H'hrass System, Mission 2 (315.2)

Briefing Intro - (Special, on relay station)
Dekker: Bad news, Lieutenant: more enemy inbound, and that's not all. Not a word from the Midway. Our alien buddies are scrambling all the key frequencies, and the short-focus transmitters can't step over their signal. It doesn't stop there: the main relay transmitter's still inoperative. We can't send a wake-up call to Confed. You'd better keep the bad boys busy until we can get this baby on line, all right? Do it!

Takeoff Scene: None

[Relay Station Nav, Upon Takeoff]
<Midway> This is TCS Midway. We've rerouted our comm links and are on the way. Hang in there. Casey, we've launched a wing of Panthers. They're coming to help you out.
<Maniac> Hope you can hold 'em 'til we get there, ace.

[Mission Complete]
<Maniac> Hey, where's your wingman anyhow? Blair didn't go AWOL, did he?
<Dekker> Seems we had some sort of close encounter, Major. Blair's been abducted. Me and the boys are done securing the station, though, and the transmitter's on line. I'll fill you in back at the Midway.
<Midway (CAG)>This is truly a tragic day for the Confederation. Mr. Casey, Mr. Dekker, your courage will not be forgotten.

Landing Scene 2:
(Movie Filename -- 0755.WVE)

CAG: I thought you should know, the Captain has recommended that you be transferred to the Black Widow squadron and promoted to First Lieutenant.
Casey: I don't deserve it, Sir.
CAG: I'm sorry, Lieutenant?
Casey: I said, I don't deserve it.
CAG: And why is that, exactly?
Casey: Blair...
CAG: No, Blair knew the risks. Your team takes that same risk everytime you go out there. There was nothing else you could've done. Nothing. Thanks to you, and Blair, the relay transmitter has been repaired and we've sent a warning to Confed HQ. Now, Mr. Casey, what I want you to do is stow your gear and head to pilot country. You need a break. Its either that or Medical. That's an order. Please. Damn you, Christopher Blair.

Scene - Rec Room
Maestro: Yeah. There you go, just take one of those right there. That's for you, Capp. That's for you, Lisa. Go right ahead. And there you go. Enjoy! We'll just top it off for me. Hey! Casey! There he is, my little boy. Making his mama Maestro so proud.
Casey: Why?
Maestro: Why?! Obviously, you haven't heard. We've been promoted to the highest-coveted Black Widow squadron!
Casey: Yes! Has Stiletto heard?
Maestro: Has Stiletto... Who cares? She's probably on a pack of ice somewhere. She's not our boss anymore!
Casey: Rachel?
Maestro: Rachel. Yes! Hi, good to see you. How are you? Would you like a drink?
Rachel: I would love one.
Maestro: Here you go.
Rachel: Thank you.
Maestro: Join the celebration. Well. To good friends.
Rachel: To very good friends. Maestro, do you mind if I borrow Casey for a little while?
Maestro: Enjoy!
Rachel: Come on.
Maestro: Yeah, this man needs a drink. Hi.
Maniac: You know, I don't get it. I'm a great guy, you know? I'm the best pilot in Confed. People look up to me. So tell me this. Why is it I can never get the girl? I mean, do some guys have all the luck? Or is it just me?
Maestro: It's you.
Hawk: Chief, sorry to interrupt. The CAG would like your analysis of the spy eye data that came in from T'lan Meth.
Rachel: Just when things were getting interesting. All right, I'm on it.
Hawk: All right.
Rachel: Thanks.
Casey: Spy eye data?
Rachel: Yeah, from the probes that we launched into the nearby systems in our sector. They're our eyes and ears right now.
Casey: Can I help?
Rachel: No, you're sweet. Besides, you should stay with your friends tonight. There'll be another time. I'm proud of you, Flyboy.
Maestro: You know what? Here. Bottle's on me. I'll see you later.
Maniac: Thanks!
