You sigh to yourself when you hear the roof hatch bang open- they've finally found you. Well, Merlin knew where you were all along and it could always be her, you think.

“So this is where you've been going.” Katya's voice drifts up from behind you.

“Guilty as charged.” You say with a chuckle. At least it's not Slider or the twins. “Come up to stargaze?”

She shakes her head as she takes the lounge chair next to you, eyeballing the heavy sleeping bag you've cocooned yourself in. Grinning, you reach down and hand her the other one from next to you- you'd planned for this eventuality.

The faint blue glow of magic surrounds her after she climbs in the bag you've just tossed her- it's cold up here, after all. Her magical radar antenna array appears seconds later, causing you some alarm.

“Trouble?” You ask, ready to leap out of your nice, warm bag and haul ass down to the hangar.

She laughs lightly. “If there was trouble, do you think I would be so calm?” She asks.

“Good point.” You say after a short pause. “So what is it then?”

She thinks for a second. “I am trying to tell my family I am safe.” She says, quietly.

I also wonder if the IJA and IJN still hate each others' guts. Seeing as how they never "lost" WWII, I wonder how their military culture turned out.

Hey Ghost, is the IJNLF still based out of Kure

>>22866143
The IJA got their shit stomped in the the Martian War. The IJN pretty much took over.

>>22866143
It must be mostly forgotten by now. Since Japan and Russia were allies, they would take great pains not to bring it up. Same with Britain and Germany.

>>22866143

Given that they never had to renounce war or answer for the many, many atrocities they committed against the Chinese and Koreans, I'm guessing the IJA are still a bunch of pricks.

They also never got the soviet ass-kicking >>22866116 mentioned or the thorough defeat the Americans gave them in the pacific, so it's quite possible they're overconfident.

“You can do that?” You ask, surprised. Even growing up with a witch mother- and sister, after a while- you're really not clear on the whole 'magic' thing they do. Just that they grow a tail when they do it.

She nods. “Night witches are really signals witches. We can communicate with each other, sometimes.”

She frowns. “So far, though, I have had no luck in contacting my family.”

You don't like the sound of that. “Can I help at all?”

Katya smiles slightly. “If you have a massive network of spies and informants in Soviet Russia, maybe. Or if you are maybe carrying the booster equipment out of a communications striker?”

You shake your head. “Fresh out of both, I'm afraid.”

She laughs again. “I am not worried- I know they are still alive, somehow. But I do wish I could talk to them. I see the others get mail, and it sometimes makes me miss them, but it is not so bad. I have you and Merlin and Ice and Maverick and the rest as my family now.”

“You know we're not exactly the most... uh... functional family ever, right?” You say, nervously.

She laughs at that, too. “No family is. Americans seem to think they have sole claim on crazy families. This one is no crazier than any other I've ever been in.”

She pauses. “Well,” She amends. “Maybe somewhat crazier.”

Downstairs, you hear the thudding of rapid footfalls, accompanied by muffled yelling and something being smashed.

Katya winces. “Ok, you are right. Much more crazy.”

If only it were that easy. When panic attacks hit it doesn't matter if you rationally know you're fine, that you have no reason to be freaking out, you just freak out. I'm pretty sure Merlin knew Frank was just stepping out when he went to talk with the president; that he wasn't abandoning her and he would come back. Didn't matter that she could have asked to accompany him, or asked to be taken to him/for him to come back, she just had an attack. Panic attacks are scary because they kill your thinking ability.

“I'm not going down there.” You say, taking another sip of coffee. “Ice can handle it.”

Katya giggles a bit. “I was afraid, there for a moment, you would want to go down and handle it, and I'd have to protect you from the twins and Slider.”

You laugh at that. “Protect me? I probably could have handled it.”

She looks over at you. “There are three of them and one of you! And the twins know strength-enhancing techniques.”

“Oh.” You say, flatly. “Yeah, good point. Any luck?” You indicate her antenna array.

She thinks for a minute, then shrugs. “Not tonight. Strangest thing, I keep hearing this gibberish. I cannot figure out where it is coming from, and it is very faint. But it is there.”

“Sounds like something for intel.” You say, opening up your thermos and pouring her a cup of coffee while topping your own off.

She accepts the cup gratefully, and winces. “No, I would rather not deal with those people. I do not think it is anything important. Just curious.”

“Above my paygrade, anyway.” You comment, looking back as the roof hatch opens again and Merlin pops her head up.

“Hi Frank!” she says, pulling up her own chair and blanket. “Hi Katya!”

“Hello little Merlin!” Katya says, scootching her chair over a bit, to make room. Merlin, seemingly oblivious to this, plops her chair down on the opposite side of yours.

“So Merlin, what's going on down there?” You ask, going to pour her a cup of coffee.

“How much did you hear?” She says, holding up her own thermos. “Coffee is for mornings. Tea for the evenings.”

“Heathen. And just some shouting, something getting broken, and running.” You say.

She makes a face at you. “You just don't know what's good. Anyway, the twins stole Slider's clothes while she was in the shower. Took her towel too. They hid them in Maverick's room, and now Slider thinks Maverick did it.”

“Sounds like fun. So she's chasing Mav around the house?” You ask, looking over as Merlin pours her tea into a mug.

She nods. “Mhmm. And the twins are downstairs getting food, since they always seem to be eating. They don't know I know they did it.”

“Ah. Well, fair enough.” You say. “Wait, if they took her clothes and her towel, what's she wearing, anyway?”

“Well, I guess she wasn't wearing anything at first, but I think Ice made her at least wrap a towel around herself.” Merlin says, then she giggles. “I think she was going to just take some of Ice's clothes, but they don't fit her really well.”

Yeah, we'll have to figure out whether Katya's compatible with the booster, or if it's just keyed to Merlin or something. And then we have to make it work with night witch abilities. If the booster is versatile enough there's no reason this won't work, and it'd be a good experiment. At the very least we learn a bit about our plane.

>>22868201

It'll work best with Merlin but it'll give a general boost to any witch who sits in it.

[x] “So, you know of any way to boots a night witch's power at all?”

“Hey Merlin,” You ask, taking your mind off the frilly underwear joke you were going to say. “Do you know of any way we could boost a Night witch's abilities without using a striker?”

Merlin thinks for a moment. “Well, we'd have to ask mom or grandma, but I think the suite in the Wyvern could do it. You'd have to run the internal APU or hook it up to a power cart though to even start it up though, and we'd have to calibrate the whole thing for someone other than me.”

“So we could?” You ask, delighted to be able to help.

“It depends, really. That whole thing is really new, so I don't know how long it would take to set up for a night witch.” Merlin says. “It took me nearly a week to get it set up for myself, and that was without us having to be on alert like we are now.”

“It is alright,” Katya says. “I am ok for now. Perhaps, though, if we are shifted to a rear area base, we can do that?”

Merlin nods over at her. “I think mom and grandma would love to have it done anyway. They'd think of it as a test of the system.”

Yeah, the Undersea Coalition SAYS they're neutral in this war, but then again, so was the Empire of Japan till one of their carrier task forces helped us mop up a Soviet escort carrier squadron.

>>22868406

No, the logic is "Martians are involved, and evidence points to either being on the Soviet's side or taking advantage of the Soviet's hissy-fit to pursue their own goals."

[x] “It probably isn't. Wonder what it is?”

You sigh, both pissed and sad that the realities of the world you live have intruded, yet again, on one of your all too rare moments of peace.

“Knowing our luck, Merlin, it isn't. Wonder what it is?” You say, slowly standing up.

“I think I will be making a wish anyway.” Katya says, resolutely. “Cannot hurt.”

You head downstairs, leaving Merlin and Katya up on the roof.

Ice greets you when you step into the lounge. “Heya boss.” you say, jerking your thumb back over your shoulder to indicate the windows. “Me and Merlin saw some shooting stars out to the north-east, but there wasn't supposed to be any kind of meteor shower or anything. Know what's up?”

Ice nods. “Yeah. Sorry, forgot to tell you, since we weren't scheduled to fly tonight. The air force shot down a pair of RORSATs, and one of the debris re-entry tracks was over the Bering. That's probably what you saw. There's a good hundred square mile track that's restricted airspace for debris.”

Well, that's a load off your mind, anyway. Man, you swear you're getting too paranoid for this shit.

“Hey Frank!” Slider says, standing up and advancing at you. “So, you wouldn't happen to know who stole my clothes while I was in the shower, would you? Cos Patty SWEARS it wasn't her.”

[x] “Ask the twins.”

Briefly, you entertain the thought of pointing her at Ice. Then you realize that, while it would be fun to watch, eventually they'd figure it out and you'd be an item of interest.

“That's horrible. Preying upon people in the water. Who would do such a thing, I wonder?” You say.

Slider stops, looking at you like you've grown a unicorn horn or something.

“Go ask the twins, Slider. I'm sure they had something to do with it.” You say.

“I KNEW IT!” Slider roars, pivoting on her feet and running down the stairs.

From below you, the sounds of chaos start up immediately.

Ice looks at the stairs, then at you. “You realize,” She says, patiently. “That now we're never going to have a moment of peace as they escalate their private little war.”

“Of course!” You say, cheerily taking Slider's recently vacated spot on the couch, propping your feet up on Ice's lap. “But it's your own fault if you don't have a hiding spot.”

“Speaking of which, were do you keep getting off to anyway?” Ice says, adjusting a bit, but not complaining.

[] “I'll die before I tell.”

Ice is nice, but that is our own relaxation spot. We found it, we earned it. Ice should find her own.

[x] “Why? You want to join the fun?”

Your desire to keep your spot hidden aside, you do understand that Ice is under a lot of pressure- possibly more so now than earlier, since more people's lives are riding on her judgment. It's a lot of load for an eighteen year old, you know- even one that's been academy trained. She's been handling it remarkably well, and you think that Katsumi is helping a lot too. Hell, Katsumi's probably helping more than you ever could- imagine the pressure she must be under!

Still, you've got something, and you can help a little, right?

“Well, I guess if you wanna join in the fun, we've got a tent full of pillows and a space heater in....” You begin, but Ice's look causes you to interrupt yourself with laughter.

“Alright, fine. Here.” You lean in to whisper. “Up on the roof. There's some chairs up there with some of those sleeping bags, the big ones, so you you can stay warm. Keep it on the down low, though. I'd rather not have to go looking for another spot.”

She nods, looking over at you as you lean back again and pointing down at your feet.

“Lose the boots or move your feet.” She orders.

[] “Bah! Fine. I was hungry anyway.”
[] “But muh feet are warm! And my boots are comfy!”
[] “Yes, ma'am.”

You carefully retract your boot-clad feet and remove them, twisting to deposit them behind the couch.

As you do so, one of the shark twins- the one with both legs- vaults the couch, flopping down in between you and Ice. Her sister, still panting, simply elects to sprawl out on the floor.

“I... I think we lost her.” She pants. “Who knew she could move so fast!”

“I wonder who told her!” the other breathlessly asks. “and why are we running from her? She's younger than us!”

“And more prone to violence. And she's got that Tail!” the one on the floor says. “I'm pretty sure she's crushed someone with that thing. She knows how to use it too well to not have.”
