Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass

Shotglass

Hi there, Maverick.

How are things today? Doing well, I hope.

I've been in a good mood all day. Can't really say why.

No reason, I guess. I just feel like sharing it around, you know?

Here, have a glass on me.

Christopher Blair

Thanks Sam.

Talk to Paladin

James Taggart

Hey, lad, share a drink with me?

How are they treatin' ye these days?

I 'ave no complaints myself.

Just thinkin' about what to do when I retire next week.

Think I'll get me a small ship and fly around the galaxy.

Of course, it'll put me in hock till the end of time… but I can't think of what I'd rather do.

Talk to Jazz

Zach Colson

Hey Maverick. I hear you've been doing some special work for the Colonel. Can you tell me about?

Christopher Blair

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, Colson.

Zach Colson

Yeah, sure. Got to keep it secret, I know.

Maybe some time when Paladin's not around you'll fill me in?

James Taggart

If the man says he doesn't know what you're talking about, he doesn't know. Leave him be, boy.

Zach Colson

Oh, so you're a part of it too Taggart. I'm beginning to get the picture.

James Taggart

Don't mind him, lad. He's too full of curiosity and mischief to make real trouble.

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Cairo System

Peter Halcyon

All right, pilots, settle down. Lets get to work. Today we have been assigned basic patrol missions.

You listen as the Colonel completes the mission assignments

Peter Halcyon

…and Omega wing is Maverick and Maniac.

It's a normal three point patrol.

Hit Nav 1 carefully, we've have reports of Kilrathi activity in this sector.

Nav 2 should be clear, but stay alert, intel's been wrong before.

Nav 3 is a last quick stop, then come back to the 'Claw. Any questions?

Christopher Blair

Yes sir, we are to engage the enemy, correct?

Peter Halcyon

Yes, unless the odds are against you. Use your best judgment. No more questions? Very well, then.. Dismissed.

Mission Debriefing

Mission Debriefing. Cairo System

Peter Halcyon

I'm glad you both made it back. I have some bad news for you, pilots.

We lost Bossman today. He and Angel were ambushed by several wings of Kilrathi Imperial Guard. They didn't have a chance.

Christopher Blair

Is Angel okay, sir?

Peter Halcyon

She wasn't badly hurt. They'll let her out of sickbay in a few hours.

We'll postpone the funeral until she and Boss's wife can attend.

And I just finished a vidlink conversation with the TCS Austin.

We'll be keeping Jazz and Doomsday for a while.

All right, Maverick, lets hear your report.

Christopher Blair

Yes, sir. Nav 1 was full of Kilrathi. I lost count, but they weren't much trouble.

There was a Fralthi and two Jalthi at Nav 2. The Fralthi's history, sir.

Finally, at Nav 3, there were several wings of medium fighters.

Once they were taken care of it was back to the Tiger's Claw.

Peter Halcyon

Good job. Let's go over the flight recorder data.

The recorder shows you credited with killing 15, Maverick.

Maniac didn't take down any enemy ships.

Well, get some rest pilots. Oh, and drop by my office later Maverick.

After Debriefing

Comm Officer

Colonel, Jump point is 8 seconds away… 5, 4, 3, 2.

The Tiger's Claw jumps into the Anchorage system.
