Xenosaga: The Animation

Mankind has abandoned its home world...

And 4,000 years have passed.

Combat will be under confined conditions via attached dampening restraints.

Target: One A.M.W.S. Platoon.

There are no restrictions on weapon usage.

You can do it, right, KOS-MOS?

No problem, Shion.

Decision-making and offensive skills are just as expected.

Looking good!

Chief Uzuki!

Targets are confirmed destroyed.

The enemies have been exterminated.

Okay. Good work.

I guess this level of combat exercise was too easy for you...

Give it a rest already, Chief!

We have enough data to submit our report to the bridge.

I'm terminating this Encephalon Dive. Okay?

Understood.

Chief!

I guess I'm a little worn out.

Why couldn't you have just used the external monitoring?

I wanted to see KOS-MOS in action with my own eyes!

Chief, aren't you supposed to give that report to the bridge ASAP?

Yes, so I have to hurry and finish things up here.

I'll take care of it.

You finish your report, then try to get some rest.

I appreciate it, Allen. You'll take care of things for me?

Yes, of course!

All right, see you later.

Good luck.

Okay! We're going to combine the data from each monitoring section!

Everyone hurry and submit your information.

She's really got you trained, hasn't she, Deputy Chief?

What are you talking about?! Just hurry and get your data together!

Oh, I am!

There's no need to get all embarrassed...

What was that?

Nothing at all, sir! You're hearing things, sir!

I swear...

What is it?

Um, as a newcomer, this may sound forward, but...

You think we should hurry and move on to actual testing, too?

Yes. We can't learn anything more from simulations.

I know there was an accident two years ago, but...

Hey!

It's all right. I understand how he feels. Hey!

It's all right. I understand how he feels.

A lot of researchers working on the KOS-MOS died when it went out of control.

Chief Uzuki was there.

Yes. I heard she lost her boyfriend.

The chief knows more than anyone what KOS-MOS can do, and how dangerous it is.

All her decisions are based on that.

We should have faith in those decisions.

Way too slow!

Give me another hundred million push-ups! Keep going till your triceps snap!

I told you that thing was dangerous, didn't I?!

But we still lost a man because you had to be so damn careless!

That's...

But Lt. Commander, the fleet's objective was supposed to be

investigating the planet attacked by the Gnosis.

Why did we gate out on the way to recover something like THAT?

Use your muscles instead of that idiot head of yours!

You do not have the luxury of thought, got it?!

Is that...

Yes, it is. Zohar.

You're...

Stop, damn it!

I don't care if you are Vector's chief engineer, this is off limits!

Get the hell out of here! My men'll start slacking off if they see bimbos like you around!

I'm so sorry!

That was a grave mistake, Andrew.

I already warned you about the dangers of retrieving the Zohar.

You should know how valuable the agents we've placed inside the military are.

I'm afraid there's no excuse.

We've picked up local U.M.N. Activity on our EPR radar.

They'll cross your vector in five hours, 22 minutes.

Don't tell me it's the Gnosis!

I told you, you've made a grave mistake.

We've dispatched the unit as insurance. Keep it safe at all costs.

Will they make it in time?

They should. But prepare for the worst. That is all.

Commander, wait!

Commander Margulis!

Scheduled report: The main engine is operating in stealth mode.

Exit from current space set at absolute time 1300 on the 22nd.

Commander Cherenkov. Exit from current space set at absolute time 1300 on the 22nd.

Sorry I'm late, Captain. Exit from current space set at absolute time 1300 on the 22nd.

Exit from current space set at absolute time 1300 on the 22nd.

We've just about finished.

Next U.M.N. Column in six hours, 19 minutes. We've just about finished.

Next U.M.N. Column in six hours, 19 minutes. Take a look for yourself.

Take a look for yourself.

Sir.

So, this is KOS-MOS?

Lieutenant, I'll take over for you.

Half-watch will continue for another three hours.

Ah, thanks. The column's pulse data is already updated.

Understood.

That Realian...It's a 100-Series Observational Unit.

What's the meaning of this?!

There's still no field data! What's the point of having a weapon if you don't use it?!

Some of the systems are still unstable...

Listen up! As we speak, mankind is facing the Gnosis, an unprecedented threat!

There's no way of knowing when our fleet will encounter them.

KOS-MOS is our anti-Gnosis weapon, and we need to stop playing around and USE it!

Let it go, Commander.

On our ship alone, we have A.W.G.S. And a 100-Series Observational Unit.

The days of being at their mercy with our obsolete weaponry are in the past.

Also, the fleet is currently between two columns.

The odds of contact with the Gnosis is statistically low.

So that's where we stand. Even Vector's engineers need more time.

Try to be more understanding, will you?

Sir.

We don't have that sort of time.

In five hours, this fleet will be annihilated.

You've been working so much that I haven't seen you for two years now.

Listen, you could as least come home for our parents' memorial.

Where's your sense of filial duty?

Memorial? Why are you trying to resurrect obscure ancient rituals? I swear, brother.

Ever since you started working at Vector...

Hello! Vector calling!

Ah, Ms. Uzuki! Sorry for always troubling you...

No problem. I want all Realians to be healthy and happy.

We're short on maintenance staff,

so there's no end to the number of units that start malfunctioning.

Humans tend to accumulate stress during long journeys...

It's the same for artificial lifeforms. Take him for example.

The relationship between actor and intent...In particular, the part

governing subjective versus objective awareness, is out of balance.

I made a few adjustments. How do you feel?

I cannot express it appropriately, but...

I feel like some weight has been lifted. Everything feels a bit brighter.

Thank you very much.

You should be fine now.

Wow, providing Realian psych support on top of developing android software...
