[MAN] Calculations for orbital
fluctuation are complete.

We have lock-in signal, control.

[MAN] Shuttle escort, we are
at T-minus 50 and counting.

Your liftoff is at T-minus ten.

[WOMAN] Escort V-0112,
your gravitational...

Shuttle escort,
prepare for launch window.

[PILOT] Tower control, this is
V-0112. Uh, sorry about that.

Little snafu
with the guidance switch,

if you know what I mean.

[WOMAN]
Watch it next time, Mister!

[MAN] Evacuate launch
area immediately.

[PILOT]
Shuttle to tower control.

All systems online
and awaiting green light.

[MAN]
Roger, shuttle. Standby.

[RICK]
It's amazing.

It's been so long
since I was in deep space

I'm actually homesick for it.

The truth is, just the
importance of the mission alone

was enough to make me volunteer.

Gotta admit, Gloval came up
with a good one this time.

I mean, a wild one!

[MAN on PA]
We are go for liftoff.

Repeat. We are go for liftoff.

[WOMAN] T-minus ten seconds
and counting.

Nine, eight,
seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one.

Escort squadron airborne.

[WOMAN]
Liftoff!

[MAN]
Detach main booster... now.

[GLOVAL]
You are going to rendezvous

with the Zentraedi mother ship.

Only at that time
will you receive

your final instructions.

I have put Commander Breetai
in charge of this mission

for reasons that will
become clear later.

[ZENTRAEDI CONTROLLER]
All personnel in docking zones

D-24 and D-25, attention.

Micronian shuttlecraft
now commencing

final docking procedures
on upper landing bay.

[ZENTRAEDI CONTROLLER]
Welcome aboard, Micronians.

[RICK] Uh, thanks.
It's nice to be here.

The same to you, too.

Well, if you're ready,
let's bring her down.

[NARRATOR]
While receiving a warm welcome

from Breetai and the Zentraedi,

Claudia, Lisa, and the rest
of the SDF-1 crew

wonder why they're
being kept in the dark

about the nature
of their secret mission.

My Micronian friends, welcome.

Greetings and salutations,
Your Lordship.

We are at your service.

It's good seeing you, Exedore.

And it's nice to have you
back on the ship.

[EXEDORE]
Why, uh... thank you, sir.

My friends, I especially
wish to welcome you,

and I am deeply honored
to have you under my command.

It's a great honor, sir,
to have this opportunity.

Thank you. As you may know,
my people are unaccustomed

to contact with beauty
such as yours,

so don't be surprised
at any strange reactions.

Now then, if you'll permit,
I'll show you to your quarters.

[NARRATOR]
What a change this is!

From relentless warlord

to a somewhat
uncomfortable host.

This mission is getting stranger
all the time.

[MAX]
Okay, that's it.

Now bring
the cradle pod down.

[MIRIYA]
Here it comes.

There.

All right.

- -[BABY cooing]
- -[chuckles]

Safe and sound!

Aww.

[BREETAI] Fluctuations from
the satellite factory?

[ZENTRAEDI SOLDIER]
Negative.

Maintaining solar stasis.

Notify me immediately
of any change.

[ZENTRAEDI SOLDIER]
Yes, sir.

Hmm.

Think, Breetai.
Think of a plan.

If we are able to convince Reno
that we have the Protoculture,

we will have little
difficulty in securing

his complete cooperation.

Otherwise, our forces
will be vastly outnumbered.

But we don't possess
any Protoculture.

How do we convince him
that we do, Commander?

Uh, assuming that
we're given the chance?

We'll have our chance.

For now, entering hyperspace is

our immediate concern,
wouldn't you say?

Hey, remember the last time
we were on this ship?

Being a prisoner
wasn't much fun, was it?

I'm sure glad
things have changed.

I don't want to see Breetai
on the other end

of a laser cannon ever again.

Yeah, after serving
under Admiral Gloval,

it'll be interesting to see
what his ex-enemy is like.

I just wish I knew more
about this mission.

Well, besides going
into deep space,

Admiral Gloval asked me
to bring my whole family along.

And that's all
the information I have.

But why in space would he
want you to bring Dana along?

All polarities inside
the reflex furnaces

have become stabilized,
Commander.

All fold computations
are complete, Your Lordship.

[CLAUDIA]
All systems are go, sir.

We can fold any time you like.

Thank you, Commander.

Begin fold operation
immediately.

[MASTER 1]
Yes, I feel it. Let us begin.

[NARRATOR] Somewhere, in the
recesses of another galaxy,

the Robotech Masters
attempt to resurrect

a being in the likeness of Zor.

Zor, who took to his death
the secrets of Protoculture,

secrets still hidden
aboard the rotting carcass

of the SDF-1.

Begin the prion
synthesis immediately.

[SOLDIER]
Yes, Master.

Altering positronic
bombardment.

There is bilateral
cellular inversion.

Now commencing synthesis.

Cranial synapses
are still not responding.

There is the same disintegration
of molecular substructures

as in previous attempts.

Yes, it's happened again.

This time, I think we've taken
the clone from the suspension

before complete maturation.

We must stimulate
life function regardless.

Hmm. I suggest we alter

the prionic bombardment
of the upper strata.

We'll try.

Augmenting prionic bombardment
in increments of four.

Positronic emission
is at maximum capability.

Good. Cellular agitation
is critical.

It is useless.

We are down to the minimum
suspension material.

We cannot waste it.

[MIRIYA] Oh, Max, look.
She's so peaceful.

- -Oh.
- -[MAX] Yeah.

But we'd better keep
our voices down

or she'll wake up.

[LISA] And I held little Dana
the whole afternoon,

and she didn't cry
a bit the entire time!

Sometimes I envy Max and Miriya

for having such
a beautiful little girl.

Mm-hmm.

Well, here we are.
See you in the morning.

Sleep tight, Lisa.
Goodnight.

- -Goodnight.
- -[RICK] Night, Lisa.

Rick, if you have a second,
I'd like you

to wait in my room for me.

There's something I want
to talk to you about.

Uh, but...

May I remind you, Commander,
she's the captain.

But I'm off duty.

- -So is she.
- -Oh.

[CLAUDIA] Now then, Lisa,
what can I do for you?

[LISA] I want to thank you
for that, Claudia.

It helps when
someone understands.

Hmm. Yes.
I know what you mean.

It can be rough sometimes
when you find you're in love.

Uh...

Go get him, okay?

Goodnight, honey.

[sighs]

[groans]

Well...

I hope those two get it
together soon.

[RICK]
Hmm.

Hmm...

Hmm?

Nice-looking couple.

Hmm.

Uh...

- -[LISA] Rick.
- -Huh? Oh, I'm sorry,

- -1 didn't mean to snoop.
- -What do you mean?

Snoop? I have nothing to hide.

Be my guest, look around.

Oh, that's okay. Did you have
a nice talk with Claudia?

Oh sure. It was nothing special,
though, just a little chat.

- -Would you like some tea?
- -[RICK] Uh, yeah.

Tea would be fine, thanks.

That didn't sound much
like a little chat to me.

As a matter of fact,
we were talking about you.

If it concerns me and Minmei,
I don't want to hear about it!

It wasn't at all
about Minmei.

What would I possibly want
to talk about her for?

I'm sorry, Lisa,
but we haven't seen

much of each other
in several months.

Oh, Rick.

I know how you feel
about her, so...

Well, there's nothing
more to talk about.

I don't know why, but I get

the feeling sometimes
that you...

Well, there's something
you want. Hmm?

What? Something I want?

Uh-huh.

What are you talking about?

Oh! Rick, you know what I--

[WOMAN on PA]
Captain Hayes, please report

to the bridge immediately.

- -Captain Hayes to the bridge.
- -[RICK] Huh?

The usual perfect timing.

Well, you've managed
to escape unscathed once again.

Uh...

Goodbye, Rick.

We'll try again another time.

Uh...

Reporting as ordered,
Commander Breetai.

[BREETAI]
Hmm!

[CLAUDIA, LISA]
Hmm?

[CLAUDIA]
What in space is that?

[BREETAI]
That, my dear Commander Grant,

is a ship from
our reconnaissance forces.

A fairly late model,
if I'm not mistaken.

[LISA] But I--I've never seen
anything like it!

[BREETAI]
That is not unlikely.

Give me a status report,
Exedore.

I have made
a positive identification,

and it is, in fact, a late-model
reconnaissance vessel.

It has been somewhat modified
for hyperspace travel.

Also, the scanners indicate

no biological activity
whatsoever.

Commander,
we have to investigate.

[BREETAI] That is completely
out of the question.

Sir, isn't it possible
your scanning system

may have missed something--
some tiny clue?

Isn't there
any margin for error?

No. The information assimilated
is in accordance

with the galactic code.

Errors are not possible.

We can't waste
an opportunity like this.

We must investigate!

Your compassion is commendable.

However, it looks
to me as though

the vessel could be a trap.

Wha--?

We Zentraedi are known

for such "Trojan Horses,"
as you call them.

It is not wise
to take such a risk.

He's right. We can't jeopardize
the mission, Lisa.

It's too important.
Don't you understand?

I suppose you're right. Yes.

[BREETAI]
Good, it's settled.

Let us get on
with the mission.

We will enter hyperspace
on my command.

[NARRATOR] Breetai's command
ship slips into hyperspace

in a last-ditch effort
to gain access

to the dwindling supply
of Protoculture.

Once again, they are hurled
into deep space

to attempt the impossible.

[NARRATOR] Across the galaxies,
hundreds of parsecs from Earth,

the command ship dematerializes
out of hyperspace.

Finally, they approach
the object

of their secret mission:

the massive
Robotech factory satellite.

[BREETAI] My dear colleagues,
we have arrived.

[CLAUDIA]
That's incredible!

I've never seen anything
like it in my entire life!

Whew! Whatever power
that created that

- -must be amazing.
- -[CLAUDIA] Hmm.

It's hard to believe
that such a thing

- -exists at all.
- -[CLAUDIA] Mm-hmm!

[MAX] Well, all I can say is
you better believe it.

[LISA] Max, remember,
whatever you do,

they must think
we possess the Protoculture.

Yes, Captain.

[ZENTRAEDI] All fighters,
prepare for launch.

Summon Captain Hunter to
the bridge right away, please.

Yes, sir.

What do you have in mind,
Commander Breetai?

Captain Hayes,
I must apologize

for not having
informed you sooner,

but are you aware of
the necessity for a diversion

to throw off the satellite
tracking personnel?

Yes, sir, I support
the diversionary tactic.

But weren't you proposing
to use Minmei?

I thought we were going
to broadcast her voice.

Correct. However, we have
devised a small modification.

Your Lordship,
that was your plan

from the beginning, was it not?

Hmm. Exedore, your modesty
equals your intelligence.

Captain,
we have decided that

the kiss would be
a more effective counterattack.

- -Don't you agree?
- -Wha--?

Um, I suppose so.

[BREETAI] I'm sure you recall
the extraordinary effect

produced when you and
Captain Hunter touched lips.

Lisa.

Oh, come on, can't you see
it's a brilliant plan?

Nothing to get upset over.

Um...

[ZENTRAEDI] Platform A,
you are cleared for launch.

[ZENTRAEDI]
Lord Breetai, a transmission

from Commander Reno.

- -Shall I put it through?
- -Yes.

Welcome, Commander Breetai.

Do you come as friend or foe?

I have come to demand
you surrender to me immediately.

My surrender? Hmph!

Do you have any more
amusing anecdotes

to relate, Breetai?

[BREETAI] Actually,
I do have something else

you might possibly enjoy.

It should be arriving
at any moment.

[RENO] I'll attempt to contain
my boundless excitement.

[RICK]
Captain Hunter reporting, sir.

Ah, Captain,
you're right on time.

This is your last opportunity
to comply with the request.

Ridiculous! The very fact
that you have rejected

the ways of the
Robotech Masters indicates...

What? A female
talking to a male?

Yes, that's right,
Commander.

And now,
if you will watch closely,

you will witness the strange
and glorious freedom

that comes from Protoculture.

Lisa, what...
What is he talking about?

It's all right.

Huh? Now I'm starting to worry.

I don't think I'm gonna
like this one little bit.

[chuckles]

[MIRIYA]
Max, is there any possibility

that Rick may not go along

with the changes
in the diversion plan?

Don't worry
about him, Miriya.

Remember, Rick's a professional.

Yes, Mister,
I'm making it an order!

[MAX]
It's his job to take orders.

That's good.

Do you think that
we'll ever have a chance

to touch lips again, Max?

[MAX]
I promise we will.

[CLAUDIA] They're within range
of the tracking systems now.

[BREETAI]
Commence broadcast.

No, Lisa! I'm telling you,
I'm not gonna

consent to the kiss,
orders or no orders!

I'm sorry, but my mind
is made up!

- -Hmm?
- -[MINMEI] 7 Stage lights 7

F Flashing 7

7 The feeling's smashing... 7

- -l can't stand it!
- -[ZENTRAEDIS groaning]

What an awful sound!

I've never heard
anything so horrible!

No more! Please turn it off!

It's unbelievable, Lisa.
I, uh...

[MINMEI]
7 All bells are ringing 7

Well, Reno,
perhaps this will please you.

Hmm?

[RENO] What? A male and
female touching lips?

Can't be! It's impossible!

I can't watch anymore!
Turn off the monitor!

That display gained you nothing!

[ZENTRAEDI] Lord Breetai, he has
discontinued transmission!

[BREETAI]
Hm?

[CLAUDIA]
Contact in three seconds.

[BREETAI]
We can only hope.

Attack alert!

[CLAUDIA] Veritechs report
successful entry, Commander.

The baby is with Max and Miriya.

[RENO] All units prepare
to destroy Micronian fighters

on my command!

Micronians!
You are completely surrounded!

Surrender immediately
and you will be allowed to live!

Huh?

[MIRIYA]
This is it, Max.

- -Wish me luck.
- -[MAX] You've got it.

And don't worry, everything
will be fine. I'm right here.

I am not a Micronian,

but a micronized
Zentraedi warrior.

[RENO]
You are Miriya Parina!

You were second in command
under Azonia!

Allow me to present
Lieutenant Maximilian Sterling,

an officer with the Earth
forces, and my mate.

[RENO]
What is this thing, "mate"?

He is merely a Micronian.

Show him the baby, Miriya.

Huh? But this is impossible!

By the twelve moons,
that thing is deformed.

[ZENTRAEDI 1]
Oh, what is that?

[ZENTRAEDI 2]
Look, it moves!

[ZENTRAEDI SOLDIERS clamoring]

In the Micronian language,

this is what is called
an "infant."

Actually created
inside my own body.

But by both of us.

Mm-hmm.

It is love that is
the basis of Protoculture.

You cannot conquer love!

Uh... Uh...

[ALL]
Huh?

[MIRIYA] Observe the power
of Protoculture,

the power of love!

[ZENTRAEDI 1]
Ooh!

[ZENTRAEDI 2]
Is that thing alive?

It must be a mutation!

What do you think?
Is it contagious?

[SOLDIERS gasping]

[RENO]
What are you frightened of?

[gasping, screaming]

[SOLDIER]
Get out of my way!

[screaming]

[yelling]

[NARRATOR]
Although the first phase

of the operation was successful,

Breetai knows that it will
take more than a bluff

to defeat his
former comrades-in-arms.

I can't imagine
why they reacted like that.

I think Max and Miriya's baby
is very cute, don't you?

Oh, stop it, Claudia.

None of you should underestimate
the opposition's capability.

All fighters prepare
for immediate attack.

[CLAUDIA on PA]
All personnel report

to battle stations immediately!

Red alert! This is not a drill!
Repeat: Red alert!

All Veritech fighter groups
to launching platforms!

Skull Squadron up first,

followed by Blue,
Green, and Brown!

Skull Squadron, you are go.

Repeat: You are go.

[RICK] Roger, Command!
Liftoff positive!

[NARRATOR] With the efficiency
of a finely tuned machine,

the fleet of Veritech
fighters race towards

the ultra-fortified
Robotech factory.

The future of interstellar peace
depends on Breetai's brilliant

but desperate strategies.

[RENO]
I don't want your excuses!

Now get your fighters
to battle stations!

Do you understand?

But, sir, don't you see,

they are terrified
of Micronian contamination.

Contamination? Nonsense!

Your orders are to destroy
the infected mecha at once!

I have spoken. Now go!

Enemy approaching
at two point zero.

Fire all proton torpedoes
on my command.

Fire!

[MIRIYA]
Watch it, Max. I've got him!

[MAX on radio]
Whew! Thanks, partner!

[ZENTRAEDI PILOT]
They're all over the place.

[ZENTRAEDI] Squadron leaders
are requesting assistance,

- -Commander Breetai.
- -Is the neutron cannon ready?

Eighty percent.

We have positive lock and focus

on photon particle
tracking beam.

All Veritechs are clear.

Fire the cannon now!

[NARRATOR]
The near total annihilation

of all enemy forces
has left Breetai

with a clear path

straight to
the Robotech factory satellite.

[EXEDORE] Lord Breetai,
the remaining troops

have agreed to surrender.

Let the prisoners know
that we will gladly accept

all survivors who wish
to join our forces.

Lord Breetai
extends his greetings

to all Zentraedi prisoners.

Furthermore...

Our victory may very well mark

the dawn of a new era
in galactic relations.

[NARRATOR] With their mission
now almost complete,

the only major problem
still facing the United Earth

and Zentraedi forces

is how to keep
the satellite factory

from falling into the hands

of the Robotech Masters
once again.

[WOMAN on PA] Battle cruiser,
you are now entering

magnetic suspension docking bay.

Please reduce all retro
propulsion activity to zero.

[NARRATOR] For days, the
combined efforts of Breetai's

Earth forces and the
surrendered Zentraedi survivors

have utilized all of
the existing resources

to prepare the massive
Robotech factory

for its voyage
through hyperspace.

Finally, all is ready.

Lord Breetai, all fold systems
are now operational.

[BREETAI]
Begin furnace build-up.

Yes, sir.

[machinery rumbling,
electricity crackling]

Computations
for hyperspace reactions

are complete, Commander.

Begin fold.

[ZENTRAEDI] Commence factory
satellite fold reaction... now.

Navigational coordinates
and molecular distribution

are synchronous.

I'm getting worried, Commander.

The enormous heat mass
exchange is overloading

some of the Reflex Furnaces.

[BREETAI] Do not worry.
If the ship has enough power

to make the de-fold,
I will be content.

Why not destabilize
the auxiliary functions?

- -[CLAUDIA] Yes, sir.
- -Re-entering Earth zone.

[BREETAI]
As you Micronians would say,

"We've made it."

My dear colleagues,
it is good to be back home.

- -[CLAUDIA] Yay!
- -[LISA] Oh, thank goodness.

[EXEDORE]
Oh, very good, sir.

[ALL laughing]

[NARRATOR] Next episode:
Rick Hunter patrols

the skies of Earth's
new civilization

on a constant vigil
against alien attack.

The personal tragedies
of the survivors

pale in comparison
to Khyron's plans

as he attempts a comeback
by destroying the new society

before it has had
a chance to develop.

Be sure to watch
"Khyron's Revenge,"

the next thrilling chapter
in the story

of Robotech.
