------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narration:      In the year 2045 :
                The 37th Ultra Long Distance Emigration Fleet centred around
                the Number 7 Neo-Macross Class Ship; it has battled time and
                time again with the mysterious Balautas on its way towards the
                centre of the galaxy.

                And, in the year 2046 :
                This story takes place alongside such battles...


-------------------------------------(06)-------------------------------------

[Voice] :       Macross 7, Macross 7, This is Patrol Fleet Kara-09.

                Approaching at reduced speed, due to arrive in 40 minutes.


-------------------------------------(07)-------------------------------------

[Voice] :       Requesting guidance to docking.


-------------------------------------(09)-------------------------------------

Soldier:        L... Lieutenant Mahara,

                Ru... Rumours are that you will be retiring after this patrol.

                Is that true?

Mahara:         Why do you ask?

Soldier:        It's erm, er,

                It's a shame, that,...


-------------------------------------(10)-------------------------------------

Soldier:        Of course, I'm referring to your abilities!!

Mahara:         Did you actually want something?

Soldier:        I'm sorry Lieutenant! A person has been waiting over there
                for a while..

                Er... may I have your autograph?


-------------------------------------(11)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Please excuse the mess,

                I wanted to take all my belongings with me...

Guy with Tache: Oh no, excuse me for suddenly turning up.

                I was worried to hear that you are retiring. 

                Thought you might have decided to quit because you still had
                'the accident' on your mind.


-------------------------------------(12)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         That too, but..

                Once a battle starts...

                I have no confidence I'm going to survive. 

Tache:          Truly a shame. That 'accident' was not your fault.

                Not at all!

Tache:          Leaving the past aside, what are you going to do from now on?

Mahara:         I might watch the event taking place at City 7.

                Switch my mind over to something else...


-------------------------------------(13)-------------------------------------

Tache:          Excellent timing. I'll take you there.

                Just because you've become an ordinary civilian,

                It's a little sad having to use the 'hoshinote-sen', don't you
                think...

Note:           Hoshinote-sen : The rail network that runs through Macross
                Star City's Dome Square. The carriages, with a silver body and
                green belt, are divided into three classes. Just like today's
                "Yamanote-sen", it is known as the "Feet of the people"

Tache:          There was a line in an old novel "Through the long tunnel at
                the borders, it was snowland",

                But surrounded by inky black space there are no sentiment as
                such.

                The other side of the tunnel is just like the other side of
                the dome.
  (unknown meaning -K.K.)


-------------------------------------(14)-------------------------------------

Tache:          It would be okay if it was snowing, but...


-------------------------------------(15)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Yes, acceptable if snowing from the sky..(=space)

Tache:          Even if it was the dome's ceiling falling?

                Women seem to be easily affected,

Mahara:         Wh... what the? It couldn't be...

Tache:          Women seem to be easily affected by the mood and atmosphere..

Mahara:         So you still do... (fault me for the 'accident')


-------------------------------------(16)-------------------------------------

Tache:          No, you have no responsibility over the 'accident'

                However... to see that you are unaware of your danger

                Is really most unfortunate!!

Tache:          [To the driver] Do as you wish with her,

                So long as you finish her off.


-------------------------------------(17)-------------------------------------

Driver:         Make it look like it was an accident?

                Chief?

Tache:          Must you clarify everything?

Driver:         I'm still inexperienced, you see.

                But,

                She's, ...

  (Looking at Mahara's thighs)
Tache:          Idiot! Keep your eye on the road!


-------------------------------------(18)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Kiiiiiiiii~ ('Screeeeech')


-------------------------------------(19)-------------------------------------

Driver:         Ahh! it's a good thing neither of us was injured...

Sfx:            ~Foooooo~ (Sound of Siva's blades)


-------------------------------------(20)-------------------------------------

Driver:         You bastard! Air Blading on the road is illegal!

Siva:           Well, shall we sort it out properly then?

                You've been speeding, paying little attention to the road...  

                Who's to blame then, eh?

Driver:         Why, you brat...

Tache:          No no, I'm sorry, it was our fault

Tache:          Because of my inconsiderate driver...


-------------------------------------(21)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Pi pi pi~ (Buttons)
                ~Kashan~ (Sliding sound)

Tache:          Will you forget about this, please 

                I prefer to avoid any hassle...

                Waste of time as well...


-------------------------------------(22)-------------------------------------

Tache:          You be careful of cars too...

Driver:         Brat...

Sfx:            ~Purorororo...~ (Car sounds)


-------------------------------------(23)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Gu~
                ~Fuon~ (Sound of blades)


-------------------------------------(24)-------------------------------------

Driver:         I'd hate to waste the opportunity (to rape her), but...

                I wouldn't want to feel guilty later.

                Blame the president, not me!

Sfx:            ~Ban!~ (Door slamming)


-------------------------------------(26)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Foo...~
                ~Fon...~ (Blades sounds)

Driver:         That brat...


-------------------------------------(27)-------------------------------------

Siva:           Wake up, obasan!!
  (Obasan is sort of a rude thing to call a woman who is only 27!
   "Auntie" would be a direct translation)

                Obasan!

Sfx:            ~Booo~ (Car sounds)

Siva:           Daft old woman!


-------------------------------------(29)-------------------------------------

Driver:         Shit!


-------------------------------------(30)-------------------------------------

Siva:           N...

Mahara:         uhhn...

                !!


-------------------------------------(31)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Kyaaaaaa!!~ (Girlish scream)

Mahara:         Who the hell are you??



-------------------------------------(32)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         So you sort of saved my life?

Siva:           Whadda you mean 'sort of'?

Mahara:         I heard someone calling from the distance..

Siva:           (old) lady!

Mahara:         That's it exactly!!

                And "daft old woman"!!

Siva:           Oh, it must of been that driver..

                Yup, no damage, lucky!

Sfx:            ~Pi~


-------------------------------------(33)-------------------------------------

(Siva:          Hup!)

Siva:           So what are you gonna do now, ol' lady?

Mahara:         I wanted to go to the 20th century memorial city sector,

                But..

Siva:           You're truly lucky, Obasan!


-------------------------------------(34)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         You know, can you stop calling me Obasan...

                I'm only 27!

Siva:           I'm Siva, 17! Siva Midou. 

Mahara:         Who asked for your bloody name!

                Isn't this illegal, anyway !?

Siva:           You can walk if you prefer?


-------------------------------------(35)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Enough chatting, hurry!

Siva:           Don't face forward, the wind will squash your face!

Mahara:         How about yourself?

Siva:           I'm okay, I'm handsome.

Mahara:         What is WRONG with you?
  (like Zoe from Cybill fashion -KK)


-------------------------------------(36)-------------------------------------

Narration:      This over-sized emigration ship, Macross 7, consists of two
                blocks. The frontal, containing defence and power systems,
                the BATTLE 7, and the rear, the huge (residential) emigration
                section, called the CITY 7


-------------------------------------(37)-------------------------------------

Narration:      In the centre of the City 7 lies the 20th century memorial
                city sector. A mix of several 20th century architecture; in
                this somehow bizarre sector, a match was taking place in one
                of the specially set courses...


-------------------------------------(38)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Currently shown on the screen, is the video of the
                increasingly popular group 'Fire Bomber'

                And now announcing for a substitute...


-------------------------------------(39)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Announcing a change of players,

Narrator:       Replacing Black No.14...

                Is Black No.4!

Sfx:            ~E...~ (Shocked sound)

Narrator:       Nicknamed the "Black Bomber", here comes Siva!!


-------------------------------------(40)-------------------------------------

  [Asbel's note: Freeform Japanese text, aargh! I can't translate this... (and
   the original translator didn't). It's not part of the story, just the
   author's note about those two rough drawings and the character. The header,
   not inobviously, says "Siva Midou"...]








------------------------------------------------------------------------------
41.                                               "1st; TRASH [Tornado Crush]"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Narrator:       Announcing a member change

                Replacing black no. 14,

                Black no. 4!


-------------------------------------(42)-------------------------------------

Heading:        1st; Trash [T-Crush]
  ("T" is subtitled "Tornado")

Narrator:       Contestant Siva Mido!!


-------------------------------------(43)-------------------------------------

Narration:      T-crush;

                A game where two teams of 11 members wear air blades, a set of
                hovering shoes.

                Teams compete for points while revolving around the tracks

Siva:           Enika!


-------------------------------------(44)-------------------------------------

Narration:      Points are earned by the number of runners (of the opposite
                team) behind the 'A'-runner.
  ('A' is subtitled 'Ace')

                Overtaking 10 at a time will double the score to 20,

                Lapping them twice will double the score further, however...

                ...The main attraction is really...

                ...The fighting between the two teams.

Siva:           Enika!!

Sfx:            ~Gashun~


-------------------------------------(45)-------------------------------------

Enika:          Okay okay, I can hear you! Don't get angry at me, you're the
                one who's late!

Siva:           Just do the usual business!

                Time's running short!


-------------------------------------(46)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Do... do... do...~ (Heartbeats)

Enika:          I can hear your voice; 'come over here' I, fighting back
                loneliness, can see you walk this way with your eyes
                closed...

Announcer:      Black 14 in, Black 14 in,

                Black 4 Standby, Black 4 Standby...

Sfx:            ~Pi!~


-------------------------------------(47)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Black No4. Start!

Sfx:            ~Piiiii~


-------------------------------------(48)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Fuu...~


-------------------------------------(49)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Siva Midou , the "Black Bomber", starts!!

Sfx:            ~On...~


-------------------------------------(50)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       As usual, joining half way through the match,

                What kind of dangerous play will he show us this time?

Enika:          (you) Mother Complex...!

Narrator:       He's quickly passed the main stadium and is approaching the
                rest of the group...

                Normally,...


-------------------------------------(51)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       ...a sprinter type is chosen for the A-runner,

                And upon closing into the opponent team, the A-runner enters
                the pit,

                Replaced by a member capable of 'bashing' the opponents.


-------------------------------------(53)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Vaaaa~


-------------------------------------(54)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Ooooo...~

Siva:           Coming backwards just to get rid of me?


-------------------------------------(55)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       He is said to be a genius at this game...

                We welcome our guest. mayor Myria; What do you think about it?

                You (Myria) have been known as a genius pilot as well...


-------------------------------------(56)-------------------------------------

Myria:          The word 'genius' not only refers to one's skills,

                But also to attitude.

                Siva's game is barbaric and whimsical!

Siva:           What would you understand...


-------------------------------------(57)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Doo~


-------------------------------------(57)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Voooo...~


-------------------------------------(59)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Siva blows away 10 players! 20 extra points...

Myria:          That was such a vulgar play...

Mahara:         Criticisms courtesy of Myria as usual.


-------------------------------------(60)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Gakon~

Enika:          Siva!

Siva:           Okay, so I'm barbaric and vulgar!

Enika:          As you always say... 

Siva:           Bye!

Enika:          Siva!!


-------------------------------------(61)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Gatan~


-------------------------------------(62)-------------------------------------

Enika:          I was looking for you!

      [To 'bot] Tropical Soda please!

Siva:           What are YOU here for?

Enika:          Fine, I'll go home then.

Siva:           You've already ordered, irresponsible woman!

                (Wierd haircut you've had!)

Enika:          ME? irresponsible??


-------------------------------------(63)-------------------------------------

Narrator:       Mayor Myria will be presenting the MVP awards.

Enika:          See, if you played the whole game, you'd easily have had
                buckets of those awards.

Siva:           And do what with them?

                In any case I don't want much from HER...


-------------------------------------(64)-------------------------------------

Narration:      ...And so the story begins...

Voice:          Attention all training pilots. Return to base immediately.

                Return to base immediately.


-------------------------------------(67)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Colonel Myria, what's the matter!? Training is not over...

Myria:          Mahara, can't you feel it!?

Mahara:         !?

Myria:          Something is wrong! Come back right away...

Mahara:         Something? What...


-------------------------------------(70)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Dokun, dokun, dokun, dokun~ (Loud hertbeats)

Sfx:            ~Zaaaaaa~ (Shower)


-------------------------------------(71)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Colonel, you knew, didn't you!? About the new system being
                tested on board...

Myria:          Don't tell me you were on board and didn't notice a thing!?
                Even I felt it across the communication system...

Mahara:         Then... then, what...

Myria:          Several engineers attached to a corrupt firm were arrested.


-------------------------------------(72)-------------------------------------

Sfx:            ~Kyu~ (Tap turning)
                ~RRRRRRR...~ (Phone)

Bloke:          About that kid you asked about the other day,

Bloke:          His name is Siva Midou, 17 years old.


-------------------------------------(73)-------------------------------------

Bloke:          Member of the Tornado Crush team "Skull Black", no 4.

                He produces most of the points for the team.

                His address is...

Myria:          Address is?

Bloke:          Er,...

                Fleet 13, ship 4, "Heaven"

Mahara:         That's...

Bloke:          The so called 'cemetery ship'.

                The trainee killed in the accident is buried there as well...


-------------------------------------(74)-------------------------------------

Bloke:          And there's another interesting rumour,

Mahara:         Rumour?

Bloke:          Yes.

                This Midou kid could actually be...

                Captain Max's son,...

                his illegitimate child.

                But it's yet to be prov...

Sfx:            ~Pun~


-------------------------------------(75)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Illegitimate child...

                ...Hmm...

Sfx:            ~Fu~

Mahara:         That's fine.


-------------------------------------(76)-------------------------------------

Narration:      Heaven : A middle class ship providing cemeteries for those
                preferring the traditional way, containing temples and
                churches, and also contains some residential districts.


-------------------------------------(77)-------------------------------------

Narration:      Some refer to it as the "ghost ship", but its environment is
                not so bad, with plenty of nature.


-------------------------------------(79)-------------------------------------

Enika:          How about playing throughout the whole game, and then coming
                here, for a change?

Siva:           The team wins with the points I earn. So what's the
                difference?

Enika:          Mother complex...

Voice:          Siva-kun?


-------------------------------------(80)-------------------------------------

Mahara:         Forgotten me?

                You were cool in the match. Siva Mido, age 17!


-------------------------------------(81)-------------------------------------

  (From the past)
Siva:           I'm Siva Midou, 17!

Mahara:         Who asked for your bloody name!

Enika:          Who is she? That girl from a moment ago...

Siva:           God knows.

Enika:          "God knows"?... But you were talking to her!!

Siva:           Don't know...

Enika:          You DO prefer older women! Don't you!?

Note:           'Vampee'; Slang for 'Vampire', mysteriously appearing in the

Beard:          Captain Max' s illegitimate child...

                This is most interesting...

                I've always been a fan of Mahara.

                So, not that it means anything, but...

                It's a shame she's quitting.

                Don't you think, ...

                Lieutenant Hoyer?

Hoyer:          Indeed it is!


-------------------------------------(98)-------------------------------------

Beard:          So I have asked her to recruit and train some energetic
                youngsters.

Hoyer:          Young people?

Beard:          The young pilots we currently have are a bunch of spoilt
                brats.

Hoyer:          Recruit them to fly Valkyries?

Beard:          No, that's undecided as yet.

                It all depends on how she finds their capabilities at the
                moment.


-------------------------------------(99)-------------------------------------

Beard:          This is my personal decision. However, now that she is a
                civilian, life could be somewhat difficult for her. 

                So, I ask you to support her.

                This T-Crush game.... Brilliant for judging a person.

                Especially  the qualities needed to pilot Batteloids...

Hoyer:          ...

Siva:           Shit... I can understand one or two, but why are there so

Guy in tree:    Thought I'd investigate how good the "Black Bomber" really is

Guy:            But without airblades, you're hopeless!

Siva:           What!?

Siva:           You're using air-blades!


-------------------------------------(114)------------------------------------

Guy:            You must allow me a handicap.

                I'm a delicate person, unlike you.

Siva:           It's a foul.

Guy:            If you aren't happy, shall we start over?

[Enika:         (Illegible)]

Guy:            The signal from this will attract some more (vampees)

Siva:           Then YOU were the one controlling all the...

Guy:            What if I was? Siva-kun?

Siva:           I don't really care... but,

                It's still a foul.

Enika:          Persistent...


-------------------------------------(116)------------------------------------

Siva:           If you tell us why you are doing this,

                I'll take it to a penalty.

Guy:            Did I scare you too much?


-------------------------------------(117)------------------------------------

Guy:            The Obasan here will tell you everything...

Siva:           Obasan?

Mahara:         Well, you lot are polite!

                My name is Mahara.

Narration:      Victoria Music Publishing Studio 7


-------------------------------------(124)------------------------------------

Siva:           A bit too early.

Siva:           Why do I waste my time...

Narration:      ---Minmay voice---

                The girl, with her voice, is said to have put an end to the
                war with the Zentraedi...


-------------------------------------(125)------------------------------------

Narration:      "Lynn Minmay"

                The times are such that Zentradis coexist with humans; The
                campaign is aimed to admonish war and provide videos, disks
                and the like to Minmay fans...
  (I guess that's "Laser disks" -A.)

Voice:          Now, please sing the theme song "Do you remember love?"

Narration:      Whoever becomes the "voice of Minmay" provides the live voice
                which is core of  the whole campaign.

Voice:          Holographics standby...

Enika:          So... how was it?

                Were you able to meet the Captain?

Siva:           So irritatingly persistent, you are...

                I didn't ask about the audition cause I knew you wouldn't make
                it... 

                Can you not appreciate my concern?

                You're really annoying sometimes, you know.

Enika:          Say, Siva?


-------------------------------------(130)------------------------------------

Enika:          Shall we have a date?

                I'll be your lover for today. 

Siva:           I prefer we just be friends...

                Roger!

                ...


-------------------------------------(131)------------------------------------

Enika:          Wouldn't that look any good on me, Siva?

Siva:           Ever seen yourself in a mirror?

Mahara:         Mahara Fabrio..

Enika:          Siva?

Mahara:         With his help I tested you.

Enika:          Siva?

Mahara:         His name is "Mobard"

                Your new team mate.


-------------------------------------(133)------------------------------------

Mahara:         And I'm your new coach.

Mahara:         But those two guys were unexpected guests...

Siva:           Huh...?

Enika:          What do you mean, "huh"?

                You were thinking about that Obasan again weren't you?

                Sorry... I'm having problems.


-------------------------------------(135)------------------------------------

Siva:           Did the audition turn out to be that bad?

Enika:          Once the holograms surrounded me, I got nervous and after
                that, went nowhere...

Siva:           Is this important to you?

Siva:           Don't know anything about this Minmay person, but what's the
                point copying someone else?


-------------------------------------(136)------------------------------------

Enika:          What?? Her songs brought the war to an end!

Siva:           But, ...

                That's her, not you, isn't it?

Enika:          You can't understand.

Enika:          Why so shy?

Siva:           It's not that!!

                It's like walking with a daughter! I hate that!

Enika:          I'm only a year younger!

Siva:           It's all to do with mental maturity.


-------------------------------------(139)------------------------------------

Enika:          Really? I don't see any matureness in needing a beautiful
                girl's song to relax before the match! 

Siva:           Ha! Jinx...

                And anyway...

Siva:           What beauty?

  (Max's, that is)

Siva:           Dunno.

Enika:          But your reflexes?


-------------------------------------(143)------------------------------------

Siva:           Never checked.

                Never seen him either.

Siva:           At least...

                I guess I'd like to thank him for the living expenses.

Enika:          Siva...

                You've got a father complex as well, haven't you.
