Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Good. Oh, great.

ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: Colonel, I'm going to take you away from your missions list. Now, we believe we've discovered the enemy's main supply route. Now, since the Circean government is planning a new offensive as we speak, it'll do a lot of good if you can shut down this supply line now. Here's the nav-map.

MAJOR TODD "MANAIC" MARSHALL: Right through a nebula!

ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: Now, that's why we haven't been able to find it 'til now. Convoys have been passing through there like clockwork. It's time to cut it off. Chop it into little pieces, Colonel. Oh, one other thing. We're picking up some very odd red-shift signals from a small artificial satellite circling the sixth planet. Now, we'd like to pluck this thing out of its orbit -- take a closer look at it. Good luck.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Who wants to tractor in that satellite?

2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: I'll volunteer for that one, sir.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Any other takers? Alright, Catscratch, looks like you get the milk run. Let's go, people.

Shooting Script

A Wing Commander IV shooting script has been digitized from the collection of the University of Texas at Austin. A digital version (extracted below) was posted to Origin's Wing Commander IV website in 1996.

briefing k3: pilots/dekker/wilford-remote - chart room -k3 wilford comes up live on the wall screen.

wilford (wall screen) Colonel, I'm going to take you away from your missions list. We believe we've discovered the enemy's main supply route. Since the Circean government is planning a new offensive as we speak, it'll do a lot of good if you can shut down this supply line now. Here's the nav map...

Maniac (whines) Jeez. Right through a nebula.

wilford (v.o.) That's why we haven't been able to find it til now. Convoys have been passing through there like clockwork.

Blair So it's time to cut it off.

the screen goes blank. Blair looks at his pilots.

Blair Who wants to tractor in that satellite?

Catscratch I'll volunteer for that one, sir.

blair Any other takers?

no one speaks.

Blair Looks like you get the milk run, Catscratch. Let's go, people.

WINGMAN SELECTION NOTE: Blair will be able to pick only one wingman for this mission who will be invulnerable up to a certain point. Also, Catscratch's listing on the flight roster will be labeled "previously assigned."

LOADOUT NOTE: The default ship for this mission will be one with tractoring capabilities. But Blair should, as usual, be able to change that if he wants to.
