00:02:02Whoa.
00:02:03That infant hive is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
00:02:09Alex, will you stop that humming?
00:02:21Yeah, sure thing, Marcus.
00:02:23Alex, would you please get serious?
00:02:31What the heck, buddy?
00:02:32You gotta relax.
00:02:33Heads up.
00:02:35Heads up.
00:02:36We've got an invit patrol approaching.
00:02:41Switch to guardian mode.
00:02:42We'll take cover in the debris field.
00:02:44Okay.
00:02:45Now hold your position, and we'll just drift with the debris.
00:02:51Okay.
00:02:52Now hold your position, and we'll just drift with the debris.
00:03:04Would you look at that?
00:03:05It's beautiful.
00:03:06You know, this is the closest I've ever been to Earth.
00:03:09It looks so peaceful.
00:03:10Yeah.
00:03:11Peaceful.
00:03:12But only from up here.
00:03:16Hard to believe it all started with a single event that brought robotechnology to Earth.
00:03:17It also brought waves of alien invaders looking for the secrets of proto-culture.
00:03:18The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:19The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:20The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:21The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:22The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:23It's beautiful.
00:03:24You know, this is the closest I've ever been to Earth.
00:03:25It looks so peaceful.
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27Peaceful.
00:03:28But only from up here.
00:03:31Hard to believe it all started with a single event that brought robotechnology to Earth.
00:03:41It also brought waves of alien invaders looking for the secrets of proto-culture.
00:03:46The power source behind robotechnology.
00:03:50The Earth was finally overrun by the INVID.
00:03:53A mysterious alien race obsessed with obtaining proto-culture.
00:03:58But nothing has ever stopped us from fighting for Earth's freedom.
00:04:02It didn't stop my sister Marlene, her boyfriend Scott Bernard, or the rest of the Mars division.
00:04:09Scott wanted to marry my sister once their mission to liberate the Earth was over.
00:04:14But the mission didn't end the way we wanted.
00:04:25They gave their lives trying to save a homeworld we never knew.
00:04:29And now it's up to those who were left to continue the fight.
00:04:40Take care, little brother.
00:04:42Next time we see you, it'll be on Earth.
00:04:44Goodbye, Marcus.
00:04:46Marcus?
00:04:48Marcus!
00:04:49Huh?
00:04:50Marcus!
00:04:51Marcus!
00:04:52Marcus!
00:04:53What do you mean?
00:04:54Hey, Alex!
00:04:55Wolf Recon, you're clear to land at Alice Bay 12.
00:04:59наверное, the
00:05:13Wolf Recon, you're clear to land at Alice Bay 12.
00:05:16Let's go.
00:05:30Woo-hoo! It's finally drinking time.
00:05:33It took you long enough.
00:05:47Whatever.
00:05:51You okay there, buddy?
00:05:53Yeah, I'm fine.
00:05:55Alex, have you ever thought about why we're doing all this?
00:06:03To impress the girls, right?
00:06:05The only girls we know are pilots like us.
00:06:08Here you go.
00:06:11Cola?
00:06:12What did you expect?
00:06:13You know, Marcus, you're way too serious.
00:06:16You need to lighten up, come on!
00:06:18Alright, alright.
00:06:25The humans have assembled their fleet to reclaim their homeworld.
00:06:46The final assault should begin soon.
00:06:51Excellent.
00:06:52Everything is transpiring as the awareness has foreseen.
00:07:03This tactical diagram is from our last recon flight over the Invid Hive at Reflex Point.
00:07:09All units will proceed to rendezvous coordinates at T Vector Delta.
00:07:14Attack Group 3 will remain behind in reserve, awaiting the arrival of Admiral Hunter.
00:07:18Attack Group 2 will continue to objective, using their shadow devices to avoid detection by Invid sensors.
00:07:25Group 1 is already in position on the planet's surface.
00:07:28We must wait until they have cleared a path to Reflex Point before the invasion can truly begin.
00:07:35Sir, what if they fail to knock out the Invid defense shields?
00:07:38If that happens, we will abort the invasion, and we may have no choice but to use the Neutron S missiles.
00:07:45But then we'd be decimating half the Earth just to defeat the Invid.
00:07:49But sir, there are still several million people living down there!
00:07:54Settle down, folks.
00:07:56I understand how you feel, but my orders come directly from Admiral Hunter.
00:08:00The domination of the Invid must be stopped.
00:08:03That means the Invid Hive at Reflex Point must be destroyed.
00:08:07Now prepare to move out.
00:08:08Yes, sir!
00:08:14Captain Grant?
00:08:15Sir?
00:08:16I'm concerned that Admiral Hunter and the SDF-3 still haven't arrived yet.
00:08:19With your permission, I'd like to take the Icarus and search for him.
00:08:22You want to search the galaxy until you find him?
00:08:24Admiral Hunter's my friend too, Vince, but we...
00:08:27General Reinhardt!
00:08:28Incoming eyes only transmission from the Omicron sector.
00:08:31It's the SDF-3!
00:08:33Haha, speak of the devil!
00:08:34Put it on the main screen, Sparks, and stay here, Captain.
00:08:37Yes, sir.
00:08:38Put him through, Sparks.
00:08:39This is SDF-3.
00:08:40Come in, Command-1.
00:08:42This is General Reinhardt.
00:08:43We read you, SDF-3.
00:08:45General...
00:08:46It's gonna be fearful.
00:08:49Dammit, Sparks!
00:08:50Can't we get a better transmission?
00:08:51We're trying, sir.
00:08:53According to Dr. Lang, the calculations on the latest Adenite technology weren't adding up.
00:08:57Janus agrees that they're running a field test.
00:09:00But it's taking longer than expected.
00:09:02Should we delay the attack until you arrive?
00:09:05Negative.
00:09:06You see this plan.
00:09:07We'll catch up.
00:09:09Rick, what's going on there?
00:09:10There's been an accident.
00:09:11I'm not sure when...
00:09:13Admiral?
00:09:14Rick!
00:09:15What in the hell?
00:09:16General, we have to launch a rescue mission.
00:09:18Okay then, Vince.
00:09:19Take the Icarus to the Omicron sector to find the Admiral.
00:09:22Make sure the Protoculture Matrix is safe.
00:09:25Yes, sir.
00:09:26Thank you, sir.
00:09:29And, Vince...
00:09:30Don't tell anyone but your crew about this.
00:09:33Understood, sir.
00:09:35Icarus, stand by for pre-flight.
00:09:36Captain on the bridge.
00:09:37Fire up the Protoculture, Louie.
00:09:38We're moving out.
00:09:39Technically, Captain, Protoculture isn't fired up.
00:09:40But I know what you mean.
00:09:41Listen up, everyone.
00:09:42We've got a change of orders.
00:09:43Are we leading the first attack wave, sir?
00:09:44Negative.
00:09:45Set course for Omicron sector, 3-5-J, Vector Delta.
00:09:48Omicron sector?
00:09:49Icarus, stand by for pre-flight.
00:09:52Captain on the bridge.
00:09:54Fire up the Protoculture, Louie.
00:09:56We're moving out.
00:09:57Technically, Captain, Protoculture isn't fired up.
00:10:00But I know what you mean.
00:10:03Listen up, everyone.
00:10:05We've got a change of orders.
00:10:06Are we leading the first attack wave, sir?
00:10:08Negative.
00:10:09Set course for Omicron sector, 3-5-J, Vector Delta.
00:10:13Omicron sector?
00:10:15Our orders are to locate and, if necessary,
00:10:17assist Admiral Hunter in the SDF-3.
00:10:19Aye, aye, sir.
00:10:29Icarus, you are cleared for departure.
00:10:43Activate shadow device.
00:10:49The last thing we need is for the Invid to spot us.
00:10:51Shadow device activated, sir.
00:10:53Shadow dimensional field now at full strength.
00:10:55Fold system, standing by.
00:10:57Execute hyperspace full jump.
00:11:00Yes, sir.
00:11:05Hang on, Rick. We're coming.
00:11:07We're coming.
00:11:15So, it has begun.
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18At long last, the vision of the awareness will be realized.
00:11:25Attention. Attention.
00:11:27All pilots are shadow fighters.
00:11:29This is a combat alert.
00:11:30All stations, we are at yellow alert.
00:11:33You like her? Go on, say something.
00:11:37Say, uh, that's a nice little skull on your flight suit there.
00:11:51You know, it's really no different than the skull in any other skull squadron flight suit.
00:11:55Loser!
00:12:00Uh, well, it looks especially good on you.
00:12:03You're right.
00:12:04Maybe one of these days you'll be lucky enough to wear one.
00:12:08That is, if you're good enough.
00:12:12Whoa, she's a tough one.
00:12:14Cute, but tough.
00:12:16I like your skull?
00:12:19What was that, buddy?
00:12:21It's all I could think of.
00:12:22You're hopeless.
00:12:25Wolf 3, you're clear to launch.
00:12:30Roger that, Control.
00:12:32Okay, Lieutenant Rush, this is it.
00:12:34Let's go out there and win this one for Mars Division.
00:12:36Yes, sir, Commander Taylor.
00:12:39Okay, Lieutenant Rush, this is it.
00:12:41Let's go out there and win this one for Mars Division.
00:12:42Yes, sir, Commander Taylor.
00:12:43Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:44Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:48Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:49Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:50Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:56Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:12:58Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:13:02Marlene, Scott, this one's for you.
00:13:20Invent approaching at vector 329.
00:13:21Vector 3-2-9-er.
00:13:26Synchro cannons, prepare to fire.
00:13:51All systems activate shadow devices. Proceed to attack coordinates.
00:13:56Shadow systems activated.
00:14:00Hey, now that the whole fleet is equipped with shadow technology, the NVID don't stand a chance.
00:14:06Yeah, but even if they can't see us, that still doesn't mean they can't hit us.
00:14:11Hey, no way, buddy. No one's gonna hit me.
00:14:14NVID deploying at Q Vector Theta.
00:14:21Attack Division 12, move to intercept.
00:14:28Wolf Leader to Wolf Squadron. All units engage.
00:14:34Oh yeah, six bogeys down and a single pass.
00:14:38Try and top that, Alex.
00:14:40Marcus, behind you! What?
00:14:43Holy shit.
00:14:44Relax, I got it.
00:14:46Oh yeah, six bogeys down and a single pass. Try and top that, Alex.
00:14:49Marcus, behind you! What?
00:14:51Holy shit.
00:14:53Relax, I got it.
00:14:55Holy shit.
00:14:58Relax, I got it.
00:15:00Are you loving it?
00:15:02Well, oh yeah, six bonkers might produce himself.
00:15:03No hair massacre while this is perfect.
00:15:22Chuof.
00:15:23Thanks, I owe you one.
00:15:25I owe you one.
00:15:27One?
00:15:28Look more like 24 to me.
00:15:30But, who's counting?
00:15:35Wow, she's some pilot.
00:15:37Yeah, well it helps when you've got a beta full of missiles.
00:15:46Blasted! Why in heaven's name haven't those troops taken out Reflex Point yet?
00:15:51Sir, the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Divisions have reported extremely heavy losses,
00:15:54and I can't raise the 14th at all.
00:15:59At this rate, we won't be able to hold out against them for more than a few hours or so.
00:16:03Contact Attack Group 1 on Earth now.
00:16:05Get me Captain Harrington.
00:16:06Not responding, sir.
00:16:07Commander Reynolds?
00:16:08Mm-mm.
00:16:09Well, damn it, find somebody!
00:16:11Anybody down there who can tell us what the hell is going on!
00:16:14This is Command 1 to Attack Group 1. Come in, please!
00:16:18Any unit, please respond!
00:16:20Command 1, this is Lieutenant Commander Scott Bernard.
00:16:2321st Combat Squadron, Mars Division.
00:16:26Who? Mars Division?
00:16:28I have it here, sir.
00:16:30He's been leading a resistance group on Earth.
00:16:32They've joined up with us to attack Reflex Point.
00:16:39Commander Bernard, what's the status of the first attack group?
00:16:42Have you taken Reflex Point yet?
00:16:44No, sir. We've encountered very heavy resistance. The Invid have repulsed our main attack. Recommend we fall back and regroup.
00:16:51We're sending down a squadron of Shadow Fighters to assist. We need to kill all the damned Invid.
00:16:56Kill them all? That means I need to find...
00:16:59There she is.
00:17:00Why is she going back into the hive?
00:17:09Wait!
00:17:14What are you doing here, Mars?
00:17:28Scott, despite all we have been through together, I know who I am now. I am Ariel, daughter of the Regis and princess of the Invid.
00:17:36Ariel... It doesn't matter to me whether you're human or Invid.
00:17:42It does matter, Scott. Only I can convince the Regis to stop this senseless conflict.
00:17:48You and I, we're proof that humans and Invid can coexist peacefully.
00:17:53The Regis doesn't believe that.
00:17:56Scott, I sense something that may change her mind, but I must go before it's too late.
00:18:01Then let me go with you.
00:18:03The Regis isn't very fond of humans, Scott. And I'll need to convince her myself.
00:18:08Then hurry. We don't have much time.
00:18:16That's gonna take some getting used to.
00:18:18So, Ariel, I see you have accepted your Invid form and chosen to join me in the core.
00:18:37Yes, Mother Regis. But only to implore you to end this struggle. The Invid and humans can coexist.
00:18:44Your exposure to the humans has clouded your mind. This world is where the flower of life, the source of all protoculture, blooms. This world would have sustained our people.
00:18:57But the protoculture on this world can sustain many people. Fighting these humans makes us no better than the children of the Shadow who drove us from our homeworld.
00:19:06The humans have aligned themselves with the children of the Shadow. Observe their new technology. Their vehicles are now invisible to our sensors. No. Coexistence with the humans is not possible. This planet too strongly retains the malignant spirit of the Robotech Masters. Whether one race or the other emerges victorious is of little meaning. Such hatred can only breed more hatred.
00:19:34Are you saying it will never end?
00:19:38My child. This conflict will rage from generation to generation. It is not what we seek. I shall proceed to the world that even now calls to me. We shall consume all the protoculture and rise to a higher plane.
00:19:54But the humans use protoculture as an energy source. Taking it would leave them helpless.
00:20:00My decision has been made. The protoculture is our life's blood. It belongs to us. We shall not leave it behind.
00:20:10Still no word from the Icarus or the STF-3, sir. Hmm. We've waited long enough. Move in attack group 3. Yes, sir.
00:20:20I never should have sent Grant on that damned rescue mission. We're going to need every ship we've got.
00:20:26Attack wave 3. Move out.
00:20:41Sir, I'm picking up strange gravitational readings. Recommend we adjust re-entry point to Omicron J Vector Theta. Helm.
00:20:49On it, Captain. Commencing default operation now.
00:21:04A black hole?
00:21:05This wasn't on the navigational computer, sir.
00:21:07Never mind that. We're the rescue mission, remember? Now full thrusters.
00:21:11Aye, aye. Full thrusters now.
00:21:17It's no use, sir. We're stuck in the gravity field.
00:21:20Can we fold out, Captain?
00:21:21With that strong a gravitational pull, there's no way to calculate where we'd end up.
00:21:25However, if we create a fold sphere utilizing the shadow device's dimensional shift field, we may be able to escape the black hole's gravitational field.
00:21:34Okay, crew. Let's give it a shot. Helmsman, follow Dr. Nichols' calculations to the letter.
00:21:38Actually, they're all numbers. There aren't any letters.
00:21:43Never mind.
00:21:49All set, sir.
00:21:53On my mark, execute the Nichols' maneuver. Now!
00:21:57Bolt sphere, losing integrity.
00:22:01Shadow dimensional field at 30%.
00:22:03Sir, we're almost out.
00:22:05Maintain course. Forward thrusters. Full power!
00:22:14Fold sphere has collapsed.
00:22:20We're clear.
00:22:22Nice work, Louie. Everyone. Now, damage report.
00:22:26Shadow device is completely inoperable. Fold systems are offline, but repairable.
00:22:31Get on it, Louie.
00:22:32I already am, sir.
00:22:33Sir, sensors have just picked up two ships adrift nearby. They are both ours. The science vessel Decalion and the SDF-3.
00:22:45Captain, we're receiving a short-range transmission. It's Admiral Hunter.
00:22:48Finally, some good news.
00:22:51Vince Grant, you old hotshot. I should've known you'd try a rescue mission.
00:22:55Admiral, what the hell happened?
00:22:57There's a big problem with the Neutron S missiles. Our test firing nearly destroyed both the SDF-3 and the Decalion.
00:23:04What's your status?
00:23:05We're in pretty bad shape. Most of the ship's propulsion, long-range communications and weapons systems are offline.
00:23:12We'll send over an engineering team.
00:23:14Negative, Vince. Our first priority is to warn the fleet about the missiles. They must not be used. Rescue the Decalion. The information aboard it is vital to us.
00:23:22Sir, what about the protoculture matrix aboard the SDF-3?
00:23:24This is much more important, Vince. We've discovered a critical flaw in the Neutron S missiles.
00:23:29I can't believe it.
00:23:31Under no circumstances should the fleet use the Neutron S missiles on Earth.
00:23:35Understood. Stand by, Admiral. Contact the fleet, priority channel. I need to talk to General Reinhardt right now.
00:23:42Yes, sir.
00:23:47What was that?
00:23:48It appears that we're under attack, sir.
00:23:50Oh, really? Thank you for the scientific analysis, doctor.
00:23:53Sir, there's nothing on my scope.
00:23:57Switch the visual.
00:23:59What the hell is that?
00:24:02I've never seen that configuration. They're definitely not in vid.
00:24:05It doesn't matter. Battle stations.
00:24:08Front alert! All hands to battle stations.
00:24:10Get Admiral Hunter back on the comm.
00:24:12Sir, short-range communications are now being jammed as well.
00:24:15Damn it!
00:24:16Louie, get the fold systems back online. We still have to warn the fleet.
00:24:19But if we can get close enough to the SDF-3, I think we can bring her and the Protoculture Matrix back with us.
00:24:25Wolf leader to Wolf squadron. Can't let the Invid get the upper hand. Now follow my lead.
00:24:35Wolf leader to Wolf squadron. Can't let the Invid get the upper hand.
00:24:42Wolf leader to Wolf squadron. Can't let the Invid get the upper hand. Now follow my lead.
00:24:47Now follow my lead.
00:25:08Huh?
00:25:09Look out Wolf leader! Behind you!
00:25:11Wolf leader to Wolf squadron.
00:25:17Commander Taylor!
00:25:18Commander Taylor!
00:25:27Commander Taylor!
00:25:28No!
00:25:29No!
00:25:41No!
00:25:42No!
00:25:56Sir! The Shadow Fighter squadrons are meeting intense opposition. We've just lost Commander Taylor. The Invid are overwhelming us!
00:26:02Sir, we've lost all contact with our ground forces.
00:26:06Then the attack against Reflex Point has failed.
00:26:10Well, sir?
00:26:11I have no choice.
00:26:13I want all our neutron missiles armed and ready for an immediate offensive on Reflex Point.
00:26:19Yes, sir!
00:26:20Yes, sir!
00:26:22I'm sorry.
00:26:52Now preparing Neutron S missiles for launch. T-minus 30 seconds and counting.
00:26:59What? They can't be serious. We still have troops down there.
00:27:03I know, but the Invit must be stopped at any cost.
00:27:08Neutron S missiles deployed. All units pull out.
00:27:25The final attack has begun, and a terrible error has been made. We shall not be defeated.
00:27:32What is it?
00:27:35I have seen this weapon before. The humans cannot possibly understand its destructive power. Their world will be destroyed.
00:27:45Mother, are you sure?
00:27:47Yes, but do not worry, my child. I will not give the children of the Shadow their victory over the Invit today.
00:27:55Now, Ariel, we must leave. Our destiny calls to us.
00:28:01I'm very sorry, Mother, but I cannot go. I believe there is a reason for me to stay.
00:28:07Ariel, be warned. If you choose to stay, your fate will be inexorably tied to the humans, and the shadows that will soon fall upon them.
00:28:17I understand all that, Mother, but I must stay here on Earth.
00:28:21Very well, my child. If that is your decision, so be it. I will intervene on your behalf.
00:28:30The humans have been influenced too strongly by the shadows of the Robotech Masters, and are intent only on the destruction of their entire race.
00:28:40It shall not be.
00:28:42It shall not be.
00:28:45They're leaving.
00:29:11She did it.
00:29:15Ered, my child, behold, the destruction of these weapons is my final gift to you and
00:29:28the world you so cherish.
00:29:31We will continue our evolutionary development elsewhere.
00:29:36Come with me, my children.
00:29:39Discard this world and follow the spirit of light as it beckons us onward.
00:29:44I don't believe it.
00:29:47They just fled.
00:29:49The damn Invid just ran away.
00:29:52That was too easy.
00:29:53That was all just too damn easy.
00:29:55You call that easy?
00:29:56Marcus, are you out of your head?
00:29:58It wasn't easy.
00:29:59Yeah, I agree that was a difficult battle.
00:30:02But I don't understand why the Invid suddenly retreated either.
00:30:06Attention!
00:30:07I don't understand why the fighters are to return to Moonbase for debriefing.
00:30:12An unexpected result.
00:30:13Once again, the Invid have escaped destruction.
00:30:16But our goals remain unchanged.
00:30:19The protoculture addicts must be eliminated.
00:30:22All those who use the power contained in the flower of life pose a potential threat to our domination.
00:30:28Now, receive my new instructions.
00:30:32Proceed with the tasks I have given you.
00:30:40More direct action is required.
00:30:48Are you ready to receive the tasks the awareness has set upon you?
00:30:52Yes.
00:30:53But what about the humans?
00:30:56All in due course.
00:30:59Hold steady.
00:31:12Docking clamps locked.
00:31:16The Deucalion is secure.
00:31:18Fold system back on line, sir.
00:31:19Good work, Louis.
00:31:21How soon can we have the SDF-3 within range of the Fold Sphere?
00:31:24Thirty seconds, sir.
00:31:26Maintain course.
00:31:26Set fold coordinates to return to Moonbase Alice in thirty seconds.
00:31:30Starting now.
00:31:31Coordinates are set, sir.
00:31:33Attention!
00:31:33Space fold in T-minus thirty seconds.
00:31:36Approaching SDF-3.
00:31:38Fifteen seconds to fold.
00:31:41SDF-3 now within range of Fold Sphere.
00:31:43Eight.
00:31:44Seven.
00:31:45Six.
00:31:46Five.
00:31:47Four.
00:31:48Three.
00:31:49Two.
00:31:50One.
00:31:56Five.
00:31:57Two.
00:31:58Three.
00:31:59Five, four.
00:32:00Three.
00:32:01One.
00:32:02Two.
00:32:03The SDF-3 has moved out of range, Captain.
00:32:06Shall I abort the Fold?
00:32:08No.
00:32:09We can't delay.
00:32:11We must warn the fleet!
00:32:12Amending space hold!
00:32:14Code皆 big.
00:32:17Mayday! Mayday! This is the SDF-3!
00:32:26Dammit Rick, I'm so sorry. Let's just hope there's still a fleet left to warn.
00:32:47Arial, I'll never be able to thank you for what you've done for the planet Earth.
00:33:09I like to think of it as my planet, too.
00:33:12You... you're here, but... why didn't you leave Earth with the rest of the Invid?
00:33:19This planet is the only home I've ever known, Scott. Now, weren't you going to thank me?
00:33:26Yes. Thanks. I have to rejoin the fleet. I'm sure they're going to attempt to find Admiral Hunter, and I have to be a part of it.
00:33:37Why? Scott, you've already done so much. Stay here on Earth, with me.
00:33:44Arial, you've proven to me that the Invid are not the evil race I thought they were. Now I have to convince the expeditionary force that your people should not be destroyed.
00:33:53Then let me come with you.
00:33:55It'll be safer for you on Earth. I've lost too many loved ones while at war, and I don't want to risk losing you.
00:34:04Does that mean that you love me?
00:34:07I... I promise... I'll be back.
00:34:16All of our damaged ships are now returning to Space Station Liberty for repairs.
00:34:28This will leave the Earth vulnerable, so we're still on alert. And to make matters even worse, the Invid took all of the planet's protoculture with them.
00:34:37The expeditionary force now has less than a year's supply remaining, and without the protoculture matrix from the SDF-3, it's impossible to create any more.
00:34:48What? Less than a year? How will we power our ships?
00:34:51That's the big picture, people. Your individual commanders will fill you in on the rest. Dismissed.
00:35:00Yeah. For those of you who still have commanders...
00:35:03I'm telling you, Alex, things would be a whole lot better if all those aliens were just wiped out.
00:35:08If every alien life-form was wiped out, you'd be dead by now.
00:35:12Oh yeah? What is that supposed to mean?
00:35:15I seem to recall saving you from the Invid. 24 of them, in fact. And I'm half-alien.
00:35:22But... but you don't look like... I mean, you don't look different. I mean, you don't look like an alien.
00:35:30Uh-huh.
00:35:32You'll have to excuse Marcus. He doesn't get out much. By the way, I'm Alex Romero, and you are?
00:35:38Lieutenant Commander Maya Sterling, Skull Leader. You're both Wolf Squadron. I'm sorry to hear about Commander Taylor.
00:35:46Thanks. He was a good man.
00:35:48Because of the heavy losses, General Reinhardt has decided to merge Wolf and Skull Squadrons.
00:35:53You'll be serving under me now, so you'll get to wear a little skull on your flight suit.
00:35:58Yes, sir. I mean, not... I mean, ma'am.
00:36:05Delighted, my lady.
00:36:07Watch your step, Lieutenant. I don't put up with lip from men under my command. Got it?
00:36:13Yes, ma'am.
00:36:15Too bad. I'd put up with her lips anytime, right, Marcus?
00:36:24No comment. I think we've already insulted our brand new CO one too many times, Alex, so don't push it.
00:36:31Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho. Marcus, you really like her, don't you, my friend?
00:36:36Does it matter? She's a commander. I'm a lieutenant.
00:36:39You give up too easy, buddy. Now listen, if I were you, I'd go in...
00:36:44Yellow alert. Unscheduled spacefold in progress.
00:36:47Now what's going on here?
00:36:59Where's the fleet?
00:37:00I don't know, sir, but the Earth is still here. That's good news.
00:37:04Unless...
00:37:06Three enemy fighters have followed us out of the spacefold.
00:37:08Everyone, back to your post. Try to contact Moonbase, Alice.
00:37:18Communications are still down.
00:37:20We won't be able to take many more hits like that.
00:37:28Captain, they're coming in for another pack.
00:37:31We've detected another fighter. It's one of ours.
00:37:33I don't know who you guys are, but you're sure not friendly. Still can't get a lock. So I'll have to keep doing it the old-fashioned way.
00:37:45Icarus, this is Moonbase, Alice. You okay up there?
00:37:59Sparks, get me General Reinhardt. Yes, sir.
00:38:03General, the Neutron S missiles have a serious flaw. They must not be fired.
00:38:09The Neutron S missiles have been destroyed, Captain.
00:38:13What? But how?
00:38:14Don't worry. You'll get a full debriefing after you've landed.
00:38:17Welcome back, Icarus. You're cleared to dock in Hangar Bay 2.
00:38:27Repair teams to Bay 2. Repair teams to Bay 2.
00:38:32All emergency personnel prepare to receive incoming wounded.
00:38:39Vince? Vince! Are you okay?
00:38:42We're alive, thanks to that pilot.
00:38:45Lieutenant Commander Scott Bernard, sir. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd lend a hand.
00:38:50Captain Grant, do you have any idea who or what was attacking you?
00:38:53No, General, I don't, but the SDF-3 is still back there. I need to find the Admiral.
00:38:57The first place you're going is the infirmary. I think you've broken your leg. Medical team?
00:39:07But Admiral Hunter is-
00:39:08Listen to your wife, Captain.
00:39:10Besides, if the SDF-3 was able to fold, it would probably head to Space Station Liberty for repairs.
00:39:17So that means you're coming with me to the infirmary.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:27Thank you, Commander Bernard. You're welcome, sir.
00:39:34Bernard? Scott Bernard? Scott, my god, is it really you?
00:39:39Marcus? Marcus Rush?
00:39:42I can't believe it!
00:39:44Neither can I. Look at you.
00:39:47But Scott, I thought you- the whole Mars division- were wiped out.
00:39:51You're alive and you're here. What about Marlene? Did she-
00:39:56I'm sorry, Marcus. She didn't make it. I would have traded my life for hers if I could. I-
00:40:02I- I know. Seeing you, I just- I just hoped... It's so good to see you, Scott.
00:40:10It's good to see you, too. How have you been?
00:40:13Well, I became a pilot. This is my wingman, Alex Romero.
00:40:17Great to meet you, Commander.
00:40:18Hey, would you like to go grab a drink with us?
00:40:20I'd like that. Do you mind if I get cleaned up first?
00:40:23No problem. And let's get you a new uniform.
00:40:25I want the Icarus repaired and back in action as soon as possible.
00:40:28Yes, sir.
00:40:34Uh, sir, I'd like to request assistance salvaging data from the Deucalion. Admiral Hunter said there is vital information aboard.
00:40:41I'll have Commander Sterling assist you. Report your findings back to me, Doctor.
00:40:51Wow.
00:40:52No survivors. Was the SDF-3 this badly damaged?
00:40:56No. However, it did sustain major damage from the test firing.
00:41:02Whoa. This must be Janice. She's beautiful.
00:41:08She's a robot. And she looks broken.
00:41:15Did I do that?
00:41:16Perhaps she's merely damaged. Let me see.
00:41:20There has been a terrible error. We must warn the fleet.
00:41:37Don't worry. It's okay. The fleet's not in any danger.
00:41:40The Invit are gone. They fled.
00:41:42You misunderstand me. It is the Neutron S missiles that pose the threat.
00:41:48They've been taken care of as well.
00:41:50Oh.
00:41:54What about the crew? Did anyone else survive?
00:41:57No. Here. Let me help you.
00:42:02Identity. Dr. Lewis Nichols.
00:42:08Yes. Yes, that's me.
00:42:10Yes. I will need your help.
00:42:13Oh. Oh no. This can't be happening again.
00:42:28Your fate is now tied to the humans on this planet.
00:42:43But beware. The children of the Shadow will soon fall upon them.
00:42:48Just as they did to our people long ago.
00:42:52They will stop at nothing to destroy those who use protoculture.
00:42:55The humans cannot anticipate their deceit, their cunning, or their destructive power.
00:43:06The children of the Shadow are going to attack the humans.
00:43:10I must try to warn Scott.
00:43:12Well, apart from a few bad memory blocks, you look to be okay.
00:43:27Thank you for assisting me with my diagnostic.
00:43:30What can I say? I've always had a thing for machines.
00:43:33Not that I think you're just a machine.
00:43:35But I am a machine.
00:43:36And in many ways, machines are superior to you humans.
00:43:40I'm guessing you're superior to any machine I've ever, um...
00:43:44So, maybe you can fill me in on something I don't understand.
00:43:48How very human of you.
00:43:50Uh, yes. Now the Neutron S missiles, how could they even be constructed if some of the calculations didn't work?
00:44:01Well, first you must understand that much of the design was based on Haydenite technology.
00:44:06Diagnostic check completed.
00:44:07Now I really don't understand what you're talking about. What's Haydenite technology?
00:44:14Technology from the Haydenites, of course.
00:44:17Right.
00:44:19Keep going, I'm just a human, remember?
00:44:21The Haydenites are a highly advanced cybernetic race.
00:44:25Admiral Hunter forged an alliance with during the Robotech expedition.
00:44:28Since then, the Haydenites have shared much of their technology with us.
00:44:32Many of our latest advances are because of them.
00:44:34But an alliance with an advanced alien race is really good news, isn't it? Why doesn't everybody know about this?
00:44:40It was at the request of the Haydenites.
00:44:43They have lived quietly in peace for centuries and prefer to limit their involvement with any other races.
00:44:49And yet they're helping us with our war against the Invid?
00:44:52They too have suffered at the hand of the Invid. I believe that is why they are so secretive now.
00:44:57So then, how do you fit into all this?
00:44:58Because of the Haydenites' desire for solitude, I was created from both human and Haydenite technology to serve as an emissary.
00:45:07So they gave you information and it was up to the Robotechnologists to sort it all out?
00:45:12Correct. And everything appeared to be working perfectly until now.
00:45:16I don't understand. I am unable to account for these inconsistencies.
00:45:25Well then, maybe you could use a break. Or at least I need a break. There has to be some sort of a connection, but my human brain needs more time to process all of this new information.
00:45:34Then, may I accompany you on your break? I find human companionship to be most interesting.
00:45:42No, no, no. That's okay. You can stay and continue accounting for all the inconsistencies.
00:45:47Dr. Nichols, we've just finished the modif-
00:45:50Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:45:55Oh, no. You're not interrupting anything, Commander. We were just... I mean, you were saying...
00:46:00We finished the modifications you requested for Skull Squadron. I was wondering if you needed anything else.
00:46:06Actually, yes. I need to know how to get to the mess hall.
00:46:11The mess hall is on level five, but the Officers Club really has better food. I was about to go there myself. Care to join me?
00:46:18Lead on, Commander. Come on, Janice.
00:46:21I hope the food's better than the singing.
00:46:31No, you're not the only one.
00:46:42Hey, Commander Bernard. Try some of this. It's a brand new alien drink. They call it Zarepa.
00:46:46What's in it?
00:46:49Scott, you really don't want to know.
00:46:51Drink up!
00:46:55That's terrible.
00:46:56Why didn't you contact anyone from the Expeditionary Force while you were back on Earth?
00:47:00Believe me, if I'd have been able to contact the fleet, I would have.
00:47:05The past two years, I've been fighting with a small resistance force. We forced the Invid's hand at Reflex Point.
00:47:10No kidding, Commander Bernard. You were actually at Reflex Point? Commander Sterling! Would you please join us?
00:47:18At ease.
00:47:27Marcus, Alex, this is Dr. Louis Nichols, Robotech Engineer for the Icarus.
00:47:33And you're Lieutenant Commander Scott Bernard, the man who saved the Icarus.
00:47:38Scott was also part of the Resistance Force on Earth that defeated the Invid.
00:47:41I bet you saw a lot of action.
00:47:43Yep. The Invid were nothing if not persistent.
00:47:47So how many of those green-blooded maggots did you kill?
00:47:50Uh, I have no idea. Why?
00:47:52Remember when you and Marlene gave me this?
00:47:56Yeah. That was a long time ago.
00:47:59It's become my tribute to you and Marlene. Check it out.
00:48:02For every Invid I've killed, I carved a little notch. Counting the last battle, I've personally killed 29 Invid.
00:48:10That's, um, something. Uh...
00:48:13Scott.
00:48:14Uh, um...
00:48:16Uh, Ariel? What are you doing here?
00:48:19I need to talk to you.
00:48:22Uh, everyone, this is Ariel. She was a member of the Resistance Force I fought with on Earth.
00:48:28Then have a seat, Ariel. Any foe of the Invid is a friend of mine.
00:48:37I've killed 29 Invid.
00:48:40Scott.
00:48:41We should probably go. Excuse us.
00:48:47That was abrupt.
00:48:49Maybe it's the singing. Huh?
00:48:52Janice?
00:48:54Dream of you late at night.
00:49:00What do you do?
00:49:05When I turn up the light.
00:49:11No matter who I touch.
00:49:13Wow. She's really pretty good. Who is she?
00:49:16She's my assistant.
00:49:18She's wonderful, isn't she?
00:49:20Yeah, she is. Check her out.
00:49:23She's not your type, Marcus.
00:49:25How would you know?
00:49:26A woman's intuition.
00:49:29Huh?
00:49:30What?
00:49:31Hey, don't look at me, buddy. You heard the lady. Trust a woman's intuition.
00:49:39Look, I'm gonna go get another drink.
00:49:43Hey, Marcus.
00:49:44Shh.
00:49:47I'm sorry if I startled you, Scott, but you're the only one I can trust.
00:49:50But do you have any idea how dangerous it is for you to be here?
00:49:54Everyone on this base has orders to kill Invid on sight.
00:49:57I've had another vision, Scott.
00:49:59The children of the Shadow are coming.
00:50:01They will attack your fleet. A space station will be destroyed.
00:50:05Wait, I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:50:08I'll show you.
00:50:13Remember when we first met?
00:50:15I didn't even know who or what I was, really.
00:50:18Only now am I learning what I am and what I'm capable of.
00:50:31Whoa.
00:50:32What is this place?
00:50:34This is the Invid's first home world.
00:50:36It was devastated long ago by the children of the Shadow.
00:50:40That's terrifying.
00:50:42But why are you showing me all this?
00:50:45Because this may be humanity's fate if you continue to trust the children of the Shadow.
00:50:50What are you saying? I don't even know who the children of the Shadow are.
00:50:53But your people possess their technology.
00:50:55The Regis recognized it during the battle for Earth.
00:50:58That is why the Invid fled.
00:51:00Wait a minute. Are you telling me that these children of the Shadow are somehow responsible for creating the new Shadow technology?
00:51:09Only because it serves their plans.
00:51:12Look around, Scott.
00:51:14This is what the children of the Shadow do to civilizations who use protoculture.
00:51:19But why?
00:51:20Because they fear its awesome power.
00:51:28After my sister died, Rick and I were like brothers.
00:51:31I owe him so much. I can never repay him.
00:51:34He believed in me, made me a captain, and the one chance I had to help him, I failed.
00:51:41You didn't fail. You did exactly what he asked you to do. You returned to warn the fleet.
00:51:45By the time we got back, the battle was over, and now we're in desperate need of protoculture.
00:51:51Damn it!
00:51:53Don't beat yourself up about it, Vince.
00:51:56Rick has a knack for cheating death.
00:51:58I have a feeling he's okay. Call it a wife's intuition.
00:52:03Hmm.
00:52:09Doctor?
00:52:10Uh, ahem. I've just fused the captain's legs, sir. Provided he doesn't put too much weight on it.
00:52:17All right, I promise you I won't.
00:52:19Vince, you better not.
00:52:20Now I'll leave you two to talk.
00:52:22Thank you, Gene.
00:52:24Any word from Admiral Hunter?
00:52:27Nothing.
00:52:29Once the Icarus is repaired, you can return to Omicron Sector.
00:52:32I've reassigned Lieutenant Commander Sterling's Skull Squadron to assist with the search.
00:52:37It'll be good to have her aboard.
00:52:39Did Louis recover anything useful from the science vessel?
00:52:43As a matter of fact, he recovered an android. Her name is Janice.
00:52:46Did she say what's wrong with the Neutron-S missiles?
00:52:48Not yet, but that's fairly irrelevant now.
00:52:52The only Neutron-S missiles we have left are still in space dock at Space Station Liberty.
00:52:57And just moving them would use more protoculture than we can afford.
00:53:01Then our real concern is recovering the protoculture matrix from the SDF-3.
00:53:06Yes, exactly. Which is why you need to rest now.
00:53:09Once the Icarus is ready to go, I'll need you in top form.
00:53:13I won't let you down, sir.
00:53:14I'm sure you won't, Captain.
00:53:18Please, Scott. Promise me you'll warn your people.
00:53:24I'll try.
00:53:27Hey, Commander Bernard. Is that girl from Earth still here?
00:53:30Huh?
00:53:31Scott, look out! She's in bed!
00:53:33Marcus, wait! You don't understand. Ariel's a friend.
00:53:36A friend?
00:53:37No!
00:53:51You...
00:53:52You're a traitor! How could you do this?
00:53:54Now I know how you survived the Mars Division massacre.
00:53:56You must have sold them out to the NVID!
00:53:58I bet you even killed Marlene!
00:54:00But...
00:54:02You're crazy! I loved your sister!
00:54:05Marcus, you gotta back off.
00:54:07This won't bring Marlene back.
00:54:09He's not worth being court-martialed for.
00:54:14Yeah, you're right, partner. He's not.
00:54:17Alex...
00:54:20Thanks.
00:54:21Don't thank me.
00:54:23I just don't want Marcus to get busted for killing a superior officer.
00:54:26Even one who's assisting an NVID spy.
00:54:29What? I...
00:54:30Save your explanations for General Reinhardt.
00:54:33Shh!
00:54:37Shh!
00:54:41A warning, you say?
00:54:43Yes. I believe the aliens that attacked Captain Grant are going to attack a space station.
00:54:48Maybe Liberty.
00:54:49And this is the same source that told you the Neutron-S missiles were created by aliens?
00:54:54I told you before, the NVID fled because they recognized the Neutron-S missiles as weapons used by their old foes.
00:55:00An alien race called the Children of the Shadow.
00:55:03Children of the Shadow?
00:55:05Look, I don't know if that's their real name. That's what the NVID call them.
00:55:09You seem to know a great deal about the NVID. Why is that?
00:55:13We're getting nowhere with this.
00:55:16Look, it's kinda difficult to explain. While on Earth, I gained an NVID contact.
00:55:22Yeah, NVID contact my ass.
00:55:24But how else would he know that Neutron-S missiles were a gift from an alien race?
00:55:27He's been stuck on Earth for two years.
00:55:30He's been brainwashed by the NVID. After all, the Haydenites are their enemy.
00:55:35The NVID want to confuse us, maybe to lure the fleet away from whatever their real target is.
00:55:40Sir, I think we should at least warn the fleet. What if Scott's information about the impending attack is accurate?
00:55:45It's just some sort of NVID trick. The Haydenites are our allies. Why would they scheme against humanity when they've helped us in our war against the NVID?
00:55:54General Reinhardt, sir. We have lost all communication with Space Station Liberty.
00:55:58Damn it!
00:55:59I guess the interrogation is over.
00:56:12Status report, Sparks. Communications with the base are being jammed.
00:56:16I recognize the modulation of the jamming signal. Wait a second!
00:56:20Is this true?
00:56:23Yes, that's correct.
00:56:25That's it! Sir, it's the same aliens that attacked us in the Omicron sector.
00:56:30If that's the case, General, we should investigate immediately.
00:56:33Agreed. Now get going, Vince.
00:56:35Janice, I want you to accompany the Captain.
00:56:37I'm afraid our new enemy may be an acquaintance of yours.
00:56:40So, Scott, how much do you trust this NVID you befriended?
00:56:52I trust her completely, sir, and her name is Ariel.
00:56:55Please, you must believe us.
00:56:58Hmm? So you're Ariel.
00:57:01The race you call the Haydenites are the children of the Shadow, and they will destroy humanity.
00:57:06Sir, they destroyed the NVID homeworld. I've seen it myself.
00:57:10How did you know they were going to attack Space Station Liberty?
00:57:13Why should we believe you?
00:57:15I see things. Just go there and see for yourself.
00:57:20Okay, no time to lose. Scott, I want you and Ariel to join me on the bridge of the Icarus.
00:57:25Allow me.
00:57:32Does she do that a lot?
00:57:40All ship's shadow devices are active. First combat defense line now engaging enemy ships.
00:57:48The battle fortress containing the Protoculture Matrix is not among them.
00:57:49While this was not foreseen, we are to destroy them regardless.
00:57:50The battle fortress containing the Protoculture Matrix is not among them.
00:57:51While this was not foreseen, we are to destroy them regardless.
00:57:55No.
00:57:56The battle fortress is not among them.
00:57:58If we are to destroy them regardless.
00:58:02The battle fortress containing the Protoculture Matrix is not among them.
00:58:04The Battle Fortress containing the Protoculture Matrix is not among them.
00:58:09While this was not foreseen, we are to destroy them regardless.
00:58:34Damage reports coming in. All sections reporting heavy casualties.
00:58:39No! The first combat defense line has been completely annihilated!
00:58:42That's impossible!
00:58:43Captain?
00:58:44Prepare to fire synchro cannons!
00:58:47All ships prepare to fire main guns!
00:58:55Synchro cannons online and ready to fire!
00:58:58Initialize Disruptor Wave.
00:59:04Captain! We've got an energy malfunction in the synchro cannon!
00:59:10Can we fire?
00:59:11Negative! It's not responding!
00:59:29This is proving to be even easier than the awareness had foreseen.
00:59:34Another human vessel has been detected unfolding nearby.
00:59:37Excellent! Its destruction will add to the success of our mission.
00:59:44Skull Squadron! Launch when ready!
00:59:46One hit and our ships just explode! How is that possible?
01:00:00Estimating losses at 89%, sir.
01:00:04Can you get me the fleet, Commander?
01:00:06Still unable to raise the fleet or space station liberty, Captain.
01:00:10Damn!
01:00:11Hmm.
01:00:14Full stop!
01:00:15Sir?
01:00:17Full stop!
01:00:18I'm not about to dive into a battle just so we can get slaughtered.
01:00:21Aye aye, sir. Full stop!
01:00:27Any idea what we're up against?
01:00:29They are the children of the Shadow. The Haydenites, I told you.
01:00:32If they are Haydenite ships, they do not resemble any I have seen.
01:00:36Sir, we need a better look at the enemy's weaponry.
01:00:40More information would be useful.
01:00:43I assume communications with Skull Squadron are jammed.
01:00:45No, sir. We have full communications with our fighters.
01:00:47Captain Grant! After analyzing the enemy's jamming techniques,
01:00:51I retrofitted our communications to an amplitude modulation.
01:00:54It's only good for short-range communications, but...
01:00:57You never cease to amaze me, Louie.
01:00:59Get Skull Leader on the horn.
01:01:01It's actually just called a horn because...
01:01:03Stop it!
01:01:04Yes, sir.
01:01:10Okay, Skull Squadron. Keep up.
01:01:12Captain Grant needs a better look at the enemy weaponry.
01:01:15So we're going on a little recon mission.
01:01:18Activate your data transmitters and just follow me.
01:01:26Why are we always stuck when recon, Marcus?
01:01:29Just follow orders, Alex.
01:01:32Knock off the chatter, O'Meara,
01:01:34or else you're gonna find yourself in a world of hurt.
01:01:37Hey, buddy. That might be fun.
01:01:39Oh, please. Alex, will you give it a rest already?
01:01:43Now approaching Robotech fleet. Look sharp.
01:01:48I'm picking up a power surge from the carrier up ahead.
01:01:56Hey, guys. I've never seen anything like that.
01:02:06Damn it, Louie. Give me something to go on! Soldiers are dying out there!
01:02:09Somehow, the enemy's energy wave caused the ship's reflex furnace to overload and then implode.
01:02:15But that should not happen. According to my data, the shadow dimensional field completely shields the power source of the ship.
01:02:22Unless there's something wrong with the shadow device.
01:02:26Of course. Shut down all the shadow devices!
01:02:29Sir?
01:02:30Now! Switch to maneuvering thrusters. Pull us away from the combat zone and into Space Station Liberty.
01:02:35And have our fighters do the same.
01:02:38All fighters, disengage shadow device and fall back to Space Station Liberty.
01:02:42Skull-Eater Icarus. What's going on, Captain?
01:02:45The shadow device has been compromised. That's why the fleet's getting slaughtered. Now fall back!
01:02:49Understood. Skull Squadron, deactivate shadow devices and fall back to Space Station Liberty.
01:02:59Commander Sterling, enemy ships are in pursuit and gaining.
01:03:02I can't get a weapons lock on them.
01:03:04No problem, Skull-Ear. I'll take care of them.
01:03:10Okay, boys. Let's see you avoid a blast from my synchro cannon.
01:03:19Huh?
01:03:27What the hell?
01:03:28System fair.
01:03:30Alex, something's wrong with your synchro cannon. I know, I know!
01:03:35Alright, Skull Squadron, jettison synchro cannon modules immediately.
01:03:39Repeat, jettison synchro cannon modules immediately!
01:03:46Mine isn't responding.
01:03:47Alex, what are you doing?
01:03:49Those enemy fighters are coming in too fast.
01:03:51You'll never make it back to Space Station Liberty alive!
01:03:54Alex, don't do this!
01:03:56Don't worry. I've got it all taken care of, buddy.
01:03:59Be sure to have us a rave on me.
01:04:05Alex, eject! That's an order!
01:04:08Sorry, my lady. Can't hear you.
01:04:17No!
01:04:18Damn you, Alex!
01:04:19No!
01:04:21Skull Leader, what's going on out there?
01:04:23We've lost Lieutenant Romero, sir.
01:04:25The enemy's energy wave appears to have the same effect on our synchro cannons.
01:04:27Louie, deactivate the...
01:04:28Already on it, sir. Synchro cannon offline.
01:04:30Maya, head for Liberty's mecha hangar and ditch those Shadow Fighters.
01:04:34God knows what else is wrong with them.
01:04:35Yes, sir.
01:04:36Dammit!
01:04:37We've been completely double-crossed.
01:04:38We've been completely double-crossed.
01:04:39We've been completely double-crossed.
01:04:40No!
01:04:41Everything the Haydenites have given us have some sort of Trojan horse built into it.
01:04:43Ariel was right.
01:04:44They don't want to just get rid of the Invid.
01:04:45They want to get rid of us as well.
01:04:46Hmm.
01:04:47Hmm.
01:04:48Hmm.
01:04:49Hmm.
01:04:50Hmm.
01:04:51Hmm.
01:04:52Hmm.
01:04:53Hmm.
01:04:54Hmm.
01:04:55Hmm.
01:04:56Hmm.
01:04:57Hmm.
01:04:58Hmm.
01:04:59Hmm.
01:05:00Hmm.
01:05:01Hmm.
01:05:02Hmm.
01:05:03Hmm.
01:05:04Hmm.
01:05:05Hmm.
01:05:06Hmm.
01:05:07Hmm.
01:05:08Hmm.
01:05:09Hmm.
01:05:10Hmm.
01:05:11Hmm.
01:05:12Hmm.
01:05:13Hmm.
01:05:14Hmm.
01:05:15Hmm.
01:05:16Hmm.
01:05:17Hmm.
01:05:18Hmm.
01:05:19Hmm.
01:05:20Hmm.
01:05:21Hmm.
01:05:22Hmm.
01:05:23Hmm.
01:05:24Hmm.
01:05:25Hmm.
01:05:26Hmm.
01:05:27Hmm.
01:05:28Hmm.
01:05:29Hmm.
01:05:30Hmm.
01:05:31Hmm.
01:05:32Hmm.
01:05:33Hmm.
01:05:34Hmm.
01:05:35Hmm.
01:05:36Hmm.
01:05:37Hmm.
01:05:38Hmm.
01:05:39Hmm.
01:05:40With all due respect, Captain, I went over the calculations with Janice myself. I don't believe she could possibly...
01:05:46Easy, Louie. If I didn't know you better, you'd be arrested too.
01:05:52Several human ships are retreating.
01:05:55Clearly, they do not yet comprehend that their entire race is doomed.
01:06:00Our victory today will mark the rise of a new epoch for the Eight Knights.
01:06:05The electromagnetic signature of the hybrid has been detected aboard one of the retreating ships.
01:06:11The hybrid is here? This was not foreseen. She might prove too valuable a resource for the humans.
01:06:19Lead a detachment of elite fighters to infiltrate the human ship.
01:06:23Extract the hybrid and obtain the location of the protoculture matrix.
01:06:29Or, if necessary, eliminate her.
01:06:33Approaching Space Station Liberty.
01:06:54Space Station Liberty to Icarus. You're clear to dock.
01:06:57Louie, search the shipyard registry. We need to trade the Icarus for something without shadow technology.
01:07:04Well, all I can find is the Archangel, but it's only a colony ship. Minimal armaments.
01:07:10It'll have to do.
01:07:12Dock with the Archangel. Tell the crew to evacuate everyone on the station to the Archangel.
01:07:17There may be a slight problem, Captain. The Archangel's reflex furnace is offline.
01:07:21Well, can you get it online?
01:07:25I believe so, but it'll take an hour, maybe more.
01:07:29Get me school leader.
01:07:32Commander Sterling, what's your status?
01:07:33We're in the Mecha Hangar, attempting to assemble a new fighter squadron.
01:07:37What are these?
01:07:47They're super shadow fighters. Prototypes that have not yet had shadow devices implemented.
01:07:54What good are these going to be without shadow tech systems?
01:07:57They're faster and more maneuverable, and their weapon systems pack a big punch.
01:08:01Otherwise, they're just like the old Alphas.
01:08:03We're just going to have to go back to the old basic seat-of-your-pants dogfighting skills.
01:08:07Skill over technology, boys.
01:08:10Yeah, just because we can't see them on our scopes doesn't mean we can't hit them.
01:08:14Let's saddle up.
01:08:23Think you can use them to hold off the attackers for an hour?
01:08:25We'll do our best, sir.
01:08:26Okay, Louie, you've got an hour.
01:08:30Yes, sir.
01:08:46We are now docking with the Archangel.
01:08:49My team and I will need to get to the Archangel's engine room as quickly as possible.
01:08:53I think I can help there.
01:08:56Wow, near instantaneous molecular teleportation.
01:09:06That would make for a fascinating invention.
01:09:09But the Archangel's reflex furnace will have to come first.
01:09:14Most impressive.
01:09:15We can use your help evacuating the station.
01:09:18Of course.
01:09:18Should I help with the evacuation as well, sir?
01:09:22No, Scott, you're with me.
01:09:26All hands, evacuate to the Archangel immediately.
01:09:30One ship doesn't stand a chance against the Haydenites.
01:09:32But Lieutenant Romero's final act of bravery has given me an idea.
01:09:37I've got a feeling I'm not going to like this.
01:09:41Probably not.
01:09:42We're going to set off a Neutron S missile inside the space station.
01:09:46And blow the whole thing up?
01:09:47The blast radius is big enough that it will take out the enemy fleet as well.
01:09:51It's the best shot that we have.
01:09:53Sir, I'll activate it myself.
01:09:55You go aboard the Archangel and...
01:09:57Hey, who's giving the orders here?
01:09:59Sir, only a senior officer can activate a Neutron S missile.
01:10:03At least we built that safeguard into them.
01:10:07Besides, when else will I get a chance to try out these new Cyclones?
01:10:10Just don't tell my wife I've been riding one.
01:10:15No, sir.
01:10:23Captain Grant wants to make sure the prisoner is secured aboard the Archangel before the rest of the Icarus is evacuated.
01:10:29This way.
01:10:29Security reached in Sector 7G.
01:10:48Security reached in Sector 7G.
01:10:50Open fire!
01:10:54You will come with us now.
01:11:09I want to know why your people lied to me about the technology I passed on to the humans.
01:11:14You were provided only what was needed to fulfill your purpose.
01:11:17Now you will give us the location of the Protoculture Matrix.
01:11:20It appears not all is as you had foreseen.
01:11:24Therefore, I refuse.
01:11:26Then you become expendable.
01:11:36Organics are no match for the mechanized might of the Hade Knights.
01:11:41Guess we'll see about that.
01:11:54This means nothing.
01:12:18All those who embrace Protoculture are doomed.
01:12:23We shall be fair.
01:12:28Not today.
01:12:29Thanks for the assist.
01:12:38You saved me.
01:12:39Well, I figure if the Hade Knights want you dead, that's a good reason to keep you alive.
01:12:43The Hade Knights have betrayed me as much as they have betrayed you, Captain.
01:12:46Then I guess you'll need to escape on the Archangel like everyone else.
01:12:50I'm sure Dr. Nichols could use your help in the engine room.
01:12:53All right, everyone.
01:12:57We might be flying different mecha now, but we're still the same squadron.
01:13:02Okay, Skull Squadron.
01:13:03Follow my lead.
01:13:12Incoming enemy fighters.
01:13:14Okay, let's see how well they fight when they can't cheat.
01:13:18Visual targeting systems activated.
01:13:20Relax, I got it.
01:13:47Okay?
01:13:48Mm-hmm.
01:13:50This is for Alex!
01:14:09Are you sure we didn't pass it?
01:14:10Yes.
01:14:11It should be just ahead.
01:14:12Yes.
01:14:20Damn, those are the Neutron S-missiles?
01:14:26Yep.
01:14:27They're a little hard to miss, aren't they?
01:14:30Now I understand why we can't just launch these right at them.
01:14:33Yeah, they certainly would see these coming.
01:14:35All this technology and they can't put it in an elevator?
01:14:40Easy there, Captain.
01:14:45I was beginning to wonder why you needed me to come along.
01:14:49Now watch your leg.
01:14:50If we make it out of this alive, my wife's gonna kill me.
01:14:55Looking forward to it, sir.
01:14:56Please confirm authorization.
01:15:03Captain Vincent S. Grant.
01:15:05Serial number RXF-030185.
01:15:14Identity confirmed.
01:15:16Neutron S-missile armed and activated.
01:15:29Let's get the hell out of here!
01:15:31Detonation of Neutron S's forehead in ten minutes.
01:15:34Detonation of Neutron S's forehead in nine minutes.
01:15:54The power output is now sufficient for operation of the hyperspace volt system.
01:16:00Evacuation complete, sir.
01:16:02Louis, status report.
01:16:04The reflex furnace is online.
01:16:08I just hope the rest of this ship is space-worthy.
01:16:11We will find out soon enough.
01:16:30Now departing Space Station Liberty.
01:16:32A colony vessel appears to be attempting an escape.
01:16:36We cannot allow them to get away.
01:16:40Cut off its escape route and eliminate it.
01:16:46Sir, the enemy fleet is closing in.
01:16:48Stay close.
01:16:49I don't want to leave anyone behind.
01:16:51Commander, I need you to hold off the enemy just a little longer so we can clear the station's gravity field and engage the fold system.
01:17:01Understood.
01:17:02Skull Squadron, let's clear a trail for these things.
01:17:05Detonation of Neutron S's warheads in sixty seconds.
01:17:17We've cleared the space station's gravitational field. Standing by to fold.
01:17:22Have Skull Squadron return to fold perimeter immediately.
01:17:25Maya, there are too many of them!
01:17:44Keep cool, Marcus.
01:17:53I ain't got all of it!
01:17:56My stabilizers are out!
01:17:58Hang on, I got you!
01:18:09Skull Eater, ejectate!
01:18:10I got you!
01:18:32I'm hit!
01:18:33Marcus, your thrusters are out!
01:18:34Don't worry, Commander. I know what I'm doing.
01:18:37I hope.
01:18:40Marcus, no!
01:18:43It's okay!
01:18:44They won't get me without a fight!
01:18:46Aaaaaah!
01:18:57Detonation of Neutron S's warhead in fifteen seconds.
01:19:00Get us out of here.
01:19:02Aye, sir. Activating space fold drive.
01:19:04If this fold doesn't work, Ariel, I just wanted you to know that...
01:19:15I promise I'll be back.
01:19:21I love you.
01:19:22Detonation of Neutron S's warhead in four, three, two, one.
01:19:42We have a Neutron weapon detonation.
01:19:44This was not foreseen.
01:19:46Quickly, initiate space fold and...
01:19:49This was not foreseen.
01:19:50Quickly, initiate space fold and...
01:19:52It's beautiful.
01:19:57It's beautiful.
01:20:09Where am I?
01:20:14Wait.
01:20:15Is that...
01:20:16Is that...
01:20:17Marlene?
01:20:19Is that really you?
01:20:20It is.
01:20:21I can't believe it.
01:20:23Big sister, I've missed you so much.
01:20:25I know, and you have been brave.
01:20:27But it's not your time yet, Marcus.
01:20:30Please don't leave me again.
01:20:32You're all I've got.
01:20:33I'll always be with you, Marcus.
01:20:36No, wait!
01:20:46Marlene!
01:20:48Marlene!
01:20:51No.
01:20:53I am Ariel, daughter of the Regis.
01:20:56Princess of the Envid.
01:20:58You?
01:21:00You saved my life.
01:21:03Why?
01:21:03You know I hate the Envid.
01:21:07Hatred can only breed more hatred.
01:21:10It is not what we seek.
01:21:12Any of us.
01:21:21Archangel now entering Earth orbit.
01:21:22See you.
01:21:31Based on the information we now have from Janus,
01:21:34the SDF-3 may not have been destroyed after all.
01:21:37Our best hope of winning this war
01:21:38is to recover the Protoculture Matrix
01:21:40before the Haydenites do.
01:21:43And with a little luck,
01:21:44Admiral Hunter will be there waiting.
01:21:45Agreed.
01:21:46I'm confident the Archangel is in capable hands.
01:21:49Good luck on your new mission, Captain Grant.
01:21:51Thank you, sir.
01:21:54Marcus, I just wanted to say thank you
01:21:56for rescuing me out there.
01:21:57We're even now.
01:22:00I'm sorry about Alex.
01:22:02I know he was a good friend.
01:22:05Yes.
01:22:06He was.
01:22:06It seems like everyone I'm close to gets taken by war.
01:22:12My sister.
01:22:15My best friend.
01:22:17Yeah, I know how you feel.
01:22:19Most of my family was aboard the SDF-3.
01:22:22I don't even know if they're still alive.
01:22:24He owes you his life.
01:22:28True.
01:22:28Perhaps now it will make him value the lives of others.
01:22:32I'm glad you'll be joining the crew of the Archangel, Ariel.
01:22:35So, you don't want me to wait for you on Earth anymore?
01:22:38Mm-mm-mm.
01:22:47Are you okay, Janice?
01:22:50I am... confused.
01:22:53Well, actually, that's very human of you.
01:22:56That's what's confusing me.
01:22:59Don't worry about it.
01:23:00We'll work it out.
01:23:02Somehow, I know.
01:23:03We will win.
01:23:05We will win.
01:23:06Life is only what we choose to make it.
01:23:15Let us take it.
01:23:19Let us be great.
01:23:36Let us be great.
01:23:41Let us be great.
