[REF Major John Carpenter is debriefed by Army of the Southern Cross commander Gen Anatole Leonard and Gen Rolf Emerson after he escapes his ship, which was sent on a suicidal run into one of the Robotech Masters' ships]
You mean you came here alone?!?! There's no more reinforcements coming from the SDF-3? Sorry Major, but we were hoping for more substantial assistance than that. You must be kidding.
I'm sorry sir, but what it boils down to is that you cannot expect any more support from the Pioneer Expedition at this time.
Huh?!?
I'm afraid it's true. I'm simply relaying the orders from General Reinhardt, commander of the mission, when I say they can offer you nothing more. You see sir, my attack wing was merely a last-ditch effort to join up with your fighters and knock the invaders from your orbit.
We all know how successful that little stratagem was!
No one was more aware of our failure than I, Commander, but however at this point in time, General Reinhardt can offer you only his prayers and his firm conviction that the fate of his Earth lies in you and the valiant forces under your command, sir.
The general's offer is a disaster.
I wonder if there will be anybody left on Earth to appreciate his prayers by the time he returns from space.
