Rand, who has just discovered the fallen flagship
from the Mars Group and was joy riding on a newly
acquired Cyclone when Invid scouts appeared. Scott
engages the scouts and destroys them easily with the
Cyclone's configurable armor.
Scott and Rand approach Laacko City where they pick
up Annie. The population of the city turned them
over to the Invid Shock Troopers, but with the help
of a mysterious red Cyclone rider, the Shock
Troopers were dispatched. The red Cyclone rider
disappears.
Scott and company enter a dust-ridden town and
attends a club where they see and meet the famous

they meet the mysterious red Cyclone rider, Rook
Bartley, former of the bike gang, the Blue Angels.
Her, Lancer (a male robotech freedom fighter in the
guise of a female singer, Yellow Dancer), and Lunk
(a former robotech bio-maintenance engineer) join
Scott on his journey to Reflex Point. Lunk provides
Scott with a fully maintained and operational Alpha
fighter.
Scott's band of freedom fighters discover that the
Invid can sense the presence of Protoculture
emanations.

a Yellow Dancer Concert as a diversion, the team
makes away with a truck load of canisters of
Protoculture--fuel for their Robotech mecha.
One night, Rook returns to her home town to settle
a dispute which has troubled her ever since she
left. Unknowingly to her, Rand is curious and
follows. She has a showdown with the leader of the
Red Snakes who have harassed the town ever since
her ex-boyfriend--Romy--had disbanded the Blue
Angels.
The team approaches Roca Negra. Lunk tries to
fulfill a promise to a friend by returning a book
to his father, Alfred Nader, an intelligent man who
spoke out against the Invid slavery, was killed by
the townspeople in fear of him endangering the town.
The team encounters Colonel Wolff and his anti-Invid
underground. For months, Wolff has been giving
Robotech soldiers to the Invid in exchange for
canisters of Protoculture. Realizing his grave
mistake in his actions, Wolff, in Scott's VT, aids
the team in a short skirmish with the Invid and is
mortally wounded. Colonel Jonathan Wolff dies.
The Regis performs clonings in Genesis Pits (similar
to those on Praxis) to acquire the ultimate form her
Invid should take for their new life on Earth.
Scott, Rand, and Annie, while on a scouting mission,
discover one of the Regis's Genesis Pits. During
an earthquake, the Genesis Pit is destroyed with all
the life forms evolved in it.
The simulagent Ariel (cloned from a female human
body found in a wreckage of the Mars Division
flagship) is birthed and is planted in the route
Scott's team is heading.
The team approach Point K, a rendezvous for all
surviving units of Scott's invasion force,
consisting of close to a thousand veritechs, ground
units, assault mecha, supplies, and ammunitions.
But instead of finding a base, they find a graveyard
of ships. The Invid had already obliterated all
forces at Point K. The team enters the area in
search for ordinance but Scott goes in to seclusion.
Rand and Rook scout the area and finds Ariel at a
nearby town. Ariel, similar to a newborn child,
has not learned to speak. Rand and Rook assumes her
to be in shock. Lunk and Lancer discover two
operational Alpha fighters and one intact Beta
fighter among the wreckage. The group comes
together to report their findings and Ariel is given
the name Marlene by Scott for she is in the likeness
of his deceased fiancee, Marlene Rush.
2034 (cont) The team approaches a mountain range and is quickly
warned by the nearby town, Deguello, that the ranges
are constantly patrolled because of the Invid
fortress built there. A map of the secret routes
to pass through the patrols were sold, but through
Lancer's old time girlfriend, Carla, she reveals to
him that the maps are fake and the citizens who buy
and follow the map were going to their dooms.
To attack the fortress, the Living Brain must be
destroyed to prevent the detection of incoming
Robotech mecha. Rand and Annie volunteer and
successfully deactivates the Brain and the fortress
is destroyed nearly trapping Scott and his veritech
inside before the explosion.
The Regis loses contact with the simulagent Ariel
in result of interacting with humans and their
emotions.
Rand, caught in a sandstorm, inhales pollen from
the Flower of Life and learns of the real reason
why the Regis is on Earth.
The team enters a jungle forest region once
controlled by the Zentraedi during the Malcontent
Uprisings. Micronian slaves were used then and the
inhabitants now have been reduced to primitive
levels. Lancer, mistaken as a woman, is kidnapped.
The team rescues Lancer and rids the valley of Invid
Shock Troopers. They make rafts to go down stream
past an Invid hive but Annie stays behind as a
jungle queen.

followed by the Invid. After taking refuge in an
old subway, the Invid caves in the subway exits in
hopes of burying the Robotech rebels. Upon escap-
ing, Annie rejoins the team.
Prince Corg and Princess Sera are transmutated to
human form and are ordered to go out and seek the
simulagent Ariel for the cause of her disfunction.
2034 (cont) The team finds a few left over naval ships from the
Second Robotech War to cross the Gulf of Mexico.
They set a trap for the Invid patrols and Rook is
wounded in the battle.
The team takes a rest at a once beautiful beach
resort. Lancer has a run in with the Invid Princess
Sera and reports to Scott that the Invid are using
human pilots for their mecha. Sera is disturbed by
her first encounter with the human emotions in her
created by Lancer.
Sera prepares an ambush for the rebels in a high
mountain-pass near Baja California. Upon seeing
Lancer's face, Sera hesitates a moment too soon to
give the order to fire and the rebels escape. Sera
encounters Ariel for the first time.
Scott's team encounters one of the ships and its
crew from Major Carpenter's defeated fleet from
Tirol. The ship and crew boldly sacrifice them-
selves in destroying an Invid hive. All crew are
presumed dead.
The team enters the Rocky Mountains and finds the
city of Denver (but really a secret underground
shelter named Delta Six) buried beneath the ice.
They resupply and explore the city. Scott and
Marlene fall in love. While he searches for the
rebels, Corg discovers them in the city and attacks.
The team successfully escapes and self-destructs the
power center in the city and buries the city once
again. Corg encounters Ariel for the first time.
The team holds a surprise birthday party for Annie.
The team runs into Dusty Ayres, a human specimen
the Invid used to experiment on, replacing his
