Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass:

Hey, Maverick. Heard the latest?

I haven't heard anything, either. We've been sitting here for hours an' hours....

Just waiting. It's starting to make me a little crazy. Some of the pilots, too.

I keep tellin' the pilots not to worry, the Colonel knows what he's doing...

... but what if he doesn't?

Talk to Angel:

Hello, Maverick. I heard you saw plenty of action today.

The Kilrathi are using very smart tactics against us. I've been recalculating our odds of surviving this mission.

Paladin:

I wish you wouldn't sound so admirin' of 'em, lassie.

Angel:

We may be their enemies, but we cannot ignore their strengths.

They know this area of space. They are smart and tenacious.

Paladin:

Aye, but the longer we're here, the better we know this part of space.

And we're smart and tenacious, too. And we're becomin' just like them. Just like the Kilrathi....

Angel:

But we will survive, Taggart, and that is what matters.

Talk to Paladin:

Pull up a seat, lad. Have you heard the latest from Tactical?

They've finished their computer analysis of the Kilrathi secret weapon.

There's nothing we can do to deflect that damned energy blaster---

---once they've aimed it at a planet-based colony, but at least---

---we'll nae have to worry about them using it against our ships.

Tactical says that the weapon would be useless against fighters or a starship like the Tiger's Claw.

That we'd be out-of-range before the cats finished priming it.

That's a wee bit reassuring, isn't it?

Those lads in Tactical are impressive, wi' how they figure these things out on their comp-sims.

Of course, their guesses aren't always correct....

Like that time they told us the new Dralthi ships wouldn't have enough range to attack---

---the Epsilon Prima system. We lost five pilots because of that mistake.

Tactical's usually very accurate...

...but I'd nae wager your life on that, laddie.
