[NARRATOR] Up to now,
the Robotech Masters'

main problem in recovering
the last known supply

of Protoculture
has been restricted

to a constant battle

with The Army of
the Southern Cross.

Recent loses by Earth forces
did little to dissuade

the valiant troops of the
United Earth Government

and on the eve
of yet another attack,

the Robotech Masters
have detected a new

and more deadly threat:

an Invid sensor nebula.

With the appearance
of this migrant gaseous cloud

that scans the universe
in search of Protoculture,

the Robotech Masters'
worst fears might be realized.

That the Invid will be coming

to consume their
"Flower of Life."

[OFFICER]
This is 7-Alpha.

We're realigning
weight distribution

from starboard to port.

Scanning altitude is
approximately 24,000 kilometers,

showing no sign
of intrusion.

Sector five scan results
are also negative.

Location of the Robotech ship
is 36,000 kilometers.

Yes. And defense
plan A is complete.

Good. Tell them to stand by
in first alert position.

Yes, sir.

[ROCHELLE]
Attention, Spacecraft Force

and all flagships.

Stand by in first
alert position.

I repeat. Stand by in
first alert position.

[ROLF]
I wish there was some way

we could get to Moon base Luna

without having to battle
the bioroids.

But we have to be
prepared for anything.

[DANA]
Wow! This is fun!

Yay!

- -[BOWIE] Nice playing, Dana.
- -[DANA] Thanks.

- -[LOUIE] Not bad.
- -Not bad?

Well, why don't we bet
a chocolate bar on that.

Be my guest.

Let's make that
two chocolate bars.

It's a game I made myself.

I'll even give you a handicap

and take a thousand
points off my score.

[LOUIE] I'll teach you to tangle
with Louie the Invincible.

Here we go!

What?

[ALL laugh, chatter]

[LOUIE]
Huh?

[LOUIE chuckles]
There must be a few bugs in it.

- -It's hopeless.
- -Apparently.

Two chocolate bars.

[LOUIE]
Ehh, not yet.

[DANA]
Come on, Louie. Give up.

Blam, blam, blam!

[LOUIE]
Ohh!

Hey, Louie, you end up
with a negative score.

I don't understand.
It was perfect before.

What's wrong?

I won. You lost the bet.

Sorry. Better luck next time.

[LOUIE]
Uh...

You may have programmed
the game, Louie,

but you'll be beaten every time

unless you aim
at the bull's-eye.

What do you think I'm hitting?!

[ALL laugh]

Huh? Bowie?

I think I'll be going now.
See you later. Bye.

[DANA] What's keeping you
out so late these days?

Ah, you know how it is.
I'm just playing piano.

Playing the piano.

That's about all that boy
can think about anymore.

It's the single life.
That's what he's running from.

No. The problem is
he's still a kid.

Oh! The second lieutenant

is beginning to talk
like an officer.

Sean, Don't you
get smart with me!

Ouch! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[SEAN laughs]

[grunts]

[ROLF]
Attention.

Earth Defense Corp
and all flagships.

Stand by in second
alert position

until further orders are given.

Repeat.

Earth Defense Corp
and all flagships.

Stand by in second
alert position

until further orders are given.

[RADAR TECH] Monitors indicate
that we are now entering

the outer fringe of the nebula.

[ROLF]
Hm?

[RADAR TECH] The Robotech
Masters' ship is now

on the main screen.

- -There it is!
- -Their command ship.

Let's widen the monitor field.

Monitor field
increased by 120, sir.

Do their movements
indicate an attack?

The monitors indicate
no sign of attack.

Their movements
are strictly routine.

The only movement we detect
is in that gaseous nebula.

The Robotech ship
shows no activity.

Let's move in now
with a surprise attack.

Not so fast.

Our first and foremost goal
is to orbit Moon base Luna.

Right.

What is our current altitude?

38,000 kilometers.
We are 2,000 kilometers

from escaping the
edge of the nebula.

[PILOT] Everything looks
calm from out here.

[RADAR TECH]
Two thousand kilometers.

One thousand. Five hundred.

Four hundred. Three hundred.

Two hundred. One hundred.

Fifty. Twenty. Ten. Zero.

Ah! We've passed it.

Stand by in the
third alert position

but keep your eyes
on that Robotech ship.

[ALIEN] Masters!
Attention, Robotech Masters.

The Southern Cross
Earth Defense Corps

heading toward the moon
has passed Nebula Area 21.

They must be relieved
to have passed our zone

without confrontation.

Prepare to destroy them.

[DANA]
Huh?

[LOUIE]
I'm going to get back

those two candy bars
I lost to you.

Just one more little adjustment
and you're in for a surprise.

[DANA]
Come on, Louie. You can't beat

a born warrior like me.

Not even with all
your technological tricks.

You think so, huh?

Of course the plan begins
at Moon base orbit,

but nobody knows
what might happen.

[MAN]
Hey, look at what he's doing.

Huh?

[clamoring]

[BOTH]
Huh?

[LOUIE]
All right!

You haven't missed
one bioroid at all.

- -[DANA] Hey! Great!
- -[LOUIE] Phew!

You like that?

It's perfect.

It seems as if there's
a machine gun

built right into your glasses.

Exactly!

The glasses pick up
the movements

of my pupils and
respond with impulses

which program the memory
in the cartridge.

The cartridge remembers
the patterns on my pupils

producing a
recognizable firing zone

which is activated by
organic impulses produced

when my pupils intercept

the reflected light
from the target.

Spare me the details,
please, Louie.

What do you call that?

I call it Nichol's Special
Vision Track Firing System.

Abbreviated VTFS.

Or if you prefer,
the "Pupil Pistol."

- -[MAN 1] Excuse me.
- -[DANA, LOUIE] Huh?

I wonder if I could
examine that instrument?

Uh, what can I do for you?

May I see the cassette?

What for? Why?

Because...

[BOTH]
Hmm.

...I'd like to try it.

[MAN 2] Let's check it out
and see what we have.

[MAN 1]
Hmm!

[MAN 2]
Fairly complex circuitry.

This device could be
very useful in the plan.

Yeah.

You're in the A-L-P-H-A Tactical
Armored Corps, aren't you?

Who's your commander?

- -l am, sir.
- -[IMAN 1] Hmm?

This guy, he's real bright.

May I please borrow him?

What?

[MAN 2] Oops. Excuse me.
I'm Major Cromwell, ma'am.

Robotech Department.

We'll be more than
happy to lend you

our assistance and equipment.

We'll help you
upgrade your device.

Our staff will be at
your complete disposal.

But why? What for?

Nichols, we can use you.

Your device will
play a crucial role

in our simulation training.

I'll meet you in my office
tomorrow at 1300 hours.

I'm looking forward
to it. Goodbye.

[DANA gasps]

[DANA]
Louie, give me a hug!

I'll be happy to but...

I'm so proud of my brainy boy.

That was good work.

Yes.

[MAN] Tristar ship is now
approaching the orbital zone.

Tristar arrival time is
approximately 2200 hours

and ten minutes,
Earth standard time.

Retract main gun machinery

and prepare for gradual
descent onto Moon base Luna.

[ROLF] I'd like to
discuss the strategy

we'll use on Moon base Luna.

- -Come to my office.
- -[ROCHELLE/GREEN] Right.

Wha...?

Radar has picked up an object
that has not identified itself.

[ALL]
What?

The unidentified object
is approaching

very rapidly from
the Northeast sector.

There are others appearing
on my primary monitor.

I'm switching immediately
to the main panel.

[BOTH]
Hmm.

Their location?

They have us surrounded, sir.

[ROLF]
Enter into first stage alert.

We could be in for trouble.

Keep all artillery
in standby position.

Get yourselves ready for battle
but do not begin firing.

What are the possibilities of
breaking through the enemy net?

In our current formation,
estimate 20 percent.

All right.
Proceed to the starboard,

approximately 30
degrees at full speed.

We're going to break through
the enemy's barricade

They have read our move,
and their bioroid reinforcements

are counterattacking.

The enemy is sending
out an attack force

from their bioroid squadron.

What the...?

General, we have to do something

and whatever it is,
we'd better do it fast!

All cosmic tactical
battalions, attack!

Let's move out.
This is not a drill.

[MARIE]
It's now or never, gang.

Attack with everything
you've got.

Go get 'em.

[MARIE] Let's surprise 'em
and try something new.

All ships change into
cosmo-attack configuration.

[ROLF] I hope we make
it through this one.

Hey, doesn't that get boring?

Uh... no, not really.

Not you, Bowie. Those two.

They must be working day
and night without any sleep.

How do they do it?
And why?

I'm not positive
Major Cromwell wants

the device merely
for simulation training?

What's next?

I don't need you anymore, Dana.

[DANA]
Hmph! I'm not going.

I'll bet I'm good at
building machinery,

even better than you are.

[LOUIE] Your motivation
is self-centered,

not like a true genius.

Listen, Louie. You're not much
better than I am, you know.

[LOUIE] Ah, but you see,
Lieutenant,

I just like machines.

Machines can be made to do
anything that humans can't do.

Someday, I'll make a
machine that enhances life

by supplementing
all human inadequacies,

thereby creating
an ideal society.

Well, what do you know?
You're such a romantic.

Just positive thinking.
Final check is okay.

[DANA]
Now what?

Now we begin the ultimate test.

[DANA]
Let me do it, Louie.

Sure. This one won't
let you make a mistake.

[LOUIE]
Just press the master switch

and pull the lever
on the lower left.

[DANA]
Hmm.

Your vision accompanied by
your own personal computer

will help you to
find the target.

[DANA]
Oh, wow!

The possibility of missing
the bioroid the first time

is approximately eight percent,
but if you do,

two shots will be fired
simultaneously right after.

[DANA] This is absolutely
incredible, Louie!

[grunts]

We won't be able to
hold up very much longer

under the power of
these blasts, General.

Yes, General, we must
have reinforcements.

That's impossible.
We are the only ship

capable of sustaining
this orbit.

What will we do?

First, we've got to determine

our exact orbit time
and orbital location.

We are at Lagrange Point Six

approximately 20,000
kilometers from Mars.

Orbital time is 2300
hours and 30 minutes.

Now what?

There may be
a possibility, Colonel,

that we can create a phenomenon
known as "the molecular vacuum."

I've heard of that, General.
That's where space

within a radius of two
kilometers can be warped.

Yes, and what happens

to non-orbital
objects in that space?

They'd almost certainly
break up into atoms

and be sucked into
a small black hole

on a one-way trip
into another dimension.

But, no!

Yes. Attention, all ships
of the Defense Force.

Lead all bioroids within
two kilometers of us.

Get them as close
to our ship as you can

before 2300 hours
Earth standard time.

We'll try to blast them
into the afterworld forever

with a molecular vacuum.

Uh, wait.

Even if we do blast the
enemy into the black hole,

we might be sucked in
right along with them.

We can't jeopardize the lives
of our crew members like that.

I know that. But we either
have to take that chance

or be blown to
bits right here.

We must do it. Now.

Stand by for the warp blast.
Start countdown immediately.

[MARIE] 2230? That only
gives us 30 minutes.

Get those bioroids
rounded up no matter what.

Only 20 more minutes
till orbital blast.

[MAN 2]
Second trigger lock on.

[ROLF]
Good luck, pilots.

[MARIE]
Caine. Jason.

The bioroids in sectors
D2 and D3 aren't moving.

Lead them in with a rear attack.

[AMOS]
Commander. This is Amos.

I've got four
bioroids on my tail

and I can't shake them.

They're getting closer
every second.

[MARIE]
Don't panic, Amos.

Just hold on and
I'll be right there.

We have less than
five minutes left!

Bioroids in position,
70 percent.

[AMOS] I can't hold them
off much longer. Oh, no!

[MARIE] Amos. Are you all right?
What's happening?

[AMOS]
Commander!

[MAN 1] Three more minutes
to orbital warp blast.

[MAN 2] Bioroids in position,
88.5 percent.

Attention, all ships, attention.

Clear out of the
orbital flux area

as quickly as possible.

We've got 13 seconds
to orbital warp blast.

[MAN 1]
Ten. Nine. Eight.

Seven. Six. Five.

Four. Three. Two. One.

- -[MARIE gasps]
- -Zero!

[MARIE]
Chief Emerson?

[MAN 3] Commander, what happened
to our mother ship?

[MARIE]
Don't worry. It'll be back.

[MARIE gasps, grunts]

[MARIE] Darn. There was
one battleship left!

[MARIE]
What?

[MARIE]
It's back.

[ALL chattering excitedly]

[sighs]

It's all over.

[MARIE] Emerson,
you may be stubborn,

but I actually
began to miss you.

[NARRATOR] With the blasting
of the Robotech Masters

into hyperspace

and the atmosphere back on
Earth tense and expectant,

the situation relaxes somewhat,
at least for now.

You mean it's
really finished?

That's just great.
You've both worked very hard.

You are to be commended.
Thanks so much--

[DANA] Don't be so darn
sheepish, Louie, you made it.

You can be sure we'll only use

the Pupil Pistol for
its designed purpose.

Yes, sir.

Good, Major.
That will please him.

That was Major Cromwell.

Mass production
of the new equipment

for space combat has begun.

- -Good.
- -Now we can start preparations

for the invasion plan.

What time is Rolf Emerson
expected to be at our location?

Sir, Emerson has used
quite a bit of fuel

in the warp blast maneuver.

But he will probably be back
sometime tomorrow morning.

Hmm. Gentlemen, our plan of
invading the enemy battleship

with the help of Moon base Luna
must remain a priority mission.

[DANA]
Come here, everyone.

Why must you always work?

Why do you always complain?

Because we're still on our
lunch break, that's why.

I'm here.

Your friend Rolf, I mean,
Chief of Staff Emerson,

has arrived at Moon base Luna.

[BOWIE]
Hmm. Wonderful.

Now the invasion plan can begin.

Gee, Bowie.
Don't be so happy.

They were only blasted
into another dimension.

Fortunately, they got back okay.

I'm sure that's gratifying
to Commander Leonard!

Huh?

Let's move on. Could you give us
our orders, please, Lieutenant?

The 15th Armored
Tactical Space Corps

is going to invade
the alien battleship

the day after tomorrow.

[SEAN scoffs]

You expect us to fight them
out in space? Get real.

Do you believe this?

Our hovertanks have
been totally remodeled

for space combat.

I want your battloids checked
and double-checked. Move it!

[LOUIE] But they're
totally different machines.

Wow! These babies
could give fighting

a whole new thrill. Great.

Yeah, and this time I'll be
able to keep an eye on Marie.

How have the computer programs
been changed for the mission?

Hmm.

[gasps]

[LOUIE]
It can't be!

Uh... this is my program.

Good. You're all here.

First Lieutenant Brown!

I'll be participating
on this mission also.

You mean you're coming too, sir?

This battle will be one of the
greatest missions of all time.

I'll prove to General Emerson
what a brave officer I am.

Oh, Louie. Is it true?

I heard this new system
was your brainstorm.

[DANA]
Brainstorm? You mean the game?

It's no game, it's a system

that's been integrated
into the weaponry

to help fight the bioroids.

[DANA]
What?

[LOUIE whimpers]
I didn't know.

They told me it was
for simulation training.

Wow! What a beauty!

This thing is more like
a murder weapon

to use against bioroids

than a tool for
training recruits.

[whines]

- -Shut up, Sean.
- -I'm not going!

There are humans like us
in that bioroid machinery.

I'll have no part of it.

[sighs]

[DANA]
Oh, wow!

It works!

We're not surprised.

Oh, Louie.

[grunts]

Huh? Wait!

- -[ZOR] Huh?
- -[BOWIE] Hey!

[LOUIE] Stand back. This system
wasn't designed for murder.

And I won't let it
be used for murder.

No, Louie, it's a mistake,
don't be mad.

Our hovertanks have saved
your life many times.

- -Go ahead, Louie.
- -What?

If you can't do it, then I will.

Huh?

They lied.

Well, you're setting
a great example.

You're supposed to be
the commander here!

[DANA]
Stay out of my way!

I'm part of this too but...

...NO More.

[gasps]

[ZOR] Dana, I understand
how you feel,

and believe me I know the pain

a bioroid goes through
when they revive.

I'll be aboard
this hovertank.

Some of my friends
might die.

I don't want
any more deaths,

but the new machine
is our best hope.

Now put that gun down.

Okay, Zor.

But why? Tell me why.

It's because we must succeed

in our mission of
invading the battleship.

You know that's
our only sure means

of achieving peace.

[LOUIE]
That's a lie.

Louie, wait!

[ZOR]
He doesn't understand.

[BOWIE]
Poor Louie.

[DANA]
Oh, Louie.

I wish there were something
I could do to change all this.

How can I make it clear to you?

I guess I'll never be able to.

I have the report, My Lord.

Mass production of the new

armored bioroid
fighter is complete.

This is a magnificent example
of advanced mecha.

Utterly invincible.

The humans' battloids
will be totally worthless

against the awesome power
of the Invid fighter.

And finally, the Protoculture
will be within our grasp.

[NARRATOR] In the next
episode of Robotech,

a battle rages between
the Robotech Masters

and the entire
Interstellar Fleet

of the United Earth Government.

It is a crucial battle
which could decide

the fate of the
two civilizations.

Utilizing advanced weaponry
and fighting with renewed vigor,

the stage is set
for a battle royale.

Be watching for "Mind Games,"

the next thrilling chapter
in the amazing odyssey

of Robotech.
