During their brief conversation, it was mentioned that YoRHa has not responded to the Resistance for a long time. Then YoRHa’s leader reveals that they are not responding on purpose because they cannot comply with every request they make due to a lack of resources.
Later, 2B and 9S are taken to a dangerous part of the area for inspection by Jackass. But as they reach the entrance, they are instantly attacked by a humongous machine. Both the androids fight vigorously to defeat the dangerous opponent. 9S finally takes down the enemy with his sword with the help of 2B and the pods.
