: You're a little late to the party there, buddy.
: Yeah, we've all heard.
: Man, there's always someone who's way behind everyone else.
: ...Well, excuse me for being behind the times!: Whoa, easy there, I didn't say that.: But, wow, that is somethin' else. We've been traveling with Her Majesty the Queen?: (.........): (.........): (.........): What? You guys aren't impressed?
: Not to mention more active queens like Cenia.: Yeah, adding one more queen at this point isn't that big of a deal.: Huh... The Londo Bell was an even bigger deal than I thought.
: (.........)
: (Of course Loran's lost all spine, too... This is my only chance to avenge my father...)
: Er, yes...
: I heard your story from Miashei... You lost your father in an attack by the Diana Counter, right?: Y-yes...: (.........) I know how you feel, all too well... But it's not good to let those feelings rule you forever.: (.........): ...I'm sorry. That was uncalled for, wasn't it?: (.........)[SCENE CHANGE]
: Not nearly as bad as I was expecting.
: It makes sense, I suppose. The Militia presence here is small... And there there are people from the past, which ranks a bit above the moon in terms of surprise.: What about you, Doctor?: Me? I'm plenty surprised. Moreso because she was even helping out with nursing and laundry...: (.........): She's quite different from the image we had of her.: (.........): So, do you think Queen Diana has figured out the truth about us?: Yeah, but she hasn't said anything about it to me yet.: (.........): She doesn't seem to have said anything about us to Captain Bright and the others yet, either.: Is that so...Someone enters the room.
: What's the matter, Puru?
: My head... It really hurts.: Your head...? You don't seem to have a fever...: ...This feeling... Maybe it's...: Newtype resonance...?[SCENE CHANGE]
: Let's hear your report, then.
: ...The area around Jop is reinforced with Walker Machines and landships. The Innocent want to ambush us head-on.
: (.........)
: Then there's no doubt the pacifist Arthur Rank is being imprisoned.: Is it not possible at all to resolve this with peaceful discussions?: Correct, the other side has shown no desire to do so.: (.........)
: The Iron Gear's crew wants to rescue Arthur Rank.: (.........): Captain Bright, if we rescue Arthur Rank, there will be no more turning back for us. By saving him, we would be showing favor to a representative with the influence to split this world into two. Add in the Dinosaur Empire, and more than half of the world will become our enemy.: (.........): But even in the last war, we had similar circumstances.: Back then, we were forced to face the whole universe as enemies, too...: (.........): But this is a completely different situation. We shouldn't forget that this is the future.: (.........)
[SCENE CHANGE]
: To start with... The objective of this operation is the rescue of Arthur Rank.
: Is it okay to ignore the Breakers protecting Jop?
: They're just there for the money. If things start to look bad, they'll run in a flash.
: The operation to capture Jop will have two stages. Insertion into the dome and carrying out the rescue mission inside. Group 1 will attack the landships guarding the perimeter, and have our flagship break into the dome... Then Group 2 will force their way through the dome and rescue Arthur Rank and the others.
: Charging in with a flagship? That'd be easier with the Macross.
: Yeah, it would.: We have two plans for getting a ship in...
: We expect the frontal attack to lead to intensive fighting, given our direct approach.: If we can pull off a surprise attack, we can get into the dome with minimal fighting. And, naturally, the surprise attack would be conducted at night.
: At night, I'd be able to keep the enemies occupied with the Satellite Cannon.: I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on which plan you think we should adopt.
---------------------------------
So how will we go about doing the next mission? Should we go in guns blazing, or try a more stealthy approach?
