T'lan Meth System, Mission 10 (428.0)

Briefing Intro: Generic Opening #4

ICIS Text: The aliens have pulled a significant portion of their fleet from the assault on E'loy and are attempting to pin the Midway against this asteroid belt. Already, scanners detect multiple wings of inbound bogies closing on our position at attack speed. Although we have received word that Confed is sending reinforcements, it is doubtful that they will reach the Midway in time. We will be scrambling all available fighters to deal with this threat. Each Wing will be responsible for a specific intercept zone, destroying all enemy fighters as they approach the Midway. Your Alpha Wing's objective is to destroy all enemy forces present at NAV 1. When your mission is completed, return to the Midway.

{If you *saved* the Kilrathi with Hawk}

CAG: Lieutenant, just a moment. We've been getting comms from a Cat on E'Loy. He says he's well acquainted with you and your 'hairless' clan.
Casey: Yeah, Hawk and I saved his ass.
CAG: Well, in between insults, I get the distinct impression he'd like to return the favor.
Casey: That would be... strange.
CAG: No doubt. It's a strange world, Lieutenant.

CAG: Lieutenant, may I have a word with you? The Kilrathi on E'Loy haven't responded to our comms since your mission to rescue N'Sharr failed. Any idea why? The Kilrathi can be... difficult. Good luck out there. Thank you, Sir.

CAG: Lieutenant, just a moment. J'Ron, the Cat Clan leader on E'Loy, has contacted us. Even though you failed to save N'Sharr's squadron, he seems aware you did your best.
Casey: Well, I'm glad to hear that. I guess.
CAG: He seems to want to help. We may need all the help we can get out there. Good luck.
Casey: Thank you, Sir.

Stiletto: They may have to get you a bigger helmet.
Casey: Why?
Stiletto: For that inflated head of yours.
Casey: Hey!

CAG: Lieutenant Casey, we now know why the Cats refused to help us out there.
Casey: Sir?
Wilford:Mr. Casey. We just intercepted a Cat communique. Do you deny that you and Hawk attacked a wing of their pilots?
Casey: No, sir.
Wilford: Well, thanks to your bloodlust we are now alone in this. Why? WHY? We're under attack! If I didn't need every available pilot, I would throw you out an airlock! Now get to your ship, Mister! I'll deal with you later.
