[TRANSLATED] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (Chapter 13, Pt 1)
Original Scans: courtesy of Comic Walker
Just like your readings suggested. A large quantity of sakuradite...
LLOYD
Your Majesty~.
We've got everything we need down here to be all set ♪
LELOUCH
Just as I'd expect.
One can't make a living as a mercenary without
a hoard of sakuradite, which is as good as gold...
LELOUCH
All right.
C.C., bring it to that special cell in the lower block, then come back here.
Lloyd, I'll be relying on you to handle the preparations we discussed.
C.C.
Roger that.
LLOYD
My pleasure~.
(This structure of this 'Great Prison' is made up of three discrete blocks.)
LELOUCH
(There's the upper block, which stores all the facilities for the management and administration of the prison itself.)
(The middle block, which houses the cells to accommodate the majority of prisoners.)
(And the lower block, with its special cells and the Aram Gate, makes three.)
LELOUCH
(The enemy commander that they call Shesthaal Forgner ought to think the members of the infiltration — including C.C. — came here to rescue Zero.)
LELOUCH
(In which case...)
Heh.
I do so appreciate this perfect victory you've handed me!
CODE GEASS
Lelouch of the Re;surrection
Thanks, Miss Sayoko.
SAYOKO
The important thing is that I made it in time.
We'll be covering Professor Lloyd from this point on.
BITOOL
<tch!>
(The topography surrounding this 'Great Prison' is characterized by deep valleys.)
LELOUCH
(There are two potential points of attack for an invasion.)
LELOUCH
(The first would be the aboveground entrance.)
(Any sensible commander would probably attempt to regain control of the facilitiy from the upper block.)
SHESTHAAL
If it's really the Order's leader1 in there, she should be able to survive this.
So...
SHESTHAAL
All units! In the Forgner name,
regain control of each and every floor, quickly!
Yes, Your Majesty!
LELOUCH
So, they more or less have control of the upper block, do they?
It won't be long now, then...
VOICE (SUZAKU)
<beep, beep>
Lelouch.
This is winnable, right?
With your plan...
As long as you do exactly what I say.
SUZAKU
Pretty sure I understand your methods.2
LELOUCH
Heh.
LELOUCH
Well then,
follow my lead.
He's blocked off the entrance?
I expected as much.
P9, fall back just like that.
P2 and B4, reconvene with R.
Entice the enemy to follow you.
SHESTHAAL
All units! Continue to take control of each floor, one by one!
The Madin will remain in position,
providing cover for the AVLB3 from the Abraq base.
LELOUCH
K1, commence operation.
A Ghedo Vakka...?
Pay it no mind.
No doubt a decoy to cover for escaping soldiers.
LELOUCH
Just so.
The enemy ought to be thinking it's only a decoy.
And if so, a straightforward and prideful commander would likely spring into action himself.
How dull.
Is this the measure of him4...?
SHESTHAAL
All right.
Let's corner them now.
LELOUCH
Q Team, you'd better have that task complete in two minutes.
SHESTHAAL
In the end, he was all talk.
LELOUCH
K1, draw him in.
Captain!
That stolen Ghedo Vakka just escaped to a lower floor...
SHESTHAAL
All right! Charge!
There should be others there, too.
After all, what hope does a thief have of victory over those with heroism in their blood!
LELOUCH
K1, stick to the plan.
The 'Great Prison' has one other potential point of attack...
An invasion from the outside, descending from the valleys...
We've come to retrieve you5, Zero.
SHESTHAAL
Hm?
SHESTHAAL
Zero. If you're thinking about escaping,
you must know what will become of our other hostage5...
Captain Shesthaal of the Priestess's Elite Guard...
For you and your tiresome pride
this is...
Checkmate!
No...!
SHESTHAAL
Father!!
1 Swaile called C.C. the "former" leader of the Order, Shesthaal is not making that distinction. ↩
2 This is cute phrasing. つもり here means 'belief', Suzaku's using it to say he believes he comprehends Lelouch's way of doing things — often translated in the show as 'methods', though there, of course, Suzaku mostly talked about how he didn't approve of them: 君のやり方を理解しているつもりだ. ↩
3 Armored vehicle-launched bridge. A combat support vehicle, designed to assist militaries in rapidly deploying tanks and other armored fighting vehicles (like KMFs, in this universe) across rivers, etc. Shesthaal, of course, plans to use it to cross the gap Lelouch created by destroying the bridge. ↩
4 Lit. "This amount/degree/standard?" Shesthaal doubtlessly means something like, "is this the degree to which Zero is capable of strategizing?" ↩
5 Both of these lines are rather polite, sometimes using humble language — almost certainly mocking. ↩
