Division 2
are on hand to provide security for the Babylon
Project Conference, an obvious target for terrorists.
Gotoh sees two men running down a hall way after
hearing a scream from the cleaning lady who has just
found the men sleeping in the toilet. Gotoh tries to
stop them but they enter a lift and head to the to top
of the building. Unfortunately the two bumbling
terrorists set off the bomb they are carrying, and
partly blow up the restaurant on a platform on the top
of the building, making it very unstable. Both
Division 2 Labors are sent up to arrest the
terrorists. But they have taken the barman as hostage.
Worse yet, one of them threatens Division 2 with a
stick of dynamite, only to have explode. The
restaurant is now extremely unstable and could fall at
any minute. They have an extra problem. If the
restaurant falls off the building, it will hit a jet
fuel pipe directly below which leads to the airport
and could cause a massive explosion. Noa and Ota not
only have to stop the restaurant from toppling, they
have to save the barman and terrorists inside.
Captain
Gotoh and Police Chief Fukushima are investigating
robberies of Automatic Teller Machines. It's obvious
that Labors have been used in these crimes. Strange
graffiti is left in chalk at the scene of each crime.
Gotoh believes it is somehow connected to the crimes.
He also discovers that the same Home of the Sea
terrorists they have dealt with before could be behind
these robberies. The SV2 must stop the criminals
before they strike again.
Under
Chief Fukushima's orders, Division 2 is forced to
appear on a TV program. Momoko Sakurayama's TV show
"The Working Girl" focuses on women in the workplace,
and Noa will be the next subject. Fukushima believes
it will be great PR for Division 2. Everything seems
to be going well until Division 2 are called out to
stop a man from committing suicide. He threatens to
crash his Labor into fuel depot. Unfortunately Momoko
decides to stand between Division 2 and the criminal
to do her report, and he takes her hostage with his
Labor. It's up to Noa to save her, otherwise it will
be more bad press for Division 2.
Shige has
been sent to train with the New York Police Labor
Division. Once he gets in New York, he accidentally
insults a cab driver, who tries to shoot him a machine
gun. Kanuka saves him by shooting the cab with a
bazooka. Things get weirder when he gets to the labor
hanger. The New York Labor team headquarters is
actually an underground base under Hudson Bay. The
team are called Crime Labor Attack Team, or CLAT (like
something out of Ultraman) for short. And the team
members certainly do look very familiar to a certain
police Labor team in Japan...
The SV2
are invited to see a public military demonstration by
Captain Fuwa's air-drop Labor team. They are even
given a guided tour of the Labors hangers by one of
her subordinates. Noa takes an interest in the
Helldiver, a top of the line military Labor. Fuwa
notices, and offers Noa the chance to take it out for
a run. The military is looking for pilots, and Fuwa
sees potential in Noa. She gives her the manuals for
the Helldiver, and asks to meet again with her. Noa is
quite interested, but does she really want to leave
her friends and colleagues at the SV2? A mistake on a
mission has her seriously considering the job offer.
Division 1
are finally getting a new Labor; the Shinohara
AV-Zero. After a mock fight with Ota in his Ingram,
and Gomika in the new Zero, everyone is impressed with
the new Labor. With it's neural network, it can
automatically dodge debris on the ground. There is
much discussion about how much the new machine has
outclassed the Ingrams. Later Division 2 are sent out
to stop a rampaging Labor. It walks through an open
plan shopping mall, but Noa manages to stop it in a
car park without causing major damage. However a VIP's
car was apparently scratched in the incident, and he
has complained to the Police Chief. The members of
Division 2 discuss what happened and are little
concerned as this could mean reorganisation for the
SV2. Noa is very upset at what has been said and locks
herself in Alphonse's cockpit.
The media
shower praise on Division 1. The Zero Labor is a
complete success and a hit with the public. Division
2's confidence is severely shaken. Noa goes home to
her parents in Hokkaido to escape her problems. Asuma
who is very worried about her, goes to cheer her up
and persuade her to come back to Tokyo. Asuma and Noa
arrive back, only to be immediately mobilised. A
terrorist is hiding in a fuel depot. With both
Division 1 and 2 at the scene, will the Zero find the
terrorist Labor first, or will an Ingram? Noa is
absolutely determined to prove her worth as a
policewoman.
