Ekusu makina (Appleseed Saga: Ex Machina AKA Appleseed 2) Page #3

---

Leaders from all over the world are arriving now...

...amid both fanfare and heavy security.

All cyborgs have been cleared from the premises, sir.

Continuing security checks.

Deunan, time to go.

Right.

- What's wrong?

About the other night, I--

Sorry.

- Ah, don't worry about it.

You and I are gonna be partners,

aren't we?

No matter what happens between us,

I got you.

And I got you.

You'll have to be faster than that.

This worldwide peace summit

and conference of dignitaries...

...may very well forge our future.

Never before have so many people....

Ladies and gentlemen,

we will now open discussions to the floor.

Prime Minister Athena is in. We are green.

Okay.

All units, look alive. Here we go.

Looks like it's starting.

All right. Let's hope nothing happens.

Don't sweat it, partner.

If the sh*t hits the fan,

E-S.W.A.T. will handle it.

Hell, that's why they pay us the big bucks,

isn't it?

And by merging

each country's satellite systems...

...we will create a unified

global communications network.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we believe this will quell conflicts...

...and terrorist attacks

before they ever happen...

...helping ensure peace

for future generations.

Obviously, this was simply an overview

of the proposed global security network.

For the good of mankind, I urge you all...

...to place your countries' satellites

under Olympus' control.

The recent terrorist incident

that occurred in our country...

...was handled by the Olympus E-S.W.A.T.

in a very expeditious manner.

A truly secure network, as you propose,

would require full cooperation of every--

My country already has the means

to protect itself from terrorism...

...without having to rely on

Olympus' support.

Or perhaps your country might have things

you don't want anyone else to see.

What do you mean?

Would you care to elaborate on that?

Sources indicate that your country

supports several regional conflicts--

That's ridiculous!

How dare you make such an accusation.

Enough of this. Why should Olympus

be in control of the satellite systems?

How do we know bioroids can be trusted?

- I agree.

This discussion

has nothing to do with race.

Captain, I'm detecting

an unidentified data frequency.

From where?

- Multiple signals.

They're everywhere.

All units, be on the alert.

Landmate units,

prepare to move out. Code 3.

All right, Aeacus. Let's move.

You go on ahead.

Just give me a minute, buddy.

I'll be right behind you.

You all right?

I'll be okay.

- Okay.

All right, you can go.

Next.

Hey.

Stop.

Stop. I said stop.

Stop.

- It's not stopping.

We're gonna have to take him out.

Fire. Fire.

Disturbance reported at Gate E-12.

Okay, Aeacus. I'm heading out.

This is Tartaros, Front Gate, A-2.

Unauthorized vehicles

have breached the outer perimeter.

This is Gate F-7.

Our position is also being overrun.

Copy that.

Keep the premises secure at all costs.

Order the Landmates

to start mobilizing now.

Deunan, Tereus,

I need you to back up the police in the area.

Keep the assailants away

from the conference hall.

Yes, sir.

Minister, areas around the conference hall

are under attack.

Suspend proceedings

and ensure your safety.

Nonsense. We will continue.

Unauthorized Landmate. Fire.

It's a construction Landmate.

It's not a cyborg.

What's going on here? It's just--

It's a man.

Deunan. You okay?

Yeah.

What the hell is going on here?

Those aren't cyborgs. They're humans.

You still here?

Better get down there,

sounds like all hell's breaking loose.

What? What's going on?

All will be one. We will all be one.

I am Halcon.

No.

What was that?

- Is it a terrorist?

We must get out of here.

- It's an explosion. Look!

We stop this meeting immediately.

- We should evacuate.

Quiet, please.

Everyone stay calm.

There is no need to panic.

This conference hall is heavily fortified

and you are all safe.

Gentlemen, please return to your seats.

Let us resume the discussion.

Aeacus. What's wrong? Answer me.

Aeacus!

Everyone get back!

- Get out!

Let's get out of here.

Prime minister, we are leaving.

Take a good look!

This is the reality of the world

we now live in.

You all must decide on this proposal

right now.

Or do you want to create

more unnecessary casualties?

Stop! Aeacus!

Briareos!

We gotta get out of here.

All will be one. Do you understand?

Stop it. Aeacus!

Aeacus, no!

Aeacus.

Briareos.

Briareos, I....

What happened?

This thing's a robot.

The frequency's coming from the doves.

Looks like the Tartaros Conference

Hall is stabilized and under control.

Hm? Signal's gone.

Hey. What's happening to them?

The attackers at each

of the gates have been suppressed.

Several casualties

have already been reported.

The unidentified

data frequency seems to have vanished.

The Lord has called

our brother Aeacus home.

Let us pray for his soul.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

May the Lord lead him unto heaven

and grant him...

...eternal rest.

Am I losing it?

Before he died...

...the things I saw....

Impossible.

Maybe I've already lost it.

You worry too much.

Everyone knows

that you did what you had to do.

Salute.

Everything appears

to be working just fine.

Your flesh has melded with the matrix

of the Hecatonchire system so perfectly...

...you're practically a work of art.

Have faith. If this technology doesn't work,

no cyborg is safe from this chaos.

I know what happened to Aeacus

came as a terrible shock...

...but something like that

could never happen to you.

I see.

Thanks, doc.

Briareos.

Do you like this city?

Do you believe Olympus truly is a utopia

that's worthy of risking your life?

I don't know.

But what I do know is that as long as

there's someone in this city I care about...

...l intend to protect it.

Sacrifice and love, huh?

In all my years, I have found those ideals

led only to human anguish.

Wouldn't you agree?

No, I don't.

Not always.

Oh, but it does.

Although the peace conference...

...was temporarily disrupted

by an organized attack...

...discussions ended successfully

with regard to its primary topic...

...allowing world leaders to move one step

closer towards unifying satellite systems.

As a result of our debate

at the Olympus Assembly...

...we will resume normal trade

with Poseidon...

...with one notable exception.

Certain cyborg parts.

Thank you, prime minister,

for your consideration.

I'll let our headquarters know

immediately.

We've received the latest report

on the attack at Tartaros Conference Hall.

There's something that concerns me.

- What is it?

According to this, one of the rioters

was reported to have said, "l am Halcon."

What? That's impossible.

I-- Halcon is nothing more

than a memory.

There's no way they could be involved.

ID verified.

Thank you.

Need a partner?

I have a partner.

Just not the one you used to have.

Whoa. Not bad there, kid.

- Ooh.

Not bad for a copy.
