There are so many wonderful things going on in my life, it’s sometimes hard to believe it can continue like this. But what would the people of Macross City think of me if I announced to them that getting stuck in the fold and landing out here in deep space was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me? Aunt Lena and Uncle Max’s restaurant is really happening; even the mayor comes to eat there. I have three complete songs written: “My Boyfriend’s a Pilot,” “Stagefright,” and “To Love.” My dance instructor and my voice coach tell me that I’m making excellent progress, and I’m actually even thinking of sending in an application for the Miss Macross pageant. But I know that I could never be accepted! That is just too wild a dream to come true—even for me!... The only rough spot in my life right now is Rick; and I can’t figure out what to do about him. I owe him my life, for real; but he wants me to be something I can never be: a loyal girlfriend, maybe someone who would be content to live in his shadow. But I have shadows of my own to cast!

For a long time after the spacefold he harbored a fear that the population was one day going to wake from the collective shock of the experience and he’d have a mass riot on his hands.

But in any case the residents of Macross City were a breed apart from the start.

Tommy Luan had been part of the second wave of newcomers to arrive on Macross Island. The first consisted mainly of scientific and military representatives from the newly formed World Unification Alliance, Dr. Lang and his group, Gloval, Fokker, Colonel Edwards, and others from the supercarrier Kenosha. Then there followed the decision to attempt a construction of the ship—“the Visitor,” as it was called—and this brought in the numerous tech teams who were really Macross City’s founding fathers. Luan was one of these. His background was construction—immense projects: bridges, skyscrapers, hospitals—no job was too large. But the Global Civil War had put an end to an unprecedented period of growth in the building trades, and like far too many others Luan was on the skids and looking for a job. He applied for a position on the Macross project and was accepted. He received a security clearance and once on the island found himself placed in charge of housing construction for the tech and support groups.

As the SDF-1 began to take shape, so did Macross City. The ongoing project to decipher
