What did Ray used to do? He was a pilot... an elite army pilot. That won't be necessary! Just give us a bit more time! Compared to how good I used to be, he's still got a ways to go. This is Ray Lovelock. How's the maintenance on the VF-19 going? I was Stephan's girlfriend. Why do you always pull stunts like this? I told you I'd go and get it! I got the lead role! The lead role! To get the lead role for the debut TV broadcast all of a sudden... It's like a dream... The Lin Minmei Story. Oh, hush. Come on, I'm Lin Minmei. Good for you. What's with your attitude? Is it so wrong for you to be happy for me? Whether or not I'm happy is up to me. What's wrong with you? This is Fire Bomber's first big break. And you're taking this disinterested attitude from the start. Be quiet. That's not what I said. Then why don't you be sincere about it and be happy? Our songs are going to be playing on TV. Right? Uh, right. See? I already knew that. CF1 MINMEI VIDEO I get it! Basara... What is it? What is it now? Man... You're embarrassed! To play the role of Hikaru Ichijo, you have to be sensitive. The total opposite of you... You're afraid you won't be able to do it. What are you talking about? Ha! I knew it. Sure enough, you're all anxious. You must have a fever or something. Watch your step at the end. All the same, you want to do this, right? Hikaru Ichijo. I never said I wanted to do this. But usually, you're even more disinterested, and you'd say, ``I won't do it'', or ``stop it''. You really want to do it, honestly. Hikaru! Damn it, I can't take you anywhere. What's that supposed to mean? Are you implying something?! What is it? A child like you wouldn't understand. What?! You're even more of a child... always talking without thinking. Be careful, now. I have been selected to play the role of the Zentradi warrior Breetai... I'm Suren Langu. I've been chosen to play Kamujin... I'm Rolei Shuman. I'm the leader of Fire Bomber, Ray Lovelock. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well. I have been selected to play the role of the Zentradi warrior Breetai... I'm Suren Langu. I've been chosen to play Kamujin... I'm Rolei Shuman. Man, was I scared. I wonder if my mom used to be that big too. That's right... She was a Meltrandi. That must mean, you have the blood of giants running through your veins. To the staff participating in the Lin Minmei story, good work. I'm the producer, Jakal Chan. Please let me explain the content of this video. But, before that, let me introduce our special guests. First, Mayor Myria. Good morning, everyone. As everyone knows, Myria was known as an ace among the Meltrandi. Mom? What are you doing here? I'm going to be working on this too. You didn't know that? But, her dog-fighting genius met it's match in Macross 7's Captain, Maximilian Jenius. The main feature of this video is the historical idol singer, Lin Minmei. Who, with her song, was able to end the war between the Unified Army and the Zentradi. We also would also like to add a sub-story about the tale of Maximilian Jenius and Myria Faleane and their efforts to end the war, as a documentary. So, Dad's going to be working on this video too? That's the way it worked out. Dad? Our other special guest, Captain Maximilian, has arrived. Everyone, thank you. Basara! This is a recruitment video for the Unified Army and the City offices. Well, most of this script is focusing on Mom and Dad's legend. I'm going to withdraw. Why? We're the leads! That's not the point. Then what is the point? You wouldn't understand. Why not? Are you going to say again that a child like me wouldn't understand? Wait a sec. Regardless of the whole lead role thing, this is still a big opportunity for Fire Bomber. We'll be able to let everyone hear how we sound. Ray... You knew about this from the start, right? No. Well, it doesn't matter. I don't want anything to do with this. Basara! Are you really quitting? Basara! It's hard playing the part of a circus geek.{?} Here's an itemized list of complaints the City office drew up. The Macross residents fear for their lives when they walk the streets. We can't capture even one of the abductors. We don't have a cure for the victims. What the hell is the army doing?! Don't blame me. We haven't confirmed anything yet. But, we do know that the enemy's machines seem to be of the type sent on an investigative mission to the 4th planet in the Varauta 3198XE system. That's all you know? Do you even know the reasons why I agreed to do this video? I do know. They're the same reasons I'm doing it. It's a complicated balancing act. To satisfy the City office's and the army's agenda, using our legendary story... I opposed it too. The Macross citizens aren't stupid. They will still have complaints for the City office and army. That's true. Myria... I have a bad feeling about this... As if something unexpected is going to happen. This is surprising. These people have the ability to increase their Spiritia level. The time to carry out the Spiritia Farm project is almost here. Indeed. The Unified Army was involved in a desperate fight with the Zentradi forces. In particular, with an ace called Myria. Hey, that's you, Mom. Was that when you were a giant? Uh... right. Say, why did you become a miclone? Were you totally gaga over Dad? I wonder myself. But, you haven't changed one bit. ``Haven't changed?'' You haven't aged any. Thank you. You dropped seven kids... You must be a monster. Why would Dad break up with a beauty like you? Mylene! We haven't broken up. What? But I was there when... Listen here. Both your father and I are very busy with a lot of things. So, it's still a secret from everyone else. Understood? I get it, I get it. I get it already! What? Would you stop putting on an act then? This and that are two different things. No fair! Thank you very much. Mylene! Bobby? Do you want to go out for some cake or something? I was picked for the role of Hikaru Ichijo all of a sudden, right? So, I'm a bit behind... But... Basara just up and decided to quit? I'll bet he was planning to quit right from the start. Anyway, the part was mine for the taking, so I took it. Thank you very much. Now I'll have to do my best. Don't you think? It's open still, right? I'm going out for cake with the young lady, so bring the car around. Right away. What's going on, Mylene? Bobby says he wants to go out for cake. You know, to talk about business. I won't keep her out too late. On the way back, I'll bring her back to the manager. Let's go, Minmei. # eyecatch You guys still haven't been on TV yet? This will be your first time? Yes. In that case, I'll introduce you to a lot of music producers. Okay. Wait... was this the way? Well, let's drive just a bit. We can eat cake in the car too. Man, that Ray... Always bugging me for favors. I'm not Mylene's baby-sitter. Just where do you expect to eat cake? I know a good place. I don't think it's such a ``good place.'' What's wrong? You shouldn't look so mad. Once you become famous, you'll never know when a photographer is taking your picture, so you can't look mad like that. Don't worry... This is how I look, after all. But you do want to become famous, right? Where we're going, there are a lot of entertainment people... You'll be famous in no time. Is that what it means to be famous? I don't want to get violent. What hotel does that bastard usually use?! Plito Hotel. Okay, we're here. Shall we have some cake? Thank you very much for a lovely time. Wait a sec. What are you talking about? The fun has yet to begin. I've had enough. Let go of my arm. You aren't going to be a child forever. I hate being called a child. I love stuff like this. What do you think you're doing? Having some cake. Spiritia level 55. Who the hell are you? A vampire! Bobby! Wait... wait a sec! Get in! Bobby is... What? Get out of my way! Basara! Hurry up! Shut up! Damn it! Always causing me trouble... Basara... In the middle of the night, there are all sorts of bloodsuckers running around. Be careful! What? Hikaru Ichijo quit? It turns out Bobby won't be able to do it. There aren't any other possibilities. So I get stuck with it? That's pretty much it. It has to be you. You want me to be a recruiter for the army?! Hear me out. It may be Captain Max's or Mayor Myria's promo piece, but just think about it. The Macross fleet is under attack from an unknown enemy which we can't find anything out about. The people are afraid of the vampires. They're all over the place, and causing all sorts of unrest. The City police and the army are doing all they can to handle the complaints. But the situation is going from bad to worse. The peace they had is crumbling and... In any case, you were Hikaru Ichijo from the start. Suck it in and do it. # My Boyfriend's a Pilot Why do I have to dress like this? And putting all those goofy ornaments on my Valkyrie... Okay, good pose. We'll transition to the Zentradi battle like this. Scene 67, standby okay. Start! What is that? What is it? Those aren't prop machines... they're the real enemy. No way! It's about time! I'll give you plenty to listen to... My song! Let's go! Cut! Cut! What the hell does he think he's doing? Listen to my song! Mylene... the time for our debut has come. Basara! Let's go! # Planet Dance What's the meaning of this? This isn't some drama... that's the real enemy. What? Diamond Force, scramble standby. Basara! That voice... Who ever imagined something like this could happen? Having to trust her life to a guy like him... This music really sets the stage... Don't say stupid stuff like that! You are still rolling, right? Of course! To be able to shoot something like this... That voice... it has to be Miss Mylene's! Not again... I think I understand now... The legendary story of Lin Minmei. It's a story that's been exaggerated with time, like a fairy-tale. Just like the drama being filmed now... Next Episode Ahh! Basara! I've been abducted by some weirdoes! Where are you, Mylene? Where are you? I don't know! Next time, Spiritia Farm. Mylene, listen to my song!
