[TRANSLATED] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (Chapter 7, Pt 2)
Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType
He'll be assuming command of your backup on this operation.1
He's also been allying with us from the private sector.
SCHNEE
Schnee Hexenhaus, at your service.
I look forward to working with you.
Wait, you're the Schnee that used to work under Suzaku?!
SCHNEE
Yes, ma'am.
I was part of his elite guard.2
SCHNEE
Actually, you and I have met before.
On... the battlefield.
We were each piloting KMFs at the time...
What?!
When?
SCHNEE
It was after Lady Nunnally's assignment to Japan. We were escorting her...
...across the Pacific Ocean.
Oh, right...
That.
But Master Schnee,
if you're to participate in this operation, doesn't that mean...
SCHNEE
Yes.
I intend to learn Zero's true identity.
LLOYD
Intend, you say...
LLOYD
What an odd way of putting it.
SFX
<typing>
Suzaku had one other subordinate.
His appointment was arranged by Suzaku's supervisor,
Lord Schneizel.
He was supposed to watch Suzaku.
SCHNEE
To uncover whatever his connection with the previous Zero had been.
(The previous...?)
SCHNEE
In the course of his investigation, he would have come to learn the identity of that Zero, as well as Suzaku's relationship to him—
—and, of course...
...that mysterious power known as geass.
SCHNEE
...Except that he protected me, when the FLEIJA warhead went off over TOKYO.
He died.
...
SCHNEE
I blamed Suzaku for firing that missile.
I — despised him.
And I couldn't — accept what he'd done.3
SCHNEE
I could no longer believe in a man that I'd loved and respected.
Which is why I eventually left the armed forces.
KALLEN
And yet, here you are — on this operation. Why?
SCHNEE
...
SCHNEE
He—
Ledo4, that is... left me an intelligence report. He entrusted it to me.
SCHNEE
That report is how I learned about his investigation.
And I thought, if I could learn Zero's true identity, if I could learn about geass...
—Maybe it would help me better understand why Suzaku did what he did...
...and what he was trying to do.
Huh...
SCHNEE
I said something horrible to him.
And yet—
He was the one who pushed me to keep going after I lost a friend.
The one who
encouraged me not to give up on tomorrow.
But I still haven't been able to express any of that to him. Not even one word.
That's why—
KALLEN
Hey, it's okay!
We're gonna rescue Zero and Nunnally for sure.
And then you can thank him as much as you want.
Yes—
And I'll do my utmost to back you up!
<grunt>
<clackity clack>
<fwooooosh>
C.C.
We're going now, Lelouch.
I want to be in the royal capital before dark.

The investigation team will be entering Zilkhstan shortly.
SCHNEIZEL
Yes.
All we can do now is pray for Miss Kouzuki and her team's success.
<rooooar>
LLOYD
Must we really jump?!
SAYOKO
Please brace yourself, Dr. Asplund.
SFX
<fasten, zip, click>
I'm afraid so, Dr. Asplund.
You and Kallen are simply too well-known
to enter the country by the usual means.
