Your luck is good. {Reinhard} First (Senior Grade) Lieutenant, you came to save me? {Lieutenant} Third (Junior Grade) Lieutenant, what happened to your subordinate? {Lieutenant} I didn't see the red head. {Reinhard} The battery is empty, and the vehicle couldn't move. {Reinhard} Couldn't use the armaments either. {Reinhard} He went out to seek help, but, fell off a cliff. {Reinhard} I couldn't save him. {Lieutenant} Ah, too bad. {Reinhard} I want to find his body, please assist me. {Reinhard} Afterwards, please let me ride in your armored vehicle back to the base. {Lieutenant} Sorry, I refuse. {Lieutenant} I didn't come to save you. {Reinhard} What? Why did you come here then? {Lieutenant} It's useless to hide it now. {Lieutenant} I came to make sure you never return to base. {Lieutenant} Following the transmitter, {Lieutenant} I had wanted to wait until you two froze to death or died in battle. {Lieutenant} But, sometimes manual labor is required. {Reinhard} What did you say? {Lieutenant} Your first battle has turned into your last. {Lieutenant} It's quite pitiful, but, not an uncommon event. {Lieutenant} Because the first battle is the hardest. {Lieutenant} Admit your fate and follow your red head friend bravely. {Reinhard} If Colonel Hierda finds out, he will never forgive you. {Lieutenant} It was Colonel Hierda {Lieutenant} who gave the order to kill you. {Reinhard} What? Why? What have I done? {Reinhard} I have never done anything to upset the Colonel. {Lieutenant} Your existence alone upsets people. {Reinhard} I'm Countess Gruenwald's younger brother. {Reinhard} I'm destined to stand above you in the future. {Reinhard} Do you think you can get away with this? {Lieutenant} Borrowing your sister's position to boast? {Lieutenant} Unfortunately, that sort of thing won't work anymore. {Lieutenant} The light source itself will soon be extinguished. {Reinhard} What? {Lieutenant} Colonel Hierda and certain high ranking individual in the Imperial Court are in conspiracy. {Lieutenant} When you two came to this planet {Lieutenant} we received that person's instruction letter. {Lieutenant} That person, is a lady loved by his Majesty the Emperor. {Lieutenant} She says she cannot endure seeing {Lieutenant} a girl of poor and lowly birth controlling affairs of the palace. {Lieutenant} Therefore, according to order of things, we first kill the younger sibling. {Reinhard} Who is this lady? {Lieutenant} Since you cannot reveal this secret to anyone else, {Lieutenant} I'll tell you then. {Lieutenant} That person's name, {Lieutenant} is Countess Susanna von Benemunde. {Reinhard} I've heard of her. {Reinhard} She was the Emperor's favorite, before my sister arrived. {Lieutenant} Correct, she is of noble lineage by birth. {Lieutenant} Unlike that tramp sister of yours. {Reinhard} Fine, I understand. {Reinhard} You're not needed anymore. {Reinhard} Kircheis, get him! {Lieutenant} What?! {Reinhard} You're still alive, eh? {Lieutenant} Save me, I beg you. {Lieutenant} If you save me, {Lieutenant} I will... be loyal to you. {Reinhard} What should I do, Kircheis? {Kircheis} This man, damaged Annerose-sama's good reputation. {Reinhard} Did you hear that, Lt. 1st class? {Reinhard} My opinion is the same as his. {Reinhard} You want to kill us is one thing, {Reinhard} and that may be overlooked. {Reinhard} But, you said something that you shouldn't have. {Reinhard} There is no other way to repent. {Reinhard} We cannot avoid fighting with this kind of person. {Reinhard} Let us return to base, Kircheis. {Reinhard} The battle has just begun. {Siegfried} Yes, Reinhard-sama. {Siegfried} Yes, the battle has just begun. {Siegfried} To give Colonel Hierda a fitting pay-back. {Siegfried} To save Lady Annerose-sama from those nobles in the Imperial Court {Siegfried} who plotted against us in secret. {Siegfried} Then, perhaps we'd make Annerose-sama {Siegfried} and the Emperor's relationship stronger temporally. {Siegfried} But, for us to live on. {Siegfried} Only for us to live on. {Siegfried} One day. {Siegfried} The day when she will face me with her smile will come. {Siegfried} For now, to carry on this belief and continue fighting. # Commercial break {Siegfried} Reinhard-sama, data for the enemy's base has been found. {Reinhard} All right. {Siegfried} There's also the enemy's battle plans. {Siegfried} The enemy appears to be moving toward our base right now. {Reinhard} What? {Siegfried} If this continues, they'd suffer a surprise attack. {Siegfried} Our encounter wasn't with a simple patrol. {Siegfried} It appears to be part of the enemy's advance units. {Siegfried} Reinhard-sama {Reinhard} Can't we make use this situation? {Soldier} Number 3 observation post, please respond! {Soldier} Number 8 observation post, please respond! {Colonel} What is happening? {Captain} Enemy surprise attack. {Captain} Lost contact with number 3, 8, and 12 observation posts simultaneously. {Colonel} It just had to be now... {Colonel} Uh, nothing. {Colonel} Number 9 defensive system. {Captain} Yes! {Captain} Number 9 defense system. {Soldier} Confirmed enemy missiles toward our base. # The Colonel yelled "control", but, I don't think that makes sense here. {Colonel} Countermeasures. {Soldier} All right! Success! {Colonel} Are countermeasures sufficient for now? {Colonel} What are those rebels thinking? {Captain} Not good, that was bait. {Colonel} What? {Captain} Please look at this. {Captain} The enemy's main force is coming from the rear, toward our mining base. {Colonel} Deploy the mobile armor divisions! {Reinhard} Looks like we made it. {Reinhard} What do you think, Kircheis? {Kircheis} Soon. {Reinhard} Hurry. {Reinhard} We must reduce our troop casualties. {Kircheis} Yes, Reinhard-sama. {Soldier} Missile launcher 16, 8, 6 has been destroyed. {Captain} Colonel, at this rate... {Kircheis} Command code complete. {Reinhard} All right, send it. {Captain} What's going on? {Soldier} Vehicle 52 reporting! {Colonel} Vehicle 52? {Soldier} Now on screen. {Colonel} 3rd Lt. Musel, why...? {Reinhard} Reporting. {Reinhard} During our scouting maneuvers, we encountered enemy vehicles. {Reinhard} After inputting their data into our computer for analysis, {Reinhard} we've transmitted fake orders to the enemy vehicles now attacking our base. {Reinhard} And immobilized them. {Reinhard} The effect may be temporary. {Reinhard} Please take the opportunity to attack. {Soldier} He's really good. {Captain} Commander. Commander! {Colonel} What is it? {Captain} Please give the order. {Colonel} All vehicles, attack. {Captain} All vehicles, attack! {Colonel} What could have happened? {Colonel} Why did they come back? # Note: not sure about the spelling of that Lieutenant's name, might be Kirche. {Colonel} What happened to Folken Burcheis? {Colonel} He failed? {Colonel} Do they know it was my order? {Colonel} Or...? {Captain} Commander. Colonel! {Colonel} What is it? {Captain} Our forces are overwhelming the opposition, it's only a matter of time. {Colonel} I know that. {Captain} The newly arrived Lt. 3rd class Musel is very resourceful. {Captain} For his first battle, he has performed well and gained many merits. {Colonel} Idiot! {Captain} The Colonel appears to be fatigued. {Captain} The situation has improved. {Captain} Please excuse my suggestion, let me take care of this. {Captain} Would you please go take some rest? {Colonel} Yes, yes, do as you say. {Colonel} What about Lt. 3rd class Musel? {Colonel} When Lt. 3rd class Musel returns {Colonel} Tell him to come to my room. {Captain} Yes. {Colonel} Does he know it was my doing? {Colonel} What to do? What to do? {Soldier} All right! {Soldier} We won! {Reinhard} Wait for me, Sherda and those who conspire behind him. {Narrator} Space Calendar Year 791 {Narrator} Imperial Calendar Year 482, July {Narrator} Imperial military's Bedelien base on planet Kapche-Lanka {Narrator} Suffered a surprise attack by the Free Planet Alliance army, and suffered heavy damages. {Narrator} But, because of Lt. 3rd class Reinhard and the actions of others {Narrator} The situation was reversed. {Narrator} Successfully repelling the enemy attack. # End song "Explanation".
