Active Raid

Is Tokyo Governor Inagi Involved in Terrorism?!

Didn't you save the life of Kobari-san's daughter?

Madoka looked into it for me.

And the way you panicked when the autopsy video played

wasn't like you.

Do you regret what happened with Naganuma-san?

Chinju-san, was it?

What will you do now?

I will follow Inagi-sensei. That is all.

I see.

Tell me one last thing.

Was it your ideal to control Tokyo?

Or did you just want to make an ideal city?

Control?

Never.

I was just in too much of a hurry.

I see... All right.

Then I'll go

protect the future you tried to create, Inagi-san.

In the future,

when something happens beyond the normal police's capacity,

they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.

This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE, the Third Mobile Assault Unit.

File 12: Wonderful Days

Did you see the news?

I heard they arrested the governor.

I can't believe it!

Takao

I heard rumors that were basically urban legends,

but I didn't expect anything to happen before the City Summit ended.

What happened with the City Summit?

The lieutenant governor took over, and it's still on.

But they moved it to Sapporo, right?

Why Sapporo?

Huh?!

Is that true, Prime Minister?

Yes.

We've learned that the space elevator

is loaded with Image Master.

Image Master is

the type of explosive used in the Rudra incident, right?

Yes. It seems the previous administration

covertly acquired them from Carupanuba

and placed them on the satellite as a strategic defense weapon.

It was developed as a satellite weapon?

Does the rest of the world know?

But we don't need to worry now, right?

Bird severed the cable linking it to Earth,

and it's leaving geostationary orbit.

If we leave it, it'll float off.

No, the satellite and the Image Master will fall on Tokyo.

No way!

On Tokyo?

How bad will the damage be?

The association has run the calculations many times,

and the results are disastrous.

Within five days, the satellite that forms the space elevator's base

will enter the atmosphere.

Takao

The damage from the Image Master will spread

to Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Shizuoka.

Former Governor Inagi tried to avoid this, but...

Well, Kyoukai-kun?

I agree with you, Kyoukai-sama.

There's only one way to stop Tokyo from being destroyed.

Directly activate the emergency switch on the satellite,

causing it to leave Earth's gravitational field.

So that's the only way after all?

Everyone...

Bird is causing the satellite to accelerate.

There's no time to send an astronaut.

The association has decided that

using Willwears is the only solution to this problem.

Using Willwears in space?

I now propose the formation of a special joint government-civilian task force!

Is that all right, Prime Minister?

Well, um...

I'll have to take the plan back with me.

What about the USDF's operation?

No problem.

Prime Minister!

Very well, then...

Good.

We will now act to protect our citizens and our country!

Right!

What?! The prime minister's residence is moving to Fukuoka?

Without giving evacuation orders?

I'm sure they had their reasons, even if it may not look like it.

So, what's the plan?

They're sending one unit from the Third Mobile and one from the USDF.

Just two units?

They're worried about the damage if anything happens in low-Earth orbit,

so they'll handle it in medium-Earth orbit.

Given the time we have and tools at our disposal, it's the best we can do.

The USDF will use a plane to carry the Willwear to high altitude,

and then launch it.

Of course, I'll be the one going to space.

Miho...

I think we'll all be working together to launch one person.

Here, from the new city hall.

Kyoukai-san, are you there?

I sure am.

How will they get back?

No need to worry about that.

They can use the satellite's emergency unit.

Oh, that's perfect.

Right, Brain?

Yeah...

Kyoukai-kun, just tell us already.

How likely is this to succeed?

Bird's causing the satellite to continually accelerate,

so the odds are about 31%.

I thought so.

You thought so?

Torigoe, that's why you're a failure as a person.

Use Willwears to reach the rendezvous point,

work in space for the first time,

and then attempt atmospheric reentry.

There's no way...

Um, who's going to space?

I'm the chief. I'll go.

No, I'll go.

Unfortunately, neither of you qualifies.

In addition to mass, air tightness, and environmental protection,

there's the need to supply nutrients and oxygen,

as well as the required thruster modifications.

Only two Willwears qualify.

Oscar II, the Strike Interceptor,

and Oscar VI, the Fine Familia.

I'll go!

Kuroki-kun...

Asami will get cocky if she succeeds, so it's best not to let her.

And...

It was his failures that caused this.

That's why I need to handle it.

So, everyone, back me up!

Right!

Everyone, let's all work together...

Boss!

Director...

I brought what you requested, scumwad d**k.

Scum—

Thank you.

We'll handle the rest.

Once you've got it unloaded, go back to Nagoya.

It may be dangerous here.

Shove it up your ass, pencil d**k.

We're all here to help your wh*re-eating ass.

Hear that, slaves?

Yes, boss!

Thank you, everyone.

I'm amazed you know what they're saying.

Huh?

Madoka-san, what are you doing here?

I want to do something, too.

Thanks.

We don't have enough people, so I'll take you up on that.

Madoka-chan and everyone from Senars, Inc.

Yes.

I see...

Knowing Bird, he may wait until the last minute.

Unit 8

Not bad.

I'm so frustrated with myself.

I was so close to him, and I didn't notice a thing.

Hey, more importantly, isn't there another?

Another?

With him.

Why won't you let me get to city hall?

Why did you suddenly move the summit to Sapporo?

You're so amazing, Emilia-san.

What are you talking about?

Even though you're using the Centaur Unit for this mission,

you're still calm.

That's not true.

I still feel like I'm going to choke every time I see it.

Then why?

The boss said you're not technically part of the unit, so you don't have to do it.

I owe Kuroki-san a debt.

So, until he comes back, I won't run.

You won't run...

All right.

I'll do my best, too!

I think it's all right to take your time with that.

Yeah, you're right.

It's been a while, Madoka-chan. Will you be okay?

Yes, no problem.

Huh?

Haruka-san, did you connect the system to an Internet auction?

Oh, well...

The time limit runs out right when Kuroki-san is supposed to come back.

I figured it'd be a good way to kill time.

You're worried, aren't you?

Am I?

Maybe I am.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

D*ckhead!

Oh, yeah!

D*ckhead!

Oh, yeah!
