- [after shooting down Pasternak]
- Ilya Pasternak: The Strigon Team has fled the combat airspace. We won...
- [as the Strigon Team flies toward Gracemeria]
- Toscha Mijasik: Forgive me Ludmila... I failed to bring you happiness. Strigon 12, bearing 250, all instruments check out. Let us begin.
- Ilya Pasternak: Gentlemen, I do not believe a lady on earth would be able to resist us now. All pilots, listen carefully. Change your courses to 90 and leave the battle zone. Avoid engagement and fly as far as your fuel allows. I will handle the Garuda Team.
- Toscha Mijasik: What? You can't be serious!
- Ilya Pasternak: Your deaths will achieve nothing. You must live to ensure the future of our nation. Besides, half the female population is waiting for your return.
- Toscha Mijasik: But wait! I will not allow this! We...
- Ilya Pasternak: I am shutting down communications. Strigon Team, Break formation!
- Ilya Pasternak: Garuda, are you getting this? It's not over yet.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Who is this?
- Ilya Pasternak: The real war has just begun.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Who the hell is this? What are you talking about?
- Ilya Pasternak: Corrupt governments and marred lands are no longer worth fighting to protect. There's only one thing worth protecting now.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Unknown aircraft approaching fast! This may be an attack!
- Ilya Pasternak: And that's the future.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Airborne Warning and Control System Ghost Eye to all scrambling defense craft. The situation has not yet been ascertained. We must implement an emergency reformation. Follow your individual instructions. Garuda 1, you do not have a wingman. Let's see... Shamrock. Shamrock, are you alone, too? Very well. As of now you're Garuda 2.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Okay.
- [flies into formation with Talisman]
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): So I'm Garuda 2. Garuda 1, I've got your back. No time for introductions now, though. Go ahead, and I'll follow your lead. Never was good with directions anyhow.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Garuda Team, you are authorized to engage any hostile aircraft above Gracemeria.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Roger that. May the Golden King smile upon us.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: We've got an ID on the invaders. We're engaged with the Estovakian military.
- Commander Windhover: The Estovakians?
- Avalanche: Their economy's been in shambles for years. Looks like they finally snapped.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Enemy cruise missile incoming.
- Commander Windhover: Those are no ordinary cruise missiles... Evade like hell if you want out of this alive!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Dammit! What about our city? What about Gracemeria?
- AWACS Ghost Eye: This is Ghost Eye to all planes. Air defense command has ordered an evacuation. You've been ordered to give up Gracemeria. Break away from this airspace and head west.
- Commander Windhover: Are you out of your mind? We can't comply with that order.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: We are militarily at a huge disadvantage. Comply with the order and head west.
- Avalanche: This is Avalanche. We're not going anywhere.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Listen! It's only temporary. The plan is to withdraw, meet up with all remaining forces from each area, then regroup for a counter attack. We can't afford to lose you. Follow the order.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): This is Garuda 2 to Garuda 1. We really should get out of here.
- Commander Windhover: This is Commander Windhover of the 15th Squadron. The enemy is expanding its field of attack. Stay alert.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Ghost Eye to Garuda 1, Talisman, and Garuda 2, Shamrock. We are currently in a state of emergency. Our nation is under attack by unknown forces. Do whatever you can to fend off the invasion.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Garuda 2, roger that. Garuda 1, you call the shots.
- Toscha Mijasik: Target kill confirmed.
- Lt. Colonel Victor Voychek: That's it, Toscha, looking good. We're going to sweep Emmeria under the rug.
- Commander Windhover: So those bastards think they can barge into someone's house without even calling first?
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Unbelievable. I say we teach 'em a few manners before we kick 'em out.
- Avalanche: Looks like the Stovies are runnin' out of steam. Had enough, boys?
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Garuda Team, you're almost to Gracemeria! Put everything you've got into this! Hold on. An emergency wire just came in from Mission Command. You've been ordered to evacuate! Mission Command has ordered an evacuation! All planes cease fire immediately, I repeat, all planes cease fire immediately! You have been ordered to retreat!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): What do you mean retreat? This is no time to screw around, Ghost Eye!
- AWACS Ghost Eye: This is no joke! I'll say it again. Cease fire immediately! That's an order! Retreat from the airspace!
- [Garuda Team continues to dogfight the enemy]
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Garuda Team, that's an order. Cease fire and withdraw from the airspace immediately!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): You've gotta be nuts! Our city's under attack here! You can't expect us to abandon our people!
- AWACS Ghost Eye: I repeat, you have been ordered to cease fire by Mission Command! This mission has been aborted!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): I'm putting an end to this war right here. My family has suffered for too long. This is it. Let's do this, Garuda 1.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Garuda Team, you are in violation of a direct order! Don't you see what's happening here? Comply with your order immediately!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Ghost Eye, what the hell do you know about losing a family member. I'll take whatever the hell action I see fit!
- AWACS Ghost Eye: This is your last warning. Cease fire now! I repeat, cease fire immediately!
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): If I can just kill off this unit... I can go home - back to my family.
- AWACS Ghost Eye: Shamrock! Are you listening to me? You're in a lot of trouble here! Cease fire!
- [Shamrock disconnects his radio]
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): My wife and daughter are both dead. It's just been confirmed... I saved my country, but I lost my family. What kind of an "ace" can't even protect his own family? Monica... And Jessica... How could I let this happen?
- [brief pause]
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): Once this mission's over, I'm turning in my wings. I've had it. I have no more reason to fly.
- Marcus Lampert (Shamrock): [shortly after Talisman and Shamrock disobey orders and defeat Strigon Team] All planes are down! Now I can finally get back to Gracemeria...
- AWACS Ghost Eye: You've made a huge mistake. There's no getting around a penalty for this.
