Scene 21: [Jack banks his fighter on screen as missiles speed towards his fighter. Jack's fighter banks away off screen as missiles fly directly toward camera and then fly under camera p.o.v...]

Scene 23: [Jack's fighter flies directly towards the camera, just before it flies into the camera the fighter banks sharply to the left. The missiles follow off screen.]

Scene 24: Close on Jack's view screen. The trajectory of the missiles can be seen as "blips" approaching the center of the screen.]

Jack Baker: (internal thought) I just can't let the General stay out there on his own.

Scene 25: [Jack reaches for the controls. Repeat of scene 2 with slightly different angle on background.]

Jack Baker: (internal thought) Got to do something... got to go in after him!

Background goes white and then slowly color returns to background which now reveals that Jack folds has been in a simulator on test flight simulation. Jack folds his arms in disgust at being "destroyed" by the enemy.]

Technician #1: (voice over P.A. system) Test concluded. Please exit simulator.

Scene 45: [Low angle shot as canopy of simulation fighter rises to lift Jack out. The image of the injured Rick Hunter dissolves to reveal a faceless metallic android (a male version of Janice's android design). Rick Hunter's image was merely a hologram projected onto the "robot."]

Technician #1: Switch off hologram.... prepare simulator for next candidate.

Scene 46: [Pan up from simulator. Jack is exiting the cockpit. A control room can be seen in the distance.]

Scene 51: [Reverse angle. Close on Baker. As he tries to make excuses Rick's hand enters foreground to point his mistakes.]

Jack Baker: Well, Sir.. .I thought that this exercise was staged to determine how we'd act under fire.

Rick Hunter: (off screen) In the first place, Cadet, you were too quick to drop from autopilot... Second, your grandstanding could have cost the lives of the entire squad. And third, you didn't even manage to rescue me.

[As Rick criticizes Jack, Jack seems to get extremely embarrassed and shameful of his performance.]

Scene 52: [Rick dismisses Jack. Jack snaps to attention. Salutes and quickly spins to march off screen right.]

[Truck dissolve to:]

Scene 73: [Pan from Exedore to Lang to Adams to Leonard as Exedore continues his speech. Multiplane shift during pan.]

Exedore: (continuing) for security reasons. There is good reason to believe that the Robotech Expeditionary Forces will not be called upon to engage the enemy in combat.

Scene 74: [Close on Adams and Leonard. Multiplane shift as the two officers listen to Exedore's speech.]

Exedore: (continuing) We are all hoping for a diplomatic solution. Even so, we are taking with us a considerable armada of Robotech weaponry.

Scene 75: [Shot from behind Exedore. He is backlit while the assembled press continued to take occasional photos.]

Exedore: I take this opportunity to end the rumors that the REF will leave the Earth defenseless. At this moment the Earth has no real enemies.. and by the time that General Leonard has...

Scene 76: [Extreme close up of General Leonard. He is reacting unfavorably to what Exedore is saying. His reaction can be read in his face.]

Exedore: (continuing off screen) managed to rebuild the Robotech Defense Force we need never fear in our ability to defend the planet against alien invaders. The Earth has entered a period of reconstruction and peace.

Scene 77: [General Leonard bolts up in reaction to what he has just heard.]

Leonard: Mr. Chairman.. Ambassador. Your comments are totally irrelevant to the topic of this press conference. Your implications that the Robotech Defense Force will be a "lame duck" until the return of the REF is absurd.

Scene 79: [Leonard, Adams;Lang and Exedore can be seen on a things down. ..strobe lights flash rapidly.]

Scene 83: [Close on Edwards as he reaches off screen for a drink. He has now begun to laugh to himself. His hand returns with a glass which is half full. He lifts the glass to his mouth and drinks it in one swift motion.]

Exedore: (continuing off screen) I would like to take this opportunity to stress the fact that the Robotech Masters have not engaged in actual combat for nearly six generations...

Scene 83: [Repeat of scene 80. TV monitor. Now showing close up of Exedore and Dr.Lang]

Exedore: Our mission will be a success and we will all return to a new and peaceful world.

Elder: (struggling) I know nothing about your flowers of life.

Scene 105: [Extreme close up on Regent's eye.]

Elder: (off screen) And if there was a secret plantation no one would tell a useless old man like myself.

Scene 106: [The Regent discards the old man.]

Regent: These prisoners know nothing. Get rid of them and call for the Inorganics!

Enforcer: (As the Regent exits off screen right) Yes, my lord!

Scene 112: [Elder catches the grenade thrown by the Enforcer.]

Young R.M.: What is it, elder?

Scene 134: [Regent and scientist walk through Inorganic storage facility. The camera slowly pans this room to show the scope of the Invid stockpile. The two enter from the bottom of the frame and continue to walk through the storage area.]

Regent: The Regiss thinks that I am a failure. She has returned to Optera. I feel my wife will try to undermine my authority. Therefore I must go back.

Scene 135: [Medium close as they talk.Background pan cycle.)

Regent: That is why I am putting you in charge, Tesla. You will control the Inorganics and make sure that no stone is left unturned.

Tesla: I am honored, my Lord.

Regent: Honor is for fools. Do not mistake my intentions.

Scene 138: They continue to rise inside the tube.

Scene 139: [Close up of the tube as the Regent continues to float up.]

Scene 174: [Close on renegade Robotech Masters who have avoided detection from the Invid are watching the approaching Inorganics with electronic binoculars (Note: twin A = "Seb" Twin B = "Jerl")]

Scene 220: [Cabell gestures and comments. Camera pans to include Rem. Focus on Cabell then rack focus on Rem.]

Cabell: These things are inorganic. Therefore they must all be controlled from a central source.

Scene 221: [repeat of scene 158 with different image in telescreen.]

Cabell: Simple, Rem. We must find that source.

Scene 223: [Medium close on Rem.]

Scene 224: [Close on Rem in profile. Computer images flash on the telescreen]

Rem: (continuing) But do you think that is possible?
