Mylia F. Jenius, Mayor of City 7
Citizens

Macross 7 is a giant immigrant fleet which set out to space in search of
habitable planets. There are other fleets traveling through the galaxy, and
they communicate using the Galactic Network. For some reason, Aksho, an
unregistered ship, has attached itself to City 7. A rock vocalist named Nekki
Basara lives there. He is a reckless man, putting his life on the line
singing at concerts and in battle. People are beginning to wonder if perhaps
there is some tremendous power in his singing.

Sound Force

Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go!
Captain Max. Oh, leisurely watching TV? You're quite confident, aren't you.
Have you found out about the vampires which have infiltrated our ships?
No, I'm still not in a position to give you a satisfactory report.
Well if that isn't just like you. There's no sense in complaining. Let me get
straight to the point. I told you of the fact that a new enemy has
infiltrated City 7. I have sent you visual footage of the enemy. Please make
use of it.
Mayor Mylia, as always, thanks for your cooperation.
And please heighten the level of security.
I don't know... When was it that our conversations became so cold?
A grand celebration was held at City 7's Hoshizora Concert Hall to
commemorate the safe docking to Battle 7. Excited by Fire Bomber's
performance, many young people in the audience fainted. In other news...
Sound Force... so the time has come to try it out.
Yes.
I have already made arrangements with the relevant divisions. Who do you plan
to use as members?
Myself, Basara, and Viffidas. I am thinking about these three. And if
possible, another.
You don't mean..!
No, I plan to leave Mylene, your daughter, out of it. I am looking for a
fourth at this time.
Please do so.
This is an important plan, not just for the Macross fleet but for the safety
of all who would travel through space. Captain, please leave the decision of
which member selection up to me.
All right. In any case I would not be able to make that decision myself. It's
time for a meeting. I would like you to attend.
Yes sir.
As for Major Irane Hayakawa of the investigative unit of the ruins of the
fourth planet, the doctors of City 7 have decided that his mind control was
broken by Fire Bomber's song, but it is still not clear.
The judgement of doctors of City 7 are correct. I believe this. It's Fire
Bomber, the song energy of Nekki Basara, which had some sort of psychological
effect and released him from mind control. 
Lieutenant Chiba, isn't that a bit premature, considering that the removal of
the mind control helmet was the direct cause?
I have data which can prove this. Essentially...
Doctor, leave the detailed explanations until later. I am leaving this
patient in your care. Take care of him in cooperation with the doctors from
City 7. 
Yes sir. I promise to bring him back to normal using sound therapy.
On the next topic, take a look at this visual sent to me from Mayor Mylia.
This is the new enemy which has attacked City 7. This enemy is several times
faster and more powerful than the enemies we have been fighting. Colonel
Kinryu of the Diamond Force was put into a comatose state as a result of this
battle.
It was Nekki Basara's song which defeated this unknown enemy.
We shouldn't decide that too easily. That too, has yet to be determined.
There's no question, he had some sort of effect.
I never imagined that sound force would be realized.
This is a visual which captured the enemy's appearance.
Proto-devlin.
What is it, Advisor Excedor? What is a proto-devlin?
It makes the Zentraedi lose their minds. It must not be spoken of.
Advisor Excedor! What is a proto-devlin? It makes the Zentraedi lose their
minds?
Captain.
What is it?
At about the time that this enemy appeared, many accidents and incidents
occurred within City 7 involving Zentraedi citizens.
What?
Captain, there is a communication from Macross 5. 
From Macross 5?
I will send it through to your monitor.
Earlier today, Macross 5 arrived at a planet located at S1350, N3605. This
planet which we discovered has plentiful natural surroundings, and has a
similar environment to Earth. We have decided to begin settling here.
We have named this beautiful planet 'Lux'. If you would like to replenish
your supplies, please stop by.
Thank you for your kind offer.
By the way, Captain, Fire Bomber's songs are extremely popular here. If the
citizens could hear them live, they would be delighted. Please stop by.
I see.
Sound Force?
With the cooperation of the Unified Army we would all fly out into space in
valkyries and sing. Not just you alone. That's sound force.
The Unified Army, huh?
Yes.
Seems like they're catching on a little. Sounds like fun.
You're all right with that, Viffidas?
What about me?!
Mylene?
You're like a little spy. How long have you been listening?
What about me?
Mylene, you can't go. It's too dangerous.
I'm a member of Fire Bomber too, aren't I? Why am I left out of it?
You're not up to it.
What's dangerous? If I meet the enemy in space, I'll shoot them down!
It's that kind of thinking that keeps you out.
What kind of thinking?
Anyway, you can't come.
Why's that! You're so selfish!
Oh jeez.
What do you mean 'oh jeez'! I can't stand it.
Anima spiritia.
Anima spiritia.
I've been wanting to meet you. Listen to my song!
Ray, let me be a member of Sound Force!
I know how you feel, but we're going to be deeply involved with the Unified
Army, I can't let you join.
Why?
Captain Max and Mayor Mylia would never let you.
But that has nothing to do with this! I'm a member of Fire bomber, aren't I?
Am I in the way? Am I useless? Why, Ray?
I should have never joined Fire Bomber, if this is the way it was going to
be.
Anima spiritia. 

Basara.
Sibil.
What the heck was that?
Basara! Basara? What happened?
Oh, nothing.
Enemy attack?
Hey, Basara! What are you thinking anyway!
You know what I'm thinking.
You're not up to it! They'll kill you!
I'll be okay.
What are you doing
You know what I'm doing.
I won't let you get away with this!
Don't fire missiles. They're stupid. We're going to sing.
What are you talking about? This is the enemy? Are you going too leave them
alone? People are getting hurt down there!
Mylene, this is why you aren't part of Sound Force.
All right then, let's do it. That feels good! So , how's that, all right?
Like you would say, 'Here it goes!'
Spiritia level is rising rapidly. Achieving unprecedented levels, and rising.

I can't believe this!
What is this?
Song gage. It's reading 10,000 Chiba Song units. It's a unit I discovered and
developed to measure song energy.
Captain, the channel through to Mylia won't connect. 
Open all emergency channels. We must have the Mayor's permission to attack.
Captain, Basara's song is recording 10,000 Chiba Song units. Normally, the
maximum is 3,000! 
What are you talking about?
Spiritia gage cannot be controlled. The extremely high readings are causing
abnormalities in the gage's function.
Danger due to abnormal levels of spiritia. Level of danger unknown.
Maybe it's possible.
What?
You.
Ray Lovelock, I appoint you as Leader of the civilian unit Sound Force. I ask
that you serve the Unified Army well.
Yes sir. I would like to introduce the members of Sound Force. Nekki Basara,
advance. Here was here until now. He's a bit shy. Next, Viffidas Feaze!
Mylene Jenius!
Mylene!
Including Nekki Basara, there are four members in Sound Force.
Ray, you said you would leave Mylene out of Sound Force!
Yes, but I changed my mind.
What!?
Captain, you appointed the selection of members to me.
Yes, but Mylene is still a child.
I have been made to realize that Mylene Jenius is essential to Sound Force.
I will now hand out documents of authorization from the Macross 7 Unified
Army.
No way!
I'm not interested in a Sound Force that's bound by the Army! I will sing
when I want to sing, that's my sound. Let's go!
What is this about, Ray!?
They must bee giddy with joy at having been officially recognized as Sound
Force. Ha ha ha...
Bomber!

Next time

Basara, you shouldn't be late for a Sound Force meeting.
Mylene, you shouldn't be late coming in either, play along with my sound!

You're totally off!
Next time, Merry Go Round.
Radically fire!
