Scene: Admiral Dweebnar and Captain Andrew stand over a briefing room table.
Admiral Dweebnar: Good news Captain, you won't be flying a sortie against the Roids today.
Captain Andrew: That is good news. Commander Medley will be very happy. So what are we doing?
Admiral Dweebnar: Oubliette base is running short of vital supplies. You are to make a run up there and delivery them; then return.
Captain Andrew: Um...sir, no offense but...this sounds like a milk run. Why not have a drone or a Junior pilot do it?
Admiral Dweebnar: I would give you bullshit about R&R but we both know that's not something we can afford with our losses so I'll get straight to the point. There's a renegade human out there called Bregsaw. He's killing our people and robbing them. A bandit pure and simple.
Captain Andrew: So he is real?
Admiral Dweebnar: Very. And we can't afford a fighter escort; so you will need to dodge his fire both ways. Can you do that?
Captain Andrew (saluting) Aye sir.
Admiral Dweebnar: God speed Captain. This is an important one.
Captain Andrew: Don't worry sir. I won't let you down.
Amidral Dweebnar (nodding): Dismissed.
