Penetrate Blue: Vapor Trail Another Age 2824

Synopsis

Continues the story of Vapor Trail

In 2079, the first orbital elevator was constructed in the Pacific Ocean to celebrate the peace restored after the Third World War. During its dedication ceremony, however, a massive red humanoid entity descends from space. Its power is overwhelming, and humanity's resistance proves futile. The orbital elevator is seized, and from that point onward, humanity is locked in conflict with the red hostile flying objects known as "Vacant" that emerge from it. Summer 2099. Twenty years have passed since the war began. Human civilization develops the seventh-generation humanoid fighter "Seventh" and manages to push the Vacant back to the area around the orbital elevator. At the Yashima military base floating in the Pacific Ocean, Miku—a woman from the special technology research department—pilots the black forward-swept wing Seventh F/SX-02 Tenra into the blue sky. Inside the craft's computer, the personality data of a girl named Liza, from whom she was once separated, is stored. All so they can be together. A yuri mecha film centered on two girls connected by a bond far stronger than friendship.

In this installment

Set in the Vapor Trail universe, this 2022 independently produced sci-fi mecha short from studio AsH depicts a future where humanity, after being defeated in a war against the machine-borne 'Machine Intelligence' it had refused to coexist with, was forced to live underground in shelters. In the discarded zone, Tenshu Mikoto, an engineer girl who pilots the security Organoid Cradle-F/V-10 Hornet-C, barely makes a living by salvaging and repairing machines alongside her partner Noriko, both of whom are outcast 'Outers'.
