Chuck stepped on the turbolift and said. "Deck 17". When the turbolift started, he hit his commbadge, =/="All
fighter pilots, report to the briefing room. All fighter crews, prepare for launch."=/=
Once he arrived at Deck 17, he walked off the turbolift and entered the Pilot's Briefing Room. Chuck looked over the pilots in the room, and said "We have a mission."
Now that he had their attention, "The ShadowHawks are going to fly a recon mission into the nebula. We're going to fly into the nebula for a recon patrol. We'll fly in three flights of two. If we encounter hostile forces, the two closest flights will engage the hostile force while the third flight will get clear of the nebula to call in reinforcements. Once the third flight has had time to get clear, the first two flights will disengage and fall back to the nearest rally point. We will have three rally points. The Banshees will be at rally point Alpha, The Phantoms will be at rally point Beta, and the Nightwolves will be at rally point Gamma. Assuming the hostile force pursues the Shadowhawks, all the fighters will converge on that rally point and engage the hostile force. Any questions?"
When there were none, he finished, "We launch in five minutes, good luck out there."
