First note: the invaluable Wing Commander CIC game guide for this mission has an error and lists this as Bifrost Mission #3. However, you’re in a new system, with a new wingman (Dirty Harry Iceman), and back in the best fighter (Rapier). In the bar beforehand, Iceman is warning you that no one had better get in his way if he gets a shot at the Kilrathi dreadnaught. That’s not ominous foreshadowing at all…
Beyond that, this is a shockingly normal patrol mission. There’s a fair bit of enemy resistance, but nothing particularly surprising.
