Transcript

Act One

SCENE - Simulator

Archer: Come on, come on, I know you're hiding in here. There you are. Okay, lock up baby, come on. Yes! I've got missile lock. Missile lock confirmed. Bingo. Woo-hoo!


SCENE - Sim Room

Guthrig: Give us a minute, ensign.

Archer: I nailed 'em that time.

Guthrig: According to the simulator printout you hesitated. Why?

Archer: I had to make sure of the missile lock. It only took two seconds.

Guthrig: Actually, 1.93 seconds. Enoguh time for the Kilrathi to have eliminated you or your wingman.

Archer: You're going to ding me over two lousy seconds?

Guthrig: We have to run more simulations. I'm sorry, but until then I have to ground you.

Archer: I can't... fly?

Guthrig: In my opinion, you're a liability in combat.

Archer: What do you know about combat?


SCENE - Flashback

Blizzard: I want you to have this.

Archer: You know I can't accept this, Blizzard. Alan, it's Archer... it's Gwen. You've got to turn back.

Blizzard: Gwen? Kilrathi liar!

Tolwyn: Fire, Bowman, fire!

Archer: Eject, Alan, eject!


SCENE - Archer's Quarters

Maniac: So what's this crud about you beign grounded?

Archer: Won't you come in?

Maniac: Don't get cute, Archer, I saw the duty roster. Now what gives.

Archer: Doctor's orders.

Maniac: Guthrig? The doctor who needs a doctor?

Archer: He's not so crazy. Hey!

Maniac: This thing about you blaming yourself for what happened to Blizzard has gone too far. It's time to let it go.

Archer: Hey, that's mine, Maniac.

Maniac: You're a good pilot. Not as good as me but hey, who is. Look, you've got to move on.

Archer: It's not that easy.

Maniac: You make it easy. That's how I do it.

Archer: What do you care all of a sudden?

Tolwyn: All duty pilots report to the briefing room immediately.

Maniac: (huffs) Later, Archer.


SCENE - Briefing Room

Tolwyn: Gentlemen, we have received a distress call from the hospital ship Plekiu. She was part of a convoy that was jumped by a Kilathi advance force at the edge of this sector. That means the Pleiku is wihtin range of our fighters. Cadet Blair will lead this sortie. The mission: to lend close support to the hospital ship and to escort her to the Tiger's Claw. And be wary of Kilrathi traps.

Maverick: Yes sir.


SCENE - Space

Maverick: Alright guys, keep your eyes on your sensors, this is the last reported position of the Pleiku.

Maniac: You'd think we'd be seeing signs of a battle by now.

Maverick: Maybe this battle's over.

Maniac: Wait, wait, I'm picking up a ship.

Maverick: Me too. It's not a fighter, either.

Maniac: Confirm that, a hospital ship, we got it.

Grunt: Gatos don't leave much, do they.

Maverick: I'm reading a hull breach, radiation leaks, engines destroyed, main power systems offline.

Maniac: Maverick, I'm picking up life signs. There are \people alive in there.

Maverick: Okay, let's see if we can talk to them. Hospital ship Pleiku, this is Chris Blair from the Tiger's Claw, do you read? Come in, Pleiku, do you read?

Maniac: Look at that, there's nothing left of the bridge.

Maverick: Comm systems are out too, we're getting no answer. Hang on. I'm picking up another ship.

Hyena: One of ours?

Maverick: Too far away to get a recognition signal Better check it out.

Maniac: What about the hospital ship, we can't just leave them. The Kilrathi might come back to finish the job.

Maverick: Good point, Maniac, thanks for volunteering.

Maniac: Hey, woah, hey, time out. I wasn't volunteering. I go where the action is. I'm your best pilot.

Maverick: Yeah, and I'm lead on this pilot. You stay put right here.


SCENE - Morgan Bridge

Weapons Officer: The Terrans have taken the bait.

Captain: As soon as they're in range launch our little surprise and inform the Nir'Runihn to destroy the hospital ship. (laughs) It has served its purpose.


SCENE - Space

Maverick: Getting a recognition symbol. It's Confederation, fighter transport Morgan.

Grunt: Reinforcements! Que suerte!

Maverick: Transport ship Morgan, we are here to assist.

Grunt: Maybe it's a welcoming committee?

Maverick: Some welcoming committee, they're leaving. Kilrathi! It's a trap!
