Preflight Conversations
Talk to Shotglass
- Shotglass
- Maverick, let me pour you a drink.
- I've heard that this system is really in Kilrathi space… and that we're here on some sort of covert mission.
- Christopher Blair
- Oh?
- Shotglass
- Yes. Have you heard anything about it?
- Christopher Blair
- No, nothing.
- Shotglass
- Hmm. I can't figure why we'd be here if it was, all by ourselves… unless it was for covert activities.
- I guess we'll find out, if they think we need to know.
Talk to Hunter
- Ian St. John
- Hey Maverick, how's it going? I've been talking with Bossman here about flying.
- I love flying, I'd be happy enough if that's all I had to do.
- I keep having this dream where I'm out in my ship, just flying on and on.
- It's so peaceful… and then I wake up, no more to it.
- Christopher Blair
- Interesting Hunter, do you think it means anything?
- Ian St. John
- Yeah, that I'd better get out of this blasted war.
- It's not happening soon, so I'll just deal with it.
- By the way Maverick, I wanted to thank you.
- You've been a good friend through all this, I value that.
- Sorry I'm getting all choked up on you.
Talk to Bossman
- Chen Kien
- Maverick, it's good to see you. You haven't been around much lately.
- Christopher Blair
- Yes, well. I've been busy. The library got a new shipment of novels in.
- Chen Kien
- Oh, yeah right, you've probably got a new friend.
- Christopher Blair
- No, it's not that, I'm just tired.
- Chen Kien
- You're not sick, are you?
- Christopher Blair
- No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking though, Kien.
Mission Briefing
Mission Briefing. Cairo System
- Peter Halcyon
- All right, pilots, let's get to work.
- We're here to assure the safety of other Confederation ships.
- There's a Kilrathi fleet heading this way, and we're pulling out…
- in order to stage an attack later, while they aren't expecting it.
- Tactical is guessing that it's a strike force, smaller than the fleet that attacked the Goddard colony.
- But we don't know that for certain.
- They may just be passing through but we just don't have the firepower to risk a big battle yet.
- That day is coming soon, however, and I know we'll be ready for it. Now for your assignments.
The Colonel gives out specific orders to each wing, and then…
- Peter Halcyon
- Epsilon wing will be Maverick and Maniac. Maverick is wingleader.
- You will follow your programmed navcomp course.
- Rendezvous with the corvette and proceed to Nav 2.
- You need to go through Nav 1 to avoid a minefield between here and Nav2.
- I don't think the Venture could make it through.
- Once the Venture has jumped return to the Tiger's Claw directly through that field.
- If you meet the enemy, engage only to ensure the safety of the corvette.
- If you can avoid them, do so. There's no shame in it.
- That's all then, pilots. Dismissed.

but we got the venture out safely, the Ralari is still out there though. Peter Halcyon A squad is already on the way to take care of it, you did the right thing Lt. Christopher Blair The corvette jumped right on schedule, and we ran into a pair 'of Salthi in the minefield, but they were no trouble. |
They got the venture sir. I'm sorry, we did everything we could. Peter Halcyon Damnit, that corvette was important, I told you to avoid Kilrathi if it endangered the corvette. we could have sent another squadron to take care of the Ralari, you had no business chasing after it Christopher Blair Yes sir, I'm sorry sir. Peter Halcyon Well it cant be helped now |
