: Why did you not self-destruct the Thrudgelmir and take the Irregulars with you?
: (.........)
: (.........)
: (.........)
: I am... your guardian. If I had self-destructed there... I would be unable to protect you...
: You are not my only guardian.
: Yes. Magus has us by her side.
: (.........)
: Listen, Sanger... You are my sword. Swords are meant to destroy their enemies. That is the reason you have been given the Thrudgelmir. Have you forgotten that?
: (.........)
: ...Our mission as the Ancestors is to protect this Earth. As such, those who contaminate its environment, Man, must be completely wiped out. For that purpose, what is it that you must do?
: ...Gh... ugh...
: ...Agh... urgh...!
: Magus...!
: (.........)
: Gaaah......!
: Are you all right, Magus...?
: ...No problems. An old memory temporarily resurfaced and acted as interference, it seems...
: (.........)
: (.........)
: ...Sanger, your duty is to become my sword, and to die as my shield. Do not forget that...
: Un... der... stood...
: (.........)
[SCENE CHANGE]
: Since that incident, she's shown no particular signs of change.
: ...Sanger is one thing, but for even Magus to reload her past memories...
: This never happened the last time we fought the underground forces.
: I suppose it must be contact with humans from the same time that caused this...
: You don't think Magus would recover her old personality, do you?
: (.........) ...That cannot possibly happen.
: Which means Sanger is the greater danger, hm?
: Are you implying he could rebel again, like last time...?
: If Sanger isn't brought under complete control before fighting the underground forces, it could become rather troublesome.
: (.........)
[SCENE CHANGE]
: The Atmospheric Modification Project will begin soon. I should make things right for myself before then.
: Right, sir...?
: With with the leader of our Mycenae Empire, the Emperor of Darkness, having been missing... We're currently guests of Emperor Gore... With the Dinosaur Empire's final plan so close to fruition, what is it that we can do...?
: (.........)
: Yes... Remove the obstacles to the project's success.
: But, that would be something done in cooperation with the Dinosaur Empire's troops...
: Now that the Ancestors have begun to move, the Dinosaur Empire's forces can't leave Machineland...
: (.........)
: Gorgon! As both a general and a warrior, I have pride and spirit... To wipe away my past disgrace as a Mycenae general, I must crush the humans with my own hands...!
: General Dark...
: Besides, if I defeat the humans, Emperor Gore will treat the remaining Mycenae people favorably.
: General Dark... You have this fully thought out...
: Duke Gorgon... If I don't return... Until the day the Dinosaur Empire reclaims the surface, you must lead the surviving Mycenae people.
: (.........)
: What did you say...?
: I am also a proud warrior who has led the Mycenae since Director Argos and the Seven Generals' deaths. It is my duty to hold the front lines and defeat the humans by my own hands.
: (.........)
: (.........)
: You're going...?
: Yes, sir!
[SCENE CHANGE]
: Yes. In the Space Era, the Earth Cradle was believed to be underground somewhere in Africa.
: Now that you mention it... Before we went to Dakar, there was a strange reading underground...
: Which means the Earth Cradle in this time is also likely to be in Africa... or rather, in Gallia.
: (.........)
: Crush their main base before the Ancestors make their move, hm...
: They probably plan to disseminate Machine Cells into inhabited areas to make the human race extinct. Before that happens, we must find the Earth Cradle at all costs.
: But... What do we do about the Dinosaur Empire?
: Yeah. Forget inhabited areas, those guys could be planning to destroy the whole planet's surface.
: But we still have yet to establish Machineland's position. I've judged that in this situation, we should go after the Ancestors, whose base we can actually locate.
: (.........)
: (.........)
The alarms go off!
: What type and affiliation!?
: They're... mobile suits, sir! They're not with the Diana Counter or the Militia!
: What'd you say...!?
: It couldn't be...!
: They seem to be launching an attack on us!
: All hands, to level 1 battle stations! All units, emergency scramble!!
