Preflight Conversations

Talk to SHOTGLASS

Take a load off, Maverick. I've got good news.

We just got a report from the seige force over Kurasawa IV.

The CSS Suffolk just torched a Kilrathi communications station.

That should keep those Kilrathi jerks in the dark for a while.

I'll let you know if I hear anything else. See you, Maverick.

Talk to KNIGHT

Good day, Maverick. Heard you're flying a Rapier these days.

Is it really as quick as everyone says? I've got to see it in action.

I just got back from a patrol out near Kurasawa IV.That was a nightmare.

Me and Lightning were jumped by a couple of wings of Gratha.

We managed to take out five of them before they got Lightning.

If we'd had those Rapiers, I bet that we'd never have taken a hit.

They're good ships. You're lucky to get to fly one out.

Talk to SPIRIT

Konichi-wa, Maverick-san. Do you have time to share?

I am inspired by the reports of our sucesses. We are doing well.

Still, I am sure that there are many battles left to be fought.

The Kilrathi will not be vanquished until they are beaten on their own territory.

Beware a desperate enemy, $C. They will stop at nothing to defeat you.

Until we meet again.

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Kurasawa System, 06:00 hours, 2654.282.

Peter Halcyon

O.K. Boys and girls, we've been lucky.

Less than 4 hours ago, we received a Code Blue transmission...

It seems our boys captured a Ralari-class destroyer in the Port Hedland System.

Sector Command wants to use this ship in our seige here at Kurasawa.

I've given my assurances that we'll bring her in intact.

I'm sending a wing to rendezvous with the Ralari and escort it to the Claw.

Bossman and Maverick, This one's yours. Maverick will fly lead.

Christopher Blair

Understood, Colonel.

Peter Halcyon

Here's the scenario...

Computer, display Omicron.

The Ralari entered the system at the jumppoint near Nav 1.

There's an asteroid belt along the way.Keep your eyes peeled for trouble.

Once you've arrived at the rendezvous point,you'll escort the destroyer back here.

One other note. Our sensors show a Kilrathi force approaching at high speed.

They must have been sent to prevent us from getting the Ralari. Expect a tough fight.

That's all, gentlemen.

Dismissed.

Mission Debriefing

Mission Debriefing. 15:00 hours, 2654.282.

Peter Halcyon

The captured Ralari has pulled into formation with the Claw. Good job, Maverick!

Same for you, Major Chen. You both are a credit to the Confederation.

Kien Chen

The credit belongs to Maverick, sir.

Christopher Blair

I can't take all the credit, sir. Bossman played a major role.

Peter Halcyon

Let's review what happened out there...

Maverick got 6 of the hairballs...

and 2 for Bossman.

I commend you on bringing back the Ralari.

Dismissed.

Hangar Deck. 17:00 hours, 2654.282.

the Terran Confederation is proud to present the Silver Star to Major Blair.

Your courage is exemplary of the Confederation’s finest defenders.

Thank you, sir.
