Memphis Egyptologist Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I found a copy of the Lost Two Years, but I'm not sure I can attach it. Anyway, I'll let Hurin know of it. Quote
hevangel2 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks for the translation. I would like to read the other one too. Quote
Hurin Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Yep, I'll be posting both of these soon. My monitor died at home. So I need to do it from work. But I didn't bring it in today. H Quote
Hurin Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Ah! Nevermind. I do have it here at work (thanks to leaving the email with the attached document on the server over the weekend). So, here are both documents. While they weren't everything I hoped they would be, they're still somewhat interesting. This ZIP file has both The Plundering Fleet and The Lost Two Years included. Best Regards, H Quote
Hurin Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Oops! And a big "thank you" to Memphis Egyptologist for finding the doc and contacting me! Best Regards, H Quote

Gubaba Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Resurrecting this thread because I'm finally nearing the end of "The Plundering Fleet." I should have it finished next week or the week after. I'm not sure how many people who initially posted in this thread 12 years ago (jeez...) still check the board, but I hope anyone who was made curious by Roycommi's synopsis will enjoy the full story (and yes, it's quite a bit longer).

AcroRay Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I'm really looking forward to it! White Reminiscences was a joy to my old school heart! Quote
coronadlux Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I can't download the files, too old and no longer available I guess. Would love to read em if possible. Quote
JB0 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I can't download the files, too old and no longer available I guess. Would love to read em if possible. Some kind soul once re-uploaded the Lost Two Years summary as a board attachment, so it's downloadable here. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28565&p=699893 But it IS a summary. It's more a terse collection of facts than an actual narrative tale. Quote
Gubaba Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Honestly (and no offense intended to Roycommi here), it's not even a summary... more just certain sentences translated, seemingly at random. Quote
Kelsain Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Was the lost 2 years a short PDF, with pictures of micro/macro working together & Meltran wrestling? Cuz I think I downloaded that way back. I can check my external drive this weekend. Never mind, the PDF I have is what's linked in the post... Edited May 13, 2015 by Kelsain Quote

Seto Kaiba Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Wait wait wait! Where's the meltran wrestling thing? XD It's a picture in the Lost Two Years part of Perfect Memory... which shows what looks to be a pro-wrestling match between two (giant) Meltrans with a VF-1A referee. (From page 64 of Perfect Memory.) Edited May 13, 2015 by Seto Kaiba Quote

Rasslin.PNG (From page 64 of Perfect Memory.) thanks, Seto! that is awesome! i hope they put something like that in the new series (maybe with some oil, or better yet, jello!)! Quote
Cabbit Commando Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Many Many Many Thanks for Translating that. I have wondered for years what was in it. I once tried to translate a manga with a Japanese to English dictionary & a book on Kanji. I gave up after being found gibbering in a corner like I'd just read a Necronomicon pop up book (pull the tab to see great chuthulu's tentacles wiggle!). I feel super hamstrung on topics here because I can't read Japanese & the info I do know is either super out of date &/or was misinterpreted by the fandom 20-25 years ago or so. I probably need to comb thru the forums & copy posts to .doc files so I can try to keep everything straight. I am thankful to anyone who will translate information on Macross. IIRC Sketchly & Seto Kaiba post translated info also. Thanks again, -Cabbit Commando Quote
Cabbit Commando Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I am thanking you in advance () Positive reinforcement & all that. Quote
Gubaba Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Okay... I have no idea when I'm going to finish this. I have only a few pages left, but I'm finding it extremely difficult to get through them. So here's the prologue and the first two chapters. I'm currently a little over halfway through Chapter 3. Plundering Fleet 1.pdf You should pretty immediately notice a difference if you compare it to the old "translation." Edited August 19, 2015 by Gubaba Quote

Gubaba Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 It's kinda disheartening when a fully new translation that I've been working on for months and months keeps losing out to a 32-year-old pic of wrestling Meltrans. Quote
JB0 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Hey, I'm excited to see this finished. But... wrestling meltrans is a pretty hard act to top! Quote
Valkyrie Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for posting the partial translation! That's one story I've been wanting to be able to read for years. And I can totally see why it's taken so long. That must be tedious as hell to translate! So thanks again! Quote

Gubaba Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm gettin' there... I didn't finish Chapter 3 today, but I'm close... Quote
Gubaba Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Okay, in honor of the anniversary, I did a bunch more than I was planning and finished Chapter One of the Macross Perfect Memory short story, "The Lost Two Years." This is only the second draft, and I think I nabbed all the typos, but if you find any, please let me know. (And yes, there are illustrations for this story. I haven't added them yet.) Oh... and those of you who went wild over Meltran wrestling... you ain't seen NUTHIN' yet! Lost Two Years Pages 1-5 (1).pdf Quote
