I know you've always wanted to take a shot at me, here's your chance. Our guns' power generators have been temporarily altered to fire non-lethal blasts. Your HUD will show virtual damage on both ships. First one with 100% damage is the loser. So we can finally see who's better with a flight-stick. What do you say?
	PLAYERA10000.wav	Blair	You're on, pal.
	PLAYERA10001.wav	Blair	No time for that, Maniac, let's head for Orlando.
	A1MANIAC0001.wav	Maniac	Let's see if you still got it, Farmer Blair!
	A1MANIAC0002.wav	Maniac	I knew you'd never want to face the truth, Farmer Blair. Holy shit! Switching to battle mode. I just hope the auto-reconfig is fast enough.
	A1MANIAC0003.wav	Maniac	So you got lucky again. �Just like that run on Kilrah. See you at the Orlando Depot. Holy shit! Switching to battle mode! I just hope the auto-reconfig is fast enough!
	A1MANIAC0004.wav	Maniac	Guess you been down on the farm too long, Colonel. See ya at the Orlando depot. Holy shit! Switching to battlemode! I just hope the autoreconfig is fast enough!
	A1MANIAC0005.wav	Maniac	Whoo! Nice work, old timer. Let's head to Orlando. We got a shuttle to catch.
	A1MANIAC0006.wav	Maniac	Son of a bitch! 3,000 people aboard that crate and they just...just...Oh, and if that wasn't enough, we're in the middle of nowhere flying on fumes. Wait, Nav Computer's picked up Bluepoint Station. Oh, I'm not sure we can make it. We got no choice. Listen, downloading Nav Data to you. Nothing personal, Colonel, but so far I haven't much enjoyed this reunion.
	IF0180.mp4	Blue Point Traffic Controller	Welcome to Bluepoint, gentlemen.
	BLUEPNT0001.wav	Bluepoint	Unauthorized vessel, clearance denied.

Once we're inside Blair's cockpit --

MANIAC SHOWS UP ON THE COMM SCREEN WITH THE FOLLOWING
CHALLENGE:

MANIAC (COMM SCREEN)

We're scheduled to hop a shuttle

at the Orlando depot to make the

jump to Sol.

(beat)

It's a long ride -- so just to

make it interesting, I got

another surprise for you,

Colonel: I had our ships rigged

for virtual dogfight mode. I

know you've always wanted to take

a shot at me, so here's your

chance. Our guns' power

generators have been temporarily

altered to fire non-lethal

blasts; our missiles are locked

down. Your HUD will show

'virtual' damage on both our

ships. First one with 100%

damage is the loser. So we can

finally see who's better with a

flight-stick. Whaddya say?...

Blair must DECIDE whether or not to accept this

challenge by answering "AFFIRMATIVE" OR

"NEGATIVE" on the comm channel.

IF he answers AFFIRMATIVE, this mission continues with: MANIAC (COMM) Let's see if you still got it, 'Farmer' Blair. Go to Blair dogfights with Maniac below.

IF he answers NEGATIVE: MANIAC (COMM) (laughs) I knew you'd never want to face the truth, 'Farmer' Blai-- Go directly to Blair and Maniac are suddenly attacked below.
