That's not so!" "Yuuki-san is asking for you." "He said he wanted you to come at once for some reason." "Okay, thank you." "I wonder what the matter is." "I'll be back soon." "Conductor, take care of things here." "As you wish." "Has something happened?" "No, there's no problem." "Please do not be alarmed." "In that case, all right." "Yuuki.kun could have come himself." "The conductor just now..." "It couldn't be...!" "Get down!" "Damn It!" "die!" "Dad!" "I'm okay." "Damn you!" "Too bad!" "How about I blast a hole through that delicate little body of yours!" "?" "President Drake, there are those who will not be served by the new policies you're going to announce." "If I fail, they're planning to blow the whole train up!" "It's no use trying to shield him, young lady." "I won't let you kill the president!" "I admire your sense of duty, but" "It's the SDF!" "You're through!" "Shut up!" "I've got to go through with this!" "Run!" "Louls!" "If I can just kill the president..." "Even if you did, you'd be arrested!" "And so will the mastermind behind this!" "Damn It!" "Dignity, come in!" "Is the president okay?" "This is the SDF, Vega Platoon!" "Dignity!" "The president!" "It's no use, they're not responding." "Don't let that ship get away!" "Dignity is all right, but I can't tell what the situation is inside her." "All right, come alongside." "We'll link up and board her." "You should give up now." "Be quiet!" "Louls!" "Damn It!" "That's far enough, Conductor." "Whoa!" "Would you mind holding up?" "Walking out on the job, Conductor?" "Captain!" "Is the president okay?" "I'm all right." "President!" "It's just a scratch." "I'm terribly sorry!" "Don't worry about it." "Thanks." "It's all right now." "My foolish daughter..." "War is something that brings pain to many people, and gives rise to nothing but sadness and hatred." "Today, I hereby make this declaration:" "The Republic of the Clarious Cluster will prohibit itself from using force as a means of foreign policy." "What's he talking about?" "Damn..." "Those who resort to using an unreasonable amount of force will not be tolerated." "Further, the use of force to control others against their will" "Is that much more unpardonable." "I promise the withdrawal from Ludaile, which has been a long-pending problem, as well as a reduction in the military budget, and a reduction or a removal of military facilities from 16 of the Republic's 19 worlds." "I would like to take the first steps toward establishing real justice together." "Dad..." "You're your father's daughter, all right." "I don't know what difficulties you have between you, but what your father is trying to do goes along with the job that you and I do." "You said that you and I were opposites, but we could be more alike than you'd expect, huh?" "Yuuki.kun..." "At some point, a person starts to walk on their own." "They break with the past, and embark on a journey, where they dream of unlimited futures and possibilities." "However, those who have been watched over must not forget the ones who allowed them to do so, or that the love they have been given up until today will continue to be there." "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." "Wait!" "Our data is still" "Sorry, but I'm going to do this my way!" "Next time on Tales of the Galaxy Railways, Episode 15:" ""Common Front"" "We 're going to encounter something at the next station."
