Macross Delta (マクロスΔ（デルタ）)

We, the Windermere Kingdom,

have figured out how to mind control the Var-infected with the song of the wind.

By unleashing the power of the ruins, we were able to establish the Starwind sector.

Seven years have passed since our war of independence.

The years took their toll on King Gramia. His wind weakened and his rune fell dark.

Compared to Earthlings, our time is short.

Why can they live so much longer than the other humanoid races?

They are weak and runeless. It's unfair.

Our lives are so short.

Very soon, the runes of those on the frontlines shall fall dark as well.

Analyzing the heritage of the Protoculture is crucial for us to break free from the chains of our fate.

We shall bring the song of the great wind to the entire galaxy!

There are so many Draken IIIs.

I just hope they won't get in our way.

We finally get to thrust our blade into the very heart of the UN Government.

Hold the fort for us, all of you.

Da!

Cassim.

I know.

Defeat the UN Government and establish the great galactic civilization.

It's the last will of the late King Gramia.

Note that only Roid heard him, though.

Is entering without permission what passes for good manners in Epsilon?

Freyja Wion and Mikumo Guynemer.

I've had my eyes on those two as well.

However, Windermere has King Heinz, the Wind Singer.

Why are you interested in them?

Are you so surprised I would research my enemies?

I see.

Oh, I forgot!

With the arrival of the six-unit SV-262 platoon,

the second expansion project is now complete.

Once we are finished analyzing the Protoculture's heritage,

please do provide us with field data.

Infiltrating Voldor?!

Yes. Unless we deal with those giant structures,

we can't even start thinking about turning the tables on Windermere.

Other than that they can echo a song's fold waves across the galaxy,

the truth is that we know nothing about them.

Gotta get close to figure it out!

We'll return to that planet once more.

Back at it again at Cat Planet.

Right...

Have you been sick or something?

What's the plan?

Land on Voldor, infiltrate the giant structure,

get it to react to Walküre's songs, and collect the data.

But why Voldor?

We've got insider help.

A surviving NUNS unit is continuing resistance in hopes of liberating Voldor.

They've become immunized due to our songs.

There's not many of them, but it seems like they can withstand the song of the wind.

According to them, the Windermereans are withdrawing their garrison.

I figure they need them more elsewhere.

Their frontline is drawn long and thin.

We're going to take advantage of their shortage of men.

What about the other half of the plan?

We've infiltrated once already, so they must've tightened up security.

Yeah, it's not gonna go as smoothly this time.

But worry not...

What's going on?

Look at that!

To everyone watching the galactic network!

The globular cluster is under Windermerean control,

and we, Walküre, can't travel around to perform anti-Var Waccine shows.

But we can't just sit idly.

So we'll perform a special show

and broadcast it across the galaxy!

To everyone across all the stars and nations of the universe, we want to inspire you!

We're here to prove to Windermere that no matter what happens,

we'll never give up!

Let the songs of a goddess ring through the galaxy!

This broadcast carries a virus specially made by Reina.

Virus?

Yep.

It's designed to infect all devices connected to the galactic network in the globular cluster.

It then multiplies exponentially and continues to spread.

So we're making the enemy focus all their attention on Walküre?

The best place to hide a jellyfish is inside a bloom of them.

Isn't that kinda going too far?

Oh, we haven't even gotten to the good part yet.

Let's click!

Thanks for watching!

This is a little something from me to you!

My dickulture!

Not only are we breaking through their security, we are also making serious money at the same time.

I applaud your ingenuity.

The progress on the virus?

32% of the network has been infected and it's still growing.

Your singing has changed.

Was it him?

Oh, uh, but your singing is different too, Mikumo.

Has it?

How?

Well... It used to be sparkly and rainbowy...

Now it's more...

Not as sparkly?

That's not what I meant.

How should I put it?

It's still sparkly, but it's also like, fluffy and stuff now.

Something's wrong with Mikumo.

Something's off.

Nobody ever celebrated your birthdays?

Not just that.

I don't remember my parents or where I was raised.

All I have is an urge to sing. That's it.

Mikumo, are you—

Who needs a past?

All that matters is that I get to sing in the present.

Freyja...

Freyja's making her rune shine too much.

Who can blame her after receiving a present like that from Haya-Haya?

What's wrong?

Nothing...

Come on, man. Did their music get you too?

Dude, please.

Thanksies.

What did you think of my song, Hayate?

Mikumo told me my singing's changed.

It sure has!

Before you'd take off slowly then go up and swoosh!

But today it was as if I was really flying in the sky.

It was amazing. It literally blew me away.

As awesome as it gets!

My chest feels tight all of a sudden...

My heart's been racing ever since...

Hayate...

You know, I...

Freyja!

You were amazing on stage tonight!

Thank you very much!

Keep it up! Good luck!

We're all behind you!

Let's go.

Yeah.

You know, the first time I saw people with wrinkles was on Ragna.

Windermereans don't get wrinkles.

At first I thought they were Wrinklians from another planet or something.

I see.

I guess they've been together very long.

Yeah.

They must've made a lot of fun and happy memories together.

Yeah.

That reminds me, I haven't been home in ages.

I haven't seen my mom in a long time.

I did tell her I was going to Ragna, though.

You should go back every now and then.

She's family.

It's no big deal.

It's just a couple of years.

Let's go out with a bang!

What the hell are you all doing?

Sir Bogue!

How fucking dare you?!

This isn't what it looks like!

We're learning about the enemy!

Learning about?!

This is enemy propaganda!

How do you turn this off?!

You're worthless.

I'm not a cheap woman.

Not showing you anything for so little!

Fuck you, Walküre!

Infection rate: 100%!

We've got reports of significant transmission troubles in the cluster.

The operation was a success!

We did it!

Heck yeah, Walküre!

All right!

Launch the Aether!

Roger!

Are you sortieing?

Yes.

Have you recovered?

Yeah.

Good to hear.

When you have the time, please tell me about my da—

Leave here right away.

You're still young.

You don't have to suffer.

What are you talking about?

You of all must not face Windermere.
