Preflight Conversations
Talk to SHOTGLASS
- Seen the news on the trid lately?
- Looks like the Kilrathi are startin' to land marines on Toadstool.
- That's the only habitable world in the Hell's Kitchen system, you know.
- If the Kilrathi can push our people off, we're finished here!
- They ran some footage of the fightin' on the planet...
- ...and it wasn't pretty.
- I don't think our boys can keep the Kilrathi off the civilians much longer.
- Sure is quiet around the rec room these days.
Talk to HUNTER
- Iceman, 'ere, tells me tha' the furballs 'ave been plantin' mines around...
- I was thinkin' we might try to use those mines to our advantage
- If we're dogfightin' near a mine field, why not try to lead 'em into it?
- There'll be more of them than there are of us...
- ...an' if we concentrate on the avoidin' the mines...
- ...while they're thinkin' of shootin' us,
- ...they might just run into a few mines by accident!
Talk to ICEMAN
- Ah, Maverick, hello.
- Things are looking bad, aren't they?
- I've heard they've begun to plan for the evacuation of this system.
- The Kilrathi seem to be everywhere lately...
- ...and where they're not, they've left their mines behind them!
- Ian St. John
- Not to worry, mate Their mines'll blow up their ships as soon as ours.
- Michael Casey
- Hunter thought their mines could be used against them...
- ...but I'm not so sure.
- I say you can't be too careful when you're flying through a mine field!
Mission Briefing
Mission Briefing. Hell’s Kitchen System, 06:00 hours, 2654.286.
- Peter Halcyon
- I know everyone's giving all they've got...
- ...but the Kilrathi keep throwing more at us.
- Sector Command has ordered the evacuation of civilians from Hell's Kitchen.
- Christopher Blair
- I thought they were evacuating people to Hell's Kitchen, sir, not from it...
- Peter Halcyon
- They were, Maverick. But the Kitchen turned out to be just a stopover.
- So it's our job to hold the system as best we can...
- ...to cover the Confederate retreat.
- Right now, several of our vessels are under attack around the system.
- We'll be sending wings out to help in their defense.
- Maverick, you'll fly Mu Wing to assist an Exeter-class Destroyer.
- Hunter will fly on your wing again.
- Ian St. John
- Once more into the breach, mate!
- Peter Halcyon
- Here's the situation...
- The Exeter is currently at Nav 1...
- You'll head straight for her, and help in her defense.
- She's under attack by at least four Dralthi...
- ...apparantly led by the Deathstroke, Dakhath.
- So I want you to get over to that Exeter as fast as you can.
- If you're intercepted, simply evade and proceed to Nav 1.
- You are not to engage any enemy vessels en route, understand?
- Ian St. John
- Aw, colonel, that takes the fun out of it!
- Christopher Blair
- I understand, sir. No distractions, no delays.
- Peter Halcyon
- Good. Any last questions?
- All right, then. Let's get out there.
- Squadron dismissed.
