The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Talk to SHOTGLASS
- Well, hiya, Maverick!
- Things are happening around here. We've been making a lot of jumps.
- A LOT of jumps. You don't have to be an active-duty pilot...
- ...to realize that something unusual is happening.
- Keep your ears open, and let me know what you hear, okay?
Talk to BOSSMAN
- Maverick Sit down, have a drink. I was just thinking about a story I'd heard---
- ---about the Gwenhyvar, an Exeter-class ship that disappeared a few years ago.
- Michael Casey
- You don't really believe that old fairy tale, do you?
- Kien Chen
- I don't think it's a fairy tale, Ice.
- Christopher Blair
- I've never heard this story, Bossman. What happened to the Gwenhyvar?
- Kien Chen
- Supposedly the Kilrathi captured it intact in dry dock, with all of its fighter complement and some of the crew....
- ...and they've used it to deceive and destroy other Confederation ships.
- No one who's encountered the Gwenhyvar has survived to tell the tale.
- Michael Casey
- I'll believe it when I see it.
Talk to ICEMAN
- Strange things going on.
- I was on the bridge a few hours ago.
- Tiger's Claw received a coded transmission...
- ...from High Command. The Colonel read it...
- ... and ordered non-essentials off the bridge.
- Since then, we've been jumping like crazy.
- Kien Chen
- We'll know what's happening soon enough, Iceman.
- Michael Casey
- True. Very true.
Mission Briefing
Mission Briefing, $T, $D.
- Peter Halcyon
- Quiet, everyone. We have a lot of ground to cover.
- As you may have noticed, the Tiger's Claw has made several jumps today...
- ...because we've been temporarily ordered out of Vega Sector.
- Several hours ago, we received an emergency communication...
- ... from the Goddard colony in the Deneb sector.
- A Kilrathi fleet has attacked the colony, using some kind of new weapon.
- Unfortunately, we've lost communications with the colony.
- Now we're preparing to jump to Goddard.
- Todd Marshall
- Sir? Does this mean we don't know what kind of mess we're jumping into?
- Peter Halcyon
- Right. We don't know the full extent of the Kilrathi fleet...
- ...and we don't know what's happened to the Goddard colony.
- For now, NO ONE is to talk about this to the crew. However, we won't be alone...
- ...as we're scheduled to make a rendezvous with the Hickok.
- She's a Dilligent-class 'sport loaded with emergency relief supplies for the colony.
- Also, we rendezvous with the Marciano, a Venture-class corvette.
- Mission assignments Alpha Wing will patrol in Hornets...we need you in our fastest ships.
- You'll launch immediately when we appear in the Goddard system.
- If there are any cats in our vicinity, eliminate them.
- Then I want you to go to Nav 1 and scout for any other Kilrathi activity.
- Afterwards, proceed to Nav Point 2, where the Hickok is preparing to jump to Goddard...
- ...and provide support for her if the Kilrathi attack.
- Once she's jumped, go to Nav Point 3, where you'll meet with the Marciano.
- Escort the corvette back to the Claw, eliminating any threats.
- Maverick, you're wingleader, with Hunter as your wingman.
The colonel moves on to the other wing and squad assignments. Your attention snaps back to him as he concludes.
- Peter Halcyon
- That's all. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for launch.
Mission Debriefing
Mission Debriefing -- $T, $D.
- Peter Halcyon
- Okay. You'll have to launch again in a few minutes, so let's make this quick.
- Your report, Maverick.
- Christopher Blair
- A Lumbari-class tanker was getting ready to jump out at Nav 1. It's history, sir.
- And we were able to keep the Kilrathi away from the Hicock. She's headed for the colony now.
- At Nav 3, we protected the Marciano from a squadron of Krants.
- Peter Halcyon
- For the record, your recorder credits you with killing 9, Maverick...
- ... and Hunter came up with 7.
- All right. You have ten minutes, then get back to Briefing.
- Dismissed.
