▶▶ 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 042 - Report:

YoRHa units 2B and 9S rescued a Resistance group from being attacked by machine lifeforms. The Resistance unit leader identified as ＜Lily＞ guides them to their base of residence, the Resistance Camp.

During their stay at the camp, units 2B and 9S obtain information about unique machine lifeforms from the Resistance member identified as ＜Jackass＞.

It is determined that this information exists in the same parameters of the investigation mission assigned to 2B and 9S.

Proposal: Begin exploration of the Desert Zone with Jackass.

▶▶ 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 153 - Report:

Construction of new machine lifeform network confirmed. Hypothesis: The entity ＜Adam＞ is presumed to be the core.

A Goliath-class machine lifeform has begun a hostile rampage during the search for Adam. Analysis: The same phenomenon has been confirmed simultaneously in various regions on the ground. Command has issued an order for all YoRHa Soldiers to intercept the enemy machine lifeforms.

Many YoRHa Soldiers and Resistance members are currently reporting engagements with hostiles and requesting assistance.

Proposal: Commence operation for Resistance Camp rescue with 2B.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report:

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.

11945 AD.

The ＜243rd Descent Operation＞ has commenced.

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

While on a mission near the City Ruins, they receive a request from the Resistance to find a missing android. Both 2B and 9S consider that the missing android may be related to their current investigation ordered by Command. Proposal: Begin the search for relevant android.
