{Colonel } Captain Folkken should have been right behind you.
{Reinhard} I don't know.
{Reinhard} It's possible that he encountered the enemy on the way.
{Reinhard} We were lucky to have defeated the enemy.
{Reinhard} But, why is this?
{Reinhard} Ordering us to perform solo reconnaissance.
{Reinhard} I heard someone would provide support.
{Colonel } I felt uncomfortable for sending just you two.
{Colonel } It would appear that my concerns were unnecessary.
{Reinhard} Commander
{Reinhard} The navigational data we've obtained from the enemy's armored vehicle
{Reinhard} should enable us to find the location of the enemy base.
{Reinhard} In return, how about if we assault their base?
{Colonel } We go assault them?
{Reinhard} The enemy spent significant amount of resources in the recent attack.
{Reinhard} Having lost so much, the enemy's base has fewer people now.
{Colonel } But, our losses were not light either.
{Reinhard} But to the enemy, we can disable their tank's computer by remote control.
{Reinhard} We may still be able to exploit this now.
{Reinhard} But the enemy will soon change their program codes.
{Reinhard} Therefore, I think we should not lose this opportunity.
{Colonel } Did he not realize (the truth)?
{Colonel } Was Captain Folkken really killed by the enemy?
{Colonel } Do I still have the opportunity?
# (Lit: Then is there still opportunity?")
{Reinhard} What do you think, Colonel?
{Colonel } Then, in battle...
{Colonel } Very well.
{Colonel } Assemble the troops immediately and advance to the enemy's base.
{Colonel } You two will come along as guides.
{Reinhard} Yes Sir!
{Siegfred} How did it go?
{Reinhard} Smoothly proceeding.
{Reinhard} He might want to use the chaos on the battlefield to accomplish his original goal.
{Reinhard} It'd be a good opportunity then.
{Siegfred} But, to use Reinhard-sama as bait,
{Siegfred} isn't this overly dangerous?
{Reinhard} That's why I want to you look from behind.
{Reinhard} Thus, I can brave any danger.
{Siegfred} But...
{Reinhard} I understand there will be some degree of risk.
{Reinhard} But, if we don't let Colonel Hierda show his tail, and grab onto his tail,
{Reinhard} We cannot catch (Susanna Von) Benemunde.
{Reinhard} Can't be helped.
{Siegfred} Understood, I will protect you.
{Reinhard} I shall depend on you.
{Colonel } The base of the traitors who call themselves Free Planet Alliance
{Colonel } Has been found at position 54, 0126.
{Colonel } This position is by a mountain peak.
{Colonel } On one side is a sheer cliff.
{Colonel } The other side is facing mountain terrain.
{Colonel } To the North and West are armored vehicle roads.
{Colonel } Since our objective is to destroy the traitors,
{Colonel } we cannot allow them to escape from one side to the other.
{Colonel } Therefore, we will divide into 2 groups, attacking the enemy's base from North and West.
{Colonel } One group will be lead by Lt. Colonel (Oberstleutnant) Matteir
{Colonel } The other I shall command directly.
{Colonel } Our army's armored vehicles have been reduced in number.
{Colonel } But the enemy has sustained much heavier damage.
{Colonel } Do not lose this good opportunity when our forces are superior.
{Colonel } In one fell swoop, clean out the enemy from this planet.
{Colonel } May every fight well.
{Soldier1} What's up with the Colonel?
{Soldier1} He's very eager.
{Soldier2} Usually, he dislikes the freezing weather and doesn't step out of the base.
{Soldier1} It's not an eager atmosphere (feeling).
{Soldier1} Because of the enemy's surprise attack, we've sustained damages.
{Soldier1} If there isn't better performances, he cannot explain this to our country.
{Soldier1} So he has to give it all.
{Soldier2} To be the people accompanying him is really bad.
{Solider1} That it is.
{Reinhard} What is it?
{Soldier1} Lt. Musel, the Colonel asked for you.
{Reinhard} Lt. Musel reporting.
{Colonel } Come in and close the door.
{Reinhard} What is it?
{Colonel } Using the radio will reveal our position to the enemy.
{Colonel } Therefore I asked for you to come.
{Colonel } After inspecting the maps you obtained, I discovered...
{Colonel } In the mountain ranges to the south of the enemy base.
{Colonel } Couldn't someone descend from this path?
{Reinhard} We cannot eliminate this possibility.
{Colonel } Yes then,
{Colonel } I said earlier that our objective is to destroy the enemy.
{Colonel } We must block all possible escape routes from the enemy.
{Colonel } Therefore, you and Cadet Lieutenant Kiercheis,
{Colonel } are to take control of this path from the foot of the mountain.
{Reinhard} Just the two of us?
{Colonel } You are aware that we don't have spare troops to send.
{Reinhard} Understood.
{Colonel } I should remind you, do not use the radio.
{Colonel } Use messenger troops for communication.
{Reinhard} Waiting for Kiercheis to leave (while delivering a message), so you can come and do it?
{Reinhard} Understood.
{Reinhard} Just as I expected.
{Reinhard} Sending just us to perform other maneuvers.
{Siegfred} And then?
{Reinhard} Plus devising a plan to get me alone, so he can come and do it.
{Reinhard} Didn't even try to hide it.
{Reinhard} But, I'll get my chance at that time.
{Reinhard} We've killed Folkken, but we must capture (Colonel) Hierda alive.
{Reinhard} We want him to testify that the mastermind is Benemunde.
{Reinhard} Must cut off our troubles at its root.
{Reinhard} Otherwise sister Annerose may face danger.
{Siegfred} But, I don't think it'd be easy to get him to testify.
{Reinhard} That is true, therefore I have a plan.
# Commercial break (insert your own commercials here, this is a OAV!).
{Colonel } Start the attack!
{Reinhard} It has started.
{Siegfred} Earlier than expected.
{Reinhard} Let's hurry.
{Siegfred} Aye.
{Announcr} The Alliance troops fought hard to resist the attack.
{Announcr} But, having lost mobile capability, they couldn't last long.
{Announcr} Soon after, they lost their counterattack capability.
{Colonel } Move in!
{Commandr} Move in!
{Reinhard} Okay, we've arrived.
{Siegfred} Then, let's follow the plan.
{Colonel } You!
{Reinhard} Don't move!
{Reinhard} I knew you'd use the confusion to assassinate me.
{Reinhard} You thought I'd fall into your trap.
{Reinhard} But the one to fall into the trap is you.
{Colonel } Bastard.  What can you do by yourself?
{Colonel } Don't take me so lightly.
{Colonel } I've been through quite a few battles.
{Colonel } Did you think an inexperienced kid (like you) could me my opponent?
{Colonel } Having risked my life many times in battle,
{Colonel } I've finally obtained the position I have today.
{Colonel } But I'm still a front line commander,
{Colonel } on this ice-covered, sun-less remote border planet,
{Colonel } away from my family.  
# (lit. "Cannot see my family")
{Colonel } I do not wish to continue fighting at this desolate place.
# (lit. "at this place where I do not know it's tomorrow", probably because he cannot see the Sun).
{Colonel } Killing you, I'd be able to return to the warmth and safety back home.
{Colonel } You who obtained your rank because of your sister,
{Colonel } how can you understand?
{Colonel } You're too naive!
{Colonel } This is it, kid.
{Siegfred} Are you okay, Reinhard-sama?
{Reinhard} Kiercheis!
{Reinhard} I won't kill you, you're an important witness.
{Colonel } Witness?
{Reinhard} Yes, proof that it was Lady Benemunde who commanded you.
{Colonel } What?  Why do you know this?
{Reinhard} Folkken told me before he died.
{Reinhard} Because he was overjoyed and forgot what he was doing, he said too much before he died.
{Colonel } No, I won't testify.
{Colonel } If I deny it, there won't be any evidence.
{Colonel } Even if you insist that you heard it
{Colonel } My testimony as a colonel versus a Lieutenant's testimony
{Colonel } Who do you think the military court will believe?
{Reinhard} There is a third witness.
{Colonel } Cadet Lieutenant Kierchies?
{Colonel } Isn't he equivalent to your household servant?
{Colonel } He doesn't qualify as a witness.
{Siegfred} It's not me.
{Colonel } Why is Matteir here?
{Reinhard} The Lt. Colonel will be a witness to your words.
{Reinhard} That's why Kierchies went to invite him.
{Reinhard} Can you still deny like this, Colonel?
{Reinhard} I'm the Emperor's favorite concubine's younger brother.
{Reinhard} Plotting to murder me will be punished as treason.
{Reinhard} Even if it's Lady Benemunde
{Reinhard} cannot escape punishment.
{Colonel } Treason...
{Colonel } Punishment for treason is execution for the entire clan.
{Siegfred} Heilda!
{Reinhard} Oh no.
{Reinhard} Lt. Colonel Matteir
{Reinhard} What Colonel Hilda said here.
{Reinhard} Will you act as a witness?
{Matteir } While attacking the enemy base, Colonel Hilda
{Matteir } died bravely in battle.
{Matteir } The official record would say that.
{Siegfred} Lt. Colonel!
{Matteir } For destruction of the enemy base, you two have gained great accomplishments.
{Matteir } I will also report this.
{Matteir } You two will rise in rank and switch to fleet service, as you've wished.
{Matteir } For now, be satisfied with this.
{Matteir } I can only do this much.
{Siegfred} Reinhard-sama.
{Announcr} What Matteir said was correct.
{Announcr} Reinhard and Siegfried were soon transferred.
{Announcr} Six months later, Bierlein base was attacked again by the Alliance troops.
{Announcr} Base commander Matteir and the entire base's personnel were killed.
{Siegfred} I'm sorry, I wasn't able to help.
{Reinhard} No, you saved me when I was in danger.  That is enough.
{Siegfred} But...
{Reinhard} It'd have been the same with someone else.
{Reinhard} Not many would intervene in the Imperial Court's internal conflicts.
{Reinhard} What is that?
{Siegfred} A neighboring planet.
{Siegfred} It's a gas giant planet.
{Siegfred} Slowly pulling this planet nearer.
{Siegfred} After tens of thousands of years, it'll cross over the boundary.
{Siegfred} Planet Kapche-Lanka will become an asteroid belt.
{Siegfred} Its name is...
{Reinhard} I remember.
{Reinhard} It's Planet Wakse-Nize.
# Spelling for that planet is 100% certain to be incorrect.
{Siegfred} Yes.
{Announcr} In the skies above that planet
{Announcr} Reinhard will later encounter the most powerful opponent in this life.
{Announcr} Though he does not realize this right now.
{Reinhard} It'd be good to obtain the galaxy.
{Siegfred} Yes.  Let's go, Reinhard-sama.
{Reinhard} Let's go, Kiercheis.
{Reinhard} to the sea of stars.
{Benemunde} Why did you fail?
{Doctor   } Colonel Hilda was killed in battle, we cannot continue.
{Doctor   } We must go to the kid's newly transferred location,
{Doctor   } and find new people who'd obey our orders.
{Benemunde} This is taking too long!
# Lit: "Makes people impatient"
{Doctor   } That is true, but it's difficult to find trustworthy people.
{Doctor   } If the secret is revealed...
{Benemunde} Although it's like this,
{Benemunde} why don't we just send assassins?
{Doctor   } Regardless, we must carefully select the people (person).
{Benemunde} Anyway, kill that kid quickly.
{Benemunde} Then afterwards, 
{Benemunde} it'd be good for that little girl to die of grief.
{Benemunde} Isn't it?
{Doctor   } Yes.
{Benemunde} Yes, wait and see.
{Benemunde} That kid, that girl.
{Announcer} Afterwards, Lady Benemunde's demonic claws,
{Announcer} will again reach out to Reinhard and Annerose.
{Announcer} Until Reinhard completely removed the danger.
{Announcer} It'd have to wait several years.
