1. That thunderbolt which pierced the mighty skies

2. And struck the Earth

3. Was let loose

4. To awaken us, the young mankind

5. Macross! Macross!

6. Even as they protect their loved ones

7. The youths who have bravely taken a stand

8. Will set out on their continuing fight

9. Will you love me tomorrow?

10. Slicing through the darkness they fly toward

11. That blue planet that shines in the distance

12. Macross! Macross!

13. Macross!

14. It has been almost a year since the Macross began its voyage,

15. It has been almost a year since the Macross began its voyage,

16. and we have amassed a great deal of valuable data.

17. I will now report all we've learned to the United Nations Forces.

18. I will now report all we've learned to the United Nations Forces.

19. From the space battleship SDF-1 Macross, U.N. Forces,

20. this is Captain Bruno J. Global.

21. For those on Earth, I think it's hard to know just what befell

22. the Macross and its surroundings on the day of the launch ceremony,

23. and what happened once it and the island both disappeared.

24. It all began with a sudden roar from the Macross's main gun.

25. What's going on?

26. What is it?

27. Look! The ship's original systems have just powered themselves up!

28. Huh?

29. Oh, no! It's switched to firing mode!

30. What's going on?

31. The main cannon is activating!

32. We are currently engaged in hostilities with alien forces.

33. This is not a drill!

34. I repeat, this is not a drill!

35. The directive from the previous day's defense council that we were not to fire first

36. in the event of an alien encounter had most been definitely broken.

37. From what we could gather of the situation,

38. the alien's enemies had left the Macross behind as a clever trap,

39. a booby trap.

40. Through our battle with the enemy's land forces,

41. we confirmed that they were giants, five or six times the size of human beings.

42. This matches earlier estimates made by U.N. Forces Headquarters

43. based on the size of the Macross's interior.

44. We also gained valuable data on the effectiveness of the battroids,

45. which had been built to combat the threat that the giants posed.

46. Meanwhile, we attempted to launch the ship using the gravity control system,

47. but we failed.

48. What in the world is happening?

49. I don't know, Sir!

50. Captain! The bow!

51. What is it?

52. What are those?

53. They appear to be the gravity control systems.

54. The gravity control systems?

55. It can't be!

56. An analysis by our technical crew concluded that the unexpected firing of the main gun

57. had affected all of the ship's components including the fold system.

58. After transporting the Macross and its island base into Pluto's orbit,

59. the fold system vanished, forcing us to make a long voyage home.

60. We quickly docked the Macross

61. with the aircraft carrier Prometheus and the assault ship Daedalus,

62. then brought the base, various facilities from the island,

63. and 50,000-plus refugees still in the shelters aboard the Macross.

64. The civilians used materials from the island to rebuild their city

65. inside the ship's residential area and went about their daily lives.

66. I believe this will provide valuable data for future deep-space voyages.

67. Incidentally, we learned that the disappearance of the fold system

68. cut the energy lines to the main gun, rendering it unusable.

69. Therefore, the ship had to undergo a transformation.

70. Valkyrie squadrons, scramble all units!

71. I repeat, Valkyrie squadrons, scramble all units!

72. We're going to initiate the transformation!

73. The transformation was extremely unpopular with the citizens,

74. but it allowed us to strike back at our enemy.

75. Following that, we were able to modify the process

76. and ensure that later transformations wouldn't cause the same level of damage.

77. Also, for our first counterattack in the rings of Saturn,

78. we used residual energy from the fold system to create the pinpoint barrier.

79. Furthermore, by concentrating the barrier at the bow of the Daedalus,

80. we developed the Daedalus Attack, which has proven effective against the giant enemy ships.

81. Oh, no! I'll never make it!

82. No, don't shoot there!

83. Currently, I am hastening development of a barrier that can cover the entire ship.

84. In the eighth month of our voyage and in need of supplies,

85. we touched down at Mars base Salla,

86. where we were trapped by hidden gravity mines that had been planted by our enemy.

87. Destroid groups 6, 8 and 17 have been destroyed.

88. The rest are heavily damaged.

89. Wait, we may be able to disable this trap after all.

90. But how, if it's underground?

91. The reactor! Salla's reactor is located deep beneath the base!

92. If we can blow it up...

93. One moment, please.

94. It looks like it could work.

95. All right, begin the operation at once!

96. Have Hayase activate the reactor!

97. Yes, Sir!

98. Reactant infusion has reached extreme levels! Danger! Danger!

99. All regulatory systems are in the red! The reactor has begun to overload!

100. Fifteen minutes until detonation!

101. All personnel, evacuate! All personnel, evacuate!

102. By causing the reactor located beneath the base to overload,

103. 1st Lt. Hayase enabled us to escape.

104. The enemy's objective seems to be to capture our ship rather than to destroy it.

105. I believe this is what allowed the Macross to run for so long from an overwhelming enemy force.

106. To celebrate the launch of MBS, the Macross Broadcast System,

107. we present the Miss Macross Contest.

108. Ship-wide civilian broadcasts began,

109. and the Miss Macross contest was held to mark the occasion.

110. Who will make it to the finals and win the crown?

111. The Miss Macross Contest!

112. A queen will be chosen by you!

113. A young girl named Lynn Minmay was crowned Miss Macross.

114. With the Earth in sight, a fleet of enemy ships surrounded us, forcing us to a halt.

115. It was at this time that our enemy subtly changed their tactics.

116. The jamming that had thus far blocked our communications ceased,

117. and we immediately reported our situation to headquarters.

118. However, directly following this...

119. I'm getting a signal, but it isn't from headquarters.

120. Put it on the speakers.

121. Yes, Sir!

122. name of the Zentradi, we order you to surrender your vessel.

123. The recent attack was merely a show of force.

124. If... do not wish to be destroyed, you will surrender immediately.

125. This is from the enemy fleet?

126. receive this demand for surrender...

127. Enough.

128. The enemy's deciphering abilities are exceptional.

129. We mustn't be careless with our communications.

130. When our radar was destroyed,

131. 1st Lt. Misa Hayase went out on a recon patrol in a Cat's Eye.

132. 1st Lt. Hayase, along with 2nd Lt. Ichijo and Corporals Kakizaki and Jenius,

133. were captured and taken all the way to the main Zentradi base for questioning.

134. Following this, they miraculously escaped and were able to tell us the shocking truth.

135. I'll let them explain it in their own words.

136. I am Bodolzaa, Supreme Commander of the Zentradi 118th main fleet.

137. There are some things I wish to ask you.

138. They know our language!

139. What's going on here?

140. My lord, the translation device appears to be working properly.

141. Good. When did you people make contact with the Supervision Army?

142. Supervision Army?

143. You ever heard of that army, boss?

144. I just joined the military myself, so I wouldn't know much about it.

145. Just joined the military?

146. What in the world did you do before that?

147. What do you mean? We were civilians.

148. Civilians?

149. What does "civilian" mean?

150. Someone who doesn't fight in wars.

151. Doesn't fight in wars?

152. Preposterous!

153. The universe is filled with conflict, and it is in battle that one finds life!

154. It's in battle that one finds life...

155. It seems that we need to change our line of questioning.

156. Are there really people aboard your ship who do not fight?

157. And how can your men and women live together?

158. Men and women together? What are you...

159. Kakizaki! Men and women together? What are you...

160. I don't intend to answer any more of your questions!

161. You would seem to be their commander.

162. None of you appreciate the situation you're in.

163. We have the power to destroy your ship and your world in an instant.

164. Take a look at that planet.

165. What have you done?

166. Do you want the same thing to happen to your homeworld?

167. That's...

168. What is it?

169. Something's strange. They have that kind of power,

170. so why haven't they launched an all-out attack on the Macross and the Earth?

171. I will ask you once more: Do these "civilians" really exist?

172. And how can men and women coexist on the same ship?

173. Civilians... Men and women...

174. Maybe we have something that they don't.

175. If you don't answer, I'll destroy your ship and your planet!

176. If you really think you can, then go ahead and try!

177. What did you say?

178. Lieutenant!

179. Let me handle this.

180. We have powers you know nothing about!

181. Silence!

182. Lieutenant!

183. What the hell do you think you're doing?

184. Stay where you are.

185. How soft.

186. To think that fragile miclones like this dare to defy us.

187. Tell me, why did you go through the trouble of becoming a miclone?

188. If you don't tell me why you became a miclone, I'll kill you.

189. Stop it!

190. We were born with these bodies!

191. Born with them?

192. And just where were you "born" from?

193. From our mothers, of course!

194. "Mothers?"

195. Our female parents!

196. From a woman?

197. You're saying you were born from a woman?

198. But how?

199. How? You don't even know that?

200. A man and a woman love each other, and together they make a baby.

201. Love each other? How is this done?

202. Well, they kiss and hold each other, and...

203. And that is how miclones are born?

204. You two, show me this "kissing."

205. Give me a break! We're both guys! We can't do that!

206. If you don't, then I'll crush you too!

207. Wait!

208. I'll do it.

209. You? Very well.

210. 2nd Lieutenant Ichijo, kiss me.

211. This is our chance to see how the enemy reacts!

212. Then do it with Kakizaki!

213. Frankly, you make a much better choice.

214. Still, you can't just say something like that and...

215. Do it now!

216. That's an order! Hurry!

217. Okay, fine!

218. Here goes.

219. I'm sorry, Minmay.

220. Protoculture!

221. "Protoculture?"

222. What's going on?

223. Someone! Take these things away immediately!

224. What could the Zentradi have feared so much?

225. Their bodies are so strong that they can survive for short periods in the vacuum of space,

226. and they have an unbelievably powerful fleet.

227. Enter.

228. I brought you some coffee.

229. Thanks, you're very considerate.

230. Not at all...

231. It's this late already, is it?

232. It's beautiful.

233. I never thought I'd see this sight again.

234. To be honest, neither did I.

235. I guess I can say this now,

236. I had a bad feeling when I was given this ship.

237. A feeling that by launching the Macross,

238. something would happen that would change our...

239. No, that would change humanity forever.

240. Your premonition came true in a way, didn't it?

241. Just what will the Macross mean for us?

242. Captain Global and Misa travel to U.N. Forces Headquarters in Alaska.

243. Meanwhile, Hikaru and Minmay leave the Macross and journey to Yokohama.

244. For both parties, unexpected situations await them at their respective destinations.

245. Next time, on Super Dimension Fortress Macross:

246. "Chinatown"

247. I won't follow anymore

248. The shadow you cast as you run away

249. We all keep running

250. But we still can't see the goal

251. What awaits us after today?

252. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?

253. Even now, I keep running toward

254. The light that shines so far away
