The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Pilots:
- Major Pitak Puzaki
- Captain Reynolds Carpenter
Ship Type:
- Scimitar's; assigned to the TCS Eagle's Talon
Mission:
- An Exeter was under heavy attack and Mu Wing was selected to provide assistance. We'd been ordered to make all possible speed and avoid any other enemies encountered en route to the destroyer.
Synopsis:
- Four Dralthi showed up on our way to meet the Exeter. I ordered Carpenter to form on my wing, turned right, and kept the afterburners running at full power. When the blips disappeared from the radar screen, we altered course to bring the nav cursor back into view. Continued on full afterburners until we reached our destination.
- Four Gratha were bearing down on the Exeter. Break and attack ordered, and we hit full afterburners and raced toward the destroyer. I targeted each attacking ship in turn and tried every insult in my communications repertoire. Three ships turned from the Exeter to confront our wing.
- Carpenter launched both of his Darts as the three Gratha headed toward us. I fired a quick volley from the Gatling, then broke right and hit the afterburners to go after the Gratha that was still hitting the Exeter. Concentrating on the one ship, two other Gratha hit me hard from the rear and sent my shield protection tumbling. I ignored the threat and destroyed my first target with my mass drivers and a Javelin HS. Eject warning sounded when a missile caught me from the rear and I punched out. Back at the Talon, I discovered that Carpenter had completed the mission on his own.
