Full Metal Panic! Sigma Volume 3

[Volume 3]

Translators Notes:
#1 This is not 100% word for word J-E translation as I find that it works poorly with conversion
I have also tried to simulate the appropriate language tone where possible.

#2 I really don't like translating sound effects so I will just do the literal equivalent with the alphabet
then let the editors decide what to do with the "sounds".
I will also generally ignore the background sounds.
(In my opinion, it just looks stupid in English like those Marvin comics)

P006

[ Oct 22nd, 17:08 (East China Standard time) ]
[ Kowloon Island Special zone: Jodan ]

( I abandoned the mission so I won't be able to return to <Mithril> anymore. )

( .... What should I do now? ]

( Return to Tokyo? )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P007

( Yeah, I'll go back to schoollike before..... )

Kaname: Why are you standing still Sousuke?

( and.... )

Kaname: Are you still asleep?
You're going to be late.

( with Chidori..... )

( ......no this is stupid. )
( without the mission, I have no means to stay there. )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P008

( I just don't care )
( anymore..... )

( Unknown A.S...... its the article on <Venom> )

( How is <Mithril> going to take down <Venom> without the <Arvarest>...? )

( Oh well, thats got nothing to do with me now... )
{ Gusha~ }

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P009

( This 3 line ad...... )

( Tsim Sha Tsui. )
( I have no idea who wrote it, but )

( [ To the son of Badakshan's Tiger. Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui ] )
( its a message directed at me. )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P010

( [The son of Badakshan's Tiger] is me, when I was with the leader of Afghanistan's Gurelilla, Majid. )
( "Hamidra" is the name of the comrade that owned an electrical store )
( He is already dead so this must mean to find a similar person at an electrical store. )
{ Tatsu~ }

Shop guy: You're the son of Majid, Kashim?
Sousuke: Yeah.
( Looks like I was right. )

Shop guy: I was asked to hand this to you.

Sousuke: By whom?
Shop guy: Strange looking western girl. I don't know anything else.

( North of Kowloon park..... )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P011

[ Oct 22nd, 19:09 (East China Standard Time) ]
[ South Sina Sea, <TDD> ]

Borda: There is no time for reconnaissance.
Launch all the M9 units on TDD-1 at once.

Borda: However I forbid you to use the <Arvarest>.

Tessa: But Sir!!
We still don't have a counter-strategy against the <Venom>.
We need atleast 2 more hours....

Borda: That is out of question.
The tension between the 2 armies are already at its limits.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P012

Borda: You have no other option but to target its only known weakness: Operation time.
You'll have to trust your subordinates.

( This is different from a normal mission.... )
( Some of them may not return this time )

( How can I make a decision like that.... )
Borda: I know its difficult Teletha.

Borda: I told you before that your fate lies at the "path of carnage"

Borda: I thought you decided to sit there, knowing that?
{Gyu ~}
Tessa: ..... That is correct.

Borda: Then proceed with the mission Colonel Teletha Testarossa.
Tessa: ..... Yes Sir.

Tessa: Bring it up to periscope,
We will launch all the M9 units while still submerged.
Tessa: Lastly, equipt the <Arvarest> with emergency booster on standby by the elevator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P013

Richard: With all due respect Captain, it is a mistake
to rely on Sagara, who has already abandoned his mission.

Tessa: I am fully aware of that.
Are you trying to lecture me now?

{ Piku~ }

Richard: You are disobeying the orders of your superiors due to personal interests.
Special treatment for a subordinate is unacceptable!!

Tessa: Well said. Then who kept forcing heavy responsibilities on that subordinate?
Richard: Thats.....

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P014

Tessa: WE DID!!
Speak up if you still disagree!!

Tessa: 6 months ago, WHO brought us vital information from that air base??

Tessa: 4 months ago, WHO defeated an enemy, far more powerful than even the Venom?

Tessa: 2 months ago, WHO put their own life on the line to save this ship?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P015

Richard: ........... Sergeant Sagara.

Tessa: If you want me to admit it, I will.
I love him.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P016

Tessa: But this has nothing to do with my personal feelings.
He will never abandon us.

Tessa: Because he is.....
strong and kind.

Richard: ..... Captain. Do you expect me to be convinced by that?
Tessa: Thats not the point is it?

Tessa: ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST ME OR NOT?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P017

Richard: You've become strong......

Richard: Understood. <Arvarest> on standby.
Man: Affirmative.

Tessa: Thank you.
I just want everyone to return safely.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P018

[ Inside <TDD> ]

Weber: ..... there you have it everyone.
Did someone open that channel on purpose?

Someone: Though, I still can't believe that Sagara abandoned his mission....

Weber: Thats only what Leutenant Colonel claimed.
Don't take it seriously.

Weber: I didn't expect Tessa to argue with the Vice captaion though.....
{ Pi pi ~}

Weber: [ I want everyone to return safely ] huh..
What do you think gentleman?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P019

Cruizo: Ofcourse thats the plan.
Man1: We can't disappoint our princess.
Man2: I didn't realise she worries about us so much..... I'm getting emotional??
Man3: She's a great officer.

Cruizo: If you're a professional, meet her expectations.
{ Gwun ~ }
Cruizo: I won't make a mistake, nor will you.
Everything will work out. Understood?

Everyone: Affirmative!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P020

[ Oct 22nd, 18:24 ( East China Standard time ) ]
[ Hong Kong Island Special zone ]
[ <Mithril> Intelligence Division Hong Kong branch ]

Hunter: Damn!!! If they could have just waited for another 2 hours,
This could have ended without an incident.

Woman: Director, there is a visitor for you.
Hunter: Please decline. I'm not in the mood right now.

Woman: Understood.....
Wraith: I'm in a hurry so I'm coming through.

Hunter: Huh? Why are you here....
Wraith: I have a small task to complete....
Kaname: Hey, how long do you intend to make me wait??

Hunter: Who is that noisy one?
Wraith: She's....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P021

[ Downtown area, north of Kowloon park ]
{ Vrrr~ }

{ Vrrrrrrrrrrrrr~ }
{ Gako~ }
( .... a mobile? )

Assasin: The building in front, 2nd floor, 5th door.
( This voice.... must be the girl who visited that electrical store )
Assasin: He is waiting for you.

Sousuke: He?
Assasin: I suggest you recall the name of this place.
{ Putsu~ }

( Kowloon.... )
( Gaolun..... )

( .........!! )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P022

( What!! Thats impossible...... )
{ Datsu~ }

{ Kashu~ }
( There is no way that he is still alive )

( I'm sure he died 2 months ago during that battle )
( on TDD-1!! )

( This must be a trap! )

{ Batsu~ }

( Though it all makes sense if it is him )
{ Giiii~ }

---------------------------------------------------------------
P023

Gaolun: Hey, you took your time?

( Is this some kind of nightmare? )
Sousuke: ........Ga

---------------------------------------------------------------
P024

Gaolun: I'm glad to see you again.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P025

Gaolun: Kashim~

Sousuke: Gaolun....
Gaolun: Hey, are you planning to shoot me with that?

Gaolun: I can understand though.
{ Zuru~ }

---------------------------------------------------------------
P026

Gaolun: Look at this body.

Gaolun: Lamda Driver saved me from that blast but.....

Gaolun: Half of my body became fish food before I was saved by a fishing boat.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P027

Gaolun: Can you imagine what it feels like to be eaten alive?
Hehehehehehehehe.

Sousuke: .... What do you want?

Gaolun: I just wanted to speak with you.
{ Gotsu~ }
Sousuke: Get real!!

Gaolun: Its the truth.
I knew that you'd be called out if I borrowed <Kodarl-M> from the organisation and cause a riot here.

Gaolun: That message was spread all over town.
Sousuke: You mean....that western girl?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P028

Sousuke: !!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P029

Assasin: I'll be going now.
Gaolun: I see, take care Rena.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P030

Assasin: Good bye Sensei.

Sousuke: That voice.... from the phone.
Gaolun: Thats right. Long time ago, I looked after
2 sisters who were in a similar situation like you. Rena is the younger sister.

Gaolun: Either case, she'll die either fighting <Mithril> or
by the assault squad from <Amalgam>.

Sousuke: Amalgam?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P031

Gaolun: Thats the name of the organisation I was working for.
Its objective is R&D of the latest weapon and its practical trials.
For that, they'll resort to terrorist activity and regional disputes.

Sousuke: Including the incident here in Hong Kong?
{ Gwoooon~} x2
Gaolun: This was just instigated by myself with the 2 sisters.
I'm sure <Amalgam> is in a bit of panic right now.

Sousuke: ..............
Gaolun: No more questions?
I'm offering a real bargain right now~

Sousuke: Does that organisation have an individual classified as a <Wispered>?

Gaolun: Yeah, a kid is one of the top members.
Sousuke: Then why are they still targetting Chidori Kaname?
There shouldn't be any need to.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P032

Gaolun: The knowledge of each <Whispered> is unique.

Gaolun: During the analysis on Sunan,
it was determined that she is a <Wispered>.

Gaolun: Thats all I'm saying on this topic.
Its boring and thats not the main issue here.

Sousuke: WHERE is <Amalgam> based??
WHAT are the names of its members?
Gaolun: You're really dedicated with your job....
Maybe you're just getting annoyed working for a peace keeping organisation called <Mithril>~~~??

Gaolun: You came alone...... was there some "trouble" between your friends?

Gaolun: I'm sure you've noticed already....
How unnatural it is to be with <Mithril>.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P033

Gaolun: Remember
the first time we met 5 years ago.

[ 5 years ago, Afghanistan ]
{ Kiki~ }

Gaolun: Hey kid.

Gaolun: Did you kill them all?

Sousuke: Yeah.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P034

Gaolun: Your name?

Sousuke: Kashim.

Gaolun: As you cleaned up the burnt bodies, your eyes looked really great.
It was like the eye of a Saint.... no sign of doubt or pain.

Gaolun: You killed others just like taking a breath.
There was no judgement on life.
Sousuke: Shut up.
Gaolun: I'm sure thats what people call "Beautiful".

---------------------------------------------------------------
P035

Gaolun: Yet.... what do I see now.....
Gaolun: You look just like those other insects around the place.

Gaolun: You've lost your edge being around <Mithril> and those people at that school.
You've being tamed by the weak with this crap about "friends" and "Trust"

Sousuke: SHUT UP!!!

Gaolun: You've even lost your killer instinct.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P036

Sousuke: shut up.....
( Its true, I've become weak after being with <Mithril>, Jindai High....
and meeting her )

Gaolun: To help you get rid of that timid Kashim,
I ordered to kill that "Cancer".

Sousuke: ..... Cancer?

Gaolun: That WOMAN Kashim.

Gaolun: I heard that cute uniform was in tatters.....
{ Gatan~ } x2
Gaolun: Ahehehehe ahehehe ahehee
Last words were "Sorry". I wonder who that was to~~ How sad~~

---------------------------------------------------------------
P037

Sousuke: Th..... thats a lie.
Gaolun: Its the truth. I wanted to show you the photo to see you in despair
but I guess I'll let that pass~~

Gaolun: Afterall, the damage is quite obvious for Kashim???
That girl in Tokyo~~ Its too late now~~

Gaolun: Kaname-chan~~~ She was a nice girl too~~

Sousuke: GAOLUN!!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P038

Gaolun: THATS RIGHT. I KILLED HER.
HATE ME!!

Man1: You're a tough one Sergeant.....

( ..........? Hunter's men? )
{ Haaa~ } x2

Man1: We came to inform you that Venom is hiding around
the museum of Kowloon castle......
but it looks like this is too late now.

(.... That sound!! )
Man1: We're out of time.
Its an all out fight vs the Venom.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P046

Sousuke: No way, how are they going to beat it without the <Arvarest>.....
Man: <Arvarest> is being sent here apparently.

Sousuke: .... What do you mean?

Man1: I don't know the details.
We're going to search the items left behind at the hideout.
Sousuke: Hey....

( Are they planning )
( to make me pilot the <Arvarest>??? )

( I hope that there is someone important that you want to protect)

{ Giiitsu~ }

---------------------------------------------------------------
P047

Sousuke: I've had enough already.

( Gaolun..... must have foreseen that I would escape).
( Knowing that my survival instincts would have saved me even if I lost someone important )
( He must have meant "I'll die now....but you will continue to suffer".... huh )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P048

( Chidori is dead )

( I've seen many deaths )
( I guess she just joined that gloomy album )

( The light in my heart has disappeared.... but no tears )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P049

( I knew it already )
( No matter how far I reached out )

( There was never a future for me in the first place )

Sousuke: What a landing..... the worst.
( .... its almost like me )

( Thats right, we're the worst possible combination )

( I hate you just like you do)

---------------------------------------------------------------
P053

( Just walk away )
( In this world, everyone dies just like Chidori Kaname and my comrades in Afghanistan )

( Resistance is futile )
( Give up )

Sousuke: ........ You can rot here.
( Yeah, I don't care anymore about anything )

Kaname: What are you mumbling to yourself?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P054

Sousuke: ......... Chidori?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P055

# Image only #

---------------------------------------------------------------
P056

Sousuke: You're..... unharmed?

Sousuke: ..... I thought you were.... dead...

Kaname: Who said I'm dead!!!
{ Buuu~ }

Kaname: I took all the trouble to come here......
and you thought I'm "DEAD"??
Sousuke: Well you see....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P057

Kaname: Until just then, I was planning to jump into your arms
.... I thought I'd even get that "Feeling"....

Kaname: I've completely lost the mood now!! What are you going to do about it?
Sousuke: Uhhhh, I'm not fully understanding.....

Kaname: This is the pain in my heart!
{ Mugyu~ }

Kaname: This is the pain in my body!!
{ Gofuu~ }

Kaname: And this ....is the

---------------------------------------------------------------
P058

Kaname: PAIN IN MY SOUL!!!

P059

Kaname: Fushu~
{ Dotsu~ }

---------------------------------------------------------------
P060

Sousuke: How did you know where to go?
Kaname: <Wraith>

Kaname: I threatened to bust him for the screw up if he didn't bring me to you.
It was easy after seeing that A.S on the news.

Sousuke: But this is a warzone. Its too dangerous!!
Kaname: I know that!!

Sousuke: Then why....
Kaname: Well......

Kaname: Umm.... to end it like that is..... well....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P061

Sousuke: Huh?
Kaname: You quit school and went somewhere suddenly so
I thought I'd find you and drag you back if I had to.

Kaname: Because I......
Sousuke: You.....

Kaname: I.....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P062

Kaname: I'm the Class representative!!

Kaname: You've got cleaning duty right???
Who's going to get rid of the rubbish if you're not around?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P063

Kaname: Before you worry about the classroom, go and clean up the rubbish in this city.
Sousuke: I see... but....

Kaname: I know

Kaname: You're the type of person who can't sit still when people are in trouble.

Sousuke: But Chidori, I abandoned you..... I knew that you didn't have anyone else to rely on...
yet I.......

Kaname: I know.... you couldn't say it right?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P064

Kaname: Geez.... you're such a coward.
Sousuke: .....a coward?

Kaname: Yes... a real coward.
But someone who is strong and kind.
Hopeless guy but somehow gets the job done.
Thats.... the "real" Sousuke I think.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P065

Sousuke: The real me.....

( Thats right. I'm weak and full of contradictions.
I'm not a hero that saves the world but )
( I might be able to save the friends around me )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P066

Kaname: So, what now?
Sousuke: Its obvious.

Kaname: Sousuke.

Kaname: World History exam that you've got bad credits for is tomorrow during the 5th class .
You'll make it right?

Sousuke: Ofcourse.

Uruz 1: Thanks Uruz 6.
Weber: You owe me twice now Major.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P078

Kalinin: Birth 1 to Uruz 1.
Report your damage.


Uruz 1: This is Uruz 1. Lost the right arm and damage to several sections.
I won't be able to move for much longer.

Kalinin: Understood. Retreat 3 blocks to the south and
lead the enemy towards Area 11A to the SW.

Uruz 1: Uruz 1. Affirmative.

Kalinin: Birth 1 to all teams.
Detected life signal of Uruz 8
Intelligence Division is currently on route for extraction.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P079

Kalinin: 300 Sec has passed since the start of battle.

Kalinin: Hold off for another 100 Sec. The flow of this battle will come our way.

( As Kalinin indicated, Venom's movement is becoming slow ).
( If there is no trouble, we can take it down )

( Our strategy Wins!! )

Uruz 1: .... This can't be

Kalinin: Whats wrong Uruz 1. Don't stop or the Venom will catch up.

Uruz 1: Damn...

Mr K: Stealing our "Type-M" unit and causing havoc
outside of our strategic plans.... have you lost your mind?


---------------------------------------------------------------
P084

Assasin: Mr K, You're the one that has lost your mind.

Assasin: <Amalgam> was responsible for the loss of my sister's homeland.
If this troubles you guys then I am satisfied.

Mr K: Sister....?
Oh you mean this?

Mr K: I asked Mr Ag for it even though he wanted a proper funeral.
I'm however not the type that forgives traitors.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P089

Mao: RETREAT!! The operation is cancelled.
Cruizo: I can't get any output.

Kalinin: Birth 1 to Uruz1. Abandon unit and initiate emergency eject.
Mr K: By the way, you're the <Mithril> guys right?

Mr K: Good timing for combat training.
Taking down just 1 unit isn't enough so we're going
to take you guys down as well.

Kalinin: I repeat. Birth 1 orders all units to retreat immediately.

( There is no time to open the hatch and escape)

Cruizo: Mao, leave me and go.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P090

Cruizo: I can give you enough time to escape.
Mao: Idiot!! I can't leave you behind!!

Mr K: Well then.... good bye!

Cruizo: I SAID MOVE MAO!!
Mao: Hmmm..

Cruizo: Something more important than a mission.

P102

Pilot: Are you ok Mr K?
Mr K: What.... I thought <Mithril> didn't have a fully functional Lamda Driver??

Pilot: Should we retreat?
Mr K: Don't be stupid. I can't return empty handed
after getting damaged like this!!

Mr K: We're taking down that A.S!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P103

Sousuke: 5 Venom units.....

General: I cannot approve the use of <Arvarest> as a threat to disobey the decisions of the superiors.

Sousuke: I am not threatening or opposing you in any way.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P132

Sousuke: I am simply suggesting a modification to the contract.
If you cannot accept that then....

Sousuke: I will just leave this organisation.

General: You've got a lot of nerve Sergeant!!
Do you honestly think that you can continue your lifestyle with me as your enemy?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P133


Sousuke: Let me say this, General......

Sousuke: I've not sold my soul to <Mithril>.
I will simply do things my way.

What is there to be angry about.

Malloy: What do you think Admiral?

Admiral: Well.... I agree.... though its not
something we can announce in public.

Malloy: What about Professor Penrose?

Penrose: The research division feels Sergeant Sagara is
essential material for future research on Lamda Driver.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P136

Malloy: Very well. Is there any further objections?

Malloy: There appears to be no objections Colonel Testarossa.
You must have a hard time with these subordinates.

Tessa: Sorry about my behaviour before the Hong Kong operation.

Sousuke: Ah, well.... my apologies also.
Tessa: Its not your fault.
I was jealous of Kaname-san and I took it out on you...

I just wanted to make that clear.

Tessa: Sagara-san....

Tessa: We're still friends.... right?

---------------------------------------------------------------

( I wonder why I hadn't noticed that before? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P141

Sousuke: Ofcourse.

Sousuke: If you are willing to accept me as your friend,
then perhaps you will forgive me for this statement.

Tessa: Huh.... sure....

( If we were friends at school? What do you say between friends? )
Sousuke: Tessa.... Sorry I'm always a burden to you.

Tessa: Eh...
Sousuke: You carry a lot of responsibility on your shoulders....
I think you're really amazing.

Postscript Mission 3:

Thank you, this is Full Metal Sigma Vol 3.
[ Ending day by day ] series has ended peacefully at last.
Sousuke, who seemed unstable upto the final moment has
finally started to act like the hero. I suppose
this is the characteristic for the leading character?

That being said, the real hero might actually
be Kaname instead (LOL!)

Tessa's appearance was minimal for this series so I've
decided to use her for the postscript image.
The A.S in the background is designed specifically for Tessa
( Its made to withstand damage from falling over )

From Vol 4 onwards, there will be a few small series before
returning to the long series once again.
Please look foward to it!
