FLIGHT DECK - FLASH -> B1FDKFH
MAJOR JACE DILLON - - CALLSIGN: FLASH - - CLIMBS OUT OF THE EXCALIBUR’S COCKPIT. FLASH IS A THIN, ARROGANT 25-YEAR OLD NOT LONG OUT OF FLIGHT ACADEMY. HIS FATHER, A HIGH-RANKING CONFED OFFICIAL, SECURED HIM A POSITION AS TEST PILOT TO KEEP HIM OUT OF THE FRAY OF THE REAL WAR.
IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE WHO’VE GATHERED TO WELCOME HIM AND GET A LOOK AT THE NEW SHIP, HE PAUSES TO WIPE A SPECK OFF THE EXCALIBUR’S FUSELAGE.
HE THEN APPROACHES BLAIR WITH A SALUTE THAT IS CURT AND PERFUNCTORY.
FLASHM
Colonel. Which way to the bridge? Confed’s expecting my tech debrief.
BLAIR
I caught some of the incoming radio, Major. How long have you carried the Flash handle?
FLASH
-> (smile)
Since my first day at Academy. I don’t think you should ever apologize for sporting a little style.
HE NOTICES THAT SOME OF THE CREW MEMBERS - - LEAD BY RACHEL - - ARE MOVING IN ON THE EXCALIBUR TO GET A CLOSER LOOK.
FLASH
-> (calling out)
That baby’s still classified, folks

You think you could keep your people at bay awhile, Colonel . . . ?

RACHEL
That Excalibur’s one helluva ship. But just like I figured - - there’s a real dick on the other end of the leash.
BLAIR
What, he’s not letting you do your job.
RACHEL
These loving hands, I can tweak anything and make
it work just a little better. -> *
BLAIR
-> (nods)
Of course, and a little grease never hurt.
RACHEL
Maybe he doesn’t need me now, but there’s gonna come a time when he’s flying a paste-and-glue special. And then see what kind of servicing he gets.
-> (beat; sly smile)
I'd bet you’d like to take her for a shakedown spin . . .
-> (on Blair’s look)
You know, you swing by at the right time . . . you just might find the key in the ignition . . .
BLAIR CONSIDERS THE POSSIBILITIES . . .
Rachel’s morale UP:
BLAIR

It’s been a long time since I’ve done any joyriding.
RACHEL
Well, then you owe it to yourself. Rachel’s morale DOWN:
BLAIR
(shakes his head)
I’m not interested in stepping *
on the Major’s toes.
RACHEL
(cooly)
Well, forget I ever mentioned it then.

I wish they wouldn’t send me these Academy hot shots.

BLAIR STORMS IN, HOPPING MAD. HE RUSHES TO THE BUNK AND KICKS IT -- HARD!
BLAIR
What the hell do you think you’re doing?!
FLASH
-> (standing)
I’m waking up now, “sir.”
BLAIR
Didn’t you hear that scramble alarm?
FLASH
Yeah. It woke me up. For a minute.
BLAIR
We were under attack, for God’s sakes.
FLASH
My talents won’t be wasted on your little skirmishes.
BLAIR LOOKS READY TO DECK FLASH AGAIN.
BLAIR
Yeah, well people were dying out there, you son-of-a-bitch.
FLASH
It’s a war. People die all the time.
BLAIR JUST STARES AT FLASH FOR A BEAT, INCREDULOUS.
BLAIR
You’ve never seen it, have you?
FLASH
Seen what?
BLAIR
Never seen pilots - - people you know - - getting fried in their own cockpit.
FLASH
-> (defensive)
I do my part for Confed.
BLAIR SHAKES HIS HEAD
BLAIR
I don’t think I’ve ever meet anyone as . . . frightened as you.
FLASH
You think what you want. I’ve got my orders.
BLAIR
Yeah, and you’ll find refuge in that just as long as you can.

MANIAC

FLINT
As usual, Maniac, your solution to the problem is brainless.
MANIAC
Me? Any chance I get, I’m up in the air. I mean, they’re gonna have to pry my dead carcass out of the cockpit.
FLINT
Oh, stop banging your chest. You’re gonna bruise it. The Colonel will deal with him - -
MANIAC
The Colonel is a spineless - -
BLAIR
-> (interrupting)
I wouldn’t finish that sentence if I were you, “Major.”
FLINT STIFLES A LAUGH AS MANIAC REDDENS AND TRIES TO DEFLECT THE SITUATION:
MANIAC
Uh, we were just speculatin’ on when the new pilot might pull his own weight.
Group morale UP:
BLAIR
Well, one way or another, we’ll find out what Flash is made of . . . I guarantee you that.
BLAIR WALKS AWAY

Briefing - Tamayo 2
BRIEFING B2 - EISEN -> B2BRFEI
BLAIR ENTERS AND EISEN WAVES HIM OVER.
EISEN
Come in, Colonel. We have to move quickly on this.
HE POINTS TO THE MAP TABLE.
EISEN (V.O.)
The only reason we aren’t under attack right now is because the Kilrathi have bigger fish to fry. They’ve targeted Tamayo II - - their transports are already moving there. If you and your wing can cut through the fighter cover, we might have a shot at destroying those transports. We’re going to need a lot of fire power and we’re going to need it fast. Scramble everybody. I want those flight decks emptied.
BLAIR SALUTES
BLAIR
Right away, sir.
No wingman choice - - all must fly.

A GOOD PORTION OF THE CREW IS PRESENT AS BLAIR COME IN FOR A LANDING. HE GETS OUT OF THE COCKPIT.
CONDITION: IF Blair took Excalibur.
FLASH STORMS UP TO BLAIR IN A RAGE.
FLASH
You are way out-of-line, Colonel.
BLAIR
Somebody had to step up to the plate, Mister.
FLASH
You think Confed wants some old man risking their state-of-the-art test vehicles? CONDITION: IF Blair did NOT take Excalibur.
FLASH CALMLY STEPS AROUND THE EXCALIBUR, MAKING PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS OF THE FUSELAGE. BLAIR APPROACHES, FURIOUS.
BLAIR
Hey, what’s your lame excuse this time?
FLASH
Get off my case, old man. You’d trade places with me in a second - - that is, if Confed had a senior citizen circuit for test pilots.
BLAIR
Where do you learn to spew all this crap? Doesn’t the Academy teach kids to fly anymore?
FLASH
Listen, oldtimer, I don’t have to take this from you. I think it’s time to teach you a lesson. Meet me at the simulator at 09:00 and we’ll see who knows how to fly.
Flash’s morale UP:
Group morale DOWN:
BLAIR
Combat simulator . . . doesn’t prove anything. The only thing that really counts is out there, against the Kilrathi.
FLASH
Then I guess we’ll never know, will we Colonel?
HE SWAGGERS OFF.
Go to D1. Flash’s morale DOWN:
Group morale UP:
BLAIR
On one condition. If you lose - - you put in for a transfer to combat pilot status . . . aboard the Victory.
FLASH LAUGHS BUT IT SOUNDS A BIT HOLLOW.
FLASH
If that’ll make you feel better. I’d *
ask you for a shoe shine if I win - - but I like my shoes too much.
