MACROSS Shooting Insight
Synopsis
After coming to, Maximilian Jenius, captain of the Macross 7 fleet, tried to wrap his head around what had happened.
Something massive had struck his ship, the Battle 7. Upon regaining consciousness, he discovered that the rest of the flagship’s fleet had vanished. Adrift nearby instead, was an older class vessel with weaponry of decades past, seemingly belonging to the New U.N. Military era. Also spotted were vessels outfitted with state-of-the-art technology that he’d never seen before.
“If I’m not mistaken, it would appear that we’ve somehow been transported into the future.”
It was an astonishing conclusion, one that the Captain had come to only after assessing all the information at his disposal. Further investigation, however, would soon uncover something even more incredible.
