[The Robotech Masters' shock troops overwhelm Army of the Southern Cross forces in two cities just outside Monument City. As ASC commander Gen Anatole Leonard orders all survivors to regroup at Monument, the Masters appear on a videoscreen]
Attention, Commander Leonard, attention Commander Leonard. Attention all leaders of the Southern Cross Defense Force. Listen very closely to what we have to say. We are now capable of demolishing you completely with little effort. We advise you to surrender and leave your planet immediately. Evacuate the planet within 38 hours...
Or we will be forced to destroy your homeworld.
Now, you listen!!! We underwent much suffering and agony to make this planet our home. We're not going to just give it up.
Commander Leonard, this is an ultimatum, not a suggestion. The Invid have already detected the presence of Protoculture on this planet, you must now leave this matter to us.
It is impossible to evacuate our citizens and troops within 38 hours. Absolutely impossible. [pleads] More time, we must have at least seven days.
Forty-eight hours then, and no more.
But we can't!!
Forty-eight hours, Commander. [video signal ends]
