▶▶ 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:

Verifying the trade information between the Resistance and machine lifeforms in the City Ruins.

Despite the hostile relationship between androids and machine lifeforms, it appears the machine lifeforms they are trading with hold no hostile responses or combat intentions.

This unit will investigate the area together with 2B and 9S, who Lily requested to transport materials to the machine lifeforms.

▶▶ Pod 042 and Pod 153 - Joint Report:

Data discovered. Presumed to be part of a record from the past.

Transferring to shared server.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

December 8, 11941.

I’ve encountered androids dispatched to Earth on a top-secret mission.

These unknown androids call themselves ＜YoRHa Soldiers＞.

Command that abandoned us. YoRHa Soldiers with nothing but secrets and full of mysteries.

But you can’t protect your family if all you do is doubt.

…I hope my choice, our battle, will be a breakthrough in this long war of attrition.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report:

In the Forest Kingdom area, wanted YoRHa unit identified as ＜A2＞ was discovered.

The fugitive unit in question abandoned her mission and continues to run away to this day. She is designated as a highly dangerous individual.

Units 2B and 9S receive orders to track and investigate A2 from Command.

Proposal: Contact the Resistance and Pascal to begin collecting information.

▶▶ 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.
