>> PLAYBACK
Patrol Entry CA1138RM - 90th Schwarzekatzen
Time - 2300 Hours
Location: Classified
Callsign: Angel


The feed starts with a lengthy exterior shot of Kara's Rhineland Wraith in empty space, flying in formation with four others as it slowly begins to drift off to the right. The leading ship hails her over the comms and a female voice speaks.

Irene Schmidt(Faith): Everything okay there sister? Any more to the right and you'll clip Jackal's wing.

Kara Schmidt(Angel): (yawn) Don't worry Faith, I'm good. How much longer till we return?

Irene Schmidt(Faith): About an hour or so. Not falling asleep are we?

Kara Schmidt(Angel): Not a chance.

Edwin Karlsson(Steely): How much you ladies want to bet Jackal's sleeping on the autopilot?

Irene Schmidt(Faith): Don't even think about it Steely.

The camera follows Steely's Wraith as it fires a shot across Jackal's nose. The wing's comms is filled with curses and laughter, lighting up the dull atmosphere. The light chatter turns to panic as multiple fighters and a combat converted prison ship drop out of cloak and one of the Wraiths is torn apart by weapon fire.

Hans Roberts(Jackal): W-what the hell?!

Irene Schmidt(Faith): Schwarzkatzen! Break off, engage those fighters!

The camera pivots and turns as Kara attempts to dodge weapon fire from all angles. Ship parts fly past the camera as she manages to take down a good amount enemy fighters in the process. The rest of the wing hold their own quite well for awhile despite being heavily outnumbered.

Kara Schmidt(Angel): Damn it! We can't shake these guys! We're wide open here!

Hans Roberts(Jackal): Shield's down! Engi---

Jackal's flaming Wraith streaks past the camera as Kara narrowly avoids colliding with it.

Irene Schmidt(Faith): Just a few more fighters left! We can outrun that prison ship!

A volley of missiles is fired from the prison ship, the camera makes a hard right bank just in time to see Steely's Wraith explode. The remaining enemy fighters fill the camera's view, unleashing a torrent of weapons fire before the feed goes dead.
