Preflight cinematics and mission briefing for mission 16 of Origin's Wing Commander 3 space combat simulator. There is a slight but noticeable desync between subtitles and audio.
Wait, I just rewatched the intro... "There will be no interrogation." I forgot about that. Ah well, I don't think it's a stretch that Blair would be well known by the Kilrathi, he's like the Red Baron of outer space after all.
@dealmaker007 I'm not sure if the Hobbes personality construct thing is supposed to be canon, but if it is he couldn't have been the one who told Thrakhath about Blair and Angel's real identities.
@dealmaker007 It's always bothered me how Thrakath knows Blair's real name. He's only ever addressed by his callsign over the radio in WC2 - for exactly this reason, so the enemy can't identify pilots. Though I guess Rollins calls him Col Blair during landings in WC3.
@PancakesHouse Pilots' identities are kept secret for a reason, that's why callsigns exist in the first place.

@aavallone Isn't the easiest explanation that someone on Angel's team of anonymous spies talked before they were all disintegrated?

@aavallone Well they do have a mole....but who knows...maybe video game logic applies here.
Also how did Thrakath know who Blair's "lairmate" was? LOL. The Kilrathi have some damn good maury and springer level intel LOL.

"that isn't all they'll do if they ever get our paws on us"
What's up Cobra, you have something worse in mind than getting your tongue ripped out and brain scooped out?
Dumbest wingman in the game by far.
