Wedge: "So we send out one squadron an hour or two ahead of each major formation. Pilots skilled at terrain-following flying. They fly beneath the altitude at which lightbounce sensors start to be active and set up in deep cover beneath the projected engagement zone. Because, until they break up to pursue enemies, Cartann squadrons tend to fly in pretty close formations—"
Janson: "So our advance units can fire their missiles up at their squadrons passing overhead. Perhaps taking out multiple fighters per missile in those first few seconds."
Hobbie: "Ooh. I volunteer. I want that. Let me do that. Please."
Wedge: "Have you ever seen behavior like this?"
Tycho: "Only when he really, really needs to run to the refresher. Hobbie, why?"
Hobbie: "Because I am sick of it. I'm sick to death of 'Hello, I'm so-and-so and I've killed this many enemies, and I challenge you, and we bow and go by the rules and say cute things to one another, and isn't it nice that we're all dead now?' Tycho, I want to shoot something. I want to blow something up. No apologies. No advance warning. Just lethal efficiency. Before frustration kills me."
Tycho: "More words than he's strung together at once since I've known him. All right, Hobbie. You'll be in charge of the advance squadron for lead group."
Janson: "I don't think he's entirely sane right now. I'd better stay with him."
A little long, perhaps, but context is necessary. Also, Starfighters of Adumar is pure gold. Surprised this hasn't been nominated, unless I missed it in the archive. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 13:30, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
Made a couple fixes I'm assuming were typos; feel free to change it back if the book had it written that way. Jonjedigrandmaster(Talk) 15:30, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
