Preflight Conversations

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Venice System, 09:45 hours, 2654.287.

Peter Halcyon
As some of you have heard, we've pinpointed this system's Kilrathi base.
The Tiger's Claw will begin to move into position to strike that base.
Because Venice is a vital Kilrathi system...
...we expect significant resistance as we move the Claw into position.
For that reason, I'll be dispatching wings to fly on her flanks...
...to head off any attacks from the sides as we move.
The colonel assigns wings to fly above, below, and to port of the Claw.
Peter Halcyon
Maverick, you'll guard our starboard side.
Hunter will fly your wing again on this mission.
Here's your route...
Computer, display Phi.
This is essentially a three-point patrol...
...except that you'll rendezvous with the Tiger's Claw at Nav 3...
...instead of returning to the Claw's original position.
Be on the lookout for any enemy vessels in the area.
It's safe to assume any Kilrathi you see is headed to attack the Claw...
...so your orders are to immediately engage and destroy all enemy ships.
Any questions?
Christopher Blair
What kind of opposition are we looking at on this one, sir?
Peter Halcyon
Hard to say, Maverick. This is a crucial base for the Kilrathi...
...so they'll send their best to defend it.
Now, if that's all the questions...
All right, then. Squadron dismissed.

Mission Debriefing

Mission Debriefing. 12:45 hours, 2654.287.


Peter Halcyon
Glad you made it back, Maverick. Those Gratha were giving us a hard time.
Christopher Blair
We ran into some opposition along the way, sir, but we got past 'em.
Peter Halcyon
We expected that. Just what did you come up against?
Christopher Blair
Mostly a Ralari with a couple of Dralthi for escort.
They didn't get past us.
Peter Halcyon
Good job, Maverick.
All right, then, let's go over the numbers...
You skragged 6 of the Kilrathi fighters, Maverick...
and Hunter did in 3 himself.
Dismissed.

Hangar Deck. 13:00 hours, 2654.287.

Peter Halcyon
For meritorious conduct in confronting the Kilrathi enemy, in the Venice system,
on or about 2654.287, the Terran Confederation is proud to present the Bronze Star
to Major Blair. Your courage is exemplary of the Confederation’s finest defenders.
Good job, Maverick.
Congratulations.
Christopher Blair
Thank you, sir.

Filled with pride, Maverick meets the applause of his fellows.
