Trick question, it's actually a Vasudan comedian pretending to be Captain Telfer. Vasudan humor sucks.

Edit: They are really good at impressions though.

[General Battuta]

Speaking of comedians: you have a new task, brutal tongue warriors. Identify each new voice in Telfer's batch with a name and the mission they appear in. When you've come to a consensus - and you, all you in this thread, will only get one shot, so conference well - submit it under the heading OUR FINAL VERDICT. Do poorly, and you'll meet a pack of Gefs. Do well and you'll earn a professional military response. Do spectacularly, and you'll trigger a crowd-pleasing contingency.

[Shivan Hunter]

A stark beginning: Steele maybe? No... definitely admiral bosch. Mission is obviously "A Game of TAG"

A trying tongue: the gef pilot who ejected and was held hostage, in that one mission where there was a gef pilot who ejected and was held hostage

A second survivor: an ant, from that mission with the ant metaphor

A challenge derided: Pretty sure it's some gef from the mission with the elder and the pegasuseses

A grateful word: idk

[niffiwan]

Hmmm... ok; here are my guesses:

A stark beginning: Telfer, The Cost of War
A trying tongue: GEF in the lifepod, For the Wrong Reasons
A second survivor: The UEF medical transport, What Binds Us
A challenge derided: GEF pilot, Deals in Shadows
A grateful word: Rheza Station, Darkest Hour (this is the one I'm least sure of)

(looks like I mostly agree with Shivan Hunter)

[Scotty]

That last line is from... ****, it's from whatever Luna Control is in that one mission where you fly with the Knights and rendezvous with the Elder.  I can't remember the name of the mission or the exact name of the role.

[Shivan Hunter]

the luna base is from the mission with all the talking One Perfect Moment... hmm. Actually that might be it.

[EDIT] also niffiwan re: a second survivor, I think someone in a wing said that, not the medical ship... but I could be totally wrong. I should play BP again

[LoneWolf271]

The 'A Second Survivor' line is Levi, from What Binds Us.

[An4ximandros]

Rev up those GEFs cuz I am out. T'was a fun game and all but meh.

[niffiwan]

Rev up those GEFs cuz I am out. T'was a fun game and all but meh.

I guess a GEF gauntlet could be fun

Here's the updates from everyone:

A stark beginning: Telfer, The Cost of War
A trying tongue: GEF in the lifepod, For the Wrong Reasons
A second survivor: Levi, What Binds Us
A challenge derided: GEF pilot, Deals in Shadows
A grateful word: Luna control, Deals in Shadows

Anyone else want to toss ideas into the ring?

[Shivan Hunter]

A grateful word: Luna control, Deals in Shadows

err well, luna base isn't in Deals in Shadows. It's in One Perfect Moment, the preceding mission.

[niffiwan]

Ooops.  Fixed....

A stark beginning: Telfer, The Cost of War
A trying tongue: GEF in the lifepod, For the Wrong Reasons
A second survivor: Levi, What Binds Us
A challenge derided: GEF pilot, Deals in Shadows
A grateful word: Luna control, One Perfect Moment

...but I don't recall any fighting in that mission.  How does that fit in with the praise for saving them?

[An4ximandros]

Post Meridian.

[starwolf1991]

Yer, its Post Meridian in which Luna Spaceport is thanking you for.

[niffiwan]

There's been no new suggestions in 16 hours or so.... and who wants to live forever anyway - BRING ON THE GEFS!!!

OUR FINAL VERDICT

A stark beginning: Telfer, The Cost of War
A trying tongue: GEF in the lifepod, For the Wrong Reasons
A second survivor: Levi, What Binds Us
A challenge derided: GEF pilot, Deals in Shadows
A grateful word: Luna control, One Perfect Moment

[General Battuta]

Well done. A perfect five for five. You're reckless, relentless, or lucky. The appropriate contingency will be activated shortly.

[Hobbie]

The contingency being: Find a Lorna Simms or DIE!

[General Battuta]

The prize is in position.

[An4ximandros]

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeele.

[niffiwan]

Wow.  Just Wow.

And... I didn't think that was in the script, wasn't it from "Conversations from Tenebra"?  And we got it voice acted anyway?  Wheeeeeeeeeee 

[Shivan Hunter]

We are not like the enemy. Orders are not optional in this fleet.

SUCK IT UEF
