"Turbolift Thoughts"

[Mitar Precip 0]

(This takes place at the end of last weeks sim) Precip smiled as Commander McFly entered the Turbolift. He had to be the complete opposite of what he was really thinking..his opinion of the upcoming mission. "I hope you did have fun in that fighter." Precip mentioned McFly's test flight of the Fighters new systems upgrades. "A Blast." McFly replied.. Mitar nodded with a grin and looked at the lift deck counter as it sped it's way to the deck where he planned on briefing McFly and Commander Faldek of the strike mission. A mission he felt might be their last. A mission he felt was unnecessary, and could be accomplished without using Manticore's two fighter/shuttles. These fighters were just upgraded shuttles. Okay upgraded may be an understatement ...but still they were based on a type 9/10 Federation Shuttlecraft frame. Small and agile, they were excellent for "dogfighting" as humans called it, close air support for an Awayteam and reconaissance. At the most they could probably take out a cruiser if it were not defended for such an attack. Attacking a shipyard was a whole different scenario. He could not grasp why Atragon thought these tiny fighters could project another front on the attack compared to what Manticore could do. The human tactic of hammer and and anvil didn't make sense with what Manticore was using. If maybe 50 or more fighters were involved perhaps that would make a difference. But Manticore was not a aircraft carrier she was a battleship..with a huge new weapon system that as he understood could inflict incredible damage to cruiser..and with the proper reconassance could blow the shipyard to pieces along with her parked ships. And what a blast that would be. Despite their new shielding Precip thought Too big for two small fighters. Atragon thought otherwise. ::exhale:: Mitar cleared his mind of his belief of the "overated importance of Manticore's fighters Atragon held". He now had to get two pilots ready to attack WITH Confidence. of getting back alive. He had to put on an act..a very good one.
