Robomi - Chapter 1: A Warrior Resurrected - Episode 2

The crew determines that Robomi isn't a primal beast or dangerous. But right when they least expect it, the town comes under attack from monsters that seem impervious to even (Captain)'s attacks.

---

Vyrn: So, this Robomi thing isn't some kind of primal beast, is it?

Nicholas: Probably not. Robomi is probably some kind of machina soldier, just like we theorized.

Robomi: ...

Vyrn: Oh, we thought it would be a primal beast for sure because it was made so long ago.

Nicholas: Ah well, it doesn't seem to be dangerous. It's quite docile, in fact. Oh, and check this out.

Nicholas: Robomi, jump!

Robomi: ...
Intentions unclear. Requesting command details.

Nicholas: It can be difficult to give them, but she responds to orders.

Vyrn: Well, as long as it's not dangerous!

Lyria: Hm, I wonder what Robomi is.

Dr. Rashomon: Evidence is strong that it's even older than the primal beasts.

Dr. Rashomon: The War, where primal beasts were used as weapons, was but several hundred years ago, or perhaps a thousand depending on the theory.

Dr. Rashomon: The rocks at the level where Robomi was excavated are tens of thousands of years old.

Lyria: What? Tens of thousands of years?

Vyrn: Can't believe it...

Vyrn: They were able to build machina soldiers all the way back then? That's crazy.

Nicholas: Yeah, I can't wrap my mind around it either! That's why it's so fascinating! Robomi is a technological marvel!

Dr. Rashomon: Hm, no doubt the civilization which built her was far more advanced than our own.

Dr. Rashomon: If we can reverse engineer and reproduce their technology, our own civilization will see progress in leaps and bounds!

Dr. Rashomon: We must see what else lies within the excavation site. Who knows—

Lyria: Eek!

Vyrn: Whoa! An explosion?

Nicholas: What could possibly have the power to create an explosion that loud? That was battleship armament class!

Vyrn: Scary... What the heck's goin' on?

Marie: Dad! We're in trouble!

Dr. Rashomon: What's going on, Marie?

Marie: Monsters are overrunning the town! We're being advised to evacuate and get away as soon as possible.

Nicholas: Monsters? Shouldn't the town guards be able to take care of that?

Marie: They tried! Now skyfarers have taken up the fight, but they can't hold the monsters off much longer!

Vyrn: What!

Nicholas: This sounds serious...

Dr. Rashomon: Hm. Marie, prepare the ship to take the evacuating civilians in!

Marie: But we might not have enough time!

Dr. Rashomon: Don't worry! We're prepared for this eventuality!

Nicholas: Doc, you saying what I think you're saying?

Dr. Rashomon: It's the best chance we have! Prepare for launch! Nicholas, supervise the evacuees!

Nicholas: Got it!

Nicholas: Robomi! You'll be safe here—stay put and don't move! All right?

Robomi: Affirmative.

Nicholas: Everyone! This way! It's safe inside!

Lyria: Please stay calm and evacuate to the ship!

With Nicholas and (Captain)'s guidance, the townspeople make their way into the research vessel.

(Captain) and company keep guard at the ship's entrance, preparing for the worst.

Child: Waaah! Mommy, I'm scared!

Mother: It's all right! Don't cry! We're going to be fine.

Skyfarer 1: C'mon, man! Get up!

Skyfarer 2: Ngh. That thing got me good...

Marie: Oh no, are you all right? Quick, we need to tend to those wounds!

Vyrn: Hey, the skyfarers are looking pretty beat up. These aren't your average monsters!

Nicholas: The monsters... I see them.

Looking through the town with his binoculars, Nicholas gasps.

Vyrn: What's up, Mecha-Nick?

Nicholas: Those monsters are rampaging through the town. I've never seen ones like these before. And there are so many of them!

Nicholas: There's far too many of them to have been brought here on some ship. What's going on?

Monster: Groarrr!

Nicholas: Whoa!

Vyrn: It's attacking! Get back!

Nicholas: Damn it!

Marie: Nicholas!

Lyria: Nicholas is in danger, (Captain)! Please help him!

With weapon in hand, (Captain) lunges at the monster attacking Nicholas.

Monster: Groarrr!

Monster: Groooarrr!

Vyrn: Wha! That didn't even leave a scratch!
