participated in battle as part of the commando unit.

It is predicted that the initiation of our publicly unannounced mission is in the near future.

RECOMMENDATION: Preparation of the final sequence.

Ch. 07: 9S’s Story/Casualty

“DESTRUCTION OF THE CENTRAL UNITS OF THE ENEMY NETWORK, ADAM AND

EVE—CONFIRMED. Currently there is disorder in the enemy government. Making use of this

opportunity, the human forces have called for a full-scale attack on the Machines. Of course, we

YoRHa squadron troopers are to cooperate as well.”

Out of the corner of his eye, 9S stared at the commander’s face projected on Pod’s

communication display while he walked along the city ruins. A twig he stepped on produced a

dry crack as it split.

“Remember! The pain of having your home taken away!”

It’s not like my home was taken away, 9S replied in his head. The YoRHa androids were

manufactured in orbit, not on Earth. But the commander had not specified whose homes had

been taken away. It didn’t have to be explained to the other troops, as he was probably the only

one who thought this way. The subject, in this case, was “humanity,” and not “us.”

It was clever wordplay. It made you feel as if you had to fight, if you were fighting for

“humanity’s pain of having their home taken away.” It made you feel like you had to act for

humanity. That’s how androids were programmed.

“We will not give up! We will take back what the Machines took from us—the ocean, the sky,

and the land!”

This was where the subject “we” came up. The words “we will not give up” were built on the

feelings of obligation toward humanity and its “pain.” It made you feel that you could fight until

the end for humanity’s sake. It was a textbook example of a speech to raise morale within the

force.

He slightly hated himself for thinking this way. And he was a little bitter toward the

commander, who had given him the freedom to choose. Talk about asking the wrong person.

He couldn’t believe it when he was told to make his own decision. There had been no

punishment, even after he had confessed to accessing the main server without authorization.

9S had come across a small noise while syncing his and 2B’s battle data with the main

server’s data. Unable to ignore the kink, 9S decided to investigate the main server.

He hadn’t ignored the issue and carried on, because recently he had been noticing some type

of presence. A feeling of being watched, or that something was nearby. But it was such a minute

presence that it was easily dismissible as a trick of the mind.

He had felt the presence for the first time in the server control room. As if someone were

staring at the display over his shoulder while he was working. But Operator 21O had come in

immediately after, so 9S had thought it was her presence and had forgotten about it.

Next was at the hangar. He felt as though he was being observed from behind a pillar while

entering a flight unit. But it had been an emergency dispatch, so he didn’t have time to check.
