As izana heads for the bridge nagate takes off his armor and after putting on cloths he starts activating the repair systems making small drones come out of the ship and start welding the damaged areas back together and as he sits down, he starts to go through the navigation data and says man the navigation systems are a mess. What could have corrupted them? Huh where's hoshijiro when I need her. He then goes to the window and as he watches the drones, he pulls out an old picture from his home and says never thought I see you again. Back with izana as she gets to the bridge, she hears yuhata say make shore to keep a security detail near the forward unto dawn. We still don't know what this nagates intensions are. Security-Understood mam ah sir. As the view screen turns off, she turns to izana, and replies Is that really necessary yuhata? Yuhata-Yes izana we still don't know what his intensions are or what he is. Izana-What he is? Yuhata-Izana he could be an imposter or something I'm just being cautious. Izana-But he's nagate. He may not be the nagate we grew up with but it's him just not the same. Yuhata-Exactly we have no idea who he is and if he's even kind.
Izana-He's kind yuhata. He sealed my wound during the misunderstanding. Yuhata-Wait you were shot and what misunderstanding. Izana-No the bullet only skimmed me. After I found him, the others thought he was harming me and attacked him, but he was able to defeat them all and when hamagata found a sniper weapon he fired but the bullet bounced off of him then hit a few walls then it skimmed me. Yuhata-I see. You should get that looked…wait its completely healed how? Izana-Nagate used a substance called bio foam and after he put it on the wound it completely healed. Yuhata-Interesting stuff. Izana-Just give him a chance yuhata. Yuhata-All try to but I'm still keeping a security detail near him to watch his ship. Izana-Alright. As yuhata takes her hands she says if you're not doing anything tonight can we go out to dinner. Izana-Shore if you promise to be there. Yuhata-I promise izana all be there. Izana-Alright then. All head back so I can get ready. Yuhata-Ok see you tonight.
Izana-See you tonight. They both hug then izana heads off to her home to get ready for tonight meanwhile on the dawn nagate is fixing a warthog while listening to music loudly and as he finished mounting a turret, he hears hey tanikaze. He turns to see hamagata with Kunato then says you got a second. Nagate turns down the music then says what you want and don't touch anything while you're on here. Hamagata-I promise I won't I just want to apologize for that incident earlier. Nagate-Its fine just next time watch your aim and don't touch my weapons without my permission. Hamagata makes a nervous look then says understood then Kunato steps in and says maybe we can make it up to you. Nagate-How? Kunato-Were going out for some drinks tonight with a few other friends would you care to join us? Nagate-I could never say no to a drink. I'd be happy to tag along but don't think this means you get off easy for shooting at me. Hamagata-It doesn't but I figured I treat you since I shot you. Nagate-I like the sound of that let me get changed and all join you guys. Hamagata says sounds good then nagate heads for his quarters to rinse down and change quick then as he walks out with them, he says I'm not going to get in trouble for going with you guys? Kunato-I think you should be fine as long as the guards don't try to stop you. Nagate-Great…hey I was wondering why was this ship named Sidonia? Kunato-Not shore exactly. One of our ancestors must have came up with the name after earth was split into two. Nagate-Come again? You said earth was split into two? Kunato-That correct. The gauna split the planet into two a thousand years ago and Sidonia is one of the many seed ships that were built and escape the soler system. Nagate-I see Hamagata-Don't worry, I bet once yuhata agrees to help you will figure out how you got here then you'll be able to get back to your Sidonia. Nagate-I'm not actually from Sidonia. Kunato-You're not. Then what seed ship you from? Nagate-That's a long story. Kunato and hamagata looked at each other confused then they continue on to the bar. Elsewhere izana arrives at a restaurant in a red and black dress and as she sits down a waiter comes up saying what can I get you to drink? Izana-All have plum wine with a bottle shochu for yuhata to start us off. Waiter-Very good all have that out for you in a moment. Izana-Thank you. As izana looks upwards she wonders what nagate is up to then calls yuhata, but she doesn't pick up making her worried. Back with nagate he meets with the others and after they greet him, they then sit down and nagate tells them about his home. Hamagata-So you weren't born on Sidonia you were born on a planet called reach?
Nagate-That's right. Mozuku- And earth still exists? Nagate-It does but… Kunato-But what did the gauna attack? Nagate-No the gauna don't exist in my universe but the covenant do. Kunato-What's the covenant? Nagate-They were a massive religious hegemony of multiple alien species that was ruled by the high prophet of Truth, Mercey and Regret. Hamagata-I see well they sound like a pretty cool alliance to join. Nagate-Not really after the covenant discovered one of our colonies called harvest, they launched a genocidal campaign against humanity and nearly wiped us out to seize forerunner technology. The group go silent after hearing what nagate said then hamagata says I'm sorry nagate. Nagate-It's alright hamagata you didn't know…Let's not bring up the past and have some fun, anybody up for a game of darts? Hamagata-You bet I rock at that game. Kunato-Really? I thought the only thing you were good at was fighting gauna. Hamagata makes a face while nagate laughs then they proceed to play. Back with izana hours go by as she waits for yuhata but has not arrived and calls her again but doesn't pick up. As the waiter comes up again, he says would you like anything else but izana replies sadly just a check is fine.
The waiter replies ok and as he heads off to get it izana says in her head so much for spending time together. After leaving the restaurant izana wonders around depressed and as she passes by the bar nagate is at four drunk pilots go up to her and say hey little lady hup aren't you hup pretty. Izana-Is there something I can help you with? Mako-Yes there is something you can help with. My boys and I were having some drinks, and we just happened to see walking by and thought you might want to join in and have some fun. Izana-Sorry but I'm not in the mood and I'm not interested in joining a group of drunk pilots. You know who I am right? Mako smirks then as he says I know who you are, and I don't care plus I wasn't really asking. He begins to grab her making Izana yell let go of me then before they can make a move on her someone grabs the drunk man's arm and says she said she's not in the mood. They turn to see its nagate and as mako pulls away; he says oh great it's the other nagate. What are you doing here? Nagate-Making shore you don't do something foolish. Now get going before you do something really stupid. As mako smiles, he pulls out his sword and says what are you going to do about it we got swords, and all you got is a small knife. As nagate smirks he lunges forward pulls out his small knife and as he puts it near his throat nagate replies that's the difference between you and me. I don't need big sword when I can do more damage with this and trust me, I've killed more enemies with this knife than I did with a sword. Now get lost. As nagate puts his knife away mako holsters his with an upset look and as they flea nagate goes to izana asking are you alright. Izana-I'm ok thank you nagate. Nagate-No problem…you just get back from a date? Izana-Yes but my date never showed up again. Nagate-Again has it happened before? Izana-It has. Since yuhata became the captain, she's been busy with projects and maintaining the ship. I rarely see her these days. Nagate-Don't you mean him? Izana-Not exactly yuhata was born a girl but she changed her gender to male so she could be with me but…Nagate-I understand I'm sorry if I asked too much. Izana-Its fine. I'm going to be heading home now.
Nagate-Can I at least walk you home I don't want those drunk pilots coming after you again. Izana-Shore thank you nagate. As they begin to walk hamagata comes out saying you heading out nagate. Nagate-I am. I'm walking izana back to her home thank you for the drinks I had a good time. Hamagata-No problem nagate lets do this again sometime. Nagate replies defiantly then he heads off with izana to her home. As they walk nagate says you alright izana you don't seem ok. Izana-It's just I was really hoping yuhata would show up tonight. Nagate-Give it time I know she'll come around. Izana-Maybe but I don't know…here we are. They arrive at izanas house and as she opens the door izana says thank you for walking me home nagate. Nagate-No problem izana…well I should head back to my ship. Izana replies ok then just before nagate heads back she says before you go nagate can I make you something to eat. I'd like to thank you for saving me earlier from those pilots. Nagate smiles then says shore and follows izana into her house. As he looks around, he replies nice digs izana looks nice. Izana-Thanks. All be back down in a minute need to change first. Nagate replies ok then as izana heads up he looks around the house and as he gets to a dresser, he sees some pictures on it.
As he picks one up, he notices that it's him but older then as izana comes down in a white sweater and black shorts he says is this your friend nagate? Izana-It is. He settled down on lem with tsumugi, and they both had a daughter. Nagate-I see that's nice of him. Izana replies yeah then as she heads to the kitchen, she says all get started on dinner. Nagate says ok, anything I can do to help? Izana-No its fine. Nagate replies ok then sits down at the table as izana begins making seaweed rice balls. Minutes later as izana finishes and walks over she says it's done seaweed rice ball. Nagate-Seaweed rice balls? Izana-Have you ever had them before? Nagate-Not really, I've only seen pictures of it from earth. As he sniffs it, he then takes a bite and as he chews it, he begins to smile then says this is so good. I've never tasted anything like this. Izana-I'm glad you like it. Hey, what's that necklace around your neck nagate? Nagate-It's a hologram necklace. Izana-A holo what? Nagate replies a hologram necklace then after he takes it off he opens it up and it displays his home planet reach. Izana-Is that your home? Nagate-It was. Reach was the crowning jewel in the unsc one of the biggest military industries such as shipyards and infantry and was the most populous planet out of all the colonies. Izana-What do you mean it was? As nagate looks down he then begins explaining the human covenant war and where he was. Izana-Did your grandfather survive the war? Nagate-My grandfather? Izana-The one who raised you or was it someone else? Nagate-It was my parents who raised me. Izana-I see. I hope they're doing, ok? Nagate-Their dead. Izana gets shocked at what he said then looks down sad and replies oh I'm sorry nagate. Nagate-Its ok. Izana- How did they die? Nagate-It was at the battle of Szurdok ridge. Another group of Spartans called noble team had discovered covenant army hiding camps. The unsc ground forces were tasked with destroying the surface to air cannon and after we succeeded two frigates were able to come down to provide air support. It was the Saratoga and the Grafton my parents' ship. I was south of the ridge with my team helping the wounded when I saw my parent ship enter the atmosphere. Noble team had managed to take down the shields to the camp and the grafton moved in and destroyed the camp with a mac cannon. Izana-That's amazing I guess the unsc won the battle.
Nagate-Not really the unsc had to disengage and fall back when the covenant super carrier long night of solace revealed itself and opened fires with its ventral energy projector destroying the Grafton. I Froze as I watched my parents ship go crashing down into the ridge. I tried to get to the crash site but there were too many covenant troops and had to fall back. After the battle I was able to get to the crash site and searched the wreck but the only thing I found left of them was my mother's necklace, the one I'm wearing now. Izana tears up from hearing his story then she goes over and hugs him then says I'm so sorry. He then hugs her back and says its ok izana thank you.
As they then look at each other izana notices a pair of dog tags with a diamond ring on the necklace and as she about to ask they hear a knock at the door making izana go to it and as she opens the door she sees its yuhata. Yuhata says hey izana but izana crosses her arms and replies you were late again. Yuhata-I know I'm sorry. I got caught up again in the development of the new guard and well…Izana-Tsk again with the excuses yuhata. Do I even matter to you anymore? Yuhata replies of course you do izana you matter to me then she sees nagate behind her and says what is he doing here? Izana-I invited him here after he saved me from some drunk pilots that tried to have their way with me. Yuhata-Wait guards pilots tried to have their way with you? Izana-Yeah and if it weren't for nagate they be hurting me. Yuhata-I understand. Before yuhata could say anything else her wrist communicator goes off. Yuhata-This is the captain what's going on? Crew-Captain the same type of gauna is attacking again they're at the 3rd security border. Yuhata-How did they approach undetected?
Crew-I don't know the gauna appeared out of nowhere before we could detect them. Yuhata-Deploy all on duty guards and have 30 on standby. Crew-Understood Nagate-What's going on? Yuhata-Sidonia is under attack by the gauna. Nagate-Gauna…you mean those shape shift aliens everybody is talking about. Yuhata-Yes and right now I need you to head to a nearby area for your safety. Izana get to the hanger if their the same type of gauna as before were going to need to find their cores. Izana says got it then as she heads there nagate says I can help yuhata. Yuhata replies Thanks nagate but I don't think a soldier will be able to help us right now then she heads off to the bridge. Nagate says I'm more than just a soldier then as he heads to the dawn he says in his head I'm not just going to sit around doing nothing. As yuhata gets to the bridge she yells out report how many gauna units are there. Crew-We count at least fifty units with one massive gauna behind them. Yuhata-Show me. The bridge crew bring up a view of the gauna and as yuhata looks at it she says what in the world. That gauna looks like a ship…I want all guard units to form a 2 by 2 grid and have 4 Mizuki ships launched. Crew-Yes sir. As the crew give out orders the guards squad launch and form the grid in front of Sidonia. Kunato-Bridge this is Kunato all guard units are in grid formation. Yuhata-Understood as soon as the gauna are in range take them out. Kunato-Understood. All units watch yourself if they are the new gauna types aim underneath that's their weakest spots. Pilots-understood. As the pilots begin to target the gauna izana begins to think and says the new gauna units, the discovery of the dawn and finding another nagate. Is this all connected somehow? She then hears over the coms all units this is the forward unto dawn.
Izana-Nagate what are you doing? Nagate-Thought you guys could use some help. Yuhata-Nagate what are you doing? Nagate-Providing support just in case. Yuhata-Thanks nagate but I think we got it covered with our ships just stay behind them. Nagate smirks then replies understood then as he stops behind Sidonia warships, he sees the gauna approaching and says What the? Those are the gauna. Kunato-Yeah not pretty are they. They usually look more like jellyfish, but they adapted somehow and are different. Nagate-All say…wait what the. Kunato-What is it nagate? Nagate replies Let me get back to you then he as he hangs up the channel making him say what was that about then he hears the crew say the small gauna units are in range. Kunato-Understood command. All guards target the under belly and open fire. The pilots say roger and they all open fire on the gauna units. Most of the pilots take out the gauna and some manage to slip by, but the second defense team takes them out. Hamagata-We got all the small units no take out that big…what the? Kunato-What in the world? Sidonia that gauna that looks like a ship isn't a gauna it's an actual alien ship. Yuhata replies understood then as she says all guards target the ship then she hears nagate say all units stand down this one is mine. Yuhata begins to say what are you but he then cuts the line and sees the forward unto dawn speed past the ships and guards towards the alien ship. Kunato yells nagate what are you doing but all he hears is static then izana says what's gotten into you nagate.
