▶▶ 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 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.
