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:
- The Eagle's Talon was ordered to Nav 2 to jump to the Venice system and assist the Tiger's Claw in the final assault on the Kilrathi. In a last-gasp effort, all remaining enemy forces in Hell's Kitchen were attacking the carrier to prevent the jump.
Synopsis:
- When we reached Nav 1, two Gratha and a Ralari were heading for the Talon. We went after the Gratha first, saving our missiles for the Kilrathi capital ship.
- While Carpenter rolled and turned to move above the Gratha, I turned right, hit the afterburners, and yanked the stick left for a sliding attack. I kept my finger on the afterburner switch, knowing it was the most valuable defensive weapon in my arsenal.
- With constant speed changes, I avoided the incoming gunfire and slid into the slot behind the Gratha. He dropped a Porcupine that caught the Scimitar's upper superstructure, and I blasted away from the rear with the mass drivers. It took more than eight attacks to destroy the heavy fighters.
- The Ralari fell to four Darts, two javelins, and constant gunfire from our two Scimitars. Taking our time, we hit the destroyer from the rear, turned away at 1200 meters, and circled to attack continuously.
- We ran into four Salthi, the last in the system, 121,000 kilometers from Nav 2. Under break and attack, we de-stroyed the Salthi light fighters, using guns to weaken the shields and heat-seekers for the kill.

- ...so we will be facing only their finest pilots from now on.
- I have been reading the records of their leading aces...

- I spent me entire bloody life fightin' the Kilrathi...

- Bloody damn shame, 'at's what it is...

- I need someone to head off the Ralari, and detain or destroy her...
- ...while the Claw prepares for her jump.
- I want to point out that there are no guarantees on this one.

- Peter Halcyon
- Maverick Glad to have you back on board
- We were able to follow most of your engagements on long-range sensors...
- Brilliant flying...absolutely brilliant.

- ...we might not have been chased out of the sector like this.
- Christopher Blair

End Game
Fleeing from the overwhelming Kilrathi forces in the sector, the Tiger’s Claw manages to jump out. Barely. There’ll be other sectors, other battles…
