Transcript

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Ah, Colonel. I wish I had a little more faith in the data I'm getting from Confed Intel. We've just entered Border World territory, the Tyr system, where an important hostage has been taken, all because of the current tensions. Now, that means a ground extraction. But we have to find the hostage first and determine the best method of removal, which is where you come in. Now, Intel says the target is in this base complex on Tyr VII, but we need as much recon as we can get. Now, all our fighters are equipped with a new laser-recon device, fires like a gun, takes pictures like a camera. Get as close as you can and record as much info as possible. Now, be sure to consult your mission notes and your nav map. They'll have a few more technical details.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Any resistance expected?

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Well, my guess is they aren't going to appreciate snoops with cameras down there. Try to make it a clean operation. We're more interested in recon than kills. All set, Colonel?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You bet, Captain.

eisen I wish I had a little more faith in the data I'm getting from Confed Intel. We've just entered Border Worlds territory -- the Tyr system, where an important hostage has been taken, all because of the current tensions. That means a ground extraction -- but we have to find the hostage first and determine the best method of removal -- which is where you come in. (pointing to map) Intel says the target is in this base complex on Tyr VII, but we need as much recon as we can get.

Blair You bet, Captain.


LOADOUT NOTE: Regardless of which ship Blair chooses or what weapons he loads, the default setting on his gun trigger will be the non-lethal laser-recon device. He will have to manually switch to real guns when he needs to fire on the enemy and switch back to the laser-recon device when flying over the base complex.
