MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Here, just put me on the next mission, just put up Maniac.
1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Stop it! The Captain's here.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Major.
1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Sir.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Thank you. This is it, Colonel: I'm shipping out.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Personal delivery?
�CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: I think it's best that way. I haven't been in this man's navy all these years without developing a few contacts in high places. When the boys at Confed see what I've got, they'll realize they have a few rats in the house.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Can you trust them?
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: What choice do I have? They have influence at the Assembly and they're the only way of us stopping the declaration of war.
1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Captain? Trans comm coming in, sir
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Ah, Vice-Admiral Wilford, you know who this is. He'll be the Intrepid's acting Captain in my absence.
ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: How do you do, Colonel? I must say, I've always wanted to meet you. Colonel? You all right?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Oh yes, I'm fine, Admiral... Wilford? Ah, weren't you with Confed, sir?
ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: Forty years of service. Came out to the Border Worlds to retire, but they convinced me to come back to work.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I know the feeling, sir.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: You'll be consulting with Admiral Wilford on mission assignments. He's constantly on the move. We're lucky to have him in our system. By the way Admiral, what happened to that squad of marines you were sending us?
ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: Sidetracked. Operation in the Lennox System. You know how thin our resources are. They'll be there within the hour. Looking forward to working with you, Colonel.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: The Admiral's not much on goodbyes. Time I said mine. I'll talk to you later.
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Who did that?
