Their plane caught in the grasp of a dead Zentraedi soldier,
Rick and Minmei are rescued by Roy, again. As they return
to the SDF-1, Minmei insists that she must return to her
family in the shelter. But Roy assures her that her family
will be fine and continues on to the SDF-1. Meanwhile on
the Zentraedi ship, Breetai and Exedore ponder a way to
capture the SDF-1 without causing it any damage. So they
launch an attack with the express orders not to damage the
ship. The SDF-1, now in space, sounds its battle alert.
Captain Gloval, fearing the ships destruction, decides to
attempt the untested hyper space fold. He orders the ship
to drop to 2000 feet above the Earths surface and execute
the fold. Rick, trying to impress Minmei, offers to fly
her to her family. As they take off, the SDF-1 executes
the fold. The fold brings the SDF-1 to the orbit of Pluto,
not the dark side of the moon as planned. The low altitude
fold has also brought Macross Island and a big chunk of
ocean to Pluto. Rick and Minmei, find themselves trapped
outside the SDF-1, in a plane leaking oxygen. They manage
to get aboard the SDF-1 through a hole made by a Zentraedi
battle pod. Gloval orders the 70,000 civilians, in the shelters,
to be brought aboard the SDF-1 so they can fold back to
Earth. Only one problem, the fold system has disappeared.
