----------------------------
: Mm, good work... ...So after three months, the hull repairs are finally finished...
: Yes, sir... The reactor repairs are at around the 20% mark...
: It's understandable. It's a miracle we were all safe after getting caught up in that explosion three months ago.: I suppose so...(...Then Ichijo and Lt. Commander Fokker's group went missing... We couldn't find so much as a scrap of their machines, either...): ...One more week until the shockwave's predicted arrival time...
: ...Yes, sir. At the present, it's uncertain whether or not the energy sources gathered on the moon will be enough to let the project succeed...: I hear they're wrestling with the issue of the energy that Japan's EOT Facility requires to deploy the gravitational barrier. And issue of finding shelter for the space colony residents is still unresolved... We'll just have to pray that Project Aegis succeeds even without the Macross's reactor...: (.........) ...I'm sure it will go well, Captain. And I have the feeling that Roy and the former Londo Bell members will all come back.: Claudia...: Aw, come on, Misa... Stop looking like that. Today marks a new departure for you...: Y-yes...
: Lieutenant Hayase, here... These flowers are from us.
: Thank you......
: But... It'll be lonely on the bridge without you around, Lieutenant.
: I told you not to say things like that!: S-sorry...
: Yeah, no kidding! We're all so proud of you.: ...I'm still not certain that I'm suited to be the captain of the Megaroad... And... Most of the ship's essential components haven't been built yet, and construction is suspended.: There you go getting all negative again... But you'll be fine. I'm sure you'll do a great job, Misa.: She's right, Hayase... Have some confidence in yourself. As long as you put your experience as the Macross's chief operator to good use, you'll do fine.: Captain Gloval...: ...You've done good work here, Hayase. I've lost count of how many times you've bailed us out.: I'm glad that I had you and everyone else to take care of me, Captain. I'll never forget the Macross.: Mm. Do a good job on the Megaroad, too.: So... When do you set out for the moon?: Possibly tomorrow...: Eh? But the Megaroad's construction doesn't resume until after Project Aegis.: No... There's someplace I have to go before that...[SCENE CHANGE]
: I'm sorry, Brother... I've made up my mind.
: (.........)
: But... What gain is there in your going to the moon at this point?: (.........): It's clear as day that Project Aegis is doomed to failure. You're marching to your own death!: (.........): And what are you going to do once you get there, huh?: I... Hikaru, his squadron, and all the Londo Bell members... I want to see the Earth Sphere's future, that they protected at great risk to their lives... I want to see it with my own eyes.: But it's your job to give the people of the Earth Sphere courage!: That's all the more reason I should bear witness to Project Aegis... And fulfill that role...: M-Minmay...: (.........): Please, Kaifun. Let me go to the moon.: (.........): I know that even if I go, it won't accomplish anything. But I can't stand staying here and doing nothing...: (.........)
: But!: ...Like you just said, right now it's our job to give courage to people who are faced with despair... Minmay understands that perfectly well.: (.........) ......All right, Minmay. Do what you want.: ...Thank you, Brother...
: (.........) I've been waiting for you... Let's go to the moon together...: Yes...[SCENE CHANGE]
: I've been bad about keeping in touch, myself.
: The adjustments were finished yesteray... I somehow managed to get two operable.
: Then let's waste no time. We'll load them up.: If you could, please. By the way, Professor Yumi, how are the Photonic engines?
: Between myself and Chief Kabuto, we managed to get three ready in time.: I see... If we'd had more time, we could have prepared more energy sources for the gravitational shield, but...: It can't be helped. The shockwave will reach the Earth Sphere in another three days...: (.........): Well then, let's move out and head for the Moon Cradle.: All right.
: Father, take care... I'll be praying for Project Aegis's success.: Mm. I intend to do my utmost to ensure that Ryou, Kouji, and the others can return someday. So, take care of the rest... Michiru.: Yes...
[SCENE CHANGE]
: How long until they reach their intended positions?
: About one hour. If problems arise with their positioning, Preventer machines will manually correct them.
: Yes...
: We've made all the necessary connections from the microwave transmitter to our varied energy sources.
: What's the final deployment rate on the gravitational shield?: 54.3% of our original plan...: Mh... So we just barely managed to surpass the halfway mark...: Yes, sir...: ...Then we won't be able to completely defend against the shockwave...: Yes... The colonies in the area that the shockwave will hit will likely take severe damage...: So the hole that Kenichi and the rest of the old Londo Bell left is that great...
: Dr. Kabuto...
: Ring, set up the energy connectors that I brought, immediately.: Energy connectors...?: Doctor, are those...?: Yes. They're the connectors for linking the former Londo Bell units to the microwave transmitter.: But... They're...: (.........) ...I believe in them. I'm sure that Kouji and Tetsuya and the rest will come, to protect the Earth Sphere... So I want to hold out and hope until the very end.: (.........): (.........): ...You're right. They've saved the Earth Sphere from danger countless times... So... This time, I'm sure...Suddenly, the Facility begins to shake!
: What the!?
: A dimensional distortion!?: Is something warping out...!? (.........) Aya, Rai! Both of you, join Irm and launch!
: Right!: (.........)
