Scene 0: Deep Space
Caption: A.D. 2045
Humans built colossal spaceships and were able to travel through space continuously.
(Illustration)
Scene 1: The Bridge, 1
Commander: Captain.
Captain: Yeah.
Commander: The return to Earth is five days.
Captain: That is right.
(Illustration)
Narration: Now, this "battleship" has a crew of hundreds, all of who are managed by the computer.
Every crew member has their own room and their vital statistics are continually checked.
This is done to prevent any contagion in this isolated environment.
The system for this was called the "Transmission System" or "Transformation System", or simply "TS".
Scene 2: Mika Rikudou's Room, 1
(Illustration)
Mika Rikudou: . . . The return to Earth is a few days.
Hayato Takahashi: Yes.
Narration: They are looking forward to the rerurn to the Earth.
Mika Rikudou: When we return, we shall have our wedding.
Hayato Takahashi: Yeah.
Scene 3: Database Room, 1
(Illustration)
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Are there any problems?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: No, nothing.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Okay, now we are going to run mainteinance as usual.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Yes, Sir.
Narration: This spaceship has "Transmission System" or "TS" in "every private-room" and "every pathway".
It is almost impossible to keep doing laundry aboard ship indefinitely.
So clothing and outfits are not washed, but are disintegrated and re-integrated every day.
Of course, new outfits are designed by "TS" with the crew members' recorded data.
(Illustration)
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Well, this journey also has no problems.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Do you want to have "problems"?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: No, not at all. . . But if we met aliens or something like that, we would never be bored, would not we?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . . I prefer to be bored.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4:Yes, you are right. . . sorry. Anyway, the group is coming soon.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Have you forgotten? The scouts will bring their report on the planet directly to the bridge.
Scene 4: Mika Rikudou's Room, 2
Mika Rikudou: Well, I cannot wait any longer. Shall we simulate it?
Hayato Takahashi: Simulate what?
Mika Rikudou: The wedding.
Hayato Takahashi: . . . What do you mean? You are kidding. . .
Mika Rikudou: Why are you so hesitant?
Hayato Takahashi: Well, we are mature. Just a pretend wedding?
Mika Rikudou: No, we use this.
Mika taps the "Transmission System" of clothings.
Hayato Takahashi: ?
(Illustration)
Scene 5: Database Room, 2
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: . . . ? What is that. . . ?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What is up?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Somebody is trying to hack into the system.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Really? Who are them?
Sayaka Hamilton: I just checked the data. The hack must be done but it cannot be from outside the ship. This amount of data indicates that someone in the ship is trying to hack in.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Block it! Now!
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Ah, yes, sir.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . . Damn it. . . What are they trying to do?
Scene 6: Mika Rikudou's Room, 3
Hayato Takahashi: Oh. . . Stop it. If we have any problems, we will be punished by a court-martial.
Mika Rikudou: Court-martial? You are too worried. This is trivial.
Hayato Takahashi: But. . . you are trying to hack into the master data, at least this once. It is very risky.
Mika Rikudou: I will soon restore the data and we will be all right. Okay! Then, wait for a while.
Scene 7: Database Room, 3
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Now, the core system is controlled by the hacker!
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: My God. . . have you ever considered attacks from inside the system?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Yes. . . we have. . . but there are many experts who can hack the computer. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Anyway, regain control as soon as possible! What does the cracker intend to do? Erase the database? Or to replace it?
Chang Ishidzuka: I am searching!
Asada began to sweat a clammy sweat.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: There is no way. . . Tell the bridge about the problem!
Sayaka Hamilton: Yes, sir! I will do it as soon as possible!
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: We might be attacked from outside of the ship. . .
Mark Schneider: Chief. . .
Mark is a special, even for the database room.
He is only 14 years old, but he has mastered almost all knowledge from the Earth.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What?
Mark Schneider: What problem will happen because of this attack?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5FI do not know. . . but if the database was erased. . . the attack might be fatal for the entire crew.
Scene 8: Mika Rikudou's Room, 4
Mika Rikudou: What do you think? Am I beautiful?
(Illustration)
Hayato Takahashi: Yes, you are. . .
Mika Rikudou: Well, you do not really enjoy it very much, do you?
Hayato Takahashi: I cannot simply enjoy it. . . please change all the clothing back to the originals.
Mika Rikudou: What are you saying? You have to do it too.
Hayato Takahashi: What?
Mika Rikudou: I had also put in a groom's data.
Hayato Takahashi: Oh, no, no thanks! Please restore the data soon!
Mika Rikudou: If you change your clothing, then I will do it.
Hayato Takahashi: Are you going to take some pictures?
Mika Rikudou: Pictures will get us arrested.
Hayato Takahashi: Hacking the master data is also criminal!
Mika Rikudou: I had been an A-class clacker before I entered the national force. That is all right.
Hayato shakes his head with a sigh.
Mika Rikudou: Do fast or we really will be arrested. Hey! Go, go!
(Illustration)
Hayato is forced to enter the machine. . . or "TS".
Scene 9: Database Room, 4
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: I found what the hacker did. Some data was replaced.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What data? Oxygen? Food?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: . . . Well. . . the data is of. . . all the clothing.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What? Clothing?
Mark Schneider: What had happened?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Well, it becomes. . . like this. . .
The image data is displayed. It is so eccentric that everyone lose a word.
(Illustration)
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What is that?
Sayaka Hamilton: It is. . . as you see it.
Sayaka, the only female crew member in the database room, confirms the fact. Although she has a Japanese name, Sayaka is truly an Anglo-Saxon.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Restore it as soon as possible!
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Stop the system before restoring! Or we will have a "victim"!
Chang Ishidzuka: . . . I cannot! The stop code was rejected!
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Then alert to the whole ship! Hurry up!
(Illustration)
The database room turns out to be a battlefield.
Scene 10: The Bridge, 2
Commander: Captain. . . There is a call from the database room.
Captain: Connect it.
Commander: Yes, sir.
Captain: Are there any invaders?
Commander: Well. . .
The captain gives a wry grin.
Then, someone scream at the slidewalk to the bridge.
Scene 11: Database Room, 5
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Check the whole ship!
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: We cannot! The codes are rejected. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: My God. . .
Sayaka Hamilton: I found that "TS" was running when the hacker was attacking.
Everyone in the database room, who know what her words mean, were frozen.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: This means. . . the first "victim"?
Sayaka Hamilton: . . . Yes.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: I would like to confirm the situation. Is the victim male or. . . female?
Sayaka Hamilton: . . . This is a bad news.
Mark Schneider: This means. . .
Sayaka Hamilton: Yes, he is a male.
Asada pulls a long face.
Scene 12: Mika Rikudou's Room, 5
Hayato Takahashi: O, Oh! What is happening!? Tell me what you did!?
(Illustration)
Mika Rikudou: Wow! How cute! . . . But what happened?
Hayato Takahashi: I would like to ask you!
(Illustration)
Hayato Takahashi: Tell me what you did! Why am I dressed as a bride? I do not like crossdressing!
Mika Rikudou: Well, excuse me?
Mika handles her long skirt excellently and runs to the terminal.
She types on the keyboard with her satin gloves.
Mika Rikudou: . . . Hmm. . . I made a mistake. This means.
(Illustration)
Scene 13: In "TS" Mounted on the Slidewalk to the Bridge
Jeff Gibson, Scout: This mission was very easy, was not it?
Denzel Ishii, Scout: Yeah. The environment is like that of the Earth and we could take most of the samples on the ground.
Jeff Gibson, Scout: Hm! I did not use my survival skills at all. I like easy missions but I do not like to be bored.
Anthony Guinness, Scout: Anyway, things were all right since we had no problems.
Denzel Ishii, Scout: By the way, is this the last mission for you, Mr. Guinness?
Anthony Guinness, Scout: Yes. I am happy to finish all of my missions.
Jeff Gibson, Scout: Watch out or we will have trouble on the way to the Earth. . . I am just kidding! Ha ha!
Gibson laughs laudly.
They comes to "TS" mounted on the slidewalk.
(Illustration)
Jeff Gibson, Scout: . . . Huh? I feel something strange.
Denzel Ishii, Scout: My chest is. . . restrained?
Anthony Guinness, Scout: What is that. . .
(Illustration)
Jeff Gibson, Scout: W, what is thaaaat!!!!
Denzel Ishii, Scout: A, are they. . . wedding dresses!?
Anthony Guinness, Scout: . . . !?!?!?!
Jeff Gibson, Scout: What was happening!!
Denzel Ishii, Scout: "TS" had some bugs! I think so.
Jeff Gibson, Scout: What bug! Too kidding! Run the "TS" again!
Denzel Ishii, Scout: No! We cannot control "TS" from the inside.
Jeff Gibson, Scout: Oh, no! Now we are sliding out to the bridge!
Scene 14: The Bridge, 3
Then, someone scream at the slidewalk to the bridge.
The scouts clad in wedding dresses slide out.
Captain: You did a very good job. . . !?
Commander: What is. . . that!?
(Illustration)
Crews in the bridge are absent-minded and can only see the scouts who slid out on the bridge.
Captain: What. . . are you kidding?
Jeff Gibson, Scout: N, no! Not at all!
Scene 15: Database Room, 6
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Okay. . . I see.
The chief is disappointed.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Is it too late?
The chief nods without any words.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Now we are trying to recover. Yes, but we have not regained the control. . . Yes. Please tell the problem to the whole ship, captain.
The chief turns off the transmitter.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Damn it. . .
Mark Schneider: Are there any victims on the bridge?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Captain said thet the scouts just came back from the planet were forced into mass-marriage.
Sayaka Hamilton cannot help bursting into laugh.
Chang Ishidzuka: . . . Cannot we try not to use "TS" as possible. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: How long will it take to recover? . . . Are you certain about that?
Chang Ishidzuka: Let me see. . .
Mark Schneider: All crew must change their clothings every six hours. I think it has been past for at least a few hours sinse we last changed our clothings. Right?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: . . . That is right.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: How many victims are there now?
Sayaka Hamilton: Just over one hundred.
The database room becomes a bit noisier.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: I am surprised that the dresses fit everybody.
Mark Schneider: "TS" resizes all outfits.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: But "TS" will alert when men try to wear women's clothes.
Mark Schneider: Basically, thet is true. This was the most frequent problem with the first model. So every "TS" but the first model have sex tags in every outfit's data. "TS" will alert when the tags and the users' sex based on their genome are different.
Sayaka Hamilton: But the regulation were loosened not long after that.
Chang Ishidzuka: Because there are many kinds of people.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: We would have to make a resolve.
The database room becomes quiet.
Sayaka Hamilton raises her hand.
Sayaka Hamilton: Well. . . then, I will do.
(Illustration)
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . . Are you okay?
Sayaka Hamilton: Ah, well. . . I think I will be less shocked than you would be. This will be the second time I have worn one.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: So be it.
Scene 16: Database Room, 7
Sayaka Hamilton: Here I am.
(Illustration)
Mark Schneider: Wow, you are beautiful, Saya. . .
Sayaka Hamilton: Thank you.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Chief, now there are 200 victims.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Are there any accidents?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Accidents. . . what accidents?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Well. . . people injured by "TS" or something.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: "TS" will not create outfits inside human bodies. There are no chance to have an accident.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: But. . . cannot the dress compress the wearer?
Mark Schneider: "TS" generates loose outfits first, and then tightens them.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Even for men?
Mark Schneider: Of course.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Then I will go next. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . . Are you okay?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: It has been past for five hours sinse I changed my uniform. The leaders should be willing to undergo this trouble, or the morale of other crew members will be lowered. And. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . . And what?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: I am the tallest in the database room. It will be a good experiment to test the resizing ability of "TS".
Ken Koyama says so and goes away.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Hm. . . Then keep on doing your tasks.
Sayaka Hamilton and Mark Schneider: Yes, sir.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Ah, Mrs. Hamilton.
Sayaka Hamilton: Yes?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: I would like to ask you a question.
While sitting on a chair, Sayaka Hamilton arrenges her dress.
Sayaka Hamilton: Yes?
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: It is complicated. . . but is necessary.
Sayaka Hamilton: What is it?
(Illustration)
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Well. . . is the inside of the dress. . .
Sayaka Hamilton: The inside. . .
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Well. . . are the undergarments also for female?
Sayaka Hamilton does not say anything for a while, probably because she did not understand what he meant, but then she smiles and replies.
Sayaka Hamilton: Yes, that is right.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Just as I imagined. . . Well, it is only natural. . .
Sayaka Hamilton: Chief, I think they will be very good on you.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: But worse than you.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Here I am.
There is a tall bride clad in a pure white wedding dress.
However, he is wearing glasses.
(Illustration)
Sayaka Hamilton is trying not to burst into laughter.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Why. . . are you wearing glasses. . . ?
When "TS" integrates outfits like this one, glasses are transformed into contact lenses or simply ignored.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: I took them off before changing my clothes, then put them on again.
Mark Schneider: Wow, you are beautiful, subchief.
Mark innocently picks up the skirt behind Ken.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: "TS" seems to resize properly for tall people, as I imagined.
Ken is always speaking or seems to be irritated.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Then I will do my job again.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Hm. . . I think the dress limits your mobility, but do your best.
Mark Schneider: Then, it is my turn.
Just after saying this, he went to the "TS".
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Hm, it is not a game. . .
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Chief.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What is up?
(Illustration)
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Look at this. It is terrible.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What is happening?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: The data were completely replaced. It is very hard to rocover the uniform.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: The return to Earth will be a few days yet. . . Cannot you change the dresses into ordinary clothes?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: For the task "changing the dresses into something else", it will not be just as difficult. Of course, we will do our best to regain the backup uniforms.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Do your best.
Mark Schneider: Here I aaam!
(Illustration)
Mark Schneider: Hmm, the inside is like this. . . my legs are not free so much.
Sayaka Hamilton: Nooo! Do not do this! You are a bad boy!
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: . . .
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: . . . Anyway, we found "TS" resizes for everyone's body.
Asada squares his shoulders in disappointment.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: The dress is never "for children", this implys that "TS" resizes for any people. The dress fits me, tallest in the databese room.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: This is a good news. But are there any possibility to recover the system within six hours?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: In fact, almost impossible. . . . Please make up your mind.
Scene 17: Mika Rikudou's Room, 6
Hayato Takahashi: Huh. . . What are you going to do for the mess?
Mika Rikudou: Buuut! I am already apologizing to you!
Hayato Takahashi: This does not just affect me. . . but everyone in the ship. . . ? I think everyone in the ship is doing carnevale di Viareggio.
(Illustration)
Mika Rikudou: Let me see. . . I do not think anyone has found my hacking. . .
Scene 18: Pathway at the Ship
Clue A: Ah, excuse me.
Clue B: It is okay.
The wide skirts prevent the crew members from passing each other easily.
Clue C: Oh! Your foot is on my dress!
(Illustration)
Scene 19: The Bridge, 4
Captain: . . .
(Illustration)
Commander: C, captain. . . this dress is very good for you.
Captain: You too.
(Illustration)
Scene 20: Database Room, 8
(Illustration)
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Chief.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: What?
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: We had almost finished the task.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: I see.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: Well, then.
(Illustration)
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: There is a savoir-faire book for brides in the library. How to treat the skirt, et cetera.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Okay, then tell it to the entire crew.
Asada types on a keyboard, while he is pushing aside his veil and ringing his earrings.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Indeed. . .
He begins to speak with his rouged lips.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: All we have managed to do is tell the crew members how to treat the wedding dress to the clue members.
Ken Koyama, Chief Warrant Officer 4: . . . That is right.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: When the ship returns to the Earth, we will get embarassed.
Everyone in the database room, all of who are dressed as a bride, are surprised by that fact.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: Then.
Asada says proudly.
Ryusuke Asada, Chief Warrant Officer 5: The first welcoming party shall be embarassed like us.
Caption: For a few days, the battleship has been filled with brides clad in wedding dresses.
It was not known till now, however, why the trouble happened.
