[Fly Mission, H'rekkah 2 - Black Widow Rescue]

[Midway Navpoint] {Upon Takeoff}
<Midway> Lieutenant Casey, several Panthers from the Black Widow Squadron have been ambushed while on patrol. Your Alpha Wing will rendezvous with the Black Widows at NAV 1. Your orders are to escort the survivors back to the Midway. The NAV route we've mapped out should help you avoid hostile encounters.
<Stiletto> Let's go find us a Maniac, shall we?
<Midway> Sensors indicate that an unknown source is scanning all comm frequencies. Keep your ears open.

[Nav 1] {Upon Arrival}
<Maniac> About time you guys showed up.
<Stiletto> Having problems, Maniac?
<Maniac> Never thought I'd be glad to see a wing o' plebes.
<Stiletto> Ready when you are, ace.
[Bug sends "Unable to translate" message]
<Stiletto> Is everybody picking up their transmissions?
<Maestro> I'm getting them. Whatever they're saying, though, my ship's computer doesn't recognize it.
[More unknown bug chatter]
<Maestro> I'm going to open a voice link to Finley. Maybe she'll recognize this stuff.
[Yet more chatter]
<Maestro> Finley, are you reading this?
<Midway (Finley)> I've got you, Maestro, though I can't tell you for sure what it is we're hearing. I'll run some analysis on it.

[Nav 1] {Nav Point Cleared}
<Stiletto> Any time you're ready, Lieutenant.

[Nav 2] {Upon Arrival} <Midway (Finley)> Folks, our computer has no idea who - or what - is talking to you out there. Be careful.
<Stiletto> Let's go home.

[Midway Navpoint] {Upon Return}
<Stiletto> Think you can manage it from here, Maniac?
<Maniac> Black Widow Lead to Midway: where do you want these stray Tigersharks we picked up?

Maestro: Casey. Casey! Come here. You have got to try this stuff.
Casey: What is it?
Maestro: Boom-Boom!
Casey: Boom-Boom? Uh oh. That's disgusting!
Maestro: Well, have another one then. So, how's our little friend?
Casey: Who? Oh, Maniac. Oh man, you should have seen the look on his face. I thought he was going to lose it right there in the cockpit.
Finley: That's funny, you sound just like him.
Casey: Excuse me?
Finley: Like Maniac. I'm still amazed at how fast you hotshots get full of adrenaline and testosterone. You just set a new record, Stud.
Maestro: Sounds like a good mix to me.
Finley: Wrong! It's a dangerous mix.
Maestro: Casey, duty calls. I'm sure you and Mrs. Freeze here will be very happy together. Ciao!
Casey: Sorry, maybe we got off to a bad start. I'm Casey.
Finley: Science Officer Aurora Finley. I read your report.
Casey: Oh? What's a science officer doing reading a classified mission report?
Finley: Well, ask yourself this question, Lieutenant: If you're not flying against Cats out there, what then? That's where I come in.
Casey: Well, maybe they're renegades or something.
Finley: Hmm, think so? Right now, we're analyzing all the data we can to find out. Look, Casey, you seem like a nice guy. I'd just hate to see you crash and burn, that's all.

If you win H'rekkah 2, go to H'rekka 3a.
