The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong

Preflight Conversations

Talk to Shotglass:

Hey, Maverick. Heard the latest?
I haven't heard anything, either. We've been sitting here for hours an' hours....
Just waiting. It's starting to make me a little crazy. Some of the pilots, too.
I keep tellin' the pilots not to worry, the Colonel knows what he's doing...
... but what if he doesn't?

Talk to Angel:

Hello, Maverick. I heard you saw plenty of action today.
The Kilrathi are using very smart tactics against us. I've been recalculating our odds of surviving this mission.
Paladin:
I wish you wouldn't sound so admirin' of 'em, lassie.
Angel:
We may be their enemies, but we cannot ignore their strengths.
They know this area of space. They are smart and tenacious.
Paladin:
Aye, but the longer we're here, the better we know this part of space.
And we're smart and tenacious, too. And we're becomin' just like them. Just like the Kilrathi....
Angel:
But we will survive, Taggart, and that is what matters.

Talk to Paladin:

Pull up a seat, lad. Have you heard the latest from Tactical?
They've finished their computer analysis of the Kilrathi secret weapon.
There's nothing we can do to deflect that damned energy blaster---
---once they've aimed it at a planet-based colony, but at least---
---we'll nae have to worry about them using it against our ships.
Tactical says that the weapon would be useless against fighters or a starship like the Tiger's Claw.
That we'd be out-of-range before the cats finished priming it.
That's a wee bit reassuring, isn't it?
Those lads in Tactical are impressive, wi' how they figure these things out on their comp-sims.
Of course, their guesses aren't always correct....
Like that time they told us the new Dralthi ships wouldn't have enough range to attack---
---the Epsilon Prima system. We lost five pilots because of that mistake.
Tactical's usually very accurate...
...but I'd nae wager your life on that, laddie.
