The Macross spaceship, which was once a part of Earth's fleet and was heavily damaged after being thrown into deep space, continues to be a home for Earth's last surviving people. In this episode, titled "Space Fold," the Macross crew is on the search for a newly discovered planet that could potentially be a new home for Earth's people.
As the ship travels through space, a strange anomaly begins to appear on the ship's sensors, causing the crew to become alarmed. It is revealed that the anomaly is a fold in space and time, a phenomenon that allows the ship to travel great distances in a matter of seconds. However, the crew is hesitant to use this technology as it is untested and could potentially lead to disastrous consequences.
Macross captain Bruno J. Global ultimately decides to take a risk and attempt the space fold, but the technology malfunctions and the ship is thrown into a completely different part of space. The crew soon discovers that they have been thrown into a battlefield, where two alien races are engaged in a fierce battle.
The Macross finds itself caught in the middle of the conflict, and the crew must fight to survive and escape. The episode features intense action sequences as the Macross crew battles against the alien races, using the ship's weapons to fight back and defend themselves against their attackers.
In the midst of the chaos, a young woman named Lynn Minmay, who previously worked as a part-time waitress on the Macross, manages to sneak into the ship's cockpit and starts singing a song in an attempt to calm the crew and diffuse the situation.
Her singing captures the attention of the alien races, who pause their battle to watch her perform. It is revealed that her singing has a powerful effect on the aliens, causing them to withdraw their weapons and surrender.
The episode ends with both alien races surrendering to the Macross crew, allowing them to safely leave the battlefield. The episode concludes with a sense of relief and hope as the crew continues their search for a new home for Earth's remaining people.
Overall, "Space Fold" is an action-packed episode that showcases the Macross crew's bravery and resourcefulness in the face of danger. It also introduces the character of Lynn Minmay, who becomes an important figure in the series. The episode sets the stage for the continuing search for a new home and the ongoing battles and conflicts that the crew will face along the way.
