Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass

Shotglass

Hi there, Maverick.

How are things today? Doing well, I hope.

I've been in a good mood all day. Can't really say why.

No reason, I guess. I just feel like sharing it around, you know?

Here, have a glass on me.

Christopher Blair

Thanks Sam.

Talk to Paladin

James Taggart

Hey, lad, share a drink with me?

How are they treatin' ye these days?

I 'ave no complaints myself.

Just thinkin' about what to do when I retire next week.

Think I'll get me a small ship and fly around the galaxy.

Of course, it'll put me in hock till the end of time… but I can't think of what I'd rather do.

Talk to Jazz

Zach Colson

Hey Maverick. I hear you've been doing some special work for the Colonel. Can you tell me about?

Christopher Blair

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, Colson.

Zach Colson

Yeah, sure. Got to keep it secret, I know.

Maybe some time when Paladin's not around you'll fill me in?

James Taggart

If the man says he doesn't know what you're talking about, he doesn't know. Leave him be, boy.

Zach Colson

Oh, so you're a part of it too Taggart. I'm beginning to get the picture.

James Taggart

Don't mind him, lad. He's too full of curiosity and mischief to make real trouble.

Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Cairo System

Peter Halcyon

All right, pilots, settle down. Lets get to work. Today we have been assigned basic patrol missions.

You listen as the Colonel completes the mission assignments

Peter Halcyon

…and Omega wing is Maverick and Maniac.

It's a normal three point patrol.

Hit Nav 1 carefully, we've have reports of Kilrathi activity in this sector.

Nav 2 should be clear, but stay alert, intel's been wrong before.

Nav 3 is a last quick stop, then come back to the 'Claw. Any questions?

Christopher Blair

Yes sir, we are to engage the enemy, correct?

Peter Halcyon

Yes, unless the odds are against you. Use your best judgment. No more questions? Very well, then.. Dismissed.

Peter Halcyon I'm glad you both made it back. I have some bad news for you, pilots.	Peter Halcyon I'm glad you made it back alive Lt. Christopher Blair I lost Maniac sir, I just couldn’t… Peter Halcyon I know Maverick, it hurts every time a pilot dies, but that’s the reality of war. More bad news, Maverick.	Peter Halcyon I’m glad you made it back alive Lt. More bad news, Maverick.

Peter Halcyon We lost Bossman today. He and Angel were ambushed by several wings of Kilrathi Imperial Guard. They didn't have a chance. Christopher Blair Is Angel okay, sir? Peter Halcyon She wasn't badly hurt. They'll let her out of sickbay in a few hours. We'll postpone the funeral until she and Boss's wife can attend. And I just finished a vidlink conference with the TCS Austin. We'll be keeping Jazz and Doomsday for a while. All right, Maverick, lets hear your report. Christopher Blair Yes, sir. Nav 1 was full of Kilrathi. I lost count, but they weren't much trouble.

Fralthi Destroyed	Fralthi Survived
Christopher Blair There was a Fralthi and two Jalthi at Nav 2. The Fralthi's history, sir.	Christopher Blair When we got to Nav 2 there was a Fralthi and two Jalthi. The Fralthi got away.

Christopher Blair Finally, at Nav 3, there were several wings of medium fighters. Once they were taken care of it was back to the Tiger's Claw.

Fralthi Destroyed	Fralthi Survived

Peter Halcyon Let's go over the flight recorder data.

Maverick's Kills	Maverick Struck Out

Maniac's Kills	Maniac Struck Out

Colonel Halcyon's Office Peter Halcyon Armstrong, come in I need to speak with you. Christopher Blair Yes, sir? Peter Halcyon We're having to change some pilot assignments, effective immediately you'll be reassigned. I need you in Star-Slayer squadron, flying a Raptor-class heavy fighter. Christopher Blair I see, sir. I'll do my best. Peter Halcyon Good, I'm glad to hear it. That's all then Lt. Dismissed.

Communications Officer Colonel, Jump point is 8 seconds away… 5, 4, 3, 2. The Tiger's Claw jumps into the Anchorage system.

Medal Earnt

Maniac's Funeral

Hangar Deck Peter Halcyon For excellence in combat with the Kilrathi enemy, the Terran Confederation is proud to present the Silver Star. Your courage is an example to the Confederation's finest defenders. Well done, Maverick, congratulations. Christopher Blair Thank you, sir!

Flight Deck Peter Halcyon We are gathered here to pay our last respects to a good friend. And one of the Terran Confederation's boldest defenders. 2nd Lt. Todd Marshall was one of our youngest pilots, and perhaps the most mis-understood member of our squadron. Although he often spoke of his desire to die in combat, his death is truly our loss. Farewell Maniac. Christopher Blair Goodbye Maniac, I guess you got what you deserved.
