Transcript

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Ah, Colonel. Confed has deemed this an especially critical mission.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Any particular reason?

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Let's get down to business, shall we, Colonel?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes, sir!

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Enemy reinforcements are headed this way, so we have to move fast. A trooper transport has just joined up with us. They'll be moving in right behind you, carrying the ground personnel who will nab the hostage. Now, as you know, we didn't get all the recon we wanted. Now, each of these nav points represents an installation, and we think the hostage is in one of them. You'll cover the transport as it docks with each structure, until the ground troops find the hostage, then bring them home. Try to make this quick and clean, Colonel. Maybe we'll get lucky.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes, sir.
