▶▶ 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 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 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 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 ■■■■
