Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Lieutenant. Maniac, listen up. Alright, we're going into a black hole here, people. Not the jamming kind, like back on Peleus, but an informational one. Now, FT957 has sent out a distress signal, and we don't know why. We're to sweep the area of hostiles and try and suss out the situation if we can.

So you're gonna want to put me and my boys down on the surface then?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes. I want you there because I'll be landing too.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: What?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You people didn't see that woman's face down there Something awful's happened and I want to find out firsthand. Now I want two wingmen to escort Dekker's shuttle and return here once we enter a landing pattern. All right? That's it then. Now, let's be careful out there.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: You got it!

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Roger that!

briefing m1: pilots/dekker - chart room -M1 blair Listen up. We're going into a black hole here -- not the jamming kind we encountered back in Peleus, but an informational one. FT957 has sent out a distress signal, but we don't know why. We're going to sweep the area of hostiles and suss out the situation if we can.

dekker You wanna put me and my boys down on the surface?

blair Yes. I'll want you there because I'm landing too. (on everyone's look) You people didn't see that woman's face. Something awful's happened down there and I want to find out firsthand. I want two wingmen to escort Dekker's shuttle and then return here once we enter a landing pattern. (beat) That's it then. Let's be careful out there.


PRODUCTION NOTE: If desired, there could possibly be more Red-Shirts on the flight roster due to success in the first part of Mission L4B.

LOADOUT NOTE: IF Blair gave the green light to Pliers in Sceneÿ-M1, a Black Lance fighter awaits him.
