When I look up at the purple panorama ♪
The galactic highway ♪
A SHOOTING STAR pierces my heart ♪
When I match my quickening heartbeat ♪
To the sleepless city ♪
Praying to an uncertain tomorrow ♪
I hear that melody ♪
A mysterious voice
That won't let me go ♪
Tell me, SEVENTH MOON ♪
Where are you taking me ♪
And this troubled heart of mine? ♪
Palely shimmering, SEVENTH MOON ♪
I'm just looking for an answer ♪
In the rhythm
With this crazy dance of mine ♪
[music stops]
[Ray] Previously on Macross 7.
War is senseless. Listen to my song!
-LET'S GO ♪
-[pilot screams]
Straight on through to the daybreak
We dreamt of ♪
Captain! That weapon, what is it?
Facing death increases their Spiritia.
[groans]
[Basara]
MAYBE things will turn out fine ♪
As long as we have love ♪
[doctor] Their vitals have fallen to
practically the verge of death.
It's as if they've lost the will to live.
-[Basara] It's so easy
-IT'S SO EASY
To intertwine our two hearts ♪
Enhancement through fear confirmed.
[Basara] Go with burning passion ♪
Gigil.
I want you to retrieve the Spiritia
samples the infiltration team collected.
Damn it, Gepelnitchi!
I'm not your errand boy!
[screams]
Bobby!
Spiritia collection complete.
Ceasing extraction.
We have always sucked
our prey dry of their Spiritia.
Why then do we not make
a full-on assault this time?
Light up the stardust, UM BABY ♪
[Gepelnitchi] I've had a dream of late.
A dream about acquiring Spiritia
freely without having to find prey.
[no audible dialogue]
[vampire] Spiritia level at 20, 25.
Recovering steadily
-[device beeps]
-Fifty. Fifty-two. Fifty-five.
We confirm. Sample GL9 is of a species
that can recover from loss of Spiritia.
It's possible.
The Spiritia Farm Project.

[screams]
-Gubaba! Gubaba!

[gasps]
[screams]
[mews]
This tsumugi kimono is nice and all,
but it's just not made for driving.
SPIRITIA FARM
[music stops abruptly]
[guitar playing]
Hey, about yesterday's song.
I tried rearranging it
from the fifth measure on.
What's with the outfit?
[giggles]
Nice, isn't it? What do you think?
Don't try too hard or you'll fall.
What are you getting at?
That outfit's not good
for thrashing around.
I'm not planning to thrash around!
Is that so?
Jeez
Ray, see you later.
[Ray] Oh, all right.
[Basara] You're not here to practice?
I have a date!
I see. Well, don't try too hard.
[huffs]
I'm not trying too hard!
[sighs]
[door opens, closes]
["Because What's There
Is The Future" playing]
Navigating through the barrier of time ♪
[classical music playing]
-[Mylene] Sorry for keeping you waiting.
-[sighs] Not at all. Please, take a seat.
["Because What's There
Is The Future" continues]
A shadow of emptiness crosses my path ♪
Miss Mylene has just arrived.
She looks very nice in the kimono.
It's hard to believe
she's in a rock band
-[Michael] That's irrelevant.
-Oh.
-Don't take your eyes off her.
-Yes, sir.
Takes the tingle of love
Away somewhere ♪
[classical music continues]
-Wow
-What?
I mean You're very lady-like.
You're too kind. [gasps]
So different from
one of those uncultured girls.
Oh, really?
Yes.
So, Miss Mylene, do you like singing?
What? Singing?
Well, like singing in public and such
Uh
I like karaoke. I go all the time.
You do? Well, of course you do. [laughs]
That's right. [laughs]
-Oh, Miss Mylene!
-Huh?
[gasps]
-Oh, my gosh!
-[Gubaba mews]
-Gubaba!
-Gubaba?
Oh, this is Gubaba. We're always together.
Gubaba
It's okay, Gubaba.
My dad gave him to me.
A souvenir from a planet
in the Pukilases system.
I see.
-We're kindred spirits. Isn't he adorable?
-[Gubaba mews]
Um, yes. Very
[sighs] Better wash this off
or it'll stain.
Excuse me a minute.
Yes
[water running]
-Jeez, I hope this comes out.
-[Gubaba shrieks]
Huh?
[gasps]
[sighs]
[shrieks]
[mews]
-[siren wailing]
-[officer] Please back away.
I'm sorry, but please stay outside.
I can't imagine her leaving
without her pet.
A kidnapping, huh?
We found someone who might be a witness.
So, it really is a kidnapping?
Yes. I don't have the details,
but Miss Mylene seems
to have been kidnapped by someone.
Imbecile! Why did you think
I sent you there?
Enough excuses! Find her at all costs!
My sincerest apologies.
This is all my fault.
It would seem that someone
has abducted Miss Mylene.
What did you say?
[sighs]
I shouldn't have had you
accompany me here.
It doesn't matter,
just go join the search for Mylene!
If something happens to Mylene,
you'll feel my wrath!
Yes! Understood!
Thank you for your patience.
We are ready to proceed. This way, please.
What is it?
They're saying
that Mylene's been kidnapped.
[gasps] What?
[agent] Then there's Caldas Karding.
Age 29.
He went missing
while driving alone at night.
His car was found
abandoned in a service area.
Hmm.
We've had over 20 more
missing persons cases
of the same kind just this week alone.
The only logical explanation is
they've been abducted by someone.
That's an unusual amount
I think it's safe to say they weren't
taken for ransom, but by the enemy.
If that's true, the enemy's
behavioral pattern has definitely changed.
They're taking the people themselves now.
By the way,
I'm not sure if it's just coincidence,
but Gena Bridman of Macross 7
Engineering Section C
and Fredrick Borne of Section E
are among the missing.
Hmm.
Aside from these two, are there any
similarities between the other victims?
No, none whatsoever.
Anyhow, the only thing to do now is form
a special task force and search for them!
About Mylene
I'll have a team within the task force
assigned to her search.
-You don't have to worry about a thing.
-[grunts]
I'll be damned if I let them
take her from City 7!
And that was the analysis report
on the Spiritia sample.
[soldier] If we can capture samples,
we can have unlimited Spiritia.
The operation has entered the next phase.
[chuckles]
The Spiritia Farm Project.
[soldier] From now on,
the plan will be to capture the samples.
The time has come
for my dream to be fulfilled.
[rock music playing]
Hey! Where have you people
taken Miss Mylene?
Huh?
It's no use keeping it from me!
Miss Mylene's been kidnapped!
There's no way you're not involved!
[music stops abruptly]
[grunts] Hey, wait!
[grunts]
-You're fixing that!
-[groans]
You damn Ouch
[Basara] Ray, what'd they say?
Evidently, she was taken
while on her date.
Only Gubaba was found
unconscious at the scene.
Gubaba, that must've been rough.
Come to think of it,
her date must be pretty damn incompetent.
What the hell was he doing?
[pants]
[Gamlin] It seems that there was
a suspicious truck
parked at this cargo entrance.
[detective] Huh? And you are?
Oh My date was kidnapped.
So you're the boyfriend
who's eager to investigate?
-And what's this about a suspicious truck?
-Oh, right.
This part of town isn't
on the truck's regular route.
Yo! We got witness accounts of a truck
leaving this scene
around the same time as the kidnapping.
That must be it.
Okay, let's go!
We need to follow the trail of that truck!
All right!
[shrieks]
She's over there?
Hey, what's going on?
-He knows where Mylene is.
-Huh?
[ringing]
Ray, come on!
Okay.
Okay, Gubaba, it's up to you now.
Yo, Gubaba, which way? Left? Straight?
[ringing, mews]
Okay, this way.
Captain Max!
We just got word of another
missing persons case.
Mmm.
Robert Moirice, Fold Section B.
Fold Was he on duty?
No, he was off.
They may intend to cripple
Macross 7 itself.
Then they should've kidnapped me!
[grunts]
So she's somewhere around here.
It's going to be hard
to search these one by one.
-Hey! What are you people doing here?
-[Basara] Huh?
What is it?
We found some suspicious people
hanging about.
Basara Nekki You!
What?
-Why are you here?
-Who the hell are you?
Do you know these people?
Yeah, more than I would like.
Leave them to me. You go after that truck!
Right.
That truck must be hidden here somewhere.
-Let's split up and search the area.
-[agent] Okay!
Why?
Why are you always in my way?
This ain't about you.
We're just looking for a girl we know.
You're a fighter pilot.
Why are you with those investigators?
I'm looking for Miss Mylene.
-Mylene?
-[Gubaba mews]
So, you're the one Mylene was seeing!
Gubaba?
What are you doing, man?
You can't even protect your date?
[grunts] Why are all of you
looking for Miss Mylene, then?
And why do you have Gubaba?
None of your business.
Yes, it is!
She's a member of our band, okay?
[gasps] Miss Mylene is?
You didn't even know that? Sheesh.
Wait! I'll be the one to find Miss Mylene!
You can look all you want,
but you won't find her.
[grunts]
[soldier] Lord Gepelnitchi,
a message from infiltration team GL4.
Mission is proceeding to plan.
Awaiting extraction.
All right.
-Gigil, you are to deploy.
-Understood!
[drums playing]
Okay! Let's get it on!
Yeah!
["Planet dance" playing]
What are you people trying to do?
Sing, of course!
This is no time to put on a concert!
This place is too big to search.
Mylene's a member of Fire Bomber.
If our song can reach her, she'll answer!
If your song can reach her?
You wouldn't understand.

Good, we're all here.
