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.
