Plot summary[]

During Zeraal's Malcontent campaign, Pegasus Squadron has been deployed. Aboard the Robotech Factory Satellite (Earth), Lisa Hayes and Dr. Emil Lang discuss the situation, and the risk that General Anatole Eli Leonard poses, politically. The pair surreptitiously orders the deployment of one of their prototype vessels while the staff is occupied by the Lynn Minmei concert.

Pegasus Squadron closes in one the missing Breetai's Flagship in Australia. They trip the automated defenses, but manage to board it, discovering a message left by Zeraal bragging about his victory by setting up a chain reaction at the Southern Grand Cannon. Pegasus Squadron realizes they won't make it over in time, but they are picked up by Colonel Rolf Emerson, aboard the UES Roy Fokker. Vince Grant reunites with his wife Jean Grant, who has been promoted to Chief Medical Officer.

Meanwhile, Zeraal's forces are setting up the trigger relays, but it is sabotaged by Breetai, who infiltrated the group after hiding aboard his flagship. He escapes in the melee, and reunites with Pegasus Squadron. The UES Roy Fokker must return to orbit, but the mecha strike force breaks in to the facility. Hunter engages Zeraal directly, mortally wounded him. He falls into the Reflex Furnace, triggering it before he dies, though the RDF unit escapes.

Later, they deal with the fallout, noting it will take a year for the radiation zone to reach a minimum safe level for cleanup. Hunter and Grant arrive at the Factory Satellite, where Hunter embraces Hayes.
