Campaign quotes

Bottom of the Barrel

• AWACS | Vita: You’re the only ones that showed up?
  K-9B: We’re the lowest on the chain for the reserves, no one on our level ever expects to be activated.
  AWACS | Vita: Didn’t you know there was a war going on?!
• AWACS | Vita: The rest of Magadan’s Reserve Divisions already deployed an hour ago. Amateurs... You’re Division K-9, correct?
  K-9B: I swear there was more to our company, uh, should we wait for the rest?
  AWACS | Vita: That doesn’t matter now. K-9A, you’re designated flight leader, takeoff and proceed to the mission area.
• Alright, at least you can get your aircraft off the ground. This is Airborne Warning and Control Systems aircraft Vita, I've been sent by Federation Command to pick up any remaining reservists in Magadan...sound off on your TAC names. -After takeoff.
• Can you amateurs make anything easy for me? Make something up. -After initial insubordination for callsign roll call
• AWACS | Vita: Well, if that’s the pattern. K-9A, you’re Driver. Division K-9, push bearing 010, you're going to be wading in as support for a large aerial action over the Bering Strait.
  K-9C | Cobb: And you think we're gonna make a difference?
  AWACS | Vita: I didn't get dragged all the way up from Oceania for my orders to be questioned, carry them out.
• AWACS | Vita: Hold on, stand by... What?!
  ???: Raising anyone on this net, we are under attack!
  AWACS | Vita: I'm trying to raise High Command, but nothing is getting through, where are you going?! The battle is still on! -Just before battle
• Multiple mercenary IFFs crossing into Magadan airspace. K-9, hold your ground! What a goddamn mess... -Start of battle
• You mean to tell me you're all combat-ineffective?
• AWACS | Vita: It's chaos right now; Command screwed up somewhere, the Cascadians routed our forces, and we lost the entire transport operation.
  K-9D | Brick: What air transport operation?
  AWACS | Vita: Don't worry about it. Division K-9, you have new orders: Cover any damaged and retreating Federation Air Force aircraft from mercenary forces.
• K-9, engage! -Second phase
• Crystal Kingdom mobilized every fighter they had to join in over the Bering Strait, you're all that's left now. -When asked by Bookie about the status of other Magadane fighters
• All aircraft, vector directly to Anadyr AFB, the Reserve Division will cover you.
• Stay focused! -Rebuking Bookie for reiterating an airpower question
• HQ comms is spotty right now, it's like all of Crystal Kingdom is in chaos!
• AWACS | Vita: K-9, good work so far, allied forces are still rolling in, so keep up the coverage.
  K-9D | Brick: And how about reinforcements?
  AWACS | Vita: They're still days away, you don't understand how much operational capacity has been ruined.
• What?! One fighter did this? Impossible.
• We have the last group of stragglers coming across the line, designate Peacekeeping Squadron...Crimson...? -Before Thorn Rose Gang bK-9, shoot them all down!oss phase
• K-9, vector to the Cascadian Peacekeepers, get them to safety! -Just before boss phase
• K-9, shoot them all down!
• You're squaring off against the Thorn Rose Group, mercenary pilots from the Equatorial Periphery. No-good lowlives...
• Half gone! -Progress on Thorn Roses
• AWACS | Vita: K-9, we need you to RTB immediately, it's all gone wrong.
  K-9D | Brick: Was that...all of the survivors? There were only a dozen.
  AWACS | Vita: We're lucky that there were even that many, the Cascadians have turned to those godless mercenaries to fight their war, and they are making a mistake that they can never come back from.
• AWACS | Vita: It was the closest place we could reroute survivors, the next airbase over is full.
  K-9D | Brick: This isn't even an airport, it's just a seasonal runway...the only reason we have our combat aircraft here is to give the local mechanics jobs.
  AWACS | Vita: Well, get used to it. I don't like it anymore than you do, but this, like you, are all we have to work with. I'm sure you know that reports from Cascadia haven't been entirely illuminating, but you've seen with your own eyes what's going on...because of that, you are now being called to serve. According to the statutes enshrined in the Federation Charter and the joint articles of defense as issued by the parties between the Magadan Territories and the Pacific Federation, Magadan's Reserve Divisions are being mobilized and federalized.
  K-9C | Cobb: Hrmmm, when I joined the Reserves, I agreed to help out with earthquakes, the occasional smuggler intercept, and even those stupid parades down by the capital, but not this...I didn't sign up to get thrown into a meatgrinder.
  AWACS | Vita: Then pray today was the worst of it, just a flare up from overeager mercenaries with the confidence they've gotten with Cascadia's backing. Driver, I don't know about your leadership skills, but for now, this squadron organization works, especially after today; you saved lives and performed far better than even I would have anticipated. Right now, with K-9, you will be perhaps the most frontline fighter squadron here in Magadan. The safety of the Federation is in your hands as we regroup, get ready, we'll need you back in the air ASAP.
