The flight back to Castle Sturmfuhrer is rather short, considering the mission only took place just off the coast. However, by the time the Skyranger lands, you and the rest of your squad, with the exception of Lucina, Simo and Bragg, are all bone tired.

"Better get used to it, because it only gets harder from here." Simo said.

Normally, debriefing would happen right after you got back, but Simo took pity on the Wraiths and decided to give you all a 48 hour rest period. It was your first mission, after all.

You spent the first day pretty much asleep, and you suspect almost everybody else did too. By the time the second day rolls around, you find you've got a bit of free time to tie up some loose ends before the debrief session.

You vaguely recall that Falynn had been sent to the infirmary overnight in order to make sure her leg had healed correctly. Even though ragnaid was a miracle of modern medicine, it wasn't perfect. Some injuries just couldn't be fully healed, and other times the injured could suffer complications from the ragnaid itself. Either way, wounded were still funneled to the infirmary as a precaution.

Like most of the other modern buildings at Sturmfuhrer Castle, the infirmary didn't really look like anything special. In fact, it looked a lot like the student dorms except for the giant red cross painted on the side.

A quick query to the nurse at the front desk leads you to one of the examination rooms. By some stroke of luck, you manage to catch Falynn just as she's leaving.

"O-oh, Lucas, what are you doing here?" Falynn blinks. "You weren't hurt too, were you?"

>What say?

>>27191295
"Nah, I was just coming by to see how you were doing."

>>27191295
"Just making sure your grumpy attitude and pessimism didn't convince the doctor to amputate your leg."

You smile and grab Falynn's hands, overjoyed that she was apparently all right.

"Oh good, nothing went wrong! Of course I came for you~ Came to see if you were alright."

And that's when you receive a kick to your shin.

"Agh! What was that for!?" You cry.

"F-for embarrassing me!" Falynn pouts, her cheeks pink. "Treating me like a kid in front of all these people..."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that."

"It's fine. I was just in a bit of a bad mood, is all." Falynn sighs. "The leg's fine, by the way. The doctor just said not to overexert it for a couple days."

You DO notice Falynn seems to be a bit more down that usual. Seesh, wasn't surviving your first mission supposed to make you feel BETTER about yourself?

"Come on, Falynn, what's got you so down? You can tell me." You say helpfully.

"Always have to involve yourself into other people's problems, huh?" Falynn sighs, but smiles.

"Well, if I don't, who will?" You grin. "You're not exactly the most talkative of people, Falynn. Nobody's every going to know about your problems if you clam up about them."

"Uggggh, why do you always have to sound like you're right?" Falynn shakes her head. "I blame your father."

"Yeah, he does kind of talk like that too, doesn't he?" You laugh. You notice Falynn can't help but laugh as well. "But seriously, what's wrong?"

"I'm just... scared." Falynn frowns, obviously reluctant to talk about the issue. "During that whole mission, I just couldn't stop thinking to myself about what my Mom or Dad would have done. Every little thing. Would they have made the landing perfectly? Could they move around with a hurt leg? I mean, my pack was within arm's reach of me and I never even realized it! Ever second, it feels like my Mom and Dad are looking right over my shoulder, judging everything I do!"

Tears start welling up in Falynn's eyes and she tries wiping them away, but even you can see how obvious it is.

"I-I know it's silly how I say it, but that's really how I felt the entire time! And I can't tell Charlotte! She'd just end up worrying endlessly over me and it'll make her screw up! She'd never understand, anyways. She's never scared of anything!"

This was starting to get serious. You always knew Falynn suffered from an inferiority complex when it came to her parents, but you didn't know it would get THIS bad. It seems like the stress of the first mission was causing her psyche to crack.

>What do you do?

>>27192114
Falynn, there's an old saying that someone said, it's that, "The first casualty of any battle is the battle plan." There are some things we simply cannot predict no matter how much we plan. You shouldn't blame yourself.

>>27192114

Grab hold of her shoulders and look her dead in the eyes. Tell her she did well, given the circumstances. Tell her she did just as well as anyone would have after breaking their leg and undershooting the drop zone. Tell her her parents would have been proud of the way she performed.

Wipe away a tear from her eye with our thumb and give her that warm smile of reassurance and encouragement.

>>27192114
"Falynn, you think I wasn't scared out of my mind that whole time? Because I was. Just find something worth fighting for and the fear won't matter as much as your goal"

>>27192114
Tell her she did what she could, it's bad luck is all. Could have very well been Lucas considering how he handles jumping off airplanes so she shouldn't sweat it.

>>27192114
>"Falynn, someone once told me that there's two kinds of soldiers. Those who are scared in battle...and liars. Courage isn't never being scared, it's staring that fear dead in the eyes and telling it 'I am better than you'. And hell, I'm sure auntie Sam and uncle Jager were terrified in battle too."

Get her out of the hospital corridor. Not where everyone can see. Take her hand, lead her away. Maybe to some hospital park or where we can at least get some privacy so she can cry in private.

"We are our parent's kids Falynn. The sad fact is that we will always be held up in comparison to them. You have Auntie Sam and Uncle Jaegar. I've got my mum and dad. We're second generation demons, thats part of the reason why we're even here in the first place; instead of being an civilian elsewhere.

But that is only one part of the lady infront of me. Not just Falynn, Jaegar and Sam Sturmfuhrer's daughter. But Falynn, master engineering and Tier One specialist in the Demons of Rangriz. Always looking to how she can improve herself every step of the way and with a ardent desire to not let her friends and comrades down.

It'll take time Falynn but soon others will see what me and the rest of the Wraiths. A cute, capable woman who worries about what others think.

And no, I don't think Uncle Jaegar would have touched down safely. He'd have crashedlanded. Like the Demon's flight."

>>27192482
I'll support this.

>>27192482

Tank hunting fearlessly.

Remember she got three tank kills even before that prequel episode. Not exactly a good idea.

>>27192622
I meant how sam felt on her first battle.
words of encouragement from her parent isn't exactly bad

>>27192114
Even though the infirmary was fairly empty, you gently take Falynn's hand and pull her into one of the empty wards. In the relative privacy of the room Falynn finally breaks down. While it's not wailing and screaming like you were expecting, Falynn just sits on one of the beds and quietly sobs.

You honestly do feel a bit for Falynn. When you were younger, everybody kept comparing you to your parents. "You'll be great engineer one day!", "You'll be a master swordsman in no time!" They said. Well, you weren't too good at all that technical stuff and you were even worse with a sword.

Thankfully, you made this pretty clear to your parents and they were pretty understanding of it. You're sure Uncle Jager and Auntie Sam would be nothing but supportive of Falynn if they knew what she was going through, but the problem was that Falynn herself didn't want to tell them, either because of fear, pride or both.

Well, you had to deal with the problem at hand first. You kneel down in front of Falynn and gently pat her on the head.

"We are our parent's kids Falynn. The sad fact is that we will always be held up in comparison to them. You have Auntie Sam and Uncle Jaegar. I've got my mum and dad. We're second generation demons, thats part of the reason why we're even here in the first place; instead of being an civilian elsewhere.

Falynn just looks at you for what seems like a long time, and you stare back.

"Jeez, Lucas, when did you get this cool?" Falynn finally smiles. "It's like I look away for a second and you've changed into a completely different person!"

"Do you really think that?" You frown. You don't think you've been doing anything differently from before.

"Yeah!" Falynn nods."You know, me and Char always sorta though you were a bit dorky. Lovable, but dorky. But... yeah. If you can change that means I can too... or at least try...."

"That's better than moping around." You grin. "So, can we make a promise? No more of that pessimism and negativity. From now on you're your own person."

You then hold out your pinky.

"Really? And just when I said you weren't so dorky anymore!" Falynn laughs.

"Hey, pinky promises are still binding!" You pout. "Are we going to do this or not?"

"Y-yeah, just a second!" Falynn wipes several tears out of her eyes. At least they were tears of laughter rather than sadness. Her pinky then curls around you and the deal is done. "It's a promise!"

"Yeah, well, you should probably be getting back to Charlotte now. She'd want to know you're okay and all." You say.

"Okay..." Falynn nods, gets off the bed, and hugs you. "Thanks a lot, Lucas. And, one more thing..."

"Yeah?" You blink.

"When you said I was cute... what did you mean by that?"

"I always thought you were cute, Falynn." You laugh.

Falynn's face flushes a deep red. She breaks off the hug and begins quickly shuffling away for the door. You wonder if she picked up a fever or something.

"A-a-anyways, t-thanks for the advice!" Falynn stammers before making her escape.

Well, that was pretty intense. You sigh and fight the urge to lay down on one of the hospital beds. You've already had more than enough rest. You check your watch and see you've still got a few hours left.

As you walk out of the infirmary, you just happen to catch a small tuft of short white hair walking past and you realize it's Morgan, no doubt also on her way to the debriefing.

"Morgan! Hey Morgan!" You yell, waving to the girl in disguise.

"Huh? Lucas?" Morgan blinks when she sees you approach from the infirmary. "You weren't hurt, were you?"

"Nah, I was just checking up on Falynn." You respond. "Anyways, there's this huge question that's been bugging me for the longest time."

"Oh?" Morgan raises an eyebrow, wondering what you could possibly be talking about.

"Like, what exactly is the deal between you and Simo?" You ask. "I know he knows you're a girl, but there's just this way he acts whenever you're involved, like, he gets ultra-protective. I'm pretty sure he suspects I know your secret, and he's just waiting for the chance to utterly pound me."

"Ah.. well... umm..." Morgan's eyes dart away from yours. "It's.. .kinda private..."

"Okay." Morgan sighs and sits down on a bench, motioning you to sit down next to her. "Better sit down. It's kind of a long story."

You sit down next to her and Morgan takes a deep breath before beginning.

"I don't want to give away too much, but several years back, I was in a pretty bad situation at home, so, I ran away." Morgan leans back and looks at the bright blue sky above, which matched the blue in her own eyes. "And, by total chance, I happened across Aleksandr and Elsa Petrovich. I told them what I was running from, and they decided to take me in."

You briefly wonder whether you should ask why she ran away from home, but you stop yourself. This was her story, after all.

"Well, then they took me here, where they introduced me to Simo. For the first few years, he was the one who really took care of me while I was getting used to things. He was also one of the people who didn't like the idea of me hiding my gender."

Huh, maybe that's why he always seemed so bitter over it.

"So... what does Simo see in me? I don't really know. But I know I see him as a big brother, a friend, and..." Morgan looks away, her face reddening.

"Come on, Morgan." You say, poking her cheek. "Don't back out on me now."

"I... I really like him, okay?" Morgan says, all flustered. "It's... hard to explain, which is why I never told him about it, but now I'm getting the same feeling around you and aaaagghh! I said waaaaaay too much!"

Morgan buries her face in her hands.

"Please forget what I just said." She mumbles.

"Wait... you like me... and Simo...?"

Suddenly, the realization dawns upon you. Maybe, just maybe, Morgan was entangled in some sort of complicated crush triangle between you and Simo. Your mind's only response to this revelation is to just blank out.

"Lucas? Lucas!?" Morgan waves her hand in front of your face to try and get your attention, which ultimately fails. "Oh god this is so embarrassing! I don't care what Elsa says, I'm never going to get a boyfriend..."

Your mind finally snaps back to reality but your mouth starts moving before your brain can catch up.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!?!?"

"Ugh, this is all kinds of complicated." Morgan sighs, defeated. "I can't do this anymore. I can't keep pretending I'm a guy! It's... it's just messing me up!"

"What are you going to do?" You say, your brain and mouth finally working in unison again.

"I've got half a mind just to end this stupid charade."

Now I really don't wanna think what will happen to her if she reveals herself too early. Things like bounty hunters. Oh crap..., does she have a bounty on her head?

>>27194326

Theres something bigger than just 'not a girl' behind this.

It might concern her safety and so it should not be dropped so easily.

>>27194379

You'd have to be a really dumb bounty hunter to go after that bounty. Like, "Let's attack the guy who has perfect vision in the dark, at night." level stupid.

You'd be surprised what one would do for money. Maybe not bounty hunters, maybe elite Mercs who constantly try to hound us.

>>27194401

It might stem from before.

She WAS running away from something. If its big enough that she ran off to a totally different country and hide as a girl, that shit is big.

the question is, where did she run away from?
The Empire?
Federation?
Lab of a secret origination bent on world domination?

>>27194510
It was implied the Empire due to her respect for tanks and knowledge of the Ruhm machine gun.

>>27194499

Enemy snipers are never treated well. They'd want her head on a pike before they even think of interrogating her.

>>27194519
Except if the bounty predates her becoming a sniper, then it would probably specify "alive".

>>27194538
And thats if she even has a bounty to begin with.

>>27194538
If I remember correctly, she said she ran away 7 years ago, which made her around 11 years old at the time her bounty was probably made.

>>27194544

What is she running from then.

>>27194302
"I know you've been keeping it hidden for a reason, but if you can't perform with this hanging over your head, then end it when you're ready. Whatever you decide, I'll support you." You respond, trying to keep yourself calm.

"You know... I think I will." Morgan sighs and stands up. "Honestly I'm surprise the whole thing didn't fall apart earlier. I'll... I'll talk to Simo about it. Maybe then I can get my head straight about that one situation that WE TOTALLY MUTUALLY AGREED TO FORGET EVER HAPPENED."

"Got it." You nod, not desiring to see Morgan's wrath.

"And don't worry, I won't tell Simo you already know."

"Thanks."

With that, Morgan says her goodbyes and leaves you sitting at the bench.Things were starting to get complicated now, as you've got a strong reason to believe that both Morgan and Falynn had their sights set on you. You... did not know what to think about that. Looking at your watch, you probably only had time for one more detour before going to the debriefing.

Meant to quote: >>27194679

>>27194561
You flee. You flee as fast as your legs can take you all the way back to private cottage your parents had taken residence in. At this point in the day, classes have ended, so they should be there.

Sure enough, you see Dad lounging on the porch, reading one of the many, many books he's collected over the years. At first glance, you'd never guess Dad used to be a Belkan knight. He was tall and then, with slightly greying hair. He actually looked much more like a scholar than a fighter.

But that still didn't change the fact that he was a skilled and deadly sword fighter. He even still keeps it close by just in case, which many a prospective boyfriend for Lara found out the hard way.

"Lucas! What brings you here?" You dad's face brightens when he sees you approach. "Aren't you still on active duty?"

"Dad," You pant, "I think I need some advice."

"Well, shoot, son. I'm listening." You dad says, concern creeping on his face.

"What do you do when uh, more than one girl is interested in you?"

"More than one?" Dad frowns. "Oh boy.... I never had to deal with that. You mother was the only woman for me..."

"So you can't help?"

"I didn't say that!" Your dad stands up and puts a hand on your shoulder. "Lucas, I can only impart this one piece of advice. If you feel a girl likes you, be honest with them. It works out better in the long run."

"Um, okay..." You frown.

"Because remember, women's feelings are fickle and dangerous things. And I'm sure Lucina has a lot more that can be considered dangerous..."

Wait... Lucina?

SALTINES

"Oh no..." Your head droops. "That makes three girls so far. I'm doomed, aren't I?"

"You probably are." Dad nods sagely. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

"Okay." You sigh. "Thanks, Dad."

"No problem. Now, you'd better get running before Mom gets back. You know how she gets when the subject of romance is brought up..."

>Yeah, let's avoid that.

"Well Dad, since I'm gonna die, I might as well put more nails in the coffin and hear what mom has to say. As long as I get to handle the sugar."

Well thats out of the window now.

I honestly can't see Lucas being so oblivious and spread his brand of charm to other girls now that he knows what hes doing.

>>27194852
"You know what, I'm going to risk it." You say. "I really don't know what to do here."

"Well, good luck with that." You dad sighs.

"Hm, were you two talking about me?" Mom says as she walks up the path leading to the cottage.

"Lucas here is in need of some advice." Dad says, sitting back down in his chair. "Romantic advice."

At that moment, you can swear Mom's eyes flash and in one second she's at the far end of the yard and in the next she's already right up to you.

"Ooooooh, my little Lucas is growing up!" She squeals. "So which one did you set your sights on? Lucina? Charlotte? Falynn? I need DETAILS, Lucas!"

"Ummm, the fact is that there's a bunch of girls with sights on ME." You frown.

"Ooooooh, that's even better!" Mom squeals again.

Yeah, okay, you're not going to be getting any help from her.

"Sorry, I gotta go." You say. "I got a squad meeting to go to."

"Wait!" Mom grabs your hand to stop you. "Lucas, in all seriousness. If you do settle on a girl just... let the other know, okay? It's hard to admit your feelings, and it's even harder when you never even had a chance to."

That sad look in Mom's eyes let's you know she speaking from personal experience. Rather than being her carefree loopy self, she was dead serious.

"Thanks for the advice, Mom. I'll remember it." You say.

You then wave goodbye to both your parents as you rush off for the debriefing.

You get to the briefing room without incident, and you can see that Morgan had definitely talked to Simo, judging from his foul expression. However, he keeps things professional and continues with the debriefing anyways.

So, the next couple of hours goes by as Simo goes over every painstaking second of the operation, as well as what was done right and wrong. With the exception of Falynn's off target jump, the insertion was nearly flawless. However, he had more than a few words to say to you, Bragg, and Runaround for over committing your runway raid, which nearly got you all and the Viper blown to pieces. He sternly reminded you all that the Viper was not invincible, and that Nemo and the chief mechanic were less than pleased at the condition it was return in. They personally built the thing, after all.

Then he moved on to the intel that Predator had taken. Apparently, what Elizabeth had told him was that the ships were carrying undersea mining equipment, which wasn't surprising, considering undersea mining was all the rage these days. What WAS unusual was the lengths the Empire was going to hide that particular shipment. The only reason legitimate civilian cargo ships would be docking in a pirate base would be if they didn't want to be spotted in a foreign port. However, Intelligence was still investigating.

He then mentioned that due to events going on between Emmeria and its southern neighbor Erusea, the Demons would be deployed to assist the Emmerian-allied nation San Salvacion, which was located between the two power blocs.

"And lastly." Simo sighed. "I have one more announcement to make. Morgan, if you would come up to the front."

With that, Morgan stood up from her seat and calmly took position next to Simo.

(cont)

>>27195207
"Okay, team, I'm afraid that we haven't been entirely truthful with you." Simo motions to Morgan. "Morgan is a girl, which is a fact that we had covered up for security reasons. From now on she should be recognized and treated as any other female member of the squad."

The majority of the squad is understandably shocked, with everybody glancing at each other and mumbling, except for Charlotte and Sparky, who lean back in their seats confident.

"Fucking called it." They both said in unison.

"Okay okay, QUIET DOWN." Simo scowls. "Don't ask me why we did this. Orders straight from the top. If you got a problem take it up with Jager and Sam. Now get your stuff packed and ready to go. We'll be shipping out first thing tomorrow."

With that, Simo stomps out, Bragg following close behind. Meanwhile, the rest of the Wraiths crowd around Morgan, asking her various questions.

At this point, there was a bit of a mini mob swarming around Morgan, and you could tell she was being a bit overwhelmed.

"Okay, everyone, that's enough. We've got a big day tomorrow, and I'm sure you've got plenty of time for questions when we're on the way to San Salvacion." You say, putting yourself between Morgan and everybody else.

Assaulted by your reasonableness, the other Wraiths begin to disperse. There was a lot to pack, after all.

"Thanks." Morgan smiles.

"It's no problem." You shrug. "So how do you feel?"

"Liberated." Morgan closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. "Like a huge weight got taken off my chest."

"I'm sure it does." You nod.

"So... uh... I got a question." Morgan shuffles nervously.

"Okay..." You say, wary of what she might try to ask of you. If it was THE question, you totally weren't ready for that...

"D-do you think I should grow out my hair?" She asks. "I'm not too big a fan of the whole tomboy thing..."

"Me too." You nod.

--------------------------------------------

The next day seems to come before you know it. However, rather than gather at the port, Simo instructed you and the Wraiths to gather at the airfield instead. That made you wonder, since most large scale deployments were done by ship instead of by plane.

Nonetheless, you just wait patiently on the runway until something catches your eye. One of the planes, a Falcon, looked a bit different from the others. It was no longer painted the standard Demon black and red. Instead it looked...

IT'S YELLOW. A HIDEOUS SHADE OF YELLOW WITH GREY, RED AND BLACK STRIPES ON THE TAIL. ALSO THERE IS A 12 ON THE TAIL.

They were always here. They were just biding their time.

You realize that you're not the only person ogling at the newly painted plane. Some of the other Wraiths, and literally all of the pilots present were gathered around it. Upon closer inspection, you see seven plane silhouettes painted on the side, signifying seven kills. The pilot of this plane had apparently just made ace.

"Oh, hey Lucas!" You turn to see Lara behind you. "Whatcha doing?"

"Aw just admiring this plane." You grin. "The first time I've seen a custom painted one like that."

"Oh yeah, took the ground crew all night to get it ready before we had to ship out, but I think they did a real good job on my plane!"

Wait.. HER plane...?

"Lara..."

"I'm an ace!" Lara beams. "Edge says I'm an Ace in a Day. Got the five kills in one mission! Well, to be fair, those enemy planes were kinda cruddy, but they're still kills!"

Your mouth just opens and closes without any sound. Here was your sister, barely out of her first mission and already an ace. Maybe the sky really was her calling.

"Oh, and I got a new callsign, too!" She grins, "Mobius, because my kill streak just wouldn't end! Anyways, it's way better than my old one."

"Oh, what was it?" You ask.

"Promise you won't laugh?"

"Promise."

"Well..." Lara bites her lip. "During training the others took to calling me Blueberry."

>[laughing intensifies]
>Okay, that's pretty funny.
>I'm gonna punch every last one of them.

We're only 8 threads in. The waifuing in VMQ1 was relatively discrete, and not "MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE WAIFU OPTION!" which looks like where we're headed this time around.
