However, a drastic reconfiguration of the ship can restore the connections. The Zentradi send out a few ships to observe the Macross and Global is forced to transform the Macross even at the cost of destroying some of the rebuilt city now nestled within it. Meanwhile, Roy and Minmay suggest to Hikaru that he should join the military so that he can continue flying.
