Storyline

Barracks, TCS Concordia
PALADIN
...and so, without thrusters, I used my momentum to skirt the event horizon...
"...swinging around behind the Dorkir just as it fired on you."
HOBBES
You've told that tale a thousand times...
...and each time it gets a little taller, as you humans say.
PALADIN
Is that so? Why, ye scruffy, flea-bitten...
DOWNTOWN
Don't mind them, Maverick. They always go on like this.
MAVERICK
I had no idea they got along so well.
PALADIN
Your deal, Christopher.
MAVERICK
Five card draw, gentlemen.
PALADIN
Let me tell you, lad, Ralgha and I have been friends for years.
This sorry excuse for a dustmop saved my life, back at Ghorah Khar.
HOBBES
I had nothing better to do, at the time.
DOWNTOWN
Hobbes, wake up and get your cards.
HOBBES
Sorry.
I open for fifteen.
DOWNTOWN
See that and raise ten.
MAVERICK
And ten more.
PALADIN
My hand's a wee bit lackin'. I'm out.
DOWNTOWN
Anyone beat a jack-high straight? Didn't think so...
PALADIN
Maverick, you look a bit troubled.
MAVERICK
It's Angel...she seems a little distracted.
PALADIN
Maverick, dinna worry about that lass.
Her head's on straight for sure.
MAVERICK
Some people say I'm using her...
PALADIN
Hush, lad! Anyone who knows you, knows better.
Angel's a fine pilot and a bonny lass.
And any lad who'd let her get away is as fur-brained as Ralgha!
HOBBES
Again, I wonder why I bothered to save this scoundrel's life...
PALADIN
Because ye're an impeccable judge of character, Ralgha.
And you are too, lad. Follow ye're heart and talk be damned.

Mission Briefing

EDMOND
Captain Blair, report to the Flight Deck for immediate launch!
EDMOND
Captain Blair, this is the Concordia. Do you copy?
MAVERICK
Roger, Concordia, loud and clear.
EDMOND
Your flight path has been programmed into your Nav computer.
MAVERICK
Affirmative, Concordia.
STINGRAY
Angel assigned me as your wingman for this run, Christopher.
MAVERICK
Glad to have you with me again, Stingray.
EDMOND
Maverick, we've detected a destroyer ...
...in your designated strike zone.
We don't know why that ship is still in system...
...but we're not going to let them rejoin the Strike Force.
That destroyer is a target of opportunity...
...and maybe we can start the payback for what happened on Tesla.
We expect they'll have a fighter escort, so be careful.
You will escort the William Tell to the attack zone.
The Concordia will continue on her current course ...
...and we will rendezvous after your mission.
Good luck. Concordia out.

Mission Debriefing

Light Damage Medium Damage Heavy Damage
SPARKS
Welcome back, sir.
SPARKS
Looks like it was a tough battle, sir!
SPARKS
Glad you made it back alive, sir.
Colonel Devereaux's Office, TCS Concordia.
ANGEL
How did it go, mon cher?
MAVERICK
We were ambushed along the way by a wing of light fighters.
We took care of them, and continued on to the enemy Task Force.
Reached Task Force Did Not Reach Task Force
We engaged the enemy. We couldn't reach the Task Force.
Destroyed Ralatha Did Not Destroy Ralatha
We nailed the destroyer, Colonel. We couldn't nail the destroyer, Colonel.
Maverick Scores Kills Maverick Scores No Kills
We trashed those furballs. I shot down X... There were just too many fighters. I didn't toast any...
Stingray Scores Kills Stingray Scores No Kills
... and Stingray took out X. ... and Stingray didn't take out any fighters at all.
It was a tough mission, but I made it back alive.
ANGEL
Non. I should not have sent you on this mission. It was too difficult.
Stingray Does Not Eject Stingray Ejects
ANGEL
By the way, S & R has reported that Stingray is okay, and will be back any minute.
MAVERICK
We came back, Angel. That's all that matters.
ANGEL
But what about next time? Every time I assign a mission to you...
...I feel like I am sending you out to die.

Errors

  • The Wing Commander I & II Ultimate Strategy guide incorrectly lists the Ambush as Drakhri instead of Sartha and the Task Force as having a second Ralatha which does not appear.
