Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System - Case.2 First Guardian

Tokyo, Public Safety Bureau

Everyone, please remain seated and listen.

This is the person from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I told you about earlier.

I'm Frederica Hanashiro.

As of today, I've been sent out on loan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the the Public Safety Bureau.

As an Assistant Inspector,

I will have the privilege of studying everyone's investigation methods.

This is part of the inter-ministerial personnel exchange promoted by the Cabinet Secretariat. Right?

Why now though... I wonder.

2 months ago,

the Public Safety Bureau launched an international investigation of the crimes that occurred in the Southeast Asia Union.

If you had made a mistake, and interfered with the internal politics of other countries,

it could have easily turned into an international conflict...

From now on, in case a similar incident occurs...

I hope you will work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Is someone within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dissatisfied with the state power of the Sibyl System?

Not at all.

Well then... Next, I will introduce you the Analyst.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Frederica Hanashiro...

It seems that she was in charge of the overseas investigations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

She takes care of her ministry's dirty work... Right?

Did you know about this?

I checked, of course. Because this was unusual.

Please. Don't get involved in strange political affairs.

Make some effort to avoid risks...

I...

Will always think about what's best for Division One.

Enforcer Teppei Sugo, right?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

If it's about work, you'd better ask an Inspector rather than me.

You...

Don't belong in a place like this,

the former ace pilot of the 15th Joint Task Force of The National Self-Defense Forces.

Lieutenant, Teppei Sugo.

There's a project by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

to form new units for paramilitary activities.

Are you a scout?

If you enlist,

your restrictions as a latent criminal will be lifted.

Back then, you were an excellent pilot protecting the land forces.

The First Guardian...

The thoughts that I can't let anyone know

dare ni mo miserarenai mono

Are flooding my head

atama no naka afurete

In a world void of even mistakes

machigai sae mo nai sekai e

mayoikonderu

I find myself lost

Plastic Tac Tic

Nobody can even go crazy anymore

mou dare mo okashiku narenai yo

kisama mo plastic beautiful world

You're also in this plastic beautiful world

utsukushisugi sekai ni

In a world that's too beautiful

boku wa nazeka hikari ga mienakute

For some reason, I can't see the light

haretsu shite yuku kokoro ga eternal reflection

My rupturing heart is an eternal reflection

secret remains for you

Fake plastic world

Don't reveal these false colors and futures

misekake no iro to mirai wo abakanai de

Fake plastic world

keep it secret motion

Okinawa

We've reached Tango-8.

This is Oscar...

First Guardian, can you hear me?

Loud and clear. This is First Guardian.

I can see two armed trucks from above.

I've also detected the armed targets from here.

We'll move in hitting from two points at the same time. I'll get the other target immediately after.

First Guardian, Roger.

Weapons on.

Two targets locked.

1 unit at 5 o'clock, south-southeast.

We've got the shot! Proceed!

What a great shot.

This is First Guardian.

All armed targets have been neutralized.

I'm handling the post support mission over to the local variable sweep-wing planes.

Roger, First Guardian.

National Defense Nago Base

15th Joint Task Force

Let's go with them.

No one else is suited for it.

Good work.

That was good exercise, right?

Oscar...

Otomo-senpai.

Then, Rin-san. The goodbye speech, please!

Well, yes...

Only a few know this, but a little while ago,

my Hue had become clouded.

The Department of Psychiatry has recommended a change of department.

It's just a precautionary measure.

I'm not going to become a latent criminal so...

You don't really have to worry.

Is that really the case?

To emphasize that seems suspicious.

Yoshida, quit making fun of my wife.

Itsuki.

My wife's Hue is clear and beautiful.

Honestly, I'm envious of how beautiful it is.

Oh, of course, she's beautiful inside and out.

Anyways, today's exercise as an Electronic Warfare Operator...

Has been the last with you all.

But from now on I will have to deal with the Nago Base...

As a Military System Engineer.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Well then! Let's celebrate today!

That's great! Numa-chan! Let's drink!

Noisy monkey!

You used to be superior in hand to hand combat, Teppei...!

I give up...

Senpai, you've put a lot of attention into the life log's update. Haven't you?

Since I could die at anytime.

I want to at least keep a record.

It's like "insurance."

Don't joke, please. It's bad luck.

If I die, cherish this sparring robot as if it was me.

I won't!

Are you and Rin classmates?

From training school.

Yeah, well. We've always been classmates...

But only that.

Hmm...

Hmm?

Say... Sugo.

Us from the special forces are types with a hard-to-cloud Hue, even if we kill people.

What's the matter? So suddenly...

I'm not drunk.

Next time... It will be a real fight.

Though with drones, we'll be killing people.

Murderers acknowledged by the Sibyl System...

Should that actually make me feel good?

What?

Sorry, it seems I'm a bit drunk after all.

Senpai...

I'm gonna have to use some medicine to get rid of the alcohol.

Stay where you are.

This is the Joint Staff's Military Operations Inspector.

Colonel Yoshito Takaesu.

Nice to meet you.

And the counselor for the Overseas Research Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mr. Fukita

Mr. Fukita will participate as an observer.

A Military Operations Inspector?

He's a big shot of the Joint Staff.

Besides, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' counselor...

Looks like a man who's never been on the field.

This operation is extremely classified.

Nago Base Garrison, Admiral Minatoya. Commander and Brigade Leader of the 15th Brigade of the National Defense Forces.

The target is...

As determined by the official Japanese government assistance, the Southeast Asian Union.

Commonly referred to as SEAUn.

The government forces will wage an offensive against one of the largest bases

of the military clans who oppose the current regime.

We will support them.

This is Plan No. 105 of the Ministry of Defense for Confidential Overseas Activities.

Alias Operation "Foot Stamp."

Again, this is classified info.

This is not to be spoken of to military personnel other than those involved in this case.

UF-2, the route is clear.

All green.

I will handle the mental care of the drone pilot from here.

Crap! I've been locked on!

Shit!

Second Guardian down.

Second Guardian down.

First Guardian, take over the air support mission.

The information was correct. Are those tanks?

Yes, old anti-aircraft weapons made in Russia.

Captain! Let's change route!

Going further is no longer possible!

Oscar-3! K I A! (Killed in action).

Retreat!

Operation failed! Repeat, operation failed!

No way.

Begin the second stage of the operation. Start withdrawing ground forces to Point D.

Understood.

I'm supporting Team Oscar's retreat.

What is this!

There is less ammunition than what was reported!

Lieutenant Sugo.

This is Tomonaga, Assistant of the Military Operations Inspector.

I'm sorry for the mistake in the prior report.

Currently in First Guardian,

emergency supplies are installed.

Drop it to Point D and return.

Please wait.

I'll support Oscar from the sky after the drop!

What can be done without any bullets?

But...!

Don't get the wrong idea.

You are nothing but a strategic unit in this operation.
