Patlabor: The New Files
The Day Goma Came in from the Rain
Episode Synopsis
While riding back to the hanger in the rain, Noa spots a cardboard box near the gate. Inside is a small kitten that was abandoned by someone. She sneaks it inside and asks Hiromi to help care for it. He says it's very weak and might die, but Noa is determined to help it survive. Being called out to Labor incidents doesn't really help, so she asks Asuma to talk Shige into helping while their called out to crime scenes. The kitten survives and is doing very well. Unfortunately, it looks like Captain Goto might know, and it's getting harder and harder to keep it under wraps. During cleaning of the hanger, the kitten escapes and nobody can find it. Division 2 are called out to a crime and Noa discovers the kitten sitting in the cockpit of Alphonse. Unfortunately, it wants to play and causes Noa to lose control of her Ingram.
