:42:01
Missile away!
:42:05
The big one's shielded!
:42:07
I got two more bogeys
comin' up from the Brown Dwarf!
:42:09
Engaging!
:42:11
DEVEREAUX: Negative. I count
fourteen unfriendlies inbound.
:42:13
Looks like two destroyers.
:42:15
We're out of here.
:42:25
GERALD:
You knew what the orders were--
:42:27
no contact with the enemy.
:42:29
Now you've compromised
the mission...
:42:31
and the very existence
of this ship.
:42:33
BLAIR: I had no choice, sir.
:42:34
They'd spotted...
:42:36
Lieutenant Commander
Deveraux's heat signature.
:42:37
GERALD: Really?
Angel, how sure are you...
:42:39
that the Kilrathi
had you targeted?
:42:41
Given the Lieutenant's
background...
:42:42
are you really that certain?
:42:44
Excuse me?
:42:47
It's well documented
that Pilgrim saboteurs...
:42:50
have been responsible...
:42:51
for much of the Confed's
problems in this war.
:42:54
Did they have me targeted,
Lieutenant?
:42:55
WILSON: Now, come on.
This is sterile conjecture.
:42:59
The Kilrathi are well aware...
:43:01
that rapiers
don't just fly around...
:43:03
in deep space
without a carrier close by.
:43:08
Thank you, Lieutenant.
That is all.
:43:10
-Sir--
-Dismissed, Lieutenant.
:43:17
WILSON:
Your assessment, Mr. Gerald?
:43:19
GERALD: That concom
is running point...
:43:21
for the battle group.
:43:22
Their fleet won't be far behind.
:43:24
So I say we send them a message.
:43:26
I can have my fighters up
in thirty minutes.
:43:28
No, no. That's a mistake.
:43:30
Without her fighters...
:43:32
the Tiger Claw's vulnerable.
:43:34
GERALD: You are
a civilian scout, Mr. Taggart...
:43:35
not a naval officer.
:43:37
Tactical operations
are our concern.
:43:38
We are the Earth's only hope.
:43:40
We need to buy our fleet
two hours.
:43:44
And you're willing
to risk all that...
:43:47
chasing after
a communications ship?
:43:50
WILSON: I'm sorry, Mr. Taggart.
:43:51
Destroying the concom
with its escorts...
:43:54
will slow the Kilrathi.
:43:55
Deveraux will lead
a strike force.
:43:59
And as you have charted
the area before...
