Transcript
Act One
SCENE - Planetary Rings
Maverick: Running planetary sensor sweep. Stay frosty, Clipper, the Kilrathi can't be far away. I can feel it.
Clipper: Roger that Maverick. Hope we find that Kilrathi carrier. I've got a score to settle.
Maverick: Oh come on, Clipper, destroying a Kilrathi carrier won't bring back the Trafalgar.
Clipper: No sir, but it sure will make me feel better.
Maverick: Contacts, stay on my wing. Kilrathi fighters, coming out of the ring.
Clipper: They're on my tail. More bogeys, nine o'clock.
Maverick: Stay with me, Clipper.
Zukara: Cut them off. If we lose them in the rings, someone will pay.
Maverick: Great, there's your carrier.
Clipper: Missile incoming.
Maverick: Break right, now.
Clipper: It's on you Maverick, get out of there.
Maverick: (grunts) Come on baby, give me the juice. (screams) I'm hit. Shields down, power failing, I'm down.
Clipper: Hang tough Maverick, I 'm coming.
Maverick: Negative, get back to the 'Claw, that's an order, do it.
Clipper: Good luck, pilot.
SCENE - Ice Moon
Maverick: That's good enough for landing. Come on, set it down.
SCENE - Space
Clipper: Repeat, Maverick is down. We were ambushed by Kilrathi fighters from a carrier orbiting the planet. Bogeys, they're still coming after me.
SCENE - Briefing Room
Clipper: I'm targetted. Breaking right. I got him, I got him. He is locked. (static)
Tolwyn: We tried to re-establish contact, we could not.
Maniac: Sir, Maverick's down on that planet, I'm volunteering for the rescue mission.
Archer: That makes two of us.
Payback: Three.
Tolwyn: There won't be any rescue mission, that's precisely what the Kilrathi want us to do. You'll be flying into a trap.
Maniac: But, but sir.
Tolwyn: The Kilrathi carrier will move now that its position has been reported. I want you on patrol to find it before it finds us.
Archer: What about Maverick, sir?
Tolwyn: He's on his own.
SCENE - Ice Cave
Maverick: (sighs) Wonderful.
SCENE - Ice Planet
Zukara: The Terran, I want him destroyed now.
Bhok: Highness, sensors indicate a large metallic object hidden in the snow.
Zukara: Ah, perhaps the Terran. Let's just see, shall we? Find the Terran pilot! I want his life for Sivar.
SCENE - Kilrathi Carrier
Bhok: Your highness.
Zukara: Spare me, Bhok, I'm in no mood.
Gharal: Highness, Prince Thrakhath has ordered me to convey you to the planet Dolos. It is almost time for the festival of Sivar. The Dolosians have been gathered for the sarcrifice.
Zukara: The Terran pilot down there is mine. I will not leave this pilot until he is found.
Gharal: But Prince Thrakhath ordered...
Zukara: I do not take orders from my brother. I too am of the Emperor's blood. Take your fighters down to the planet and help capture the Terran.
Bhok: At once, highness. Prepare to take off.
Pilots: (walla)
Gharal: I see Zukara has not changed.
Bhok: You are lucky you no longer fly with us. The sacrafice on Dolos, is it trueh that the hrai will swear allegiance directly to Prince Thrakhath?
Gharal: As the chosen Claw of the Emperor, yes. A blood oath, stronger even than a warrior's oath to his clan.
Bhok: Then it is true, Thrakhath intends to destroy the clans. When he becomes emperor, the warriors will owe their allegiance only to him.
Gharal: What do you mean, Bhok?
Bhok: The war against the Terrans is just an excuse for the imperial family to take more and more power.
Gharal: Perhaps. The independence of the clans might be the price of victory. But the life of a warrior is to obey.
Bhok: Yes, it is our lives.
SCENE - Ice Cave
Maverick: (sighs) Not exactly how I had my day planned. Huh, cozy. Just like home. The Kilrathi!
Pilot: I've found the Terrans fighter.
Maverick: (groans)
Bhok: It's over, Terran.
