Episode 2: Ishtar

Lord Feff follows Hibiki and Ishtar back to Earth ad turns in the story. He doesn't tell anyone other than his friend Mash about Ishtar. As he's filming the sleeping Ishtar for his story, she wakes and is afraid, wondering where she is. After being fitted with a translator, she is able to understand Hibiki and he is able to clam her down enough to learn her name. She learns there are Zentran and Meltran (males and females) living together on the planet with the humans. While they are talking, the SDF-1 Macross emits another energy discharge, and Ishtar says that it's the light of the Alus. Hibiki then turns on the news and learns that the military is preventing SNN from broadcasting all of the footage and is glossing over the actual events of the battle.
