Space: the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Catia.
Its five-year mission: To explore strange, new worlds.
To seek out new life and new civilizations.
To boldly go where no sexy alien cat woman from a planet
full of sexy alien cat women has gone before.
After arriving on Earth, the Catian leadership proceeded
to an exchange center to formally establish
diplomatic relations with the government of Japan.
But, the cultural barriers between the two groups
were considerable.
The negotiations with Japan proved to be tricky,
as their differing wills became extremely apparent.
I understand.
Basically, your nation is considering
whether or not they want to enter into negotiations
with the government of Catia.
And while your leaders
are making their final determination,
we're more than welcome to remain on your planet
as unofficial guests.
Is that about right, gentlemen?
Well, uh, you see, yes...
Very well then.
By the way, in regards to our accommodations while here.
We won't require assistance as we're currently staying
at the residence of a private citizen.
Oh, well, while this is unofficial,
it is nonetheless considered state-funded.
On behalf of the people of Japan,
we would like to cover your expenses while you're here.
No, that really won't be necessary.
But, as an annual outlay and a gesture of kindness,
we'd ask you pay us this much.
What? Two you say?
Yes, two.
We are not willing to negotiate.
But we can't just--
I would like to remind you gentlemen
that our advance surveyor came very close
to being killed while in your country.
But, what's done is done,
there's no sense crying over spilled milk.
Our people will not be seeking a formal apology.
I do beg your pardon but, um...
May we have some time?
Of course, we know you must be very busy.
We'll return at a later time to hear your final answer.
Till then, have a wonderful day.
Oh! I've never felt so embarrassed before in my life!
Eris!
Are you sure this was proper for us to wear?
I would say they were extremely effective.
You bowled right over them and left them laying there
like cats in heat, Captain Kune.
What's the harm?
I like this outfit actually, it makes me feel frisky.
But Doctor Durel!
It looks "purrfectly" fine on all of you.
But it rubs my fur the wrong way.
Oh, Executive Officer Melwin,
what you lack in size you make up for in charm.
That's right!
There's more to breasts than just size.
The small ones can be fun, too.
Besides, who even needs big breasts
when you've got a really nice tail,
am I right, Melwin?
Regardless of the relative merit of breasts,
our plan to establish diplomatic relations
between Catia and Earth has begun!
Now let's all keep this momentum going!
Yeah!
Did they really say two?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
Catians can drive a hard bargain.
I guess it's about time.
I'm ready to move when you are.
Leave the escape route to me.
Our cell phones can be traced.
More details to come.
Bye now.
No choice but to leave them behind.
Sorry for the burden.
But until we hear back from them,
we'll need to stay here for awhile.
Would that be alright?
Yeah, sure.
That's cool with me.
Kio, that's great!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
It's fine.
But how come you're all wearing swimsuits?
Eris said putting these on would help us negotiate
with the male earthlings.
It's true. And apparently, on Earth,
school swimsuits are everybody's favorite thing
to wear to a business meeting.
Is that right?
And where did you read that, huh?
Oh, I read it in one of those magazines
you hide under your bed, Kio.
Hey, give that back!
Whoa, Kio you naughty boy, you!
It looks like we picked the right attire, ladies,
the human men in these magazines look very satisfied!
It's not like that.
Listen to me: these magazines are fiction!
Don't tell me you're at this again?
Manami, where'd you come from?
I take my eyes off you for one minute,
and you convince these alien chicks to dress up like this?
You pervert.
You've got it all wrong! It's not like that!
Hello.
Pardon me, but is Kakazu here?
They're like coconuts!
All right, that's enough!
Everyone change!
Kio's right.
Since the negotiations are done,
we should all change back to our usual uniforms.
Don't look!
Must be nice.
You senior officers have it easy.
Hey. So, what's up with all the luggage, Manami?
What's going on?
Everything okay?
Oh, yeah. Listen, about that.
The truth is
we've come to say goodbye, Kakazu.
Manami Kinjyou.
Currently under consideration to become a CIA field agent.
Aoi Futaba.
aka 'Charmed Momiji'.
Special Interrogator for the Japanese Immigration Bureau.
Maki Itokazu.
Member of the Japan branch
of the Beautiful Contact secret society,
a group that fantasizes
about the first contact with alien life.
As a result of the havoc created by these three women,
each of whom are connected to Kio Kakazu,
a young boy the Catian has had contact with,
the subject ended up escaping.
Most of the organizations those three represent
have been assisted by us in the past.
Ingrates.
Indeed.
It appears the dog is biting the hand that feeds it.
Was that some sort of joke or attempt at sarcasm?
Because I don't find it funny.
Oh, no, I...
Please continue.
The incident was written off as being an accident.
And the subject still remains holed up
in the exact same place as before.
You do realize the severity of the situation.
As a result of this fiasco, the covert dealings
between Dogishua and your country
have been made known to the cats.
Yes, ma'am.
The cats intend to use Japan as a starting point
to begin formal diplomatic relations with Earth.
And if they succeed.
The exclusive benefits your country has come to enjoy
will no longer be possible.
We won't let it come to that.
Earth belongs to the dogs, we marked our territory
by coming to you first.
If they think they can prance in like they own the place,
they've got another think coming!
If they try to test us, we'll show those pesky furballs
there's more than one way to skin a cat!
See, that was a joke.
Oh... Of course.
Wait, you're leaving?
But why?
Look, Kio, in our line of work.
Once you've turned your back on the organization,
you're as good as dead.
Plus. I bet they're watching us right now.
So, that's it?
It's okay, don't you worry.
I promise, we won't go down without a fight.
Just trust us, Kio.
We've been trained to maintain a low profile.
We know how to protect ourselves and stay alive.
But you can't just--
Hey! We know you'll miss us.
But you'll be fine.
Just keep on being yourself.
Kakazu.
Be careful.
But, you guys, you can't just leave!
Hey, can't you do something?
Unfortunately, we can't.
We still haven't formally established a treaty
with this world.
Currently, there isn't anything we can do to intervene,
right, Captain?
Nothing?
Actually, that's not entirely true.
Technically speaking, for the moment at least,
the Kakazu residence is serving
as the provisional Catian Embassy.
I get it.
You're right, Captain Kune!
Wait, whaddaya mean?
You're onto something.
This place isn't Earth or Japan.
It's under extraterritorial jurisdiction.
And governed exclusively by Catian law.
And if someone tried to harm anyone inside these walls.
It would be the equivalent of an unprovoked attack
on a foreign nation.
It would be a huge incident, which might even lead to war.
Our laws can protect you.
Not even people from your organizations
will be able to lay a hand on you.
Hold on a sec.
So you mean--
You two girls can move in with us
and be our brand new roommates!
Huh?
We've got business to attend to on the mothership.
You hold down the fort here.
Sound good?
Yes!
No fooling around, got it?
Oh, except for a little hanky-panky with Kio,
we're totally okay with that--
If you discover any new data about this world.
Send it on at once.
Roger that!
Wow, there they go.
So, let me make sure I understand
what's happening here;
the four of us are living together?
Don't worry, it'll be fine!
Relax guys; the Assistroids will do all the housework for you!
Housework is the least of my concerns.
Oh!
Cat Planet Cuties!
Yeah. My pajamas and some clothes.
Also my cell phone charger.
Yep. Bye, bye.
So What did your Aunt say, Manami?
She told me to stay out of trouble.
It's so close; I could go get them myself!
Please, just let me take care of this one.
We don't have a choice; if you go outside
we can't claim extraterritorial rights.
But my house, it's just.
right across the street.
Until negotiations are settled, the four of us
are gonna sit down and have some fun.
There's no reason to stress, we're in a safe zone.
I guess you're right.
Things could've been much worse.
I could get used to this.
Oh, come on.
Aren't you overdoing it?
We've been neighbors forever, Kio.
This has always been my second home,
and I see no reason to change that now.
What about you?
Oh... Uh...
What were you saying, Kakazu?
You might not be able to leave here for a really long time;
you should call your parents.
Well, the truth is,
I don't really have any family, or relatives.
Oh. Uh...
Plus the identity I had here was false to begin with
due to my job.
I didn't know. I'm sorry.
Oh... No, it's...
Don't apologize Kakazu, it's not your fault.
I really do appreciate your concern, though.
Let's see.
You and you have dinner so you go to the kitchen.
Yours is clothing so go to the bedroom.
You two I won't need for awhile, so I'll store you...
Why bring over stuff you're not even going to use?
Hey.
Don't you find it inconvenient that they don't have names?
Well, we could assign them numbers for now
if that would help?
There. From now on you'll be Number Six!
Oh no, we've got two seventeens.
Things have really gotten out of hand here lately.
You'll do that? Thank you!
Maybe this was a bad idea.
The stuff with Manami and Aoi.
I feel awful, it's not like they can go back to their jobs now.
They had goals they were pursuing
and careers they were developing and now that's all gone away.
I owe them.
They really saved my skin back there, you know?
If anything, I should be the one sticking my neck out
for them this time.
But what can I do for them?
No way.
I'm nothing special.
Thanks a lot.
Hey, Kio.
Could you use some help with your back?
Huh? Eris?
No thanks!
Please, I insist.
A woman is supposed to wash a man's every nook and cranny!
I read it in your magazines!
No.
Please stop.
Haven't you ever heard the phrase
"you can't believe everything you read?"
What's all the racket in here?
No! Let me explain! please Manami!
Once again your perverted nature
has gotten the better of you, Kio!
I just can't leave you alone, can I?
This is the last straw!
It's time I scrubbed that filthy mind of yours!
Wait! Manami!
Help me!
What's with all the yelling?
Please. Don't be mad.
Hey there!
It's not my fault.
Wanna help me scrub Kio's hard-to-reach spots?
Eris, please. Stop it!
Why you...
Sick peeerveeerrrt!
These girls will be the death of me.
Geez!
The nerve of that guy, I swear!
You know, I just don't get it.
I don't understand what you see in him.
You are into him, aren't you, Aoi?
Umm. Well, I... I don't know.
I was sort of under the impression
that you liked Kakazu like that.
Please, you must be joking!
Yeah but, the two of you are so close.
I've been stuck with that moron forever.
I did come close to liking him once, though.
Well, what came of it?
Did he turn you down?
No, of course not!
Truth is, Kio was really shy back then.
He didn't exactly know how to talk to girls.
Not even me, and we've known each other our whole lives.
Eventually though, things changed.
He got comfortable around me and started to treat me
like I was one of the guys.
Once I realized he thought of me that way,
I really didn't care anymore.
We're just friends.
And I wouldn't want it any other way.
Right.
You, on the other hand, might actually have a shot with him.
Trust me, I've known Kio my whole life,
and I know when he likes somebody,
and he's totally into you.
Twenty one hundred hours.
Looks like the cute objects are changing the guard.
Number seventeen is relieving number...
Wait, how can that be?
What's going on?
Yeah, but.
He can't like me; I'm not an ordinary girl.
Huh?
Here, watch this.
Apport.
Whoa. Hold on a second.
How did you--?
It's my special power.
I've always had it.
For as long as I can remember,
I've had the ability to teleport objects
within a fifty-meter radius.
But because of my power,
no one wanted anything to do with me.
Not even my family.
Eventually, I found my place as an agent of the underworld.
I've stained my hands with blood many times
for the mission's sake.
That's terrible.
The fact is...
I come from a world that Kakazu will never understand.
What's with the alarm, huh?
Guys! Intruders!
Apport!
Cover me!
Hey! Hold on!
Let's go!
Since they have two of the same kind,
they won't miss this one!
Apport!
Oops. Sorry about that.
You idiot!
What if something had happened to the kitty?
Don't move!
State your affiliation and rank!
Are you CIA?
Or did the Immigration Bureau send you here?
I'm insulted you would lump us in the same category
as those low-lifes.
But let's just say we're servants of a nobler master
and a much higher cause.
They threw a stun grenade!
Oh, no!
They got away!
Don't worry, we're coming!
We're almost there!
Hey, guys, are you all right?
Ahhh! How dare you, pervert!
You're gonna hit me!
I'll kill you!
It's good to have you back.
I knew you were a sicko!
Stop looking!
He's such an idiot!
I swear, he drives me nuts!
It's not his fault; we were the ones who were naked, you know?
It's not a question of whether he's at fault or not.
He shouldn't have come running when we were undressed.
Well, we were in the middle of a gun fight.
The only reason he came running
is 'cause he was really worried about us.
You really do like him, don't you?
No, I... I don't.
Oh, please.
Here's a friendly piece of advice.
Kio's kind of wishy-washy,
so if you don't stand up for yourself,
that alien cat chick is gonna steal him away.
Hey. Look.
I've got your back no matter what, 'kay?
No way I'm gonna let that alien get the best of you.
Yeah but... How do I...?
You can't let your past prevent you from going
after your future.
Just have a little more faith in yourself.
You're right. Thanks, Manami.
Anytime.
Now let's get some sleep, alright, roomie?
Okay.
And so, the new roommates slept together under one roof.
For the moment at least, they were peaceful and content.
There's something important I'd like to discuss.
How would you three like to become official employees
of the provisional Catian Embassy?
We'd work here?
What would we do?
Well, for starters, we could definitely use the help
of people who know their way around this planet.
Plus, because of your special abilities,
I was thinking you two would make really good--
I don't know what to call it, 'safety-keepers' maybe?
Safety-keepers?
Security.
But we can't.
Hello Manami.
Jack! It's you!
Why are you calling me?
I have something you might wanna hear.
Manami, there's an organization
targeting your alley cat friend.
Tell her to watch out.
You be careful too, okay?
Hold on, Jack!
Listen, I know I interfered with your work.
My responsibility was to apprehend the target
and that's it.
Anything that happened after that wasn't on me.
Look girl, you just took the wind out of the sails
of one of my least favorite people in the entire world.
Don't worry, we're fine, okay?
If I hear anything else, I'll be in touch.
Manami?
Yeah Aoi? Whats up?
I know this might seem hard to believe but,
what if they weren't coming after us?
Kio, who is this Jack person?
Oh, that's the guy Manami's going out with.
Jack is not a guy!
She is a woman, moron!
Oh! You like girls.
It's Janice Allectus Carotinas Kalinart.
Or 'Jack' for short.
She's my boss at the CIA, you idiot.
Or she was, I guess.
Oh, I see.
I was confused 'cause of her name.
Plus, every time you get a phone call from her,
you're always whispering.
I thought you two were secret boyfriend and girlfriend.
Idiot.
That's funny.
Here I was thinking you were in a serious relationship
this whole time.
Well, I'm so sorry to disappoint you.
Can I ask you something?
What's that?
Uh. Oh, it's nothing.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Just leave me alone.
I'm sorry, ma'am, please forgive me.
I was unable to bring you your gift.
I swear, I will get it next time.
And the Divine Embodiment, too.
Spending the day in Tokyo is always a great time.
Well, unless you run
into a bunch of cat worshipping nutjobs
that randomly attack you and kidnap your friends, that is!
Next time...
"We've Come to Kidnap You!"
I'm coming to drop in on you!
