===Act One===
===Act One===


===Act Two===
====SCENE - Space====
 
'''Maniac''': I got contact. I'm reading one ship... oh, furballs!
 
'''Easy''': And he's changing course. What do you think?
 
'''Maniac''': I say we scratch this cat right behind the ears. Hold position and cover me. Keep an eye on your sensors, Easy, I don't want any furball surprises.
 
'''Easy''': Screens are clear, go for it, Maniac!
 
'''Maniac''': Oh man, I hate missiles that don't know when to quit. Target this, dumb shot! Well that's why they call them missiles... 'cause they always miss. (laughs) Woo-hoo! Hey Easy, too bad you couldn't watch me take care of that furball. You might've learned something. (laughs) Easy? Hey, Easy? Speak to me, man. Maniac to Easy, come in Easy. Oh no. Easy. I told you to watch your screens.
 
'''Zurakh''': I see you Terran, but you do not see me. Your sensors are blind. I could destroy you as easily as I destroyed your wingman. But not yet. Fly home, Terran. Lead me to your carrier.
 
 
====SCENE - Flight Deck====
 
'''Tolwyn''': No matter how many times I perform this duty it never gets any easier. And it's been done too many times in this war. I believe that some part of the universe will always remain unknown to us, a mystery beyond the limits of our understanding. Cadet Emil Zoharian is now a part of that mystery. We salute his sacrifice. He now belongs to space, the emptiness that contains all things. May be find the peace we all seek.
 
 
====SCENE - Space====
 
'''Grunt''': Understood Tiger's Claw, we will hold our position. Convoy escort out. Hear that, Archer? We're cleared to land as soon as the salute's over.
 
'''Archer''': No, not another one. It's never going to end. Never.
 
'''Zurakh''': Four transports and the Tiger's Claw. Now that is a prize worth taking. Enjoy the time you have left, Terrans. You will be mine.
 
 
====SCENE - Kilrathi Flight Deck====
 
'''Kirnok''': Well, did the Terran sensors detect you?
 
'''Zurakh''': I approached from behind. They never knew I was there.
 
'''Kirnok''': Behind? I am not convinced. There must be a second test.
 
'''Zurakh''': There was a second Terran, I let him live.
 
'''Kirnok''': What? You let him live!
 
'''Zurakh''': He led me to four transports and a carrier. The Tiger's Claw.
 
'''Kirnok''': The Tiger's Claw? Ready a fighter strike, now.
 
 
====SCENE - Mess Hall====
 
'''Raker''': I just lost my appetite.
 
'''Payback''': I'm not too hungry myself.
 
'''Maniac''': Looks like I'm about as popular around here as chipped beef on toast.
 
'''Maverick''': Well, you better get used to it. There's a lot of people who want to know what really happened out there with Easy. Including me.
 
'''Maniac''': I made my report to Tolwyn. Read it yourself.
 
'''Maverick''': I did and I don't buy it. I think you lost your wingman because you were too busy trying to rack up a kill for yourself. I think you left Easy to die alone because you were out hunting glory.
 
'''Maniac''': What makes you think I care what you think?
 
'''Maverick''': Hey, the pilots from Trafalgar won't fly with you anymore. Nobody else wants to, either.
 
'''Maniac''': They won't have to, I've been grounded. Happy?
 
'''Grunt''': Let them play it out.
 
'''Tolwyn''': Red alert, all pilots to the hangar deck. Scramble.
 
'''Maverick''': Guess you'll be sitting this one out.
 
 
====SCENE - Bridge====
 
'''Tolwyn''': Launch fighters. Blair, you have tactical command.
 
 
====SCENE - Flight Deck====
 
'''Tolwyn''': Protect the transports at all costs.
 
'''Maverick''': Understood, sir.
 
 
====SCENE - Space====
 
'''Maverick''': Maverick to all fighters. You heard the man, we're playing defense, keep them away from the transports.
 
'''Raker''': Yes, General.
 
'''Payback''': Here they come, eight o'clock high.
 
'''Maverick''': Don't let any of them get through.
 
'''Payback''': Scratch one kitty!
 


====SCENE - Dining Room====
====SCENE - Bridge====


'''Sing''': (laughs) The plant got up and walked away!
'''Archer''': Watch it, Payback, you got one on your tail.


'''All''': (laugh)
'''Payback''': I see him.


'''Archer''': What kind of research are you doing way out here?
'''Raker''': What was that? What was that?


'''Sing''': Pharmaceutical. With the diversity of life on this planet there are probably millions of new medicines to be found.  
'''Maverick''': What? Say again, Raker.


'''Maverick''': That sounds fascinating.
'''Raker''': I'm getting laser fire but no...


'''Maniac''': It must get awfully lonely. I mean just the three of you and all.
'''Maverick''': Repeat that, Raker. Say again.


'''Rivera''': Oh, we keep busy, Can't forget there's a war on, you know.


'''Archer''': No, can't ever forget. I envy you, Doctor. It must be very satisfying saving lives.
====SCENE - Space====


'''Sing''': We do what we can.
'''Clipper''': Raker's down. He's gone. I don't see what got him. There's nothing on my sensors. What was that?


'''Maverick''': Say again, Cipper. Sensors read you and no one else.


====SCENE - Landing Site====
'''Clipper''': I'm not making this up, Maverick.


'''Maniac''': Eh, you check the fighters Maniac, make sure they're allright with the storm coming on. Yeah, right, just wants me out of the way so he can make a move on...
'''Maverick''': I've got visual contact, I see him. Where'd he go? He's off my screens.


'''Sing''': Todd.
'''Zurakh''': And now, Terran, you die.


'''Maniac''': Ow! Oh, oh, Dr. Sing! Hi! I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you'd still be talking to Maniac.
===Act Two===


'''Sing''': Branwyn, please. Actually I just had to get a closer look at your ships. All we get here are supply shuttles twice a year. What kind are they?
====SCENE - Space====


'''Maniac''': Scimitars. They're fighters.
'''Zurakh''': There is no escape, Terran.


'''Sing''': Oh! I've always been interested in flying. It must be wonderful being a pilot.
'''Maverick''': I got you, Clipper, you're okay.


'''Maniac''': Well it's wonderful being the best pilot.  
'''Grunt''': More gatos on the screen - four o'clock low.


'''Sing''': Then you must have the best ship.
'''Maverick''': The transports are secure on this side. Take those Kilrathi out before they can break through.


'''Maniac''': Well, they're all pretty much the same. I mean, you know, of course mine's the best.
'''Grunt''': Understood, the fur will fly.


'''Sing''': Then with that Kilrathi pilot in the area maybe I should order one of my robots to guard it.
'''Payback''': (groans) I'm hit!


'''Maniac''': The Kilrathi would need to know my enabling code to even warm up the engine.
'''Maverick''': Eject, Payback, get outta there!


'''Sing''': Enabling code?
'''Payback''': No, I can make it back. Get 'em for me, Maverick.


'''Maverick''': Two down, two down!


====SCENE - Crash Site====
'''Grunt''': We got 'em on the run.


'''Grilg''': Grilg to any Kilrathi vessel, come in. REquest emergency evacuation at these coordinates. Respond. Grilg to any Kilrathi vessel...


====SCENE - Bridge====


====SCENE - Archer's Quarters====
'''Ops Officer''': Tiger's Claw, this is Suffolk. We are under attack and have been hit. Where are your fighters?


'''Archer''': No! No! I can't! No!


====SCENE - Space====


====SCENE - Flashback====
'''Zurakh''': Zurakh to all fighters. Withdraw to maximum sensor range. I'm returning to the carrier to rearm.


'''Blizzard''': Don't fire, Archer! It's me. It's alright Gwen. I'm alive.


'''Archer''': No. No. No, I can't change anything.
====SCENE - Bridge====


'''Comm Tech''': The Suffolk has been secured, sir. The fires are out and casualties have been transferred to our sick bay.


====SCENE - Archer's Quarters====
'''Tolwyn''': Get repair parties aboard. I wand the Suffolk under her own power in two hours.


'''Archer''': Oh! Oh, Blizzard.
'''Maverick''': Cadet Blair reporting, sir.


'''Tolwyn''': In my quarters, Cadet, now.


====SCENE - Swimming====


'''Sing''': One lap, no cheating. Ready? Go. Good morning, did you sleep well.
====SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters====


'''Archer''': Like I always do. Did your robots find the Kilrathi?
'''Tolwyn''': I don't want to hear excuses. You neglected your mission to go off after Kilrathi fighters.


'''Sing''': No, not yet, so we're taking a swim.It's part of my morning routine to stay in shape.
'''Maverick''': Out screens were clear, sir. THhy showed no fighters near the fleet when the transports were hit.


'''Archer''': Apparently, it works.
'''Tolwyn''': You're grounded until further notice, mister. Dismissed.


'''Sing''': They're very competitive, aren't they?
'''Maverick''': What, I... yes, sir.


'''Archer''': Well, boys will be boys. Especially when they're encouraged to be.


'''Sing''': You're all little more than teenagers.
====SCENE - Elevator====


'''Archer''': We're old enough.
'''Falcon''': At least aboard the old Trafalgar we didn't have to fight alongside pilots who were still learning to fly. (laughs) I guess standards at the Academy aren't as high as they used to be.


'''Sing''': Fighting a war is a terrible way to grow up. If only there were another way to defeat the Kilrathi. Maybe someday there will be.


'''Archer''': What do you mean?
====SCENE - Repair Bay====


'''Sing''': It's a tie!
'''Maniac''': This railing's taken.


'''Maniac''': No way, Maverick swims like a rock.
'''Maverick''': Are you sure you did a sensor scan before you hit that Kilrathi transport>


Maverick: Oh ho ho, if Brawnwyn says it's a tie then it's a tie, she's the judge.
'''Maniac''': (sighs) I know my job.


'''Archer''': If Branwyn can spare you, shouldn't we go look for that Kilrathi pilot? After you dry off, of course.
'''Maverick''': (sighs) Easy checked his screen too? It couldn't have been a malfunction?


'''Maverick''': Oh. (laughs)
'''Maniac''': Oh you want to believe me now, don't you? Now that you're trying to get yourself off the hook for letting the cats whack those transports.


'''Sing''': No need, my robots are quite capable of capturing that Kilrathi on their own. They're desigend to handle large and uncooperative specimens. Besides, I promised Chris I'd show him our lab.
'''Maverick''': I think the Kilrathi may have something that can't be picked up by our sensors.


'''Maniac''': Hey, I'd like to see it too.
'''Maniac''': Did you tell that to Tolwyn?


'''Maverick''': Maybe somebody should be with the robots. In case they need help. You two check it out. I'll stay here to monitor communications with the robots.
'''Maverick''': Ah, he wouldn't listen. He says the Kilrathi don't have the technology to beat our sensors.


'''Maniac''': Oh yes sir. I really did win.


====SCENE - Suffolk Bay====


====SCENE - Sky====
'''Maya''': The old man's right, you know. The Confederation's been trying to develop a stealth ship for years. If the cats could do it, we'd all be toast.


'''Archer''': We're near the coordinates where the cat went down. I don't see a place to land.
'''Maverick''': Hmm. What if this one is a prototype? The first one, being combat tested?


'''Maniac''': Oh, I see a place.
'''Maya''': We'd have no defense, we'd lose the war. Somebody better take it out before the furballs find out it works.


'''Archer''': Where?
'''Maniac''': We got a plan but we can't tell Tolwyn about it. He's grounded both of us.


'''Maniac''': Right... there!
'''Maya''': Why are you telling me this?


'''Maniac''': We need your help, Maya. We want to use this transport as bait.


====SCENE - Crash Site====
'''Maya''': If you're wrong, we'll be in the brig until we're old and gray. But a Kilrathi stealth fighter... that's a big fish you're after.


'''Archer''': Trajectory should've taken him this way. Dr. Sing is up ot something.


'''Maniac''': You mean with Maverick?
====SCENE - Kilrathi Carrier Flight Deck====


'''Archer''': With both of you. She's playing you against each other. She's making fools out of you. Not too difficult.
'''Kirnok''': This is the final test. If you are successful it is only a matter of time until the Terrans are obliterated from the galaxy.


'''Maniac''': Ah, you're jealous. She's getting all the attention and you're jealous.
'''Zurakh''': I will bring you a trophy of the Terran's destruction.


'''Archer''': Grow up, Maniac. That woman is hiding something I know it.
'''Kirnok''': I personally will lead your fighter escort. At such a proud moment, a member of the Emperor's own Kiranka clan should be present. If anything should go wrong, the Strakha should not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.


'''Maniac''': Yeah, you know all about hiding things don't you.
'''Zurakh''': You dishonor me by reminding me of my duty.


'''Archer''': I don't know what you're talking about.
'''Kirnok''': I will say no more.


'''Maniac''': That glitch when your missile didn't launch. You didn't fire. You want to tell me why?


'''Archer''': Don't you ever hesitate?  Don't you ever think about what it means when a target disappears from the screen? What it means to the pilot? The Kilrathi pilot?
====SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters====


'''Maniac''': It means I'm better than he is.
'''Guthrig''': Each of us faces an invisible enemy. One that's always capable of destroying us. That enemy is ourselves.


'''Archer''': We can cover more ground if we split up.
'''Tolwyn''': The cadets all hate you, you know. I'm beginning to understand why.


'''Maniac''': Oh suits me just fine.  
'''Guthrig''': Our most dangerous enemy is pride. People willingly destroy themselvs and others to protect that pride. It's pride more than anything else that makes people become a soldier.


'''Tolwyn''': Don't psychoanalyze me, Doctor, I'm not on your couch.


====SCENE - Laboratory====


'''Sing''': We analyze the natural compounds then test them with computer models for possible medical uses. Ironic, but we found a number of compounds that would be most effective in a species like the Kilrathi. Do you think we're wasting time researching medicines that might only benefit our enemies?
====SCENE - Suffolk Flight Deck====


'''Maverick''': Well they won't be our enemies forever.  
'''Maniac''': I can't believe this was your idea. I always thought you were Tolwyn's pet. That's what everyone says.


'''Sing''': I believe that, too.
'''Maverick''': Hmm. Everyone says you're an arrogant j erk.


'''Maverick''': What's in that building over there?
'''Maniac''': (laughs) Well, sometimes they're right.


'''Sing''': Just storage. Chris, what you said about the Kilrathi, do you really think we can make peace with them?
'''Maverick''': It's time.


'''Maverick''': I think there's good and evil in everyone. The Kilrathi can be just as good as we can be, maybe better. Maybe better. Just like we have the potential to be like them. There isn't anything the Kilrathi have done that you can't match with Earth history.


'''Sing''': Are there many pilots in the fleet who would agree with you?
====SCENE - Suffolk Bay====


'''Maverick''': I doubt it. I know Commodore Tolwyn doesn't.
'''Maya''': We got an overload in the main fuel cell. Everyone out of the ship, now.


'''Sing''': Maniac said I must be lonely living out here. But I htink you're the one who's lonely.  
'''Repair Crew''': Alright, let's go.


'''Maverick''': Branwyn. Maverick, go ahead.


'''Archer''': I found the ejection pod.
====SCENE - Bridge====


'''Communications Tech''': Everyone's off the Suffolk, sir.


====SCENE - Crash Site====
'''Tolwyn''': Cut her loose. Helmsman, come about. Put some distance between us and the Suffolk.


'''Archer''': No sign of the cat, though. Not even a whisker.
'''Helmsman''': Aye aye, sir.


'''Maverick''': Archer, be careful. The pilot probably bobby trapped that pod. I'll be there as soon as I can. Maverick out.


'''Archer''': Hmm. Mechanical. Dr. Sing's robots. (gasps)
====SCENE - Flight Deck====


===Act Three===
'''Maniac''': You know if this doesn't work we'll both get busted out of the Academy.


====SCENE - Crash Site====
'''Maverick''': (laughs) If this doesn't work, we won't be coming back.


'''Archer''': Wait, I am not the Kilrathi! (grunts)
===Act Three===


'''Maniac''': Archer! What happened?
====SCENE - Space====


'''Archer''': I don't know. But I intend to find out.
'''Maverick''': This better work or it's going to be a short trip. Maya, you're a genius. Now all we have to do is wait.  


'''Zurakh''': One of the Terran transports has fallen behind. Hold your position while I destroy the straggler.


====SCENE - Landing Site====
'''Kirnok''': Destroy the Tiger's Claw first, then the transports will be at our mercy.


'''Archer''': But right after I found the ejection pod I was attacked, bu one of her robots.
'''Zurakh''': I will choose my own targets.


'''Sing''': My robots identify specimens by molecular residue. Smell. You must have picked up some of the Kilrathi's odor at the ejection pod. The robot was confused.


'''Archer''': No, you've already found the Kilrathi. There were robot tracks around the pod.
====SCENE - Suffolk Flight Deck====


'''Sing''': Yes, from the robot that attacked you.
'''Maverick''': As I recall, you said you'd never fly as my wingman.  


'''Archer''': Oh then you won't mind if I search the base.
'''Maniac''': Hey I'm not, you're my wingman.


'''Maverick''': Uh, I've had the tour. There's nothing here.
'''Maverick''': Hey, let's get something straight here buddy.  


'''Archer''': Sure you saw everything?
'''Maniac''': Woah, I think the pussycat took the bait!


'''Maverick''': The storage building.


====SCENE - Space====


====SCENE - Storage Building====
'''Zurakh''': A good end for any ship.


'''Sing''': I told you about the medicines, Chris. We needed a Kilrathi to continue testing.
'''Maverick''': There he is. Visual contact!


'''Maniac''': You mean a guinea pig.
'''Maniac''': I see you furball, hah! I lost him, I lost him.  


'''Maverick''': Why didn't you tell us?
'''Maverick''': Got his visual again again. He's mine!


'''Sing''': He's a prisoner of war. I knew you'd have to take him back to your carrier. AT least wait until morning, our most important test will be done by then. You want peace with the Kilrathi, this medicine could be the bridge that leads to it. A gift of hope from the Confederation to the Kilrathi.
'''Zurakh''': This is Zurakh. I am under attack. Shields failing.


'''Maverick''': Woah. I believe you want to end this war as much as I do. He he won't be harmed?
'''Kirnok''': All fighters attack!


'''Sing''': You have my word as a doctor.


'''Maverick''': Alright, you have until morning.
====SCENE - Bridge====


'''Sensor Tech''': Sir, the Suffolk, it's blown up. And I'm showing two ships firing at... at nothing.


====SCENE - Storage Building====
'''Tolwyn''': No, there's something there. If my pride had let me see it. Launch fighters.


'''Sing''': I'm setting you free. THe war can't be allowed to go on. This may be the first step in ending it.


'''Grilg''': Give me a weapon to protect myself.
====SCENE - Space====


'''Sing''': I've given you enough. Now go.
'''Maverick''': Don't let him lose us!


'''Archer''': I don't think so. I knew you couldn't be trusted.
'''Maniac''': I'm on him. This furball's going nowhere.


'''Sing''': You don't know anything. Attack.
'''Zurakh''': Kirnok, you clawless worm, where are you?


'''Archer''': (screams)
'''Maverick''': You've had it, pal. Surrender your ship.


'''Maverick''': What do you think you're doing? Archer, have you lost your mind?
'''Zurakh''': You will have no trophy from my defeat.


'''Archer''': Your friend Branwyn freed the Kilrathi.
'''Maniac''': Maverick, you still in one piece?


'''Sing''': You're all just children. Stupid children. You think you can fight this war like little toy soldiers with rules and honor like it's a game and the high school wins? This war is biological, a competition between two species and it won't be over until one survives.
'''Maverick''': Yeah, just rearranged a little. More Kilrathi, I'm targeted! I'm hit! Get back to the 'Claw, Maniac.


'''Maverick''': Then why did you let the Kilrathi go.
'''Maniac''': Hey, I'm the leader, remember? And I don't leave my wingman. Woo-hoo! Alright, go get 'em, yeah, tear it up.


'''Sing''': I've infected him with a plague virus we discovered on this planet. It's deadly to the Kilrathi. That pilot will spread the virus through  his fleet until it reaches Kilrah itself and then the war will be over.
'''Maverick''': Come on, target. One more time!


'''Archer''': The Confederation outlawed biological warfare. If the Kilrathi Empire retailates with bioweapons, millions will die. On both sides.
'''Grunt''': You owe me one, Maverick! Grande!


'''Maverick''': It won't happen. Our fighters are the only way off the planet. The Kilrathi doesn't know the enabling codes.
'''Kirnok''': Zurakh! His fighter. All of them, gone.


'''Maniac''': (sighs) He knows the code to mine.  
'''Payback''': No survivors, furball.


'''Maverick''': What?
'''Kirnok''': A proud moment.


'''Maniac''': You gave it to him, didn't you?


'''Maverick''': What? How did she get it?
====SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters====


'''Maniac''': Well, she wanted to see how a fighter works.  
'''Tolwyn''': I was wrong when I refused to believe the K ilrathi had a stealth fighter. But the fact that i was wrong is not a license to disobey orders.


'''Maverick''': Aw!
'''Maverick''': Sir, what are you going to do?


'''Maniac''': So I showed her!
'''Tolwyn''': Do with you? If you had captured the stealth fighter intact I suppose I would have given you a medal but... since you didn't, perhaps it's best we forget about the whole thing. I'm afraid none of us have done anything here to be proud of.


'''Maverick''': (sighs) Maniac, you stay with Doctor Sing.


====SCENE - Hallway====


====SCENE - Landing Site====
'''Archer''': I don't always approve of the way you fly, M aniac. But I should've knonw you'd never sacrafice your wingman. You're a good pilot.


'''Maverick''': You can't let him get away.
'''Maverick''': When did she join your fanclub?


'''Archer''': I know.
'''Maniac''': (laughs) Well, she wanted to say I'm the best, but she didn't want to hurt your feelings.


'''Maverick''': (laughs) In your dreams. You know we make a pretty good team. Maybe we should work together more often.


====SCENE - Sky====
'''Maniac''': Sure, just let me know any time you want me to save your tail.


'''Archer''': Listen to me. You've been infected with a virus. Dr. Sing only let you go so you'd carry the plague back to Kilrah.
'''Maverick''': Or maybe I'll save yours.


'''Grilg''': Do you think I'm foolish enough to believe you, Terran? Your species does not know how to tell the truth.
{{-}}
{{tvepisodes/doc}}


'''Archer''': You're just a victim of this war. Eject while you still can. Engines failing, no! I can't let you go home. It must be very satisfying... saving lives.

Transcript

Act One

SCENE - Space

Maniac: I got contact. I'm reading one ship... oh, furballs!

Easy: And he's changing course. What do you think?

Maniac: I say we scratch this cat right behind the ears. Hold position and cover me. Keep an eye on your sensors, Easy, I don't want any furball surprises.

Easy: Screens are clear, go for it, Maniac!

Maniac: Oh man, I hate missiles that don't know when to quit. Target this, dumb shot! Well that's why they call them missiles... 'cause they always miss. (laughs) Woo-hoo! Hey Easy, too bad you couldn't watch me take care of that furball. You might've learned something. (laughs) Easy? Hey, Easy? Speak to me, man. Maniac to Easy, come in Easy. Oh no. Easy. I told you to watch your screens.

Zurakh: I see you Terran, but you do not see me. Your sensors are blind. I could destroy you as easily as I destroyed your wingman. But not yet. Fly home, Terran. Lead me to your carrier.


SCENE - Flight Deck

Tolwyn: No matter how many times I perform this duty it never gets any easier. And it's been done too many times in this war. I believe that some part of the universe will always remain unknown to us, a mystery beyond the limits of our understanding. Cadet Emil Zoharian is now a part of that mystery. We salute his sacrifice. He now belongs to space, the emptiness that contains all things. May be find the peace we all seek.


SCENE - Space

Grunt: Understood Tiger's Claw, we will hold our position. Convoy escort out. Hear that, Archer? We're cleared to land as soon as the salute's over.

Archer: No, not another one. It's never going to end. Never.

Zurakh: Four transports and the Tiger's Claw. Now that is a prize worth taking. Enjoy the time you have left, Terrans. You will be mine.


SCENE - Kilrathi Flight Deck

Kirnok: Well, did the Terran sensors detect you?

Zurakh: I approached from behind. They never knew I was there.

Kirnok: Behind? I am not convinced. There must be a second test.

Zurakh: There was a second Terran, I let him live.

Kirnok: What? You let him live!

Zurakh: He led me to four transports and a carrier. The Tiger's Claw.

Kirnok: The Tiger's Claw? Ready a fighter strike, now.


SCENE - Mess Hall

Raker: I just lost my appetite.

Payback: I'm not too hungry myself.

Maniac: Looks like I'm about as popular around here as chipped beef on toast.

Maverick: Well, you better get used to it. There's a lot of people who want to know what really happened out there with Easy. Including me.

Maniac: I made my report to Tolwyn. Read it yourself.

Maverick: I did and I don't buy it. I think you lost your wingman because you were too busy trying to rack up a kill for yourself. I think you left Easy to die alone because you were out hunting glory.

Maniac: What makes you think I care what you think?

Maverick: Hey, the pilots from Trafalgar won't fly with you anymore. Nobody else wants to, either.

Maniac: They won't have to, I've been grounded. Happy?

Grunt: Let them play it out.

Tolwyn: Red alert, all pilots to the hangar deck. Scramble.

Maverick: Guess you'll be sitting this one out.


SCENE - Bridge

Tolwyn: Launch fighters. Blair, you have tactical command.


SCENE - Flight Deck

Tolwyn: Protect the transports at all costs.

Maverick: Understood, sir.


SCENE - Space

Maverick: Maverick to all fighters. You heard the man, we're playing defense, keep them away from the transports.

Raker: Yes, General.

Payback: Here they come, eight o'clock high.

Maverick: Don't let any of them get through.

Payback: Scratch one kitty!


SCENE - Bridge

Archer: Watch it, Payback, you got one on your tail.

Payback: I see him.

Raker: What was that? What was that?

Maverick: What? Say again, Raker.

Raker: I'm getting laser fire but no...

Maverick: Repeat that, Raker. Say again.


SCENE - Space

Clipper: Raker's down. He's gone. I don't see what got him. There's nothing on my sensors. What was that?

Maverick: Say again, Cipper. Sensors read you and no one else.

Clipper: I'm not making this up, Maverick.

Maverick: I've got visual contact, I see him. Where'd he go? He's off my screens.

Zurakh: And now, Terran, you die.

Act Two

SCENE - Space

Zurakh: There is no escape, Terran.

Maverick: I got you, Clipper, you're okay.

Grunt: More gatos on the screen - four o'clock low.

Maverick: The transports are secure on this side. Take those Kilrathi out before they can break through.

Grunt: Understood, the fur will fly.

Payback: (groans) I'm hit!

Maverick: Eject, Payback, get outta there!

Payback: No, I can make it back. Get 'em for me, Maverick.

Maverick: Two down, two down!

Grunt: We got 'em on the run.


SCENE - Bridge

Ops Officer: Tiger's Claw, this is Suffolk. We are under attack and have been hit. Where are your fighters?


SCENE - Space

Zurakh: Zurakh to all fighters. Withdraw to maximum sensor range. I'm returning to the carrier to rearm.


SCENE - Bridge

Comm Tech: The Suffolk has been secured, sir. The fires are out and casualties have been transferred to our sick bay.

Tolwyn: Get repair parties aboard. I wand the Suffolk under her own power in two hours.

Maverick: Cadet Blair reporting, sir.

Tolwyn: In my quarters, Cadet, now.


SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters

Tolwyn: I don't want to hear excuses. You neglected your mission to go off after Kilrathi fighters.

Maverick: Out screens were clear, sir. THhy showed no fighters near the fleet when the transports were hit.

Tolwyn: You're grounded until further notice, mister. Dismissed.

Maverick: What, I... yes, sir.


SCENE - Elevator

Falcon: At least aboard the old Trafalgar we didn't have to fight alongside pilots who were still learning to fly. (laughs) I guess standards at the Academy aren't as high as they used to be.


SCENE - Repair Bay

Maniac: This railing's taken.

Maverick: Are you sure you did a sensor scan before you hit that Kilrathi transport>

Maniac: (sighs) I know my job.

Maverick: (sighs) Easy checked his screen too? It couldn't have been a malfunction?

Maniac: Oh you want to believe me now, don't you? Now that you're trying to get yourself off the hook for letting the cats whack those transports.

Maverick: I think the Kilrathi may have something that can't be picked up by our sensors.

Maniac: Did you tell that to Tolwyn?

Maverick: Ah, he wouldn't listen. He says the Kilrathi don't have the technology to beat our sensors.


SCENE - Suffolk Bay

Maya: The old man's right, you know. The Confederation's been trying to develop a stealth ship for years. If the cats could do it, we'd all be toast.

Maverick: Hmm. What if this one is a prototype? The first one, being combat tested?

Maya: We'd have no defense, we'd lose the war. Somebody better take it out before the furballs find out it works.

Maniac: We got a plan but we can't tell Tolwyn about it. He's grounded both of us.

Maya: Why are you telling me this?

Maniac: We need your help, Maya. We want to use this transport as bait.

Maya: If you're wrong, we'll be in the brig until we're old and gray. But a Kilrathi stealth fighter... that's a big fish you're after.


SCENE - Kilrathi Carrier Flight Deck

Kirnok: This is the final test. If you are successful it is only a matter of time until the Terrans are obliterated from the galaxy.

Zurakh: I will bring you a trophy of the Terran's destruction.

Kirnok: I personally will lead your fighter escort. At such a proud moment, a member of the Emperor's own Kiranka clan should be present. If anything should go wrong, the Strakha should not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Zurakh: You dishonor me by reminding me of my duty.

Kirnok: I will say no more.


SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters

Guthrig: Each of us faces an invisible enemy. One that's always capable of destroying us. That enemy is ourselves.

Tolwyn: The cadets all hate you, you know. I'm beginning to understand why.

Guthrig: Our most dangerous enemy is pride. People willingly destroy themselvs and others to protect that pride. It's pride more than anything else that makes people become a soldier.

Tolwyn: Don't psychoanalyze me, Doctor, I'm not on your couch.


SCENE - Suffolk Flight Deck

Maniac: I can't believe this was your idea. I always thought you were Tolwyn's pet. That's what everyone says.

Maverick: Hmm. Everyone says you're an arrogant j erk.

Maniac: (laughs) Well, sometimes they're right.

Maverick: It's time.


SCENE - Suffolk Bay

Maya: We got an overload in the main fuel cell. Everyone out of the ship, now.

Repair Crew: Alright, let's go.


SCENE - Bridge

Communications Tech: Everyone's off the Suffolk, sir.

Tolwyn: Cut her loose. Helmsman, come about. Put some distance between us and the Suffolk.

Helmsman: Aye aye, sir.


SCENE - Flight Deck

Maniac: You know if this doesn't work we'll both get busted out of the Academy.

Maverick: (laughs) If this doesn't work, we won't be coming back.

Act Three

SCENE - Space

Maverick: This better work or it's going to be a short trip. Maya, you're a genius. Now all we have to do is wait.

Zurakh: One of the Terran transports has fallen behind. Hold your position while I destroy the straggler.

Kirnok: Destroy the Tiger's Claw first, then the transports will be at our mercy.

Zurakh: I will choose my own targets.


SCENE - Suffolk Flight Deck

Maverick: As I recall, you said you'd never fly as my wingman.

Maniac: Hey I'm not, you're my wingman.

Maverick: Hey, let's get something straight here buddy.

Maniac: Woah, I think the pussycat took the bait!


SCENE - Space

Zurakh: A good end for any ship.

Maverick: There he is. Visual contact!

Maniac: I see you furball, hah! I lost him, I lost him.

Maverick: Got his visual again again. He's mine!

Zurakh: This is Zurakh. I am under attack. Shields failing.

Kirnok: All fighters attack!


SCENE - Bridge

Sensor Tech: Sir, the Suffolk, it's blown up. And I'm showing two ships firing at... at nothing.

Tolwyn: No, there's something there. If my pride had let me see it. Launch fighters.


SCENE - Space

Maverick: Don't let him lose us!

Maniac: I'm on him. This furball's going nowhere.

Zurakh: Kirnok, you clawless worm, where are you?

Maverick: You've had it, pal. Surrender your ship.

Zurakh: You will have no trophy from my defeat.

Maniac: Maverick, you still in one piece?

Maverick: Yeah, just rearranged a little. More Kilrathi, I'm targeted! I'm hit! Get back to the 'Claw, Maniac.

Maniac: Hey, I'm the leader, remember? And I don't leave my wingman. Woo-hoo! Alright, go get 'em, yeah, tear it up.

Maverick: Come on, target. One more time!

Grunt: You owe me one, Maverick! Grande!

Kirnok: Zurakh! His fighter. All of them, gone.

Payback: No survivors, furball.

Kirnok: A proud moment.


SCENE - Tolwyn's Quarters

Tolwyn: I was wrong when I refused to believe the K ilrathi had a stealth fighter. But the fact that i was wrong is not a license to disobey orders.

Maverick: Sir, what are you going to do?

Tolwyn: Do with you? If you had captured the stealth fighter intact I suppose I would have given you a medal but... since you didn't, perhaps it's best we forget about the whole thing. I'm afraid none of us have done anything here to be proud of.


SCENE - Hallway

Archer: I don't always approve of the way you fly, M aniac. But I should've knonw you'd never sacrafice your wingman. You're a good pilot.

Maverick: When did she join your fanclub?
