#12 Rescue ②

p2
Gnnnn

p3
Tch, I can't open it...
Some of the systems and the ship's control broke down due to the accident

p4
Whoa

p5
Looks like the balancer is screwed up, if a thruster fires on its own
With this, it'll be too dangerous for No. 2 to approach us as well
//...In that case

2
p1
In theory, No. 2 will maintain the status quo until the rescue squad arrives
But in reality, the HQ will abandon us...
box: {story so far}

p2
Should we restore the systems and fly back under our own power...?

p3
All or nothing, should we open the emergency hatch!?
An explosive is used to send the hatch flying, so there won't be going back

p4
You might say we'll have to give up on the idea of regaining air pressure in that case

p5
But if we open it, what then!?
Can I get 40 ASCANs with insufficient EVA training safely to No. 2!?

3
p1
It's like jumping from one speeding bus to another!!
While one of them is running out of control on top of that!!

p2
With bad timing, you're likely to be sent flying off to nowhere

p3
Everyone, calm down and listen!!

p4
Taking into account the present situation, the air supply in our EMUs will not last until the rescue squad gets here
Given the condition of our ship, we can't expect any rescue from No. 2 either

p5
Oh- Oh no...
What'll happen to us!?

p6
Therefore...
Instructor Dangouzaka!!

4
p1
No. 2 is drawing closer to us!!
What!?

p2
Yeah!!
No. 2 is coming to rescue us!!

p3
What are you planning to do, Shitara!?

p4/5

p1
Let's do the final recap of our mission

p2
Starting now, we will touch down on No. 1 carrying spare oxygen

p3
After we touch down, we will first attach the spare oxygen to No. 1’s exterior unit
Following that, we will seal the hole in their hull, provided there aren't two or more of them

p4
After that's completed, we will start letting the air in while checking that the ship is airtight
Over

6
p1
But there’s one important point to watch out for
No. 1's body cannot be controlled, so we don't know how it might move

p2
Be very carefully at the moment you touch down!!
When you do, tether yourself to the hull without fail!!

p3
No. 1's fate is in our hands!!
But don't confuse recklessness with heroism!!

p4
Your first priority is your own safety
Don't take any unreasonable actions!!

p5
You got it!?
Yes!!

7
p1

p2
And so, we're off!!

p3

p4
It's a boat!!
Are they coming alongside the shuttle!?
If they hit No. 1, we'll both be done for!!

p5
There are three people on it. Who’s coming!?
We can't know yet!!

8
p1

p2
If we get any closer, we won't be able to react to any sudden movements from No. 1
As planned, we'll leap one by one from here

p3
Minorikawa, you're first

p4/5

p6
Look, it's Minorikawa!!
Why is he coming here!?

9
p1
Alright, Minorikawa made it!!
Subaru, your turn!!

p2
Yes!!

p3
Here I go!!

p4
!!
It's Subaru-kun

p5
Yuuto...
You came too...

p6
Alright
Just a little more

10
p1/2/3

p4
This timing is terrible!!

p5

p6
He'll get sent flying off at this rate!!
Yuuto!!

11
p1
Ku!
Like hell I'll die here!!

p2/3

p4
I can't kill my momentum!!

p5
Uwah!

12
p1/2/3

p4
Th- Thanks
Minorikawa

13
p1
It's troublesome if more people end up needing rescue

p2
D- Did he make it!?
It seems Minorikawa-kun saved him

p3
The instructor is sending over the oxygen tank
Get ready to retrieve it
Roger

p4/5/6

14
p1

p2
Good
The retrieval was successful

p3/4

p5
Instructor Dangouzaka, can you hear me!?
This is Shitara, over a direct line

p6
Shitara!!
What are you planning to do!?

15
p1
Right now we're going to seal the hull breach
And then inject spare oxygen from No. 2

p2
If we do that, your air should last until the rescue squad gets here
Yeah!!
We'll be saved!!

p3
Shitara...
Did he manage to convince the HQ?

p4
Alright, begin!!

p5

16
p1/2/3/4

p5
Good
Next, seal the hull breach

17
p1/2/3

p4
Tch!

p5

p6
It'll be a problem if more people end up needing rescue, right?

p7
Hmph
I'm tethered anyway

p8

18
p1
We're done!!

p2
Yes, good job!!

p3
Dangouzaka, our work here is over!!
We'll now begin injecting oxygen, please check that you're airtight!!

p4

p5
No leaks detected!!

19
p1
Good, now they can last until the rescue squad arrives

p2

p3
No...
//It's still no good, Shitara
What! What do you mean!?

p4
We still can't control the propulsion system

p5
Is there any possibility of restoring the system!?
We've been trying all this time, but...

20
p1
At this rate, the rescue squad won't be able to rendezvous with us
They won't be able to carry out rescue operations

p2/3/4

p5
Umm...
I have an idea

right: One problem after another!! Can Yuuto's smarts save No. 1!?
