12that's in front of me. I wanted to come here... to space.

26Old Man: We must never let her escape.

37stay sharp, it ain't gonna be easy. But once we catch her, we take the treasure. Got it?
38
39All: Roger.

41Commander: Let's do it!
42
43Commander: Missile, fire at aim 3 to slow her down.

73Rob: I'm looking for a guy named Gene.
74
75Clyde: Gene? And uh, what do you want with him?
76
77Rob: Let's just say he pulled a number on my brother.
78
79Jim: I'm gonna raise you.
80
81Rob: I heard he was a regular around here.
82
83Clyde: Yep, might say
84
85Jim: So, whatcha got in mind? Ya gonna call? Or ya gonna fold? C'mon, I can't wait all day!

91Jim: What're you doing?
92
93Gene: I gotta call the game, Jim. I got a guest to fight.
94
95Jim: Oh! Damnit! That ain't fair. You know you were gonna lose.
96
97Rob: What the hell?
98
99Gene: You expecting something else? You're looking for me if I'm not mistaken.
100
101Rob: You're Gene Starwind? You mean to tell me a runt like you took out Butch?
102
103Gene: Oh yeah, Butch. That scraggly guy who started a brawl here last month. Hey, for a
104wimp I made some good money off of him.
105
106Rob: Hey punk, better watch it. Before you die, you should know who I am. The name's Rob Kane.
107I've killed 30 men and you'll be 31.
108
109Clyde: You're Death Rob?
110
111Rob: Some people call me that.
112
113Gene: So you're Rob Kane. 'Deaf' Rob?
114
115Rob: That's death! Aaah!!! Uhhh....
116
117Jim: He's not down, Gene, that guy's a cyborg!
118
119Rob: Uwahh!
120
121Rob: So, if you didn't have a gun, would you run away?
122
123Gene: Only when I don't have one.
124
125Rob: That doesn't work.
126
127Jim: Gene, he's a type C! Go for the 'botic line in his side.
128
129Gene: Ok, got it.
130
131Gene: Ok, Clyde, you can call the sheriff now.
132
133Iris: Gene! I was so scared.
134
135Gene: Ah, Iris, it's okay now.
136
137Jim: Hah! Is that why you have your hand on her ass?
138
139Clyde: So you think everything's ok, Gene? And what about the damage to my bar?
140
141Gene: Jim, what's the bounty on this Death Rob guy?
142
143Jim: 4000 wong.
144
145Gene: Pay the repairs, and deposit what's left. Tonight I'm gonna hit the town!
146
147
148Jim: So, what do ya wanna do Gene, do you get something good to eat, do you want to hit the
149casino, I was thinking maybe you wanna go... hmmm...
150
151Jim: Boy, you don't see that everyday. Somebody other than the regular flight coming to Sentinel.
152
153Gene: Alright! Jim, tonight we're gonna be going our separate ways.
154
155Jim: Huh? But Gene, why?
156
157Gene: I'm going someplace that doesn't interest kids, all right?
158
159Jim: Hey! The girls always roll out the red carpet when I come along!
160
161Gene: Okay, then you wanna come with me and become a real man tonight?
162
163Jim: Uhh, ahh, I don't think so.
164
165Gene: Catch ya later!
166
167Jim: Oh! Gene Starwind, you scumbag!
168
169
170Old Man: Are we certain that Hilda has fled to this world?
171
172Girl Pirate: 3 days ago, we assume. If she's avoided all our traps, this limits her to this area.
173
174Tall Pirate: Search for her!
175
176
177Club Temptation Girl: Gene, are you going into space someday? As good as you are, I'm sure you'll
178be okay. What do you think you're gonna be doing up there? Treasure hunting? Bounty hunting? Or
179are you just going to be a romantic and look for adventure?
180
181Gene: No, pirate hunting.
182
183Club Temptation Girl: Ha ha ha, that's not possible.
184
185Gene: Yeah, I guess. I've never been up there. And I don't have a ship to call my own.
186
187Club Temptation Girl: Hey, don't get all serious on me.
188
189Gene: Right.
190
191
192Jim: Hey Gene, its almost noon! Get outta bed and give me a hand down here! We've got that
193tractor repair job waiting for us this afternoon we gotta get done for Henry.
194
195Gene: A job for 150 wongs, can't get myself out of bed for something that small.
196
197Jim: When did you finally get back last night?
198
199Gene: 5 this morning.
200
201Jim: You probably haven't heard yet so I better tell you... That ship came down, the one last
202night. It was a pirate ship.
203
204Gene: Pirates?
205
206Jim: I dont' know what organization it was with.
207
208Jim: C'mon, Oh...
209
210Gene: What about quarantine?
211
212Jim: The space forces don't come down here. So, you just need to grease some palms.
213
214Gene: I don't get it, what is it they possibly could be interested in down here on Sentinel?
215
216Jim: I don't know, Gene, you're asking the wrong guy. Huh?
217
218Jim: Hello, you've reached Hawking from Starwind & Hawking Repairs. We fix everything from
219tractors, to relationships, so how can we help you today?
220
221Rachel: I have a job for you.
222
223Jim: Okeydokey. Could you give me the particulars?
224
225Rachel: Lets see, if its not too much trouble, I'd like to order a few special parts, and I'd
226also like a body guard.
227
228Jim: I see. Very well then. And your name lady?
229
230Rachel: My name's Rachel. And thank you.
231
232---------------------
233
234Eyecatch
235
236---------------------
237
238Gene: Well?
239
240Jim: Gosh Gene, that lady asked for some real serious hardware.
241
242Gene: Hey Jim, she's a customer! And a real babe.
243
244Jim: Women will be the death of you some day.
245
246Gene: Right. I can't forget to include that in my plan for an ideal life. Hey, she gave you
247money to order the parts, didn't she?
248
249Jim: Mmm hmm. It's been deposited in our account. But its stuff like bioelements, organic
250system parts, and some nanotech. Ya know, this stuff is hard to get Gene. And its real
251expensive. Makes me wanna know what she needs them for.
252
253Gene: You check her ID?
254
255Jim: All green. Appears to be safe.
256
257Gene: Hmm...Well okay, I guess I'll just have to go meet our Miss Safe and see how 'safe' she
258really is.
259
260Jim: Why do you think Miss Safe would need a bodyguard? Here, I've input all the data for
261you. Take it.
262
263Gene: I'll see you at the usual place then.
264
265Jim: Hmm... okay.
266
267
268Clyde: That's right, I'd be happy to pour you another when you finish the first one.
269
270Iris: I hate it when we always get these animals after Gene gets into a fight.
271
272Clyde: Now don't be like that, we're pulling in money because of it.
273
274Iris: Oh, I hate him. Look at him flirting away with that girl over there.
275
276Clyde: Don't be so jealous.
277
278Gene: So Tell me, who's the bodyguard for?
279
280Rachel: For me, I didn't know that this place could be so dangerous for the inexperienced like
281myself.
282
283Gene: This your first time to Locus? You sightseeing? Heh, well there's nothing to see.
284
285Rachel: It's my job, it's for my father.
286
287Gene: So, how long would you say you need a bodyguard for?
288
289Rachel: I'll need you to start right now, until I leave the area and my job is done.
290
291Gene: It'll be 800 a day plus any expenses.
292
293Rachel: Very well then.
294
295Gene: Okay, we have ourselves a deal.
296
297Rachel: Mmmm... With you around Gene, I think my job will be much more pleasent.
298
299Gene: What's taking Jim so long? I'm sorry, he should be here by now.
300
301Rachel: That's alright.
302
303Gene: Where are we headed, anyway?
304
305Rachel: To an agroplant thats located 30 kilometers to the northeast.
306
307Gene: What? Thats out in the middle of the wheat fields.
308
309Rachel: Uh huh. You see, I have to do some major repairs on the farm equipment thats out there.
310
311Gene: Is that why she ordered bioelements? Hmm...
312
313Gene: Does this guy happen to be a friend of yours?
314
315Rachel: Uh uh.
316
317Pirate: You, leave the woman and walk away! Otherwise, you're a dead man!
318
319Gene: Heh, this is great, just great. Do you realize you're threatening Gene Starwind? That's
320right, c'mon!
321
322Gene: Playtime's over!
323
324Jim: Waiting long? I got hung up at the shop. What'cha been doing? huh?
325
326Gene: You are late!
327
328Jim: Who were those guys anyway?
329
330Gene: I don't know.
331
332Jim: Well, guess we should get going.
333
334Gene: Yep.
335
336Gene: I have a bad feeling about this. But a job's a job.
337
338Gene: Let's roll!
339
340
341Gene: Didn't I tell you to check it over before you left?
342
343Jim: You don't restore a classic like this then drive it all over the place.
344
345
346Jim: Maybe I was just being paranoid. This job seems simpler than I thought it would. Maybe
347those guys that attacked you just then thought you were somebody else. Those guys had pirate
348guild written all over them. There's no way that pirates would be after someone like Rachel.
349You know what Gene? If you take the next offramp its a straight shot the rest of the way.
350
351Gene: Yeah, I know.
352
353Jim: Gene, it's them, the pirates!
354
355Girl Pirate: Okay, playtime's done now. Can't fool us anymore. Come out and we'll spare your
356life, Hilda.
357
358Jim: Hilda? Hilda?! Hilda?!
359
360Hilda: Close your eyes! Floor it!
361
362Old Man: Damn you, Hilda!
363
364Tall Pirate: I'll handle this. Aaaah Uh sung fung! Uh sung fung! Uh sung fung!
365
366Old Man and Girl Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
367
368
369Gene: Okay, tell us how much is a lie and how much is true?
370
371Hilda: Rachel is purely a fictious name. The part about me needing a bodyguard however is real.
372
373Gene: Okay, so your real name is Hilda. Why are those pirates after you?
374
375Hilda: I'm their enemy. We're after the same treasure.
376
377Jim: Treasure? This is bad news Gene! Lets get outta here!
378
379Gene: You don't think they'll let us go do ya? Here they come.
380
381Jim: What the hell is that?
382
383Gene: They're using Tao magic! Hilda, take the wheel.
384
385Gene: Jim, short barreled blaster!
386
387Jim: Got it!
388
389Jim: Ha ha! How do you like that?
390
391Tall Pirate: Fung Hu Pai!
392
393Jim: Uh...
394
395Tall Pirate: Vega!
396
397Gene: Dodge it!
398
399Gene: Bastard!
400
401Gene: Let's rock!
402
403Tall Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Hah hah!
404
405Gene: Uhh...
406
407Jim: No way...
408
409Tall Pirate: Ha ha ha ha! Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa
410
411Gene: Jim, give me a #3.
412
413Jim: We only have one of those bullets left.
414
415Gene: Just give it to me!
416
417Hilda: A caster?!
418
419Gene: Eat this, bastard!
420
421Tall Pirate: Aaaaaahhhhh!
422
423Girl Pirate: They've been killed.
424
425Old Man: It seems that we've underestimated our enemies.
426
427
428Jim: Mission Completed!
429
430Hilda: I appreciate what you've done.
431
432Gene: Uhhh....
433
434Jim: Oh god, Gene!
435
436Hilda: Hold it. I've still got some work for you to do.
437
438
439Hilda: Okay, pull out that trunk. Load it into the car.
440
441Gene: Tell me Hilda...what's in the trunk?
442
443Hilda: How did you...
444
445Jim: Gene!
446
447Gene: Sorry there buddy but it looks like we're gonna have to write off your personal assistant.
448Shall we see what's in there?
449
450Jim: It's an electonic lock! I need the code number!
451
452Gene: What is it, Hilda?
453
454Hilda: It's not in your best interest to open that.
455
456Gene: What's the code?
457
458Hilda: VSDO2C.
459
460Jim: Okay, that did it! Gene, look at that.
461
462Gene: Huh, what the hell, what is it?

472Narrator: ...The boy doesn't always know. At some point, the boy then becomes an adult and learns
473what he was able to become. Joy and sadness will always accompany this. He is confronted with a
474choice. When this happens, does he bid his past farewell in his heart? Once a boy becomes an
475adult, he can no longer go back to being a boy. The boy is now a man. Only one thing can be said.
476A boy has a right to dream. But those endless possibilities are stretched out before him. We must
477remember, all men were once boys.

490Jim: Gene?!
491
492Gene: Who the hell is that? What's going on here?
493
494Computer: Resesitation system checked in progress.
495
496Jim: So Hilda, who the hell is she?
497
498Hilda: Her name is Melfina.
499
500Gene: Ahh... Melfina?
501
502Computer: Systems normal. Estimated resesitation time 600 seconds. Commencing countdown 3...
5032... 1... Resesitation in 600 seconds.
504
505Gene: Resusitation? Shes been in the cold sleep.
506
507Gene: What are you trying to pull?
508
509Hilda: If you want the details on Melfina, fix my arm and I'll fill you in.
510
511Jim: Cybernetic Prosthetic? I get it, thats why you wanted all those parts and everything.
512
513G: I don't think you realize the particular situation you're in now H.
514
515Hilda: If you're gonna shoot, get it over with. But if you do, you must realize you'll be hunted
516down without knowing who I am.
517
518Gene: Go ahead Jim, fix Hilda's arm for her.
519
520Jim: Wa...?
521
522Gene: Don't just stand there! And Hilda, I suggest you hand over that gun you were carrying.
523
524Hilda: Very well then. This should be interesting.
525
526Gene: Maybe it will at that.
527
528
529Jim: Gene, we can't trust her one damn bit.
530
531Gene: I Don't.
532
533Jim: Right, if you say so. It's just that women always make you screw up.
534
535Gene: Yeah right. Before you fix her arm, hide the car and get ready for our guests to arrive.
536
537Jim: Gotcha.
538
539
540Jim: This is nanopromethius, its top of the line!
541
542Gene: Okay, who the hell are you, I've waited long enough!
543
544Hilda: The name's Hilda. I'm an outlaw.
545
546Gene: Oh come on, spare us. Here on Sentinel, everbody in this dog calls themself an outlaw.
547Gonna have to do better than that, tell us who you really are!
548
549Hilda: There's nothing to it, really. I'm an outlaw who got into a bit of trouble with some
550pirates. We're after the same treasure, so I fled to this planet.
551
552Gene: You came from space?
553
554Hilda: That's right.
555
556Gene: On your own ship?
557
558Hilda: I left my ship back in orbit. I just came down on the dropship, thats all.
559
560Gene: Why would this girl be such a treasure to those pirates?
561
562Hilda: Who knows... They wanted her, so I decided I would swipe her from them.
563
564Gene: Oh yeah sure, I get it now. Right. What do you think I am, dumb?
565
566Hilda: You have to understand, the trouble between us didn't start with this, lets just say
567I have a bad history with them, okay?
568
569Jim: Hey, try to move it now.
570
571Gene: Now tell me so I can understand.
572
573Hilda: I'm always looking for a reason to hate pirates?
574
575Gene: Well now, the pirates have a reason to hate you, am I right?
576
577Hilda: A while back, when I was pushed too far I took out one of the guild's leaders. It cost
578me though.
579
580Jim: All done.
581
582Gene: If you don't give me a straight answer its gonna cost you even more. What the hell makes
583that girl such a special prize?
584
585Computer: Resesitation in 360 seconds.
586
587Hilda: Once she wakes up ask her yourself.
588
589Gene: So you're just gonna keep playing dumb.
590
591Jim: The pirates!
592
593Gene: Right, kill the lights.
594
595Old Man: We know you're in there, and we know you can hear us. Now hand over Melfina! You have
596nothing that can stand against us...
597
598Hilda: I won't ask you to help just stay out of my way.
599
600Gene: Don't you think its a little later for that now?
601
602Jim: Gene!
603
604Computer: Resesitation in 300 seconds.
605
606Gene: Now we have to stay alive until Melfina wakes up. Jim, give me a number 3 shell.
607
608Jim: We're out!
609
610Gene: What do you mean we can't be out! I can't take that old man with just regular bullets.
611
612Jim: We've only got one number 5 and a number 19.
613
614Gene: One 5 and one 19? Alright then, give it to me.
615
616Jim: Uhh... these are expensive, you know.
617
618Hilda: Could you guys hold them off for just a few minutes?
619
620Gene: What about you?
621
622Hilda: Melfina can't be moved while she's being resusitated. But if we stick around here, we're
623dead. I've been thinking, if you two could just hold them off for a while then I'd have enough
624time to go get my dropship.
625
626Jim: She wants to run, Gene. You don't believe her, do ya?
627
628Gene: None of this makes sense Jim, but I've decided. You go with her while I stay with Melfina.
629
630Jim: Huh? I'm going with her?
631
632Gene: If she tries to skip out, make her regret it.
633
634Jim: Damnit, I'm supposed to be the brains of this outfit.
635
636Gene: Jim, hop to it. Lets get this party started.
637
638Jim: Gotcha.
639
640
641Pirates: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
642
643Girl Pirate: Go!
644
645Old Man: Alright, I'll handle this. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
646
647
648Jim: Where is it?
649
650Hilda: I sank it by this pond.
651
652Jim: Make it quick, will ya?
653
654Hilda: You like Gene, don't ya Jim?
655
656Jim: Huh?
657
658Hilda: Everybody needs a partner.
659
660Jim: Uh.
661
662Hilda: You'll understand soon enough.
663
664
665Gene: Shit, that guy's a Tao master.
666
667
668Old Man: Old Magic?
669
670Girl Pirate: Out here on the frontier?
671
672Gene: Not bad for a number 5, that just leaves me with a number 19. Time to take em all down.
673That's it, game over old man!
674
675Gene: It's a dud!
676
677Gene: Ah!! Aww shit...
678
679Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
680
681Girl Pirate: Get them! Kill everyone but Melfina!
682
683
684Old Man: Hilda...
685
686Girl Pirate: It's too dangerous, regroup!
687
688Pirates: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
689
690Gene: Talk about overkill.
691
692Computer: Resusitation complete. Resusitation complete. Now activating.
693
694Melfina: Heading toward star space calnder year 156. The G line project has been found successful.
695
696Gene: Melfina?
697
698Melfina: Why... why did I have to be born?
699
700Jim: Gene, this isn't the time to make a lady cry.
701
702Gene: It wasn't me.
703
704Jim: Whatever, just get Melfina out back, Hilda's waiting for us out there.
705
706Gene: Alright, Jim. But first we have to get sleeping beauty here dressed.
707
708Jim: Yeah, kinda distracting. Hmmm?
709
710Hilda: You ready down there? Let's go.
711
712Gene: Sounds like you 2 are hitting it off.
713
714Jim: We reached an understanding.
715
716
717Old Man: They're trying to get away.
718
719Girl Pirate: After that ship!
720
721Hilda: Move it!
722
723Gene: Huh?
724
725Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
726
727Gene: Oh man...
728
729Old Man: Damn you Hilda. Do you really think you can escape the guild and take Melfina with you?
730
731
732Hilda: I'm leaving orbit. And this system. So what'll it be, are you 2 coming along?
733
734Jim: You're damn right, we haven't gotten out money yet! Isn't that right, Gene?
735
736Hilda: What's the story with him?
737
738Jim: Ah, it's nothing. Gene's a space cherry.
739
740Gene: I'm not a cherry. My first time I was just way too young, thats all.
741
742Hilda: You're an odd one alright.
743
744Jim: Hang in there Gene, don't worry. Here, why don't you hold my hand?
745
746Gene: No thanks. Anyway, I prefer women.
747
748
749Hilda: Alright Horis lay on the shortest course to Blue Heaven.
750
751Horis: Roger.
752
753Jim: Hey, what's Blue Heaven, Gene?
754
755Gene: A free town, considered an outlaw hangout.
756
757Hilda: And Horace can get us there in just 2 jumps.
758
759Horis: 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4...
760
761Jim: Oh god Gene, why don't you just pass out already?
762
763Horis: 3... 2... 1...
764
765Gene: Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
766
767---------------------------
768
769Eyecatch
770
771---------------------------
772
773Gene: Hey dad, I learned all the controls already.
774
775
776Gene: Ahh! Dad, wait!
777
778Gene's Father: Sorry Gene, but I want you to live.
779
780Gene: No Dad, don't do it!
781
782Gene's Father: Good luck, my son.
783
784Gene: Daaaaaad!!!!! Noooooo!!!
785
786
787Gene: Uhh... Help me.
788
789Hilda: You decide to wake up?
790
791Gene: You got a problem with that?
792
793Hilda: No I don't, if you can keep quiet.
794
795Horis: We have reached Blue Heaven Space.
796
797Horis: Blue Heaven Network access complete. Now displaying usable docks.
798
799Hilda: Alright Horis, use dock 8.
800
801Horis: Aye, dock 8 selected. Preparing to dock at Blue Heaven. Dock 8 to be route 221.
802Transferring to auto pilot mode. 3... 2... 1... Now on auto pilot.
803
804Hilda: Gene, are you scared of space?
805
806Gene: No, I wouldn't say that.
807
808Hilda: Well, what is it then?
809
810Gene: Just bad memories, that's all.
811
812Hilda: Bad memories, huh?
813
814Gene: Hilda, have you been in space a long time?
815
816Hilda: Long time... I guess you might say that.
817
818Gene: There you go, dodging my questions again.
819
820Jim: Hey Gene, you're finally awake. Good to see you're alive.
821
822Gene: Lay off, will ya?
823
824Jim: Aww... That's just too cute.
825
826Gene: Yeah, I'll show you cute.
827
828
829Jim: So, are you okay Gene?
830
831Gene: Yeah, I'm fine.
832
833Gene: I'll take this over a spaceship anyday.
834
835Jim: I guess you're cherry's officially popped now
836
837Gene: Okay, drop it I'm fine you got it, unless you wanna make something
838
839Swanzo: Hilda, how long has it been. Can ya hang out for a while?
840
841Hilda: Not right now. i need you to resupply and repair Horis.
842
843Swanzo: Got it. Just leave it to me.
844
845Jim: Check it out Gene, a corbonite. I've never seen one before.
846
847Gene: Yeah.
848
849Swanzo: Who are they? Are you a tour guide now, Hilda?
850
851Hilda: Heh. Let's leave it at that, Swanzo.
852
853Swanzo: (laughs) Actually, I've got a message for you. But uh...
854
855Hilda: It's alright, you can tell it here.
856
857Swanzo: McCoy says he can't make it.
858
859Hilda: Why not?
860
861Swanzo: I'm not sure, looks like he didn't want to get mixed up with a bunch of pirates.
862
863Hilda: Aww... he's nothing but a big chicken.
864
865Swanzo: I have one other piece of bad news. The McDougal brothers have been asking about you.
866
867Hilda: Damn bunch of fools.
868
869Gene: Hey hey hey hey McCoy this, McDougal that, when are you people gonna start talking some
870sense?
871
872Swanzo: Heh. Don't butt into an adult conversation, kid.
873
874Gene: Did you call me a kid? Listen here, buddy...
875Swanzo: Whoa now... if you let yourself get all worked up over everything, kid, you won't last
876long. Using those things is banned here. You might want to remember that, kid.
877
878Gene: Relax, buddy, its not even loaded. I was just bluffing.
879
880Jim: So firing a blaster is banned in a free town? Why is that?
881
882Swanzo: Well, if a stray cracked a seal someplace and the air escaped, everybody who lived here
883would go straight to heaven. Morons who can't follow the rules don't have the right to hang
884around.
885
886Gene: Yeah, or maybe only morons who follow the rules live here. So, thats what an outlaw is, huh?
887
888Jim: They're pirates?
889
890Swanzo: Sounds like this other youngster doesn't understand either. There are 3 powers in space.
891The Space Forces, the pirates, and outlaws. The difference is what motivates them. What motivates
892an outlaw varies from person to person. Good or bad, doesn't figure in solidarity in their duty.
893
894Jim: So thats what makes them outlaws.
895
896Mikey: Take a look at this, Swanzo. This ain't gonna be a one person job.
897
898Swanzo: Blast it. Alright, I'll be right there. See you around, Hilda.
899
900Hilda: Sure, take care of him.
901
902Swanzo: Alright, kid behave yourself now.
903
904
905Gene: No way, I don't think so. I don't know the first thing about clothes shopping, how did I
906get suckered into it? She's with you, isn't she?
907
908Hilda: I have some place to go and Melfina needs clothes. I'd rather she be with you, I know
909she'd be in good hands that way. Remember, Melfina is important to us.
910
911Gene: Okay, I see. How about this then? Melfina goes with Jim because that way the job is sure
912to get done, and then I can go along with you.
913
914Hilda: It's a deal.
915
916Jim: And what a deal.
917
918Gene: Lets meet at the hotel then, okay Jim?
919
920Jim: Right
921
922Computer: Welcome to Blue Heaven.
923
924
925Lady: Step right up and taste my delicous meat pie. Step right up.
926
927
928Melfina: Jim, I'm sorry.
929
930Jim: Nah, don't worry about it.
931
932
933Jim: How's it goin in there?
934
935Melfina: What do you think?
936
937Attendent: Wow, you look absolutely wonderful.
938
939Jim: Hey, not bad Melfina.
940
941Melfina: Thank you.
942
943
944Gene: Okay Hilda, so what now?
945
946Hilda: This is an outlaw hangout. I figured if there was anybody halfway decent here, I'd hire
947him.
948
949Gene: So its not a job you can handle alone. I think its time you tell me what this job is.
950Enough with the secrets.
951
952Hilda: Alright. I'm going to pick up a certain ship.
953
954Gene: A certain ship?
955
956Hilda: It's a very special ship. A ship that has enough power to dive into the ether sargasso.
957It's called a grappler ship.
958
959Gene: A grappler spaceship?
960
961Hilda: If you're planning to come along, you might think it over. Make sure it is what you want.
962Cause it sounds like you're a bit of a space hater.
963
964Gene: Just mind your own business.
965
966McCoy: Hilda! Well, Hilda, did I just hear something about you being shorthanded, I can help you
967out if you are.
968
969Hilda: McCoy, you bastard. Not a chance. I'm looking for people who've got some skill.
970
971McCoy Henchman1: Hey, we've got plenty of skill.
972
973McCoy: Hey now, don't be greedy, we all want to make some money. Outlaws are partners here.
974
975Hilda: Partners?
976
977McCoy: Now now, you came here looking for partners, come on Hilda, isn't that right?
978
979McCoy: Aaaaahhh!!
980
981McCoy: Okay, that does it.
982
983Gene: You trying to start something here, idiot?
984
985Hilda: Watch this.
986
987McCoy: Heh heh, you want some, huh?
988
989McCoy Henchman1: We ain't gonna play nice just cause you're a woman.
990
991Men: Aaaaaahhhh!
992
993Hilda: Now turn tail and run. Cause next time I won't be so nice.
994
995McCoy: Damn you Hilda, we'll remember this.
996
997Gene: So guys like that are outlaws too?
998
999Hilda: Well, its just like it is with the stars, there are bright ones and there are those that
1000are dim.
1001
1002Gene: Heh, what kind are you?
1003
1004Hilda: Well thats for you to decide. How would you like to find out?
1005
1006
1007Jim: Ah! You mean that G and Hilda are gonna share a room?
1008
1009Clerk: Yes sir
1010
1011Jim: Oh dammit that scumbag don't tell me he's gonna make a move on her How could she have okayed
1012this? No, I bet he was seducted this time
1013
1014Clerk: Here's the key to your room, sir.
1015
1016Jim: Did you mean our room?
1017
1018Clerk Yes sir, room 345 with twin beds.
1019
1020Jim: Aaahhh... Well, you heard the man.
1021
1022
1023Jim: Dammit Gene, don't you think there's a time and a place for these kind of things?
1024
1025Melfina: So how do you think this looks Jim?
1026
1027Jim: Its not bad I guess
1028
1029Melfina: Well, shall I sleep here tonight
1030
1031Jim: Yeah okay
1032
1033Melfina: Sleep with you?
1034
1035Jim: Ah! No, no use that bed alright?
1036
1037Melfina: Alright.
1038McCoy Henchman1: It's empty... Uuuuh!
1039
1040Hilda: Those fools from the bar, huh?
1041
1042Gene: There's never a dull moment with you, is there? Or much time for anything else I guess.
1043
1044Hilda: Just be ready.
1045
1046McCoy: Whats going on up there, did you get them? Blast it!
1047
1048Hilda: Lets go and don't use your gun.
1049
1050
1051Gene: Up against that thing and you're telling me I can't use my gun?
1052
1053Hilda: Thats right cause he isn't using one.
1054
1055Gene: Aaahhh.... I knew that.

1061Outlaw Star
1062Script- Episode 3
1063Into Burning Space
1064
1065Narrator: With the creation of the Manchausin Drive, which made faster than light speed travel
1066possible, humanity entered into a new era of great odysseys. They set out into the
1067universe, into this infinite sea. Explorers, soldiers, colonists... all sorts of
1068travellers with all sorts of names crossed the sea of stars and spread out across all
1069sorts of worlds. But when law and order were created, those who disturbed it appeared.
1070And when wealth and interest appeared, those who would plunder it appeared. Just as in
1071the last great age of sailing, pirates were reborn in space. But in this new age of
1072odysseys, a new breed of sailors appeared who worked outside the law yet sided with
1073neither space pirate nor space forces. Outlaw. This was the name given to those who
1074traveled in space with only his freedom as his guide.
1075
1076
1077// McCoy, inside a mech, enters the room.
1078
1079Gene: Well, well, well here he is.
1080
1081Gene: You have got to be kidding me.
1082
1083// Gene shoots paint at him.
1084
1085McCoy: Uhh...
1086
1087Gene: (laughs) That won't take it off. You can't see a darn thing, can ya?
1088
1089McCoy: You asked for it kid.
1090
1091McCoy: Better say your prayers. Dumb kid. Alright, I'll get you now.
1092
1093// He gets out of the mech.
1094
1095Gene: (laughs)
1096
1097McCoy: You're history. That's it, you're mine.
1098
1099// Hilda jumps behind him and shocks him.
1100
1101McCoy: Yaaaaahhhh!!!!
1102
1103Gene: Huh?
1104
1105Hilda: So, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve I see.
1106
1107Gene: Hey, I don't think these guys were after you just cause of what you did back at the bar.
1108Well, looks like just about everybody's after you.
1109
1110// In the Hotel room...
1111
1112Hilda: Okay, so tell me, what exactly do you want with me?
1113
1114McCoy Henchman2: I don't know I tell ya, c'mon, I don't know anything.
1115
1116Hilda: But you know my reputation, right?
1117
1118McCoy Henchman2: Someone asked us to do it. They told us we could capture you, or we could just
1119keep you here.
1120
1121Hilda: Gonna tell me who?
1122
1123McCoy Henchman2: Uh uh.
1124
1125Hilda: Somebody even worse than me?
1126
1127McCoy Henchman2: It's Ron MacDougal.
1128
1129Hilda: McDougal, why him?
1130
1131McCoy Henchman2: I dont' know, we just did it, cause he offered to pay us a lot of money.
1132
1133// She knocks him out with a kick to the head.
1134
1135Hilda: Wake up Melfina and Jim. We're going to the dock.
1136
1137Gene: So who's this MacDougal guy?
1138
1139Hilda: I'll explain later.
1140
1141Gene: I've heard that before.
1142
1143------------------------------
1144
1145Into Burning Space
1146
1147------------------------------
1148
1149// In the repair shop...
1150
1151Mikey: Okay, thats the last of them.
1152
1153Swanzo: Looks like you guys makde it here in one piece.
1154
1155Hilda: Sorry about the trouble.
1156
1157Swanzo: (laughs) Don't mention it, we go back a long way. Wouldn't mind knowing what they were
1158up to though.
1159
1160Hilda: Looks like MacDougal put them up to it.
1161
1162Swanzo: Oh, so they're going all out, eh? What have you got yourself mixed up in?
1163
1164Hilda: Well it's nothing major, its the Galactic Leyline.
1165
1166Swanzo: They Galactic Leyline? I'll never understand how you terrans think. You really believe
1167in that stuff?
1168
1169Hilda: Actually no, Swanzo. I don't believe anything until I see it with my own eyes. How's
1170Horis doing?
1171
1172Swanzo: I'm finished with the supplies. How's the engine, Mikey?
1173
1174Mikey: All green, except you've got less than 50 parsecs until your next recommended overhaul
1175on your sub-ether drive.
1176
1177Hilda: The manufacturer's too paranoid, we're launching right away.
1178
1179Gene: Hey, hold it! You mean we're gonna launch now, just like that?
1180
1181Swanzo: That'd probably be a good idea, there's a big ruckus over at dock 12, maybe their buddies
1182are sending us some ships.
1183
1184Mikey: What are you, outta your mind? Starting a fight right outside Blue Heaven?
1185
1186Swanzo: They're breaking the rules if they don't go hand to hand. Horis is too big for them.
1187It's like $#&*@!
1188
1189Gene: What did you say?
1190
1191Swanzo: Sorry, translator's glitch. It's like sharks ganging up on a whale.
1192
1193Gene: Hmph, whatever, I've never even seen a whale before.
1194
1195Hilda: Swanzo, thank you for everything, I'll be back soon and understand I will need your help
1196again. I'll have a new ship with me.
1197
1198Swanzo: No problem, Hilda.
1199
1200Hilda: Okay, let's get going.
1201
1202// They head out, 5 ships head out after them.
1203
1204Horis: 5 planetary grappler ships have launched from Blue Heaven and are closing in.
1205Hilda: Gene, hey Gene!
1206
1207Gene: Huh, what is it?
1208
1209Hilda: You ever fight in a spaceship before?
1210
1211Gene: No, even if I did, I don't want to now.
1212
1213Hilda: I thought you had experience as a pilot.
1214
1215Gene: I do, I might puke all over the console.
1216
1217Horis: Warning, that may cause a short circuit.
1218
1219Jim: If you don't have a problem with it, I'll help.
1220
1221Hilda: Can you operate a laser cannon?
1222
1223Jim: Sure, I know how to use one.
1224
1225Hilda: It's to your right. If they close in, open fire.
1226
1227Jim: Okay.
1228
1229Hilda: Melfina, sit in the auxiliary control chair. You're able to do it.
1230
1231Melfina: Alright, I'll try.
1232
1233Horis: Warning, please avoid any reckless evasive manuevers until we are out of Blue Heaven's
1234approach lane.
1235
1236Hilda: Alright, continue accelerating.
1237
1238McCoy Henchman1: They won't get away, lets split ourselves up.
1239
1240McCoy Henchman2: Right.
1241
1242// They split up.
1243
1244Horis: Grappler ships to aft have split into 2 groups.
1245
1246Hilda: Jim, eyes up, they're coming in from the rear.
1247
1248Jim: Gotcha.
1249
1250Jim: There they are!
1251
1252// The blasts don't work.
1253
1254McCoy: Ain't gonna work little lady!
1255
1256Horis: Enemy craft have anti-laser defenses.
1257
1258Jim: Uhh... Hilda, what are we gonnna do?
1259
1260Hilda: Keep firing, it'll keep them on their toes atleast.
1261
1262Jim: Okay.
1263
1264Gene: Ugh...
1265
1266McCoy: (laughs) Running out of time.
1267
1268Horis: Further evasion is dangerous. Now leaving guide path.
1269
1270Melfina: Grappler ship closing in from above!
1271
1272McCoy Henchman1: Okay, lady, gotcha this time.
1273
1274Hilda: Horis, we need a rapid climb.
1275
1276// Horis dodges them.
1277
1278Gene: Ugh...
1279
1280McCoy Henchman1: Ahh man!
1281
1282Hilda: How much longer until we're cleared of the asteroid zone?
1283
1284Horis: 482 seconds.
1285
1286Melfina: I see something thats closing in on us from ahead. It's a large ship.
1287
1288Horis: Ship is cruiser class. Type unknown. It is on a collsion course.
1289
1290Hilda: Send out a warning.
1291
1292Horis: They claim they have the right of way.
1293
1294// On the ship...
1295
1296Aisha: This is the Orta Hone Hone, registered to the Ctarl Ctarl empire. I am speaking to you
1297as Ambassador Planetary Petentiary Aisha Clan Clan. With total authority in all space,
1298held by the Ctarl Ctarl empire. We are docking at Blue Heaven, clear the way.
1299
1300Crowd: Clear the way (~ 10 times)
1301
1302Ctarl Ctarl1: Make way for the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
1303
1304Ctarl Ctarl2: If you don't clear the we're gonna whip your butt.
1305
1306McCoy Henchman1: The Ctarl Ctarl empire!
1307
1308McCoy Henchman2: What should we do?
1309
1310McCoy: Like we really have a choice? These guys are even worse than the pirates!
1311
1312Hilda: Listen, I'm an outlaw. I hate to say it, but I don't have a treaty with you, understand?
1313This departing ship is taking the right of way.
1314
1315Jim: Huh? You're picking a fight with the Ctarl Ctarl?
1316
1317Gene: Hey Jim, tell me, what are the Ctarl Ctarl like again?
1318
1319Jim: They're like a cross between a human and a tiger. They're really nasty.
1320
1321Technician1: Approaching ship isn't changing course!
1322
1323Aisha: Wait! Wait a minute, thats crazy!
1324
1325Technician2: Stop messing around!
1326
1327Technician3: Moron!
1328
1329Technician1: We're gonna eat you.
1330
1331Hilda: Don't worry. If you drop your shield, they'll be enough room for us to pass.
1332
1333Aisha: What?! You defy the Ctarl Ctarl empire!? Grr....
1334
1335Hilda: Without it the ships will collide!
1336
1337Aisha: What? Just a minute!
1338
1339Technician2: Graphic shields altering course 3 degrees to port.
1340
1341Technician1: Firing starboard blasters for 10 seconds.
1342
1343// Horis narrowly makes it by.
1344
1345Jim: Ugh... ugh...
1346
1347// An asteroid strikes the Ctarl Ctarl ship.
1348
1349Aisha: Aaaahhh! Arrr!
1350
1351Gene: Oh boy...
1352
1353McCoy Henchman1: Kay, go after them.
1354
1355Aisha: Hey! Hold it right there! All of you stop your ships do you hear me? You're under arrest
1356in the name of the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
1357
1358McCoy Henchman3: Oh no, what should we do?
1359
1360McCoy Henchman4: What else can we do? We can't get away from that ship.
1361
1362Aisha: Hey! You outlaws, hold on!
1363
1364Horis: T minus 60 until asteroid zone is cleared. Warning. Warning. Further acceleration within
1365asteroid zone is dangerous.
1366
1367Jim: Aaaah!
1368
1369Aisha: Grr! Blast it! Everyone's trying to make fools of us. That does it, fire! I said fire!
1370
1371Crowd: Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
1372
1373Technician1: But Lady Aisha, firing within the asteroid cluster is...
1374
1375Aisha: Quiet! This is in the honor of the Ctarl Ctarl!
1376
1377Technician1: Yes, m'am!
1378
1379Crowd: Fire ( but are unable to stop Horis from escaping.
1380
1381Aisha: Grrr!
1382
1383Technician3: Lady Aisha blew it, she should have listened to him!
1384
1385// On Horis...
1386
1387Gene: Oh Hilda, where are we headed off to this time?
1388
1389Hilda: Just a little star system. Meeting up with some friends there.
1390
1391--------------------------
1392
1393Eyecatch
1394
1395--------------------------
1396
1397// On the Ctarl Ctarl ship...
1398
1399Aisha: What?! You mean the outlaw Hilda?! That was her ship?
1400
1401McCoy: Woah, Hilda's famous, even in the empire...
1402
1403McCoy Henchman1: She sure is.
1404
1405Aisha: Tell me where she's headed!
1406
1407McCoy: Even if I knew I wouldn't tell ya. Errr...
1408
1409Aisha: Grrr...
1410
1411Aisha: These outlaws will face execution later. Go after her at once.
1412
1413Technician3: But we can't.
1414
1415Aisha: What are you saying. Are you defying me?
1416
1417Technician5: They are orders from home. We are to remain here until further instructed.
1418
1419Aisha: What! Do you mean to tell me you've been in contact with home?
1420
1421Technician5: Of course, we were ordered to contact them once we arrived at Blue Heaven.
1422
1423Aisha: Grrr....
1424
1425// Meanwhile, Horis comes out of sub-ether mode.
1426
1427Gene: Oh great, are we there yet?
1428
1429Hilda: No, we have to go to sub-ether 3 more times.
1430
1431Gene: Ugh...
1432
1433Horis: Time required to fix sub-ether drive, 2 hours 10 minutes.
1434
1435Hilda: Get some rest everyone.
1436
1437Gene: Before I rest, I have a question. What is the Galactic Leyline?
1438
1439Hilda: That's simple. It's a place the Kai pirates are desperate to find.
1440
1441Gene: Why?
1442
1443Hilda: Apparantly, they say there's some kind of huge treasure that's supposed to be hidden there.
1444
1445Gene: One other thing. Who's this MacDougal Character?
1446
1447Hilda: Horis.
1448
1449Horis: The MacDougal brothers. They call themselves outlaws, but their position is unclear. They
1450will take any job for the right price. Other than that, no personal information is available.
1451
1452Gene: Why the heck are they poking around your business?
1453
1454Hilda: Why don't you just ask him?
1455
1456Gene and Jim: Hmmm...?
1457
1458Hilda: (laughs)
1459
1460// Later, they come out of Sub-Ether near a planet.
1461
1462Hilda: The moon of that planet. That's where we'll meet my friends.
1463
1464Hilda: This is Horis. Marx, O'Malley, come in please. Anything on radar?
1465
1466Melfina: No, I'm not picking up any spaceships.
1467
1468Gene: Did you get here at the right time? Maybe we're just early.
1469
1470Hilda: They should have come a long time ago.
1471
1472Gene: You think you got stood up?
1473
1474Hilda: I doubt that.
1475
1476Melfina: I'm picking up something on radar, but its...
1477
1478Horis: I'm picking it up on the cameras as well. Enlarging.
1479
1480Hilda: I'm taking us in.
1481
1482// They fly through the wreckage.
1483
1484Hilda: Oh no... That's the Leprechan's nose art.
1485
1486Horis: Debris ahead verified as the Leprechan and the Purgatory.
1487
1488Melfina: I see a ship that's lifting off from the moon's surface.
1489
1490Hilda: What?
1491
1492Melfina: It's closing in at high speed.
1493
1494Horis: Warning. It's that pirate vessel.
1495
1496// The pirate ship sends out fighters. Inside...
1497
1498Ron: Just like I told you.
1499
1500Girl Pirate: Thank you, Mister MacDougal.
1501
1502Ron: Don't mention it. I knew that the guild would pay for the information, so it was an easy
1503job. Tell me, is there any other way I can be of any help for you? My brother will launch
1504our ship if you need us to.
1505
1506Girl Pirate: This is our job now, that won't be necessary.
1507
1508// On Horis...
1509
1510Hilda: You had to go and hurt more of my friends, didn't ya.
1511
1512Gene: So what are we gonna do now?
1513
1514Hilda: Accelerate and fly down their throats. Gene, take the gunner's chair.
1515
1516Gene: You mean me? I can fire that, but I'm not gonna hit anything.
1517
1518Hilda: Just how long are you gonna keep whining?
1519
1520Gene: If I can't hit anything, I can't hit anything.
1521
1522Hilda: You're just gonna keep running away?
1523
1524Gene: Just keep running away? I'm not running.
1525
1526// He has a flashback of his father's death again.
1527
1528Gene: Don't start whining if I puke all over everything.
1529
1530Hilda: If you want to be a spacer, hold it in.
1531
1532Gene: Oh man... what a slave driver.
1533
1534// Gene heads to the Gunner's chair.
1535
1536Gene: Jim, I'll take over.
1537
1538Jim: Hey, don't over do it Gene.
1539
1540Gene: Eh... I'm a natural born spacer. Don't you worry about it, Jim.
1541
1542// The pirates arrive to attack.
1543
1544Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. You won't get away Hilda.
1545
1546Horis: Pirate co-fighters are approaching.
1547
1548Hilda: Lasers won't work on them. Use missiles.
1549
1550Gene: Yeah, I got it.
1551
1552// Gene shoots missiles at the fighters.
1553
1554Old Man: Waaaaa!!!
1555
1556// He shoots some sort of device at Horis.
1557
1558Horis: Small craft has made contact to starboard. No damage.
1559
1560Gene: Okay you wiseguys, its your time to get it.
1561
1562Old Man: (laughs)
1563
1564// He gets away.
1565
1566Ron: You're gonna let them escape?
1567
1568Girl Pirate: You needn't concern yourself.
1569
1570Ron: Oh?
1571
1572Old Man: We've branded you Hilda> You will never be able to escape us now. We'll take back
1573everything that you stole from us. You'll regret what you've done.
1574
1575// Horis gets away.
1576
1577Hilda: Head straight for Farfalas Horis. Calculate sub-ether course.
1578
1579Horis: Roger.
1580
1581Gene: Hey, where is this farfa whatever place?
1582
1583Hilda: Its a star system about 40 light years from here with a lot of natural resources. It's
1584a desert island in space.
1585
1586Gene: So why are we going there?
1587
1588Hilda: The ship I told you about before is hidden there.
1589
1590Gene: Huh? You actually gave me a straight answer for once.
1591
1592Hilda: Because I found out I could use you as a crew member.
1593
1594Gene: Ah, what are you talking about... ewww...
1595
1596Jim: Okee dokee, Gene, off to the bathroom, hang in there.
1597
1598Melfina: Umm...
1599
1600Hilda: Hmm...?
1601
1602Melfina: Why did you bring me along?
1603
1604Hilda: Would you have prefered to stay back there with them?
1605
1606Melfina: Not really.
1607
1608Hilda: I would never mistreat you.
1609
1610Melfina: Alright.
1611
1612// On the pirate ship...
1613
1614Girl Pirate: Once all spacecrafts are aboard you may begin the pursuit.
1615
1616Ron: Do you need help tracking them?
1617
1618Girl Pirate: I don't.
1619
1620Ron: In that case I'll be going. My brother is here to pick me up.
1621
1622// On his ship...
1623
1624Ron: This should prove to be interesting. Heh heh heh heh.
1625
1626// At Blue Heaven...
1627
1628Governer: This is a disgrace Aisha Clan Clan. Our reports clearly state that Hilda's ship Horis
1629was right under your nose and you let him get away.
1630
1631Aisha: But governer... At that time uh... I did not have that information.
1632
1633Technician: Lady Aisha, thats simply a comm cube you're looking at, its just a recording.
1634
1635Aisha: (whines)
1636
1637Governer: And therefore Aisha Clan Clan, your rank as Ambassador Planet Petentiary is here by
1638stripped. You will remain at Blue Heaven as a resident officer and gather information
1639regarding the Galactic Leyline.
1640
1641Aisha: Oh no...! Governer, I beg of you thats way too harsh.
1642
1643Technician: I'm telling you, he can't hear you.
1644
1645Governer: The Orta Hone Hone will depart Blue Heaven and continue tracking Horis. That will be
1646all.
1647
1648Technicians: (cheer) Leave port! (10 times)
1649
1650
1651Aisha: (whines)
1652
1653// Meanwhile, Horis reaches a star.
1654
1655Gene: Oh come on, brother, is it a little hot in here?
1656
1657Hilda: We're getting closer to the sun. Hang in there.
1658
1659Gene: Well how much closer do you plan on taking us?
1660
1661Hilda: Just a little more.
1662
1663Gene: What? Oh yeah thats great, just a little more and we'll dive right into it.
1664
1665Horis: I found it, Hilda.
1666
1667// Focus on an asteroid near the star.
1668
1669Hilda: There it is. Thats a ship out there. A very special ship. One's that built with the brains
1670of the pirates and the technology of the Space Forces.
1671
1672Gene: Space Forces and the pirates?
1673
1674Hilda: Matching orbits with the asteroid. I'm taking us in.
1675
1676Horis: Roger.

1683Script- Episode 4
1684When The Hot Ice Melts
1685
1686
1687
1688
1689
1690Narrator: Grappler arms were originally manipulators that were attached to EPE crafts. At first,
1691it was the Chinese pirates that put the arm's abilities to new and devious uses. After
1692the Chinese transport carried dragonite from planet to planet, the pirates began to
1693attack their own craft with surprising intensity. To the pirates of the era, arms
1694symbolized the strength of their ships and before long they integrated the arms into
1695their attack methods. The Federation Space Forces became extremely irate with this
1696situation and began developing grappler arms of their own, bragging that they planned
1697to formally equip space forces fighters with them in the near future. They would be
1698a force to be reckoned with. Because of the complicated manner in which space fighters
1699used these grappler arms, space combat was clearly impossible without the aid of
1700powerful computers. The combination of grappler amrs and potent computers savagly
1701pushed human physical and mental capacity to their limits and those that survived
1702battle were spoken of with respect. They were known as grapplers.
1703
1704Horus: We have entered the same orbit as the asteroid.
1705
1706Hilda: Alright, I'm gonna take us it.
1707
1708Jim: Woah!
1709
1710// The anchors attach to the asteroid.
1711
1712Hilda: Okay guys, we're going over.
1713
1714// The dropshift detaches and heads into the asteroid.

1718When The Hot Ice Melts
1719
1720------------------------
1721
1722Jim: Woah! Awesome!
1723
1724Gene: So this is it.
1725
1726Melfina: Ah...
1727
1728Hilda: That's it, the XGP15A2. A special ship. Built with the pirate's brains and the space
1729forces's technology. C'mon, let's go.
1730
1731// She jumps to the hatch.
1732
1733Gene: Oh hey. Wait a minute, don't leave us here.
1734
1735Jim: Ah... Poor little baby. I'll hold your hand if you want me to.
1736
1737
1738
1739Gene: Lay off, will ya.
1740
1741Melfina: The XGP... 15A2...
1742
1743Hilda: Melfina, come!
1744
1745Melfina: I'm coming!
1746
1747// They open the hatch and head inside.
1748
1749Gene: Check it out! The controls are pretty unusual.
1750
1751Hilda: Like I told you, this ship is pretty special.
1752
1753Jim: So what's that Hilda?
1754
1755Hilda: It's an alarm claft.
1756
1757Gene: You mean to tell me the pirates and the space forces worked together to build this thing?
1758
1759Hilda: The pirates couldn't have developed this ship on their own. They used money and connections
1760to get space forces to sign on.
1761
1762Jim: But what in the world are you doing with a ship thats hidden in a place like this?
1763
1764Hilda: It's here because I swiped it from them.
1765
1766Jim: Wow, I'm impressed. You managed to get on the bad side of the pirates and the space forces.
1767
1768Hilda: I owed em one.
1769
1770// The countdown is started and after, the ship is activated.
1771
1772Jim: Wow!
1773
1774// A sound comes out of nowhere.
1775
1776Gene: Hey what was that sound?
1777
1778Gilliam: Good morning and good day to you. Ladies, and of course gentlemen.
1779
1780Gene: Who are you?
1781
1782Gilliam: I am myself. But it is inappropriate for me to subjectivly define who I am. I'd take
1783means to test the veracity of any such definition. And the restraints therefore have
1784been placed within me restricting such an act.
1785
1786Gene: What the heck kind of answer is that?
1787
1788Gilliam: The only answer I have in regards to myself is that the name I have been granted is
1789Gilliam 2. And that I have been authorized with the maintanence of this vessel.
1790
1791Jim: Hey, he's the ship's computer Gene.
1792
1793Gene: Yeah? Well why didn't he say so?!
1794
1795Gilliam: Incidently, just who might you two gentlemen be?
1796
1797Hilda: They happen to be the crew.
1798
1799Gilliam: One moment please... Oh dear, there seems to be a problem. It appears there is nothing
1800regarding this thats been recorded in my memory.
1801
1802Hilda: Of course not, you've just recently been activated. Just start from now.
1803
1804Gilliam: One moment please... It appears part of my personal service regulations file has been
1805deleted. Shall I attempt to recover it?
1806
1807Hilda: No thats not necessary we are the crew. Obey the orders of the crew.
1808
1809Gilliam: Understood. As it stands, I have no authority to run a search on you.
1810
1811Gene: This is really ticking me off! Just launch the stupid ship, Gilliam! Do it right now!
1812
1813Gilliam: Of course sir.
1814
1815Gilliam: Oh my, and who might this be? Interesting.
1816
1817Gilliam: Personell recording complete. However, currently I am unable to launch this vessel.
1818
1819Gene: Say what?! Are you trying to tell me you aren't the ship's navigational computer?
1820
1821Gilliam: I support all operations of the XGP15A2 except matters pertaining to piloting. They are
1822outside of my control.
1823
1824Gene: Jim, whats wrong with this guy?
1825
1826Jim: Maybe everything's done manually?
1827
1828Gilliam: No, thats unlikely.
1829
1830Hilda: Melfina will handle it.
1831
1832Jim: Huh?
1833
1834Gene: Huh, Melfina?
1835
1836Melfina: Did you say... You mean me?
1837
1838Hilda: Thats right Melfina. She will assist you, Gilliam.
1839
1840Gilliam: Is that so? Then it is understood.
1841
1842Jim: What's understood?
1843
1844Gilliam: That you are this ship's crew.
1845
1846Gene: Ah... This is driving me insane.
1847
1848Hilda: Gilliam, report the ship's status.
1849
1850Gilliam: Navigation is possible but all equipment is not on board.
1851
1852Hilda: Just as long as you can fly.
1853
1854Gilliam: Crew furnishings have not been loaded and food stores are limited to 10 emergency
1855packs. Furthermore, the XGP15A2 has not yet been appointed a designation.
1856
1857Hilda: No name, huh?
1858
1859Jim: How bout Genius James?
1860
1861Gene: Give it a rest.
1862
1863Hilda: The ship's name is...
1864
1865Horus: This is Horus. Hilda, its the pirate ship. Distance, 6000.
1866
1867Hilda: It can't be!
1868
1869// On the pirate ship.
1870
1871Old Man: Impossible!
1872
1873// On XGP.
1874
1875Horus: Magnetic aberation in enemy ship's Tao field delayed detection. Its closing in fast.
1876
1877Hilda: Alright Gene, I want you and the others to launch this ship.
1878
1879Gene: But what about you?
1880
1881Hilda: Horus and I will intercept them.
1882
1883Gene: Wouldn't it be better for all of us to go together?
1884
1885Hilda: I don't want the ship to be taken. Melfina knows how to pilot it. Do it.
1886
1887Gene: C'mon, I felt like puking for hours.
1888
1889Hilda: Quit your whining.
1890
1891// She leaves.
1892
1893Melfina: Uh...
1894
1895Gene: Erh... looks like I got no choice. Gilliam, prepare for launch.
1896
1897Gilliam: Very well. Gene, please sit in the pilot's seat.
1898
1899Gene: Okay.
1900
1901Melfina: Uh... And what about me?
1902
1903Gilliam: Over there Melfina.
1904
1905// A hatch next to her opens.
1906
1907Jim: I suppose I should sit here.
1908
1909Gilliam: Thats fine, James.
1910
1911Jim: Call me Jim.
1912
1913Gene: Okay Gilliam, now what?
1914
1915Gilliam: Holding for Melfina to get ready. I'll display the control manual so please read it
1916while you're waiting.
1917
1918Gene: Whats he mean?
1919
1920// A panel rises from the floor, where Melfina was.
1921
1922Jim: What the heck kind of system is that?
1923
1924Gene: You're guess is as good as mine.
1925
1926// Hilda arrives at her ship.
1927
1928Horus: I am unable to determine how the enemy ship tracked us here.
1929
1930Hilda: Some Tao spell. How are the engines?
1931
1932Horus: Ether Drive Engine is active. Shall I release the anchor?
1933
1934Hilda: They're only after the XGP and Melfina. They won't do anything drastic. Ammunition?
1935
1936Horus: 34% remaining.
1937
1938Hilda: We'll attack from right here.
1939
1940// The enemies head out and the battle begins. Meanwhile, we see Melfina emerced in liquid.
1941
1942Melfina: Connecting. Connecting. Connecting. Connecting. Connecting.
1943
1944// The container opens, revealing her to Gene and Jim.
1945
1946Melfina: Connection established. I'll activate the engines.
1947
1948Gene: Hey, what the heck is going on here?
1949
1950Jim: Awesome, she's linked up to the ship.
1951
1952Gene: Well I think she's nuts to get all wet at a time like this.
1953
1954Melfina: Uh oh. The engines are sealed, we need to activate them now or they won't work.
1955
1956Gene: Uh... where do I, uh?
1957
1958Gilliam: The engine room please.
1959
1960Jim: The engine room?
1961
1962Gilliam: I'll show you the way.
1963
1964Jim: Okay, I'll be right back.
1965
1966Gene: Sure.
1967
1968// He follows a Gilliam bot there.
1969
1970Gene: Man, this ship is a royal pain.
1971
1972Gilliam: It only appears that way at first. You might think of it as it were still in its
1973plastic wrapper.
1974
1975Gene: Has it been flight tested?
1976
1977Gilliam: The engine itself has been tested, but there is no record of it being tested after
1978installation.
1979
1980Gene: Ow... are you kidding me?
1981
1982Melfina: Bring up all sensors.
1983
1984Gilliam: This ship outside is hailing us. Shall I open the channel Gene?
1985
1986Gene: Patch her through right away.
1987
1988// Meanwhile...
1989
1990Hilda: Gene, how much longer?
1991
1992Gene: Don't ask me!
1993
1994// A trio of pirate fighters land on Horus.
1995
1996Hilda: Just picked up a case of termites, hurry!
1997
1998// In the engine room...
1999
2000Jim: Oh. Man, these guys are uptight.
2001
2002Gilliam: I'm told that its a space forces tradition.
2003
2004// Meanwhile, the Old Man and a group of pirates enter the dock room.
2005
2006Old Man: Oh, so thats it. Let's go.
2007
2008-----------------------
2009
2010Eyecatch
2011
2012-----------------------
2013
2014Gilliam: Warning, intruders have entered the dock.
2015
2016Gene: Say what?
2017
2018// On the pirate ship.
2019
2020Girl Pirate: Lock all guns on Horus. Once the XGP is secured, fire at will.
2021
2022Hilda: Leave anchors and accelerate slowly. We'll rotate the asteroid and use it as a shield.
2023
2024// It does so.
2025
2026Girl Pirate: Blast you Hilda, trying to protect yourself with the asteroid! Seperate the Grappler
2027ship. Take us to the sun side of the asteroid.
2028
2029// The grappler ship detaches from the rest of the ship. Meanwhile, Gene fires at the pirates.
2030
2031
2032
2033Old Man: Don't fire at random! Split up and attack him from all sides!
2034
2035Gene: Ah!
2036
2037// He closes the hatch.
2038
2039Gene: Gilliam, how do I get that gate open?
2040
2041Gilliam: I can open it by remote.
2042
2043Gene: Open it!
2044
2045// The hatch opens, sucking out most of the pirates.
2046
2047Old Man: Yeeeaaahhh!
2048
2049Gene: Gilliam, hows it coming?
2050
2051Gilliam: Startup preperations are complete.
2052
2053Gene: Alright.
2054
2055Melfina: Please start the engines with the ignition key.
2056
2057Gene: Thats easy.
2058
2059// He starts it.
2060
2061Gilliam: Engines online. Generators operational. Switching power over from sub circuits to main.
2062
2063Jim: Oh! We're lifting up.
2064
2065Melfina: All systems green. Ether drive engine standing by.
2066
2067Gene: Allright. We'll launch once that gate's open.
2068
2069Gilliam: Roger that.
2070
2071// The gate opens.
2072
2073Gene: Okay then. Huh?
2074
2075// The pirate ship blocks the gate.
2076
2077Gene: What the heck?
2078
2079Jim: Whats that gate doing pointed at the bad guys?
2080
2081Old Man: Cut your engines. If at all possible we want that ship undamaged.
2082
2083Gene: Hilda! We're in trouble here.
2084
2085Hilda: I'm a little busy right now. Release all anchors!
2086
2087// Horus detaches from the asteroid, but the grappler ship grabs on to it.
2088
2089Hilda: Uh... blast it!
2090
2091Girl Pirate: We have you now, Hilda.
2092
2093Gene: Gilliam?! Where are the weapons?
2094
2095Gilliam: The grappler arms are operational, but they have no weapons.
2096
2097Gene: We're going out!
2098
2099Jim: But we'll crash into them!
2100
2101Gene: Its alright, I'll think of something.
2102
2103Gilliam: Please focus on the task at hand.
2104
2105Gene: That's an order!
2106
2107// The grappler arms detach from the ship for use.
2108
2109Old Man: They're going to use their grappler arms. It will damage the ship but we have no
2110choice. Fire all anchors!
2111
2112Jim: Ah! Hurry Gene, hurry!
2113
2114Gene: Oh no man!
2115
2116// Suddenly, there's a large explosion on the pirate ship.
2117
2118Old Man: What the heck?!
2119
2120Gene: What is that?
2121
2122Melfina: I'm picking up an object on sensors.
2123
2124Gilliam: Its a thermonuclear missile or shell. Something of that nature.
2125
2126Old Man: What the heck happened?
2127
2128Pirate: We're under attack sire! Thats... that's MacDougal's ship!
2129
2130Old Man: Oh no, what is MacDougal doing?
2131
2132// The rest of the pirate ship is destroyed.
2133
2134Jim: Errh...
2135
2136Girl Pirate: But why are you doing this MacDougal?
2137
2138Hilda: What are you up to MacDougal?
2139
2140Ron: Hey Hilda, its been a very long time.
2141
2142// They shoot at the asteroid.
2143
2144Hilda: You'll destroy the XGP!
2145
2146Ron: Thats the general idea.
2147
2148Girl Pirate: You have double crossed us!
2149
2150Ron: As of now our contract with you has ended. We're carrying out a new contract and thats all
2151there is to it. And that contract is to wipe out the XGP.
2152
2153Old Man: Erh.... Ah! At this rate we won't be able to escape the star's gravity well!
2154
2155Girl Pirate: Come back please hurry up!
2156
2157Jim: Ehh....
2158
2159Gene: Can you see what's going on outside?
2160
2161Gilliam: I'm not sure, but the dock cameras are still active.
2162
2163// They turn on, showing MacDougal's ship.
2164
2165Gene: Ah... Hey wait, I know that ship.
2166
2167// He has a flashback of his father's death and sees MacDougal's ship there.
2168
2169Gene: I can't believe it, MacDougal.
2170
2171Ron: Alright, launch the Helsion Missile.
2172
2173Harry: Alright! Helsion Missile!
2174
2175Ron: This is my way of saying goodbye, Hot Ice Hilda. That name of yours has caused us plenty
2176of unnecessary trouble.
2177
2178// They shoot it at the asteroid, causing it to plunge into the star.
2179
2180Hilda: Uh...
2181
2182Harry: Man, you know brother thats totally a waste.
2183
2184Ron: Its okay, we don't need the XGP. Remember, we're the ones with the fastest ship in the
2185galaxy.
2186
2187Harry: I meant Hilda. Didn't you tell me that she was really cute?
2188
2189Ron: Sorry, she's not your type. Alright, lets go back and report to our client.
2190
2191// They leave, but the chaos continues...
2192
2193Pirate: A gravity catapult around Farfalas would put us too close to a flair. The ship would
2194burn up!
2195
2196Girl Pirate: I know that. All engines max!
2197
2198Old Man: Hilda and MacDougal you will pay for this you blasted outlaws.
2199
2200Horus: We are unable to escape from Farfalas's gravity.
2201
2202Hilda: Gene do you hear me? Come in!
2203
2204// Nothing...
2205
2206Hilda: Gene! Melfina! Respond!
2207
2208// Suddenly, the XGP tears its way out of the asteroid.
2209
2210Gene: Yeah!
2211
2212Old Man: Huh? Hmm...
2213
2214Gilliam: The ship is now in the clear.
2215
2216Melfina: Stabalizing attitude.
2217
2218Gene: Once we're stabilized bring engines to full!
2219
2220Gilliam: If you do it all at once the engines may not become stable.
2221
2222Gene: Whats more important, the engines or the whole darn ship?
2223
2224Gilliam: Well then, feel free.
2225
2226Gene: Let's rock!
2227
2228// The XGP blasts off.
2229
2230Girl Pirate: What kind of ship is that?
2231
2232Old Man: That ship has 4 Hansueng engines. Very well, prepare for close quarters combat. We'll
2233board them with our grappler arms!
2234
2235Hilda: Prepare the lander for launch. I'm going over.
2236
2237Melfina: Engine output 81 percent. We've exceeded Farfalas's escape velocity.
2238
2239Gene: Where's Horus?
2240
2241Jim: Gene, the pirate ship, look! Ah!
2242
2243Gene: Don't mess with me, losers!
2244
2245// The XGP smashes through the pirate ship's grappler arm.
2246
2247Old Man: Aaaahhhh!
2248
2249Gene: Hilda, come in!
2250
2251Hilda: Grab me!
2252
2253// The pirate ship shoots an anchor at the XGP, hitting the lander.
2254
2255Hilda: Ah!
2256
2257Gene: Hilda, no! Hilda, are you okay?
2258
2259Hilda: Blast, I can't make it, you'll have to save me!
2260
2261Gene: Come save you?
2262
2263Hilda: Hurry up!
2264
2265Gene: Well, can we do it Melfina?
2266
2267Melfina: If we decellerate we'll go below escape velocity.
2268
2269Gilliam: And we can't accelerate now due to that pirate ship. If you don't do something, we'll
2270fall into the star.
2271
2272Jim: C'mon Gene, yank up that wire will ya?
2273
2274Hilda: Wait, listen, don't cut that anchor yet. Sorry, but I have to leave you Horus.
2275
2276Horus: I understand. Goodbye Hilda.
2277
2278// She heads out and grabs on to the wire.
2279
2280
2281
2282Gene: Move on it, Hilda!
2283
2284Melfina: Increasing output 85... 86... 87...
2285
2286Girl Pirate: Hilda!
2287
2288// Hilda shoots at her.
2289
2290Girl Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
2291
2292Hilda: Help Gene!
2293
2294// Suddenly, the wire snaps.
2295
2296Hilda and Girl Pirate: Ah!
2297
2298Gene: Hilda, I'm coming, hang in there!
2299
2300Gilliam: You musn't, we'll just fall into Farfalas as well.
2301
2302Jim: What about the ship's anchor?
2303
2304Gilliam: The distance is too great.
2305
2306Gene: Errh... Blast it!
2307
2308Hilda: So there's nothing they can really do. Huh?
2309
2310Girl Pirate: I won't let your people survive. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
2311Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
2312
2313// Hilda grabs on to her.
2314
2315Girl Pirate: What are you doing? Don't interfere!
2316
2317Hilda: Still read me Gene? Just remember, outlaws never go down easy, no matter what happens to
2318them.
2319
2320// They all fall into the star.
2321
2322Gilliam: We have just exited Farfalas's gravity well.
2323
2324Jim: Gene...
2325
2326Gilliam: Gene, please lay the course.
2327
2328Gene: Before we do that, there's something I've decided on.
2329
2330Gilliam: Yes? What is it, Gene?
2331
2332Gene: I've decided to name the ship. I'm naming it the Outlaw Star!

2338The Beast Girl. Ready to Pounce!
2339
2340
2341
2342
2343
2344Narrator: This young girl grew up with joy, laughter and friendships. She felt nothing but the
2345pleasure of being in her place in the sun. This girl was born into a proud, noble
2346family, surrounded by love and graduated with honors from the highest academic
2347institution in the land. Now, not graduating with honors was only a faint shadow.
2348But in her land, where respect was given to rank, it held great meaning. The post
2349given to those who graduated with honor was space. She was then cast out of her place
2350in the sun. She had no other choice, the choice was not hers. She was officer Aisha
2351Clan Clan of the Ctarl Ctarl empire. Now the pleasure of her last place in the sun will
2352never return.
2353
2354Aisha: It can't end like this! I won't let it!
2355
2356// At Blue Heaven...
2357
2358Mikey: Hey Swanzo, are you there?
2359
2360Swanzo: Mikey? Haven't I told you before never to call me here?
2361
2362Mikey: Sorry, its an emergency. Remember those people who were with Hilda a while back?
2363
2364Swanzo: Uh... You talking about those kids?
2365
2366Mikey: They're asking for docking clearance. They want us to do something about the control room.
2367
2368Swanzo: What do you mean? Horus shouldn't have any trouble getting in. And where is Hilda?
2369
2370Mikey: The ship isn't Horus, Swanzo. And it doesn't look like Horus's with them from what I can
2371tell.
2372
2373Swanzo: Hilda's not with them?
2374
2375--------------------------------
2376
2377The Beast Girl. Ready to Pounce!
2378
2379--------------------------------
2380
2381Swanzo: I can't believe it, Hilda's dead?
2382
2383Gene: Yep, believe it or not, thats what happened. This ship was all that was left.
2384
2385Swanzo: So, what are you gonna do now sonny?
2386
2387Gene: I don't know. I don't understand whats going on. Hilda, the pirates, the Galactic Leyline,
2388MacDougal. I'd like to start by figuring some of this stuff out.
2389
2390Swanzo: Be careful.
2391
2392Gene: Can you do me a favor?
2393
2394Swanzo: What?
2395
2396Gene: Well, the Outlaw Star here doesn't have a registration number, so we can't get into any
2397legitimate ports. The ship isn't outfitted yet. Heck, it hasn't even been painted.
2398
2399Mikey: I see your point. Sow, you got any money?
2400
2401Gene: Sorry, but I don't have anything on me.
2402
2403Mikey: Around here we don't work for free.
2404
2405Gene: How about I pay you when I make it big?
2406
2407Mikey: Make it big? Hey this guy's a piece of work. (laughs)
2408
2409Swanzo: Deal.
2410
2411Mikey: Huh? Swanzo, are you insane?
2412
2413Swanzo: I owe Hilda.
2414
2415Mikey: Errhhh...
2416
2417Jim: Excuse me.
2418
2419Mikey: Now what?
2420
2421Jim: We're short on a lot of other things. She can fly, but thats about it. Like we also need
2422weapons and ammunition.
2423
2424Swanzo: The registration number and paint job will repay what I owe Hilda.
2425
2426Jim: Wha?
2427
2428Swanzo: Anyway, its useless. You can't get weapons for a grappler ship here. After that, you
2429gotta make it big. Understand, son?
2430
2431Gene: Alright, I understand. One more thing.
2432
2433Mikey: Now what is it?!
2434
2435Gene: I'd like you to give me some information. About this ship, Hilda, MacDougal, and the pirates.
2436
2437Swanzo: 5 years ago Hilda saved me when I was under attack by Ban pirates. Thats when we first
2438met. All I knew about her beforehand were simply rumors. Like the Galactic Leyline she
2439was after.
2440
2441Gene: So you 2 had a cool relationship.
2442
2443Swanzo: Cool? As far as I was concerned it was pretty great. Hot Ice Hilda.
2444
2445Gene: Hot Ice Hilda?
2446
2447Swanzo: Hilda's nickname.
2448
2449Gene: Well, she didn't talk about herself much. No matter how hot it got. She had a way of
2450keeping things secret.
2451
2452Swanzo: It was the Kai pirates that were after Hilda. Thats all I know.
2453
2454Gene: And MacDougal?
2455
2456Swanzo: He's a pro at covering his tracks. I dont' know anything about him.
2457
2458Gene: Hmm... Suits me just fine. Then I'll have to hunt down his tracks by his scent.
2459
2460Swanzo: There is one other thing you should know. The Ctarl Ctarl woman was poking around here.
2461She was trying to find out where Hilda and Horus might be.
2462
2463Jim: She must be from that ship! A Ctarl Ctarl!
2464
2465Swanzo: That battleship of theirs has already left. Well, we better get back to work. Why don't
2466you find something to do in town for a day?
2467
2468Gene: We appreciate it.
2469
2470Swanzo: Nah, don't mention it. By the way, whats your favorite color? You have to decide what
2471color the hull's going to be.
2472
2473Gene: (pointing to hair) This color here I guess.
2474
2475Swanzo: Got it.
2476
2477Gene: Gilliam, for one day try to behave yourself.
2478
2479Gilliam: Very well.
2480
2481// At the hotel...
2482
2483Jim: Hey, don't feel bad, cheer up. Uh... C'mon Gene, I was only trying to...
2484
2485Gene: ...anything about herself. Why should she feel sad?
2486
2487Jim: Yeah, but...
2488
2489Melfina: It's alright.
2490
2491Jim: Huh?
2492
2493Melfina: I do have a sense of sadness about what has happened. After all, Hilda's the person who
2494saved me, I owe her my life.
2495
2496Gene: Did you say you're sad? Erh... right, sad.
2497
2498Jim: Ah, you're just mad Gene. She said she feels that way, so thats the way she feels.
2499
2500Gene: I'm not mad.
2501
2502// Flashes back to Hilda's death.
2503
2504Gene: Guess I could be.
2505
2506// Later, as they walk through Blue Heaven...
2507
2508Gene: So, you really don't remember anything at all before Hilda came and rescued you?
2509
2510Melfina: No.
2511
2512Gene: Ah, man. Well, if you remember anything at all, be sure to tell us.
2513
2514Melfina: Alright.
2515
2516Jim: Oh, by the way Gene, do you think you've gotten over that space phobia of your's yet?
2517
2518Gene: I don't know. Oh... Its still kinda hard to breathe. What am I gonna do?
2519
2520Jim: Man, its a woner you were even able to pilot the Outlaw Star long enough to get us here.
2521
2522Gene: Its different with that ship. I don't know, I guess its cause I don't feel like I'm all
2523cooped up in there.
2524
2525Melfina: Thats the physical navigation system.
2526
2527Gene: Oh... So you only remember stuff about the ship, huh?
2528
2529Melfina: Yeah, it seems so. I wish I could remember.
2530
2531Jim: Anyway, lets go get something to eat! I'm starving, huh? What do you say, guys?
2532
2533Gene: Yeah, you're right. Let's go.
2534
2535Jim: So Melfina, what do you wanna eat?
2536
2537Melfina: Oh, anything's fine.
2538
2539// However, they hear a voice from a cloaked figure behind them.
2540
2541Aisha: Hey, you people hold it right there. I've waited and waited and I'm not waiting anymore.
2542
2543Gene: Oh yeah, who are you?
2544
2545Aisha: I wanna know where Hilda is.
2546
2547Gene: Hey, what do you know about Hilda?
2548
2549Aisha: I'm asking the questions here, stop wasting my time. now you will answer me, where is
2550Hilda?
2551
2552Gene: Oh really. What do we have here? Another pushy little lady making her entrance.
2553
2554Jim: What's your name, huh?
2555
2556Aisha: My name is... Aisha Clan Clan!
2557
2558Jim: She's a Ctarl Ctarl Gene!
2559
2560Gene: Well, now I'm interested.
2561
2562Aisha: I already happen to know that you and Hilda work together so stop fooling around and tell
2563me where she is!
2564
2565Gene: Look, sorry about that little run in, we happened to be in a bit of a hurry. Your ship
2566wasn't damaged, was it?
2567
2568Aisha: There was plenty of damage to me. Now answer me, where is Hilda?
2569
2570Gene: Hilda's dead.
2571
2572Aisha: What did you say?
2573
2574Gene: Well, that should answer your question. Ok, see ya.
2575
2576Aisha: Hold it right there! Tell me the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline. Since you worked
2577with Hilda, you should know that!
2578
2579Gene: The Galactic Leyline? Hmm... So thats what you're after.
2580
2581Aisha: Tell me the coordinates!
2582
2583Gene: Kay, the coordinates are... listen carefully...
2584
2585Aisha: Mmm hmm...
2586
2587Gene: EXACTLY WHAT THE HECK I'D LIKE TO KNOW!!!
2588
2589Aisha: Yeaah! Blast you, thats not funny!
2590
2591Jim: We're telling you the truth, we don't know.
2592
2593Aisha: So you're gonna play dumb to the bitter end. Then I'll just have to pull the answer out
2594of you by force.
2595
2596Jim: Hey cut it out. I don't want to have to fight a girl. Thats not my style.
2597
2598Aisha: Its not open to discussion.
2599
2600Gene: Well then, in that case... run!
2601
2602// They run from her.
2603
2604Aisha: Huh? You cowards!
2605
2606// She kicks Gene and knocks him over.
2607
2608Jim: Ah! Gene... No!
2609
2610Gene: Darnet.
2611
2612// She attacks again, but they dodge it.
2613
2614Jim: Ah! Oh no, this is really bad Gene, thats a Ctarl Ctarl you're fighting.
2615
2616// They run to an alley. Aisha attacks but, Gene manages to knock her down.
2617
2618Aisha: Huh? Oh no.
2619
2620// She gets back up.
2621
2622Aisha: Not bad.
2623
2624Gene: Ctarl Ctarl. What do you know. You guys just act like average assassins. Well, you just had
2625to go pick a fight with me. Huh?
2626
2627// Aisha removes her cloak.
2628
2629
2630
2631Gene: Hey, I was just kidding.
2632
2633Aisha: I will teach you the true terror of the Ctarl Ctarl. You will soon regret. (laughs)
2634
2635Gene: Now what the heck is she doing, Jim?
2636
2637Jim: Oh no. I remember. The Ctarl Ctarl. Those guys are metamorphs!
2638
2639Gene: Metamorphs?
2640
2641Jim: They change into an animal thats vicious.
2642
2643Aisha: Did you call me an animal? Just watch this power inherited by my ancestors!
2644
2645Gene: Ah!
2646
2647Jim: This is bad Gene.
2648
2649Aisha: This form here which can crush an entire human is usually kept in check for a reason.
2650It's power is severely amplified by the planet's moon!
2651
2652Jim and Gene: Huh?
2653
2654Gene: Uh... Blue Heaven doesn't have a moon.
2655
2656Aisha: Huh? Oh... Come to think of it, it doesn't.
2657
2658Gene: Idiot. Now run!
2659
2660// They run.
2661
2662Aisha: Hey! Come back here!
2663
2664// She picks up her stuff.
2665
2666Aisha: Hold it!
2667
2668Jim: Hey Gene!
2669
2670Aisha: Come back here!
2671
2672Gene: Jim! Go buy some shells!
2673
2674Jim: Buy what shells?
2675
2676Gene: Caster shells!
2677
2678Aisha: Hold it! Come back here!
2679
2680Jim: Ah great... caster shells around here? Now what...
2681
2682-------------------------------
2683
2684Eyecatch
2685
2686-------------------------------
2687
2688// Gene and Melfina reach an upper section of the city.
2689
2690Gene: That was close. Looks like we finally lost her.
2691
2692// Gene sees a giant window into space in front of them.
2693
2694Gene: Uh...
2695
2696Melfina: Oh no, are you alright Gene? There's a bench over there where you can sit down.
2697
2698Gene: Uh... maybe I'll never get over this.
2699
2700// He notices Melfina is staring at a bunch of flowers.
2701
2702Gene: Hey, whats the matter with you? Haven't you seen flowers before?
2703
2704Melfina: They're artificial. These flowers were made just like me. Why was I made? Who made me?
2705And what did they make me for? I... who am I and why am I here?
2706
2707// Gene walks up to her.
2708
2709Gene: I've never seen an android like you before. even when I'm this close I can't tell that
2710you're not human. You eat, you feel sad, you're even able to worry about you're own
2711existence.
2712
2713Melfina: I bet Hilda could have given me the answer but now she's no longer here.
2714
2715// Gene pulls on her cheek.
2716
2717Melfina: Oww, that hurts, please stop doing that to me.
2718
2719Gene: You're surprised, you feel pain, you even complain. Heh heh heh. Bet you could search the
2720whole galaxy and never find one like you. Don't worry, I'll find you an answer someday.
2721You're my responsibility now. I promised Hilda I'd take care of you and I'm going to.
2722
2723Melfina: Take care of me?
2724
2725Gene: Yeah, and our having another mystery or two won't really change anything. Don't worry,
2726Melfina I'll find your past.
2727
2728Melfina: Ah!
2729
2730Gene: But to be perfectly honest we don't have a single clue to go on. Of course asking the
2731pirates would be the easiest thing. No way, I'd rather eat crow.
2732
2733Melfina: Yeah, I feel the same way.
2734
2735Gene: You'd rather eat crow? Heh.
2736
2737Melfina: No, uh I mean... I guess so.
2738
2739Gene: Melfina, it'll be a long road, but I'd like you to come with us.
2740
2741Melfina: If I won't be too much trouble.
2742
2743Gene: You won't be any trouble. Anyway, without you, it would be a royal pain in the you know
2744what to pilot the Outlaw Star.
2745
2746Melfina: Right!
2747
2748Gene: All right, that settles it. Jim, you there? You read me Jim? Where are you?
2749
2750Jim: Some place that most likely... doesn't have shells.
2751
2752Gene: It looks like we gave her the slip. Lets meet at the corner.
2753
2754Jim: Ok.
2755
2756Gene: Aahhh!
2757
2758Jim: What is it, whats going on Gene?
2759
2760Aisha: Be a good boy and give yourself up.
2761
2762Gene: Ah man, you're persistant.
2763
2764Aisha: Shut up! Arrr!
2765
2766Gene: Stand back Mel.
2767
2768Aisha: Grrr...
2769
2770// They fight. He swipes at her with a knife, but does no damage.
2771
2772Aisha: Hmph.
2773
2774Gene: Ah!
2775
2776Aisha: Hee hee.
2777
2778// She breaks it with ease.
2779
2780Gene: Ah! What the hecks that skin of yours made of?
2781
2782Aisha: That was just half of my strength. I think I'll show you what our full beast strength is
2783huh. Arrr!
2784
2785// She falls over.
2786
2787Gene: Oh...
2788
2789Aisha: I must have burnt too many calories.
2790
2791// Later, they eat at a restaurant...
2792
2793Aisha: Yum...
2794
2795Gene: So just because of what happened they deliberately stranded you here at Blue Heaven?
2796
2797Aisha: I have a title as resident officer.
2798
2799Jim: But don't you get some kind of salary?
2800
2801Aisha: I just don't get any money from the empire. Yeah, if I used any of my own money to track
2802you down, I would have been broke in no time.
2803
2804Gene: If we're not careful guys, she's gonna eat the food right off our plates.
2805
2806Jim: Hey, these are delicious. You wanna try them?
2807
2808Melfina: Ah... Thank you very much.
2809
2810Aisha: Ah...
2811
2812Gene: Man, you can really chow down.
2813
2814Jim: That was supposed to feed 4 people...
2815
2816Aisha: May I...
2817
2818Jim: Yeah?
2819
2820Gene: What now?
2821
2822Aisha: Yum, I'm ready for seconds!
2823
2824Gene: Ah... suit yourself.
2825
2826Aisha: Get me another! Get me another!
2827
2828Gene: In any case, we don't know anything. We don't have any informatioon that would be of use
2829to you.
2830
2831Aisha: Ah!
2832
2833Melfina: You know, these are good.
2834
2835Jim: They sure are. I think I'll have some too.
2836
2837Aisha: Ah... I'm so stuffed I couldn't possibly have another bite.
2838
2839Gene: Okay, look I offered to buy you dinner because I felt a little guilty. Now I'd say this
2840makes us even.
2841
2842Aisha: Heh heh. What a sucker. You terrans are such saps! A measely contribution like this would
2843never appease a CtarlL Ctarl...
2844
2845Jim: Uh...
2846
2847Gene: Appease? Now wait just a minute here.
2848
2849Aisha: Understand this. A proud Ctarl Ctarl pays no heed to an enemy's compassion.
2850
2851Gene: Well, I dont' think I do understand, so there must be something wrong with your standard.
2852
2853Aisha: Silence! Don't tell me that you don't know anything. In the name of the Ctarl Ctarl empire
2854I place you under arrest. If you have a problem with that...
2855
2856Jim: ...You're gonna turn back into an animal.
2857
2858Aisha: Who are you calling an animal? Transformed, my strength would be enough to rip both of
2859you to shreds. Now I have more than enough energy to use all of my beast strength.
2860
2861Gene: And who do you have to thank for that?
2862
2863Aisha: You don't expect any gratitude, do ya? Do you honestly thing that would work on a Ctarl
2864Ctarl?
2865
2866Gene: Man, these Ctarl Ctarl really are something else, ya know?
2867
2868Aisha: Perhaps you don't understand, because a gun will never work on an immortal Ctarl Ctarl.
2869
2870Gene: Is that so?
2871
2872// He shoots her with his caster.
2873
2874Aisha: Yaaaa!
2875
2876Gene: You are an immortal Ctarl Ctarl. Waiter, you can just put everything on her tab. She says
2877that she's the Ctarl Ctarl resident officer. And don't let her weasel out of it.
2878
2879Aisha: meow... meow...
2880
2881// They head to the dock, where the Outlaw Star is all ready.
2882
2883Jim: Woah... Totally awesome.
2884
2885Gene: Nice.
2886
2887Swanzo: I've also got the ship's registration number. I gave it to the ship's computer.
2888
2889Mikey: What is it with that geezer computer? That stupid thing never seems to shut up.
2890
2891Gene: I know what you're saying man. But we can't do anything about it, he's totally integrated
2892with the ship.
2893
2894Gilliam: Pardon me, but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't that an indirect insult?
2895
2896Gene: Hey! Stay out of it.
2897
2898Gilliam: I'm worried about my future prospects Gene.
2899
2900Gene: Shut up! I really appreciate the help Swanzo, Mikey.
2901
2902Swanzo: Sure, so what are you gonna do now?
2903
2904Gene: Well, for the time being I guess we'll plan to head back to Sentinel 3. After that, its all
2905up in the air.
2906
2907Swanzo: Ah...
2908
2909// He shows Gene a map of the territory they're in.
2910
2911Swanzo: The territory of the Kai Pirates, the ones that were after Hilda, were originally around
2912here. The Tenpan Empire. The area we're in is inside the Ban Pirates territory. Those
2913Kai guys probably won't do anything too drastic, but you should be careful if you go out
2914past Heiphong.
2915
2916Gene: Got it.
2917
2918Mikey: So what do you plan on doing back on Sentinel 3?
2919
2920Gene: I'll use some connections I have to get some parts and weapons that we're a little bit short
2921on.
2922
2923Jim: Gene, no way are you really gonna contact him?
2924
2925Gene: Like we have a choice Jim.
2926
2927Mikey: A broker on Sentinel 3? Are you talking about Fred Lou?
2928
2929Jim: You've heard of Lou?
2930
2931Swanzo: Yeah, I've had some cool deals with his father.
2932
2933Mikey; Yeah well if I had the chance I'd pass on any hot deals with Fred.
2934
2935Jim: C'mon, you can't Gene!
2936
2937Gene: Hey, he's not one of the bad guys don't worry nothings gonna go wrong.
2938
2939Jim: Oh...
2940
2941Gene: Hey, thanks for the help. We just might need it again someday. And if we do, you know we'll
2942be sure to come calling.
2943
2944Mikey: Yeah, well be sure to make it big cause I"m not working for free anymore.
2945
2946Swanzo: Redfon Vesidault. Uh...
2947
2948Gene: Is that corboneze?
2949
2950Swanzo: Wups, I mean bon voyage.
2951
2952Gene: RIght... Thanks a lot Swanzo.
2953
2954// The Outlaw Star takes off.
2955
2956Gene: Control Room this is the Outlaw Star requesting clearance to leave port now.
2957
2958Gilliam: We have just received clearance and all guide beacons are confirmed.
2959
2960Melfina: We will follow beacons for direct guide to depart Blue Heaven space.
2961
2962Jim: Uh... Fred Lou... I can't believe it.
2963
2964Gene: It's alright, it'll be okay. Don't worry about it, alright Jim?
2965
2966Jim: Uh... no way no way no way!
2967
2968Gene: Lets get going Outlaw Star its time to launch!
2969
2970// Elsewhere, Aisha is doing dishes.
2971
2972Aisha: Blast it, how can I be forced to do such menial labor? I'm one of the proud Ctarl Ctarl.
2973Terran you'll pay for this mark my words.
2974
2975Boss: Hey! Stop goofing around, get back to work you freeloader.
2976
2977Aisha: Yes sir. Grr... I'll remember this!

2989
2990
2991Narrator: To kill. That is this woman's profession. To kill. That is the only means by which
2992she can survive. Her name is Suzuka. There are none who know her past. There are none
2993who ask about her past. Through battle, she finds herself. She weeps as she watches
2994the wind, and senses the currents of the universe in her skin. This is the kind ofwoman
2995that Suzuka is. She is not a special woman. All women are special. All women possess
2996many faces. Yet, no man has ever seen the faces of Suzuka. All that men can see is the
2997gleaming sword she holds in her hands. Even if these men who see her gleaming blade
2998were to receive just a brief smile, they would never see it or know of it while they
2999were alive. This woman's name is Suzuka. To kill, that is her profession.
3000
3001// The Outlaw Star is landing on Sentinel.
3002
3003Guy: Don't be stupid, start your landing approach!
3004
3005Gene: I dont' have the fuel, I'm coming in.
3006
3007Guy: Deccelerate. You have to cut down your speed. Follow the guide beacons.
3008
3009Gene: Thats what I'm doing.
3010
3011Guy: There's no wind today. What kind of landing is he trying to pull?
3012
3013Gene: Hey, I haven't piloted a spaceship in 6 years. And my dad never taught me how to make
3014planet falls so this is the first time I've ever landed one.
3015
3016Jim: Oh great, any other surprises you got for us?
3017
3018Melfina: I'll handle the liscense with the landing beacons from here.
3019
3020Gilliam: Why don't you take care of the whole procedure from this moment on, Melfina?
3021
3022Melfina: I can't take care of the whole procedure.
3023
3024Gene: Hey, its my ship and I'll do it.
3025
3026Jim: I hate to say it but we're still coming in too fast.
3027
3028Gene: Ah! Come on!
3029
3030// The ship lands.
3031
3032Gene: Hey how about that.
3033
3034Gilliam: That is a proper...
3035
3036// The ship starts tipping.
3037
3038Gene: Errh...
3039
3040Jim: Gene!
3041
3042Gene: Shit!
3043
3044Melfina: 100 to surface. Deploy landing structure.
3045
3046Gene: I'm on it.
3047
3048Gilliam: Easy Gene, gentle now.
3049
3050Gene: Ah... sue me!
3051
3052// The ship continues to slip.
3053
3054Jim: Ah... I hate this!
3055
3056Gene: Damnit!
3057
3058Melfina: Please cut the engines. I'll get us under control.
3059
3060Gilliam: Landing structure 3 status is yellow Its gonna break at this rate.
3061
3062Gene: Lay off, this ship isn't that flimsy and you know it.
3063
3064// The ship stops... finally.
3065
3066Gene and Jim: Ah...
3067
3068Guy: Outlaw Star, welcome to Sentinel 3, West Virginia Space Port.
3069
3070Gene: Yeah! I pulled it off, no problem.
3071
3072Jim: What are you talking about, you almost got us killed.
3073
3074Gilliam: With this captain's piloting technique, I worry about my future prospects.
3075
3076Gene: Hmph.
3077
3078Guy: So, what'll it be? Will you be taking off once you resupply or do you plan to park here for
3079a while?
3080
3081Gene: Take us to the cheapest dock. We may be registered out of Blue Heaven, but our crew is from
3082here.
3083
3084-----------------------
3085
3086The Beautiful Assassin
3087
3088-----------------------
3089
3090Jim: So what do you wanna do Gene, go back to the shop?
3091
3092Gene: No, I want to go to Fred Lou's place over in Hugo right away, but before that I'd like to
3093know what happened to our car.
3094
3095Jim: Ah! It's been sitting in that silo.
3096
3097Gene: Yeah, I wonder if its been stolen.
3098
3099Jim: No way, it can't be!
3100
3101Gene: Ah... lets just rent a car for now so we can get over to Hugo. We can make it in 3 hours
3102if we hurry.
3103
3104// They head there in a car.
3105
3106Jim: Ah... I sure hope my AoFrazo is okay after all this time.
3107
3108Gene: Okay, once we've taken care of business we'll go look for it.
3109
3110Jim: Alright, but I don't know how to act around that guy.
3111
3112Gene: C'mon Jim, you think I know any better?
3113
3114// They arrive at Fred's.
3115
3116Fred: Oh Gene, its been so long.
3117
3118Gene: You're looking well, Fred.
3119
3120Fred: You never call me, you never write me, I never hear from you. I'm so very happy you came
3121to see me.
3122
3123Gene: Yeah, I'm happy too.
3124
3125Melfina: Is this Gene's friend Fred Lou?
3126
3127Jim: Yeah, that'd be him. Gene did some job for him a while ago.
3128
3129Fred: Oh, is that you, James? It looks like you're growing up quickly.
3130
3131Jim: Yeah, well I guess.
3132
3133Fred: Oh...
3134
3135Jim: Yeah, yeah okay its nice to see you too Fred.
3136
3137Fred: I can't wait to see you in another 2 or 3 years.
3138
3139Jim: Yeah well in 2 or 3 years I'll be some place far far away.
3140
3141Fred: Well then I'd just come after you to the edge of the universe if I had to. And who might
3142this young lady be?
3143
3144Melfina: How do you do, my name is Melfina.
3145
3146Fred: Yes, pleased to meet you.
3147
3148Gene: Fred, I have some business to discuss with you. Man, its a good thing you're here on
3149Sentinel and I found you.
3150
3151Fred: Yeah, my father secured our company's holding on Heiphong. Now that I'm in charge I want
3152to concentrate efforts on the fronteir. If I don't expand the Lou family's market beyond
3153what my dad has, I'll be a laughing stock.
3154
3155Gene: And whats going on with earth?
3156
3157Fred: Well, the Federation merchants are pretty powerful there.
3158
3159Fred: So, whats this business you mentioned huh?
3160
3161Gene: Its my spaceship, i'm gonna need to
3162
3163// Fred tries to kiss Gene
3164
3165Gene: Ah!
3166
3167Fred: It was just a joke, just a joke
3168
3169Gene: C'mon man, i thought i told you that i hate those jokes of yours fred
3170
3171Fred: Ok, ok no more jokes alright
3172
3173Gene: Yeah right
3174
3175Fred: I'll be serious from now on
3176
3177Gene: Its even worse when you're serious
3178
3179Fred: So whats this I hear about a spaceship?
3180
3181Gene: Thats right, I finally got my hands on one.
3182
3183Fred: Well, thats great. You know Gene, you really should have gone into space a long time ago.
3184
3185Gene: I know, but the ship doesn't have any equipment or weapons. I want you to sell me some.
3186
3187Fred: Gene, we may be friends but business is business. Do youhave any idea how much weapons and
3188equipment cost?
3189
3190Gene: Yeah, I know, I know, but I'm not to sure what the situation is on this one. I have a
3191grappler ship.
3192
3193Fred: Oh? You know, we have a rule in the Lou family to never ask the customer why. That means
3194we sell the customer what they want, no questions asked. But for the first time in my
3195life, I want to break the rules.
3196
3197Gene: I dont' know Fred, I don't know if you should break that rule.
3198
3199Fred: Oh dear, its even more expensive with a grappler ship. And we can't go through our legitimate
3200routes. But I think I will be able to help you with the equipment. Except when are you
3201gonna pay me?
3202
3203Gene: When I make it big!
3204
3205Fred: Gene, we have another rule in the Lou family. Trust can't be bought with money, but it can't
3206take its place either. Trusting you and knowing I'll be payed by you is 2 different things
3207all together.
3208
3209Gene: Now that rule you can break alright.
3210
3211Fred: C'mon Gene, you know you can't do business without some assurance you'll be paid.
3212
3213Gene: Look, I'll write out what I want so can you atleast give an estimate?
3214
3215Fred: I suppose, but after you've seen the price on the estimate you may have a change of heart.
3216Use the desk in the display area its time for my next appointment.
3217
3218Gene: Alright then.
3219
3220// They go to the other room.
3221
3222Guard: Hey you
3223
3224Gene: Hmm?
3225
3226Guard: Do you know why we don't turn you away and lock you out even though you're rude to the
3227young master?
3228
3229Gene: Uh, cause you'll get yourself hurt if you take me on?
3230
3231Guard: No, cause the young master happens to love you
3232
3233Gene: What was that?
3234
3235Jim: I don't even know.
3236
3237Gene: Damn, he's more tight-fisted than i thought he was.
3238
3239Jim: Thats how people operate Gene.
3240
3241// A cloaked woman passes them.
3242
3243Gene: Hmm...
3244
3245Jim: Hey, aren't you gonna put together that list for an estimate?
3246
3247Gene: Oh yeah, right.
3248
3249// In Fred's office.
3250
3251Fred: Welcome young lady. I see that you were referred by Mr. O. You need large quantities of
3252military rifles then.
3253
3254Suzuka: No, I don't want any rifles.
3255
3256Fred: Excuse me, what do you want then?
3257
3258Suzuka: And the referral from Mr. O is a lie as well.
3259
3260// She takes out the two guards next to her.
3261
3262Suzuka: What I want Mr. Lou, is your life.
3263
3264Fred: Huh?
3265
3266Suzuka: I will let you stay for just another 5 minutes, you may feel free to take the time to
3267write out a farewell letter to say your goodbyes. However, should you not accept your
3268death under these terms you will perish at once.
3269
3270Fred: Why is it that you're after me?
3271
3272Suzuka: If you continue to expand your market someone else's is bound to shrink. Some people find
3273that unacceptable.
3274
3275Fred: Is it Ralph, or is it Otto? Who could it be?
3276
3277Suzuka: You have 4 minutes. The sun will soon drift below the horizon.
3278
3279Fred: I can't believe it, you're Twilight Suzuka?
3280
3281Suzuka: Introductions are a bit late, don't you think you should put better use to what little
3282time you have left? After all, that is a fitting way to die.
3283
3284Fred: Uh...
3285
3286Suzuka: Is something the matter? You have only 3 minutes.
3287
3288// Gene walks in.
3289
3290Gene: Hey Fred...
3291
3292// She attacks him, Gene shoots at her but she has a light shield. Gene hides behind a broken
3293table to load his gun.
3294
3295
3296
3297Gene: A light shield, huh?
3298
3299Fred: Gene, I'm over here, save me, save me! Help me, Gene.
3300
3301Gene: Stay down.
3302
3303// He shoots at her, she attacks him but he has a shield too.
3304
3305Gene: I have a light shield too.
3306
3307Suzuka: I won't tolerate interference.
3308
3309Gene: Okay, what do you say we play fair?
3310
3311// Gene grabs a sword off the wall.
3312
3313Suzuka: Charming, do you actually think your using a sword would be challenging?
3314
3315// Gene swings it around.
3316
3317Suzuka: Huh?
3318
3319Gene: Whats that?
3320
3321Suzuka: Its too late, I failed to kill him! Heeyah!
3322
3323Gene: Gwaahh!
3324
3325// She breaks a hole in the ceiling and escapes.
3326
3327Fred: I'm okay Gene!
3328
3329Suzuka: Fred Lou, I'll wait for your life. Just until the next sunset.
3330
3331Gene: Man, she knows how to make a fast exit.
3332
3333Fred: Gene, you saved my life. You have to keep on protecting me until this is all over.
3334
3335Gene: What you want me to do something about her? I'll take the job, but only if you do
3336something about this.
3337
3338// He hands Fred something.
3339
3340Fred: Huh? If this is all you need, its a bargain.
3341
3342Gene: Huh? What?
3343
3344Fred: You don't understand. No one has ever been targetted by Twilight Suzuka and lived. She's an
3345A Class assassin.
3346
3347Gene: Oh yeah?
3348
3349Fred: What may I ask are you doing?
3350
3351Gene: I'm adding in some missiles that I was holding back on.
3352
3353Fred: Huh?
3354
3355// On a nearby rooftop...
3356
3357Suzuka: First I must deal with that bodyguard.
3358
3359-----------------
3360
3361Eyecatch
3362
3363-----------------
3364
3365Guard 1: It doesn't seem to be a sensor malfunction.
3366
3367Guard 2: But the sensor didn't pick up anything at all, I don't understand.
3368
3369Gene: It was a Bukuto. It's a sword made of wood. It would never be picked up by the sensors.
3370
3371Guard 2: A wooden sword?
3372
3373Guard 1: Are you saying she did this with a wooden sword?
3374
3375Gene: Thats exactly what I'm saying. Hey Fred, you got any caster shells around here?
3376
3377Fred: There's little demand for them. Plus they're antiques, so that just isn't our style around
3378here.
3379
3380Gene: So what are you gonna do?
3381
3382Fred: What am I gonna do?
3383
3384Gene: Yeah, are you gonna wait for her to show up again, or are you gonna get the hell out of
3385here?
3386
3387Jim: Well she did tell you you had til the next sunset.
3388
3389Gene: People like that always stick to their style. And you can bet they'll go after anyone who
3390interferes with it.
3391
3392Jim: And since you interfered I guess shes going after you.
3393
3394Gene: Oh shit.
3395
3396Fred: Wait a minute here, let me think things over. Theres got to be a way outta this. I've got
3397it! Why not track down her employer and kill him first?
3398
3399Gene: Assuming we can find him before the next sunset, which is 23 hours from now. Well guys,
3400lets get going.
3401
3402Fred: Huh? But where are we going?
3403
3404Gene: I'm tired, I wanna find a hotel and get some rest.
3405
3406Fred: But you can't, Gene! You've gotta stay with me, you can't leave.
3407
3408Gene: See ya.
3409
3410Fred: If you need a place to stay, you can use my room. Stay with me, wherever I am, in my bed,
3411in my bath...
3412
3413Gene: Thanks a lot fred but I'll pass, she'll stay true to her word, see ya.
3414
3415Fred: But... But... Gene!
3416
3417Gene: I'll give you a call once we get a hotel.
3418
3419// They leave.
3420
3421Jim: Hey, are you really gonna be his bodyguard?
3422
3423Gene: Like I have a choice. Look Jim, you know that the Outlaw Star needs a whole mess of
3424supplies. If he says I can't pay him back when I make it big...
3425
3426Suzuka: That is no longer a possibility. I am Twilight Suzuka. Shall we not waste anymore time
3427and begin our duel?
3428
3429Gene: I'm Gene Starwind. I'm sorry to dissappoint you, but dueling isn't an outlaw custom.
3430
3431Suzuka: Once the opponents have named themselves the fight has begun.
3432
3433// She attacks.
3434
3435Gene: What? You gotta be kidding me. Melfina, go back to Fred's place!
3436
3437Jim: What about me?
3438
3439Gene: Back me up!
3440
3441Jim: No way!
3442
3443// Gene runs.
3444
3445Gene: Great...
3446
3447// He runs through an alley.
3448
3449Gene: Damn, my gun's useless.
3450
3451// He rushes across traffic. Suzuka arrives and chops an incoming bus in half with her sword.
3452
3453Gene: That was great! Was that one of those tricks only masters can do?
3454
3455Suzuka: That was merely a feat of strength. Secret techniques aren't necessary against those who
3456run.
3457
3458Gene: Heh heh, you hurt my feelings.
3459
3460Suzuka: Why don't you stop running and learn to face me?
3461
3462// Jim pulls up in his car.
3463
3464Jim: Gene, get in!
3465
3466Gene: See ya later!
3467
3468Suzuka: You can't get away!
3469
3470Jim: Gene, she's following us!
3471
3472Gene: Damn, that lady's persistant, looks like I'll have to take her on. Jim, while you're on the
3473road, I'll need you to do something for me.
3474
3475// The arrive at a dueling point.
3476
3477Jim: Eh...
3478
3479Suzuka: Have you finally decided to face me in a duel?
3480
3481Gene: You know, I got to do something about you, otherwise I'm not gonna get what I want from
3482Fred.
3483
3484Suzuka: Worldy desires are foolish. They have cost you your life.
3485
3486Gene: Perhaps, and there is some desires that are big enough to risk your life for. This is one
3487of them. I have to put my life on the line for this.
3488
3489Suzuka: What are you up to now?
3490
3491
3492
3493Gene: Get down here! Whats the matter, are you scared?
3494
3495Suzuka: You fool! Heeyah!
3496
3497// She attacks him, but he blocks the attack with his hands.
3498
3499Suzuka: A shield?!
3500
3501Gene: If you focus them on a single point, then you can do this! You need to know the trick to it.
3502
3503Suzuka: That won't work.
3504
3505// His light shield runs out of power.
3506
3507Gene: Damn it!
3508
3509// He knocks her sword out of her hand. They run after it.
3510
3511Gene: Come back here!
3512
3513// Gene grabs at her sash and tears it off. Suzuka falls.
3514
3515Suzuka: Ah!
3516
3517// Gene reaches the sword.
3518
3519Gene: I got it!
3520
3521Suzuka: Give that to me.
3522
3523Gene: Which one?
3524
3525Suzuka: Both of them!
3526
3527Gene: Hmm...
3528
3529// Gene smells her sash.
3530
3531Suzuka: Stop that, what do you think you're doing?
3532
3533Gene: This smells real nice. thats a beautiful woman for you.
3534
3535Suzuka: Will you stop fooling around?
3536
3537Gene: If you want your sword and sash back, I suggest you let Fred Lou be.
3538
3539Suzuka: I plan on carrying out my contract.
3540
3541Gene: Then I won't give them back, the sash will go in my collection and I'll just break the
3542sword.
3543
3544Suzuka: You can't! I won't let you do that.
3545
3546Gene: Like you can do anything about it.
3547
3548Suzuka: Damn you.
3549
3550Gene: Yeah, I don't wanna hear it anymore. We're making a deal right now, a deal on my terms, a
3551draw and nothing more.
3552
3553Suzuka: Anything but a draw! If I had used a secret technique first this wouldn't have happened.
3554
3555Gene: Can't handle it? Then fine, you lost. You underestimated me.
3556
3557Suzuka: I lost? I can't.
3558
3559Gene: If it were just a fight between you and me, there wouldn't be a problem, but I don't stand
3560a chance fighting over Fred's skin. I can't stay with Fred and protect him for the rest of
3561my life. I'm going back into space.
3562
3563Suzuka: You mean to tell me you're not his bodyguard after all of this?
3564
3565Gene: No, I told you right from the start, I'm an outlaw.
3566
3567Suzuka: Outlaw?
3568
3569Gene: Thats right.
3570
3571Suzuka: I will carry out my contract, I'll keep trying as long as I live. I still have my pride.
3572
3573Gene: Then you will die! Twilight Suzuka just died. Forget about your contract.
3574
3575Suzuka: Flawed reasoning like that will not convince me to give up.
3576
3577Gene: Well, works for me. Here, you can have these back as payment for Fred's life.
3578
3579Suzuka: Wait, you must understand, I cannot consent to a deal like that.
3580
3581Gene: Why? Because you're bound by a contract?
3582
3583Suzuka: No, by my pride.
3584
3585Gene: Well then, I guess I'm the one who damaged your pride so how bout we try and make another
3586deal. If you're gonna kill Fred then you'll have to fight me first.
3587
3588Suzuka: Yes, that goes without saying.
3589
3590Gene: Great, we have a deal then. On your pride now, don't forget what you said.
3591
3592Suzuka: What? But I um...
3593
3594Gene: I'll be careful during sunsets, okay?
3595
3596Suzuka: But... alright.
3597
3598Gene: Okay, that settles it then.
3599
3600Jim: Gene, are you sure thats a good idea saying that?
3601
3602Gene: Theres not much else I can say Jim, protecting myself is gonna be a lot easier than
3603protecting Fred.
3604
3605Jim: Okay, fine, whatever you say.
3606
3607Suzuka: That man... why...
3608
3609// Later, at Fred's...
3610
3611Fred: So I should deliver them to dock 26 at Locus's space port then.
3612
3613Gene: Yeah, thats it.
3614
3615Fred: I knew I could count on you Gene, you truly saved my life. Twilight Suzuka won't be coming
3616after me anymore, right?
3617
3618Gene: Yeah, but I'm not so sure about the guy who hired her.
3619
3620Fred: Well, I can handle that, give enough time, I'll be able to find him.
3621
3622Gene: Well, I hope to get more help from you in the future. Lets just say you owe me for getting
3623Suzuka to want to get me.
3624
3625Fred: What I owe you comes to 750000 wong.
3626
3627Gene: What are you talking about?
3628
3629Fred: Thats whats left when you subtract the cost of the items you ordered from how much it would
3630have cost to hire Suzuka.
3631
3632Gene: Damn it Fred. Hey you guys, I thought you said he loved me.
3633
3634Guard 1: The young master gave you a 30 percent discount.
3635
3636Fred: Thats right Gene, a discount.
3637
3638Gene: Huh?
3639
3640Fred: Ah... i look forward to a long relationship. it costs a lot to maintain a spaceship. Even
3641more for a Grappler ship you know.
3642
3643Gene: yeah Fred I know. Those damn merchants.
3644
3645// In the car...
3646
3647Gene: Thats it, the negotiations are over.
3648
3649Jim: Oh, I see.
3650
3651Melfina: Gene, do you think you pursuaded that warrior woman to give up?
3652
3653Jim: I wouldn't call it pursuaded exactly.
3654
3655Gene: Hey, I couldn't just kill her, so sue me!
3656
3657Jim: Yeah, yeah.
3658
3659Melfina: Oh.
3660
3661// Elsewhere...
3662
3663Suzuka: Gene Starwind, this isn't over.

3676
3677Narrator: The Toard Star World where Gene presides is a measureless one. Far away from the central
3678area, 4 known pirate groups vie for supremacy. One of the 4 is after the Outlaw Star and Melfina,
3679to destroy them. This particular group are pirates of the Hopo system. They are called the 108
3680Suns, the most brutal member of the Chinese Guild. Centered around Tendo, the 108 suns are made
3681up of small groups of 10 or 20. The leaders of these groups control independent organizations,
3682and they also pursue their own interests. Presently, the boss of the pirates who are now pursuing
3683Gene is called Hazanko. He has power with the 108 suns. But because of the extent of that power,
3684the power of his organization and the power of the methods he employs to achieve his goals, it
3685is said that the other leaders consider him superior. It is also said that the squads that carry
3686out his orders use a super power called Sinjitsu and alsways slay those that stand against them.
3687
3688Gene: Are you ready Gilliam
3689
3690Gilliam: Ready.
3691
3692Gene: Lets do it. Activating all sensor systems. CFS activated. Radar activated.
3693
3694Gilliam: All sensors are functioning.
3695
3696Gene: Ether drive systems activated. Gravity control systems activated. Sub ether drive systems
3697set.
3698
3699Gilliam: Navigation system active. All systems green.
3700
3701Gene; Gravity cycle unit system activated. Go!
3702
3703Gilliam: The fusioin reactor comes first.
3704
3705Gene: Uh oh.
3706
3707Gilliam: Fusion reactor now activating. Sub-Reactor 1 operational and number 2. Number 3 abnormal.
3708
3709Gene: What?
3710
3711Gilliam: Output falling. 70... 50... 30...
3712
3713Gene: What do I do Gilliam?
3714
3715Gilliam: Run a parabalance with the remaining reactors.
3716
3717Gene: Oh yeah.
3718
3719Gilliam: Reactors 2 and 4 output: 120... 130... 140... 160... 180... They are about to explode
3720right now.
3721
3722Gene: Uh? What?
3723
3724Gilliam: T minus 10 to critical. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...
3725
3726// Gene shuts off the ship.
3727
3728Gilliam: Another failed liftoff I see.
3729
3730Gene: You're the one who made me screw up! Every stinkin time you make trouble.
3731
3732Gilliam: Preparing for unexpected situations are what simulations are for. If you are unable to
3733manually respond to a small problem like this, a lift off is probably out of the question
3734for the time being.
3735
3736Gene: Bite me!
3737
3738// He leaves.
3739
3740Gilliam: Well, the ship hasn't been completely outfitted yet. So I suppose there's no rush.
3741
3742Gene: Oh well. Looks like I better get back to work.

3748-----------------------
3749
3750Melfina: Hm? Ah. Welcome back.
3751
3752Gene: So, anything new?
3753
3754// He throws an apple at her.
3755
3756Melfina: No, not really Ah! Oh.
3757
3758Gene: What about Jim?
3759
3760Melfina: At the Police Station.
3761
3762Gene: Police Station?
3763
3764Melfina: Yes. Apparantly they impounded Jim's car.
3765
3766Gene: The Ao Frao?
3767
3768Melfina: Yes, thats what he said.
3769
3770Gene: Hmm... Well that sort of thing doesn't happen in Locus very often.
3771
3772Melfina: Hm.
3773
3774Gene: I sure don't like this. Something's fishy. Hm?
3775
3776// Jim's out in his car.
3777
3778Jim: Hey Gene! I found her! I found her! Hey Gene! Ah, she's safe and sound. I'll never leave
3779ya baby.
3780
3781Gene: I definately don't like this.
3782
3783// A few pirates are listening in on their conversations.
3784
3785Jim: They said she racked up too many parking tickets. I tried hard to come up with an excuse.
3786
3787Gene: You should have just told them that we were attacked by pirates.
3788
3789Jim: No way. They never would have believed me. You don't even know how much the fine and towing
3790costs added up tube. Its crazy I'm telling you.
3791
3792// Later, they head to Clyde's bar.
3793
3794Clyde: What'll it be... Gene! I can't believe you two are still alive.
3795
3796Gene; Yeay, its good to see you too Clyde.
3797
3798Clyde: I hear that some pirates were after you, so I just assumed that...
3799
3800Iris: Gene... Thank goodness.
3801
3802Gene: Iris, oh its okay.
3803
3804Iris: I've been so worried about you.
3805
3806Gene; Oh Iris, you sweet thing.
3807
3808Jim: I'll tell you who's the sweet talker, you.
3809
3810Iris: Its been 2 weeks, what have you been up tol.
3811
3812Gene: Its a long, boring story, you don't want to know.
3813
3814Iris: You're bad. Hm? Oh, and who are you?
3815
3816Gene: That's Melfina. She's a new friend.
3817
3818Clyde: Iris!
3819
3820Iris: errh... Yeah! Hmph.
3821
3822Gene: Clyde, has anyone been asking questions about us, I mean questions they shoudn't be asking?
3823
3824Clyde: Well, after that fight its been pretty busy in here. But nobody's asked any important
3825questions.
3826
3827Gene: Hm.... I sure don't like this.
3828
3829Jim: Whats your problem?
3830
3831Gene: It's nothing.
3832
3833// Later, they sit down at a table.
3834
3835Gene: Its seems like such a long time. But it hasn't even been 2 whole weeks since we left here.
3836
3837Jim: So, now what're we gonna do?
3838
3839Gene: Well, the rest of the container we ordered from Fred should be coming in tomorrow. We have
3840to get the Outlaw Star into perfect working order.
3841
3842Jim: Well yeah, that'd be nice but...
3843
3844Gene: But what?
3845
3846Jim: To be blunt idiot, we are broke!
3847
3848Gene: What do you mean? The account?
3849
3850Jim: Well yeah, there's not much left. The space port rental took up a lot of dough.
3851
3852Gene: No way! Hm...
3853
3854Jim: One. We earn money the hard way.
3855
3856Gene: But then I wouldn't have time to work on the Outlaw Star.
3857
3858Jim: Two. We earn it the easy way.
3859
3860Gene: Hey Clyde, have any big bounties turned up lately?
3861
3862Clyde: No way, not since that time you took down Death Rob.
3863
3864Gene: Erh.
3865
3866Jim: Three. The sleazy way.
3867
3868Gene: How?
3869
3870Jim: Maybe sell your body?
3871
3872Gene: Yours would sell better.
3873
3874Jim: I guess three's a bust then.
3875
3876Gene: Hmm... Four. We pay later.
3877
3878Jim: Pay who?
3879
3880Gene: I don't know.
3881
3882Clyde: I don't take credit here you know.
3883
3884Gene and Jim: Ah. Oh man.
3885
3886Jim: Well its gotta be number one then.
3887
3888Gene: Yeah, what about the Outlaw Star?
3889
3890Jim: I'll leave that to you. I'll earn us enough to live on for the time being.
3891
3892Gene: I don't know.
3893
3894Melfina: Um. If theres anything I can do to help, please tell me.
3895
3896Gene: Are you good at cooking eggs?
3897
3898Melfina: Oh. I'm not really sure. I've never cooked them before so I don't know.
3899
3900Gene: Well, then you can learn now. You're on kitchen duty, Melfina.
3901
3902Melfina: Um. kay.
3903
3904// They walk home...
3905
3906Gene: Man, theres nothing as relaxing as this town.
3907
3908Jim: Yeah, yeah. Hm.
3909
3910Gene: But, you know we're gonna have to leave here pretty soon.
3911
3912Jim: Yeah, I know.
3913
3914Gene: But how far? Where are we going and just how far away?
3915
3916Jim: Its nice to look up at the sky and all, but lets look where we're stepping. Hey, you know
3917it will be tough.
3918
3919Gene: Yeah, I know that alright.
3920
3921// That night, Gene gets up. He finds Melfina downstairs on the couch.
3922
3923Gene: Whats wrong, you can't sleep?
3924
3925Melfina: No.
3926
3927Gene: Hey, I bet you wish Bio-Androids didn't have to be so human. Is that what you were thinking
3928about, huh?
3929
3930Melfina: Yeah, thats right.
3931
3932Gene: Jeez, I don't understand anything around here.
3933
3934// Melfina leans on his shoulder.
3935
3936Melfina: Let me stay like this until I fall asleep. When I'm like this, I feel like I can dream.
3937I feel like I am dreaming.
3938
3939
3940
3941Jim: Hey, what do you think you're doing scumbag?
3942
3943Gene: Oh I uh... I just thought I'd see how human Melfina really is.
3944
3945Jim: Just how human is she? Mel's more human than you.
3946
3947Gene: Hey Jim!
3948
3949// Jim snuggles up with Melfina.
3950
3951Jim: She's like my mom.
3952
3953Gene: Oh. Hmm...
3954
3955// The next day, Gene works on the Outlaw Star.
3956
3957Gilliam: The engine covers are not regulation parts. So please replace them all.
3958
3959Gene: Yeah, well how bout helping out huh?
3960
3961Gilliam: If we were in zero gravity I would be able to perform heavy labor. But as you can see,
3962I am powerless in this gravity.
3963
3964Gene: Then work on the interior!
3965
3966Gilliam: I am of course.
3967
3968Gilliam: Please perform a check later.
3969
3970Gene: Alright, alright.
3971
3972// The manager calls for him over the loudspeaker.
3973
3974Manager: Mr. Starwind.
3975
3976Gene: Yeah, what?
3977
3978Manager: We need to talk. Could you come to the business office?
3979
3980Gene: Uh... I knew this was coming. Give me a minute okay?
3981
3982// Meanwhile, Melfina cooks.
3983
3984Melfina: Once it comes to a boil reduce heat, simmer till cooked brew. Hm.
3985
3986// Jim meanwhile repairs a tractor.
3987
3988Jim: This thing's a goner. I'm gonna have to put in a new engine or buy all new parts for just
3989about everything.
3990
3991Farmer: If I had that kinda money I'd take it to a dealer.
3992
3993Jim: Yes my friend. This is exactly where Starwind and Hawking Enterprises can really do a thing.
3994Actually, we have an engine we happened to come across. Of course we charge far less than a
3995dealer.
3996
3997Farmer: Great, I knew it. I knew I could count on you.
3998
3999Jim: You bet pal.
4000
4001// In the Business Office...
4002
4003Manager: I thought that I told you to pay all the dock fees in advance. And if you're gonna be
4004here for a while, I must insist that you pay for that too.
4005
4006Gene: We've payed you for the next 3 days, right?
4007
4008Manager: Well, you haven't applied for launch clearance I see.
4009
4010Gene: We will pay you for any overage, okay?
4011
4012Manager: Just how much longer will you be here?
4013
4014Gene: I'm not sure.
4015
4016// Meanwhile, one of the pirates, an odd looking bald one, attempts to break into the Outlaw Star.
4017
4018Gilliam: Warning. Thats not the captain. Gene!
4019
4020Gene: Gilliam, whats going on?
4021
4022Gilliam: Its an intruder.
4023
4024Gene: Uh.
4025
4026// Meanwhile, at home...
4027
4028Melfina: Hey, welcome back. Huh?
4029
4030// Another pirate, this one extremely tall, stands at the door.
4031
4032--------------
4033
4034Eyecatch
4035
4036--------------
4037
4038Gene: Gilliam, where's the intruder?
4039
4040Gilliam: He's escaping by elevator 2.
4041
4042// The elevator arrives at the bottom. Gene shoots, but it ends up just being a crate of food.
4043
4044Gilliam: Gene, above you!
4045
4046// Gene dodges the attack.
4047
4048Gene: Uh! Come here, yah jerk.
4049
4050// Meanwhile, Melfian is running from the pirate.
4051
4052Melfina: Oh! Uh... Oh...
4053
4054// The pirate swings his mase like weapon at her, but suddenly Suzuka arrives and blocks the
4055attack.
4056
4057
4058
4059Suzuka: I come to visit Gene Starwind and what do I find? Some of the most interesting people are
4060trying to kill him as well. Tell me, are you a Kai pirate?
4061
4062Kyokan: Don't interfere.
4063
4064Suzuka: Exactly what I was thinking. Gene Starwind is my pray.
4065
4066Melfina: Huh?
4067
4068Suzuka: Stay back now.
4069
4070Melfina: Alright.
4071
4072Kyokan: I'll say it again. Don't interfere with me.
4073
4074Suzuka: Well in that case, this is going to be a fine oppurtunity to put Gene in my debt.
4075
4076// Gene fires at the pirate, who runs into a nearby field.
4077
4078Gene: I finally got to blow off some steam. You left some lookouts here now, didn't ya? Eh?
4079Am I right, Mr. Pirate?
4080
4081Yase: Heh heh heh. So where is Hilda now?
4082
4083Gene: Hm. You don't seem to understand what you got yourself into now, do ya buddy?
4084
4085Yase: Hm. Is that so.
4086
4087// A bunch of pirates rise up from the ground and surround Gene.
4088
4089Yase: Answer me. Where is Hilda now?
4090
4091Gene: I ain't talking.
4092
4093// Gene fights the pirate, taking out most of them with ease.
4094
4095// Meanwhile, Suzuka battles the other pirate.
4096
4097Suzuka: Hah!
4098
4099// She attacks, which he blocks with some sort of light shield.
4100
4101Kyokan: Heyah!
4102
4103Suzuka: Hm. So you are a Sinjitsu master.
4104
4105Kyokan: You have interesting techniques yourself.
4106
4107Suzuka: Well, I'm just getting warmed up. No one has seen more than 3 of my secret techniques. You still have time, it isn't sunset yet. How many sunsets will you see before dying?
4108
4109Kyokan: You're the one thats going to die.
4110
4111// Gene continues to battle in the field.
4112
4113Gene: Uh! Alright!
4114
4115// Suzuka and the pirate continue to battle...
4116
4117Kyokan: Eh, yah!
4118
4119Suzuka: Uh!
4120
4121Kyokan: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun far. Lets do
4122it. Yaaah!
4123
4124// They charge at each other. Suzuka swipes her sword at him.
4125
4126Pirate: What did you call that?
4127
4128Suzuka: Standard Heeven number one.
4129
4130Kyokan: Hm. I see. Uh...
4131
4132// He dies.
4133
4134Suzuka: Its alright, its over now.
4135
4136Melfina: Oh... kay.
4137
4138Suzuka: Do you think it would be alright if I waited for Gene at his shop?
4139
4140Melfina: Uh... sure.
4141
4142// Meanwhile, Gene hides behind a tree.
4143
4144Yase: Looks like he's finally dead once and for all. Hm. I had questions to ask him but its too late.
4145
4146// Gene shoots at one of the pirates.
4147
4148Yase: What? Ah!
4149
4150// Gene takes out most of the pirates. However, the head pirate charges him.
4151
4152Gene: Damnit!
4153
4154Yase: Yah!
4155
4156Gene: Ah!
4157
4158// He knocks Gene to the ground.
4159
4160Yase: I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Will you be a good boy and answer?
4161
4162Gene: My lucky number's one, my favorite color's red, and oh...
4163
4164
4165
4166Yase: Where is Hilda now, huh? Why did you and your friends come back to Sentinel by
4167themselves? What happened to my people? Answer me!
4168
4169Gene: What'll I get?
4170
4171Yase: I'll go ahead and grant you a quick death.
4172
4173Gene: You'll have to make me a better offer than that.
4174
4175Yase: Maybe I will, depending on your answer.
4176
4177Farmer: What could have exploded out here in the field?
4178
4179Farmer2: I don't know, thats why they told us to check it out.
4180
4181// Gene shoots at the pirate.
4182
4183Farmer: That was a gun shot over there!
4184
4185// Gene takes the oppurtunity to escape and shoot at the pirate.
4186
4187Yase: We'll take back the XGP! Count on it!
4188
4189Farmer: Call for backup!
4190
4191Farmer2: Right!
4192
4193// Meanwhile, Jim drives home.
4194
4195Jim: (whistles)
4196
4197Police1: Any witnesses?
4198
4199Police2: Nah, no one. Apparantly, they're scared of getting involved.
4200
4201Police1: When it comes to pirates, I guess I'd do the same thing.
4202
4203// Jim goes inside.
4204
4205Jim: Uh... Uh.. Mel, what the hell happened? Ah!
4206
4207Melfina: Welcome back, Jim.
4208
4209Jim: What the hell are you doing here? You want Gene, don't cha?
4210
4211Suzuka: Yes, where is he?
4212
4213Jim: Oh yeah, like I would tell ya.
4214
4215Suzuka: Its in your best interest to find him as soon as possible. Because it seems the Kai
4216pirates are coming after you.
4217
4218Jim: Uh... the pirates?
4219
4220Melfina: Its alright, don't worry. Suzuka saved me.
4221
4222Jim: She did? But why?
4223
4224Suzuka: Because you people are rather interesting to me.
4225
4226// They head to the Outlaw Star.
4227
4228Jim: Gilliam, open up.
4229
4230Gilliam: Its bad Jim. There's been trouble. We've been attacked by pirates.
4231
4232Jim: Here too? Where's Gene?
4233
4234Gilliam: He's inside working right now.
4235
4236Jim: Alright then, just let us in.
4237
4238Gilliam: Of course. Uh..
4239
4240Jim: Now what?
4241
4242Gilliam: What should we do about that young lady you brought? She isn't registered as a crew
4243member you know.
4244
4245Jim: Just let her in for the time being.
4246
4247// They head to the bridge, where Gene is working on the ship.
4248
4249Jim: Hey Gene!
4250
4251Gene: Yeah, yeah, thats right the pirates were here.
4252
4253Jim: What're we gonna do?
4254
4255Gene: Well, we're gonna load up all the equipment we can, and launch as soon as possible.
4256
4257Suzuka: Excuse me, would you explain whats going on here? If you're really gonna fight the Kai
4258Pirates, I wouldn't mind helping out at all.
4259
4260Jim: Hm?
4261
4262Gene: At this point all we can do is fight them. I don't know. I just don't know the real reason
4263why. I really have no idea.
4264
4265Jim: Hey Gene...
4266
4267Gene: Uh...
4268
4269Jim: Gene, whats the matter, what's wrong?
4270
4271// Jim touches Gene, then looks at his hand in shock. There's blood there.
4272
4273Jim: What? What the hell is this?
4274
4275Gene: Yeah, I tried to patch it up, I guess I didn't do a good job.
4276
4277Jim: Gene!

4302
4303
4304
4305Jim: Gene...
4306
4307Suzuka: The needles went right through. And he's infected, it seems the injections he was given
4308were full of poison.
4309
4310Jim: Poison?
4311
4312Suzuka: Yes, we must find the antidote right away.
4313
4314Jim: What are we gonna do right now?
4315
4316Suzuka: The enemy might be using this situation to force us to negotiate.
4317
4318
4319
4320Gilliam: Please pardon the interruption, a transmition is coming from outside.
4321
4322Jim: Put it through.
4323
4324Head Pirate: Hello there, I'm checking in on how Captain Starwind is doing. If his blood isn't
4325cleansed, he's not going to last until nightfall.

4332
4333Head Pirate: If and only if you leave the ship will I then give you the antidote.
4334
4335Jim: Well do you have one?
4336
4337Gene: Forget it Jim.
4338
4339Jim: Easy, Gene.
4340
4341Gene: Do you really think they're gonna let us walk away from this?
4342
4343Head Pirate: Heh heh heh. Well, he seems in high spirits. What will you do now?
4344
4345Jim: Stop Gilliam, stop transmission.
4346
4347// In the Pirate's hiding place...
4348
4349Head Pirate: Heh heh heh. How amusing. Ah. Its me, things are going to get a little noisy soon.
4350Just look the other way and you'll be greatly rewarded. Lets go.
4351
4352// Back on the Outlaw Star...
4353
4354Jim: C'mon Gene, help us!
4355
4356Suzuka: I agree with Gene as far as the pirates are concerned. But if something isn't done soon...
4357I, uh I'm not sure they actually have an antidote for Gene. Our only option is to find
4358out and steal it.
4359
4360Jim: Okay, then I'm coming with you.
4361
4362Melfina: Wait a second. I think, I think that I might be able to do it.
4363
4364Jim: Might be able to do what?
4365
4366// Melfina holds Gene at the point where she enters the ship's computer.
4367
4368Jim: We're counting on you Melfina.
4369
4370Melfina: Right.
4371
4372Gilliam: Warning, the enemy is closing in.
4373
4374Jim: Hm?
4375
4376Head Pirate: (laughs)
4377
4378Jim: Gilliam, bring up all systems, lets go.
4379
4380Gilliam: Without Melfina's help, we have a limited number of systems to access.
4381
4382Jim: Got it. Put this creep on the monitor so I can see him. Give me a close up.
4383
4384Head Pirate: Hello, we're here to sell you the antidote my little friend.
4385
4386Jim: Well, we're not handing the ship over to you, so just back away buddy.
4387
4388Head Pirate: Well, well, my dear friend, are we gonna give up on Captain Gene's life then? I'll
4389bet this moment he's in a lot of pain.
4390
4391// Jim shoots at them.
4392
4393Head Pirate: Ah!
4394
4395Jim: I'm so sorry, Gene.
4396
4397// Meanwhile, Gene flashes back again.
4398
4399Gene: Hey dad, I learned all the controls already.
4400
4401// Pirates attack the ship. Gene is thrown in the escape pod.
4402
4403Gene: Dad, wait!
4404
4405Gene's Father: Sorry Gene, but I want you to live.
4406
4407Gene: No dad!
4408
4409Gene's Father: Good luck, my son.
4410
4411Gene: Dad! Noooooo!
4412
4413// Back to the present.
4414
4415Gene: I'm, I'm... alone.
4416
4417// Melfina appears in front of him.
4418
4419Melfina: Gene... Gene... Gene, you're not alone, I'm here now. I'm here to heal you. Open your
4420heart.
4421
4422// They extend their hands to each other, which glow. Gene finds himself in another place, now
4423with Melfina behind him.
4424
4425Gene: Ah!
4426
4427Melfina: Gene... Gene... Gene... Gene... Gene... It's alright. I understand. Everything's fine
4428now. It looks like I can be of help to you. No more worries, I can save you Gene.
4429
4430Gene: Hmm.
4431
4432// Meanwhile...
4433
4434Gilliam: Attention, strange weapons are approaching.
4435
4436Jim: What are those?
4437
4438// 3 mechs start heading towards the Outlaw Star.
4439
4440Head Pirate: Just hold them here for now. Well I guess I won't mind if you damage it just a little.
4441
4442Suzuka: They're the pirate's mechanical soldiers.
4443
4444Jim: Darnit.
4445
4446// He shoots at them again, but they have a shield this time.
4447
4448Jim: They're way too close for missiles and beams won't work.
4449
4450Gilliam: Jim, I have a call form Mr. Lou in Hugo.
4451
4452Jim: Now? Put him through.
4453
4454Fred: Hi there Jim. Aren't you looking as good as ever.
4455
4456Jim: What do you want Fred, I'm sorta busy now.
4457
4458Fred: Where's Gene?
4459
4460Jim: He's unavailable, Fred.
4461
4462Fred: Alright now, this is very imporant. Listen closely to what I have to say, several Kai
4463pirate ships are heading this way to Sentinel 3 and I believe they're going to reach West
4464Virginia Space Port soon.
4465
4466Jim: What? but we're in Ban Territory, Fred.
4467
4468Fred: Thats my point, the fact that word spread all the way out here to the frontier shows that
4469these pirates mean to start a big commotion.
4470
4471Jim: Why would they want to do that?
4472
4473Fred: Well, uh... well acting as an intermediary is my job. Saying no to them is bad for business,
4474and I don't want to ruin our relationships so I called you.
4475
4476Jim: Enough! Alright, alright, thanks for nothing! Ah!
4477
4478// The mechs attach to the Outlaw Star and start climbing it.
4479
4480Gilliam: Enemy attached to ship exterior.
4481
4482Jim: Oh... What should I do? Huh?
4483
4484// Gene and Melfina return.
4485
4486Gene: Hm. Sorry for the wait.
4487
4488Jim: Alright.
4489
4490Gene: Jim, give me the pilot's seat.
4491
4492Melfina: You shouldn't, your wounds haven't healed up.
4493
4494Gene: You removed all the poison. The rest is up to endurance. Melfina, thank you. You're the
4495one that saved my life.
4496
4497
4498
4499Melfina: Yeah, I... Oh!
4500
4501Gilliam: The enemy's weapons are attempting to force open the hatch.
4502
4503// One of them attempts to do this.
4504
4505Head Pirate: And now I'm going to take back the XGP.
4506
4507// Gene gets in the pilot's seat, Melfina in her usual spot.
4508
4509Gilliam: Attention everyone, this ship is presently in danger due to enemy attack.
4510
4511Gene: I know, I know, I know. As soon as Melfina is ready, we're blasting out of here.
4512
4513Melfina: All systems green.
4514
4515Gene: I'm ready to go.
4516
4517// The Grappler arms are released and Gene takes out 2 of the pirates with them.
4518
4519Gene: Loser!
4520
4521Head Pirate: Well, those are interesting grappler arms. They can't even reach the target, how
4522completely useless!
4523
4524// Suzuka is standing on the crane nearby him however...
4525
4526Suzuka: You coward. I hope you can hear me Gene, cause this one is all mine.
4527
4528Head Pirate: Interesting, what does she think she can to me?
4529
4530// Suzuka jumps on the mech and chops it in half.
4531
4532Head Pirate: What? Ow...
4533
4534// The mech crashes and falls off the tower. He hangs on the edge, but climbs back up, where
4535Suzuka is waiting.
4536
4537Head Pirate: Ah...
4538
4539Suzuka: It's over.
4540
4541Pirate: Oh spare me please, I'll do anything.
4542
4543// He shoots, but she blocks.
4544
4545Suzuka: You're a coward, aren't you.
4546
4547// Suzuka kills the pirate.
4548
4549Gene: Hey, not bad Suzuka.
4550
4551Suzuka: When its a Kai Pirate it's really nothing.
4552
4553Gene: Well, its good to know. Anyhow, its just about time to blast off. I guess I should ask the
4554Ctarl Ctarl for help at this point. You better climb aboard Suzuka.
4555
4556Manager: This is the control tower. Dock 26, Outlaw Star, whats going on over there?
4557
4558Gene: Nothing too serious. We're getting ready to blast off so we'd like to receive the correct
4559weather and flight conditions.
4560
4561Manager: Thats a negative, I will not give you launch clearance. We've verified that there's been
4562a disturbance on the launch pad. The Outlaw Star will be checked out by port authorities.
4563Hold your present position.
4564
4565Gene: No way. Release all systems from standbye mode, begin transfer to navigation mode now.
4566
4567Gilliam: What are you planning to do?
4568
4569Gene: Blast outta here without any kind of guidance from the control tower.
4570
4571-----------
4572
4573Eyecatch
4574
4575-----------
4576
4577Jim: The container's ready and loaded.
4578
4579// Gene turns the ship on.
4580
4581Melfina: CFS activated. Newton reactor coming online. Systems show normal. All the views show
4582normal.
4583
4584Gilliam: My crew is a bunch of lunatics. This is rather reckless Gene.
4585
4586Jim: I've got the weather reports and I'm sending them over to your screen right now.
4587
4588Melfina: Ether Drive System operational. Sub Ether Drive System operational.
4589
4590Gene: Engine system operation now verified.
4591
4592Gilliam: We're receiving a broadcast from the control tower.
4593
4594Manager: Gene Starwind, come out of that ship immediately! The police will place you under arrest.
4595Do you realize the kind of trouble you're getting yourself into?
4596
4597Jim: What're we gonna do now, Gene, hm?
4598
4599Gene: Well Jim, I guess we're never coming back to Sentinel again. Lets blow 'em off and get out
4600of here. Is that alright with you Suzuka?
4601
4602Suzuka: I'll be joining you.
4603
4604// The engine starts.
4605
4606Gene: If you don't move, you're gonna get burned. Lets go Jim.
4607
4608Jim: You got it.
4609
4610Gene: Ready, Melfina?
4611
4612Melfina: Ready. Gravity cycle operational. System shows green.
4613
4614Manager: Gene Starwind! Don't do it!
4615
4616Gene: Shut up!
4617
4618Gilliam: I see you're really going through with this. The ship is air tight and ready for take
4619off.
4620
4621Jim: Everything's all set here and we're ready to go.
4622
4623Gilliam: Life support systems are reading normal.
4624
4625Melfina: All control services showing green.
4626
4627Gene: All systems green.
4628
4629Melfina: Engine output stable. Commencing countdown. T minus 30 to launch.
4630
4631// The countdown begins.
4632
4633Melfina: T minus 20.
4634
4635Gene: So here it is. My journey is finally beginning. Goodbye Hilda.
4636
4637Melfina: T minus 10... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0
4638
4639Gene: Let's go!
4640
4641// The ship takes off, destroying much of the tower.
4642
4643Gene: Ship roll is now complete.
4644
4645Kid: Aw dad, you know what? When I grow up, I wanna be a spaceship pilot.
4646
4647Father: Really? Well if you work hard maybe you will be.
4648
4649Kid: Wow I can't wait... yeah, I'm gonna do it!
4650
4651// On the Outlaw Star...
4652
4653Melfina: We've exited the atmosphere. Please put us in orbit.
4654
4655Gilliam: We have successfully completed planetary launch.
4656
4657Jim: Yeah, we did it!
4658
4659Gene: Oh... Well of course we did it! I'm awesome at absolutely everything I set out to do with
4660my life. (laughs)
4661
4662Jim: Yeah right, whatever.
4663
4664Melfina: (laughs)
4665
4666Suzuka: What interesting people you all are.
4667
4668Gilliam: Congradulations Gene. So sorry to interupt the festivities, however...
4669
4670Gene: Okay, now what?
4671
4672Gilliam: I'm afraid Pirate ships are closing in our position.
4673
4674Gene: Pirates? Where?
4675
4676Melfina: Distance, 20000. They seem to have spotted us.
4677
4678// Indeed. On the pirate ship...
4679
4680Bald Pirate: Gaki, Unak, lets plan to attack in 2 minutes. Do you see any sign of them?
4681
4682Gaki: Well, the guys on the ground really screwed up, huh?
4683
4684Unak: Ah... Who cares thats fine with me, lets have some fun.
4685
4686Melfina: They aren't responding to our signals.
4687
4688Gilliam: Its a jammer. It looks like those are grappler Pirate ships.
4689
4690Jim: Now what do we do?
4691
4692Gene: Time for grappler combat. Now Gilliam, tell me, just how do I arm these?
4693
4694Gilliam: Once you remove the safety's, they should be able to arm themselves.
4695
4696Jim: Are you sure about this? You've never done it before.
4697
4698Gene: Hey don't worry. When it comes to manipulators, I'm as good as it gets Jim. So anyways,
4699look, I'm really gonna need your help here so we can pull this one off. Huh, partner?
4700
4701Melfina: Now switching over to Grappler Combat mode. Combat will begin in 30 seconds.
4702
4703Gene: Ah... scatter all the camera pods now, Jim.
4704
4705Jim: You've got it.
4706
4707Gene: Here goes.
4708
4709Gilliam: The enemy ships are grappler ships and they're spreading cameras as well.
4710
4711// The enemies shoot at them.
4712
4713Gilliam: Enemy has fired multiple missiles.
4714
4715Jim: Launching anti-missiles now.
4716
4717// He does it.
4718
4719Gene: Let's do it!
4720
4721// Gene shoots at them.
4722
4723Unak: You're tough, you're also meat.
4724
4725// Gene blast his ship, and part of it is destroyed.
4726
4727Unak: Ah, I'm hit hard.
4728
4729Bald Pirate: You okay, Unak?
4730
4731Unak: Yeah, I'll get him!
4732
4733Gene: You think you're as good as me with a gun? Ah... it's not firing.
4734
4735Jim: The gun't empty. We've got to swap it with a spare. But I can do it.
4736
4737Gene: Okay, you do that but for now we're gonna go hand to hand.
4738
4739Unak: Lets do it Gaki!
4740
4741Gaki: Yeah, dinner's on me when we get back.
4742
4743// They fight.
4744
4745Unak: Yah!
4746
4747Gaki: Blast you!
4748
4749// They both are killed.
4750
4751Jim: Way to go.
4752
4753Gene: But there's still one left.
4754
4755Gilliam: Abnormality in engine 2.
4756
4757Melfina: Output dropped 30 degrees.
4758
4759Gene: Alright, I'm gonna finish this guy off fast.
4760
4761Bald Pirate: You just took out Unak and Gaki. Now you're dead meat.
4762
4763// They fight.
4764
4765Gene: Yah!
4766
4767Bald Pirate Yeah!
4768
4769// They fight.
4770
4771Bald Pirate: I got to admit... He's pretty good.
4772
4773// He dies.
4774
4775Jim: You did it Gene!
4776
4777Gilliam: Combat mode ended.
4778
4779Gene: Ah man... Thats a good workout. I think its about time now for me to hit the baths.
4780
4781Melfina: Gene, well done.
4782
4783Gene: Hey, thanks a lot Melfina.
4784
4785Melfina: It was nothing. You did everything.
4786
4787Gilliam: I'd just like to say that was a job well done. You've managed to keep the ship intact,
4788and we're now exited the gravity zone of Sentinel 3. Shall I prepare to go to Sub
4789Ether Drive?
4790
4791Gene: Yeah, okay. Lets go to Heiphong now.
4792
4793Jim: Why there?
4794
4795Gene: Heiphong is the Ban pirate territory so I imagine that those Kai pirates won't go looking
4796for us there, right?
4797
4798Suzuka: Thats not for certain only time will tell.
4799
4800Jim: Heiphong's got a lot going on so maybe we'll be able to find a good job there.
4801
4802Gene: A job?
4803
4804Jim: Yeah, how else will we pay for this thing's maintence, ammunition, and repairs?
4805
4806Gene: I don't know... Boy did we inherit a major pain in the butt or what?
4807
4808Gilliam: I beg your pardon, but I am not a major pain in the butt. I am Gilliam 2. And the name
4809of this ship is the Outlaw Star.
4810
4811Melfina: Do you mind if I set the course for Heiphong?
4812
4813Gene: No, go ahead. It's about 20 light years. Good bye, Sentinel 3.

4836
4837// Outlaw Star flies by a star.
4838
4839Gilliam: I can't believe this. This is really too much. Because of Gene's constant recklessness,
4840I've been forced to take this dangerous route.
4841
4842// Everyone is asleep, except for Gene, who is aiming his gun.
4843
4844Gilliam: What are you doing now, Gene?
4845
4846Gene: Its pretty cool, don't you think?
4847
4848Gilliam: Very amusing. Now would you please get some rest?
4849
4850Gene: Alright, alright, alright. I think that I was sleepwalking. Sorry, I'll go to bed now.
4851Goodnight.
4852
4853Gilliam: Very well Gene. Goodnight.
4854
4855Gene: Ah... Gilliam?
4856
4857Gilliam: Yes? Is something the matter Gene?
4858
4859Gene: No, nothing really.
4860
4861// Gene swings his gun, but drops it on his foot.
4862
4863Gene: Ow!
4864
4865-----------------------------
4866
4867A Journey of Adventure. Huh?
4868
4869-----------------------------
4870
4871// Lots of little Gilliams transport various goods around the ship. Jim is working in the cargo
4872room.
4873
4874Melfina: Jim?
4875
4876Jim: Huh? Yeah? What is it?
4877
4878Melfina: We don't seem to have any salt.
4879
4880Jim: Salt? I thought I saw some salt around here somewhere. Found it, here ya go.
4881
4882// Jim throws it up to her.
4883
4884Melfina: Oh. Ah, thanks a lot. I've been cooking all day and in just a little while I'll have
4885dinner ready.
4886
4887Jim: Okay. Phew. Gilliam?
4888
4889Gilliam: What is it, Jim?
4890
4891Jim: Where's Gene? Is he out of bed yet?
4892
4893Gilliam: No. I've been trying to get him out of bed but I haven't had any luck yet.
4894
4895Jim: Alright, I'm sick of this.
4896
4897// A bunch of Gilliams try to get Gene up.
4898
4899Gilliams: Gene, its time to get up. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene.
4900
4901// Gene knocks them away.
4902
4903Gilliams: Gene, wak up. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene.
4904
4905Jim: Urh! Wake up! Get up now! C'mon, sleeping beauty, how long do you plan on staying in bed,
4906huh?
4907
4908// Gene pulls Gene down over him.
4909
4910Jim: Eww...
4911
4912Gene: Give me a kiss.
4913
4914Jim: Eww...
4915
4916Gene: I promise I'll get up Rosie, just kiss me.
4917
4918Jim: Erh! Just snap out of it!
4919
4920Gene: Alright, alright.
4921
4922Jim: Get out of bed!
4923
4924// A few minutes later, Gene is dressed.
4925
4926Jim: Look at you, its always the same, if no one gets on your case, you just slack off and stay
4927in bed all day.
4928
4929Gene: Whats the problem? You don't need to worry about being attacked right now and nothing else
4930needs to be done. I'm burned out over all thats been happening lately.
4931
4932Jim: So what? So is everybody else. C'mon, there's a ton of stuff that we need to do.
4933
4934Gene: What?
4935
4936Jim: First of all, theres the maintence on this cargo hold. If we don't do something soon, we'll
4937have a major problem cooking.
4938
4939Gene: Huh? What the hell happened here you guys?
4940
4941Jim: We didn't have any time to secure everything down when we launched, remember? And then
4942during the grappler fight, everything got all totally shook up so its a mess.
4943
4944Gene: Ah man...
4945
4946Jim: We also need to sit down and talk about future developments. So we can't lie in bed all day
4947Gene.
4948
4949Gene: The future developments of what?
4950
4951Jim: Starwind and Hawking Enterprises of course.
4952
4953Gene: Oh yeah? And whats that?
4954
4955// Melfina is cooking as they come in.
4956
4957Melfina: Oh, well good morning you two.
4958
4959Gene: Good morning.
4960
4961Jim: So listen, Heiphong's a big place. Now if we go there, our trouble with the Kai pirates will
4962probably be over, but I still don't think that Heiphong is so full of oppurtunity that we're
4963gonna find a bunch of good jobs just because we're looking for them.
4964
4965Gene: Mmmm... That smells good.
4966
4967Jim: Would you listen?
4968
4969Gene: Easy there Jim, you're not kidding, you really are worried.
4970
4971Jim: Well of cousre I am, don't you ever get it Gene?
4972
4973Gene: Don't I get what?
4974
4975Jim: Don't give me that! Look, we've never been to Heiphong, not to mention we don't have one
4976measly connection there. If we don't start getting information and coming up with some sort
4977of plan, repaying our debts will be the least of our worries.
4978
4979Gene: It'll be alright. C'mon, besides, what good does it do to worry about all that stuff anyway?
4980
4981Jim: So, have you already decided that we're going on this trip to Heiphong Gene? Huh? And what
4982about the space port fees? You've always been like this! If we don't put our heads together,
4983we'll never repay that 700000. I hate it that you always leave everything for the last
4984minute. I mean it Gene, you don't even know if you're coming or going.
4985
4986Gene: Ah... I don't want to hear about it, its so boring. All we have to do is pull off some
4987job and thats all there is to it. Then, we'll pay back what we owe and live like kings for
4988the rest of our life.
4989
4990Jim: Aw, give me a break Gene!
4991
4992Jim and Gene: Grrr....
4993
4994
4995
4996Melfina: Hey, both of you, please stop fighting.
4997
4998Suzuka: What a child.
4999
5000Suzuka: You better watch your pot, you shouldn't let it boil over like that or all the flavor
5001will boil away.
5002
5003Melfina: Oh... thanks.
5004
5005// Suzuka sits next to them.
5006
5007Suzuka: If you didn't mind, I thought I'd join you all for dinner tonight.
5008
5009Melfina: Of course.
5010
5011Jim: I don't like this already.
5012
5013Gene: (laughs) Hey did you hear that, she called you a child. So keep quiet little baby and eat
5014all your food.
5015
5016Suzuka: Actually, I meant both of you were immature.
5017
5018Jim: Huh?
5019
5020Suzuka: Hmm.
5021
5022Gene: What, are you talking to me, did you call me a child?
5023
5024Suzuka: Well, what did you think, didn't it sound that way to you?
5025
5026Gene: Listen you witch.
5027
5028Melfina: Gene...
5029
5030Gene: Huh?
5031
5032Melfina: Know what, I think you've been acting very funny too lately.
5033
5034Gene: What, so now you're saying everything thats happening is my fault?
5035
5036Melfina: No, thats not it.
5037
5038Gene: Yeah, give me a break, I've had enough of this.
5039
5040// He leaves.
5041
5042Melfina: But Gene, what about your food?
5043
5044Gene: I don't want it.
5045
5046// Later...
5047
5048Jim: What're we gonna do with that lady, she's a real pain in the neck. Bringing her along was
5049a really big mistake.
5050
5051Gene: What do you mean? Theres nothing we can do. Those Kai Pirates are after us, so for now
5052thats the way its gotta be. We have no choice, we have to keep her around here.
5053
5054Jim: That may be right, but don't you think that if you turn your back, she may try to get you
5055again?
5056
5057Gene: Who knows... Even so, if she does try something, she's not stupid enough to do anything
5058on board the ship. Look, don't even worry about it.
5059
5060Jim: There you go again, Gene.
5061
5062Gene: Just listen for a minute. There is something that my old man told me a long time ago. He
5063said, people who think big make it big. People who choose to only think small will earn
5064only chump change for the rest of their lives. Thats the way things are. And thats what
5065business is all about.
5066
5067Jim: yeah, so what exactly is your point?
5068
5069Gene: Well, I don't know, I guess nothing.
5070
5071Jim: Well pardon me for thinking so small. You can have your way about doing things big and not
5072thinking ways through, but I think I will be smart about it and do it my way you moron.
5073
5074Gene: Hey, what did you just say?
5075
5076Jim: Just forget it.
5077
5078Jim and Gene: Hmph.
5079
5080// Later, Gene is doing his laundry.
5081
5082Gene: Gilliam, where exactly are we now?
5083
5084Gilliam: We will enter Kozac space in 20 light years. According to Sentinel time, it will take
5085approximately 3 more days to reach Heiphong.
5086
5087Gene: 3 more days, huh? Hey Jim, would you clean up and do your own laundry you pig? I'm really
5088getting tired of this.
5089
5090// He walks into the hallway.
5091
5092Gilliam: We are very lucky that we haven't been attacked by pirates.
5093
5094Gene: Really? Well to tell you the truth I wish they would, because I could really use some
5095excitement right now.
5096
5097Gilliam: Please don't say such things. What would happen if they did come?
5098
5099Gene: I'd cut loose and blow em all away.
5100
5101// He walks into the kitchen.
5102
5103Melfina: Oh.
5104
5105Gene: Oh, hi. Heh. Ahem. I guess that I shouldn't sit down for a meal while I'm holding my
5106underwear.
5107
5108// Gene puts his underwear on Gilliam's rail.
5109
5110Gilliam: Gene, what are you doing? Stop that, thats my rail.
5111
5112Gene: Yeah, I know, I'm sorry but what can I do, I've got no where else to hold them.
5113
5114Gilliam: Why not hang them in the cargo hold, whats the matter with that?
5115
5116Gene: Well Jim's hogging the cargo hold to himself. He won't even let me use any of it.
5117
5118Gilliam: Then I must ask you to do it in your own quarters. Hanging them on the maintence rail
5119is out of the question.
5120
5121Gene: Do I have to sleep with my underwear in my face?
5122
5123Gilliam: Well, they're yours.
5124
5125Gene: This is the kinda stuff that makes me wanna get the heck out of here. Huh?
5126
5127// Jim walks by.
5128
5129Jim: Hmph.
5130
5131Gene: I guess he still got a problem, well he better learn to get over it. Uh... Gilliam, if I
5132remember correctly you said we were about to enter Kozac space, is that right?
5133
5134Gilliam: Yes, thats absolutely right.
5135
5136Gene: Do you know if there's a station near here thats called the Toward Stars Inn?
5137
5138Gilliam: Yes Gene, there is.
5139
5140Gene: Yeah...
5141
5142Gene: Jim!
5143
5144// He goes down to the cargo hold.
5145
5146Gene: Whats the matter with you? Are you still mad at me?
5147
5148Jim: I'm busy, what do you want?
5149
5150Gene: Well I...
5151
5152// A pink Gilliam arrives in front of Gene.
5153
5154Gene: (laughs)
5155
5156Gilliam: I knew it, I knew that you would laugh when you saw me.
5157
5158Gene: Whats up with this new color, Gilliam, was it your idea to do this?
5159
5160Jim: Give me that. No, it was my idea.
5161
5162Gilliam: I keep asking him to change the color back to blue, but he won't cooperate.
5163
5164Gene: So why is everybody making such a big deal? I think its kinda cute. (laughs)
5165
5166Gilliam: I suppose.
5167
5168Gene: There's so many of the other color floating around that its good to have one thats kinda
5169different, huh? Oh, and Melfina's upstairs, so why don't you show it to her.
5170
5171Jim: If you don't mind, I still have a lot of work to do, so if you're finished making fun of
5172me you can leave now.
5173
5174Gene: Well I thought I'd stop at a station to take care of some business.
5175
5176Jim: Did you say a station?
5177
5178Gene: I sure did and whether or not you come along is entirely up to you. So, just thought I'd
5179stop by a minute to let you know that.
5180
5181Jim: What, you're going? Are you kidding Gene, we don't have any money. Just what do you have
5182up your sleeve now?
5183
5184Gene: Hey, don't get all worked up about it.
5185
5186------------
5187
5188Eyecatch
5189
5190------------
5191
5192// They head into the Space Station.
5193
5194Jim: Okay smart alek, now what are we gonna do? I suppose when we leave we're gonna blast our way
5195out.
5196
5197Gene: No, we're not doing it that way, I don't wanna get on the bad side of those Ban guys.
5198
5199Jim: Never stopped you before.
5200
5201Gene: Welll we got a little problem, you see, there's no money in our pockets, right?
5202
5203Jim: Don't tell me you're gonna get a job.
5204
5205Gene: Yeah, something like that cause if we're going to Heiphong, we'll definately need to fatten
5206our wallets before we get there.
5207
5208Jim: Oh...
5209
5210Suzuka: I have to leave all of you now because there's some business I need to take care of, but
5211I'll see you at 20 hrs.
5212
5213All 3: Huh?
5214
5215// Later, at a restaurant, Gene eats.
5216
5217Gene: First we gotta eat. If we're not strong enough, we'll never be able to work.
5218
5219Jim: I'm not kidding Gene, all we have is pockeet change. You're not getting seconds.
5220
5221Gene: Don't worry about it, just top whining and start eating. Unless you want me to eat all
5222yours too.
5223
5224Jim: Hey, don't!
5225
5226Gene: Hey, you're just too slow
5227
5228
5229Jim: Oh yeah? Watch.
5230
5231// He eats fast. Gene does too.
5232
5233Melfina: Oh. More, Jim?
5234
5235Jim: Uh...
5236
5237Melfina: Try these, they're delicious.
5238
5239Jim: Oh man... thank you, Melfina.
5240
5241Melfina: (laughs) Jim, I'm worried about you, you're not yourself today, c'mon eat some more
5242will ya?
5243
5244Jim: Uh... I would, but I...
5245
5246Gene: Man, kids are lucky. All the ladies kiss up to them, just because they're little.
5247
5248Jim: Hm. Grr....
5249
5250Gene: Gr....
5251
5252// Later, they walk around. Melfina looks at stuff in a store window.
5253
5254
5255
5256Melfina: Oh.
5257
5258Jim: C'mon, Gene, what do you have up your sleeve this time, lets just get it over with.
5259
5260Gene: Alright, alright. IF you have to know, I guess I'll tell you. I heard about this wild story
5261from our dear friend Fred. There's supposedly a legend about a wanted man who lives outside
5262the city. He's worth 10000 wong.
5263
5264Jim: 10000 wong?!
5265
5266// Gene covers his mouth.
5267
5268Jim: I've never seen any stuff on this guy.
5269
5270Gene: Thats because there isn't any data on this guy, but everyone around here knows about him.
5271
5272Jim: C'mon, are you sure its a good idaea to take on a guy like that?
5273
5274Gene: Jim, if you're gonna do something, do it big. You know thats the Starwind and Hawking
5275Enterprises motto.
5276
5277Jim: That might be your motto but its not mine. Its the stupidist thing I ever heard of.
5278
5279Gene: Okay thats fine then, have it your own way. Look, suit yourself. When I get that 10000 wong
5280I'm taking myself to a nice restaurant again. You'll be left with just pocket change and
5281you'll have to eat at some space take out or eat nothing at all.
5282
5283Jim: Erh... Wait a minute, who said I wouldn't do it.
5284
5285Gene: Make up your mind JIm. Are you coming, or are you gonna stay behind?
5286
5287Jim: Uh... I guess I'll tag along with you.
5288
5289Gene: Good, I'm counting on you big time, partner.
5290
5291Jim: C'mon now, cut it out now Gene.
5292
5293Melfina: Um... Is something wrong? Everyone's looking at you.
5294
5295Gene and Jim: Huh? Oh... (laughs)
5296
5297Gene: Sorry Mel, but would you mind going back to the ship now?
5298
5299// They go to a bar outside the city...
5300
5301Bartender: So what can I get for you guys?
5302
5303Gene: I got to tend to some business here with a guy called Zonba.
5304
5305Bartender: Uh... Uh...
5306
5307// Everyone in the bar is silent.
5308
5309Bartender: Are you a bounty hunter?
5310
5311Gene: Uh... sorta.
5312
5313// Everyone runs out in fright.
5314
5315Bartender: Oh. Tell me whats you name and your exact height.
5316
5317Gene: Why?
5318
5319Bartender: Because now I'll have to order another coffin.
5320
5321Gene: Yeah, thats exactly what I want to hear. This guy must be worth the money, huh?
5322
5323// They go upstairs to Zonba's room.
5324
5325Gene: Heh.
5326
5327Zonba: How very rude, what do you want?
5328
5329Gene: You Zonba?
5330
5331Zonba: That would be me.
5332
5333Gene: I'm the one and only Gene Starwind. And I'm gonna make a name for myself by getting rid of
5334you.
5335
5336Zonba: Don't you want your name on a tombstone? Lets take this outside. I wouldn't want to get
5337my room dirty.
5338
5339// They go to an abandoned church. A crow is there.
5340
5341Zonba: The crow you just heard is singing his song of doom for you.
5342
5343Gene: Oh really? I think you're wrong, it sounds to me like he's singing that song for you.
5344
5345Zonba: We'll find that out soon enough, won't we.
5346
5347Gene: Okay, anytime you're ready. Lets get on with it.
5348
5349Zonba: Yaaah!
5350
5351Gene: Hey Jim.
5352
5353Jim: Just a second Gene. You'll have to get behind him cause his back's his weak spot and that
5354way you'll get your shot.
5355
5356Gene: Thats easier said than done.
5357
5358// Gene stabs him in the back.
5359
5360Zonba: Yaah! It seems the crow was singing for me after all.
5361
5362Gene: Sorry about that, but when it comes to fighting cyborgs, I never hold myself back. I
5363couldn't have done it without ya, Jim.
5364
5365Jim: Hey, way to go Gene.
5366
5367// Later...
5368
5369Gene: Alright, yeah, way to go, we got 2000 wong here.
5370
5371Jim: Well I thought it was supposed to be 10000.
5372
5373Gene: Ah, give me a break, Jim. Who knew it was only a dumb android and not the real Zonba? Hey,
5374I did the best I could. C'mon now, we can't really complain, 2000 wong is a lot of money.
5375
5376Jim: Yeah, I suppose.
5377
5378Gene: And after I take done the real Zonba, we'll have even more money. A man's gotta do what
5379he's gotta do. When you're a big guy like me, you've got to do big things, remember Jim?
5380Understand what I'm saying?
5381
5382Jim: Oh...
5383
5384Suzuka: Well, well what a surprise to see you.
5385
5386Gene: Oh, hey Suzuka.
5387
5388Suzuka: It seems like we both have the same idea.
5389
5390Gene: I guess so, but we just made 2000. Jim and I just took down the legendary man.
5391
5392Suzuka: What legendary man?
5393
5394Jim: He was really tough. And if I wasn't there to tell Gene what to do, he would've gotten his
5395butt kicked upside down.
5396
5397Gene: Yeah right, what do you think your talking about?
5398
5399Jim: (laughs)
5400
5401
5402
5403Gene: So uh, how much money did you actually make?
5404
5405Suzuka: Oh, not much really, just a trifle amount.
5406
5407// She leaves. A bunch of people nearby start talking.
5408
5409Lady: Look, here she comes, she's the one who took down Zonba.
5410
5411Lady 2: He was worth 10000 wong.
5412
5413All: Ah!
5414
5415Gene and Jim: Huh?
5416
5417Gene: Did they say Suzuka took out the legendary Zonba?
5418
5419Jim: Looks like we just lost our big fat chance to prove our manhood. I've been saying the same
5420thing all along. If we don't get our act together with some kind of plan, Starwind and
5421Hawking Enterprises is gonna be in trouble.
5422
5423Gene: Erhhh.... yah!
5424
5425// Later, as they head back to the ship...
5426
5427Announcer: May I have your attention. Today is the day that the ships are arriving for the 13th
5428Heiphong Space Race. They have come from all over and are starting to assemble at this
5429time. In this strenous competition, we'll find out who will overcome all the
5430obstacles and take home the wreath of victory this year. The competition begins in
54315 days.
5432
5433// Gene sees MacDougal's ship on the screen.
5434
5435Gene: Uh... Is that ship...
5436
5437Jim: Hey, whats the matter with you?
5438
5439Gene: Ah... nothing, really its nothing. Hey partner, what do you say, lets take off for Heiphong
5440right now.
5441
5442Jim: Okay, eye eye sir.
5443
5444// They go back.
5445
5446Melfina: I'm glad you're back.
5447
5448Gene: Look, we're taking off right away.
5449
5450Melfina: Alright.
5451
5452// They take off.
5453
5454Gene: That ship... That was MacDougal's ship. No doubt about it.

5462Gathering for the Space Race
5463
5464
5465
5466
5467
5468Narrator: The history of racing in space goes back many years. Before the development of the
5469Manchausin Drive, races were held in the sole system using primitive spacecraft. With
5470the construction of the FTL craft, the scale of the races expanded. Eventuallly,
5471competitions that descended down from them continue to take place throughout the
5472galaxy. Spaceship development factories and their subsidiary companies risk losing
5473prestige by sinking funds into corporate ships, while unknown privatiers enter their
5474own ships, trusting in their abilities. Whether they're corporate or private, pilots
5475in the race are all shooting for the same goal. The fame and glory bestowed on the
5476winner. It spurs them on in these dangerous races. These races have become well known
5477for the difficulty of their courses, not to mention the speed involved. Year after
5478year, many ships continue to participate. But the ultimate glory's given to the one who
5479overcomes all of these obstacles.
5480
5481// The Outlaw Star is finally at Heiphong.
5482
5483Space Port Guy: Attention. This is space port control tower in Heiphong. Outlaw Star, I have you
5484on my beacon.
5485
5486Gene: Yes, we finally made it to Heiphong.
5487
5488Jim: Since Heiphong's such a big place, aren't the port fees gonna cost us an awful lot of money?
5489
5490Gene: Yeah, whatever, it will work out.
5491
5492// They are on a subway.
5493
5494Jim: Wow, this place is pretty cool.
5495
5496Gene: C'mon, don't get so excited, it's embarressing.
5497
5498Jim: I can't help it.
5499
5500Jim and Gene: Oh...
5501
5502
5503
5504Gene: Man o man, Heiphong's a big city alright.
5505
5506Jim: Yeah.
5507
5508Suzuka: So Gene, where do you plan on going to from here?
5509
5510Gene: To the offices of the space race here in Heiphong.
5511
5512Suzuka: Space race office?
5513
5514Gene: Thats right, we're gonna enter the Outlaw Star in the space race.
5515
5516------------
5517
5518Gathering For the Space Race
5519
5520------------
5521
5522// In the office...
5523
5524Claire: Alright , now the Heiphong Space Race is open to everyone. The entry fee may be paid by
5525business or an individual, either way is fine. And the ship's class doesn't matter
5526either. If you'd still like to enter, I recommend you do now.
5527
5528Gene: There's one more thing I'd like to know. If it would be possible, I'd like to get some more
5529information about the other ships that are competing.
5530
5531Claire: I'm sorry, according to the rules, you're not allowed to investigate the other ships.
5532
5533Gene: But I'm only interested in one other ship.
5534
5535Claire: Well, I'm not allowed to tell you that sir.
5536
5537Gene: Are you sure you can't?
5538
5539Claire: Yes sir.
5540
5541Gene: Okay, well in that case there's one other thing I'd like to know.
5542
5543Claire: What would that be?
5544
5545Gene: I'd really like your phone number.
5546
5547Jim: Oh...
5548
5549Claire: If I'm not mistaken, I think you already have this office's phone number.
5550
5551Gene: Oh I see, since you put it that way, I guess I'll just call the office when the race is
5552over. In the meantime, would you mind doing me a favor? Tell us what we need to do now.
5553
5554Claire: Just fill in the necessary items on these forms. Our staff will conduct a simple on
5555board check in before the race begins.
5556
5557Gene: And anything else?
5558
5559Claire: Yes sir. You must deposit into an assigned account 150000 wong as your entry fee.
5560
5561Gene: I'm sorry, how much did you say?
5562
5563Claire: 150000 wong. That of course includes the insurance.
5564
5565Gene: Open to everyone?! Yeah right, c'mon lady, even if you win the race you don't take home a
5566single wong. What private pilot has that kind of money?
5567
5568Jim: That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of.
5569
5570Claire: When participants can't afford it they simply find themselves a sponser.
5571
5572Jim: Find a sponser?
5573
5574Claire: Thats right. The Heiphong Space Race is regarded as a highly effective advertising
5575approach by which many businesses have found they increased their sales. However...
5576
5577Gene: Yeah? What now?
5578
5579Claire: Just so you'd know, it might be difficult for someone entering the first time to find a
5580sponser.
5581
5582Gene: I know! Thanks for nothing! Just you watch us lady, we're gonna enter this darn race and
5583we're gonna win! I'm not really sure how though.
5584
5585// Later, as they eat at a local diner...
5586
5587Jim: Just forget about it. I don't think we'll come up with the 150000 no matter what we do.
5588
5589Gene: There are 2 reasons why we gotta fly in the space race. First, we gotta promote our name.
5590Because if we don't the big jobs are never gonna come our way.
5591
5592Jim: You mean use it to kinda advertise us? Still what good is the race if we don't make any
5593money?
5594
5595Gene: The second reason is MacDougal. I heard his ship is here now.
5596
5597Jim: What are you kidding? The MacDougal Brothers are gonna enter the race?
5598
5599Gene: I'm not sure. I dont' have any definite proof but I thought I saw one that looked like his
5600on the news when they showed all the ships entering the port.
5601
5602Jim: Are you sure it was really them?
5603
5604Gene: I don't think I can forget that ship. And I"m gonna enter this race to make sure they don't
5605forget me.
5606
5607Jim: Okay, so now I know we are. But how are we gonna do it?
5608
5609Gene: Hey, what do you think?
5610
5611Suzuka: I believe in the expression neither a borrower nor a lender be. I left 3 wong, which was
5612my part of the bill.
5613
5614// Suzuka leaves.
5615
5616Gene: Wait a minute, where are you going?
5617
5618Suzuka: I haven't the slightest bit of interest in space racing and theres nothing else here at
5619the moment that needs my help. But don't worry, once the race is over I'll be in touch
5620with you again.
5621
5622Gene: Hey, don't bother.
5623
5624Melfina: You sure about that?
5625
5626Gene: I don't care, she can do what she wants.
5627
5628Jim: So now what are we supposed to do?
5629
5630Gene: I guess we're gonna have to go see our friend.
5631
5632Jim: What? Uh oh.
5633
5634// At Fred's...
5635
5636Fred: My my, Gene and Jim. It must be fate that has brought us together again.
5637
5638
5639
5640Gene: Actually, I'm surprised to find you here at your place. I thought other people always ran
5641your divine headquarters.
5642
5643Fred: If theres a god of business he's certainly watching over me.
5644
5645Gene: We came here strictly for business Fred. C'mon, I already explained this to you on the
5646phone.
5647
5648Fred: Okay, alright, stop joking. I'll be glad to sponser you.
5649
5650Gene: Really?
5651
5652Jim: Yeah!
5653
5654Fred: Its good advertising, even for us. We'll handle all your expenses if you finish in the
5655money.
5656
5657Gene: Whats this in the money? Is that when you finish in the top 3?
5658
5659Fred: Thats right. But if you finish 4th or lower you'll owe me even more money.
5660
5661Jim: You see, what did I tell ya Gene?
5662
5663Gene: Stop, its alright Jim. Okay, thats fine. With expenses it will come to about 400000 wong so
5664please have it ready for us.
5665
5666Fred: Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time. Hm.
5667
5668// He brings out a rack with a sheet over it.
5669
5670Gene: Whats that supposed to be?
5671
5672// Fred takes off the jacket revealing a very weird looking costume.
5673
5674Fred: When you're in the winners circle you'll wear this. This way everyone will get a chance to
5675see you in it. It will be worth the 400000 and bring me such joy to my heart that I did it.
5676
5677Jim: You're not gonna go through with this, are ya?
5678
5679Gene: Yeah, like we have any other choice.
5680
5681Jim: Fred, Melfina's not gonna have to wear that thing, is she?
5682
5683Fred: Gene, you shouldn't bring Melfina here, it wouldn't be good. This place is much too
5684conspicous.
5685
5686Melfina: Oh.
5687
5688Gene: Whats going on here, what do you know about this?
5689
5690Fred: Oh, not too much really. Only that the Kai pirates have been looking all over the place for
5691you and are making a special effort to find Melfina.
5692
5693Gene: Oh, are you going to betray us and try to sell us out?
5694
5695Fred: Of course not. Continuing to do business with you proves to be much more profitable.
5696
5697Gene: We're not gonna let you down Fred.
5698
5699Fred: Good. Now lets see what you're made of.
5700
5701Gene: We'll see ya later. I hope you have a good time watching the race.
5702
5703Fred: When does the race start?
5704
5705Gene: Not long, 30 hours from now. We need to get going, we got a lot to do. Take it easy, Fred.
5706
5707// On the way out...
5708
5709Guard: You better not screw this up, I'm counting onyou.
5710
5711Gene: Well well, what a shock. I never thought I'd see the day when you were cheering me on.
5712
5713// In space...
5714
5715Control Tower Guy: Outlaw Star control tower here. Negative return now confirmed.
5716
5717Gene: This is the Outlaw Star here. Yes, negative return is clear.
5718
5719Gilliam: Planetary launches should always run as smooth as this. Big cities always have the best
5720capabilities.
5721
5722Jim: yeah, but it costs so much to park and we were only there for half a day.
5723
5724Gene: You can't do anything without money here in Heiphong Jim, but if you're willing to spend
5725a little you can find just about anything that you can think of.
5726
5727Melfina: Now displaying route to designated star position.
5728
5729Gene: I gotcha.
5730
5731Gilliam: Proceed immediately to start position.
5732
5733Gene: Hey Gilliam, do you have any detailed maps of the Heiphong area?
5734
5735Gilliam: Yes I do. My library is on par of that with a space force cruiser.
5736
5737Gene: Good, go ahead and get them ready. We're gonna be needing them for the race.
5738
5739Gilliam: Really, what race would that be? And by the way Gene, you still haven't explained to me
5740why Suzuka didn't come along this trip with you.
5741
5742Gene: Don't worry, I'll explain the whole plan to you later.
5743
5744// At the dock, Gene looks around.
5745
5746Gene: I don't see MacDougal's ship anywhere.
5747
5748Jim: You can tell all of that from here?
5749
5750Gene: Believe me, if he was here I'd know it.
5751
5752Jim: I think its kinda creepy here. (Yawn).
5753
5754Gene: Hey listen, why don't we go check out that pre-race party thats going on now?
5755
5756Jim: Mmmm... I'm there.
5757
5758// On the way...
5759
5760Jim: We left Melfina on the ship you know. You sure she's okay?
5761
5762Gene: I'm just worried about what Fred said. And since she prefered to stay behind, I figured
5763that was best.
5764
5765Jim: Maybe we should bring her back some cake from the party, I'm sure she'd really like that.
5766
5767// On the Outlaw Star...
5768
5769Melfina: Gilliam, I'd like to make a request to access Heiphong's largest data bank if you will
5770please.
5771
5772Gilliam: The most likely one would be Dialo University. Just give me an extra moment Melfina.
5773And what specific topic are you interested in finding out about?
5774
5775Melfina: The subject is myself.
5776
5777Gilliam: Yourself? What exactly do you mean by that?
5778
5779Melfina: I'd like some information to find about about who I really am. Why was I created at all.
5780I want to know why.
5781
5782Gilliam: Melfina dear, in my world thinking about one's self isn't permitted at all. But I can
5783truly sympathize with how you're feeling right now. And I will do all that I can to
5784help you.
5785
5786Melfina: Thank you Gilliam.
5787
5788// At the party...
5789
5790Speaker: The Heiphong Space Race has now reached its 13th year, and has become a truly hospicious
5791event with our largest field ever. This year, it consists of 13 corporate ships and 29
5792private ships that have entered the competition.
5793
5794Gene: I wonder if he's here somewhere.
5795
5796Speaker: The fact that there are 40 ships participating in this race merely for the honor of
5797winning is a true testement to its popularity.
5798
5799Jim: Looking around won't do you any good, you don't know what he looks like.
5800
5801Gene: So, I can still look.
5802
5803Jim: C'mon, Gene, we paid big bucks to be in this race so lets atleast get our money's worth.
5804Check it out, don't you wanna try a little? Hm?
5805
5806Gene: Yeah, alright.
5807
5808// Gene walks up to a waitress that looks oddly familiar.
5809
5810Gene: Ah. Hm? Ah?
5811
5812Aisha: Meow?
5813
5814Gene: Um.... hi.
5815
5816Aisha: Yaah! I finally found you, Gene Starwind!
5817
5818---------------
5819
5820Eyecatch
5821
5822---------------
5823
5824Gene: Um... Hi.
5825
5826Aisha: I found you! I found you! I found you! I finally found you!
5827
5828Gene: Okay... What are you doing, Aisha?
5829
5830Aisha: This is divine guidance from the god of Ctarl. Thank you god of Ctarl, I can hardly believe
5831it! Even though I had absolutely no money, I was determined to track you down and so I
5832hitchhiked all the way across space.
5833
5834Jim: You hitchhiked all the way across space to get here?
5835
5836Aisha: Yes, and it was hard. I went to where the ships were stationed and when I got there they
5837made me do all this heavy labor. I dreamt it and dreamt it and wound up here on Heiphong
5838and was so grateful to get this waitress job to earn just enough to eat. And just as I
5839was paying myself who would show up buth you? (laughs) Well well, who knew we would be
5840running into each other again so soon?
5841
5842Gene: Man, I can't believe what bad luck we have.
5843
5844Jim: This is ridicolous.
5845
5846Aisha: Hey you 2, stop your babbling, I'm the one in control here.
5847
5848
5849
5850Boss: Aisha!
5851
5852Aisha: Huh?
5853
5854Boss: Behave yourself.
5855
5856Aisha: Ah... These 2 creeps, I mean gentlemen, were bothering me and I had to take care of myself.
5857
5858Boss: Thats enough, we'll talk later.
5859
5860Aisha is dragged away.
5861
5862Aisha: Stop! Let go of me, let go!
5863
5864Boss: If you cause anymore trouble here Aisha, you're not gonna get paid!
5865
5866Aisha: Oh...
5867
5868Boss: I'm very sorry about that gentlemen.
5869
5870Gene: Hey, thats okay, really its no big deal.
5871
5872// Back on the Outlaw Star...
5873
5874Gilliam: I'm afraid there weren't enough leads for me to get any information for you Melfina.
5875
5876Melfina: Thats alright, thank you for trying.
5877
5878Gilliam: We could try checking out the pirates through the space forces, but I think thats also
5879gonna be very difficult.
5880
5881Melfina: Its okay, you don't have to worry Gilliam. I didn't think I'd find out everything there
5882is to know about me right away.
5883
5884Gilliam: Very well, I am sure that we will find a good lead eventually Melfina.
5885
5886Melfina: Me too. Gene promised me one day that I would find out.
5887
5888Gilliam: Oh did he? Well speaking of the devil, I believe he's coming through the door right now.
5889
5890Jim: We're back! Hey guess what Melfina, we brought you a surprise!
5891
5892Melfina: Just for me?
5893
5894Jim: Mm hm.
5895
5896Gene: Now listen Melfina, we need to resupply the ship, make a maitenence check, and get some
5897rest cause we start in 12 hours.
5898
5899Melfina: Okay.
5900
5901Gilliam: We start for where?
5902
5903// Later...
5904
5905Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the start of the 13th Annual Heiphong Space Race is about to
5906begin. Participating ships have come from all over and are now assembling at the
5907starting point. Which team will win the wreath of victory in the Heiphong Space Race?
5908
5909Gene: We leave here from Heiphong 4 and head to the third planet, Heiphong 3.
5910
5911Jim: They say that its a binary planet. Man, they sure picked a nasty place to put that
5912checkpoint.
5913
5914Gene: Oh, it gets much worse after that. Next, its the 5th planet, and then an orbit around
5915that gaseous nebula and then we pass through the asteroid belt.
5916
5917Jim: It says that you can use the checkpoint at either the first or the second planet.
5918
5919Melfina: The course using the second planet takes longer, but the course for the first planet
5920is kinda risky.
5921
5922Gene: I like it already. Then we turn around and head back to Heiphong. The trip totals 1.6
5923billion kilometers.
5924
5925Gilliam: We're in this race so we may as well win, Gene!
5926
5927Gene: Alright, well its good to see you psyched.
5928
5929Gilliam: Thats because no ship is even gonna come close to beating out the Outlaw Star.
5930
5931Gene: You know it, now lets show them what the Outlaw Star is really made of. (thinking) I'm
5932gonna hunt you down MacDougal.
5933
5934Jim: Gene, this will be all for nothing if we don't finish in the top 3.
5935
5936Gene: Don't worry about that.
5937
5938Jim: Alright, whatever you say. But if we finish in the top 3, thats 400000 wong minus the entry
5939fee then we get 200000 left for us. (laughs)
5940
5941Announcer: The ships will start one at a time in 2 minute intervals. The first ship is approaching
5942the starting gate. The Blue Continental, a private vessel that competed in the last 6
5943races, piloted by Ernest Blue.
5944
5945Melfina: All systems are normal, the output of all engines is normal.
5946
5947Gene: We're number 26 in the line up, so relax, it will take a while.
5948
5949Announcer: Ship number 7 in today's competition is unique. The Noburi Nueiro will be driven today
5950by Mr. Nubaso Kunono. He's here on business from Ctarl Ctarl.
5951
5952Gene: Hey, he said thats a Ctarl Ctarl ship.
5953
5954Jim: Oh yeah?
5955
5956// On the ship...
5957
5958Pilot: Officer Aisha, how would you like us to run this space race, like we normally do, or
5959perhaps some other way.
5960
5961Aisha: Until I give an order, do what you want, but always remember to think of my orders as the
5962same as the empire's orders.
5963
5964Pilot: Right.
5965
5966Aisha: Just you watch my dear friends.
5967
5968Pilot: Well, I'm going now Officer Aisha.
5969
5970// They start.
5971
5972Melfina: Newton Reactor and gravity cycle unit are now coming online.
5973
5974Announcer: Well it looks like he made it after all, and just in time. The El Dorado arrived
5975late, but now the ship has managed to find its place in the starting lineup.
5976
5977// MacDougal's ship shows up.
5978
5979Gene: Huh? Oh...
5980
5981Announcer: The El Dorado, which placed fifth last year, is a favorite this year. Her captain is
5982Harry Williams.
5983
5984Gene: Harry Williams? Does that mean its not MacDougal?
5985
5986// On the ship...
5987
5988Harry: Hey I'm sorry I'm late, I got caught in an ether current storm on my way over to the race.
5989
5990Technician: The El Dorado is scheduled to start in 7 minutes. Can you get yourself ready to go
5991by then?
5992
5993Harry: Sure.
5994
5995Technician: Alright, good luck Mr. Williams.
5996
5997// He leaves.
5998
5999Leo: Hey Harry, there's a transmition thats coming in. Says he's on the Outlaw Star.
6000
6001Harry: I don't know that ship. Its about time we got started, just drop that for now.
6002
6003Gene: Darn, he won't answer.
6004
6005Race Official: Outlaw Star, the open channel at the starting point is for official use only.
6006
6007Announcer: Attention, the El Dorado is headed for the starting gate.
6008
6009Gene: Lets fire off the engines, I'm gonna close in on that ship.
6010
6011Gilliam: The officials will stop us most certainly.
6012
6013Jim: Gene, now take it easy, don't do anything crazy. You don't know who's ship that is for sure.
6014
6015Gene: Ugh... Yeah, I guess you're right about that. Its a long race, but I'll get my chance to
6016find out for sure.
6017
6018Announcer: El Dorado, its time to start.
6019
6020Harry: Okay Leo, go ahead and cut loose.
6021
6022Leo: Yeah hah!
6023
6024// The El Dorado starts. Suzuka is in a casino, the race is on a television.
6025
6026Announcer: Following the Bonaparte, sponsered by the Penelope Corporation, is the Outlaw Star, a
6027private vessel competing for the first time. Her captain is Gene Starwind.
6028
6029// Outlaw Star starts going. An odd looking man watches in the dock.
6030
6031Gwen: that ship looks very familiar.
6032
6033Man: Is there something bothering you, Professor Khan?
6034
6035Gwen: Oh no, its was nothing, nothing at all. Thank you for asking. It'll be alright. No doubt
6036about it, thats ship's the XGP15A2. But whats it doing here?
6037
6038// Meanwhile...
6039
6040Race Official: This is your final check, are you ready?
6041
6042Gene: All systems green.
6043
6044Race Official: Out
6045
6046------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6047
6048
6049Race Official: Well lets see... You just flew past 12 ships. There are 13 ships ahead of you,
6050but your time puts you in sixth as of now.
6051
6052Jim: We're only in sixth after all we went through?
6053
6054Race Official: You know, you're not the only ones who took that route just now, but I'll tell ya,
6055you are the only ones who slipped past that wave.
6056
6057Gene: Yeah, well I thought I'd try to make the race a little more exciting.
6058
6059Race Official: I getcha. Well now, you have a good race, okay?
6060
6061Jim: Next up is the fifth planet Heiphong 5. Distance about 5 million kilometers.
6062
6063Gene: Alright then, lets go to Sub Ether and jump this stretch, what do you say?
6064
6065// Meanwhile, Suzuka listens to a radio on the beach.
6066
6067Announcer: The rookie ship Outlaw Star has suddenly jumped up when it cleared the first checkpoint
6068and is know currently in sixth place. What do you think will happen, Mr. Ishigaki?
6069
6070Mr. Ishigaki: Good question. With the Outlaw Star in sixth place, its certainly the darn course.
6071
6072// On Outlaw Star...
6073
6074Gene: Making a single orbit around this thing is an easy checkpoint, its obvious, what do you
6075think... Jim? Huh?
6076
6077// Jim is asleep.
6078
6079Gene: Hey! Jim!
6080
6081Melfina: Hang in there Jim, we're almost to the weigh station.
6082
6083Jim: (yawns) Yeah, you're right. You know, we're supposed to pull the ship over so we can run
6084maintanence for atleast an hour.
6085
6086Gilliam: All systems show normal. Showing all green.
6087
6088Gene: Well in that case, lets run maitanance on our selves. C'mon guys, lets go get something to
6089eat.
6090
6091// They go to the station. Gene sees the El Dorado in the ship dock.
6092
6093Gene: Its that ship... I finally caught up with him.
6094
6095// Gene walks into a restaurant in the station and to the table where Harry sits.
6096
6097Gene: Pardon me guys, are you the crew of the El Dorado?
6098
6099Harry: Yeah, thats right, and who's asking?
6100
6101Gene: First of all, which one of you's MacDougal?
6102
6103Harry: There's nobody by that name here.
6104
6105Gene: Yeah right, like I'm supposed to believe you. The MacDougal Brothers are the ones who own
6106the El Dorado.
6107
6108Harry: Who are you talking about? I don't have the foggiest idea of what you mean.
6109
6110Gene: Look, don't be stupid. It doesn't look like the guy Hilda talked to is here, but I remember
6111that ship alright.
6112
6113// Flashback to El Dorado
6114
6115
6116
6117Gene: You don't fool me, I wouldn't forget that for anything. That is definately the same ship
6118that attacked us at Farfallas.
6119
6120Leo: What are you trying to pull here mister?
6121
6122Terry: Let go of Harry right now!
6123
6124Harry: Hey Terry, Leo its okay. Look here, I have no idea what you're talking about, I've never
6125even been to Farfalas, or whatever.
6126
6127Gene: Alright then, why were the Kai Pirates looking for the XGP? And why did your people try to
6128destroy the XGP?
6129
6130Harry: If you keep trying to pick a fight, I'll just have to call the race staff and...
6131
6132Gene: Fine, go ahead but if you're smart you'd just cut out all the nonscense and just level with
6133me.
6134
6135Harry: Somebody! This guy's interfering with the race!
6136
6137Official: Is there a problem here?
6138
6139Gene: Heh heh, no, he was just telling me about the house special, right? Well, sounds great, I
6140better be going, the special will have to wait for next time, thanks anyway buddy. See you
6141later.
6142
6143// He leaves.
6144
6145Terry: Hey Harry, who was that guy?
6146
6147Harry: Shut your mouth.
6148
6149Terry: Eh?
6150
6151Harry: That little $@%*&! I can't believe it, he survived Farfalas?
6152
6153Official: Everything okay here sir, you need some help?
6154
6155Harry: No, everything's okay. Thank you.
6156
6157// Back on the ship...
6158
6159Jim: Watching you deal with that guy scared the life out of me, Gene. Man, talk about just blowing
6160a whole bunch of hot air.
6161
6162Gene: Yeah, well thats only if the guy wasn't MacDougal. But if that really was him, then he
6163can't ignore us anymore. You'll see, he'll make contact.
6164
6165Gilliam: Excuse me, but that ship is starting out now.
6166
6167Gene: How soon can we leave?
6168
6169Gilliam: In 11 minutes.
6170
6171Gene: Once we catch up I'll show him a thing or two.
6172
6173// Later...
6174
6175Race Official: Attention all ships, we've been told that an ether stream is forming that
6176stretches from Heiphong 5 to the checkpoint 4A at Heiphong 1. The use of checkpoint
61774B at Heiphong 2 is recommended. I repeat...
6178
6179Jim: You heard what he said.
6180
6181Gene: Now, lets see how fast the El Dorado handles it.
6182
6183// On the El Dorado...
6184
6185Harry: Leo, give me the official data on the ship that left after us.
6186
6187Leo: Okay.
6188
6189// He sees the info.
6190
6191Harry: Is that the XGP?
6192
6193// Meanwhile, at Fred's...
6194
6195Announcer: The ship in last place has now cleared the second check point. Two ships have currently
6196dropped out due to engine trouble. Lets hope no other ships...
6197
6198Guard: Where do you think Gene might be with the Outlaw Star?
6199
6200Fred: I have no idea, but this pathetic broadcast is barely covering the pirate ships.
6201
6202Announcer: The third check point is the Leon Lagrange point, which is 140 kilometers from
6203Heiphong 5.
6204
6205// On Aisha's ship...
6206
6207Pilot: Lady Aisha, we'll be reaching the third chekpoint in just a moment.
6208
6209Aisha: What is that out there?
6210
6211Pilot: They say that a long time ago a satellite in orbit around Heiphong 5 had been destroyed
6212by something and all the debree from the destruction had been collected there.
6213
6214Aisha: Reduce speed immediately.
6215
6216Pilot: Like I really need to be told that.
6217
6218// The El Dorado flies by them.
6219
6220Leo: Its all yours Harry.
6221
6222Harry: Well we could never gain any time without me at the helm, Leo.
6223
6224// Meanwhile...
6225
6226Aisha: Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm... Hmm?
6227
6228Pilot: Is there something you'd like to share with us Lady Aisha?
6229
6230Aisha: I'm looking for a place to set up an ambush.
6231
6232Both: Huh? Set up an ambush?
6233
6234Aisha: Prepare for battle!
6235
6236Both: Prepare for battle?
6237
6238Aisha: Battle systems get ready, we will now launch a sneak attack on the Outlaw Star!
6239
6240Pilot: Attack with a single machine gun?
6241
6242Aisha: A single machine gun?! Hmph, what about your guriguri missiles or a gagaga cannon?
6243
6244Pilot: We are not equipped with anything like that.
6245
6246Aisha: And you call this an imperial ship?
6247
6248Pilot: What are you saying, the Noburi Nueiro is just for trading with Heiphong. I don't know
6249what kind of orders you've been given from the empire, Lady Aisha, but this ship can't
6250make an attack!
6251
6252Aisha: I can't believe this. Alright then, its time for a clever scheme from Aisha!
6253
6254// Meanwhile, the Outlaw Star approaches another checkpoint.
6255
6256Jim: There it is!
6257
6258Gilliam: Ether density is climbing and is surging irregularly.
6259
6260Melfina: Subspace radar error has increased to 24% and effective radius for standard radar is
6261also down 30%.
6262
6263Gilliam: We'll have to forgo instruments and rely on our eyes.
6264
6265Gene: Now you're about to see how good I can really be.
6266
6267Jim: C'mon Gene, slow down!
6268
6269Gene: Yeah, sure I will.
6270
6271Melfina: Current speed is 12 kilometers per second.
6272
6273Gilliam: It is clear for the next 180 kilometers. But I do see some big asteroids after that.
6274
6275Gene: Whats the shortest route to the checkpoint?
6276
6277Melfina: Please change course to one o'clock low.
6278
6279Gene: Roger that.
6280
6281Jim: Thats it.
6282
6283Gene: Let's do it!
6284
6285// They go through the checkpoint.
6286
6287Jim: We have cleared the checkpoint.
6288
6289Gene: Yeah, way to go. All we have to do now is get the heck outta here. Huh?
6290
6291// They get a transmition.
6292
6293Pilot: May day, may day. This is the Noburi Nueiro. I've collided with an asteroid. I've abandoned
6294ship due to risk of explosion. Request assistance, request assistance!
6295
6296Gilliam: Its an emergency rescue transmition. I've pinpointed his position. I'll put it up on the
6297screen.
6298
6299Jim: Gene, what do you think we should do? I know the course marshall will come by soon and they'll
6300be sure to take care of him.
6301
6302Gene: Ah... Lets help the poor guy out.
6303
6304Jim: Gene, what are you pulling, thats not like you.
6305
6306Gene: Believe me, its not fun to be stranded out in space. Its a feeling I try not to remember.
6307
6308// The ship stops and Gene prepares to go out.
6309
6310Jim: Do you see him Gene?
6311
6312Gene: Yeah. Uh... Uh...
6313
6314Jim: Hey, whats wrong?
6315
6316Gene: I'm jut a little dizzy.
6317
6318Melfina: Will you be okay?
6319
6320Gene: Yeah, I think I can handle it.
6321
6322// He goes out and gets the stranded person, who is in their suit. They go inside the ship.
6323
6324Gene: Okay now, you'll be fine.
6325
6326Gilliam: Pressurization complete.
6327
6328Gene: Are you the only crew member, or are the others still out there?
6329
6330// The guy removes the helmet... it's Aisha!
6331
6332Aisha: You wont' get away from me this time, you sucker!
6333
6334Gene: Ah! What are you doing here?
6335
6336Aisha: (laughs)
6337
6338--------------
6339
6340Eyecatch
6341
6342--------------
6343
6344Aisha: Do you mean to tell me after all this time the ones who have the key to the Galactic Leyline
6345are those MacDougal guys?
6346
6347Gene: They sure have a lot more information on it than I do that much I can tell ya.
6348
6349Aisha: Do you really expect me to believe you know absolutely nothing about the Galactic Leyline?
6350
6351Gene: If we did, we would have gone there a long time ago. Look, when we find something we'll be
6352sure to tell you now get off the ship and go bug someone else.
6353
6354Aisha: No way, I can't! There's no way I can go back to the empire like this! I can't go back,
6355they treat me like I'm useless! You're the only lead I have, you understand me? Until I
6356get my hands on what I want, I'm not going anywhere!
6357
6358Jim: Gene, what are you gonna do with her?
6359
6360Gene: Being popular with the girls ain't easy.
6361
6362Jim: Thats not what I meant.
6363
6364Aisha: I've never seen a ship like this before, its way behind any Ctarl Ctarl ship, it won't
6365move unless you're wet! Heh heh, thats very funny, don't you say?
6366
6367Gilliam: How dare you talk about the galaxy's fastest, most advancedship like that.
6368
6369Aisha: Huh? What the heck is that thing?
6370
6371Gilliam: I am not a thing. I would appreciate if you called me Gilliam.
6372
6373Aisha: What the... its a computer? Wow.
6374
6375Gene: Enough of this, lets get back to racing. My plan to catch up with the El Dorado sure went
6376up in smoke, its becoming useless. Oh great, the cat girl shows up and everything goes out
6377of whack.
6378
6379Jim: If we don't finish third or better, we're gonna be in debt even deeper.
6380
6381Melfina: Now preparing for Sub Ether drive. Please handle course corrections.
6382
6383Gene: Alright, roger.
6384
6385Melfina: Estimated time to Sub Ether penetration 24 minutes.
6386
6387Aisha: Meow.
6388
6389Gene: I can't see!
6390
6391// Later...
6392
6393Aisha: Yawn. All of this travel has worn me out, I'm gonna take a little at nap right here.
6394Wake me up when we get there, okay?
6395
6396Gene: Yeah, sure whatever.
6397
6398Jim: Uh...
6399
6400// Later...
6401
6402Melfina: Now switching over to Sub Ether Drive. Manchausin Drive Reactor output regular and
6403climbing. Ether output thresholds reached.
6404
6405Jim: Course laid in, relative coordinates verified.
6406
6407Melfina: Now forming Sub Ether bubble.
6408
6409// An alarm goes off.
6410
6411Aisha: Quiet down, will ya?
6412
6413Gilliam: Objects are closing in from rearward. There's an 87% probability they are missiles.
6414
6415Jim: I don't get it, I didn't think anybody was after us.
6416
6417Gene: We'll just intercept them, thats all.
6418
6419Melfina: We can't, we're transforming to Sub Ether mode.
6420
6421Gene: Just great. How long till we go to Sub Ether?
6422
6423Melfina: 18 seconds.
6424
6425Gilliam: Missiles will impact in 16 seconds.
6426
6427Gene: I'll shake them off.
6428
6429Aisha: Whats going on?
6430
6431Melfina: Preparations for jump to light speed now complete. Sub Ether penetration in 8... 7...
64326... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0...
6433
6434Jim: We're gonna make it. Ah!
6435
6436// The missiles hit them as they go into light speed.
6437
6438// On the El Dorado...
6439
6440Terry: Man Harry, that was really awesome.
6441
6442Leo: Heh, they went to Sub Ether while they were being hit by gravity waves.
6443
6444Harry: Too bad, they'll probably disintegrate. Okay, we can prepare to go to Sub Ether now.
6445
6446Leo: Hey Harry, what was the big deal with that ship anyway?
6447
6448Harry: As far as my brother and I are concerned, it was just an eyesore.
6449
6450// Meanwhile, the Outlaw Star goes crazy.
6451
6452Jim: Ah!
6453
6454Gene: Erh...
6455
6456Gilliam: There is no way to determine which direction we're going.
6457
6458Gene: Sub Ether drive, emergency abort!
6459
6460Melfina: The Manchausin Reactor is out of control!
6461
6462Aisha: What the heck is going on?
6463
6464Gilliam: Stress on the ship is climbing. Now exceeding any power.
6465
6466Gene: Thats it! I'm cutting all engine systems!
6467
6468// He shuts the ship off, stopping it.
6469
6470All: Yaaah!
6471
6472Aisha: Meow. Hey, c'mon, wake up will ya?
6473
6474Gene: Uh... is everyone okay? Melfina?
6475
6476Melfina: Yes, I'm fine.
6477
6478Gilliam: We are currently operating on auxiliary power so there's no information regarding whats
6479outside. Please restart the ship.
6480
6481Gene: Unbelievable... life goes on and on. Its too much.
6482
6483// He restarts the ship.
6484
6485Gilliam: Testing. Testing.
6486
6487Aisha: Where the heck are we anyway?
6488
6489
6490
6491Gilliam: It would be accurate to say we have safely returned to normal space. Fortunately, we
6492don't appear to be too far away from the Heiphong system. I will try to calculate our
6493position.
6494
6495Aisha: This ship is a lot tougher than I thought.
6496
6497Gilliam: I believe I already mentioned it. I am the fastest, most advanced ship in the galaxy.
6498
6499Aisha: Hm.
6500
6501Gene: Know where we are?
6502
6503Gilliam: Yes, Gene. We are slightly outside the orbit of Heiphong 5. About 360 million kilometers
6504above its orbital plane.
6505
6506Jim: How long has it been since we jumped?
6507
6508Gilliam: Ship's clock says its been 2 minutes 24 seconds since Sub Ether entry.
6509
6510Gene: Bring us up to date Gilliam, whats the status report?
6511
6512Gilliam: Life support, all communications and all sensors show normal.
6513
6514Melfina: Irregularities confirmed in the ether drive system. Newton Reactors 1 and 3 are inoperatable.
6515
6516Jim: Ah!
6517
6518Gene: Alright then, activate Newton Reactors 2 and 4. And lay in a stable course to checkpoint 4.
6519
6520Gilliam: I perceive that you want to continue the race.
6521
6522Gene: You think I'd give up when we can still move under our own power? The Sub Ether drive still
6523works, right?
6524
6525Melfina: Yes, but 2 reactors are at 50 percent output, thats not enough for Sub Ether entry, we
6526are working under a lower level of propulsion.
6527
6528Gene: How many hours to checkpoint 4 just using the Ether drive?
6529
6530Gilliam: The distance is 600 million kilometers. At 50 percent propulsion, it would take 96 hours.
6531
6532Jim: The race would already be over...
6533
6534Aisha: What's the deal, you've given up? Someone just blasted you with a couple of missiles and
6535you're just gonna sit there and cry, the ship's busted, we're stuck! What're we gonna do?
6536We don't stand a chance, we're all doomed! Oh no, we're really doomed, we've failed, I'll
6537never make it . To a Ctarl Ctarl this attitude is all wrong. A Ctarl Ctarl never accepts
6538defeat, to a Ctarl Ctarl its all about justice, courage, and tenacity...
6539
6540Jim: Doesn't she know by now we're not Ctarl Ctarl?
6541
6542Aisha: It takes guts to go swimming in the Ether sea...
6543
6544Gene: Wait, ether? Gilliam, can you tell me where that ether stream is forming?
6545
6546Gilliam: Oh my, lets take a look. Ah, here it is. The stream runs from Heiphong 5 to Heiphong 1.
6547I've located it.
6548
6549Gene: Aisha, sit down.
6550
6551Aisha: Don't tell me what to do... Ah!
6552
6553Jim: Now what are you planning to do?
6554
6555Gene: I don't care is we win or lose, but I've got an idea, I think it can work its at least
6556worth trying.
6557
6558Jim: You don't mean what I think you mean...
6559
6560Gene: Jim, you know any normal ship would be history if it went into an Ether stream. That is,
6561any normal ship.
6562
6563Gilliam: I say this is no ordinary ship.
6564
6565Gene: Thats it exactly. I noticed something surprising when I saw the operating manual. This ship
6566can make it out of an ether stream with no problem. Which means, we're gonna take this
6567baby...
6568
6569Jim: I don't wanna hear it!
6570
6571Gene: And ride that ether stream all the way.
6572
6573Aisha: Heh, let's go!
6574
6575// They do...
6576
6577Melfina: We have made contact and have now switched to Grappler combat mode.
6578
6579Gene: Have faith in me guys, enjoy the ride, you're in good hands. I can handle this, I can do it!
6580
6581Jim: How do you know?
6582
6583Gene: I don't!
6584
6585Jim: I knew it.
6586
6587Gene: Thats okay, there's a first time for everything!
6588
6589// Using parachutes on the grappler arms, the ship is pulled along the wave.
6590
6591Gene: (How bad?) is the best practice.
6592
6593Aisha: Heeyah! Lets get that missile guy!
6594
6595// The El Dorado heads through the checkpoint.
6596
6597Race Official: You have just passed checkpoint 4, El Dorado.
6598
6599Harry: What's our standing?
6600
6601Race Official: According to our checkpoint data, as the standings read you are currently in 4th
6602place.
6603
6604Leo: So now it all depends on which ships are headed for Heiphong 1, is that right?
6605
6606Race Official: However, we have recently been notified that there is an ether stream that is
6607in the surrounding areas of Heiphong 1.
6608
6609Harry: So finishing in above 4th place is a sure thing. But why is my heart pounding like this?
6610
6611// Elsewhere...
6612
6613Tech Guy: What, where did they come from?
6614
6615Tech Guy 2: It looks like they're riding the ether stream.
6616
6617Tech Guy: By accident?
6618
6619Tech Guy 2: No, it look

6624Script- Episode 12
6625Mortal Combat With the El Dorado
6626
6627
6628
6629
6630
6631Narrator: They kill as well if it will make them some money that is. Pirates? Outlaws? Space
6632Force flunkies? No, they're none of those. But they'll take jobs from anyone. Right,
6633if it will make them some money. At any rate, they're like Hyenas that are valued by
6634all the powers. They're dangerous if you get to close to them. And good. If they weren't,
6635somebody would have stopped them a long time ago. They are more powerful than other
6636people's hatred of them. Everyone in the Underworld know the name: The MacDougal
6637Brothers. But no one knows what the MacDougal Brothers are really like. They're
6638careful, bold, cunning and will do anything for money. They're dependable, tough,
6639ruthless. Everyone who knows anything more than the rumors has dissappeared. All at the
6640hands of the MacDougal Brothers.
6641
6642// The Outlaw Star heads through an asteroid cluttered area.
6643
6644Melfina: Distance to Leon Lagrandge point 30000 kilometers.
6645
6646Gene: Jim, do you see any sign of the El Dorado?
6647
6648Jim: Nope, still nothing. But, the magnetic storm seems to be affecting the sensors just a little.
6649
6650Gilliam: According to the findings of the latest meteorlogical data, it appears solar flares are
6651still active. This magnetic storm will probably last a while.
6652
6653Gene: Good. This means they're in the same situation. And now its pay back time, El Dorado.
6654

6656
6657Mortal Combat With the El Dorado
6658
6659---------------------
6660
6661// Flashback to earlier...
6662
6663Gene: What did you say? What do you mean the El Dorado has dropped out!? Huh?
6664
6665Official: You're asking the wrong guy.
6666
6667Gene: Where did he go, tell me!
6668
6669Official: Well sir, thats just it, we have a comm cube with your name on it. It was sent directly
6670from the El Dorado.
6671
6672Gene: What? Sent to me?
6673
6674// Back to the present...
6675
6676Melfina: Distance to Lagrandge point 10000.
6677
6678Gilliam: Still no sign of the enemy.
6679
6680Jim: Gene, wouldn't he be inside the asteroid field by now?
6681
6682Gene: More than likely, but I don't want to go in there yet until I'm absolutely certain. I'm
6683slowing us down.
6684
6685// Flashback to when they checked out the comm cube.
6686
6687Harry: I'm fed up with that so called luck of yours, you're wasting my time. Come over to the
6688Leon Lagrandge point, I wanna finish this. Make it within 50 hours. If you get there
6689before me, I'll tell you whatever you want to know.
6690
6691Jim: What do you think?
6692
6693Gene: I guess that he's challenging us to a duel.
6694
6695// Back to the present.
6696
6697Gilliam: Oh my. Collected interplanetary material. Sudden ether current interface. Magnetic
6698storms, horrible conditions.
6699
6700Jim: It doesn't look like the radar, CFS, or subspace radar are gonna be of any use to us in this
6701region.
6702
6703Gene: So we'll just have to rely on our eyes, thats all.
6704
6705Aisha: Then leave it to me, cause I got the eyes.
6706
6707Gene: Yeah, I hear that the Ctarl Ctarl have got the best eyes around.
6708
6709// Flashback again...
6710
6711
6712
6713Gene: Just give me one good reason why we have to bring you along.
6714
6715Aisha: You're the ones who ruined my chance at moving up in the world. Hmph. You're gonna make up
6716for it. I have to find the Galactic Leyline and you're gonna help me do it now.
6717
6718Gene: Okay, but there is something I've been wanting to ask you. Exactly what in the heck is the
6719Galactic Leyline?
6720
6721Aisha: You don't even know that?
6722
6723Gene: Hilda didn't exactly divulge information.
6724
6725Aisha: Well listen closely. At the Galactic Leyline there's an incredible treasure.
6726
6727Jim: Treasure, like what, some kind of precious metal?
6728
6729Aisha: That or some storehouse of dragonite. In other words, the empire's intelligence bureau
6730estimates that its value is capable of buying an entire solar system!
6731
6732Jim: Wow, incredibly cool.
6733
6734Gene: However cool it is, its just a thing. From just the little bit of information I have heard,
6735I wouldn't go as far as to call it some incredible treasure.
6736
6737Aisha: What would you call it?
6738
6739Gene: A gate? I don't know, I hear that its some kind of gateway.
6740
6741Aisha: Then thats it, that gateway is probably made out of Dragonite. That would make sense to
6742me.
6743
6744Gene: Anyhow, there's absolutely no way we can take you with us. This is our own duel, okay?
6745
6746Aisha: Uh... Uh... Uh... If these MacDougal Brothers know something about the Galactic Leyline
6747then I'm definately coming along with you guys. Understand what I've said to you?
6748
6749// Back to the present...
6750
6751Aisha: Hmm... I don't see a sign of them.
6752
6753Jim: Maybe its a trap?
6754
6755Gene: Of course its a trap, what do you think? They want to destroy this ship. That is, the ship
6756called the XGP.
6757
6758// We now have yet another flashback. As they leave the dock, a strange glassed man approaches
6759them.
6760
6761Gwen: One moment. A moment please, gentlemen.
6762
6763
6764
6765Gene: Huh? You mean us?
6766
6767Gwen: Yes, thats right, I'm addressing you. How did you come into possession of that ship? Hmm.
6768Hmm. That ship.
6769
6770Gene: So, who are you?
6771
6772Gwen: Hm hm hm. I'm Gwen Khan. Yes, I'm Gwen. I am a race official. Of this race. Hm Hm Hm Hm.
6773Thats what I am, an official.
6774
6775Gene: And what exactly makes you so interested in our ship, Mr. Official?
6776
6777Gwen: I'm interested, yes interested, yes I am. Its a high performance ship made by an unknown
6778manufacturer. Yes, its a high performance ship it truly is.
6779
6780Gene: Is that so?
6781
6782Jim: (grumbles)
6783
6784Gwen: C'mon now, tell, do tell, how did you come by that ship, I must know. That is the mystery.
6785Yes, that is the mystery.
6786
6787Gene: Hmm... We found it.
6788
6789Gwen: Found it? Hm, you found it. Is that possible? No. How odd. You found it.
6790
6791Gene: Yep, it was abandoned, and without an owner. So I guess that means it's our ship now. Is
6792that a problem?
6793
6794Gwen: A problem? A problem? Let's see... I suppose there isn't. No, no problem at all.
6795
6796Gene: Good. Alright then. You'll have to excuse us cause we're in a hurry.
6797
6798Gwen: Gentlemen. Aren't you guys going to read?
6799
6800Gene: Huh?
6801
6802Gwen: Hah hah, its nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing, nothing.
6803
6804// Back to the present.
6805
6806Aisha: (yawn) I'm just so bored.
6807
6808Jim: What was the deal with that old man Khan?
6809
6810Gene: I don't know.
6811
6812Jim: By the way Gene, are we just gonna keep circling this asteroid forever?
6813
6814Gene: Ah... we can't find our dance partners so what choice do we have? Hey, maybe I'll just slow
6815a little bit.
6816
6817Melfina: All sytems show green.
6818
6819Gene: Green is good. Now what about Newton Reactors 1 and 3?
6820
6821Melfina: Functioning normally.
6822
6823Gilliam: Well yes of course. Although it may have been a rush job, the repairs have been completed.
6824
6825Gene: Gee, your superiority once again saves the day.
6826
6827Gilliam: Your praise flatters me Gene. One moment.
6828
6829Gene: Now what?
6830
6831Gilliam: Detecting missiles, closing in from 9 o clock high.
6832
6833Gene: Missiles? With no warning?
6834
6835// They shoot the missiles down.
6836
6837Jim: Enemy ship spotted ahead.
6838
6839Harry: This will be a one on one duel. That isn't a problem, is it?
6840
6841Gene: Now, now, this isn't exactly fair. Its pretty obvious that you intend to destroy us. But
6842there's just a few things we'd like to ask before you're destroyed.
6843
6844Harry: Don't you know you don't stand a chance?
6845
6846Gene: Well thats quite the plan. We're in your backyard so we have the disadvantage.
6847
6848Harry: In that case I'll give you a guarantee. Listen, I don't come over to the Heipong area very
6849often.
6850
6851Gene: Oh really? So where's your usual stomping ground?
6852
6853Harry: Ah... just around. Heh.
6854
6855
6856
6857// Ends communication.
6858
6859Aisha: Errh... shoot.
6860
6861Jim: Now what are we gonna do?
6862
6863Gene: Accept the challenge, what do you think? Gilliam, launch the camera. It'll be our scout.
6864
6865// Gilliam does so.
6866
6867Gilliam: Be aware the conditions are even worse inside the asteroid field. Sending it in too far
6868would appear to be useless.
6869
6870Gene: Then you might say that his traps wouldn't stand a chance in there either, would they?
6871
6872Jim: There's no sign of the enemy ship at all!
6873
6874Gene: Hey Aisha, I want you to watch our backs, you got it?
6875
6876Aisha: Just leave it to me!
6877
6878Gene: Aw... darn it all. Why did he pick a place like this for a duel? What kind of trick is he
6879trying to pull?
6880
6881Melfina: Missiles detected. They're directly below us.
6882
6883Gene: You're gonna pay!
6884
6885// They dodge the missiles.
6886
6887Jim: Looks like he's got himself some accurate missiles. This guy's not foolin around.
6888
6889Gene: Now I get it, so thats why he has us stuck out here. If we can make this a close quarters
6890fight, he's all ours.
6891
6892// They see him.
6893
6894Jim: There he is! You sucker!
6895
6896// They miss, as the El Dorado goes behind an asteroid.
6897
6898Gene: You won't get away! Huh? Where'd he go?
6899
6900Aisha: They're on our back!
6901
6902Gene: What did you say?
6903
6904// Missiles fly at them.
6905
6906Gene: Erh... that loser!
6907
6908// The Missiles miss.
6909
6910Gene: Tell me something Gilliam. Is his ship more manueverable than the Outlaw Star is?
6911
6912Gilliam: This ship utilizes the most advanced navigation system in the galaxy. Its impossible
6913that my manueverability is inferior to a ship of the same class.
6914
6915Gene: You don't say. Well this guy has no idea.
6916
6917Melfina: Missiles closing in 10 o clock high.
6918
6919// They shoot them down.
6920
6921Jim: Man, just come at us dead on already!
6922
6923Gene: Yeah, the MacDougal Brothers definately have some interesting tactics. They sure like to
6924sneak around.
6925
6926Aisha: What? Starboard ft, some more missiles approaching!
6927
6928Gilliam: At four o clock high.
6929
6930Gene: No, what do you mean? He snuck up behind us already?
6931
6932Jim: There's no way we can shake off the ones on the right.
6933
6934Gene: Then I'll swat em down!
6935
6936// Gene starts Grappler Combat Mode and shoots them down.
6937
6938Gene: (breathes heavy) I'm gonna have to go all out against this guy.
6939
6940-------------
6941
6942Eyecatch
6943
6944-------------
6945
6946Gene: (breathes heavy)
6947
6948// An alarm goes off.
6949
6950Gilliam: Incoming missiles. 5 o clock high.
6951
6952Melfina: Missiles coming in front 3 o clock high, count 5.
6953
6954// Gene shoots them down.
6955
6956Gene: Erh.
6957
6958// One of the missiles hits the ship.
6959
6960All: Ah!!!
6961
6962Jim: Gene, if this keeps up, we're history!
6963
6964Gene: Don't worry, he'll be out of missiles soon. Thats when the finals start.
6965
6966Aisha: Stop fooling around you bird brains! Blast your way in there and smash him to a pulp!
6967You can't let him do this to you anymore!
6968
6969Gene: Shut up Aisha, if I could I would.
6970
6971Aisha: Erh...! Don't tell me to shut up, you!
6972
6973Gene: I said to shut up, so shut up!
6974
6975Aisha: You shut up!
6976
6977Melfina: Gilliam, isn't it getting a little to hot on the bridge?
6978
6979Gilliam: I'm sorry about that Melfina. I'll lower it 2 degrees at once.
6980
6981Jim: 10 o clock high, more of them!
6982
6983Gene: Ah! Got it!
6984
6985// He gets them.
6986
6987Gene: Where's the El Dorado?
6988
6989Gilliam: I've seem to have lost it.
6990
6991Gene: C'mon Gilliam, what are you doing?
6992
6993Jim: Why don't we launch the cameras and position them all around us?
6994
6995Gilliam: Our effective signal range in these conditions is about 100 kilometers. It is unlikely
6996that we will receive any useful visuals.
6997
6998Aisha: Listen to me, plow through those guys, crush them into pieces, and stop fooling around!
6999
7000Gene: I told you to shut up Aisha!
7001
7002Aisha: Right, like I'm gonna shut up.
7003
7004Gene: Look, if you don't shut up, I'm throwing you outside!
7005
7006Aisha: Why you! Erh... meow?
7007
7008Gene: Throw her out, wait... not thats it, just like in the old days when they had a look out that
7009would give them a signal. Like some kind of strong light or something. Aisha, I need you
7010to do me a favor that can only be done by a strong Ctarl Ctarl.
7011
7012Aisha: Huh? What made you change?
7013
7014Gene: I need to throw you off the ship, okay?
7015
7016Aisha: meow...
7017
7018Gene: Well, the odds aren't really that great really, but I think, well lets just say its a
7019better plan then keeping all of this going.
7020
7021Aisha: meow...
7022
7023// On the El Dorado...
7024
7025Leo: By about now they should be sweating bullets.
7026
7027Harry: You're probably right, huh?
7028
7029// They get a transmition.
7030
7031Terry: Hey Harry, we gonna finish them off?
7032
7033Harry: Nah, I'm gonna play with them a little more. How many missiles are left?
7034
7035Terry: We have 24 percent remaining.
7036
7037Harry: (laughs) See, we have plenty left. Lets sneak behind them. Make sure that they don't find
7038out there's another ship.
7039
7040// Suddenly, the ship is shot at.
7041
7042Leo: Ah, no...
7043
7044Aisha: There they are! There they are! I found them!
7045
7046Harry: Oh no, I think we've been spotted!
7047
7048Leo: Imposible!
7049
7050Terry: Ship coming in. Its the Outlaw Star!
7051
7052Gene: Yeah, now you guys are mine.
7053
7054Harry: You think I'm going down that easily?
7055
7056// The El Dorado's grappler arms come out.
7057
7058Gene: I didn't know they had grappler arms!
7059
7060Harry: You thought the El Dorado was just another ordinary cruiser, didn't ya?
7061
7062// They fight.
7063
7064Harry: Hah hah! Gotcha!
7065
7066Gene: Erh...
7067
7068// Harry pounds on the ship with the grappler arms.
7069
7070All: Erh...
7071
7072Harry: Die! Die! Die! Die! You die!
7073
7074Gene: Blast you!
7075
7076// He smashes the Outlaw Star into the El Dorado.
7077
7078Gene: Take over, Jim.
7079
7080Jim: But why?
7081
7082Gene: Cause I'm going over there to meet them.
7083
7084// Gene heads into the ship.
7085
7086Gene: Uh...
7087
7088Leo: This is the El Dorado! We've been caught by the enemy!
7089
7090Harry: Stop that.
7091
7092Leo: Huh?
7093
7094Harry: If its come to that, don't worry, I'll settle it.
7095
7096// Gene heads through the hall and is attacked by Leo in a mechanical suit, Gene uses knock out
7097gas and shoots him.
7098
7099Gene: Now tell me, where is MacDougal?
7100
7101// He points to where to go. Gene heads there.
7102
7103Gene: Huh?
7104
7105Harry: So tell me, what do you wanna know?
7106
7107// Harry is hacking into the Outlaw Star with a wire on his neck.
7108
7109Gilliam: Oh no. Warning. Warning.
7110
7111Jim: What is it, Gilliam?
7112
7113Gilliam: Someone is trying to hack into me. And the source is unavailable. Engaging emergency
7114protection. Now I must say goodnight.
7115
7116Jim: Gilliam!
7117
7118Melfina: Ah! Ah!
7119
7120Jim: What is it?
7121
7122Melfina: Stop it, stay away!
7123
7124// Meanwhile...
7125
7126Gene: So, you're MacDougal, aren't you?
7127
7128Harry: Harry MacDougal. Although thats the first time I've been given my name to an enemy.
7129
7130Gene: I'm only gonna ask you this once. Why did the Kai Pirates want the XGP?
7131
7132Harry: It was their ship in the first place, isn't that right?
7133
7134Gene: Why did you want to have the XGP destroyed?
7135
7136Harry: Hah, I don't ask my employers for reasons.
7137
7138Gene: Oh yeah? Who's your employer?
7139
7140Harry: Well now... Heh heh.
7141
7142Harry: (thinking) I see. So this is the ship's main computer!
7143
7144Gene: Hey!
7145
7146Harry: Oh, I've never met him before. He just came to us with a job offer, thats all.
7147
7148Gene: Tell me about the XGP, whats the whole story behind it?
7149
7150Harry: I don't really know anything about it. Hm. Well, the pirates did say something about being
7151involved with the Galactic Leyline.
7152
7153Gene: What did they say about it?
7154
7155Harry: (thinking) Hah hah! I'm gonna trash this thing in one mine.
7156
7157Harry: (laughs) I don't believe this!
7158
7159Gene: Huh? What are you doing?
7160
7161Harry: (laughs)
7162
7163Gene: Erh...
7164
7165// Gene shoots him.
7166
7167Harry: My arm! I can't believe it, you got my arm!
7168
7169Gilliam: The access seems to have been cut off.
7170
7171Gene: What does the XGP have to do with the Galactic Leyline? Huh?
7172
7173Harry: I don't know. I don't know.
7174
7175Gene: Alright then, tell me this. What did you destroy my father's ship 6 years ago.
7176
7177Harry: I don't know. 6 years ago I was only 12 years old.
7178
7179Gene: Hey, you're a MacDougal. Come to think of it, where is your brother?
7180
7181Jim: Gene, we've got a problem. There's another one. Another El Dorado.
7182
7183Gene: How can that be?
7184
7185// Harry escapes.
7186
7187Jim: Get back here now!
7188
7189Gene: What do you know, the brother.
7190
7191// Meanwhile...
7192
7193Ron: Harry, whats the matter, what happened? C'mon, answer me now, Harry.
7194
7195// On the El Dorado...
7196
7197Harry: I'll blow them to smithereens. I'll blow them to smithereens. I'll blow them to smithereens!
7198
7199// They escape in a dropship.
7200
7201Gilliam: Well that finally solves the mystery. They didn't fly circles around us because they
7202were more manueverable, there was another ship.
7203
7204Jim: This is no time for analysis. Gene! I'm pulling out the assault bolt!
7205
7206Gene: Turns out that other guy is the real MacDougal.
7207
7208Jim: What do you mean real?
7209
7210Gene: Its his older brother. You're not getting away.
7211
7212// The El Dorado blows up.
7213
7214Jim: Uh...
7215
7216Gene: Ah, darn it!
7217
7218// The follow the other ship, but it shoots a missile at an asteroid, blowing it up and blocking
7219their view.
7220
7221Gilliam: We're in danger. Please take evasive measures.
7222
7223// On the other ship...
7224
7225Harry: Oh man, you're hurting me Ron! Stop! Ow, my arm, my arm, my arm!
7226
7227Ron: Calm down Harry, calm down. If you're a MacDougal man, you don't get upset over a stupid
7228little scratch.
7229
7230Harry: Right, I'm so sorry brother.
7231
7232Ron: Hey, its alright. We're gonna do a whole lot worse to the guy who did this to you.
7233
7234Harry: Right, and I promise I won't back down like that again. That woman... That woman...
7235
7236// On the Outlaw Star...
7237
7238Jim: It's useles,, I'm not picking them up anywhere!
7239
7240Gilliam: Enemy ship lost.
7241
7242Jim: Okay, now what.
7243
7244Gene: Like we have much choice. We just go back to Heiphong and try again. Sorry about that
7245Melfina, it looks like I just lost us another lead.
7246
7247Melfina: Huh? Don't worry, its okay.
7248
7249Aisha: Hey! Isn't it about time you guys picked me up?
7250
7251Gene: Boy, I never thought I'd see the day when I had to apologize to Aisha.
7252
7253Jim: We could always just leave her out there.
7254
7255Gene: Nah, then she'd come back and haunt me forever.
7256
7257Aisha: Okay everyone, I'm tired of this, you can come and get me!
7258
7259Melfina: Harry MacDougal... What was he...
7260
7261Aisha: I'm over here! Do you see me? I'm over here!

7269Advanced Guard From Another World
7270
7271
7272
7273
7274
7275// At Starwind and Hawking Enterprises...
7276
7277// The phone rings.
7278
7279Gene: Hello. This is Starwind and Hawking Enterprises. Can we help you? Yes sir. Yes, we'd handle
7280interplanetary transport, but your ship's payload is kinda small. Whats the cargo? Uh...
7281that would be a problem. I'm sorry. Yeah, please call again sir.
7282
7283Jim: What did he say?
7284
7285Gene: He asked if we could hawl some huge construction equipment in the Outlaw Star, but c'mon,
7286there's no way we can handle that.
7287
7288Jim: Hmm... uh... there's gotta be something out there, some job for us to do. I posted some
7289really good ads on the net, but the responses aren't even worth mentioning.
7290
7291Gene: Yeah, forget it, the only thing that those jobs are worth is chump change.
7292
7293Jim: Gene, we have to get a job no matter how rotten it is. Our wallet is in bad shape, I don't
7294know if we can be so picky.
7295
7296Gilliam: Space port parking fees are ridicoulously expensive.
7297
7298Gene: I know, the parking is practically on the street and it still costs too much.
7299
7300Gilliam: It can't be helped. In the big city like this, we were lucky to even find a spot.
7301
7302Jim: Ah, thanks a lot Melfina.
7303
7304Melfina: Don't mention it. You still haven't been able to find any work, Jim?
7305
7306Jim: If Gene wasnt' so picky, we might have some.
7307
7308Gene: C'mon, if you don't turn any profit, whats the point?
7309
7310// The doorbell rings.
7311
7312Gene: Hey, maybe its a customer! How can we help...
7313
7314Aisha: How's business doing, everyone?
7315
7316Gene: Oh... it's only you. Okay, I guess.
7317
7318Jim: Yeah, we've got nothing. Hmph.
7319
7320Aisha: (laughs) I knew that. But there's no problem, you don't have to worry about a thing. Thats
7321why you find me standing here, I came to offer you two a job.
7322
7323Gene: Oh yeah? Well, what is it?
7324
7325Aisha: Well, they tell me that in the downtown area by the Heiphong Spaceport there's a ferocias
7326animal that happens to be in the sewers. Rumor has it its a runaway pet or something.
7327Anyway, the job is to exterminateit as soon as possible.
7328
7329// Nobody pays attention.
7330
7331Aisha: Erh... What is wrong with you, did you hear anything I said?
7332
7333Gene: I heard you. You expect us to go in the sewer.
7334
7335Jim: This job smells fishy, Aisha.
7336
7337Aisha: What do you mean? It was posted by the Heiphong Municipal Waterworks Department so its
7338legit.
7339
7340Gene: Yeah, but how much does it pay?
7341
7342Aisha: 500 wong.
7343
7344Jim and Gene: Huh. Mmm Hmm. Erh.
7345
7346// They throw her out.
7347
7348Aisha: Ah! Whats the big idea? Fine, if thats the way you guys want it, I'll just do the job
7349myself and you'll by sorry. Eh. When people can't accept a little kindness gracefully, its
7350gonna be all over for humanity.
7351
7352Gene: Can you believe it, give me a break, what was she thinking?
7353
7354Jim: It sounds like a 500 wong job.
7355
7356Gene: Hey Gilliam, what about you, have you heard of any good work?
7357
7358Gilliam: I'm sorry Gene, but I haven't.
7359
7360// They get a call on the computer.
7361
7362Jim: Who's that? Hey look Gene, it could be a job offer.
7363
7364Fred: Hi there Jim, hows business been going?
7365
7366Jim: Oh hi Fred, How ya doing? Uh yeah, how are ya?
7367
7368Gene: Uh...
7369
7370Jim: If this is about the money we owe ya, we can't pay you back yet.
7371
7372Fred: I figured that much so I thought I'd tell you about a job thats come up. Actually, a
7373business associate of mine has gotten into some odd trouble.
7374
7375Jim: Uh... What kind?
7376
7377Fred: Well, he brought some cargo over from the Sylgreen system. But when he arrived here on
7378Heiphong, the cargo had suddenly dissappeared and he asked me to you two to look into it.
7379
7380Gene: Uh... Why doesn't he just let the cops handle it?
7381
7382Fred: Thats totally out of the question. Its just shy of smuggling.
7383
7384Gene: Like weapons?
7385
7386Fred: Its a new species of insect.
7387
7388Gene: Sorry Fred. This is not our kind of job.
7389
7390Jim: Just hold on Gene. How much does the job pay Fred?
7391
7392Fred: 700 wong up front, plus 2000 if the cargo is returned safely.
7393
7394Jim: Let's take it, c'mon.
7395
7396Gene: Another chump job like that, forget it. I'm not interested.
7397
7398Jim: Fine, I'll take it, who do I see and where do I go?
7399
7400Fred: Great, he's a Sylgreen. He'll be on deck 8 of the spaceport right by yours. I'll go ahead
7401and tell him you're coming.
7402
7403Gene: Uh, I can't believe you're working for Fred.
7404
7405Jim: Gene, we cannot afford to be picky.
7406
7407Gene: Hey, a much bigger job will be coming soon, don't worry.
7408
7409Melfina: Jim, do you want me to come along with you?
7410
7411Jim: Sure Melfina, that'll be great.
7412
7413Gene: What!? I gotta stick around here all by myself?
7414
7415Gilliam: I'm still here Gene.
7416
7417Gene: And what am I supposed to do with you huh?
7418
7419Jim: That big job's coming right? Keep an eye out for it.
7420
7421Gene: Hah! You see, you're gonna regret it.
7422
7423Gilliam: See you later Jim.
7424
7425// They leave. The phone rings.
7426
7427Gene: Well, there you have it, that was quick.
7428
7429Gene: Hello, Starwind and Hawking Enterprises.
7430
7431Ice Cream Vender: You're ad says that you'll solve any problems, is that really true?
7432
7433Gene: Thats true. So what exactly is it we can help you with?
7434
7435Ice Cream Vender: Well there's something funny about the ice cream vender next door.
7436
7437Gene: Uh what... did you say ice cream?
7438
7439Ice Cream Vender: He's gotta be breaking some kind of law! How else could he be making such a
7440killing by a case like that? Thanks to him, my business is in the toilet. There's
7441something about ice cream thats not normal.
7442
7443Gene: Erh...
7444
7445// He hangs up.
7446
7447Gilliam: You didn't even ask him what he would pay.
7448
7449Gene: I'm not an investigator. Huh? Hmm.
7450
7451// Gene gets on the phone.
7452
7453Gene: Hello. Remember me? Yeah, its Gene.
7454
7455Gilliam: Gene, did you think of a good job?
7456
7457// Gene knocks Gilliam over.
7458
7459Gilliam: Uh. What was that for?
7460
7461Gene: Yeah. Thats right, I promised you I would, didn't I? So, listen I was wondering if we
7462could go out for dinner or something.
7463
7464Gilliam: And to think I called that man indebted.
7465
7466Sylgreen: Hmm... I really don't know what to make of this. It happened 5 days ago. I had a break
7467after I landed and I figured I'd get down to business when I noticed that the container
7468was empty, just like you see here. If something isn't done, I'm gonna take the bath on
7469this one.
7470
7471
7472
7473Jim: C'mon, honestly, what cargo did you have?
7474
7475Sylgreen: Alright, Fred recommended you two so I'll let you in on it confidentially speaking. It
7476was an extremely rare insect and plant.
7477
7478Jim: Well, did you ever think the insect could have run away?
7479
7480Sylgreen: By opening the container and the hatch on my ship? Hah, no thats simply impossible.
7481Even if that were the situation, what about the plant?
7482
7483Jim: Maybe the bug got hungry and ate it.
7484
7485Sylgreen: Also impossible. Its carnivorous. They were stolen! My crew and I have looked everywhere.
7486But as you can see, there's no sign of them. None!
7487
7488Melfina: Is it true that the police can't be of any help?
7489
7490Sylgreen: We can't go to the police, because we didn't apply for import entry for either the
7491insect or the plant. Now you don't need to worry about a thing, they don't carry any
7492harmful viruses or diseases you can catch, we've checked all that out right here on our
7493own. You do understand, its such a bother to go through all that red tape.
7494
7495Jim: Uh... I guess so.
7496
7497Sylgreen: Come to think of it... now that I look back on the situation, I can't imagine for the
7498life of me why I took such a giant risk.
7499
7500Jim: So what kind of bug and plant are they anyway?
7501
7502Sylgreen: I'll get the catalog I put together for the sale. The plant looks and feels like one
7503of those cactusy things that grows in the world where y'all are from.
7504
7505Jim: I guess he means a regular ol cactus.
7506
7507// In the mine...
7508
7509Superviser: My workers said they saw it right in here, thats what they said. The reports that I
7510heard claim that it was some big meat eating animal, but thats a little hard to believe.
7511
7512Aisha: You don't have to worry anymore, Aisha's here to handle it.
7513
7514Superviser: Yeah, there is no doubt about it, we were definately fortunate to get a Ctarl Ctarl
7515to handle this matter. Well, I'm gonna leave you now so you can do your work. Bye.
7516
7517Aisha: You can count on me! Alright monster, Aisha's coming, you better stay put and be a good
7518boy now. (laughs)
7519
7520// Jim and Melfina arrive home.
7521
7522Jim: We're back. Hey Gene... Its you.
7523
7524Suzuka: Welcome back. Hello there Jim.
7525
7526Jim: You the only one here? Where's Gene?
7527
7528Suzuka: I have no idea, he was already gone when I arrived.
7529
7530Jim: Hmm. I wonder. Maybe there was a big job that came in. So why are you here Suzuka?
7531
7532Suzuka: No particular reason, I just decided I would come by to see how business is coming along.
7533
7534Jim: Eh... we're coming along I guess. Well Melfina, I was just thinking I should do a little
7535digging in the pet market over there.
7536
7537Melfina: Thats a good idea Jim. Should I check the space port security section and see if anything
7538unusual happened 5 days ago?
7539
7540Jim: Yeah, that'd be great.
7541
7542Suzuka: You seem to be rather busy. So I'll be leaving now.
7543
7544Jim: Oh, okay, see you later.
7545
7546Suzuka: Please give Gene my regards, won't you?
7547
7548// Meanwhile, on the streets of Heiphong...
7549
7550Gene: Ah... Hey! Hi!
7551
7552Claire: Hi, I'm sorry, have you been waiting long?
7553
7554Gene: No, no problem, I just got here. So how you doing? Do you have any free time now?
7555
7556Claire: Well now that tha race is over, thats all I have. I still think thats amazing. A privateer
7557making 4th place in his first race.
7558
7559Gene: If we hadn't run into trouble we would have been first, but lets not talk about that now.
7560Why don't we go get some tea or something?
7561
7562Claire: Sure.
7563
7564Gene: To tell the truth, I still don't know Heiphong city very well. So what about you, do you
7565know of any good places around here?
7566
7567Claire: Yeah, Lets keep walking and I'll show you all around.
7568
7569Gene: Sounds great.
7570
7571Claire: So, what are you up to now?
7572
7573Gene: Well, we started our business again. Starwind and Hawking Enterprises. We sell solutions to
7574any kind of problem.
7575
7576Clarie: How's business going?
7577
7578Gene: Okay.
7579
7580Claire: Thats right, how could I forget, you finished 4th in the Heiphong Space Race, of course
7581you're doing well.
7582
7583Gene: Yeah right.
7584
7585Claire: Are you sure you can take time away to meet me?
7586
7587Gene: My seeing you is much more important than work. Huh?
7588
7589Claire: I just got this great idea, lets get some ice cream.
7590
7591Gene: Uh... ice cream?
7592
7593Claire: C'mon, right over there. I feel like having some all of a sudden. Isn't this funny. It
7594never used to be this popular, maybe they changed their recipe.
7595
7596Gene: It sounds great. For some reason, I feel like having some too.
7597
7598Claire: Oh good, I'll go buy you some then.
7599
7600Gene: Hey, let me get that.
7601
7602Claire: Fourth place winner. It's my treat.
7603
7604Gene: Uh... Hmm... What the...
7605
7606// He notices the ice cream vender who called him before, at a neighboring empty stand.
7607
7608Ice Cream Vender: Well there's something funny about the ice cream vender next door.
7609
7610Claire: Sorry, it took so long.
7611
7612Gene: Oh. Hey, thanks a lot. Hm. This ice cream seems pretty average.
7613
7614Claire: Yeah, I agree.
7615
7616Claire and Gene: Hmm.
7617
7618// A cactus is behind the ice cream counter.
7619
7620----------------
7621
7622Eyecatch
7623
7624----------------
7625
7626// Jim and Melfina are at a space port.
7627
7628Jim: Here?
7629
7630Melfina: Thats right. 5 days ago the fence around here was completely bent, but now it looks like
7631they've already fixed it.
7632
7633Jim: And the security systems?
7634
7635Melfina: They're equipped with both infa red detectors and metal detectors. But it appears as
7636though nothing has set them off.
7637
7638Jim: Yeah, I guess they could be set off by a measly old insect.
7639
7640Melfina: So maybe it didn't run away.
7641
7642Jim: Maybe. If its a whole meter long, maybe a bug that size would have a brain. And if thats
7643true, what are those?
7644
7645Melfina: They say they're the waste water drains for the space port, they're supposed to be
7646connected to the sewer.
7647
7648Jim: To the sewer? Wait a minute. Wasn't it Aisha who mentioned something about a sewer?
7649
7650// Meanwhile, Aisha's in the sewers.
7651
7652
7653
7654Aisha: I'm on my way, I'm on my way to get the monster! I'm on my way, to get the monster, to
7655get the monster.
7656
7657// She walks into some kind of spider web.
7658
7659Aisha: Ah! Hey, whats going on here? Whats the big idea? Uh.. Uh... Uh... What the heck is this
7660stuff? Nah nah nah nah nah yah...
7661
7662// Meanwhile, Jim's on the phone.
7663
7664Jim: Thats right. The job you have, to get the animal in the sewers.
7665
7666Supervisor: Oh sure, I've already put someone on that job.
7667
7668Jim: Tell me, was it a female Ctarl Ctarl?
7669
7670Supervisor: Oh, you know her?
7671
7672Jim: Listen, its really important I need you to tell me where she's looking and how its connected
7673to the sewer lines from the space port.
7674
7675// Meanwhile, back with Gene...
7676
7677Gene: Man, thats seems strange. I wonder why that ice cream man is selling so much more ice cream
7678than the other guy when his ice cream doesn't even taste that good.
7679
7680Claire: You do have a point.
7681
7682Gene: Oh well. Who cares, lets forget about it. Its not like ice cream is the only thing Heiphong
7683is famous for.
7684
7685Claire: Sure, there are plenty of other things to do here. You haven't done anything yet?
7686
7687Gene: Not yet. We entered the race right after we got there.
7688
7689Claire: Where did you live before that?
7690
7691Gene: Sentinel, in the middle of nowhere. Huh?
7692
7693// Jim calls him.
7694
7695Jim: Gene! Gene!
7696
7697Gene: Sorry, could you excuse me. Yeah, what do you want, could it wait?
7698
7699Jim: No, if we don't stop Aisha, you can kiss that 2000 wong goodbye.
7700
7701Gene: What the heck are you talking about?
7702
7703Jim: The ferocious animal he was talking about that she went to get in the sewers is the Sylgreen's
7704bug. Aisha's gonna rip it to pieces, I just know it.
7705
7706Gene: I don't understand a single word you're saying.
7707
7708// Meanwhile, Aisha growls at the bug.
7709
7710Aisha: Errh...
7711
7712Jim: I don't know what happened to the cactus plant, but I know one thing, we have to capture
7713that bug before Aisha does.
7714
7715Gene: Cactus plant?
7716
7717// Aisha roars again. Back to Gene.
7718
7719Gene: Cactus plant? The cactus plant.
7720
7721Jim: Gene, do youread me? Hey Gene!
7722
7723// The cactus emits a weird noise, freaking out everyone.
7724
7725All: Ah!
7726
7727// The bug comes out and Aisha attacks. Above...
7728
7729All: Ah!
7730
7731// Aisha and the bug go flying out of the sewer.
7732
7733Aisha: Rrrr....
7734
7735Gene: What the heck is that thing? Careful Claire, stand back.
7736
7737Claire: Okay.
7738
7739Aisha: Ah... Yah! Huh?
7740
7741// Gene shoots at the bug, almost hitting Aisha.
7742
7743Gene: Uh?
7744
7745Aisha: Gene? Whats the big idea?
7746
7747Gene: Oh. Hey, sorry. Whats that she's riding on? Ah! Its coming back!
7748
7749// He shoots but the cactus's signals cause him to hit a sign, which bounces off and almost gets
7750Aisha.
7751
7752Gene: What is that?
7753
7754Aisha: Gene, what the heck are you trying to do you bird brain? Are you trying to kill me?
7755
7756Gene: Heh no, of course not Aisha. You know, you're really beginning to bug me. You want some
7757more of me? Okay, you flea bag, try a little of this.
7758
7759Jim: Gene! Don't!
7760
7761Gene: Huh? Jim?
7762
7763Jim: If we can catch the thing its worth 2000 wong.
7764
7765Aisha: Its 500 for me if I stop it!
7766
7767Jim: You gotta catch it before she does!
7768
7769Aisha: I'm gonna stop it.
7770
7771Jim: 2000 wong!
7772
7773Aisha: I don't care, I'm gonna get it!
7774
7775Gene: Guys, stop it already, what the heck are you two talking about?
7776
7777Melfina: I've been sensing some high strange frequencey waves for sometime now. Like that one.
7778
7779Gene: High Frequency?
7780
7781Jim: Thats it!
7782
7783All: Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
7784
7785// Jim goes over and gets the cactus.
7786
7787Gene: Jim, where you going?
7788
7789Jim: I don't know.
7790
7791Gene: That cactus is doing this! Ah!
7792
7793// He starts shooting his gun.
7794
7795Aisha: What do you think you're doing?
7796
7797Gene: I have no idea!
7798
7799Jim: Now you're beginning to realize my true nature, not bad for a lower creature. I guess I'd
7800have to complement you.
7801
7802Gene: What is the deal? Why are you talking so weird?
7803
7804Jim: I'm telling you guys, its not me, my mouth is moving by itself.
7805
7806Gene and Melfina: Huh?
7807
7808Gene: Alriht, what in the heck are ya?
7809
7810Jim: Hah! You may call me great one. I am a higher life form capable of ruling the entire
7811universe. No matter what you do, you have absolutely no means of escaping my control. I
7812suggest you surrender .
7813
7814Gene: You cactus mutant, you were behind all of this! So what exactly is it that you plan to do?
7815Why are you selling ice cream, ruler of the universe?
7816
7817Jim: Thats simple, for observation and experimentation to see precisely how effective my control
7818is over you. And now my observation and experimentation is complete.
7819
7820Jim: Ah! Gene!
7821
7822Gene: Hey wait Jim! Gr...
7823
7824// The bug goes back in the sewer. Jim walks over there.
7825
7826Jim: My plant will now precede to stage 2.
7827
7828Jim: No way, help Gene!
7829
7830Gene: I'm trying darn it! Melfina?
7831
7832// She walks up to him.
7833
7834Jim: Halt I say, you lower animal. Halt I said! Halt where you are! Halt! Halt! Why curse you,
7835why doesn't my power work on you?
7836
7837Melfina: Stop doing horrible things to him!
7838
7839// She knocks the cactus over.
7840
7841Jim: Ah!
7842
7843Jim: What have you done, hurry pick me up!
7844
7845Aisha: Ah, ah.
7846
7847Melfina: What should I do now?
7848
7849Gene: Squash that thing.
7850
7851Melfina: Uh... you really wnat me to squash it?
7852
7853Jim: No, don't do it. If you squash it, we're gonna lose tons and tons of money.
7854
7855Melfina: Oh.
7856
7857Gene: Do it Melfina. Ignore whats he's saying, the cactus still has some control over him.
7858
7859Melfina: Oh yeah, right. I'm sorry Jim. I have to.
7860
7861Jim: C'mon, I'm begging you, don't do it!
7862
7863Jim: Stop it darn it, stop! I command you to stop!
7864
7865// She starts stepping on the cactus. It starts talking itself.
7866
7867Great One: No! I told you to stop! I belong to a higher species! What are you doing to me?! Stop!
7868Stop it, stop it I tell you! How dare you, how dare you! You stupid animal! Stop, stop
7869it! I shouldn't have to think! I insist you stop, please stop... stop it... Now I beg
7870you please... stop. Ah... please...
7871
7872Jim: Oop. Its all mashed up.
7873
7874Gene: It sure is. Now you're not gonna make me eat anymore of that crappy ice cream, are you?
7875
7876Jim: Why would you eat crappy ice cream?
7877
7878Aisha: Oh no, now what, I'm gonna go get that monster! I won't let the cops have all the glory!
7879
7880Gene: Oh great, what a mess. That Sylgreen is gonna take a fall and now we're not gonna see any
7881money out of it.
7882
7883Jim: Yeah, I guess.
7884
7885Gene: Well anyway, I'm amazed you could stand up to that thing's control the way you did, Melfina.
7886
7887Melfina: Don't you remember Gene, I'm not like normal people. Um. Huh?
7888
7889Gene: I know you're not and thats exactly what saved Jim.
7890
7891Jim: Yeah, he's right about that. Thanks a lot Melfina.
7892
7893Melfina: Sure.
7894
7895// Back at their place...
7896
7897Jim: Looks like that Sylgreen was under the great one's control when he brought it here. They say
7898it was a capsule that the Space Force found in deep space, and they have no knowledge of
7899there being any others.
7900
7901Gilliam: I see.
7902
7903Jim: After all we did, all we have to show for it is a lousy 700 wong deposit? What about you?
7904
7905Gene: Hm? Who, me?
7906
7907Jim: Yeah, you were there on the job too, weren't you?
7908
7909Gene: Uh... yeah, but you know what happened, all that ruckus blew the whole thing out the window.
7910Uh... if only... aw man. If it wasn't for that lousy ice cream and that stupid plant, it
7911would have been a perfect date!
7912
7913Gilliam: Oh really, you don't say?
7914
7915Gene: Would you just shut that can of yours and mind your own business for once?
7916
7917Suzuka: Good day.
7918
7919Gene and Jim: How can we help you? Oh.
7920
7921Gene: Oh, its you.
7922
7923Suzuka: I was just wondering how business is doing.
7924
7925Gene: Not bad.
7926
7927Jim: Its not doing at all. Hmph.
7928
7929Suzuka: I thought that might be the case, thats why I decided to come by and tell you about a job.
7930
7931Jim: What job?
7932
7933Suzuka: There's a theme park in the suburbs outside of Heiphong city and they're looking for
7934people to perform in a quick draw wild west show.
7935
7936Jim and Gene: Huh?

7941Script- Episode 14
7942Final Countdown
7943
7944
7945
7946
7947
7948Narrator: A thief once opined: A thief might steal, but that does not make him inhuman. Those
7949outlaws who are adrift and roaming the universe say, You may not have the urge to break
7950the law, but you are still bound to ignore it. The blind and self serving vanity of the
7951thief. The archaic and old fashioned code of the pirate. The vain, glorious and
7952narcistic pride of the outlaw. These may merely be white lies to delude themselves to
7953others that they may to some extent, be considered upright people. Whether fact or
7954fiction, the outlaws live by and follow a code they take pride in. On the other hand,
7955ruffians who live outside the law and follow no code at all cause some of the greatest
7956calamities.
7957
7958// On the Outlaw Star...
7959
7960Jim: Gene, are you sure you want to go through with this thing?
7961
7962Gene: Calm down. All I gotta do is just cut one of em, right?
7963
7964Jim: If you cut the dummy wire, it'll blow us to pieces!
7965
7966Melfina: So that means that we only stand a fifty fifty chance.
7967
7968Gene: Hey, trust me. You'd never guess it, but gambling's my specialty.
7969
7970Jim: Help me!

7977
7978// In space near a dock at Heiphong.
7979
7980Dock Guy: Dock 217 ready for entry.
7981
7982Dock Guy 2: Gorgeous Mitsuru, you're clear to come in around 7A12.
7983
7984Dock Guy 3: Number 382, hurry up with these preperations.
7985
7986Gene: Ah... This is killing me. I can't believe that I'm stuck up here sitting around with this
7987loser space tug boat job.
7988
7989Gilliam: I agree. This is no job for the galaxy's most advanced Grappler ship.
7990
7991// Aisha comes in on the screen.
7992
7993Aisha: Will you quit your whining! You just got a request to do a catch and release on an ad
7994ship. It's heading your way on course AC3, you're to haul it back to the space port now!
7995I mean you humans are always complaining about not having work, so now's your time to work
7996for your damn...
7997
7998Gene: C'mon Jim, will you close the channel already?
7999
8000// He does.
8001
8002Jim: You know what, if we help out with the station job, they'll give us discount parking planet
8003side. Now you can't beat that.
8004
8005Gilliam: Still, I don't understand how they could use the first place privateer of the space
8006race as a tug boat.
8007
8008Melfina: Speaking of which, it looks like the race has been good advertising.
8009
8010Gene: Well its making us a laughing stock. Darn it! Why is this area so crowded? Where is
8011everybody going?
8012
8013Jim: I hear there was a big time jewelry store on the station that was celebrating some kind of
8014renovation. Huh? Hey, thats it, thats the ad ship Aisha mentioned.
8015
8016// They arrive at the ship.
8017
8018Gene: Erh... Melfina, dispaly the rondevue course.
8019
8020Melfina: Sure. It's huge.
8021
8022Gene: Yeah, its too big. Sure, it'll get your attention, but it can't make sharp turns so getting
8023it into port is a big hassle.
8024
8025Jim: Like thats the reason why they need a tug boat. Now quit your yapping and lets get to work.
8026
8027Melfina: Now matching relative velocity.
8028
8029// They anchor on to the ship.
8030
8031Jim: Okay, locking complete.
8032
8033Gene: Alright, now begin decelleration and put us on a docking course.
8034
8035// The ship's screens switch to 'gotcha' and anchors shoot the Outlaw Star.
8036
8037Gene: Whats that? What do they mean by gotcha?
8038
8039Gilliam: Virus penetration in progress. Virus penetration in progress. Unable to purge, system
8040shutting down.
8041
8042// Gilliam shuts off, Melfina comes out of her tube
8043
8044Melfina: Uh...
8045
8046Jim: The virus seeped into the system right when those anchors locked on. Now Gilliam's completely shut down.
8047
8048// A message comes through.
8049
8050Message: Congradulations. You're a lucky winner. You've been selected to go on a tour of heaven.
8051
8052Gene: What the heck? Uh. Aisha... We're busy now, call us later.
8053
8054Crackerjack: Later doesn't exist for people who only have 5 hours left to live.
8055
8056
8057
8058Gene: What?! What the heck are ya?
8059
8060Crackerjack: Well now, lets see... You can call me Crackerjack for the time being.
8061
8062Gene: For the time being?
8063
8064Crackerjack: I suggest you remain calm. My name is the least of your problems at this moment. The
8065ad ship you're currently connected to happens to be loaded with a high yield bomb.
8066
8067Jim: Uh... a bomb?
8068
8069Crackerjack: If our demands aren't met, the ship has been set with an automatic detonator which
8070will blow itself up along with your ship. You only have 5 hours.
8071
8072Jim: Thats ridicoulous.
8073
8074
8075
8076Gene: So what are these demands of yours anyway?
8077
8078Crackerjack: Feast your eyes and listen.
8079
8080Crackerjack: I repeat. We, the People's Liberation Front demand the immediate removal of the
8081viceroy of Heiphong and any of his personal aides. He is nothing but a puppet of
8082the Tenpai Empire. We expect total independence granted to Heiphong.
8083
8084Gene: Independence...?
8085
8086Jim: No way.
8087
8088Crackerjack: ... end to colonial rule!
8089
8090Crackerjack: You heard them. If our commands are met unconditionally, you will be set free. Oh
8091right, I almost forgot. The bomb's extremely delicate. If you try and dismantle
8092it, it is programmed to detonate immediately. Please don't think of trying anything foolish. Do enjoy yourselves gentlemen.
8093
8094// The ad ship starts heading towards Heiphong.
8095
8096Gene: Oh c'mon, now what...
8097
8098Jim: Its gonna blow
8099
8100Gene: Darn it, he's changed our orbit. Mel, calculate our orbit.
8101
8102Melfina: Right.
8103
8104Gene: Okay, and Jim you put together a damage report.
8105
8106Jim: I'm on it.
8107
8108// On Heiphong...
8109
8110Reporter: The rage of the terrorist group, the People's Liberation Front, known to be highly
8111aggressive has currently hijacked a tug boat near the station and implores Heiphong be
8112granted its independence. We can only imagine how the Viceroy will respond to such
8113unheard of demands.
8114
8115Viceroy: Heiphong will never be independent. And we must never give in to terrorists, not while
8116we're out here on the fronteir.
8117
8118// At Starwind and Hawking Enterprises...
8119
8120Reporter: We now have confirmation on the registration of that captive tugboat.
8121
8122Aisha: Okay... so who are the morons?
8123
8124Reporter: It has been determined that the ship is the Outlaw Star. Her hostages are her captain
8125Gene Starwind...
8126
8127Aisha: Not Gene?!
8128
8129// Back on the ship...
8130
8131Jim: I've purged the virus, but the memory is pretty trashed so Gilliam is still offline. The
8132oxygen circulation is still working somehow, but the temperature regulator is shot. Weapons
8133and Navigation is pretty much gone of course. Attitude control is about all we can do at this point. And the air locks won't open either.
8134
8135Gene: So then we couldn't abandon ship as a last resort even if we wanted to. Well, is there
8136anything that does work?
8137
8138Jim: From what I see, the only things working are the grappler arms, it looks like their system
8139is linked directly to the cockpit.
8140
8141Gene: Ugh.
8142
8143Melfina: I've calculated our orbit. I'll put it on the screen. We're circling above
8144Heiphong 3's equator and loosing altitude.
8145
8146Jim: Blast, tht means even if the bomb doesn't go off in the 5 hours that they programmed it for.
8147
8148Gene: We'll carry the bomb right into the station when we hit it, won't we?
8149
8150// People start evacuating.
8151
8152Announcer: An evacuation order has been issued for the station. Will everyone remain calm and
8153evacuate the station.
8154
8155Lady: Wait, my jewels.
8156
8157Bank Guy: Getting out of here is much more important m'am, they're insured, you don't have to
8158worry.
8159
8160Lady: Oh my...
8161
8162Guy: Gorgeous Misturu lifting off.
8163
8164Guy 2: Get around to dish 28.
8165
8166// Meanwhile, in his hiding place...
8167
8168Crackerjack: Exactly according to plan.
8169
8170// He heads outside his room and gathers his pals.
8171
8172Crackerjack: (laughs) Commence operation!
8173
8174// Back to Aisha...
8175
8176Reporter: Spaceships are fleeing the station one after another. Calculations show...
8177
8178Aisha: Gene, whats happening up there, tell me!
8179
8180Gene: Shut up Aisha! Jim, end transmission.
8181
8182Aisha: Will you stop telling me to shut up!
8183
8184Suzuka: Don't you know that yelling at him won't solve anything?
8185
8186Aisha: So what do you suggest I do?
8187
8188Suzuka: Its very simple, I'll go ask the man who built the bomb how to stop it.
8189
8190Aisha: Huh?
8191
8192Suzuka: Asking the man behind it is the most certain way.
8193
8194Aisha: Huh? Hey wait, but I don't understand how you're gonna do that.
8195
8196// Meanwhile...
8197
8198Aide: I've got bad news Viceroy.
8199
8200Viceroy: What is it?
8201
8202Aide: The simulation of the bomb hitting the station predicts that the orbital elevator will
8203crash into the ground!
8204
8205Viceroy: What?!
8206
8207Aide 2: Viceroy, we must not endanger the planet.
8208
8209Viceroy: We have no choice, we'll have to blow it up with the hostages before it comes near the
8210station.
8211
8212Aide: But sir, thats what I, uh... Viceroy, I must tell you according to the terrorists, the ship
8213is loaded with large quantities of radioactive materials.
8214
8215Viceroy: Erh. Can't we do anything about it?
8216
8217// On Outlaw Star...
8218
8219Jim: Gene, are you really gonna do this?
8220
8221Gene: Do you have any other ideas? Huh?
8222
8223Jim: No, but its crazy to disarm a bomb with an amateur like you.
8224
8225Gene: Show some backbone. Mel, I need you to handle the scanning.
8226
8227Melfina: Right. Now beginning infa red scan.
8228
8229// Crackerjack and his pals head to the station. The Grappler arms come out on Outlaw Star.
8230
8231Gene: All we have to do is cut the power connected to the fuse. Its really no different than
8232cutting the cord to an ordinary spark plug, right?
8233
8234Jim: Yeah, but an engine doesn't explode when you happen to cut the wrong cord to a spark plug.
8235
8236Melfina: The infa red scan is now complete. I'll put it up on the screen.
8237
8238Gene: What?! There's nothing there, its mostly hollow.
8239
8240Jim: Because its camouflaged. Thats how they got it to pass inspection before it started the
8241port entry course.
8242
8243Gene: So we have no idea of telling whats inside unless we open this thing.
8244
8245// Elsewhere...
8246
8247Suzuka: What about the owner registration on the ad ship? Surely you have that.
8248
8249Guy: But we can only give that information to the police.
8250
8251Aisha: Quit stalling and tell us everything we wanna know.
8252
8253// On Outlaw Star...
8254
8255Gene: We have gotta take a look inside. We just gotta take that chance.
8256
8257Jim: Don't do it, Gene.
8258
8259Melfina: Its too dangerous.
8260
8261Gene: Is that it? Lets do it.
8262
8263Jim: Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga
8264
8265Gene: Huh? What the?
8266
8267// They open the hatch and a bomb goes off.
8268
8269Aisha and Suzuka: Huh?
8270
8271Suzuka: Gene?
8272
8273-----------
8274
8275Eyecatch
8276
8277-----------
8278
8279Melfina: I'm getting no response from the tip of the right grappler arm. Other than that, there
8280doesn't seem to be any serious damage.
8281
8282Gene: Ah man, that scared the heck outta me.
8283
8284Jim: Exactly, so lets forget the whole thing, huh?
8285
8286// A sound goes off.
8287
8288Gene: Jim quick, trace the signal. This is the Outlaw Star.
8289
8290Crackerjack: Didn't I tell you not to try anything stupid?
8291
8292Gene: Shut up! That was supposed to be some stupid bluff. I thought the whole thing was supposed
8293to blow us away.
8294
8295Crackerjack: Now now, that isn't very smart, is it? We'd lose everything if an idiot like you set it off before the Viceregal could give into our demands. If you try anything else
8296again, you won't get off with just a warning.
8297
8298Gene: I realize you're very proud of this bomb, but I'm still gonna have to try and destroy it.
8299
8300Melfina: You know, you shouldn't aggrivate terrorists.
8301
8302Crackerjack: (laughs) Thats a good one, you blunder into the most rudementary of traps and you
8303think you're capable of dismantling a bomb I personally made? Don't even try to
8304outsmart me, you little tugboat pilot.
8305
8306Gene: Well look who's talking, you're nothing but a useless mad bomber.
8307
8308Crackerjack: If you insist now I dare you. Give it your best shot, tugboat.
8309
8310Gene: That jerk likes to hear himself talk. Did you get a trace on him?
8311
8312Jim: Its hopeless. Normal radio waves don't have directivity. But wait, there was no lag time
8313so he's probably at least within 30000 kilometers or so.
8314
8315Gene: 30000 huh?
8316
8317Melfina: I'm not getting a signal from any spaceships within that radius. Looks like they've
8318evacuated.
8319
8320Gene: Are they on the surface?
8321
8322Jim: Are you nuts, you think they'd hang around on the surface when the orbital elevator might
8323come crashing down?
8324
8325Melfina: Where do you think they've all gone then?
8326
8327Gene: Jim, what do you think, can we send out a jamming signal?
8328
8329Jim: A jamming signal? Uh, well the comm system is working so I guess I can come up with something.
8330
8331Crackerjack: Huh? Oh, heh. Looks like tugboat has a brain after all.
8332
8333// Outlaw Star taps on parts of the ad ship.
8334
8335Melfina: There's a pitch change over here. This is the only section where the sound is different.
8336
8337Gene: Great, thats it Mel. Jim, can I use the torch gun?
8338
8339Jim: No, its hooked up to the power system. The buzz saw has internal batteries though you can
8340use that.
8341
8342Jim: Aru kan busanba Aru kan busanba Aru kan busanba.
8343
8344Gene: Bingo, thats it.
8345
8346Jim: Forget it, this is the real thing.
8347
8348Gene: Here goes...
8349
8350// They find a bomb inside.
8351
8352Gene: Wise guy why'd you have to do that?
8353
8354Melfina: That small tube like object appears to be a detonator. I can't determine whether the
8355explosives are directly inside or not.
8356
8357Jim: You see those 2 wires over there? One of them carries the signal to the detonator.
8358
8359Melfina: Then what do you suppose the other one's for.
8360
8361Gene: Hey, don't worry about it. I grew up watching tons of movies with bombs in them. The
8362instant the dummy wire is cut, it sets off a relay thats a signal to the real one. And
8363then boom.
8364
8365Jim: So what are you thinking of?
8366
8367Gene: Well, there's only one thing for me to do Jim.
8368
8369// The Grappler Arm takes the cutters out.
8370
8371Jim: Gene, are you sure you want to go through with this thing?
8372
8373Gene: Calm down. All I gotta do is just cut one of em, right?
8374
8375Jim: If you cut the dummy wire, it'll blow us to pieces!
8376
8377Melfina: So that means that we only stand a fifty fifty chance.
8378
8379Gene: Hey, trust me. You'd never guess it, but gambling's my specialty.
8380
8381Jim: Help me!
8382
8383Gene: The red, or the blue. With this much explosives, if I screw up we're all gonna be dead
8384anyway. Huh?
8385
8386Jim: (laughs)
8387
8388Gene: I can't believe it at a time like this you're laughing. C'mon Jim, you're better than that.
8389
8390Jim: Yeah, but when I'm really scared these things seem funny. And I can't seem to explain it.
8391I just know that I can't stop laughing. I know its crazy, huh?
8392
8393Melfina: It'll be okay, I know everything will work out.
8394
8395Jim: Well thanks Mel.
8396
8397Gene: So, what do you say we trust our luck now. Lets do it.
8398
8399// The message signal goes off.
8400
8401Gene: Huh? What is it? Didn't you send out a jamming signal?
8402
8403Jim: Its a directional laser transmission. And its coming from the station.
8404
8405Gene: The station? What do yo umean, someone still there?
8406
8407Aisha: What do you think you're doing?
8408
8409Gene: Aisha?
8410
8411Aisha: Its been hard to reach you, we couldn't get you on the radio.
8412
8413Gene: What the heck are you doing on the station?
8414
8415Aisha: I tracked the scent of the terrorists and it seems to have led me here.
8416
8417Gene: The scent?
8418
8419Suzuka: Thats not true. We tried to track down information on the ship's owner, but it was a
8420dummy so we found ourselves in a corner.
8421
8422Aisha: So we asked Fred Lowe and he gave us the information.
8423
8424Gene: Fred huh? I bet that really cost ya.
8425
8426Suzuka: Not at all. Actually, he was most cooperative when I told you it was to help you.
8427
8428Aisha: He even lent us a shuttle for free to get up here.
8429
8430Gene: So, what information did you get?
8431
8432Aisha: Well you see, according to Lowe, the ad ship registration is actually a fake that was
8433sold by pirates on the black market.
8434
8435Gene: Pirates?
8436
8437Aisha: Yeah.
8438
8439Suzuka: So, after that we had Lowe check and see who the pirates previously sold it to.
8440
8441Gene: Will yah just get on to the point? Who the heck he sell it to?
8442
8443Suzuka: The buyer was a lead man of a notorious group of robbers.
8444
8445// On Heiphong...
8446
8447Viceregal: I can't sacrifice the lives of everyone on Heiphong 3. The Viceregal of Heiphong
8448agrees to your demands. We recognize Heiphong's independence.
8449
8450Crackerjack: Perhaps you misunderstood me, what we're looking for here and demand is recognation
8451by the Tenpai Empire. Any decision made by the Viceregal is totally useless to us.
8452
8453Viceregal: What? Don't tell me at this point that you never hady any intention of...
8454
8455// They blow up a door and break into the bank. On Outlaw Star...
8456
8457Gene: What? This guy's not even a terrorist, he's just a simple thief?
8458
8459Melfina: I'm not sure I understand, why would robbers demand Heiphong's independence?
8460
8461Gene: I can't believe it, this whole bomb scare is a scam! It was all just a decoy so they could
8462empty out the station.
8463
8464Jim: But why Gene, I don't get it.
8465
8466// On the station, Crackerjack and the others break into the bank with all the jewels.
8467
8468Crackerjack: (laughs)
8469
8470Gene: I know exactly how you think now, Mr. Crackerjack. I bet this one is a dummy too, it'll
8471explode no matter which cord is cut.
8472
8473Melfina: Uh... if thats not it, where's the real detonator?
8474
8475Gene: I'm gonna take a look inside that hatch that blew up first. If my hunch is right, the
8476detonator is inside there.
8477
8478Jim: Oh, I get it. You would never check the same place again that you've already looked at.
8479
8480// They check it.
8481
8482Gene: Okay.
8483
8484Melfina: I heard a faint mechanical sound.
8485
8486Gene: Thats it alright, Jim can I still use the buzzsaw?
8487
8488Jim: Well, if you're just gonna cut a small hole, the batteries outta hold.
8489
8490Gene: Okay, this time we're gonna get this sucker.
8491
8492Melfina: But even if you find the real detonator in there, what will you do if you find two cords
8493again?
8494
8495Gene: This guy's really full of himself. He'd most likely think it below him to use the same
8496trap. But if he did, I'd rely on my intuition and my good luck.
8497
8498// On the station...
8499
8500Crackerjack: Alright, its time. Lets do it, huh? Who are you?
8501
8502Suzuka: I believe thats our line, Crackerjack. Robbery under the disguise of terrorism. Wow,
8503you must think you're very very clever.
8504
8505
8506
8507Crackerjack: Uh... how'd you figure it out?
8508
8509Aisha: I really can't stand idiots like you who think they can plan out every little thing.
8510
8511Crackerjack: Get them now!
8512
8513// Suzuka and Aisha beat up everyone.
8514
8515Suzuka: It looks like you're the only one left, Crackerjack.
8516
8517Crackerjack: Just tell me, what it is you two want and I'll catch you a deal. If you want part
8518of the take, how does half of it sound? You do realize that the ship with the bomb
8519is heading right for the station, we're almost out of time here!
8520
8521Suzuka: Oh yes, that.
8522
8523Aisha: Don't worry about it.
8524
8525Crackerjack: What, huh? Huh?
8526
8527// The Outlaw Star crashes right into the station.
8528
8529Crackerjack: Ah!
8530
8531// Gene jumps out of the ship.
8532
8533Crackerjack: Uh.
8534
8535Gene: Well, we finally get to meet, Crackerjack.
8536
8537Crackerjack: You? Thats impossible.
8538
8539Gene: Oh yeah, its possible. After we disarmed your bomb, we ditched it and came straight here
8540to pay you a visit.
8541
8542Crackerjack: You stupi

8548The Seven Emerge
8549
8550
8551
8552
8553
8554Narrator: Under the direct command of Hazanko, leader of the 108 stars, are the Anten Seven. A
8555feared group of assassins. Tobigiera. A master of disguise in the tools of killing. Hanmeo.
8556A prodigy in space combat with the use of cats. Iraga. A werewolf with miraculous life force.
8557Jukai. His abilities are shrouded in mystery. Hitoriga. A man advanced in the martial arts
8558much like the leader of the Anten Seven. Hamushi. A woman who captivates men purely by her
8559sex appeal. Shimi. A warrior who's skill is such that there is no one in the pirate guild who
8560hasn't heard of him. If someone were unfortunate enough to make an enemy of the Anten Seven,
8561and forced to fight them, I would say only this. Farewell, friend.
8562
8563Hitoriga: Lord Hazanko, the Anten Seven are now assembled.
8564
8565Hazanko: Hmm...
8566
8567Iraga: If we are the only ones capable of taking this guy out he must be pretty good.
8568
8569Jukai: Hazanko, would you prefer I deal with him?
8570
8571Hanmio: I wouldn't mind at all doing it myself.
8572
8573Tobigiera: Hitoriga, I've noticed the Anten Seven seems to be short one.
8574
8575Hitoriga: Yes, Lord Hazanko has anticipated this.
8576
8577Hazanko: I have sent out Shimi as the first assassin.
8578
8579Hamushi: Well done Lord Hazanko. Without a doubt knowing Shimi, he will certainly carry out your
8580orders.
8581
8582Jukai: Wait, this man may have stolen the XGP, but he is still a mere outlaw. Why are we
8583needed to kill likes of him?
8584
8585Hazanko: Gene Starwind is strong, but his power should be nothing compared to yours. However, I
8586do sense a powerful G line flowing towards him. As of now, its but a small sign, yet if we leave
8587it unchecked, I believe he will come to cast a dark shadow on the path we walk. I entrust you
8588with this very task for the Anten. We must seal Gene Starwind's fate.

8595
8596Jim: Gene, its not looking good, we're still in the red. We gotta earn some big bucks. Wake up
8597will ya, are you listening?! Gene!
8598
8599Gene: Ah... relax. I already know, I don't need you to keep on harping about it.
8600
8601// Aisha is playing a video game.
8602
8603Guy: I love you, I want you.
8604
8605Girl: Liar!
8606
8607Aisha: (laughs) Its so obvious that you're taking it all out on Jim cause you haven't gotten a
8608job offer.
8609
8610Gene: That darn game of your's is driving me crazy. Will ya turn it off?
8611
8612Aisha: Taking it out on me won't do you any good either. Why don't you just talk to yourself.
8613Uh... shut up. (laughs). Huh? Ah, darn the game's over, you made me lose, you idiot, its
8614all your fault Gene.
8615
8616Gene: Ah shut up.
8617
8618
8619
8620Melfina: I made some coffee.
8621
8622Jim: Oh, thanks.
8623
8624Aisha: Aisha's really really thirsty. I'll have some too.
8625
8626Jim: What are we gonna do now? We've always gotta have some plan in life.
8627
8628Aisha: If we could just solve the mystery of the Galactic Leyline, then we could all have the
8629treasure.
8630
8631Jim: Yeah, I wonder what that treasure is anyway.
8632
8633Melfina: Here you are.
8634
8635// Melfina brings Gene some coffee. He gives no response. There is noise outside.
8636
8637Gene: Huh?
8638
8639Jim: Hmm? Wonder who that is, maybe someone with a job offer?
8640
8641Gene: Ah... great. What do they want know?
8642
8643// They go outside where a man in a trenchcoat waits.
8644
8645Shimi: Gene Starwind?
8646
8647Gene: Yeah, thats right.
8648
8649Shimi: Nothing personal, but I'm here to kill you.
8650
8651
8652
8653Gene: Oh yeah? You a pirate?
8654
8655Shimi: And what if I am?
8656
8657Gene: I just like to know who I'm doing business with. Whats your name?
8658
8659Shimi: I'm called Shimi. I want to play a little game with you.
8660
8661Gene: Oh, a little game?
8662
8663Shimi: I challenge you to a duel. I'll wait for you on Monaque Hill tomorrow at noon. Bring
8664any weapon you can carry. If you refuse, I'll have to kill your little friends.
8665
8666Gene: Oh really? I don't think so.
8667
8668Melfina: Huh?
8669
8670Gene: You waltz up here, order me to come outside then you challenge me. Hm. Now I'm really
8671ticked off. Why don't we just finish it right here?
8672
8673// They draw, Shimi quickly gets Gene at gunpoint.
8674
8675Gene: Uh... You know, you're not bad for a little guy.
8676
8677Shimi: I always try to fight fair, no matter who I deal with.
8678
8679Gene: Thats interesting, you don't look like the honest type to me.
8680
8681Shimi: You've killed far too many of us. Now I must end it. I'll make a name for myself by
8682getting you.
8683
8684Gene: That suits me just fine. At least you'll be known for something.
8685
8686Shimi: You better believe it.
8687
8688// He puts his gun away.
8689
8690Shimi: You just got lucky today. But don't expect to be lucky tomorrow. I'm not like those
8691other careless punks.
8692
8693Gene: Oh, is that right, so who exactly are you then?
8694
8695Shimi: I'd rather keep that to myself. But, if you beat me tomorrow, then I'll tell you. If I'm
8696still alive.
8697
8698// He leaves.
8699
8700Jim: So Gene, are you gonna go?
8701
8702Gene: Oh yeah.
8703
8704// Later, Gene is playing the game.
8705
8706Guy: I love you, I want you, I need you!
8707
8708Girl: Liar!
8709
8710Guy: I really want you!
8711
8712Girl: Ah!
8713
8714
8715
8716Jim: Gene.
8717
8718Gene: Yeah, what do you want Jim?
8719
8720Jim: Don't you think you should be getting ready?
8721
8722Gene: For what?
8723
8724Jim: That duel!
8725
8726Gene: Exactly how do you expect me to get ready for a duel?
8727
8728Jim: You know.
8729
8730Gene: Hey, c'mon, don't worry yourself about it. You know justice will always prevail. Oh, here
8731you try.
8732
8733Jim: Are you sury you know what you're doing with this guy Gene?
8734
8735Gene: Yeah sure, whats to know. Right now I'm going out for a drink.
8736
8737Melfina: It'll be okay Jim, Gene's a tough guy.
8738
8739Jim: Mmm Hmm.
8740
8741Aisha: But to be perfectly honest, compared to a Ctarl, he's not really as tough.
8742
8743// Later, Gene is at a bar when a man near him laughs.
8744
8745Leilong: (laughs)
8746
8747Gene: Hey, what the heck's so funny, mister?
8748
8749Leilong: Forget it, I apologize. Looking at you sitting there like that, It sure reminds me of
8750myself when I was younger.
8751
8752Gene: Oh jeez, old people are always saying things like that.
8753
8754Leilong: Ah hey, c'mon, just listen for a moment. What do you say you and I have a little drink
8755together? We'll call ourselves representatives of humanity.
8756
8757Gene: Why now, no matter what it seems that every human on this planet wants to drink with me
8758tonight.
8759
8760Leilong: Maybe you should listen to what your elders have to say. Uh... um...
8761
8762Gene: My name's Gene Starwind.
8763
8764Leilong: I know when you're young you have to be a smart alec, even though you can't necessarily
8765back it up.
8766
8767Gene: You sure have a harsh way of looking at things, don't ya?
8768
8769Leilong: The name's Leilong. Nice to meet ya.
8770
8771// Meanwhile...
8772
8773Gilliam: All systems of the Outlaw Star are functioning normally.
8774
8775Jim: Well I guess he really didn't plan anything at all, I tell ya I don't know about this, does
8776that mean its gonna be a fair fight or what?
8777
8778Gilliam: Well Jim, perhaps they are afraid of my fool proof guard system.
8779
8780Jim: Must be nice, machines don't have any worries.
8781
8782Gilliam: Excuse me Jim, what did you mean by that?
8783
8784Jim: Let me see... For you to understand, I'd have to do a major upgrade on you.
8785
8786Gilliam: So, in other words you need money.
8787
8788Jim: We need money to service the ship. Lets face it, we were attacked by pirates. Why does
8789this keep happening to us?
8790
8791Aisha: Melfina, what are you doing, get over here I need your help.
8792
8793Melfina: Uh... coming.
8794
8795// A few minutes later, Aisha has cooked a bizarre stew.
8796
8797Aisha: This is a Ctarl Ctarl special. Getchee Double Stew. Huh? Where's Gene? Eat some of this
8798and you'll have the strength of 5 men.
8799
8800Jim: Uh... wait a minute... Is this safe for human beings to actually eat and still survive?
8801
8802Aisha: Of course. You pathetic human being. Getchee Double Stew has its origins dating back to
8803year one of the Ctarl Ctarl calender where it...
8804
8805// Back at the bar...
8806
8807Gene: What I've been trying to tell you is that one of us is gonna die tomorrow.
8808
8809Leilong: I suppose that you're right.
8810
8811Gene: So, listen, have you ever been in a duel?
8812
8813Leilong: Yeah sure, I've had a few.
8814
8815Gene: Heh heh, so you see, you lived through every one of them, didn't ya?
8816
8817Leilong: I'm not making any excuses, but lets just say at the time I had no choice, it was
8818something I had to do. In my own way I show respect for those who have died.
8819
8820Gene: Respect... respect... heh hm.
8821
8822Leilong: Thats right, and living means something to me. That why I'm still alive to talk about
8823it.
8824
8825Gene: Hmm. Well I know one thing, I sure as heck don't feel like losing. Not now.
8826
8827Leilong: Of course, thats what they've all said. Well now, I better call it a day.
8828
8829Gene: You're going already?
8830
8831Leilong: I have to watch how much I drink of this stuff. Take care of yourself.
8832
8833// That night, Gene lays on his bed.
8834
8835------------
8836
8837Eyecatch
8838
8839------------
8840
8841// Gene wakes up the next morning and goes downstairs to eat.
8842
8843Gene: That maybe the last egg I get a chance to eat.
8844
8845Jim: Cut it out, there's nothing funny about that.
8846
8847Aisha: Yeah, it's be better for all of us if you didn't lose, but if you happen to lose, don't
8848worry, I'll look after everything for ya.
8849
8850Gene: Will you get to work and make us some money?
8851
8852Aisha: Hah! Hah! Anyway, give it your best shot.
8853
8854Jim: Man, that lady's got no tact.
8855
8856Melfina: Good morning.
8857
8858Jim: Morning.
8859
8860Jim: Gene, lets beat this guy, even if it means fighting dirty.
8861
8862Gene: You got it, fun's just getting started.
8863
8864// Later, they arrive at the dueling place. Shimi waits there.
8865
8866Gene: Didn't think you'd get here early.
8867
8868Shimi: Its not polite to keep your guest waiting now, is it?
8869
8870Gene: I'll leave as soon as possible if you don't mind.
8871
8872Shimi: From this life?
8873
8874Gene: Lets do it.
8875
8876Shimi: Fine.
8877
8878// They draw and shoot each other at the same time. Both fall. Gene is the first to get up.
8879
8880Shimi: Uh... wait...
8881
8882Leilong : Just as I expected. Looks like I'm the only one who can take you on now.
8883
8884// Leilong stands nearby. He puts down his backpack and pulls out a machete.
8885
8886Gene: That you Leilong? You do have a real name, don't ya?
8887
8888Leilong: Leilong is my real name. My trade name is Shimi.
8889
8890Gene: So this guy was your flunkie, is that it?
8891
8892Leilong: He was more like a pupil really. He didn't have any talent so he failed, thats all it
8893amounts to.
8894
8895Gene: Oh yeah? What does this amount to?!
8896
8897// Jim shoots a bunch of missiles at Shimi, which are deflected by a light shield.
8898
8899Gene: Uh.
8900
8901// Gene hides behind a rock.
8902
8903Gene: Jim!
8904
8905Jim: That guy's shield is powerful. Use a caster.
8906
8907Gene: Man, use my trump card already?
8908
8909Jim: Are you hurt?
8910
8911Gene: The blast just grazed me, but the impact cracked a rib. Its slowing me down a little.
8912Okay, you sucker!
8913
8914// He shoots at him with his caster. That fails to go through the shield as well.
8915
8916Jim: Got him.
8917
8918Leilong: A caster huh? You have some very interesting toys.
8919
8920// Gene pulls out another gun and shoots again.
8921
8922Gene: Eat this!
8923
8924// It blast the shield again, blowing out the shield.
8925
8926Leilong: I didn't think it could take a direct hit, not from a caster without getting a little
8927damaged.
8928
8929Gene: What is this guy?
8930
8931// Leilong charges Gene and beats the crap out of him, knocking him to the ground.
8932
8933Leilong: This is the end of the line, Gene Starwind. Goodbye, Gene.
8934
8935// Jim reveals himself.
8936
8937Jim: Wait! Gene and I are a team. You fighting him without a handicap isn't fair at all!
8938
8939Melfina: And I think so too!
8940
8941Leilong: Melfina? Not you?
8942
8943Melfina: Gene's important to me, I will not let you kill him. You understand? You will not kill
8944him. If you're gonna take his life you'll have to go through me first.
8945
8946Leilong: Melfina, I couldn't possibly kill you. Anyone else who stands in my way, I will have to
8947kill them.
8948
8949Aisha: Hold it, hold it right there! I have to tell you that if you kill him, you'll be dealing
8950with Ctarl Ctarl trouble.
8951
8952Suzuka: I'll act as a second as well. Gene's life is currently in my keeping. I'd would
8953appreciate if you were not to take it. Otherwise, we can not be sure of the consequences
8954can we?
8955
8956Leilong: Well well, I see you are good friends. But you can't win, you must realize that.
8957
8958Aisha: I don't wanna hear that! Yaah!
8959
8960// Aisha rushes at him. Leilong pulls out a whip and blows her to smithereens.
8961
8962Aisha: Yah!
8963
8964Jim: Aisha! Maniac!
8965
8966// Leilong pulls out a dagger and stabs Jim.
8967
8968Jim: Yah! Uh.
8969
8970Melfina: No!!!
8971
8972Suzuka: You'll pay for that.
8973
8974Leilong: Hmph.
8975
8976// Suzuka charges Leilong, who dodges her and knocks her to the ground. He walks up behind her
8977and kills her as well.
8978
8979Gene: Suzuka!
8980
8981Leilong: I told you what would happen, didn't I? If I have to, I'll kill anyone who tries to
8982interfere.
8983
8984Gene: You son of a...
8985
8986Melfina: Gene!
8987
8988Leilong: Well it looks as if you can't move. That tends to make the challenge rather boring. So
8989then, what do you say to a one shot fight?
8990
8991// Leilong pulls out 2 guns and gives Gene one. They stand far from each other.
8992
8993Gene: Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.
8994
8995Leilong: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but a job's a job. Looks like we're ready. Let us
8996begin.
8997
8998// They shoot. Both fall to the ground.
8999
9000Melfina: Gene! Gene! Gene...
9001
9002Gene: Mmm..
9003
9004Melfina: Ah... Gene.
9005
9006Gene: Where did he go?
9007
9008Leilong: So I'm finished too. I'm dying because of a faulty gun. Talk about bad luck. You must
9009try to survive them. Must not let the Anten Seven prevail.
9010
9011Gene: What do you mean, the Anten Seven?
9012
9013Leilong: Now there are six of them after you.
9014
9015// Leilong dies.
9016
9017Gene: A dud gun... so my talent's just good luck. And everybody's dead, but still I have a price
9018to pay.
9019
9020Jim: You got that right, Gene Starwind.
9021
9022Gene and Melfina: Huh? Jim!
9023
9024Jim: Maybe this luck of yours isn't so bad after all.
9025
9026Suzuka: I agree. It seems as if I have to go back to training. After eating that Ctarl Ctarl
9027stew, my whole system's been thrown out of whack.
9028
9029Aisha: If I'm not mistaken Suzu, isn't that called shifting the blame?
9030
9031Suzuka: I would greatly appreciate if if you didn't call me Suzu.
9032
9033Aisha: Gene, you better not forget this, thats another one you owe me. Hurry up and solve the
9034mystery of the Galactic Leyline and hand over the treasure to me when you do!
9035
9036Gene: Why do you suppose she keeps saying things like that?
9037
9038Jim: Maybe cause the lady's got no tact.
9039
9040Jim: He didn't kill us, so maybe he was a good guy.
9041
9042Gene: Goodbye, Leilong.
9043
9044// Elsewhere...
9045
9046Hazanko: Blast you Shimi, you were worthless.
9047
9048Hitoriga: Please, leave it to us.
9049
9050Hazanko: Gene Starwind, now you have stirred my curiosity. I, Hazanko, want to meet you.
9051
9052// Elsewhere, Leilong pulls himself out of his grave and removes the bullet from his chest.
9053
9054Leilong: Blast it, he sure buried me deep enough. Seeing all those people made me start to get
9055some strange thoughts in my head. Maybe I'll have to just treat myself to becoming a
9056wandering outlaw too. Goodbye, Gene.

9080extremely rare substance in the vastness of space. An alchemical method of
9081synthesising it artificially has been researched ath this time, but has yet to be
9082perfected. As a non-renewable resourse, Dragonite is highly valued and is considered

9092
9093// At a seafood restaurant, Aisha is a waitress, holding a tray of lobster.
9094
9095Aisha: Aha! That sure smells good. Huh? Ah!
9096
9097Cook: Hey part timer! What are you doing standing around?! Take that to the table!
9098
9099Aisha: Yes sir.
9100
9101// She goes to the table where... Jim, Gene and Melfina sit!
9102
9103Aisha: Sorry for the wait... huh? Wah! You, you guys?! Wha wha wha?!
9104
9105Melfina: Uh... hi Aisha.
9106
9107Aisha: What the heck are you doing here? How can you be ordering this fancy food? And where'd
9108you get that kinda money?
9109
9110Gene: A customer's paying for it.
9111
9112Jim: We're just supposed to wait for him. This guy happens to be a very generous client. He says
9113we can have anything we wanted while we were just waiting around for him.
9114
9115Gene: This is great.
9116
9117Jim: Yeah, its rich but it doesn't have that yucky after taste that you usually get with this
9118kinda food. Huh?
9119
9120Melfina: Oh yes, he's right.
9121
9122Aisha: Errhhh...
9123
9124Melfina: If you want, you can have some of my lobster.
9125
9126Aisha: Ah! Don't mind if I do, thanks.
9127
9128Cook: Hey! Part timer! Stop messing around and get back in here!
9129
9130Aisha: Uh... yes sir.
9131
9132// The Old Man who is their client walks in.
9133
9134Gene: Hmm? Looks like our client finally showed up.
9135
9136Jim: Huh?
9137
9138// Later...
9139
9140Jim: So, what can we do for ya? On the phone you said you were looking for something so what
9141might that be? Hmm?
9142
9143Old Man: I'm looking for a treasure.
9144
9145Jim: Huh, wha?
9146
9147Gene: Did he say what I think he said?
9148
9149Old Man: Actually, we don't have to look far, I already know where it is. The ship with the
9150treasure went down in a certain planet. All I need for you is bring it back up for
9151me.
9152
9153
9154
9155Jim: Salvage operation? I'm sorry, but with our equipment I'm afraid that would be a little
9156difficult for us.
9157
9158Old Man: With a grappler ship it won't be a problem.
9159
9160Jim: Hmm?
9161
9162Old Man: I've already had a chance to see your ship at the space port. She's a perfect vessel.
9163
9164Gene: You know, Gilliam would sure be happy to hear that.
9165
9166Jim: But what do you need a Grappler ship for?
9167
9168Old Man: The enviroment on that planet is sorta special. A Grappler Ship would be best suited
9169for it.
9170
9171Gene: What do you mean by special?
9172
9173Old Man: I can't tell you anymore right now.
9174
9175Gene: Then what about the treasure?
9176
9177Old Man: Something worth at least 5 million wong.
9178
9179Jim: 5... 5 million?
9180
9181Gene: C'mon, Jules...
9182
9183Old Man: Hey, I told you I can't tell you anymore. It depends now on the answer you give me.
9184
9185Gene: Hmm...
9186
9187Jim: Uh... we'll just be a minute.
9188
9189// They go under the table.
9190
9191
9192
9193Jim: What should we do?
9194
9195Gene: There's something fishy about all this. You can tell that there's something going on by
9196just looking at that old geezer.
9197
9198Jim: Thats for sure. A treasure hunt with that old man running the show?
9199
9200Gene: I ordinarily wouldn't be interested in this thing but...
9201
9202Jim: Even if its only half of that, its still 2.5 We'd make a killing.
9203
9204Melfina: Uh... Um...
9205
9206Jim: But c'mon Gene, we're totally broke, we don't have much of a choice in the matter.
9207
9208Gene: Necessity's the mother of the invention. So what do you say, should we go for all or
9209nothing?
9210
9211Jim: I jut hope we get rich quick. You got a deal.
9212
9213// They get up.
9214
9215Jim: Sorry that took so long. Afte careful deliberations we've come to accept your job offer.
9216Starwind and Hawking Enterprises at your service.
9217
9218Melfina: Uh... Ummm.... Ummmm....
9219
9220Old Man: Just call me Old Man. Being called sir sounds like empty flattery. Call me gramps, or
9221old man, whichever you like.
9222
9223Jim: Wah... Uh...
9224
9225Old Man: I'm not the least bit surprised that you don't trust me. I have to admit, this story
9226is pretty fishy.
9227
9228Jim: Uh oh, well that, this...
9229
9230Old Man: (laughs) Its allright. Somebody with a one track mind who took the job right away would
9231never be able to handle it. But I also wouldn't team up with someone who doesn't have
9232the guts to go chasing after a dream. And you people pass.
9233
9234Gene: Uh. I'm honored then.
9235
9236Old Man: I like that look in your eye. Those are the eyes of an outlaw who'd go anywhere to
9237chase his dreams.
9238
9239// Suddenly, shots ring out.
9240
9241Gene: Erh...
9242
9243Jim: Huh?
9244
9245// A group of men come in.
9246
9247Guy: Alright come out of there, Old Man.
9248
9249Jim: Kinda looks as though the only thing they're after is that old man. Here.
9250
9251Gene: Hey, it doesn't matter to me, anyone who shoots in my direction is an enemy.
9252
9253Jim: Eh... its ridiculous.
9254
9255// Aisha tries to get some food, but it always gets shot.
9256
9257Aisha: Ah! Uh... no one wastes food in front of me and gets away with it! Ah!
9258
9259// She trashes the place. Everyone runs outside.
9260
9261Gene: When Aisha gets like that she's totally out of control.
9262
9263Jim: Well shooting your blaster off didn't help you know. Nyuh...
9264
9265Melfina: I wonder who those people were anyway.
9266
9267Old Man: Some of the people who are trying to stop me.
9268
9269Jim: Eh?
9270
9271All: Ah!
9272
9273Gene: When did you get here?
9274
9275Old Man: I didn't have the chance to tell you, but there are peole who are after information
9276about the treasure that have been trailing for some time now.
9277
9278All: Oh...
9279
9280Old Man: Well then, I suppose that makes my story real.
9281
9282All: Hmm?
9283
9284// Meanwhile, in the wreckage...
9285
9286Aisha: Hmm.. Hmm Hmm Hmm.
9287
9288Cook: Erh... What are you trying to do, put me out of business?!
9289
9290Aisha: Hmm...? Ah!
9291
9292Cook: (cries)
9293
9294Aisha: Uh...
9295
9296// The next day, at the space port...
9297
9298Old Man: You, the boy and the little lady are the crew? Just the three of you?
9299
9300Gene: Well sometimes we team up with two of the others when we need the help, but yeah, basically
9301we are the crew. But, I can handle most of the problems by myself.
9302
9303Old Man: Oh... thats really too bad. Physical strength's important on the last leg of the trip.
9304
9305Gene: Hmm?
9306
9307Aisha: Okay Gene Starwind, you're gonna pay for the damage to the restaurant, do you understand?
9308
9309Gene: Uh... Aisha, you're just in time. If its strength you want, this animal has got the
9310strength of ten.
9311
9312Aisha: Who are you calling an animal?!
9313
9314Jim: Establishing all navigational data.
9315
9316Melfina: Output of all engines is stable. We can launch.
9317
9318Gene: Okay, so where are we headed Old Man?
9319
9320Old Man: Heiphong 7. The water planet.
9321
9322Gene: Alright, lets go!!
9323
9324// They take off.
9325
9326Old Man: I've come back! I've finally come back again finally!
9327
9328Jim: Gramps, what do you mean when you say you've come back again?
9329
9330Old Man: I didn't want to say anything, but I've had my fill of coming back here many times
9331before. Over the past 30 years.
9332
9333Jim: What? Did you say last 30 years? Uh... whats this?
9334
9335Old Man: Our entry course to the water planet to supply you with the data.
9336
9337Jim: Alright, yes sir.
9338
9339// They enter the planet.
9340
9341Jim: Way cool, they don't call it the water planet for nothing, do they? Its more like we're in
9342water instead of gas.
9343
9344Gilliam: The pressure of the planet is compressing the gas into a liquid. Its like being in an
9345ocean of hydrogen.
9346
9347Old Man: Cut your engines now. Go to silent running.
9348
9349Jim: Why do you want to do that?
9350
9351Old Man: Do as I say!
9352
9353Gene: Mel, go ahead, set engines to waiting mode.
9354
9355Melfina: Understood. Now setting ether drive and sub ether drive system to waiting mode.
9356
9357Old Man: Now pitch it down 300 degrees.
9358
9359Jim: Roger that.
9360
9361Aisha: Hey, look at the fish!
9362
9363Jim: Wow, I can't believe there's fish in a place like this.
9364
9365Aisha: They look tasty.
9366
9367// A large creature shows up in front of them.
9368
9369Melfina: Ah!
9370
9371Aisha: Oh, oh my.
9372
9373Jim: Whats that? That thing is huge.
9374
9375Old Man: A demon.
9376
9377Jim: A demon?
9378
9379Old Man: The same demon that dwells in the water planet.
9380
9381Jim: What do you mean by demon?
9382
9383----------
9384
9385Eyecatch
9386
9387----------
9388
9389Old Man: About thirty years ago, a ship run by pirates had been brutally attacked by an outlaw
9390family when it crashed on the water planet and was left behind, along with a cargo of
9391fifteen tons of Dragonite.
9392
9393Jim: Fifteen tons of Dragonite?!
9394
9395Gilliam: That equals the state budget of the fronteir world for a total of 5 years.
9396
9397Old Man: Then the outlaws came after it. They chased right after that pirate ship as she sank
9398into the gas ocean. And when the pirate ship reached a sea of metallic hydrogen
9399invading the unknown territory, thats when those monsters appeared. The monsters that
9400floated up from the bottom of the sea and attacked the outlaw ships. Their claws
9401ripped through the armor plating and their fangs crushed through their hulls. The
9402monsters that slaughtered 12 of the family's ships in an instant were a pack of
9403primitive life forms that have made the water planet their home.
9404
9405Jim: Woah, wait a minute Gramps, that monster we saw was part of a pack?
9406
9407Old Man: The area the pirate ship went down in was somewhere near their colony. They have a
9408strong territorial instinct. Anything that invades their territory is attacked. Without
9409any mercy, outlaws, pirates, space forces, anyone seeking the treasure has been shredded
9410by their relentless claws and sent straight to the bottom. The water planet came to
9411be known as the place where the evil demon lives. Fear kept people from coming back,
9412they no longer searched for the treasure.
9413
9414Gene: But thats not true for you. After meeting with the demon 30 years ago, you're the only
9415one now who's chasing for the treasure.
9416
9417Jim: Huh, what are you talking about?
9418
9419Gene: I'm taking a guess that it was your family that attacked the pirate ship, am I right?
9420
9421Jim: Yeah?
9422
9423Old Man: I've lost many things in my lifetime. My eye, my leg of course, and my hand. My family
9424of course is irreplacable. They took them away from me. For 30 years I kept hunting,
9425the monster, the treasure, I won't stop until I get them!
9426
9427Gene: For revenge?
9428
9429Old Man: No, its the only way an outlaw lives. I have a dream to chase after. I have an enemy
9430to fight. So I will keep fighting as long as I can. I'll keep fighting as long as I'm
9431an outlaw.
9432
9433// An alarm goes off.
9434
9435Melfina: I see something ahead.
9436
9437Old Man: Thats the vessel!
9438
9439Gene: So you're telling me 15 tons of Dragonite are waiting inside of that thing?
9440
9441Jim: Uh... lets get out of here Gene! This place is crawling with monsters that can crush a
9442spaceship and chew us up like tiny morsels!
9443
9444Gene: You have a plan, right?
9445
9446Old Man: Of course.
9447
9448Jim: Tell me you're not gonna do it.
9449
9450Gene: Do you really think I'm gonna turn around and run with 15 tons of Dragonite out there?
9451We're gonna get the treasure thats been sitting here for 30 years and take it with us.
9452
9453Jim: Ah, c'mon Gene.
9454
9455Gene: Pull yourself together Jim. This is out big chance to make a quick fortune.
9456
9457Jim: I cannot believe this, okay fine.
9458
9459Gene: Okay Old Man, what do we do first?
9460
9461Old Man: Ready some decoys right away.
9462
9463Jim: Roger. Decoy loading complete.
9464
9465Old Man: Fire them straight at the pirate ship now.
9466
9467Aisha: Huh? They sound just like those fish we saw earlier.
9468
9469Jim: You mean to tell me tht you can hear that?
9470
9471Aisha: Of course I can!
9472
9473Old Man: Evade!
9474
9475Gene: Got it.
9476
9477Old Man: Go ahead, cut the wires, set engines to maximum.
9478
9479Gene: Eye eye sir.
9480
9481// The monsters leave.
9482
9483Gene: Alright, it worked.
9484
9485Jim: Hey, this is a lot easier than I thought.
9486
9487Old Man: Don't get cocky. We only have 10 minutes until they come back to their territory. That
9488should give us just enough time to board the ship so we can load up the treasure. Its
9489in the cargo hold.
9490
9491Jim: Right, I gotcha.
9492
9493// They head inside the ship.
9494
9495Gene: Careful old man, we wouldn't want you to have a heart attack or something.
9496
9497Old Man: You can rest assured, I'm not gonna stop til I get my hands on that treasure.
9498
9499// He tries to open the door and can't.
9500
9501Old Man: Blast, it won't open.
9502
9503Gene: Stand back.
9504
9505// He tries, and fails.
9506
9507Aisha: Okay then, its time for Aisha to get to work.
9508
9509// She opens the door. The Old Man pushes her aside and walks in.
9510
9511Aisha: And thats how I take care of that. Uh, hey whats the big idea? Hey you guys, I... Ah!
9512Wow, this is all dragonite!
9513
9514Old Man: Its been so long. The day has finally arrived. (laughs)
9515
9516Gene: Sorry Old Man, but we don't have time for this. You can be overcome with emotion after
9517we've loaded up the treasure.
9518
9519Jim: Oh ya, right.
9520
9521Melfina: Will they make it?
9522
9523Jim: All we can do now is hope that what the Old Man told us is true. Gene, you only have 3
9524minutes left.
9525
9526Gene: I gotcha Jim, this is the last of it.
9527
9528// The ship shakes.
9529
9530Gene: What the heck just happened?
9531
9532Jim: Its the monsters, they're back, they're everywhere. Wha?
9533
9534Gene: Is that what you told us?
9535
9536Old Man: I"m sorry, it looks like I miscalculated.
9537
9538Gene: You miscalculated?!
9539
9540Jim: What should we do Gene?
9541
9542Gene: Hang on Jim til we get back.
9543
9544Gilliam: My hull is being damaged. What are you doing Jim? Fight back with the grappler arms
9545before its too late.
9546
9547Jim: Calm down, okay? We can't use the grappler amrs until we've rescued Gene and all of the
9548others.
9549
9550Gilliam: Ugh...
9551
9552Gene: Alright Jim, we've got the treasure all loaded, you can pull is un now.
9553
9554Jim: Okay.
9555
9556// They attack the monsters with the grappler arms. Gene and the others make it to the bridge.
9557
9558Gene: Disengage waiting mode, get us out of here, full thrust.
9559
9560Melfina: Roger. Output of all engines is stable.
9561
9562Gene: Ugh... what the heck was that?
9563
9564Gilliam: Apparantly the laeft arm is waited down.
9565
9566Gene: Whats that?
9567
9568// A large monster holds down the ship.
9569
9570Gene: You thin you can take us? Man, that thing is powerful.
9571
9572Jim: yeah, and he's huge.
9573
9574Old Man: Thats the master. Aye, thats the one. The demon of all demons that took my life and
9575then smashed it to pieces. The demon king of the water planet.
9576
9577Jim: Demon king of the water planet?
9578
9579Gene: Melfina, fire off the engines immediately. Take it to full power and break free.
9580
9581// That is done the creature still holds on.
9582
9583Jim: Its not working, its using the pirate ship as leverage. Its clamped down too tight.
9584
9585Gene: The arms are not gonna hold. SHoot, if this keeps up, we're screwed. Ah, c'mon.
9586
9587Melfina: The cargo hatch is opening.
9588
9589Gene: Say what?!
9590
9591// The old man is heading out in a mini sub.
9592
9593Gene: Old man, what the heck do you think you're doing now?
9594
9595Old Man: Settling things with that villanous monster.
9596
9597Gene: Settling things? Don't be stupid. What do you think you can possibly accomplish in that
9598mini sub?
9599
9600Old Man: Thanks to you people I was able to fulfill my dreams in more ways than one. I spent
9601all my years as an outlaw chasing after this, a beautiful dream thats now come to life.
9602
9603Gene: Old Man...
9604
9605Old Man: All thats left now is him. He's right in front of me. And the outlaw honor says I have
9606to stop it.
9607
9608Gene: Old Man, don't. There's still time, don't do it, just lets go. Stop. Don't do it!
9609
9610Old Man: You must search for your own dream, young outlaw. And then fight for it. Fight to make
9611it all yours.
9612
9613Gene: C'mon, please don't do it.
9614
9615Old Man: Hmm...
9616
9617// He heads into the monster. They both blow up.
9618
9619Gene: Old Man!!!!!!
9620
9621// Days later...
9622
9623Aisha: We did it! We did it! We have a mountain of treasure!
9624
9625Jim: Oh...
9626
9627Aisha: Well, well, so how much did we make and whats my cut?
9628
9629Jim: Zero.
9630
9631Aisha: Huh? What do you mean zero?! With all that dragonite, you gotta be crazy. You trying to
9632pull one over on me?
9633
9634Jim: It may look like a lot, but its low density. On the black market it only comes to 1.8
9635million wong. Take a look for yourself, here's the fuel bill, the cost of fixing the
9636grappler arms, the cost of replacing the armor plating, and all this is the maitence of the
9637ship! Parking fees and rent for the office keep piling up. There's utilities, phones,
9638advertising, plus the incidentals and we're left with this.
9639
9640Aisha: (cries) Is it true!?
9641
9642// Later, at the restaurant, she does dishes.
9643
9644Aisha: Erh.... Why is this happening to me?!
9645
9646// Meanwhile, Gene puts the Old Man's cane on a cliff and throws the last piece of Dragonite into
9647the ocean.
9648

9658
9659
9660
9661
9662
9663// At their hideout, Harry throws darts at a picture of Gene with his new cyborg arm. Ron comes
9664in.
9665
9666Harry: What took so long Ron?
9667
9668Ron: I guess I kept you waiting a long time.
9669
9670
9671
9672Harry: I got fed up with all this waiting around and I was deciding if I should just leave
9673without you or not.
9674
9675Ron: Hmph. I finally finished lining up the job. We can take it now that we've got your new arm
9676conditioned.
9677
9678Harry: You mean...?
9679
9680Ron: Yeah, we're gonna pay them a visit and teach them once and for all what happens to people
9681who mess with the MacDougal Brothers.
9682
9683// Meanwhile...
9684
9685Melfina: Hey, I'm back.
9686
9687Jim: Hey there Mel.
9688
9689Gene: Hey, how much longer?
9690
9691Jim: Will you hold your horses Gene, I found this stupid piece of crap at the city's garbage
9692dump, okay?
9693
9694Melfina: Hey, what are you guys doing?
9695
9696Gene: We just got delivered some video mail from Clyde today.
9697
9698Melfina: Who's Clyde?
9699
9700Gene: You know, he's the owner of our favorite place, that neighborhood dive we took you to on
9701Sentinel 3. We sent him our address here and we just got a response.
9702
9703Jim: Its all ready Gene, I'm gonna play it.
9704
9705// He plays it.
9706
9707
9708
9709Clyde: Are you sure this thing is recording?
9710
9711Iris: Yeah, it's recording. Gene, Jim, how are you guys doing? What a surprise, we've been so
9712worried since that reufus at Virginia Space Port, but I never actually gave up hope.
9713
9714Clyde: Anyway, we're both glad you're okay.
9715
9716Iris: So I heard you set up shop in Heiphong, huh? Knowing you two, I bet you're making money
9717hand over fist.
9718
9719Jim and Gene: Huh?
9720
9721Clyde: If you're in Heiphong, you're in a really big city. There's no comparison between the
9722stale business here in a place like that.
9723
9724Iris: When you guys make it big, stop by and say hello we'll be waiting.
9725
9726Clyde: Well, you take care now. We'll send you another message soon.
9727
9728Gene: Hey, this is just like old times, isn't it?
9729
9730Jim: Yeah, but its only been a little over three months since we left.
9731
9732Gene: Man, what I wouldn't give for one of Clyde's spicy omelettes right know, you know?
9733
9734Jim: Mmm... I was just thinking about Iris's homemade custom pudding.
9735
9736Gene: Yeah...
9737
9738Jim: Oh well.
9739
9740// The phone rings.
9741
9742Jim: Hi, you've reached the famous Starwind and Hawking repair shop where we guarantee to fix
9743anything that can break down in your life from tractors to relationships.
9744
9745Ron: Is it true that you'll also take jobs that are considered by most to be a little dangerous?
9746
9747Jim: Heh, well sure, as long as its not against the law.
9748
9749Ron: Its not exactly illegal, but its possibly fatal.
9750
9751Jim: Huh? Hmm...
9752
9753Gene: Well then, it'll depend on the pay. Like for starters sir, could you give us your full
9754name?
9755
9756Ron: My name is irrelevant. I want to meet so I can talk to you in person.
9757
9758Gene: In that case, feel free to come on down to our office any time.
9759
9760Ron: No. I've chosen a neutral location. There's a restaurant called Helenism at Darian point.
9761We'll meet there.
9762
9763Gene: I think that you're just a little confused my friend. C'mon, you think we'd be so
9764incredibly stupid that we'd go down there on your terms without even discussing either
9765the job or the pay?
9766
9767Ron: You'll come. Believ me, it won't seem like a waste of time at all. I'd like to take a
9768moment to discuss with you the Galactic Leyline.
9769
9770Gene: Huh?
9771
9772Jim: Huh?
9773
9774Melfina: Huh?
9775
9776Gene: Where did you find out about that? How could you possibly get this number?! Who are you?
9777
9778Ron: I have a table for two for 5 o'clock. Only one of you will come into the restaurant. I'd
9779advise you to be completely unarmed. I'll be waiting.
9780
9781Gene: Hey, hold on there...
9782
9783// He hangs up.
9784
9785Gene: Were you able to trace it?
9786
9787Jim: Lets see, it was from a public phone somewhere on J street. But I can't tell who made the
9788call. Sorry.
9789
9790Gene: Well thats no surprise.
9791
9792Jim: Restaurant Hellinism. By car it'll take you somewhere around 40 minutes to get there. Woah,
9793Gene, it says here the typical dinners start at 820 wong!
9794
9795Gene: This has trap written all over it.
9796
9797Jim: Think its the pirates?
9798
9799Gene: Well sure its possible, but thats not exactly what my gut's telling me.
9800
9801Jim: Who then?
9802
9803Gene: It doesn't really matter. He mentioned The Galactic Leyline, so that means I have to go.
9804Get the car ready.
9805
9806Jim: Okay, you got it.
9807
9808Melfina: Gene, can I go?
9809
9810Gene: Keep an eye on things here.
9811
9812Melfina: But Gene, I want to know too... about the... Galactic Leyline...
9813
9814Gene: If the job's on the up and up, we'll tell you all about it when we get back. But if it
9815turns into a big mess, you'd be better off here.
9816
9817Melfina: I know, but...
9818
9819Gene: Don't worry Melfina. We'll come back in one piece. I promise you that.
9820
9821// They head to the restaurant.
9822
9823Jim: Man... This place looks expensive. Okay Gene, if you need me I'll be standing by in the
9824parking lot.
9825
9826Gene: Right.
9827
9828// He goes in. He is brought to the table.
9829
9830Waiter: Your table sir, enjoy your meal.
9831
9832Ron: I know that you'd change your mind. Please, have a seat.
9833
9834Waiter: Take your time gentlemen.
9835
9836Gene: Well?
9837
9838Ron: I want to propose a deal to you.
9839
9840Gene: A deal? I thought I came here to discuss a job that had to do with the Galactic Leyline.
9841
9842Ron: I want to know if you'd agree to sell me your ship and the girl that accesses its central
9843computer.
9844
9845Gene: Sorry pal, neither one of them's for sale. Huh... Wait a minute... how do you know about
9846Melfina?
9847
9848Ron: I heard about her from my little brother.
9849
9850Gene: Your little brother...? Huh? Are you telling me that you're the older MacDougal Brother?
9851
9852Ron: Thats right. I knew that you'd catch on quick.
9853
9854Gene: You jerk!
9855
9856Ron: The Galactic Leyline. Now that I've got your attention, do you have any idea what it is?
9857
9858Gene: I don't know, but I would imagine your killing Hilda had something to do with it.
9859
9860Ron: It was nothing personal, I was just carrying out a contract. I just happened to be doing
9861some checking around afterwards and discovered a few stray facts I think you might find
9862especially interesting.
9863
9864Gene: Really? What do you mean by facts? Erh... start talking!
9865
9866Ron: To make the journey to a place called the Galactic Leyline, the Kai Pirates needed a
9867specially equipped ship and navigation system. The only ship that can make such a trip is
9868yours, the XGP. And the only navigation system precise enough is the bio android girl.
9869
9870Gene: I know for a fact Hilda kept that ship a secret!
9871
9872Ron: That ship wasn't designed to be constructed by the Pirates alone, it was completed in
9873secrecy with considerable assistance from the Space Forces group. Incidently, the ship and
9874the android were both stolen by Hilda.
9875
9876Gene: So... you helped out the pirates and killed Hilda. Is that it?
9877
9878Ron: No, not at all. The only way I helped out the pirates was by finding Hilda. The actual
9879request to destroy the XGP came from the Space Forces, who were afraid that their dealings
9880with the pirates would come out. At the time, they didn't explain what kind of ship the
9881XGP was, or its capabilities.
9882
9883Gene: But that doesn't change the fact that you're the one who killed Hilda.
9884
9885Ron: I'll get to that point. But before I do, I want the XGP and the Bio Android girl Melfina.
9886
9887Gene: I'll never give them to a blood sucking parasite like you.
9888
9889Ron: Have it your way, but just remember if you keep them they won't be used for their original
9890purpose.
9891
9892Gene: Then there's just one other think I need to ask you.
9893
9894Ron: Yeah, what is it?
9895
9896Gene: Are you the guys who destroyed a cargo ship near Sentinel 3 six years ago? I've got to
9897know.
9898
9899Ron: Six years ago near Sentinel? Hah, I dont' remember anything like that.
9900
9901Gene: Yes you do, you lying bastard, I saw your ship with my own two eyes.
9902
9903Ron: In that case, I suppose its possible, I've forgotten I've been rather busy in my line of
9904work. I can't remember every little job I've done.
9905
9906Gene: Little job?! Let me help you remember!
9907
9908// He pulls out a gun.
9909
9910Gene: How bout starting from the beginning and telling me everything that you know
9911
9912
9913
9914Ron: I thought I told you this afternoon to come unarmed.
9915
9916Gene: I didn't have any guarantee that you'd be unarmed, did I?
9917
9918Ron: Now all I guess you didn't.
9919
9920// The guys next to him take out guns.
9921
9922Ron: I think you've insulted my friends.
9923
9924Gene: I hate to insult you, but you're not the only one who brought along some friends.
9925
9926// Aisha and Suzuka come out of their costumes and attack. Ron jumps out the window.
9927
9928Gene: Come back here!
9929
9930// They go outside, where Ron has a bunch of cat like weapons.
9931
9932Ron: These are the latest Space Force weapons. I'm told they're extremely powerful.
9933
9934Aisha: You're gonna have to pay me more than a lousy 20 wong an hour to take those things on.
9935
9936Suzuka: I was only interested in getting involved because you said the Kai Pirates where at the
9937bottom of this one.
9938
9939Gene: It so happens that guy has the key to the Kei Pirates and the Galactic Leyline.
9940
9941Aisha: The Galactic Leyline?!
9942
9943// Meanwhile, at their place, the door knocks.
9944
9945Melfina: Oh? Who is it? Huh?
9946
9947// She opens the door. Its Harry.
9948
9949Harry: Hiya.
9950
9951
9952
9953Melfina: Oh... Its you.
9954
9955--------
9956
9957Eyecatch
9958
9959--------
9960
9961// Melfina closes the door.
9962
9963Harry: Open up! Don't be afraid, I just came to pick you up Melfina.
9964
9965Melfina: Pick me up?
9966
9967// Meanwhile Gene is fighting.
9968
9969Gene: Great, this toy just isn't gonna cut it.
9970
9971// Jim arrives.
9972
9973Jim: Hey Gene, what the hecks going on around here?
9974
9975Gene: Weren't you listening in on the radio?
9976
9977Jim: All I got was noise, I couldn't hear anything. I guess they jammed the system or something.
9978
9979Gene: This is exactly what he's been planning all along. Watch my back Jim, will ya?
9980
9981Jim: You got it.
9982
9983// Suzuka and Aisha fight as well.
9984
9985Gene: You're all mine.
9986
9987// He shoots at Ron.
9988
9989Gene: What the hell?
9990
9991Ron: I also have the Space Force's top of the line light shield for protection.
9992
9993Gene: Blast you!
9994
9995// The fight continues. Jim shoots one of the cat like weapons.
9996
9997Jim: Hey, I got im!
9998
9999// Gene kills it with his caster.
10000
10001Jim: You moron! You know how expensive it is to get a hold of these things Gene?
10002
10003Gene: This is not the time!
10004
10005// He kills another.
10006
10007Gene: Unfortunately your light shield doesn't cut it against this thing.
10008
10009Ron: I had no idea you use a caster.
10010
10011// Harry bangs on the door.
10012
10013Harry: C'mon, open up Melfina, come with me please! Its for your own good, do you hear me?
10014
10015// He tears through the door with his hand and grabs Melfina.
10016
10017Melfina: Ah! Ah........
10018
10019// Harry opens up the door and comes in.
10020
10021Harry: Why didn't you open the door for me?! I came here because of you, couldn't you at least
10022show a little gratitude?
10023
10024// The fight continues.
10025
10026Suzuka: I've seen all your moves, I suggest you save your strength.
10027
10028Aisha: Erh... Ah! Stay out of this, I don't have any business with you!
10029
10030// Only Ron is left.
10031
10032Suzuka: Now tell us about the Kai Pirates.
10033
10034Aisha: And the mystery of the Galactic Leyline.
10035
10036Gene: Why don't you just tell us everything you know.
10037
10038Ron: Hmph. Sorry, I don't think so.
10039
10040// Gene shoots him. Ron takes out his own weapon and blocks it.
10041
10042Gene: What is this?
10043
10044Ron: You know, casters have earned the reputation of being exceptionally effective against the
10045Tao Masters because they're based on a totally different technical system.
10046
10047Gene: This could get ugly.
10048
10049Ron: Two weapons that are using the same technological system can defend against each other.
10050
10051// Gene shoots, Ron blocks by firing his weapon.
10052
10053Gene: Its a caster!
10054
10055Ron: Right! And therefore we cancel each other out.
10056
10057// They fire again.
10058
10059Gene: This is not good, I'm gonna run out of shells before he does.
10060
10061Ron: Whats the matter? You can't run off, I'm not finished playing with you yet.
10062
10063Gene: Ah, you wanna play?
10064
10065// They shoot again. This time Gene runs.
10066
10067Gene: We're getting out of here now!
10068
10069Aisha: Where are you going?
10070
10071Gene: C'mon, they're after the Outlaw Star and Melfina!
10072
10073Jim: Wha?
10074
10075Aisha: Huh?
10076
10077Suzuka: Huh?
10078
10079Ron: My little brother Harry's quite taken with Melfina.
10080
10081// Gene jumps in the car and they drive off.
10082
10083Gene: Hurry up Jim.
10084
10085Jim: Got it.
10086
10087Ron: Its 30 minutes to the spaceport, no matter how fast they go they'll never make it to the
10088space port in time.
10089
10090Aisha: Hey, wait a minute!
10091
10092// Ron runs off.
10093
10094Aisha: Wait, come back here and tell me what you know about the Galactic Leyline!
10095
10096// Meanwhile...
10097
10098Melfina: No, don't! Stay away!
10099
10100Harry: Why are you running away?!
10101
10102// He whacks her with the flowers he brought.
10103
10104Harry: I didn't mean to do that Melfina, I'm sorry. I promise I'm not going to hurt you. After
10105all, when it really comes down to it, we're one in the same.
10106
10107Melfina: What do you mean the same?
10108
10109Harry: Yeah, you and I Melfina. Both of us, we're really constructs.
10110
10111Melfina: Constructs? You're one too?
10112
10113Harry: Yes, thats right, I was born in a test tube, a human organism made from synthetic
10114protoplasm I was based from someone else's genes, but I don't have any parents. I'm a
10115construct. It was just the samewith you, right? Tell me everything you remember.
10116
10117Melfina: I don't know. I can't remember anything like that at all.
10118
10119Harry: You've got to remember. Listen to me, we're exactly the same, we're constructs with
10120greater abilities than any mere humans. Nothing good could ever come from staying with
10121normal people. C'mon, come with me, we'll look out for each other.
10122
10123Melfina: Oh...
10124
10125Harry: C'mon, hey you can trust me.
10126
10127Melfina: No!
10128
10129Harry: Ugh, why can't I make you understand!?
10130
10131Melfina: Ah!
10132
10133// He hits her offscreen and brings her to the spaceport.
10134
10135Harry: I feel so sorry for you. All these horrible things have happened to you. But you can
10136relax now, I'll protect you, don't worry about it.
10137
10138Melfina: No!
10139
10140// She jumps off of him.
10141
10142Harry: Ugh!
10143
10144Melfina: Gilliam help, open up the hatch!
10145
10146Gilliam: What in the world is the matter?
10147
10148Harry: Ah!
10149
10150Gilliam: Ah!
10151
10152// The door closes.
10153
10154Harry: Ugh. Open up! Open up!
10155
10156Gilliam: I'm terribly sorry, but you don't have the captain's permission to come aboard.
10157
10158Harry: I don't need anybody's permission.
10159
10160// He hacks into the ship with his arm.
10161
10162Gilliam: Melfina, could you possibly give me a hand here? The intruder that has been persuing
10163you is trying to penetrate my protection from outside somehow. If something isn't
10164done soon, he'll be able to open up the hatch.
10165
10166Melfina: Yes of course.
10167
10168Harry: Ah.
10169
10170// Melfina is inside the usual place. She is in a computer like world, where Harry shows up.
10171
10172Harry: There you are. I've been looking forward to meeting you like this. Now do you believe me
10173Melfina?
10174
10175Melfina: Stop it! Stay away from me!
10176
10177Harry: Why are you running away? Why don't you come along with me? There's no reason to turn
10178me down, right? I'm the only one who can see you like this, you know its true Melfina.
10179
10180Melfina: Stay away! Stay away!
10181
10182Harry: Hiding in there won't do you any good. There's no place for us around normal humans
10183anymore. Haven't you ever felt left out, unwanted? Come along with me Melfina, you and I
10184belong together, joined as one forever.
10185
10186Melfina: No!
10187
10188Harry: Ugh! Ah!
10189
10190// His hand short circuits.
10191
10192Harry: Why!? Why won't you do what I say?! What is it?! Whats your problem, whats wrong? Ah!
10193Stop moving around by yourself!
10194
10195// Ron calls him.
10196
10197Ron: Harry, they're on their way, they'll be coming back soon. Were you able to get the XGP and
10198the android like we discussed?
10199
10200Harry: Why doesn't anybody do what I tell them to do? That witch, my arms freaking out.
10201
10202Ron: You mean you blew it?! Get out of there now!
10203
10204Harry: Ah... you moron. You hear me, don't you forget, its Harry MacDougal you're dealing with.
10205I'll catch up to you, you can count on it.
10206
10207// He leaves. Later, the others arrive.
10208
10209Gene: Melfina! Are you okay?
10210
10211Gilliam: Don't worry Gene. An intruder tried to break into the main control room of the Outlaw
10212Star, but with the valient efforts of Melfina and myself, we drove them off.
10213
10214Jim: Are you sure that you're okay Melfina?
10215
10216Melfina: Yeah, sure. I'm really feeling fine Jim.
10217
10218Jim: Thank goodness. We were really worried there.
10219
10220// Later...
10221
10222Gene: MacDougal Brothers are after us. They'll stop at nothing until they get the Outlaw Star and
10223Melfina. I don't think I can take too much more of this.
10224
10225Jim: Well if you can't take too much more of this, what do you plan we do?
10226
10227Gene: Good question.
10228
10229Jim: Whats this? Its a message for Mel.
10230
10231Gwen: Hi Melfina, so tell me how you've been. Have you been well? Do you remember me? Its your
10232friend Gwen Khan.
10233
10234Jim: Hey, its that old geezer.
10235
10236Gwen: By the way, what are you still doing on Heiphong? Aren't you going to look for the
10237Galactic Leyline?
10238
10239Gene: And he's talking about the Galactic Leyline too.
10240
10241Gwen: You have the XGP, but you still haven't left yet, could it be that you don't have any
10242information? I see, that must be it. Right. Right. I've been checking into things on my
10243end too, but I haven't uncovered any clues yet. Yes, yes, I see. I see. Well, I'll
10244contact you again. I'll be in touch if I find anything further.
10245
10246Jim: That guy still doesn't make any sense to me.
10247
10248Gene: I know, me either, but I just figured something else out.
10249
10250Jim: Whats that?
10251
10252Gene: That we really have no other choice. We have to go to the Galactic Leyline at once and end
10253this.
10254
10255// Melfina is at the shrine again.
10256
10257Melfina: I can't help but wonder who he really was anyway... and who am I?!

10265The Strongest Woman In The Universe
10266
10267
10268
10269
10270
10271// At Fred's place...
10272
10273Fred: So... what do you have in mind, do you want to borrow more money, what do I get out of it?
10274
10275Gene: I don't have the time to deal with chump change jobs anymore if thats what you're talking
10276about. Look Fred, this is serious. You're the only one I can turn to right now.
10277
10278Fred: Hmm... Hm. Hey, now don't be so formal. We're closer friends than that, have I ever
10279turned you down for any kind of a favor?
10280
10281Gene: Then you will?
10282
10283Fred: Of course I will. But only under one condition.
10284
10285Gene: I'm not gonna dance with ya.
10286
10287Fred: Ha! Please, I only want you to do a job for me.
10288
10289Gene: What kinda job?
10290
10291Fred: It'll take place in only three days. The annual galactic Strong Man Tournament. The biggest
10292tournament of its kind will be held at the Heiphong Colleseum. Its a no holds barred fight
10293between people who think they're the strongest person in the galaxy. The winner goes home
10294with the galaxy title in addition to a purse of 100000 wong.
10295
10296Gene: And you're asking me to enter my name and win it? Are you crazy, you're fighting poster
10297boy?
10298
10299Fred: No, thats not what I'm asking. The problem I have has to do with the Tournament's female
10300division.
10301
10302Gene: Women fight in this thing too?
10303
10304// Fred gives Gene two pics, Gene looks at the one on top.
10305
10306Gene: Hey, she's pretty good looking Fred.
10307
10308Fred: Reiko Ando. Who has held the title of the Strongest Woman in the Universe for 4 years
10309running now.
10310
10311Gene: You gotta be kidding me man... a cute looking babe like that?
10312
10313// He sees the pic of her entire body.
10314
10315Gene: Ugh... uh. Ah!
10316
10317Fred: I don't care what you have to do, get the job done. Keep her from winning a fifth time!
10318
10319-----------------------------------
10320
10321The Strongest Woman in the Universe
10322
10323-----------------------------------
10324
10325// They are at a bar.
10326
10327Gene: I guess I just don't understand it. What difference does it make if this muscle chick wins
10328the Strongest Woman in the Universe Title again?
10329
10330Fred: It means I'll have to marry her.
10331
10332
10333
10334Gene: Hmm? What did you just say?
10335
10336Fred: Marry.
10337
10338Gene: What do you mean, whate are you trying to tell me?
10339
10340Fred: I'm telling you that I'm gonna have to get married to that hormonoly challenged amazon
10341girl, okay?
10342
10343Gene: You're gonna marry her? Ew... (laughs)
10344
10345Fred: Will you cut it out man, its no laughing matter.
10346
10347Gene: So why are you making such a big issue out of this? Why not just get married?
10348
10349Fred: Have you completely lost your mind? Because I don't want to. My inquisitive nature won't be
10350satisfied until I explore other amorous pursuits.
10351
10352Gene: Okay... so what does getting married have to do with who wins the Strongest Woman in the
10353Universe Tournament?
10354
10355Fred: Lou family tradition says that the women we select to be our brides have to be the
10356strongest in the universe.
10357
10358Gene: What? What are you talking about?
10359
10360Fred: Properly speaking, it means a bride who possesses mental strength and a high moral ethic.
10361But I guess that I dictated terms to her that were of a more general nature.
10362
10363Gene: Hmm... so you told her that she had to win the Tournament, is that what you're saying?
10364
10365Fred: I told her five times, five times! Oh... I figured that she'd never be able to do it, but
10366she's won! She has won every year for the last four years!
10367
10368Gene: Which means that this year will make it five years running with you as the prize waiting
10369for her at the finish line.
10370
10371Fred: I'm gonna smack you if you don't stop teasinbg me. I'm asking you to help me.
10372
10373Gene: Okay, take it easy, but you'll lend me all the money with none of your shinanigans if I win
10374the tournament, right?
10375
10376Fred: I'll pay the money in full as you know.
10377
10378// He writes something down.
10379
10380Fred: How does this much sound?
10381
10382Fred and Gene: (laughs)
10383
10384Gene: Hey, there's no need to be so formal with me Freddy boy, have I ever once turned you down
10385for a favor?
10386
10387Fred: Gene.
10388
10389Gene: Okay my friend, we have ourselves a deal.
10390
10391Fred: I'm counting on you.
10392
10393// On the drive there...
10394
10395Gene: Do you think you can handle it Aisha? All you have to do is get into the ring and defeat
10396that muscle chick, I'm really depending on you.
10397
10398Aisha: Ah... just leave it to me, its a piece of cake, I don't care who she is I can beat anybody
10399in the galaxy.
10400
10401Suzuka: The universe is a very big place, I wouldn't be so sure it'll be that easy.
10402
10403Aisha: For someone as brave as you Suz, you sure sound like a worry wort.
10404
10405Suzuka: For the last time, stop calling me by that name.
10406
10407Aisha: Have no fear, just leave everything to Aisha. I've already got a million ideas about how
10408I'm gonna spend the prize money. Can't you get this thing to go any faster Gene, this girl
10409is ready to pounce!
10410
10411// The get there.
10412
10413Aisha: Why not? What do you mean I can't enter?
10414
10415Clerk: According to tournament rules, it states the Ctarl Ctarl are not allowed to enter the
10416competition.
10417
10418Aisha: Why not?! Who made up this stupid rule that the Ctarl Ctarl aren't allowed in, thats
10419discrimination.
10420
10421Clerk: Five years ago, a Ctarl Ctarl who qualified as a contestant in the final tournament became
10422overly excited and turned into some kind of animal. And then she... pounced on her
10423opponent, pinning her down and bit off her right ear!
10424
10425Aisha: Yah... no, you're kidding me.
10426
10427Clerk: Thats not the worst of it. She was disqualified, but that made her even more wild!
10428
10429Aisha: No!
10430
10431Clerk: There were 984 hospitalized! 5379 were seriously injured!
10432
10433Aisha: Ah!
10434
10435Clerk: There were so many with wounds that we lost count! It was a monumental disaster that was
10436totally unprecidented. And so... ever since that day, all Ctarl Ctarl have been banned
10437from the tournament, understand?
10438
10439Aisha: You can't be serious...
10440
10441Jim: What are we gonna do Gene?
10442
10443Gene: We haven't got much choice. If Aisha can't enter, we haven't got a uh... Suzuka!
10444
10445Suzuka: Are you serious? You want me to do a job for Fred Lou? Right...
10446
10447Gene: I... just thought. I didn't think she's go for it. So I guess we're really out of options.
10448
10449Melfina: I know.
10450
10451Gene: Hmm?
10452
10453Melfina: Why don't you enter the tournament yourself?
10454
10455Gene: What are you thinking? I don't have any qualifications, there's no way I'd get away with
10456that!
10457
10458Jim: Well... now thats not entirely untrue.
10459
10460Gene: Which side are you on, remember I'm a man?
10461
10462Suzuka: Well now, wait a minute. That might actually be an excellent solution.
10463
10464Gene: Huh? C'mon, not you too?
10465
10466Suzuka: You have a number of options, you just have to keep an open mind.
10467
10468Gene: Hmm?
10469
10470// Later...
10471
10472Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen... welcome to the 13th annual Universal Strong Man Tournament!
10473Please welcome the executive committee chairman, Ikee Katchin who'll deliver the
10474opening address!
10475
10476Ikee: This message goes out to all of you who have entered the Universal Strong Man Tournament.
10477I want to tahnk you all from the bottom of my heart...
10478
10479Fred: Hmmm?
10480
10481// He sees Gene dressed like a girl.
10482
10483Ikee: And for those 32 women who have trained so hard and have assembled...
10484
10485Fred: I can't believe it! Gene Starwing got dressed up in that embarrasing get up just for me.
10486
10487Gene: Erh...
10488
10489// He flashes back.
10490
10491
10492
10493Melfina: Maybe this color would look better on you.
10494
10495Suzuka: I think this would complement his eyes.
10496
10497Jim: We've bribed that official so don't worry about it. No one wil find ya out. Now get in
10498there and make us some money Jenny.
10499
10500Gene: They were loving every minute of it.
10501
10502Aisha: How long does he plan to ramble like this?
10503
10504Gene: You got that right. Finish already... huh?
10505
10506Aisha: (yawns) I can hardly keep awake, hurry up.
10507
10508Gene: How did she get in here?
10509
10510// They confront Aisha in the locker room.
10511
10512Aisha: And one... and two...
10513
10514Gene: How the heck did you sneak in here you animal?
10515
10516Aisha: I told you not to call me that... huh? Gene? (laughs) You lose your pompoms little...
10517
10518Gene: Hey shut up Aisha, your'e in no position to laugh at anyone.
10519
10520Aisha: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm afraid that you're terribly mistaken, I'm the
10521mysterious masked fighter Firecat. Any resemblence to Aisha Clan Clan is pure coincidence.
10522I don't know her.
10523
10524Jim: We can see through the disguise Aisha.
10525
10526Melfina: I can't believe you fooled them with that costume Aisha.
10527
10528Aisha: Rrr... will you stop calling me Aisha? Huh?
10529
10530
10531
10532// A woman bursts out of the locker tied up.
10533
10534Firecat: I'm tellin you, I'm the real Firecat! Yah!
10535
10536// Aisha throws her back in.
10537
10538Aisha: (laughs)
10539
10540Gene: No, you didn't...
10541
10542Aisha: I did like it or not, I'm gonna fight as Firecat. I'll surprise all of you and win this
10543thing, you'll see.
10544
10545
10546
10547Jim: Hey wow, you actually thought things through for a change.
10548
10549Gene: You're not taking her side, are you Jim?
10550
10551Jim: Whats the matter, you sound like you're dissappointed little girl.
10552
10553Melfina: This is good news for you Gene, Aisha can fight her instead.
10554
10555Gene: Melfina...? Not you too.
10556
10557Aisha: That a girl, I'm gonna win this Tournament and restore the respect of the Ctarl Ctarl.
10558
10559// Noise comes from the locker again.
10560
10561Aisha: Hey, pipe down in there, will ya!
10562
10563Gene: Hmm.. suit yourself.
10564
10565// Elsewhere...
10566
10567Guy: Please think this through Lady Iraga. If Lord Hazanko catches wind of this, there's no
10568telling what he'll do. He'll stop at nothing to make sure his orders are carried through.
10569
10570Iraga: Will you shut up! You think I'm gonna let them choose who the Strongest Woman in the
10571Universe is without me having something to say about it?
10572
10573Guy 2: But thats not what we're supposed to do.
10574
10575Iraga: I know that tubby, I'll get them both soon enough. Victory will be mine, as for that idiot
10576Gene Starwing, we'll be seeing the last of him.
10577
10578Announcer: The first match of the first round in tonight's event will now begin. In the blue
10579corner, representing the outlaw brawling style... Jenny Starwind! And in the red
10580corner, representing the Ando comprehensive fighting style, the Strongest Woman in the
10581Universe for 4 years running... Reiko Ando!
10582
10583Reiko: I'll win this Tournament, nothing in the world can possibly stop me now and I'll go home
10584victorious after winning the Tournament for a fifth straight time as Fred's bride.
10585
10586Fred: I feel like someone just walked over my grave. Huh? I'm begging you now Gene. Please,
10587you've got to win this one.
10588
10589// The match begins.
10590
10591Gene: Hm. This lady is built like a rock.
10592
10593Melfina: Get in there ang go for it Gene!
10594
10595Jim: Hey, have you forgotten about it, don't call him Gene, for today you call him Jenny.
10596
10597Melfina: Oh, thats right.
10598
10599// Gene dodges all of Reiko's attacks.
10600
10601Gene: Its all part of the plan.
10602
10603Reiko: Stand still blast you, can't you get serious?
10604
10605Gene: No, I don't think I can.
10606
10607Jim: He calls this a plan?
10608
10609Suzuka: He's probably just trying to confuse her by throwing her game off so he can wear her down
10610by throwing her game off so he can wear her down at his own pace. Their differences in
10611overall strength is immense.
10612
10613Gene: Woohoo, over here, over here.
10614
10615Jim: Gene... I mean Jenny, stop fooling around like that.
10616
10617// She grabs him.
10618
10619Reiko: Hah, what happened to that terrific plan of yours?
10620
10621Gene: Its working. By the way, your hair looks great.
10622
10623// She slams his head to the mat.
10624
10625-------------
10626
10627Eyecatch
10628
10629-------------
10630
10631Melfina: Hey, I think he's coming around.
10632
10633Gene: Where am I?
10634
10635Melfina: The infirmary.
10636
10637Gene: What about the match?
10638
10639Jim: You got your butt kicked.
10640
10641Fred: How could you humiliate me in such a way. What do you propose I do now, propose?
10642
10643Gene: Now look, just calm down, alright?
10644
10645Fred: How can I calm down in a time like this?
10646
10647Gene: We still have an ace up our sleeves guys, I have a great idea.
10648
10649// Aisha beats up competitors in the ring.
10650
10651Aisha: Yaa! (can't figure out what she says here)
10652
10653Announcer: And the winner is Firecat!
10654
10655Gene: Thats the only trump hard that we have left. I'm telling you, she's a heck of a competitor.
10656Unfortunately, thats all she's good for.
10657
10658Aisha: Triple reverse and prominent stomach kick!
10659
10660Jim: She did it! She made it past the second round!
10661
10662// Reiko does too though...
10663
10664Gene: She's good, I'll give her that much.
10665
10666// Later...
10667
10668Aisha: (laughs) What a piece of cake.
10669
10670Fred: Oh please Firecat, don't let me down now, you're the only one I can count on.
10671
10672Aisha: Just leave it to me.
10673
10674Gene: Yeah, just don't get caught with your tail between your legs.
10675
10676Aisha: Well, if it isn't the delicate Ms. Jenny, the one who got her butt kicked in the first
10677round of her very first match!
10678
10679Gene: Erh...
10680
10681Melfina: The second match of the semi finals is over.
10682
10683Gene: Oh yeah? The muscle chick ended up winning the match, right?
10684
10685Melfina: Not exactly.
10686
10687Suzuka: Reiko lost the match actually.
10688
10689Gene: Say what?
10690
10691Melfina: She lost early on, 19 seconds into the match. It was a quick win for Iraga, she's a
10692member of the Hokai Shadow Boxing team.
10693
10694Gene: That is impossible!
10695
10696
10697
10698Fred: Yeah! I can't believe it! This is great Gene! I don't hve to get married to Reiko!
10699
10700Gene: Yeah, I'm really glad for you Fred.
10701
10702Fred: This is fantastic, how bout we go out and celebrate?
10703
10704Gene: Now the onlything I need to do is collect my pay.
10705
10706Fred: Your pay?
10707
10708Gene: Uh huh.
10709
10710Fred: I thought one was to be paid when the work was successfully completed if I'm not mistaken
10711Gene, what exactly was it that you did to earn it? Well, I'll be looking forward to our
10712next encounter. Until then, take care of yourself Gene.
10713
10714Reiko: Fred, wait a minute.
10715
10716Fred: Well, there's really nothing to discuss Reiko.
10717
10718Reiko: No, don't say that! I'll start over again and train harder than ever. I'll start trying
10719to win 5 in a row next year if you have a shred of compassion won't you find it in your
10720heart to atleast give me another chance?
10721
10722
10723
10724Fred: Well of course I'll give you another chance, but I think you should consider taking your
10725time before you start training again, what do you say Reiko?
10726
10727Reiko: Thats so nice of you Fred, always worrying like that. Ah!
10728
10729Fred: Grr!
10730
10731Reiko: I love you! You'll never regret this. I'll make myself worhty to become your wife.
10732
10733Announcer: The finals are now ready to begin. In the red corner, representing professional wrestling at its best, Firecat!
10734
10735Aisha: Yeah! Thats right!
10736
10737Aisha: And in the blue corner, representing the Hokai Shadow Boxing Team, Iraga!
10738
10739Iraga: Huh? Gene Starwing, what's he doing here? Have to stay calm, the match has to come first.
10740
10741Aisha: I hearby dedicate this match to the people of the Ctarl Ctarl. I'm gonna win this!
10742
10743// The match begins.
10744
10745Gene: Whats the deal, neither one of them's making a move.
10746
10747Suzuka: I understand that 2 experienced fighters can judge their opponent's strength simply by
10748facing each other.
10749
10750// They fight...
10751
10752Aisha: You little... Ah!
10753
10754Iraga: Ugh!
10755
10756Gene: Check it out, she's got her pinned!
10757
10758Jim: Take her out now Aisha!
10759
10760Aisha: Oh yeah! Uh oh! Ah!
10761
10762Gene: Hey Aisha, pull yourself together, I thought the Ctarl Ctarl were supposed to be
10763invinsible.
10764
10765Iraga: Normally this is where I'd let you off the hock and show a little mercy, but not if you're
10766one of Gene Starwind's friends. You're not leaving alive.
10767
10768Gene: Man, looks like she's gonna hurt her.
10769
10770Jim: I know, even a Ctarl Ctarl's history if her head gets smashed in.
10771
10772Gene: Don't do it!
10773
10774// She is stopped by Aisha.
10775
10776Aisha: You talk too much, you know that? You shouldn't say anything when you're about to finish
10777someone off.
10778
10779Gene: Man, she really had me worried there for a second.
10780
10781Melfina: Don't give an inch Firecat, go for it!
10782
10783Aisha: Just leave it to me!
10784
10785// They continue, Aisha gets a submission move on Iraga.
10786
10787Aisha: Its all over. How do you like that? Give it up Iraga.
10788
10789Gene: Here it comes.
10790
10791Jim: Yeah, I don't care how strong she is, there's no way she can ever break free. Huh? No way!
10792If she were faster, smarter, I would understand but how is it she can be stronger than
10793Aisha?
10794
10795Aisha: Huh?
10796
10797Jim: You see that?
10798
10799Gene: I guess she's a Ctarl Ctarl too.
10800
10801Aisha: Its.. its you.
10802
10803Iraga: It doesn't look like I'll be able to finish our match right away. You'll have to take a
10804rain check. Sorry, now to do my job. Gene Starwind, take a last look around because
10805you're a dead man!
10806
10807Spectator: Ah! Its a Ctarl Ctarl!
10808
10809Fan: Lets get the heck out of here!
10810
10811// People rush out. Pirates are revealed around the ring that Suzuka attacks.
10812
10813Suzuka: Who are they, pirates?
10814
10815Gene: Beat it! Huh? Here puppy. Ah!
10816
10817Jim: Gene, look out!
10818
10819// She knocks him down, about to kill him when Aisha arrives.
10820
10821Aisha: I don't really care if you're a pirate or a wolf. But I'll be darned if anyone's gonna
10822stand in the way of my winning this thing!
10823
10824// She transforms too and they fight. The place is set aflame.
10825
10826Gene: Suzuka! Aisha! Suzuka!
10827
10828Suzuka: I'm alright.
10829
10830Gene: I'm glad to here it.
10831
10832Melfina: But Gene, what about Aisha?
10833
10834Gene: Huh? Aisha, can you hear me, where are you?
10835
10836Suzuka: Gene, lets get out of here while we still can, we'll be overcomed by the smoke if we
10837don't leave now.
10838
10839Gene: What about Aisha?
10840
10841Suzuka: Yes, I know... In her present she-wolf state, it will be impossible to see through to
10842her!
10843
10844// They leave.
10845
10846Melfina: What about Aisha? Oh no. Huh, whats that?
10847
10848// Aisha stands over the dead body of Iraga.
10849
10850Jim: Yeah Aisha! She's won the Tournament!
10851
10852Melfina: Thats great!
10853
10854Jim: She did it! She did it! She's so awesome!
10855
10856Suzuka: The Ctarl Ctarl really are invulnerable.
10857
10858Gene: Maybe I should stop teasing her for a while. She really proved herself to be a champion
10859this time.
10860
10861// The next day...
10862
10863Jim: I can't believe another Ctarl Ctarl snuck into the stadium without getting caught.
10864
10865Aisha: You're wrong, the Ctarl Ctarl don't run around with low class wolves like that, thats an
10866insult.
10867
10868Suzuka: I heard the Kai Pirates have an assassin in their ranks that turns into a werewolf when
10869she's provoked. I bet that was her.
10870
10871Gene: A pirate, huh?
10872
10873Jim: More to the point, what are we gonna do now Gene? We didn't get paid, and we used up all the
10874bounty we got.
10875
10876Gene: I don't know, my head hurts.
10877
10878// The phone rings.
10879
10880Gene: Hello, Starwind and Hawking.
10881
10882Fred: Gene.
10883
10884Gene: Oh, its you, what do you want?
10885
10886Fred: Oh nothing much. So it sounds like you had a little trouble after I left.
10887
10888Gene: Listen Fred, I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now, alright?
10889
10890Fred: Wait a minute, I was just thinking about the other promise I made too.
10891
10892Gene: What other promise are you talking about?
10893
10894Fred: I promised I'd lend money if you'd agreed to take on the job, remember? Well I'm keeping my
10895word.
10896
10897Gene: Really?
10898
10899Fred: I've already filled out the transfer paperwork you're going to need. You should be able to
10900cash it tomorrow. Is that okay? Thats it for now bon voyage.
10901
10902Gene: Thanks Fred.
10903
10904Jim: So whats up?
10905
10906Gene: Jim.
10907
10908Jim: Yeah?
10909
10910Gene: We're going on a trip.
10911
10912// At the space port...
10913
10914Melfina: All systems are green. Launch clearance has been granted.
10915
10916Aisha: Yes, we're finally going to the Galactic Leyline!
10917
10918Gene: Okay, lets do it. Outlaw Star lifting off. We're on our way.

10932
10933// The Outlaw Star has recently defeated a pirate ship.
10934
10935Melfina: Pirate ship showing no activity, victory is confirmed.
10936
10937Gene: Ah, what a complete waste of ammunition. And we just set out, man.
10938
10939Jim: This guy doesn't look like a Kai pirate or a Ban pirate.
10940
10941Suzuka: They're probably part of a larger group that uses this area as a operations base.
10942
10943Gene: Hmm... lets have a little fun.
10944
10945Melfina: Anchors 1 and 2 locked.
10946
10947Gene: I'm gonna make them pay us back for all the ammo that we used.
10948
10949Jim: Not to mention raid their gally for all the trouble they caused us.
10950
10951Aisha: (laughs) Who's the pirate now?
10952
10953Gene: Hey, we're the good guys and don't you forget it. Our incomes a little unstable, thats all,
10954consider this overtime.
10955
10956Melfina: Hold on Gene.
10957
10958Gene: Huh?
10959
10960Melfina: 3 ships are closing in quickly from behind the satellite to aft.
10961
10962Gene: What, do they have more friends?
10963
10964Melfina: It doesn't look that way. Now enlarging.
10965
10966Doose: You 2 ships there, hold it!
10967
10968Gene: What?!
10969
10970Doose: This is a patrol ship Straight 4 currently guarding this area of the Heiphong System.
10971Disarm yourselves and surrender your vessel at once.
10972
10973Jim: Hey, its a security forces's warship.
10974

10978
10979---------------
10980
10981// The Outlaw Star heads into the largest of the craft.
10982
10983Loudspeaker: White team. The machine reloading chamber will be sealed by 1400 hours. Blue team,
10984follow section alpha's instructions, scheduled change.
10985
10986Loudspeaker(2nd voice): Attention security forces. Red pirate ship is being locked down in
10987dock 4.
10988
10989Gene: A red pirate ship, huh? Man, these public servants sure like to peg you right off the bat,
10990don't they?
10991
10992Loudspeaker: Now locking down.
10993
10994// The Outlaw Star is locked down.
10995
10996Gene: Ugh. You morons.
10997
10998Doose: Attention Outlaw Star. Your crew is to disarm immediately and proceed to the designated
10999deck on level 2.
11000
11001Gene: Ah. You'll be okay, Gilliam?
11002
11003Gilliam: Don't worry about me Gene, I'll be waiting right here.
11004
11005// They are brought to level 2 and are frisked.
11006
11007Gene: Hey pal, if its all the same to you, I'd rather be talking to that lady over there.
11008
11009
11010
11011Guard: Whip that grin off your face. Whatever you're thinking, forget about it, we're not a
11012bunch of suckers on this station. Ok, next.
11013
11014Gene: Huh? This place is bizarre.
11015
11016Melfina: Gene, this is strange.
11017
11018Gene: What is it?
11019
11020Melfina: I took the liberty of going through the data we took from the pirate ship's AI a little
11021while ago. Its pretty fragmented, but I was able to determine that their operations
11022time sequence is clearly set to this space station.
11023
11024Gene: Really to this station? So what does this mean?
11025
11026Melfina: I'm not sure but they're planning something.
11027
11028Female Guard: Body checks complete.
11029
11030Guard: Alright, c'mon this way you pirate scum and hop to it.
11031
11032Gene: I'm telling you, we're not pirates.
11033
11034Guard: yeah, thats what they all say.
11035
11036Gene: Right, yeah whatever buddy.
11037
11038// They are brought to a darkly lit room.
11039
11040Jim: I guess men and women are handled seperately.
11041
11042Gene: I wish they'd give us some coffee or something.
11043
11044Doose: Gene Starwind. Thats one impressive ship for an innocent civilian with no alterior
11045motives.
11046
11047Gene: My father was an interplanetary trader who insisted on only the best. It was one of his
11048ships. She's registered out of Blue Heaven. I told you, its legit.
11049
11050Doose: A simple trader with a Grappler Ship? What do you say we cut the crap right now?
11051
11052Gene: Shut your trap! I run a legitimate business and I don't need approval from you. Blast it,
11053you're that guy from the patrol ship aren't ya? Try saying that to my face!
11054
11055Doose: Very well. I hope I don't alarm you.
11056
11057// The door opens and he comes in.
11058
11059
11060
11061Gene: Huh? What is this, whats with the lizard suit?
11062
11063Doose: I'd prefer you call me Doose. I'm the technical officer for the security service forces
11064better known as Angel Links.
11065
11066
11067
11068
11069Jim: He's a Saurian. I've never seen one before. They were created through genetic engineering.
11070
11071Gene: You're kidding me, genetics? You mean this guy's from the Jurassic Period?
11072
11073Doose: Eh?
11074
11075Valeria: My name's Valeria, his collegue. We're really members of a special security service
11076that have been selected out of the Aurascion system. We've been stationed here as part
11077of our security duties. I was just doing a routine reconniscense when I happened to come
11078across you and that other ship in the middle of a fight.
11079
11080Gene: I'll admit that you caught me there with my guard down. But lets discuss that later. You
11081were there, you saw the other wreckage didn't ya? Those guys are the pirates. We're the
11082good guys that took them down Valeria, you should be thanking us instead.
11083
11084Jim: Yep, thats right.
11085
11086Valeria: Hmm... Starwind. I see you're the young outlaw who's been making a name for himself in
11087Heiphong lately. I'd seen a video of you and your spaceship in action.
11088
11089Gene: Well, what'd you think of it?
11090
11091Jim: Easy there, lets just chill out now, okay?
11092
11093Valeria: So whats a guy like you doing in this part of space, just cruising around?
11094
11095Gene: What if I tell you I'm out on a treasure hunt?
11096
11097Valeria: I'd tell you that you're looking too hard. This sector's crawling with Pirates looking
11098for treasure all the time. You really think that you're gonna be the lucky one to find
11099it this time?
11100
11101Gene: I've been known to get lucky from time to time. Besides, I'm up to my ears in debt.
11102
11103Valeria: From my experience, your Grappler ship has equipment thats on par with a pirate ship.
11104Seems to me you should have come up with something big by now.
11105
11106Doose: Hm. I don't care how much he peddles on about being an outlaw, he's just a degenerate
11107mammal punk. My guess is that he was smuggling something all along.
11108
11109Gene: Thats crap. I knew I'd be treated unfairly by you security people. But I never thought I'd
11110be accused of being a pirate from some fascist lizard.
11111
11112// Doose punches him in the face.
11113
11114Jim: Ah!
11115
11116Gene: Ugh!
11117
11118Jim: You okay?
11119
11120Valeria: Doose!
11121
11122Gene: Ugh. Nice shot.
11123
11124Doose: Next time it won't be such a love tap, space boy. I don't let anyone get away with bad
11125mouthing us.
11126
11127Gene: And I don't let cheap shots slide by either pal. C'mon.
11128
11129Valeria: Thats enough Doose, you better watch it.
11130
11131Jim: What are you doing Gene, calm down!
11132
11133Doose: People who call themselves outlaws are nothing more than lowly criminals to me.
11134
11135Valeria: Doose.
11136
11137Gene: Do a background check if you want. And then you should spend some more time on worrying
11138about the real pirates you caught and not us.
11139
11140Valeria: Oh yeah? What are you talking about?
11141
11142Gene: I'm saying that they came in here because they're planning on attacking your fleet.
11143
11144Doose: Hah! With just one ship? They'll be up against a heavily guarded naval port.
11145
11146Valeria: And what brings you to that conclusion?
11147
11148Gene: While we were engaged in the fight with the pirates our navigator was able to retrieve some
11149files from their AI.
11150
11151Doose: How can he find pirate's files? I was under the impression that they were all deleted.
11152Even if its true, it doesn't let you off the hook, we can still detain you as long as we
11153want.
11154
11155Gene: My, how noble of you. Aren't you the very model of an officer of law and order.
11156
11157Doose: I pride myself on it.
11158
11159Valeria: Doose, wait. Just to be on the safe side, don't you think we should interrogate those
11160other pirates?
11161
11162Doose: Fine, as you wish. But I want Starwind's ship disarmed at once. And then I want it
11163inspected thoroughly.
11164
11165Assistant: Yes sir!
11166
11167Jim: I've always heard that Saurians are reptilian dimwits.
11168
11169Doose: You heard wrong. I come from a strong race of people with a warrior's pride. We believe in
11170loyalty and honor, but I guess thats something that criminals like you wouldn't
11171understand.
11172
11173// Later...
11174
11175Aisha: Ah, this is taking forever.
11176
11177Guard: Get in there!
11178
11179Melfina: Gene, your face!
11180
11181Gene: Its alright, don't worry about it. So whats going to happen now, Ms. Officer? You want to
11182ruff me up for a while?
11183
11184Valeria: Sorry to dissappoint you, but we'll have to detain you for a while. Its an emergency so
11185don't take it personally.
11186
11187Gene: Well I do.
11188
11189Valeria: I want all of you to see this.
11190
11191Gene: See what?
11192
11193// A screen of another ship is put up.
11194
11195Valeria: Its a civilian ship that will be docking soon. Its called the Midsummer Night's Queen.
11196
11197// Pics show it in bad shape.
11198
11199Suzuka: And this was caused by a pirates ambush?
11200
11201Valeria: Yes. By the time we received their SOS, it was too late.
11202
11203Aisha: They destroyed everyone?
11204
11205Valeria: There were only 128 survivors, ten percent of her passengers.
11206
11207Jim: Gene!
11208
11209Gene: Who the heck did this, what a mess!
11210
11211Valeria: Does this remind you of the incident with your father 5 years ago?
11212
11213Gene: Hmm. Thats some background. You even have old news stories on file.
11214
11215Valeria: Our job is to guard the fronteir and all the surrounding areas. We make sure to keep
11216thorough records on espionage to petty smuggling.
11217
11218Gene: I just can't stand pirates.
11219
11220Valeria: Neither can we.
11221
11222Suzuka: Hmm. They seem to be from the same Pirate group that we fought earlier.
11223
11224Valeria: Very observant.
11225
11226Suzuka: Aobut somethings, on the fronteir you tend to develop a sixth sense about danger.
11227
11228Valeria: These pirates are notorious around the fronteir region. They sometimes even try to make
11229a move on us. They look down on us because we're security.
11230
11231Gene: You see? Then you should atleast go over those files.
11232
11233Melfina: Its just a file on their operations time table. But you can retrieve the data from our
11234ship if you want.
11235
11236Valeria: I'll give it some consideration. I'll also consider the fact that you people are
11237possibly security risks.
11238
11239Gene: You're one shrewd lady. Not that much different from the lizard.
11240
11241Valeria: Hmm.
11242
11243Loudspeaker: The Midsummer Night's Queen is now docking. All sections take your stations at
11244once.
11245
11246Valeria: I'll see you later then.
11247
11248Loudspeaker: Attention berthing crew. Preprare temporary berth number 5. Be advised that the
11249vessel's hull has some considerable damage. Use extra caution when attaching cables.
11250
11251Technician: Rescue team Titan please stand by for deployment. Retrieve all civilians from the
11252ship giving special priority to the wounded.
11253
11254Worker: Valeria, about those people from the red pirate ship. They're small fries right, we're
11255not gonna make anything off of them.
11256
11257Valeria: There's more to the private security forces than money if thats what you're saying.
11258
11259Worker: Did I say that? I need your signature here.
11260
11261Valeria: Receiving message. Can you include this on your report for the next ferry on Aurascion?
11262
11263Technician2: Roger.
11264
11265Worker: What about the other ship?
11266
11267Valeria: Doose will have a little chat with them. Its okay, they'll be talking soon enough. This
11268is more important.
11269
11270Technician2: The pathway is clear, youo can let her in.
11271
11272Valeria: You better get started with that second check.
11273
11274Worker: Whats going on?
11275
11276Loudspeaker: Temporary bay 5. Prepare to pressurize. Gate link connection complete. Prepare to
11277retrieve all civilians at once.
11278
11279// They rush in.
11280
11281Doctor: Please everyone, remain calm. Let the wounded on first!
11282
11283Guard: The area's off limits!
11284
11285Guard2: Its a secure military installation!
11286
11287// Meanwhile...
11288
11289Gene: Hey, we're hungry in here! Give me a bacon and egg sandwich on wheat!
11290
11291Jim: I'll have a cheeseburder with fries!
11292
11293Aisha: I'll have the blue plate special!
11294
11295
11296
11297Suzuka: And broiled eel with some Mitsu soup on the side.
11298
11299Gene: Yeah, and I'll have an egg drop soup to start. Shoot, darn lizard man. Trying to break us
11300by starving us to death stinks.
11301
11302Jim: We're powerless against a military industrial complex like this Gene.
11303
11304Gene: I'm not ready to give up. Just you wait, give me a chance and I'll take 'em down a notch
11305or two.
11306
11307// There's an explosion.
11308
11309Jim: Ah!
11310
11311Gene: Hey, what was that, what the hecks going on?
11312
11313--------
11314
11315Eyecatch
11316
11317--------
11318
11319// Missiles come out of the Midsummer's Night Queen.
11320
11321Female Technician: Missiles inbound from civilian craft.
11322
11323Technician: Multiple explosions in central dock. Partial damage to ships.
11324
11325Valeria: Is this some kind of pirate trap?
11326
11327Doctor: Come in control room! The civilians are armed! ah!
11328
11329Valeria: No! Its a disaster! The pirates have landed and infiltrated thei ship's main room. All
11330hands report to stations immediately.
11331
11332// Meanwhile...
11333
11334Gene: It may be a naval station but they'r helpless if they're attacked from the inside.
11335
11336Jim: They really thought this through.
11337
11338Guard: Freeze. I knew you people were working with them the whole time.
11339
11340Gene: Woah, take it easy there guys, we're no tthe pirates, we're the...
11341
11342// Aisha and Suzuka take out the guards.
11343
11344Gene: Hey yeah, nice move.
11345
11346Aisha: Yeah!
11347
11348Suzuka: Lets not waste anytime.
11349
11350Valeria: If this doesn't let up, we'll all be trapped.
11351
11352Technician: Enemy spotted on range 4.
11353
11354Valeria: What?
11355
11356Technician: One carrier and 3 grappler are closing in.
11357
11358Female Technician: Gun turrets 7, 9 and 11 are failing to respond.
11359
11360Technician: All dock hatches...
11361
11362Valeria: This is straight force, where is Doose? Why can't you reach him? OK, fine, then I'll go.
11363
11364// They make their way through the place.
11365
11366Gene: Not again.
11367
11368Jim: The pressure's okay on the other side so is the gravity.
11369
11370Gene: Aisha, you're on.
11371
11372Aisha: Leave it to me guys, Erh...
11373
11374// She opens the door.
11375
11376Gene: Ah man this looks bad. Hm? Whats that?
11377
11378Jim: Look! Its the dino guy with the security forces!
11379
11380// He's trapped under a collapsed ceiling.
11381
11382Gene: Oh man.
11383
11384Aisha: Poor old guy (some other language prayer)
11385
11386Doose: I'm not dead yet, help me out of this!
11387
11388Jim: He's alive. What should we do?
11389
11390Doose: You're trying to escape now, aren't you? You dirty criminals.
11391
11392Gene: Let you remind you Doose that we're just plain civilians. We're supposed to be evacuated
11393first in case of an emergency.
11394
11395Doose: What did you wretched outlaws do to your guards?
11396
11397Gene: Huh?
11398
11399// They push a pipe underneath the rock to get him out.
11400
11401Doose: Hey, what are you doing now?
11402
11403Suzuka: How generous of you.
11404
11405Gene: Well thank you. Lets do it.
11406
11407Doose: Okay.
11408
11409// He gets out.
11410
11411Doose: Why did you save me?
11412
11413Gene: Eh... it was just my pride.
11414
11415Doose: Your pride huh? What would you know about pride?
11416
11417Gene: A beautiful woman once told me that there are 3 powers in space that I will confront.
11418
11419Doose: What 3 powers?
11420
11421Gene: First the pirates, the military and of course the outlaws.
11422
11423Doose: Hey come back here!
11424
11425Gene: See ya later. Been a lot of fun.
11426
11427Valeria: As long as we can use our missiles. If we don't get rid of that civilian ship we'll be
11428wiped out.
11429
11430Technician3: Its no use. We'll have to clear all the debree out of the way first.
11431
11432Valeria: I thought soldiers were good at improvising.
11433
11434Doose: Valeria.
11435
11436Valeria: Doose, are you alright?
11437
11438Doose: I'm sorry, it seems I was careless.
11439
11440Valeria: Can't you make your way up here? Isn't terrorism your field of expertise?
11441
11442Doose: Affirmative. That red haired outlaw is on his way there right now, be careful.
11443
11444Valeria: Gene Starwind?
11445
11446// Meanwhile...
11447
11448Pirate: Who the heck are ya?
11449
11450// Suzuka takes care of them.
11451
11452Suzuka: Thats one way to get them to pipe down.
11453
11454Gene: Suzuka, the ship is this way.
11455
11456Gilliam: What are you doing back so soon?
11457
11458Gene: Gilliam, whats the status?
11459
11460Gilliam: They said I was to be disarmed so all live rounds and ammunition have been removed. The
11461only usable firearm is in the blaster.
11462
11463Gene: How very thoughtful of them. Ugh. Can you move?
11464
11465Gilliam: My propulsion systems are intact, but with that steel frame on me...
11466
11467Gene: Well c'mon, you have arms you can use, don't you? Lets do it!
11468
11469Technician3: It appears the red pirate ship has started up.
11470
11471Valeria: Gene Starwind, are you there? What are you doing?
11472
11473Gene: Take a guess.
11474
11475Jim: We're skipping out of here. What do you think lady?
11476
11477Aisha: While you're busy fire fighting we're getting out of here.
11478
11479Gene: No, I'm afraid I can't do that guys.
11480
11481Jim: What are you planning on doing then?
11482
11483// They blast the ship to bits.
11484
11485Gene: Work teams don't just sit there! Lets get that frame cleared out of the way.
11486
11487Valeria: Oh Gene, you're helping us? Why are you doing this?
11488
11489Gene: I guess I just don't have the guts to live my life as a wanted man. I've figured that it
11490was more important to lend a hand to those work teams over there. It was the least I could
11491do.
11492
11493Valeria: I appreciate it. Well Mr. Starwind, do you think you can buy us enough time to get us
11494out of here?
11495
11496Gene: Well, thats something else entirely. Are you offering this outlaw some kind of job
11497Ms. Military?
11498
11499Valeria: Alright, a job then. But I'll be expecting more from an outlaw.
11500
11501Gene: (laughs) Give us your data on the enemy.
11502
11503Valeria: We'll find some way to show our appreciation later.
11504
11505Doose: Valeria! You're sending that low life outlaw free to do as he pleases?
11506
11507Valeria: Prepare to launch! And don't waste any time.
11508
11509Gene: Shoot, I scrapped the new paint job.
11510
11511Melfina: Grappler Ships incoming.
11512
11513Gene: Do not mess with me! All internal controllers to full. Lets go!
11514
11515Melfina: Assault anchors on continous control.
11516
11517Gene: Okay!
11518
11519Melfina: Cut Number 4 and Number 2.
11520
11521Gene: Those things are expensive you know.
11522
11523Melfina: Number 3 locked.
11524
11525Aisha: Yes, we got them!
11526
11527Melfina: Taking control of enemy computer.
11528
11529Gene: Hows this?
11530
11531// He blasts the ship.
11532
11533Melfina: Huh? Multiple missiles incoming!
11534
11535Gene: From both sides at once!? Can you dodge them?
11536
11537Melfina: I can't dodge them all! 20% of them will impact.
11538
11539Gene: Come up with something!
11540
11541Jim: You got it, give me a sec.
11542
11543Gene: All yours.
11544
11545Aisha: Ah!
11546
11547// The missiles miss.
11548
11549Aisha: What in the worlds going on?
11550
11551Jim: Hah hah. I just sabotaged their main frame computer by remote control.
11552
11553Aisha: You're a genius Jim.
11554
11555Gene: Way to go buddy.
11556
11557Jim: I couldn't have done it without Melfina.
11558
11559Melfina: 2 enemy ships coming in.
11560
11561Gene: Only 2 anchors left, isn't that right?
11562
11563Melfina: Launching anchors number 5 and 6.
11564
11565Gene: We're going in. Yeah! Eat this! Your powers about the same, huh?
11566
11567Melfina: Ugh! The other ship's coming in now!
11568
11569Jim: I think we're in trouble Gene.
11570
11571Gilliam: Be careful Gene. I'm being accessed by the enemy ship's main computer.
11572
11573// The ship is blown up.
11574
11575Gene: Hey, what the?
11576
11577Doose: Looks like we made it just in time.
11578
11579Gene: Its that lizard!
11580
11581Valeria: Gene, its okay. Let us be the one to handle the carrier, alright?
11582
11583Doose: Hey boy, you said something about there being 3 powers that exist in space. Alright step
11584aside then and I'll show you what the might of the military's power looks like. All ships
11585commence your barge!
11586
11587// They destroy the pirate ships.
11588
11589Gene: Now thats impressive.
11590
11591Doose: Whats the matter boy, do you need me to finish the job for ya?
11592
11593Gene: Hah, watch me. Now you lose!
11594
11595// He destroys the ship. Later...
11596
11597Valeria: We've returned the ammunition we've confiscated. So all thats left is your job fee.
11598You'll take dragonite I hope.
11599
11600Jim: That'll do just fine. Thanks a lot.
11601
11602Valeria: One more thing.
11603
11604Gene: What do you mean one more thing?
11605
11606Valeria: Have you heard anything about the military's involvement in the core system's developing
11607a grappler ship called XGP? Just wondering.
11608
11609Gene: Hmm.
11610
11611Doose: Why don't you just drop it Valeria, we didn't encounter any counterfeit registry data.
11612Part of our information was scrambled thanks to those pirates we ran into. Thats why I'm
11613asking you to just leave it at that, understand?
11614
11615Valeria: Hmm. Okay, I see. Well it seems that this is a pride issue, I got it. Alright, your
11616forgiven you a safe face.
11617
11618Jim: Alright, we'

11629
11630Narrator: Subject, Jim Hawking, Jim to his friends. Age, 11. Height, 140 cm. Weight, 32kg. Blood
11631Type A. A boy genius, he is the son of a renowned hacker known as the computer wizard.
11632The cautious type, Jim is Gene Starwind's polar opposite. Jim always carries a
11633computer with him and dilligently keeps a close eye on profitable information and
11634enemy movement. He is a quick thinker yet he is also very outgoing in his actions. Jim
11635displays many precosous traits that are anything but childlike. Although occassionally
11636victimized and tormented by Gene's inability to plan ahead, Jim has not abandoned him.
11637And judging by the way he manages Gene, Jim clearly looks up to him.
11638
11639Gene: Well thats understandable.
11640
11641Jim: Anyway, I'm totally the kinda guy needed around here to keep Gene's bachelor lifestyle from
11642crashing down around his ears.
11643
11644Gene: Hey, stop making things up!
11645
11646Jim: Well thats my cue to leave!
11647
11648Gilliam: I would also like to ask that you do not disturb my job.
11649
11650Jim: Right!
11651
11652// On the ship...
11653
11654Gilliam: We are navigating under uncommonly safe conditions. There is no unusual activity to
11655report outside or inside the ship. Estimated time of arrival at transport station Symka
116565, 30 minutes.
11657
11658Aisha: An uneventful trip might be a bit of welcome relief to you guys, but it sure doesn't leave
11659much excitement for a live wire like me you know.
11660
11661Jim: It could just be a simple matter of one coincidence after another, but this is a weird crew
11662we collected.
11663
11664Aisha: Hey, I heard that Jim. A child barely out of diapers like you shouldn't be insulting a
11665woman whos mature and worldly.
11666
11667Jim: You heard me?
11668
11669Aisha: You better believe it. The best ears in the whole universe are that of the Ctarl Ctarl.
11670
11671
11672
11673Jim: No way.
11674
11675Aisha: Now thats a good boy Jim.
11676
11677Jim: Yeah, I think I'm just beginning to understand just what it really means to upset you Ctarl
11678Ctarl, I wouldn't want to do that.
11679
11680Aisha: Mmm hmm. Thats a sure sign of you becoming a young man.
11681
11682Jim: Right, whatever you say.
11683
11684Melfina: Jim and Aisha get along so well, its like they're really family.
11685
11686Gene: Hmm? Family?
11687
11688Suzuka: Mm. This tea is delicous.
11689
11690Gilliam: I've detected a ship in the proximity and its rapidly approaching us. I've made
11691several attempts to hail it, but it is not responding to our signal.
11692
11693Gene: An enemy ship!

11699----------------
11700
11701Gene: Why didn't you spot it earlier?
11702
11703Gilliam: I can only surmize that the craft is using some method to evade my sensor system.
11704
11705Gene: Or in other words, you're simply without a clue, right?
11706
11707Gilliam: Unfortunately...
11708
11709Gene: Erh.
11710
11711Jim; Uh oh Gene, that ship's almost on our butt!
11712
11713Gene: Go to grappler combat mode.
11714
11715Gilliam: I'm receiving a signal from the other ship.
11716
11717Gene: Put it on.
11718
11719Mata: You're Gene Starwind of the Outlaw Star? Nothing personal, but I'm here to kill you.
11720
11721Jim: It's an enemy ship.
11722
11723Gene: Could that be one of our old pirate buddies out there?
11724
11725Jim: Probably. The ship's in firing range now Mr. Popular.
11726
11727Gene: Well, lets blow some hot kisses to my devoted fan.
11728
11729Jim: Launching missiles.
11730
11731// The enemy does too.
11732
11733Jim: Its a decoy!
11734
11735Gene: Well you bastard, if its a grappler fight you're itching on, you sure came to the right guy.
11736
11737// The fight continues...
11738
11739Gene: This punk's not so darned tough.
11740
11741// The ship's grappler arms break off and attack.
11742
11743Gene: What the?!
11744
11745Kemy: Mata, this guy's a wimp.
11746
11747Mata: C'mon, lets finish him off.
11748
11749Aisha: What the heck's going on?
11750
11751Gilliam: Warning, pressure levels are rising through out the ship. If they continue to escalate,
11752remaining in combat is not advised.
11753
11754Gene: Yeah, I know that. But these guys are just too quick and hard to out manuever. The
11755fighting capabilities of the Outlaw Star aren't cut out for this. There is one chance.
11756If I could only find an opening. Jim, on my signal I want you to give them everything we've
11757got.
11758
11759Jim: One last resort coming up.
11760
11761Suzuka: Last resort?
11762
11763// They shoot all their missiles then run away.
11764
11765Gene: Ugh... that was too close.
11766
11767Aisha: So your last resort was to run away? What cowards.
11768
11769Gene: Hey, you're alive, aren't you? Gee, I'd appreciate a little more gratitude here.
11770
11771Jim: If you consider that we survived than we haven't really lost.
11772
11773Aisha: Oh you two.
11774
11775Melfina: Well you certainly make a good team.
11776
11777Gene: Well now Melfina thanks but its no big deal you know (laughs)
11778
11779Jim: Somehow it doesn't seem to me like being called a team with Gene is so great.
11780
11781Gene: Is thta right James, what is that supposed to mean?
11782
11783Jim: Huh, what do you mean?
11784
11785Gene: Seems you and I need to have a little chat about a few things.
11786
11787Jim: Oh no we don't.
11788
11789Gene: Yes we do.
11790
11791Gilliam: Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be arriving at Symka 5 momentarily.
11792
11793// They get there.
11794
11795Jim: Well should we go see about repairs and weaponry?
11796
11797Gene: Yeah.
11798
11799Melfina: Hey, where's Suzuka?
11800
11801Aisha: Suzu mentioned that she was gonna take a nap.
11802
11803Gene: Yeah, she has a lot of difficulty working as a team.
11804
11805Jim: Right, maybe but she's not the only one.
11806
11807Aisha: Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go find some fun.
11808
11809Gene: Another one who just can't work as a team.
11810
11811Jim: yeah, like you're one to talk Gene. Hmph.
11812
11813Gene: Yeah, whatever.
11814
11815// Later...
11816
11817Repair Guy: You're kidding, you want me to fix everything and get you weapons on a budget like
11818this?
11819
11820Jim: We were hoping we could work out a deal of some kind.
11821
11822Repair Guy: If you could do some of the labor yourselves I can give you a discount.
11823
11824Jim: What do we do?
11825
11826Gene: Like we have a choice. Go ahead and start on the repairs for now.
11827
11828Jim: Mister, don't cut any corners either. We can tell you're good, just by looking at the
11829equipment you got.
11830
11831Repair Guy: Okay then, fill out the paperwork and I'll jump right on it.
11832
11833Jim: Alright, thanks.
11834
11835// As they leave...
11836
11837Gene: That other ship might be on this station too.
11838
11839Jim: Then shouldn't we look for it?
11840
11841Gene: Nah, if they come at us I'll cut 'em down.
11842
11843Jim: Oh, pretty sure of yourself, aren't you. Or maybe you're just lazy.
11844
11845Gene: Say what?!
11846
11847Jim: You know what I'm saying, we have to remember to keep our guard up. Right, Gene?
11848
11849Gene: Yeah, and one more thing... I'm gonna go out and party! Hah hah, a couple of drinks will
11850help me unwind.
11851
11852Jim: I'm not kidding Gene, I'm really worried about ya.
11853
11854Gene: C'mon, lighten up partner. I need to have a little fun.
11855
11856Jim: Suit yourself, Melfina would you please tag along with this idiot here and keep him out of
11857trouble?
11858
11859Melfina: Sure.
11860
11861Gene: Huh, wha... wait a minute, I was talking about going out alone.
11862
11863Jim: Bang.
11864
11865// There...
11866
11867Gene: What did I do to deserve this... do you want anything else?
11868
11869Melfina: Oh this desert is plenty for me thank you.
11870
11871Gene: Yep, thats great, glad to hear it Melfina.
11872
11873
11874
11875// Back on Outlaw Star...
11876
11877Jim: How come I'm always the one who gets stuck doing everything around here?
11878
11879Gilliam: Its rough, isn't it Jim?
11880
11881Jim: Hey thanks a lot Gilliam, you know you're the only one who notices how much I bust my butt?
11882
11883Gilliam: I have the combat data on the enemy vessel.
11884
11885Jim: Without a strategy we're not gonna beat that other ship. Gene never plans ahead, he makes
11886it up as it goes. But this time its all up to me.
11887
11888Gilliam: Shall I brew up a pot of coffee for you?
11889
11890Jim: Sure, sounds great.
11891
11892// Later...
11893
11894Jim: (yawns)
11895
11896Gilliam: Jim, its already morning, perhaps you should take a break.
11897
11898Jim: Man, I'm exhausted but I can't go to bed yet. Guess a breath of fresh air might do me good.
11899
11900// He wanders around outside.
11901
11902Jim: Hmm? Wha? Wow, you don't see many cats on spacestations. Hey, come here little kitty. Ah,
11903thats a good kitty cat, aw there you go. Boy, you guys really like that huh? Oh? Hey, wait
11904a minute guys don't you want to play some more?
11905
11906// They run off.
11907
11908Jim: Huh? Here kitty kitty kitty. Oh.
11909
11910Hanmio: Hmm? Hmm.
11911
11912Jim: Hi. Are those your kitty cats?
11913
11914Hanmio: They are. Why do you want to know?
11915
11916Jim: Uh... no reason, just wondering.
11917
11918Hanmio: Just wondering?
11919
11920Jim: Mm. Maybe I was just trying to talk to you, is that alright?
11921
11922Hanmio: Why, do you like me or something?
11923
11924Jim: Uh... no I didn't mean it like that, well maybe I do.
11925
11926Hanmio: Hmm?
11927
11928
11929
11930Jim: So, do you live here on this station?
11931
11932Hanmio: Oh no, just passing through on a trip.
11933
11934Jim: So you're travelling with your kats?
11935
11936Hanmio: Yeah, this is Mata and Kemy.
11937
11938Jim: So whats your name?
11939
11940Hanmio: Oh sorry, my name's Hanmio.
11941
11942Jim: My name's Jim Hawking. I'm on a trip too, I just stopped off here at the station for a
11943while.
11944
11945Hanmio: Oh wow, then its fate!
11946
11947Jim: Huh?
11948
11949Hanmio: Don't you see, we were supposed to meet. What are the chances that both our ships would
11950stop here? It was fate Jim.
11951
11952Jim: Fate? I guess so.
11953
11954Hanmio: Well I have to go back and feed the kitties.
11955
11956Jim: Uh... well can you come back again this afternoon?
11957
11958Hanmio: Okay.
11959
11960Jim: Great, I'll see you around 1 o clock.

11970Melfina: Jim? More coffee?
11971
11972Jim: Yeah, thanks. So where's Gene?
11973
11974Melfina: Still sleeping. He drank an awful lot of liquor yesterday.
11975
11976Jim: But Melfina, what went wrong? You were supposed to keep an eye on him.
11977
11978Melfina: Yes, I tried to stop him but when I did he started drinking even more.
11979
11980Jim: Sounds like Gene.
11981
11982Gene: What does?
11983
11984Jim: Hmph, good morning sunshine. There's an inspirational image. Okay, hurry up and eat now we
11985have a busy day.
11986
11987Gene: Yeah, yeah. (yawns)
11988
11989// Later...
11990
11991Jim: Hey, hows it coming mister?
11992
11993Repair Guy: Doing just fine considering I'm not making any profit on this job. But its a great
11994ship. I've never seen this model out here on the frontier before.
11995
11996Jim: Nice one, huh?
11997
11998Repair Guy: Yeah, she's a real beauty.
11999
12000Jim: Good work, keep it up!
12001
12002Repair Guy: Leave it to me!
12003
12004Jim: Hey there, hows it coming along?
12005
12006Gene: Look, I know that we're cutting back on costs, however could you offer a little bit of help
12007with the work load here? This isn't a run of the mill fix it job, what the hells the big
12008idea, you're making me change out the arm's wiring on this thing and thats a lot of work.
12009
12010Jim: Look Gene Starwind, don't you hear that voice deep inside of you telling you to work harder
12011in order to pay for that bar tab you racked up yesterday?
12012
12013Gene: Yes, I was so wrong, what was I thinking? Please Master James, what more can this unworthy
12014servant do for ya?
12015
12016Jim: Well, if you were on a first date, what kind of present would you bring? Whats wrong?
12017
12018Gene: Has my little Jimmy discovered girls? Alright, this is your first step to becoming a man,
12019so feel free to ask the pro anything you want.
12020
12021Jim: Ah, forget it, I'm an idiot to ask advice from a letch like you, not all guys have one thing
12022on their mind sleazeball!
12023
12024Gene: Hey, watch it you little runt, now you're really ticking me off!

12029

12033
12034Hanmio: Guess who?
12035
12036Jim: Hanmio?
12037
12038Hanmio: Thats right!
12039
12040Jim: Um... here.
12041
12042Hanmio: You brought me flowers? Wow! That is so nice.
12043
12044// On the Outlaw Star...
12045
12046Melfina: The X axis checks out normal.
12047
12048Gene: Its less damage than I thought.
12049
12050Melfina: Good news, isn't it?
12051
12052Gene: Yeah, the Outlaw Star's one of a kind.
12053
12054Melfina: It really is a fine ship.
12055
12056Gene: Huh?
12057
12058Melfina: Huh? What is it, whats wrong?
12059
12060Gene: Uh... what do you mean, there's nothing wrong.
12061
12062Melfina: Gene...
12063
12064Gene: I said its nothing!
12065
12066Melfina: Am I... in the way?
12067
12068Gene: No, of course you're not. God... its not like that at all. We need you here Melfina.
12069
12070Melfina: Alright.
12071
12072Gilliam: Please pardon the interuption, but a video mail transmition has just been received from
12073Fred Lou.
12074
12075Gene: Play it.
12076
12077Fred: Gene, my old friend, how are you and your merry troop doing out there in your end of the
12078universe? These messages are expensive, so I'll keep it short. I have news about an
12079interesting place thats related to the Galactic Leyline. I mailed the details to Jim in
12080an encoded file. Well, good luck, take care of yourselves now.
12081
12082Gilliam: End of message.
12083
12084Gene: We'll have to check out the place. Things sure are beginning to liven up around here.
12085
12086Aisha: I can already smell the treasure. Lets get going.
12087
12088Gene: Don't you ever knock?
12089
12090Aisha: Meow.
12091
12092Hanmio: That was fun, huh?
12093
12094Jim: Yeah. Hey, do you think we can meet again tomorrow?
12095
12096Hanmio: Oh yes, we can meet right here, the same time we met today.
12097
12098Jim: Okay then, I'll be here.
12099
12100Hanmio: Me too.
12101
12102// Later...
12103
12104Hanmio: Jim?
12105
12106Jim: Yeah?
12107
12108Hanmio: Thanks for the flowers, I've never gotten any before.
12109
12110Jim: You're welcome, see ya.
12111
12112Hanmio: Bye bye.
12113
12114// Hanmio heads to her ship with the cats, which is the one that attacked the Outlaw Star
12115earlier. They get into position to lift off.
12116
12117Kemy: Hanmio, you haven't forgotten about our mission, have you?
12118
12119Mata: Thats right, you haven't, have you?
12120
12121Hanmio: Will you stop worrying? All I have to do is disable their ship and get rid of Gene
12122Starwind.
12123
12124Mata: Okay, okay, the Outlaw Star hasn't launched yet.
12125
12126Kemy: Hanmio, I wish you hadn't made that a date like that, you should have discussed it with me
12127first.
12128
12129Mata: And me as well.
12130
12131Hanmio: Well I'm sorry, but this is fate. Don't worry about it, I will finish the job.
12132
12133// On the Outlaw Star...
12134
12135Melfina: All systems green.
12136
12137Gene: Alright people, lets launch. Whats wrong Jim, you seem kinda down in the dumps. Oh right,
12138I forgot, how did your big date turn out?
12139
12140Jim: It went just great if its any of your beeswax so back off now lets get out of here. I'm
12141sorry Hanmio, I can't make it.
12142
12143// They head out.
12144
12145Gilliam: Alert, a solitary vessel is closing in on our ship from astern.
12146
12147Aisha: Whats he up to?
12148
12149Suzuka: Oh, he's taking his time, just like a feline toying with a mouse.
12150
12151Gene: Looks like he's trying to screw around with us.
12152
12153Jim: Well then, we're just gonna have to show him what a mouse can do when it gets cornered.
12154
12155Gene: Jim, what course of action would you recommend?
12156
12157Jim: There's more than one way to skin a cat the saying goes.
12158
12159Aisha: What a vile saying.
12160
12161Jim: Don't take it personally Aisha.
12162
12163Hanmio: Going to Grappler Combat Mode.
12164
12165Kemy: Roger.
12166
12167Mata: Ready when you are.
12168
12169Kemy: Same here.
12170
12171Hanmio: Lets finish him off quick, I have an appointment to keep.
12172
12173Mata: Focus.
12174
12175Kemy: Relax.
12176
12177Hanmio: I am relaxed, dont' worry I can sense the power. Its coming now.
12178
12179Gene: Is this really gonna work?
12180
12181Jim: I don't know, but if we do it the same as last time, we'll lose.
12182
12183Gene: Yeah, probably.
12184
12185Jim: Gilliam, cut all external monitors except this one and stand by to activate. Gene,
12186concentrate on piloting. I'll back you up without your instructions. The arms response has
12187been increased to 150%. Aisha, Suzuka, they're all yours.
12188
12189Aisha: Hey this is easy, its just like a game!
12190
12191Gene: Yeah, well keep in mind there's no reset button on this game.
12192
12193Gilliam: This system can only remain operational for one minute. Keep alert and be careful
12194everyone. And good luck everyone.
12195
12196Melfina: Lets all pull together the way a team should. If anyone can do it, we can.
12197
12198Gene: Gosh, I feel like crying. Lets do it.
12199
12200// The fight begins.
12201
12202Gene: Bastard!
12203
12204Jim: Its making another pass!
12205
12206Aisha: (screams)
12207
12208Kemy: Ah!
12209
12210Mata: They killed Kemi!
12211
12212Hanmio: They're gonna get it!
12213
12214Suzuka: I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it now.
12215
12216Hanmio: Let go of Mata!
12217
12218Jim: Launching all missiles!
12219
12220Mata: Ah!
12221
12222Hanmio: Mata! Oh no!
12223
12224Aisha/Gene/Suzuka: Ah!!!!
12225
12226// They win.
12227
12228Jim: Did we get him?
12229
12230Hanmio: A dead ship... the Tora Ata won't respond. Kemy... Mata...
12231
12232// The ship blows up.
12233
12234Jim: Yeah!
12235
12236Gilliam: Although the advesary is defeated, we sustained extensive damage as well.
12237
12238Gene: Then we have no choice. We have to return to Symka 5 for more repair. Now what about cash?
12239
12240Jim: Don't sweat it, we'll figure out something.
12241
12242Gene: What are you so happy about?
12243
12244Jim: Me? No reason.
12245
12246// There, Jim waits but Hanmio never shows up. He heads back to the ship and talks to Gene.
12247(hear no dialogue). Later, the ship takes off.
12248
12249Aisha: We're off to the Galactic Leyline and the treasure!
12250
12251Jim: It must be nice to be a Ctarl Ctarl without any problems.
12252
12253Aisha: Thats not true, a delicate flower such as myself has her share of concerns.
12254
12255Jim: Like what?
12256
12257Aisha: Well, um... I get hungry.
12258
12259Jim: Oh... you call that a concern? Give me a break.
12260
12261Aisha: Well then, what would you call a problem?
12262
12263Jim: The big stuff, like what do people exist for, whats in my heart, who am I, thats what.
12264
12265Aisha: You need a life.
12266
12267Jim: You just don't get it.
12268
12269// A sole flower floats in space as they pass the spot where Hanmio's ship blew up.

12275Outlaw Star
12276Script- Episode 21
12277Grave of the Dragon
12278
12279
12280
12281
12282
12283Narrator: On the homeworlds of most civilized races there exists ancient ruins that defy
12284explanation. This includes Terrans of course and also the Aruba Reba ruins on Ctarl
12285Ctarl, the Sabun Temple on Cor Borno, the Oranotes on Sylgry. No one knows who built
12286these ruins or how they possible could have been constructed. And in space, there
12287exists ruins that are related to a race yet a race of unknown origin. Some researchers
12288have concluded that these ruins might be the product of a super ancient extinct race
12289and they presume that the ancient ruins of earth and other planets may have been built
12290by them as well. But there is no shred of evidence. Remaining enshrouded in mystery,
12291the ruins exist to this day.
12292
12293// On the Outlaw Star...
12294
12295Gene: Is that it?
12296
12297Aisha: Thats the Galactic Leyline?
12298
12299Jim: Look, how many times do I have to tell you, thats not the Leyline.
12300
12301Aisha: Wait a minute... thats what you just said it was.
12302
12303Jim: In another language, but to us its a planet with ancient ruins called Dragon, or Way of the
12304Dragon.
12305
12306Aisha: Right, and thats the Leyline.
12307
12308Jim: If it was, then the survey team would have left a much more thurough report.
12309
12310Gene: C'mon, just give it a rest. Its something we need to see for ourselves, alright? So how
12311about a landing spot?
12312
12313Jim: How bout the same place as the survey? The area down there's level enough so it shouldn't
12314give us any trouble at all.
12315
12316Gene: Okay, prepare for landing.
12317
12318----------------
12319
12320Grave of the Dragon
12321
12322----------------
12323
12324Gene: Man, nothing's here at all.
12325
12326Suzuka: Its no wonder that they haven't got any immigrants.
12327
12328Gene: So, tell us where it is Jim.
12329
12330Jim: Boy, you are really pathetic, can't you do anything without me?
12331
12332Gene: Well you said you were the one who found it right?
12333
12334
12335
12336Jim: Right, but it was tough enough to hack into the Space Archeology Soceity's database. I mean
12337it was surpressed like it was top secret or something. You could show a little gratitude
12338maybe. Got it. Its about 2 kilometers southeast of here.
12339
12340Gene: Two kilometers? Hey, why'd you take us all the way down here when we're so far away?
12341
12342Jim: Are you good enough to land that thing no matter what the situation?
12343
12344Gene: Hmm? Okay, what do you say we treat ourselves to a little hike, huh?
12345
12346// They hike for a while. Eventually, they stop.
12347
12348Gene: Alright... lets take a break here.
12349
12350Jim: So Gene, just what do you suppose the Galactic Leyline is anyway?
12351
12352Gene: Huh? Why are you asking me that now Jim?
12353
12354Jim: I don't know, I was just thinking that Hilda may have told you something thats all.
12355
12356Gene: She didn't say much. She just mentioned that the Kai Pirates wanted it. So of course
12357Hilda's plan was simply to make sure that she got to it first.
12358
12359Aisha: Which means its a treasure.
12360
12361Gene: Yeah right. It'd be nice if it was. Then I'd be able to pay back all the money I owe Fred.
12362
12363Aisha: Its gotta be worth a whole lot more than that.
12364
12365Suzuka: Aisha, how did the Ctarl Ctarl learn about the Leyline?
12366
12367Aisha: Um... Uh... well we, that is uh... its a state secret.
12368
12369Gene: And I suppose you have no idea what the secret might be huh?
12370
12371Jim: Ah... you only came because you were orderred to, must be rough.
12372
12373Aisha: Erh... shut up!
12374
12375Jim: Looks like we're on the money.
12376
12377Gene: I'm starting to get worried about how much longer we're gonna be able to keep up this
12378friendship with her.
12379
12380Jim: What are you talking about?
12381
12382Gene: I'm saying we can't forget that she's still a Ctarl Ctarl officer.
12383
12384Suzuka: Don't you think it would be best to confront her about it?
12385
12386Gene: Well... to tell you the truth, the same goes for you.
12387
12388Suzuka: Are you saying that I have some kind of short comings?
12389
12390Gene: No, not at this moment exactly.
12391
12392Suzuka: And not ever to be perfectly honest.
12393
12394Gene: Yes ma'am. Hey, whats the matter Mel?
12395
12396Melfina: Its nothing.
12397
12398Gene: C'mon...
12399
12400Melfina: When we find the Galactic Leyline, do you think I'll learn anything about myself?
12401
12402Gene: Good question. To be honest, I'm not sure.
12403
12404Jim: What are you saying Gene, of course she will. Isn't that right Mel? Woah.
12405
12406Gene: We won't know for sure until we get there.
12407
12408Melfina: I guess you're right.
12409
12410Jim: Look Gene!
12411
12412Aisha: Hey, over here! I found it! Hurry! Come take a look!
12413
12414Gene: Uh...
12415
12416Aisha: There they are, the ruins of the Leyline!
12417
12418// Meanwhile, in space...
12419
12420Ron: They sure picked another strange planet to go to.
12421
12422Harry: Lets head down Ron. I'll make her mine this time without fail.
12423
12424Ron: Sure. Thats the very reason why we tracked them down all this way. We'll finish this.
12425
12426// Meanwhile, at the ruins...
12427
12428Gene: Awesome...
12429
12430Jim: See that thing in the middle? They call it the Dragon Sphinx. The line that leads up to it
12431is the way of the dragon.
12432
12433Gene: So the way of the dragon is the Leyline.
12434
12435Jim: After a lot of investigating, the survey team had concluded it was probably made about
1243610000 years ago.
12437
12438Gene: Why did the survey team close down their investigation?
12439
12440Jim: Apparantly the direct reason was their funding had dried up just before they could get any
12441final results terminating the exploration. They also mentioned that the Kai Pirates were
12442directly involved.
12443
12444Suzuka: What exactly does that mean?
12445
12446Jim: The pirates interfered by completely cutting off the supply lines of the survey team. So
12447of course it gave them absolutely no choice they had to pull out.
12448
12449Suzuka: A place called the Leyline and the Kai Pirates are involved? Rather suspicious bed
12450fellows indeed.
12451
12452Gene: So? What else did you find out?
12453
12454Jim: Nothing at all. It wasn't in the database. I can tell you that much. Looks like the survey
12455team was able to check out the entry chamber to that Pyramid, but there isn't a single point
12456about it.
12457
12458Aisha: Hey, whats all of this got to do with the Galactic Leyline anyway?
12459
12460Gene: Thats why we came here, to find that out. So lets go check out the survey teams's barracks
12461and see if there's anything there we'll be able to use. C'mon.
12462
12463// Meanwhile, the MacDougal's ship lands. Harry is in a big robot suit.
12464
12465Harry: I'm all ready Ron.
12466
12467Ron: Good. We wait til sunset then close in for our attack. The woman comes first.
12468
12469Harry: We can kill everyone else, isn't that right?
12470
12471Ron: Of course.
12472
12473// Back to the others...
12474
12475Gene: So...? Whats so special about this spot?
12476
12477Jim: Look at the floor. They mention that there might have been something here originally.
12478
12479Aisha: Hmm... What do you think could have been there?
12480
12481Jim: Thats just the thing Aisha, they never did find out. Leyline was originally a term used by
12482the Space Pirates, it comes from Fuang Shi, meaning a path that she collects. They're
12483energy lines. They spoke of it as the Dragon's cosmic breath.
12484
12485Suzuka: Thats all very interesting but it really doesn't tell us anything.
12486
12487Jim: Look, I don't even understand it. If I did, I wouldn't be wasting my time right now, what
12488they're saying is controlling the Leyline means controlling everything. Huh? What is it
12489Mel?
12490
12491Melfina: I feel something coming from here.
12492
12493Gene: You do? Well what are you feeling?
12494
12495Melfina: I'm not sure, its just... ugh...
12496
12497// A dragon symbol appears on the wall, then vanishes.
12498
12499Aisha: Hey, what was that?
12500
12501Gene: Mel.
12502
12503Melfina: I'm not really sure what it was. Now I'm not feeling anything, not anymore...
12504
12505// Later...
12506
12507Jim: Where's Melfina?
12508
12509Suzuka: She said she wanted to be alone for a while.
12510
12511Aisha: She must be in the bathroom.
12512
12513Jim: If she needed to go to the bathroom there's a toilet right over there. I wonder whats wrong.
12514
12515Gene: Let it go Jim. If she wanted to be alone then let her be alone.
12516
12517Jim: Gene, how come you don't care about Melfina? You're always so cold to her.
12518
12519Gene: No I'm not, not really.
12520
12521Jim: Yes you are. You've been acting weird ever since we left to look for the Leyline.
12522
12523Gene: What do you mean?
12524
12525Jim: Its like you're avoiding her or something.
12526
12527Gene: So? I always do.
12528
12529Jim: Not like this!
12530
12531Gene: Of course I do. Where are you going?
12532
12533Jim: I wanna be by myself.
12534
12535Suzuka: I know you didn't ask, but to be honest I agree with Jim.
12536
12537Gene: Hmm?
12538
12539Suzuka: Well yes, is he wrong?
12540
12541Gene: I don't really wanna say I'm sorry. And even if I did, what good would it do anyway?
12542
12543Suzuka: What are you sorry for?
12544
12545Gene: Well I made a promise to Melfina, now I'm not sure I can keep it cause I'm not making any
12546progress with it at all.
12547
12548Suzuka: Oh. A promise?
12549
12550Gene: I told her I'd find out anything I could about her.
12551
12552// Meanwhile, outside...
12553
12554
12555
12556Melfina: I don't know
12557What words I can say
12558The wind has a way
12559To talk to me
12560Flowers sleep
12561A silent lullaby
12562I pray for reply
12563I'm ready
12564Quiet day calling
12565Oh serenity
12566Someone please tell me
12567Oh what is it they say
12568Maybe I will know one day
12569
12570// Harry arrives.
12571
12572Melfina: Harry MacDougal.
12573
12574Harry: Melfina, its okay, come with me. I will never let you be lonely again.
12575
12576--------
12577
12578Eyecatch
12579
12580--------
12581
12582Gene: I was so sure I would come up with an answer by now but I haven't found out anything.
12583
12584Suzuka: Now that isn't true, and you know it. You came all the way to a place like this to
12585investigate it, right? Whats the matter Aisha?
12586
12587Aisha: Got to go to the bathroom.
12588
12589Gene: From what MacDougal told me, Melfina was originally created as part of a navigation system
12590that was designed specifically to reach the Galactic Leyline. But you tell me, is that the
12591sort of answer you'd wanna hear? Of course not, who'd want to hear that? I can't tell her,
12592I just can't.
12593
12594Melfina: Lonely? Do you mean me?
12595
12596Harry: Yeah, thats right.
12597
12598Melfina: You're wrong.
12599
12600Harry: I'll give you everything Melfina, anything you've ever wanted, anything in the world.
12601
12602Melfina: You'd do that?
12603
12604Harry: Thats right. For you I would do that.
12605
12606Gene: I was hoping that we'd learn more about her when we reached the Galactic Leyline, but now
12607I have no idea whats gonna happen when we get there. I don't know if it even has anything
12608to do with Mel, or the answer she's looking for.
12609
12610Suzuka: You have no choice but to go there now.
12611
12612Gene: As it stands, we can't get there.
12613
12614Melfina: You're the only one who's lonely.
12615
12616Harry: Me? Don't be ridiculous. I have my brother, and I have friends too.
12617
12618Melfina: You are lonely, don't you understand? All you can do is take what you want but what you
12619want never seems to be enough.
12620
12621Harry: What I want is you Melfina. C'mon...
12622
12623Gene: I guess I have been kinda cold to her. I just can't be sure if I can actually keep my
12624promise. I don't know what to do.
12625
12626
12627
12628Suzuka: You act so tough on the outside.
12629
12630Gene: I wish I was a little tougher on the inside.
12631
12632Harry: Now...
12633
12634Melfina: No, I can't go, I have someone who has made a promise to me. Someone who has promised
12635no matter what he would help me find what I'm looking for.
12636
12637Harry: Do you mean Gene Starwind? Ugh... would you forget about that guy?
12638
12639Melfina: I can't.
12640
12641Harry: Listen to me, we are the only ones who can really understand each other.
12642
12643Melfina: Understand? I don't even understand myself.
12644
12645Harry: Melfina...
12646
12647Melfina: Please don't.
12648
12649Harry: Will you sing that song again? Sing it for me.
12650
12651Gene: Harry MacDougal! What are you doing?
12652
12653Harry: Erh...
12654
12655Gene: What were you talking about Melfina?
12656
12657Melfina: Gene.
12658
12659Gene: Is there something going on between you two?
12660
12661// Harry arrives in his mech.
12662
12663Harry: You're a dead man Gene, Melfina is now mine.
12664
12665Gene: What are you talking about, she is not!
12666
12667// Meanwhile, in the ruins...
12668
12669Jim: Urh.
12670
12671Aisha: Don't worry about it, grown ups are complicated.
12672
12673Jim: Don't treat me like I'm a kid, quit it!
12674
12675Aisha: But you are a kid. You know what? You should just live your life without worrying about
12676everything.
12677
12678Jim: Yeah. Big talk from someone who always acts like a kid.
12679
12680Aisha: Hmm?
12681
12682Jim: What is it Aisha? Urh.
12683
12684// Ron MacDougal fires at them, they dodge.
12685
12686Suzuka: Gene!
12687
12688// They battle. Meanwhile, Gene & Melfina are running from Harry.
12689
12690Gene: Coward! Shoot!
12691
12692Harry: Gene... where the heck did you go? Show your face!
12693
12694Gene: Sorry, no one's home. Next time try calling first. Alright, game over.
12695
12696// Harry dodges the attack.
12697
12698Gene: Ugh...
12699
12700// Harry starts blasting at Gene.
12701
12702Harry: Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
12703
12704Melfina: Gene!
12705
12706// Meanwhile...
12707
12708Aisha: Erh...
12709
12710// Suddenly the place starts shaking.
12711
12712Ron: What the...
12713
12714Suzuka: It can't be.
12715
12716Aisha: Its an earthquake!
12717
12718Harry: C'mon, just climb on. Huh? What the heck, hold it together. Ah!
12719
12720// His mech falls over.
12721
12722Gene: I don't think I'm gonna miss this time.
12723
12724// Gene kills Harry.
12725
12726Ron: Harry! Harry! What the heck happened, come in Harry, c'mon.
12727
12728Jim: Why the quake have to start up now?
12729
12730Gene: Jim! Come back to the ship now!
12731
12732Jim: Okay.
12733
12734// They head there.
12735
12736Gilliam: Hurry everyone you have to move faster, its a crustal disturbance. If this keeps up,
12737the ship will tumble over.
12738
12739Gene: Listen Melfina, if you don't want to, you don't have to go with us. I'd never force you
12740to do anything. Once we're in space, you can do whatever you want.
12741
12742Jim: Gene, c'mon, what are you doing?
12743
12744Melfina: Take me with you please. I want to go with you, please Gene.
12745
12746Gene: Sure, I'll take you along. I'll take you along with me anytime. C'mon.
12747
12748Melfina: Thanks.
12749
12750// They take off.
12751
12752Aisha: The surface is still shaking, the ruins are nothing but rubble.
12753
12754Gene: Well Mel, it looks like we'll have to find ourselves a new lead.
12755
12756Melfina: Right.
12757
12758// Back on the planet...
12759
12760Ron: Harry! Harry! Harry, hold on, you'll be alright. Oh Harry, what have they done to you?
12761
12762// Outlaw Star parks at a space station.
12763
12764Gene: First up resupply, then rest. Then we'll decide what to do next.
12765
12766Gilliam: I have received a transmition. It is Professor Gwen Khan.
12767
12768Gene: Professor Khan? Oh yeah, is it real time?
12769
12770Gilliam: The transmition is direct from the station.
12771
12772Gwen: Oh my hello, I've been waiting for you gentlemen. Hmm. Yes, I had a feeling you might stop
12773here.
12774
12775Gene: Alright Khan, what are you doing here?
12776
12777Gwen: I could ask you the same thing. I went to a great length... Finally I caught up with you.
12778It wasn't easy, let me tell you.
12779
12780Jim: Why is he following us and how does he keep finding out where we are?
12781
12782Gene: Good question, did you plant a transmitor on us or what?
12783
12784Gwen: Oh my... how did you know that?
12785
12786Gene: What do you mean?
12787
12788Gwen: I planted a bug, well its not exactly a bug but its something like a bug, right? It was
12789back in the planning stages of the XGP. Since the planning stages. But I devised it that no
12790one would know about it but me.
12791
12792Gene: Wait a minute... What do you mean back in the planning stages?
12793
12794Gwen: Forget about that. I have found someone who knows the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline.
12795I actually found someone. Go ask the man yourself. The thing is, he's currently
12796incarsirated at Gay Anna Prison. Apparantly he's been sentenced to 300 years and he's not
12797allowed any visitors, but you need to go there and ask him what the coordinates are Gene,
12798yes you do.
12799
12800Gene: What the heck are you babbling about? There's no way I'm ever going into any prison.
12801
12802Gwen: But Gene, he actually knows what the coordinates are.
12803
12804Gene: There's gotta be somebody else besides him who knows the darn coordinates.
12805
12806Gwen: Yes, but understand those somebodies are high ranking Kai Pirates and I really don't want
12807to get involved with them. I simply can't get involved.
12808
12809Gene: Then I'll get involved. I'd prefer to not listen to that fishy story of yours otherwise I
12810might find myself drowning somewhere. Gilliam, prepare to launch.
12811
12812Gilliam: Already? But we just got here.
12813
12814Gwen: Wait a minute, are you crazy?
12815
12816Gene: I've already made up my mind. All this time we've stayed away from the Kai territory doing
12817nothing but avoiding it. Now I'm gonna go there and make them tell me the secret of the
12818Galactic Leyline.
12819
12820Gwen: No, you musn't you fool! Listen to me!
12821
12822Gene: Forget it.
12823
12824Gwen: Melfina, listen.
12825
12826Melfina: Huh?
12827
12828Gwen: Leyline project command input. It was you who broke my mason plate.
12829
12830// Melfina suddenly becomes paralyzed.
12831
12832Jim: Melfina?
12833
12834Gwen: I was the one who created her control system and command from the beginning. I have now
12835suspended her personality.
12836
12837Gene: What on earth do you think you're doing? Turn her back to normal now!
12838
12839Gwen: Oh I will, don't worry. Once you go to the prison, meet with the man and find out the
12840Galactic Leyline's coordinates.
12841
12842Gene: Ugh... you jerk.

12855
12856// A ship heads towards the prison planet.
12857
12858Prison Transport: Hekaton Kairez orbital station, this is Prisoner Transport 018. I have one
12859prisoner currently onboard. Request docking clearance.
12860
12861Station: Roger, you are cleared.
12862
12863// Meanwhile...
12864
12865Computer: Curse Hawkwind. Sentenced to life imprisonment for class one assault, robbery, theft
12866and other felonious crimes.
12867
12868Warden: This one should prove amusing. Send him down at once.
12869
12870// Gene is frisked.
12871
12872Warden/Robot: Is this your only personal effect?
12873
12874Gene: Yeah, thats my good luck charm. Take care of it, will ya?

12882-----------------
12883
12884// Gene is getting a meal in the cafeteria.
12885
12886Warden/Robot: Whats taking you so long? Take your food and sit down now! I hear you ran like a
12887wild man on the outside, but if you can't learn to move in gravity this low you'll
12888never survive for very long in here, Curse. You're so pathetic, 3 G's is nothing.
12889Up in the punishment facility at the north pole, 10 G's is what you can expect.
12890At this rate you'll die of massive heart failure or brain aneurysm before your
12891sentence is up.
12892
12893// He sees another guy.
12894
12895Warden/Robot: Hey, what're you wobbling around for, start walking blast you! Stand up and pull
12896yourself together you good for nothing.
12897
12898Saiyo: Easy, c'mon now Jake, you don't want to make any trouble for the warden.
12899
12900Warden/Robot: Saiyo, this is none of your business.
12901
12902// He tries to punch him, but he dodges.
12903
12904Warden/Robot: Don't try to dodge me, hold still idiot!
12905
12906Saiyo: Heh heh, sorry abou thtat, I guess I slipped.
12907
12908Warden/Robot: Silence, I've had enough of your yapping!
12909
12910// Gene hits him with a stool.
12911
12912Warden/Robot: And what do you think you're doing?
12913
12914Gene: Why don't you put down the puppet for a minute and come out and meet me face to face like
12915a real man.
12916
12917Warden/Robot: You scum bag, you'll pay for this!
12918
12919// He knocks out Gene.
12920
12921Gene: Ugh...
12922
12923Saiyo: Hey, wait a minute ugh..
12924
12925// Him too...
12926
12927Warden/Robot: You two think you're smart, huh? Well you just earned 24 hours in the punishment
12928facility. Crash, you just arrived at Gay Hanna so its time you learn what real
12929fear means. Let this service as a final warning to all you other prisoners. You're
12930under constant surveilance. There's no use trying to escape at this prison and
12931theres no defying me either! Hah hah hah!
12932
12933// While waiting to get on the train...
12934
12935Saiyo: You've got a serious death wish buddy. Deliberately trying to start something like that.
12936
12937Gene: And what do you call what you were doing?
12938
12939Warden/Robot: I don't wanna hear another word from either of you, now get on board.
12940
12941// He pushes them in. The train starts going.
12942
12943Gene: Ah... that guy really likes to play rough doesn't he...
12944
12945Saiyo: Ah... he's always like that.
12946
12947Gene: Maybe I shouldn't have pushed the limit so much.
12948
12949// A flashback to back on the Outlaw Star...
12950
12951Gene: You mean planet Hekaton Kairez?
12952
12953Gwen: Yes, thats right. Its a strange world thats very massive for an earth type planet. It has
12954an incredibly high rotational speed, and a gravity of 1 G along its equator, its shaped
12955like an intricate string of beads on an abacus.
12956
12957Gene: Hey Gilliam!
12958
12959Gilliam: Yes, just a minute, I'll pull up the data.
12960
12961Aisha: Whats an abicus anyway?
12962
12963Gwen: The point is, its not the shape thats the problem, its the gravity. The force pushing down
12964on the planet varies depending on where you are. Its a crushing 10.4 G's on the poles
12965even though its still 3 G's where the prison is situated.
12966
12967Jim: Then I guess you'd weigh 3 times what you'd normally weigh.
12968
12969Gwen: Thats right Jim, what a smart boy to figure that out so quick. At any rate there isn't
12970a single area in the prison where the gravity is stabilized. As a matter of fact, for
12971security reasons you can't find a gravity stabilized area anywhere on the entire planet.
12972Due to its high rotational speed, the planet acts as a huge dynamic generating a
12973powerful magnetic field around the globe. The result is that radios and radar don't
12974transmit or receive as well on the surface.
12975
12976Aisha: And in human time 1 day is 74 minutes just thinking about it makes me sick.
12977
12978Suzuka: I didn't realize that Gay Hanna prison is located on Hekaton Kairez, no wonder no one
12979has ever gotten out alive. Gene, you've got to be careful you're usual recklessness won't
12980serve you well if you want to take on this mission.
12981
12982Aisha: She's right, use your head this time if you jump in without thinking its all over.
12983
12984Gene: Yeah, like you're one to talk.
12985
12986Jim: Gene... c'mon.
12987
12988Gene: You say that no one's ever gotten out of there huh? Alright then, what are we waiting for?
12989
12990// A little later...
12991
12992Gene: Where's Suzuka and Aisha?
12993
12994Jim: Just like you said, Aisha's with Mel and Suzuka's sticking to Gwen Khan like glue.
12995
12996Gene: Alright Jim now don't let your guard down.
12997
12998Jim: Mmm.
12999
13000Gene: Khan, did you get a chance to look into what I was asking for?
13001
13002Gwen: Yes, as a matter of fact I've got it right here with me, a monopole. I don't know what
13003you're going to use it for, but bear in mind that its even more expensive and more rare
13004than Dragonite so make sure you return it to me when you're finished using it.
13005
13006Gene: Yeah, sure I got it, I understand what you're saying. So anyway, were you able to rig it
13007like we discussed?
13008
13009Gwen: Of course I camoflaged it well if I do say so myself. It's an incredible piece of work that
13010would cost a small fortune, it was made by someone else.
13011
13012Gene: If you do say so yourself. See you later Jim, I'm counting on yah.
13013
13014Jim: Yes sir.
13015
13016// In the present, the train stops.
13017
13018Gene and Saiyo: Erh...
13019
13020// They are thrown in their cells.
13021
13022Gene: Ugh... No small talk just get right to the right stuff. Oh... this crummy bed's in here
13023just to torture us. I can't get up, give me a hand.
13024
13025Saiyo: Hey, take it easy newbie. Don't move around. Don't worry, the Warden isn't listening. His
13026don't have the budget to lay wires all the way up here just to allow him to run the robots
13027and cameras to keep an eye on us.
13028
13029Gene: So why did they build this thing in the first place if they can't even see us?
13030
13031Saiyo: As a lesson to all the other prisoners. Its over kill though there's no chance you can
13032run away on this tin cheap black hole.
13033
13034Gene: Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna pass out if I don't get out of here soon.
13035
13036
13037
13038Saiyo: Heh heh heh. I'm surprised you were able to talk this much on your first trip to the
13039cooler. I'm Saiyo Wong. Who are you?
13040
13041Gene: Well isn't that a coincidence. That makes things easier. Saiyo Wong. How perfect. You're
13042the man that I came in here to see.
13043
13044Saiyo: What did you say?
13045
13046Gene: I wanted to ask you the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline.
13047
13048Saiyo: The Galactic Leyline? Why don't you tell me who you are first boy.
13049
13050Gene: Just an ordinary outlaw passing bye.
13051
13052Saiyo: What are you, an idiot? Even if I did tell you the coordinates, there's no way to get out
13053of here. Relax kid, now that you're in you'll never get out.
13054
13055Gene: You got to be kidding. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in here rotting in a
13056prison cell? If you want to, you can tag along with me. Are you in, or are you out?
13057
13058Saiyo: Moron.
13059
13060Gene: Whats that? Hey man, whats it gonna be, huh Saiyo? C'mon Saiyo, what do you say?
13061
13062// Later, when they are brought back...
13063
13064Gene: Pretty nice of them to bring us back after only one day don't ya think? I can't believe
13065that 3 G can feel so light, I'm cruising.
13066
13067Saiyo: If you do something dumb like jumping your bones are gonna snap in 2 like toothpicks pal.
13068
13069
13070
13071Gene: Oh well, look who's talking. I knew if I was annoying enough you'd finally say something.
13072So Wong, are you interested in what I'm talking about?
13073
13074// Suddenly, screens all around the room turn on.
13075
13076Gene: Huh? What the hecks that?
13077
13078Warden: Gentlemen, its been a long while, but a courageous if not foolish man has revealed
13079himself among our distinguished inmate guest list. That man is none other than Nicolai
13080Ilovich who was invited to this prison 17 days ago sole standard time. He destroyed an
13081entire prison wall using explosives that he had carefully hidden inside his body before
13082attempting his failed escape from this facility. You certainly don't see a heroic
13083attempt like this very often.
13084
13085// The prisoners sound excited, like they think he might make it out.
13086
13087Warden: Why don't we take a look and see how he's making out shall we?
13088
13089// The screens switch over to him in the desert, being chased by the robots.

13096
13097// The robots catch Nicolai.
13098
13099Nicolai: Ah!!!!!!!
13100
13101Saiyo: Now do you get it? At 3 G there's no where to hide in that barren wasteland even if you
13102got beyond those walls they're on top of you before you know it and even if you managed to
13103lose them the only place you can run is to the equator where the gravity is weak. They'll
13104circle ahead of you and its all over. There's no way to escape from this prison, end of
13105story.
13106
13107Gene: Yeah? Well how do you know it won't work if you never even tried it?
13108
13109Saiyo: What a moron...
13110
13111// Later they eat. Saiyo leaves when Gene sits next to him. In the laundry room...
13112
13113Robot/Warden: Alright, next in line.
13114
13115Gene: Hey, wuz up Wong.
13116
13117Robot/Warden: There's absolutely no talking.
13118
13119Gene: C'mon, whats the big deal, I just wanted to say hi.
13120
13121// He gets punched. Later, in the sauna room...
13122
13123Gene: I was wondering what kind of monster I'd find here when I heard that you're a big shot in
13124the battle group, and outfit that gives the Kai Pirates a run for the money. Eh... but
13125you're just another pathetic little man waiting to die of heart failure I guess.
13126
13127Saiyo: And here I thought you had potential, but you're just another dumb crook who only knows
13128how to shoot off his mouth and make an idiot of himself.
13129
13130Gene: Hey, I'm not a criminal, I'm an outlaw.
13131
13132Saiyo: If you wanna call yourself an outlaw fine. But don't let that reckless death wish of
13133yours get anybody else hurt.
13134
13135Gene: Oh yeah? Reckless? Well no outlaw would sit around and wait to die in this god forsaken
13136prison when he's got nothing left to lose. If there's the slimmest chance no matter how
13137small, you have to go for it, never give up hope. And thats what it means to be an outlaw.
13138
13139Saiyo: You think I'm putting up with this because I want to? Well you're right! There's nothing
13140left to lose in this dark hole. Do you know that no one has ever served out his sentence
13141and left this prison alive? Everybody's heart eventually gives out and they die before
13142their sentence is up. This gravity is too much for humans to survive. The place is a
13143total bloodless execution ground.
13144
13145// He leaves.
13146
13147Gene: Huh? You guys want something?
13148
13149Fat Guy: If I'm not mistaken, you're the little moron who's been bugging Mr. Wong lately.
13150
13151Gene: You Saiyo's gang?
13152
13153Fat Guy: Heh heh, you better watch your mouth pretty boy. What you don't understand is that
13154Mr. Wong looks after us even if it involves going up against the warden. A punk like you
13155doesn't have any business hanging around.
13156
13157Gene: If he's content to be the leader of a pack of weak dogs then Saiyo Wong outta just quit
13158while he's ahead.
13159
13160Fat Guy: You idiot!
13161
13162// They fight. In the cafeteria...
13163
13164Guy: Whats all the ruckus about?
13165
13166Prisoner: They say that there's a fight in the sauna room.
13167
13168Guy: When they know they'll get sent to the cooler? Who's the moron?
13169
13170Prisoner: Looks like Jose and the others are putting the guy in his place.
13171
13172// Gene comes in and sits down.
13173
13174Gene: Who's side are you on anyway? Man, I'm taking garbage from everybody. Aren't you fighting
13175the wrong guy? Ever thought about giving that warden a hard time instead of me?
13176
13177Saiyo: You stand out too much. Don't you get it? You've got too much spirit.
13178
13179Gene: Whats that supposed to mean?
13180
13181Saiyo: Everybody wants to escape from here so bad they can't stand it but they can't do anything
13182about it. They can either do something crazy and go like Illovich or they can give up on
13183everything and wait to die. To people like that you stand out like an eyesore because
13184you got too much spirit.
13185
13186Gene: Does that go for you too?
13187
13188Saiyo: What was that pal?
13189
13190Gene: Whats about you Wong, are you throwing in the towel and giving up on everything too?
13191
13192Saiyo: Thats what I mean! Thats the attitude thats ticking everybody off! As if I'd ever give up
13193hope and wait to die in a concrete bunker like this.
13194
13195Gene: Okay then, what would you do if I told you I have a surefire escape plan to get us out of
13196this place?
13197
13198Saiyo: Huh?
13199
13200// Later, Gene and Saiyo fight.
13201
13202Prisoner: Ringside seats, we have a fight on!
13203
13204Guy: Mr. Wong's finally gonna teach a lesson to that smart alleck new guy.
13205
13206Criminal: Don't let those stupid robots interfere!
13207
13208Gambler: Anybody out there wanna put a meal on the new guy?
13209
13210Person: Where is it, where's the fight?
13211
13212Robot/Warden: Stop it immediately, both of you!
13213
13214// They tear apart the draws, grabbing their stuff.
13215
13216Saiyo: Get ready to die you punk!
13217
13218Gene: You're first loser!
13219
13220Robot/Warden: Hold it, what do you think you're doing? If you're got that much energy, I'll make
13221sure you burn it off. 48 hours in the punishment facility. Starting right now.
13222
13223Saiyo: Whatever you say.
13224
13225Gene: Take it easy, getting mad's bad for your blood pressure.
13226
13227Robot/Warden: Not another word!
13228
13229Gene: I'm asking you once again, can't you yell at anybody face to face instead of through a
13230camera lens?
13231
13232Robot/Warden: You, you little...
13233
13234// He knocks Gene out. Gene wakes up on the train.
13235
13236Gene: Ah man that hurts.
13237
13238Saiyo: You just had to open your mouth didn't ya? Jeez, I still can't believe I trusted an idiot
13239like you. I guess I must be losing my edge or something. So anyway, did you get what you
13240were looking for in there?
13241
13242Gene: Yeah, how about you?
13243
13244Saiyo: You mean this?
13245
13246Computer: Warning. Warning. Abnormality on linear car 002. Car is out of control and running
13247wild.
13248
13249Warden: What the heck?!
13250
13251Saiyo: Are you absolutely sure that doing this is such a great idea?
13252
13253Gene: Everything's gonna be alright, even if we try and jump the train tracks to the next stop
13254the gravity's so strong that we outta stop right away. Atleast I think so. I hope it works.
13255
13256Saiyo: Hey, wait a minute.
13257
13258Warden: Get to work, do something!
13259
13260Computer: I'm sorry, but its totally out of my control. To stop the train its necessary to shut
13261down the whole transport system. Do I have permission to iniate a shut down?
13262
13263Warden: I can't do that, are you crazy?!
13264
13265Computer: Linear car 002 has crashed through the punishment center gates now plowing through
13266snow field.
13267
13268Warden: They think theyan outsmart me do they? Capture them at once and bring them here! I'll
13269make them wish they'd never been born.
13270
13271// Outside...
13272
13273Saiyo: Everything's going smoothly according to your plans so far. But what do we do now huh?
13274
13275Gene: Thats where this baby comes in.
13276
13277Saiyo: Ah... the good luck charm, what do you plan on doing with that thing? You gonna start
13278praying or something?
13279
13280Gene: See, its not an ordinary compass. Its got 2 monopoles, magnetic particles with just one
13281pole except its designed to resemble a regular compass.
13282
13283Saiyo: You got some kind of trick up your sleeve?
13284
13285Gene: Yeah, something like that. HuH?
13286
13287// The robots arrive.
13288
13289Robot/Warden: Curse, Wong, give up there's no escape. If you surrender peacefully I'm make sure
13290you are granted a quick death. (laughs)
13291
13292Gene: Yeah, why don't you get lost slow poke. This really is too bad Wong, just when we were
13293having a wonderful time here.
13294
13295Saiyo: What, hey!
13296
13297Gene: Okay now, listen up. If I'm not mistaken, this is the north pole, right? Now the south
13298attracts and the north repels. But a magnetic monopole plays by its own rules because it
13299only has one poles. So the south monopole would be pulled into the ground, and conversely
13300the north monopole would be sent flying upward on the magnetic field line.
13301
13302// He puts it in his pants and he rises in the air. Saiyo grabs on to him.
13303
13304Saiyo: Even if somebody came up with such a crazy idea who in their right mind would ever believe
13305it would work? How high are you planning on going up anyway?
13306
13307Gene: That depends on when our ride shows up. But in the meantime, I suggest that you start
13308praying that my buddies have the good sense to fly by as low as possible.
13309
13310Saiyo: You're nutz Curse, I'm never gonna work with you again I mean it!
13311
13312Gene: Hah hah. I may as well tell you now, my real name's not Curse, its Gene. Gene Starwind.
13313
13314// In the Outlaw Star...
13315
13316Suzuka: I'm picking up a magnetic signature. Its currently rising up over the north pole.
13317
13318Aisha: You guys, its Gene.
13319
13320Jim: Okay pretty much empty over the pole. We're going in there and do a catching go at full
13321speed.
13322
13323Gilliam: Understood.
13324
13325Computer: Sub-ether signature detected above the planet. And is descending near the north pole.
13326
13327Warden: Huh, what did you say? Huh? Impossible! That can't be happening!
13328
13329// They get into the ship.
13330
13331Warden: This can't be! After them! If they get away I'll be ruined, do you understand? After
13332them, hunt them down now!
13333
13334Computer: No one can get to them in time, not even from the station's orbit.
13335
13336Warden: Darn them!
13337
13338// Later, on the ship...
13339
13340Gene: Man, I bet that Warden's having a fit right about now. I sure would love to see his face.
13341
13342Saiyo: Get serious, even if he's crying I don't ever want to see his face again.
13343
13344Gene: Hah hah hah, thats for sure.
13345
13346Jim: Hey Gene, great job.
13347
13348Gene: Thanks.
13349
13350Gwen: Well there, well done, well done. Young man, you should be quite proud of the work you've
13351done. What about the Leyline? Have you asked about the Leyline's coordinates? Haven't
13352you asked yet?
13353
13354Gene: Mel comes first.
13355
13356Gwen: Yes, thats right, I'm sorry. Oh what a bother, what a bother. Breakfast is signaled with
13357a silver spoon.
13358
13359// Melfina wakes up.
13360
13361Jim: Hey, it worked!
13362
13363Aisha: You okay Melfina?
13364
13365Melfina: Huh, what? Gene, you look different somehow, when did you change your clothes?
13366
13367Gwen: Well you're satisfied, right? Now hurry up and ask abou the Leyline.
13368
13369// Suzuka knocks him out.
13370
13371Suzuka: Sorry, but somebody had to put you in your place.
13372
13373Aisha: Thats right, the guy's a moron.
13374
13375Gene: You can use this guy's spaceship if you hurry up. He's out cold now. In return do me a
13376favor and ditch him somewhere along the way.
13377
13378Saiyo: Would that be after I get him?
13379
13380Gene: Look, I told you before, I'm an outlaw, not a criminal.
13381
13382Saiyo: I'll leave him alone. Analyze this when you get a chance, there's a data file in it.
13383The password's Maranda. It also happens to be my daughters name.
13384
13385Gene: Thats a nice name.
13386
13387Saiyo: Of course it is, I'm the one who gave it to her. Anyway, the data file contains the
13388Leyline's coordinates. After that you can go get yourself killed for all I care. Never
13389want to see an outlaw again.
13390
13391// They laugh. Saiyo takes off in Khan's ship.
13392
13393To Be Continued...

13399Hot Springs Planet Tenrai
13400
13401
13402
13403
13404
13405Narrator: Vast though space may be, there are only a handful of planets which are famous as tourist attractions. Among these, the name of the planet Tenrei, is famous among many
13406races despite the fact that is an Earth-type tourist spot. Further, it's history is
13407colored by legend. There were three pioneers who came to this planet, which was
13408believed to be uninhabited. They came to this world in search of something called
13409"mana", but what they actually found was one hot spring after another. Seemingly
13410overnight, the beautiful sorceress had transformed this world into a tourist planet!
13411More than 100 years after it's development, some say they still live. Only a tourist
13412planet could have a history like this one.
13413
13414Aisha-"Oh, wow..."
13415A panoramic view of the OLS gang overlooking the city on Planet Tenrei. ()
13416Jim - "Are there really going to be any wizards on a planet like this?"
13417Gene - "I heard there are so we had to come here!"
13418Jim - "But why is everybody dressed like that?". Skimpy bathing suits.
13419Host of hot springs - "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Hot Springs World."
13420Host - "Come along, you'll need to go through immigration first. Right this
13421way."
13422Individually they are pushed, into the gate rather rudely by the cities
13423official mascot greeters.
13424Aisha - "What's the big idea?!"
13425Suzuka - "How rude!" Slaps one of the greeters who manages to through her in
13426clumsily anyway. ()
13427
13428--------------
13429
13430Hot springs Planet Tenrei
13431
13432--------------
13433
13434The doors of immigration open up to see that all five of our favorite
13435characters are in bathing attire.
13436
13437Host - "Are you ready everyone ?"
13438Jim - "Immigration huh?".
13439Aisha - "and all we did was change clothes".
13440Host - "All right then! Please enjoy your visit!".
13441Intercom - "An uphill train will soon be arriving on track two. Due to
13442danger, please stand behind the white line."
13443Jim - "Gene."
13444Gene - "What?"
13445Jim - "Nobody knows anything about wizards."
13446
13447Going through flashbacks - three different groups of people - "We never heard
13448of em' " Shaking their heads back and forth in a
13449negative manner.
13450
13451Gene - "They've got to be here! Every time I've gone looking for Caster
13452shells, I heard rumors about wizards who could make them
13453on planet Tenrei!"
13454Jim - "Maybe they were messing with you!" ()
13455Aisha - "I've never heard rumors like that from a Ctarl-Ctarl, either."
13456Suzuka - "I hear that Casters and their shells are products of a lost
13457technology that no one can produce anymore."
13458Gene - "B-But what about that old woman we met?!"
13459
13460Another flashback
13461Old woman - "Go to the temple at Mt. Nantai, then." "Atchoo"- sneezes.
13462
13463Gene - "We'll learn something when we go to the temple the old woman
13464mentioned!"
13465Jim - "There was something fishy about that old woman, though We finally know
13466the coordinates of the Galactic Layline, so we
13467should go there already!"
13468Gene - "We came here to look for Caster shells because we don't know what's
13469going to be waiting for us at the Layline remember!"
13470Aisha - "Well this is a Hot Springs planet so we might aswell enjoy it!"
13471Suzuka - "Right. By some coincidence, it's on the way to the Layline, after
13472all."
13473Jim - "Fine see if I care if the pirates get there first."
13474Gene "- "Those pirates are still screwing around somewhere!" now on the train
13475Melfina - "uhm - what's a hot spring ?"
13476Jim - "Right, You've never been to a hot spring before, have you, Mel?"
13477Melfina - "No"
13478Gene - "Well a hot spring is where you...." Broken up by the train intercom.
13479Intercom - "As a part of customer service, we will now flood the train with
13480hot water."
13481Splash, the car gets flooded and everyone soaked up to their necks. ()
13482Jim - "Basically a hot spring is something like this."
13483Melfina - "Oh okay!"
13484Aisha - "They call this hot...?"
13485Suzuka - "This has no charm at all."
13486
13487
13488
13489Arriving to Mt. Nantai hot springs center, Jim slides down a huge swirling
13490water slide and lands in the pool only to be
13491greeted by some busty bikini ladies.
13492Pool girl 1 - "Oh, wow"
13493Pool girl 2 - "My, what a cute little boy! he's just my type!"
13494Pool girl 1 - "Maybe we should have some fun with him, huh?"
13495Jim - "hewhehew" Being shy and awkward
13496Pool girl 3 - "He's so cute!"
13497Pool girl 4 - "Hey play something with us!"
13498
13499
13500
13501Camera pans to Aisha, Suzuka and Mel in a different area of the pool.
13502Aisha - "They call this hot?"
13503Suzuka - "This has no charm at all."
13504Camera back to Jim being smothered with the pool girls breasts.
13505Jim - "Hey, where's Gene? he isn't here. It's got to be pretty serious if
13506that pervert isn't here." ()
13507Camera now to Gene who is hiking up the mountain.
13508Gene - "Atchoo," "Did I catch a cold or something?"
13509Gene - "This is the place" Entering a temple half way up the mountain.()
13510Gene - "What the heck are those?" (staring at immense statues of druids).
13511Reaching into his tropical shirt for his Caster gun, it mysteriously begins
13512to swirl and activate.
13513Gene - "Huh, what's going on here ?"
13514"HAHAHAHA" (a laugh in the distance).
13515Faceless voice - "Just as I was thinking that we don't get any visitors here
13516in the inner temple"
13517Faceless voice - "someone arrives who has one of those old abominations, and
13518is red haired as well." Shows himself standing on
13519one of the statues shoulders.
13520Gene - "Are you one of the wizards?"
13521Nameless wizard - "Wizard? I see. That name may be appropriate. The day we
13522call ourselves priests is at an end."
13523Gene - "Can you really make shells for this thing ?"
13524Nameless wizard - "I suppose."
13525Gene - "I came here to ask you for shells."
13526Nameless wizard - "Seeing how you've come all this way, would you mind buying
13527something as a souvenir?" Rolls out a cart full of
13528trinkets.
13529Nameless wizard - "How about a Mt. Nantai good luck charm? Or how about this
13530T-shirt which has the same effect as the charm."
13531Gene puts his hand on his face in disgust then knocked over the cart.
13532Gene - Who cares about any of that?! Are you really one of those
13533wizards?!"(screaming).
13534Gene - "Can you really make Caster shells?!"(still screaming).
13535Nameless wizard - "How dare you?! How dare you?! How dare you?!"(screaming
13536louder then Gene).
13537Nameless wizard - "I haven't named myself yet. But I'll have you know that
13538I'm Ark Manaf. 12th head priest!"
13539Gene - "12th head priest ...?" replied in a soft voice, looking surprised.
13540Ark - "But all that is in the past." back in a normal tone "For now, buy a
13541souvenir." Picks up the junk off the floor fallen from the
13542cart and hands it to Gene.
13543Now at the center of the inner temple with another wizard or priest.
13544Ark - "Originally, "Caster" wasn't the name of a gun, but rather a wizard who
13545cast spells."
13546
13547
13548
13549Ark - "Long ago, the gun was called a spell gun. I always though the shells
13550effect was almost like Tao spells."
13551Gene - "But are they really magic ?"
13552Ark - "Something caused the mana, the magic power of this planet, to
13553disappear."
13554Ark - "To maximize the power of the little mana left. A technique to place
13555spells into cartridges was developed. that's what
13556brought about the Casters."
13557Ark - "There are 20 types. Each with a different effect. I've found 17 kinds
13558of shells but I've never seen a #4, #9 or a #13."
13559Ark - "Because they are special. A #9 is now all but impossible to find."
13560Gene - "Why?"
13561Hadul - "Lord Ark is lunch ready yet?"
13562Ark - "Only Hadul here can make a #9."
13563Hadul - "I can't hear very well."
13564Gene - "In other words, there's no beating the advance of years huh? So what
13565about #4 and 13?"
13566Ark - "I can make #13's but #4..." ()
13567Gene - "#4 ...?"
13568Ark - "The woman on Mt. Nyotai."
13569Gene - "Oh then I'll have to go there too."
13570Ark - "I wouldn't go there if I were you!"
13571Gene - "Why not ?"
13572Ark - "That woman, that damn woman ..."
13573Ark - "Long ago, the tree of us came here in search of the power of mana. It
13574was a long hard journey."
13575Gene - "you don't say ?"
13576Ark - "Instead of looking for mana, she found one hot spring after another
13577and transformed this world into a tourist planet!"
13578Gene - "So what's wrong with that ?"
13579Ark - "Plenty! to top it off, she banned men from the top of Mt. Nyotai,
13580barring even me from entering!"
13581Ark - "She lords over everybody like a queen over there. And she totally
13582ignores me!" Said in an angry voice.
13583Gene - "I don't have the slightest idea what your so mad about."
13584Ark - "You say you want a #4 shell so your going to climb Mt. Nyotai right?"
13585Gene - "Y-yeah" (unsure of what lies ahead).
13586Ark - "Take this and record whatever it is that Urt's up to!" (hands him a
13587small video-cam). "If at all possible get some dirty
13588pictures of Urt!"
13589Gene - "what? did you say dirty pictures of Urt?"
13590Hadul - "I want to see that too! If you let me see that a #9 shell is a
13591bargain!" (then falls down)
13592Gene - "what's with the dirty old man?"
13593Ark - "it's just one of his fits"
13594Gene leaves the temple.
13595Gene - ""go take dirty pictures" he says." ()
13596Then in a flashback
13597Ark - "I'll make a #13 shell! just make sure you get those pictures!"
13598Gene - "Oh brother..." Shaking his head.
13599Reunited with the gang on another train.
13600Suzuka - "They say Mt. Nyotai is a genuine hot spring, so I'm looking forward
13601to it."
13602Aisha - "I sure hope this ones a hot hot spring!"
13603Gene - "Must be nice being as relaxed as you guys, I don't have that kind of
13604luxury right now." (camera pans to the mountain)
13605"That's mount Nyotai huh!"
13606Now in the Mount. Nyotai hot spring.
13607Suzuka - "Now this is the charm of a real hot spring."
13608Melfina - "Oh, this is the charm of a hot spring huh?" ()
13609Melfina and Suzuka bathe contently while Aisha swims back and forth then
13610jumps out.
13611Aisha - "This isn't hot! This isn't hot! This isn't hot!"
13612Aisha - "Aren't there any springs around here that're hotter than this ?"
13613Aisha - "I want a Hot spring! A Hot spring! A Hot spring!" Marches off in
13614search. ()
13615Melfina - "Hey Jim can you hear me?" (Women and men springs are separated due
13616to nakedness) "How's the water temperature
13617over there?"
13618Jim - "I'm scared!" (all alone) "how come Gene Isn't here at a time like
13619this?"
13620Camera then goes to Gene which is knee deep in snow due to the altitude,
13621climbing up Mount. Nyotai
13622Gene - "This cold is gonna kill me." Holding the video camera in position, he
13623sees a sign.
13624Sign - "No Men Allowed!! Mount Nyotai Temple."
13625Gene - "No men allowed huh! Suits me fine!" Keeps walking past the sign.
13626Gene then hit a trip wire with his ankle and sets off a trap.
13627Gene - "what the--?" Having realized what he's done.
13628All of a sudden a flurry of snowballs followed by a huge boulder sized
13629snowball fly down the mountain taking Gene with
13630it.()Rolling all the way down he falls into one of the women's hot springs,
13631to see a naked female alien.
13632Naked alien - "OH!"
13633Gene - "I didn't come here to get an eyeful!"
13634Gene Back again knee deep in snow climbing up the mountain.
13635Gene - "I won't fall for this trap this time!"
13636But Sure enough, his ankle again met the trip wire and set off another flurry
13637of snowballs followed by a huge one to send
13638him tumbling down the mountain again. Camera goes to Suzuka in the hot spring
13639bath, sipping on tea.
13640Suzuka - "this is what I call a hot spring!"
13641Interrupted by a splash caused by a mass of snow and Gene. Both Melfina and
13642Suzuka Stand up and grab their towels.
13643Melfina - "Gene?" (Surprized)
13644Suzuka - "What's the meaning of this? This is the women's bath!"
13645Gene - "I didn't come here to get an eyeful!"
13646Getting up out of the water and heading back up the mountain. He then pauses
13647and turns to take a peak at Suzuka and
13648Melfina in their naked splendor. Then Suzuka Rushes swats him with her trusty
13649wooden sword. ()
13650Suzuka - "You fool!" (yelling).
13651Once again Gene makes his way up the mountain..
13652Gene - "This time...This time I won't fall for that trap!"
13653This time noticing the trip wire he manages to jump over it but falls in a
13654second trap which in turn sends him falling down
13655the mountain again. Camera goes to Aisha in her own section of the Hot hot
13656spring that looks almost like lava.
13657Aisha - "meow meow meow ....now this is more like it!"
13658Then all of a sudden a huge snowball which held Gene splashed into the lava
13659like pool.
13660Aisha - "Wha...?"
13661Gene then emerges out of the hot liquid
13662Gene - "Hot ....HOT HOT HOT HOT! HOT HOT HOT!" Screaming, jumps out on to the
13663safety of a nearby rock.
13664Aisha - "Now I get it...You came all the way here to get a look at ol' Aisha
13665naked huh?" Squeezing her arms together perking out
13666her breasts. ()
13667Gene - "That's' not it at all! I didn't come here for the--uh" Then his eyes
13668met with Aisha's bare body, Flummoxed he then falls back
13669in to the spring.
13670Gene - "HOT HOT HOT!"
13671Aisha - "He's getting all worked up over this? Talk about no control."
13672Gene makes his way back up the mountain.
13673Gene - "I mean it! I really mean it! This time I'm not gonna fall for their
13674traps!" Succeeding, he reaches the summit.
13675Gene - "Hey there ain't no temple up here at the summit." Then falls flat on
13676his face in the snow.
13677Gene - "What the...?" He hears a noise.
13678Gene - "I hear women singing down there.." Starts digging the snow beneath
13679him.
13680He then hit some glass which polishes and peers through and to his surprise
13681sees many half dressed young women
13682stirring water in a pool with wooden planks. They were all singing in unison.
13683Gene - "It's heaven!" He yelp's.
13684Gene - "How do I get in?" Banging his clenched fist against the glass.
13685Gene - "How do I get in ?" Yelling "Punch through" pulls out his gun and
13686shoots it.
13687Gene - "No good huh!" Nothing happened.
13688Then an explosion knocked Gene out. Waking up, Gene finds the young women
13689with planks staring at him angrily and Urt
13690sitting in the pool across from him holding his Caster gun.
13691Urt - "Considering this gun and your red hair, I think I'll forgive you for
13692breaking my ceiling."
13693Gene - "So your the wizard of Mt Nyotai huh?"
13694Urt - "That is correct, I am called Urt. Well then Red-haired man come with
13695me."
13696Gene - "Come with me? what do you have in mind?"
13697Camera then switches to Gene and Urt having a conversation while playing
13698Ping-pong. ()
13699Urt - "Really now Ark and Hadul can be such a bother."
13700Gene - "They said that if I don't bring back dirty pictures of you, they
13701won't give me #9 or #13 shells."
13702Urt - "And would you like to see that as well ? Dirty pictures of me?"
13703Gene knocks the ball just out of Urt's reach.
13704Gene - "I win, I win"
13705Urt - "Very well then. I promised that I'd give them to you if you won."
13706(pulls out two shells) "These are #4's"
13707Gene - "This time do you want to play for those dirty pictures of you?"
13708Urt - "If you lose I get to take Dirty pictures of you!" (Gene shudders) "I
13709am joking."
13710Gene - "You bitch!"
13711Urt - "Wait a momment! I'll go and take those pictures then."
13712Pulling out her own camera and going into a room with a curtain for a door.
13713Gene pulls the curtain open to sneak a peek
13714and receives a punch square in the face.
13715Urt - "no peeking now!"
13716Gene - "Yes ma'am" Blood dripping from his nose.
13717Back at the Inner Temple.
13718Hadul - "Is that true ? you rally brought back dirty pictures of Urt?!"
13719Gene - "Yeah, Taken by the lady herself!" ()
13720Gene - "they are right in here." Shows Ark and Hadul the video camera as they
13721both yelp with excitement.
13722Gene - "Shells" puts out his hand
13723Ark - "here"
13724Gene - "What ? just one of each!"
13725Ark - "Red-haired man, let me give you a word of warning."
13726Ark - "These special shells of ours have more powerful magic in them than any
13727of the others."
13728Ark - "However to activate them in these times of weak mana, a certain
13729catalyst is needed."
13730Gene - "So what's the catalyst?"
13731Ark - "It's..."
13732Gene - "Well..?"
13733Ark - "The life force of the person who fires the Caster."
13734Hadul - "Fire it once and you'll be woozy. Fire it twice and you'll be half
13735dead."
13736Gene - "In other word's , no multiple discharges."
13737Hadul - "Just like.....you know."
13738Gene - "Of all the ....." Looks down at his groin.
13739Gene - "I got more stamina then that!"
13740Ark - "Forget about that...Hurry up and let us see that!" Looks at the
13741camera.
13742Hadul - "Lord Ark, let's look at them right away!"
13743Hadul - "Hurry, hurry!"
13744Gene - "Mind if I watch too?"
13745Ark - "You sly dog!" nudging him with his elbow.
13746The dirty film starts... ()
13747Urt - "Dirty pictures of Urt"
13748Urt - "Let's get started...!"
13749Urt - "Just a bit..." She takes off her belt.
13750Urt - "Almost there." Her robe slides off her seductively.
13751All three of the voyeurs let out a moans of fulfillment but there seems to be
13752a 60 second timer counting down in the
13753corner of the screen.
13754Urt - "Your such a dirty boy....." She takes off her bra and lets it fall to
13755the ground.
13756Hadul - "Great ! More....show us more!" Urt slips off her panties.
13757Ark - "I wonder what those numbers are for?"
13758Hadul - "Who cares about that?!"
13759Gene - "Exactly!, Forget it!" the counter now say's 9-8-7...
13760Urt - "I can't beleive your still watching...."
13761Urt - "You people are idiot's aren't you?"
13762The three men say in unison - "Huh ?"
13763Urt - "Three."
13764Urt - "Two."
13765Urt - "One."
13766Urt - "Zero."
13767The Screen lights up and Bang-BOOM! the entire temple explodes into rubble!
13768The video tape was rigged.
13769
13770Gene - "T-that bitch!" Blackend with debris.
13771Ark - "Urt never would've done cheesecake like that without something
13772planned."
13773Hadul - "I can die satisfied now..."
13774Back in Town at the local merchant.
13775Aisha - "Five bean-jam buns, mister!"
13776Aisha - "Gene what took you so long?!"
13777Gene - "Hey don't talk to me like that. I did get the Caster shells."
13778Back at the train station.
13779Intercom - "A train is now arriving on track 2. Please stand behind the white
13780line."
13781Back at the ship.
13782Guillium - "It's about time! You don't mind if I launch do you?"
13783Gene - "Do it! Set course for the Galactic layline!"Back in the helm.
13784Ship launches...
13785Back at the ruins of the Inner temple.
13786Ark - "A red-haired man with a Caster ...?" Staring at the Outlaw star making
13787it's way into space.
13788On Mount Nyotai.
13789Urt - "Will this Universe meet with another disaster?" ()

13801Narrator: Gene Starwind. Jim Hawking. Melfina. Suzuka. Aisha Clan Clan. Fred Lou. Ron MacDougal.
13802Harry MacDougal. Gwen Khan. Hazanko. Hitoriga. Hamushi. Jukai. Tobigiera. The Outlaw
13803Star. The Geomancer. The Shangri-La. Very well then, the cast is assembled. I will
13804show you what the Galactic Leyline is. Well, even when you find out you won't be
13805surprised. You think you know what its all about do you? Well maybe what you think it
13806is is only what you want it to be, or simply something that you want to know. When a
13807mystery is solved it ceases to be a mystery, and the curiosity fades with it. Even
13808though people know this, they search out mysteries because they like to say "Oh, so
13809thats what it was." Yes. Let me start to help you choose these mysteries you want to
13810solve. into well known facts.
13811
13812// At a space station...
13813
13814Fred: Gene, Jim, how are you? Business is just fine over herer. I have both of you to thank in
13815more ways than one, but I'd rather do that in person. Thats why I keep agreeing to your
13816repeated requests for financial assistance. But remember, as much as I value your hard
13817work, the funds I send to you are just an investment on my part. Well, I'll be waiting for
13818some good news.
13819
13820Jim: Hmm. See, what did I tell ya?
13821
13822Gene: Well then, I sure hope we find treasure at the Galactic Leyline. Otherwise we'll have to
13823skip town.
13824
13825Jim: So how many shells did you manage to get?
13826
13827Gene: I have 2 number 4's, and one each of number 9 through number 13. But these babies here are
13828really important.
13829
13830Jim: They can do some serious damage. Number 4, number 9 and number 13 too.
13831
13832Gene: They said not to fire these number 3 type shells one after another. They warned me if I do
13833fire it, it will drain my life away.
13834
13835Jim: Hah hah, I doubt that.
13836
13837Gene: Yeah well I wouldn't be so certain about that Jim. They said that they're too powerful.
13838They'll completely drain the life out of whoever fires them.
13839
13840Jim: Woah, no way.
13841
13842Melfina: Gene...
13843
13844Gene: Hey, c'mon, don't look at me like that.
13845
13846Melfina: But Gene...
13847
13848Gene: We're not gonna get in a situation where I have to fire these shells back to back.
13849
13850Melfina: Huh?
13851
13852Suzuka: I'm told that the resupply work has been completed.
13853
13854Aisha: Hello everyone, sorry I'm late. Don't worry, I took care of all of my errands.
13855
13856Gene: Okay then... Time to get this show on the road. The Galactic Leyline's waiting for us.
13857
13858---------------
13859
13860Cutting to the Galactic Leyline
13861
13862---------------
13863
13864// Meanwhile, on the Shangri-La...
13865
13866Gwen: Tell me Harry, how do you feel?
13867
13868Harry: I'm feeling fine. I can pretty much make the ship do whatever I want.
13869
13870Gwen: And thats not all of it I assure you. Mmm Hmm. Not at all. If I'm not mistaken Harry,
13871you should be able to navigate your way to the Galactic Leyline without a hitch, just like
13872your friend Melfina. Don't worry.
13873
13874Harry: I like it when you compare me to her Professor.
13875
13876Ron: Remember now Khan, lets keep focused on our true mission here. I didn't go through the
13877trouble of tracking you down just to save Harry.
13878
13879Gwen: Yes, I know that. I never would have helped you two if I hadn't been humiliated and
13880abandoned by those people. They'll pay for the disrespectful way I've been treated I'll
13881assure you.
13882
13883Ron: Well then, it looks as if we have a common interest.
13884
13885Gwen: Yes, thats quite right. It appears my tracer aboard the Outlaw Star's working perfectly
13886so far. If we follow them we'll arrive at the Galactic Leyline.
13887
13888// Meanwhile, a pirate fleet waits at the Leyline.
13889
13890Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times) Eyah!
13891
13892Hazanko: Continue!
13893
13894Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times)
13895
13896Pirate: Hazanko... whats the meaning of this, you're not following the orders of the Tendo King
13897as commanded.
13898
13899
13900
13901Hazanko: I most certainly am. As ordered I have through my own means found the way into the
13902Leyline. And I have done so without breaking any laws.
13903
13904Pirate: So then why haven't you reported your progress to the Tendo King? Why are you opening
13905the Leyline on your own?
13906
13907Hazanko: Whats the matter? Doesn't the Tendo King sycophant have any ambitions?
13908
13909Pirate: Its just as I thought Hazanko. What you really have in your mind is to betray the king
13910and take the Leyline for yourself. Thats it, isn't it?
13911
13912Hazanko: Not just the Tendo King. The power of the Galactic Leyline surpasses that of the Tenpai
13913Emperor! No, its magnificant power is even greater than that!
13914
13915Pirate: Die!
13916
13917// The Anten Pirates arrive and kill him.
13918
13919Pirate: Blast you... Hazanko...
13920
13921// He dies.
13922
13923Hazanko: Lets finish this.
13924
13925// They blow up the Pirate's ship.
13926
13927Hazanko: When the Ovesphere doesn't return, the Tendo King will grow suspicious. Before then
13928I'll have in my possession everything the Leyline has to offer.
13929
13930Hamushi: A ship has appeared out of sub-ether space. Its heading straight for the Galactic
13931Leyline. Oh no, it can't be!
13932
13933Hazanko: The XGP!
13934
13935// On the XGP...
13936
13937Gilliam: That area of space is odd. Electromagnetic waves, gravity waves, either waves, nothing
13938I send out comes back.
13939
13940Jim: Are you saying it doesn't come up on your sensors?
13941
13942Gilliam: Thats right.
13943
13944Gene: A malfunction when the Leyline's under our noses?
13945
13946Gilliam: My sensors are functioning normally. I'm picking up other ships along that area's
13947periferee.
13948
13949Gene: You're picking up ships? Why didn't you say so?
13950
13951Gilliam: I'll magnify the image for you.
13952
13953Jim: Those ships are Kai Pirates! They're all over the place!
13954
13955Gene: An ambush!
13956
13957Suzuka: Its seems to be many worker ships. That looks like the Geomancer!
13958
13959Gene: Wait, you know that ship?
13960
13961Suzuka: Its the ship of a man named Hazanko who is said to be a powerful Tao master even among
13962the Kai leaders.
13963
13964Gene: Hazanko?
13965
13966Suzuka: He's a powerful man. And with him, the Anten Pirates, his subordinates.
13967
13968Gene: Are you talking about that bunch that attacked us?
13969
13970Gilliam: Pirate ships are launching Kung fighters. Count: Many.
13971
13972Gene: Alright, prepare for combat.
13973
13974Hazanko: I want you to capture the XGP. And then, take Melfina!
13975
13976// The battle begins.
13977
13978Gene: Take that!
13979
13980Jim: They're trying to keep us away from the Galactic Leyline.
13981
13982Melfina: A ship is coming out of Sub-Ether space. 700 kilometers to starboard.
13983
13984Gene: Reinforcements?
13985
13986Gilliam: Now enlarging.
13987
13988Gene: Look at that. We got trouble.
13989
13990Jim: Wait a minute Gene. Isn't that?
13991
13992Aisha: Its the entire Ctarl Ctarl empire's deep space fleet vessel! The Nippapono class cruiser.
13993The Aorta Hone Hone.
13994
13995// On the ship...
13996
13997Ctarl Ctarl Leader: The Ctarl Ctarl empire will lay claim to the Galactic Leyline. Smash anyone
13998who dares to get in our way. Gungan cannons, fire!
13999
14000Gene: Aisha, what the heck have you done?
14001
14002Aisha: Every time we went to a spaceport I always contacted the empire, thats all.
14003
14004Gene: What? You gave them the Leyline's coordinates?!
14005
14006Aisha: If I don't let them know where I'm going and what I'm doing, my family and friends get
14007worried sick about me.
14008
14009Hamushi: The Ctarl Ctarl warship seems to be heading straight for the Galactic Leyline.
14010
14011Hazanko: Let them do whatever pleases them. We wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble
14012if it were possible to force your way into the Leyline.
14013
14014Aisha: They did it! This means the whole treasure belongs to the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
14015
14016Gene: Oh brother, haven't you ever heard of the expression fair play?
14017
14018Jim: There's no use getting upset over it.
14019
14020Gene: What do you think, that you're the only one thats in a race to get to the Galactic Leyline?
14021
14022Hamushi: The XGP is a formidable opponent.
14023
14024Mage: Oh.
14025
14026Hazanko: What is it?
14027
14028Mage: They are coming this way.
14029
14030// The Ctarl Ctarl ship comes out. Everyone on it is going crazy.
14031
14032Aisha: Ah! Its the Aorta Hone Hone! Why is it coming back this way?
14033
14034Suzuka: Look at their shots. They're firing at random.
14035
14036Gene: Turn to 3 o'clock. And do it now.
14037
14038Gilliam: Thats crazy. The Aorta Hone Hone would be directly in our path.
14039
14040Gene: Thats our only shot at making it to the Leyline!
14041
14042Melfina: We'll never be able to dodge them all!
14043
14044Gene: Position shields to maximum protection.
14045
14046Jim: Ah!
14047
14048Gene: Alright, we're going in.
14049
14050// And they do.
14051
14052Jim: You really did it Gene. Its a straight shot into the Leyline from here.
14053
14054Gilliam: Its not registering on my sensors. I'm afraid there doesn't appear to be anything at
14055all that I can detect.
14056
14057Gene: Melfina!
14058
14059// Meanwhile...
14060
14061Mage: It seems the XGP has successfully penetrated the Leyline.
14062
14063Hamushi: I'm detecting another ship. Receiving transmition.
14064
14065Ron: Well well if it isn't Hazanko. What an unexpected pleasure meeting you in this unexpected
14066place.
14067
14068Hazanko: Ron MacDougal? What are you doing here?
14069
14070Ron: I'm letting the XGP lead me to the Galactic Leyline and you'd better guess again if you
14071think you're gonna stop me.
14072
14073--------
14074
14075Eyecatch
14076
14077--------
14078
14079Hazanko: What do you think you're up to? Loathsome jackals like you don't have a chance of
14080getting in there.
14081
14082Ron: Jackals, huh? Nah, we're big game hunters. We're gonna take down the XGP for starters, then
14083plunder the Leyline.
14084
14085Gwen: Yes, you heard right. The knowledge of the universe will be mine.
14086
14087Hazanko: Gwen Khan!
14088
14089// Meanwhile, inside...
14090
14091Gilliam: None of my sensors are picking up anything unusual. I have no idea what is around the
14092ship.
14093
14094Gene: What is the ship's status?
14095
14096Gilliam: All green.
14097
14098Aisha: What? Uh oh, whats that noise? Hear that?
14099
14100Gilliam: Noise, what noise is that? I am not detecting anything at all.
14101
14102Jim: Ah!
14103
14104Suzuka: Ah!
14105
14106Aisha: OH, my heads gonna split open!
14107
14108Gene: Mel, whats going on?
14109
14110Melfina: Wait, just wait.
14111
14112All: Ah!
14113
14114Gilliam: Hold on everyone!
14115
14116Hamushi: The Shangri-La is entering the Leyline.
14117
14118Hazanko: I cannot believe that Gwen Khan is with them. Well old man?
14119
14120Mage: There's just one that still remains.
14121
14122// Back on the Outlaw Star...
14123
14124Gilliam: I can't sense anything, nothing at all.
14125
14126Melfina: This is the spiral. I've adjusted the ship's orientation. This will take us to the
14127center of the Leyline.
14128
14129// On the Shangri-La...
14130
14131Gwen: Whats that noise, its driving me insane! Whats happening, can't anybody make it go away?
14132
14133Ron: Harry!
14134
14135Harry: Everything's okay Ron. I can see the path. Its getting clear. And I can see her at the end
14136of it.
14137
14138// Back outside...
14139
14140Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times)
14141
14142// The Leyline opens.
14143
14144Mages: Yah! Its opening.
14145
14146Hazanko: We're now entering the Galactic Leyline!
14147
14148// Inside...
14149
14150Gene: Melfina, whats our status?
14151
14152Melfina: Engine output 70%. We're following a spiral course to Mel.
14153
14154Gene: Yeah, you said it.
14155
14156Aisha: I guess it looks like the Aorta Hone Hone wasn't up to the challenge.
14157
14158Suzuka: So that must be the reason why the Geomancer held its position.
14159
14160Jim: What were they doing just standing by like that?
14161
14162Gene: Who knows Jim. But I betcha they're cooking up some dirty little scheme and we'll be ready
14163for them.
14164
14165// Meanwhile...
14166
14167Gwen: Oh my. It seems I can't pick up my tracer either.
14168
14169Harry: Don't worry I know where they are. They're just ahead of us, we'll catch up with them
14170soon. She's all mine now.
14171
14172Gwen: Now now son, your underestimating the trouble you would have dating her. Hmm. I wonder
14173what would happen.
14174
14175Harry: Its okay professor, I already know that she's a bio-android.
14176
14177Gwen: You think she's a bio-android? No no, she's considerably different from the standard
14178issue bio-androids that we've become familiar with. Different in ways that you can't
14179imagine.
14180
14181Harry: Yeah? So how's she different?
14182
14183Gwen: I'll have to start at the beginning. You see, the Kai pirates came to me and asked me to
14184decode genetic engineering data uncovered by them at some ancient ruins called Grave of the
14185Dragon.
14186
14187Ron: I already know how you designed the XGP after decoding the data Professor, just stick to
14188Melfina.
14189
14190Gwen: But thats just it. You see, I wasn't able to completely decode it. Some of the data I
14191mentioned was something even I couldn't preciseley understand. For lack of a better term,
14192I've been calling it a black box. The XGP as well as Melfina were constructed by
14193incorporating this black box which I had no idea how to activate as well as knowledge from
1419430000 years ago left behind by some mysterious force. Yes.
14195
14196Ron: So you're saying hidden inside the XGP and Melfina is a mystery you can never solve,
14197professor?
14198
14199Gwen: Yes, yes, yes, thats right! Oh, how can there by so many unsolved mysteries of the universe
14200that my brilliant mind can't decifer? Its utterly impossible to fathom! At any rate,
14201there's your answer in a nutshell. She's too great a mystery for you to contemplate.
14202
14203Harry: I can sense them. At last I found you Melfina!
14204
14205Gene: Turn the ship around! Ah man, its the MacDougal brothers! What are they doing here?
14206Melfina?
14207
14208Melfina: The spiral's collapsing.
14209
14210Gene: What just happened there?
14211
14212Melfina: I think its a whirlpool. I'm detecting another ship.
14213
14214Suzuka: Its the Geomancer.
14215
14216Hazanko: Capture the XGP at once. Then destroy the MacDougal Brothers!
14217
14218Harry: Don't mess with me!
14219
14220// The fight begins between the three ships.
14221
14222Ron: Don't try to fight them head on. Go after the XGP.
14223
14224Gene: Alright, you loser!
14225
14226// The Geomancer grabs the Outlaw Star.
14227
14228Gene: Oh no.
14229
14230Jim: Gene!
14231
14232Suzuka: Gene!
14233
14234Aisha: You moron!
14235
14236// Harry blast the ship, and they escape.
14237
14238Harry: You think I'm gonna let you have Melfina that easily?
14239
14240Gene: Lets lose them. Maximum overdrive.
14241
14242Ron: After them!
14243
14244Harry: I know.
14245
14246Hazanko: Don't let them escape, after them!
14247
14248Mage: With all due respect we musn't Lord Hazanko. If we deviate from our course we'll never
14249stand a chance at reaching the Leyline.
14250
14251Gene: Mel, where's that spiral?
14252
14253Melfina: We're in the center.
14254
14255Gilliam: Kinetic waves. There's something ahead.
14256
14257Gene: What, whats that?
14258
14259// They approach a strange cylinder.
14260
14261Jim: Wha, thats it isn't it?
14262
14263Suzuka: Thats what the Kai pirates have been trying to mastermind.
14264
14265Aisha: Its where mountains of riches are waiting for us.
14266
14267Gene: So thats it, the heart of the Leyline. What do you think we'll find there, treasure or
14268monsters? Lets find out.
14269
14270// They get sucked in.
14271
14272Melfina: The ship is being pulled in. Its like we're being guided.
14273
14274Gene: Guided? Don't you think thats a little understated?
14275
14276Jim: Oh no, we're gonna crash!
14277
14278Gilliam: Acceleration has dropped to approximately 70%. I'm detecting an atmosphere outside the
14279ship.
14280
14281Jim: So Gene, what are we gonna do now?
14282
14283Gene: Show some backbone, will you, the Leyline is sending us an invitation. I say we accept the
14284offer.
14285
14286// They land nearby.
14287
14288Gene: Looks like the end of the line.
14289
14290Gilliam: Oh my goodness.
14291
14292Gene: Huh?
14293
14294Gilliam: Take a look at this Gene. It seems to be some kind of artificial structure.
14295
14296Gene: So the rest of the way is by foot, huh?
14297
14298Gilliam: The atmosphere is quite breathable. The gravity is approximately 0.974 G.
14299
14300Gene: Man, these guys think of everything, don't they? Midn the ship while I'm gone Gilliam.
14301
14302Gilliam: Alright. I'll see you later then. Please be careful.
14303
14304// At the Geomancer...
14305
14306Hazanko: Tobigiera, you can the crew will protect the Geomancer.
14307
14308Tobigiera: Yes sir.
14309
14310Hazanko: The rest of you will come with me.
14311
14312Hamushi and Jukai: Yes lord.
14313
14314// Near the Shangri-La...
14315
14316Gwen: Well, what do you think Harry? How does your body feel?
14317
14318Harry: Ah, it feels great. I'm lighter on my feet than I was in my real body.
14319
14320Gwen: Yes, its certainly powerful alright. But remember that body is your life support system.
14321
14322Harry: Yes, I understand.
14323
14324// Back to the heroes...
14325
14326Jim: Man, this place really gives me the creeps.
14327
14328Gene: Ugh, looks like a dead end.
14329
14330Jim: Okay Gene, what should we do now?
14331
14332Gene: Looks like we have no choice we got to go back.
14333
14334// Suddenly, bright lights appear and the landscape changes.
14335
14336
14337
14338Gene: Hey, whats with the bright lights, man?
14339
14340Jim: Its gone.
14341
14342Gene: What the?
14343
14344Jim: What is this?
14345
14346Aisha: The cave's dissappeared!
14347
14348Gene: Its like we've been transported to another place.
14349
14350Jim: Whats going on Gene?
14351
14352Gene: How in the world should I know?
14353
14354Suzuka: It seems to me like we're in the cylinder now.
14355
14356Aisha: Don't you know whats going on Melfina?
14357
14358Melfina: Uh... no, I don't know anything either. I'm confused too.
14359
14360Aisha: You are?
14361
14362Melfina: I don't even know how I did it. I don't understand why I was able to guide the Outlaw
14363Star here. This was the first time I could do it. (cries)
14364
14365Gene: Well, we travelled all this way so we could find that out.
14366
14367Hazanko: Should I tell you all then?
14368
14369Gene and Aisha: Huh?
14370
14371Gene: Who are you?
14372
14373Hazanko: Its because Melfina has had the secret of the Leyline in her all this time.
14374
14375Suzuka: Thats Hazanko. And they're...
14376
14377Gene: Yeah, I know. Those Anten guys.
14378
14379Hazanko: You will return Melfina to me. She belongs to us now.
14380
14381Gene: Melfina isn't your poker chip, Jack. Forget it.
14382
14383// Nearby...
14384
14385Gwen: Oh my my my my. How amazing was that teleportation?
14386
14387Gene: MacDougal!
14388
14389Jim: Yeah, and why's Gwen Khan with those guys?
14390
14391Leyline: Why dost thou return?
14392
14393Melfina: I don't understand, what does she mean by return?
14394
14395// A light appears around Melfina and she vanishes.
14396
14397Gene: Melfina!
14398
14399Leyline: What is thy desire?
14400
14401Gene: What do you want?
14402
14403Leyline: What is thy desire?
14404
14405Hamushi: That voice. Who is it?
14406
14407Leyline: Find they desire here on this land.
14408
14409Gene: Yeah, I got your desire.
14410
14411// A light surrounds Gene and he vanishes too.
14412
14413Gene: Ah!
14414
14415Leyline: Why dost thy return. Whom does thou guide?
14416
14417// Melfina is trapped in some strange structure.

14460
14461// Gene is transported to a new location.
14462
14463Leyline: There is but one path. There is but one path.
14464
14465Gene; Jim, do you read me? Jim?
14466
14467Jim: Gene, are you okay down there?
14468
14469Gene: Yeah.
14470
14471Jim: What the hecks going on here? What does it mean, "There is but one path"?
14472
14473Gene: I don't know. but it looks like we'll have to play along if we're gonna free Melfina.
14474
14475// Elsewhere...
14476
14477Hazanko: I'm getting tired of playing these silly games. Are you here Jukai?
14478
14479Jukai: Of course Lord Hazanko. It seems that all the others were sent elsewhere. Who knows when
14480they'll be back.
14481
14482Hazanko: No matter, as long as I reach the gate before anyone else does and the key is in my
14483position, the other's whereabouts are irrelevant.
14484
14485Jukai: Very well my Lord. Pa Gu A Sun Fa
14486
14487// He chants it many times, causing Hazanko to fly elsewhere. Meanwhile...
14488
14489Harry: Hey Ron, do you read me, come in.
14490
14491Ron: Yeah, I read you. Looks like our only option right now is to follow the path you're on.
14492
14493Harry: Understood. Melfina, I'm on my way.
14494
14495// Meanwhile, Gene encounters Suzuka while running.
14496
14497Gene: Suzuka!
14498
14499Suzuka: It seems as if all the paths merge as they go along. Lets see where they lead.
14500
14501// Elsewhere...
14502
14503Gwen: My, this is fascinating. Hmm. Quite fascinating. Perhaps it was a mistake to give the
14504MacDougal brothers the coordinates to this place, or maybe it was a good idea in the long
14505run. Regardless, as long as I get what I want. Its waiting for me at the end of this
14506path. Its simply wonderful. Well must hurry, must hurry.
14507
14508// Elsewhere...
14509
14510Aisha: Is there really gonna be treasure at the end of this or were they just kidding?
14511
14512Jim: How should I know?
14513
14514// Back to Gene and Suzuka...
14515
14516Gene: Suzuka, why did you come with us on this mission?
14517
14518Suzuka: Why is it that men always want to know the why of everything. Its not as if knowing why
14519will let you do anything about it. Before you ask me, you should sort out your own
14520feelings, don't you agree Gene?
14521
14522// They continue on and approach a chasm.
14523
14524Gene: Where there are mountains there are valleys, huh?
14525
14526Suzuka: Why don't you go first?
14527
14528Gene: You really know how to give a man a lot of respect Suzuka.
14529
14530Suzuka: I was just thinking the ledge over there might be a little unstable, thats all.
14531
14532Gene: So like all of a sudden I'm the lab rat here, huh? Here goes.
14533
14534// He jumps it.
14535
14536Gene: The experiment was a success. Woah!
14537
14538// It collapses beneath him. Gene manages to lift himself back up.
14539
14540Suzuka: What next, there's never a dull moment with you is there?
14541
14542Gene: Remind me to thank you later.
14543
14544Suzuka: Oh there's no need to thank me. Hmm?
14545
14546// Hitoriga stands behind her.
14547
14548Hitoriga: Its been a long time Suzuka.
14549
14550Suzuka: Hmph, you're looking quite well Hitoriga. I'm surprised, running into you like this.
14551
14552Gene: Whats going on Suzuka?
14553
14554
14555
14556Suzuka: You've been waiting to know for a long time why I came along with you Gene. Well, this
14557is why. As I've told you before, I find your people's culture most interesting. But it
14558was mainly because I have a long standing score to settle with the Kai Pirates.
14559Especially with Hitoriga. So I joined you on this mission. You seemed to be bound so
14560closely together with them, so I decided to use you. You must go now Gene. This is a
14561battle for me to fight alone. Do you understand? Go on with out me. Melfina's out there
14562waiting for you!
14563
14564// Gene runs off.
14565
14566Hitoriga: Will wonders never cease? I'm surprised that you'd ever consider a partner. So Suzuka,
14567are you in love with him?
14568
14569
14570
14571Suzuka: I'll give you the answer to that when the time comes. I'll tell you when I kill you.
14572As a gift to see you off to the afterlife.
14573
14574Hitoriga: Just because I killed off your entire family is no reason to hate me so. We both work
14575as killers, you and I. We understand each other.
14576
14577Suzuka: Who are you kidding? You're just a pawn for the pirates. And I'm a fool for no one.
14578
14579Hitoriga: We seem to have a difference of opinion my dear. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu
14580A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa!
14581
14582Suzuka: Ugh!
14583
14584// The both of them attack, and both miss. Hitoriga's bag like mask falls off, revealing a face
14585identical to Suzuka's.
14586
14587Hitoriga: This fight should prove to be amusing Suzuka.
14588
14589Suzuka: Let us find out.
14590
14591Hitoriga: Heh heh heh. At the very least my dear, we'll discover whom this beautiful face really
14592belongs to.
14593
14594Suzuka: Well at least we agree on that much.
14595
14596// Back to Gene, who'se running along the path they were on...
14597
14598Gene: This is the Galactic Leyline? What the heck am I doing here? I feel so helpless, what
14599should I do?
14600
14601// He runs into Hamushi.
14602
14603Hamushi: We meet at last. You're Gene Starwind, hm? My, how handsome. I could show you a good
14604time if you'd be interested.
14605
14606Gene: I've never turned down an offer from a woman before. But, there's always a first time,
14607nothing personal but pirates and I never seem to hit it off very well. Besides, I don't
14608exactly feel like talking right now.
14609
14610
14611
14612Hamushi: Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa.
14613
14614// Gene fires at her but nothing happens.
14615
14616Hamushi: Is that a caster? That isn't gonna work against me Gene.
14617
14618Gene: Well, get a load of you. A tough little cookie and a righteous babe all in one. Hmm. Man,
14619this stinks, that was just an 11. How about a 10?
14620
14621// Elsewhere...
14622
14623Jukai: Stop, anyone who dares to interfere with Lord Hazanko will pay the consequences.
14624
14625Aisha: Well, what do we have here? If it isn't a bonified pirate flunkie. Jim, just leave this
14626to me. You go on ahead, I'll catch up.
14627
14628Jim: Why? I wanna stay here and fight him with you.
14629
14630Aisha: Yeah, well thanks for the concern but I can handle him.
14631
14632Jim: Aisha...
14633
14634Aisha: Will you get going?
14635
14636// He runs off.
14637
14638Aisha: Okay now, I can fight this idiot without worrying about Jim.
14639
14640Jukai: Very wise Aisha, you sensed my power and let the child escape before I humilitated you.
14641How kind of you. Hah hah hah!
14642
14643Aisha: Stop trying to second guess me. You're gonna pay for that. I am your worst niughtmare.
14644How in the world did I end up here? I thought I was supposed to be on a treasure hunt.
14645Well, nevermind. Always attack the problem that life places in front of your face.
14646
14647Jukai: Precisely!
14648
14649// The fight begins. Elsewhere...
14650
14651Hamushi: That won't work on me no matter how many times you try it. How many shells do you have
14652left now?
14653
14654Gene: Well, if you really want to know, I have 4 shells left.
14655
14656Hamushi: Four shells away from death. When your shells run out you die, Gene Starwind.
14657
14658Gene: Thanks for the warning, but you're wrong. Drain your life, huh? Well here goes. Eat this!
14659
14660// He fires one of the number 9's. Nothing happens.
14661
14662Hamushi: Well, what do we have here? Hah hah.
14663
14664// The shell sucks her in. Then it electrocutes Gene.
14665
14666Hamushi: Ugh. Aaaah!
14667
14668Gene: Aaah! Those blasted things drain your life. They got that right.
14669
14670// Meanwhile, Harry is walking around and approaches Melfina.
14671
14672Harry: Whats going on? Huh? Melfina! Hold on. You don't have to worry anymore, I'll save you. I
14673came here for you Melfina.
14674
14675Melfina: Oh no, I'm so sorry Harry but I can't be what you want me to be.
14676
14677Harry: But thats not true. You don't have to do anything. Just having you near is enough for me.
14678Don't you understand? I love you.
14679
14680
14681
14682Hazanko: So there you are. At last we meet, my prize Melfina. Come, open the gate.
14683
14684Harry: You better watch what you're saying mister! I'm the only man in Melfina's life so you
14685better back off.
14686
14687Hazanko: Don't be absurd.
14688
14689// Harry attacks him, to no avail. He shoots some missiles at him which deflect.
14690
14691Hazanko: Hah hah hah hah.
14692
14693// Harry shatters Hazanko's mask.
14694
14695Harry: Ah!
14696
14697Hazanko: You'll pay for that you worm.
14698
14699// Hazanko kills Harry.
14700
14701Melfina: Uh, Harry!
14702
14703Harry: Thats the first time that you ever talked to me like that Melfina.
14704
14705// Harry dies.
14706
14707Melfina: Harry!
14708
14709--------
14710
14711Eyecatch
14712
14713--------
14714
14715Melfina: What have you done?
14716
14717Hazanko: You needn't concern yourself. Just fulfill the task that has been given to you.
14718
14719Melfina: The task? What do you mean?
14720
14721Hazanko: Enough of this. Remember what I tell you Melfina. You are the key sent to open the gate
14722that lies here before you. As the maiden of the Leyline, you will pass along my prayers.
14723I admit it was our fault that the XGP was stolen from us to begin with. Because of that
14724embarressing deception, I had to drop everything I was working on to come here.
14725
14726Melfina: What are you saying? What do you mean?
14727
14728Hazanko: Save your breath, your questions are meaningless. After all, you're just a puppet in
14729this game.
14730
14731Melfina: Uh.
14732
14733Hazanko: Come on, be a good little girl and open the gate for me.
14734
14735// That happens.
14736
14737Melfina: No! Let me go, please, let me go!
14738
14739Hazanko: Leyline Project Command; It was you who broke my mason plate. The path has been opened.
14740
14741// He heads on through.
14742
14743// Meanwhile, back to the battle...
14744
14745Hitoriga: You're an extraordinary woman, Suzuka. I really do love you, in spite of what you might
14746think. Thats why I took this face. And you went to all this trouble to see me. With
14747a mountain of treasure right in front of you, you turned it down and chose me.
14748
14749Suzuka: My individuality is whats important to me. Everything in my world is an extension of that
14750standard. But you wouldn't understand that, whould you?
14751
14752Hitoriga: No, I don't understand. But then you don't understand my feelings either now do you.
14753Sun hara bu!
14754
14755// He attacks her.
14756
14757Suzuka: Ah!
14758
14759Hitoriga: Heh heh heh heh. Now isn't thta too bad. I wanted to take you alive, but I guess I
14760don't know my own strength.
14761
14762Suzuka: It was I who let you hit me. I wanted to experience the pain that you inflicted on all
14763those that you hurt. You've had your chance, and now its my turn.
14764
14765Hitoriga: Oh really? Sun hara bu!
14766
14767// This time, she gets through his attack and attacks herself.
14768
14769Suzuka: Heeyah!
14770
14771Hitoriga: Ugh! Suzuka, I've never seen that technique.
14772
14773Suzuka: Its called Crimson.
14774
14775Hitoriga: You never used it back then, did you?
14776
14777Suzuka: No I didn't. I invented it afterwards just for you.
14778
14779Hitoriga: I see. Ugh.
14780
14781// He dies. Meanwhile, Aisha battles Jukai inside a tornado. They come out, Aisha falls over and
14782turns back to normal.
14783
14784Jukai: She was all talk. Impossible. Yah!
14785
14786// Jukai dies.
14787
14788Aisha: A little rest right here and I'll be as good as new. Gene, save some dragonite for me.
14789I'm gonna need it.
14790
14791// Elsewhere...
14792
14793Gwen: My isn't that fascinating. Oh my my. Oh my goodness. Whats this? Oh my goodness, looks
14794like Hazanko's work. Unfortunately he got here before I did.
14795
14796Ron: Harry... Harry... You were the only brother I ever had. Hazanko did this to you Harry,
14797didn't he, that bastard, I'll kill him with my own 2 hands.
14798
14799Gwen: Is it in here? Its in here isn't it. It is, isn't it.
14800
14801Ron: Wait Professor. You stay here with Harry, I'll go in.
14802
14803Gwen: Huh? What for? Why should I stay behind? Especially when no one worked harder than I to get
14804us here in the first place.
14805
14806Ron: And if my little brother's gone as a result Professor, you should bear some of the
14807responsibility, don't you think?
14808
14809Gwen: What? Now thats utterly preposterous, its not even logical.
14810
14811Ron: Yeah, well for a man who just lost his only brother its logical enough Professor.
14812
14813Gene: Great. I finally make it to the finish line and that babe doesn't even wait for me.
14814MacDougal, Where's Melfina?
14815
14816Ron: Well if it isn't Gene Starwind. Now that I think about it, it was you and Hilda that started
14817this rediculous party.
14818
14819// The two of them shoot their casters, cancelling each other out.
14820
14821Ron: You keep trying the same thing over and over again. Well I'm tired of playing and now you're
14822going to suffer like Harry did!
14823
14824Gene: Well your a little late. For your information that shell I just fired was a number nine.
14825
14826Ron: A number nine? Do they actually exist? But it looks like it didn't do any kind of damage at
14827all. Huh?
14828
14829// The caster shell sucks him in too. Gene gets shocked from it and passes out. He has a visions
14830of his youth. Next, he flashes back to when Melfina woke up.
14831
14832Melfina: Leyline project activated.
14833
14834Gene: She was crying, wasn't she?
14835
14836Hilda: But that wasn't why you saved her Gene.
14837
14838Gene: Hilda.
14839
14840Hilda: An Outlaw must always be a lone wolf without letting anything holding him down. You can
14841never count on anyone but yourself. But then sometimes you want to feel the warmth of
14842another body, you know?
14843
14844Gene's Father: Gene, whadda ya say, you gunna go up into space with your old man or not?
14845
14846Hilda: No one's gunna give you a map. you gatta walk your own path. Gene Starwind.
14847
14848Gene's Father: Gene, I've lived my life following my dreams. And I don't have any regrets. And
14849now it's time for you to move on son. I'm countin' on ya.
14850
14851Hilda: Good luck Gene Starwind.
14852
14853Gene's Father: Good luck Gene Starwind.
14854
14855// Scene of Gene as a kid when he reached earth in the escape pod.
14856
14857Gene: Now what? I don't know what to do while I'm stranded here all alone. What am I supposed to
14858do now?
14859
14860Hilda: Gene!
14861
14862Gene's Father: Gene!
14863
14864// Gene wakes up with Jim next to him.
14865
14866Jim: Gene!
14867
14868// Jim injects Gene with neural stimulant
14869
14870Jim: Oh thank goodness, are you going to be okay Gene?
14871
14872Gene: Yeah. What happened?
14873
14874Jim: I don't know. I found you here lying unconcious. Looks like Harry MacDougal was killed some
14875where along the way.
14876
14877Gene: Really? well I wasn't the one killed him.
14878
14879Jim: Where did Mel go?
14880
14881Gene: Up ahead probably. I gotta go after her.
14882
14883Jim: Okay, lets go.
14884
14885Gene: Jim, I want you to head back to the Outlaw Star
14886
14887Jim: But Gene.... Can't I... Can't I do anything to help you?
14888
14889Gene: I only have two caster shell left. And if I run out of these I want you and the Outlaw Star
14890to rescue me. We've made it through all the hard time with our great team work Jim. I've
14891always been out on the frontlines as the point man and you're....
14892
14893Jim: ...The backup.
14894
14895Gene: I'll bring Melfina Back. You can count on it. Now you go find Suzuka and Aisha and stand
14896by in the ship alright?
14897
14898Jim: You've got it.
14899
14900Gene: If we make it through this I'll bring us back a mountain of treasure.
14901
14902// Jim leaves. Gene heads into the opened gate.
14903
14904Leyline: What is thy desire? What is thy desire?
14905
14906// Gene is transported to where Gwen is.
14907
14908Gene: What the........? I guess that that wasn't the finish line
14909
14910Gwen Khan: Well my, my, my. Welcome Gene, welcome.
14911
14912Gene: Gwen Khan!
14913
14914Gwen Khan: That's right, that's right. I am Gwen Khan The imenent Gwen. But listen now I'm in a
14915fix, I can't move ahead. I'm in quite a predicament. It seems that the doors are
14916locked from the inside. It's very frustrating because the gate is open and it
14917shouldn't be difficult. I really must go on. What a jam, what a jam!
14918
14919Gene: Damn it! Do something! Your the one who started this stupid game!
14920
14921Gwen Khan: Stop it! Stop it please! I just want to know! I just want to know!
14922
14923// Suddenly, Harry arrives
14924
14925Gene: Harry!
14926
14927Harry: Shit. I always fell like ...ell w...w...when I wake up........dead sleep. Is
14928Melf...f...f...fina around here some where? I came to se...e...e...e... ....er.
14929
14930// Gene prepares to shoot him.
14931
14932Gwen Khan: No don't! He's already dead. You'll just be wasting ammunition. The auxilary units in
14933his body are keeping him alive barly, that's all. He's like a phantom, Nothing will
14934affect him. I know. Do you think Give it a try. I think you'll find melfina on the
14935other side.
14936
14937// Harry hacks into the door inside there.
14938
14939Leyline: The path is to be opened by the maiden. The path is to be opened by the maiden.
14940
14941// Once again we see Harry in the data like world with Melfina near.
14942
14943
14944
14945
14946Harry: Melfina! Poor angel there's a protection program around her. I'll just have to delete the
14947whole thing. Melfina!
14948
14949Melfina: Harry!
14950
14951Harry: I'm so glad I made it in time. I'm sorry Melfina, I had such plans for us together but now
14952all that I can do is wake you up. I'm sorry that I couln't do more. But there's something
14953else that i've been wanting to tell you all along.
14954
14955Melfina: Harry.
14956
14957Harry: Good bye.
14958
14959// Harry tries to kiss her, but vanishes.
14960
14961Melfina: Harry!
14962
14963// Back in the real world, Harry's done.
14964
14965Harry: My work is finished. Go, Gene and listen to the beutiful song she sings.
14966
14967Gene: A song?
14968
14969Harry: Yes that's right. Ask her to sing it again but only for me.
14970
14971// The door opens.
14972
14973Gwen Khan: Incredible! The doors have opened!
14974
14975Gene: Don't worry. I'll ask her Harry! Count on it.
14976
14977// Gene runs in.

14985Return to Space
14986
14987
14988
14989
14990
14991// Gene runs through a dark hallway to the center of the Leyline.
14992
14993---------------
14994
14995Return to Space
14996
14997---------------
14998
14999Leyline: We shall test thy worthiness. Present the maiden.
15000
15001Hazanko: She is here.
15002
15003// Melfina is connected to the Leyline.
15004
15005Leyline: It is the maiden. The Leyline is considering. The Leyline will now converse with the
15006supplicant.
15007
15008// A face similar to Melfina's comes out of the top of the Leyline.
15009
15010Face: That which has come with the maiden, tell me, what is thy desire?
15011
15012Hazanko: Power, immense power, so absolute that even the Tendo King would bow before me and allow
15013me to crush the emperor.
15014
15015Face: That is thy desire?
15016
15017Gene: Hey there, hold on a minute. At last... I came for my second place prize.
15018
15019Hazanko: Blast it, Gene Starwind!
15020
15021Gene: Eat this!
15022
15023// He shoots Hazanko, who is sucked into the shell. Gene gets blasted again.
15024
15025Gene: Ah!
15026
15027// He collapses. Gwen walks by him.
15028
15029
15030
15031Gwen: Well, and the third one after all. How efficient of you. Now I don't have to destroy
15032anyone. So tell me, is the Leyline the accursed record?
15033
15034Face: It has that power, however. Its power goes beyond that.
15035
15036Gwen: Oh, so its the Keylines. Causality can be manipulated here. Hense the name Leyline. By
15037manipulating the factor we call fate, as if it were a physical law. Can I finally learn
15038what I want to know? Everything I want to know?
15039
15040Face: I will answer all. I will bestow all.
15041
15042Gene: Gwen Khan. This is my last shell. You wanna taste it?
15043
15044Gwen: Just a moment, now just wait a minute. If I'm not alive you see, if I die, everything that
15045I've learned will be lost forever. Don't you understand?
15046
15047Gene: So this is the treasure room, huh Professor? Melfina, are you okay? Melfina?
15048
15049Melfina: Gene.
15050
15051Gene: How do I turn Melfina back to the way she was?
15052
15053Gwen: Gene, wake up. We've finally reached the Leyline. Aren't you happy? Or at least curious?
15054Come, come, what is it that you want? Is it political power? Or is it money? Information?
15055Nothing you can imagine is unreasonable. You can claim it. Anything. Anything you want.
15056Everything you want is right here. Right now.
15057
15058Face: Thou who has come with the maiden, what is your desire?
15059
15060Gwen: What, whats that?
15061
15062// Hazanko returns.
15063
15064Hazanko: I am Hazanko. A caster attack will not work against me. It is useless.
15065
15066Gene: And I am Gene Starwind. An outlaw not in the habit of listening to warnings. I'm here to
15067take back Melfina.
15068
15069Hazanko: Heh heh heh. You and your friends don't know the first thing about her. Using the
15070secrets that we have uncovered, Melfina is a mere puppet that we have created.
15071
15072Melfina: Huh?
15073
15074Gwen: Yes, yes, thats right, thats quite right. She's a puppet.
15075
15076Gene: Shut up Khan.
15077
15078Hazanko: The Leyline project was founded a long time ago through the secret wisdom of the grave
15079of the dragon. It produced a puppet that would be the key to entering the Leyline. This
15080puppet was to function as a highly sophisticated navigational system that would
15081eventually open the doors of the Leyline. That puppet is none other than Melfina.
15082
15083Melfina: So I'm just a mere puppet?
15084
15085
15086
15087Gene: Thats enough!
15088
15089Melfina: You knew all along Gene?
15090
15091Gene: Melfina, the answer you needed wasn't in your past. The answer you were looking for is...
15092
15093Hazanko: I'll give you that answer. Melfina, you're nothing more than a tool that we needed.
15094
15095Melfina: So you brought me here because you knew you could use me too Gene?
15096
15097Gene: No, I didn't!
15098
15099Hazanko: Oh really?
15100
15101Melfina: This whole time I've been your tool?
15102
15103Hazanko: Thats it precisely.
15104
15105Gene: He's lying!
15106
15107Hazanko: Absurd!
15108
15109Gene: Yeah!
15110
15111Melfina: Gene!
15112
15113// Gene shoots his last shell. Hazanko counters. There's an explosion.
15114
15115Gene: Aaaaaah!
15116
15117Leyline: Danger. Danger. They are gone. They are gone. Return them. Return them.
15118
15119// On the Geomancer...
15120
15121Tobigiera: Its already been almost 24 hours since Lord Hazanko set out. I can't believe that no
15122one has contacted the ship.
15123
15124// On the Outlaw Star...
15125
15126Jim: Gilliam, has there been any word from Gene yet?
15127
15128Gilliam: I'm sorry, but I've received no word at all.
15129
15130Suzuka: Jim, lets just try to remain calm and wait for him.
15131
15132Aisha: Thats right, just try and stay calm. Stay calm. Stay calm. Ahhh! How can I stay calm at
15133a time like this?!
15134
15135// On the Shangri-La, a cyborg like Ron wakes up with Harry on a computer screen in front of him.
15136
15137Harry: Hey Ron, are you awake?
15138
15139Ron: Harry... is that you?
15140
15141Harry: Not in the flesh. I'm now the Shangri-La's main frame computer. I made a backup just in
15142case something happened. Almost as good as my original, huh?
15143
15144Ron: Amazing.
15145
15146Harry: I was able to trace down the sensors in your body and bring you back here to recuperate.
15147You're badly hurt Ron, so I'm afraid you'll be in there for a while. But whatever happened
15148to my original? Do you know?
15149
15150Ron: Something too horrible to mention. Harry, lets pull out for now. But this is not over yet,
15151is it?
15152
15153Harry: No, it isn't. Not by a long shot. We'll show 'em what happens when you cross the MacDougal
15154brothers.
15155
15156Ron: The MacDougal brothers, huh?
15157
15158// They leave. Meanwhile, electric currents move towards the ships.
15159
15160Gene: Gene Starwind.
15161
15162Melfina: Melfina.
15163
15164Hazanko: Hazanko.
15165
15166Gwen: Gwen Khan.
15167
15168// The representations of Hazanko and Gene fight. Gene wakes in a field.
15169
15170Jim: Gene!
15171
15172Melfina: Gene!
15173
15174Gene: Melfina.
15175
15176Melfina: Gene, I'm now connected to the will and the desires of the Galactic Leyline. Hazanko's
15177Tao magic and your caster's power have somehow reacted and cancelled each other out and
15178we've all ceased functioning.
15179
15180Gene: Are we dead then?
15181
15182Melfina: The answer to that is both yes and no. The will of the Leyline is keeping us alive in
15183a different location. In my current state I can explain to you what the Galactic Leyline
15184is. Its like a galactic library left by a now extinct race that possessed a highly
15185advanced understanding of science and technology. However to humanity, we may think of
15186it as like a machine god. After you finished healing yourself, and return to reality,
15187the Leyline will probably grant your every desire.
15188
15189Gene: Are you saying that this isn't reality?
15190
15191Melfina: This is data.
15192
15193// They are in the data world.
15194
15195
15196
15197Gene: Is this cyberspace?
15198
15199// Gwen Khan appears.
15200
15201Gwen: Hello Gene. Thanks to you I learned what I wanted to know. Now I have the answers to my
15202questions. Well goodbye then, I am data, and data's me. Goodbye. Goodbye.
15203
15204Gene: He makes absolutely no sense.
15205
15206Melfina: This is the data repository. Professor Khan's objective must have been to gain as much
15207knowledge as possible. Gene, is there something you desire? Say it. By using the
15208Leyline, I can grant anything your heart desires and make it real. Gene.
15209
15210Gene: There isn't anything the Leyline can give me. All I really want is for you to return with
15211me.
15212
15213Melfina: Gene.
15214
15215Gene: Oh no, I made you cry again. Melfina, what is it that you wish for?
15216
15217Melfina: I want to stay who I am. I want to be with you forever Gene.
15218
15219Gene: Well thats what I want too.
15220
15221// They kiss.
15222
15223Gene: Then come away with me Melfina, right now.
15224
15225Melfina: Yes. Oh.
15226
15227Gene: What is it?
15228
15229Melfina: Hazanko is preparing to leave here right now. He has all the power that he wished for.
15230If we don't stop him the entire universe will be in danger.
15231
15232Gene: What should we do?
15233
15234Melfina: We'll join forces, I'll combine my power with yours and then we'll fight him to the end.
15235
15236--------
15237
15238Eyecatch
15239
15240--------
15241
15242Hazanko: I finally have it. Power. Power!
15243
15244// Hazanko melds with the Geomancer.
15245
15246Jim: Whats happening now?
15247
15248Aisha: What just happened? Hey?
15249
15250Gilliam: Oh my... What in the world.
15251
15252// Gene and Melfina return.
15253
15254Melfina: Systems all green. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you. Gene, I'm right here.
15255
15256Jim: What happened Gene?
15257
15258Gene: Don't worry I'll fill you in on all the magic soon enough Jim. Outlaw Star, get ready to
15259launch.
15260
15261Jim: Its a miracle isn't it.
15262
15263Gene: Yeah, must be. I met God.
15264
15265Melfina: Gene... we're currently linked directly to the Galactic Leyline. Nows the time to free
15266your mind and fight with all you got. You should be much stronger than usual.
15267
15268Gene: Thats a roger. Lets do it!
15269
15270// They fight. In the cyberspace, Gene and Hazanko fight.
15271
15272Hazanko: You'll pay. I'll make you pay Gene Starwind!
15273
15274// The Geomancer fires but doesn't take out Outlaw Star.
15275
15276Gene: MOron!
15277
15278// They fight. Gene headbutts Hazanko.
15279
15280Hazanko: Blast you.
15281
15282Gene: Heh heh.
15283
15284// Hazanko attacks him with wires coming out of his body.
15285
15286Gene: Ah!
15287
15288Hazanko: I don't know why I'm wasting time like this when I can absorb you right into myself.
15289
15290Melfina: Gene, remember we're not alone anymore. Togehter, work together. Wake up Gene!
15291
15292Jim: Gene!
15293
15294Suzuka: Gene!
15295
15296Aisha: Gene!
15297
15298Gene: Okay!
15299
15300Hazanko: What the... huh?
15301
15302Gene: Ah!
15303
15304// Gene breaks free and everyone else appears. The Outlaw Star transforms.
15305
15306Hazanko: Die!
15307
15308// They fight. Hazanko dies.
15309
15310Hazanko: Ah!
15311
15312// Meanwhile, Melfina sees a girl who looks just like herself in cyberspace.
15313
15314Cyber Melfina: Melfina... Melfina... Melfina... I'm glad that we could meet Melfina.
15315
15316Melfina: Who are you?
15317
15318Cyber Melfina: The Galactic Leyline is going to be moved to a new location. I'm going with it so
15319I came to say goodbye to you.
15320
15321Melfina: You're me, aren't you?
15322
15323Cyber Melfina: Right. I'm the you thats the maiden of the Leyline. You don't need me anymore
15324right? After all, you know how to take care of yourself now and you know how you
15325can give your heart wings. Isn't that right Melfina?
15326
15327Melfina: Yes. Yes, thank you.
15328
15329Cyber Melfina: Goodbye.
15330
15331Melfina: Farewell.
15332
15333// The Galactic Leyline vanishes after Outlaw Star flies out.
15334
15335---------------
15336
15337To Be Continued
15338
15339---------------
15340
15341// At Blue Heaven...
15342
15343Swanzo: Pioneer McCoy. Grim Lotus. Hot Ice Hilda. When an outalw gets a reputation they really
15344get a nickname that fits them. Hmm... I wonder what would be a good one for that kid?
15345
15346Mikey: What about 'I'll pay you when I make it big' Gene?
15347
15348Swanzo: No, thats a little over the top. Now that you mention it, I hear he's back on Sentinel
153493, getting into all kinds of trouble.
15350
15351// At Clyde's Bar...
15352
15353Iris: Hey Clyde, guess what I heard, Gene's come back to Sentinel 3. How come he hasn't come in
15354yet?
15355
15356Clyde: I'm not sure. Good question.
15357
15358// At jail...
15359
15360Guard: Alright, get out Gene Starwind.
15361
15362// Outside, Jim gets him.
15363
15364Jim: I'm not surprised.
15365
15366Gene: Man, I can't believe they haven't forgotten about that.
15367
15368Jim: Just be glad that you're only getting off with a 200000 wong fine. You really trashed the
15369space port's equipment.
15370
15371Gene: Thats because we were attacked by those pirates, remember? Anyway, I hear the air traffic
15372controller was in on it.
15373
15374Jim: Thats why you're getting off with just a fine.
15375
15376Gene: Hmm. Hey, where did you get the 200000 from?
15377
15378Jim: Same place as always. He lent us what we needed to resupply. But he wants to hear how we're
15379planning to repay him, so whats the plan?
15380
15381Gene: A crime is a crime. If he can't wait until we make it big, we'll just have to skip town
15382on him.
15383
15384Jim: Hit it big huh?
15385
15386// At the spaceport...
15387
15388Fred: I can't believe Twilight Suzuka has been travelling with Gene all this time without me
15389knowing.
15390
15391Suzuka: Don't worry about it. My employer can't seem to get together the cash to pay my fees so
15392there's no longer any reason for me to try to hurt you.
15393
15394Fred: Actually, I had a little something to do with that. So, staying on with him? Well?
15395
15396Suzuka: Gene says that he's going to be headind to the Arasean system but I've already been
15397there so I think I'll decline and weigh out my other options.
15398
15399Aisha: I'm gonna try and make ends meet here somehow until the empire gives me the free ride
15400home they promised me.
15401
15402Jim: Hey Fred, are the parts loaded?
15403
15404Fred: They were loaded a long time ago. This brings my loan to you to about 1.6 million wong.
15405
15406Jim: Send the payment plans to that loser.
15407
15408Fred: Speaking of which, where's Gene?
15409
15410Jim: Um... he's out seeing someone.
15411
15412// Melfina is at the graveyard.
15413
15414Gene: Who's the bouquet for?
15415
15416Melfina: For everyone who's gone because of the Leyline. Its the least I could do.
15417
15418Gene: Thats nice.
15419
15420// He grabs her cheek like he did before.
15421
15422Melfina: Ugh.
15423
15424Gene: Hey, don't forget what happened to you back there. You are you, you know?
15425
15426// She does the same.
15427
15428Melfina: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I know I'm still me, thats all I need to know.
15429
15430Melfina and Gene: (laughs)
15431
15432Gene: Hey, what do you say we get out of here?
15433
15434
15435
15436Melfina: Sure.
15437
15438// They do stuff at the port and the ship gets ready to take off.
15439
15440Gene: Outlaw Star, now ready for liftoff.
15441
15442// It takes off
15443
15444---------------
15445
15446See You Later
15447
15448---------------
15449
15450// Later...
15451
15452Gene: Oh man... how the heck could we break down in the middle of nowhere like this?
15453
15454Jim: Because we keep cutting corners on our maintence bill.
15455
15456Gilliam: It seems the parts replacement and repairs have been completed.
15457
15458Repair Guy: The repairs are all done. Just sign here please.
15459
15460Gene: Yeah, fine.
15461
15462Repair Guy: Okay, thats everything. Bon voyage for now.
15463
15464Gene: Yeah right thanks a lot.
15465
15466// The guy leaves.
15467
15468Gene: Well, what do you say we get going... huh?
15469
15470// They find Aisha and Suzuka in the control room.
15471
15472Gene: Suzuka? Aisha? What are you two doing here?
15473
15474Suzuka: I've already been to some of these places, but it may prove more interesting with you
15475people. We hitched a ride with the Repair Ship guy.
15476
15477Aisha: And when I thought about it, you guys still owe me for all of those times I saved ya.
15478Until you guys pay me back in full, I don't think its going too far to say your ship and
15479all of its equipment belongs to me.
15480
15481Gene: Alright fine, you got me.
15482
15483Gilliam: It appears everybody is ready, I will prepare to get us underway.
15484
15485Melfina: Systems all green.
15486
15487Gene: Outlaw Star ready to launch.
15488
15489All: Roger.
15490
15491Narrator: Gene Starwind, native of planet earth, outlaw age 20. His partner is Jim Hawking, age
1549211, computer engineer. Additionally, it has been confirmed that his navigator is
15493Melfina. Rumor has it that he is accompanied by an assassin who goes by the name
15494Suzuka; and a Ctarl Ctarl named Aisha, but until we have more information this remains
15495unconfirmed. His ship is called the Outlaw Star. For a new outlaw yet to make a name
15496for himself, his reputation precedes him. However, the nickname he earns for himself
15497will depend on the effect of his future actions.
