Transcript

CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: �Hey, got some good news, kid.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: �I can always use some of that.

CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: Your Kilrathi pals were pretty helpful with my cloaker gadget.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You got it working?

CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: Yeah, the cats showed me how to get some extra charges outta the crystal that runs it. Problem is, I only got one of them crystals left, so you can forget about having a wingman along. Flying next to a guy who ain't cloaked kinda defeats the purpose anyway, right? And, of course, the crystal is still gonna burn out sooner or later: Hopefully later. Personally, I'd like to see us raiding those mines where they dig up those crystals, but they're pretty deep in Confed territory. Anyways, care to run with it kid?
