Storyline

Observation Deck, TCS Concordia.

JAZZ With those enemy carriers moving into this system... ...it's getting so you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Jalkehi. No offense, Hobbes. HOBBES Do not apologize, Major. I rarely listen to what you have to say. DOWNTOWN It's a rotten analogy, but Jazz's right. We're seriously outnumbered and outgunned in this system. MAVERICK Hell, I've been in worse spots. Like back in the Firekka System... JAZZ I haven't thought about that operation in years... That was back before the Tiger's Claw was blown up...wasn't it, ë? MAVERICK Yes, it was. DOWNTOWN With all due respect, guys... that's ancient history to me. I'm worried about the here and now. We're up against two Kilrathi carriers... ...both of which are defended by Jalkehi-class heavy fighters. JAZZ You'd better be on your toes, Captain... ...or you won't be flying home from this one.

Mission Briefing

Briefing Room, TCS Concordia.

ANGEL Today you will fly standard patrols. Jazz, you and Doomsday are Alpha Wing, and will fly the forward patrol Maverick and Stingray are Bravo Wing, and will fly the rear patr...excuse me, mes amis... The room grows quiet as Angel listens to an emergency communication. ANGEL Pilots, a Kilrathi strike fleet is heading for this position at top speed. The Concordia must retreat, and quickly. The following pilots report to the Flight Deck for immediate launch... Maverick, you and Stingray will fly point, intercepting the advance fighters from that strike fleet. You will then rendezvous with Paladin's Free Trader and escort him to the jump point. When that is completed, rendezvous with the Concordia, which will be underway for the jump point. STINGRAY Wouldn't we do better to sit at the jump point and await Concordia's arrival? ANGEL Non, Stingray. Concordia may need your assistance enroute. All other wings stay close to the Concordia to ward off attack. After this mission, the William Tell will jump out-system--- ---to draw enemy pursuit away from the Concordia. Pilots, I do not need to tell you that we are in great danger. Fly well, and be prepared for the out-system jump. Dismissed.

Mission Debriefing

MAVERICK Concordia, this Captain Blair, on final landing approach. EDMOND Maverick, this is Major Edmond. New orders--- Do not, repeat, do not attempt to land. The ACLS was damaged, but should have it back online in another few minutes. Remain in a circular patrol pattern. You'll be down in no time, copy? MAVERICK Roger, Concordia. EDMOND What happened on your flight, Blair?
Grikath Destroyed		Grikath Not Destroyed
MAVERICK We were unable to take out all of the Grikath wing. They're still operational. EDMOND That's not what we needed to hear, Captain. We don't have time to wade through Kilrathi fighters.		MAVERICK We won't have to worry about those Grikath any more. They're out of commission for good. EDMOND Good work, Captain!
Rendezvoused with Bonnie Heather		Did Not Rendezvous with Bonnie Heather
MAVERICK We rendezvoused with the Free Trader, and proceeded to the jump point. There were Jalkehi class heavy fighters patrolling the jump point.		MAVERICK We sustained too much damage in combat with the Grikath and were forced to abort the mission. EDMOND The Admiral is not going to be happy. I'd keep a low profile, if I were you.
Paladin Survived		Paladin Did Not Survive
MAVERICK Paladin's freighter jumped out safely, Major.		MAVERICK We lost Paladin, Major.
EDMOND How many enemy ships were you able to take out?
Maverick Scores Kills		Maverick Scores No Kills
MAVERICK By my best count, I nailed X targets. EDMOND Not bad. Maverick, the ACLS is back online. You are clear to make your approach. Concordia out.		MAVERICK None, Major. I was shut out. EDMOND Inexcusable. Maverick, the ACLS is back online, but you'll have to wait to land... ...until we have launched more fighters to finish your job. Concordia out.
