Preflight Conversations

Talk to SHOTGLASS

Maverick, , how's it going?

So here we are, in Kurasawa. Kilrathi call it Warach Tha, they say.

Empire's s'posed to have several bases on an' 'round the fourth planet...

...so I guess you boys'll be seein' some serious action soon.

Still, we're not the first Terran ship here...

I heard the Kilrathi in system are already half beat.

Talk to ANGEL

Allo, Maverick. You have a moment, no?

The Colonel has directed our crew chiefs to prepare our Rapiers for battle.

I had hoped we would have flown them more before now. C'est la vie.

Should you get the chance, let me know how they fly. It is tres important.

Au revoir, Maverick.

Talk to MANIAC

Maverick, am I glad to see you.

I'm going insane listening to Angel talk about fuel-to-acceleration ratios.

Heard that we're about to raid some fuzzball bases. That'd be great!

I haven't shot at anything in a week...

...and I'm starting to get restless.

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing.Kurasawa System, 06:00 hours, 2654.281.

Peter Halcyon

All right, boys and girls. Let's get to work.

First, I want to congratulate you all for your efforts at Dakota.

Our successes there were crucial to recent developments in the war effort.

The Kilrathi advance has been halted...

...and now the Confederation is on the offensive.

Now we're moving on the Kilrathi bases in the Kurasawa System.

These bases are vital to Kilrathi command and communication in the sector.

The Empire is currently trying to ferry troops and supplies to these bases...

...in a frantic attempt to defend them.

I'm sending my best pilots,in my best fighters,to head off these supplies.

The commander assigns several wings,led by Iceman, Hunter, and other aces. Your assignment comes last...

Peter Halcyon

Theta is especially vital, so I'm sending you, Maverick, with Bossman as your wing.

Computer, display Theta Wing...

We've detected several Kilrathi fighters circling two nearby jump points.

One Dorkir-class transport has already jumped in here, at Nav 1a.

You'll intercept and destroy it, then move on to Nav 2...

...where another squadron of Kilrathi fighters awaits an incoming 'sport.

When you've taken care of any 'sports that appear at Nav 2...

...return to the Tiger's Claw via Nav 1b, in case there are any late arrivals.

Questions?

Kien Chen

Yes, Colonel. Do we have any intelligence regarding the contents of the 'sports?

Peter Halcyon

Nothing definite, Major...

...but that first Dorkir is especially well guarded.

It must be something -- or someone -- the hairballs don't want to lose.

If that's all the questions,then let's get into space.

Squadron dismissed.

Mission Debriefing

Mission Debriefing. 15:00 hours, 2654.281.

Peter Halcyon

Welcome back, Major. Let's have your report.

Christopher Blair

Yes sir. We nailed the Dorkir at Nav 1a.

We got another 'sport at Nav 2.

We took out one more at Nav 1b, on the way back in.

Peter Halcyon

We've determined that the first Dorkir was a command staff ship, Maverick...

Blasting that one should cripple their chain of command. Good job.

I've read the flight log of your engagements, Major.

You took out 7 of the fuzzballs, Maverick...

and Bossman got 7.

I'll go over your report in detail later.

You did well out there, Maverick.

That's all. Dismissed.
