The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Talk to Shotglass:
- Hey, Maverick. Glad you made it back in.
- You might want to go talk to Paladin and Knight.
- I think they're both a little on the edge.
- Let me know if you hear anything else about Goddard, okay?
Talk to Knight:
- Good morning, Maverick.
- I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get worried about this affair.
- You realize we're heading blind as a bat into uncharted enemy space?
- Going after a Kilrathi super-weapon we know nothing about?
- Paladin:
- That's right, Major. Joe here is going to be our morale officer from now on.
- Knight:
- No, thanks... I'd rather fight the Kilrathi
- Knight:
- Let me tell you some of my own dark thoughts, kid.
- I've been watching Maniac. He says he's been having nightmares...
- ...and I've seen his hands shaking every time he climbs into the cockpit.
- I think Todd's losing it. He's always been on the edge, but this looks real bad.
- I'd keep a close eye on him, if he was my wingman.
- Otherwise, that crazy laugh of his might be the last thing you hear.
Talk to Paladin:
- Sit yourself down, lad, an' have a drink. There's a question that's been troublin' me---
- The cats hae shown nae mercy to our people. But if we win this war, wha' will we do to them?
- Knight:
- What do you mean, James?
- Paladin:
- Genocide, lad. If we dinna destroy them completely, this war may never end.
- An' if we do kill them all, how are we different from them?
- If we lose this war, I dinna care what happens, 'cause I won't be alive to see it---
- ...But what if we win?
Mission Briefing
Colonel:
- At the moment, we're cruising deeper into Kilrathi space.
- And we just received a coded, tight-beam message from the High Command.
- They're sending a convoy to rendezvous with us. But these ships will appear back at the border...
- ...right where we had our last scrap with the furballs.
- So I'm sending wings to retrieve it.
- You'll return to that jump-point, destroying any Kilrathi that you encounter.
- At designated jump-points, you'll rendezvous with the Sleipnir convoy...
- ...Drayman-class 'sports carrying a company of marines each.
- As some of you may know, the Sleipner carries the Reavers...
- ... a division of elite marine units from the Scandinavian nations of Earth.
- We need all the help we can get out here, people. Don't screw up.
- Each wing will escort their convoy to a jump point in Kilrathi territory.
- After the Reavers jump, then return to Tiger's Claw.
- If we're lucky, this mission will bring us an additional benefit.
- The Kilrathi might think that this is only an extensive border attack---
- ---and not realize that we're heading deep into their space.
- Okay, individual wing assignments.
He gives the orders for each wing, then...
Colonel:
- Epsilon Wing is Maverick and Angel.
Colonel:
- You'll fly a straight course to the rendezvous point.
- If you're jumped by any Kilrathi, don't hesitate to destroy them.
- Rendezvous with your convoy at Nav One.
- Escort them back to Nav 2, just this side of the hot zone.
- When they jump clear, break off and return home.
- The Reavers have their own orders. They're on a 'secret mission' as well.
- If they're successful, we'll rendezvous with them later.
- Dismissed.
