Mission Briefing
Mission Briefing. Venice System, 06:00 hours, 2654.287.
- Peter Halcyon
- After extensive reconnaissance of this section of the Venice System...
- ...our patrols have located and identified a number of Kilrathi vessels.
- In our next several missions, we'll be engaging and destroying these ships.
- Our fighters will be working with fighters from the carrier Kyoto...
- ...which has recently joined us in the Venice System.
- Maverick, you're first up with Nu wing.
- I'll keep Hunter on your wing for now.
- You'll be going after a Fralthi with a couple of the Kyoto's fighters.
- Computer, display Nu.
- You'll rendezvous with two Rapiers, Foxtrot Wing, from the Kyoto, here.
- From this point, you'll proceed to Nav 1...
- ...skirting the edge of an asteroid field.
- Then you'll head on to Nav 2, the last reported position of the Fralthi.
- She can't be far from this point, and she's an awfully big bogie.
- You shouldn't have any trouble finding her.
- Questions?
- Ian St. John
- I'd guess a Fralthi'd have a fighter escort, Colonel...
- Peter Halcyon
- She'll be well-guarded. Tactical says to look for Gratha on wide patrol...
- ...and either Salthi or Krant flying close escort.
- Anyone else?
- Chen Kien
- Have we gotten a position on the main Kilrathi base in the system, Colonel?
- Peter Halcyon
- Not yet, Kien, but Tactical's narrowed it down to a few possibilities.
- If that's it, then let's get into space.
- Squadron dismissed.
Mission Debriefing
Mission Debriefing. 09:00 hours, 2654.287.
- Peter Halcyon
- Nicely done, gentlemen.
- Christopher Blair
- Thank you, sir. That Fralthi was a tough--
- Peter Halcyon
- Oh, the Fralthi, that's unimportant compared to what was in your computer.
- Tactical started analyzing your log as soon as you arrived and downloaded.
- That Fralthi was in direct contact with the Kilrathi starbase...
- ...and Tactical can use the intelligence you gathered to find it!
- They'll have her location pinpointed within the hour!
- Ian St. John
- Colonel, that's bloody incredible! When do we go take 'er out?
- Peter Halcyon
- Soon, very soon. For now, though, let's go over your mission report...
- Computer credits you with 9 Kilrathi, Maverick..
- and Hunter gets 4 to boast about.
- That's all. Dismissed.
