[TRANSLATED] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (Chapter 3)
Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType
Invasion route of the armed group, confirmed.
The reason why we haven't heard anything from the airport for the last fifteen minutes is because their system was hacked.
NARRATION
In the Black Knights' Control Room
KONISHINA
We have a live feed from Squad Three.
Our main focus has been on searching for any identifying data about their KMFs...
KONISHINA
Updating the list of suspected armed group members—

NAME: Shin Bandou

KONISHINA
—and we've got a hit!
<pshh>
ZERO
What's our status?
SFX
<clip, clop>
TOUDOU
Not good.
TOUDOU
Konishina, update Zero on the situation.
KONISHINA
Yes, sir!
An armed group calling itself the Japanese Revolutionary Army struck the Shinigawa Seaside Airport with more than 30 KMFs, seizing control of it from the local branches of the army, navy, and airforce.
They've barricaded themselves in with approximately 4,000 hostages made up of tourists and airport personnel.
TOUDOU
And that was an hour ago?
KONISHINA
Yes, sir.
They seem to have timed their attack to coincide with the UFN Supreme Council's meeting.
ZERO
Have we identified any of the perpetrators?
TOUDOU
Maj. Bandou... I mean, Bandou Shin.
A survivor of the former Japan Liberation Front.
ZERO
?!
(Bandou-san...)
Bandou-san—
Why would he do this...?
After all the progress we've all made towards peace...
TOUDOU
Konishina was first assigned to Bandou's unit as a new recruit nine years ago, when Britannia invaded.
ZERO
...
TOUDOU
Zero once rejected Kusakabe Josui and his JLF—
Now, under Bandou's leadership, the JRA has raised their banner of revolution against him.
Zero, in this situation...
ZERO
I'm well-aware.
I'd like you to contact the UFN's Supreme Council.
Tell them this is a matter for those of us in the Black Knights.

A black...
SUZAKU
...Lancelot Albion.
It was part of the Joint Strike Cavalry Program1 first advanced under Emperor Lelouch's rule.
We needed to R&D some more Britannia-made KMFs, so... our Pearl Party2 came up with this.
KAGARI SAVITRI
We made a few improvements on the original design documents Dr. Asplund left behind.
In terms of performance, it now equals the Guren SEITEN Eight Elements.
ZERO
(Schneizel had them build this anyway, didn't he?3)
(This level of polish... is just what you'd expect, from something planned in advance.)
(He must have anticipated a situation like this one and enlisted Rakshata's help...)
(Who else would have turned a Frame whose very name
meant 'white'4... black?)
ZERO
Understood.
Then, please allow me to use it.

Bandou-san?!

Okay,

1 Very similar to the Joint Strike Fighter Program, a real-world program, but instead of 戦闘機 (fighter, as in a fighter plane), Neha says 装甲騎 (armor + the 'horse' half of 騎士, 'knight'). ↩
2 If you're not familiar with pearl parties, think of basically any other direct-marketing 'party', like Herbalife or Mary Kay. These groups tend to be made up entirely of women, which where the name comes from: the engineering team behind Lancelot Albion Zero was entirely female. ↩
3 Suzaku is referring here to Schneizel's earlier attempt to convince him of the necessity of a machine exactly like this one. More literally, this whole sequence would be: "Did Schneizel [already] take preventative measures? It's polished, just as if it had been prepared [in advance]. I think, probably, Schneizel anticipated a situation like this one, and commissioned Rakshata." ↩
4 'Albion', although also a poetic term for historical Britain, is derived from Latin — among other things — and albus means 'white'. ↩
Invasion route of the armed group, confirmed.
The reason why we haven't heard anything from the airport for the last fifteen minutes is because their system was hacked.
