"Dana In Wonderland" is the 55th episode of Robotech and 19th episode of The Masters Saga.
Summary[]
The 15th is captured, but not before making a startling realization about the nature of their enemies, the Robotech Masters.
Synopsis[]
Trying to escape Zor, the 15th Squad makes a scattered retreat into the depths of the giant ship. The Robotech Masters mobilize their sentries in an attempt to capture the Micronians before they spread more "emotional contamination."
As they race through the ship, Dana discovers many disturbing facts about the true nature of the civilization living onboard the ship. Independent thought and emotional responses are strictly forbidden. Transgressors are destroyed. All clones live to serve the Robotech Masters. What they believed to be androids are actually clones, biogenetically evolved from the organic cells of living beings. They are not mechanical creatures devoid of feeling.
In spite of their abilities as a fighting team, the cards are stacked against the 15th this time out. They are captured and brought before the Robotech Masters.
