Breetai's Battlecruiser.

Author's Note: I know that for the Factory Moon episode that Minmei and Lynn-Kyle were not on board Breetai's cruiser, but for the AU of this story, please consider the deviation.

Lord Breetai was not feeling well at all. Ever since the Micronian contact, he'd been nursing a nasty virus that made him feel congested and feverish and in a Zentraedi that could be a major problem. And then Admiral Gloval had notified him that he was going to be receiving a contingent from New Macross, in the contingent were his former second in command, Exedore and the famed Micronian-Zentraedi couple: former Quadrono Leader Miriya Parina and her Micronian mate Maximilian Sterling. Also included in the contingent were Commanders Lisa Hayes and Rick Hunter.

Also for the sake of the mission, Lynn Kyle and Minmei were pulled off their New World Tour to help the mission succeed in the recovery of the Factory Satellite. Her cousin was in no way amenable to the fact that this mission was to help the Earth and made his objections loudly and vocally known to the point where Admiral Gloval had exploded and thundered at Kyle to be silent. Contrary to expected, Kyle had shut up.

"Micronian shuttle approaching, sir." One of the Zentraedi announced "Commander Breetai."

"Very well…" The itching in Breetai's nose was very discomforting.

"Sir. The Micronians are boarding the battlecruiser, sir." The Zentraedi stated about fifteen minutes later.

"Thank you, Dror." Breetai replied as he raised a massive hand to pinch his nose to keep from letting loose a thunderous sneeze. The last time the force cracked the observation bubble and it had taken several-Zentraedi individual-hours to fix. (Despite the fact that the Zentraedi were subservient to the Robotech Masters, the Zentraedi themselves had to learn how to fix certain things on board their ship to operate at prime effectiveness."

When the Micronian contingent walked over the walkway, they could see Lord Breetai, a massively brawny built Zentraedi standing well over eighty feet tall.

"Miriya Parina Sterling…" his voice boomed over the echoing observation bubble. "Tsen Parina! Par Dessu!" he said as he thumped a massive fist the size of Rick Hunter himself to his chest.

"Par Dessu, T'sen Breetai." Replied Miriya with a solemn nod of her head. To her it seemed that Lord Breetai was unwell. His countenance on his brown-shaded face looked ashen and it appeared as though he was perspiring heavily.

Both Lynn Kyle and Minmei were shocked into silence at the size of the Zentraedi.

"Commanders Hunter and Hayes. I welcome you to my ship." Lord Breetai said in a reverberating basso profundo. "I'm afraid I must have caught something from the emissaries that have been here previously. So I hope you will forgive me if I do not linger long."

"Thank you, Lord Breetai." Rick and Lisa replied as they gathered their things and were escorted out of the area. Minmei and Lynn Kyle decided to linger for a brief moment as they surveyed the enormousness of the bridge. It was as if they were standing on the edge of a five storey building. It was a long way down.

Minmei looked over to see poor Lord Breetai convulse once, twice…as he tried to hold in a gigantic sneeze. This wasn't going to be good.

"AH-CHOO!" Breetai let loose a gigantic sneeze which blew Minmei and Kyle unfortunately over the edge of the walkway. Breetai was unable to catch them in time as they fell screaming into the now cracked observation bubble from where it was almost 600 feet down to the floor of the ship. Staring down at their still crushed forms from which blood pooled. "I believe we now do have a problem." Breetai intoned and then sniffed once as he tried to keep himself from sneezing again. "I do feel that we should ask the Micronians if they have anything to help this, since I received this from a Micronian."
