ID-0 (2017) s01e05 Episode Script

1 Miguel Jump sequence complete.
We're out in normal space.
Deploying spatial mesh with Vega as the base coordinate.
Warp coordinates within expected range.
Clair, get the advance Orichalt torpedo ready for another launch.
Girlie, where's the satellite pursuing that's us? Based on visual observation data, it doesn't appear to have followed us through the warp.
Distance from our ship is over 100 AU.
It's not moving? Maybe it gave up? Papa! It looks like that satellite is trying to find our location! What a pain in the ass we've attracted! What now? We can't work or accept requests like that.
Ido.
That satellite leaving its planet and coming after us has to be because of her, don't you think? Yeah.
At the very least, there has to be some relation.
Mr.
Ido.
When we touched the Orichalt vein back there, a bunch of images flowed into our brain units, right? I think those were someone's memory information that transferred through Orichalt somehow.
Maybe if we find out whose memories those were we'll have a better picture of the whole chain of events? Someone's memories transferring? From where? Transfer? What memories? What are you talking about, Ido? It's nothing important.
Just some influence on the brain units from contact with Orichalt ore.
But we both saw the same images! There's got to be some connection between those images and her appearing! Her appearing? I don't think I'm your enemy anymore.
If you have any secrets, I want to know.
Well, you see Rick! Yes! Coincidence or not, you're involved in this incident now.
You have a right to know.
Is that alright? Do what you want.
I'll say this in advance, though.
Throw away your common sense.
What is that? Well, when we were checking the Orichalt extracted from that new planet- That's what happened! By the way, this video has not been tampered with in any way.
Why didn't you inform the military about this? They demanded Orichalt.
Nobody said anything about the brat that was inside it.
Did you inspect her body? Obviously.
It would be bad if some unknown virus were to spread through the ship.
Skeleton, internal organs, blood.
Apart from there being trace amounts of silicon in her extra cellular matrix, she's pretty much identical to a human.
Based on Hayflick limit measurement, she appears to be around 4 years old in human age.
Apart from her being unable to speak, she's basically a normal healthy 4-year old girl.
We assume she was inside the Orichalt because of getting involved in a spatial warp somehow, but that doesn't explain how she was able to stay alive She's the one the satellite's after.
That's what you're thinking, right? We're not certain, but the possibility is high.
There aren't any other reasons we can think of.
Just by means of elimination.
While that's not something I can readily accept, if it's the truth, there's a way to deal with this.
We put this girl into a capsule, direct it at the satellite and fire away.
That way it's not going to chase us and we're done.
What? That's awful! That's a pretty simple way of thinking.
What?! The satellite is one thing, but I'm concerned about the military.
What if the people who sent in the orders to catch our ship were after Ore? Ore? Codename.
Hers.
You even gave her a name? And where's the problem in that? The problem is if the military's goal really was Ore.
If you don't know, lieutenant, it might be some dangerous info only the higher-ups have access to.
We can't let our trump card go so easily.
Trump card? We can use her in negotiations.
Captain! She's alive! She's young and fragile! Aren't we supposed to protect her from harm? Using her in negotiatons- Girlie.
I'm no god, and I'm not almighty.
I'm just a military man who got fired.
But you see, I don't want to lose my ship, body or crew members.
And to protect those, I'll do anything.
You hear me?! Anything! You didn't have to be so hard on her.
Leave her alone.
We don't need anything but cold, hard reason on this ship.
So, Pops, what are we going to do in the end? It's obvious, isn't it? Go towards the Miguel Net territory through the shortest route while staying wary of the military and the satellite.
Maintaining the status quo, then.
So the boring days are gonna continue, then? Listen here, girlie.
Say as many pretty words as you'd like, they're pointless if you don't have a proper plan.
Can't you even understand that, you brat? That was bad I couldn't think of a single word in response I really haven't done anything Here you go.
Guess there's no time to be moping around.
I have to do what I have to do.
And what I can do right now is For starters, the observation data- Extravehicular activity? Who is it? What do you want? I've got a question.
Why don't you have memories? No memories? Trouble during a Mind Trance? Or did your brain unit take damage? I have no memories, how am I supposed to talk about my past? In that case, when did you regain consciousness? 7 years ago, on an exile ship.
An exile ship? They only send A-class criminals on those.
Looks like it.
For what crime? I keep telling you, I don't remember.
When I awakened, I was already aboard the exile ship.
I had feelings and knowledge, it was just my memories that were entirely lacking Not even able to remember my own name, with the ID proving my existence gone too.
Going off the machine production time, I was probably imprisoned as an I-machine for more than 20 years.
After I regained consciousness, continued being there, unable to meet anyone.
What am I? What crime did I commit? Why don't I have a body? How long is my sentence? I had endless time to think.
Or rather, there was nothing I could do but think.
There was no answer.
But then those hellish days suddenly ended.
My consciousness Mind Tranced once again and transferred to this machine, stranded in space.
I don't know how, but I do know I escaped the exile ship.
My course was clear from that point onwards.
Without an ID, I'd only be accepted in the criminal world or in life-risking jobs.
And in the end, I ended up drifting here.
You didn't try to find out about your past? Of course I did.
But there weren't records of anyone getting captured in an I-machine.
And without memories, I had no other leads to go off.
So now you're living to find out who you were before? I don't know about that.
What's the point in learning the past now? This body, this mind and the time I've spent living with those are what makes me up now.
Ido the Excavator.
That's my entire being now.
I didn't expect you to answer so in-detail.
There were other people who wanted to hear this, you see.
I didn't mean to Wait, could those images Stop it! Don't look at me Humanity is already Are you saying it's pointless?! I'm sorry! Right now I Your sin! The EM wave observation devices located a specific spectrum.
A specific spectrum? What is it? If you've got an opinion, go on.
Okay.
Ms.
Claire, is it space dust? Yeah.
But there wasn't anything when I checked an hour ago.
What's up with this? Wasn't this supposed to be a safe route? Well there's barely any info on celestial bodies outside the Miguel Net.
Their concentration is thin and cold so they emit little radiation, we probably couldn't detect them because of that.
Normally we'd evade it, but I'd rather not change the orbit to get away from that satellite Find high-density cores and calculate the risk of going through the cloud.
Okay.
Third hangar here, Ido just came back.
Got it.
Oh hey, Amanza's with you too? Now that's shifty.
What were you two doing there? Having a date.
A date, eh.
Wait, what?! Seriously? Hey! Hey! Hey! How come I didn't know? Why didn't you tell me? Are the analysis results ready yet? Oh, yes.
More than 90% of it is hydrogen, the rest is silicon and carbon.
I'm detecting iron too.
The density is thin, but we shouldn't underestimate the kinetic energy if we collide.
I'd refrain from a Miguel Jump- Can we go through? Or not? If we deploy the bumpers to block meteoroids and the magnetic field to repel space dust, we probably can.
You should've said that right away! You were the one who asked me yo calculate risks, captain! We're going through the cloud.
Everyone, standby in the hangars! Got it! Deployment of bumpers towards the ship's course complete! Sealing all bulkheads inside the ship! Release all of the dust caught in the bumpers as propellant.
Even if there are useful resources in them, ignore them! Stulti has entered the cloud.
Bumpers and magnetic field, all green.
Ore, stay there for a while, okay? I'll play with you later.
Ms.
Amanza, please look after her.
Why me? Sorry, there isn't anyone else to ask.
Is that the influence of the forced magnetic field? Papa! Code yellow on the monitoring system! In the 15th block! The hull mass and gravity numbers are changing! Why? Bring up the visual data! The hell is this? Fog? No, sand? Could the space dust have entered the ship? Girlie, analyze it! You don't have to tell me, I'm doing it.
It's the same as that satellite! It's ahead of us? Did a part of the satellite jump? No way! Without Orichalt? How did it jump? I assume there were trace amounts of Orichalt in the space dust that we couldn't detect.
To be able to jump with just trace amounts Did it consciously pulverize itself to reduce the mass of each part? No way.
You telling me that satellite turned to sand and jumped over here? If my guess is right, then the mass that can jump with just trace amounts of Orichalt isn't that big.
But as the time passes, more and more of it will warp here.
Using it as a propellant backfired, huh Clair, close the bumpers.
Let's rely on just the magnetic field to handle the collisions.
Don't let any more of it into the ship.
Got it! Girlie, how much until we're out of here? If we change our route, the shortest it will take is 23 minutes.
Where's the sand heading? Straight towards the gravity-enabled quarters! It really is after that brat then.
Isn't that bad? The bulkheads are sealed, that sand shouldn't get through.
Hey! It's moving! There are no changes to the hull mass! From sand to elementary particle level It's using quantum tunneling to pass.
It's out! At this rate, that girl will- Ms.
Amanza! Answer please! Ms.
Amanza! Lieutenant Amanza! Can you hear me? Lieutenant! Shit! The comms are Where are you going? To protect that girl! Is that wrong? I can get to their room before the sand if I go now! That's crazy, Maya! Go! Mr.
Ido? Head towards the escape shuttle in the 24th block.
We'll make the rest work out somehow.
I'm counting on you! Somehow? What are we supposed to do? We can't get into the human-sized blocks! There's a way.
Help me out.
The time? It's alright.
We're going to the 24th block! Follow me! What is it- Hurry up! What do you mean, a part of the satellite has entered the ship? I'm saying,- That's- It's faster than predicted! Here! Maya and the rest are leaving the gravity-enabled block.
Hey! Ido! Just a bit more! Let's hurry! The escape shuttle? You want to get outside? Mr.
Ido said to.
He did? It formed into a solid object? It can do even that? If it's after this girl, let's leave her here.
We can't do that! There aren't any other choices! There are! Uh, well, strictly speaking, for me there aren't any, but he said it'd work out somehow It's coming! Run! That voice! Mr.
Ido? Did you Trance into the automatic maintenance machines? We're only 1/5th connected with them, though.
Based on the change in hull mass, only this part entered the ship.
Let's stop it! Got it! Did it! It can run away like that? That's just cheating! Next plan, Grayman! Leave it to me! Maya and the rest, grab onto something! We're releasing the shuttle! Suddenly like that! Close your eyes! Breathe all the air out! Hold tight, okay! Okay! Collision course! Mind Out! No way! No! No! No! No Too late I had to protect her, but I couldn't do anything She's alive? Alive? How? What is going on? Come here, Alice.
Alice.
Was that my voice? From back when I had a body? It called you Alice.
It called you Alice.
What's with him? To find something I've given up on and tried forgetting in a place like this That's right.
You are My past! It's been so long since we left our home behind Drifting on the Milky Way almost every single day Where am I supposed to go? What're we really looking for? Stumbling in the darkness, cold and lost But a ray of hope still exists in my heart Rain or shine, always chase the dream Someday we'll fly across the sky, never fearing anything We'll promise that we will go on Even if you're against the wind, never stop! Don't look back! We'll one day rise above it all (Never give up) Who cares? Oh, if the going's tough Never think, keep pushing on! We can find our promised land! Well, you see, I don't want you to go overboard.
You're an important employee too, girlie.
I'm sorry, Maya.
My papa is pretty rough with words.
Forgive him, alright? Forgive him? I thought I was the one hated here The other way around! Papa was really worried that you hated him.
That's how it is! Well, uh, let's get along! As fellow miners in the same space! Sure! Wait, I'm still a student! Isn't that fine? No it's not! Alice.
If there's a meaning in that name, what will that pull of the trigger call? What will it lead to? When the messenger who calls himself Observer opens the gates of hell, the thirst lying in the dark begins to move.
