The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Talk to Shotglass:
- Hey, Maverick. Here's your usual.
- I heard everyone had a rough patrol.
- But the grapevine says that all that Kilrathi activity...
- ... HAS to mean there's an installation nearby.
- If it's not the station we're looking for...
- ... it'll be something else that we can grind into the dust.
- I want you to nail some of those furballs for me today, Maverick. For me, and Zach.
Talk to Angel:
- Hello, Maverick. Care to sit down?
- I was just reviewing tactics for attacking capital ships.
- Ralari, Fralthi, or starbases, it's all the same.
- If there are defenders, take them out first.
- If possible, use only your guns on the defenders.
- Save your missiles for the primary target. You will need them, non?
- Try it the other way around, and the defenders will eat you alive.
Spirit:
- Good day, Major Blair. Have you come here to cheer me up?
- The Colonel thinks that I am depressed. It is not so.
- We live in uncertain times. And I have always known that Death walks beside each of us.
- But if we destroy the Kilrathi fleet and their secret weapon, I will celebrate.
- I will get very drunk, and swear quite loudly, and act much like Maniac or Hunter.
- At least for an hour or two.
- Or maybe not. What if my fiance were to learn of such behavior?
Mission Briefing
Colonel:
- We've got a lot to do and only a little time, so I'll keep this brief.
- First, you'll be flying Scimitars...the techs are repairing the other ships.
- And we've pinpointed the quadrant of the Kilrathi supply depot. Your mission is simple and strategic...
- Go to Nav 1 and Nav 2. Eliminate any inbound Kilrathi warships...
- Then head for the depot at Nav 3. Destroy it, and return to Tiger's Claw.
- But be careful. You can bet your lives that the depot will be guarded.
- Wing assignments
The Commander lists the other wing teams, then addresses you.
Colonel:
- Maverick, you and Paladin are Theta Wing again.
Colonel:
- Get ready for immediate launch. Dismissed.
