1. Booby Trap
Copy !req
2. It was the year 1999.
Copy !req
3. It was the year 1999.
Copy !req
4. The object that had suddenly come
screaming from the heavens
Copy !req
5. was a gigantic space battleship
over 1,200 meters in length.
Copy !req
6. The ship's technology was far in
advance of mankind's own,
Copy !req
7. and while no trace of alien beings
could be found aboard,
Copy !req
8. it was clear that life did indeed
exist beyond our planet
Copy !req
9. and that it had made the
stars its battlefield.
Copy !req
10. This prompted both the founding of the
Earth United Nations Government,
Copy !req
11. which would take precedence over the
interests of the individual nations,
Copy !req
12. and a concerted effort to restore
the giant spacecraft.
Copy !req
13. But the road to establishing the Earth U.N.
Government was by no means an easy one,
Copy !req
14. and pockets of intense fighting
sprang up across the world.
Copy !req
15. Despite this, restoration of the
battleship progressed steadily.
Copy !req
16. Finally, the long and painful
Unification Wars came to an end,
Copy !req
17. and the Earth was once again at peace.
Copy !req
18. In time, this wrecked craft of alien design
was rebuilt by human hands,
Copy !req
19. and given new life as the giant
battleship, Macross.
Copy !req
20. It is now ten years since the Macross
crash-landed on Earth.
Copy !req
21. That thunderbolt which pierced the mighty skies
Copy !req
22. And struck the Earth
Copy !req
23. Was let loose
Copy !req
24. To awaken us, the young mankind
Copy !req
25. Macross! Macross!
Copy !req
26. Even as they protect their loved ones
Copy !req
27. The youths who have bravely taken a stand
Copy !req
28. Will set out on their continuing fight
Copy !req
29. Will you love me tomorrow?
Copy !req
30. Slicing through the darkness they fly toward
Copy !req
31. That blue planet that shines in the distance
Copy !req
32. Macross! Macross!
Copy !req
33. Macross!
Copy !req
34. What is it, Mr. Mayor?
Copy !req
35. I was just thinking, I've looked up
at the Macross for so long,
Copy !req
36. and today, it'll be leaving
our sight for good.
Copy !req
37. Still, I wonder if that huge
thing will even fly?
Copy !req
38. And I wonder what will happen
to our local businesses?
Copy !req
39. There goes one of the Macross proponents,
and a VIP to boot.
Copy !req
40. He's probably headed for the launch
ceremony, don't you think?
Copy !req
41. What's with you, Captain Global?
You have a hangover or something?
Copy !req
42. The citizens are out here to celebrate
the launch of your ship.
Copy !req
43. Why don't you try showing
some appreciation?
Copy !req
44. Huh?
Copy !req
45. Oh! 1st Lieutenant Hayase!
Copy !req
46. It looks like the captain has
reached the stage.
Copy !req
47. There's still fifteen minutes until
the ceremony starts.
Copy !req
48. We might just make it.
Copy !req
49. I wonder what the captain has
been doing this whole time?
Copy !req
50. He was probably out partying,
don't you think?
Copy !req
51. He left last night saying something about
the Earth Defense Committee.
Copy !req
52. That sly old fox!
Copy !req
53. Not that you would do anything like that.
Copy !req
54. Oh? Whatever do you mean?
Not that you would do anything like that.
Copy !req
55. Oh? Whatever do you mean?
Copy !req
56. You and Major Focker came home
together this morning.
Copy !req
57. He's quite the celebrity, you know.
Copy !req
58. Getting home late won't affect my performance.
Copy !req
59. You may be fine, but the major has to
fly escort for the Macross later!
Getting home late won't affect my performance.
Copy !req
60. You may be fine, but the major has to
fly escort for the Macross later!
Copy !req
61. Oh, that man can drink all night
and it won't even faze him.
Copy !req
62. He always brags about shooting down five
fighters in the Unification Wars while hung over.
Copy !req
63. Even so, if something were to happen...
Copy !req
64. He'll be fine! I guarantee it!
Even so, if something were to happen...
Copy !req
65. He'll be fine! I guarantee it!
Copy !req
66. Or perhaps you'd like to take him off my hands!
Copy !req
67. You can have him! He's all yours!
Copy !req
68. Wow! Even our 1st Lieutenant
is interested in men!
Copy !req
69. I had no idea!
Copy !req
70. What a terrible thing to say!
Copy !req
71. To think, 1st Lieutenant Hayase, the top
graduate from the academy, is...
Copy !req
72. Why, you!
Copy !req
73. Look! The screen's picked up something.
Why, you!
Copy !req
74. Look! The screen's picked up something.
Copy !req
75. Small craft approaching on heading 1057,
please state your affiliation, over.
Copy !req
76. This is Hikaru Ichijo, invitation
number 1021. Over.
Copy !req
77. Confirmed. You were invited
by Major Focker, I see.
Copy !req
78. Please proceed along heading 1069, over.
Copy !req
79. Roger!
Copy !req
80. We will now present an aerobatics
demonstration performed by
Copy !req
81. the newest, most powerful of
The Valkyrie!
Copy !req
82. Commentary will be provided by Major Roy
Focker, ace pilot of the Unification Wars!
Copy !req
83. Please keep your eyes on planes 2 and 4.
Copy !req
84. They will pass each other at 950 km/h,
only 20 meters above the ground!
Copy !req
85. What's more, the two planes will be
just a few meters apart!
Copy !req
86. Hikaru! Get the hell outta there!
Copy !req
87. I know that voice... Sempai!
Copy !req
88. It's been a while! How are you?
Copy !req
89. "How are you?" You ass!
Copy !req
90. Hikaru! What's the big idea,
puttering around up there?
Copy !req
91. Huh? That's pretty cold, considering you were
the one who sent me the invitation!
Copy !req
92. Nobody asked you to come buzzing in
here in a propeller plane!
Copy !req
93. It's perfectly safe.
Copy !req
94. Cut the crap! Besides, you could never keep
up with me, so don't go talking all big!
Copy !req
95. I won't be in your shadow forever, Sempai.
Copy !req
96. What?
Copy !req
97. That idiot!
