Every one was glad to see Ben again.
"I managed to stockpile a supply of seeds. I've been cultivating them over the years" said Ben. He withdrew an old metal lunchpail. Inside were different seeds wrapped in salvaged tin foil.
"Thanks Ben. We've been living off processed slime mold byproducts since several months after Dolza razed the planet. It is good to know we will be able to grow real food again." said Admiral Rick Hunter.
"Well, these are only winter squash seeds. You will have to send a transport to retrieve saplings from Wisconsin". said Ben.
And so agriculture was enriched and expanded in the barren lands surrounded Macross City.
Meanwhile, out in space The Robotech Masters were on the way! One of the Robotech Masters was named Zod! "What are we going to do on Earth, Zod?" asked another Robotech Master.
"I'm not sure yet. We were the most infrequently watched part of the Robotech Trilogy." said Zod.
Suddenly a Subspace radio transmission came through. It was Alan Greenspan!
"What do you want?" asked Zod.
"When the Robotech Ship crashed on Earth it contained a hidden stash of Flowers. These flowers have extended the lifespans of myself and my friends" said Alan Greenspan. He and his friends had quickly assumed ownership of the Flowers of Life after the SDF-1 had been searched. "My studies of your culture indicate that my associates and I are most similar to you Robotech Masters. We should team up and make deals all over town".
"That is an interesting idea. We will discuss this in person when our ship reaches Earth's Orbit." said Zod.
Meanwhile, the next day. One of the bridge bunnies urgently paged Admiral Rick Hunter over the PA. He raced back to headquarters. Admiral Gloval and Admiral Hayes were waiting for him. "What is going on here?" asked Rick.
"We intercepted this video transmission yesterday." said Admiral Gloval. He pressed play on video device. Rick watched. Slowly an expression of horror crossed his face.
"Alan Greenspan is still alive" he muttered.
That weird looking guy, Exedore, spoke up. "Can you think of any reason he would try to contact the Robotech Masters?"
"I don't know much about the Robotech Masters. What are they like?" asked Rick.
"They are dicks" said Exedore.
