Macross Delta

Hayate, a young part-time worker at the port of the planet Al Shahal, encounters Freyja, a girl who has hidden away in a container. She has travelled from her home planet to audition for the Tactical Sound Unit Walküre.

Delta Flight and Walküre quell the riot, forcing the attackers to withdraw from Al Shahal; Freyja travels with Hayate to planet Ragna for the Walküre audition but learns she is ineligible without qualifying. She begs Mirage for a chance to audition.

Before her debut as a Walküre at a vaccine concert on Randall, Freyja was restless. Just before the performance, Mikumo asked her what feeling she sings with. Freyja made up her mind to sing as a Walküre.

The Aerial Knights, who wield the Var with the legendary Singer of the Wind, swiftly brought down two stars; despite suspicions that Freyja is a spy, she maintains a determined and cheerful facade so those around her see through it.

Xaos and the New U.N. Spacy lose ground to manipulated soldiers infected by Vár; Messer scolds Hayate, who targets only the wings of enemy aircraft instead of the cockpit and warns him that such naive tactics will lead to his demise.

Inside a secret Windermere facility, Hayate and Mirage are outmatched by the Aerial Knights. Hayate tries to protect Freyja but is quickly overpowered; Bogue and the others declare their mission accomplished despite Freyja's anguished cries.
