1. Surrounded by Zentradi forces,

2. the Macross launches a desperate Daedalus Attack on Britai's ship

3. which allows an invasion force to stream in from the bow,

4. turning the city within the ship's interior into a battlefield.

5. Drop Out

6. Minmay!

7. Come on, men! Crush them in one fell swoop!

8. This time anything goes!

9. What are you men doing?

10. Minmay's in here!

11. "Minmay"? What's that?

12. He said Minmay's here.

13. Those three were telling the truth!

14. I wanna meet Minmay!

15. Silence!

16. And just what are your intentions?

17. Well, we can't damage this place any longer, so...

18. You men too?

19. What's wrong with you all?

20. Hey! Why are you running away?

21. Please forgive us, Sir!

22. You just don't understand how wonderful this place is!

23. Shut up!

24. I don't care what your reasons are, desertion is unacceptable!

25. You'll share the same fate as that guy just now.

26. Is that what you want?

27. Fine! I no longer count you among my men!

28. I'll execute you all!

29. Captain, this is strange! The intruders' ranks are in disarray!

30. What?

31. This is our chance. Send in our reserve air-defense Valkyrie teams!

32. Drive the enemy out!

33. Yes, Sir! Brown, Green and Indigo squadrons, head for the ship's bow!

34. Engage the enemy!

35. This isn't a movie, is it?

36. Skull leader, come in! First Lieutenant Ichijo!

37. Oh, Captain Hayase.

38. "Oh, Captain Hayase"? What's wrong with you?

39. Please send a rescue party to the open-air theater.

40. The open-air theater?

41. Is Kaifun all right?

42. Tell me, who's hurt?

43. First Lieutenant Ichijo! First Lieutenant Ichijo!

44. Kaifun, you idiot!

45. Minmay...

46. Damn it!

47. God damn it!

48. A Minmay doll.

49. So that's what it's like!

50. Lemme see!

51. Me too!

52. And me!

53. It's broken.

54. We... Our comrades did this, to the doll and to this city.

55. Desertion in the face of the enemy?

56. I don't believe it!

57. This must be the enemy's true power.

58. As I thought, the legends...

59. You're saying we should have heeded them?

60. Indeed.

61. Well, it's too late! Abort the mission!

62. Temporarily confine the deserters.

63. And what shall we do with them?

64. I'll leave that to you. Do what you will.

65. You can investigate the power of this "culture" if you like.

66. Thank you, Sir.

67. Culture...

68. What?

69. The deserters will only be temporarily confined?

70. Do they know what will happen if we allow this?

71. Sheesh! The second I get through fighting, they call me in!

72. First Lieutenant Ichijo, reporting!

73. You three!

74. Calm yourself, Lieutenant. They're unarmed.

75. You were one of those prisoners too!

76. Hey! How've you been?

77. What the hell are you talking about? Why are you even here?

78. Captain, may I explain to the lieutenant?

79. Very well.

80. First Lt. Ichijo, these men and twenty-three others wish to defect to our ship.

81. Defect?

82. Get serious! We've been fighting these people!

83. Now some of them waltz up and say they want to defect,

84. and I'm supposed go, "Sure, come on in?" Well, I can't do that!

85. That makes it three to two, I see.

86. Colonel, please wait!

87. First Lieutenant Ichijo, I thought you would understand.

88. If we don't welcome these defectors, they'll have nowhere else to go!

89. Look, I'm just a pilot.

90. We're asking your opinion as someone who's had direct contact with the enemy!

91. All right, please let me have a few words with them.

92. Why do you want to defect?

93. Because we want to live here!

94. Here?

95. You have culture here.

96. And you have Minmay.

97. And Minmay's songs!

98. All right! All right! And Minmay's songs!

99. All right! All right!

100. But how do you know this stuff?

101. We sneaked aboard this ship once before, as spies.

102. And when we went back, we felt sort of sad.

103. These poor beings have known nothing but war.

104. I understand, but aren't these sort of weak reasons to desert?

105. Well, it's also because you're the protoculture.

106. Protoculture? What's that?

107. You're still playing dumb?

108. Even with all the power you have!

109. This would seem to support Hayase's theories.

110. Captain, you're seriously asking us to believe her report?

111. At this point, I'd say it has to be believed.

112. Well, Ichijo, what's your opinion?

113. Sir!

114. Speaking personally, I think it would be all right to accept them.

115. What?

116. That makes it two to three.

117. Lieutenant, you just said we shouldn't accept them, didn't you?

118. I changed my mind.

119. Captain! Why should we listen to the opinion of someone

120. who won't even explain his reasoning?

121. Hold on a minute. Who won't even explain his reasoning?

122. Hold on a minute.

123. First Lieutenant Ichijo, may I ask why you changed your mind?

124. Yes, Sir. As I reported before, these aliens have known only war.

125. I think that when they came aboard the Macross and experienced our culture

126. and how we live our lives, it must have been a huge shock for them.

127. Yeah, we were really surprised.

128. We were amazed by Minmay's singing, and that men and women lived together.

129. And that some of you even oppose war!

130. As we got used to it, we started to enjoy living here more and more.

131. If what they said is true and they really are in awe of how we live aboard the Macross...

132. I don't quite know how to word it, but maybe we could forge a friendship with the aliens.

133. Talk about being overly optimistic!

134. You're saying we should live with these aliens?

135. They may look like us, but don't go saying that we're the same!

136. But being aboard the Macross,

137. they've seen for the first time a way of life that isn't just about war!

138. How can we throw them out now?

139. The emotional argument this time, is it?

140. Captain?

141. What is it?

142. As First Lt. Ichijo said, the Zentradi forces are comprised solely of military organizations;

143. they know nothing besides war.

144. They fight because it's all they know how to do.

145. For them, the only way to end a war is to annihilate their enemy.

146. Which is why we must reject these defectors and take strong...

147. No! It's why we have to teach them there are other things than war!

148. Not everything is about victory or defeat.

149. If we make them see that there's another way to live their lives,

150. I think we'll have opened up the avenue to ending this war!

151. I thank you for your most esteemed opinion, but may I remind you that these are aliens?

152. How do you plan on integrating them into our civilian population?

153. Excuse me.

154. Hey! We're in the middle of an important meeting!

155. It's all right. I asked him here.

156. Well? Do you have the results?

157. Yes, Sir. Here they are.

158. Captain? What is that?

159. We had their blood analyzed.

160. What?

161. Their blood types and genetic makeup are the same as ours!

162. We thought that would be the case, but to actually be proven right...

163. So we really could live together, couldn't we?

164. Because we're the protoculture, eh?

165. Well, we no longer have a reason to treat them as aliens.

166. They must be regarded as normal defectors.

167. Very well, we will accept them.

168. All right!

169. Can a decision this important really be made aboard the Macross?

170. We should ask U.N. Forces HQ for orders!

171. You're out of line, both of you.

172. I'm not feeling well, Sir, so if you'll excuse me.

173. Maistroff...

174. Can't you understand?

175. At this point, we must accept these unusual circumstances.

176. I'm glad I came to see this. It's terrible.

177. I saw it on the monitors, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

178. It's not quite so damaged over here, huh?

179. I always seem to end up coming here.

180. Uncle! Auntie!

181. Oh!

182. Oh, my! Oh!

183. Oh, my!

184. Hey, Hikaru!

185. Where are you going?

186. Where? Well, Kaifun and Minmay haven't come back yet, so...

187. They're at the general hospital.

188. The hospital?

189. They're both hurt?

190. No, Kaifun was the only one hurt.

191. But it's not serious. Minmay just wanted to stay with him.

192. Dear! We shouldn't be wasting time here!

193. We have to get to the hospital!

194. Yeah, but we can't just leave the restaurant.

195. It's all right.

196. We'll watch it while you're gone.

197. Yes...

198. Really? You'd do that?

199. Oh! Thank you so much!

200. C'mon!

201. Right! C'mon!

202. Right!

203. I think that should be enough.

204. Yeah...

205. Hang on, I'll make us some tea.

206. Minmay...

207. Here we go.

208. Go ahead.

209. Ah, thanks.

210. It's funny, isn't it?

211. Ultimately, it's the civilians, the ones who have nothing to do with this war...

212. the ones who looked so powerless in the face of war,

213. who could be the key to ending the conflict.

214. Anyway, don't you want to go to the hospital too?

215. Just admit it. You're worried about Kaifun, right?

216. It's okay. I really was concerned about him,

217. but in all this uproar over the defectors, I completely forgot about him.

218. In the end,

219. this was all because he looked like someone I used to be in love with.

220. But he hates me because I'm a soldier.

221. I even started to doubt the military's way of doing things.

222. Finding someone so opposed to war was such a shock.

223. It was probably like what those defectors felt when they found out about our peaceful lifestyle.

224. When I realized that their arrival may have given us a way to end this war, I suddenly...

225. just lost interest in him.

226. So that's how it goes.

227. Is that strange of me? Anyway, Kaifun has his parents

228. and Minmay too.

229. Have you even told her how you feel?

230. What does that have to do with anything?

231. You haven't, have you?

232. You can't expect her to know how you feel if you don't tell her!

233. Do you want Kaifun to take her away from you?

234. If you don't tell her, you'll regret it later!

235. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lecture you like that.

236. When I see you, I just...

237. First Lieutenant Ichijo, you go on ahead!

238. I'll find someone to watch the restaurant!

239. Roger!

240. Skull Squadron, launch!

241. Spartan Company, stand by at blocks 4 and 8!

242. Kirkland Squadron, move to defend the Prometheus!

243. Captain, hurry up and switch with me, please!

244. Sorry I'm late.

245. I got caught up in traffic. What are we up against?

246. A small force. I think they could be stragglers.

247. Where were they hiding all this time?

248. We may have finally found the answer,

249. but now we have to fight again.

250. Skull leader!

251. Don't push yourself out there.

252. Roger.

253. You sure are polite today.

254. Is that so?

255. Here they come!

256. Sir!

257. You need to watch your six!

258. I guess it's over.

259. Capt. Hayase, please don't tell me we have any more small forces like this headed for us.

260. It doesn't look like it.

261. How long is this going to last?

262. Who can say? War is the only thing our enemies know, right?

263. But we'll have to put an end to this someday.

264. Yes...

265. We have to end it as soon as we can.

266. Captain, please!

267. Please allow me to go to U.N. Forces Headquarters!

268. Let me explain the situation regarding our defectors!

269. Explain? That's all?

270. I'll do my absolute best to make them understand.

271. I may even be able to rely on my father for help.

272. And you can do this without taking those three along as witnesses?

273. Yes, I'll go alone first, then send for them once I've explained things.

274. If I just take them along with me, who knows what could happen?

275. I see.

276. Please let me do this.

277. Please, Captain!

278. Very well, I will leave this to you.

279. We'll ready a shuttle at once.

280. You may leave when ready.

281. Then I'll prepare to leave at once.
