The Galactic Seeding Plan.
A space emigration project chosen by Humanity after coming face to face with extinction.
From ultra large-scale convoys to small private vessels,
a great many ships were journeying through space in search of new worlds.
It was a grand age of galactic exploration, made possible by the trans-spatial travel method known as "folding".
Put me in a valkyrie!
You little!
Don't spout off on the spur of the moment!
Damn punk!
I've found you,
Saotome Alto!
No you don't!
Delta-1,
I've restrained a Vajra at point-blank distance to the ship.
Requesting back-up fire!
This is Kanaria.
I can go anytime.
Request launch authorizaton.
Monica-kun?
There seems to be confusion.
Still no launch authorization from the President's office.
Dammit.
Incompetent politicians!
Leader!
Michel! Luca!
I can only hold this thing for so long.
Can you two take care of it?
Yes, sir!
This is crazy, a shot like this...
I'll do it!
Michael?
Him?!
He hit the thing.
Good job, Michel.
I merely did what was necessary, Squad Leader.
I'll buy you a drink later.
What?!
Squad Leader!
Stop this! You've gotta be kidd-
Sheryl, this way!
Michel, Luca, we're following the Vajra!
Announcement from the Frontier Government.
Evacuation alarm has been issued on all vessels.
All citizens, please retreat to shelters quickly.
Again?
What's going on?
What the heck was that?
How am I supposed to know?
Dammit.
Got saved by him again ...
Let go.
Hey!
S-Sorry!
Huh?
No way...
Oh gosh.
How come...
Huh?
Hurry up and...
Okay...
See?
It's okay.
Can't you even say, "I'll protect you," to a scared little girl or two?
Stuff it!
If the situation let me, I'd say it all you want!
But right now, I...
Let's just get out of here.
It seems that'd be better for both of us, mentally.
Can't.
This is an emergency foxhole.
It's not connected to the dome interior.
Wait...
You mean we're stuck in here?!
What?!
Squad Leader, there are some military craft.
They're late.
As always.
Geez, it sure is hot.
What the hell, geez!
Sheryl-san!
You just saw mine in person!
Consider that a bargain.
Bullshit!
You show most of it on stage anyway!
That's different from my private life!
Don't look at me with those lecherous eyes, you pervert!
Who are you calling a pervert?!
You!
You horny kid!
Shut up, you exhibitionist!
What did you just say?!
I-Is anyone hungry?
I just happen to have some really delicious dim sum.
Niang Niang's famous...
Tuna bao!
A-After all, they say armies can't wage war on an empty stomach...
And since we're stuck inside, well, like a tuna bao... or...
You really are cute.
I thought I asked you to always send a security officer along whenever she goes out.
Since she always returns in time for work, I thought...
It's urgent; I need you to isolate her current location.
But the operators seem to have their hands full.
Um, if it's all right, would you mind authorizing me on the shipboard network?
What?
An implant?
Did you say they were illegal on Frontier?
But they're quite convenient, you know.
In all sorts of ways.
It's no good.
No matter how much I try, it's not being restored.
It's hard to sit calmly when your fate is in the hands of others.
I wonder if the SMS people are all right.
You know one of them?
Yeah.
My big brother works in their offices,
and I go there often to bring snacks.
SMS, huh?
Hey, isn't it getting kinda stuffy?
Enough with the sarcasm already!
No, really.
It really feels hard to breathe...
Damn, the circulation system is down.
At this rate, we won't last another fifteen minutes!
Come on.
Do something, will you?!
Easy for you to say!
If I could, I would have done something long ago!
But...
You've got to be kidding.
Stupid, don't!
It's a vacuum out there!
So I should give up and wait until we suffocate instead?!
No thank you.
I won't give up!
Everyone says I'm lucky.
But I think I've worked hard enough to match that.
That's why I can keep being Sheryl Nome.
That's how you take fate into your own hands.
Precisely.
All clear...
Yes, sir.
This time, it seems there weren't any which retreated by fold.
Guess I bled too much...
All units, return to... base...
Squad Leader?
Squad Leader, please respond!
Squad Leader!!!
Listen close,
you'd better forget what you saw earlier.
If you happen to leak that visual data on the net,
I'll wipe you out, socially and biologically.
Oh but, as an ordinary memory, I'll allow you to use it just for tonight.
Silly, do you really think I'd allow that?
What the...
Hey, Ranka-chan.
Ah, yes?
Do you like singing?
Yes!
Then be true to yourself.
Opportunities are always right in front of you.
I almost never give anyone a treat like this.
Quite a leisurely rescue.
On that matter, I apologize.
If we'd known the circulation system was down, we would-
Never mind the excuses.
Answer your phone already.
Yes?
I am finished here.
What?
Lt. Cdr. Ozma Lee was injured?
What?!
Ozma...
Brother...
You... Are you...
Brother!
Why are you hurt?!
You said you quit piloting!
You said you'd never leave me alone...
...that you wouldn't do anything dangerous!
Ranka...
You can't die...
You can't, Brother...
Why?
Why would you do such a thing?!
I haven't told anyone that secret!
So... no...
NO!!!
Hey!
I see.
And I've been hiding my work so that this wouldn't happen...
Squad Leader...
What's wrong with her?
Ranka reacts abnormally to the death or injury of those close to her.
Dissociative amnesia.
In short, compartmentalized memory loss.
Due to post-traumatic stress disorder or other condition,
recollection of a specific experience becomes impossible.
But factors which can cause that experience to resurface will generate intense suffering and fear.
Basically, it's a type of memory disorder.
Ranka's already recovered.
I hope you don't mind, but I sent her home.
Sorry for always dragging you into my home problems.
Don't worry about it.
We're a team.
What did you mean by specific experience?
A long time ago, Ranka lost all of her blood relatives.
Parents, siblings, everyone.
But you...
I'm not Ranka's real older brother.
I'm just a good-for-nothing pilot... who wasn't able to protect her family eleven years ago.
Ranka's forgotten that.
...that atrocious incident.
Then why are you even piloting?
Because of that, she-
To protect her.
Protect her?
And because of it, hiding every detail from her? Is that what you call protecting?!
Then what the hell should I do?!
Huh?!
Tell her "your family was torn to shreds by Vajra and died"?
"And because of that, you have mental scars"?!
Is that what I should say?!
Squad Leader, your wounds...
Michel, nurse call.
Understood.
Luca, watch that monitor.
Okay.
If it was me, I'd want to know everything.
I wouldn't be able to take leaving my fate up to others!
Tell me,
what are they...
What the hell are those Vajra?!
Once you know, there's no going back.
I don't care.
I'll give you twenty-four hours.
Think it over again carefully.
About what you want to do.
What you want to fight for and what you're willing to risk.
I'm sorry for not telling you all this time, Alto-senpai.
We're supposed to keep our SMS affiliation secret for security reasons.
But now we can fly together in the unit, too, not just in school.
If that happens, then you'd be the senpai...
Oh please, stop such-
Yeah, stop this.
Alto, are you going to run away again?
Run away?
Not me!
Don't misjudge yourself.
So far, I've been flying with you for more than a year.
The way you're going,
you'll eventually die,
or kill someone else.
I don't intend to be caught in the crossfire.
I'm warning you as a friend.
Michel-senpai...
These are the reports concerning those who came in contact.
This girl...
Is something wrong, Leon?
I mean, Chief of Staff Mishima.
Leon is fine.
On-duty hours ended thirty seconds ago.
It's private time now.
We can't, Leon.
If my father were to...
His Excellency has already retired for the evening.
But-
Leon!
Wow, this is gorgeous!
This stone is a precious item which is rarely seen on the market.
For those watching tonight, we're going to throw in the earrings with the set.
What? The earrings, too?
Are you sure you can do that?
Of course.
My earring!
When you wear them as a set like this, they sparkle all the more brightly, don't they?
Geez.
Now I have to see him again...
They really do!
This way, they will really match any dress.
A mass funeral is planned for the victims of the string of convoy attacks.
According to New Federation Military Staff Headquarters, there were twenty-eight combat related deaths.
Ahead of the funeral, President Glass promised sufficient compensation to the victims' families...
Alto, are you going to run away again?
From your dad and your home?
No...
I'M NOT!

Ranka?
Alto-kun!
That was a nice song.
You know, I...
I don't remember anything about my childhood.
But I do remember this song.
It's my one and only memory.
I see.
So sometimes I come to this hill to sing.
Here, there's no one listening.
No one listening?
Is that what you want?
Huh?
Yeah.
That's how I've always felt, but...
Isn't Sheryl-san wonderful?
I'm envy her so much.
When we were stuck in that hole, I was terribly afraid.
I thought, "I'm just gonna die in here without anyone knowing, unable to do anything..."
After that, I started to wish I could say, "Here I am"... to tell it to as many people as possible.
Impossible.
Huh?
You're right.
Someone like me...
As long as you're still saying "wish I could" or "someone like me,"
it'll never happen!
You're a tease, aren't you, Alto-kun?
That's what they tell me.
I want to tell it to everyone .
So will you listen to my song?
Do what you want.
Thanks, Alto-kun!

Unfearing, unflinching.
He staked his life, fought for that which he held dear, and exhausted his strength.

So for now, sleep,
our friend.
Farewell.
We shall meet again.
Salute!
As civilian military providers, our deaths aren't combat deaths.
They're treated as accidental deaths.
We don't get tombstones over there either.
We don't get convoy-wide funerals,
and even our families aren't told the details.
Just perfect for me.
I'll live by my own strength alone.
And I'll be alone when I die.
That's just fine.
Move into the barracks by 0800 tomorrow morning.
Yes, sir!
That starts tomorrow.
Senpai!
Oh senpai, do you know the way to the barracks?
Geez, dumb bastard.
If that's how it is, I'm gonna run you ragged.
No. 114, Ranka Lee.
Please give me a chance.
Well then, Ranka-san,
can you tell me why you entered the Miss Macross Frontier contest?
So she decided to be true to herself.
Yes!
Alto and Ranka have taken their first steps into new worlds.
Are the trials standing in their way simply the pain of being born?
Next time, Miss Macross.
