Episode 11: Aftermath
[Episode begins with Robotech3:Dark Odyssey Theme and scenes from the previous episode.]
Narrator [VO]: In the last episode of Robotech3: Dark Odyssey, the SDF-1 gains new civilians as South Park Refugees Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Carman create a new home until another can be found and make uneasy impressions. General Rick Hunter is introduced to a new allied alien species dubbed the Onvid. Parallel Lynn Minmei finally reunites with her parents and Parallel Karl Riber is found and discovered by the Martian Base team. But all is not well when the Crongus began a full counterattack that resulted with the many deaths of U.C.E and civilian life, the evacuation of Earth's people and the complete annihilation of the planet Earth.
[Scene opens with the scarring of the Moon and several U.C.E, RDF, and Crongus Bioships fighting. Int. shot of SDF-3A Bridge with Lisa "Hayes" Hunter looking aimlessly at the dust cloud that used to be Earth.]
1st Officer Applegate: Admiral, what are your orders?
[Lisa "Hayes" Hunter still staring at the dust cloud.]
1st Officer Applegate: Admiral?
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Get all of the survivors aboard the ships and prepare for Hyperspace Warp for the Europa Base.
1st Officer Applegate: Aye. Captain, I've just got a signal from U.C.E HQ in San Francisco.
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Put it on my personal monitor.
[On the personal monitor there was a women looking about 50 years of age with gray streaks on the side of her head and wearing a U.C.E general's uniform.]
Women: This is Secretary General Gwen Archer to all armadas. All known outposts in all know dimensions have been hit hard and need immediate backup. Go to the nearest outpost until further notice.
[Int. shot of an evacuation shuttle.]
Child: Where's the Earth Mommy?
Mother: I don't know honey, I just don't know.
Shuttle Pilot [VO]: Attention all passengers, we are heading toward the SDF-1 for temporary occupation until further notice.
Male youth [thinking]: Who ever did this to Earth is going to pay dearly for this I swear.
[Scene fades to black and then next scene appears over Europa with the REF fleet with several U.C.E Civilian Cruiser orbiting the planet.]
[Int. shot of a Civilian Cruiser with several stores and several people.]
1st Man: I can't believe this. It has been six days since the destruction of Earth and were all stuck on these ships until that new home world is ready for us.
2nd Man: Tell me about it. I just got my new house and all of a sudden I have to leave it or I get blown up with it. And look at us, only seven Cruisers full of us that survived the destruction.
1st Man: Yeah, our human race numbered in the billions. But now a few messily thousands. I swear the Crongus want us to die slow and horrible deaths.
2nd Man: Well there is one good thing about it.
1st Man: Oh, and what would be that?
2nd Man: We don't have to pay income taxes anymore.
[Int. shot of War room with Rick Hunter, Max Sterling, Bretai and Exadore.]
Max Sterling: So what do we do now?
Rick Hunter: According to Intel the Crongus are hitting all outposts and outlying bases in all U.C.E occupied zones. So I guess that our current objective is to protect the Europa and Io bases until further notice.
Bretai: And what of the refugees aboard the Civilian Cruisers?
Rick Hunter: Well I have just received an order from High Command saying that the remaining refugees are to be under our protection until further notice.
Exadore: The U.C.E High Command has found a suitable site for relocating the refugees within the Neutral Zone near the Muslim Commonwealth and U.C.E territories.
[A hologram appeared showing the area of space in which the new relocation site was found. On the upper left hand corner was the territories of the Muslim Commonwealth with their territory boundaries colored in blue and their flag shown in the territory. In the lower right was the territory of the U.C.E with their boundaries colored red and their flag indicating their territory. In the center of the two territories was an area in which its boundaries were colored green and flashing.]
Exadore: This is the area in which the Planet has been found and the Senate and Crongus of the U.C.E is in a process of creating a bill for that area to be used by the refugees as their new home and the space surrounding the star system and the area highlighted to be colonized by the refugees for their own use.
[Hologram changes to show a Ringed Gas planet with five moons.]
Exadore: The proposed planet is the second moon dubbed Decorta 4 orbiting the gas planet Zullaviax Prime. Zullaviax Prime is the fifth planet in a thirteen planet star system dubbed Gulliaman 6 and the planets are three times the mass of Jupiter. The area was to be a joint territory of all four Human Governments as a resort system for tourists but since the attack on Vexas when the Crongus Wars began, the area was left with only 50% completion of all facilities upon the Planet system.
Rick Hunter: The new site sounds perfect but why did U.C.E High Command wanted to give the recent refugees the area?
Exadore: To put it simply, they had no plans for the area until now. No one even heard about it until it was found in a lost file in the Geneva Computer Records.
Rick Hunter: Okay, we better forward this information to the remaining Earth Council to see if they would like the idea. How long do the refugees have to be under our protection until they can be relocated Exadore?
Exadore: Well the construction crews orbiting the moon are not exactly sure when the site will be ready for relocation and then there are the orbital defense and space construction platforms and space stations and the bill of the refugees colonization, the reassigning of a U.C.E Colonial Defense Force fleet to the planet until the refugees can build their own ships and the trade agreements to the planet and-
Rick Hunter: How long Exadore? The remaining council will want to know how long they will be a wandering refugee fleet until they can settle on their new home world.
Exadore: The estimates are rough and there could be sudden changes but it is about...
Admiral Hayes: FOUR YEARS!?!?!?!
[Scene changes from the war room aboard the SDF-1A to the conference room of the Refugee flagship Earthbound.]
Admiral Hayes: Do you think we can actually wait to live on a planet for four long years?
U.C.E Representative: I'm sorry admiral, but there is the legal process and the construction of the cities-
Admiral Hayes: Yes but four years? Isn't it a bit long to wait for a planet?
U.C.E Representative: The legal process dose take several months to settle between the four human governments and it should begin soon after the construction of the new cities are completed and it is estimated that the total construction time of the remaining facilities of the entire moon is estimated three years, give or take a few months. If you review the technical report of the site, you should be considered lucky.
Council Admiral: And how do we consider ourselves lucky?
U.C.E Representative: Well the site was built at 50% completion and it had been about eight years since the construction had begun.
2nd Council Admiral: We'll look over the idea but I speak for everyone in this council that we would be honored to be able to live on that world.
U.C.E Representative: Thank you and have a pleasant day.
Admiral Hayes: Humph, humbug.
[The U.C.E Representative left the doors of the conference room. The 2nd Council Admiral turned to Admiral Hayes.]
2nd Council Admiral: You should be ashamed of yourself Hayes, the U.C.E is granting us a new home in such short notice and you believe that it is nothing but hogwash. What happened to you these last few days anyway?
Admiral Hayes: Well a lot can change a man when his entire planet was blown up.
1st Council Admiral: And what about the other refugees. How will we tell them that they will have to wait until they get their new home world and more importantly, what will we do in the mean time.
2nd Council Admiral: Well, we could always have them enlisting under the U.C.E?
[Int. shot of U.C.E Enlistment Office aboard a Civilian Cruiser with the room filled with "applicants".]
Enlistment Officer: Please, would you all calm down. We will have you signed up for evaluations soon enough.
Male Youth: But what about our enlistment to the military.
Enlistment Officer: Sorry, but we must evaluate your condition to see if you are ready for U.C.E military. You'll all have to sign up for evaluation tests and then you can enlist.
2nd Male Youth: But I want to enlist now!
Female Youth: I want to kill some Crongus.
[Outside the U.C.E Enlistment Office, Lynn Minmei and Roy Hunter walked along the street.]
Lynn Minmei: Gee, I've never seen so many people going into the Enlistment Office before.
Roy Hunter: Well, several people on the parallel Earth want revenge on the Crongus for what they did to Earth and the only way was to enlist into the military, I believe.
[Something in Roy Hunter's jacket pocket began to beep. He pulled out a combadge, tapped it and a hologram of Max Sterling appeared in the palm of his hand.]
Roy Hunter: What's up Boss Man?
Max Sterling: Sorry to end your date here but we have reports of enemy traffic on the far side of Jupiter and High Command wants all pilots to be ready to engage. Take the next shuttle and meet back with the squadron at 1700 immediately.
Roy Hunter: Confirmed Boss Man, Hunter Out [turns off hologram and turns to Lynn Minmei.] Well I've got to leave now Minmei. I'll get you a tram once I get aboard the SDF-3A okay?
Lynn Minmei: [sighs] Right.
Roy Hunter: Maybe we'll meet again after my shift is over. No, I promise that we'll meet after my shift. We could go to that-
Lynn Minmei: No that's all right Roy, maybe next Friday.
Roy Hunter: Well, if you say so, it's fine with me.
Lynn Minmei [thinking]: I wish this war is over and done with, too many people lost their lives because of it. Please don't let Roy die.
Narrator: As Minmei comes occupied with a fear that she will never see her love again with each new threat to the entire fleet, another begins to question her faith upon her lost love.
[Lisa3 sits at a table outside of an energy drink shop called "Starbucks Energy Drinks" with a paper cup of undrunk energy drink beside her.]
Lisa3: Maybe Riber isn't dead and he's still alive out there. He could be waiting for me to come back to him. Seeing that "other" Riber with that parallel me could be a sign.
[A dream-like image appeared with Karl Riber and Parallel Lisa walking together with their arms wrapped around each other.]
Lisa3: But then there is that other me, the REF Admiral. Did she lived her life morning her Karl's death or did she find someone else.
[Another dream-like image appeared with Lisa "Hayes" Hunter and Rick Hunter standing side by side.]
Lisa3: Could she be in a relationship with General Rick Hunter. Am I destined to fall in love with that "other" Hunter or spend the rest of my life alone? With no one to be with me, to comfort me and to make me feel happy-
[Lisa3's thoughts ended abruptly when she suddenly saw Karl Riber crash into a light post and a rocket propelled hover board crash straight into a wall. Parallel Lisa came running toward Karl Riber.]
Parallel Lisa: Karl, are you all right?
Lisa3 [thinking]: I'd never remembered Karl Riber so clumsy. Maybe it'll be cheaper if I was alone?
Toon voice: You idiot, do you have any idea what you have done?
[Lisa3 turned her attention toward two cartoon characters. One was a Chawawa and the other is a fat red cat with a huge blue nose and its toung hanging from the corner of its mouth.]
2nd Toon voice: I'm sorry Ren, I can't read gibberish.
Ren: Stimpy that is English. Can't you read English?
Stimpy: I don't know, what is English?
Ren: Ohh never mind, let's just hide in this lady's purse.
[Lisa3 then watched as Ren and Stimpy opened her purse and stuff themselves inside.]
Ren [muffled voice]: Move over Stimpy, you're suffocating me.
Stimpy [muffled voice]: I can't help it Ren, there's so many stuff in here.
Ren [muffled voice]: Just move stuff around and be quiet or we'll get caught.
Karl Riber: Wait until I get my hands on those two TOONS!!!
[Karl stomps off with his entire skin in a shade of red, while Parallel Lisa runs after him to try and calm him down.]
Stimpy [muffled voice]: Is it save to get out now Ren?
Ren [muffled voice]: Shut up you fool, do you want us killed?
[Lisa3 places her purse upon the table to open it.]
Ren [muffled voice]: Oh my gosh, she's going to open it!!
[Stimpy starts to whimper when Lisa opened her purse.]
Lisa3: Don't worry you two, it's safe to come out now.
[Ren and Stimpy slowly start to wedge themselves out of the purse and onto the table.]
Ren: Thanks for hiding us miss-
[Ren looks surprised when he sees Lisa3.]
Ren: By the Great Shaven Yak, it's you!!
Stimpy: It's the admiral.
Lisa3: No no, I'm 1st Officer Lisa Hayes.
Ren: Oh sorry, we thought you was someone else. The Admiral Lisa Hayes.
Stimpy: I thought it was Admiral Lisa "Hayes" Hu-
[Ren covers Stimpy mouth before he could finish the sentence.]
Ren: Don't say that. It could mess up the entire timeline here.
Lisa3: Don't worry you're not in the past if that's what you mean.
Ren: No no miss' Hayes. Were not suppose to tell them what is happening in a parallel universe about anyone's business.
Stimpy: Yah Ren, it's protocol number 1247-A1 which states that "No being from a parallel universe similar to another is to know of the person's parallel self and what he has done in that universe to avoid confusion to that person".
Ren: Stimpy, where did you get that?
Stimpy: I got it from the U.C.E Legal system book in a chapter about Inter-dimensional protocol and regulations.
Ren: That's amazing Stimpy, how did you learn all of that.
Stimpy: I stayed in after classes to talk to the teacher and wrote notes in my own words.
[Stimpy holds out peaces of paper covered in scribbles and gibberish.]
Lisa3: More like in your own language.
Ren: I just remembered something, we need a place to stay for the month Stimpy.
Stimpy: But where are we going to stay Ren?
Lisa3: If you want, you can stay at my place.
Both Ren and Stimpy: Really?
[Then both Ren and Stimpy's stomachs growled.]
Lisa3: And maybe something to eat to, it's on me.
Both Ren and Stimpy: Whoopee!!
Lisa3: Um, Ren.
Ren: Yes Miss' Hayes.
Lisa3: Why do you need a place to stay?
Ren: Well we do have a place of our own at the barracks but we herd that-
Stimpy: Those two are coming onboard.
Ren: Shut up Stimpy, [Ren slaps Stimpy in the face.] I'm the one talking here!
Lisa3: Who?
Ren: You don't want to know.
[Shot of Mars Base Sara with several U.C.E tanks guarding the perimeter.]
[Int. shot of Tank cockpit.]
Tank Pilot: I don't we just leave this base commander? It's not like the Crongus are going to attack us now.
Tank Commander: Listen kid, the Crongus are currently in a bad mood and they'll want to destroy any U.C.E base, no matter of its importance or firepower.
Tank Pilot: Yes but shouldn't we at least get something stronger besides an old 20th century tank?
Tank Commander: This is the only available mechanized weapon on the base and it is equipped with hostile environment control and energy weapons.
Tank Pilot: Yes but sir-
Tank Gunner: Sir, I've got a Crongus General on my screen.
Tank Commander: What are his weapons?
Tank Gunner: It seems to be a Biomech Rider model for higher officers.
Tank Commander: That's crazy, that thing isn't armed with any weapons! He is totally defenseless, unless....
Tank Gunner: He has ground reinforcements with him.
Tank Commander: Get bases HQ on the line, tell them that there is an attack.
Tank Gunner: Too late.
Tank Commander: What!?
[On the main monitor, there was a picture of a Martian cliff with the lone Crongus General, but after a few moments, several Crongus soldiers, Biofighters, Biomechs, Vicoo, and Qulans appeared and started to roar battle cries.]
Tank Commander: This is not good.
[The Crongus then began to advance toward the base.]
Tank Commander: Fire!!!
[Ext. view of U.C.E Tank firing energy weapons from it's main turret gun at the advancing Crongus horde.]
[View of Base Sara surrounded by advancing Crongus armies.]
[SDF-3A bridge, there is a beeping from a nearby computer.]
1st Officer Applegate: Admiral, there is a distress call from Mars Base Sara.
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Put it on the main monitor.
[The main monitor lights up with the base's communications officer.]
Base Communications Officer: This is U.C.E Mars Base Sara to any available ships, we are under attack. Repeat, we are under attack. Base defenses are beginning to waver and being over run by a huge horde of Crongus forces. We need immediate assistance, repeat, we need immediate assistance.pp
[Monitor goes blank.]
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Get everyone mobilized for attack. Have Gorgon, Hermes, and Scorpio Groups protect the refugees immediately. Everyone else prepare for Hyperspace Warp.
1st Officer Applegate: Aye.
[Klaxon Alarm sounds and military personnel are beginning to head towards their battle stations.]
1st Officer Applegate [VO]: This is 1st Officer Applegate to crew, we are in Combat Alpha alert, all personnel to your battle stations and prepare for Hyperspace Warp and immediate combat. I repeat all personnel to your battle stations and prepare for Hyperspace Warp and immediate combat.
[Lynn Minmei and Roy Hunter are just exiting the Shuttle bay.]
Lynn Minmei: Roy, do you have to go now?
Roy Hunter: I have no choice Minmei, duty calls.
[Roy then kisses Minmei on her right cheek.]
Roy Hunter: Wish me luck.
[Roy Hunter then dashes toward the closes military escort. Minmei them places her hand upon her right cheek and a tear build up in her eye.]
Lynn Minmei [thinking]: Please Roy, don't die on me. Please don't die.
[SDF-3A War room with the hologram of Lisa "Hayes" Hunter.]
Rick Hunter: Is the fleet mobilized yet Lisa?
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter [VO]: We're just about ready to jump into Hyperspace Warp.
Rick Hunter: Good, lets jump as soon as we're ready Lisa.
[Lisa "Hayes" Hunter's hologram fades and replaced with the hologram of the entire fleet orbiting Io in battle grid mode.]
[Ext. view of the SDF-3A opening the Hyperspace Warp conduit and enters the conduit in a blaze of light. After a few seconds of Hyperspace Warp, the REF feet emerges just to see an entire Crongus Fleet Squadron in their way of Mars.]
Rick Hunter: All ships open fire!!
[The REF fleet fires upon the Crongus Fleet Squadron with Energy and Missile Projectiles.]
[Screen fades to black, and then a "To Be Continue" appears.]
