“Medals don't mean anything to witches, we can get most of them anytime we want, just for asking. Most nations only keep two or three medals sacred, like the medal of honor or whatever.” She says.

“Doesn't matter anyway, I won't get them.” You say, shrugging. “Nothing I've done has been really brave.”

Ice looks at you like you've lost your mind. “You took your fighter into sixty, six-zero, bandits and went toe-to-toe with three dreadnaughts and splashed two of them. Every single afteraction report, from the front on down to battalion levels, credits you with maintaining air superiority. Frank, even the twins couldn't follow you in- they tried. We watched. I think that qualifies.”

You shake your head again. “Hardly. We were never in any danger.”

“You-” Ice makes a choking sound. “How do you figure?”

[] “You saw us, Ice. Did it ever look, for just a second, like they had anything like a chance in hell?”

[x] “You saw us, Ice. Did it ever look, for just a second, like they had anything like a chance in hell?”

“You saw us, Ice.” You say, maybe a touch more forcefully than you mean. “Did it ever look, even for just a second, like they had anything like a chance in hell?”

“Frank, we couldn't see- you were evading masers, gunfire, and missiles by inches, if that. We all thought you were getting shot apart.” She says. “That you came through it without a scratch-”

“Is down to Merlin and I making a pretty damn good team and being aware of what we were doing.” You respond. “Not to mention the rest of you keeping the rest of them away from us. It's no fluke, Ice. We know what we can do.”

“I'm still singing off on these.” She says, indicating the papers after a short silence. “We'll work out the specifics later.”

You shrug. “If you want to. I think the credit for Berlin belongs to Jean-luc and his tankers, though.”

“Funny, he said almost the same thing you did.” She responds. “Rosalie tells me he's stated repeatedly he knew his tanks and crews could do what he was asking, no problem, but without you, they'd have been slaughtered by those dreadnaughts.”

1/2

“The dreads weren't going to be able to take Berlin.” You point out. “Shit, they wouldn't even be able to get inside the AA envelope of the Eastern Flak towers anyway, not without getting shot all to shit.”

She shrugs. “If you think so. The Germans and French disagree, and Nixon said he wants to pin another navy cross on you for that stunt- then told me to warn you that next time, not going into a coma would be appreciated, especially when every reporter in the western world wants to talk to you.”

You wince. “I take it that wasn't fun dealing with.”

She shakes her head, then looks at her watch. “You still owe me for it. And aren't you scheduled to go wheels up in about half an hour?”

You check your own watch- she's right.

[x] I've got a couple minutes. You eaten yet?

You lean back in your chair and cross your arms. “I've got a couple minutes. You eat yet?” You ask, just barely refraining from putting your boots up on her desk.

She grins. “Yes, actually, I have.” She responds, holding up a paper plate with a few crumbs on it. “Mrs. Mackintosh stopped by and gave me a sandwich and a glass of milk. Do you want to cross check with her?”

You laugh and shake your head. “No, I believe you.”

She tosses the plate in the trash can next to her desk and leans back away from the papers. “There's a couple notes from SHAPE here about moving us to the front, but the matrons are blocking it.”

“Predictable.” You say with a snort. “Why do they want us?”

“Morale, mostly. “ Ice responds. “The Polish are making major gains in reclaiming occupied territory, they've already retaken Poznan, the and the rest of the NATO forces on the front have taken Gdansk, Wroclaw, and Bydgoszcz. Soviet resistance is picking up, they're fighting back, but they lost too many bodies and too much equipment in the battle of Berlin to make much of a fight of it, and with the IJA making gains out in the pacific....” She shrugs.

“You think it'll be over soon?” You ask.

She shrugs again. “It's too early to tell, but Stalin's on the back foot, for sure. Rumor has it he's ordered another conscription up, and they're starting to produce equipment like they did in the mars war, but Berlin hurt them bad. One of the girls I know on the front is saying that most of the higher ups don't think the soviets will ever be able to contest airspace again meaningfully.”

“so there's no real need for us.” you say, and Ice nods.

“Exactly, and that's how the matrons have been able to deny it. NATO holds air superiority, but the soviets still have plenty of AA to go around. Funny thing, though, their witches have been disappearing. Only a few sightings of them anymore, and those are almost all the academy witches, you know the ones.”

You nod, remembering the exact ones she's talking about. “That's good news, then?”

She shrugs, looking uncomfortable. “No one knows, but it's strange.”

“Well, nothing we can do about it, anyway.” You point out.

She nods, looking at her watch again. “Yeah, I guess you're right. And we need to get going. C'mon, I'll head down to the support shops with you.”

>>32847485
Dun dun duuun

What I want to know is when is Putin going to hold his coup, to over throw Stalin, restore Ice to the throne, and fight the aliums? We all know it's coming. Mars won't be able to resist the World at War once again.

That's her call if she wants it. Which I doubt she does.

>>32847540
Is she really the type to turn it down if Putin tells the Duma to reinstate her?

You nod, walking out of her office and closing the door behind you.

You split up, briefly, in the support shops- she heads to the witch's side of the house while you work through the much smaller conventional shop, gathering your equipment and getting it all on, then grabbing your helmet and taking one last stop by the board.

The board, as it's known, is where staff post the most up-to-date information available for the region. The latest printout is five minutes old, and shows overcast skies over the channel islands range, all the way north to the pas de calais region and extending almost all the way to Paris- much larger than the actual range you've been cleared for.

You meet Ice again on the way out, holding the paper out for her. She shakes her head. “Another storm, I bet.” She says, looking it over. “I'd almost bet money we'll be socked in tomorrow.”

You shrug- the fighters are all weather, and technically, so are witches, but due to conditions at barin, even a little rain can make the runway too hazardous to operate. You haven't been closed down yet, but most of the witches insist it's just a matter of time.

3/4 (oops)

You split up once you arrive in the hangar, heading over to join Merlin on her pre-flight, and waving to Wendy, who's already on her striker rack, slipping off her boots and her long, brown and green striped socks.

“Wonder why she wears those?” You muse, causing Merlin to look over at you.

“W-what? Oh.” She looks over at Wendy, waving back to the British witch. :I-I don't know. Maybe they're c-comfortable?”

“Or good luck, like my gloves?” You offer, pointing at your flight gloves- you notice a new patch replacing some of the worn leather on the palm.

Merlin makes a face. “M-maybe. I s-still think you need new gloves, F-frank.”

“These are good luck!” You insist, causing Merlin to shake her head again.

“I-if you say so.” She allows. “E-everything looks g-good. A-and I have a s-surpise for you when we l-land.”

Why would Putin do that? Who would want an absolute monarchy, ruled by a third generation foreigner, no less, in 1990? Why would Putin just hand over the entire CCCP to some random American soldier, no matter her ancestry? And the Tsars had a successful rebellion against them for a reason.

If he brought her back at all he'd make it an constitutional monarchy, with himself es effective head of government, and Ice as the Ceremonial head.

“What about Boeing or Lockheed?” You ask, indicating to her she should climb the ladder first.

“W-well, I d-don't want to work at Lockheed.” She says. “M-maybe at Boeing with daddy, b-but I don't know. K-kenji said it would be nice to be on the coast, b-but he said he'd go wherever I went.”

“He didn't say anything about going there to work?” You ask, starting up the ladder after Merlin swings her legs over the lip of the cockpit and drops into her seat.

“N-no, but I'm s-sure he would, or m-maybe even her imperial higness m-might.” She responds, looking down over the edge of the cockpit at you.

“You could ask if it interested you,” You point out, climbing into your seat and grabbing your helmet out of the flight bag. “Shop around a bit for the best offer.”

“I p-probably will.” She says. “W-want to go to intercom?”

“Yeah, go ahead and button us up.” You answer, plugging in your helmet umbilical to it's port.

“But I'm not sure I want to leave the States.” Merlin says, checking out the intercom and continuing the conversation. “I mean, my family is there, and that's where everyone I know will be...”

[] Write in.

“We can worry about it when we get to it, kiddo.” You point out. “For now, let's concentrate on what's in front of us.”

“Yeah, I guess. Sorry, Frank.” She responds. “Everything checks out, my board is all green. Lighting them up.”

“I mean, you can keep your options open.” You say, feeling, then hearing the big turbines spinning up behind you. “We've still got plenty of time before you need to decide anything, you know?”

“Yeah. I'm excited about it, is all.” She says. “I always wanted to do that, now I really want to, after flying with you.”

“Why's that?” You ask, checking your flaps and stabilizers as much as you can.

“Well, now I've flown in a fighter in combat. I know what pilots need.” She says.

“Remeber, not all crews are like us.” You point out.

“Oh, I know.” She responds. “But they'll still want a lot of what the wyvern can do.”

“Good point. We're rollin, you have the tower?” You ask.

“Yeah. Barin tower on your first tac switch. We're working with RAF AWACS in the nimrod again, callsign hurricane.” She says. “No intercept control, Slider will be attacking us.”

“That's a change. They get tired of us setting the pace?” You ask.

“Ice said the matrons were more frustrated with us after Katya. They want to see what we can do, not watch us win in perfect conditions all the time.”

“Screw 'em.” You respond, lining up on the runway and habitually looking out your canopy for your shooter- then remembering there isn't one. “I'm not taking my fighter into terrain at mach speeds to turn with a witch. There's a difference between showing them what we can do and being foolish.”

Well we do see part of his fuselage with his Emblem near Avalon Dam with a bouquet of flowers along side it in the epilogue.

“I know. But I think they think we're convinced we always have to win, and that's not the purpose of this.” She says. “But it doesn't matter, they're asking me so many questions after flying... If Mrs. Mackintosh wasn't so nice and didn't always have cake waiting for me I think I'd still be hiding in our room.”

“Maybe that's why she's making it?” You say, grinning.

“Maybe, but it's worth it. We're clear, steer for heading two-two-six, angels twenty. That'll keep us out of Heathrow's pattern and should keep us clear of most of Gatwick's traffic.” She orders.

“Two-two-six at angels twenty.” You echo, indicating you've received and understood the directions. “We're going.”

The wyvern jumps off the runway, eager to be back in the air, it seems. You start a lazy, spiraling climb up to your assigned height, watching the castle shrink out of your canopy with each spiral. Eventually, you reach your assigned altitude and level off, taking a south western heading towards the channel islands.

“Any other air traffic we need to know about?” You ask, idly watching a jumbo jet in the distance lining up on what you assume is Heathrow airport's runway and slowly descending.

“The ADA has some fighters up, but that's just to chase off anybody trying to break our airspace.” She says. “And there's a small private academy on Guernsey island, but they shouldn't be in the air at all.”

“Good.”

You know that slider is aggressive, and prefers up from below attacks- Pilots, even you, have a hard time seeing through the floor of your cockpit, and most fighters are traditionally blind in that arc, though you're significantly less so. Forcing her to come in from above, though, means giving up any kind of energy advantage, and means you'd be almost surely committed to a turning fight.

So they give us no missiles, then get butthurt when we refuse to give a witch all the possible advantages she could want? You'd think the matrons would be less pissy about steelwings showing their sparkly asses up after the Martian War

Toss them an interesting fight, maybe they'll stop complaining.

We'd have Agiles in a perfect conditions and if they want to see us do our thing it means we do our best to win which means no fighting in the mountains with a witch that knows them. Stupid cunts the Matrons are

>>32849595
Old bitches ruling the world.....

>>32849590

>>32849593
>Why have we not been debrief or at least seen it in the quest?
Matrons are convinced Frank is just a good pilot and Merlin is the source of all the amazing. Probably consider consulting him redundant after getting his thoughts on the new generation of fighters against witches the one time.

>>32849463
>[] We'll get on the deck, means she'll be off her gameplan right away.

>>32849618
I know that this is probably true, but this magic radar thing is super friggin' secret. I'd fully trust Slider with it, and I'd guess that Ice has done so, but do we know one way or the other?

>>32849639

Yes.

Ice told Merlin to keep it quiet and only tell Fronk when he woke up from his coma.

>>32849463
>[x] We'll get on the deck, means she'll be off her gameplan right away.

Win in all conditions. FUCK THE POLICE

>>32849639

>[] We'll stay up high- we'll want the energy and we're not as blind as other fighters.

>>32849673

Youre wrong, hes a fluffy tyrannosaur. We just havent noticed yes.

>>32849890

>>32849907

>>32849925
The feeling is mutual, as tsun as Slider is about it

>>32849907
Yea he's a dog, if he was a bear Fronk would have named him Bob.

>>32849929
On the other hand, we're away from the front, and indeed are at Barin.

>>32850005

Well, it would, because it would probably hurt the Wyvern, and that's bad.

But in the grand scheme of things, we're here to see just what our GNOMEishness can do. And it seems to be most powerful in high stress situations.

To be fair, it's perfectly valid, when fighting an enemy that likes to attack from below, to position yourself where you have the best chance of seeing them.

AND, it could also be a good lesson to Slider (we are against Slider, right?) to not be predictable.

>>32850167

[] Inverted because being able to say “because I was inverted” and have Young cough “bullshit” is too rich to pass up.

Behind you, Merlin begins starting up the wyvern's impressive sensor suite, while you maintain altitude. Despite knowing Slider's preference for up from below attacks- though, honestly, she's just as good at anything else, she just prefers this method- you think you've hit upon a plan. Merlin, for her part, doesn't say anything when you start to roll the fighter inverted, holding it there for a count of ten before flipping it upright again to allow the blood to leave your head. It's a good way to a fast headache, you know, but you don't figure you'll have to do it for long before you either see her or one of the sensor systems picks her up.

It's not long at all before Merlin calls out her contact- “Frank! There's Slider, right below us!”

You instantly look down- craning your neck up, almost hitting the top of your helmet on the back of your ejection seat, and spot her- she's closing fast, her shotguns held out in front of her, her elbows only slightly bent.

“Yeah.... yeah, I got her. Tally ho.” You respond. “One bandit, six o'clock low.”

“Frank she brought the autos!” Merlin calls. “She's closing into gun range!”

Hey, until we're flying inverted to cover a witch in the drink, or pointing a handgun at our superiors, or ramming our jet into a dread, or sneaking on to a ship to secure Ice cream, it has not taken us. Barin will have us soon though, for she is a cruel mistress.

>>32850825
To be fair, it's been implied we have SANIC thrust, we've just never used it.

We chickened out of the GOTTAGOFAST test.

>>32850823

YES! YES! OH PLEASE!

>>32850666
>[x] Dive away, build some energy!

We are rolled inverted. To climb we either have to roll again or push nose down and climb like your fat mother out of her rascal. Diving is going to get us out of the kill zone faster

Weren't there a bunch of posts in that vein earlier on in the quest?

>>32850823
Oh my yes

>>32850907
I think Fronk made comments with a faux-aussie accent, only to have someone point out that we were actually predating Steve Irwin's show by a bit

>>32850907
Well, Steve IS known to wrangle snakes and crocodiles more then anything else. So it's a natural comparison.

That being said, when are we going to see meet a witch with a croc familiar? Perhaps named Terri?
