Briefing[]

Robert: [grins] Ah, Jamie. Thanks so much for coming.

Jamie: [smiles] Don't mention it. Now then, princess... What is it? Another dicey mission only we can handle?

Lilia: Not this time. It's about the armored fighting walker we're going to use to bombard the enemy's Kotor Stronghold. Amelia?

Amelia: Yes, ma'am! Here are your orders. Delta 1st Element will be dispatched immediately. You are to escort the AFW transport to its final destination. That is all.

Rick: [displeased] An escort mission? Those are tough. Don't like 'em much.

Lilia: [smiles] That transport is much bigger and moves a lot slower than your jets, doesn't it.

Rick: You got that right.

Lilia: [turns serious] That's what makes it such an easy target. It'll be reduced to scrap metal in three minutes flat if no one was guarding it.

Alex: True. And we can't have that, can we?

Lilia: Exactly. We've got to hit that stronghold hard or they won't even bat an eye. This bombardment is essential for our overall strategy.

Jamie: [angry] C'mon, Rick, give it up already. [calms down] They need us, right? Why not just suck it up and do like the little lady says?

Alex: [smiles] That's right. Otherwise they'll give your plane to someone who can get the job done.

Rick: [distressed] No way! That'll never happen! [reluctantly] All right, I get it. You win--I'll go!

Robert: Then it's settled! 1st Element, get out there and escort that AFW transport. [smiles] We're counting on you, Jamie.

Jamie: [delightfully] Don't sweat it!

Mission[]

Amelia: All Anaconda units. Your mission is to escort the Archelon. See the Archelon safely to the landing zone.

Archelon: This is Archelon. Setting course for landing zone. Request escort.

Amelia: Nomad copies. All Anaconda units, fan out and provide escort please.

Alex: (if playing as Jamie) That's a monster, all right. Didn't know they had this kind of thing!

Jamie: (if playing as Alex) Why do they waste their money building this junk?

Archelon Pilot: Passing waypoint A.

Leon: Good timing. Take out that big mother in front of you! Engage!

Jamie: (if not being played as) Looks like we got a troublemaker...

Leon: Huh? Is that you, old man?

Rick: (if not being played as) That was rude! Lead may be old but he's twice the pilot you are!

Alex: (if not being played as) Is the OCC full of ignorant jerks like you?

Leon: Ha! You should be more worried about getting in your last prayers!

Archelon Pilot: Passing waypoint B. Approaching target location.

Amelia: Archelon, this is Nomad. We've got orders from HQ to change the drop point.

Archelon Pilot: This is Archelon. What was that?

Amelia: Units there have not checked in, and are believed destroyed.

Archelon Pilot: That's bad...! How should I proceed?

Amelia: Okay. Please divert from waypoint D to E.

Archelon Pilot: Waypoint E, right? E...? Hey, hang on!

Amelia: Yes?

Archelon Pilot: Course from this posit to waypoint E goes right over an OCC outpost.

Amelia: True, but it is the shortest route.

Archelon Pilot: But...

Amelia: Remember, we're here to cover you.

Archelon Pilot: Okay! Archelon copies! Setting course to waypoint E.

Leon: Hulk's out of the way. Now's my chance! I can set something up for Hulk and Storm! Get them taken down! That'd be the end of Merv.

Amelia: Radar signal! Code red! Bandits!

[if Leon is not shot down by this point, the following three lines will be said]

Leon: Backup?! I don't remember calling for any backup!

Orc: Lizard's orders.

Leon: What?! The Commander's...?

Archelon Pilot: Divert to waypoint E. We'll drop the AFW there.

Archelon: Roger. Course set for waypoint E.

Archelon Pilot: (if the Archelon approaches the batteries if they have not been destroyed yet) Confirm bandit outpost ahead. Taking ack-ack fire. Assist!

Rick: (if playing as Jamie and the Archelon Pilot's line above is said) Nonstop, roger. Not so keen on ground strikes, but... I should be able to distract 'em, at least.

Alex: (if playing as Rick and the Archelon Pilot's line above is said) This is Rush Hour. I'm on it!

Jamie: (if playing as Alex and the Archelon Pilot's line above is said) Shogun, here. Gotcha! Better not be bossin' an old-timer about now!

Archelon Pilot: (if none of the batteries are destroyed by the time the Archelon flies over them) Almost over the base! Gonna be an easy target!

Archelon Pilot: (if some of the batteries have been destroyed by the time the Archelon flies over them) Almost over the base! We could use a little more help here...

Archelon Pilot: (if all of the batteries have been destroyed by the time the Archelon flies over them) Almost over the base. Thanks for the air support!

Amelia: Incoming second enemy wave! Intercept.

[if Leon is not shot down by this point, the following three lines will be said]

Leon: More reinforcements?

Orc: We're here under orders from Lizard.

Leon: Thanks, but doesn't Lizard have faith in me?

[if Jamie is being played as, the following four lines will be said]

Rick: Reinforcements? Man, those slowpokes are too boring to fight... Oh, man, gimme a break...

Alex: More, huh? Well, guess we got some more work to do!

Rick: Yeah, but doesn't it ever tire you out?

Alex: Yeah, sure.

[if Rick is being played as, the following four lines will be said]

Jamie: More of 'em? Who said the OCC didn't have any soldiers left...

Amelia: Well, we are at a disadvantage in terms of pure firepower...

Jamie: That's not what I'm talkin' about, lady!

Amelia: Oh! Er...

[if Alex is being played as, the following two lines will be said]

Rick: Reinforcements? Man, those slowpokes are too boring to fight... Oh, man, gimme a break...

Jamie: Cut the chatter, sonny! We've got a job to do.

Leon: (if shot down) Argh! Aaaargh! Eject!

[when the Archelon takes hits, any of the following eight lines will potentially be said]

Archelon Copilot: Left engine damaged! We're losing power!

Archelon Copilot: Left engine's been hit! Losing power!

Archelon Copilot: Right engine damaged! We're losing power!

Archelon Copilot: Right engine's been hit! Losing power!

Archelon Pilot: Mayday! Mayday! We're taking damage! Take those guys out!

Archelon Pilot: We're taking fire. Requesting emergency assistance.

Amelia: Taking enemy fire. Return to the guard target immediately.

Amelia: The guard target is under attack! Do something!

Amelia: (if the player moves too far away from the Archelon) You're too far away from the guard target! Return immediately!

[if the Archelon's left wing gets destroyed by the three Su-27SMK "Flanker B"s, the following two lines will be said]

Archelon Copilot: Main wing's blown! Can't maintain course!

Archelon Pilot: We're gonna get the AFW to the target point, whatever it takes!

Archelon Pilot: (if the Archelon's second bridge is destroyed) Bridge 2, come in! Bridge 2, come in!

[if the Archelon takes too much damage, the mission will fail and the following two lines will be said]

Archelon Copilot: It's impossible! All instruments are reading red!

Archelon Pilot: Dammit! All crew bail out! Nomad, Archelon cannot remain airborne. Repeat, Archelon cannot remain airborne and is going down!

[Note: Displayed from a very late ending of the mission failure]

Archelon Point: Just take out the flak quick!

Archelon Pilot: (if the Archelon reaches the drop point) This is Archelon. We have arrived at the drop point. Commencing AFW separation sequence.

Leon: (if not shot down at this point) Bollocks! Useless slackers! It's pointless now! Disengage!

[mission ends]

[post-mission cutscene begins when the player exits the replay]

Archelon Pilot: This is Archelon. Approaching the drop point. Commencing AFW separation sequence. Commencing AFW separation sequence. Right, prepare for descent. Fix altitude and course. No mistakes.

Archelon Copilot: Roger. Entering fixed approach. Passing initial point... now!

Archelon Pilot: Commencing descent. AFW, status?

[several tiles holding the AFW open up]

AFW: Ready. Whenever you are. [the AFW is dropped from the Archelon]

Archelon Copilot: 3... 2... 1... Purge! [the AFW lowers its legs and ignites landing thrusters in its feet as it falls and then lands]

Archelon Pilot: What is the AFW status?!

Archelon Copilot: ...Touchdown. No damage to report.

AFW: We're gonna come back heroes!

[post-mission cutscene ends with a shot of the AFW after it raises a bit]

Debriefing[]

[in meeting room]

Jamie: [exhausted] Oh boy... What a drag!

Rick: [exhausted] Nothing but slowpokes out there. I'm tired.

Alex: [exhausted] Yeah, a lot happened today.

Jamie: [cheers up] But it's all over now! Let's kick back and have a drink before our next mission! What do you say?

Alex: [smiles] You're already talking about drinking? Man, you don't waste any time, do you?

Rick: [angry] Jamie, this war is heating up. I'm not so sure if it's the best time to party...

Jamie: [angry] Oh, come on! It's precisely because things are heating up that I'm trying to lighten you guys up! And besides, it's tradition!

Alex: [delightfully] Really? Then I guess Jamie has a point...

Rick: [delightfully] Yes, he may be right. There is something to be said for tradition, especially in our line of work.

Jamie: [delightfully] Exactly! Then, you're all with me?

Lilia: [offscreen] What is this talk of tradition?

Rick: [nervous] Li...Li...Lilia?!

Jamie: [nervous] Well, hello there, princess! How're you feeling?

Lilia: [appears onscreen and is angry] Thanks to you, my blood pressure has gone through the roof! Just what on Earth are you three talking about!?

Jamie: Calm down, princess! We can explain. We have a duty to protect the proud traditions of the Delta Squadron!

Lilia: Proud traditions?! All you want to do is get drunk and act like animals!

Jamie: Aww, you don't have to put it that way, princess! It's all we have to look forward to. Can't you just let it slide?

Lilia: I won't be allowing anything to slide! The assault on the Kotor stronghold draws near. This is no time for raucousness!

Jamie: For goodness' sake, please, princess...

Lilia: Absolutely, positively, no! I wouldn't allow such behavior even if I could! Now, stay on your toes, gentlemen! I mean it! [leaves]

Jamie: [angry] Geez! What a pain... Well, guess the fun's over. Time to "stay on our toes...."

Rick: [sadly] Yes, sir...

Alex: [turns neutral] Uh, how about a nice walk, guys?

[transitions to O.C.C. side in their hangar]

Leon: Oh boy, that was too much.

Giuseppe: [offscreen] Leon!

Leon: [angry] Uh oh! Look who's here...

Giuseppe: [appears onscreen and is annoyed] You couldn't control my reinforcements!!

Leon: [nervous] I'm terribly sorry! They caught us off guard!

Giuseppe: [angry] This is not a time that we can't[sic] afford to be making mistakes! We stand at a critical juncture!

Leon: (Hah! You're the one at a god damn critical juncture!) My actions are inexcusable! I promise to make up for any loss in our credibility!

Giuseppe: [calms down] Hmph. Well, I'm counting on you. I'm off to battle, then.

Leon: [calms down and smiles] Right...now?

Giuseppe: [smiles and stands in a jojo-like pose] If I can defeat the enemy that eluded you, I can make up for your failure.

Leon: [turns serious] Yes sir! Best of luck in battle. My prayers are with you. [Giuseppe leaves] He's too worked up to think rationally. Maybe this is a good time to back off...

[debriefing ends]
