Transcript
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Ah! Colonel, shall we cut to the chase?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Wouldn't have it any other way, sir.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Good. Some of these newbies rattle on about 'what if this happens' and 'what if that happens.' This is the braincase, I tell 'em: make good use of it. Now, we're here in the Hellespont because pirates have been disrupting the trade routes in and out of the system. As yet, we don't know what their motivations are. Some of their attacks appear to be the usual attempts to confiscate supplies and weapons, yet others are simply senseless violent acts of terror. Now, I want you and a wingman to escort this supply transport to the jump point, ensuring its safe passage out of the system, then fly to this nav point where a communications array is under construction. Now, upon your arrival, you'll relieve the patrols currently providing security in the area. Understood?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes, sir. Oh, and Captain, it's great to be flying for you again.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: The feeling's mutual.
