You open the door and raise your arms in the air. “Girls! Good to see you!” You yawn deeply. “Oh shit, last night was a killer. You could say I went right into the Danger Zone.”

Nancy smiles. “Well, I’m glad you’re ready and willing at least!”

“Yep,” you say. “We’re all here and ready for school. Nancy, Lisa, Ramirez and… Kitten?”

Kitten nods to you, looking sleepy as all hell. “Morning, Trudy.”

“… What are you doing this early in the morning?” you ask, a confused look on your face.

Kitten says, “I’ve signed up for a Radio Operation class, it’s a lecture sort of presentation if you’d believe that.”

“Oooh! So you’re finally getting out and doing stuff!” You hug Kitten, giddy. “This is great!”

“Mind you, it’s only for the mornings and once I’m done, I’m heading right back home.”

“It’s a start.”

Lisa nods. “Anyway, let’s get rolling.”

“So, Kitten, when were you going to tell me about this?” you ask.

Kitten says, “At some point in the future. At least now saves me the trouble of having to bring it up.”

Lisa says, “Radio Operation classes though are mostly for Naval Studies Students who want to get their certifications.” She asks Kitten, “You getting certified?”

“If it comes to it,” says Kitten, yawning. “Oh Christ, I’m tired.”

You say, “Hey, it’ll pass once you start getting used to waking up in the morning, Kitten!” You pat her on the back. “Just think of all the people you’ll meet in school!”

“You say that as if I’ll actually make more friends.”

Nancy says, “Now, Kitten. There’s nothing wrong with making high expectations.”

“Anyway,” you say. “School’s school. You’re getting out and getting active and that’s great. Soon, you’ll be having jobs, then you’ll be paying rent, it’ll be a real hell of a thing!”

With that, you arrive at the campus entrance. You check the time, and find that you have plenty of time before class.

You enter the school library. You find that it’s a quiet, organized, and very good place to read your books, which you do. You snap open My Tank Is Fight! and begin reading through it once more. You skim through pages you’ve already read through, but more or less it still holds your attention to a good degree. Though, you kinda want to read something else at this point.

> “My Tank is Fight!” Progress: 180% (COMPLETED)

You bookmark the page then check the time. Still a fair amount of time before you need to head to class. You on decide on browsing some of the school’s wares. Nothing really important about tanks, but you decide that it might be worth coming back to later.

> Head to Class

You sit down in Math Class. Unfortunately, all the shore leave and the extra sleep that came with hasn’t exactly helped your ability to stay awake or stay focused in math class. Soon, the Professor taps you on the head lightly after you nod off, eliciting a couple of giggles from the other girls. Gee, thanks Professor. Besides that, you’re also assigned your homework for the night.

English class is a little more lazy friendly however. The Professor has put on a very strange adaptation of MacBeth starring Sir Patrick Stewart in a strange version of Soviet Russia with the original Shakespearean English intact. You can’t complain though, at least it’s somewhat cool to watch.

You lean back, yawning a little. You look around and see other students not really paying attention, on their laptops or phones, while others take notes attentively. You understand the Professor is only putting the movie on because it is the first day right after Shore Leave. Of course nobody’s gonna pay attention.

You think, maybe you should do something.

You pull out your laptop and like the good little girl you are, you decide on taking some notes. You don’t actually know what the hell you’re going to be taking notes on, but hell, you just write down what happens in the scene and some shit about inner symbolism.

With that, the bell rings and it’s time for Chemistry.

Surprisingly enough, it’s actually time for a lab in Chemistry. Specifically having to do with different acids and bases. Unfortunately, like the rest of Chemistry, it proves to be intensely boring. Thankfully however your group at least gets the job done and it looks like your lab work will turn into an easy A at least.

With that, it’s time for lunch.

You quickly grab your free meal, a ham sandwich with a banana and a carton of milk. Nothing too special but it’s a healthy meal nonetheless. You sit down next to Nancy and across from Lisa and Ramirez. Lisa is busy reading the school newspaper, freshly published.

“Hey, where’s Kitten?” you ask.

Nancy says, “She went home after her Radio Ops class ended.”

You pout. “Oh. I wanted to have lunch with her.”

Lisa grunts. “Persevere, Boss.” She turns the page and finds something not to her liking. “Oh, look at this.”

You look over at Lisa’s paper to see the article on Lafayette’s Tankery Program. Like any other school newspaper, it’s incredibly wordy with lots of words that high schoolers use but don’t fully understand. However, you can make out the gist of it.

You frown angrily. “I can’t believe it. They don’t like us.”

Lisa says, “I know! Accusing us of embezzling funds, training an ineffective team, having no idea what we’re doing-“

You say, “Admittedly, that is kind of true.”

“Still,” says Lisa, angrily. “And look at this. The article says it wouldn’t be surprising if a Recall Election is called.”

You flush white. “Recall?”

Nancy nods. “Recall. You can win a Recall Election easy though, right?”

“Of course I can!” You swallow your intense fear of the Recall Election. “I mean, it’s just a Recall Election, who’s really going to run against me?”

Lisa say bluntly, “Says here it’s one of last year’s candidates. Jeannette Rankin.”

“Ah, her.” You remember that you barely won over last year’s election against Rankin by a margin of 2%. “I can beat her easy!”

Lisa shrugs. “Well, hopefully you do, otherwise our budget will go down the shitter and most likely the Tankery Team goes with it.”

You say, “Gee, Lisa. Thanks for your optimism.”

“Hey, I’m just being realistic,” she says as she tosses the paper away. Nothing else interesting to read anyway. “Anyway, if it does come to Recall, we will help you to the best of our abilities. That’s what a staff does.”

Nancy nods. “Lisa’s right! This here’s a crew. We can make it through it!”

“Thanks guys,” you say. “Couldn’t have asked for a better staff than you all.”

Ramirez says, “You probably could have.”

Because metagaming. We might as well find out whether these perks are worth it.

> Read a Book (Specify)

You decide on finishing up your second read-through of My Tank is Fight! As your staff casually talks amongst itself, you skim through the last pages of the books easily. You put the book down and think. Interesting book on prototypes and how they failed. Then you have an epiphany, of sorts.

MY TANK IS FIGHT! PERK UNLOCKED: Buying a Chassis will automatically come with Improved Suspension and Applique Armor upon conversion.

You look at the time, ooh, time for Gym class. Before you head out, Lisa stops you.

“Oh, Boss. Forgot to tell you. The Museum at Casablanca just sent their first regular sponsorship money. It’s 5,000 Dollars but it’s a start.”

You nod. “Thanks, Lisa.”

> + 5,000 DOLLARS

It's girls having tank battles on gargantuan ships. Do you really believe high school girls can carry out track maintenance on a heavy tank?

we usually needed around 4-6 grown pretty buff men to do it rapidly

>>28882897
It has to fit the context of the book. If we read something by Guderian or Manstein then we'd get those perks. What we just read is nothing like that.

>>28882960
Yeah, but how does knowing about wacky prototypes bend the physical universe in our favour?
It's not even something mechanic related, like re-rolling dice or whatever, it just feels so ..wrong

>>28882983
Think of it as knowing how to convert things better than we should.

Yes we read the book not the people but just assume we point out ways to do it better to them out of thread.

>>28882983
Like I said before, how to not fuck things up when upgrading a tank.

>>28882827

> Laps

You whistle along as students simply fly past you, exhausted from doing four or five laps around the gymnasium. You count that you’ve just done the twentieth lap so far. You check your pulse, beating at a good rhythm.

You then run up to the Coach, calculating the current laps. “20 laps, Pool. Not bad,” she says.

You nod, running in place to keep the energy. “Thanks, Coach.”

“I didn’t say stop.”

With that, you continue running all the way to your forty eighth lap. With that, you consider yourself done with Gym for today. You start on your shower, whistling a little tune, then Willie Hanna comes over to strike up conversation.

“Hey, Hanna, what’s up?”

“Not much, Gertrude. It’s been a while, spent all of Shore Leave working and the like.”

You nod. “Cool.”

“Anyway, Gertrude, I said I’d repay you for helping me get into the Animation Club so I decided to scrape together some funds from my webseries.”

You blink. “Oh?”

This is actually a good idea. The newspaper turning out to be an instrument for Fredendall to continue her vendetta bodes ill. Countering that with a new media campaign could be very useful, and we still need more crews. It's probably a better investment in the long-term than anything that money could buy right now.

Not a chance. Wasting money on this would only make us look bad - put it into the tankery team, or our school year

>>28883216
We should keep in mind she might not personally have the time to do this. Maybe ask about commissioning the animation club as a whole instead, including pitching in more money if needed.

>>28883211
Considering that the Jew treasurer has probably kept meticulous records of every bit of income and spending, I don't think Fredendal can build a case against us to justify the recall.

>>28883280
technically, its not our money yet. Its Hanna's, so we can't accused to 'waste' it.

>>28883297
Good point, hopefully it won't cost us too much if that the case.

>>28883280
Recruitment is absolutely a valid expenditure for clubs, and letting Fredendall have her own way with public opinion is an invitation for sudden disaster. She's been catching the group flat-footed away too often; taking some actual initiative against her is going to be necessary.

> Other

“Actually, better idea. I was wondering if maybe you could do some little cartoons and the like for our Tankery Program?”

Hanna nods. “Oh yeah, I can totally do that! I’ll see if I can get the other animation girls aboard too, it’d be a real burden off my back honestly speaking.”

You say, “Thanks, I could really use the positive PR you know, considering there might be a Recall Election soon.”

“Oh, right. Read the paper today. For what it’s worth I don’t believe it.”

“Yeah, thanks for that.”

“Anyway,” she says. “I suppose I can hold the donation for now. But I’ll see what I can do with cartoons I suppose.”

“Great.”

With that, shower time is over and it’s time for History. You turn in your completed paper to the Professor and then sit down for class. Thankfully, it’s only a short little documentary today on the Roman Empire.

> Watch the Movie

You watch the Documentary attentively. It mostly deals with Emperor Caligula and his infamous crazy rule over the Roman Empire, of his crazy antics, and how he eventually met his end at the hand of the Praetorian Guard.

Of course, you also pay close attention to Caligula’s one bright spark in his rule. The invention of the Academyship. Granted, Academyships in that time were very small in comparison to say, Heinlein Academy, and they didn’t really work well. However, the Documentary does assert that this invention did have a lasting influence and ensured that Caligula would at least be remembered for something other than his love for horses.

With that, class is over. Theatre moves by pretty quickly as the Professor lectures on the class on proper stage direction, which way to move about the stage when a play is running, etc. Informative stuff, kind of boring, but you learn. Might be handy for the Play as well.

You also breeze by French, noting tomorrow is a Quiz. Probably nothing special but it’d help to study perhaps.

With that, classes are over for the day.

> Go Somewhere (Groceries)

You decide on heading out and buying some groceries on the way home. You’re going to pack light though, the tank is at the Sports Warehouse and you don’t particularly feel like making two trips. Who makes two trips with groceries anyway?

You enter in the grocery store and look around. Fruits, veggies, meat, OOH CANDY! No, you don’t need Candy. Much as you’d like it. You grab up a basket and start browsing the aisles for some healthy stuff to eat in the mornings and evenings. You scratch your chin, thinking on it.

Eh, whatever. You grab some milk and a new box of cereal. That should last you a good week. What else should you buy? You only have room for three items, at least comfortably three items.

Welp, time to eat HEALTHY! You pack those three items away and get to checkout. The freshmen manning the checkout line quickly scans your items, and you pay out of your pocket for this stuff.

“Oh, if you’d like, we also have a cookbook on sale!” The freshmen holds up a VERY big cookbook entitled, “Anyone Can Cook.” You purse your lips. Tempting.

“Hell, sure, why not?”

You pay for the cookbook as well, and then thank the Freshman for the food. With that you leave the Supermarket and head on to the park to relax a bit. Getting this milk to a fridge can wait. You sit down on a bench and yawn, then pull out your phone and start goofing off. It’s these days you should consider getting a twitter or something, if only to assuage the boredom when you’re alone.

You also flip through a few pages of Anyone Can Cook. If that were true, you wouldn’t be feared by kitchen architects and cooks worldwide. You chuckle, maybe you can give Kitten this book and see if she can cook something.

Kitten cooking.

… Wow, you actually can’t imagine that as well as you think can.

Of course, a few things to remember, they’re probably holding rehearsals right now, but do you REALLY want to go back after leaving it?

Maybe you could also drop by the bookstore.

Or hell, visit Ramirez’s boyfriend’s barbershop.

> Go Somewhere (Rehearsals)

You’re torn between wanting to get a haircut and wanting to go to Rehearsals, but you think better of it and head to Rehearsals. You take your groceries with you, it’s not like the milk will spoil if you leave it out the entire day. You open the doors to the auditorium to see the very basic workings of a rehearsal: The line reading.

You find a seat next to Octavia, who’s at a table reading along to the actors read off their lines, a bit mechanically but emotion can be saved for later. Now is the time for memorization, and then onto blocking.

“Hey, Gertrude.”

“Octavia,” you greet. You look over and wave at Kitten eagerly. She smiles back at you as she looks up from her script. “So, what’s up, Octavia?”

“Just doing a Line Reading. Gotta iron out the kinks as all. What’s up with you?”

“Oh, I’m just dandy, Octavia. I’m getting things done! Just looking to see what I can do with the play today.”

Octavia nods. “Well, it’s mostly line readings at the moment, I assume you don’t have any objections with the script right?”

“Nah, it’s good.”

“Well,” Octavia says, “Director has final say on the overall theme of the play. We could do this light-hearted or do it grimdark for all I care.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Doesn’t the script say all that?”

“In theory yes, but directors usually like to try and apply their own flavor to it. I don’t mind if you want to try something different with the play, just tell me now so we won’t have you going on about it later,” says Octavia.

“Alright,” you pick a script and look through it.

“I’m serious, what kind of direction do you want?” she says, harshly. “Because if you come to me right before dress rehearsal saying everything is wrong I’m going to skullfuck you.”

“Let’s go with comedy. I like comedies. Starship Troopers was a pretty good comedy.”

Octavia raises an eyebrow. “How do you do comedy with Red Dawn: The Musical?”

“Isn’t the fact that it’s a musical a comedy in itself?”

Octavia snickers. “Okay, you got a point. Fine, we’ll take a more comedic approach with that.” She turns to the actors. “You girls get that?” They all say yes. She turns back to you. “Alright, Red Dawn: The Musical is now a comedy.”

You smile. “Great. Let’s read some lines.”

With that, you spend the rest of rehearsal practicing through the lines. You also coordinate with Octavia and Theatre Tech on certain backstage stuff like when to draw curtains, when to give lights, and who to put spotlights on during musical numbers.

With that, rehearsal is finished. Octavia bids you farewell and heads home. Kitten comes up to you. “Hey, Trudy.”

“Kitten, loved you in your role!”

“Yeah, laugh it up, wiseguy. What do you want to do?”

> Go Somewhere (Barbershop)

The bell rings as you open the door to this very humble looking barbershop, which can only be identified as such thanks to that Barber’s pole and a sign that says, “Gutierrez and Sons.” You’re greeted immediately by Diego.

“Ah, Gertrude! Who’s your friend?”

You say, “This is Carol. We all call her Kitten.”

He offers his hand, a warm smile on his face. “Carol! Good to meet you.” He frowns however. “Your hair is so long. Here for a cut? Or perhaps a styling?”

Kitten says, “Well we were just-“

Ramirez looks over from her position in one of the barber’s chairs, her hair getting cut a little past shoulder length by a man even bigger than Diego. “Ah, Pres. Good to see you.” The man speaks in rough Spanish to Ramirez, to which she responds also in Spanish. She points to the man, “This is Diego’s father.”

You say, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Gutierrez, I’d like to thank you for your donation to the Tankery Program, means a lot.”

Mr. Gutierrez simply laughs, then slaps your back, shouting something in Spanish. Diego also communicates in the native tongue as well, to which Mr. Gutierrez looks surprised. Mr. Gutierrez then laughs even harder.

Diego holds up some scissors. “So, come to get your haircut today?”

“Sure, I could use just an inch off.” You swish your hair a little. “I like to keep my hair around this length anyway, just a little past my shoulders.”

Diego nods. “And how about Carol?”

You ask, “Kitten, you-“

“Do I have to?” she asks.

You say, “Yes.” Kitten sighs at that, and you continue with, “Your hair’s gonna get long. Longer that hair gets, the more trouble it’ll be to wash and get dry.”

Ramirez speaks mockingly in Spanish to Diego, to which Diego blushes and shouts at her. Ramirez and Mr. Gutierrez simply laugh at his expense. With that, you and Kitten then sit down in chairs, Kitten a little than eager.

Diego scratches his chin, then calls up for someone upstairs. A woman comes down and asks a question to Diego in more Spanish, to which Diego motions to Kitten, speaking in the same language. Diego says, “This is my mother.”

Mrs. Gutierrez apparently has a bit of a squee moment at Kitten’s expense, tugging on her cheek and talking cutesy to her in Spanish. Man, you really wish you knew how to speak Spanish.

With that, Diego starts to work on your hair. He asks you, “So, Gertrude. How are you doing today? I trust you are well?”

“I’m doing well, thank you, Diego. How about you?”

“Oh, doing marvelously. Homecoming last night with Chrysanthemum was amazing!” Ramirez shouts at Diego in more unintelligible Spanish, to which Diego snidely rebuffs her. “She hates that name.”

Mr. Gutierrez simply chuckles, talking mockingly to Ramirez, to which Ramirez simply crosses her arms and pouts. Then Mr. Gutierrez bursts into laughter at that.

You nod. “Yeah, I can tell.”

Kitten says, “Are we done yet?”

You say, “We’ve barely started, Kitten. Persevere.”

Suddenly, your cellphone rings.

“You mind if I take this, Diego?”

He shakes his head. “Not at all, go ahead.”

You answer the phone. “Nancy, what’s up?”

“Hello, President! Just calling to let you know, I’m studying a bit more into Walter Christie to find out what their tanks are like.”

“Really? What have you got?”

“Oh, just two more tanks. Though admittedly, they’re just as strange as the first ones I found out about.”

The matilda hedgehog is a normal matilda with an armored box in the back filled with 7 spigot mortars. Think sherman calliope but with less rocket.

“I will figure something out, Nancy. Rest assured, these scrubs won’t do jack to us.”

“I’ll take your word for it. Anyway, I’ll keep on studying if you need me.”

“Alright, talk to you later, Nancy.” You hang up, and then find that your hair has actually been trimmed down like you wanted. No stray hairs to mar your clothing either. You look up at Diego, smiling. “Thanks, Diego. Looks great!”

Diego nods. “You come back later, yes?”

“Sure. If I got the time.” You look over and quickly a stifle a laugh at Kitten’s expense. She’s simply puffing her cheeks angrily as Mrs. Gutierrez styles her hair into a nice braid, thrown over her right shoulder.

Mrs. Gutierrez claps her hands together, apparently saying “Done” in Spanish you assume. Kitten sighs, then looks up at Mrs. Gutierrez. “Thank you,” she says.

“Kitten?” you say with a sidelong smile on your face. “What do you think?”

“It’s fine, let’s get out of here.”

You shrug, then stand up along with Kitten. You pull out some money for Diego, which he accepts graciously. “Come back, anytime!” he says.

With that, you and Kitten head outside of the shop.

But anon, that's not an AVRE, it's a one-off prototype. The turret couldn't take the recoil, so the gun goes all the way through the tank. It shoots a giant sandbag out the back, so combined ops are kind of a problem. For obvious reasons it never reached production.

Fuck it, now might be a good time to try to learn how to cook. You wrap an apron around yourself, then open up the cookbook to something easy. Fettucine Alfredo, only requires a bit of pasta, some cheese, butter, and maybe a bit of chicken to go along with it. You start setting ingredients down on the counter, whistling innocently until Kitten shows up next to you.

“What the fuck are you doing?” she asks, looking scared out of her mind.

“I’m cooking!” you say, grinning.

“… have you gone mad?” she asks. “Since when did you learn to cook?”

“I didn’t learn to cook,” you point at the cookbook. “I’m LEARNING how to cook.”

Kitten crosses her arms. “Trudy, I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news, but anytime you go near a kitchen with the intent of even microwaving something, something is going to burst into flames.”

You roll your eyes. “Oh, Kitten, you’re worrying too much.” You snap your fingers. “Besdies, Anyone can cook. It’s right there on the cookbook! And you remember Ratatouille?”

“In Ratatouille, it wasn’t that Anyone could cook, it was that a cook could come from anywhere.”

“Precisely why I’m going to cook. Trust me, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Kitten sighs. “Alright, fine, I won’t stop you.” She walks over to the bed, returning to her laptop.

You scoff. Of course you can cook! It’s not like you’re going to die.

Then again, you remember the LAST TIME you tried to cook.

The sirens blare as you, Kitten, and all of the Sophomores in the dorm stand outside, waiting for the Naval Studies Rescue students to declare the area safe. Everyone’s been dragged out of their studying and their free time, complaining about what happened.

You and Kitten simply stand awkwardly by the street.

Kitten says, “I told you, you can’t cook.”

You say, “Okay, I admit. I think I made a slight tactical error.”

“You think?”

Nancy walks up to you, towel wrapped around her incredibly wet body. “I was showering while this happened. You know, if you want to learn how to cook, you can just ask me.”

You nod. “Yeah, thanks, Nancy.”

Lisa comes by as well. “How the fuck did you set your dorm room on fire?”

“I didn’t set my dorm room on fire,” you say harshly. “… just the oven.”

Lisa says, “Well, people are gonna be real pissed.”

With that, the Naval Studies Rescue students, clad in firesuits and helmets walk down the stairs. “Alright, it’s clear,” says the lead one. She walks up to you, looking like she’s trying to suppress a laugh. “Next time, cook with supervision.” She walks off, however her colleague walks by eating out of a very familiar pan.

“This is some good fettucini alfredo,” she says. Then she walks away.

You sigh. Good grief.
