The reason they're called the chairforce is because our airforce has nothing to do these days but sit on their asses. That definitely wont be the case for war fighters.

There's a war on? I thought the war was over some 20-odd years ago. If anything, we might just be killing not-Afghanis in not-Afghanistan, scrubbing cave networks and fortified bases with high speed, low drag precision.

>>26925962
I'm honestly kind of surprised. I would've thought more people would've gone with flight training. Oh well...

Well, it looks like we're going to be trying to go for the coveted TIER ONE! Now let's see who among our little starting cast we'll be playing as!

CHARLOTTE STURMFUHRER: One of the dreaded Sturmfuhrer twins, Charlotte seems to have inherited her parents' best and worst traits. Skilled and confident, but can be stupidly stubborn at times. Ultra protective of her twin sister.

FALYNN STURMFUHRER: The second Sturmfuhrer twin, Falynn seems to be the complete opposite of Charlotte. Quiet, reserved, and keeps to herself mostly. She's even a bit cold to her own family with the exception of Charlotte.

LUCINA: The ultimate result of the terrifying combination of Ramirez and Tarin's genes, Lucina seems to be nothing but the model soldier. Skilled, silent, and deadly. However, her less than normal upbringing means she's rather weak in social skills.

LUCAS WILLIAMS: Half knight and half Darcsen, Lucas is every bit the naive idealist, hoping that there are still heroes left in man. Very nice and trusting, almost to a fault.

EDWIN HOHENZOLLERN: An exchange student from Belka, Edwin takes his noble lineage very seriously, and has a very dim view of those he doesn't see as worthy equals (which is pretty much everybody). Extremely intelligent and cunning, but relies a bit too much on his intellect.

MORGAN HATHCOCK: A bit of an enigma, Morgan just seemingly showed up out of nowhere at the school. However, while his past is a bit fuzzy, nobody could doubt his natural talent and didn't ask any questions. Franky, Morgan seems to prefer it that way.

OTHER: Or do you want a custom character?

CHOOSE YOUR FATE!

>>26926744

Well I don't know if there is a war going on right now, but it's another VMC quest so I wouldn't be surprised, it's either happening or going to happen.

If we keep our real history parallels consistent, then we should be in the Cold War about now.

So we might have to wait for VMQ3: Tactical Kebab Removal Action before we get our fill of murdering poorly trained under-equipped militiamen in the name of FREEDOM.

Don't forget SASR.
"the field modification of L1A1 and L2A1 rifles by the Australian Special Air Service Regiment SASR for better handling. Nicknamed "The Bitch", these rifles were field modified, often from heavy barrel L2A1 automatic rifles, with their barrels cut off right in front of the gas block, and often with the L2A1 bipods removed to install a XM148 40 mm grenade launcher mounted below the barrel. The XM148 40 mm grenade launchers were obtained from U.S. forces. For the L1A1, the lack of fully automatic fire resulted in the unofficial conversion of the L1A1 to full-auto capability by using lower receivers from the L2A1, which works by restricting trigger movement."

You are LUCAS WILLIAMS, the son of a Darcsen engineer and a Belkan knight. You can't really say anything super special happened in your life. In fact, all you can remember is it being rather normal, compared to the cool stuff your friends do. Honestly, you're a bit jealous of them.

Maybe that's why you actually agreed to enroll in the Tier One program when you got the chance. You could do something with your life worth bragging about.

In fact, today was going to be the first day of class. You sort of wonder how it will go, but you've heard nothing but dark rumors and hearsay about the class, usually from students who didn't actually enroll or washed out. The ones who went in and actually managed to graduate were extremely tight lipped.

Glancing at your clock, you see you've still got a bit of time before class starts.

Well, ever since last year's term ended, you haven't actually seen your sister Lara that much. Apparently opting for flight school requires a lot of preparation before class actually starts. Then again, you're not surprised, since flight was still a relatively new and unproven form of combat. Sure, combat plans have been around for fifteen years already, but aside from a few aerial skirmishes, their hasn't been any serious war to test them yet.

You walk over to the pilot dorms, next to the academy airfield. Mentally recalling Lara's room number, you track down the door and give it a good knock. The door swings open to reveal a relatively short but energetic looking Darcsen girl.

"Luke? What are you doing here?" She blinks.

"What, can't a brother visit his favorite sister?" You laugh.

"I'm your ONLY sister." She pouts.

"Hey, I was just stopping by to see how you were doing. Never got a chance to see you when the term ended."

"Ah, well, my class schedule got moved up, so I have to leave right now! You mind talking while we walk?"

"Yeah, sure."

As you walk with Lara out of the dorms, you see a trio of warplanes swoop down to land on the airstrip, their propellers chopping through the air like angry insects. Actually, you've passed this airfield hundreds of times but you didn't actually know all that much about flying. Maybe Lara would know something?

I find this funny because I had thought a brother in the airforce with a sister in the army as our MC would be cool, and it's the opposite. Kind of upset there weren't that many people that wanted to hit the skies.

"Hey, so what kind of planes are those?" You ask, nodding at the trio of planes that had just landed.

"Oh, those are Condors, Gallia's first mass produced fighter and basically a flying tank." Lara shrugs. "Apparently they didn't know how air combat was going to in the beginning, so the made the initial planes as tough as possible."

"Are you going to fly one of those?"

"Of course not!" Lara shakes her head. "You don't so much fly a Condor as you DRIVE it. It just doesn't click with me. I mean, Ann fell in love with it at the first sight, saying that it would make "a fine steed". But honestly I prefer something a bit faster."

"Ah." You nod. Well, the more you know. "So, why exactly did you want to fly in the first place?"

"Oh come on, Luke, why do you always ask the easiest questions?" Lara giggles. "I mean, who WOULDN'T want to fly? 'Carve your path in the skies.' It just sounds so... exciting!"

"I think I'm starting to understand." You nod.

"Yeah, well, I need to go now." Lara smiles. "And, uh, don't you have class today, too?"

You look at your watch and wince.

"HOLY CARP I'M GONNA BE LATE!" You blanch. You give your sister a quick hug before bolting off. Lara just smiles, shakes her head and waves goodbye as you leave.

Unfortunately, your classroom was pretty much on the opposite end of the campus from the airfield, so you had a LOT of running to do. However, you round a corner and notice too late you're about to crash into your best friend. You try to slide to a stop but it's far, far too late.

You see Lucina right in front of you as you try to slide to a stop. You're afraid that you won't be able to stop in time, but Lucina sidesteps impossibly fast, letting your momentum carry you past her before she reaches her arms out to grab to you keep you from falling on your face.

"If you were trying to ambush me, that was a terrible way to go about it." Lucina says.

"I didn't even mean that!" You breathe as the adrenaline begins to drain out of your system.

"Still, that was a very impressive sprint. You just need to work on your pacing or you'll just tire yourself out."

You sigh. Lucina was always a bit... weird. The combination of her less than normal upbringing and the fact that her abilities were so far above the average person's meant there was this huge barrier between her and others. Lucina had trouble comprehending how people couldn't keep up her, since she thought her abilities were completely normal. It was easy to see how a lot of the students here took her naivete the wrong way and avoided her.

Well, that's why you've stuck around to try and teach her the finer points of social graces. It was... kind of working. At least she had the sense to announce herself when she arrived, rather than giving everybody a scare when she seemingly just materializes right behind them.

"You know," Lucina says as you both make your way to class. "I always sort of figured you to be the pilot type. No offense, but we both know your physical ability scores weren't exactly the best."

"You know, if it were coming from anybody other than you, I'd probably agree." You sigh.

"But still, why'd you join Tier One?" Lucina asks.

"Well, isn't the point of joining the super hard program to see if you've got what it takes?" You say. "We're not all supersoldiers like you, Lucina. Some of us actually find training to be difficult."

"Impossible." Lucina shakes her head. "The training so far as been simple and rudimentary. Anybody could do it."

Once again, Lucina completely missing the point. However, you're too tired to really debate the matter with her.

"And also, I can't just leave my best friend hanging, right? I mean, what would you do without me?"

"Well... I wouldn't have to worry about having to keep rescuing you every five minutes." Lucina says without a hint of sarcasm or malice. Honestly....

"The point is, don't you like it better when I'm around?"

"...yeah, I do." Lucina nods.

"Well, it's settled then. We're gonna beat Tier One together!"

"Looking forward to it." Lucina smiles.

At this point, the both of you have entered the classroom. There can't be more than a couple dozen students here, but you do recognize a couple.

We know that Charlotte, and probably Falynn as well, are up to something, I mean Jager is pretty much our uncle and we grew up knowing them. This also means that we know their tactics and how they operate, so be ready to turn the tables on them when they do try something.

Fake a window of vulnerability and not paying attention so they think they have the edge, then dodge them.

"Lucina..." Your eyes scan the classroom carefully. "Do you have a visual on the Twins?"

"That's a negative." Lucina responds.

That wasn't good. The Twins were notorious tricksters, and you had often found yourself in their sights more often than not, mostly because they've figured out that you were the most fun to tease. While largely harmless, you were a near-adult now, and you really didn't want to have to keep dealing with that sort of thing!

And like a ominous wraith, you see Falynn standing right in front of you. She doesn't really say anything. She normally doesn't, but she just gives you a rather dull look.

"Okay Falynn, what's your game?" You say, getting into a defensive stance, ready for anything she might pull.

"Silly Lucas, I'm just the distraction." She says quietly.

"Aw carp."

You try and turn around to face your attacker, and you almost make it. Almost.

"Gotcha!" Charlotte grins as her arms wrap around your chest, keeping you pinned.

"Lucinaaaaaaa, a little help, please!" You cry.

"Your life isn't in immediate danger. I see no reason to intervene." Lucina shrugs.

"Actually, I promised Lucy that I'd give her a weeks' worth of dessert rations." Charlotte grins.

"Traitor! Betrayer! Lucina! I trusted yooooouuuuu!!!"

"I'm sorry, it was too tempting." Lucina looks away.

"Come on, Falynn, like we agreed, you can go first." Charlotte says.

Oh no, oh no no no no...

Falynn calmly walks up to you. You both stare at each other for a few moments before she does what you dread the most. She reaches out your arm and starts ruffling your hair.

"So fluffy...." She says.

"I know, right?" Charlotte says, rubbing her cheek against the back of your head. "It's like he hasn't aged a day!"

Normally, getting assaulted and quite possibly molested in the middle of class was something that should have grabbed some attention, but considering these were the Stumfuhrer Twins, you see more looks of jealousy than horror. If only they knew, if only they knew...
