Hey, Basara, Gamlin, everyone else who was on the Lux mission. You're the only people we've got who have had a real engagement with the Protodevlin.

Any idea what we should expect on Operation Stargazer? Shaky intel is way better than no intel.

Modified NUNS variable fighters, unmanned automated drones, modified NUNS warships. We may also face actual Protodevilns, miss.

The last one is what I'm worried about. Any idea what they're capable of? Weaknesses?

One was able to destroy the planet Lux, another was capable of stopping fold operations. We do not have a realistic grasp on their maximum capability, unfortunately.

Weaknesses are... minimal at the moment. Computer simulations indicate that the entire Macross 7 fleet can at most handle two Protodevilns at once with any reasonable chance of success.

In other words, the usual one-chance-in-a-million GDF odds.

The standard Protodevlin army is easy to handle with ordinary means. They have superior numbers, but our pilots have better training and the enemy operations are easy to disrupt.

But the Protodevlin themselves are something else altogether. We didn't encounter a lot of them but each had very different capabilities - and the only constant was that they were extremely powerful.

The best way to handle one is to distract it while the Macross Cannon fires... but there is also that man, Basara. I hate to admit it, but his singing has an effect on Protodevlin.

[klan_klan_klan]

I'll be the last person to question the power of music. Just in case we can't sing at them, though, do you think reaction weaponry would do the trick?

[gamlin_kick]

A whole planet was destroyed the last time. Reaction warheads are the only thing we can use that's even close to this level of power.

So yes - if the Captain gives authorisation, we should arm all our units with them. There's still a possibility Protodevlin will barely notice our attacks, but I do not intend to despair until I try everything we have.
