“Well,” you say at length. “Either way, she's going to be in ordinary for a while anyways; and with that, uh, energetic personality of hers I think not having something to do will drive her nuts. Absolutely nuts.” You rub your chin thoughtfully. “Some of it is just paperwork stuff, but I'm not sure anyone can stay mad when she starts in with that -” you remember the way she shut Harder's wrath down with one well-timed crossing of her slender, pale legs - “uh, idol thing.”

“You think she'll do okay?”

“When that air raid hit, I was wheeling her around base. She got her head in the fight faster than I did. Even if she's not cut out for that particular job, I doubt she's going to screw the pooch.” You almost catch yourself on that last one, but Goto's drinking too, and he GAVE you the drinks, so to hell with it. You doubt he'll care, anyway – he's pretty loose for a Japanese guy.

In fact, his propensity for office drinking is the only really Japanese thing about the guy. Or maybe you're ethnocentric and Projecting and you didn't even ask him for his pronouns so who gives a shit? You down another shot. “So why are you trying to get me drunk?”

“I assigned Naka a small command an hour or two ago,” he tells you.

“What, really?”

“Perfect time for it,” he points out. “With the flagship in ordinary, the others will have time to train as a team. Naka doesn't need it; she was one of our first. She's seen enough heavy shit that the training range isn't much use for her. She can still supervise, however.”

“So why are you trying to get me drunk?”

“Trying?” he refills your glass.

You toss it back, and slap it down. “Trying.”

He smirks – and rolls his chair a few inches away from the desk, looking just like he's trying to dodge another of Kongou's dynamic entries. “I assigned Fubuki to her.”

“Makes sense.”

“And Willie.”

You know, I was thinking earlier that pairing Fubuki and Willie together might be a good idea; certainly better than Sammy and Willie, as the Chikuma Incident showed.

There is the potential of Fubuk And Willie On Crack, but that's a risk we'll have to take.

This one. The vote option referring to a "weapon" meant a real, actual weapon - kind of like firing a gun into the air while yelling to make a crowd abandon all ideas of violence really quick. But anon made it clear that they thought the option was for deploying Hate (which had already been confirmed by the prior vote, so he was in anyways,) so I just... intensified that to fit.

In the end, I think anon DID vote for deploying a real, actual weapon.

Shoukaku isn't confident in her own skills as a secretary. If we push it on her, she will outright refuse.

Besides, since it turned out that Yamato is Goto's secretary, we are now totally free to pick Kongou as our secretary. Maybe she can control Sammy.

Maybe on the first (nothing stops secretary ships from sortieing) and admittedly yes on the second- but if she can keep Sammy in check, it's a small price to pay.

>>40252236
I suppose. We'll find out if we ask her in the future.

>>40252259
I don't propose waifuing Kongou. She is Goto-sexual, which means she will not use the advantage of being our secretary ship to get ahead in the waifu wars.

Heck, we can even be her wingman. Insist on bringing her to every meeting with Goto on grounds of "she's my secretary ship". That way Goto has no escape from her.

You snicker. “Ah, Goto, this star feels pretty new. If I want to get all huffy I'll bring a ruler and we can both have that contest fair and square.”

He laughs.

“Kongou can be the judge.”

He stops laughing.

“If Naka was one of your first ships... she must've been rough to start with too, right?”

He nods. “You'd think they'd know how to fight, instinctively... and in a sense, they do. But they all react to their, uh, resurrections in a humanoid body differently.”

You recall how Shoukaku described taking to clothes shopping so avidly, and recall that plenty other shipgirls seem to go about base in the same old uniform they always wear. Kind of like you.

“She was a bit unsteady at first – she looked like a kid learning to ice-skate for the first time, really. And there was nobody to ease her into it, or show her how. We had to throw her into battle before she was really ready.”

“Isn't that-”

“She wouldn't stay behind,” he explains. “She saw us sortieing and just fell into formation. We left at night; it was almost two hours before the deck watch spotted her.” He sighs. “I know she doesn't seem like much on paper, but we both know the facts aren't everything with this spooky shit. Fubuki reminds me of Naka a lot; she can barely set sail without face-planting in a wave – top heavy, I guess – but she's trying her ass off. I think they'll all have a good influence on each other.”

You chortle. “I can drink to that, Goto.”

And you most certainly do.

Your watch wakes you up right on time, with the added benefit that you can't find it in time to smash it. You grope around for it with the intensity of a wounded soldier crawling for cover; powering through agonizing effort with the grim, certain knowledge that you can rest if only you see it through. By the time you locate your watch on your wrist, it's too late – you're awake. A shave-and-shower later you duck into the kitchen long enough to drop more crumbled-up bread to your new fish (still have to buy that aerator thing – today) and check your schedule on your smartphone. A few things have been re-arranged to accommodate work crews patching up the limited damage from yesterday's air raid.

Yeah, 'bout that. You know who invented the concept of Marines?

Athenians. Yeah. That's right. Sparta won all four major land battles of the Spartan/Athenian war, but in the interim the Athenians were rowing up and down their coast landing small parties of raiders and shit-wreckers all over the place. They were terrifying, because when you saw them coming at you, you knew they weren't just there to sack the houses and kidnap the women. They didn't care about women. They came to shank you with spears till you died to death.

By the way just so people don't walk away with a completely wrong impression: While the industry exploits the shit out of otaku's money, otakus in general are very much considered Persona Non Grata among regular japanese society.
They too would rather have those guys nuked to oblivion.

(I suspect part of their intensity is related to some sort of instinctive pushback against the japanese society's love for conformity. Nail that sticks out and all that)

The Wehrmacht issued serrated knives in WW1. Their soldiers got rid of them as fast as possible in favor of smooth blades because the English did horrible things to soldiers they caught with serrated blades. The wounds they made were horrible. There was a passage about this in All Quiet on the Western Front, actually.

That's interesting. Why so? More contact surface?

>>40252579

Pretty much everyone knew that a smooth-bladed knife is much more dangerous in a lethal sense, as a weapon - a clean cut to an artery won't shrivel up and partially self-seal like a ragged tear does (i.e. the kind of injury likely to be sustained from natural causes or a saber-tooth tiger attack, etc. Evolution!) Some people will even tell you that smooth blades are the best.

Some people think they'll fight with a knife against a fleshy opponent, but when they're trying to saw through a seatbelt as fire eats towards the gas tank, who's gonna be laughing then!?

Basically yes. Clean-edged cuts have nothing to naturally keep the two halves together, wheras jagged wounds tend to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

You decide to get some real food and skip the usual morning e-mail routine. Paying attention to the public mood is all well and good, but if you turn on the news to see yourself choking roundboy with that cane, it won't set a good mood for the whole damn day. You never got used to the idea of being in the media – or being popular – or being a 'household name,' whatever the fuck that means. And you're keen on the idea that people might be forgetting by now – sixteen months is a lot longer than fifteen minutes.

You make it to the mess without incident. Last night's storm dropped the temps down to the bearable range so the staff have thrown the windows open to let the breeze in. You take a deep breath, feeling pretty good – still a little groggy, but the slow, steady beat of that hangover is helping keep you sharp, and you prefer pain to grogginess anytime. You stand near the drink machine and drink three cups of orange juice quickly before loading a plate high with hash browns balanced on top of eggs. You're advancing on the bacon when your attention is drawn by someone speaking your name. Glancing back, you discover a conspiratorial huddle at one of the tables nearest the buffet line.

“He what!?” one of them exclaims, before being hushed by her fellows. It looks like DesDiv 6 having a pow-wow.

HA HA! YOU MUST HAVE ALL THOUGHT I WAS DEAD!

STORIES FROM THE FLEET: THE DEPLOYMENT FROM HELL

This one will ramble a bit, as I was suffering sleep deprivation during this deployment. It's more of a collection of anecdotes than anything else.

Early into 2007, the manpower of my division dwindled from an all-time hight of seven, down to four, including our LPO. We had one First Class (our LPO), two Seconds (Myself and one other), and a new Third. Our watch rotation at the time was a (somewhat) managable six-on, twelve-off. Right before our STRAYA Deployment, however, some chucklefuck from On High decided to send out LPO and our Third to "Threat Recognition" School (rapid signals analysis).

Myself and the other 2nd-Class were boned. Not only would we have to man the watch 24-7 while underway, but we would also have to participate in all the scheduled exercises, drills, and briefs. I was the Briefing Petty Officer for the ship, so I was doubly fucked in that regard. The deployment started with a three-day transit to Okinawa, where the ship would pick up Marines, and I'd pick up $200 worth of legal stimulants.

Those stimulants lasted one week of a six-week sea period.

The first week my buddy and I developed a six/twelve/six watch rotation. Whoever was not on watch would have to run solo all the maintenance, as well as participate in the various exercises and drills. That was the hard and fast of it; we had to make do with two something we were squaking by with four.

We averaged four hours of sleep in a given 24-hour period due to this tempo. Everyone deals with sleep deprivation differently. My buddy became a walking zombie; (pretty much) anyone senior in time could get him to do something. I became the World's Biggest Asshole; there were only a small handful of people I would actually listen to, let alone obey; the CO, the XO, my Chief, and the two female officers I was sweet on (one was the 1st LT, the other was an ensign). My Chief became the ships' go-through whenever something needed to get done by me.

Even before this deployment, I had developed a reputation for being shit-hot at my job and my ancillary duties. I developed a rapid-analysis system for exercises and real-world interactions ("Jesus fuck I know what I'm talking about just shut the fuck up and listen to the expert, sir"), and was skilled in everything Intel-related (toot toot goes my horn). My newfound assholishness exempted me from (nearly) all bullshit assignments; my usual excuse (and the truth) would be "I've got maintenance", or "I've got a brief to do", or "DRILL TIME BITCHES HA HA FUCK YOUR WORKING PARTY!".

One of my Brifing PO duties was assembling the daily briefs from all the chucklefuck officers, as well as promulgating my own daily intel brief. Now, most (re: all) officers suck donkey balls at working powerpoint, let alone giving a presentation on it. Every day, I'd sit in my own little corner of the Wardroom, where we'd do briefs, and glare hate and the occasional giggle at the various officers during their individual briefs; hell half the time they recycled older briefs because they couldn't come up with a new one, most times they'd even be reading DIRECTLY OFF THE SLIDE and regurgitating the info on it to the CO. Every slide of my briefs had graphics on it; I'd memorize the contents of each one, as well as additional info that wasn't on them. Only once or twice would I ever glance at the slide in particular, usually to highlight OPFOR fleet movements. One time, the CO, after remaining silent for every other brief, congratulated me for a well-done brief for an exercise. I got the biggest shit-eating grin, the only (junior) enlisted in the entire wardroom just outshone the combined works or ROTC and Annapolis.

We'd rig up deceptive lighting two-to-three times a week. We'd use three different temporary lanterns to simulate the silouette of a merchant vessel at night. Port and starboard running lights in different locations, and a relocated mast light. Well, I was told that we'd be doing it one night, so about an hour before sunset I went down to the foc'sle to set up the temporary running lights. When I got up to the Forward Lookout position for the mast light (right above the bridge), I was stopped by the lookout and told to talk to the OOD down on the bridge. I popped down there and asked the OOD what was up.

uring Combat System drills, I was the Ringer. Johnny-on-the-spot with analysis; recognition of ship movements and capabilities to defend against missile attacks; I outperformed even carriers with whole dedicated suites of people (toot toot). With my shortened fuse during the Deployment from Hell, I'd start snapping at people who I knew were In The Wrong. This was not limited to my fellow enlisted; officers and Chiefs were all fair game to me.

Our usual TAO (Tactical Action Officer, the guy who fights the ship from CIC during General Quarters) was a full railroad track LT. He was your usual self-important officer of middling rank who thought he was shit-hot. He also preferred to deal with missiles by broadsiding us and trying to shoot them down with CIWS and RAM (Rolling-Airframe Missile). Dealing with the SRBOC (deployable chaff launchers), as well as being Best Buds with the FC's who ran CIWS and RAM, I begged to differ.

One particular drill, conducted when I should've been getting my four hours of sleep, the CO was in CIC during it. The drill began like normal; Country Red gets uppity, and there ships are close by. Red's ships start agressive posturing, then their fire-control radars light up my console, always followed by missile guidance radar signals. I inform the TAO, recommend coming to an athwart heading and speed from the combatants for maximum coverage of all defensive systems (CIWS, RAM, and SRBOC), and prepare to engage my particualr systems.

"Nah, We'll go broadside for maximum coverage of CIWS."

"You're a fucking idiot." It was out of my mouth before I could even think. When you commit, you COMMIT.

I explained, in brusqe terms, why my recommendation was superior, why we keep failing drills (him), and that given the choice between following him in battle or getting anally violated by a donkey, I'd pick the donkey.

"Fuckit, fight your own damn battle. You'll just get us all killed anyway," I ended.

I sat back in my console's chair, and propped my feet up on the nearby safe. No one said anything to me for the rest of the drill.

Later on, I found out that the CO chewed out the LT for not listening to the recommendations of his watchstanders, as they are the ones who know the ships' capabilites best.

I was also chewed out by my Chief for talking like that to a superior officer in front of the Captain. "You were right, though. Good on you for sticking to your guns."

When we finally made port and picked up the two wayward spooks, I looked at my LPO and the 3rd-Class and simply said, "You two chucklefucks can do the inport maintenance. I'll be in my bunk for the next 24 hours."

TL;DR we aren't in the Age of Battleships anymore. With missiles you want to present the narrowest target possible.

>>
>>40253262
Incoming missile and he basically exposed the greatest crosssection of the ship to the incoming missile. So its less likely to miss.
>>
>>40253262
By broadsiding yourself you make yourself a bigger target, and while you SHOULD have double the anti-missile protection you also have to cover 2 to 3 times more of the ship.

It's a negligible gain at a greater risk.

You sidle sideways, a depressingly obvious approach given your bright white uniform, but the four girls are engrossed in their little chat.

“H-he didn't,” Inazuma breathes. “Everyone says he seems so s-sincere!”

“He totally did,” Akatsuki replies confidently. “He left Shoukaku there, bid her goodnight like a gentleman, and then-”

The other three lean in, their faces rapt with expectation -

“-walked away under an umbrella with Arizona!”

The other three gasp. Ikazuchi seems stricken. “B-but he wouldn't,” she says, her usual enthusiasm seeming subdued. “He took Mogami to the doctor himself.”

“Doctor,” Hibiki says, tasting the word experimentally.

“Technically?” Ikazuchi replies. “But he wasn't scared at all and made the guy help Mogami and-” she shakes her head. “H-he wouldn't be two-timing!”
“What if it's Arizona?” Akatsuki theorizes. “Maybe she's seducing Admiral Settle!”

“M-maybe...” Inazuma ventures hesitantly. The other three fall silent and focus on her. “Maybe Arizona is actually a boy?”

The other three twitch.

“T-think about it,” Inazuma says quietly, poking her fingers together, avoiding her friends eyes. “She never speaks. She wears a long duster a lot. Someone said she always carries a r-revolver. Sh-she just showed up from out of town one day... all mysterious...” she looks up suddenly, conviction in her eyes. “A-and lots of boys dressed up as girls to fight in the Army in history! What if she was afraid they wouldn't let a ship-boy fight?”

You're glad you chose to hang back – this is fantastic. Hibiki looks up and spots you, her mouth opening in surprise. You wink at her and press a finger to your lips, and she nods almost imperceptibly.

“Shipboys aren't that rare,” Akatsuki counters with a frown. “I mean we've even got Har-”

“Akatsuki!” Hibiki scolds her, but it's too late – Ikazuchi is already starting to shiver, an awful, hollow look entering her eyes. Inazuma grabs her by the shoulder.

“Ikazuchi, snap out of it!” She starts shaking her friend, looking striken, vocalizing her distress with a little “hawahwahwahwa” that sounds like it'd be crying if it wasn't too flustered to come out properly.

Hibiki looks up you coolly.

Thanks for that last story - it wasn't just interesting, it told me some things about how a modern USN navy ship is fought that I've been trying to look up without much success. I knew the CIC had full control over the weapons systems - the Captain releases the birds to them, and then they do their thing, if I get this right - but I didn't realize they had control of the conn as well.

I'm trying to learn what a modern Arleigh-Burke captain would do during a battle - what functions his job actually entails directly. Reference materiel seems thin.

But if you get a chance to watch Silverado, do it.
One of the few films in which Kevin Costner is a good actor, also includes Kevin Kline & Scott Glenn.

So great cast, and the plot ain't half bad either, with the classic western action and shootouts that define the genre. 8/10 in my opinion, at least, but then again, I grew up watching this one.

“It's true,” you say, your voice laden with grave undertones.

The three squabbling girls look up at you like deer caught in the headlights.

You set your tray on their table and pull up a chair. “Inazuma's got the right idea,” you explain seriously. “Arizona just... showed up one day. Sailed into the harbor from the South, slowly looking all around. Sixteen-inchers slung low on her hips. People started talking – people panicked. They figured she might be an abyssal loose and sailing, looking to do some vengeance with the big irons on her hips.”

“Wh-what did she come back for?” Ikazuchi asks.

You shrug. “She's never told. Never said a word. But she must have some sort of idea... because she does carry a gun.”

Inazuma gasps, her eyes sparkling. “S-she does?”

You nod. “A six-shooter.”

Now Ikazuchi is shaking Inazuma, but it's too late. “A-and she'll stay silent till she's seen everything, and figured out how everyone operates...”

You nod.

“A-and then she'll make her intentions known!” Inazuma concludes, thrusting a fingergun into the air. “A-and call out her foe!” She leans forward, clearly fascinated. “And Hornet...!”

“Hmm?”

“Is she-” she drops her voice. “A princess?”

Even Hibiki gives Inazuma a look, and you see the girl's face already crumpling as her own words bounce back at her, too late to be recalled.

“Yes,” you reply.

Inazuma lights up like a goddamn spotlight, Ikazuchi gives you a dubious look and Hibiki just smiles ever so slightly. “Of course she is. Only braves are allowed to fight – unless you're the chieftain’s daughter, and then you can do whatever you want. And did she ever.”

“S-she did?”

You nod sagely. “She snuck deep into hostile territory and launched an attack with aircraft she shouldn't have even been able to carry. Everyone thought she was a shaman who had summoned aircraft from the mystical land of shangri-la to carry out the strike.”

“Shiggyloogy,” Ikazuchi says disdainfully – but she's paying attention to your every word. “Maybe it was just propaganda!”

“Maybe,” you say with a shrug. “Maybe. But...”

They all wait, holding their breath.

“She does have a magic arrow.”

“No way!” Ikazuchi exclaims.

“Yes,” you say seriously. “Way. A black arrow that she never fires... until she has no other option. When she looses it, it always finds the enemy, no matter where they are!”

Their eyes widen.

“Why doesn't she fire it all the time?” Akatsuki asks, her tone uncertain now. “If it's so awesome?”

“Because whenever she does, it *never comes back.*”

You let that hang over the table for a few seconds while you eat.

“... so how does she-”

“Pulls it out of the abyssal it killed,” you reply offhandedly. “Sometimes she's gotta put her foot on 'em and really yank. Took us a crane, once.”

Inazuma has her fists pressed against her mouth and seems to be thrilled so much she can't breathe.

“So, what's this about me and an umberella?” you ask.

“Uh-” to her credit, Akatsuki only hesitates a moment once she realizes she's in the sights. “Yeah. You! You walked home with Arizona last night! Under an umbrella.”

“She brought it to keep me from getting wet,” you explain. “It was raining!”

“But Admiral,” Ikazuchi ventures. “D-don't you know that sharing an umbrella...”

You raise an eyebrow. “Yeah?”

“It's... it's like...”

You make a little circling motion with your fork to encourage her. “It's like...?

“N-nothing!” she says brightly, a nervous little giggle escaping her.

“Would it be like sharing AA coverage? They call those umbrellas sometimes, after all.” You look at Inazuma. “Arizona's secondary battery can't elevate high enough for anti-aircraft fire. She'll need escorts. Would you share your AA with Arizona-san?”

Inazuma turns beet-red, sliding down in her chair to hide her face behind her arms, a muffled “hawawawawwa” her only reply.

“We should eat,” Hibiki points out. “We'll be late for gunnery practice if we don't.”

“Do we have to?” Ikazuchi mutters. “I'm never good with them...”

“Don't slack in front of the Admiral,” Hibiki chastises her. “Come on!”

Finally fucking done.

To the town of Honolulu sailed a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around her didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask her business no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on her hip
Big iron on her hip

It was early in the mornin when she sailed into town
She came sailin from the east side, slowly lookin all around
She's an abyssal loose and runnin came the whisper from each lip
And she's here to do some vengeance with the big iron on her hip
Big iron on her hip.

Near the town there sailed an Abyssal by the name of Iowa
Many had tried to sink her each one got a lead enema
She was vicious and a killer, ship number BB-4
And the notches on her guns numbered one an nineteen more
One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
Was a shipgirl and wouldn't be too long in town
She came here to sink an Abyssal in single battalia
And she said it didn't matter she was after Iowa
After Iowa

Wasn't long before Iowa came by to raid again
The Abyssal had no fear of the Navy now or then
Twenty times they'd tried to sink her twenty times they'd made a slip
Twenty one would be the shipgirl with the big iron on her hip
Big iron on her hip

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they sailed in the heat
Folks were watching from the shore every-body held their breath
They knew this pretty shipgirl was about to meet her death
About to meet her death

There was forty hundred yards between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the shipgirl is still talked about today
Iowa had not ranged fore a shell fairly ripped
And the shipgirl's aim was deadly with the big iron on her hip
Big iron on her hip

wiki doesn't say either way but, they weren't on course to actually be able to torpedo the carriers at midway. so it could be said they did indeed draw some of the air cover away.

It's definitely true that the CAP had time to climb back to altitude, but what VT-8 did was make them expend enough fuel and ammunition that the CAP needed to be replaced. According to Shattered Sword, US dive bombers didn't hit them while a second strike was on the decks. It hit them when they were preparing to launch a replacement CAP.
>>
>>40254640
Well, to be entirely fair, that chart doesn't have the Brewster Buffalo, Hawker Hurricane, Wildcat or either of the tiny Soviet fighters the Chinese "used". Compared to what it was going up against in the first year of the war, it WAS a good plane.

The problem was what happened after the Allies realized that sending second-rate shit to the Far East wasn't going to cut it anymore.

Early-war zeros only had 60 rounds per gun for their 20mms. That's the only firepower worth a damn. In a few sims I played I've seen people on the runway emptying out their 7.7 to lighten the plane - tells you what they think of its value.

It had some good points. It's range was extremely good, it was pretty cheap to build, and it dominated pilots who didn't know what the fuck they were doing (poor china).

But, yeah, against pilots who were actually trained it got stomped, since who the fuck is going to try and turn with a plane they know can out-turn them?

“You're running late already,” you say, checking your watch. “Hey, if you want, just attend the next range session afterward – you don't have anything scheduled for right after, right?”

“With the battleships!?” Inazuma almost squeals.
“That'd be exciting!” Ikazuchi cheers.

“I guess that'd be okay,” Akatsuki admits.

“Is it really okay?” Hibiki asks.

During the breakfast conversation you manage to learn the girls are perfectly capable of evesdropping from impressive range – they've got pretty decent passive sonar, their active systems notwithstanding. After dumping your trays (you polished off the last of Inazuma's eggs on her request; she looks too excited to eat,) you lead them to the little motor launch that services the island of Hakozakicho. From there the girls can line up on the pier and launch their miniaturized projectiles at the rock breakwater about twenty-five hundred yards away. As you approach the impromptu range you can hear the thunder of guns drifting over the island's big central hill. Hate is there to greet you at the rope barrier defining the impromptu range – he's been put in charge of administrating these practice sessions because... well, he's really the only one with the skill, authority and availability to do it. The range officer of the base's small-arms range has the clearance, but being muzzle-swept by a 14-inch gun apparently diminished his already-low enthusiasm for the task. The Lance Corporal’s suspicious eyes sweep your little entourage suspiciously.

“You're late.”

"Sorry. Had a date."

The girls quail, and Inazuma actually starts edging behind you. As you recall, they've been having most of their shoots at the small arms range; the backstops there can handle the 5-inchers well enough with practice ammo.

“An Admiral is never late,” you reply glibly. “He always arrives at the exact instant he intends to. For instance, I intended to show up at exactly -” you check your watch. “Whenever the hell I want. Gee, look at the time.”

Hate gives you a lidded-eyed look. “Well, I got Willie and Fubuki on the last two lanes and they haven't killed me yet, so whatever.” He turns to the girls, and gestures politely for them to enter, holding the rope open for them. He clips it shut behind them.

“Welcome to the range,” he says politely. “Now listen to me and follow my rules.”

Akatsuki gives him a Look; her metaphorical hackles already rising.

“One,” he says. “Never, ever point your guns... turrets... whatever, anywhere else but downrange. EVER. Never, ever swivel those goddamn turrets in any other direction. I see a turret swing towards me, I will assume you are engaging me and respond accordingly.”

“With a smokescreen?” Akatsuki replies dourly.

She's interrupted by a nasty growl near her ankles, no less threatening for its high pitch. She looks down and yelps as she jumps away from a Corgi perched near Hate's feet, the little creature's hackles standing straight up.

“I got something else for the big girls,” he says with quiet malice, “but this fella here, he really, really, REALLY hates destroyers.”

They gulp.

“Dunno what his beef is, but I keep him on hand just for biting ankles. Sent one girl right into the water yesterday. Funny as hell.”

“What'd she do?” Hibiki asks.

“Nothing. But it was funny as hell.”

They blanch, and nod hastily to convey that they get the point.

“Second,” Hate says, “when I say cease fire, cease frikkin fire – probably some idiot that didn't read the notices pedaling his sampan out during the middle of life-fire practice. Despite, you know, all the noise.”

They nod.

“Third – you will all wear ear protection at all times.”

“BUUUUUUUUUUUURNING SHELLS!” Kongo’s voice comes booming from one of the wooden shooting stalls, the sound of miniature 14-inch rifles almost underwhelming compared to her voice belting out over the open water.

“Not that it'll do you much fucking good,” he says sourly. “If you forget your earpo we've got foam earplugs, the Navy pays for those. But they don't pay for eye protection and the cheap stuff sucks, so I got this.” He picks up a plastic box setting on a table to his side, and proffers it. “Okay, you all take one. Bring it to practice every time, and DON'T FRIKKIN LOSE THEM.”

Ikazuchi picks one of the plastic glasses out of the box gingerly – they look like Iraq Invasion era military ballistic glasses, fresh out of the cardboard. “Are these really that important?”

“I won't let you in without them,” Hate says seriously. “If you screw up and come here without them, you get to use one of my spares.”

“It can't be worse than these,” Ikazuchi says dourly, frowning at the unstylish ballistic glasses.

“DESS~U!” you hear, and turn to see Kongou emerging from her stall as the gunfire tapers off across the line. She's beaming at you from a huge pair of novelty “2009” glasses, where the 0s form the lenses. “GOOD MORNING, ADMIRAL SETTLE!”

Ikazuchi recoils as if struck.

“Figure's she'd forget hers,” Hibiki says quietly.

“Oh, no,” Hate sighs. “She asks for them, every time.”

“Well what about her!?” Ikazuchi says, pointing at Willie, who's just emerging from the stall at the end, closest to Hate. She's wiping dust off the face-shield of the riot helmet she's wearing. “Why does she get that instead of silly glasses?”

“Her? She's a special case. She needs all the help she can get.”

After taking you to the waterside with the fishtailmobile, Sammy fucked off to who knows where. At least the rest of your little destroyer party stayed with you. Good thing, too--their high-power fire hoses make short work of the fires between you and the fuel depot. With their work and your coordination, you manage to slow down the fires enough for the remaining--er, human ships--ships that aren't human--the fucking regular-ass boats--to get close enough to help put out the rest. No base-flattening secondaries today.

Willie's a pro, as it turns out--the Americans apparently had fire suppression down to a science. Using blasts of soap and water, she instructs the rest of the girls.

"Y-you have to sort of push the fire off the oil, see?" she'd stammered. "While the soap makes it mix with the seawater and put it out." Despite insisting up and down she couldn't do it, she sure did, and her advice helped save the day, whatever she thinks.

With a last sigh of relief you let your gaggle disperse, waiting until you're sure you're alone before your casual lean against a watch tower turns into sagging across it, letting out a slow groan as you slump against it for support. You focus on your breathing, trying not to think about how fucking big this base is, how long your walk is, or how many fucking hills are between you and a straight line back to home, and bed, and turning off the fucking charm for a goddamn--

"Naka?"

Fun Fact About Torpedo 8: that's NOT entirely true. Torpedo 8 actually fought in the Battle of Midway as two seperate units. 15 planes and 30 crew flew off Hornet, all 15 planes were shot down and 29 men killed. BUT 6 MORE planes with 18 crew flew off Midway Island itself. Of these five more were shot down with the last plane (with 2 surviving crew) making back to the island. The reason was that the six-plane division were operating the BRAND NEW TBF-1 Avenger torpedo bombers, the replacement for the TBD-1 Devastators the Navy was using at the time. The six planes were literally the first six off the production line and were rushed out for hte battle, but missed Hornet by a few hours, so the crews flew them to the island.

So there were in fact three surivors from Torpedo 8, but those other two men never got any kind of public fanfare.

Torpedo 8 was not the only US squadron to suffer those kinds of loses though, all the torpedo units involved suffered massive loses, of 41 Devastators deployed in the battle 37 were shot down on the first day. The US Navy pulled the plane off combat duty as soon as the battle was over and all torpedo squadrons reequipped with the vastly superior Avenger. The highest ranking officer to survive from all three torpedo squadrons was a 2nd Lieutenant from Enterprise. In addition most Marine units operating from Midway Island suffered AT LEAST 50% loses. The Midway fighter squadron lost 18 of 22 planes. Mostly Brewster Buffalos but including a half dozen Wildcats. Only 2 of each type survived, and the Marines officially declared "that any pilot sent to combat in a Buffalo should be considered lost before his aircraft leaves the ground". Up till this battle it was tradition for the Navy to pass airplanes it considered obsolete on the Marines when they were done with them, the battle demonstrated this was a flawed policy at bestand caused its elimination.

Did a huge research paper on the battle back in high school.

You bolt upright, ignoring the spike of pain through your ribs in favor of the chill down your spine. "Jintsuu-chan? Over here."

She rounds the corner, looking simultaneously concerned and relieved. All you can manage is concerned. "Jintsuu, what are you doing way out here? It wasn't safe."

"I know. I was looking for you. What on earth were you doing?"

You shrug (ow ow ow ow ow) and gesture out at the depot. Greasy smoke still lingers here and there, and there are more than a few blackened spots from where the fires burned hottest. "Someone had to do something--"

"Someone did do something, Naka," she insists. "Lots of someones. Whose idea was it to climb the microwave tower and return fire from the center of the base?"

Shit. "U-um, it was that American destroyer, Sammy. She can be, er, very persuasive..."

Jintsuu leans in, narrowing her eyes. "Bullshit."

The throbbing pain through your body dies and turns to ice inside. "Jintsuu?"

"You were out with Settle, he got inside the command center, and suddenly you're all the way down at the shooting range with a bunch of destroyers?"

"I--"

"You almost died, Naka! You can't--" Tears, now. Please, God, not tears. "You can't keep doing this. You're not well."

"I'm f--"

"Don't." Her fist thuds against your shoulder limply, no force behind it. "Don't tell me you're fine. Just... please, don't lie to me, Naka."

You force down the shame, the guilt, and your own tears, swallow the hard lump in your throat, and pull her into your arms. Be brave. One more show to put on for the night. "I'm sorry, Jintsuu. I just... I didn't want to make you any more worried." Your dress is wet with tears as she shoulders into it, holding you tightly.

"...Bleeding," she mumbles.

"What?"

"You're bleeding. Your side, Naka."

"O-oh, really? I must have overexerted myself a little," you reply noncommittally. "It doesn't really hurt, so I didn't notice."

She pulls away from you suddenly, and you almost stumble--you hadn't realized you were leaning against her. "I'm taking you back to the medical building."

"Jintsuu, I..." you trail off. No sense making this any worse. Your voice falls. "Okay. Let's go, Jintsuu. I'm sorry." That much, at least, is true.

She loops an arm around your waist and drapes yours across her shoulder, and slowly the two of you make your way back up towards the main base sprawl.

"Naka, what did I tell you to do?" Wainwright asks, no trace of amusement in the repairman's voice.

"Not to use my ship form," you reply dully.

"And what did you do?"

"For fuck's sakes, Wainwright, it was an air raid. I had bigger shit to worry about."

"You climbed. A goddamn. Radio tower. How the hell did you even manage that?"

Truth be told, right now you don't even think you could say. The walk back here was hell--you refused to lean on Jintsuu and doubly refused to betray an ounce of weakness where she could see. Wainwright caught on fast enough and got her to leave before he had you dismiss your load-out, and the rush of pain damn near made you collapse. He has a right to be pissed, you have to admit, but he can take a goddamn number. You shoot him a glare as he rebandages your midsection, stuffy (and bloodsoaked) dress removed, modesty the furthest thing from your mind right now. "One leg at a time? I don't know, what do you want me to tell you?"

"For starters, that you won't pull stupid shit like this again. You broke all your damn shorings, pulled your damn stitches out, whatever language I need to speak to get that through your head."

"Okay! Okay. I will not do it again," you enunciate slowly through your teeth.

He scoffs. "Yeah, I know, 'cause you're not leaving the ward until I say so this time."

"Oh, come the fuck on." you snap. "I have shit to do!"

"So do I, and then I had to go back and do all this shit again instead because you decided to play pop star action hero," he fires right back. "Someone has to take care of you, because you clearly can't."

"Fuck you, Wainwright," you say with a glower, even as he finishes wrapping the bandages around your chest.

"Yeah, same to you, princess." He strips off his gloves again and throws them into the sink, falling off into rapid-fire muttering in a language you don't understand. Whatever he's saying about you, it sounds very, very unflattering.

"The fuck is that sun-speak?" you ask, flexing your arm slowly with a wince.

"Spanish," Wain replies tersely. "I was calling you a stuck-pig suicidal moron with dog shit for brains and bolillo rolls for hair."

"Oh. ... the fuck is a--"

"Shut up and go to sleep, Naka."

Easier said than done. You've hit some sort of combat energy/fatigue tipping point--sounds a bit like what humans go through. You're exhausted, but your thoughts are still racing and you're almost too tired to sleep. Somehow. Biological bodies suck. After a while, Wain can tell you're not getting any rest and puts on a radio. It starts quiet and over the course of fifteen minutes he steadily puts the volume up, blaring something very loud, very angry, and very American.

You find yourself liking it, despite yourself. Goddamn that courteous motherfucker.

-----

You sit up in bed as you hear the door open. Jintsuu said she wasn't going to be able to visit today. A moment later, Wainwright rattles your curtain divider with a brusque "Visitor."

"Come on in, I'm decent," you call, grateful you did up your hair just in case. In walks...

"Willie?" You ask. "You came to see me?"

"Um, yeah," she says. "...is that a problem?"

"No, no! I just wasn't expecting it." You give her a big grin. "How are you?"

"Um, I was gonna ask you that," she says lamely, looking down at her shoes.

"I'm okay! Getting better every day." Wainwright at least kept his mouth shut, but the fact that you're bedridden again going on three days now, it wasn't hard for the rest of them to put two and two together.

"I, um. I wanted to thank you."
>>
You blink. "What for?"

"For h-helping me during the attack. The Admirals told me I did a good job, and, um." Willie produces a very crumpled letter on navy stationary from her pocket, and thrusts it towards your face. "I'm supposed to give you this."

You carefully take it from where it wavers under your nose and open the letter. "Orders?"

"Y-you've, um, been offered a small command," Willie stammers. "A-and I'm in it."

"...Really?"

"I know! I tried to tell them it was a bad idea! I'm sorry!"

"No, no, Willie, you're fine. I mean...I just wasn't really expecting this." Maybe you should have been. There was something in the way Goto asked you how the attack went when he visited you last night.

She sniffles. "Really?"

You give her another grin, feeling less like a ship and more like a sun lamp someone switched on. "I've seen what you can do, when you really put your mind to it."

"Thanks, Naka. I'll--I'll try not to mess anything up, I promise!"

Heh. "I know you won't, Willie. Now... do you want to go for a walk with me? Tell me a bit more?" It took all this time, but this morning you finally convinced Wain to let you walk around a little bit outside the stuffy-ass medical ward. Not far, though.

"It'll be you, me, and Fubuki for sure," she explains as you walk along. She nearly stumbles on the back of your wheelchair--again--while you try to enjoy the sun. The divider area between the ship medical and the rest of the base is small--more or less a hallway and a cafeteria--but it's nice to get some sun for a moment. "A few more they're still waiting on while they decide."

"And, uh, any idea what the roles would be?" you ask. Willie shakes her head.

"They just said that we did good and want us to stick together."

You both turn as the door out to the main building rattles. Maybe Jintsuu had time after all...?

"Jintsuu?" You call, Willie slowly rolling you towards the door. It swings open quietly to reveal an unfamiliar--and unescorted--man. Clean cut, nice suit, narrow eyes, slick hair, and bad news written all over him.

"Miss Naka-san," he greets smoothly--and in Japanese. "Pardon my intrusion."

You're dressed in a patient's gown. Not that you particularly care, but you clearly need to put your act on for this one, so you cover your chest with one arm modestly. "You have me at a disadvantage, mister...?"

Willie looks back and forth between you, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Don't worry about that," he says. Uh oh. He puts up his hands plaintively--sleeve falling back just a little back, revealing a gold watch and a long, complex tattoo of a serpent coiling up his wrist. Uh-oh. "It's not who I am, but who I represent that's led me to come in to visit you during your hospice."

You study him closely, saying nothing. Serious expression despite the soft voice--he's clearly reading you as intently as you're reading him. He's probably not armed, but then, for this kind of visit, he wouldn't be. "Ooh, mysterious! Who do you represent, then, sir?" you ask, keeping your own voice light and airy.

During your long stint of research on idols, you came across a phenomenon you didn't actually put much stock into. But here you are. A yakuza--a real-life, honest-to-god yakuza--just bought his way into an American military base. And he did it to get to you.

"Red-Gold Productions wishes to tender you an offer of employment, Miss Naka," he says.
>>
"There's a war on, you know," you reply, voice carefully neutral.

"There is! That was what caught our eye, you know. We've seen your interviews, after you were first returned. And this attack on the base... well, the footage of your part of the action was captivating. I understand your reluctance, but I also understand it's very dangerous work. Perhaps unfitting for a girl of your talents. You would be quite a catch for any production agency, you know. Can you imagine it? The first and only one of your kind, a singing ship girl?"

"It sounds as if I'd just be a novelty." You purse your lips and scrunch your forehead, trying to look contemplative.

"Far from it! Plus, we're prepared to offer you very generous terms on your contract, should you accept. We're open to negotiate, if you have an agent already...?" He's probing for information, the creepy little snake.

"I'd like some time to think it over," you 'decide,' putting just the right amount of haste into your voice to make it very clear your mind's made up.

"Of course. Though perhaps I should warn you in advance, my employers can be very persistent. And persuasive."

You frown. "I don't respond well to pressure."

He smiles coldly, hands coming back up. "Perish the thought. We wouldn't wish to make you... uncomfortable," he states emphatically, even as his eyes sweep up and down your near-naked body. Classy. "I just thought it would be in your best interest to tell you now that the men I work with don't take no for an answer."

Okay, enough from you. "Is that a threat, Yakuza-san...?"
>>
>>40255696
Ohohohoho, what have we here?
>>
Willie doesn't miss that, eyes widening. He sees her shock and just smiles wider, all teeth, more like a fucking horse than a snake. "Consider your options. If a man like me can walk into a military base not three days after an attack on it, what else might we be capable of reaching?" You pause at that. He sees it and presses. "And there are a great many things that can go wrong, even on something as sturdy as a light cruiser, you know? Sabotage cost us a great many ships in the war. And you surround yourself with..." he casts a disdainful look at poor Willie. "Americans. We all know they're not to be trusted. Who's to say an accident couldn't happen? Especially with so much ammunition stored around here..."

He takes a step forward, towering over you. You look up from his chest, up over his reptile smirk, and into his dark, menacing eyes. Willie's moved around to your side, one hand on her hat again in a reflexive nervous tic. The thug is eating her dismay up, the fucker. You feel a hot flush of anger through your cheeks as he turns and gives her a meaningful look, drawing a squeak of terror from the hapless destroyer. "I thought you were here for me, Yakuza-san," you say, voice brittle.

"Oh, I am. It would just be very unfortunate for another girl to get caught up in your issues. Or maybe that accident might be laid at one's feet. I understand your little gaijin friend here is very clumsy." He raises his voice with that, and Willie shrinks back again as if struck. His eyes slide back over to yours, full of self-assurance and disgustingly smug.

You stare into his eyes, expression unwavering, for a long, tense moment.

And then you let out a giggle.

"Naka, what the fuck?!" Wainwright demands as you and Willie help drag the injured man into the ward, still screaming.

"I-I-I don't know!" you stammer. "He--he came in, and made some threats, and--and I was so scared, I just--spontaneously put on my ship form!"

"You fucking--"

"I didn't mean to, I swear!" you say pleadingly. "I just got so startled that I--I dropped one of my five-inchers, right on his--!"

The man runs out of breath and screams anew as you not-so-gently heft him onto the bed you've been stuck on for days, the shattered mess of right leg dragging along after him at a horrible angle.

"Holy fucking--okay, whatever. Go get Crab and just--just stay the hell out of here for the next hour, okay?"

You and Willie scram in a hurry, you dismissing your loadout again and easing back into your wheelchair where you left it.

"So I guess I'm good to leave the ward for a little while," you declare cheerfully.

"Um."

You frown. "You okay, Willie?"

"Y-yeah, it's just..." She shakes her head again. "I know you did that on...I just, I don't think I could ever be that brave."

You turn around in the chair at that, careful to use your good side. "...Well, why couldn't you? You're armed and armored better than I am."

Looking into her watery eyes, you think about the orders she gave you again. Act as a babysitter for the poor, blubbering American girl. Maybe there's something to this, after all.

Nah newfie dogs are way too big to be corvettes, they can be the frigates. The corvettes are all geese. So the Canadian navy has: (apart from the usual modern guided missile destroyers and stuff)

- 3 hockey loving carrier shipsluts (with Seafire, Sea Fury and Banshee planes)
- 2 British sister carriers half full of Canadian seamen
- 5 cruiser shipsluts
- NUMEROUS destroyer girls
- 2 captured and "recommissioned" u-boatsluts
- Newfoundland dog frigates handled by Lieutenant Anti-Hate
- Canada Goose corvettes led by no one can control the geese

Any abyssal subs that show up in canadian waters are going to get the shit kicked out of them so hard they'll become bilingual.

I like to imagine that the goose corvettes run wild and live along the coast with other geese, going full TERMINATOR if they detect the presence of abyssals. And the best part, the BEST part about corvette geese? They fly south to the states every winter! HAHAHA

okay plane shit before I sleep

>>40254913
>The plane was not very good, it was just that the Finns has no choice but to use it. Even at the end of the article you posted when the Germans gave them BF109s they jumped at it.

Because the B-239 was becoming dated by the time of the Continuation War, their extant airframes were worn out, and replacement Buffalos and/or upgrades simply could not be had. It had nothing to do with the plane.

On its own merits the Buffalo was a tad slow for a monoplane, but only a tad - it had the highest-power/weight ratio and highest climb rate of any US fighter (outside of the Curtis Demon, I suppose) in the US inventory. The Wildcat was sturdy and a fantastic turner (it could damn near turn with a zero, no shit,) but its engine was badly underpowered for its weight. (The F6F was damn near the same airframe just with a much bigger engine installed; this changed everything.) Maneuverability was excellent, not only was it a good turner, but it was also a good roller.

Excellent vertical performance, excellent turn, excellent roll, stable in a dive - it was pretty much everything you could ask for, especially from an early-war plane. If that wasn't enough, it handled quite nicely (not too twitchy or anything,) it accelerated pretty well and it was decently sturdy considering it was an early war plane with a decent power/weight. It even had a floor window (very useful, given the limited visibility from a fighter's cockpit) and a nicely appointed cockpit complete with ammo counters (not common at all back in the day!)

Almost all of its bad rap comes from the F2A-3 model which the Navy made so fucking heavy the loaded plane literally could not do a loop. Yeah. That was a thing. Americans have a habit of judging everything based on their own experiences with the weapon alone, and the Buffalo only had a few minutes in combat - with a model so hideously fucked up with extra equipment it could not be called a fighter - over Midway.
>>
Its war isn't it?

Once we find out, we take this fucker into custody.

And hand him over to Hate so we find out the security breech.

Dunno. He had a point about being able to walk into the middle of a US Military base during wartime without being challenged!

Besides if you think Hate will let the MPs have all the fun, you are badly mistaken.

The problem is separating the criminal from the legit businesses. They're so diversified, that it's near impossible to tell them apart.

Of course, if you don't mind sweeping up some legit companies as well, then I suppose it could be done. Martial law, time of war, suspension of habeaus corpus and excessive police brutality (probably easier because of Japanese culture), all make for a good mix to initiate a purge or two.

Wow, that was so fucking boring.
>>
>>40254913
>please refer to the second part of the video I linked up and it explains why

I made the mistake of watching it and started facepalming before I got halfway through.

>Most of the planes were inoperable

Brewster Co's inability to get their production line moving was a major reason the USN moved away from the Brewster. As for arriving in the East Indies in "inoperable" condition; well, planes shipped overseas in wooden crates in humid weather in the Pacific are bound to have problems once assembled. It wasn't uncommon for a manufacturer's engineering liaison to go with trips like that to teach the aircraft mechanics all the little quirks of the machine and spare them time learning it themselves.

>Couldn't out-turn a zero

Nothing made in that war could - not even the Wildcat, which most people don't realize was an extremely good turner (same as the Hurricane.) And as for out-climbing a Zero; it didn't need to. It just had to be close enough. One thing people often fail to understand is how big or little a difference performance advantages make in a fight; until you try them for yourself in a good simulator it isn't really intuitive. Having a performance edge is one thing, having massive superiority you can count on is another. The Zero could count on massive vertical superiority to evade Wildcats, for instance. Try that against a Brewster and they'd get their asses shot off - the Brewster climbed more than good enough to keep the gunsight on target a long while before stalling. I can't tell you how many Zero pilots have tried that loopy bullshit on me only to end up at the top of his loop, hanging inverted in the sky as a huge, slow, beautiful full-planform target for my cowling guns. And the bitch of the Zero is, without self-sealing tanks, any tickle with any armament is liable to set them alight or kill the pilot.

Yes, shipsluts saturday!

>>40255973
>But what of all the export models then?

As someone else pointed out, the Europeans generally sent their broken-down shit to the Far East. The British/Commonwealth Brewsters were equipped with fucking worn-out airline engines that were underpowered when they were new. Something we oft forget about engines back then - an engine life of 40 hours or so was typical, and that was at cruising power, not combat power. 40 hours of operation, you basically tore the thing apart and did a full rebuild - or just took it down for parts and put a brand-new engine in the plane. Each flight was preceded by hours of ground-crew work; warplanes typically had every spark plug replaced, the carb cleaned, etc. Generating the kind of performance they did with 1940s tech was tough. So putting worn-out engines in those planes to save money made them deathtraps, really.

The other problem was that the Far East pilots were of varying quality and training levels, and they were just flat-out outnumbered. The garrisons in the East were no match for a full-on assault by a modern military force invading in strength.

IIRC the Dutch were not so complacent and their units often made a better showing. Not having to dodge snipers amongst the local populace with a serious hateboner for their colonial occupiers helped a lot.

>>40256148
>The F2A while useful to the Finns, only had one .50 cal and one .30 cal or was that enough against Zeros and Soviet planes of the time?

Eastern Front was a bit weird. Soviet planes tended to have similarly "light" armaments - lots of Soviet P-40s only bothered flying with a pair of cowling .50 cals, for instance.

It was rather unlike the Western Front.
>>
>>40256148
>The F2A while useful to the Finns, only had one .50 cal and one .30 cal or was that enough against Zeros and Soviet planes of the time?

Zeroes? Yes. Very yes. Soviet planes? They were a hell of a lot better than Zeroes, but they weren't armored either.

A pair of .50 calibers would have been much better - the Russians found that a single pair was enough to handle Bf-109s. All you really need to do is kill the pilot; from a rear angle there isn't much in a plane to stop a bullet if there's no armor in the pilots' backrest.
>>
>>40256350
Because they only used .50 cals in the cowlings to lighten the load of their P-40s, The Soviet pilots felt that that was all they needed from their planes to fight the Germans.

I get the sneaking suspicion Arizona is mad at us. She won't say it, but I can feel her disapproval. It stings.
>>
>>40256424
Basically, did they remove guns for weight and then find they only needed the .50cals anyway, or did they already know they only needed the .50s and stripped the other guns based on that knowledge?
>>
>>40256445
Not sure myself, I think they felt that they only needed two so they stripped them off the plane based on experence.
>>
>>40256444
Yea, we're going to for the Nissan instead of the Ford.

You should stop projecting your feelings on a character you aren't even writing and are badly misinterpreting.

We come home in the middle of the night from a "date" we didn't even have the decency to tell her about in advance and when she catches us our only reaction is "Good evening, Arizona". Not "Oh hey, this is where I was for the past 6 hours". Not "Sorry, I know you were worried about me". Just "Good evening".

You've got to admit, that was a jackass move.
>>
>>40256560
No, no I don't. She's not our goddamn wife or mother.
>>
>>40256560
I think the bigger jackass move is to keep treating them all as waifus to win, like you are, as opposed to people.

Also, I'm pretty sure she's more than capable of understand what we did, and with who. Why else would you think she would hook up to our arm like she did and escort us to Goto and also had an umbrella ready for us.

She's 'competing' in her own way. Wait till the next thread and stop projecting, christ.

And before you all start asking for examples

>You turn to begin beating concrete – and almost jump out of your skin to find Arizona standing there. The wind is rising into a steady blow now, whipping stray strands of red hair across her forehead and swirling the tails of her black duster around her ankles. Her expression is as serene and unreadable as always, but in one hand she's holding something long and black, like a rod of sorts.

Notice how planefag deliberate mentions her lack of expression. She's holding something back.

>You twitch despite yourself – and look up at the black canopy that so abruptly cut out the light.

She intentionally startles us. That's a pretty clear indication of her silent anger.

>She nods once, turns her eyes thoughtfully to the sky, then moves to your left side, wrapping her arm around your chest as high as she can. Before you can object she strides off with you safely captive, her arm supporting you like a steel band, if steel bands were slender and soft.

But she goes on to prove she still cares deeply about is.

>She's holding something back.
Or planefag just wants to continue establishing her character.

>She intentionally startles us.
This is how she's always acted.

Once again, you're making mountains out of molehills, except it's not a molehill, it's an anthill.

We already know she cares for us you monstrously retarded cunt. We don't have to inform her of our every decision ever. We haven't done that for other girls in our command. We haven't done it for her.

Once again, a waifufaggot ruins a fucking thread by making an issue out of nothing. I hope planefag routelocks us sooner rather than later and half of you motherfuckers drop the quest because you didn't win.
