Cutscenes

Plot

Introduction

Introduction
WCP Cutscene 0010.png Kilrathi Temple, Nephele System & Flight Deck
The Nephilim arrive at Kilrah; Casey and Maestro arrive aboard the TCS Midway.
WCP Cutscene 0030.png Flight Deck
Your initial hours onboard the Midway prove a bit disheartening. You and your buddy Maestro are "greeted" by Stiletto, the hard-line leader of the Diamondback squadron. She doesn't approve of your attitudes or the Altairian brandy Maestro smuggled onboard.
WCP Cutscene 0050.png Rec Room & Ready Room
Next, you manage to irritate Maniac, the resident braggart. You run into him the first time you enter the Rec Room.
WCP Cutscene 0070.png Briefing Room
After Maniac's insult session, an onlooking vet pilot takes you under his wing and gives you a tour of your new home. You end up in the Briefing Room, where you meet Dallas and unwittingly insult Blair while in his presence.

Series B - H'rekkah System

Series B - H'rekkah System
Mission B1
WCP Cutscene 0090.png Briefing
Finally, you're whisked into duty under a Red Alert. Your first briefing, given by the captain and the CAG, includes a live video feed displaying a tattered Kilrathi freighter. The rest of the briefing is brief and tense as you're sent to investigate a distress call from H'rekkah System. To your surprise. Stiletto has assigned you command of the Diamondback wing.
WCP Cutscene 0096.png Dismissal & Jump
WCP Cutscene 0170.png Landing
After you return from your first flight, you run into Rachel, who, in a few not-so-kind words, directs you to the stot station and decontamination chamber.
WCP Cutscene 0175.png Egress
Mission B2
WCP Cutscene 0190.png Rec Room
The first three pilots are involved in to nervous discussion about the previous mission. No one expected to see live ammo this time out, and Dallas in particular is quite upset over the matter of the dead Kilrathi found aboard the destroyed freighter. Zero and Maestro are playing up to Dallas' anxiety. Hawk enters as Dallas continues to sulk. Looking to him for a bit of reassurance, you hear the first mention of Kn'thrak — the Kilrathi word for Darkness, Void, Evil. Almost immediately, you're scrambled to assist the battered Black Widow squadron. Maniac is among the assisted, although he offers no real words of thanks afterward.
Mission B3a/B3b
WCP Cutscene 0240.png Rec Room
Maestro persuades you to take in a shot of "Boom-Boom," which proves to be every bit as lively as its name. An "atta-boy" session commences, which is soon interrupted by Finley, who lectures you on your cockiness. Maestro grows bored and gets distracted by a nearby female. You introduce yourself to Finley, the Midway's onboard science officer. She mentions your impressive mission report and leaves you to ponder her parting words of caution.
WCP Cutscene 0270.png Landing
WCP Cutscene 0275.png Egress
Rachel eases up and apologizes for her impatience earlier. You catch a slight glimpse of interest and ask to watch her decipher a Kilrathi log. She politely declines.
Mission B3b
WCP Cutscene 0300.png Briefing
Blair stops you and suggests that you take things a bit more seriously.

Series C - G'wriss System

Series C - G'wriss System
Mission C1
WCP Cutscene 0350.png Jump
WCP Cutscene 0370.png Rec Room
You find Dallas sullen and alone, standing by the window, depressed about the current state of battle. You do your best to offer a few words of encouragement, which seem to have a slight uplifting effect on his mood. Stiletto, observing from a nearby barstool, raises her glass to you.
WCP Cutscene 0390.png Dismissal
Spoke to Dallas
If you talked to Dallas earlier, he makes a point of stopping you and exchanging a few friendly pre-battle words.
WCP Cutscene 0400.png Dismissal
Did not speak to Dallas
If you ignored him before, he rudely brushes past you. Stiletto pipes up and suggests that you improve your social skills by interacting and bonding a bit more with your wingmen.
Mission C2a/C2b/C2c
WCP Cutscene 0430.png Rec Room
Finley's at the bar, drinking like a fish and reeking of sarcasm. You join her and listen to her relate the recent findings of the Science Division — which don't amount to much in the grand scheme of things. She explains the ancient Kilrathi prophecies and you hear, for the second time, the mention of Kn'thrak. In the middle of your conversation, all pilots are called to the Briefing Room. But before you part ways, you manage to get through to her, and she decides against that last drink.
Mission C3a/C3b
WCP Cutscene 0510.png Rec Room
You find a glum Zero drinking in the Rec Room. He first berates you for interrupting him, then asks about your "free ride" through the Academy. You talk about the reputation you've had to live up to. Finally, both of you recognize that you have more in common than you realized. Zero also talks a bit more about Kn'thrak.
WCP Cutscene 0540.png Dismissal
If you encouraged him earlier, Dallas approaches all smiles and offers his two hundred percent. You get a vague premonition that his enthusiasm may soon come to an end. In his usual show of words. Maestro tells you not to worry about Dallas.
WCP Cutscene 0560.png Landing
Did not speak to Dallas
These two tell you Dallas didn't make it back from the last mission.
WCP Cutscene 0570.png Landing

Series D - H'hrass System
Mission D1
WCP Cutscene 0650.png Rec Room & Ready Room
After Dallas' funeral, you join Zero for a shot. Maniac's going through his usual embellishments. Hawk enters a verbal bout with him, and you end up attacking Maniac. Blair has convinced the CAG to attribute the outbreak to stress.
WCP Cutscene 0710.png Dismissal
The CAG's announcement that Blair's going to fly on your wing creates whispers among the pilots — it's not everyday that a retired hero gets pulled back into active duty.
Mission D2
WCP Cutscene 0750.png Landing
WCP Cutscene 0755.png Egress
The radio transmitter has been repaired, but at great cost. As you check your mission stats after D2, the CAG informs you of your promotion and transfer to the Black Widow squadron, but you can't help but wonder what Blair's fate will be.

Mission I1
WCP Cutscene 1850.png Rec Room & Jump
As the Alien fleet lies smoldering, you join your friends for a bragging session. The CAG and captain show up to remind everyone that the path to victory is not yet complete. Finley says that the Plasma gun can't be used again without endangering the Midway. Finally, Blair suggests that you and Maestro get some rest.
WCP Cutscene 1880.png Ready Room
These two are in a battle of words. The CAG's shooting down Blair's attempt to get back on the flight line, and he's visibly distraught about it.
Mission I4
WCP Cutscene 1950.png Briefing
The CAG calls the briefing to order and lays out a plan to knock out the Alien dreadnought's defenses. Blair interrupts to suggest using a training missile barrage as a distraction to the primary attack. The CAG is clearly annoyed, but manages a smile when she realizes that it just might work. In a moment, the scramble alarm sounds.

As you all check your stats, the CAG tells you not to de-suit; you're about to make a second pass at the Tiamat. Almost immediately, you're scrambled again. Hopefully you destroyed alll of the turrets in the lost mission — otherwise, you'll hove to contend with them now. Meanwhile, the alien fleet is massing on the other side of the wormhole gate.

Mission I6
WCP Cutscene 2010.png Briefing
Finley gives everyone the lowdown on the Alien wormhole gate. She's got most of the structure figured out, and explains that by destroying its seven stabilizing towers, the wormhole will collapse.
WCP Cutscene 2016.png Dismissal
WCP Cutscene 2030.png Briefing Room
As you're out on your mission, everyone onboard is trying to figure out how to take down that last shield. Blair suggests that a pilot be sent in to shut down the final tower. Maniac assumes he'll get the role, but Blair is intending to volunteer himself. The CAG, although not pleased, lets him go with one stipulation — that he fly with Maniac and Maestro on his wing.
WCP Cutscene 2050.png Wormhole Gate, Flight Deck, Rec Room
Before Blair can exit the command center, he runs into the Alien Warlord, the same one that interrogated him on Dula Seven. In rage, Blair rushes the Alien and attacks him at point-blank range with his weapon. At the same time, you've finished your attack on the wormhole. As it swallows the incoming Alien fleet, your wing takes a victory trip back to the Midway.

End Games

Introduction
WCP Cutscene 2250.png MIA
Anderson's been checking the MIA list, and when the CAG comes in, he informs her that you never returned from the mission. She's shocked, as are your fellow pilots — they all thought you'd end up a hero, and now the war must go on without you.
WCP Cutscene 2270.png Relay Station
The relay station has fallen in a grand display of Alien firepower, destroying all onboard. The CAG and Anderson attempt to reach you via the console radio, but fail as the scene fades to black.
WCP Cutscene 2290.png Fallen Friend
Your friends are lamenting your untimely death over a pitcher of ale, and your usual place at the table is conspicuously empty. As the compliments die down. Stiletto remarks that she would like to have known you better. After a silent toast, a scramble alarm sounds, and it's back to business as usual ...
WCP Cutscene 2300.png Earth Overrun
A Ship Killer leads the massive Alien fleet into Earth's solar system and approaches Jupiter. In a single moment, the once-peaceful Confed headquarters is turned into a flaming moon by a single blast of the Aliens' plasma weapon. Leaving the wreckage to smolder, the fleet moves on toward the defenseless Earth.
WCP Cutscene 2310.png Plasma Gun
You've failed to shut off the Aliens' wormhole entrance, and now it's too late to stop the onslaught. Ship after ship starts pouring through the artificial portal, bound for our solar system. As the fleet approaches, Rachel and Finley realize that the only chance left is to fire the Midway's Plasma gun a second time. Although this is nearly sure to destroy the carrier, it's the only hope left for mankind ... The guns slowly warm up, and the hum grows louder and louder. As Finley readies the console, you see an exterior view of the Midway. It glows brighter and brighter, but instead of firing a plasma ball, the carrier is electrified and bursts into a cloud of flaming metal and plasma. A blast wave emanates from the former carrier, but it's not enough to stop the fleet.
WCP Cutscene 2340.png Midway Destroyed
The wormhole is open, and the alien fleet is moving in. The Midway is the only Confed carrier around, and its small force of fighters is no match for the heavy weapons it faces. In mere moments, the Midway is surrounded and fired upon for the last time.
WCP Cutscene 2350.png Midway Swarmed
An unidentified observer flies by the Midway in its death throes. The Midway's shields ore down and explosions crescendo into one final, life-ending flare.
