Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Alright, Lieutenant.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: I've given Admiral Wilford a report of what occurred during the last mission, sir. He indicates that another convoy is now moving through the supply line, and there are retargeting plans in the works. The same mission, in other words.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: One more time in the spam-cans.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: You have another option, Colonel. The Admiral is launching a direct attack on the shipyard. Now some Confed pilots have indicated they wish to defect, but they'll need cover. Now the first wave from our fleet will be clearing a path, but our task would be escorting the defecting pilots back to the Intrepid.

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: It won't be easy telling them from the enemy.

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: We could use those fighters.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Colonel, the Admiral feels you're in the best position to decide which operation makes the best use of the Intrepid's resources.
