mission [F]ailed

mission [F]ailed is the fourteenth episode of the NieR:Automata Ver1.1a anime series.

Summary[]

With the revelation that the Aliens along with Adam and Eve are dead, leaving the machines leaderless, YoRHa commences a full scale assault on the machines to reclaim Earth, with the Commander being authorized to use the full force of YoRHa's arsenal as well as loan advanced weaponry to the Resistance. Meanwhile, a rebuilt 9S with altered memories leads his fellow Scanner androids in mass hacking the machines while YorHa and Resistance forces battle the machines. The battle initially goes well with YoRHa quickly seizing the upper hand. However, as the girls in the red dresses observe the Bunker, all of the YoRHa androids suddenly suffer a mass hacking attack that causes them to begin killing each other. Seeing that the operation has failed, the Resistance decides to withdraw back to their base while 9S tries to investigate the the cause of the mass hacking and why he was apparently unaffected. He discovers that the YoRHa androids were infected due to a backdoor secretly installed in every android's data synchronization port, with 9S only being spared because he neglected to synch his data with the Bunker. Upon learning this, he then realizes that 2B is in danger.

Alternate Ending: 2B and 9S discover a coliseum where machines are battling and defeat them. However, their victory attracts the attention of the "president" and "former president", who easily defeat YorHa to the point of extinction.
