That said, your first day on the grounds, so far, has been pretty lackluster. Mostly, it's been either rules and safety briefings, or you trying to get hold of air traffic procedures for the base. Being a witch hold, the airspace is traditionally restricted up to angels twenty, and there's no tower- witches don't need one. You're really not sure how the whole thing is supposed to work, and you've got a sneaking suspicion that no one else does, either. The next nearest airbase of any size is RAF Wattisham, up to the north, and they're far too far away to try and tackle air traffic for the castle.

You've run into a few matrons- well, more, they've made it a point to come and be introduced, though they all seem to be focusing on Merlin, which has resulted, probably predictably, in her sticking close to you. You've met representative matrons from all over, though you've done little more than exchange greetings with them.

They've notified you of the most irritating rule- you're not really allowed to wander around without a witch. You're allowed around your squadron area, of course, and the common rooms and outside- you're not under house arrest or anything. It was explained to you as simply being a matter of tradition- that and there are parts of the castle that have been unused for a long time- not to mention the possibility of running into someone in a state of undress. The second one actually makes you laugh- as if you're not already used to seeing bareleg witches all the time anyway.

You've got plenty of time to go poke around- and you're sure Merlin will want to come with, so you feel pretty free to wander. Alternately, of course, you could go see about talking to one of the girls and see what they're up to.

I kinda want to go exploring, but let's start with this to be on the safe side.

I wonder if there are any monuments or memorials about the Joint Wing around here.

>>29350645
including the closet where Minna and Young fucked? Or the Suit of Armor Ian used to hide.

>>29350620

>>29350662
It's probably still there.

>>29350662

[x] Guess we should go see if the boss has anything else for us.

You clamp down on your urge to explore- between the dungeons downstairs and the Library, you'd imagine there's plenty of places to kill time. Still, you're an officer in the US Navy, and that entails certain obligations- like going to see if your commanding officer has anything she needs you to do.

Or, more likely, you think, things she doesn't want you doing. Or needs to tell you not to do.

“C'mon, Merlin.” You say, causing your RIO's head to pop up out of the comic book she was engrossed in. “Let's go see if the boss has anything else for us.”

She nods, rolling up the comic- you're sure some collector, somewhere, is crying at that- and hopping off her bed, getting into her shoes. She steps out the door in front of you, looking back as you close it and start down the hall way.

The squadron hall is one of the renovated dormitory halls- you've got the entire upper floor to yourselves, currently. The castle, as it turns out, has been kind of quiet since the war, but served, for a while, as a small academy. After that was moved, the place has been almost empty, except for a few witches and a caretaker staff. The renovations are newer- according to Ice, there were plans to re-open the academy here before the start of the war.

The way to the boss's office takes you through the corridors of the castle. It gives you a chance to look around- the stone walls are mostly bare, but the floor is carpeted. You'd thought that kind of odd, but it made sense after talking to Slider. As a witch holding, she'd said, and part of the air defense network protecting this area, someone decided back in the middle part of the 1960s that it made more sense to have carpeting and let the witches go without shoes, thus saving them time in a scramble.

You, however, note that most of them still wear shoes.

>>29351874
or in the hands of the foundation for testing.....

The common area is much larger than you're used to, though right now it's occupied by enough unfamiliar faces that you don't feel like going down. You're pretty sure you see Rosalie and Katya down there, though, so at least you know where they are, if you want to go see them.

The boss's office is upstairs, and is actually probably one of the best in the building. Her name and squadron already adorn a plaque on the door- either they work fast, or they were waiting for some time. Her door is closed, and you knock, opening the door when she says “Enter.”

She looks up from a stack of papers and smiles tiredly. “Hi Frank, Samantha.”

“Afternoon, Boss.” you say, taking a seat- Merlin walks over to look out the window at the tarmac and the runway. “Merlin and I figured we should pop by and see if you had anything for us.”

Ice shakes her head. “Not right now, no. wait, actually, there is something-”

She shuffles through a pile of paper before handing you a bright silver whistle.

You turn it over in your hand. “Rescue whistle?” You ask, never thinking you'd have one- there's no point, and the stuff in your survival vest is far more effective in the long run.

She shrugs. “Tradition. You don't have to keep it on you, but I have to issue it to you.”

> Canadia

That still leaves one final slot though... where's Kota or Panzerhexe when we actually need 'em

>>29351933
Someone post the whistle now!!!

You flip it over in your hands a few times, then pocket it, shrugging. “So no work?”

She shakes her head. “Not really, no. We're supposed to be getting some upgraded components in for your jets, and a new striker system- though I'm not sure what they mean by that. Once they're in, we'll have check flights to work through, and we all need to get some time up in the airspace anyway- especially you two. You would not believe how many of these women have asked to fly with you two so far.”

You laugh. “What have you told them?”

Ice grins. “To wait till we're settled in, then ask you.”

You roll your eyes, smiling. “Gee, thanks. Put all the work off on me. C'mon Merlin, let's bug out before she comes up with something for us.”

Ice smiles. “Dog that hatch behind you. If it's open, people think it's an open invitation to come in here and chat. It's not so bad when it's any of us, but I'm already getting sick of the rest of them.”

You laugh, stepping out of her office and wondering where to go now.

[x] Well, Katya and Rosalie were down in the common area, let's head there.

You decide to head down to the commons- while there were a bunch of witches down there, you figure you would like to spend some time with Katya, and Rosalie is always good company too- plus, you're pretty sure you saw Jean-luc down there as well.

Backtracking from Ice's office, you walk through the hall, noting the display cases- and the inordinate numbers of MG42s in them. You make a mental note to ask about that, when you get the chance.

Heading down the stairs from the walk above, Katya calls up in greeting.

“Hello, Frank.” She says. “Are you feeling better?”

You shrug. “I was never hurt.” You say, mindful of Merlin. “They didn't seem to know what happened.”

“Well, luv, that's what we're here to find out.” One of the matrons says. “There's a lot of theories going around about you two.” She takes a sip of tea.

Katya shrugs, then moves over enough on the couch to make room for you and Merlin.

You sit- and you're about to move over for Merlin when she wedges herself between you and Katya, forcing you to move the other way.

“So what do you think happened?” You ask. The gathered group of witches.

Katya shrugs. “I am unsure, Frank.” She says, shaking her head. “This is... unlike anything we have ever seen.”

The matron nods. “What you two did was incredible, luv. But there's more questions than answers.”

“Well,” you say, “We know for sure that it was sparkles.”

Rosalie nods. “Oui, Frank, but what kind? Even Samantha isn't strong enough to do that alone. Perhaps it is part of her unique talent- maybe she is sensitive to machines?”

Merlin's head swivels back and forth, tracking whoever's speaking- her eyes getting wider as the conversation goes on.

The matron sips her tea again. “It's possible, luv.” She says, holding out a saucer with a teacup on it towards you- you decline, but Merlin takes one and a few small biscuits, eliciting a smile from the matron- “but it would be the first time anything like that has happened.”

“I believe it was partially Frank.” Katya says. “In California, when we crashed, while he was attempting to save that airplane, I felt....” She trails off, looking for words. “Something. I am unsure what it was, and it was as if it was a great distance away. But there was something there.”

Merlin nods, happy that someone else, at least, agrees with her, finally. “I-I'm really not all t-that strong.” She says. “I-I can't e-even power a striker. It's all- all Frank.”

The matron leans back, looking at you. “Is it?”

Merlin nods. “I-I'm sure of it. It's L-like being plugged into the sun when we're in a fight o-or something happens. B-but...” She trails off, looking distressed.

It was only that one matron who was a complete bitch. Presumably, the others are helpful.

Getting with Slider is like getting it with a 1969 corvette taxi cab. Sure it's a fun ride, older and with some good mileage on it, but everyone else has gone down town in it too.

>>29353630
>[] “But what, Merlin?”

>>29354331
Technically this case isn't. Besides, never trust your allies. You ever wonder why we didn't let the Brits join the Manhattan Project at the start, not to mention the terms of the agreement that finally allowed them in were so harsh?

>>29354331
It isnt because they aren't our superiors or members of the US military, given their ulterior motives, keeping this information to ourselves is the smart thing to do.
OPSEC son.

>>29354331
You best explain to me how not telling a BRITISH WITCH, is aiding and abetting enemies of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

>>29354331
Homegirl they aren't in our chain of command. We report things to Ice, Ice reports things to Nixon if she feels like it and gives the matrons the polite finger. Our circumstances have us pretty well insulated from answering to sparklebitch hierarchy.

>>29354604

Slight nitpick, but shouldn't Ice report to whoever the Commander of the Atlantic fleet is, since we're under his jurisdiction?

>>29354631
Technically yes. But don't think Nixon doesn't have a bit of influence even in the Atlantic.

>>29354631
No. Nixon is the only admiral we can trust. We should report it to Captain Blackwell before we bother him about it, though.

>>29354631
That isn't really clear at the moment. We're apparently no longer attached to the Saratoga or any other carrier right now, and we're stationed at fucking crazy castle alone so she basically has no one to report to until more orders come down from somewhere.

>>29354713

Do we at least have some kind of Witch Wing Commander to report to ala Minna (she was the 501st Wing Commander right?)?

>>29354797
As far as we can tell, no. Carrier based aircraft are organized slightly differently, either in effect or completely. My alcohol fogged mind can't be bothered to differentiate.

>>29354868
I interpret that as Ice is now her own superior.

>>29354868

Wait, I forgot, we're just detached temporarily right? From the Saratoga's wing?

>>29354940
who fucking knows!

>>29354899
It doesn't work like that. She is no longer under the Saratoga's command, but she is still under someone's. For a squadron of our status, we might even be directly under CINCLANT, but that is highly unlikely.

>>29354958
Alright, alright! I was just curious.

[x] “But what, Merlin?”

“But what, Merlin?” You prompt.

She sighs, then continues. “B-but it's not- not always there. I-it's only t-there when we're i-in trouble or s-something.” She says.

The matron sits back in her chair, and you notice some others have arrived, taking seats in the vacant couches and chairs.

“So, what about Berlin, then, dear?” She asks. “More tea?”

“N-no, thank you.” Merlin responds. “A-and I don't k-know. I-it was different, l-like...” She trails off, shaking her head. “I-I don't know. I-I'm sorry. M-maybe if I w-was Ice o-or Rosalie or m-my sister I'd b-be smart enough to s-say.”

The matron smiles gently. “Samantha, luv, you're the closest witch to Frank. You know what's going on better than any of us, and we're all new here. Don't worry about not knowing right now, we're going to work that out, and we'll need your help.”

“And you are very intelligent, little sister.” Katya says, reaching an arm around Merlin's shoulders and pulling her closer. “I wish I had your smarts.”

“T-thanks.” Merlin says, though she doesn't sound convinced. “I-I just wish I c-could be more h-help.”

“This is as Matron Knight said, Merlin.” Rosalie responds. “It is new ground for us all, oui? You are already very helpful, and we will need you to learn more about this.”

1/2

“And remember what happened to Patty when she tried out your seat?” You ask, jostling Merlin till she has to re-seat her glasses on her nose. “I'd say you were plenty strong on your own.”

Merlin looks up at you, but doesn't respond.

The room lapses into silence for a minute, then Rosalie breaks it.

“Frank,” She says, “And Merlin, Jean-luc wants to meet you both, I almost forgot. He isn't here right now, he took a jeep into town, but when he gets back, perhaps?”

You nod- seems like a fine idea.

She smiles. “Merci. He has been carrying on about meeting le mort blanc. It's getting tiring.”

You laugh at that. “We can get somewhat troublesome at times, eh?”

“Yes!” both Katya and Rosalie respond- almost in unison.

You laugh again.

“F-Frank, I-I'm hungry.” Merlin says. “C-can we go get food?”

Merlin wants to get food, and possibly talk. The alternative is hang out in a room with Rosalie, who's okay; Katya, who's been noticeably cooler to Frank lately; and Matrons, who in Frank's limited experience are generally Up To Something.
Merlin wins, hands down.

Honestly I've been thinking that Young and Minna are in that very large group of relationships of pilots and witches that don't work.

They had a kid, but odds are their marriage (if they even married) spiraled into a catastrophic failure that served as a lesson to future witches.

Kinda depressing though really. So i cheer myself up with the though of dudebro with the twins being the luckiest motherfucker on that planet. I mean seriously, twins AND witches.
