NieR:Automata Ver1.1a

Synopsis ▶▶ Pod 042 - Report: 5012 AD. Lifeforms from outer space, otherwise known as <Aliens>, suddenly begin their invasion of Earth. Mankind escapes to the moon, and the ground battle between the <Androids> and the <Machine Lifeforms> has continued for a long time. 11945 AD. The <243rd Descent Operation> has commenced. <YoHRa> Soldiers <2B> and <9S> now engage in the plan to recapture Earth. While on a mission near the City Ruins, they receive a request from the Resistance to find a missing android. Both 2B and 9S consider that the missing android may be related to their current investigation ordered by Command. Proposal: Begin the search for relevant android.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report: YoHRa Soldiers 2B and 9S both succeed in destroying machine lifeform core units <Adam> and <Eve>. Machine lifeforms are currently confirmed to be in temporary confusion and chaos. Seeing this as an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, the <Army of Humanity> issues an order for all YoRHa units to commence an all-out attack on the machine lifeforms. This unit, in collaboration with 9S, the designated partner of this tactical support unit, will begin its mission to oversee the Type S models in a coordinated mission.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report: The YoRHa soldiers and the Resistance unite to launch a large-scale operation on Earth to exterminate the machine lifeforms. However, a larger-than-expected number of machine lifeform units has been confirmed. Each area has requested assistance. This unit, in collaboration with 2B, the designated partner of this tactical support unit, will provide backup and support to the androids on the ground. ――Warning: EMP attack and logic virus attack from the enemy confirmed ―― ――Communication error――

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report: The machine lifeforms not only infected the YoRHa soldier units on the ground, they also infected the <Bunker> with a viral attack, activating a self-destruct sequence. With this, the 13th Orbital Satellite Base <Bunker> was destroyed. 2B and 9S avoided infection from the virus and escaped the Bunker before it was destroyed. Proposal: Find the remaining surviving YoRHa Soldiers and start another descent-to-ground operation on Earth to fulfill the mission.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report: A damaged sector of the memory area found in subject of this unit's support. Commence restoration of remaining data. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ December 8th, 11941. It was decided that a combat mission would be carried out by <YoRHa> Soldiers which is comprised of newer models. As we descend down into Earth, machine lifeforms suddenly attacked us, but we were saved by older models of android. ■■■■ ■■■■■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ……I will never forget this.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report: ―― Confirmed that the YoRHa unit <2B>, the subject this unit is supporting, has ceased to function. ―― Going forward, support function will be transferred to YoRHa unit <A2>. Confirmed A2 has suffered damage to her unit due to the impact of the cave-in caused by the appearance of a massive structure. Prompt maintenance is recommended, however, A2 indicates a rejection of the idea. Proposal: This unit will ensure safety of A2 and will continue to request maintenance be carried out.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report: 9S, subject of this unit's support, was injured when he was caught in the upheaval caused by the appearance of the giant structure identified as the <Tower>. Currently, he still needs maintenance and rest, but unit 9S refuses. He has left the Resistance Camp and is approaching the Tower. It has been discovered that access to the Tower <Main Unit> requires a structure known as the <Sub-unit> to be unlocked. This unit, in collaboration with 9S, will begin searching the Sub-unit for the passcode.

▶▶ Pod 042 - Report: While accompanying unit A2 in visiting the <Machine Lifeform Village> at the request of Lily to procure materials, a large number of hostile machine lifeforms is observed advancing toward the area. Unable to detect command units from this enemy group. Reason for enemy advance is currently unknown. Until <Pascal> returns to the front lines after completing strengthening modifications, this unit will commence a defensive operation in cooperation with A2 and the machine lifeforms in this village.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report: As a result of the battle, the <Machine Lifeform Village> was destroyed. The machine lifeforms confirmed alive have evacuated to the <Resistance Camp>. However, a new reaction from a Goliath-class machine lifeform is detected advancing toward the area. ―― SOS Message Received from Resistance Camp ―― It appears that a serious virus contamination has occurred within the Resistance Camp. A2 and Pascal are working together to understand the situation and respond accordingly.

▶▶ Pod 153 - Report: Unit 9S has successfully obtained the three passcodes necessary to access the main unit of the <Tower>. The following data was confirmed during attempted access to the Tower. Record added to items requiring further analysis. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm not ■■■. I'm ■■■■■. You're still ■■■■■. ■■, ■■ is ■ inside ■■。 And ―― _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
