The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong

Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass:

Major Good to see you.
I heard about the Gwenhyvar. I never believed that old story, either.
Anyhow, you heard the latest news? Grapevine says we lost sight of the enemy ships.
They're out there somewhere, and we can't find them.
We fly all this way into Kilrathi space, and lose so many people...
...and for what? There's no way we can afford to turn back now.
We'd better find those cats, kill them and get out of here fast---
---or we'll be as dead as my cousin, and the rest of the colonists on Goddard.

Talk to Hunter:

ello, mate. Seen enough action yet?
Hunter:
I was telling the Old Man here that Zeta Wing lost a couple pilots today.
Hunter:
One of them just went bonkers, flew right at a Fralthi---
And went up in an explosion that didn't even dent the side of that catbox lorry.
If we keep losing pilots, there won't be enough of us to fly...
...and then it'll be over.
Paladin:
And I was just tellin' this haggis-brained lad...
That there are a few pilots in our OWN squadron that need new pilots' suits.
Good white ones, with extra-long sleeves.

Talk to Paladin:

Good to see ye again, lad.
Listen, do us all a favor, would ye?
A lot of the pilots have been hearin' that we lost the Kilrathi fleet.
They're expectin' us to turn tail and run back for Terran space.
Some of 'em are tickled pink about it.
Some of 'em are thinking about proppin' a gun 'gainst their chin an' pulling the trigger.
You tell 'em it's all damned foolishness.
Colonel Halcyon is a very canny man, the best in the space navy.
If anyone can find the Kilrathi, he can.
So if anyone asks you, this is what you should tell them
This operation isn't over, and we haven't lost it yet.

Mission Briefing

Colonel:

Pilots, we have trailed our target to this system.
We're not sure of the location of the Kilrathi fleet with the secret weapon, but we know they're in the area.
The fleet is probably going to call for reinforcements. Probably Fralthi, with destroyer escorts.
Two Fralthi with additional heavy ships, if they know where to catch us...
... will reduce Tiger's Claw to molten slag.
Personally, I'd prefer not to command a slagged ship.
So we're going to have to launch an attack on them very, very soon.
We don't know exactly where they are. But we do have some good data....
The ships in this strike fleet were designed to be fast and maneuverable. Which means they aren't carrying much fuel.
This means that they're probably headed towards...any guesses, pilots?

Maverick:

A supply depot, sir?

Colonel:

Tactical agrees with you on that guess, $C. That's where we think their fleet is headed.
We're going to get to the supply depot first and take it out.
You're going to fly scouting missions. With the information you'll bring back...
...we should be able to locate the supply depot.
Here's the setup. Make sure you scout each of these Nav points.
Just follow your mission flight plans; engage the enemy if you find him.
But back down from overwhelming opposition. We need the information more than we need a few dead heroes.
We also have unconfirmed reports of a large ship of an unknown Kilrathi design type.
This ship will register as a blue target, until we can update your targeting computers.
But it's definitely one of theirs. Get camera information on it, if you can.

You listen as the commander explains mission assignments.

Colonel:

Psi Wing will be Maverick and Paladin, with Maverick as wingleader.

Colonel:

Dismissed.
