The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Colonel: Quiet, everyone. We have a lot of ground to cover. As you may have noticed, the Tiger's Claw has made several jumps today... ...because we've been temporarily ordered out of Vega Sector. Several hours ago, we received an emergency communication... ... from the Goddard colony in the Deneb sector. A Kilrathi fleet has attacked the colony, using some kind of new weapon. Unfortunately, we've lost communications with the colony. Now we're preparing to jump to Goddard.
Maniac: Sir? Does this mean we don't know what kind of mess we're jumping into? Colonel:
Right. We don't know the full extent of the Kilrathi fleet... ...and we don't know what's happened to the Goddard colony. For now, NO ONE is to talk about this to the crew. However, we won't be alone... ...as we're scheduled to make a rendezvous with the Hickok. She's a Dilligent-class 'sport loaded with emergency relief supplies for the colony. Also, we rendezvous with the Marciano, a Venture-class corvette. Mission assignments Alpha Wing will patrol in Hornets...we need you in our fastest ships. You'll launch immediately when we appear in the Goddard system. If there are any cats in our vicinity, eliminate them. Then I want you to go to Nav 1 and scout for any other Kilrathi activity. Afterwards, proceed to Nav Point 2, where the Hickok is preparing to jump to Goddard... ...and provide support for her if the Kilrathi attack. Once she's jumped, go to Nav Point 3, where you'll meet with the Marciano. Escort the corvette back to the Claw, eliminating any threats.
Colonel: Maverick, you're wingleader, with Hunter as your wingman.
Narator The colonel moves on to the other wing and squad assignments. Your attention snaps back to him as he concludes.
Colonel: That's all. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for launch.
