[music stops]
After discussing
the matter of the Protodeviln
carefully with the Supreme Commander,
we've decided that Macross 7
is to launch an all-out attack
on the Protodeviln stronghold located
on the fourth planet of Varauta 3198XE
and destroy it.
The use of Reaction Weaponry has
also been authorized for this mission.
Operation Stargazer?
I will personally take command
of the operation.
The chances of coming back alive
are almost nil.
I'll show everyone I can move them.
It's not happy at all.
All right.
If someone has to
sit in your chair on the bridge,
I'll do it.
Mylene, if I make it back alive,
please put this on your left ring finger.
I'm going no matter what!
You silly girl.
If you're going, I want you to wear this.
With these,
you can make it through anything.
We'll hold a wild gig
on their front doorstep!
NIGHTMARISH STRIKE OPERATION
Everyone, in 30 minutes,
our ship the Stargazer
will be folding to Varauta IV's orbit.
Let's go over the mission again.
We will storm the catacombs
described in Lt. Illyna's report,
where the Protodeviln are sealed,
and take them out
with the Reaction Warheads.
That is our mission today,
Operation Stargazer.
Assaulting the target area
is your prime directive,
and speed is of the essence.
You will be split into 12 teams.
Each team will head towards
the target independently.
Keeping in theme with the operation,
the teams will be named after the zodiac.
The code name for the target
will be Polar Star.
Reaching it is your first
and foremost mission.
Even if only one of you gets through,
the warheads must
be detonated inside the base.
-I don't like it.
-Basara.
We don't need bombs!
I'll move their hearts with my song!
We don't have the time!
I cannot authorize it.
We cannot afford to fail this mission.
The fate of Macross 7
and the entire galaxy depends on it.
That's why I want to sing
with all my heart!
[mewing]
I'm here to sing!
Hold on, Basara.
Ray?
Commander Maximilian,
please give Basara a chance to sing!
Knowing Basara, he just might be able
to move the Protodeviln.
Very well.
Sound Force has my permission to use
music instead of Reaction Warheads,
but only if they're the first
to reach Polar Star.
Okay.
Thank you, sir!
[controller] Commander Maximilian,
it's time for the final fold.
I'll be there shortly.
Good luck to you all.
It's almost time, Miss Mylene.
Gamlin!
[mews]
Gamlin, this ring
Don't say anything for now.
We can talk about it after the mission.
[stammers] But if something happens to us
Miss Mylene, that kind of talk
is taboo before going into combat.
Said your goodbyes?
This isn't goodbye.
Diamond Force shall complete
the mission and come back.
Well, first I'll sing to them.
-If you can get there first.
-I will!
I'm not so sure.
-[chuckles] Piece of cake!
-[Gamlin] All right, it's a race, then!
[Basara] You got no chance!
-[Gamlin] We'll see about that!
-[mews]
[alarm blaring]
Gamlin, I'll be the first one there!
Docker, you all right?
-Stop dreaming or you'll crash.
-[Docker scoffs]
We're the first ones to deploy,
Lt. Illyna.
Team Aries is counting on you
to guide us in.
I've been to the fourth planet before.
Just leave it to me!
-Move it, Mylene!
-[alarm blaring]
Why's he in such a rush?
[controller 1] Stargazer will be making
the final fold in 120 seconds.
All teams, stand by
in your Valkyrie cockpits.
All teams, ready for launch.
Drives are charged for final fold.
Adjusting coordinates.
-Mylene.
-Dad.
When the operation begins,
all comms will be cut off.
So, I'm saying this now.
Go sing your heart out.
[gasps]
Roger!
[controller 1] Sixty seconds to operation.
[Mylene] They say rubbing this
can bring happiness.
[gasps]
[sighs]
[controller 1]
Thirty seconds to operation.
OH! MY FRIENDS ♪
Mylene! Don't be slow
out of the gate, okay?
Hey! You're the one who's always late.
Hey, hey,
this isn't like our usual gigs, okay?
You guys need to be more serious.
Our venue is going to be
the enemy's stronghold.
Yeah, so let's make some noise!
-[controller 1] Three, two, one.
-Fire!
-[controller 1] Zero.
-All right. Commence fold!
Commencing fold.
Captain Milia, it's zero hour.
Stealth frigate Stargazer,
final fold confirmed.
Operation Stargazer has begun.
A 0.00001% chance.
All we can do now is pray.
Max will pull it off.
[Milia] You'd all better come back.

the Bluegazer will be initiated.
-Have it ready on the double.
-[controller 1] Aye, aye, sir!
[Docker] Not bad, Gamlin.
[Gamlin] You still got it, Docker.
I have visual. First one into Polar Star!
