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.
