Rick’s mind wandered away from the discussion to search out memories of the first time he had seen her. Winsome and charming that cool afternoon on Macross Island, in red highheels and a sundress that was too short for her, trying to wrestle her cousin Jason away from a vending machine that was circling them for a sale. Petite Cola, Rick recalled. And later-how could he ever forget?talking to her from the elevated seat of a fighter that had somehow reconfigured itself to a fifty-foot-high technoknight. Minmei at the balcony window. He would toss her his Medal of Valor through a facsimile of that window a year later.

Those early days, he thought, overcome with nostalgia. The Miss Macross contest and those frustrating evenings in the park when he could never get the words quite right. Their two weeks together as castaways onboard the SDF-1, writing love songs and fishing for tuna. Getting married…

The video recording taken by the Valivarre had finished running a moment ago, but the scene of that travesty of a wedding aboard Edwards’s ship was still showing on Rick’s internal screens. Minmei, pale but bright-eyed and adoring as she took Edwards’s hand; the two of them kneeling before Edwards’s sadistic adjutant. Good-bye, Jonathan, she had said to poor Wolff. I’ve found happiness at last.

Rick thought about the feelings Lynn-Kyle had once stirred in him; how he had worried for Minmei then. And the time he had rescued her from Khyron and how close they had come to making it work. But he had already found Lisa, and the world of New Macross was about to come to an end.

Rick glanced over at Lisa now, and of course she was glaring at him. Everytime Minmei’s name came up. Without fail. Like she was a mind reader or something. But why not? The Praxian Sisters had taught her all about hand-to-hand; so maybe Veidt or Kami had been giving her telepathy lessons!

The bumps and bruises everyone had sustained on Peryton were healing; but there were some wounds biostats and anodynes couldn’t touch, Rick thought.

Veidt had received Vince Grant’s transmission from Haydon IV, and the Ark Angel had departed Perytonspace for the rendezvous point two days after the nightmare in LaTumb. Burak and Tesla had ended the planet’s cursepaying the price with their lives. Janice and Rem had recounted the events a dozen times, but the Sentinels were still having trouble with it. Did it mean that Burak and Tesla’s thoughts were actually in Peryton’s air, so to speak-controlling the planet’s reconstruction somehow? And just exactly who was this Haydon being who could arrange for such things to occur?

Everyone else had managed to walk away. Jack was back in sick bay, but that had more to do with the abdominal gash he had received from Burak on Spheris than anything Peryton had thrown at him. Karen, Gnea, Lron, Baldan…they had all logged a couple of after-mission sessions with the debriefing shrink, but were otherwise fine.

And so, by the looks of
