"Got 'em!" "All right, we got 'em!" "Damn!" "Tonight, reporting a scandalous rendezvous!" "Who the devil...?" "!" "Hibiki Kanzaki, scooper for SNN Network!" "Mind if I get an interview with you two?" "You are U.N. Spacy supreme commander Exxegran and ace pilot Silvie Gena, aren't you?" "Goddamn muckraker!" "And as for the very lovely..." "Uh oh!" "And so we're left to wonder what exactly U.N. Spacy ace pilot Silvie Gena and supreme commander Exxegran were doing in this hotel!" "Lt. Silvie Gena is seventeen years old and in the last Sol System Valkyrie competition left the competing male pilots in the dust." "In a recent SNN poll asking who they'd like to marry viewers rated Ms. Gena as number one among celebrities..." "Oh, man, I can't believe Silvie would do this!" "Another stupid scandal, huh?" "Capt. Nexx!" "I feel so sorry for him." "This'll probably break him and the chief up for good." "Oh, Saori, you'd just love that to happen, wouldn't you?" "Hey, it could be my big chance." "Don't you dare even think about that!" "Sixty..." "Seventy..." "We actually pulled a seventy-five share!" "Morning!" "Oh, Hibiki." "Is that the scar from your latest victory?" "I'd say you landed the prize for this month's hit story." "Yeah, well..." "We'll have to wait and see about that." "Bullshit." "You don't know anything about being a journalist." "I don't?" "!" "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" "!" "It isn't just about grabbing the highest ratings." "You still haven't figured that out." " What was that?" "!" " Never mind him." "Who is he?" "Dennis Lone." "Cameraman over in hard news." "Great on the battlefield, useless in peacetime." "I'd give anything to be a war correspondent!" "Hibiki!" "Morning, sir!" "Can I see you two in my office?" "Written apologies and explanations?" "You broke a story without checking the facts." "Not good." "The military filed a claim, huh?" "What the hell is there to check?" "!" "A man and a woman don't go to a hotel to plot military strategy!" "Protecting an individual's privacy is a reporter's duty." "You'll do anything for ratings." "You can't go on acting like they're all that matter!" "People live to be entertained!" "You told me that yourself!" "You'll live to eat those words." "Why do you think we hired you?" "Well..." "You got lucky with your first scoop." "That's all." "The highest rated scoop you've ever had!" "I suppose you may be a star at the moment but if you continue with these tabloid antics your journalistic career will be a short one." "What's the difference as long as the ratings are high?" "!" "If you want to be a pro newsman then you'd better change your act!" "Quit bullshitting me and just admit the military's making you whitewash this whole thing!" "If you wish to continue working here then you WILL write the apology and explanation to them." "The military aren't better than anyone!" "What makes them immune to a scandal?" " I hate getting jerked around!" " My sentiments exactly." "I want to talk." "You're a disgrace!" "It pisses me off how you just go for scandal!" "News is the truth!" "And I think your military censorship is a hell of a lot more disgraceful than what I did!" "Don't play dumb!" "The military always throws its weight around!" "That's not..." "Macross Warning!" "All visitors who are closer to the ship than Culture Park are advised to return to the park immediately!" "All visitors who are closer to the ship than Culture Park are advised to return to the park immediately!" "Should bring batteries with me in case stuff like this happens!" "Holy..." "It's even stronger than the last one!" " Is it gonna go wild again?" " Scramble orders?" "What's going on?" "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "!" "You're not the only enemy I have to deal with!" "We'll have to settle this later!" "Defold detected in the vicinity of Jupiter." "An unidentified fleet at coordinates N-P608." "Establish a front line at Mars orbit." "And scramble cruiser fleets 17 and 18 from the #2 battle group." "Recon drone 1 reports they've assumed an offensive deployment." "Begin scan." "They appear to be a cruiser-based strike force." "Composition:" "Twenty-two cruisers, two carriers four landing craft, and two support craft." "Just thirty ships?" "Nothing we can't handle." "Probably just a stray Zentraedi fleet." "They're Zentraedi, all right." "Mars orbital coordinates MA-224." "Stand by for Operation Minmay." "Data link active with cruiser fleets 17 and 18 at Mars orbit." "Strike teams 2, 3, and 4 hold at coordinates MA-200." "Ten years since the last battle..." "I can go!" "Please sir, send me out to cover this!" "No, it's too much for you." "Please!" "I'll get you the most sensational footage you can have!" "I'll get you footage that'll have 'em glued to their TV's!" "That'll have them weeping with joy in their living rooms!" "I remember how moved I was ten years ago." "I was just seven!" "The footage of the Minmay Attack throwing the enemy into chaos and letting the U.N. Spacy defeat them totally!" "God, those images are still burned into my eyes!" "I want to move people now like I was moved back then!" "Gotcha." "Hibiki, you have a Valkyrie license, don't you?" "I do!" "I do!" "Of course!" "Then go!" "Yes, sir!" "But it'll be as a Valkyrie pilot, not a reporter." "Uh, okay." "SNN Valkyrie, stand by to launch." "Hi there, I'm..." "You?" "!" "Yeah, it's me." "Give me a smooth ride, kid." "It WOULD be this guy!" "Hey, driver, get going!" "You're bombed!" "Drinking in the middle of the day!" "You think we're going sight-seeing?" "You got me." "Sorry about this." "We're going to cover a battle." "If you don't like it, get out!" "I know what we're headed for..." "Is that an excuse?" "!" "All right, just take off!" "Never mind this assignment, you're still drinking on the job!" "Get off my back and fly!" "Report from the front!" "Defense system standing by!" "This will destroy their will to fight, then we'll finish them!" "Initiate first strike!" "Activate!" "Hey, Chief, looks like they won't need us after all." "Yeah..." "The Minmay Defense isn't working..." "Come on!" "GO!" "I know the U.N. Spacy has always been able to beat the Zentraedi." "But the Minmay Attack won't work forever!" "We've grown soft with victory and have forgotten what we're fighting for!" "The song attack won't work forever, eh?" "They possess music as well..." "We're at the limit!" "This looks bad." "Why do the Zentraedi have singing, too?" "They don't look like they're your run of the mill Zentraedi." "This could be tricky." " What do we do?" "!" " Keep your head on!" "Take us closer to the battle zone!" "Faster!" "You idiot!" "Quit flying like a scared rabbit!" "Gimme a break!" "Okay, just like that." "Take us to our next target." "The next one?" "!" "This is gonna turn into a capital ship slugging match." "We'll see the flagship Heracles, pride of the fleet, in battle." "A fleet battle?" "But that's...!" "Stop whining!" "We came to cover a war!" "This isn't a game!" "If you're scared of dying, then get the hell out!" "Like I could?" "!" "I can do this!" "STOP IT!" "Don't tape our guys getting destroyed!" "You think our viewers want to see a scene like this?" "!" "They want to watch TV and enjoy seeing our forces winning!" "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "Shut up and fly, kid!" "What the hell do you think war is?" "!" "It's not some variety show!" "War is misery!" "We're not writing some series to get big ratings!" "We record the truth, as it is, as it happens!" "Open your eyes and take a good look." "The U.N. Forces aren't invulnerable." "Space is vast, and it's utter presumption to think that the universe revolves around the Earth." "You think we've achieved the heights of culture?" "Like hell!" "What does any of us know about culture?" "Don't be so arrogant!" "The Heracles!" "I am now truly pissed off." "Stay outta my way or else!" "All right!" "Way to go!" "So, Chief, what WERE you and Exxegran doing in that hotel?" "This is a hell of a time to be asking me that!" "But it's bothering us!" "You wanna concentrate on something?" "Concentrate on those bandits!" "Yes, ma'am!" "Silvie!" "Capt. Nexx!" "I have a bit of interest in finding out, too." "None of your business." "You and the commander weren't fighting in there." "Now come clean." "What happened in the hotel?" "Never gossip in battle." "Certain fools may overhear and slap you with a court martial." ""Certain fools...?"" "OH!" "I get you!" "It's nothing to laugh about!" "It's just so like you to do this, Silvie." "Wake up!" "Bandit on your six!" "That got the blood pumping!" "I could fight 24 hours straight!" "Okay, driver, there's our next shot!" "I'm getting footage of the enemy ship." "Take us inside!" "You scared?" "You kidding?" "After this I think I could fly anywhere." "That's the spirit." "Showing the enemy's side and yours, unbiased." "THAT'S journalism!" "I think I've met a damn fine driver today." "Great shot!" "Are you nuts?" "!" "We coulda been killed!" "Good point." "The body may fear death but after a while you don't feel it anymore." " Let's get out of here!" " Dennis, look!" "A microne?" "I think we've found a scoop." "Is she alive?" "I think so." "She's beautiful, isn't she?" "Let's bring her back." "What are you doing?" "!" "Are you serious?" "!" "Jesus, what's he thinking?" "This is only a two-seater." "She's a girl, I'm a guy, and it's a tight fit." "What's the problem?" "Dennis!" "Hibiki..." "Dennis!" "Get our footage back to the network..." "It's not our footage." "It's YOUR footage!" "No, I couldn't have gotten it without your flying." "That footage is yours as much as mine." "Think of the ratings!" "You earned them..." "DENNIS!" " How about those costumes today?" " A little tight, huh?" "So, Dennis..." "He didn't have any living relatives." "But the higher-ups here at the network said they'd give him a proper funeral." "Really..." "But it looks like this battle carries its own problems with it." "The military's ordered a news blackout until their press conference tomorrow morning." "Well, everyone will know the truth when we broadcast." "Dennis and I managed to get the real truth out there." "Hey, Hibiki." "I know you got yourself a scoop out there!" "Fill me in!" "It's nothing." "Military secret?" "Or is it...?" "I hear you brought somebody back with you in that Valkyrie." "Hey, if I landed that kind of scoop, you'd be the first I'd tell." "Well, maybe it's just them trying to make you the fall guy for Dennis' accident." "Hell, I'm happy to see you in one piece." "Hang in there!" "Hello, Shot 5." "Yeah, he's here." "Mash, it's Hibiki on the phone for you." "Here it is." "I've been waiting for this." "Hello?" "Sorry I took so long getting back to you." "So, how's our sleeping beauty?" "In your room, like I said she'd be." "Took care of her wounds and sedated her for her own good." "Thanks." "You're a man among men and have my undying gratitude." "Hold on here!" "This is gonna cost you, dear boy." "I read you." "I'll pay into my usual account, okay?" "It's just so rare to find a purebred Meltran..." "How rude!" "This scoop'll change everything in this city!" "A bill?" "Doesn't he trust me?" "Where did this girl come from?" "And why is only she a microne?" "Hibiki Kanzaki will follow this mystery as deep as it goes." "Good morning?" "Oh, well..." "You understand!" "Now you'll be able to understand me." "Sorry if I scared you." "Drink this." "It'll calm you down." "Whoa!" "Your name!" "What's your name?" "Ish... tar..." "Hey!" "I see..." "So there are Zentran and Meltran micrones on this world." "Uh-huh, lots of them." "Our culture allowed them to join together." "That's me, isn't it?" "Yeah." "This allows you to capture time as it passes." "To always remember good things..." "And bad things as well." "And with this, I'm aiming for the top!" "Are there no images of you?" "Me?" "I hardly matter at all." "Now then, could you tell me a little about yourself?" "It's doing it this early?" "That light!" "Nothing to be scared of." "Just an energy flux from the ship." "It's the ship that carried culture to you giants eighty years ago." "Uh-oh, it's time!" "The light of the Ship of the Alus?" "Someone is coming to this world." "I want to see for myself, before I return to space." "You want discs?" "BM's best!" "Here it comes, Dennis..." "It's time for SNN Wide at eleven." "Topping our news is yesterday's space battle." "The battle was the subject of the press conference  just held by U.N. Spacy spokesman Alexeive." "According to the press release, the enemy remains unknown." "But it seems that once again Earth's culture was effective  in fending off the attack..." "What's he talking about?" "We got our ass kicked!" "Let's turn now to SNN's own exclusive footage of the battle." "Here is the complete footage of the unstoppable assault  performed by Capt. Nexx's and Lt. Gena's Valkyrie squadrons." "What the hell...?" "!" "It's just the good parts of the battle!" "We're in commercial break!" "Looks like we can downlink some additional footage from RCC." " Okay, pull it down." " Yeah, hello?" "What?" "Okay." "Telephone, Mr. Matsui." "Who'd call in the middle of a show?" "Hibiki, sir..." "That goddamned..." "Yeah, hello?" "What do you want?" "What the hell was that broadcast all about?" "!" "Producer's orders." "The Media Bureau's apparently  asking we be careful with this story." "Are you kidding?" "!" "That VTR was Dennis's legacy!" "The military grabbed the master." "All we had left was the battle footage." "Cut the crap!" "The network's just a mouthpiece for them!" "You'll see!" "I'll break this story!" "There's still one card to play!" "Where'd she go?" "Millions of our brethren still wander the cosmos." "Still forced to battle their useless wars." "But when they finally make contact with Earth's culture  they will see how meaningless warfare is." "Long live culture!" "Hey, baby, if you're bored why not listen to our gig?" "This'll cure you right!" "Why...?" "!" "Hey!" "Hey, get a grip!" "What's her problem?" "The Ship of the Alus!" "Where is it?" ""To smile is wrong." "It gives your enemy an opening to you."" ""They will deceive you..." But why is that?" "!" "As you can see, the pod which made it down to Earth is the same as the ones the giants use." "I thought their fleet was still out at the Mars line." "They've found an opening in our defense line?" "But they only sent a recon unit?" "There are just too many unknowns in this battle!" "What we do know is that the song stratagem isn't effective." "And that leaves us dangerously vulnerable." "That's all." "This is a rare sight." "You working so hard to be so nice to a girl." "Is it love?" "Gimme a break!" "You know she's just a photo subject for me!" "So why not just sell your footage of her?" "It's a sure-fire scoop, right?" "Wrong time." "The military's got the media under its thumb." "Once the war's over, I'll make it a super scoop!" "Liar." "You're just afraid she'll end up hating you." "Me?" "!" "Are you nuts?" "!" "Boss?" "The shampoo's done!" "I hear you!" "Wait a sec!" "You can't fool me, Hibiki." "I have an inside line on the hearts of women AND men." "Oh, do whatever you want!" "You've such lovely hair!" "We don't get this color here on Earth." "But tell me, why did you run away from Hibiki's place?" "He's actually very pure hearted." "And he was worried about you." "Did he treat you bad?" " I was looking for the big ship..." " Oh, THAT ship!" "The one that sent the love song to the giants." ""Song...?"" "Are you in love?" "Give it a rest, Mash!" " Better fix that." " Cut it out!" "Hibiki?" "The treasures of Earth culture." "The Roman Coliseum." "The Leaning Tower of Pisa." "The Great Wall of China." "See them all at Culture Plaza, Earth's greatest theme park!" "Here I am!" "This is the best place to learn about Earth's culture." "C'mon, there's a place where you can see the Macross, too." "It's him, right?" "I wonder if he's up to something?" "He's talking to her like she just landed on this planet." " Excuse me..." " It's a good waste of a day off." "They say that if a liar puts his hand in this stone face it'll bite it off." "Wanna try it, Ishtar?" "Just kidding!" "See?" "I'm all right." "Looks totally harmless." "I think we rolled snake eyes." "I was hoping he was up to something and I'd be able to get him back for before." "Guess I shouldn't have gotten so excited." "What the hell?" "!" "Look!" "It's them!" "Look out!" "What're you...?" "!" "Never mind, just get the hell out of here!" "Good timing." "I've got a bone to pick with the military!" "Hold it!" "Do you realize what's going on here?" "I'll get this idiot out of here." "You contact headquarters." "Roger, Chief!" "Where are you going?" "The exit's the other way!" "There are some ruins up ahead!" "We'll take shelter there!" "Persistent little...!" "Target acquired!" "Finally!" "All right!" "That's 12 kills!" "Stop bragging and save the chief!" "Silvie?" "Look, I'm grateful you helped us to get away, but why does this always happen when the military handles things?" "Somebody I'm carrying around shouldn't be complaining!" "There's a lot we don't know about them." "We're doing our best." "Forgive me." "This is my fault." " Your fault?" " Ishtar, don't tell her!" "Thank you, Hibiki..." "It was so much fun." "Ishtar, wait!" "What did she mean?" "The Ship of the Alus..." "The ship sent the love song to the giants..." "Feff!" "Who is she?" " I don't know." " You don't know?" "!" "You brought her here, didn't you?" "All I know is that she's one of them." "What do you mean?" "I was trying to give her a taste of our culture." "And now this happens!" "Ishtar!" "That idiot!" "Sorry I'm late, Silvie." "Wha..." "And here is the battle mecha which attacked Culture Park earlier." "These mecha are the same as those involved in the Mars battle  and is believed to be similar to Zentraedi design  and are likely members of a rogue Zentraedi fleet." "However, thanks to quick response by U.N. Spacy forces  damage to the Culture Park monuments was minimized  and the enemy was once again totally defeated." "U.N. Spacy assures us that our superior Valkyrie fighters  will maintain the safety of the civilian populace  until a lasting peace can be achieved." "All those wounded in the incident were evacuated  by the U.N. Spacy to area hospitals." "Only minor injuries were reported." "Moving to our next story..." "At a time like this?" "!" "What is it?" "It's the annual U.N. Spacy Moon Festival!" "A glorious tribute to the men and women who defend our Earth!" "There's a wonderful song waiting for you!" "What is it?" "It looks like fun!" "It's just a military propaganda festival." "I want to go!" "I want to see her sing!" "I want to learn more about your Earth's music!" "All right then." "I can do a report on it." "But before we do that, won't you tell me who you are?" "If I go to the ship, then I will know." "If I go there, then I'll tell you." "What is it about that old ship?" "Are they insane?" "Holding the festival during this crisis!" "Nexx, we have to stop this." "Silvie, cancelling it would only cause more worry." "You know the brass don't want to cause a full scale panic." "I just think it's strange to avoid panic by hiding the truth." "The U.N. Spacy is the symbol of Earth itself." "If we appear unsure of ourselves, then the civilians lose confidence." "And then how can we defend the Earth?" "Maybe you have a point." "Silvie..." "Let's just enjoy being together." "Excuse me?" "Can I get your autographs?" "I'm a big fan of both of you!" "My pleasure." "Silvie..." "Stop trying to take on the world's problems." "Want to take a little drive?" "For medicinal purposes, of course." "Thanks for the offer, Nexx." "But I need to think." "I read you." "See you moonside." "I know how he sees this, but..." "It's dangerous." "We don't know what they might try." "Them!" "Gotta follow them!" "Kinda broken down, but it still works." "It's beautiful!" "The closest things to us are Culture Park, and then the city." "You can see U.N. Spacy headquarters, too." "The inside's in pretty good shape, considering all the energy spikes." "Be careful, Hibiki." "It's so dark." "Hibiki!" "I'm okay!" "Shoulda brought a flashlight, shouldn't we?" "What the...?" "Are you okay, Ishtar?" "!" "Yes..." "You must have hit a switch on the console." "Ishtar, what are you?" "I am an Emulator." "A priestess who sings to guide the Marduk to victory." "Marduk?" "!" "You mean you aren't Meltran?" "The Marduk are a race of warriors." "We've wandered space since antiquity destroying all other cultures we encounter." "To control our Zentraedi warriors while in combat we Emulators exist." "You mean you use the Zentran to fight for you?" "Correct." "Our songs enhance their aggressive instincts and impel them to fight for the Marduk." "Music for us is used only for war." "Only for war?" "But coming here has taught me of its other purposes." "And I wanted to learn more." "I thought coming here would reveal the "love song" that lady mentioned." "Lady?" "Oh, you mean Mash." "I think this ship is the Ship of the Alus." "Ship of the Alus?" "A ship known to us in legend." "One with the power to lead the Marduk to peace." "What, the Macross?" "No way!" "Yeah, it fell from space a long time ago, but I doubt it's from your legend." "I don't know." "But I sense it is." "But if this is the Ship of the Alus..." "Silvie!" "Of all the idiotic stunts!" "I'm taking her with me!" "The military can't have her!" "We're not fighting the Zentraedi this time!" "We face the Marduk!" "That girl's the enemy!" "I'm not letting you keep her just to score some big scoop!" "If I turn her over, the news will never get out!" "Ishtar's existence, the Marduk's existence..." "They'll wind up like Dennis's disk!" "I understand your concerns." "But we have our own concerns!" "YOUR concerns?" "!" "You have to let the public know the truth!" "Then everyone can have a say about what to do!" "Is military censorship going to keep them from attacking?" "!" "That's..." "Controlling the truth hasn't ended this war!" "Well, then, what do you plan on doing with her?" "I was just trying for a scoop at first, but not anymore." "I think this is turned into something a lot bigger." "I chose to stay here!" "Please don't blame Hibiki!" "Ishtar's known only war." "I want to show her that Earth offers something else!" "Dammit, it's my duty!" "Or else I don't deserve to be called a journalist." "Silvie..." "I won't let just the military have Ishtar!" "All right..." "I'll let you go this time." "But next time I'm taking her in, even if I have to break your arms!" "Silvie!" "Thank you." "Amy, you're a bit off." "Roger!" "Compensating!" "Program two!" "Area C, Camera 3:" "Standby!" "Here they come!" "And that's U.N. Spacy ace pilot Lt. Silvie Gena  commanding Faerie Team for some precision aerobatics!" "Lookit that Silvie!" "Whatta babe!" "You can date HER then!" "I'm leaving!" "Hey, wait!" "Capt. Nexx!" "Isn't he cool?" "!" "And passing in review, a proud ship of the U.N. Spacy fleet!" "The Lunar Festival is pleased to present Unit 12's Gloria!" "FIRE!" "Magnificent." "The U.N. Spacy has to be the very symbol of Earth." "If they stop believing that, then it's the end for us all." "It seems so enjoyable..." "Is this the "love song"?" "Thank you, Wendy Ryder!" "And now the U.N. Spacy presents its latest fighter:" "The Metal Siren!" "And the pilot is Lt. Silvie Gena!" "Thanks, everyone!" "Go!" "I wish I could sing like Wendy does." "You will, Ishtar." "Will you sing for me someday?" "I wish to sing a love song..." "When I return to the Marduk, I want them all to hear it." "What the...?" "Huh?" "What's wrong?" "Hang on!" "What maneuverability!" "That's..." "The Marduk!" "Ishtar!" "Hibiki..." "Hibiki, what's happening?" "We just lost our feed!" "The enemy's after Silvie in the Metal Siren." "Wendy's in there, too!" "No shit?" "Okay, we've got a Valkyrie up there." "Use it!" "I'll get you a scoop for sure!" "Show those army boys how it's done, Hibiki!" "We can't afford any embarassments on this one." "I'm counting on you, Nexx!" "Roger!" "Isn't this going a little far?" "!" "Hurry up and shoot them down!" "Can't." "We aren't carrying any live ammo." "What?" "!" "No way!" "This isn't part of the show." "These guys are for real!" "What?" "!" "No way!" "Ishtar!" "I want you to wait for me with Mash." " No." "I'm coming, too." " Absolutely not." "It's my fault they're in danger." "I must convince the Marduk..." "To convince Feff to stop!" "The guy who came after you before?" "We mustn't fight!" "If I tell the Marduk about Earth, about its music..." "Then I might be able to end this war!" "End the war?" "Take me to the Marduk!" "Get my story and end the war..." "All right, let's do it!" "They're taking us prisoner?" "What's going to happen to us?" "!" "Dunno, but it looks like we get to live for now." "That's...!" "Well, I guess that's it for us." "Sorry I'm late, Silvie." "Nexx!" "Can't let the bad guys have my partner!" "All units, move in!" "Time for the grand finale!" "Roger!" "Nexx must have started!" "Gotcha!" "Hurry!" "Save us!" " Silvie!" "You okay?" " Hibiki?" "!" "Yup, and I'm here to save you for a change!" "Don't be an idiot!" "Ishtar!" "What are you trying to do, Hibiki?" "!" "I WILL come back, with the scoop of the century!" "See ya!" "Do you have a death wish?" "!" "Chief, are you okay?" "!" "Nastasha, form up over me!" "We're switching planes!" "Chief, what are you going to do?" " Sorry!" " Chief!" "So these are the Marduk..." "I ask again." "What is your mission?" "What is this "SNN"?" "SNN is a civilian news network." "I just work for them." "So it's a propaganda dissemination agency?" "No!" "That guy!" "Were you the one who contaminated Ishtar?" "Contaminate?" "Did you operate on her to control her thoughts?" "Are you nuts?" "!" "I'd never do that to her!" "Whatever your contamination, Ishtar shall be reborn!" "Very soon!" "Surface alarm cut off." "Looks okay." "I've gotta find that idiot's homing signal somehow." "Is that...?" "!" "Good, he isn't on it." "I'd better get moving!" "Hibiki..." "Oh, well, better make the best of it!" "SNN scoop maker Hibiki Kanzaki here." "I have successfully infiltrated a Marduk ship!" "And I'm about to remove the veil of secrecy from..." "Silvie?" "What are you doing here?" "No time for explanations." "Come on!" "Move it!" "Careful, Hibiki." "The Zentraedi are close by." "That idiot!" "Dammit, if they catch you this time it won't just be boring!" "Silvie, something's wrong." "I've never seen Zentraedi like this." "Mind control!" "My God..." "Silvie, we need to talk." "I know." "You want to get her." "But how do we do it?" "Here we go..." "Huh?" "That's right." "The ship that launched..." "That's it!" "Let's go, Silvie!" "Right..." "There's some stuff I want to see here, too." "What's the deal?" "This is the emergency storage trunk!" "Just shut up." "...that our war with them is wrong!" "Ishtar, all they have done is confuse you." "It would appear the Alus Nova is needed after all." "Come..." "Hibiki..." "I'll show you just how tough a Valkyrie can be!" "I can't guarantee your life from here on in." "Right." "Ishtar, the wavelength is unstable." "Calm yourself." "You're disturbing your entire brainwave pattern." "Lady Elensh, that world is the world of the Alus." "I discovered the Ship of the Alus there." "The Ship of the Alus?" "Impossible." "That's only a myth." "I have touched the soul of the Alus!" "The world of the Alus holds a magnificent culture." "And it contains so many songs!" "Deceptions!" "No, they were not!" "Songs of joy..." "Songs of sorrow..." "And above them all, songs of love." "Even we, who possess only one type of song..." "We can make them, too!" "It's Ishtar!" "It's definitely her!" " Silvie, she's straight ahead!" " Okay, you're the navigator." "I don't want to fight you guys right now!" "Ishtar, peace for the Marduk means domination of our enemies." "Without this, chaos and confusion will reign throughout all space." "No, the love song still resonates within my heart." "Lady Elensh, forgive me!" "I cannot!" "Ishtar, return your thoughts to what they were!" "You must not defile this most sacred place!" "I cannot!" "Lady Elensh, I cannot ever go back!" "The songs of the world of the Alus resonate within my soul!" "Ishtar, no!" "This'll take forever." " Outstanding, Silvie." " Wait a second." "This is getting impossible." "It's a miracle we've gotten this far." "We should be grateful to my grandma." "Your grandma?" "I'm one-quarter Meltrandi." "I inherited my recklessness from her." "Silvie..." "You're as reckless as I am." "Uh-huh." "I guess neither of us can beat the other there." "I can't forgive these guys." "You saw those Zentran." "Maybe they were only born to fight but they never gave up their right to be free." "They're people, not just weapons!" "That's why I'm betting on the possibility Ishtar presents." "Thanks, Silvie!" "You trust her then?" "Yeah." "And I even trust her sleazy reporter friend." "That was just..." "Shall we go?" "Can you get a shot of me?" "Sure..." "Report from U.N. Spacy Valkyrie pilot, Lt. Silvie Gena." "We have penetrated a Marduk ship." "Position weak, outlook poor." "Perhaps this record will survive if we don't..." "I guess you can say we're caught like rats in a trap!" "Thanks..." "That's Ishtar!" " Let's go!" " Okay!" "She has told me of you." "But peace for the Marduk will come only with the destruction of all other worlds." "That is the divine destiny we hold to!" "No!" "There have been those who felt it was wrong, but that is heresy." "No, what we know must be forgotten." "The will of Emperor Ingues is all!" "Those who have been contaminated must be punished!" "That is the Marduk way!" " Hibiki!" " Ishtar!" "Careful!" "Ishtar!" "That son of a...!" " Hibiki, we have to go!" " What about Ishtar?" "!" "There's nothing we can do!" "Shit, if only he didn't have her in there!" "This must be that "Ingues" guy's punishment!" "Hang on!" "Made it!" "It's the chief!" "Chief, do you read me?" "!" "Chief!" "Chief, do you read?" "Nastasha?" "I read you!" "Chief, I suggest you thank dear Cmdr. Exxegran in a big way!" "It's hard getting the keys to this thing!" "Don't ask me how, but we're saved." "Yeah..." "Now, will you tell me what happened out there?" "Yes, sir." "That I went in to save that civilian newsman is the truth." "But there was a girl in that Valkyrie as well." "Her name is Ishtar." "She is an Emulator for the Marduk." "And you...?" "I knew what she was." "Go on." "The newsman brought her back with him during our First Contact." "What's his name?" "Hibiki." "Hibiki Kanzaki." "Him..." "Ishtar apparently felt she could end this war." "End the war?" "Yes, sir." "They use their Emulators' song to control the minds of the enemy Zentran." "She felt that, if she could just sing them an Earth song..." "But the song has to be sung by one of their Emulators." "She was able to confuse them but not enough to change the course of the war." "But we have a chance, Silvie." "You've done a good job." "Thank you, lieutenant." " Launch Thunder One!" " Inoperative!" "We interrupt this program for a special report." "The U.N. Spacy has been deceiving all of you!" "The Zentraedi who have invaded Earth's space  are under the mind control of a race called the Marduk." "This is footage taken inside a Marduk warship." "These Zentran have been conditioned to fight better  when they hear a special song sung by their "Emulators"." "What the hell's going on?" "!" "Kill that broadcast!" "What the hell is the Media Bureau doing?" "!" "Sir, it's being sent by the military emergency broadcast system!" "Impossible!" "Kill it now!" "And arrest that journalist!" "We've traced the transmission..." "It's the subcom Room, right here!" "What?" "We have the right to know about the danger the Earth faces." "The fate of the world, the lives of each and every one of us  cannot be left to military control!" "Every..." "Grab him!" "That hurts!" "Enemy Zentraedi engaging us at defense line two." "Where did you get the footage?" "On the enemy ship." "It's for real." "You will not deceive the civilians with that fake footage of yours!" "I believe he escaped that enemy ship with one of your people, Cmdr. Exxegran." "Yes, they went in to rescue this civilian." "A foolish risk!" "Who was it?" "Have them brought here!" "I accept responsibility for the actions of my command." "Was the person who filed the report Lt. Silvie Gena?" "!" "If that's the case, we can't leave you in charge of this matter." "There's already enough scandal linked with you two." "I suggest you leave Lt. Gena's disposition up to us, Exxegran!" "So where is she?" "On standby alert with the rest of Faerie Team." "Lt. Gena will be imprisoned for three days, as will this civilian." "Macross Cannons moving into position." " Four of them?" " Aye, but two more are on the way." "Unnecessary." "Four will be enough." "Situation critical at defense line two." "We read losses at 85%." "Number of enemy ships estimated at 1300." "But the actual number is unknown." "It could be triple that." "They've come..." "We'll draw them all in, then destroy them in one blow!" "Distance to enemy fleet:" "126,000." "26,000 to maximum impact range of the Macross Cannons." "Large numbers of enemy fighters approaching at high speed." "Launch Valkyrie teams." "They must keep them away from the cannons!" "Firewolf and White Ox teams, all units launch!" "Operation code:" "D-38" "Valkyrie teams engaging enemy battle mecha!" "Burt!" "Gimme some back-up!" "Come on, now!" "Battlezone moving back to D Field." "White Ox team:" "All units offline." "Enemy fleet still 2000 from maximum impact range." "Firewolf defenses have fallen." "Large numbers of enemy units approaching the Macross Cannons." "Defend the Cannon at all costs!" "Bring air defense systems online!" "Enemy fleet now in Macross Cannon range." "Valkyrie teams, fall back to B Field!" "Macross Cannons..." "FIRE!" "Reading 60% of enemy fleet destroyed." "Excellent." "Prepare to fire a second round!" "Detecting multiple defold reactions at 12 o'clock!" "What?" "!" "Second enemy wave has appeared!" "Balzae's fleet is engaging them!" "Roger!" "Metal Siren, launch!" "It doesn't matter." "Launch!" "I don't want to sing the song of war!" "Hibiki, tell me..." "What should I do?" "Where did you get the footage?" "I told you, one of the enemy helped me out." "Oh, one of them just "helped you out."" "Cut the crap, kid!" "Who told you to do this?" "!" "I didn't do this under anyone's orders!" "I just wanted everyone to know the truth!" "If we don't do something..." "Earth will be destroyed!" "You're saying our forces are going to lose?" "At the rate we're going, we'll definitely lose." "I've seen them..." "They haven't begun to fight!" "God damned Marduk..." "You'll pay for this!" "This is gonna take forever!" "No matter how many come, you're not getting to Earth..." "To Silvie!" " No, not that song!" " Ishtar, why are you here?" "Ingues fears that world." "He will destroy the Marduk entirely to annihilate it." "Ridiculous." "This battle is nearly over." "At the end of this battle lies another, and another!" "And even more of our people will die!" "What are you saying?" "It is by war the Marduk build their history!" "War isn't everything!" "The world of the Alus is teaching us that!" "That is what Ingues fears!" "Lord Feff..." "I am the law here!" "Launch all Zentran and link them with the other ships' song." "I will hold Ishtar here!" "These orders are all that need concern you." "Even if I have to use this ship as a shield they're not getting to Earth!" "Take us in towards them!" "Main engines, ahead full!" "Capt. Nexx, the Gloria's headed into the enemy fleet!" "What?" "!" "The Gloria?" "!" "Capt. Balzae!" "Captain, this is pointless!" "Pull back!" "I can't run!" "I gamble this ship for the fate of Earth itself!" "But sir..." "They're still..." "Captain!" "CAPTAIN BALZAE!" "I am a warrior of the Marduk, loyal to Lord Emperor Ingues." "My death will come only on the field of battle." "Feff..." "Go now, Ishtar, before I come to my senses." "I will say I killed you for your crime of rebellion." "I dared to love what I could never have." "Out!" "You're excused." "Cmdr. Exxegran, what's...?" "This is an unofficial meeting." "There will be no records." "Just like at the hotel." "Exactly, only without any indiscrete reporters, I hope!" "Commander, at this rate our forces can't win." "I'm afraid you're right." "It's just a matter of time before they breach our final defense line." "Do the civilians know?" "!" "No." "We may have the courage to die in battle but not admit when we're losing." "The enemy truly lies within." "But then..." "In a regular battle, our forces may be destroyed but you mentioned there might still be a path to peace." "Yes, sir." "The Marduk are led by an absolute dictator, Ingues." "He keeps his people fighting by means of rule by terror." "If we can topple him from power, we can join with those Marduk who desire peace and somehow end this war." "Launch a surgical strike on their mothership?" "!" "Exactly." "A sneak attack!" "What?" "!" "Commander, I have a proposal." "Use the Ship of the Alus!" "Hibiki..." "I'll try to sing." "The song of the Alus..." "The enemy will soon be here." "It's not the military's fault or the media's fault." "It's just the truth..." "So many people will die." "On their side and ours..." "Who'll die not knowing what's happening." "Everything will end." "And no lessons will be learned." "Humanity once again makes the same mistakes of history." "But after it ends, it's too late!" "I see the truth at last..." "I think about them all, and then I...!" "Defense line 1, Area A:" "Enemy contacted and engaging." "Fleet 2 at Area 2 reports 70% losses, including the flagship." "Confirming defold reaction in Area A." "All transmissions have ceased from battle group twenty." "Enemy units in Area C moving from point P to point Q." "There's no stopping them now." "This unannounced relocation of our defense line to a  closer point has been decided to be in our best interests." "The effect of this will be a slight risk to the surface." "As a precautionary measure, we have begun evacuating  citizens of this city into the underground shelters." "This is to guarantee your safety." "Good work, men." "I'll take him from here." "But we weren't..." "Lieutenant!" "Silvie!" "What are you doing, Silvie?" "Getting some payback." "What do you want to do?" "The U.N. Spacy doesn't have the strength to beat these guys." "We have just one gamble left." "We're going to the Macross." "Use those energy spikes, you mean?" "The main gun should still work." "But there's too many of them." "We'll just shoot their mother ship." "And then we'll see if it really is their "Ship of the Alus"." "Sounds like fun." "Count me in!" "Too many!" "Saori!" "Thank you!" "No time to celebrate." "You've got 5, 6, 7 bandits on your six!" " Huh?" "Where?" " You're surrounded!" " Where?" "!" " I've got 'em, Amy!" "Calm down!" "We'll hold out even if the chief isn't here!" "That's as far as you go!" "Capt. Nexx!" "Proceed to Cannon Base Two!" "But if I move from here we'll leave them an opening!" "Captain, this is a gamble for the fate of the Earth!" "Understood." "Auto-Lock System, standing by." "Over there." "Looking good..." "The Macross is coming back to life!" "Can we really run this thing?" "I read the manual." "Maybe I should get out and push?" "Attack!" "Subsystem #4:" "Operational." "Reactor output at 85%." "Safeties off, linking to main system." "Way to go, Silvie!" "Hibiki, open a com channel." "Wavelength four." "I'm getting data from UNS headquarters." "Are they in on this?" "No." "Only Cmdr. Exxegran and I know about this plan." "We need intelligence on the mothership's position to shoot it." "We can't fail." "We're betting everything on this one shot!" "Blue Liqueur team proceed to ZS-5 and counterattack!" "Sir, incoming message from Lt. Gena." " Put it through." " Number four." "Lieutenant, is the Macross operational?" "Sir, give me the data on the mothership's position." "They have a number of ships in the atmosphere already." "Destroying the mothership may change the situation." "We're counting on you, Silvie." "Roger!" "People used to live here!" "Their love song remains even now." "Macross, lifting off!" "The Macross?" "!" "What the hell?" "!" "Receiving video." "On left main screen." "Who's flying it?" "!" "I was never told of this!" " What is it?" "What's happening?" " The Macross!" "Look!" "Datalink established." "Enemy mothership coordinates confirmed." "Attack coordinates:" "GT-200." "RC-98." "Speed: 70." " Look alive, Hibiki." " Gotcha..." "Energy level rising from eighty to ninety." "Distance to attack coordinates: 10,000." "Energy level to full power!" "Macross standing by to fire main cannon!" "Please..." "Let this end it!" "Got it!" "That is not the Ship of the Alus!" "Coordinates calculated." "What would be the point?" "All on this world will be destroyed!" "We've lost..." "Silvie..." "If they'd just listened to us sooner, this all wouldn't be..." "It's no one's fault." "We all just got a little too used to having peace." "We closed ourselves into our little Earth and never bothered to look at the world outside." "And mankind IS little." "We're conceited." "And lazy..." "People in general are pretty disgraceful." "And when people finally come together, it's usually too late." "Come together?" "Yeah." "Like us." "But we managed to come together..." "And it's still not too late!" "Silvie..." "Hibiki!" "Ishtar!" "This is the power of the Alus!" "This is love, isn't it?" "We've broken their main force." "Why, Ishtar?" "Why does this world fascinate you so?" "What deceives you so that you sense the Ship of the Alus?" "!" "The enemy mothership has penetrated the atmosphere." "We've no more time to waste!" "This is the final plan, our gamble on humanity's future." "Correct." "Take us into the battlezone!" "Roger!" "Everything's being destroyed!" "It's all over..." "No!" "This is the Ship of the Alus." "We're here only because it led us here." "But we have nothing left to try." "The main gun's useless." "The power of the Alus isn't that." "It's the power that brought you and Hibiki together." "And it's brought us together." "That is the power of the Alus." "I'll send it to them." "So that the Marduk and your wonderful Earth can come together as we did." "Hibiki, I'm going to try!" "Okay." "What's the point?" "Open all com channels." "Let's give it a try, Silvie!" "We're here because we believed in the Macross's power." "Let's try another bet on our Ship of the Alus." "We must not fight!" "We must not destroy this world!" "I am Ishtar, Emulator of the Marduk." "There is culture here that is worth defending." "In saving it we will create something more." "Destroy it, and we will never be able to recreate it." "This world has taught me the sorrow of destruction." "The Marduk way teaches destruction to all things." "And it teaches there is no room for any other teaching." "We can draw no inspiration from our destruction." "We create nothing!" "Ishtar!" "We must not fight!" "We can come together!" "Sing, Emulators!" "And let all be destroyed!" "It is the deception of an inferior race!" "Do not be fooled!" "The Marduk are fated to control the cosmos!" "Sing, Emulators!" "Do not be deceived!" "Not that song!" "It is on Earth that true songs exist!" "Songs of happiness!" "Songs of sorrow!" "And songs of love!" "Taste my fire!" "Behold, the punishment for those who would contaminate us." "Utter annihilation!" "Sing, Emulators!" "Sing the Song of Death!" "Sing for all the Marduk!" "No, Lord Ingues!" "This world lies in ruin." "Surely you desire nothing more!" "You will not sing?" "Pathetic fools!" "The Marduk way must be preserved at any cost!" "I must now once again teach you all this!" "What's happening?" "!" "The end of everything..." "Is this punishment for the sake of the Marduk?" "!" "We can't let him do this!" "I still believe..." "This is the Ship of the Alus!" "What's this?" "What?" "Sing, Emulators!" "Or be punished with death!" "Stop it, Lord Ingues!" "You'll destroy the Marduk as well!" "Don't say never again." "That melody prayer you say again..." "Is this..."singing"?" "I've never heard anything like it." "It feels so good..." "No matter how far apart we are, I'll be sending it to you." "She's sending everyone the gentleness of her own heart." "You would destroy us as well!" "No!" "The Marduk are not yours alone!" "They're killing their own kind?" "!" "Captain, the mothership is locked on past the terminator!" "Open all cannons!" "Destroy the mothership!" "FIRE!" "Inferior scum!" "This disgusting race still exists?" "!" "It does not deserve to live!" "Destroy them!" "Destroy them all!" "Just once more, dream again..." "We must save ourselves!" "In the name of all the Marduk!" "You fools!" "Against me..." "They dare turn against me?" "!" "It has been three days since the defeat of the dictator Ingues  and between the Earth and the Marduk has been signed  an eternal peace treaty." " You're really leaving?" " Yes." "I want to build a new culture with everyone else." "There are so many wonderful songs here on Earth." "When I sang, I sang from my heart." "Of sadness, of pain..." "And finally of hope!" "I want to remain an Emulator so that I may teach my people about the feelings the Macross gave me!" "Ishtar!" "Ishtar!" "Glad I caught you." "Here, I want you to have this." "Thank you." "I'll treasure it." "Silvie..." "Take care of Hibiki." "You were a wonderful rival." "Ishtar!" "A wonderful rival..." "She'll create a magnificent culture for them." "I know..."
