Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: We're approaching Melek's home which is a Kilrathi starbase.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: What's their status?

1ST LIETENANT VELINA SOSA: My attempts at raising the station have been met with complete silence. No response on any channel, sir.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: In other words, we don't know who or what's down there. Now, our marine contingent has finally arrived, so here's what we're going to do. I'm gonna take two wingmen up, sweep the area for hostiles. The starbase is located at the second nav point. As soon as we've secured the area, we'll signal for Lt. Colonel Dekker and his men to shuttle out and gain control of the base while we provide cover. They're prepping right now. Now, Melek is going to follow in one of his own shuttles and, once he's delivered, we'll escort the Marines back to the Intrepid which will be at a new location near the jump point leading out of the system. Now, keep in mind, there may be more Border Worlds ships out there piloted by the enemy. Everybody got that? Dismissed. This is where we say goodbye, Melek.

MELEK: My hrai will be most interested in this new picture I will offer of 'The Heart of the Tiger'.
