Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass

Shotglass

Hello there, Maverick. What can I get you?

Christopher Blair

The usual Sam, thanks. Anything new going on?

Shotglass

Not really. That offensive is looking pretty definite, but we still don't know where or when.

I know the cats were building a research base there a couple years ago, but who's to say for sure?

If you follow our pattern so far, we've been clearing a sort of path to that system. It fits.

We'll find out for sure soon, I suppose.

Talk to Maniac

Todd Marshall

Hey Maverick! They finally let me out of sick bay!

I was hoping that we'd fly a mission together… but I have to be back in sickbay in another hour.

But I'm sure they'll send me back to active duty soon… and we'll fly a mission together then.

I know how much you always want to be my wingman, Maverick.

And I know that we're going to do something important.

I don't know what it is yet, but I'm sure we'll wipe out a lot of the furballs before they kill us.

Won't that be great? Well I... I guess I'll have just one more drink before I go back to sickbay.

Talk to Angel

Jeannette Devereaux

Allo, Maverick. I've been writing a letter to Bossman's wife. I want her to understand what happened.

Christopher Blair

Angel… it wasn't your fault. You have to understand that.

Jeannette Devereaux

Je comprends, mon ami, but it is (a) very hard truth to face.

I have always thought of myself as different from you and the others…

that if I did not care about anything but myself and perfecting my skills, I could never be hurt, never feel pain or fear.

But I was so very wrong, non? If you would, Maverick, just sit with me for a while.

I think I need your company right now.

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Anchorage System

Peter Halcyon

All right pilots, listen up, we've got a lot to cover.

The Confederation, as you may have heard, is gearing up for a major offensive.

When and where I am not yet authorized to reveal, so bear with me.

We have been assigned escort duty, to get troopships to the vicinity of the offensive.

I know I don't have to tell you how important this is, without those troops the offensive would be lost.

Maverick, you and Doomsday are Alpha wing.

Pick up your Drayman right outside the Claw, then head to Nav 2, via Nav 1.

The Drayman will jump at Nav 2.

We have reports of enemy activity directly between here and Nav 2.

Come back that way and check it out. Any questions?

Christopher Blair

No Sir.

Peter Halcyon

Very well…

You listen as the commander makes the rest of the assignments

Peter Halcyon

Alright pilots, that's it. Go to it and good luck.

Mission Debriefing

Mission Debriefing. Anchorage System

Peter Halcyon

Lt., lets have your report.

Christopher Blair

Yes sir. There were several wings of Kilrathi and Nav1. Mostly Jalthi. They weren't much trouble.

Nav 2 had four Krants, but they were also easy to take care of.

The Drayman jumped out safely, right on time. And there were only 2 Salthi between Nav 2 and the Claw, sir.

Peter Halcyon

Excellent, I did not want to tell you earlier, but, er, that particular Drayman was carrying the Vice-Admiral of the fleet.

Lets go over the flight recorder data. From the flight recorder I see you took out 9 Kilrathi ships.

Doomsday didn't ice any of the enemy ships. Dismissed.
