I'm never buying a used spaceship again

1. [General mingle/volunteer]
The battle may be over, but there's a lot of work to be done. Good news! The entire 50,000 person population of South Ataria made it to shelters, and are now being safely extracted. Bad news: The Prometheus and Daedalus, two large UN spacy warships that were in the ocean around South Ataria, have had their entire crews killed by the sudden shift from south pacific oceans to deep space. They were naval ships, not space ships, after all.

So there's a lot of work to be done, some grim, some happy. Happy: rescuing survivors and getting them moved onto the Macross. Grim: Clearing the corpses out of the Prometheus and Daedalus so they can be docked with the Macross and their materiel taken aboard. Happy: rebuilding Macross City inside the Macross. Whatever you end up helping out with, there's a hell of a lot to be done! It'll get easier with time as the citizens of Macross City start to help out, but at first there's an almost insurmountable amount of stuff to be done.

Also, the ship is currently parked on an island, floating in space. That's probably worth noting too.

2. [Talk to the bridge crew; specify if you want, otherwise random.]
Being military people and all, you can probably catch one of the bridge crew at some time and pester them for answers about the Fold Drive and...well, everything that just happened. That said, they're all pretty busy now, so it'll be hard to find them off duty.

2 [Also, nice new plotline!]

A certain Rock-Star Jaeger pilot stops by the command deck, his right arm in a sling.

"Commander Misa Hayase?" He says, looking around the bridge and trying to spot her. "Ranger Beckett reporting. Could I talk to you real quick?"

[ships_full_of_missiles]

Ranger, I'm on duty. Can't you go bother someone else?

[genericbiggerbrother]

Yancy holds up his hands...well, hand singular in defense.

"I don't mean to get into your hair, ma'am. I just need to ask two things, and I'm gone."

He pulls out a small data chit, and offers it.

"First, could I put in a request for five technicians, to help haul Gipsy Danger through the TSEN and back to Earth smoothly? And second–"

[genericbiggerbrother]

Also in his hand is a card with a phone number on it.

"–Call me?" He says with a sly grin.

[ships_full_of_missiles]

Five technicians...We're short-staffed as it is, but if you can get them from the PPDC's stocks, it's approved. And as for your second request-

[She takes the card, reads it, then tears it into several tiny pieces right in front of Yancy.]

Go bother someone else, Ranger. I'm sure there's plenty of girls aboard who'd just love to hang out with you.

[Sniggering and a few whistles can be heard from the back part of the bridge. And maybe an "oh, snap!" from Kim.]

[genericbiggerbrother]

Yancy recoils from Misa's decisive rejection like a whipped puppy.

"Okay...got the memo." He blurts out, then composes himself. He stiffly salutes.

"Thank you for the request approval, Commander Hayase. I'll go cry–er, I'll go excuse myself now."

He turns and walks away, stumbling over the lip of the hatch as he goes.
