Juushinki Pandora

Neo Xianglong,

an old city of a developing country.

Where the "Crisis of Xianglong" would occur, the city with the best defense in the world.

A place that was called: "The last bastion of humanity".

The Hyperdrive synchronize's with the pilot's subconscious, and—

Sorry.

It's Leon Lau, the man who destroyed the world.

The surveillance report is late.

2038 Neo Xianglong

The maintenance of the devices was delayed.

At this rate, we will be exposed.

It is up to you to solve the problem.

In terms of food and plants,

Will the production decrease this month?

There is not enough staff. We need more—

Denied.

Review your production plan and send it to supervision.

Do you see, Captain Gren?

Unfortunately, our city lacks personnel.

It's impossible to provide more.

We still haven't repair the area that he damaged!

They prefer to attend to other matters, Is not this what matters?

Enough. Denied. Return to your position.

But...

Damn it!

He thinks it's a game!

Where is the Pandora Team?

Performing maintenance.

And Leon Lau?

Would it be profitable for us to produce his Hyperdrive?

Actually, I think his system is dangerous.

And Leon Lau...

...is hiding something.

It is not reliable.

And I do not approve of the inclusion of strangers in the city.

Can we face the BRAI with our current team?

I'm not expecting death, without fighting.

I drank too much...

You are good.

Were you on your way before the crisis?

Where did you learn to shoot?

My hobby was hunting.

A hobby...

Am I useful? You pay me for having fun.

Did you have fun last night?

In Neo Xianglong there are many bars with beautiful girls.

Captain beard-san, Doug-san!

Hello, little sister, are you on duty?

I'm Chloe. Have you seen Leon?

No. And why do you come every day, little one?

It's Chloe!

Leon is badly oriented.

And how did you get in?

Leon gave me this...

A pass?

Let's see...

It's well done.

It's fake.

What?!

That guy...

He's that talented.

It's fake?

S-Sorry.

I was distracted... S-Sorry.

Eh?

Hey, Leon!

Chloe?

Where we are?

I was calling you!

Family contract, Article 62: "Answer when they call you".

Yeah...

It cost a lot and why...

Where were you going?

The hangar.

It's where we are!

Was the pass fake?

Do not complain if you are expelled!

Oh, it hurts, Chloe!

I don't care!

My ear...!

That is Leon Lau.

The one who handled the reactor?

I do not know whether to believe it either.

He is one of those who changed the world.

Are you interested?

Hate, resentment...

Everyone has a grudge on him.

In my case, well...

I don't care.

Why should someone pilot it?

To activate Hyperdrive, a person is needed.

Why?

It synchronizes with the pilot's subconscious and...

Leon, and your manners?

Family contract, Article 18: "No snacks".

Come on, we did not have this outside.

Since my synchronization with the Hyperdrive, I use more energy.

Look.

What is he doing?

He acts as if nothing.

Secretary Jay?

Why so urgent... Secretary Jay?

For generations,

my family has protected this city with the family of the princess.

She wants to produce the Hyperdrive in mass to increase the defense.

Yes! I built it for that.

But I object.

Without a doubt, you defeated the BRAI,

but then you lost consciousness and you damaged the defense system.

Therefore, We will test the performance of the Hyperdrive.

If it doesn't work, we will destroy it.

And we will prohibit any investigation on the subject.

The princess agrees.

Any objection?

No.

I think it's a good idea.

Good.

We will choose the pilot.

Huh?

What?

The Hyperdrive is activated by synchronizing with the subconscious.

And I still do not know what effects it could have.

I will pilot it.

Denied

To define its performance, we will use a soldier.

I do not guarantee that he will live.

And there may be casualties.

Every soldier is prepared.

Or do you prefer a rookie as you to fight against a BRAI?

I understand.

But we need security measures.

The test will be tomorrow afternoon.

Have it ready.

That's all.

Ah...

What?

The thing is ...

My sister and I, we thank you for having offered us the necessary for our stay.

I just did my job.

Let us know if anything is missing.

To give it to you.

Thank you very much.

Ah...

Anything else?

Are you sure we did not know each other?

A field?

A food factory.

After the incident, the population decreased, and the buildings were used for other things.

Outside!

Get out of here!

It was all his fault!

Take a look, dear.

What do you say?

Queenie-san!

Finding you here is great!

You were still in Neo Xianglong.

Y-Yes.

What about you?

Leon was hired by the bearded captain.

Yes, I joined the special anti-BRAI team.

You will fight against them?

No, I will only do studies.

I will be mainly supportive.

I felt death, coming from your MOEV.

An icy darkness

trapping the heat of the blood.

It may be that one day it takes over you.

Be careful.

Queenie-san...

The quantum reactor is certainly promising as an energy source,

but nothing is certain.

Did we really have to finance it?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You have to verify it yourself.

My family also has a duty to protect Xianglong for generations.

We were waiting for you.

The mayor helped us a lot.

Professor Lon, it's my father who thanks you.

Leon!

Leon Lau!

I'll present it to you,

supervisor and head of the research team.

Nice to meet you,

I'm Leon Lau.

That day,

everything changed.

The body of the mayor was found.

How is it?

The PDG of Chain & Co, Edogawa Kinshi, carries out the countermeasures.

And the research laboratory?

A single survivor.

But Dr. Lon...

Who is the survivor?

Leon... Leon Lau.

He's trying to regain control of the reactor.

After the Xianglong crisis, it appeared... the BRAI.

They evolved so much, even when the incident is recent...

What are those things?

What are those things?

They are BRAI.
