"It is now 23:40 Greenwich Mean Time." "One world is about to end, and a new one is about to be born." "The Earth Federation government is about to host a ceremony at the Prime Minister´s residence, "Laplace", to usher in the birth of the new calendar era." "Mankind has set foot into a new era, in which we shall build for ourselves worlds to live in, beyond Mother Earth." "Tonight, we shall become witnesses to history." "Let us come together in this joyous moment and give thanks to the past, the Anno Domini era." "Also, let us welcome in the dawn of the Universal Century with smiling faces." "Goodbye, Anno Domini." "Hello, Universal Century!" "Greetings, citizens of Earth and space." "I am the Prime Minister of the Earth Federation, Ricardo Marcenas." "In a few moments, the Anno Domini era will come to an end." "...Presidents and Prime Ministers spoke only to the citizens of their respective countries." "These countries were composed of citizenries and territories, designed in the solitary interest of protecting their own security." "Yet, as we´ve now realized humanity´s long-awaited dream of a unified world government, we can look back on the antiquated nation-state system and see the problems that came with it." "Just as no man is an island unto himself, a nation is incapable of functioning in a solitary vacuum." "In regards to the threats to the planet as a whole, the nations of old were incapable of offering effective solutions." "Rhetoric and sitting idly by are no longer options." "We must..." "How is it?" "We´ll go ahead as planned." "This might cause more chaos than we´ve ever known." "It´s almost been one hundred years since then." "As it stands, the Earth Sphere is approaching a dead end." "Those who will correct the flaws of the Universal Century are beginning to emerge." "I pray the one who can be entrusted to carry Laplace´s Box is among them." "Yes, sir." "Cardeas..." "Do you forgive me?" "This may lead to the end of a world." "Who could forgive you besides me?" "Disperse Minovsky Particles at combat density, now!" "Enemy ship, appears to be Clop class..." "Thermal energy detected!" "Evasive maneuvers!" "What´s taking so long with the bulkheads?" "!" "Intense heat sources emitted from enemy ship." "Appears to be two mobile suits..." "No, three!" "Approaching at high speed!" "Send Marida out." "Ignore the mothership." "The Garencieres can shake it off." "Roger that." "Target acquired." "There´s a high-speed Jegan." "Possibly a special forces version." "That means this isn´t a chance encounter." "Ten minutes to the debris cluster." "Wrap things up and get back here." "Roger that, Master." "Stop calling me that." "Marida Cruz." "Launching in Kshatriya!" "I won´t let you follow our ship." "Funnels!" "Damn Sleeves!" "Mission complete." "Returning to ship." "Thus, it was the Battle of A Baoa Qu which brought an end to the One Year War, started by the Principality of Zeon in the name of independence for the space emigrants." "At the end of the war, over half of humanity was dead." "This happened seventeen years ago, the year before you all were born." "Even after the war, groups claiming to be the remnants of Zeon started wars of their own." "They claim to desire autonomy for the Spacenoids, but at their heart you will still find the same ideas of the inherent superiority of the chosen elite found in the philosophy of Gihren Zabi." "The concept of Zeonism proposed by Zeon Deikun, the so-called" ""Newtype" ideology, was a dangerous belief that ultimately produced rebellious elements such as these." "You there!" "Don´t blow off studying history because you think it won´t help get you a job!" "Anaheim won´t even hire you for a factory worker position, if you´re not capable of passing senior high." "Don´t believe everything you hear about that 100% job placement rate" "Mr. Bancroft, it´s the shuttle again..." "It´s seriously time to upgrade our shuttles." "The chairman´s just stingy." "He thinks that the decommissioned Anaheim ones are fine." "So we´re staying here tonight?" "I didn´t bring a change of clothes." "Neither did I." "Which means we won´t get to go on the field trip to see the Snail tomorrow." "What?" "!" "I don´t want to spend two days here listening to Bancroft´s "special" lectures!" "I could teach all the way to Char´s Rebellion in two minutes." "Right, Banagher?" "Wow, look at that!" "It´s a Zaku!" "Damn it, Bancroft." "Why didn´t you tell us there was something this cool here?" "What´s that?" "Is it something cool?" "It´s the granddaddy of all mobile suits!" "Oh...?" "Hey, wait up." "Let´s check it out." "Don´t care." "The wars ended a long time ago." "We don´t need those things anymore." "I´m pretty sure you aren´t allowed to take pictures." "You guys have no sense of adventure, seriously." "Say, Banagher, you know sometimes you look like you´re staring out into the distance." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "You just did it back there." "I´m not really looking at anything in particular when I do that..." "Huh?" "I think I´m just wondering where..." "Where your father is?" "No, where I am." "Oh, sorry." "Like whatever I´m doing..." "I´m not really there, you know?" "I have the same feeling." "Like something´s just off, right?" "Yeah..." "I wonder if it´s gonna keep getting stronger and stronger." "I think the only ones who don´t feel it are the few who get to live their lives how they want to." "Hey, are you listening to me?" "A mobile suit..." "Keep the speed going." "Y-Yes, sir." "Fly like you´re going straight into that debris field." "Keep going." "Sir!" "Breakdown 0-6-0." "Impressive." "Th-Thank you." "I´m talking about the machine." "Yes, sir." "At ease." "We´re going back, Gael." "I´m sorry, sir." "What´s wrong?" "It appears there were still people at the Anaheim Electronics Industrial College training facility." "I thought we checked the class schedule..." "It seems the transit shuttle broke down." "I see..." "Well, even if someone noticed it, it couldn´t have been more than a momentary glimpse." "I was able to get hold of a staff officer on Luna II." "It´s true, a Londo Bell ship ran into some Sleeves." "So there was a leak..." "Was there a battle?" "Yes." "Not only did they lose three mobile suits, but they let them get away." "Anything else?" "I tried Londenion, but their commander is a very tight-lipped person." "Bright Noa, is it?" "Try the supply fleets, then." "You´ll be able to figure out how the fleet itself is moving." "Certainly." "Everyone, listen up." "All operational testing of the RX-0 is now finished." "We are to immediately delete the testing OS." "Seal the NT-D, and boot up the La+ Program." ""Forgive", huh?" "Roger that." "Entering gate #5." "What is this "Laplace´s Box" thing?" "If they really have it, we´ll bring it back home." "If it´s a trap, we´ll fight our way out." "Man, this weightlessness is getting to me." "Lemme skip the Snail field trip." "It´s ´cause you were partying all night." "I just don´t find looking at the Construction Unit all that interesting." "But guys, it´s not often people get to see the inside of that thing." "Banagher!" "Don´t ask, Micott." "Banagher, bathroom?" "I´m going back ahead of you guys!" "That looks bad over there." "I can´t die..." "Hey!" "What´re you doing?" "!" "I´m borrowing this." "Like hell you are!" "Hey, wait!" "Hey!" "Ah!" "Hey!" "It´s not like being in a vacuum." "Found you, but it´s almost daybreak..." "This is bad." "I´m not yet..." "Danger." "Danger." "I´ll get us through this." "Clench your teeth!" "Danger." "Danger." "Banagher, wake up." "Ow-ow-ow..." "Who are you?" "!" "What do you think you´re doing?" "!" "Banagher, are you OK?" "Banagher?" "Are you from this colony?" "I´m in a hurry." "Can you give me a lift to the Colony Builder´s entrance?" "To the Snail?" "Will this thing still work?" "It´s out of gas." "The battery´s dead too." "I´m running out of time!" "Please!" "There´s someone I absolutely must speak with." "If we don´t hurry, something will happen that can never be undone." "But we can still prevent it if we act fast." "So please..." "Prevent it?" "Prevent what?" "War." "Hold on!" "You can´t do this alone." "Who do you need to see?" "The Snail..." "That´s what everyone calls the Colony Builder, but it´s nothing more than a factory there." "I heard a rumor that there´s a Vist Foundation mansion at the end of it, though." "You know them?" "No, I´ve never been there, but one of their higher-ups is the chairman of my school." "This is an announcement for all passengers." "The authorities have just issued a security alert." "This train will be stopping temporarily at this station." "We will resume once everyone´s safety has been confirmed." "Your patience is appreciated." " Seriously?" "Again?" "We will resume once everyone´s safety has been confirmed." "Your patience is appreciated." " Everyone´s been nervous lately." "We will resume once everyone´s safety has been confirmed." "Your patience is appreciated." "Let´s get off here." "We can´t, Marco!" "Let´s get off the train." "You think she was in that Petit MS?" "Probably." "Given the fact she´s disappeared." "We´re in real trouble if the Federation saw her." "But we´ll have to see how the Foundation acts to determine that." "My apologies, sir." "I should have noticed her stowing away..." "You have no reason to apologize." "As captain of this ship, I take full responsibility." "I can wager a guess as to where she´s going." "Go on ahead of her and bring her back before she makes contact with Cardeas Vist." "And try to stay under the radar." "That´s a Construction Unit?" "Yeah, it´s a factory unit that builds foundation blocks for the colony." "This colony´s still under construction." "Eat up, you must be starving." "This´ll save time." "You expect me to eat while walking...?" "They´re about to begin a factory tour." "Let´s mingle in with them." "We´ll figure out the rest once we´re in there." "Marida...?" "Let´s go back." "You need to consider your position" "It´s because of my position that I´ve come here." "Please stop this futility." "We can´t handle Laplace´s Box right now." "Whatever it is, it will simply be used by Full Frontal to start a useless war." "You understand, right?" "I don´t understand." "I´m just following orders." "Lies." "You weren´t given your power for this..." "I´m sorry." "Danger!" "Danger!" "Give me your hand." "Hurry!" "Huh?" "Why...?" "My name..." "Huh?" "I apologize." "I never told you my name." "It´s..." "Banagher." "Huh?" "It called out your name before." "Go, Banagher." "Banagher." "That´s right." "Banagher Links." "I´m..." "Audrey." "Audrey Burne." "Audrey?" "This here is Haro." "Have you heard of it?" "It´s a replica of a robot mascot built by an ace pilot back during the war." "It was all the rage when we were kids." "Well, I lived out in the boonies, so..." "The boonies...?" "Or rather..." "I guess I came into this life as a vagabond." "Then, you´re just like me." "Huh?" "Wow!" "Would you look at those rails!" "No way!" "That´s so high up!" "Man!" "That framework is something else." "Come take a look at this, Micott." "It´s incredible." "Banagher never made it, huh?" "Yeah..." "That Petit MS that supposedly crashed on our school campus..." "Maybe it was him, after all..." "It didn´t crash, it was a forced landing." "I don´t know why he did it, but you shouldn´t go spreading rumors." "Huh?" "He´s going to be out on the street if he gets kicked out of school." "He´s got no home to return to." "Banagher?" "!" "Who´s that girl?" "Those people after you..." "What´s their story?" "They´re my comrades." "They´re after me because I ran away." "Are you a political activist or something?" "You know, those anti-Federation..." "The ones seeking independence for the Spacenoids or whatever." "Yeah." "Only scarier than them." "You did say you wanted to prevent a war, right?" "You..." "The colony´s walls are growing as more and more foundation blocks are added." "It´s incredible..." "The world is expanding." "Sir, the surveillance camera on lift #2 just spotted something." "What´s she doing there?" "I don´t know, sir." "We were told that, early this morning, someone snuck into the service route to the artificial sun, but I never expected..." "Have you heard from the Sleeves?" "No." "So she´s acting on her own?" "Her presence may interfere with the Box´s delivery." "I still think that you, the head of the Vist Foundation, meeting with the Sleeves in person isn´t..." "And... this boy here?" "Yes, sir." "He was with her." "He looks a bit young for a bodyguard..." "That´s it." "I can´t believe there´s really a mansion here." "Maybe no one´s here..." "Banagher?" "Excuse us, is anyone home?" "Banagher, you can´t just" "A unicorn..." ""To my only desire..."" "You can read that?" "What the heck?" "I know this." "I´ve seen that image before." "I see you´re curious about that." ""The Lady and the Unicorn"." "It´s a tapestry believed to have been created in France before the middle era." "And it´s not a replica." "My predecessor went through a great deal of trouble to obtain it, prior to the One Year War." "I´m the head of the family, Cardeas Vist." "I apologize for coming into your home without permission." "I´m..." "I´m aware of who you are." "Do yourself a favor and don´t mention your name." "I won´t give my name, then." "As long as you understand my position, that´s sufficient." "I´ve come here to ask you to rethink what you´re doing." "I´m referring to your plan to give Laplace´s Box to us." "You´d best go home." "It´s dangerous." "I shouldn´t be talking to you under these circumstances." "Zinnerman is a rational man." "He wouldn´t cause any unnecessary trouble." "Would protecting you be considered unnecessary?" "Why are you doing this?" "I´ve heard that Laplace´s Box has guaranteed the prosperity of the Vist Foundation for decades." "Why are you giving it to us?" "Excuse me." "I believe I asked you to leave." "There are people after her." "I can´t leave her alone." "Do you know who they are, or why they´re after her?" "I don´t." "But they´re scary people." "Scary?" "That´s how they feel to me." "That´s something a Newtype would say." "That´s what she said." "You´re putting your future at risk by staying here." "It´s not what your father intended when he sent you to Anaheim Electronics Industrial College." "How do you...?" "I´m the chairman, after all." "As such, I can find out who my students are and I even have the authority to expel the bad apples." "Go back, Banagher." "Thank you for bringing me here." "I can handle the rest." "I can help you, Audrey." "You came here to prevent a war, didn´t you?" "Doesn´t he have the power to do that?" "Hearing you talk about war just feels different from when my professors talk about it." "It feels more grave..." "I understand how frightening it will be, so..." "So please..." "Banagher..." "My heart was pounding when I saw you fall from the sky this morning." "Everything that felt off in my life just slid into place, and for the first time, I saw where I needed to be." "I don´t care who you are!" "Just tell me you need me!" "If you do that, I´ll..." "I don´t need you." "The best thing you can do is forget you ever met me." "It was the right decision." "I´ve changed the designated location of my transaction with your comrades." "I´ll reunite you with them when the time seems right." "I plead with you to change your mind..." "I understand your concern over the situation." "I´m aware that they´re calling Full Frontal the second coming of Char." "So then..." "But, even if given the key, someone without the appropriate talents will be unable to open Laplace´s Box." "The key to the..." "Box?" "We´ve done something to it that ensures this." "It´s no easy horse to break." "That´s enough." "Go back to the ship." "We received a message from the Foundation." "They want to move the transaction site from the Central Port to the Colony Builder." "What about her?" "They´re feigning ignorance." "I can´t tell what they´re up to, but we´ll have to keep a poker face for now." "Go back to the ship." "Be ready for anything." "Huh?" "What´s that?" "I´m honored that the head of the Vist family is meeting us himself." "We´re entrusting you with the fate of the Foundation." "I couldn´t let another man handle this task." "Come this way." "Piece of junk!" "Londo Bell?" "What´re they doing here?" "!" "The enemy?" "It´s... a key?" "So it´s not the Box itself you´re giving us, but rather... its key?" "Unsatisfied?" "Not unsatisfied, just confused." "We don´t even know what the Box is." "We know that opening Laplace´s Box would mean overthrowing the Federation." "And that the Vist Foundation´s wealth and glory come from your secret possession of it." "Your status as a charity that transports works of art to the colonies is just a front." "The truth is..." "Your leaders acknowledged the Box´s value, which is why they sent a man of your skill here." "In our current situation, we can´t afford to not grab at any bait that´s dangled in front of us." "If it turns out to be poisoned, then I guess my superiors will be disappointed." "Do you believe that Newtypes exist, Captain?" "Spend time on the battlefield, and you´ll run into powers that you can only explain that way." ""Power." That´s a word someone who´s physically felt it would use." "As humanity expands into space, all our latent abilities will blossom in order to adapt to that great void, and we´ll be able to understand each other without misconceptions." "That´s the Newtype theory once proposed by Zeon Deikun, which spoke of the reformation of humanity and infinite possibilities... of "power" itself." "Damn it!" "Garencieres!" "Enemies are here!" "Londo Bell is about to surround the colony!" "Since its victory in the One Year War, the Federation has lived in fear of this unseen power." "The power that shouts "J´accuse" at the privileged class that lives on Earth." "The power that calls to the abandoned Spacenoids to awaken." "What?" "!" "A power that may overthrow the control of the Federation government which has lasted nearly a hundred years." "Space belongs to the Spacenoids!" "The Federation has been absorbed for decades now in a battle against this invisible "Power"." "D-Damn dogs whose souls are still chained to Earth!" "Long live Neo Zeon!" "What was that?" "!" "An explosion?" "!" "Gilboa, have you heard from the Captain?" "I lost the connection." "The Minovsky Particles are getting denser!" "Attack them inside?" "The enemy has surrounded the colony." "Our only option is to cut straight through." "We´ll find the Captain and get the hell out of here." "Roger." "It´s true that government research facilities were created." "But they were just mad scientists´ labs, intended to artificially enhance the weapon-like aspects of Newtypes alone." "The civil conflict known as the Gryps War and also the two Neo Zeon wars..." "In all these cases, harsh oppression led to the rise of military factions, and the Federation suffered great harm." "However, it had a strong ally that ultimately secured its victory." "Do you know to what I refer?" "Time?" "Indeed." "The public sought results, and it grew tired of the "Newtypes" which held no strict definition, only possibility." "The term "Newtype" eventually became synonymous with "ace pilot", a definition as far as possible from the original concept of understanding without misconceptions proposed by Zeon Deikun." "Hey, look at that." "Hey, what´s that?" "Laplace´s Box holds the power to change the future." "Or rather, I suppose we should say the power to restore the future we were meant to have." "However, not all men have the ability to wield it." "If it´s misused, it could destroy the world." "So you´re going to give us the key as a test, to start?" "If, hypothetically, you´re small-minded enough that you focus only on a single thing, the Box will not reveal its contents." "That single thing being?" "The revival of Zeon." "It´s Londo Bell." "Combat has already begun inside the colony." "Have you contacted the military?" "Are you saying we´ve been caught in a trap?" "I´d say you were followed here, but neither of us can prove it." "We´ll be taking her back." "I was always planning on returning her to you." "She´s safe, in my mansion." "It´s very difficult for one person to trust another." "It´s unfortunate, sir." "I feel the same way, Captain." "Get everyone out of here!" "Get off my tail, damn it!" "So heavy!" "This´ll shut you up!" "Hurry!" "There are holes in the colony." "The school´s around there." "It´s war." "War has broken out." "War..." "Audrey!" "Wait, Banagher!" "H-Hey!" "Sir." "It´s a shame that a hundred year old alliance can be broken so easily." "The Federation is using this as an opportunity to take it all away." "Of course, we were the ones who tried to scrap it first." "Gael, don´t let the Federation have it!" "We can´t get out of here?" "!" "Hey!" "Open up!" "Hey, Banagher!" "Micott?" "You´re not hurt, are you?" "What about the others" "Takuya!" "Esther, Marco, Dennis, Tom..." "Everyone!" "Micott..." "Where´d everyone go?" "!" "Takuya, take care of Micott." "What are you gonna do?" "There´s someone I want to rescue." "Huh?" "Do you recognize whose mobile suit just ripped through here?" "It looked like a Zeta-type Transformable Suit..." "I think it´s from the Federation." "Then its mothership should be at the Snail." "Have them protect you." "Don´t leave me here, Banagher!" "I can´t have you leave me!" "Banagher!" "They appear to be special forces." "The command module has probably..." "In that case, we´ll have to erase the program ourselves." "And then, the Unicorn..." "Sir!" "Go on ahead!" "Why would they do this?" "Was it you, Alberto?" "Don´t shoot the kid." "You can´t get in touch with Marida?" "Did Martha put you up to this?" "You probably think you´ve used the military, but the ones being used here are..." "Alberto..." "Princess..." "Marida." "Hello, Audrey." "Haro!" "Banagher?" "A civilian?" "!" "You can´t come this way!" "You...!" "You know her?" "N-No!" "Incredible..." "We´re saved..." "It´s a Federation mobile suit." "It´s an RGZ-95." "A ReZEL, Micott." "We´re students at the Industrial College." "They busted holes into the colony, so we escaped." "Please rescue us!" "Audrey..." "This...?" "Gael?" "Are you all right?" "You...?" "Where is she..." "Where´s Audrey?" "She´d be alive." "She´s cheated death on countless occasions." "You didn´t leave her behind, did you?" "Are you planning on escaping by yourself in this mobile suit?" "Even if I escape, I won´t survive for long." "What the hell is your problem?" "!" "You act all high and mighty and yet you can´t do anything!" "Audrey went to see you in order to prevent a war." "And you had the power to do that, didn´t you?" "!" "People had plans for tomorrow..." "for next week..." "They weren´t supposed to die like this!" "At least, my mother..." "With my mom, it was different!" "She had dignity..." "Humans are different from the animals." "We´re supposed to respect the lives of others." "And yet, we adults have caused pointless bloodshed." "Not only that, but we devoured the Earth´s resources and then sought new ones in space." "Humanity must control itself and regain its dignity in order to revive the hope that was born a hundred years ago." "Through the possibilities that lay within, we will demonstrate the power and compassion of humanity." "Humanity alone possesses a God." "The power to transcend the now..." "the inner God called "possibility"." "You´ve come this far; are you confident that those feelings of yours will not waver?" "The burden she bears is immense." "You need the resolve to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders if you wish to go with her." "Do you still...?" "I don´t have confidence or resolve..." "I just know I want her to need me." "Very well." "Take this and go." "Now, it will heed your words, and yours alone." "If it judges you to be a suitable pilot, the Unicorn will grant you powers unrivaled." "It should then open the way to Laplace´s Box." "Laplace´s Box?" "A dark curse that has enslaved the Vist Family for a hundred years." "But, if used the right way, it will bring light to this Universal Century." "That being...?" "Anna..." "She didn´t want this curse to bind you, so she took you away from me..." "She must hate me..." "as must you as well." "But you must go forth!" "Fear not." "If you trust in the possibilities within and try with all your might, the path will show itself to you!" "No... it´s too late for that." "It´s selfish." "Please forgive me." "I wanted to spend more..." "much more..." "Banagher..." "My wish has finally come true, Anna..." "Father!" "Father...?" "Did I... just now..." "My own..." "To my only desire..." "The beast of possibility..." "The symbol of hope..." "Father..." "I´m sorry, Mom." "I must go!" "Audrey." "Banagher?" "Princess?" "Funnels!" "Wha-?" "!" "Get..." "Get the hell out of here!" "I can shoot it down!" "Wha-?" "!"
