    Robotech Masters transfer to a different ship to
    continue their mission for the matrix.  
 
    General Emerson's flagship is destroyed and he,
    Lieutenant Crystal, and Lieutenant Dennis Brown are
    taken prisoner by the Robotech Masters.  
 
    Nova Satori of the Global Military Police orders the
    arrest and apprehension of the "alien" Musica for
    questioning but is unable to find her.  Bowie has
    taken her to the site of the SDF-1 to see the
    Flowers of Life.  The 15th follows their trail, in
    turn Nova follows the 15th, and in turn again Zor
    follows Nova.  Zor sees the Flowers of Life and his
    memory reawakens and he becomes the original Zor.  
 
    The Robotech Masters bargain with Emerson's party
    for Zor and Musica to be returned to the Masters.  

    The Masters flagship descends towards the site of
    the SDF-1, hoping to retrieve the matrix before it
    mutates into the Flower of Life, then rendering the
    matrix useless.  

    All forces of the planet join at Monument City for a
    final battle against the Masters.  In result,
    Monument City is leveled and there are no survivors.  
    Commander Leonard and staff are also killed.  

    The Masters are killed by Zor and Dana-- after touching
    the two leads of a new matrix made by the Robotech
    Masters.  Dana has a vision of the coming of the Invid,
    telepathically communicated to her by her sister, Aurora. 

    The 15th, Marie, Dennis, and the remaining clone
    population of the Masters leave the doomed ship in
    transports and lands near the SDF-1 site.  

    Zor Prime's attempt at destroying the Masters'
    flagship results in the loosing of the Flowers of
    Life from the Protoculture matrix concealed within
    the spacefold drives of the buried SDF-1; spores
    cover the planet and the Flower takes root, alerting
    the Regis's sensor nebula.  

    General Emerson, Octavia(one of Musica's Triumverate
    sisters), Zor Prime, and Lazlo Land die.

    End of the Second Robotech War.  

    Max, Miriya, and Aurora Sterling arrive on Tirol
    from Haydon IV.  
 
    The Invid "disappear" from Tirol's corner of the
    galaxy.  It is assumed that the Regis has begun her
    move against Earth.  

    The Mars Veritech Group leaves Tirol with 18-year-
    old Scott Bernard aboard.  

    Jonathan Wolff's ship returns to Earth.  An anti-
    Invid underground is established before the Regis
    arrives.  Dana commandeers Wolff's ship after the
    drives are retrofitted with a device perfected by
    former 15th ATAC whiz-kid, Louie Nichols and folds
    for Tirol.  

    The Robotech factory satellite returns to Earthspace
    from Tirol.  

    Optera is fully seeded with the Flowers of Life and
    given over to the homeless Praxians, who rename the
    planet "New Praxis."  The Flowers become the crop
    for a new Second Generation Protoculture matrix
    created by Rem, who has managed to tap his progenitor's,
    Zor's, memories.  

    The Invid Regis arrives.  Her newly hatched army of
    soldiers and mecha destroy the factory satellite and
    easily defeat Earth's depleted defenses.  Hives and
    farms are set up worldwide, and some Terran captives
    are forced to work in labor camps in Canada,
    harvesting Flowers and processing nutrient for use
    in the Regis's Terror Weapons and battlecraft.  

    Admiral Lisa Hunter resumes command of the SDF-3.  

    Arrival of Dana Sterling on Tirol.  With her are
    Bowie Grant, Sean Phillips, Angelo Dante, Musica and
    Allegra, and some of the Masters' clones.  
 
    Shadow Fighters and neutron "S" missiles are
    developed by the REF for the assault against Earth.  
    Instantaneous spacefold becomes a reality for the
    main-fleet ships.  

    Arrival and defeat of the Mars Attack Group sent by
    the REF.  

    Scott Bernard's fiancee, Marlene Rush, dies with the
    Mars Group flagship.  Scott Bernard crashlands on Earth,
    but continues his mission:  To reach the Regis's central
    hive complex, code named Reflex Point.  

    Upon crossing a desert on his Cyclone, he meets
    Rand, who has just discovered the fallen flagship
    from the Mars Group and was joy riding on a newly
    acquired Cyclone when Invid scouts appeared.  Scott
    engages the scouts and destroys them easily with the
    Cyclone's configurable armor.  

    Scott and Rand approach Laako City where they pick
    up Annie LaBelle.  The population of the city turns
    them over to the Invid Shock Troopers, but with the
    help of a mysterious red Cyclone rider, the Shock
    Troopers were dispatched.  The red Cyclone rider
    disappears.  

    Scott and company enter a dust-ridden town and
    attends a club where they see and meet the famous
    singer Yellow Dancer.  A brawl breaks out and Scott
    ends it quickly with a shot from his blaster.  Here
    they meet the mysterious red Cyclone rider, Rook
    Bartley, former of the bike gang, the Blue Angels.
    Here, Lancer(a male robotech freedom fighter in the
    guise of a female singer, Yellow Dancer), and William
    "Lunk" Benovitch(a former robotech bio-maintenance
    engineer) join Scott on his journey to Reflex Point. 
    Lunk provides Scott with a fully maintained and
    operational Alpha fighter.  

    Scott's team discover that the Invid can sense the
    presence of Protoculture emanations.  

    Scott's team makes a pit stop at Norristown.  Using
    a Yellow Dancer Concert as a diversion, the team
    makes away with a truck load of canisters of
    Protoculture-- fuel for their Robotech mecha.  

    One night, Rook returns to her home town to settle a
    dispute which has troubled her ever since she left.  
    Unknowingly to her, Rand is curious and follows.  
    She has a showdown with the leader of the Red Snakes
    who has harassed the town ever since her ex-
    boyfriend, Romy, had disbanded the Blue Angels.  

    The team approaches Roca Negra.  Lunk tries to
    fulfill a promise to a friend by returning a book to
    his father, Alfred Nader, an intelligent man who
    spoke out against the Invid slavery, was killed by
    the townspeople in fear of him endangering the town.  

    The team encounters Colonel Wolff and his anti-Invid
    underground.  For months, Wolff has been giving
    Robotech soldiers to the Invid in exchange for canisters
    of Protoculture and the possible release of his wife and
    son from imprisonment by the Invid.  Realizing his grave
    mistake in his actions, Wolff, in Scott's VT, aids
    the team in a short skirmish with the Invid and is
    mortally wounded.  Colonel Jonathan Wolff dies.  

    The Regis performs clonings in Genesis Pits(similar
    to those on Praxis) to acquire the ultimate form her
    Invid should take for their new life on Earth.  
 
    Scott, Rand, and Annie, while on a scouting mission,
    discover one of the Regis's Genesis Pits.  During an
    earthquake, the Genesis Pit is destroyed with all
    the life forms evolved in it.  

    The simulagent Ariel(cloned from a female human
    body found in a wreckage of the Mars Division
    flagship) is birthed and is planted in the route
    Scott's team is heading.  

    The team approach Point K, a rendezvous for all
    surviving units of Scott's invasion force,
    consisting of close to a thousand veritechs, ground
    units, assault mecha, supplies, and ammunition.  But
    instead of finding a base, they find a graveyard of
    ships.  The Invid had already obliterated all forces
    at Point K.  The team enters the area in search for
    ordinance but Scott goes in to seclusion.  Rand and
    Rook scout the area and finds Ariel at a nearby
    town.  Ariel, similar to a newborn child, has not
    learned to speak.  Rand and Rook assumes her to be
    in shock.  Lunk and Lancer discover two operational
    Alpha fighters and one intact Beta fighter among the
    wreckage.  The group comes together to report their
    findings and Ariel is given the name Marlene by
    Scott for she is in the likeness of his deceased
    fiancee, Marlene Rush.  

    The team approaches a mountain range and is quickly
    warned by the nearby town, Deguello, that the ranges
    are constantly patrolled by the Invid fortress built
    there.  A map of the secret routes to pass through
    the patrols were sold, but through Lancer's old time
    girlfriend, Carla, she reveals to him that the maps
    are fake and the citizens who buy and follow the map
    were going to their dooms.  

    Rand and Annie volunteer and successfully deactivate
    the Invid Brain to prevent the detection of incoming
    Robotech mecha. The Brain and the fortress is destroyed
    nearly trapping Scott and his veritech inside.

    The Regis loses contact with the simulagent Ariel in
    result of interacting with humans and their emotions.  

    Rand, caught in a sandstorm, inhales pollen from the
    Flower of Life and learns of the real reason why the
    Regis is on Earth.  

    The team enters a jungle forest region once controlled by
    the Zentraedi during the Malcontent Uprisings.  Micronian
    slaves were used then and the inhabitants now have been
    reduced to primitive levels.  Lancer, mistaken as a
    woman, is kidnapped.  

    The team rescues Lancer and rids the valley of Invid
    Shock Troopers.  They make rafts to go down stream
    past an Invid hive but Annie stays behind as a
    jungle queen.  

    Scott's team enters an old abandoned city but are
    followed by the Invid.  After taking refuge in an
    old subway, the Invid caves in the subway exits in
    hopes of burying the Robotech rebels.  Upon escaping,
    Annie rejoins the team.  
 
    Prince Corg and Princess Sera are transmutated to
    human form and are ordered to go out and seek the
    simulagent Ariel for the cause of her disfunction.  

    The team finds a few left over naval ships from the
    Second Robotech War to cross the Gulf of Mexico.  They
    set a trap for the Invid patrols and Rook is wounded in
    the battle.  

    The team takes a rest at a once beautiful beach
    resort.  Lancer has a run in with the Invid Princess
    Sera and reports to Scott that the Invid are using
    human pilots for their mecha.  Sera is disturbed by
    her first encounter with the human emotions in her
    created by Lancer.  

    Scott is taught how to swim by Rand and Annie

    Sera prepares an ambush for the rebels in a high
    mountain-pass near Baja California.  Upon seeing
    Lancer's face, Sera hesitates a moment too soon to
    give the order to fire and the rebels escape.   Sera
    encounters Ariel for the first time.  

    The Jupiter Attack Wing of the REF folds for Earth

    Scott's team encounters one of the ships and its
    crew from Major Carpenter's defeated fleet from
    Tirol.  The ship and crew boldly sacrifice them-
    selves in destroying an Invid hive.  All crew are
    presumed dead.  

    The team enters the Rocky Mountains and finds the
    city of Denver(but really a secret underground shelter
    named Delta Six) buried beneath the ice.  
    They resupply and explore the city.  Scott and
    Marlene fall in love.  While he searches for the
    rebels, Corg discovers them in the city and attacks.  
    The team successfully escapes and self-destructs the
    power center in the city and buries the city once
    again.  Corg encounters Ariel for the first time.  

    The team holds a surprise birthday party for Annie.  

    The team runs into Dusty Ayres, a human specimen the
    Invid used to experiment on, replacing his entire
    right side with Protoculture-generated organs
    without the use of any anesthetics, while his
    friends stood by and watched.  He wages war on all
    Robotech soldiers and Scott rounds up a posse to
    hunt for him until the Invid attacks.  With some
    encouragement from Rook, Dusty aids Scott in the
    battle and is killed.  

    The liberation of the city of Mannattan (formerly
    New York City).  Sera encounters Ariel again and
    asks her why she hasn't reported to the Regis.  
    Ariel is ignorant to the fact that she is an Invid.  

2035 The Jupiter attack wing arrives in Earthspace and is defeated. Photojournalist Sue Graham updates Scott and his team on the present situation of the REF main fleet. Shadow Fighters are introduced. The Synchro cannon(adapted by Dr. Nichols) is destroyed. Graham sees an Invid with the body of a human. Marlene and the rebel team discovers she is an Invid. Sue Graham dies.

    The REF main-fleet ships(Saturn and Neptune Groups)
    are folded from Tirol to Earth under the command of
    General Reinhardt.  The attack against Reflex Point
    commences in space and on ground.  Scott's team join
    forces with the ground troops and the Shadow Fighters 
    make up the main attack group in space.  

    Marlene leads Scott and his team in to the home hive
    to speak with the Regis.  

    Scott battles with Corg and is shot down.  Rand is
    also shot down by Corg and wounded.  Scott returns
    in a Beta fighter and kills Corg.  

    Upon seeing the REF defense lines crumbling, General
    Reinhardt orders the launch of the neutron "S"
    missiles.  Seeing this threat, the Regis and her children
    take leave of the planet in the form of a phoenix of
    mindstuff, annihilating the remaining orbiting REF ships
    and its crews in the process.  
 
    The SDF-3 fails to appear in Earthspace.  Rick turns
    40(or 45 in chronological years); Lisa turns 45(or
    50); Roy turns 5.  

    Upon falling in love with Lancer, Sera remains
    behind on Earth.  Marlene also remains behind.  

    End of the Third Robotech War.  

    During Yellow Dancer's final concert, Lancer reveals
    his true gender and identity.  

    Scott Bernard, in a salvaged Alpha-Beta fighter,
    leaves his past, his friends, and the Earth behind
    to return to Tirol to begin a search for the missing
    or lost SDF-3 battle fortress.  

    The Ark Angel and the remainder of the REF fold for
    Earth.

    The Ark Angel has been spared the fate of the rest
    of the main-fleet ships and positions itself in
    orbit above the recovering Southlands.  They meet up
    with Scott and he informs the Plenipotentiary
    Council on Tirol the results of the Third Robotech
    War and the SDF-3's failure to arrive.  

    Scott Bernard is promoted to the rank of colonel.  

    Various Protoculture-based Robotech mecha ceases to
    function all over the quadrant.  Transportation is
    reverted back to chemical resources, museum aircraft
    are put into use.  

    Scott Bernard and Vince and Jean Grant commence a
    search for the missing fortress aboard the Ark
    Angel.  

    On Haydon IV, Veidt and Exedore are present at the
    reawakening of the planet's Awareness.  Max and his
    family are also on-planet.  Cabell is on Tirol.  
 
    The great god Haydon returns to Haydon IV.  Haydon
    IV leaves its planetary orbit, all inhabitants are
    forced into below-surfaced chambers and are guarded
    by Haydonites.  The long awaited "Event"(a cosmic
    event that will alter the fabric of spacetime) has
    commenced its beginning programmed into the planets
    AI awareness eons ago.  Exedore and Veidt hypothesizes
    that somehow, the universe is shrinking.  

    The Karbarran fleet's command ship N'trpriz,
    attempting to rescue those imprisoned below the
    surface of Haydon IV, is obliterated by its own
    self-destruct sequence armed by the planet's
    Awareness.  

    Haydon IV executes a hyperspace fold to the Ranaath
    system, a black hole system and the receiving end of
    the energy pulse that accompanied the Invid
    departure.  
 
    General Vince Grant and Dr. Louie Nichols hopes to
    find the SDF-3 at the same place the Invid Regis
    fled to after her phoenix transformation and
    departure from Earth.  

    Ex-GMP Lieutenant Nova Satori leads the Homunculi
    Movement on Earth.  

    Scott returns to Earth in search of Marlene, hoping
    to find a clue of the whereabouts of the Invid
    Regis.  After a week of probing and asking, he finds
    Rand and one pregnant Rook in a pueblo near
    Trenchtown named Xochil, where Rand was writing his
    memoirs.  From there the trail leads to Roca Negra,
    where he finds Marlene with Lunk.  Annie had gone
    back to the jungle forest to live with Magruder.  
    Marlene explains that her sister Sera has a closer
    link with the Regis and should consult with her.  

    The Ark Angel successfully executes a trial fold
    jump to the far side of the moon and prepares to
    fold to Haydon IV where they hope to find a lead to
    the disappearance of the SDF-3.  
    Scott takes Marlene to New York(formerly named
    Mannatan) where Sera is with Lancer.  Sera
    prophesizes a little of the future to Ariel, then
    with her last breath, she dies and her body and
    spirit returns to be one with the Queen-Mother.  
    Scott and Marlene are escorted to Norristown where
    Marlene is taken to be interrogated.  

    Scott returns to the Ark Angel and with the Grants
    and council members, are informed by Dr. Nichols
    that the reason for the breakdown of mecha is that
    all 1st generation Protoculture from Zor's original
    matrix in the SDF-1 and those created by the Regis
    on Earth cease to function after the leaving of the
    Regis.  They realized that the fold and drive systems
    aboard the SDF-3 were from Breetai's original flagship,
    and the battle fortress was taken with the Regis as soon
    as she left Earth.  Also that Robotechnology is coming to
    an end and humans and all living creatures must now shape
    their own destinies, one they will fashion by themselves
    and not by Protoculture.  

    Scott is reunited with Marlene and is ordered to try
    to help her re-establish link with the Regis.  

    The Ark Angel arrives at the vicinity of Haydon IV
    but the planet is no longer there.  After picking up
    the survivors of the command ship N'trpriz, the ship
    then folds to Tirol to inform the Plenipotentiary
    Council of their findings.  All trails lead to the
    Ranaath system and preparations are made for the
    jump to the black hole system.  Karbarra declares
    war on Haydon IV.  

    Haydon IV defolds in orbit around the sixth planet
    in the Ranaath system and begins collecting
    radiation bleeds from the black hole.  
 
    Haydon IV reconfigures to begin production on ships
    to follow the trail of the Regis.  

Newspace: The arrival of the SDF-3 in Newspace-a universe of non-space fashioned by the Shapings of Protoculture and the Regis. Similar to the uniqueness of the SDF-1's fold drives which captures a quantum of hyperspace and conveys it into a world of time, the SDF-3 captured a quantum of time and had taken it into hyperspace. Newspace is outside the province of space and time. The SDF-3's fold drives have also disappeared, just as it had happened to the SDF-1 after its maiden fold.

      A series of experiments and extra-vehicular
      expeditions are made to test the conditions of the
      surrounding "space".  Captain Jack Baker is the
      first to make the excursion.  Rem enlightens the
      crew of SDF-3 that "newspace" is a universe in the
      making.  

      Retired 15th ATAC Corporal Bowie Grant is onboard
      with the Muses.  They struggle to replace the dead
      triumverate sister with synthesizers and samplers to
      recreate the spell-binding music the sisters once
      played aboard the Masters' flagship.  Minmei resumes
      her singing once again to try to reawaken Rem's
      memories of Zor.  

      Combined with the former members of the 15th ATAC's
      of the Southern Cross, Captains Jack Baker and Marie
      Crystal lead two squadrons of Veritechs.  Among them
      are:  Captain Sean Phillips, Sergeant Angelo Dante(he
      refused his commission), and Captain Karen Penn), to
      intercept the incoming "multiple bogeys of tentacles
      with no source" reaching out towards the SDF-3.
      Fighters that intercepted with the tentacles disappear,
      and are presumed missing.  Vital parts of the ship's
      reflex drive systemry disappear after the attack.  

2037 The Ark Angel folds to Karbarra to try to sway them from declaring war on Haydon IV before they are informed of the situation on the planet.

    Cabell informs everybody on the genesis of Haydon
    and his contribution to the evolution of the Invid,
    Karbarrans, Perytons, Spherisians, Garudans,
    Praxians, and all Local Group races.  Upon the
    mating of the Invid and protoculture and their
    transmutation(the Event), Haydon's race would come
    out of suspended animation, hook on to the tail of
    the Invid phoenix and follow them into another
    dimension.  

    The Ark Angel defolds in the Ranaath system and sees
    Haydon IV reconfigured and joined to a planet mining
    metals for the ships the planet is manufacturing.  

    Louie Nichols' cyber-team links with the planet's
    awareness to find the course plot for the ships so
    the Ark Angel can arrive ahead of Haydon's ships.  
 
    Communications with Exedore and the Sterlings are
    established.  

    With a false denouncement of love from Scott,
    Marlene has a seizure and confirms that the Regis is
    in the collapsed Ranaath's star.  

    In learning of the whereabouts of the SDF-3,
    preparations are made to hijack one of Haydon's
    newly built ships after the planet's Awareness has
    programmed the coordinates and course plot into the
    automatic computers for the ships to follow the path
    of the Invid into the black hole.  

    The Karbarran fleet arrives at Ranaath's star and
    begins to engage Haydon IV with their fighters.  

    Dana Sterling leads a rebellion against the planet's
    Awareness to free its prisoners.  

    Colonel Scott Bernard leads the mission to hijack
    Haydon's prototype ship.  Louie and his cyber-team are
    infiltrated into the planet's AI, trying to give
    clearance to Scott's team to take the ship without Haydon
    knowing it, and also hoping to throw the planet's
    Awareness into disarray by the coordinated multiple
    attacks.  

    The Ark Angel deploys shuttles to Haydon IV to pick
    up the hostages, including Exedore, Veidt, and the
    Sterlings.  

    Scott(with the help of Louie and his cyber-team)
    successfully hijack a Haydonite ship (christened the
    Peter Pan) and the Ark Angel ferries supplies and
    crew (including the Grants, Karen's father Doctor
    Penn, Marlene, Louie and his cyber-team, and the
    Sterlings) to the ship.  Upon completion, the ship
    continues its programming and embarks for the voyage
    into the black hole.  

    Exedore and Cabell discover a new found matter in
    the universe, anti-protoculture.  

    The Robotech Elders provide Haydon with the location
    of new found protoculture on New Praxis in exchange
    for rulership of the Local Group planets.  Haydon
    agrees but sees their planned betrayal to him and
    Haydon IV folds to New Praxis.  

Newspace: The SDF-3 encounters a planet Dr. Lang has fashioned. The ship plots a course for the newly formed planet.

      Lisa Hayes is puzzled by the strange actions of Roy
      (5 years old before Newspace) and the other children
      taken along on the SDF-3.  

      Rem has periodic flashes of his progenitor's life,
      the seeding and experimenting with the Flower of
      Life, while Minmei continues to sing with Bowie and
      the Muses.  

      The SDF-3 arrives in orbit around the planet(dubbed
      Omphalos).  Rick accompanies the landing party to
      survey the planet.  

      Minmei informs Lisa that she is carrying Rem's child

      Angelo and Gnea disappear from the scout team.  
      Kazianna Hesh leads a formation of Quadranos and
      battlepods down to the planet to aid the scout team
      in search of the missing members.  Roy, Drannin, and
      their peers form a circle in their nursery and begin
      chanting "Aurora".

      Angelo and Gnea reappear after meeting with the
      Invid Regis, and tells the scout team that the Regis
      has the fold systems and that the known universe is
      coming to an end.  Rick is recalled to the SDF-3
      because the children were in contact with Aurora.  
 

Rspace: Haydon IV arrives at New Praxis and commands the Praxians to bring all of the Flowers of Life to him.

    Aboard the Peter Pan, Marlene regains consciousness
    and Aurora is summoned to the SDF-3.  Aurora informs
    the children of the SDF-3 that help is on the way.  

    On Tirol, Exedore and Cabell meet with Local Group
    captains to plan the attack on Haydon IV now orbiting New
    Praxis.  

    Haydon IV completes transferring of 2nd generation
    Protoculture from the planet.  The Local Group fleet
    arrives with the Tracialle and Valivarre leading the
    attack.  While the fleet closes in on Haydon IV, the
    planet transforms into battle mode-similar to the
    transformation of the SDF-1.  

    The Tracialle is destroyed taking Haydon IV with it,
    but Haydon had launched fighters and the planet's
    Awareness speeds towards Tirol to seize the
    protoculture matrix developed by Rem.  

    Exedore and Cabell struggle to coordinate the
    evacuation of Tirol to underground shelters.  
    Tiresia is destroyed as Haydon IV's awareness mates
    with the matrix.  All knowledge and data of anti-
    Protoculture is also destroyed.  

    The Regis and Haydon battle for supremacy.  The
    Haydonite ships, not built for direct entry, were
    destroyed upon Haydon's entry into Newspace.  

Newspace: Rick, Lisa, Kazianna, and the parents of the children
arrive in the nursery where they finally come out of their trance, informing the parents that help is on the way in the form of Aurora and the others.

       Upon debriefing Angelo and Gnea, the SDF-3 realizes
       that all creation from Protoculture will cease to
       exist and that the Regis wishes to return to a pre-
       Zor state of existence.  

       Arrival of Peter Pan with Aurora guiding the ship
       towards the SDF-3.  The crew of the original RDF are
       reunited once again.  

       At the urgings of Rem and the children, a party was
       formed to returned to Omphalos to try to communicate
       with the Regis.  A patrol of Alphas had discovered
       an Invid hive and the party is shuttled down near
       the hive.  The party includes the Hunters,
       Sterlings, Grants, Kazianna and Drannin, Rem and
       Minmei, Dr. Nichols and his cyber-team, Dr. Lang,
       Scott and Marlene, Angelo and Gnea, Baldan, and
       Learna.  The party meets with the Regis and is
       informed of her ultimatum.  

       Max wins in combat with a black mecha fashioned by
       the Regis from Dana's dark side of her feelings of
       her parents leaving her behind on Earth.  

       After Max's battle, the party returns to the SDF-3
       and Dr. Lang and Dr. Nichols are placed in custody,
       but escape aboard the fortress.  

       The Regis and Haydon battle for supremacy.  

       Dr. Lang joins in one with the shapings of
       Protoculture with Dr. Nichols as the last person to
       see Dr. Lang ever again.  

       Upon returning to the SDF-3, the party rushes to the
       engine room in hope of that the SDF-3 children can
       somehow bring the fold system back to fold out of
       Newspace while the Regis is preoccupied.  With the
       help of Aurora and the voice of Minmei, the SDF-3
       children teleport the original fold system of the
       SDF-1 from the Regis's domain and is quickly hooked
       up to the SDF-3 systemry.  

       The SDF-3 executes a fold to realspace.  At the door
       between realspace and Newspace, the Regis and Haydon
       clash head-on(the Intersection, the end of the
       Shapings).  Both deities at once knew the true meaning
       of humbleness and precedented sensations of peace and
       acceptance.  The Regis takes the phoenix form again
       and takes flight one final time.  

       All throughout the SDF-3, the crew looks across space
       and time, and of places and people of the past.  
       Kazianna has visions of Breetai.  Drannin sees his
       father for the first time; Lisa has visions of her
       long lost love, Karl Riber, including visions of
       Claudia Grant, the bridge crew, and Captain Gloval;
       Rick has visions of Ben Dixon, Claudia Grant, his
       father's old flying circus, Roy Fokker and himself
       growing up while Roy II watches from Rick's arms;
       Dana has visions of her three godfathers on Earth
       and Zor's tormented life, and understood; Bowie has
       visions of his old friend Rolf Emerson; Scott has
       visions of both Marlene and Ariel intertwined;
       Ariel/Marlene has timescenes of the original Marlene's
       life and of her own race's struggle to survive on
       Optera; And Minmei has visions of her cousin Kyle, her
       parents, her lover Johnathan Wolff, and her
       song/soulmate, Janice.  

       After the Intersection, Haydon reaches out into the
       SDF-3(still in foldspace) and finds what he is
       looking for.  Rem and Minmei vanishes from the ship
       and are presumed missing.  The missing members of
       the Red and Blue Veritech squadrons are returned to
       the SDF-3.
