Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass

Hey, Maverick! Any news from downside?

I'd heard that the Firekka leaders will sign the treaty in another couple days.

Can you believe it? A new planet is joining the Confederation---

---and here we are, watching 'em create history right in front of us.

Maverick

I'm scheduled for shore leave in a couple days...I should be on the planet for the treaty signing.

Shotglass

Now that's luck for you. I'll be up here, pouring drinks and watching it on the vidlink.

I have to say, though, those Firekka do look real weird. Kinda remind me of a parakeet I had a few years back.

Except MY parakeet wasn't very smart, an' he wasn't six feet tall, either.

Talk to Hunter

Maverick! Join us for a drink, mate!

It's great to have a real break, 'specially after that Operation Thor's Hammer.

I was certain that we wouldn't survive that mission.

I'm glad I was wrong, at least this time.

And now we'll spend a month as Honor Guard for the Confederation Diplomatic Corps.

Yeah, this'll be an easy assignment...playing nursemaid to a bunch of diplomats and aliens.

Maverick

I'm looking forward to seeing the Firekka. I've never met a non-human before.

Hunter

Well, you will soon, mate. They seem like good people...intelligent an' honest, very friendly to strangers.

They're just lucky their planet is so far off the trade routes, or the Kilrathi would've enslaved 'em for sure.

But there's so few jump points into this Sector, we were the first to find them.

Which was real lucky for our new feathered mates, hey?

Talk to Iceman

I challenge you to a game of Eight-Ball

Hunter

No way, I'm not playing with you. You cheat.

Iceman

Oh, come on! I'll spot you three balls.

Hunter

But all I have is five dollars

Iceman

Your five bucks will get you twenty. Rack 'em
