The Protoculture.
One of the great interstellar civilizations, which advanced across the galaxy 500,000 years ago.
Fold travel, gravity control...
and Zentraedi, the giant race...
These are all part of their legacy.
But even that Protoculture was not eternal,
and they faced destruction from conflict they brought upon themselves.
In the midst of that, it is said Humanity was created as the bearer of their disappearing peace and culture.
Alas, can it be said that their wish was fulfilled?

What?!
You got discharged already?
Luca-kun, too?
I basically just checked in for tests.
And Luca's in another hospital,
but I heard he can leave day after tomorrow.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry I couldn't visit.
Hey, no one asked you to come.
But it is cheeky of you to be busy with work right at the start of your career.
Busy or not, I can't tell Alto-kun I'm doing this every day.
Oh really?
I am having quite a bit of fun, Ranka-san.
Tokugawa-san...
Everything starts with building a foundation.
You were signed for some tv work also, weren't you?
Yes!
Just as a guest on a little variety show.
But I should just be happy for the privilege of working, right?
I'll do my best!
Ranka-chan!
News! News! It's big news!
That thing we talked about, you passed!
Really!?
Yes!
I'm Ranka Lee. I've transferred in to the Entertainment program here as a freshman.
It's my pleasure to meet you.
Mihoshi Academy High School,
Frontier's top specialist training campus, with a focus on inheritance of traditional culture, technological learning, et cetera.
There are established entertainment, general engineering, intelligence, spaceflight, and other departments.
Each of the eight programs is completely on the unit system,
so besides the classes for your program in a given year, you must take two approved elective classes.
And that's the general overview.
Doesn't that sound interesting...
I couldn't stay at my old school, anyway, because I started working,
so I tried taking the transfer exam here.
But my heart was pounding!
After all, it's famous for being tough and having a practical test.
With your ability, Ranka-san, it's no wonder you passed!
To think we'll see each other every day now...
I'm so happy I could just...
Nana-chan!
It's going to be fun, isn't it?
Right, Alto-senpai?
Take me under your wing, 'kay, Alto-kun?
Yeah... sure...
Well then,
shall I bestow a campus tour upon our new school chum?
Huh?
N-No, that's okay...
Don't hold back, now.
Today, Ranka-chan is the leading lady.
Leading lady?
That sounds kind of nice...
Wh-
What are you doing here...
Sheryl-san...
The debriefing of the rescued Dulfim crewmembers is finished.
But it seems that ship broke formation right after the Galaxy convoy was attacked by the Vajra.
In the end...
So Galaxy's whereabouts are still unknown?
Yes, unfortunately.
When will they rescind the crew isolation order?
It's not possible until the quarantine is definitively complete.
There is that risk of type-V syndrome, also.
I had one report that concerns me from a squadron member here...
Saying there may have been an unknown craft...
You mean a "foo fighter"?
Although, in a sense, it's a romantic notion.
I'm comin' in.
By the way, Cathy,
if you're free, how about dinner tonight?
Uh- Umm...
Tonight isn't really...
I'll call you later.
Here ya go, the reports you demanded.
Geez, givin' me a hassle with that crap...
The submission deadline is long past.
And what is this?
Your handwriting is as messy as ever.
And you're just as much of a nag as ever.
Maybe you've gotten more wrinkles.
What's with him?!
Geez...
"Exchange with local students"?
Yup.
I've got official consent from the school.
But what a coincidence...
...that you'd just transferred to this school, too.
Yes...
You're still auditing, right?
Let's have my little slave there show us around.
S-Slave?!
That's right.
Because Alto is my s-l-a-v-e.
I'M ON FIRE!
Queen Sheryl!!!
Make me your slave, too!!!
Oh no, my Princess Alto!
Princess?
Ta-da.
Princess...
Come on!
Alto-kun...
Give it a rest!
Who are you calling "slave"?!
Oh, not to your liking?
Damn straight!
How cruel!
You take my precious earring...
...and lose it in space...
Those two...
What is their relationship?
I'm sorry.
I don't really... know either.
You interested, too, Ranka-chan?
W-Well, I am interested, but...
Ah!
But I don't mean "interested" in that way...
But... um...
Something wrong?
No, I thought there was something...
I'm sorry about the earring.
But this and that are two different things.
In the first place, are you fine just passing time here?
Galaxy's whereabouts are still unknown, right?
I have faith.
Galaxy couldn't be beaten so easily.
That's right!
Listen up, little slave,
I can't have Galaxy being beaten in such a way.
Got that?
If you've got it, then hurry up and show me around this place.
At least quit with the "slave".
Okay then, Princess.
Now then, where shall we...
That.
Ta-da!
Maniac...
You think an amateur can do anything with that?
Silence, Princess.
So what? I just pick up these eggs?
Well, let's just say it's an old standard.
If you succeed, I'll present you with an all-expense paid sightseeing flight with me!
Oh, I'm sorry, flirty guys aren't my type.
...That's unfortunate.
Well, whatever.
This is a piece of cake.
Aw... and that was a precious natural one, too.
I just messed up the amount of power that time!
Ah yes, ma'am. Extra side of eggs!
Idiot...
Oh, how is work going?
Um...
Little by little.
I left everything to Grace, so I don't know what channel or timeslot,
but soon, I'm having a tv special.
Since you're solo, I could wedge you in easily.
Please don't make fun of her.
Nana-chan?
Ranka-san will be fine without your help.
What is with you anyway?!
You suddenly barge into our school...
And jab Saotome-kun all over as if you're the Queen...
Aha...
Could it be you're in love with Alto?
Huh?!
Is that true, Nana-chan?!
No, it's not. I-
Come to think of it, you're quite a cutie.
And you've got good proportions.
Don't look at me with such lustful eyes!
I'm sorry, Samson...
Sure you want to leave the Queen alone?
I'm not going to babysit her anymore!
Somehow I get the feeling you underestimate Sheryl's popularity.
In the first place, have you ever thought about why she only screws around with you?
Probably because I was close-at-hand and easy to threaten.
Dumb kid.
Uh... Sheryl-san.
Thank you for the job offer.
But I think I do want to try it on my own.
Even today, I have a taping in a little while.
So...
I thought you might say that.
You should stick to the path you believe in.
Yes.
Wha-
NOOO!
MY UNDERWEAR!
Sheryl-san's...
...freshly taken-off raw...
R-Raw...
Hey!
Stop right there! That's my...
It's time, isn't it?
You should go, quickly.
B-But the panties...
Who do you think I am?
At the start of the race, just worry about yourself.
Huh?
Yes!
Don't let the treasure get away!
Where is it?!
I have intel saying someone saw it on the athletic grounds!
What the heck is that commotion?
Have I been desensitized...
I'm borrowing that!
Wait, Sheryl-san, you can't!
Out of the way!
Michael...
What did you teach her?
Basic operation and coasting.
What about stopping?
There's something else I'm concerned about...
What is it?
I think she zoomed off without locking it!
Life is one, two, deculture!
Hang in there, me!
I'm sorry, Sir.
I'll be there in a little-
Nonononono, it totally caught me off guard!
The thing is, they said they got a Sheryl TV special, you know,
so the show itself got pre-empted...
No, no, no, see, the producer, though, toootally loved you, Ranka-chan.
So next time! Next time, you can be on for sure!
Okay?
That's rock-solid without a doubt.
Everything's fine!
It hasn't leaked otherwise, right?
The data has already been requisitioned.
Also, concerning the Ranka Lee matter, I've made a few arrangements.
Oh, I did request something like that, didn't I?
Shall I continue surveillance?
Since the girl does intrigue me a bit...
Move! Move!
Damn...
That shrew!!!
Some guy said he saw it on the roof!
Roof... yes?
Yessum. Yessum. Yessum.
What an incorrigible child.
How dare you make Sheryl go to these lengths!
Damn your recklessness!
Alto...
They sure know how to give us a scare...
Both the Queen and the Princess.
My Samson!!!
Geez.
Getting all worked up over one measly piece of fabric...
Come on, it's my underwear!
And I was wearing it until just-
That's too much information!
What're you looking at, stupid Alto...
Hey Alto, could you keep flying for a little bit?
What?!
Then I'll forgive you for the earring.
You're not lying?
Of course.
I'm Sheryl, after all.
What's that s'posed to mean?
Are you... possibly that...
Guess that can't be.
Come here.
I'm alone right now, too.
I don't remember seeing any like you.
What planet are you brought from?
You're cute.
Will you listen to my song?

Huh?
You...
Our first meeting was kind of like this, too.
I'm going to take us back soon.
You're satisfied, aren't you?
Nope, not at all.
It's still not nearly enough.
Huh?!
I'm Sheryl Nome, and I transferred in to the Piloting program.
P-Pilot?!
Pleased to meet you.
