Summary
A clerical error discovered weeks after the uranium mission lists Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as KIA after Darkstar’s last flight.

Maverick gets frantic phone calls from Virginia. These three things are somehow related.

Summary
“They got hurt again,” he tells her before she can start worrying. “I don’t think they’re just clumsy, mama. Matty’s clumsy, he gets hurt every gym class, and he doesn’t look like this.”
“Oh, myszko,” she sighs deeply, dragging herself to sit up and lean on her pillow. “You know, sometimes… sometimes children hurt each other, Tomek,” she says quietly, carefully, like she’s known it for a while. Like she was hoping she wouldn’t have to tell him.
Or, Tom's soulmate hurts more days than they don't. He's dedicated to adding to their pain as little as possible, but he doesn't always get it right.

“You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”
She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.
“Can you fly an A320?”
Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.
“Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”

Summary
Izaiah has shored up after a particularly gruelling deployment. He's hot, he's tired, he's drunk and he's found himself trapped in a game of one-upmanship.
The prize? Free drinks until they redeploy - what sane person turns that down?
Luckily, he has the exact story that will ensure his win and send them all home to bed. There's no chance the men he's talking about are listening in, right? Although... the pair in the corner do look kind of familiar. They haven't stopped him yet, at any rate.

Or; A person not in the Dagger Squadron tries to explain the mission to others without giving away too many details and getting them all court martialled. (There are eyes and ears everywhere)
