[narrator] In the year 2009,
the human race
made first contact with aliens.
Pushed into a war in space
with this army of giants
known as the Zentradi,
Earth was brought
to the brink of destruction.
March 2010. The war ends.
That April, the New U.N. Government
was established,
ushering in a new era
of peaceful coexistence
between humanity and the Zentradi.
Zentradi who wished to reduce themselves
to human size were able to,
via a process called "miclonization."
September 2011.
The New U.N. Government
devises the Humanity Emigration Plan
with the purpose of
preserving the human race.
September 2012. The first
Super Long-Range Emigration Fleet,
the Megaroad-01, is launched.
September 2030.
The first New Macross Class
emigration ship is launched.
Dwarfing its Megaroad predecessors,
this new class can carry
one million people.
In 2038, the Seventh New
Macross Class Ship and flagship
to the 37th Super Long-Range
Emigration Fleet, Macross 7, is launched.
Its destination: the Galactic Core.
The year is now 2045.

FIRST CONTAC
[Mylene] Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry for the wait, Ray.
I'm just about to leave.
-And where are you going, young lady?
-M-Mom?
[Milia] Switch to video this instant!
You don't need to shout.
Look at you! Walking around
with barely anything on!
What? You're the one
that said to switch to video!
[sighs]
Mylene. Mylene!
Mylene, turn that music down!
I can't do everything all at once, okay?
Mylene, I've been thinking.
If you really want to be
in that rock band so much,
-I'll allow it.
-What?
-Really?
-Really.
I can even get you some bookings, as well.
-Really?
-Really.
That's great! Mom, you're the best!
On one condition.
Huh. I knew it.
Have a look at this.
[device beeps]
Who's this?
He's an ace pilot
in U.N. Spacy's Diamond Force.
First Lt. Gamlin Kizaki.
I got it, Mom. You want me
to assassinate him, right?
Well, yes. Shoot him through the heart.
Huh?
Mylene, I want you to go on
a matchmaking date with Gamlin.
What?
-A matchmaking date?
-[mews]
[computer beeping]
Basara Nekki
So, he really is just a civilian.
But how did he get his hands
on a state-of-the-art VF-19?
Level 12 security clearance?
Maybe info on its registration
and rollout date would be
[beeping]
-What?
-[automated voice] Warning!
In accordance with Regulation 1345, any
further attempt to access this information
will result in the deletion
of all data from this terminal.
Ridiculous. I'm only checking
basic information on his Valkyrie!
Access denied. Access denied.
[whistling]
Basara Nekki, I will find out who you are.
[Milia, over comms] Be home by 2:00 p.m.
tomorrow. No matter what.
But, Mom, I'm not interested.
Don't you think it's a bit early for a kid
like me to be thinking of marriage?
Oh? But aren't you always telling me
not to treat you like a child?
No! That's not the same
2:00 p.m. tomorrow, understand?
I'll be waiting, Mylene.
Hey! Wait!
Oh, right. I've sent you a dress
to wear tomorrow.
It should arrive soon. Bye now.
[gasps]
Oh, jeez!
What the heck! [grunts]
She's always meddling!
Oh, crap! I'll be late for the concert!
-[crashes]
-[grunts]
Oh, sorry! I'm in a rush,
so just leave it inside, okay?
[Basara] When you're scared ♪
By the sound of pouring rain ♪
I'll strum my guitar ♪
And calm your heart ♪
[music continues]
-Basara! Slider number 52!
-Huh? Fifty-two?
I want you to feel it ♪
[device beeps]
-Yo.
-Ray.
We're about to meet up with Mylene,
so we're all waiting on you
[sighs] Yeah, almost there.
Oh, good. We'll be waiting, then.
Got it.
[commander] We've increased
the power output by 20%,
but it'll be harder to control.
That's okay.
We're good at breaking 'em in.
Captain Kinryu, the captain's
signed off on the test flight.
All right then, let's take 'em for a spin.
[both] Roger!
They call that taking them for a spin?

D2 to D1.
Do you have visual on the civilian vehicle
on Milky Road 77?
[commander, over comms]
Why are you asking, Gamlin?
That civilian craft
looks like the latest MM model,
but its max speed
and burn ratio don't add up.
Maybe it's been modified?
Physica, never forget,
a good pilot takes
all possibilities into account.
All right, run a database check.
Roger.
[computer beeps]
[commander] Any hits?
[gasps]
Heh, just as I thought.
Sending it through now.
If it comes up as an MM15D,
there shouldn't be any problem, right?
What the?
-MM18? 17 15 What is this?
-[computer beeping]
A clever disguise.
The only possible explanations
are military intelligence,
a civilian prototype, or maybe
Enemy infiltrators.
Possibly.
Commander, permission
to continue surveillance.
Okay, granted.
Physica, let's head back
and check those test results.
[Physica, over comms] Roger.
[gasps]
D2 to D1.
Unregistered civilian craft lost.
[over comms] It may have entered that ship
up ahead. Requesting permission to pursue.
This is D1. That is beyond
our mission parameters.
Return to ship.
[Gamlin] But, Commander!
[commander] We're sending
an investigation team right over,
so for now come on back and enjoy
that leave of yours that starts tomorrow.
Commander, my leave actually
starts at 1900 hours today.
Meaning that it starts in an hour.
Your point being?
Sir, I'm free to do what I want off duty,
so let me continue the investigation.
But
When the investigation team gets here,
I'll hand things over to them.
Just let me continue until then.
[commander] All right, permission granted.
Sometimes I think
you enjoy your job too much.
Thank you, sir.
What do you think, Captain?
Well, it can't hurt.

Becomes a mysterious force ♪
So catch me, come on ♪

-[music continues in distance]
-This is D2.
Unable to locate target vehicle.
Inform the investigation team to search
the surrounding area when they arrive.
[commander] Roger that.
Guess I'll head back.
[gasps]
[grunts]
There's no mistaking it.
It's his Valkyrie!
That means Basara Nekki is on this ship.
This is D2 Gamlin.
Going on leave starting now.
[concierge] Pamphlets available here.
-[Gamlin] I'll take one.
-Yes, sir.
So hold me, come on ♪
I'm like a green banana ♪

Basara, what's with you today?
What do you mean?
You messed up the intro.
That's not like you.
You think so?
[gasps]
Come to think of it,
you're not your usual intense self today.
You don't say.
Hey, I'm just concerned about you.
-Yeah, yeah, thanks.
-[gasps]
[Gamlin] Excuse me.
Is this seat empty?
Probably.
I don't want to sleep just yet
You know? ♪
[device beeps]
[gasps, grunts]
-[music fades]
-[audience applauding]
[device beeps]
-Excuse me, is it over already?
-[audience chattering]
No, they're changing bands.
You don't listen to much rock, do you?
That's not true.
I've had to listen to it a few times.
Practically forced to
Huh.
U-Um Has Fire Bomber already performed?
Yeah, finished a long time ago.
They sucked.
Oh, I see.
What are you guys talking about?
I think the guy behind me
is a fan of ours.
-Then maybe give him an autograph?
-Huh.
[rock music playing]
[device beeps]
Ah, Ulzana's Raid.
Th-They're pretty good.
Yeah, they ain't bad.
[device whirs]
[music stops abruptly]
[audience clamors]
[instruments clatter]
-There!
-[fan] What is it?
-There's a vampire back there!
-[audience gasps]
What?
Hey! What's wrong? You okay?
[Gamlin] Same symptoms as Docker!
What happened here?
Lock this ship down, right now!
Huh?
There are enemy agents aboard.
-[Gubaba mews]
-That's Mister Gamlin.
Tell everyone to stay where they are!
[Mylene] What's he doing here?
What's the situation? [gasps]
I lost him.
Y-You're Basara Nekki.
I'll go this way.
Wait! Basara Nekki,
I want to ask you something.
What?
What's your involvement with the military?
Huh?
I said, what's your involvement
with the military?
-I don't know what you're talking about!
-W-Wait!
-[explosion]
-[gasps]
-[siren blaring]
-An enemy attack?
[audience clamoring]
[laughs]
No need to wait for
Gepelnitchi's plan to bear fruit.
The samples' fear-enhanced Spiritia
is all mine for the taking!
Please stay calm!
There's room on board for everyone!
Get number 14 and above ready!
Please step back for your own safety!
[Gigil] Calling all fighters.
A to G are to press the attack
on the ship.
V to Z will go after the escape pods.
Commander Gigil.
We've detected the infiltration team's
signal inside the target spacecraft.
Consider it collateral!
-Press the attack!
-Yes, sir!
Tell me your unit and rank!
What the hell are you talking about?
What unit are you from?
Fire Bomber! The rock band!
Then why do you fly into combat?
Get off my back!
It's none of your business!
None of my business?
What do you mean, none of my business?
Hey! Are you listening?
I'm testing what my music can do!
Wh-What kind of nonsense is that?
See ya!
D-Damn it!
