Lorelei Page #3

---

As deep as she'll go.

We're past safe limits...

Depth charges in the water!

How's the Lorelei?

We can't go deeper.

Gentle feed tanks 1 to 4.

Engage auto-level.

Silent cruise mode.

The bastards are still on us.

and closing.

Straight to us.

Signal strength 3...

Directly above.

Depth charges!

Brace yourselves,

here they come!

Ahead, slow.

Bearing 030.

Enemy receding to port.

Stay calm, move out slowly.

Propeller noise continuing to fade.

Everyone okay?

What chance of repairing

the Lorelei system?

Tell us how it all works.

What are you hiding?

The core of the Lorelei system...

is a human being.

A human?

Take a look.

She's had countless injections...

Is she Japanese?

She came from Germany

with the ship

That rumor of Nazi human modification

was for real?

It sounds incredible but...

they harnessed some latent ability.

Like bats and dolphins able

to navigate with internal sonar...

She senses emotional disruption?

Maybe we have a hidden ability

which emerges under certain conditions.

It's speculation but...

maybe she senses other psyches

through the water

then the Lorelei system amplifies it.

Every time we hit the enemy

she passes out

and the system shuts down.

A fragile core to a powerful weapon.

Keep it secret.

She's not to be seen.

Permission to speak, Sir.

What?

Allow me to ram the enemy.

Mind your manners.

For my family's sake

let me strike the Americans.

No suicide missions from my ship.

She almost died right in front of me!

It's a human weapon,

just like a manned torpedo!

Private.

Time to punish your insubordination.

Shall I make him watch the girl?

Good idea.

I'm here to fight.

How could I face my late brother?

Do your job as best you can.

That's how we respect the fallen.

Captain!

Do you know why he has no stopwatch?

He relies on that wristwatch?

It's a memento from his late wife.

That's the kind of man he is.

Trust him.

Who lives here?

A man trying to avoid war

at all costs.

August 8th 10:
00-

Outskirts of Tokyo

A man trying to avoid war

at all costs.

Nishimiya, Ambassador to the US?

He's still talking peace to them.

Why are we here?

He's always been close to Asakura.

Sorry, but husband

flies to Manila soon...

Manila? To make peace...?

You helped Capt. Asakura

study in the US.

Cultivating the young

builds a strong nation.

Asakura loved his country.

Full of hope... an upright and pure man.

I introduced him to many

outstanding young people in the US.

I thought him fit to lead

our country one day.

Pardon the interruption.

This arrived for you.

It's from Mr. Asakura...

Asakura?

For my nation's sake

I resolve to commit hara-kiri.

Everything's ready.
