Walking over to her newest patients bed, Canaria noticed he had woken up, and so had Raramia. Hearing him state his name, Ranma, she walked over to his bed and said,

"Hello, I am Canaria, the medical officer of the Macross Quarter attached to the Frontier. As I was walking over I think I overheard you introduce your self. Ranma, is that correct?"

Having met Raramia, he noticed another Redheaded woman enter the room.

As she introduced herself and asked a question he responded,

"Yes... My name is Ranma Saotome. Nice to meet you miss Canaria."

"Hello Ranma, I am glad to see you awake, the bridge has been alive with commotion... It is not every day that a cute young man like yourself is rescued from the vacuum of space."

"Thanks for thinking about me... Though I am still confused... Last I saw Raramia, she was over 7 meters tall... Was I hallucinating?"

Hearing that Canaria had a inkling suspicion that Ranma had never met a Zentradi, and he could have been in fold for a long time. She then asked, "What year was it last time you checked?"

"Well, last time I looked at a calendar it was 1996, but after loosing count of how much time past in that strange tunnel, I don't know."

Canaria was shocked, she did not expect her patient to be from before the macross landed on earth. No wonder he did not know what a Zentradi was. Apparently, she had a LOT of explaining to do.

"Well, this may be a bit shocking, but it is now 2059. Do you have any idea what a spacefold is?"

"No, I never was good at things outside of martial arts, last I remember before that strange tunnel was my 'friends' throwing a strange magical scroll at me."

"Magic?... Does that exist? From your descriptions though, I think that tunnel you were in is a spacefold tunnel. Spacefold is a method of faster than light transportation"

"Yea... Magic exists... I have been victim to far more magical events than I care to explain."

As ranma was talking, a pipe burst above him, spraying him with cold water.

She then responded, "Like this, magic curse from china triggered by water. Hot water returns me to my normal form. Very tragic story of young elf girl who drowned over 3000 year ago."

Canaria and Raramia were shocked... They had just witnessed a Ranma transform from a handsome young man into a cute young girl with pointed catlike ears, long wavy red hair, and a tail behind her. From the features, it looked like she was a cross between a meltran, and 3 other unknown species.

Ranma was in shock, he had just witnessed his father fall in a spring and a panda jump out of it... It is understandable why he failed to block and was sent flying into a spring on the far edge of the Springs.

"This is unexpected, young customer is heading to the old part of Jusenkyo."

"...Splash"

After falling into the spring Ranma gets out of the spring and notices that his chiseled chest is a lot more bulbous... Opening up his gi to find breats, he screaming.

"Young sir, it looks like you fall in Spring of drowned elf girl, tragic story of elf girl who drown over three thousand year ago."

"Why are you writing this down into a notebook," replied Ranma

"Well, this is the first time that someone has fallen into this spring and this spring is from before jusenkyo had it's first guide over three thousand year ago, so there was no witness to see what fell in."

"What do you mean elf girl"

"Look at your ears... You look like a young elf girl."

"Arg, this is all pops fault... Die Pops..."

"Careful young sir... Curses mix"

The guide felt uncomfortable as he watched a train wreck waiting to happen as the 2 martial artists continued to fight over the springs.

"...Splash"

"Young sir fall in Spring of drowned cat like creature who drowned 2500 year ago."

"...Splash"

"Young sir fall in Spring of drowned monkey girl who fell from sky and drowned 1500 year ago."

"...Splash"

"Young sir fall in Spring of drowned demon woman who fell in spring 700 year ago but then got out and continued her fight."

"So that is how it all happened... Suffice to say, it was all because my pops was stupid enough to go to a cursed Chinese training ground when he did not know a single word of Chinese."

Raramira was the first to recover from shock... She then stated,

"Well, you are cute in both forms"

Blushing, Ranma replied "thanks".

Now that the shock of the moment was over, Canaria returned to continuing her briefing on how things had changed.

"So I suppose I should start by saying 'Welcome to the Frontier', You are now 63 years in the future and a lot have changed since then."

"Can't you just find a way to send me back"

"I am not sure if that would be possible due it violating the laws of causality... The closest we could even do in theory is to send you to a parallel universe just like your own, but It would not be your home."

"Yea... I understand... The last time I tried time-traveling with the nanban mirror to remove my curse, we ended up completely messing up the time stream and then I think somehow it reset, cause at first I thought it was a dream."

"Well, moving on, in the year 2000, an alien spaceship, later named the Macross crashed into South Ataria, later named Macross Island. This resulted in a massive technological breakthrough as humanity as a whole feared war would come from the creators of the spaceship. Therefore we worked earnestly to understand and reverse engineer the ship. As we worked on the ship, we found that it was most probably crewed by a race of giants, who would later identify themselves as the Zentradi. War came eventually in 2009 when the Zentradi fleet folded into our system, and the ships main computer recognized them as enemies and fired the first shot, igniting a conflict we had hoped to avoid. The macross used an untested fold system that resulted in damaging the main gun's power conduits as well as vaporizing the fold manifold device, something we did not have the knowledge or ability to replace. In addition, the malfunctioning fold system took Macross Island with it, resulting in having to relocate over 70,000 civilians onto the Macross itself. After almost 3 years of fighting we managed to learn more about our foe and negotiate a piece treaty. It turns out that the Zentradi were a warier slave race who's creators had long since died out, and they had been just been following their last directive to eliminate the Supervision army. It turns out that the Macross was a crashed Supervision gunship that was being pursued by the Zentradi armada. Years later, series of colony fleets were sent out towards the galactic core, with the Frontier being the most recent one. On our ship, humans and Zentradi coexist. Young Raramia is a Meltrandi, or a female Zentradi. The Zentradi have technology that enables then to shrink themselves to coexist with humans. Since Raramia pilots a Queadluun-Rhea, a reproduction of the traditional Meltrandi mecha, she has to macronize herself in a macro/micronation chamber in order to pilot her mecha. This macronation procedure is far more successful on individuals with at least 1/16 Zentradi dna, but there are some cases where it has worked on humans, but most cases ended in hideous, often fatal, disasters."

Having finished listening to Canaria's lecture, Ranma was speechless... She did not realize that so much could have changed in even 10 years let along 63 years... Though, it kinda now made since why akane was married to ryoga when she went 10 years in the future. Realizing that trying to return home would probably be a fools errand, and like a wise man once told her, one should not dedicate their life to going back and reliving it, cause at the end of the day, they will have wasted their life on a fools errand. But she amended herself, thinking that if by some fluke she managed to get home, she would make the best of it.

Canaria, having finished her lecture said,

"Well now that I have finished giving some background information, everyone else on the Quarter is dieing to meet you. I can go get you some hot water if you would like."

"That would be great... Might as well grab some cold as well, since it will be a matter of time anyway until my curse is revealed, so might as well reveal it now to avoid confusion."

"Will do... I will grab some water and we can walk to the bridge."

-/-/- Spacebreak -/-/-

Several minutes later, Ranma (back in male form), Raramia, and Canaria were walking to the bridge to meet the rest of the crew, (and Catherine, almost forgot about her).

The bridge was lightly foaming with excitement, as the word was that the patient, had woken up and was on the way to the bridge. A few people were rather annoyed with the company, (the few being Catherine and Ozma), but overall the mood was Joyful. The suspense was intense as the bridge door began to open.

Stepping into the room and seeing a vast variety of faces, including a young blue haired pubescent girl with twin tails that looked like she should be at the playground, as well as 2 boys a bit younger than who looked barely old enough to be in the military. Deciding to cut the suspense, he started by saying,

"Hello, my name is Ranma Saotome, sorry about this."

Klan Klang was amused, she finally got to meet the young man that Rara stubbornly rescued, and man was he cute. She decided to start by saying

"My name is Klan Klang, Raramia and Nene over there are my squadmates."

"Aren't you a little young to pilot a mecha... And besides the other pilot looked a lot more mature."

Klan was incensed, how dare he bring up her deficiency... She could not help it that she did not look her age when micronized, but he had to bring up the part about her breasts.

"For your information, I am 17 years old. I just have a genetic defect where my micronized form is less mature than my macronized form."

Ranma, seeing his foot in mouth disease had struck again decided to apologize before she could pull out a mallet or something... Young girls were the most dangerous when they got mad.

"Sorry, did not mean to offend you... I guess I took things face value and said the first thing that came to mind... My apologies, hope you forgive me. I suppose I do recognize a resemblance between your 2 forms."

Still a bit miffed, but calmed down since Ranma had apologized instantly, something Mikhail never did, she realized that of course he would not know about her deficiency, and despite being a bit of a jerk, he was still pretty sweet and cute. She replied,

"I accept your apology"

Luca and Mikhail seeing Klan had kinda stolen the show decided that they should introduce themselves, though Mikhail some how had the strange urge to punch him for insulting Klan, despite the fact that he did it all the time.

"Hello, my name is Mikhail, and this is my friend Luca. We pilot in the VF-25 variable fighter squadron under Ozma Lee, the old man to my right."

Ranma looked over and say a slightly grayed man, but he was anything but old, he looked a bit younger than his father even.

"Hello, Ranma nice to meet you... We have been hearing all about you despite no one knowing your name... Nice to finally have a name to the face. This is my second in command Gillian, over there is Catherine Glass, she worked in the military branch of the Fontier and has some questions for you in relation to missing persons."

Looking around some more, Ranma saw a rugged old man at the helm, as well as three shapely bridge bunnies. The old man started to speak.

"Nice to meet you Ranma, I am Jeffry Wilder, Captain of the Macross Quarter, on the main radar is Monica Lang, on the warship management console is Mina Roshan, and in charge of weapon control is Ram Hoa."

Having met everyone on the bridge, except for Bobby who had been banned from the bridge due to the bunnies thinking he might freak out their new guest, and displayed his curse which earned him some sympathy points from Klan, and some hungry looks from several of the women, Ranma proceeded to talk with Catherine about how he got there.

Catherine was astonished, while she had heard of space fold cases where someone had been missing for a couple years, this was the first case of someone being missing for more than 20 years, and also the first case of an accident before Spacewar 1. She realized that there would be a lot of paper work to contact his remaining family... On a side note, perhaps he was related to Ranzo... That would help things a bit, but Saotome was a somewhat common Japanese surname name in the late 20th century, so she definitely had a lot of research to do.

A.N. It has been a long time since my last update... I have been busy with finals and other stuff. Anyway, Ranma curse has been revealed, I creatively changed his curse, to part meltran, part siayen, part ryoko, and part cabbit. Please read, review, and follow.

In the next chapter, I plan to send Ranma and Raramia to see Sheryl Nome, to get the story moving into Episode 1 of the Frontier.
