[NARRATOR] The threat posed
by the Robotech Masters,

[NARRATOR] The threat posed
by the Robotech Masters,

has sent fear through
the ranks of the Army

of the Southern Cross.

The plans to rebuild the planet
after an interplanetary war

nearly destroyed it
a generation earlier,

have taken a backseat
to more immediate problems.

Their one hope rests with
a captured alien bioroid pilot,

known only as Zor.

The Earth forces feel that,

if they can break through
Zor's wall of amnesia,

the secret weakness of their
alien foe will be revealed.

It is a job which affects
the lives of many

who serve the Supreme Command

of the United Earth Government.

[DANA grunting]
...53, 54, 55...

[ANNOUNCER]
Attention, attention.

Corporal Louie Nichols
and Private Bowie Grant,

Sergeant Johnson
in mechanic's bay six,

flight deck B.

Tight stomach... [grunting]

- -[ANNOUNCER] ...deck B.
- -...59... 60.

[ANNOUNCER]
Second Lieutenant Dana Sterling.

Emergency call. Pick up
your nearest interphone.

Ah, perfect.

- -[buckles clicking]
- -[DANA grunting]

[gasps]

- -[ringing]
- -[DANA gasps]

Dana Sterling.

[indistinct muttering
over phone]

Really? Report right now?

[dial tone]

[DANA]
Looks like trouble.

[DANA]
Excuse me, sir.

Second Lieutenant Dana Sterling
reporting as ordered!

[ROLF]
Come in, Sterling.

Huh?

[ROLF] Step up
to the desk, Lieutenant.

[DANA]
Um, yes, sir.

[ROLF]
Good.

You may know, Lieutenant,
we have a problem with Zor.

He's here, but he's not here.

His memory's
completely wiped out

and we badly need
to debrief him.

[gasps]

But, sir, debrief him
right here, now?

No, not now. What's
the matter with you?

Just listen to me
a moment, Lieutenant.

Zor's now under
your personal direction.

He's an excellent fighter,

and perhaps privy to
the Robotech Master's secrets.

Yes, I think I understand
the logic, sir.

A military assignment may
jog his memory in some way.

Of course. And because you are
half-Zentraedi yourself,

you alone are the one
to handle this job.

Me debrief Zor all alone? Sir!

[ROLF]
For the time being.

Now, do you think you can
handle it, Lieutenant Sterling?

I hope so. I mean,
I know so, sir.

I mean, I promise I'll get
Zor's memory back in a flash!

Promises: they're hard to keep.

I never make a promise
I can't keep.

We'll go back to barracks
and start right away--

of course, with your leave.

[ROLF]
You may go.

[ZOR] General Emerson,
thank you very much.

[DANA]
Right this way, Zor.

You know, I think you're gonna
enjoy working with my unit.

[door opens, closes]

Sir, I hope you know
what you're doing.

You can never know for sure.

We'll just have to wait
and see for now.

Well, I hope it works out
for the best, General.

But I would have liked to
have debriefed Zor personally.

Yes, Rochelle, I know,
but Zor may well remember Dana

from his last combat experience.

If so, she just might be the key
to unlocking his memory.

I wonder, sir.

I don't make the rules of war.
I just play the game.

If Zor was there and he knows
the Robotech Master's secrets,

then we must make use of it.

[DANA] Our new recruit's
a very good fighter,

and I know if he was assigned
to us, that General Emerson

must have confidence in him.

So, from now on,

Zor is officially
part of our unit.

[TROOPERS chattering]

Be quiet! I said quiet!

Wait, Lieutenant.
Is this a real scoop?

Blazing battloids, you think
I'm making this up?

So he's replacing all
the men that we lost?

[BOWIE] Hm, I don't
think that's right.

Hey, I don't want this guy
as my wing man! No way, no how.

- -[ALL clammoring]
- -Be quiet!

Now I'm still making the
assignments around here,

and Zor is part of our group.

Your mission is to
make him feel welcome,

and I want all
your help. Go on, now.

[TROOPERS murmuring]

Well. Zor, welcome
to 15th Squad!

Thank you.

So, big fella, you and Dana;
you two getting along all right?

- -[ZOR] What do you mean?
- -Okay, Corporal Nichols.

Don't you have something better
to do in the mechanic's bay?

[LOUIE] Why, uh, yes. I guess
I can find something to do.

Uh, later, Dana.

And I'll thank you to address
me in the proper manner

from now on! Is that clear?

[LOUIE]
Right, Lieutenant!

[MALE VOICE] Secure firing
range. Lock and load.

Marksman. Ready in
the firing beam.

[ZOR]
Ready here.

[MALE VOICE]
Beam out!

Time lock!

[ZOR]
Must concentrate.

[MALE VOICE] Clear!
Begin target sequencing now!

[ZOR]
Steady, steady now.

[ZOR]
Just concentrate.

[ZOR]
Settle down. One at a time.

[grunts] Next!

Come on! Come on!

[grunts]

[ZOR]
Time is running out.

[grunts]

[ZOR]
Okay, now. Just one more.

I guess that should
show them how it's done.

Oh, Zor! You were so good!
You were wonderful!

I can't believe it;
where did you learn

to shoot like that?

You beat the simulator!
No one's ever done that before!

You're good, Zor.
You're really good!

- -[EDDIE] Too good.
- -[IDANA] Hmm?

Yeah, you can shoot.
Now what, hotshot?

You gonna destroy
the bioroids or us?

Can't hear you... big man!

Eddie!

What's the matter,
cat got your tongue, tough guy?

[DANA]
Eddie, stop that right now.

No, Dana, you stop it!

I don't buy this
lost memory stuff.

[TROOPERS gasping]

- -[DANA] Eddie!
- -[EDDIE] Here.

[ALL sigh]

[EDDIE] And I don't think
he's that tough, either!

[DANA grunts]
Wise guy!

[ZOR]
No problem.

[SEAN humming]

- -[DANA] Oh!
- -[SEAN] Hey!

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh.
Is that you?

- -[SEAN] Mm-hmm.
- -Oh, and the flowers!

Who's this week's
little darlin', Sean?

Oh, these? They're for our
little Marie Crystal!

The doctors are finally letting
her out of the hospital today.

What? Marie's
getting out today?

[laughing] Oh.
Now listen, flyboy.

She's not gonna be as easy
as shooting down skylarks,

you get me?

Yeah, sure, but I
shoot pretty well.

So what's with
the fancy clothes?

You dating somebody
new, Lieutenant?

No. Just a debriefing
session with Zor.

Huh? Debriefing session?

[gasps] Ooh, I'm late.
Oh, by the way,

tell Marie I'm glad
she's feeling better

and getting out
of the hospital today.

I'll come and see her soon
as I possibly can. Bye-bye.

Uh, a true space cadet.

[excited screams]

Hi, dreamboat!

[ZOR]
I feel as though I know her

in some forgotten past,

and yet, in this environment...

[DANA] Zor. Oh, Zor.
I'd love to unlock your memory.

Are you thinking about me?

[ZOR]
I must regain my memory.

[DANA] Oh, come on,
it's too early to go back.

Let's go on the space
tunnel ride again.

Are you sure this is what the
General meant by debriefing?

I'm in charge here.

But I'm the one you're
experimenting on.

[sighs]

Um, what's with you?

I think I'm in love.

[ZOR] Mm. That word has
no real meaning for me.

Oh. Well,

wait till you've had a ride
on the space tunnel

and then tell me
it has no meaning.

- -Come on, let's go.
- -[ZOR] Wait.

Anyway, let's forget all about
this debriefing business

and have some fun, okay?

- -Come on!
- -[ZOR] Oh, okay!

Oh, I'm so excited.

You'll really get
a charge out of this!

It sends chills up your spine!

Great.

[DANA]
There now. This isn't so bad.

[DANA]
Here... we... go!

[screams]

[DANA giggles]

Wh [ZOR]
at's happening?

The pattern.
The pattern repeating.

Over and over
and over. [groans]

[ZOR]
No, not again!

Huh? What's the matter, Zor?

[DANA screaming]

[screaming]

- -Save me, Zor!
- -[ZOR] Huh?

- -[ZOR grunting]
- -[DANA screaming]

[ZOR] Who was that?
Who was that I saw?

[ZOR grunts]

[ZOR] That woman, that image,
lost, floating away.

Who is she?

[DANA humming]

- -[DANA] Good morning, everyone.
- -[BOWIE] Huh? Hi, Lieutenant.

Morning, Lieutenant!

[DANA]
Hmm. Bowie, have you seen Zor?

Nope, not me.

I told him we were
having a simulation today.

Well, if you see him,
tell him I'm looking for him.

Ah! Zor, Zor, Zor, Zor.

That's all we ever hear
about around here.

If it's not Dana, it's Louie,
always hanging around him,

asking about the
Robotech Mothership.

I'm getting sick and tired
of hearing about Zor.

Hey, pal, let's go for a swim.

- -1t'll make you relax, come on!
- -[BOWIE] Okay.

[NOVA] You've been over and
over these tapes, Zor,

and still not a clue.

What are you trying to do?
Drive us both crazy? Well?

[ZOR] I'm getting closer
and closer every time

I look at this stuff.
I can feel it.

I can just feel it.
I'm going to remember.

Something at least!
I'll break through.

Nova, let's take a look
at that last program again.

Okay. So, what happens
if you do regain your memory?

Do you crack up or what?

Who cares?

Maybe Dana, but she's
about the only one!

Just roll the tape,
Lieutenant Satori.

[ZOR]
Hmm. Nothing. No, nothing.

Huh?

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3] Earth is the
final source of Protoculture,

the basis of our power.

The lifeblood of our existence.

Our foremost goal is to
control this life force

by conquering Earth.

[ZOR groans]

[NOVA]
Zor!

[ZOR]
Oh, Earth. Earth.

Earth is the source. Earth!
Protoculture! We must have it!

[groans]

[NOVA]
He's finally remembering.

There's no apparent sign
of brain damage;

the light sedative
should take effect soon

and last through the night.

Thanks, doctor.
That's just fine,

but there's something
that I have to tell you.

Yes?

You are now under top
security restriction.

Speak of this to no one.

[DOCTOR] Mm-hmm,
have no fear, Lieutenant.

I understand completely.

[NOVA]
Good.

Remember, no one, doctor.

And thanks again.

[ZOR moaning]

[ZOR screaming]

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1]
They're like insects.

Simple creatures,
but with emotions.

They're industrious,
productive, but frivolous.

This immature female,
for instance.

Hard to believe
she's an officer,

a commander of men and machines,
leading them into war.

And it seems
she is part Zentraedi.

Very strange.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1]
It doesn't seem possible

but the sensors detect
certain biogenetic traits.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1]
Hmm. This is serious.

Zor Prime is regaining
his memory about

the Earth's Protoculture.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 2]
Yes, very serious.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3]
I agree.

Is it possible for his memory
to come back strongly enough

so that he can tell them?
What're your opinions?

I think it's obvious.

Zor Prime has detected
something in that half-breed,

and that recognition
has aroused him,

and his emotions
are doubtless the key

to bringing back his memory!

It's incredible that that
speck of human intellect

could foil all our plans
and the future of Robotech.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 2]
This insignificant race

can never hope
to stop our civilization.

But it still could be dangerous
to leave Zor among them.

He could remember even more.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1]
At this stage, there is only

a limited amount of information
they can get from Zor.

To avoid the risk
of being subjected

to even more of his
most primitive emotions,

we should begin controlling
Zor Prime immediately.

Let us go into his mind
and start controlling him now!

[COMMANDER LEONARD]
Zor's flashes of memory

tell us one thing:
Earth is the remaining source

of all Protoculture.
If we can believe it,

then this is the sole reason
the Robotech Masters

have not destroyed the Earth.

They will continue attacking
until they have accumulated

every supply of Protoculture
on this planet.

Therefore, our only hope
for survival is very simple:

we must attack first.

[ROLF] But, Supreme Commander,
why provoke an attack

when we have something
they would barter to get?

Let's tell them we know why
they're here and make a deal.

[LEONARD]
A deal? Ridiculous!

If we could somehow get the word
out to them that we are open

for negotiations, who can tell?
Almost anything could happen.

Are you serious? What
are you thinking, General--

that we'll just have a luncheon
with the Robotech Masters? Huh?

They won't make a deal,

they haven't even made
an attempt to communicate.

Yes. I'm quite
serious about this.

There must be a chance at a
peaceful settlement somehow.

And don't raise
a fist at me, young man.

Now, sit down and keep quiet.

- -Yes, you heard him.
- -[MEN groaning]

We are not in the deal-making
business, gentlemen.

We are here to protect
the sovereignty of our planet.

How can you even
think of negotiating

with these murderous
aliens, General?

[OFFICER 1] A military solution
is the only answer.

Our people expect it
of us. Nothing less.

Now listen here.

There will be no more listening
and no more talking.

We must attack the aliens.
We've no choice!

- -But, Supreme Commander. Sir!
- - [LEONARD] That's all!

[ROLF grunts]

[ROLF]
Perhaps he's right.

[DANA]
Hey, Zor! Slow down!

Have you remembered
anything else?

Come on, Zor, when are you
gonna start talking to me again?

Talk to you?

Why, I don't even see you,
Lieutenant Sterling.

How dare you talk
to me like that

when I don't deserve it
one little bit!

You've lost your
recent memory, too?

You've lost all respect for me?

I can't take the constant
interrogation, Lieutenant!

What interrogation?

[LOUIE]
Hey, Zor, glad to see ya.

Will ya look at this. Well?

Great.

Look familiar? I made it myself.

It's a replica of the one
you wore in the big battle.

I don't quite remember.

[LOUIE]
Hey, wait, what's the matter?

I'm only trying to
help you remember

what happened
out there, buddy. Oh!

Yeah sure.

[EDDIE]
Not so fast, hotshot,

I wanna to talk to you,
turn around.

[ZOR]
What?

Come on, Eddie.

Ow!

You're the cause
of my brother's death!

You're a liar, Zor.
You remember it all!

Now admit it!

[ANGELO]
Ah?

Ah, come on, Zor, you tell me.

Just how much
did my brother suffer?

Wha...?

Come on, now. You tell me
about it, you remember.

I know it.

I just wanna know.

[EDDIE sobbing]

I'm sorry.

- -[EDDIE yells]
- -[ZOR grunts]

[ZOR]
Feel better now?

Eddie!

[EDDIE growls]

Don't you think that's
enough now, Eddie?

[screams]

Thanks, Sergeant.

I won't stop him again, Zor.

I don't blame you.
I suppose I deserve a lot more

than a few punches for
what happened to his brother.

You got that right, mister.

[ZOR] I don't remember
Eddie's brother.

Maybe I don't want
to regain my memory.

The more I remember, the more
I realize how evil I've been.

It must be true.
I've killed my own people!

I'm a killer. I'm a killer!

[DANA]
So, there you are.

I thought you were gonna
wait for me in the lounge.

I've been looking
all over this place for you.

What's the matter now?

I'm tired of this.
Please leave me alone, Dana.

[gasps]

I don't want you
bothering me anymore.

And I don't want my memory
back either, understand?

What? I don't believe this.

[ZOR] Look, I can't take
this whole situation.

If they want what's
locked up in my brain,

tell them to operate!

You're really hurting me.
I'm only trying to help you.

I want us to keep being
friends. Please? Let me?

Listen to me.
The past is the past.

You have to be strong
and face it.

That's the only way
you're gonna beat it.

Otherwise you'll
lose everything.

Don't run away, Zor. We can win.

No, it's over.

[gasps] Okay.

If that's the way
you want it to be,

then that's it.

But don't come to me
for any help.

Hmm!

Ow!

[DANA]
You stupid!

- -[ZOR] Huh?
- -[DANA gasps]

Oh!

[ZOR]
Oh, no, I'm, I'm floating.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3]
Zor!

[ZOR grunting]

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3]
There is no place to run.

You cannot escape us.
You cannot get away.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 2] Zor, we have
you now. Do not try to run.

You cannot escape.

[ZOR panting]

[ZOR]
What is this place? Where am 1?

- -Huh?
- -[music plays]

That music. Who is she?
She's so beautiful.

[gasps]

[ZOR]
Her music. So delicate.

Who are you?

I'm... Musica.

Hmm.

[GUARD 1]
Stop, you are surrounded.

[ZOR] They won't shoot her.
She's one of them.

[GUARD 1]
This is your last warning.

Weapons at the ready.
Prepare to fire.

[BOTH gasping]

[GUARD 1]
Aim weapons. Fire at will!

[MUSICA gasping]

[ZOR]
Musica! No!

[ZOR grunts]

[BOTH grunting]

[DANA]
Zor!

Zor, are you all right?

[grunting]

Zor, what's happening? Tell me!

M-Musica.

What? Musica!
Please, Zor, what's that?

When I first saw her, she was
playing this beautiful music.

But then I used her
as a shield.

I didn't think they'd
kill her, but they did.

[ZOR whimpering]

I have no memory.
I'm a clone, an android.

I did kill Eddie's
brother, I'm sure.

[DANA]
No! Stop it!

[BOTH panting]

My God, the Robotech Masters.
They must control me completely.

[DANA whimpering]

[ZOR] There's only one way to
defeat the Robotech Masters.

I must destroy myself.

No! There is always hope... oh!

Your hand!

I don't think I understand.

How could the Robotech
Masters generate a human?

Physiologically, your
appearance is perfect.

I'm not real sure, Dana,
but believe me, our survival

depends on my finding out
why they have done this to me

and what they plan to do now.

All better,
there we go... oh.

Dana, I am sorry. I've said
some terrible things to you.

You know, Zor,
I think I'm finally

starting to understand you.

[ZOR]
I'm going to get some answers.

[ZOR] General Emerson
must have some information

on biogenetic humans.

[ROCHELLE] But it's reckless
to attack right away, General.

We aren't ready.

[ROLF] I know. I know.
But what can I do?

The Supreme Commander
has ordered it.

I'd hoped this wouldn't happen.

I'd hoped to use Zor's memory
as a bargaining point

for peace, but instead,
it means all-out war.

Huh? Who is that? Zor?

What's he doing down here?

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1]
The use of Zor Prime

goes well, even better
than we had hoped.

I find it interesting though,

the Micronians continue
to delude themselves,

with plans of attacking
our Robotech fortresses.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 1] But ]
must say, they have courage.

One simple fate remains
for the Micronians:

that we will annihilate
every one of them.

[ALL chanting]
Annihilate them.

[NARRATOR] The fate of
the world lies in the hands

of a few individuals.

Some willing participants,
others merely pawns

in a deadly game
of cat and mouse.

[NARRATOR] In the next
episode of Robotech,

the United Earth Forces

pull together to mount
a full-scale attack

on the armada of
the Robotech Masters.

Dana Sterling and the 15th
Tactical Armored Division

are left behind.

It is a plan masterminded
by Commander Leonard.

A plan that did not pass by
the mysterious Robotech Elders.

Be sure to watch
for "Triumvirate."

The next thrilling chapter
in the amazing odyssey

of Robotech.
