[NARRATOR]
The desperate frontal assault

on the Robotech Masters,

ordered by Supreme
Commander Leonard

against strong opposition,
proved to be a disaster,

and the shattered Earth fleet
has withdrawn towards the moon.

The discovery of the
"Invid Flower of Life"

within the ruins of the SDF-1

has made the Robotech Masters
even more desperate

to recapture their
lost battlefortress.

They know the flower
is the first sign

of the coming Invid invasion.

They are being kept apprised
of what is happening on Earth

by their unwitting agent,

the ex-bioroid pilot Zor.

[MARIE] Update from
the first attack wing.

The survivors of our
bioengineering sections

are initiating repairs
on the Advanced Lunar

Chemical Engineering station,
or ALUCE-1 as it's designated.

They feel fairly certain
that a complete program

of resource replenishment
will have to be carried out

to make the station
operational again.

We're doing the best we can
in what remains of the sick bay,

but we're short on medical
supplies and personnel,

so I'm requesting permission
to bring the worst cases

back to Earth for treatment.

Lieutenant Marie Crystal,
over and out.

[LEONARD]
Hmm.

[ROCHELLE]
That's the end of the message.

We received this
transmission from the moon

24 hours ago.

That's the first
transmission from the moon

that's gotten through the
enemy's subspace interference.

We should be happy about
that, I suppose. Hmm?

[chuckles] Well,
General Emerson,

it would appear that
our little assault operation

was not a complete
failure after all, eh?

Commander, are you proposing
to turn the ALuUCE station

into a base for
military operations?

Yes, that's my plan!

And I see nothing wrong with it.

Mm. Yes.

As I see it, an advanced
military outpost

on the moon will enable us
to strike at the enemy

from two places at once.

I see. In that way, we'd be

essentially outflanking
the enemy's fleet.

- -Right, sir?
- -[LEONARD] Yes, precisely.

Transforming a peaceful research
station into a military base

could be perceived
as a provocation.

And you don't perceive
a provocation

in the enemy's obliteration
of our first assault wave?

This is war, man,
not an exercise

- -in intergalactic diplomacy.
- -[ROLF] But...

...we haven't even
tried negotiating.

Your attitude borders
on being treasonous, General.

Mobilize the second assault wave
and prepare them to relieve

our forces on Moon base ALuUCE.

[ALL]
Yes, sir.

[NARRATOR]
Outside the council chambers,

another confrontation
is about to take place.

[ANGELO]
Huh? Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, Zor. What do you think
you're doing, huh?

Uh, uh, Angie, it's you.

How did I happen to get here?

Yeah, I was wondering
about that very thing.

You've been behavin'
mighty suspicious, buddy,

and I wanna know
just what you're up to.

Oh, Zor, there you are.

Hey, I've been looking
for you everywhere.

Dana, I--

[ANGELO]
Just a minute, Lieutenant.

Come here, I want
to ask you something.

Hey, wait a second.

Okay, why don't you start
by asking this fella

what he's doin' hangin' around
the War Council Chambers?

Oh, Angelo, will you grow up?

What did you do, become a member
of the GMP or something?

[ANGELO]
Hmm? Me? Never.

But somebody had
to check this guy out.

He was actin'
suspicious, you know?

[DANA] Zor is suffering
from severe memory loss,

and if he behaves
a little funny sometimes,

or even suspiciously,
what he needs from us

is a bit of compassion
and understanding.

- -Right?
- -[ANGELO] Well...

- -Hey!
- -l need to talk to Zor alone.

See you later.

Compassion for spies, hm?

Oh, boy.

Huh? The Revenge of the
Martian Mystery Women?

Yeah, it's a dynamite
movie; you'll love it.

And it won't cost you anything.

I got the tickets.

As a matter of fact,
they were pretty expensive.

[chuckles]

Hmm. How can I refuse, then?

Does that mean
you will come? Oh!

Oh, let's see, what'll I wear?

I don't know what
I would've done

if you hadn't said yes.

So, you are saying the
bioroid clones are limited

in their effectiveness,
is that it?

Precisely.

Their cerebral composition
makes them undependable.

They perform adequately
as shock troops,

but in order to prepare
for the Invid,

we'll need units
much more closely tied

to the Triumvirate.

Yes. That might explain
our problems with Zor Prime.

We've had some trouble with him.

His neuro-sensor--
it's been malfunctioning.

It seems the human trait
known as emotions

may be responsible
for the malfunction.

Yes, these emotions destabilize
the brain's functions.

Well, then?

You would like to be
given the opportunity

to carry out your
plan, no doubt?

Yes, My Lord. You need only
to give your approval.

[grunts]

[DANA grunts]
Did I ever wear this stuff?

[sighs] No.

Oh, why do they
all make me look

- -like I'm 12 years old?
- -[BOWIE groans]

Maybe something traditional.

- -Hmm. Bowie?
- -Ha. What? Oh, wow.

Well, it's, uh,
very, uh, well...

Ha. You're right,
it'll be perfect.

- -[BOWIE] Uh, yeah.
- -After all...

I shouldn't need
anything too provocative.

If a woman has to rely
on her clothes to--

- -Oh, Bowie.
- -[BOWIE] Huh?

Can't you see I'm
about to get dressed?

Were you planning to
stand there all night?

Come on, get out.

Mind your manners next time.

- -Bye.
- - [BOWIE] Lieutenant.

Hmph. Well, why did she call me
here in the first place?

[growls]

Bowie, can I help you?

[BOWIE] No. I mean, yes.
I mean, I'm going.

[DANA chuckles]

Hi, Zor, I'm here.
Hey, where are you?

[ANGELO] Well, well, aren't we
looking awfully chic tonight?

Angelo, have you seen
Zor around anywhere?

[ANGELO]
Hmm, it's a real pity.

I bet if he'd seen
you in that get-up,

he'd have never gone and
asked Nova out tonight.

He's with Nova?

Mm-hmm. He said
something 'bout dinner

and maybe the
theater afterwards?

[gasps] No. But he can't.

He couldn't have done
that to me, Angelo!

We had a date for tonight!

Hey, hey, don't go
bitin' my head off.

It ain't my fault.

That no-good two-timer.

I swear, I'll never be able
to trust an android again.

Now, come on,
the boy might behave

a little funny sometimes,

but all he needs
is a bit of compassion.

Do you remember that, ma'am?

Oh! Ah, I've got it. Hmm?

Huh? What happened?

I thought you'd be
a lot more upset.

Angie, why don't
you come with me,

you handsome hunk of man?

Well, where exactly
are you headed?

The Revenge of the
Martian Mystery Women.

Did you say, The Revenge
of the Martian Mystery Women?

Oh, good, you've
heard of it then?

- -Come on, let's go.
- -[ANGELO] Uh, thanks, ma'am.

But I think I'll
just pass. Okay?

You don't understand.
I'm giving you an order.

Ordering me?

Well, we don't
want these tickets

to go to waste, do we?

[ANGELO]
Hmm? Whew.

[CLONE MASTER] My Lord,
what I have warned you about

is finally coming to pass.

Our biosynergetic reservoirs
of Protoculture are running dry.

The effects of the deficiency
can be seen everywhere.

[CLONE MASTER] We are even
experiencing dangerously low

energy indexes in the
incubators housing

the newly formed clones.

Our weapon and
defense systems are

a constant drain
on our reserves

and the Protoculture fabricators

have grown
increasingly inefficient,

to the point that they are
now consuming more energy

than they create.

My Lord, I must tell you

that if we don't secure

an infusion of fresh
Protoculture, and soon,

then we are, all of us, doomed.

No, it is not our place
to decide how things must be.

Yes, it has been
decided for us.

That is our way, as it has been
since the beginning of time.

Yes, I know that.

We've been chosen
for each other,

and we must resign
ourselves to our fate.

But that doesn't change the
fact that we are strangers.

But what does that matter?

I don't know. I want so much
to accept their decision

and to believe that
our ways are right.

But something very
strange inside of me

keeps saying that
they cannot be right

if they make me feel this way.

You say they make you feel?

But, Musica...

It's madness!

[MUSICA]
Madness? No. Feelings.

I know they are supposed to be
completely alien to our race.

But I am guilty...
of... emotions.

Isn't that what the
human beings call it?

Musica!

I feel I must
be punished for it.

For I am... guilty. Yes.

I cannot deny my feelings.
I just can't.

- -[KARNO] Huh?
- -[CLONE 2] What?

[MUSICA whimpers]

[sobs]

Musica, what's that
you're doing there?

I think I know what it is.

It's a sickness of the
Earthlings called crying.

Oh!

[MUSICA]
Oh, if this is a sickness,

I know who is responsible
for infecting me with it.

It's Bowie.

[music playing]

[MUSICA] Bowie, do you suffer
the same sickness as 1?

[gasps]

[MUSICA]
Bowie.

Bowie.

[music playing]

[ANGELO laughing]

Boy, this is too much.
Look at them.

[DANA]
Oh, be quiet.

Sorry, ma'am, but this
is the stupidest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

So? Okay, so maybe
it's not a work of art,

but shut up, will you, Angelo?

[ANGELO] Oh, no,
they're going at it again.

- -Hmm?
- -[ALL laughing]

All right, that does it!
I've had enough of this!

- -We're getting out of here.
- -[ANGELO] Huh?

Ah, the zero hour.

- -[ZOR] Oh? Something important?
- -Huh?

Well, don't tell Dana
and the others,

but the relief force has
just taken off for the moon.

You mean, you'll come
to the movie with me?

Oh, Zor, you'll love it.

- -[ZOR] Huh?
- -[NOVA] Earth calling Zor.

[ZOR]
What?

Promise, not a word
of this to Dana.

She has the worst temper
I've ever seen.

Oh. Did I say that?
Oh, it must be the wine.

- -Excuse me.
- -[ZOR] Mm-hmm.

When she discovers that
her beloved 15th Squadron's

been left out of
another major operation,

that girl's gonna
absolutely blow her top.

Don't worry, I won't tell her.

In fact, no one's
supposed to know

that the relief fleet's
already on its way.

I shouldn't have
even told you about it.

[ZOR]
Hmm. Tell me, how many ships

are they bringing with them?

- -Well, I heard--
- -IDANA] There you are.

- -[BOTH] Huh?
- -[INOVA] Dana.

Just who the heck
do you think you are,

you double-dealing android?

What do you mean by dumping me

and taking out
someone like her?

Now, wait a minute, Dana,

I don't like the sound
of that "someone like her."

You're not supposed
to like it, you tramp,

it was an insult.

- -[NOVA growls]
- -Now, calm down, girls.

Hey, buddy, what
are you gonna do?

Just sit there like a lump
on a log, or what?

Huh? I'm sorry.

I don't feel well.

[DANA]
Zor, are you all right?

Hmph. Well, where I
come from, that kinda move

is called a cop-out.

[ZOR groaning]

[NOVA] The relief force
has just taken off

for the moon.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3] Message
received and understood.

[NARRATOR] On the other side
of Monument City,

the last units
of the emergency force

are lifting off
to join their comrades

on the relief mission.

[MAN] Orbital ascent
has been achieved.

You may fire rockets.

Air Cavalry-1,
your relief ships' ETA

ALuUCE station is five hours.

Maintain radio silence
until that time.

This is a "prime"
security mission.

Earth Command, out.

[MARIE]
We've received the signal.

The fleet is on its way
to relieve us.

Personnel not remaining behind,
prepare to evacuate.

The wounded will be the first
onto the transports.

And, men, keep your
fingers crossed.

If all goes well, we'll be home
before breakfast tomorrow.

[MARIE]
Home. To be on Earth again.

To be with Sean again.

[gasps]

Musica, what exactly is
the meaning of this behavior?

Do you not realize you're
jeopardizing our very existence?

Child, you will
explain yourself.

I'm sorry, I can't explain.

I don't mean to be disobedient.
Really, I don't.

But, in fact, you are
being disobedient, Musica.

There's no escaping that.

Oh.

Your mate has been
decided upon, my child.

You must submit to the decision.

You must realize that
the continued survival

of your own people
hangs in the balance.

Oh. No. No.

Hmm?

[CLONE MASTER 1]
Child, you will submit.

Your disobedience
cannot be tolerated.

Do you understand?

No. No. I don't.

[sighs]

[OCTAVIA]
Musica?

This is far worse
than I had imagined.

[KARNO]
Has she ceased to exist?

[CLONE MASTER 1]
No, she has fallen into

what the humans call a "faint."

[MAN] Sir, we are on
trajectory and on schedule.

If Lieutenant Crystal left
the moon when expected,

we should rendezvous with her
in approximately nine minutes.

Huh? Lieutenant.

Enemy ships spotted
at mark-seven-niner,

and they're approaching fast.

What?

[COMMANDER on PA] Battle
stations, battle stations.

Prepare for attack.

Close off this area. Hurry.

[MAN]
We've lost number three, sir.

[COMMANDER]
How could this have happened?

They were waiting, as if
they knew we were coming.

Scramble the Ajax choppers.

[MAN on PA]
You are cleared for launch.

Deploy at S-207 degrees,

intercept and destroy.

[PILOT]
Roger. Approaching deployment.

[COMMANDER] Air Cav-1
calling Lieutenant Crystal.

I am breaking radio
silence to request

your immediate assistance.

Lieutenant, we're
under heavy attack.

We urgently need
your immediate support

or we'll be finished.

Roger, Cavalry-1,
we're coming to help.

All units, full engines ahead.

Ajax pilots to battle stations,
prepare to scramble.

[MARIE]
It happened too fast.

How did the enemy find out

that the relief fleet
was on its way?

[PILOT]
This is insane.

Lieutenant Lucas,
this is War Maker 7.

We're hopelessly outnumbered
by these bioroid hovercraft.

I've lost half
my attack wing already.

I respectfully suggest we--

[screaming]

[LUCAS] War Maker 7, War Maker
7, come in. Are you there?

This is Lieutenant Lucas.
Are you there?

[LUCAS]
War Maker 7?

Oh, no.

[MARIE]
Lieutenant Lucas.

[LUCAS]
Lieutenant Crystal.

Lieutenant Crystal,
is that you?

[MARIE] Looks like this time
the settlers have come

to rescue the cavalry.

[MARIE]
Okay, guys, let's take 'em out.

[MARIE] Lieutenant Lucas,
now's your chance,

get to ALUCE-1 quickly.

[LUCAS]
But, Lieutenant, what about you?

[MARIE] Don't worry about us,
we'll be all right.

We'll keep the buzzards
pinned down.

Now get moving.

[LUCAS]
Okay. Thanks, Lieutenant.

Cavalry Squadron, disengage.

[MARIE]
They're heading after 'em.

Let's see what we
can do about that.

Battloid mode.

[MARIE] Good, they've all
gotten away safely.

[MARIE]
Let's get out of here.

You let them escape?

[COMMANDER]
I am afraid so, My Lord.

The information
received from Zor

mentioned only the existence
of Earth fleet

known as Cavalry-1.
Our attack worked perfectly,

and we would have succeeded
in destroying the enemy.

But the sudden arrival
of the force returning

from the moon
took us by surprise.

- -[ROBOTECH MASTER 1] Enough.
- -My Lord.

Well, then, I presume that is
all the evidence we need.

We know we can no longer depend
on Zor Prime's transmissions.

[CLONE MASTER 1]
That is correct, My Lord.

The bioroid clone
has been overexposed

to the emotional contagions
of humanity.

But there is a matter
of more immediate concern

to be discussed.

[ROBOTECH MASTER 3]
What is that?

Taking Musica as an example,

we are seeing an upsurge
in emotionality

and counter-productive behavior,

similar to what happened
to the Zentraedi

when they tried to recover
the Protoculture.

It seems to me
the time has arrived

to begin full production
of our Invid fighters.

Yes, My Lord.

I firmly believe
it's the best hope we have

of ensuring the survival
of our civilization.

[ALL]
Hmm.

My Lord?

Begin full production.

[NARRATOR] Back on Earth,
at the headquarters

of the high command,
congratulations are

the order of the day.

Lieutenant Marie Crystal
reporting, Commander.

The first assault wave
has returned.

Lieutenant Crystal.

I gather it's largely due
to your intervention

that Cavalry-1 made it
safely to the moon.

- -[LEONARD] Thank you.
- -Sir.

[MARIE]
Thank you very much, sir.

[DANA] There she is.
I told you she was back.

Sean, you came.

Oh, Sean.

Darlin', I thought
maybe we'd lost you.

[SEAN]
Marie, what's wrong?

[MARIE] Oh, Sean, I didn't
know if you cared.

[sobbing]

I'm yours, Marie.

I'll bet all his girlfriends
get the same line.

Hmm. Ma'am, now that
ain't very nice.

After all, that poor girl's been
through a pretty rough time.

Gentlemen, Cavalry-1
is in place.

Now begins the process
of transforming ALuUCE

into a military base.

Here on Earth,
we will simultaneously

begin preparations
for our second offensive

against the enemy fleet.

And, General Emerson,
I have a surprise for you.

Wha...?

[NARRATOR] Later, at the
barracks of the 15th Squadron...

- -Hey, have you heard?
- -[MEN] Huh?

Louie, calm down. What is it?

It's unbelievable,
is what it is.

[ANGELO]
Well, are you gonna tell us,

or are we supposed
to just sit here and guess?

[LOUIE]
I-It's most curious.

Spit it out! Don't dillydally.

Well, uh, the commander
of the second offensive

has just been appointed.

Yeah? So what? Who is it?

Um, well, you see...

It's very odd.

[ANGELO] Oh, for heaven's
sake. Come on, Louie.

They've appointed
General Emerson.

- -[BOWIE] Huh?
- -[DANA] What?

General Emerson?

[BOWIE growls]

Poor Bowie.

Imagine that. They've appointed
the chief of staff,

his own godfather, to lead
this dangerous offensive.

It's unbelievable.

[NARRATOR] In the next
episode of Robotech,

the intergalactic war
takes a backseat

as personal conflicts surface

in the Army
of the Southern Cross.

On the eve of a major battle,

Marie Crystal is
haunted by the vision

of her boyfriend, Sean Phillips,

fraternizing with
several beautiful women.

To Marie, the enemy has become
the green-eyed monster Jealousy.

She sets out on a
one-woman crusade

to paint the town red,
no matter what the cost.

Be sure to watch
for "Love Song,"

the next dramatic chapter
in the unfolding story

of Robotech.
