Noa and Asuma visit a city arcade on their day off, where they lose to a Patlabor game. Utsumi, who claims his company developed the title, clears all levels, prompting Noa to fail again. A young boy named Bud offers to help, surprising Noa with his superior skills. Utsumi and Bud are actually Schaft employees preparing for their next move. They are leading the Griffin project, an experimental Labor with high battle capabilities designed to develop components for other units. Their plan begins by testing Division 2. Utsumi deploys a Saturn Labor to create chaos at a construction site, aiming to lure Division 2 into action. This sequence sets the stage for the upcoming conflict involving the advanced machinery and the division's response.
