The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Talk to SHOTGLASS
- So, Maverick, here we are in the Venice System, in the heart of Kilrathi space.
- Course, the hairballs have their own name for it ... Kharak Tar, I think.
- Its habitable planet is a water world, like Port Hedland's.
- We call it Venice 'cause of ancient ruins on it, sinkin' into the ocean.
- But the Killie-cats aren't supposed to like the water...
- ...so they put their base in the system in an orbital station.
- Tactical thinks if we find that station and take it out...
- ...we'll take out the brains of the Kilrathi operations in the whole sector!
Talk to HUNTER
- Maverick, mate I understand we'll be flyin' together for a while.
- Colonel's just moved me over to Black Lion squadron and Rapier fighters.
- I can't wait to get out in one of these new Rapiers, mate!
- As I recall, she's got both lasers and neutron guns, right?
- The lasers were designed for firin' at a distance...
- ...an' the neutron guns for extra punch up close!
Talk to PALADIN
- Och, laddy, glad to 'ear that Khajja bloke was done in.
- I 'ad a run in with Khajja a while back.
- 'E's the coldest furball I've ever seen!
- I was flyin' with Dragon, out of Yellowjacket squadron...
- We ran into Khajja the Fang while we were flyin' watchdog on a tanker.
- We shot 'is wingmen to bits, and put 'is own shields and lasers out...
- ...but still 'e keeps comin'
- We're tight on is tail, but 'e holds 'iscourse and fires off a missile.
- One shot, right up the tanker's tailpipe, and she blows, big as day!
- An' while Dragon an' me are dodgin' 'er debris...
- ...the hairy bastard makes 'is escape!
