À double tour (À double tour)

Magus, Liesse, Baxter!

You're on the strike force! Take the Guges Ds!

Gina, Grigg, Briareos!

You'll focus on deciphering the coded signal!

You have 120 minutes to figure it out.

Lance. Put me on the strike force too.

You don't have your "Hundred Hands" for slugging it out.

Have more faith in your comrades.

You need to trust them more!

Forget that.

I have faith in each person's skills...

...but you're the only one I can really trust.

If that's your attitude, then you should quit ES.W.A.T.

You don't understand anything.

For someone with eight eyes, you're completely blind when it comes to me!

"Early this morning, the Human Liberation Front

will launch an assault on Tartaros.

If our demands are not met within six hours,

the Stymphalean will wipe out Olympus.

The Stymphalean carries a 20-kiloton nuclear warhead.

That is all.!

What are the demands?

That Tartaros' cryogenic equipment be shut off for a full 24 hours.

Either way, Poseidon will be set back twenty years...

What are our options?

The Stymphalean is currently being controlled remotely.

ES.W.A.T. is working on taking over its communication systems.

We will need to seek Urban Planning's judgment as well.

Convene the Legislative Bureau and the Senate too.

And I'll wish to consult with Gaia.

Have you figured out the Stymphalean's comms link?

It communicates remotely by randomly switching

between radio, optical, and acoustic transmissions on a nano-second scale.

There's only one way to stop it...

Cut the power supply to each and every system.

What are you going to do about this?

Should it destroy Tartaros, the entire Ark Project will go up in smoke.

Eurys. The Prime Minister is well aware of the situation.

I may very well go down in Olympus' history

as being a coldhearted leader.

Then we're to engage it?

Eurys.

Focus on keeping Tartaros' gene banks powered and running.

You're also to decide which types should have highest priority.

I'm placing the future of this city in ES.W.A.T.'s hands.

That Landmate is a Hekatoncheires.

Sheesh, what's with this signal?

It seems like it has a fixed rhythm, but it varies ever-so-slightly.

Doesn't it remind you of anything, though?

A heartbeat?

I refuse to accept this!

We promised to find paradise together, remember?!

Could you sign this cyborg modification consent form?

I'm afraid his life-support functions won't hold out much longer.

Briareos is going to die?!

I won't let Briareos die... I absolutely won't!

Deunan.

This is Deunan's heartbeat!

I'm certain of it.

They're using Deunan's heartbeat to encode their signal.

Source of transmission?!

Locating now! Point 20A-32N!

If only I'd been stronger...

If only I'd been by your side...

I just want to keep you safe, like Karl did.

Like my detestable old man?!

I have a kid on the way.

I want to teach her how to live so she can survive anywhere she goes.

I want to keep my family safe.

Briareos...

Olympus...!

This is Deunan!

This is Deunan! ES.W.A.T., respond!

Deunan!

Briareos! I'm...!

It's your heartbeat!

They're using your heartbeat to encode the--

The comms channel's been cut.

Damn!

Tartaros will be within effective bombing range in 1000 seconds.

My heartbeat? Encode?

They're using my heartbeat as a code to control this...

You catch on quickly.

What for?!

Because it's the most effective method, of course.

You're not worried I might end my own life?!

Your pulse will set off the warhead should it go over a certain amount.

Besides, you won't do it.

You aren't foolish enough to end your own life. Not even for a mission.

What are you...?

Our focus now is to stabilize the signal.
