But *they* want more Mahara: "They"? -------------------------------------(97)------------------------------------- Hoyer: A section of the Zentraedi are taking emotions they lack from humans. That is the "Mind System"'s true purpose!! Footnote: (*) Originally a giant warrior race that confronted humanity. Afterwards, many settled to coexist with humanity by the Micronisation process Hoyer: The expense is supposed to be to open the gates to simplified pilot training, but it's all a front for secret weapons development The "Game" is a complete farce -------------------------------------(98)------------------------------------- Mahara: ...no way... -------------------------------------(100)------------------------------------ Mahara: A warning!? Doesn't look like it's going to end as just a farce... -------------------------------------(101)------------------------------------ Siva: This is fine... I'll go like this... Enika: You'd not going on any date looking like that Siva: Why, you... I could say the same about you -------------------------------------(104)------------------------------------ Enika: Eyaaaaaa Siva: Hahahaha... don't get scared, my skill's not that bad, is it? Enika: Siva, look out!! -------------------------------------(111)------------------------------------ Siva: That wasn't half bad! Enika: Probably because they worked me so hard over it ...But Was it any use... -------------------------------------(112)------------------------------------ Enika: You saw it, didn't you... Siva They did it without me... no need for talent -------------------------------------(113)------------------------------------ Enika: They made the whole concert artificially I'm not needed!! -------------------------------------(114)------------------------------------ Enika: You haven't got anything to say... ...have you...? Siva: They chose you, didn't they? Although that kind of speaks for itself... -------------------------------------(115)------------------------------------ Enika: There are some things which end if you speak them... so, I guess... -------------------------------------(116)------------------------------------ Amulet: Hang in there, Siva Hang in there, Siva Hang in there, Siva Hang in there, Siva ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 117. "28th; TRASH [Thickheadedness]" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amulet: Hang in there, Siva Hang in there, Siva Siva: ... -------------------------------------(118)------------------------------------ Title: 28th; TRASH [Thickheadedness] -------------------------------------(119)------------------------------------ Enika: You haven't got anything to say... have you Siva: ...Dammit! Enika: Anything would be good! -------------------------------------(120)------------------------------------ Enika: There are some things which end if you speak them... so, I guess...

Enika: ...Siva -------------------------------------(122)------------------------------------ Enika: Say something Siva: I saw you in the Opening Concert video That was really you... wasn't it? Enika: Yeah -------------------------------------(123)------------------------------------ Alan: That's The sound of... Your grating heart!! Siva: It's a great thing I might joke around sometimes... but I've taken another look at that... And... -------------------------------------(124)------------------------------------ Siva: Even if you're alone, you have your singing... Alan: Surely you don't think you passed on merit!? -------------------------------------(125)------------------------------------ Siva: That time I couldn't make it to the audition I thought maybe that was it, but you struggled on and made it... Alan: Is it a man!? -------------------------------------(127)------------------------------------ Enika: Thick... ...Headed! Siva: ... -------------------------------------(130)------------------------------------ Pasha: Siva-san, congratulations on making the second round How about something cold to... ... -------------------------------------(131)------------------------------------ Note: Players' lodge Mahara: May I bother you for a bit? Siva: You came in already, didn't you? -------------------------------------(132)------------------------------------ Mahara: You're very cold towards Pasha these days, you know Siva: Coaching me in more than just the game, is it? You have too much time on your hands Mahara: That's because the player is so good Siva: I get... I don't know, self-conscious... Mahara: Because she's nice to you? -------------------------------------(133)------------------------------------ Siva: No... That's not exactly... Mahara: You say that, But you're hurting people Her partner is always thinking of himself. How selfish that is! You can't give her the self-confidence to sort out her own feelings -------------------------------------(134)------------------------------------ Siva: Don't say that! Mahara: And what if I do? It looks like Pasha understands you well... Siva: What do you mean!? Mahara: If you went to meet Enika, you wouldn't come back That's what she thought That there was no way you'd be back -------------------------------------(135)------------------------------------ Mahara: So, to stop you doing anything stupid, she smiled... Siva: ... Mahara: That isn't even what I came to say... -------------------------------------(136)------------------------------------ Hoyer: A section of the Zentraedi are taking emotions they lack from humans. That is the "Mind System"'s true purpose!! The "Game" is a complete farce Mahara: What can I say now? -------------------------------------(137)------------------------------------ Mahara: A visitor? Hoyer: You're so publicly known I'm not really afraid for your safety, but... for now, it'd be best to take precautions -------------------------------------(138)------------------------------------ Mahara: He was supposed to be here... Man: Mahara-kun Siva: Pasha, could you get me The data on the next opponent... "Miss Manager" Pasha: Of course, Midou-san!! -------------------------------------(140)------------------------------------ Alan: To return is to have arrived... it would seem, wouldn't it? Mahara: Y... you -------------------------------------(143)------------------------------------ Note: Akusho: An unofficial auxiliary dome attached to a docking port. Its inhabitants are therefore technically not registered as part of Macross 7 -------------------------------------(144)------------------------------------ Bacelon: How is it? Humans' emotions, sucked up by the Mind System... The taste of Spiritia! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 145. "29th; TRASH [Confession]" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brain: The samples of Spirita taken from the many Games Bacelon: Just a fragment of the many human emotions, but isn't it satisfying... Brain: This system, which lets human emotions be tasted... It is like a drug to us, who used to have no emotions But... more important is the realisation that... -------------------------------------(146)------------------------------------ Brain: We who before had only had the ability to unemotionally fight, could not possibly hope to defeat humanity now that their technological level all but equals our own -------------------------------------(147)------------------------------------ Brain: We have become so soft that we stand no chance of defeating an opponent... -------------------------------------(148)------------------------------------ Title: 29th; TRASH [Confession] -------------------------------------(149)------------------------------------ Bacelon: If there is a "plus" to Song Energy, then there is also a "minus" It is all of one body And... If I had to say which had more appeal... -------------------------------------(150)------------------------------------ Mahara: ... I take it we're not just going for a drive? -------------------------------------(151)------------------------------------ Mahara: I mean... not that it isn't nice driving around with the Captain, but... Er... Er... Max: You were... You were thinking that Siva should be a pilot... But it would have been a problem with Miria... yes? Mahara: I... -------------------------------------(152)------------------------------------ Mahara: I lost lots of things in that accident... students... People I liked... And... My self-confidence... -------------------------------------(153)------------------------------------ Mahara: When I met Siva, at that moment... [Siva:] I'm Siva... Siva Midou, 17! [Mahara:] Who the hell was asking!? Mahara: I felt that I could take my confidence back by guiding him Max: So, you were taken in by Bacelon's offer... -------------------------------------(154)------------------------------------ Max: Take a good look -------------------------------------(155)------------------------------------ Max: Even coming only this far out, the city is reduced to such an insignificant size... Along with all our feelings and everything else... -------------------------------------(156)------------------------------------ Mahara: I want to raise a student greater than those taught by Miria I think I have the willpower for it Max: That he might be my child... That my abilities might have been passed on to him That was also in your calculations... Right? -------------------------------------(157)------------------------------------ Mahara: There is that... But... What if inside himself... what if inside his own talent he's about to find you...? Max: Don't let that thought trouble you, coach -------------------------------------(158)------------------------------------ Max: Where he is seeking, the only thing he will find is himself Someone with confidence unrelated to anything he could have gained from me Mahara: "Anything he could have gained from me"...?? Max: Everyone must have targets, but it is vital to to surpass them Mahara: So you mean.... -------------------------------------(159)------------------------------------ Max: I am *not* his father -------------------------------------(160)------------------------------------ Max: And... Having a child with someone other than my wife.... I'm not that kind of person -------------------------------------(161)------------------------------------ Max: However... I probably make a good target to surpass, at least.... Mahara: Isn't that a little unkind? Max: I... guess so -------------------------------------(162)------------------------------------ Max: I will be moving on the matter of Colonel Bacelon, so don't let that worry you... Mahara: But... Max: Please, concentrate on the game. That will help me the most And... one more thing... -------------------------------------(163)------------------------------------ Max: I don't see much appeal in all the fuss Over making those two into pilots, but.... What will you do? -------------------------------------(165)------------------------------------ Mahara: Siva-kun? What are you...? Surely you're not thinking of... -------------------------------------(168)------------------------------------ Siva: Shit! I can't control it?!! Mahara: From such a height....?!? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 169.
