Macross Delta (マクロスΔ（デルタ）)

The treatment of prisoners of war is regulated by the Ormond Treaty.

I doubt they'll do anything too absurd.

Come.

The court is now in session for the trial of these three prisoners.

The trial will be held in King Heinz Nerich Windermere's presence

at his special request.

King Heinz...

The tracker shows Hayate's group in front of the castle, and Mikumo near the system.

Looks like Hayate's group got caught.

The keenness of your hearing would put a cat to shame.

Berger?!

Chaos' navigation satellites use parts produced by some of our partner corporations.

I guess we'll have to check all of our gear now.

Yeah.

Why is His Majesty doing this?

Silence, Bogue.

Where is Lord Roid?

He is busy inspecting the sanctum.

The trial shall proceed in his absence.

Where are we?

I swear upon the Great Wind

that I, Heinz Nerich Windermere, will abide by the decision of the Three Wings, regardless of outcome.

As this is a simplified trial,

questioning of the defendants by the prosecution and defense likewise shall be omitted.

What about these handcuffs?!

In a proper trial, the defendants aren't supposed to be restrained!

You are not to speak unless requested.

The defendants are charged with armed incursion into our territory,

aggravated assault, and defilement of our sacred skies.

Do you acknowledge these crimes?

Because you asked before you flew over our heads with your VFs?!

How dare you spout this filth in His Majesty's presence!

It is fine.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Will you give me some time?

Very well.

I hear this Chaos you belong to is not part of the military.

Furthermore, you are an Earthling.

And you have Zentradi blood.

As far as I know, you were born outside the Globular Cluster.

Why do you fight us?

We are contracted to protect the Globular Cluster.

It's our mission.

So you fight because it is your job?

That's not all.

Then why?

I want to protect the people

who live on Ragna and the other planets.

Freyja Wion.

Why do you sing?

I... Walküre sings to help people across the galaxy who were affected by the Var.

I do not wish to hear why Walküre sings. I wish to hear why you sing.

When I sing, this feeling inside me...

this happy feeling inside me takes over!

If I could share this happiness with the people of the galaxy, perhaps war won't be waged anymore.

Feelings taking over you when you sing?

I have never felt that way.

When I heard you sing, I could feel the color of warmth.

That color reminded me of... yes, the sun.

That other singer, her color reminded me of...

A rainbow!

No, the color of the stars.

Beautiful and close, yet so very distant.

Frightening in a way.

Your Majesty's singing scares me even more.

It's transparent and colorless.

Colorless?

It's beautiful and clear, but there is nothing beyond it.

It feels empty.

Empty?!

Such insolence.

Your Majesty, she is also charged with high treason.

The sentence for treason is death.

May we at least execute her first?

Fuck you!

Restrain him!

Hayate!

Trial, my ass!

You're just putting on a show before executing us!

There is no prosecution, defense, or jury.

This is in violation of the Ormond Treaty!

As you do not belong to the armed forces of the NUN Spacy,

you are not considered a combatant.

Therefore, the treaty does not apply.

What?!

Your Majesty! The outside world is so full of wonderful things that can't be seen or heard here!

Silence!

But... But sometimes the wind is similar to Windermere's, so...

I told you to shut up!

Can't you stop the war?

Freyja!

Hayate!

You filthy vermin.

Stand down.

That is enough.

That's Captain Wright's... Hayate's father's plane!

We tuned it last night.

I believe it's flyable.

Its leg units were removed as well,

so you should be able to ride in the compartment.

What is your objective?

I am a merchant.

I expect appropriate compensation later.

It is time for my departure, so if you would excuse me.

Departure?

We're withdrawing from Windermere for now.

There was a change of circumstances.

I wish you all good luck.

Can we really trust him?

He's a cunning man.

If he wanted to, we'd be in his trap already.

I should verify it really is flyable.

Please do.

You are in the King's presence.

You may not spill blood at his feet.

I beg His Majesty's pardon.

When I intersected with your wind, I felt pain.

I felt dread and sadness.

As the war continues, others will feel like that too.

I cannot stop yet.

Our justice has yet to be carried out.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, the defendants displayed no regret for their crimes and acted provocative.

We do not believe further deliberation would be meaningful.

We wish to deliver a verdict.

Very well.

I, Wing of One, declare all three defendants guilty.

The Wind of Judgment shall decide whether it is a capital crime.

I, Wing of Two, agree.

I, Wing of Three, agree.

The Three Wings spoke of the same wind.

The three defendants are declared guilty.

They are to be executed.

That is your true form.

Do you have any memories of it?

I suppose you do not.

I have been inspecting you since last night.

As I feared...

What?

You are an artificial life form.

Seven years ago, in the chaos of war,

an object was stolen from this sanctum.

I do not know what it was,

but I suspect the stolen object helped Lady M revive you, the Star Singer.

The Star Singer is a legend passed down on Windermere.

Originally, she was a priestess the Protoculture left by our side.

Over time, her powers were passed on to the Wind Singers.

Reviving the Star Singer is beyond my imagination.

They obscured the truth and used you for their own gains.

Perhaps they were afraid of you...

Of your power.

I'm... the Star Singer?

That is correct.

Even if your memories are gone, your body should still remember

the winds of Windermere...

and your songs.

I remember this from the picture books I read when I was little.

The bad people who opposed the King

would walk off a cliff over the abyss

and fall to the wind.

So we're supposed to jump off that thing?

It's pointless.
