(recapping last episode)
Kalinin: Once we start the operation, these two UN transport planes will land with our support, accommodate the hostage group from the jumbo jet and take off within five minutes.
Male soldier: What? In five minutes!? That’s not enough time.
Kurz: Five minutes is an eternity, to be protecting a target that big.
Melissa: What should we do if one of the transport planes gets destroyed while it’s taking off?
Kalinin: Then accommodate as many hostages as possible in one of the transport helicopters. As a last resort you may ditch your AS, but in that case make sure to destroy it completely. This should take priority over your lives. We are the only ones in the world who can make this mission a success! So I’m counting on each of you.

Kaname: [beat glass] Let me out of here!
Scientist: Hm?
Kaname: [continue to beat glass] I said out! Let me out of this thing. Hey, I’m talking to you! Quirk doctor! Mad scientist!
Scientist: Shut your mouth now! Sit still and watch the images.
Kaname: [remove blinders] I can’t take it! No more of these stupid 3D videos. I’m not your guinea pig, ok? Lemme go!
(outside)
Sousuke: [check watch] Is that it? Just focus.
(inside)
Scientist: [pin Kaname] You’re acting like a little brat, and after I’ve tried so hard to be nice to you.
Kaname: [elbow scientist] Who are you to talk about nice, you ugly old hag!? It’s been fun, but I got to go now.
Scientist: Where are you going? You get back here now.
Kaname: No way! You- you can’t scare me just by waving a gun!
Scientist: [shot at Kaname]
Kaname: OK… I’m scared.
Scientist: [shot at Kaname]
Guard 1: What’s going on!?
Scientist: The subject was giving me trouble. I had to reprimand the little snot.
Guard 1: Just what kind of trouble was it that you had to go and pull a gun on her, huh?
Scientist: What authority do you have to question me? Just hold her down, OK?
Kaname: Hey, what are you doing?
Scientist: You know at first I wasn’t planning to use this experimental drug in a test phase. But… it’s your own fault. I tried to be as nice as I could.
Kaname: No, lemme go. Please, don’t! Noo!
Gaurd 1: [groan, fall]
Guard 2: [groan, fall]
Sousuke: I can take it from here Miss Chidori.
Kaname: Oh God, Sousuke!
Scientist: And just who are you supposed to be?
Sousuke: I’m the one who gets to ask the questions here, lady. What is all this equipment and why did you kidnap Miss Chidori?
Scientist: You think I’m going to tell you just like that?
Sousuke: [shoot twice at Scientist]
Scientist: Don’t shoot me, I’ll tell you! We’re using this equipment as part of an experiment to find out if she is truly one of the Whispered.
Kaname: Th-The whispered?
Sousuke: I want to know everything.
(gunshots fill the room)

Kurz: So you think our collision-prone Sergeant Somber’s doing OK out there?
Melissa: If it’s Sousuke you’re talking about I wouldn’t worry. ‘Cause he could run a marathon through a minefield and come out clean. Even under enemy fire.
Kurz: Ah, that’s not what I meant. I mean Kaname, eh? And certain feelings Sousuke might discover in the midst of all this?
Melissa: What kind of nonsense are you babbling about? Rescuing the other passengers takes precedence over Chidori, doesn’t it?
Kurz: I don’t know. If Kaname were in danger, I’d be happy to forget my duty and become her hero.
Melissa: Let’s not confuse you with Sousuke. He’s not so stupid to take that risk and ignore the priorities of his duty.
(Experiment station)
Sousuke: OK let’s go.
Kaname: W-wait! I can’t go outside with nothing but this on!
Sousuke: Just forget about it, we don’t have enough time!
Kaname: What!? No way!
Sousuke: [dive on Kaname to protect her]
Kaname: [scream] What do you think you’re doing!? Get off me you molester! Pervert!
Sousuke: You don’t understand Miss Chidori that’s not what I’m doing!

Kyoko: Teacher, are you alright?
Eri: [cry] I am so sorry. I was here with all of you but… they took away Kaname and…
Shinji: Uh, does anybody know where Sousuke is? I haven’t seen him in a while.
Maya: Hey, don’t look at me.
Shiori: Don’t you see we’re busy right now!?
Shinji: Alright, I’m sorry already!
Kyoko: [look out window] Oh Kaname…

Kaname: [scream]
Sousuke: Get in, hurry! Get down and take cover!
Kaname: What the heck is going on Sousuke!? OK, who are you? Where are we going, and what are you going to do when we get there? … Dammit answer me!
Sousuke: The truth is I’ve been following you since the first day I reported to your school Miss Chidori, OK?
Kaname: I already know that! What I really want to know is why you keep following me!
Sousuke: Right. All I know is this: You’re a very special human being and some government agency wants to use you for a secret medical experiment.
Kaname: G-government agencies? What medical experiments?
Sousuke: We’re not sure yet. But in order to prevent such a thing from happening, Mithril sent a soldier to gaurd you 24-7. And that soldier is me.
Kaname: Soldier? Mithril?
Sousuke: Yes. I’m Sousuke Sagara, Sergeant of Mithril. My call sign is Urzu 7, id number B-3128.
Kaname: Uh, look. I understand you’re a big military buff and every Sousuke but come on. I mean seriously. Hello.
Sousuke: We’ve got incoming!
Kaname: [scream] Huh?
Sousuke: OK, stay down!
Kaname: What? But why?
Sousuke: Because we’re gonna crash through.
Kaname: Huh!?
(screams and crashing)
Kaname: I’m gonna die.
Sousuke: Let’s get out, we’ve got company.
Kaname: Huh? Are those, are those arm slaves?
Sousuke: It’s the RK-92, also known as the Savage.
Kaname: Don’t tell me you’re gonna try… Wait a second, what are you thinking!? I don’t care if you’re the biggest military maniac in the whole world! Stop it Sousuke! There’s no way an amateur can pilot a robot like that!
Sousuke: I’m no amateur.
Kaname: Huh?
Sousuke: I’m not an amateur Miss Chidori. In fact, I’m a specialist.
RK-92: Closing and locking hatch. Adjusting master sensors.
Kaname: [scream]
(gunshots while enemy approaches)
RK-92: Main generator switching on. Main condenser charging. All joints are locked. Now in the process of releasing locks.
Sousuke: Move it you Soviet-made scrap heap!
Kaname: [look over at Sousuke in RK-92] Mm. Huh?
RK-92: Ready for combat maneuvers.
(attacks enemy)
Kaname: [watch battle] Sousuke…
(battle continues)
Kaname: [approach Sousuke] You’re kidding me… ohh… I can’t believe it. He did that? Sousuke Sagara?

Soldier 1: What happened?

Sousuke: Chidori, get on. We’re making a run for it.
Kaname: Uh, you want me to climb on there?
Sousuke: Hurry.
(proceeds out of hangar to fall under attack)
Sousuke: Listen Chidori, you’re gonna need to hang on tight.
Kaname: [scream] Wait! What are you gonna do about the others? I can’t leave without them!
Sousuke: Right now we’re in danger. My colleagues will make sure everyone’s OK.
Kaname: Colleagues?
Sousuke: They’re sending a rescue squad.

Deck Officer: Urzu 2 you have thirty seconds before submarine departure.
Melissa: Urzu 2 roger. Urzu 6, do you copy?
Kurz: Gotcha babe, I’ll be ten seconds behind ya. Alrighty, shall we go out there and pick up Sousuke’s body?
Melissa: Moron, don’t say that! It’s bad luck. Go! Let’s get this thing started.
Tessa: Five minutes, and that’s going to be a long, long five minutes.

Kaname: [groan]
Sousuke: Hang on for a little longer, until we build up a good lead!
(attacked)
Sousuke: [thinking] The sensors didn’t pick up anything. Where is it?
(incoming grenade neutralized)
Kaname: [groan against heat]
Sousuke: Shit, they’re grenades! Not another one!
Kaname: [gasp]
Sousuke: Chidori! A blank shell? It was a decoy!?
Kaname: Sousuke!
Sousuke: Stay back! Don’t come any closer!
Gauron: Aren’t you that student who dropped his tray? I never figured the agent would be a high school student. I admit it, you had me fooled.
Sousuke: [deadly glare]
Gauron: [laugh] Hm? This is a nice surprise. Kashim, is that you!? I hadn’t noticed! I never knew you were at Mithril. How’s Kalinin? What’s that old chicken doing these days?
Sousuke: Why don’t you tell me how you’re still alive.
Gauron: See, I already had a piece of titanium built into my skull as a result of a previous injury. The shallow angle of the shot didn’t hurt either. But enough about me, it’s fantastic to see you! It’s fabulous, really great! There’s so much to talk about, Kashim- but oh the time! I’ve got this new job where I have to play around in the young girl’s brain. It’s like a treasure hunt.
Sousuke: Like a treasure hunt!?
Gauron: Yes. Her brain is full of keys to the so-called Black Technology. Like how to apply the Theory of the Lambda Driver in practice.
Kaname: Hh?
Gauron: Once that’s all fleshed out nuclear weapons will be obsolete. Or so they claim. Is this news to you? I’ll let that be my parting gift. Tell the ferryman when you get to the River Styx that there’s a big group on the way. Until then Kashim…
Kaname: [watch Gauron take aim] No, don’t do it!
(shots from above)
Kaname and Sousuke: [relieved yet confused sigh]
Kurz: Yee haw! Urzu 6 landed successfully. I’ve got Urzu 7 and Angel with me.
Sousuke: It’s Kurz!
Kaname: You said Kurz? Wait, you don’t mean…
Kurz: Yup it’s me, Kurz Weber. You doing OK Miss Kaname?
Kaname: Who the… what in the world are you guys?
Sousuke: [groan, get out of mech]
Kaname: What are those?
Sousuke: Did we make it in time?
Kurz: Sousuke, take Kaname with you and go back to the base. The transport planes will be forcing a landing soon. Once they land you’ve got five minutes. I’ll take care of things down here and catch up with you later.
Sousuke: Understood.
Kaname: [Sousuke takes hand] Hm?
Sousuke: Keep a sharp eye out for that silver AS. Both man and machine are in a class of their own.

Shinji: This is so awesome! Just like the Fuji training fields! Except that it’s actually the real thing! Kick ass!
Melissa: Everyone! Keep away from the windows.
(passengers wonder what is happening)
Melissa: I found it!
UN Soldier: Please stay calm! We are the UN’s rescue unit, we’re here to make sure that no passengers get left behind. So just please be patient, and follow the directions we give you.

Kurz: [thinking] Two minutes into this battle and the enemy hasn’t shot even once. Does it mean he only has hand-to-hand weapons or is he just that much better?
(continued dodging and shooting)
