<Synopsis.
Maximilian Genus, the leader of the Macross 7 Fleet, was initially unable to comprehend what had happened.

After receiving a big shock, he realized that the fleet other than Battle 7 had disappeared, and instead, old aircraft and naval vessels from when he was an active pilot, and conversely, variable fighters that seemed to be the most advanced that he had never seen, were floating in the nearby airspace, just like themselves.

In other words, were we in a future era than the one we were in?

After gathering numerous reports and clues, our conclusion was truly astonishing.

But as we continued our investigation, something even more unbelievable came to light.
