Anomaly in WC3

I was playing through the game again last night and I found
a strange anomaly..  first, I was at the mission in 
Locanda IV where you have to save the planet from the Skippers
and then (if you want) go save Flint.  Now, I saved Locanda IV
and I also saved Flint.  When I asked for landing clearance,
Rollins responded with the "First a planet, now a pilot" message.
BUT, when I landed, first it showed a conversation between 
Blair and Flint  ("You've gotta fly with your head, not with your
heart."-- and then cut into the scene where Cobra gets
out of her cockpit and talks to Flint.  The weird thing was that
after Cobra was finished telling Flint to take care, Blair 
AGAIN said "You've gotta fly with your head, not with your 
heart."  Is it this way with everyone's copy, or did my CD
just skip?


Thanks for any responses,

   I was wondering the same thing... I didn't have the option to go save
Flint, I could only land. Did I miss something? Did Cobra go get her? 
   Better yet, is this going to effect the progress of my only saved game?

After you tell Eisen you're goin after her, wait a few seconds.  The
system will load up a new mission, and then you can start your quest
for Flint.

Yes you do, you just say to the captain that you want to save Flint.

>Did I miss something? Did Cobra go get her? 

She will be safe anyway, Cobra will get her.

No, just give you a reason when you found out about Angel.

The Cobra/Flint thing is supposed to be seen if you decline/fail the
mission to rescue Flint, Cobra does it & they chat after you land.  It
seems to occur sometimes even if you do sucessfully fly after Flint
yourself.  I had to play the game three times before I landed and
talked to Flint WITHOUT having the Cobra/Flint conversation take place
also.  I suspect it has to do with which areas you battle Kilrathi in
during the mission, as that is variable.  Kind of weird, eh?

Yes, this happened to me as well.  I risked life and limb to save poor
Flint, only to find that Cobra got all the credit.  I was playing the
game to -get away- from work situations...
