T'lan Meth System, Mission 4a (420.0)

Briefing Intro: (Movie Filename -- 0930.WVE)

CAG: Thanks to new reconn... Thanks to new reconnaissance data, Tactical is now certain that a large enemy fleet is massing in this system. Undoubtedly, their prime target will be the Midway. Reports indicate the enemy hasn't spotted us yet, so we may have the element of surprise on our side. Let's get to work.
ICIS Text: The SWACS scans have confirmed a large alien fleet stationed in this area. Due to their heavy patrols in the area, they are aware of the Midway's presence; however, much of this fleet is still focused upon the blockade of E'loy. While the enemy attention is divided, the Midway will attempt a strike upon a carrier element of this fleet. Prior to the main strike, a team led by Major Marshall will be sent on a diversionary strike against an inbound alien supply convoy in an attempt to draw fighter cover away from our targets. Your Alpha Wing will lead the actual assault, with support from Charlie, Delta, and Echo wings. Proceed through NAV 1 and 2, allowing the diversion time to take effect. At NAV 3, engage your primary targets: an alien carrier and its cruiser escort. You may engage other targets at your discretion, but the primary targets MUST be destroyed to prevent a retaliatory strike on the Midway. When your mission is completed, return to the Midway.

Briefing Exit: (Movie Filename -- 0940.WVE)

CAG: Now, I suspect what I'm about to say will rub some of you the wrong way. The squadron you are rendezvousing with is from one of Feudal Planets of Kilrathi Empire manned by the T'Agg A'Bren Clan.
Maniac: Oh great! Now were flying with the Cult of Sivar! Why don't we dig up Tolwyn, while we're at it?!
Hawk: Sir, you can't be serious! Those religious zealots have been raiding our colonies ever since we nuked Kilrah. They'd love to get another crack at us.
CAG: That will be quite enough out of you both! Unless you'd like to do your belly aching in the brig. Look around you. We don't have the luxury of picking and choosing our allies right now. We either work with the Cats or we die. Is that understood? Do it! Dismissed.

[Fly Mission, T'lan Meth 4a - Kilrathi Rendezvous]

[Midway]
<Stiletto> Now that we're all dressed up, let's go find us a party.
<Maestro> And me without my music discs...
<Hawk> I wouldn't exactly call that stuff 'music', kid.

[Nav 1]
<Maestro> Hewwo, puddy tats.
<Kilrathi> Greetings, apes. It is a good day to die, is it not?
<Hawk> You can do all the dyin' you want, furball.
<Kilrathi> RAAARRRR!
<Midway>Midway to strike force: Bravo Wing reports engagement with enemy fighters. You are clear to proceed.

[Nav 2]
<Kilrathi> We shall take the carrier in the name of vengance!
<Kilrathi> Do not get in the way, apes!
<Hawk> If I decide to 'get in the way' you won't be around long enough to stop me.
<Stiletto> How nice! Guess that leaves the cruiser for you, sugar. We'll keep your six clear once the shootin' starts.
<Maestro> Yeah, we'll be right behind ya'... SUGAR.

[Win]
<Kilrathi> Well fought, humans. Perhaps we shall honor you in battle one day.

[Lose]
<Kilrathi> Have you no true warriors left in your race, ape? You fight no better than newborn cubs.
