Casey do you think that having a famous father is gonna cut you any slack around here you are dead wrong we all due respect I'm here on my own merits let's hope so because around here you live or die by your flight stats understood I did get the highest scores of any cadet at the Academy and the most AmeriCorps dingly your record listen this is a make-or-break shakedown cruise for us I don't have time to play babysitter got it now get yourselves registered on the system and still this swag before the keg sees it you're enough trouble as it is I think she liked me yeah I think the lieutenant liked me stiletto all right check out the rest of this bad boy great the cab is waiting mr.

do it on KC hey I'm all heard I call me zero since you're new here let me show you around pilot country you're currently in the rec room home to Malkin tents drunkards in trouble sounds like my kind of people over there's your self-serve bar there's your flight simulator and of course the infamous kill board come on isn't much much more lockers here inside find your flight suit and your gear when we place oh yeah all neat and shiny just like us come and of course what state-of-the-art carrier would be complete without Big Brother from the flight log computer you can log into the main system just like in flight school only now it's all for real and we want you get yourself acquainted come find me in the briefing room when you're ready behold the briefing room take a look around you Casey my man billions the conflict credits at work this is the nerve center of our work here on this ship little map table ancient history this is the isis system brand-new it's tied to all the computers on the ship it'll tell us where we're going and what we're doing according to the brainiacs upstairs oh sorry the tactical intelligence and science divisions anyway it all gets distilled down to the screens on our desks it's easy point-and-click you know we know to the world if it works that is Casey meet Dallas a resident voice of Doom and general naysayer probably writing another letter to Senator tag it as we speak not so zero it's very appropriate name I am in fact tracking my investments five more years at this rate and I can retire a wealthy man yeah you see Dallas does it for the cash it's not just a job and all that you think everything is a conspiracy don't you cash is what it's all about how much money do you think con feds save by building a standalone carrier force namely this be a meth of a ship God who cares this tub gets hold what then they put all their eggs into one little basket with no backup doesn't matter Conrad's got their greedy little fingers into everything it's a few credits here and there well don't tell that the Commodore Blair after all the Midway was his idea no not Blair again four years of the Academy all we hear about is Blair this and Blair that Saviour of the Confederation most decorated pilot blah blah blah what is the guy like 4,000 years old God I think I've heard just about everything except that he was on board the Midway have we met lieutenant Casey Lance our second lieutenant comrade number c2 635 for Casey huh so you're the Iceman's kid I heard you were coming on board and I flew with your father it's good pilot always followed orders know when to keep his big mouth shut [Music] goodbye career don't feel so bad I hear there's always openings in the diplomatic corps come on let's get you a drink with those flames out [Music] I don't know good first day at work ever yeah I've been on board less than an hour and I've already managed to piss off just about every senior officer in sight including Commodore Blair stop right there gentlemen this here is Diamondback seating take a look around most of these pilots are still kids they're the two green doctor the captain who's not talking to Blair ships that's the CAG commander Air Group geez as hard as they come hey yeah we've met and it wasn't pretty all right let's get started we have a change of plans as of now the Midway is on full alert status at Oh 400 hours we received what appeared to be a kilrathi distress call tactical has tried to verify this message fragment but so far whoever sent it has stopped transmitting since we're the closest vessel HQ has ordered us to assess the situation attention captain on the deck as you work sorry to interrupt commander a live feed has just come in from our s wax Patrol that's jumped ahead to the her echo system this is a need to know for all squadrons open channel three one probably last three four wings of Fighters but didn't get them all before they got hit nothing's moving now could have been two maybe three carrier groups computer reads for all they do class seems to have missed most of last whatever I'm completely obliterated the whole damn fleet as no contact can be established with any kilrathi ships on recommendation of Colonel Decker I've decided that as of now this is a Marine operation commander all right before we begin lieutenant Casey lieutenant Talbert has recommended you lead the diamondbacks based on your exemplary academy record this is highly highly unusual lieutenant this is not a training exercise don't disappoint her pilots now check your Isis for mission details and assignments [Music] before I dismiss you I believe Commodore Blair has a few words Commodore as you may know the Midway is not yet fully operational and for many of you this will be your first mission outside the Academy keep in mind you're confident watch your butts out there good luck people dismissed hey thanks for the opportunity I won't much down forget it lieutenant just make sure I don't have to come and save your sorry ass is it me yes it's black timeyou Okies decided to join us let's engage your autopilot and get on with it looks like the cat's had one hell of a party too bad we missed it okay we've talked to the cruiser all the wing watch your backs [Music] the wing the serene one beam use various utterly dead cats [Music] heads up leaves we got company Oh at last money can attack that's got her [Music] thanks for the escort ladies ice playing lieutenant you're cleared to land [Music] damn there goes the guidance system again I mean they're working on the double and tell Emil they have hanger Rams number two and seven back on line we got real problems here price doesn't anything work around here well what's your damage flag boy did you trash your fighter or you just lost yeah I mean no I I mean I I just landed I don't they teach you numbnuts anything in school when you land you check your stats there then you head to the chute which leads to decontaminate ake directions see ya what are you still standing here for what do you want [Music] [Applause] would you sit down waiting like Paulie just stop this was not part of the deal they're actually shooting out there we're talking live ammo I don't want to get your panties in a bind or anything but when you joined on with confident anyone actually tell you that getting shot at was part of the deal yeah well we're really not sure who they are yet I heard one of Decker's men said that the dead cats on board or more than just blown away more like cut up in little pieces cut up dissected almost ritually science divisions working on breaking the code on that black box that Decker's men brought in they asked Rachel to help that she's got her hands full bring the shift back online what tell him how long that'll take zero said something about it the cats being cut up certainty truth to that absolute truth cut up into little cat chunks Decker's men also found a single kilrathi word scrawled in blood on the deck even they were creeped out by it well what what word and I kilrathi ain't so good math Rach that's fact what's that mean supposed to mean night or something like that darkness actually boy evil [Music] [Music] lieutenant Casey several Panthers women fighters 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 this is indicate that an unknown source is scanning all complement seats and keep your ears open I never thought I'd be glad to see a wink employees [Music] one time you guys showed up [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] for sure what it is [Music] we Patrol [Music] what would it lead to Midway where do you want these straight tiger sharks we picked up mission accomplished too bad for plebe let's go alpha one requesting landing clearance besides I out there look Casey I been thinking about the way that I snapped at you the first time that we met and just been hell around here and I I'm Rachel Coriolis good news chief cracked the code the Karachi lock the mornings walk back that's my cue maybe I'll see you round Casey Casey you have got to try this stuff what is it boom-boom-boom-boom well have another one then so how's our little friend who Oh May Nia you should have seen the look on his face I thought he was gonna lose it right there in the cockpit that's funny you sound just like him excuse me like maniac I'm still amazed at how fast you hotshots get full of adrenaline and testosterone you just set a new record stud sounds like a good mix to me wrong it's a dangerous mix Casey duty calls I'm sure you and mrs. freeze here will be very happy together ciao sorry maybe we got off to a bad start I'm Casey science officer Aurora Finley I read your report Oh what's a science officer doing reading a classified mission report ask yourself this question lieutenant if you're not flying against cats out there what then that's right come in maybe there are renegades or something 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 just hate to see you crash and burn that's all all pilots to your ships this is not a drill all pilots to your ships [Music] eliminate all hostiles stay alert watch your tailpipes people all you have to do is keep along the way until he leaves the jump point [Music] [Music] yes [Music] me [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] me [Music] [Music] [Music] is beyond resistance Midway tall wings we are preparing to jump break off engagement and return to the carrier repeat and break and return [Music] [Music] you okay I would be a whole lot better if I had a one way to get home we were in a fine mess look Dallas no I look fly boy and I will talk very slowly the kilrathi were tied up on the futile planets they've got problems of their own the border worlds were dead quiet well with the black Lance out of the picture things have been pretty cozy around here for quite some time and the last thing I expected was actually having to fight I am so hosed we joined conflict to do a job there are no guarantees that's supposed to make me feel better no look I don't know what we're dealing with here but whatever it is it's gonna have to be stopped and we're the only ones out this far so all we have to rely on is each other that's it now until we get word back to confid it's gonna have to be with you for me me for you 100% got it our date the office Oh everything's fine why well it's just I never seen anybody drink like that before and live well you want to see it again all right what's wrong you want to know what's wrong everything science division hasn't got a clue what we're up against all we've got are a bunch of unknown contacts some dead cats and a cryptic story about the end of the world I've never dealt with me anywhere end of the world kill Rossi's nathrach oh yeah I heard about that zero said it means darkness not just darkness KC evil I looked it up in the archives there's an ancient kilrathi prophecy about the end of the world and the nathrach figures prominently didn't that happen with the destruction of Kilroy well not to get too superstitious on you flyboy but according to the kilrathi that was just the beginning the prophecy doesn't mean just Armageddon like on earth so then the end of the world means the end of all things everything well did you tell the captain about this he wants answers not ghost stories to make matters worse we've been trying to send a distress signal to the nearest con fed Starbase it's only a few systems away but our link through the jump has been cut well that would mean that the relay station in the harrassed system was out of commission good guess bright eyes so tell me something what's a lieutenant commander doing down here in pilot country but I guess adrenaline and testosterone have always appealed to me more than brass you know a very smart person once told me that that is a dangerous combination hey Casey good luck hey frosty better percent 150 percent go kick some alien ass [Music] [Music] [Music] save yourself [Music] [Music] [Music] why now [Music] torpedo want bombed and away [Music] temper temper why now [Music] that ought to slow down some like the capital is going to pull the plug but you save the day [Music] Dhalsim naked that happens he's right Dallas's number was that and [Music] we are gathered here today to pay our last respects to our honored dead those who have fallen to protect that which we hold dear we mourn their loss and bow that they have not died in vain they now return to the stars for which they came may those stars serve to remind us of their sacrifice and of our duty ashes to ashes dust to dust we lost some good pilots out there today good people welcome to the wonderful world of armed aggression so then I come up on a six rack just like this food is flat over would she give it a rest man yeah good well I'd like to Hut yeah but then I rest too long one of you might accidentally catch up to me on the kill board you'd like that one just how about some good old-fashioned respect for the dead sir a little plead friend hey I sit on my butt for too long just cuz some cherry can't hack it and gets killed [Music] John come in heard about your little struggle today you know I've known maniac for a long time he's very good hiding his emotions behind a lot of hot air but hearts basically the right place you can't let him get to you you here to arrest me sir me no no I don't work with the CAG I think she's prepared to chalk this one up to severe stress and anxiety would you try it again though don't thank me all at once I'm sorry sir it's just there I thought all this would be different what this everything you know when I was on the flightline flying with everyone else taking chances risks doesn't seem to matter that much then it became clear we fly with death every day it's what we do fight we struggle even lose friends that began clear to me when I lost someone that I really cared for when was that about 4000 years ago what you do is important out there Casey it is damn important it's important to these men to the ship to our home don't let anyone stand in the way of what you need to do you sound almost envious maybe I am Casey maybe I can a man come in quietly with his drink I didn't see they do not disturb sign sorry what was it like what was what like being the ice man's son just had a free ride straight through the Academy you're a free ride not to the Academy not anywhere get off the case see your old man was a great war hero yeah he was a hero all right one of the most decorated pilots of the Confederation so good they named a flight maneuver after him only problem is he died when I was just a kid I think my mother got his last medal when I was in diapers no having a hero for a father was no help to me if anything I spent my career trying to live up to the reputation of a man I never knew every time I fly I feel like I'm flying against him yeah you're probably better off my father was alive but you never would have known it it was a cultural anthropologist then confident L got a hold of him put him to work in the karate war spent years studying the kilrathi their history their technology to get an edge he used to say and then he couldn't even talk about it it's funny I want to be disliking well maybe you are so what do you think we're up against here zero what about the nath Rach Wow my father was the real expert I only heard the word Nath rack once or twice before and it was in relation to some ancient Terran biblical text and a race called Nephilim thought it was a fairy tale really I can remember being so scared I had to sleep with the light on for days the hell doesn't matter anyway you know where I like you and I we both fly to outrun our fathers shadows [Music] please come in and get seated all right then let's go of your mission objectives the communication relay station in this system is our only hope of warning confid HQ about our current situation your alpha wing will escort a Marine landing craft to this station which is located just outside the perimeter of the harass asteroid field there the LC will dock and a shop team led by Colonel Decker will secure the station enemy forces in the area are moderate to strong and some of the Midway's fighter complement has begun quick hit and run strikes to keep them away from the relay station lieutenant Casey this is a critical mission for us after going over the roster I've decided your wingman will be me I'll be Casey's wingman I'm not sure this is such a good idea you need a seasoned pilot out there now these kids are good but I'm the best you've got [Music] mr. Casey you'll recap your mission specs with your new wingman the rest of you are dismissed good luck to you all congratulations sir don't congratulate me yet lieutenant it's been years since I flew my last mission are you kidding me fine besides it's not every day that a guy gets to fly with a legend you know Casey the problem with being a legend is they always expect you to win papi you'll have to win this time sir you just have to try to keep up [Music] take good care of Casey for us Blair he's still moving around the gills wait are you sure he doesn't bring his training oils [Music] to be see if marine engineers ganado money away from we have any samurai [Music] we're talking now [Music] brain one is docked elf away we're going in and watch our backs [Music] there we need you down here on the station I think you should see this yourself okay see you wait out here in case we get more hustles [Music] well now we know why the Midway couldn't transmit a distress come to the relay station it looks like a slaughterhouse down here [Music] because the ewr online looks like we've got friendly involved this is the Redeemer after losing contact with the Midway we thought you might be to add anywhere and what's happened to them the Midway is on the run reveal your ships here and get back to them as soon as possible [Music] [Music] we can get decision in line and ours a lot of luck we get any letters JC I'll be in the air in three minutes can I get there [Music] there's something else down we were launched felicitations primary required some kind of an alien shift we scan the human life sign on board oh god you good player [Music] bad news boy enemy inbound no no not a word from the Midway our alien buddies are spamming all the key frequencies and the short focused transmitters can't step over their signal this will stop there the main really says but it's still a number if we can't send a wake-up call to confed you better keep the bad boys busy until we get this baby on line all right do it [Music] [Music] let's hear you [ __ ] Wingo Ali on the way hang in there hope you could hold until we get there ace [Music] creatures what you look at that [Music] I do believe that's a kill for the maniac [Music] that's the last of a base hey where's your wingman anyhow player didn't go AWOL today seems we had some sort of close encounter major Blair's been abducted the boys are done securing the station knowing the transmitters online now fill you in back at the Midway let's get it live folks Roger Roger that sure alpha one requesting landing clearance this is truly a tragic day for the Confederation mr. Casey mr. Decker your courage will not be forgotten [Music] I thought you should know the captain is recommended you'd be transferred to the Black Widow squadron and promoted to first lieutenant I don't deserve it sir I'm sorry lieutenant I said I don't deserve it and why is that exactly Blair no Blair knew the risks your team takes that same risk every time you go out there there was nothing else he could have done nothing thanks to you and Blair the relay transmitter has been repaired and we've seen 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 it's either that or medical that's an order damn you Christopher Blair you go just taking all those right there that's for you Katniss beauty super right ahead enjoy why why obviously you haven't heard we've been promoted to the highest coveted who cares if she's probably on the pack ice somewhere she's not our boss anymore ready to Rachel yes good to see you are you would you like a drink I would love one here you go thank you join the celebration well two good friends two very good friends yes mr. do you mind if I borrow Casey for a little while enjoy drink Hey you don't get it I'm a great guy you know I'm the best pilot we can fit people look up to me so tell me this why is it I can never get the girl I mean some guys have all the luck or is it just me it's you chief I'm sorry to interrupt the CAG would like your analysis of this bio data that came in from tool on meth just when things were getting interesting all right I'm on it all right but I did yeah from the probes that we launched into the nearby systems in our sector there are our eyes and our ears right now well can't help your sweet these guys you should stay with your friends tonight could be another time I'm proud of you flyboy you know what here bottles on me I'll see you later thanks misty mess this morning yeah I wasn't hungry you weren't in the mood to eat that's not the same it's not being hungry given point Colonel Blair you're still blaming yourself for what happened it's tearing you up inside I can see it you have a nightmares about him yet sit down lieutenant you know in one of the first missions the last war I lost three wingman including two bunk mates I was ready to sign for a psych discharge I was a wreck couldn't sleep but couldn't eat I just kept seeing their faces every time I close my eyes and this major took me aside he said they're dead and you're not get used to it Daisy for him to say yeah but not so easy for him to sign on as my wingman what she did next mission out he's got my six I'm not the groove yet he had to kill a clan of cats until I got myself together who was it Blair your father my father now get some sleep get some need forget about where your good pilot and you're still alive you should try to stay that way is that what my father would have said very well let's get started tactical has compiled a new set of mission data for us let's review them our limited intelligence has revealed that a clinically clinically Lloyd in the tool on meth system is being blockaded by enemy forces but an unknown source is jamming our sensors and preventing a full assessment of the situation you are to locate and identify the broadcast source so that it can be recovered for examination oh and one more thing major marshal present major you are now in command of the Black Widow squadron I expect your Bravo wing to provide backup for alpha yes sir you're dismissed [Music] was a problem major after all these years to finally have my own school hundred to be in control yeah to be in command yeah to be the one they string up when your squadron screws the pooch on a mission yeah yeah hey wait [Music] [Music] hey special I can finally before you do [Music] [Music] Midway to alpha wing the kags ordered you back return to base on the double I can't with always let's take it out [Music] rough mission Casey yeah say all that won't get past you it happens besides I picked up the bully anyway just dropped it off at science Domitian's laughs it seems pretty excited coming yeah I think I got it well I'm not I'll get the next one suit yourself see you in pilot country [Music] somebody made your happy feet over there betaf life got cut up pretty good out there one of them didn't come back and when we know I was life on the edge mr. squadron commander I heard you lost when your adoring fans you know I've got a good pilot m.i.a and I come back to this does the SAR have a line on your pilot no he ejected into the asteroids there's no sign of him and the CAG the kags pulled my boys off rotation to get a straight eight that includes me so if I can't even go and look for my old guy it gets better word is the aliens are scooping up every pilot they can get their hands on from your effort I bet they're not serving him milk and cookies that smell what just sent me some stinks [Music] I'll tell you what it is Major it's the plea that's going out into the asteroids to save your wingman lieutenant Casey I'm allowing this against my better judgment that boy a chance I just don't want to lose you in the process you'll escort the SAR shuttle to nav one there you'll help locate and rescue the pilot who ejected from his damaged fighter when you find him return to Midway good hunting [Music] we're gonna 90 signal fun every week standby [Music] we found him sir [Music] [Music] [Music] we got in sir let's get the hell out of here [Music] it is like flying is I'm sure he's glad to be home looks like you're getting quite a reputation around here never a moment's rest she's here I'm on my way [Music] [Music] you're up late I thought our pilots needed their beauty sleep how long have you been up Oh 72 hours maybe you can't keep doing that to yourself sooner or later it's gonna affect your work not to mention your health this what makes you burn the midnight oil now that we found a way to cut through the alien jamming we finally made contact with the cats on Eloy and and what I found was very strange seems that after the capital city of Eloy was attacked and destroyed most of the kilrathi disappeared disappeared you mean were killed no I mean disappeared apparently the aliens took a great many prisoners thousands the few who remained sent me a data bundle on the alien craft I'm processing that now but but what as soon as I uploaded the data I lost all contact with the kilrathi all the systems checked out they're just not there it's almost as if if the Eloi had been consumed I came back herati prophecy what you want
