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
