In the year 2133...

...the world was plunged

into an era of devastation and chaos.

More than half the Earth's population

was killed off by non-nuclear global war.

It was only a matter of time

before the planet itself...

...would become utterly uninhabitable

and all life there would cease to exist.

Human beings searched

for their last seed of hope.

And when they could not find one,

they created one:

Olympus.

In this new utopia...

...those injured in the war

were reconditioned as human cyborgs.

International disputes

would be buffered...

...by a breed of genetically engineered

humans called bioroids...

...designed never to feel such emotions

as anger and hatred.

To further ensure peace,

Olympus also created E-S.W.A.T...

...an elite force

with worldwide jurisdiction.

Yet with all gardens...

...this Eden was still susceptible to serpents

who seek its destruction.

All right, gang, listen up.

We got a heavily armed group

holed up in an abandoned church...

...with top-ranking EU officials

as hostages.

Don't know who they are

or what they want.

Local police haven't taken them down,

so you know the drill.

You could be looking at combat cyborgs.

We move in at 2245 sharp.

to 2230 on my mark. Three...

...two...

...one...

...mark.

A high-tech cyborg

wearing an analog watch. Well, look at that.

Has its own heartbeat, just like I do.

Yeah, well, the sound of it

will get your ass shot.

Tell him, Deunan. He's your partner.

Well, I'll be.

You two are made for each other.

Approaching

landing zone. Drop point confirmed.

Drop point clear. All units, deploy.

Go. Go.

I'm outside the corridor and I'm going in.

Launch assault in 30 seconds.

All units, stand by.

Flash grenade inside the cathedral.

Damn you, Deunan.

All right, prepare to move in.

On my count.

Three, two, one.

Cover me. Fire!

Secure the hostage.

You all right?

Watch the hostage.

- Got it.

They're all cyborgs.

What the hell's going on?

Let's ask them.

I think they're in the mood to talk now.

Who are you? What do you want?

Do you hear me? Answer me.

All will be one. We will all be one.

I am Halcon.

He's gonna blow. Move it.

Deunan, are you all right?

Briareos?

Briareos! Don't--

Deunan, stop.

- Let go.

Let go of me, goddamn it!

Briareos. Briareos!

Attention, all units.

We have a disturbance reported

in Sector B-47...

...involving a construction Landmate.

Request E-S.W.A.T. dispatch.

Team 2, proceed to WASP hangar

in Delta Formation at once.

Repeat, disturbance in Sector B-47.

Request E-S.W.A.T. dispatch.

Team 2, report to the WASP hangar

in Delta Formation at once.

Captain.

Deunan?

- I heard the call.

I'm already near B-47 right now.

Aren't you supposed to be off-duty today?

Yeah.

Things change.

We're on our way.

Don't do anything stupid, Deunan.

You hear me?

Run. Run.

- What's happening?

- He got fired.

Next thing you know,

he grabbed a Landmate.

He's going to turn the place--

Oh, God.

Get up.

- Where's the kill switch?

On his back.

Unit 1 ready.

Don't treat me like a fool!

Goddamn you!

Goddamn you!

I swear to God I'll kill you!

You're late.

Got it. I saw it.

Come here, you little sh*t!

Damn it!

Get off of me! Damn it!

Get off! Sh*t! Get off!

You little b*tch! Get off!

I can't move. Aah!

What are you doing?

Let me out of here.

You b*tch!

Looks like we missed the party.

I told you to play it cool.

Didn't I?

Don't yell at me, he started it.

Who's the new guy?

Oh, yeah, right.

I have to introduce you.

Some other time, Lance.

Today is my day off.

Deunan Knute, meet Tereus.

Your new partner.

What the hell are you thinking, Nike?

Watch your mouth, Deunan.

Oh, I'm sorry, but did you forget

that my partner is in the hospital?

- I can't believe that you'd do this to me.

Well, believe it.

Tereus is the only one whose

fighting potential compares to Briareos.

That's not what I'm talking about

and you know it.

Why does your new partner

look remarkably similar to Briareos...

...before he became a cyborg?

Isn't that what you want to know?

Yeah.

Come with me, Deunan.

At first glance, you might not notice

anything different here.

This facility is, for the most part,

just like its predecessor.

We continue to create bioroids

from the very same DNA as you humans...

...genetically deleting negative emotions.

As you know, bioroids are,

more often than not, diplomats, emissaries...

...and, like your friend Hitomi,

ministers of political affairs.

But is this application limited?

We believe it is.

So we decided to produce bioroids

with high combat capabilities...

...to further uphold public order.

Tereus is serving as our prototype.

He fights to preserve law and order.

And unlike humans, anger and hatred

will never influence his decision to fight.

The majority of his genetic code

was taken from Briareos.

And you expected me

to be fine with that.

After analyzing combat data

from all soldiers in E-S.W.A.T...

...we found him to be by far

the most qualified of all candidates.

And then there is

his Hecatonchire-class body.

Briareos is the only person in existence

who has ever adapted to it.

His physical and mental strength

are truly remarkable.

You were his former partner.

That's why we need you to assess

Tereus' capabilities. Am I quite clear?

Crystal. But I won't do it.

Well, it's not really your decision.
