Who are your people? What is your purpose?
You're arm's tense.
He's working pretty hard at it!
Right. It's jealousy.
You! Wait! 
That's enough!
You'll understand eventually.

Ha! What Spiritia Farm?! We still haven't acquired the samples' living areas!
Commander, we are ready to fold.
Right! All ships attack!
Roger.
Just you wait, Gepernich! I'll harvest a whole lot of spiritia!
The entire Gigil squadron is attacking without permission.
It doesn't matter. Let them be.

The Music Box on the Battlefield

Wow! It's quite a bit different from mom's valkyrie!
Hey! What are you doing up there?
I was just trying it out, and it turned into Gerwalk.
Jeez, look how dirty you made them.
Sorry about that. This valkyrie is really amazing, though. It's the latest
model, isn't it?
Just get off! Don't touch my stuff without asking!
You're so stingy! You could let me use it a little bit! Don't you think,
since the enemy could attack at any time, that I should know how to use this
too?
I don't think so.
Why!?
It doesn't suit you.
Basara, you aren't using it's capabilities! The valkyrie is a fighter, it was
made to destroy the enemy!
That's why it doesn't suit you!
Well then how are you going to protect City Seven?!
Just forget it. Anyway, I won't let you touch it.
Why?!
Nothing will come from shooting at each other.
How are you going to defeat the enemy then?
What's with him?
How about the captive? Have there been any new developments?
No. He's the same as before.
Mayor Mylia, take a look at this?
This is?
The helmet he was wearing.
After analyzing all of its functions, we discovered that this device emits a
signal of a particular frequency.
A particular frequency?
Yes. That frequency makes a form of brainwave control possible. I believe he
was a made into a robot, completely brainwashed by this helmet.
That's why he attacked us, even though we are all humans. The question is,
who brainwashed him?
Nothing on that yet.
Well, I guess we won't find anything out until he snaps out of it.
Mylene, please be safe.
Physica.
Lieutenant.
What are you doing here? What's that?
It's a toy I made between missions.
It's my child's birthday, today so I made it in a hurry, but...
That's right, your wife and child are in City Seven.
Yes. My child turns two, but still doesn't recognize my face.
I'm not the only one praying for the safety of City Seven.
Lieutenant, will we really find City Seven?
Don't worry, we'll find it no matter what.
If, City Seven has already fallen into the hands of the enemy...
They're safe, for certain. Take heart, Physica. You're just tired. Get plenty
of rest, and you'll have a new perspective on things.
Lieutenant.
Tomorrow, the adjustments to the Fold Boosters will be complete. Then we'll
find City Seven and it'll be a day late, but you'll be able to give your
child that present.
That's right.
You don't want your child to remember your tired and worried face.
Sir.
Come in.
Mayor Mylia! It's an emergency! The captive has escaped!
What!?
I'm very sorry. He became violent when we were trying to move him to the
hospital.
What? But he was practically unconscious!
He must have had subconscious reaction to a traumatic past event. He showed
fear of being forcibly transported.
I see. The city police probably will find him right away.
There he is! 
What's going on?
Who knows.
De-fold reaction ahead.
No response to identification code hails. It's the enemy fleet.
I'll switch over to monitors.
So here comes the large fleet... all ships full speed ahead! All troops in
battle-ready positions!
Energy charge complete for main armaments.
All right! Fire all at once!
The main armaments are being aimed.
They don't have to hit! Just blast away and throw them into terror! 
Fire!
The first wave of the attack has been fired. Captain, instructions for the
pin-point shields?
This is just meant to frighten us. Ignore it.
Ignore it?
Don't take your eyes off of the monitor! Take a close look at the movements
of the enemy before they fire the second wave.
Roger.
Ready for the second wave of attack.
What about the enemy's movements?
They are firmly holding their position.
They must have a courageous commander. We'll see how long that lasts.
Proceed at seventy five percent thrust. Prepare counter-attack formation.
Captain, their behavior seems to be not the same as usual.
The counter-attack fleet has reached firing range.
All right. Attack! 
As you see, normally his brain waves show no reaction. However, for some
reason, he reacts when he hears this band's song.
Can you think of a possible explanation?
I can't say for sure at this point. However, his life supporting functions
have shown more activity. It may be possible  to regain his consciousness by
continuing to play this music.
I see. All right. I will ask the members of this band for help. I imagine a
live performance will help him regain consciousness sooner.
Well, I don't know about that.
Based on my experience. I think there's no doubt.
Ha?
Have you forgotten? I am one of the Zentraedi, who went through culture shock
because of a song. 
Okay.
Is it a gig?
Yup. Mom wants us to come over and perform.
Hey, hey. Are we working for that mayor again?
She wants a VIP to hear our music. You don't have any problems if it's a VIP,
do you?
I do have problems. What I'm trying to say is...
Now, now. We shouldn't make an enemy of Mylene's mother. Let's go.
Diamond Force, scramble. Diamond Force, scramble. Diamond Force, scramble.
Catapults, standing by. 
This is Leisa Gurii. They've penetrated the first defense perimeter. Send out
more valkyries.
Roger.
Diamond Force, ready for take off.
Roger. Six seconds to take off.
They have penetrated M18 area.
Diamond Force, taking off.
What's this? You want us to play here?
That's right.
No way! You called us out here saying there was a VIP!
He's looking forward to hearing your music very much.
He's one of the enemy who was captured! Why do we have to play for him?!
You don't get it. We play for him because he's the enemy.
Basara.
They've penetrated the first defense perimeter.
The advance guard ship Blue Notes has been seriously hit. The main gun on the
key left wing ship Athapaska has been damaged.
Send Emerald Thunder to back up Athapaska.
The main enemy fleet is heading for three o'clock.
Where are the valkyries for the area 982?!
The establishment of the second defense perimeter is being delayed. Donzeres
and Rhine 3 will not make it in time.
They've penetrated the second defense perimeter.
We don't have enough valkyries!
It's the enemy! Here they come!
All right. This ship will undergo transformation
Trans..!
..formation!
Quickly contact all relevant personnel!
Roger!
We will finally show them our true force.
I'll show them the way Maximillian Jenius fights!
Battle Seven, preparing for emergency transformation.
The enemy ship is beginning to transform. Prototype mini laser is ready.
Cease the attack. Battleships remain at ready. It's lunch time! I'm going to
eat my fill of the samples' spiritia!
The enemy! Don't let down your guard!
Lieutenant Gamlin, Battle Seven is undergoing transformation!
What?
This is D1 to D-Force! Until Battle Seven has completed transformation we
will continue to assist the counter-attack force.
Group Leader Kinryu!
Physica, the enemy has not yet captured City Seven. You can tell from this
attack.
City Seven is safe. Listen, Physica. If you can get through this battle, you
can see your family.
This is D-3, roger!
Eighty seconds until transformation is complete.
All right. Move the valkyries out of the line of fire of the Macross Cannon.
Fire the Macross Cannon as soon as the transformation is complete.
Wait! There is just under four hundred seconds until Macross Cannon stand-by.
The reactor is not be completely charged. I'm sorry, I had only ever
performed a simulated transformation before.
Fire within two hundred seconds of charging. Eighty percent output of the
reactor gun is enough. 
But captain, the cannon's auto-limiter will be initiated!
Switch over to manual override!
Roger!
I've been waiting for you!
Transformation complete.
The reactor's output is at seventy percent. Auto-limiter is off. One hundred
fifty seconds until Macross Cannon can be fired.
That one hundred fifty seconds will cost us.
There are no abnormalities due to transformation.
This is D-1. D-2, D-3, return to the ship. We are leaving the path of Macross
Cannon's fire.
Roger!
Roger!
Physica!
Physica!
Ready to fire Macross Cannon.
Adjust the target. Aim three points to the right of the enemy ship. 
But that will cause the shot to miss!
It will hit. They will move into that position.
That must be what they call a genius' intuition.
Adjustment complete.
Evacuation of fleet from path of fire confirmed. No, wait. D-1 Gamlin is
still out there.
Gamlin, respond!
Twenty seconds until fire.
Captain!
Don't worry, D-2 will get out in time.
Beginning countdown. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,
one, zero.
Fire Macross Cannon!
What is it?
What is that light? It took out a third of my fleet in an instant!
Where am I?
He's regained consciousness!
You are inside the city of Macross Seven, the thirty seventh fleet of super
distance immigration. First, tell me your name.
I am Irane Hayakawa. Serial number 3540076. My rank is ensign.
What's going on here?
I guess he was human.
But, he's the enemy! He was trying to get us..!
See? Just because they're the enemy, defeating them isn't the only way.
Basara.
Physica.
