A CHARACTER OF DESTINY...

The Robotech jouney begins for Lynn Minmei with a diary entry...

Dear Diary,

Launch day's really been fun, even though Jason's making himself a bit of a pest. I met a couple of really dreamy guys, pilots, I guess-a very tall blond one and a cute little darkhaired one.

I'm going back out this evening to sing at the municipal center picnic. Maybe they'll be there! I might-hey! I think something's going on outside. More later.

- From the diary of Lynn-Minmei

RN - Genesis, Epigraph, Chapter 8

 When I first watched the series...I honestly found her annoying.

 In the Novels, from Macross, The Sentinels, and to the End of the Circle...the character of Minmei....is a survivor...plain and simple.

 I feel so nostalgic going back to her beginnings in the RNU...

As we begin the Novels saga, it is the island where Zor's ship crash lands after it is sent by the scientist himself to Earth in order to fulfill its destiny. But how much do we know about Macross Island's actual location?  Well, not much; The animated series narrates; "...Macross Island in the South Pacific." You may not know it now little island...but BIG things are in your future! In Robotech: The Graphic Novel, we get a little more. That map is at almost a 90 degree viewing angle! When we get to the Novels, we are given something a little more specific, albeit brief, but it gives "At last the object slowed, obviously damaged but still capable of maneuvering. Its astonishing speed lessened to a mere glide—except that it had little in the way of lifting surfaces and was unthi

NOT SEEN ON ROBOTECH TV: ROLF EMERSON

When Carl gave the mission for Brian and Jim to take the Robotech story to the realm of science fiction literature, I'd like to think that there were moments where they ran into secondary characters and said..."We gotta expand on him/her! Maybe not the whole backstory, but enough to make them an essential piece to the Robotech narrative. Case in point; "Major General Emerson, Chief of Staff, Ministry of Terrestrial Defense" ...Army of the Southern Cross. In the RNU...this was the result of BLACKMAIL! Excerpt; Leonard tilted his big head to regard Emerson. "And on your end?" "I want my own rank reinstated." "Only if you agree to serve the Army of the Southern Cross." Emerson nodded, as if having anticipated the counterdemand. "But in return I'll expect to be granted absolute authority over Space Station Liberty." "Granted, Major General Emerson." That particular story though.....is for anoth
