G'mar System, Mission 1 (530.4)

Briefing Intro: Generic

ICIS Text: Long-range sensors have detected an alien comm relay station in this system which is capable of broadcasting as far as the Kilrah System. Although the Midway is temporarily scrambling alien transmissions to the comm array, this station must be rendered inoperable to protect our advances into alien-held territory. Due to the importance of the target, the aliens have established a significant defensive presence in this system. In order to reduce these forces, we will attempt to lure them into an ambush by feigning an attack on the relay station. Your Alpha Wing will lead an assault force of Shrike bombers to the comm station, where you will attempt to destroy its transmitter arrays. Bravo and Charlie wings will protect your flanks. When the enemies counter-attack, you will be recalled to the Midway -- here at the T'lan Meth jump point. The carrier TCS Eisen has taken up a position beyond the jump point, and will send members of the Wolf Pack Squadron through the jump, closing the trap. When all enemies are destroyed, you will be cleared for landing.

{Plays automatically}

Casey: You look like you've seen a ghost.
Maniac: Two of 'em: Vanguard and Cantrell. Two rookies I took out today. They pulled a frontal in front of a bunch of Fighter Clusters. Boom! Gone.
Casey: It happens.
Maniac: It's never happened to me. All right? I charge a hundred Clusters. I never get a scratch.
Casey: And you can't see why your luck didn't cover those rookies. It's not about luck, Major. It's about the one thing that matters.
Maniac: And that is?
Casey: That you did the best you could to help those rookies survive. Which is all a good squadron commander can ever do.
Maniac: If that's supposed to make me feel better... it does. Almost.
Casey: Good. Low bridge!
Anderson: [loudspeaker] All pilots to the briefing room! Again, all pilots to the briefing room!
Maniac: Casey. I, ah...
Casey: You're welcome.
