Episode Description:
The Council of Humanity addresses YoRHa with a speech explaining that Aliens invaded Earth with an army of Machine Lifeforms in the year 5012, forcing what remains of Humanity to retreat to the Moon and build an army of androids in the form of the Resistance on Earth and YoRHa in space with the intention of retaking the planet. Meanwhile on Earth, a Machine designated PLAO8 begins to develop intelligence and instead of attacking the Resistance, decides to learn to grow flowers. 2B and 9S are assigned to head to Earth to investigate why YoRHa's liaison with the Resistance has gone silent. The Resistance sends a team led by the fighter Lily to recover supplies, only for them to be ambushed by an army of Machines. Lily and her surviving team lure the Machines onto a booby-trapped bridge while PLAO8 tries to stop from trampling its flowers. 2B and 9S then arrive and destroy the bridge and the Machines, with PLAO8 being destroyed in the crossfire. Elsewhere, more Machines begin reading old books left behind by Humanity as an ominous cocoon like structure is being built.
