====SCENE - Briefing Room====
'''Tolwyn''': Pay special attention to your drift indicators. These binary stars generate a complex gravitational field. There are no planets... the gravity has pulled them apart before they can form. Now your mission is to scout the asteroid belt. You'll divide into two patrols lead by cadets Blair and Getz.
'''Maverick''': Thank you, sir.
'''Blizzard''': Sir.
'''Tolwyn''': You launch in one hour. Watch out for flying rocks. Dismissed.
====SCENE - Ready Room====
'''Payback''': With all of space to choose from, Tolwyn can really choose some nasty asteroids for his training exercises. 'Watch out for flying rocks.' (grunts) Man, I hate asteroids.
'''Archer''': Ah, the old man's got his reasons. The Kilrathi won't always let you pick where you want to fight. We need to practice.
'''Payback''': So we play hide and seek in the asteroids. I just want one clear shot at a furball capship.
'''Blizzard''': Archer, I want you to fly wing with me.
'''Archer''': Uh, sure Blizzard.
'''Blizzard''': Good.
'''Payback''': That's the most I've heard Blizzard say since he joined the Academy. I think he likes you.
'''Archer''': (sighs) No way. He'd have to have emotions for that. And they'd get in the way of his flying. (laughs)
'''Payback''': (laughs)
'''Maverick''': What's the joke?
'''Payback''': (laughs) Trust me, you don't want to know.
====SCENE - Elevator====
'''Guthrig''': (clears throat) I'm on my way to the hangar deck to jog. Even a psychiatrist can appreciate the value of exercise.
'''Maverick''': I thought it might be something like that. Well, we've got a training mission to fly.
'''Guthrig''': I see. I believe numerous banter is useful in relieving pre-flight tension.
'''Blizzard''': I'm never tense.
'''Archer''': That's why we call him Blizzard... he's always frosty.
'''Guthrig''': I see.
====SCENE - Flight Deck====
'''Maverick''': Hey Maniac, that's my ride.
'''Maniac''': I was just looking out for you, hotshot. Asking, uh, McEadance here if there was a way to boost your shields. There's an awful lot of rocks out here.
'''Maverick''': Yeah, I'll prep my own fighter.
'''Maya''': No, you'll watch me do it.
'''Maverick''': Well, sure Maya, that's what I meant. What was that?
'''Maniac''': We were hit by something, genius. Probably an asteroid.
'''Maya''': That was a missile impact. Felt like the n umber six shield to me.
'''Tolwyn''': Condition red. We are under attack. All pilots to your fighters. Repeat, this is not a drill.
'''Archer''': (groans) Hey! Hold it, Maniac!
'''Maniac''': Sorry Archer, no time to talk.
====SCENE - Space====
'''Maverick''': Break, break! He's not even trying to pull out.
'''Blizzard''': Stay with me, Payback.
'''Payback''': I'm on your wing, Blizzard.
'''Blizzard''': Arming energy guns.
'''Payback''': This furball's not stopping.
'''Blizzard''': Fire.
'''Payback''': His shields held, break right. N ow!
'''Maniac''': Alright, you faced the rest, now face the best. Hey! Uh. Oh no, my missiles weren't prepped (scream)
'''Maverick''': I'm on his six.
'''Maniac''': Get out of there, Maverick.
'''Maverick''': You had your chance, Maniac. This one's mine. Woah!
====SCENE - Bridge====
'''Tolwyn''': Any more contacts?
'''Sensor Tech''': No sir. Astral flare. It's off the scale! Our shields are holding.
'''Tolwyn''': What about the fighters? Their shields are a lot weaker than ours.
