Title: Lesson 610
A Machine That's Learned to be Useless is Called a Piece of Junk (Or a Human)
Guys: What's going oooooon?!!
Insert: A strange phenomenon...?!
SFX: BIIIII BIIIII
Guys: C-Captaain!!
The main system is being attacked by an unknown source!!
!!
There are abnormalities happening all over the ship...!!
Nothing can operate properly!!
Call for reinforcements!!
Our communications have been blocked!!
This can't be!!
Not just the Takemikazuchi, even the other ships?!
SFX: GOGOGOGO
Th... This is...
It can't be...

Page 4:
Guys: That huge cannon
isn't a weapon for shooting the Liberation Army,
it's a virus...!!
It's not to attack us, it's a device for spreading a virus to seal our attacks!!

Page 5:
Tama: ---By a machine meant to stop war, you mean...
Gengai: Yes.
The key isn't this huge gun.
It's this tiny guy.
The tiny machines in here so small they can't be seen by the naked eye
hold the fate of the world in their grasp.
These're what they call nanomachines.
I call them 'Bees'.

Page 6:
Gen: Once the Bees are released by this big gun,
they'll stay in the atmosphere.
And instead of flowers, they land on machines.
They will then pollinate their target with the computer virus they're equipped with and take control of the target machine's systems.
They'll then turn into stingers that destroy the circuitry of the machines,
halting their function.
In other words
they're machines that kill machines.

Page 7:
Gengai: The Liberation Army's battleships and tanks are all precise weapons that rely on machines.
And this will turn them all into junk.
We'll go back to the era when we go into the battlefield carrying bamboo spears running around open fields.
But there's no point to just temporarily stopping the Liberation Army.
If we're going to do this, we'll need to spread out enough Bees to act as a barrier to cover this country so the rest of the Liberation Army can't approach us.
But doing that would essentially
be the same as destroying every machine in this country.
In order for mankind to survive,
You machines have to be sacrificed.
And on top of that, the Bees must be continuously released for no less than 20 minutes.
The only way to get such a huge amount of energy would be to pull it in from all over the country, but I don't even know how long that will last.
Another thing we can't forget is that big cannon is a machine, too.
I've put special protective walls on it, but they won't last long.
The Bees will probably penetrate those walls in around 10 minutes, and then the big cannon will go crazy, too.

Page 8:
Gengai: In other words, as soon as the cannon starts breaking down, in place of its systems
I'm gonna need some machines to work the cannon's systems.
Someone: !
Kin: And the only machines with high enough specs
SFX: TAN TAN
Kin: that can also endure the Bees' assault
SFX: ZAH
Kin: are us, right?
Gen: Kinnoji.
Kin: Sounds perfect.
I don't care if it's training or what,
but I'm sick of turning screws around in this dark basement.
Gold really only shines
when it's out under the sun.
Gen: .......Do you understand?
This crazy role will be you ending yourself.
Kin: But if we don't, the world will end, right?
If we end either way, it's just the choice of which way is better.
And also, it's not the Liberation Army I'm fighting,
it's that man, Sakata Gintoki.
This means I can finally pay him back for what happened back then.

Page 9:
Kin: If that guy's trying to save the world, then I'm gonna save it before him.
That
That'll be Sakata Kintoki's revenge.
So what do you think? Quite a golden idea, isn't it?
Tama: ..........
The color gold is quite close to the color of poop, isn't it?
Kin: Hey, hey. You've always been pretty scathing for a machine, haven't you?
Tama: But
you are a machine made by Gengai-sama as well, aren't you?
Gengai-sama,
if you are wavering out of concern for us, please do not worry.
We know that we were made by
the best inventor in Edo.
We machines know
love was poured into making us.
We know
how you felt
as you turned those screws.

Page 10:
Tama: That machines exist
to serve a purpose to people.
SFX: GO GO GO GO
SFX: DOGAA

Page 11:
SFX: DODOON
Shin: The battleships are falling one after another!
Gin: Gramps!
What the hell is going on?!!
Why're all the machines breaking down?!!
SFX: JIJI...
Gin: Graaamps!!
Tama...
SFX: ZAZA...
SFX: GOGOGO
SFX: GIGI
SFX: FUH
SFX: GASHAAN GASHAN
SFX: DOSHAA DOSHAA
Gen: Why're you bein' so quiet?
Why don't you spit out some words of hatred?

Page 12:
Gen: I know these pieces of junk can't even talk too well at the best of times,
but why now of all times
do they have to put on those machine-line admirable faces
and quietly break down?
Machines are meant to serve a purpose to people.
That's certainly true.
But if you two had said you didn't want to,
I don't think I would have minded.
Even if you don't serve a purpose,
even if you're pieces of junk,

Page 13:
Gen: if I'm with you, my friends,
I'm ready to drop dead with you.
...Yet I...
I'm sorry.
I''m so sorry.
Kin: ---I can hardly believe that a man that dedicated his life to machines
would throw away it all in order to stop a war.
SFX: GIGI
Kin: He made us choose a path more painful than dying.
Still, we can't start getting defiant now.
We're machines built by Hiraga Gengai, after all.

Page 14:
Kin: Have you finished saying your goodbyes,
Tama-san?
Tama: No.
There is no need for something like that.
Because if we cut down the Liberation Army's power,
then I'm sure everyone will save the world.
No matter what gets destroyed or what gets taken, I'm sure they will get it all back.
I am sure we will be able to see them again someday.

Page 15:
Tama: So I
won't say goodbye to anyone.
Kin: .........
I see.
Maybe those guys
really can do it.
Tama: Yes, I'm sure they can.
After all, they're people that polished that faded gold color
until it was enough to save half the world.
And anyhow, ours are lives that were once picked up by then.
SFX: ZUZAZA
Tama: So let's leave them in our hands.
SFX: GOGOOU

Page 16:
Kin: These lives!!
SFX: DON
Tama: And this world!!
SFX: ZUGYAGYAGYA
Both: Humaaaans!!
SFX: DOGAA
Both: The rest is up to yooooou!!
SFX: KAH

PAge 17:
Tama: There's no need
for goodbyes.
If there's
anything to say...
As I previously,
would fulfill my duties as a machine without hesitation.
SFX: YURA (Shake)
Tama: As I was just a single
elaborate screw.

Page 18
Tama: But now I've been filled
with all this useless data.
I've become
SFX: POTA POTA
Tama: such an oil-smeared screw.
So to everyone, I would say...
Thank you for being my friends!

Page 19:
Guys: TAMAAAAAAAAA
Narr: ----That day
the machines, of their own will, quit being machines.
And... they became something that was not meant to serve any purpose,
friends.
Insert: Along with the data that would never disappear----
