I thought I'd at least made it clear that Bowie Emerson (Southern Cross) became Bowie Grant (Robotech Masters), but I'll allow as how I only assumed he was direct descendent of Claudia and presumed from that he must also be descended from Roy Fokker. In any case, I neglected to mention that, since Claudia (and whatever other kin Bowie may have had) had supposedly left with the Robotech Expeditionary Force, Bowie had become the ward of Rolf Emerson, thus establishing an echo of their actual relationship in SC. It should be apparent that, although Robotech Masters was what first drew me in and got me interested in Robotech back when, I soon became so enamored of the original Southern Cross that I've forgotten most of what I once knew of the English adaptation. Ditto Macross and Mospeada. And, for what it may be worth, I came to love Orguss, the third Super Dimensional series, even more, although Southern Cross is a very close second. Maybe it's just the Haruhiko Mikimoto character designs. Or maybe it's that, just as Giant Gorg is an homage to King Kong, Orguss is essentially an homage to Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky...
