MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] Macross 7, an emigration fleet
traveling the galaxy,
is a fleet where humans
and the alien Zentradi live in harmony.
The Zentradi, who are a race of giants,
have used Miclone technology
to become human sized.
MICLONIZATION
CITY 7
Milia, the mayor of City 7, is a Zentradi
who went through miclonization.
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
BATTLE 7 CAPTAIN,
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
And since Maximilian, the
captain of Battle 7, is a human,
their daughter Mylene has a mixed heritage
belonging to both races.
MYLENE F. JENIUS
On a side note, Fire Bomber's drummer
Veffidas is a full-blooded Zentradi.
FIRE BOMBER
VEFFIDAS FEAZE
And Exsedol,
who acts as an advisor for U.N. Spacy,
isn't even miclonized.
BATTLE 7 BRIDGE
EXSEDOL FOLMO
But nobody knows why he refuses to be.
[typing]
[automated voice]
Blood pressure: 150 over 80.
ES: 128. HBSAG: none.
WBC: 3.5. Hemoglobin: 40.
-Creatinine: 0.8. Turbidity: 4 moles.
-[coughs]
[coughs]
So, the life span
for a miclonized Zentradi
is still unknown.
And Dr. Chiba can't be trusted with this.
[sighs]
So this may be it for me.
WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE?
[Fire Bomber playing instruments]
Hey, what are you doing?
[Mylene] What?
What do you mean, "What?"
Do you know what you just did?
Of course.
I just made a little mistake, that's all.
But
And I covered for the mistake.
Covering it up doesn't make it okay!
Okay, let's dial it down a little.
Seriously, you're always nagging me.
Whoa, it's already this late?
[footsteps departing]
[Ray] Mylene, you have to go?
[Mylene] Yeah, sorry.
See you tomorrow.
-[footsteps depart]
-[door opens, closes]
What's with her?
[server] Here's your order.
Please enjoy.
So, you wanted to talk?
Get married.
[chokes]
Married?
[patron] What?
Uh
What's this all of a sudden?
Why do you want me
to get married to Gamlin now?
No, to Basara.
To Basara?
[patron 2] Why's she shouting?
You've no objections to that, right?
Wait a minute. What's brought this on?
Why not? It's a fine idea.
[Mylene] What about Gamlin?
[Milia] What about Capt. Gamlin?
[Mylene] You're the one who set
me up with him, Mom!
[Milia] Oh, right.
Seriously, you recommended him, and now
Gamlin's the serious type,
but
"But?"
Career-driven men
don't make good husbands.
They do whatever they please,
and never focus on family.
I learned that much from Max.
Dad?
Yes, I of all people should know.
Military men are just no good.
So, your marriage was a failure?
That goes without saying.
But unlike career-driven types,
Basara is untamed!
Why bring Basara into this
all of a sudden?
[Milia] That man is wild.
He's bound to make it big.
He's doing what he loves,
and shining like a star.
Fantastic, right?
He must be popular with the girls,
I tell you.
If you want to marry him, now is the time.
-You're in love with him, right?
-[chokes]
So, just marry him.
It's not your decision.
Oh, you're right. We need his input.
I'll go ask Basara
about his feelings on the matter.
Mom!
Hey! Mom, you will absolutely not do that!
[Mylene] I'm telling you,
you never know what Mom will do
when she gets an idea in her head.
Right.
So, you've got to keep her
away from Basara, okay?
But what if she tries to set up a meeting?
Then you stop her by force if you have to!
Right.
[controller] Area F035, check.
Continuing patrol.
[Mylene] Hey, Dad.
I need a favor.
[Max] What is it?
It's about Mom.
Milia?
Look, Mylene, it's not that
I don't care for your mother,
it's just that we can't
No! That's not it!
Marriage?
Yeah, it's ridiculous, right?
[Max] Of course it is!
There's no need to rush things.
[Mylene] Right? Can you try to
convince her for me?
Sure.
This whole thing's such a pain.
So, Mylene, which one of them do you like?
What?
Basara or Gamlin?
Who cares which one?
What an absurd thing to ask.
Whether I like Basara or Gamlin
-Right, Gubaba?
-[Gubaba squeaks]
[Milia] He's an ace pilot
in U.N. Spacy's Diamond Force.
Lt. Gamlin Kizaki.
Mylene, I want you to go on
a matchmaking date with Gamlin.
-[Gubaba squeaks]
-A matchmaking date?
How do you do?
I'm Mylene Jenius.
Well, that sure turned out
to be a wild matchmaking date.
Yeah, really.
[both laugh]
Come to think of it, the way
I met Gamlin was pretty weird.
[Gubaba squeaks]
But the way I met Basara was even weirder.
[singer] WE'RE ROLLING ON ♪
WE SAY "SO LONG" ♪
I'm in luck! It's just started!
DARLING, I LOVE YOU ♪
She's fabulous.
-Right?
-What?
This feeling. Don't you get it?
Don't you love it?
[singer continues singing]
I wanna be
just like Alice Holiday someday.
Hey, what are you doing?
Stop it, okay?
-Cut it out
-Do you mind?
-[grunts]
-Uh
[Gubaba squeaks]
Guba.
[Mylene sighs]
[Basara] Here.
Whoa,
that's pretty good.
I'm sorry about this.
It's all Gubaba's fault.
-Gubaba's fault?
-[Gubaba squeaks]
Do you really have to
blame it on the little guy?
But Gubaba
-Whatever, man.
-Oh, the shirt.
The stain won't come off,
so I'm sending it to the cleaners.
-It's fine.
-I insist.
-It's fine.
-But Gubaba
He's got nothing to do with this!
[gasps]
If you hadn't pulled so hard
Is this Gubaba's fault, too?
Bye, Gubaba. Don't worry about it.
[Gubaba squeaks]
[footsteps depart]
What's with him?
He didn't have to be so rude!
[Ray] Thanks for coming.
I don't see the point in trying anymore.
Let's just be a trio.
Come on, man.
We need a bass player, right?
We're supposed to be a rock band.
But we can't just get anybody, either.
-Well, yeah.
-[knocks on door]
Yes?
[Mylene] I saw that
Fire Bomber's auditioning members.
Come in. Door's not locked.
Thank goodness,
I thought I came to the wrong place What?
What?
Something wrong?
No
Surprised by how messy this place is?
No.
[chuckles]
[playing bass guitar]
Well
[Ray] What?
I I'd like to do vocals, as well. May I?
Yeah, no problem.
-How about we play along on the guitar?
-What?
[Fire Bomber playing instruments]
NO MORE WASTIN' LOVE ♪
Don't you waste love ♪
There must be someone
Who has eyes only for you ♪
HEY, EVERYBODY ♪
Follow your heart ♪
Let's shout it out loud ♪
JUMPIN' ON THE PLANET DANCE ♪
[music stops]
Well
Basara.
You're the leader, Ray.
I'll leave it up to you.
But, I kinda like Gubaba, though.
[door closes]
[Ray] That's his way of saying welcome.
What?
Welcome to the band.
Right.
Who would've thought
things would turn out like this?
-[Gubaba squeaks]
-[phone rings]
[phone beeps]
Yes, hello?
Oh, Michael, it's just you.
What? But I told you to stop her!
So, what's this about?
How about you marry my daughter Mylene?
What?
She may not look it,
but she's actually a very thoughtful girl.
And she really understands you
when it comes to music.
Plus, she's kind and a good cook.
Don't forget modest, like me.
What else could you want?
You'd make a great couple.
I'm all for it!
And I'm sure Max will approve as well.
You should get married right now!
Wait just a minute!
Oh, is something wrong?
Why do I have get hitched to a kid?
[Milia] Oh, my. You say she's a kid?
Give her a few years,
and she'll be very sexy.
Because she's built just like me.
Come now, Basara. Just say yes.
You'd be the power couple of Macross 7!
[sighs]
[Mylene panting]
Mom, seriously?
Sorry.
Gamlin!
Miss Mylene
-We need to talk.
-What?
You see, Mayor Milia tried to
set me up with someone
What?
[Milia] This is Capt. Gamlin
of Diamond Force.
Brave and honorable, and a candidate
for becoming the next commander-in-chief.
This is Miss Miho Miho, bridge operator.
The flower of the bridge,
an idol to all our pilots!
You've talked often on comms, I'm sure?
Oh, that's mostly just work
That's why I thought
a private lunch like this would be nice.
I mean, you're both single, after all.
Really, kids these days are so reserved.
-Miss Miho.
-Yes, ma'am!
Don't you worry about
being older than him, all right?
Marrying older women
is all the rage among men these days.
[giggles] Yes.
Marriage is such a wonderful thing.
It's a whole new spectrum of life.
I've always thought you two
would make a great couple.
[Gamlin] That's what happened.
Seriously, what is Mom thinking?
So, I kind of wanted
to confirm your feelings, Miss Mylene.
What?
Well
I thought maybe you didn't
want to see me anymore, so you
No!
Of course that's not true.
Really?
Mom's just acting weird.
Did you hear?
Miho went on a matchmaking date.
I heard it was with
Capt. Docker of Emerald Force.
No, it was with
Capt. Gamlin of Diamond Force.
What? I'm so shocked!
I had a crush on him, too.
That's odd,
I heard it was with Captain Maximilian.
That would be an even bigger shock.
[person 1] Hey, what if it's really
with Mr. Exsedol?
-Oh, that poor girl.
-[all laugh]
[automated voice] Captain on the bridge.
[all scream]
[grunts]
[sighs]
Okay, I've settled things with Gamlin.
Now all I have to do is wait
for the two of them to get married.
[coughing]
Assuming this body of mine
can hold out until then.
Oh, right!
There's still something I have to do!
Captain! Mayor Milia has
gone outside in her Valkyrie.
What? Enemies?
Negative, sir. No enemies detected.
What's going on?
Captain, someone has taken
a backup Sound Booster!
-I know who did it.
-[Chiba] What?
I am grateful for my memories,
the days of my youth,
and my life.
To Macross 7,
and to everyone in the galaxy,
I sing to you with love and gratitude.

And storms do come, too
But ♪
Seriously, Mom.
[chuckles] She's pretty good.
What?
She came to me saying she's feeling ill.
Milia did?
[Chiba] Yes.
She seemed convinced
that it's due to miclonization,
demanding to see the medical
records of miclonized Zentradi.
She was very persistent.
Miclonization is affecting her body?
No. No such effects
have ever been reported.
But she's convinced
that her life span's been cut short.
So, what's Milia's diagnosis?
A case of Galactic GXT virus.
What's that?
[Chiba] The common cold, sir.
