▶▶ Report: Pod 042

5012 AD.

Lifeforms otherwise known as ＜Aliens＞ begin their invasion of Earth.

Since mankind escaped to the moon, the ground battle between the ＜androids＞ created by humans and the ＜Machine Lifeforms＞ created by the Aliens has continued for a long time.

This craft is the accompanying support unit entitled ＜Pod 042＞.

In the 243rd Descent Operation held March 10, 11945, this unit will support Android ＜2B＞ of the ＜YoRHa Soldiers＞. Thereafter, this unit will report regular mission status in tandem with ＜Pod 153＞, the unit supporting YoRHa Aircraft Solider ＜9S＞ in this joint operation.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report:

New data not registered to the existing archive was discovered during the search on ground.

Transferring to shared server.

The mission of the machine lifeform was to destroy the androids.

However, that machine lifeform no longer possessed the will to fight.

The machine lifeform found a small ring of flowers.

The machine lifeform felt a mysterious ＜Something＞ beginning to be born within it.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report:

In the mission so far, this unit has encountered many abnormal machine lifeforms – some of which have even progressed as far as engaging in combat.

Each individual’s information has been uploaded to the server as designed.

Proposal: In preparation for future encounters, request information analysis and sharing of results in the Bunker.

―――Entity Identification Signal: ＜Pascal＞ response confirmed―――

A member of a machine lifeform village appears to have gone missing.

Proposal: Begin reconnaissance in the Forest Kingdom area.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report:

Communication lost with 9S, the individual of this unit’s accompanying support.

While acting alone, 9S encountered a unit appearing to be ＜A2＞ in an abandoned building located in the Flooded City and began pursuit.

Strong jamming signal emission confirmed throughout the area at the time.

Hypothesis: 9S fell into an untraceable status while trying to restore communications.

Proposal: Call 2B for assistance and begin searching.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report:

YoRHa Unit 2B has successfully defeated the abnormal machine lifeform identified as ＜Eve＞.

Hypothesis: Machine lifeforms in the region will gradually weaken due to the loss of Eve, the core of the machine network.

9S returns to the Bunker for body repairs and data overhaul.

Hereafter, until the completion of 9S’s repairs, 2B—together with this unit and Pod 153—will carry out the order to destroy ＜Adam＞ assigned by Command.

▶▶ Pod 042 and Pod 153 - Joint Report:

Pod 042 Report: The rampant entity ＜Adam＞ was hacked by 9S, intercepted by the Resistance, and was bombarded with support fire from the Bunker. It was ■■■■

5012 AD.

Lifeforms from outer space, otherwise known as ＜Aliens＞, suddenly begin their invasion of Earth. Mankind escapes to the moon, and the ground battle between the ＜Androids＞ and the ＜Machine Lifeforms＞ has continued for a long time.

The ＜243rd Descent Operation＞ has commenced.

＜YoHRa＞ Soldiers ＜2B＞ and ＜9S＞ now engage in the plan to recapture Earth.
