TEXAS SYSTEM
- HOUSTON-HUDSON TRADE-LANE CONNECTION

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#FFFFFF]"Navigator to Board Control, we are initiating trade-lane sequence."

[color=#999999]"Copy that navigator, smooth sailing."

"Navigator to Board Control, trade-lane sequence has been disrupted, I repeat trade-lane sequence has been disrupted! We are sitting half-way to our destination, open space, over."

"Uh, navigator, the trade-lane systems are off-line, something hit 'em heard, give us a few minutes to launch the backup generators."

"This is Escort Wing-Leader Epsilon-5, we have detected anomalies closing in fast from the Hudson Side, over."

"Copy that Epsilon-5, dispatching Escort Wings 3 and 4 to check it out."

"Board Control, we are currently sitting on a stand-by mode until the trade-lanes are operational."

"Copy that navigator. Sit tight, those trade-lanes should be up in just a few minutes."

"This is Escort Wing-Leader Epsilon-5, Escort Wings 3 and 4 sitrep, over."

"Escort Wings 3 and 4 requesting sitrep, over."

"This is Escort Wing-Leader Epsilon-5, we have lost contact with Escort Wings 3 and 4."

"Shi*. Captain, do you think it's the MND strike?"

"Impossible. Their eyes were set on LPI-Huntsville, there is no damn way they could have anticipated a transfer of- Oh. My. God."

"Board Control, this is navigator. We are reading five hostiles on radar, do you copy!?"

"We copy, we need sixty more seconds before we can get those trade-lanes operational, you need to hold out."

"Dammit!"

"This is Escort Wing-Leader Epsilon-5, sending out all remaining forces to neutralize the threat, over."

"They will all die, there are too many of them!"

"Damn this was all a setup by the MND, they leaked that intel out to the LSF on purpose!"

"This is Escort Wing-Leader Epsilon-5, allied wings have been shot down, engine systems are reaching critical failure! Mayday! Ma-"

And so he grinned once more...
