This is the second mission of the Blackwater Operations campaign demo for Freespace 2. The year is 2376, and we inhabit the role of Lieutenant Commander Aidan Mallory, assigned to the 95th White Lightning squadron, GTD Bethesda. It has been nine years since the severing and destruction of the Capella system. Our wing has been selected for the Terran-Vasudan Officer Exchange Program, and we are currently seconded to the GVD Memphis. The involvement of the GVCv Geb in the pirating of the convoy and hijacking of the GVCv Khnum is troubling enough, but GTVI believes that there is a link between these events and a wider anti-Terran movement among Vasudans. Retired Admiral Ahmose (who Freespace veterans and watchers of the channel may remember as the admiral who almost blew our cover during the first SOC loop of the Freespace 2 main campaign) has been prominent among this movement, and has been arrested aboard the GVI Alexandria installation for questioning. We must escort the GTVI transport assigned to pick up the Admiral to the station. An attempt on such a large installation is not expected, but it's hard to predict fanatics...
