The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Preflight Conversations
Talk to Shotglass
- Hello, Maverick. Drinks are on the house today.
- I don't really have anything much to celebrate, y'see.
- I was holdin' onto this faint hope that my cousin Zach had made it...
- ... that somehow he was alive, hiding out on that Drayman.
- I knew it wasn't true, but I couldn't stop thinking about it.
- It was making me crazy, but now I know the truth.
- It's all over. Zach is dead.
- As dead as everyone else on Goddard. So the drinks are on me---
- ---until we're all too drunk to think.
Talk to Bossman
- Good morning, Maverick. I've been thinking about the Gwenhyvar...
- Maniac:
- Bossman keeps tellin' that the Phantom Exeter is real.
- Bossman
- There are a lot of ships who've flown missions and never been heard from again....
- ...with no Kilrathi ships in the area, only our own.
- That's why I think the Gwenhyvar is real...
- ...and she's out there, somewhere.
- Maniac
- And I think you're nuts, Boss.
- Bossman
- And you're supposed to be sane, Maniac?
Talk to Maniac
- Hey, Maverick. Still alive?
- I was certain you were going to die out there today.
- We're all going to die, you know. It's just a matter of time.
- But I know I'm being saved for something. Something wonderful.
- Everyone here teases me because I'm such a hot pilot, and I'm not afraid to say it.
- But they'll see. They'll all see...
- ...and they'll remember ME as the man who aced the Kilrathi secret weapon.
- Won't that be great?
Mission Briefing
The Commander checks his notes, then speaks
Colonel:
- Yesterday's mission, though crucial, tipped off the Kilrathi to our presence.
- They don't know the size of our fleet, and they can't be sure...
- ... that we're actually following them. Let's try to keep it that way.
- Lady Luck is riding with us, though. The Reavers operating in this area...
- ...have captured an intact Dralthi class fighter.
- They're flying her back to the Claw for our techs and intel boys.
- There's a lot of Kilrathi tactical data in that ship, pilots.
- That data could make the difference for us. I need someone to escort it in.
Maverick:
- I know I can do it, Colonel.
Colonel:
- Okay. Maverick, you're Gamma Wing. Pick your wingman.
Maverick:
- I'll fly with Bossman again, sir.
Colonel:
- Fine. Here's the setup.
- Head to the rendezvous point via Nav 1.
- Nav 2 is your real destination. Make sure there's no danger for our Dralthi fighter...
- ...who will meet you there. Escort him home.
- One thing. Tactical recommends that Nav 1 should be avoided for the trip home.
- You are to return by way of Nav 3 and use the asteroids for cover.
- Good luck, Maverick. Squadron dismissed.
