The problem with that entire sequence of events is that a.) the other girls had no idea at the moment that Mikumo was a protoculture clone and b.) that it clashed completely with the rest of the portrayal of Chaos throughout the entire series. It seemed to exist for drama without any place in the actual story of the show.

Nah it was a Xaos Medical ship.
Kaname, Makina and Reina were worried because IIRC the ship appeared without them requesting it and the the people of that ship took Mikumo immediatly and didn't tell them anything about her situation for days, but like Magnuskn said, it was Xaos and that point there was no real reason for the three girls to be that worried about Mikumo to the point of wanting to infiltrate the ship.

Other than necessity for the plot, how does that episode's premise make any sense? Chaos keeps a medical ship ready just for the Star Singer clone, but doesn't apprise her superiors and colleagues of anything so that she won't unnecessarily get into life-threatening situations in the first place? What kind of military thinking is that? Damn you, Lady M (and the producers for not revealing Lady M's identity).

It is fascinating how STUPID it was that she ended up captured. Consider the immense costs that created her, I am surprised she doesn't have permanent guards watching her.
Some of you might remember that I theorised that NUNs deliberately gave her to Roid as a trap. But that is only because the alternative, that she just HAPPENED to be captured by accident, is too stupid for me to comprehend. And yet, the stupid option is the canon one.

Lol guarded. She keeps jumping in front of enemy fire/protecting Freyja all the time. I'm surprised she never got injured. Though realism and Delta... yeah.
And I'd go with girlscouts for bodyguards too.

What's the difference? Well, had it ever been suggested that Delta Squad would protect the Star Singer with their very lives? I don't see that. She should have had guards protecting her, who knew how valuble she was and acted accordingly. But instead she had regular guards, who have no idea of her true value. That's insane, and can only imply that Lady M is retarded.

Another reason to avoid having bodyguards around her is to avoid bringing up too much attention. Which reminds me. She actually had Mirage who was chasing her in Al Shahal. Considering that all the battlefield are walküres' stage, any bodyguard are a hindrance to the show unless they dance and sing on stage as well.

One problem with making Mirage a bad flyer, is that it makes her entire team look bad. They should not have done that, it creates the very much justified idea that Delta as a squad are a bunch of unwanted rejects.

Delta squad had one good pilot, who was a grenade with pin pulled just waiting to go off, a giant flying target, two nonentities, and a forklift driver with no flying experience. It is not surprising that they jobbed and went from one defeat to another. |

Although I agree that it was pretty stupid of Delta squad to send her with just Makina and Reina alone when they arrived to Windermere, even if they didn't really know Mikumo was the star singer, they knew she was the only one able to destroy the ruins, they said so themselves, so the most important person for that specific mission was sent with two idols that have zero combat ability instead of making her go with arad or even Mirage who were soldiers at one point. Quote:
Also, aside from the six main aerial knights (who are practically super-humans) Delta squad never had a problem with any other enemy, Zentradi, controled NUNS pilots or Windermereans. Most of Delta Squad shortcomings IMO come from their leaders, in this case Ernest and Arad who is probably the worst commander of all Macross.
