The Attacker's Identity[edit]
Noah
What's this now?!
Lanz
Seriously? More of those mudders, come to ruin our day again?!
Sena
Let's ruin theirs first!
Mimi!
Mimi!
Noah
Incoming!
Taion
A tactical retreat?
Noah
Lanz!
Lanz
Yeah, I got it!
Sena! Hit 'em where it hurts, will ya?
Sena! Hit 'em where it hurts, will ya?
Sena
What the...?
What's going on here...?
What's going on here...?
Noah
Who is this girl...? Where did she come from? For a soldier, she's awfully, uhm...
Eunie
...Yeah, I know what you mean. She looks about three terms old. Way too young to be fighting on the front lines.
Lanz
Not to derail the convo, but are we sure she'll be OK? We pulled her outta the Lev, but is there anything else we can do?
Taion
I don't see any external injuries, but no signs of waking up either. ...Hard to tell either way.
Sena
...
Mio
Sena, don't worry. She's still alive, I'm sure she'll pull through.
Sena
Mimi... You sure...?
Eunie
Look, we can talk about her all day, or we can find her a doctor. I know which one I'd prefer.
Taion
All right, but she and her people did assault Colony soldiers, so taking her to a Colony seems like asking for trouble.
Noah
Then how about the City? They have medical facilities there.
Taion
...Indeed, seems advisable.
Lanz
What do we do about the Levnis?
Noah
Let's leave it for now. Transporting the girl should take priority.
Sena
...Um, I can carry her!
Mio
Thanks, Sena. She'll be in good hands.
Sena
Yeah, I'll make sure of it!
Doctor!
Doctor!
Hollis
Oh, it's you. What's got you in such a flurry?
Sena
Here, let me tell you...
Hollis
Hrm... Well, it seems she's simply temporarily lost consciousness as the result of a blow to the head.
Sena
Oh... So, does that mean she'll be OK...?
Hollis
Yes, it's a passing symptom. With a bit of rest, she should come awake naturally.
Sena
Phew, that's a relief...
Hollis
Until she does, I'd like to keep her here for observation...
Sena
Ah! Wait! That's not really necessary...
Hollis
...Seems like there might be a reason for your reluctance, hmm?
Sena
N-no, it's just that, she's, uhm... Er...
Hollis
Oh dear...
There's an empty house tucked away in a quiet corner of the City. I'll send word to let you use it.
There's an empty house tucked away in a quiet corner of the City. I'll send word to let you use it.
Sena
Doctor...
Hollis
The patient will be transferred there. The rest is up to you, hm?
...I hope you'll find this agreeable?
...I hope you'll find this agreeable?
Sena
Ah! Yes! Thanks so much! You're a life-saver! Ah, more than usual, I mean!
Hollis
If anything happens, you know where to find me. Well, take care now.
Doctor's Aide
Ah, you're here.
About the girl we transferred here... She's just woken up.
About the girl we transferred here... She's just woken up.
Sena
Whoa! Really?
Doctor's Aide
Yeah. Although, I should say, she's a little, uhm...
Taion
Were there any complications?
Doctor's Aide
...No, nothing like that. Or at least, nothing to complain to you about.
Eunie
You're not making sense, and it's getting me antsy...
Doctor's Aide
The doctor said she didn't need any medical attention, and... You know what, why don't you just talk to her yourselves.
Just bear in mind, she's still a patient, so take it easy on her, eh?
Just bear in mind, she's still a patient, so take it easy on her, eh?
Taion
Seems at least they kept her safe... But now what?
Eunie
Yeah, it ain't like we can just leave her here forever...
Noah
Let's talk to her first, like he said. We should try to learn more.
Lanz
All right, but she's recently injured. We probably shouldn't all crowd her.
Mio
You're right. If we're just asking questions, one person should be enough.
Taion
That sounds like a plan. So who'll go?
Lanz
Surely it's Eunie, right? She deals with injured people all the time, she should be right at home.
Eunie
Oh yeah? Cheers for volunteering me.
Sena
...I'll go.
Mio
You, Sena? Why the sudden impulse?
Sena
Well... It's probably my fault she's like this...
Lanz
It was really more like an accident, y'know. There's no need for you to feel responsible.
Sena
It's not that exactly, it's more like... If I don't do something, erm, I...
...I'll have a dirty con...con... con-science?
...I'll have a dirty con...con... con-science?
Taion
You've never heard that word out loud, have you?
Sena
Gah...
Noah
Well then, we'll leave the girl to you. Is that all right, Sena?
Sena
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Eunie
Do be careful though.
She might be meek now, but keep in mind she and her mates came after us.
She might be meek now, but keep in mind she and her mates came after us.
Mio
We'll be right outside. If anything happens, just shout.
Sena
I can handle myself, Mimi. But thanks, I will.
OK then, I'm going in.
Ah...!
OK then, I'm going in.
Ah...!
(Segiri)
...
Sena
Uh, um... Hi! I-I see you've woken up!
(Segiri)
...
Sena
How are you feeling? Any pain?
(Segiri)
Can confirm faint sensation of pain in cranial region. However, operational efficiency of No. 7 remains unaffected.
Sena
Whuh?! Ah, O-OK... That's...good...?
Actually, I'd, uhm... I'd like to apologize...
Actually, I'd, uhm... I'd like to apologize...
(Segiri)
...
Sena
Before, I didn't realize you were inside that thing, and...
(Segiri)
...
Sena
...Erm, are you OK?
(Segiri)
No major issues detected.
Sena
I-I see...
A-anyway, if it's all right with you, could you tell me something about yourself?
A-anyway, if it's all right with you, could you tell me something about yourself?
(Segiri)
The question lacks specificity. No. 7 cannot respond.
Sena
Oh, I'm really sorry! I-I guess that was a bit wishy-washy, huh... Well, for starters, then...
Are you a Kevesi soldier? Or are you Agnian?
Are you a Kevesi soldier? Or are you Agnian?
(Segiri)
Keves... Agnus...
Sena
Yeah, that's right. You must know those, right?
(Segiri)
Affirmative. However, discrepancy was encountered while processing query.
Sena
...Huh? What do you mean?
(Segiri)
Affiliation of No. 7 does not match either of two options provided.
Sena
Doesn't match...? Well then, that only leaves...
(Segiri)
Special mobile combat unit under direct Moebius command, alias...Colony 0.
Sena
...Whoa! You know about Moebius?!
(Segiri)
Affirmative.
Sena
Then, when you attacked us...
(Segiri)
Colony 0 soldiers of numbers 7 and below were tasked with eradication of Ouroboros.
Sena
Wh-whoa, that's...not great.
So this girl really *is* our enemy... I have to warn the others...!
...Although... Is that really true?
She did attack us... So why is she like this now...?
Uhm, what you just told me... It sounded really important. Won't you get in trouble for saying it?
So this girl really *is* our enemy... I have to warn the others...!
...Although... Is that really true?
She did attack us... So why is she like this now...?
Uhm, what you just told me... It sounded really important. Won't you get in trouble for saying it?
(Segiri)
I was not ordered to silence on the matter.
Sena
I, I see, OK...
Oh, shoot, I forgot to introduce myself!
My name is Sena. What's yours?
Oh, shoot, I forgot to introduce myself!
My name is Sena. What's yours?
(Segiri)
I have no name.
Sena
...Huh?
(Segiri)
No. 7 does not possess information under the category "name".
Sena
You don't have a name...?
Wait, so this "number seven" thing you've been saying all along...?
Wait, so this "number seven" thing you've been saying all along...?
No. 7
An individual identification number assigned to soldiers of Colony 0.
We do not belong to Keves or Agnus. We are special assets. Publicly we do not exist.
Consequently, records of personal information stored in growth modules are also expunged at the time of birth.

Consequently, records of personal information stored in growth modules are also expunged at the time of birth.
Sena
That's...crazy...
No. 7
Shall I consider the questioning to be over?
Sena
No, wait! What you just said... You don't think it's strange?
No. 7
Cannot ascertain purpose of question. Requesting additional clarification.
Sena
I mean, for example... That name thing! A Colony that calls people by a number, that's so dehumanizing...
Don't you feel bad to be called like that? I mean, you're the same as us after all...
Don't you feel bad to be called like that? I mean, you're the same as us after all...
No. 7
Cannot ascertain purpose of question.
Sena
(sniff) Ohh...
No. 7
Requesting clarification.
Sena
(sobbing)
Lanz
Sena? ...Hey, you OK?
Eunie
Did you learn anything? ...Hang on, love, you don't look so good.
Mio
What happened, Sena?
Sena
Mimi, I... I...! I don't know what to do...
Noah
Hey, Sena, everything's fine. Let's go somewhere we can talk. Is that all right?
Sena
Y-yeah, sure...
Noah
"Colony 0"...? Wow, they did seem like more than regular soldiers, but that's wild...
Eunie
If they're palling around with Moebius, we can't really ignore them, I suppose.
Taion
We still have very little information. I think a more thorough investigation is in order.
Lanz
OK, but we're talking about a tiny third-termer here.
Sena
(sigh)
Mio
Sena, what do you think?
Sena
Huh? Wh-what do I think about what?
Mio
You're the one that spoke with her. What's your gut telling you?
Sena
I just... I just asked questions, and she just answered them.
But... Even though she attacked us, she doesn't seem hostile, or violent...
And when I spoke to her, she was literally just answering questions, it didn't feel like a conversation at all...
She looks like us, but is actually a whole different kind of being... That's how I felt... a-and then I got scared of her, and...

Mio
Aw, I'm sorry Sena...
Noah
Sena, give us your honest opinion. Do you think she's an enemy?
Sena
...I don't really know yet. That's kind of why I...
I'd like to try talking to her again, I think.
I'd like to try talking to her again, I think.
Lanz
Whaddya mean? You just said you were scared of her.
Sena
I am, it's true, but... I want to make sure I got the right idea, and that's stronger than my fear.
Not just about if she's an enemy, but also about who she actually is, how she thinks and feels...
Not just about if she's an enemy, but also about who she actually is, how she thinks and feels...
Lanz
...I get it. You'd need a bit more time for that, sure.
Sena
Right. I also want to say sorry for leaving without saying anything, last time...
Eunie
OK then, if you're doing a house visit and apologizing at once, how about a little gift to grease the wheels?
Mio
Oh! Sena, you could bring her your onigiri!
Noah
Onigiri?
Taion
It's a portable Agnian snack, made of packed boiled mythrice.
Mio
They're lovely and salty, especially the way Sena makes them! They really hit the spot after a long training session.
Lanz
Huh, you can make food...?
Sena
O-of course I can! ...Onigiri at least.
Oh, wait... But we don't have any mythrice...
Oh, wait... But we don't have any mythrice...
Taion
They should have decent reserves in Colony Lambda.
Eunie
Hey, nice! ...No, hang on, how did you know that off the top of your head?
Taion
...Commander Isurd likes them. The onigiri.
Lanz
Well, that's just peachy then. Hope he doesn't mind sharing.
Sena
...Thanks, you guys!
Lambda Soldier
You want mythrice? Sure, I don't mind. Feel free to grab some if you like.
We're close to the water here, so the harvest's always good quality.
We're close to the water here, so the harvest's always good quality.
Sena
Huh! I never knew...
Lambda Soldier
If you ever need more, just holler at your boy.
Sena
Now we only need a place to cook...
They taste best when they're fresh, so maybe we could use the canteen in the City?
Man, I haven't made onigiri in a minute... Hope I can still shape them right!
Ahh, that's nice! Now, let's take them to our patient.

Taion
Sena, wait. This time around we'd like to sit in on the conversation too.
Sena
Huh? But I thought...
Lanz
No worries, we'll hang back and watch. We're happy to let you do the talking.
Sena
Um, OK then, if you say so...
Hey, sorry to intrude... Can we have a moment?
Hey, sorry to intrude... Can we have a moment?
No. 7
No objections. You wish to resume questioning.
Sena
No, that's not why I'm here. It's just that last time, I was kinda rude...
So to apologize, I thought I'd visit again and bring you a little something.
So to apologize, I thought I'd visit again and bring you a little something.
No. 7
...!
Sena
I figured you might be hungry. They're called onigiri...
No. 7
Yes.
Sena
I'm not very good at this, so they're about the only thing I can make...
No. 7
...Yes.
Sena
But I can guarantee they're tasty, and actually Mimi says so too... Ah, Mimi, I mean Mio, she's...
No. 7
...Yes.
Sena
...Oh, sorry, my bad! Please, feel free to eat.
No. 7
I will eat.
Sena
How about it, then...?
No. 7
Cannot affertain... purpofe of...queftion...
Sena
Are they tasty? Did I make them right?
No. 7
With regard to...firft queftion... No. 7 confiderf..."tafty" to be accurate...affeffment.
Sena
Oh, r-really? That's good to hear!
No. 7
In regard to...fecond, application of manual preffure...refulted in compaction and higher cohesion. Alfo showing...excess salt levelf...
Sena
Oh... No, wait, that's the best part! Isn't it nice and chewy?
No. 7
(gulp)... Affirmative.
Sena
...Huh?
No. 7
No. 7 has not taken sustenance in this form before.
Currently considering that others of Colony 0 may also enjoy the experience.
Currently considering that others of Colony 0 may also enjoy the experience.
Sena
...Oh, you think so?
No. 7
Particularly No. 9 seemed to be growing disaffected with the rations being distributed...
And No. 3, whose calorie intake exceeds the baseline, may find these more sating...
As a precaution, salt levels may have to be marginally adjusted pursuant to guidance from No. 6...

Sena
...
No. 7
Hm? Is there a problem?
Sena
No, no, it's nothing. Oh, but if it's OK with you, could I ask you to tell me more?
No. 7
Acknowledged. Continuing explanation.
Sena
So, were the onigiri tasty?
No. 7
You already have a sufficient reply to this question.
Sena
Have you come to like the onigiri I made?
No. 7
Affirmative.
Sena
Well, that's good then. I'll make them for you again sometime.
No. 7
Yes.
Lanz
...Well she eats like normal, and she can handle small talk.
Eunie
Yeah, there's nothing suspicious about her. ...Except she talks funny, but whatever.
Mio
Let's let Sena keep her talking for a bit longer.
Sena
Hey, you said you didn't have a name.
No. 7
Recollection of making such a statement exists.
Sena
Well, then... What about "Segiri"?
No. 7
Hmmm.
Sena
...Uh?
No. 7
Perhaps this is some sort of code or cipher.
Sena
No, I'm just... I was asking what you thought about "Segiri" for a name.
No. 7
Cannot follow logic behind query. Requesting more rational explanation.
Sena
You're using difficult words again... I just didn't want to keep only calling you "you".
No. 7
The designation "No. 7" is...
Sena
Right! I just took the "se-" part from "seven" and tacked on the "giri" from "onigiri". "Segiri"!
No. 7
Failure to comprehend basis for utilizing this nomenclature.
Sena
Well, it's 'cause... You said you liked onigiri, just then...
Lanz
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Sena... Don't you think you're taking it a bit far?
Eunie
Yeah, love... Did you lose your brain at the gym or something?
Taion
I'm sorry, Sena. I don't think I see what you're after here.
Sena
Whoa, when did everyone get so mean? I think it's a great name, "Segiri"...
Noah
Y-yeah, I think so too, actually. It seems really, uh, friendly, somehow...
Mio
Ahaha! It's not really like you to come out with something like this, Sena.
Sena
R-really...? ...Well, maybe so...
But Mimi, I don't think it's right to... call a person by a number...
But Mimi, I don't think it's right to... call a person by a number...
No. 7
...
Sena
Hey, I'm sorry, I let my mouth run away from me. I understand if you felt hurt by it.
No. 7
...Regulations contain no special provisions on restricting designation.
Sena
Huh?
No. 7
No. 7 has no authority based on which to reject proposed designations, whatever they may be.
Sena
...Does that mean we can call you "Segiri", and you won't mind?
Segiri
...Affirmative.
Eunie
Well, there you have it then, affirmative.
Mio
Nicely done, Sena.
Sena
Yeah, thanks!
The girl might still be a total mystery,
but really, it wouldn't have been right to call her "number seven"...
The girl might still be a total mystery,
but really, it wouldn't have been right to call her "number seven"...
Segiri
...!
Sena
What happened?
Segiri
...A coded transmission from Colony 0.
The Moebius Consul F is requesting parley with the Ouroboros.
The Moebius Consul F is requesting parley with the Ouroboros.
Noah
The Moebius is requesting what...?!
Segiri
No. 7 will use own Iris as relay to forward the transmission to you.
Consul F
A pleasure to make your acquaintance, my young Ouroboros friends.
I am F, and before we go further, I would like to sincerely apologize for the discourtesy of this method of introduction.
I am F, and before we go further, I would like to sincerely apologize for the discourtesy of this method of introduction.
Eunie
Ugh, what a shameless slug. He thinks we'll forget he tried to kill us?
Taion
You say you want to parley. How do you imagine that will go, at this point...?
Consul F
I am certain you will feel guarded, and rightly so.
And yet, with that acknowledged, I would like to offer an opening of negotiations with you.
And yet, with that acknowledged, I would like to offer an opening of negotiations with you.
Mio
Negotiations?
Consul F
Should you accept my invitation, I will rescind the extermination order on you Ouroboros.
Colony 0 will henceforth no longer concern itself with your comings and goings.
Colony 0 will henceforth no longer concern itself with your comings and goings.
Lanz
Oh, that'd be swell! ... If we were stupid enough to trust your word.
Noah
And your demands?
Consul F
...The bodily return of No. 7.
Sena
Huh...?
Noah
...And that's it? That's all it would take for you to never fight with us again?
Consul F
Yes. You have my guarantee, and that of the whole of Colony 0.
Eunie
Are you joking? You're Moebius. You'd throw away one or two soldiers without batting an eye.
Consul F
Certainly, some Consuls do display such callousness. A deplorable state of affairs...
But not I. I hold the light of life possessed by Colony 0 to be of the utmost importance.
Naturally, that includes No. 7.
That is precisely why I have reached out to you, nominally my enemies, even with the concomitant difficulties acknowledged.
But not I. I hold the light of life possessed by Colony 0 to be of the utmost importance.
Naturally, that includes No. 7.
That is precisely why I have reached out to you, nominally my enemies, even with the concomitant difficulties acknowledged.
Sena
Are you telling the truth?
Lanz
C'mon Sena, don't fall for it...
Sena
Can you give us a guarantee that you aren't lying to us right now?
Consul F
Of course! ...Is what I would love to say, but naturally, simple words are never enough to engender trust, I know.
I have sent the current coordinates of Colony 0 to No. 7.
We shall remain here. Should you find yourselves receptive to my offer, do please pay us a visit, and bring No. 7 with you.
I have sent the current coordinates of Colony 0 to No. 7.
We shall remain here. Should you find yourselves receptive to my offer, do please pay us a visit, and bring No. 7 with you.
Noah
So you think giving us your location will make us trust you?
Taion
How do we know this isn't a trap?
Consul F
In such a circumstance, you would possess a handy hostage in No. 7. I trust I needn't say more?
Lanz
Ugh... Has this guy heard the way he sounds?
Consul F
Of course, that is not what any of us really want. My desire is to see No. 7 safely returned to me. That is all.
...No. 7.
...No. 7.
No. 7
Yes.
Consul F
I am tasking you with guiding them to Colony 0. Follow their command until your return.
No. 7
Compliance.
Consul F
...And, No. 7?
No. 7
Yes.
Consul F
We've all been worried about you.
No. 7
...
Consul F
That will be all. I will eagerly anticipate the day when we meet in more favorable circumstances.
Segiri
By the Consul's authority, No. 7 is hereby assigned to the Ouroboros' command as an exceptional measure for the duration.
Pending your decision on the outcome of the proposed exchange, I await your command to depart.
Pending your decision on the outcome of the proposed exchange, I await your command to depart.
Noah
Well, this was...unexpected.
Sena
Segiri... What do we do with you...?
Segiri
Pending your decision on the outcome of the proposed exchange, I await your command to depart.
Sena
(sigh)
What do we do?
Give Segiri the order
Think it over some more
Give Segiri the order
Think it over some more
Lanz
Wait, are you serious? You really trust that Consul?
Sena
Of course I don't, not entirely. I know it could be a trap, as well. But still...
If... And this is a big "if", OK? If he was telling the truth earlier, then we won't have to fight with Segiri and her friends...
And more importantly, I'm sure there are people waiting for her there...
So for all those reasons, I thought...
If... And this is a big "if", OK? If he was telling the truth earlier, then we won't have to fight with Segiri and her friends...
And more importantly, I'm sure there are people waiting for her there...
So for all those reasons, I thought...
Noah
...Well, either way, things can't stay like this forever.
Taion
Rather than make speculation after speculation and do nothing, you want to set something in motion.
Mio
It's also possible, if unlikely, that we might be able to talk it through...
Noah
All right. Can you tell us where Colony 0 is right now?
Segiri
Aetia region, Captocorn Peak.
Sena
Huh? Wait, isn't that...?
Eunie
That's where we fought against those guys, ain't it?
Segiri
The point where Colony 0 is stationed is located even further in.
Lanz
That explains why you were lying in wait for us there.
Segiri
However. The geographical feature called the "Nocclia Mire" is located en route.
Entering it is predicted to have severe negative impact on your biological processes.
Entering it is predicted to have severe negative impact on your biological processes.
Mio
Then how do you guys get through?
Segiri
A Ferron's environmental hazard resistance can temporarily neutralize poisonous materials.
Sena
What's a "Ferron"...? ...Oh, is that the thing you were riding inside?
Segiri
Affirmative.
Consequently, traversal through the afflicted area will necessitate retrieval and refurbishing of the abandoned Ferron suit.
Consequently, traversal through the afflicted area will necessitate retrieval and refurbishing of the abandoned Ferron suit.
Noah
We can ask Riku to fix it up. Will that be OK with you?
Segiri
No objections.
Riku
Oh, if Riku must. Will not leave friends in lurch.
Sena
All right then. Just be patient for us a little while longer, OK, Segiri?
Segiri
Compliance.
Noah
How does it look, Riku? Can you get it in working order?
Riku
...It look like problem mostly cosmetic. Riku have it working in no time flat.
Annnd ready. Riku proud of own handiwork.
Annnd ready. Riku proud of own handiwork.
Sena
And how does it look to you? Can you still use it?
Segiri
Power lines clear. All sensors online. ...Ferron unit No. 7, fully operational.
Sena
That...sounds good? Are you ready to guide us?
Segiri
Understood. Designating route.
Segiri has temporarily joined the party.
Consul F
Welcome, friends. I have been hoping you would come.
Noah
We've brought your soldier, as you asked. So what now?
Consul F
Hmm... No. 7 seems uninjured. Thank you for this magnanimous measure.
As promised, Colony 0's order to eradicate Ouroboros will be rescinded.
You have my word that we will never again darken your doorsteps, figuratively speaking.

You have my word that we will never again darken your doorsteps, figuratively speaking.
Eunie
Hah. Talk is cheap, man.
Consul F
Oh, I assure you, the soldiers of Colony 0 are most faithful. They would never disobey an issued order.
What's more, I personally have nothing but the deepest respect for you all.
After all, you did tend to my dear No. 7, and brought her back to me unscathed...
I offer you my sincere, heartfelt thanks.
What's more, I personally have nothing but the deepest respect for you all.
After all, you did tend to my dear No. 7, and brought her back to me unscathed...
I offer you my sincere, heartfelt thanks.
Lanz
Yeeaah, all right...
Eunie
This doesn't sit right with me...
Consul F
Oh! I have just had the greatest idea. No. 7, you and our guests have traveled long and far to arrive here.
Why don't we introduce them to the rest of the Colony 0 personnel?
Why don't we introduce them to the rest of the Colony 0 personnel?
Segiri
Compliance.
Noah
Uh, I think we're actually fine...
Consul F
Nonsense, no need to be shy.
We need to tie a bond of trust between us, and where better to start than with a round of introductions?
We need to tie a bond of trust between us, and where better to start than with a round of introductions?
Sena
Segiri, are you all right with that?
Segiri
The Consul's word is absolute. No. 7 does not have the prerogative of choice.
Consul F
No. 7, show your face to everyone. I'm sure they'd like that.
No. 4 has also been worried about you.
No. 4 has also been worried about you.
Segiri
...Yes.
Sena
No. 4?
Consul F
No. 4 is No. 7's right-hand man.
With No. 7 absent, he had to take over the reins instead.
With No. 7 absent, he had to take over the reins instead.
Eunie
He means like being an aide, then?
Sena
...Segiri, does that make you the commander?
Segiri
Parts of the definition appear discrepant, but on the whole there are no major issues with that denomination.
Sena
You could've told us, you know...
Segiri
I have no record of the fact being queried.
Noah
You've noticed it too, right, Taion?
Taion
Yeah, and I can't make sense of it. The Consul's attitude is one thing, but more importantly...
Noah
The Ferronis. The one thing a colony needs, and there's no sign of it here.
Or maybe... Maybe it's just something completely different from the colonies we know?
Or maybe... Maybe it's just something completely different from the colonies we know?
Taion
A special unit under direct Moebius command... Were we too hasty, coming here?
Noah
For Sena's sake, and for that girl she trusts, let's hope not.
No. 4
No. 7... I'm relieved to see you back safe.
Segiri
No. 4. No status abnormalities?
No. 4
We're all good here. No. 10 and No. 8 are currently on a mission, but should be back soon.
Segiri
Revising query. Are there status abnormalities in No. 4's condition?
No. 4
A-ah, no, I'm OK. No. 4 can still fight.
Segiri
However...
No. 4
No. 7, you're not at fault. If anything, it's my fault, having such poor abilities in battle.
Without disengaging the Ferron's limiter, I couldn't fight properl-
Uuh...

Segiri
No. 4!
The Husk of No. 4[edit]
Lanz
Wh- What's wrong? What is it?
Eunie
Sparks, you don't think this is...
Mio
His flame's leaking...!
No. 4
I'm cold... No. 7...
Where are...
I can't see a thing...
Where are...
I can't see a thing...
Segiri
(small breath)
Sena
Segiri... What just happened...?
Consul F
No. 4 has given his life to the Ferron.
Lanz
Oi, you'd better explain yourself.
Consul F
The Ferrons are powered by life's flames.
The Flame Clocks that impel them are synchronized to those of their passengers.
The Flame Clocks that impel them are synchronized to those of their passengers.
Taion
Wait, did you say Flame Clocks? Does that make the Ferrons...?
Consul F
Indeed. The design differs, but you could see them as functionally identical to Ferronises.
In addition, Ferron Flame Clocks are fitted with the function to disengage the limiters.
In addition, Ferron Flame Clocks are fitted with the function to disengage the limiters.
Noah
"Disengage the limiters"...?
Consul F
Doing so allows the Ferron to burn through the flames that fuel it at an accelerated rate, maximizing the unit's power output.
Once the limiter is disengaged, a first-term soldier can perform at a level comparable to a colony's commander...
That incandescent power is the pith and marrow of the Ferron's, of Colony 0's might.

Taion
...But what *is* Colony 0, to begin with? Who are you, who are its soldiers?
Consul F
You could say we are those who work behind the scenes of this war.
Battlefield manipulation, inciting sedition, information control, elimination of third party forces...
It's all due to our ceaseless, thankless efforts that this war can continue unabated, and each life's fate arrives as ordained...
In other words, we maintain the fabric of the world. That is the duty which is our pleasure to fulfill.

Taion
Nothing but empty words. That's the reason you put your men in those things?!
Eunie
Well mate, you just showed us your whole arse. I knew you didn't care about the lives of your soldiers after all!
Consul F
Preposterous!
I treasure their lives above any other good! They are, to me, the most exalted substance!
Their immaculate lives, sacrificed in service to the world, permeate it and form the basis of the eternity we Moebius covet...!

Sena
...Stop it.
Consul F
Protecting my innocent lambs whose souls lubricate the gears of the world through a sublime sacrifice - that is the highest calling!
Isn't it the loftiest vocation conceivable? Surely you must agree-
Isn't it the loftiest vocation conceivable? Surely you must agree-
Sena
Shut up already!
Consul F
...Ah, I must beg your pardon. Have I said something to incur your displeasure...?
Sena
Snuff all of that, and snuff you!
How dare you... How could someone like you think for a second you treasure Segiri! You have no right!
We'll bring you down, right here and now... Segiri and everyone will be free from the Flame Clocks!

We'll bring you down, right here and now... Segiri and everyone will be free from the Flame Clocks!
Consul F
...But what in the blazes has brought this on? I told you from the start, I had no intention of fighting you...
Lanz
Have you lost your mind?!
Consul F
...Well, it seems unavoidable, now.
It seems the negotiations have broken down. Truly regrettable, and yet perhaps inevitable...
All Ferron units, heed my call! You are ordered to disengage your limiters.

Segiri
(small gasp)
Consul F
No. 7. Your orders.
Bring all your might to bear and crush the Ouroboros.

Sena
Segiri! Listen! You don't-
Segiri
Compliance.
Commencing Ouroboros annihilation.

Sena
Segiri...
Taion
I know how you must feel... But for now we have to fight, Sena.
Segiri
...All units fall in and stand by.
Eunie
Wh-what's this?
Segiri
Consul, a report.
Consul F
What's the matter, No. 7?
Segiri
Large expenditure of life's flames is forecast, if limiters are disengaged for combat.
Proposal following analysis of all units' flame totals:
Restrict limiter disengagement to unit No. 7.

Restrict limiter disengagement to unit No. 7.
Consul F
Hmm... I see.
Lanz
What...? What's she doing? Trying to get her mates out of fighting?
Sena
(small gasp)
Consul F
...No. 7, I recognize your unparalleled radiance. It brings you honor.
Now behold. By my authority as Consul, I order you:
All Ferron units, disengage limiters!
Now behold. By my authority as Consul, I order you:
All Ferron units, disengage limiters!
Segiri
Huh?
Sena
Segiri!
Eunie
That snuffer! Just when I thought he couldn't go lower!
Consul F
Oh, No. 7...
Truly you are a marvel.
The cry wafting from your spirit, it will water this endless world and make it bloom eternal!

Mio
First off, let's deal with these guys!
Sena
Yeah! Just wait, Segiri...
We'll get you out of this mess, I promise!
We'll get you out of this mess, I promise!
Segiri's Inner Turmoil[edit]
Sena
Lanz!
Lanz
Yeah!
Sena
Segiri, please! Just snap out of it!
You don't have to follow these orders!
Segiri, you're...
free to do what you want!
You don't have to follow these orders!
Segiri, you're...
free to do what you want!
Segiri
Segi-
Free...to...?
Free...to...?
Consul F
Well now...
Hm. What a curious phenomenon.
No. 7, I'm changing your orders.
Kill that Ouroboros first. Top priority.

Segiri
Uck-
Complia-
Complia-
Sena
Don't do it, Segiri!
Consul F
That's an order, No. 7.
Segiri
(groan)
(scream)

Consul F
No. 7? What're you-
(pained grunt)

Sena
Huh...?

Guh... Im...poss...
N-n-No. 7...
N-n-No. 7...
Sena
Segiri!
Are you OK?! Please, talk to me, Segiri!
Are you OK?! Please, talk to me, Segiri!
Segiri
Number...four...
Sena
Huh?
Segiri
No. 4...
Don't go...
No. 7 will protect...

Everyone...
Don't go...

No. 4...
Everyone...
Sena
Noah, please...
For Segiri... For them all...!
For Segiri... For them all...!
Noah
...Right!
Segiri
With the Consul's death in the line of duty, Colony 0's chain of command is broken.
No. 7 currently has no duties to perform, and no orders to follow.
No. 7 currently has no duties to perform, and no orders to follow.
Sena
That means you don't have to fight us any more.
Segiri
However, it is a matter of record that No. 7 took hostile action against Ouroboros.
Perhaps you wish to mete out an appropriate punishment.
Perhaps you wish to mete out an appropriate punishment.
Sena
Segiri, you did nothing wrong! Really, we should be thanking you.
Segiri
Thanking...? Why would...that be?
Sena
I mean... Before, you attacked the Consul instead of us, so...
You held back from fighting us, and thanks to that we were able to take down the Consul.
You held back from fighting us, and thanks to that we were able to take down the Consul.
Segiri
Hmm...
Sena
Anyway, that's enough about that. Now it's time to think to the future, right?
Segiri
...I cannot comprehend.
Sena
Huh?
Segiri
Why do you speak to No. 7 that way? Under what orders, and from whom?
Why did No. 7 disobey orders? Why did I not attack you as instructed?
Requesting swift reply. Furthermore, requesting orders.

Sena
Segiri...
Segiri
No. 7...is confused. I do not know what actions to take.
Sena
...I know what it's like to feel lost, uncertain, not know where to turn.
But even you must have some things you think you'd really like to do, right?
But even you must have some things you think you'd really like to do, right?
Segiri
...No. 7 does not have thoughts matching that description.
Sena
In that case, let's put our heads together! Let's think of things you might wanna do.
Segiri
...Is that an order?
Sena
Nuh-uh. Nobody's giving you orders any more.
From now on, Segiri... The only orders you should follow are your own.
From now on, Segiri... The only orders you should follow are your own.
Segiri
(gasp)
...The situation described does not conform to the accepted definition of "orders".
...The situation described does not conform to the accepted definition of "orders".
Sena
I-it was just like a metaphor! Or... Or was it a simile...?
Segiri
I really cannot comprehend.
Sena
Uhh...
Segiri
But although I cannot comprehend...
"Segiri gives orders to No. 7."
If the circumstances be interpreted this way, then Segiri...I...may be able to comprehend.
"Segiri gives orders to No. 7."
If the circumstances be interpreted this way, then Segiri...I...may be able to comprehend.
Sena
Oh, Segiri...
Segiri
Is it...odd?
Sena
...No, I don't think so. I'm sure it's exactly right.
Since after all, you're free now.
So, Segiri? What are your orders for "No. 7"?
Since after all, you're free now.
So, Segiri? What are your orders for "No. 7"?
Segiri
Top priority should be to investigate what it is that I "want to do". More data must be gathered before this is ascertained.
Sena
Ahahah... That sounds very like you, but I think you're making it too complicated.
It doesn't have to be just one thing, and it can be anything, really!
It doesn't have to be just one thing, and it can be anything, really!
Segiri
It can be...anything?
Sena
Yep, anything at all.
Segiri
In that case...
Sena
Yes? Did you think of something?
Segiri
Right now... I think I'd like... one of your onigiri...Sena.
Noah
By the way, I wanted to ask about the Ferron... I suppose there's no way to use them any more?
Segiri
That statement is incorrect.
Sena
Oh, really?
Segiri
Motive function can be restored by switching to alternative power source using ether cylinders.
Power output will be inferior to the original Flame Clock system, and the limiter can't be removed, but shouldn't hinder combat.
...I will be able to fight on.

...I will be able to fight on.
Noah
Wow, that's great news. Do you think we can ask you to fight by our side again, then?
Segiri
Understood. Ferron unit No. 7 will gladly join Ouroboros battle unit.
Sena
We'll be counting on you then, Segiri!
