Nothing really to say. Happy Tuesday, everyone.

archives here (also includes tanks '89): http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Strike%20Witches%201989
Short run-down on major characters here: http://pastebin.com/zFxWNup1
and, as always, I'm lurking in the IRC.

“Fuuuuuck.” You groan, earning a glance from Ice. You, Ice, and Slider are walking back to the house, along with a pair of MP guards, after the mission briefing in one of the base's squadron buildings.

“Crew rest starts now? And we're launching well before sunup, with a refueling hitch both ways, one alternate on some island that's known for being a bitch to get into and out of, and a target that moves that fast and just so happens to have a squadron of 'super flankers', whatever the fuck THOSE are, plus 'anywhere from four to six' witches?” You say, stopping to pick up a pebble from the tarmac and jam it in your pocket. “It's like they want me to get killed here.”

“Don't even joke about that shit, Bishop.” Ice says coldly, fury burning clear in her blue eyes as she spins to face you. “Don't you even fucking joke about that!”

You hold up your hands. “Woah, woah. Just venting, ma'am. Truth be told, I'm looking forward to the chance. But still, this mission reeks.” She spins on her heel and keeps walking, her balled fists swinging at her sides the only indication of how mad she is. And you're the one that went down!

“And it's the only window we'll have.” Slider says, walking alongside you. “You heard the general. Intel says they're hurting right now for front-line aviation assets. We shut that thing down, we'll own the sky. They can't just keep cranking out all these fighters to make up for the ones they're losing.”

“Yeah, and gods know we don't want anything unpleasant happening to the Canadians. Speaking of whom, we getting any support outta them?” you ask.

Ice shakes her head. “Not if it all goes according to plan. They'll have some of their new model Arrows helping out with top cover for us both out and in, but their Hornets and witches are all assigned to the northern area.”

“Wonderful,” you grouse. “So, let's recap: shitty target, shitty flightplan, pray we don't get hit cos our nearest alternate is 400 miles away, CSAR is a huge question mark, and we're the only combat assets going in? This is a great plan! Hell, I'm excited to be a part of it!”

“And if we don't get it, it'll be a replay of the first battle of the pocket.” Ice says, quietly. “If you want out, Bishop, now's the time to say something.”

[x] I'm not leaving you girls up there alone, Ice.

Judging she's maybe not in the mood for humor, you opt instead for a more serious response.

“I'm not leaving you girls up there alone, Ice.” You say, shaking your head and earning a quirked eyebrow from Slider in the process. “Besides. I'm more worried about you. You guys don't have the range for this kind of thing, right?”

“Not normally, no.” Slider says when it becomes clear Ice doesn't plan to. “We could make the flight from here to Adak pretty easily, but past that's pushing it. Katya could probably do the whole mission by herself, but she's a monster like that.”

“So... how the hell are you getting out there?” You ask, now genuinely confused.

Slider points to a C-141 sitting near your hangar.

“MC-141. Old witch carrier concept SAC cooked up. Apparently they didn't scrap the prototypes.” She says.

You eyeball the transport dubiously. “It's a flying witch carrier?”

She nods. “Too expensive for mass production, too specialized a role, too vulnerable to long-range interceptors, Too hard to recover witches in flight. Whole program got junked back in the late 70s.”

“Well,” you say as you walk past the big jet transport. “At least it'll give you the legs to get to out there and back.”

“I already have very nice damn legs, thank you!” Slider retorts.

“I dunno Slider.” You say. “I mean, some of the other girls have some really nice legs too, but you've definitely got the best tail.”

“Ha-ha.” She says as the tell-tale faint blue glow of magic use surrounds her and the 'tail' of her Snake familiar emerges.

“Uh...” you say, suddenly aware that with her reflexes and speed enhanced by magic, you could be in trouble.

You might be able to make the house before she gets you. Or you could try and hide behind Ice or one of the MPs.

Or you could just run. Maybe you're still faster in a foot race?

[x] Get to the house! Hide! Maybe Katya will protect you!

You are a fighter pilot. Possibly one of the best in the entirety of the USN, so long as you just look at the kills and not at your service record. You've been entrusted with what is, quite possibly, the most advanced piece of aeronautical hardware on earth.

And you are fleeing from a 19 year old girl with a boa constrictor tail growing out of her backside who isn't wearing pants.

You got a headstart- only just- and bolted past a very confused Ice, banking on your days running track back in high school to have carried over enough to get you to the door first. You'd entertained the thought of trying to wrestle her first- some crazy Aussie dude who deals with all kinds of killer wildlife flashed through your mid- but then you remembered: she has arms.

You open the door and dive over a very surprised Katya, landing between her bed and the bathroom wall. “HiKatyahidemepleaseIthinkSliderwantstokillme” You say, trying vainly to hide behind the cot.

Unceremoniously, she dumps a green army-issue wool blanket on you, along with what feels like everything in her locker. Where the hell did she get all this heavy shit? You think, frowning as something metallic jabs it's way into the soft spot just under your ribs.

“He went out the back.” You hear her say, sounding irritated. “Dumped out my locker trying to find a place to hide. Don't damage him too badly, please.”

You hear the sound of Slider's combat boots receding, followed by Ice. “Don't be dumb, Rachel. He's probably under that pile. There's no window big enough to get out of in the back.”

Oh shit.

You panic for the tiniest fraction of a second- you've got no way out, now.

They you remember- you grew up with two brothers and a hyperactive little sister that absolutely refused to be left out of anything- up to and including roughhousing.

You have to judge by sound, but you can hear Slider getting closer... closer. She's probably confident in her quickness- a mistake, you're sure. In close like this, with no real room to get out of reach, you're willing to bet you superior size and weight will count for a lot more.

You shift ever so slightly- hopefully slightly enough that Slider won't notice. You're not sure how much stuff is piled on top of you, but it feels like quite a bit.

Which makes you wonder, again, where she got it all.

You wait till you hear the bootsteps stop just at the end of Katya's bed before you strike.

Skidding across the wood floor, you grab Slider by her ankles and pull her to the ground, while Katya looks on laughing the whole time, and Ice stands on her own bed, safely out of the melee on the floor.

A mad scramble for position ensues, with you locking one arm around the base of her skull, accepting the crushing press of a snake tail around your guts as inevitable.
“So Frank!” She gasps while you do your level best to not choke her out while trying to choke her out. “Care to repeat that comment about- hurk- tails?”

“And heeyah we hayve tha "sloidah" vary dang'rous, vary venimous snayke. Wan of ownleh threy spaycies in the warld known teh yews magec!” You yell in your best Australian accent, while silently thanking god there's no Australians there to skin you for it.

Slider takes the opportunity to flip you over, landing herself on top- which you counter by rolling into Ice's bed. She yelps when your combined weight causes her to lose her balance and fall to the floor- making her fair game.

“Hey Slider,” you say, looking at your momentarily confused CO. “Truce?”

“Hmm. Truce. Get her legs?” Slider says, relaxing her tail's deathgrip on your stomach. You'll probably have a bruise there.

“Deal. I didn't know that fucking thing was prehensile.” You say, letting go of her.

Ice looks at you, then at Slider, then back to you.

“Hey Slider.” You say, almost conversationally, edging around one side of your CO.

“Hmm?” She answers, going around the other side.

“Isn't our boss ticklish?” You grin wickedly.

“I think she just might be.” Slider responds.

“Shall we find out?”

“No, no you shan't.” Ice says, still backing up. “I'm not playing guys I- “

“Get her!” Slider yells, diving in and tackling your CO.

Your boss's flailing legs prove to be a challenge- it takes a second to get one, then the other.

“So what now?” You ask, suddenly at a loss for what to do- it's taking both hands to keep hold of Ice, and Slider's not having the easiest time of it either.

“Uh... hey Katya! Little help?” You ask, indicating your squirming CO. It's almost an afterthought at this point that you notice she's clearly using magic too- not to much effect.

Katya looks over at you, your laughing XO, and your thrashing CO. She smiles, closing her book. “What would you have me do, Frank?”

“I dunno. You learn any Soviet tickle torture or something?” You say.

Her smile brightens. “Of course!”

“Oh, good. Mind showing our boss here how it works?” You ask, elated.

“Of course not Frank!” she says, the her own familiar's ears and tail emerging.

Then she tackles you.

“CRAP!” you note, losing your grip on your CO, allowing her to spin on Slider.

“This isn't what I meant!” you yell as Katya plants a knee in the middle of your back

Chips are down, and there's a giggling Russian planted squarely on your back. The only reason she wasn't able to get your arms was because you'd tucked them under your chest- a trick learned after many long bouts against your siblings. Protect them now, use them later.

She picked a bad way to pin you though- one knee in your back, her other leg off to one side, leaving you free to roll without fear of trapping a limb inadvertently.

So you roll- right into Ice, who falls over on top of you both.

“Bishop.” She hisses, as you rapidly try to think up an escape. “I am going to kick your ass.”

“Not my idea ma'am!” You say, pulling her between you and Katya. “Blame Slider!”

“Who?” Slider says, now sitting on top of her own bed, safely out of reach. “Innocent little me? Start a ruckus like this?”

“Oh, for the love of... “ You sigh, trying to keep Ice between you and Katya.

“Alright, Alright. Enough you two.” Ice says. “Bishop, you need to plan your load, and Patty and Nicole should be about done cooking dinner.”

“Buuuuuut mooooom...” you whine, trying to do your best impression of a pre-teen. “I wanna play some more!”

“I'll just bet you do!” Slider hoots.

“Ok, ok.” You admit, chuckling. “I walked into that one.”

You've got most of your maps and assorted load sheets in the squadron offices- occupying the floor above the hangar, they'd doubled as Rand and Rudel's quarters briefly, before those two were moved to other housing nearby. No telling how long that will last, of course, especially if someone finds out your squadron has an empty rack in their own qunoset hut.

The round trip on the mission is close to 3000 miles- well, well beyond the unrefueled range of even your XF-02B, which boasts a very impressive range for a fighter. Especially with a meaningful combat load.

The target is the Flying soviet carrier, as well as the captured base facilities at Shemya island, one of the westernmost in the Aleutian chain. Satellite intelligence shows that the reds have been using the captured base's facilities to house Bombers- Badgers, mostly- presumably to help defend their supply line into Nome. It's also suspected to be the base where they're keeping the flying carrier- it's out of the way and very hard to get at for the forces in Alaska. The latest satellite images showed front-line Flankers- or flanker derivatives, anyway- on the pad at the base, leading command to believe the carrier's in the area.

1/2
>>
The suggested load for this flight is Mostly AA- Eight new-model agiles in the nacelle bays, a pair of harpoons in the centerline, eight AMRAAMS on two of your wing harpoints, two external tanks, and 2 racks loaded with 3 CBU-87s each.

Alternate one dispenses with the Harpoons for a dozen BLU-107s, alt two drops them for a further four AMRAAMS. Alt three drops 4 AMRAAMS for another six CBU-87s for runway attacks, and alt four. Drops the harpoons for four AGM-88 HARMs.

[] Alt 2 (Air dominance fighter)
[] Alt 3 (Attacker)

The clusters won't deal enough damage to the runway. Any craters they make can easily be filled in, while BLUs will actually crater and displace the entire goddamn slab, which would force them to break it down and repour the whole damn thing.

Taking out the ability for them to utilize their strategic bombers would give the US a HUGE advantage.

Ok I see that, but can a harpoon track the flying carrier?

Its a purpose built anti ship missile designed to wave skim. The carrier is flying. That's my problem.
>>
>>22002153
Ok, [these plans suck]

I'm saying we make this a combined operation, since a pure fighter mission is suicide.

Since this is a island base, and there should be assets, we make this a combined operation.

Refuling will be provided by either smaller F-14 or C-2 if we can get carrier assets, if not, we can do it with a carrier.

However, we need distractions and AA cover, so we should see if we can get several advanced cruisers or electronic warfare birds from the AF, they should even the odds with their jamming abilities and missiles. For the carrier, we need to get specops on the island to cause chaos on the ground (also give us some more targets on the ground). We are an advanced multirole plane, but we should be focusing on supporting special operations, and using our largest weapons to damage the airfields in case this goes south.

Can we get submarine based SF to invade, or any sort of naval assets? It will determine how we should plan this. If it is a pure flying mission, it is suicide, because they have the AA advantage unless we can get naval units and stealth units to eliminate any AA before we take on the carrier.

The carrier I suspect would go down if we could get anything that could launch larger cruise missiles since our missiles aren't large or powerful enough to damage it.

Or shoot the "bridge." That was actually one of the things that annoyed me about Victory Gundam the most. They're dramatically trying to stop these battleships that are driving over a city with their oversized motorcycle tires, desperately shooting the wheels over and over again, trying to stop them without setting off their nuclear reactors. (Yes battleships built like motorcycles, it's a Gundam show.) The thing they're NOT shooting? The ridiculous upthrust exposed bridge... thing that all UC battleships have. That's the one thing they NEVER shoot.

Until, GLORIOUSLY, 3 episodes or so later, when they accidentally nail the bridge, and it explodes, and the whole thing just... stops. Right there.

Seriously, decapitating ships WORKS, and yet, despite obvious opportunities (gundams literally climbing on battleships, etc), they never do it.

Fuck, it's not like they've got a redundant bridge, with equally redundant C&C links. Just shoot it in the nice big window, and the problem goes away.

For disposing of the carrier, lift fans are what we need to kill. Assuming it's like the SHIELD Helicarrier, we just blow up the lift fans along one side and it's stuck; no way in hell is there a long enough runway or big enough jets available for even JATO to be viable for that fucker.

They've literally said it's just us and the witches. I think our main priority is taking out the airfield. They lose their bomber base and the carrier loses a staging point. That's going to really expose their supply lines.
>>
>>22002600
First, shields.

Second, we can tear it apart for intel, to say nothing of the propaganda value.

Third, while practically speaking it might be stupid as hell, it would also be more fun than the simple, sensible option while still letting us go back to the sane plan if it fails.
>>
If the carrier is on the ground we can drop a bomb on it. If i is in the air we can drop a bomb on the runway and then just leave and let its absurd fuel consumption solve the problem for us.
>>
>>22002626
Well, they can probably try staging in Backfires and Blackjacks from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. Or Bears, although hilarity would ensue the instant those things went up against pretty much any modern fighter.

But yeah, it makes it a lot harder for them.
>>
>>22002651
I don't think you are grasping how susceptible to gunfire witches are when not in strikers. Shields are great but when you go 2 v. 100 against the red army you will be turned into paste.

Your idea is dumb.

>>22002607
You remember what happened to Kycilia, right?

And Char wasn't even IN an MS at the time.
>>
>>22002651
>>22002552
It's not an airplane. It's a gigantic flying ship, that probably needs a large flight crew to stay in the air, if it doesn't ALSO have an engineering section. And this is ignoring the hanger crew/ embarked Air Group.

Two witches would not be able to steal the thing, let alone fly it by themselves.
>>
>>22002680
Well yeah, they'd have to fly them across the strait, which shortens their range and fatigues them more. Either that or they move them into the mainland bases, where they're within striking distance of our own forces.
>>
>>22002721
Or they stop being idiots and focus their full attention on Yurop where they actually stand a chance of gaining some ground.

Then again if the Russians weren't retarded there wouldn't be a war on in the first place.
>>
>>22002711
In that case, stick Merlin on it, have her use her machine empathy to activate its scuttling charges/purge the reactor/empty the fuel bunkers.

Unless we get lucky and they're as shitty at construction and damage control as the WWII Japanese, ain't no way we can do much more than inconvenience something that size with what we can carry.
>>

Fuck Europe, take the Middle East. Then sit on the vast majority of the world's oil supply and laugh.

I wonder how Cuba is doing? IIRC, Castro had no illusions as to how likely he was to survive a war between the Russkies and the US if he joined in, and intended to stay neutral if at all possible.
>>
>>22002758
We can carry fucking thousand pound bombs. Theoretically our plane could carry a nuclear fucking warhead. The thing is light enough to fly under its own power, its armor can't be that thick, and its jet engines are still jet engines and therefore incredibly fragile, particularly against AMRAAMs to the intakes.

We can kill it.

uh, what, i mean this isn't star wars, if your bridge is hit, you can still handle combat operations, for a carrier, you mission kill it by killing the deck (disabling flight operations), or sink it

>>22002655
what if it has nuclear energy, or marsian super-energy, then it could have unlimited flight time.


>>22002613
I'm afraid it uses some sort of weird antimatter/matter drive or generic IT FLOATS, FUCK YOU NEWTON drive.

>>22002626
In that case.. why don't we go with limited fuel, and rely on fueling before entering the mission zone, fuel is key, but if we are to have something to defend our plane AND take out the airfield, we can sacrifice range for mid-flight refueling.

>>22002655
You assume this carrier is undefended, and not full of ..well if SWQ's universe is anything like IRL, we are going to have a nightmare getting anywhere close.

Also sorry for being autistic type, didn't mean to ruin the fun (though this diagram is amusing).
>>
>>22002758
She can influence how machinery works, but I doubt she can outright force it to do what she wants. Plus, it saps her energy quite a lot, which is the last thing we want on an extended range mission like this.

We don't have the firepower to take on the carrier. But if we take out the airbase, hopefully we can force it closer to the mainland where we can actually bring a larger force to take it down.
>>
>>22002815
We might want to let it get into the air first, though. A crash would wreck it more thoroughly than just blowing up the engines while it's sitting on the tarmac.
>>
>>22002836
The Russians are traditionally extremely insane when it comes to point defense. Expect that carrier to be bristling with AA.
>>
>>22002758
i work with reactors
you cannot purge a reactor like that
literally i cannot express the mad (also, if she doesn't understand physics or theory, she wouldn't know what it does, it would be like giving our jet to say a linguist type.
>>
>>22002836
You realize the carrier is pulled straight from an Ace Combat game right? You don't have to do all this speculating.

Yes it has some point defense, no it does not have a miracle engine.
>>
>[x]Airfield killer.

Because guess what? A few bombs designed to fuck up a runway would probably turn a carrier's flight deck into the fucking Aggro Crag.
>>
>>22002892
I thought Ghost would at least pull some tricks, because god that mission was the easiest boss battle in all of AC, and that was in the F-15!
>>
>>22002836

Yes, but this is a FLYING carrier. And if you look at the Ace Combat flying carrier, it's got a cockpit. And so we shoot it in the engines or cockpit.

Also, most of that was a rant about Gundam, though the idea of just shooting it in the bridge sorta still applies.

[x] Suggested!

Looking over the load sheets, you opt to go with the mission suggested load. While you're iffy on the purpose of the harpoons, you're sure there's a good reason for you to be carrying the damned things.

In all honesty, you don't see the bloody point of all the paperwork, but someone, somewhere surely does. Still, you file your flightplan, check the weather data one more time, and start settling into the pre-mission routine- sleep won't be easy tonight. Your ordinance crew has already begun uploading your weapons, feeding 25mm ammo into your guns' hoppers and loading the newer agiles into their bays.

Your bird's paintjob has remained unchanged, which is something you might have to have fixed later- though repainting a jet fighter isn't as simple as, say, painting a model, it can still be done. Something to think about.

Planning done, you head back to the house, catching dinner with the rest of the squad. It's not bad, though Patty's cooking still leaves a lot to be desired.

[x] Ok, sleepytime. As it is, I'm only going to get six or seven hours of sleep.

You take the time to hygiene before bed, but you try and keep it short- thankfully, you keep your hair cut much closer to your skull than the rest of you squadron, and have no worries about going to bed with it wet.

Merlin's already asleep when you drop into your own cot- she's curled up under your leather jacket, but at least she's in her own bed. You're sleeping almost as soon as your head hits the pillow

You wake up well before the rest of the squadron- though Ice is already up as well, the smell of coffee tells you that. Groggily checking your watch, the time flashes at you- 0240. Twenty minutes before your alarm.

You dress quickly, Flight suit and boots, though you have to settle for an M65 jacket as opposed to your leather one- which is still wrapped around your RIO.

You've got some time for last-second changes to your load, or to go do something, maybe see if the phones are empty, even if it is close to midnight back home. Ice will no doubt be sitting in the hangar, you can always go talk to her, too.

The phone exchange is pretty empty at this hour, and you call up the house. Jessica picks up. “Bishop residence! This is Jessica!”

“Heya squirt.” You say quietly. “What are you doing home?”

“OHMYGAHFRANK!” You sister squeals. “We saw the news report! That was awesome! Mom said it was stupid and Dad said you did your job goddamn well and they were worried well no all of us were and the girls at the academy said you were probably dead but we knew you weren't and how did you do it telllll meeeeee!”

“Christ, breathe Jessica.” You say, laughing. “I didn't have a choice. I wouldn't have done it otherwise.”

“Yeah well the news said you saved, like a whoooooole bunch of people, and that you and it was a 'perfect example of selfless heroisim' and my teachers all said that if I had a lot to live up to!”

“Wonderful.” You respond, hoping she has more sense than to try. “You guys heard from Jake?”

“No.” Jessica says. “but he was in the news not too long ago too! Killed some soviet supertank or something, but tanks are boring. I made cookies for him!”

Your gut clenches in sympathetic pains. “Oh yeah?”

“Yeah! And mom made brownies!” She responds. “Anyway, We just finished up basic flight, we're in for advanced soon! I'm so excited!”

“I can tell.” You say, well remembering your own excitement at the jump from basic to advanced jet training. “What airframes are you practicing on?”

“The hornet, of course!” She says. “One of our instructors just got sent back from Europe, she's a marine! Maybe you know her little sister!”

“Maybe. What's her name?” You ask.

“Claire Bradshaw! Oh, whoops. I mean 'senior flight instructor captain Claire Bradshaw” She says.

“Yeah, her little sister is in my squadron. Nicole. Good kid.” You say, looking back at your watch and cursing. The walk back to the hangar will take a couple minutes, and you need to hit the life support shops still.

“Hey, look squirt. I gotta go.” You say, remorsefully. “I'll talk to you when I can, ok? Tell mom and dad I called, and you behave, ok?”

“ok Frank be careful and don't scare mom and dad anymore ok? Ok! Love you bye!” and she hangs up the phone.

Kid has a serious caffeine addiction issue.

You make your way back to the Hangar, watching as ground crews preflight the MC-141. Nearby, Ice is watching the crews transfer the squadron's strikers into the big jet- noting that the hangar is mostly empty already, except for your jet and Katya's strikers.

“Heya boss.” You say, accepting a cup of coffee from her. Taking a sip, you discover it's mostly cold.

“I figured you'd be here sooner.” She says, sheepishly. “So it sat out a bit longer than I thought it would, sorry.”

“No problem.” You say, sipping the lukewarm brew.

“hey listen, I-” you both say, then stop. She motions for you to go first.

“I didn't mean to piss you off yesterday, boss.” You start. “I didn't really think about it before I said it. Slider told me how it was that first day, but I didn't think it was that... bad, I guess, you know?”

“It's ok.” She says. “That's what I wanted to apologies about, myself. I didn't mean to blow up at you like that. It's just....” She looks to be at a loss for words for a second.

“It's just that we all thought you were gone.” She shrugs. “Let's not talk about it. It's over, and you're ok, so it all worked out.”

“Fair enough, I guess.” You say, checking your watch again, and realizing you're gonna have to shoot through the intel and weather shops now, in order to get all your shit knocked out.

Merlin seems to have joined you while you talked with Ice- you didn't notice her till she had you wrapped up in a hug, her arms wrapped around your stomach, her head barely reaching your sternum. “Morning Frank!” She grins up at you. “We need to hurry if we want to be ready to go. Katya's already up and getting her strikers preflighted!”

Your preflight checks are truncated by necessity- the squadron is already in the air aboard their carrier jet as you taxi, though you expect to catch up to them shortly after takeoff, and there's a flight of Mk.4 arrows flying with them right now anyway.

The night sky is split by the aurora, which, depending on who you talk to, is either good or bad luck.

You and Katya taxi out to the runway together, and you catch a glimpse of light as her 'radar' flares to life, the red-colored cubes mimicking the elements on an AESA radar set flickering into existence briefly, then dying off as she calibrates her striker's inbuilt systems for her abilities.

“Revenant flight, the runway is yours. Good luck and good hunting.” The senior controller says over the radio.

It's gonna be a good day today.
>>
and that's it for this week! Sorry for the shorter run time, I have to go in earlier than usual tomorrow, and I need some time to shower and shave and everything still, so...

Hopefully next week I can run a long thread!
