Fuck presidentiality and sundress season, it’s time for practicality.

You take a quick shower then get yourself dressed. Come to think of it, the alternatives are the only other clothes you’ve actually brought aboard. You need to remind yourself to buy more clothes, because that’s what girls do. Now it was time for this girl to find some tanks.

Just incase you need some long-range spotting, you also decide on bringing Grandpa’s binocs. Hopefully 70 years of disuse hasn’t affected it none.

Now it was time to hunt for tanks, for serious.

Actually, it’d probably be a good idea to wake your best good friend Kitten. There’s no way in hell she’d ever willingly wake up this early.

What shall you do?

> Go hunting for tanks.
> Wake Kitten.

>>27864254
>> Wake Kitten.
Rise and shine!

>>27864254
Wake Kitten.
As obnoxiously upbeat as possible.

>>27864281
> Wake Kitten.

Welp, time to go wake up the cat then.

Your dorm is only a floor above her’s so it’s not the biggest walk. Room 16 on the ground floor of the dorm building was where she was based out of. If you know anything about Kitten, she’s probably asleep after a night’s gaming.

Nerd.

You give a quick knock on her door. Nothing.

You knock again. Still no response.

You’ve got a couple options here.

> Break into her dorm. Not the first time you’ve done it, certainly not the last.
> Keep knocking on her door. The repetition will rouse her like a bedbug infestation.
> Call her on her cellphone. Probably the most sensible option but then again sensible was kind of boring.

Eh, carpe diem.

With all the might of a 16-year old schoolgirl, you kick the door in.

> You broke into Kitten’s home.

“KITTEN! IT’S YOUR BEST GOOD FRIEND!” You shout as you walk inside.

Like your dorm, Kitten’s place was empty save for the desk which housed her gaming computer and things like the bed or the kitchen. Unlike your place though, it was sparkling clean. Kitten liked things clean, and whenever she wasn’t gaming or sleeping, she was cleaning something.

Of course she wasn’t cleaning now, she was fast asleep at her desk, clad in her school uniform, her long brown hair rustled around her, apparently not having been woken by your break in.

“Kitten,” you shake her shoulder. No response.

“Kitten,” you say again. Still no response. You decide to break out the big guns.

“Carol Smith!” Kitten immediately shoots up from her desk and into the floor.

“I’mawakeI’mawakewhatsita-“ her face of panic is quickly replaced by indifference when she realizes you’re standing over her. “Oh, it’s Lara Croft. You come here to fulfill my repressed homosexuality?”

“Yeah, Kitten. I’m Lara Croft, and I’m here to fuck your brains out until you turn straight from sheer exhaustion.”

Kitten scoffs. “Funny.” She stands up, and immediately the height you hold over her becomes clear. Almost a full seven inches. Of course you’d never tease her about her height, that’s middle school stuff. Her hobbies were fair game though. She looks past you at her door. “You break my door again?”

“Yep.”

“I have to get that fixed you know?”

“Yep.”

She sighs, wiping her eyes. “Let me guess, you’re here because we need to go find tanks.”

“Yep.”

“Great. Fine. Let’s go.” She dusts herself off and follows your lead out the door. As you head outside, Kitten instinctively raises her arm over her eyes. The sun is an evil mistress to the unprepared.

Now it was time to call up your staff and find out where you all would meet.

Time to call up your ever punctual Latina. You gesture Kitten to follow you as you take out your cellphone and dial her number.

She answers. “Hey, Prez.”

“Ramirez, good to hear from you. Where are we all meeting?”

“Uh, over at Lake de Grasse. Nancy already brought us some breakfast. Lisa ain’t here yet though but she says she’ll be soon.”

“Righto, talk to you later.” You hang up.

Kitten trails next to you, slouching and slacking like any good nerd. “So,” she says. “That your staff?”

“Yep. To be honest, I don’t actually know them all that much. We only know each other from last year’s elections.”

Kitten nods. “Are they nice?”

“Of course they’re nice! Nancy in particular is a real doll. Lisa and Ramirez are pretty chill too from what I can understand. Hell, they’re probably the best damn staff a girl can ask for!”

Kitten nods, breaking into a slight smile. “So I hear.”

> Kitten will remember that.

“Anyway, we gotta head up to Lake de Grasse, that’s where we’re meeting,” you say. Kitten’s smile immediately fades.

“That’s too far…” she mumbles.

“It’s only a half mile.”

“A half mile too far.”

You sight. “You know, it’s conversations like this that make me wonder why you’re not totally fat.”

“Gotta be cute for the internet.”

“Figures. But come on, Nancy’s a real good cook. She’s got breakfast prepared for us.”

Kitten simply grunts. You decide to let it rest for now. You’re on the hunt for tanks, the most womanly thing anyone could imagine. Nothing can stop you now.

Well except for those five freshmen who look lost yet again.

“Hey girls!” you call out. They all look at you and immediately recognize you.

“Hey, it’s that helpful girl from yesterday!” one of them cries. They all rush across the street and pretty much swarm you with attention and cries for help. You’re just drowning in pussy right now.

That same girl waves off the others and offers her hand. “We didn’t introduce ourselves last time. I’m Cathy. Those girls are Ashleigh, Tabitha, Tara, and Andrea. It’s so nice to meet you. What's your name?”

“My name is Gertrude Pool.” You shake her hand. The freshmen are all smiles and sunshine. Oh, innocence. A year of being on academy ship with no men will turn them into women, or lesbians.

“Hey,” Andrea speaks up. “Aren’t you the Sophomore class president?”

You nod. Modesty was the best policy. “I am, actually.”

Ashleigh says, “That’s so cool! Do you like, get to choose where the schoolship goes?”

“No, that’s the senior President’s job.” Much as you hated having to say it, it really was. TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. “You girls look like you needed help with something.”

Cathy nods. “Yeah, we were looking for the Club Fair.”

Oh freshmen. “That’s not until School starts on September 3rd.”

All of them go, “ooooooohhhhh…” Ashleigh says, “we’re stupid.”

Cathy nervously chuckles. “Well, I suppose that’s out of the way. What are you up to?”

“Well…” you begin. “Me and my best good friend here were actually on our way to look for tanks!”

A couple of whispers and gasps. You’ve got them. “Actually,” you continue, “You girls think you can help me with that? We can talk shop about the new Tankery Club I’m opening up this year.”

Tara says, “Tankery? Isn’t that for dykes?”

Kitten coughs. “Actually, it’s just a woman dominated sport, lesbianism has nothing to do with…” the attention from you and the curious freshmen who look like they finally noticed her gradually shuts her up. “… yeah.”

You clear your throat. “Yeah, my best good friend Kitten is right. I won’t sugarcoat it though. It’ll involve a lot of manual labor. You girls in or out?”

They look pensive. After a moment, Cathy speaks up. “I’ll do it.”

Tara and Andrea immediately follow her lead. “We’ll do it too.”

Ashleigh nods. “Sure, could be fun.”

Tabitha looks unmoved. “Eh. Whatever, I’ll do it too.”

“So, you girls have an easy time getting on Lafayette?”

Cathy seems to be the spokesperson for the group, as the rest of them simply talk amongst themselves, with Kitten trailing close behind. Cathy says, “Oh, it was a hell of a thing. First you have to go through MEPS, then you have to sign waivers, and pass all kinds of physicals, not to mention the entrance exams. It’s real lucky all five of us got in.”

Andrea says, “We wanted to go to Adna Chaffee Academy but their exams were way too rigorous. Tara wanted to go to that tech school Walter Christie but she got waitlisted.”

“Waitlisting,” you say, shaking your head. “Always a killer.”

“Still,” Cathy says, “it’s a great opportunity being on an Academyship. And we’re real lucky to have run into you.”

“Oh, we were all freshmen once,” you say. “Hopefully your stay at Lafayette is a good one.” You immediately want to take those words back. Too late now though.

Lake de Grasse was now just up ahead. It was a large lake in a park made for the people living on Lafayette. All kinds of people were going about their day, students, dependents, faculty, the lot. You could clearly see Nancy and Ramirez who were staring intently at the lake, discussing something out of earshot.

“Nancy, Ramirez!” you call out as your group approaches. They look at you and are instantly surprised at the gaggle of freshmen following you. “Girls, this is ‘Kitten’ Smith my best good friend. These-“ you gesture to the freshmen, “girls are our new crew. Cathy, Tara, Andrea, Ashleigh, and Tabitha.”

Ramirez nods in a “not bad” sort of way. Nancy immediately gets to work shaking everyone’s hands and in general just being nice. You walk up to Ramirez and ask, “what’s with you guys staring at the lake?”

Ramirez says, as if nothing is wrong with it, “There’s a tank in the lake.”

Your mood picks up. You’ve already got a tank, even though it’s at the bottom of a lake. “Really! Great!” Your mood gradually drops. “… how the fuck are we gonna get it out?”

Ramirez shrugs. “Dunno.”

You ask, “How did you even find it?”

“Long story. Let’s just say I accidentally pushed Nancy in, she was under for a minute, and she came up and said, ‘there’s a tank in the lake.’”

“… that wasn’t long at all.”

Ramirez shrugs. “If I knew, I’d tell you. Apparently she was in talks with Principal Tennyson last night, said she wanted to bring something that might help.”

Your stomach growls before you can continue.

Ramirez nods over to a nearby picnic table. “Food’s over there. It’s pancakes.”

How the fuck did Nancy make pancakes all the way outside? Whatever, time for pancakes. You quickly take up a hot plate and begin chowing down. In the middle of your feast, you think to get Nancy.

“Nancy!” you say, with spittles of syrup and pancake coming out, “did you see what tank it was?”

Nancy stops her meet and greet and says, “I only saw a bit of it, and I don’t know anything about tanks.”

That figures. But as soon as you go back to your pancakes, the ground starts rumbling. You quickly turn to see what it is.

“What the hell…” You say.

It was Lisa poking her head out of an Armored Recovery Vehicle.

The ARV stops just short of the lake. She now has everyone’s attention. She looks pretty proud of herself as she climbs out of the hatch. Up until she trips and falls to the ground. She quickly gets up, no worse for wear.

Man, things are escalating quickly.

You walk up to her and say, “Hey, Lisa.”

Lisa, looking still incredibly proud of herself, says, “Well howdy, Boss. You’re looking just dandy today!”

Time to confront the elephant in the room. “So what the fuck is that thing?”

“Principal Tennyson tells me it’s a Bergepanzer III, some kind of German recovery vehicle. Naval studies has been using it transport cargo along with the Dragon Wagon which should be coming up soon along with a crane. Really though I got a lot to tell you.”

You invite her over to the table. Everyone else is ogling the Bergepanzer, apparently never having seen something so big up close. “Shoot.”

“Okay, first things first, budget. Tennyson is giving us 20,000 dollars to help start the Tankery team.”

> + 20,000 DOLLARS

You nearly choke on your pancakes. 20,000 Dollars.

“Secondly, Tennyson’s registering us in the World Tournament, that’s coming up in October. Since we’re now technically a sports team, that means we can use the school sports field anytime we want.

“Thirdly, I went on the internet and found a site that sells tanks for cheap. I’ve narrowed down a couple of possibilities. Just tell me when and I’ll send you a link with the tanks.”

You nod. That’s a lot to swallow.

> Dig the tank out of the lake.

“Welp, let’s get to work.” You walk up to the group. They all look at you expectantly. “Girls, we got our work cut out for us today. We got five tanks to recover now. One of which is in the lake, the other four are somewhere around the entire ship’s surface. Lisa, you did a good job driving here, you handle that. Nancy, I want you to handle controls for the winch. Ramirez, take your clothes off, you’re going diving.”

Ramirez nods and immediately starts stripping to her underwear.

You look over at Kitten. “Kitten, you actually know something about tanks. So you’re gonna take the freshmen and start scouting.”

Kitten looks over at the freshmen, who look very unimpressed at Kitten. She then looks back to you nervously. “Are you sure?”

“Positive.” You hand her a map of the ship. “Just mark down nearby landmarks if you can’t make out exact location. We’ll figure out the rest. Any questions?”

“… yeah… can I have a job that doesn’t involve people?” Kitten asks.

> Yeah (Specify what job.)

>>27866805

>>27866805

>>27866816

“Kitten, this’ll be a lovely experience. Maybe you’ll make some friends!”

Kitten crosses her arms, puffing airs. “… I have you don’t I? Isn’t that enough?”

Aw, she’s making you blush. “Oh stop it.” You ruffle her hair. “Look, they’ll clamor to you for information on a tank. They’re already your underclassmen. I’m sure you can do it.”

“But-“

“Do it for me?” you ask. Kitten looks conflicted, and then is finally defeated.

“Okay,” she says softly.

You pat her on the shoulder then send her away. The six of them call a taxi and soon enough, they’re away to find new tanks. Now you had to recover this one. Ramirez was already in the drink. You climb up into the superstructure of the Panzer III next to Nancy.

“Hey, President,” she says. You look over. She looks very uncharacteristically worried. “When we get all the tanks, do you really think we have a shot at winning the tournament?”

“Of course, Nancy. Anybody can win anything as long as they put their minds to it. You scared?”

“A bit. I mean, I know nothing about tanks. I’m not sure you know anything about tanks. All the other schools…” She sighs, but then breaks into a smile. “But you’re right. We might have a shot.”

Ramirez surfaces, giving a thumbs up. Nancy begins pulling, along with Lisa driving backwards very slowly. Slowly but surely, you can begin to make out a shape in the water, rising up. It breaks out of the water. Past all the water and brown rust you can make out green. Water seeps out of a couple holes, and as it continues to rise it’s obvious what tank it is.

You say, “It’s an M4 Sherman.”

In all it’s welded hull, 75mm, gasoline rusted engine glory.

> TANK UNLOCKED: M4 SHERMAN (VINTAGE)

Ramirez stands by the Bergepanzer III and asks, “You guys got a towel?” Lisa tosses her one out of the hatch.

Lisa climbs up to you guys. She looks at her watch and says, “Dragon Wagon should be here soon.”

You nod. “Great. We’re making progress.”

That's why you have to avoid getting spotted in one. Sure, it'll lose in a slugging match, but it shouldn't be getting into a slugging match. It should be skulking around and fucking shit up with it's gun.

No. T-44s and T-54s are probably our best bet for a medium tank wolf pack style.

Incidentally, those things are cheap as fuck since they're 40 year old hand me downs through god knows how many successor states during the Cold War/now.

>those things are cheap as fuck since they're 40 year old hand me downs through god knows how many successor states during the Cold War/now.
In real life. But in a world where tanking is a competitive sport, you can bet those things aren't anywhere near as common.

>>27867350
The Sherman, if we can get it to later versions with the 76mm and wet storage is a perfectly fine medium. The Firefly is very distinctive and will get targeted, along with some issues it had after to much firing.

“Great job, crew.” Everyone looks sufficiently happy, now that progress has been made.

“So, Boss,” Lisa asks, “you actually know what tank that is?”

“Of course! It’s an M4 Sherman. You never watched war movie before? These things take the piss out of German tanks. You know, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Kelly’s Heroes.”

Lisa and Nancy glance at each other, then back at you. Yeah, they got no idea what you’re talking about.

TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. “Eh… anyway… Lisa, what’s the price on those tanks on the internet?”

Lisa smiles. “I narrowed down five good looking tanks for under 20,000 and as low as 100 dollars. Admittedly, I really chose based on looks, but I’m sure they’re fine. They also got conversion kits and stuff like that too. We can also visit Mr. Mishka at his Tank Shop for that stuff too.”

“Great.” At this point, Ramirez climbs in, now fully clothed. “So how are the tanks going to be fixed?” you ask.

Lisa looks over at the Dragon Wagon now coming into the park. “Naval Studies Engineering Students. Tennyson says they’re going to be drafted as our maintenance crew. They’ll be repairing our tanks for free in exchange for extra credit.”

You nod, satisfied. “You’re really on top of things, Lisa.”

Lisa nods. “Of course, my parents are bankers, I always have to be on top with things involving money.”

…

Lisa sighs. “Yes, I’m aware of how stereotypical that sounds. Let’s not bring it up again, okay?”

Your cellphone rings. It’s Kitten.

mostly because we outnumbered them. Heavily.

They could tackle Panthers as well, but with heavier losses.

Later models did so a couple times, but it was always hairy.
And yeah, they can bend PzKpfW IVs over the table, but judging by Black Forest peak's loadout, we're likely to run up against a lot of the stuff the Germans were never able to produce in sufficient quantities to turn the tide of the war.

We don't have a late model though. We have an early model. You know. The tinderbox.

>>27867595

Sadly, the Super Sherman is probably against the rules. Even though I would support htis course of action if we could. Make Lisa the Commander of it.
>>27867610
Rocket racks would be completely pointless. We had enough of this argument in the OTHER GuP quest, go there if you want the reasons.
>>27867575
Good point. We should at least see what model it is. Could be a hidden gem.

>>27867660
I think the point is we can likely upgrade it to a late model with enough effort.

>>27867660
Well maybe assault guns, but dedicated arty like M41s are probably a no-no for safety concerns (crew exposed).

>>27867660
It's a assault gun, not arty.

And once again the idiots come out of the woodwork. It's indirect short-range artillery. Their commander used it as such and was widely successful. Then he got attached to infantry and their commander saw armour in their name and went full retard, using them as assault guns.

And once again it's classified as a assault gun, doesn't matter how effective or how they used it, it's a Assault gun.

“Alright, Kitten, you stay there. We’ll come to you.”

“Righto, I’ll send you our GPS coordinates. It looks like it’s stuck in the ground anyway.”

Ah, the GPS coordinates app for the iPhone, always good to have it.

“Lisa, bring us over to these coordinates.”

Lisa quickly goes down into the tank, “Yeah, Boss!”

One thing you had to note. The Bergepanzer III on the move was loud as fuck. Thankfully you were quite used to loud noises thanks to having a little sister raised in the 00s with iPhones, stereos, and video games.

You let the chilled wind breeze through your hair as the Bergepanzer III moves down the roads of the Academyship. Onlookers gawk not at the schoolgirls, but at the ARV.

An old lady waves out her window. “Very nice! A Bergepanzer III! If I were you, I’d convert it into a StuG III soon as possible!”

You wave back. “Okay!”

You start getting out of town and move into the farms where food is grown. Soon enough, by the side of the road, you can see Kitten waving to you. She flags the Bergepanzer III down into the field and towards the BT-42.

You shout over the side. “Hey, Kitten! Is the BT-42 a good tank?”

Kitten shouts back. “No!”

Well, at least she was honest.

As the Bergepanzer III began wresting the BT-42 free of the ground, you decide a conversation with Kitten is in order.

“So Kitten, how are the freshmen treating you?”

She says, “Oh, they’re just fine and dandy. Talking about stuff that I really couldn’t give two shits about like the latest talk on Ryan Gosling or the Kardashians and stuff like that. Girl stuff to be specific.”

You snicker. “Now Kitten, ain’t anything wrong with being a girl. There’s just different ways of being girls.”

Kitten nods. “That’s deep.”

“Not really.” Her eyes widen, she realizes something. “What tank did you guys dig up?”

“An M4 Sherman.”

“Ah, like an A1? Or an E8?”

“… noooo?”

Kitten nods, understanding. “I see. I suppose there’s room for improvement.”

The BT-42 is free, and it’s now easy to see why it refuses to move. It’s missing a track.

“Anyway, Kitten. Go ahead and keep looking. We’ll stay here and wait for the Navy kids.”

Kitten nods. She and the freshmen leave the scene for their taxi. Probably would be cheaper to just buy a car or something.
