The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
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
Mission Briefing
Peter Halcyon
- I hope everyone's been enjoying this trip so far....
- ...because you're going to have to do some real work again.
- We've received reports of a Kilrathi convoy moving through a nearby star system.
- We can't risk anything that could disrupt the treaty conference on the planet---
- ---so you'll patrol and watch for that convoy. And I'll also need some of you---
- ---to escort the Diplomatic Corps ships to Firekka, where they're needed for the conference.
Michael Casey
- What about our downside leave, sir?
Peter Halcyon
- We'll schedule you in shifts for shore leave, so you'll still get your downtime.
- These are your assignments...
- Maverick, you'll be Alpha Wing, with Iceman as your wingman.
- You'll fly a Hornet---a fast, maneuverable ship. Escort the TCS Perez de Cuellar from the Claw to Nav 2...
- From there, the Diplomatic Corps ship will mini-jump to Firekka.

- After the Perez de Cuellar jumps to Firekka, investigate the unknown bogey between Nav 2 and the Tiger's Claw.
Colonel Halcyon assigns the other pilots to their duties.
Peter Halcyon
- Remember, if you run into one or two stray Kilrathi, you should engage the enemy.
- But if you see any sign that the convoy has diverted to this system, return to the Claw immediately.
- And HQ has reported encounters with the Dralthi Mark IIs in the Vega Sector---
- ---Dralthi with mass drivers and better shields. HQ could use some good vidcamera data on these new ships.
- So if you sight any of these new Dralthi, get close and your vidcamera will get that data for us.
- And something else I wanted to mention...
- Hunter did a bolter yesterday, a two-point 'touch and go' landing.
- He managed to snap off one of his ship's laser cannons, break three aerials, and terrify the flight deck crew.
- Pilots, we use the ACLS---our auto landing system---for very good reasons.
- The next hotshot pilot who tries a manual control landing will be scrubbing decks for a week.
- Is that understood?
- All right, pilots. Prepare for launch.
- Dismissed.
