You just never asked

[Hetepheres eventually returns from Macross to her office in Alhambra by TSEN. And it might not be easy to see at a first glance, but she looks tired. Regardless, time for rest will come later, because now she has an announcement to make. One of her scarab-like helpers gives her a cup of something to drink.]

I never expected the giants to reach Earth. But at this point, it is a safe bet that what are they after is your ship, the Macross. The ship that is currently around the orbit of Uranus.

Some of you might have heard about it, and it is true; my people encountered these giants before. As well as Decepticons, and Wulgaru, and Aerogaters. We barely know much more about them than you do; our contact consisted mostly of exchanging projectiles, not words. Regardless, if you have any questions, I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

[She can be easily reached through the network or in person.]

The way you put it...

[Ataru's appeared from behind, a little disconcerted.]

They didn't have a lasting interest after encounters with your people, yet the Wulgaru have been hammering the solar system a while, the Decepticons seem interested to stay, and these... 'giants', probably won't leave due to the Macross.

[The console beeps indicating a video call. When you answer you see 2nd Lt. Bridges nursing a black eye and other fresh marks from a fight.]

I have one question to lead off with that I'm sure is on a lot of people's minds, why are we only finding out about this new threat now?

I'm sure you have your reasons and I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. From the mission logs I've read and your own reports you've been a great assistance but if we don't have information on what could be out there then we can be destroyed by an unknown threat before your people even arrive.

[One of the Jaeger pilots that showed up at Ataria island rings you up.]

"So...how many other hostile alien empires has your homeworld encountered, ma'am?"

[kill_all_vagans]

... But not the UE?

[[And Garrod, having not seen her before...]]

Woah!

Russel would come to talk to the alien commander in person on this matter.

"So you had a bit of a history with these giants? Is there anything that you can tell us and Macross? Did it belong to another enemy of theirs? If that's the case the booby trap with it's main gun would make a lot of sense..."
