▶▶ Report: Pod 042

5012 AD.

Lifeforms otherwise known as ＜Aliens＞ begin their invasion of Earth.

Since mankind escaped to the moon, the ground battle between the ＜androids＞ created by humans and the ＜Machine Lifeforms＞ created by the Aliens has continued for a long time.

This craft is the accompanying support unit entitled ＜Pod 042＞.

In the 243rd Descent Operation held March 10, 11945, this unit will support Android ＜2B＞ of the ＜YoRHa Soldiers＞. Thereafter, this unit will report regular mission status in tandem with ＜Pod 153＞, the unit supporting YoRHa Aircraft Solider ＜9S＞ in this joint operation.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report:

During the investigation in the Desert Zone, several unique entities not found in previously recorded data were confirmed. Entities confirmed were characterized as “machine lifeforms capable of speech” and “machine lifeforms that closely resemble androids”. Details uploaded to the server.

In addition, both units 2B and 9S received orders from Command to search for YoRHa Soldiers.

It appears that contact has been lost with the missing unit during their ground mission.

Origin of black box signal has been detected. Proposal: Begin search for the target at the corresponding point.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report:

Communication lost with 9S, the individual of this unit’s accompanying support.

While acting alone, 9S encountered a unit appearing to be ＜A2＞ in an abandoned building located in the Flooded City and began pursuit.

Strong jamming signal emission confirmed throughout the area at the time.

Hypothesis: 9S fell into an untraceable status while trying to restore communications.

Proposal: Call 2B for assistance and begin searching.
