Valkyrie Squadron vs Gold Wing

[sovereign]

So, Dieter poked the RM about faction right 7, and it occurred to me that Terrance's LN guardian "Christopher Phelps" is pretty much only used for training. Dieter said something about making an event out of it, and I got thinking- if it's already used for training, why not go steal it? Special ops is what the Valkyrie Squadron is made for, and stealing a fighter for tactical training/analysis while at the same time attempting to possibly rob Liberty of one of its more brilliant tactical minds is right up their alley. Terrance reckons that me and Marisol can probably beat him if we team him, but to make the event not totally scripted a battle outside that could be going on to determine something else- like whether or not Phelps ends up on Vierlande or stays in Liberty.

So, here's the plan.

Valkyrie Squadron, including myself and Marisol, go into Liberty. We locate Phelps, who just so happens to be doing some training exercise with the Gold Wing at the time. Valkyrie Squadron (sans myself and Marisol) engage the Gold Wing, while myself and Marisol square off against Phelps. Once we get him to 20% hull or summat, we "disable" his ship and get it back to Rheinland somehow. I suggested making use of our Junker friend Evangeline McDowell, but we could just as easily say we have tow cables on our ships. Special ops and all that. Whoever's winning on the outer battle between the Valkyries and Gold Wing gets to keep his escape pod.

As for a time, about an hour from the time of this posting (it's currently a little after 5 AM GMT, so 6 AM GMT is when I have in mind) would be able to get most of the Valkyrie Squadron online. However, that's cuz we're all insomniacs... so if an earlier time is needed, it would probably be doable.

Thoughts?


EDIT: Yes I see that the time is bad now. Please suggest when you can do something like this.
