One near-miss by lightning down for the night, and I'd rather not shoot for two.

or one that doesn't miss. that'd suck. Be a pretty interesting scar to add to the collection though! haha!

anyway.

“Mail call!” Slider gleefully yells, dumping the contents of the mail crate on your head, covering your area of the couch in letters.

Should have taken your cue from Ice, who'd been slowly moving away from you after initially plunking herself down right next to you. While you'd like to say something about that, and about her not warning you of the incoming mail blizzard, you busy yourself sorting the letters and trying to throw them like ninja stars at their intended recipients.

“Let's see......” You mutter, picking up the first handful. “Ice, Ice, Slider, Alyssa, Ice, me, me... hey! Hey Merlin, you got a couple!” You refrain from trying to peg your RIO with a deadly letter, and instead hold one out, while turning over the other.

“Hey, Merlin, who's Kenji?” You ask, and she squeaks, snatching the letter out of your hand and clutching it to her chest. You quirk an eyebrow at this, and look at Ice, and you both look at Merlin, who's turned the most interesting shade of red you've ever seen.

1/2
>>
Merlin, for her part, without looking at you, picks up enough of the letters to clear a small space next to you, and sits down, burying her head in your side. Ice grins over at you, and Slider leans across the back of the couch.

“So, Merlin, who's Kenji?” You hear her ask, as you continue passing out the mail. Merlin doesn't respond, instead hugging you- her typical response to not wanting to deal with something.

“Last two are for you, boss.” You say, handing them to her over Merlin's head. Her grin fades a bit as she looks at the return addresses.

“Hey, Raich? These are those letters we were waiting on. Wanna come up to the office for a minute?” She says. Slider looks over at her. “Damn, already? Yeah, ok. I'll ask Samantha who this Kenji is later.”

You watch the two of them head upstairs with more than a bit of passing interest. As much as you get the gut feeling those letters somehow involve you and Merlin, you still have to talk to Merlin herself about what happened up there- and Nixon is still waiting on a response from you.

[x] Go see what those letters are about.

You're torn. On the one hand, your curiosity is scream at you, telling you need to know what's in those letters that Ice and Slider are discussing.

On the other hand, you're protective instinct and duty as aircraft commander are both telling you that you need to talk to Merlin about the incident a few days ago, and get that sorted out. Nixon is no doubt anxious for a response.

Finally, you settle for a middle ground. If there's anyone you want around when you're trying to tell Merlin you're not mad at her, it'll be those two. Well, those two or Katya, but she's crashed up in the bedrooms- aggressor duty is running her ragged more than combat was. Of course, you're also pretty sure not even she can rack up the flight hours she is and not start to show it. Rumor has it she's been up on almost every hop, plus her classroom time on the ground. Hell, she's hardly been around the house, though she's buzzed it a couple times on the way back from a hop.

“C'mon Merlin,” You say, patting her on the back. “Let's go see if those letters are about us.”

Merlin doesn't respond, and instead just crawls around your back, waiting for a piggy-back ride. You oblige with a small chuckle. She'd eventually get one, you knew that from the beginning.

Upstairs, they've got the office door closed, and you can hear their muffled voices through it, though you can't make anything out.

[x] Knock.

Electing to knock, but having your hands full, you instead opt to use your forehead. You get through about the third 'knock' when Slider opens the door. She just looks at you and shakes her head, digging in her blouse pocket for a second and pulling out a five dollar bill.

“Good job, Asshat.” she gripes, handing the bill to Ice, who lays it out on the desk. You grin.

“Well, close the damn door. And sit down, you might as well.” She says, occupying her chair along the wall. “

You kneel down long enough for Merlin to drop off your back, though she continues to keep you interposed between herself and Ice and Slider as much as she can. You take a seat on the small sofa in the room- the one you'd brought up here to do the majority of your work on, just because desk chairs suck and no one said you couldn't. A pile of paperwork- yours- still sits on the table next to it, along with stale coffee and a flat can of coke from the night after the turbine blade almost went. You note, somewhat drily, that there's a new stack of paperwork waiting for you on the table as well.

Ice taps one of the letters with a finger idly, looking like she's searching for how best to start.

Fortunately for her, Slider lacks those frilly things known as 'tact' and 'softening the blow' which, according to her, are bullshit and for pussies anyway. Her words, not yours.

“You two have managed to confuse every witch scholar in the US. And a couple in Canada. And one really old, really respected matron. Oh, and both of you are up for Congressional Medals of Honor for Tanana.” She says, bluntly. “Frank, they think you're a Gnome. Except you don't really fit what we know about them.”

You frown. “Care backing up real fast and going over that again, Slider? Maybe a bit slower this time?”
You ask.

She takes a breath, but Ice cuts her off.

“We've been forwarding after actions and some other observations from around the squadron up to the academies.” Ice says. “I've still got a few friends at Annapolis, And it turns out that Nicole's sister, the one commanding your sister's unit over in Japan? She had some contacts at the Citadel and VMI and was more than willing to help us out.”

“Ok, and they don't know what's going on. Is that somehow new?” You ask.

Ice shakes her head. “They rooted through every history document they could get their hands on. Our archives aren't as extensive as some of the ones in Europe or Asia, but they're pretty good.” She looks at you two. “There's nothing like this we've seen. Ever. At least, not that's been recorded.”

“But,” Slider says, cutting in, “They want to. Pretty damn badly. Ice's friends don't have the clout to do a damned thing, but they've passed up to people who can.” She shoots a glare back at Ice, who's shoulders slump.

“They've put in requests- both formal and back-channel- to pull you and Merlin from active combat and send you back to an academy so they can try to figure out you two.” Ice says. “Nixon's our biggest advocate, here. He's flatly refused everything so far, going as far as issuing an order that all personnel transfers into and out of this unit and it's postings have to be cleared through him.”

“But I thought-” You start.

Ice shakes her head. “He's just going by what we said, what? Three or four months ago, on the Sara? He's not letting them do anything because Merlin said she didn't want to go back, and we supported it.” She smiles, weakly. “He may be old, but he's a hell of a politician.”

“And you two would be going back to school if he wasn't.” Slider says, looking at you. “But he's a navy fixture. He's been around since what, the mars war? He's damned famous for his exploits off the Oriskany back in the sixties and seventies, and he's about untouchable, even for the matrons.”

“And I've already talked to him,” Ice says, quietly. “If you two transfer out, I'll resign.”

[x] Say that part again, boss?

You frown, narrowing your eyes to slits. “Say that part, again, there, boss?”

“If you two are transferred out of the unit, I'm prepared to hand in my resignation.” Ice says, looking straight at you. “It was my fault this even got to this level. If I hadn't started asking for help in figuring you two out, and just listened to Rachel, we wouldn't be in this mess.”

“Fucking stupid.” Slider says. “What, you make one mistake, and now all of a sudden you can't trust yourself again? Jesus Christ, Tabby. I thought we worked through this shit in the academy.”

“I let my curiosity get the better of me, Raich. And Frank and Samantha are the ones that are going to suffer if we can't kill this thing and- “ Ice responds, before Slider cuts her off.

“And what if it happens in combat and lives are on the line and someone dies because of it and a bloo bloo bloo bloo harden the fuck up, Tabby.” Slider yells, making you glad the door's closed. Merlin's managed to worm her way behind you again, hiding. “Shit happens. We've got Nixon on our side and-”

1/2
>>
“And he's old. What happens if he dies? He could, you know. Stroke, heart attack... shit happens.” Ice says.

“Well, then, little miss 'I always fuck up good things', it falls down to YOU. Why is it you can strap strikers to your fucking legs and constantly forget you're a fucking witch?!” Slider responds. “If you don't want them gone, nobody can touch them, did you forget that? Witch units aren't under the normal fucking chain of command where personnel are concerned. They can't even transfer people in without either the CO or XO's approval.”

“Then where did the twins come from? Or Katsumi and Ayumi?” Ice asks. “I never approved-”

“I did.” Slider says, talking over Ice's protest. “Oh, I know. Rachel never does her paperwork.” She scoffs. “This place would fucking burn down without me.”

[x] Why? Shit, you didn't think we'd actually, ya know, put up with someone else, did you?

You look at Slider, who looks at Ice, then nods.

Then tackles her off her chair in a crushing hug. Slider's really, really good at that.

Merlin climbs up onto your shoulders as you stand up, a far better perch for her than piggy-back.

You walk over to where Ice, torn between laughing and crying, is hugging her friend back. “Shit, boss.” you say with a smile on your face. “You don't think we'd, ya know, actually put up with someone else, do you? You're our friend.”

“A-and imagine if we got someone like that one Air force colonel.” Merlin says, from above you. “Frank might explode!”

“Indeed.” you agree. “Poof. Frank parts everywhere.”

“Y-you guys are idiots.” Ice says, still trying to decide if she wants to laugh or cry. “What happens if I screw up in combat?”

You shrug. “Then I get to play the hero some more, I think.” You say, a grin on your face. “I'm kinda getting a taste for it.”

Slider punches you in the leg for that one. “Stop tryna get yourself killed.” she says, a dangerous gleam in her eye.

You take a step back, out of her immediate reach. “You know, there are more important things to focus on, here.” You say, philosophically. “Like, ya know,”

You look up at Merlin. “Who's Kenji?”

She flush an immediate, furious red and squirms, trying to hide somewhere.

[] Let her out of it this time. “You ok to fly again, Merlin?”

>>
>>24966703
I personally think we should go down the "Bro-Harem" [Broem?] route. We make the squadron into a cast iron Band of Bros, who may or may not want to do us; if they do, awesome, if they don't we have the best friends on the face of the planet.

For half of them, there is no "May not" pretty sure Ice, Katya and Slider wanna jump us hard, Konstantina may or may not depending on if she actually understands how babies are made.(Yes I know she's not in the squad.) The rest, excluding the twins who are in the air are definite no's.
>>
>>24966809
The only way to achieve a harem end is to ensure that all members of said harem love the other members and in turn feel loved by them. To that end we need far more positive interaction between the three most prominent ladies.

>>24966866
you lost all credibilitty the moment you said "harem end". That might fly in some fantasy setting but not here.
>>
>>24966967
Regardless of the Harem bits, fostering better relations among the squadron is a good idea, it helps improve teamwork and improve morale
>>
>>24966967
Still, the intent behind it is worthwhile.

A band of brothers style bromance is always welcome.
>>
>>24967188
admittedly, the squad's already pretty tight-knit...well, around Fronk anyways. They got 11 different kinds of combat ineffective when he disappeared over alaska
>>
>>24967216
not to mention Merlin going full-ptsd mode
>>
>>24967216
Well.

We need to wean them off being dependent on us.

I don't think it was so much being dependent but rather worried sick about him.

[x] Home in on this point. Who is Kenji, anyway?

It's kind of cute, really- Merlin wants to hide, but she's up higher than anyone else, and she can't very well get off your shoulders very easily.

Well, not unless she was a ninja or something, you suppose. You're reasonably sure she's not.

“Is he a pilot?” Slider asks, helping Ice up off the floor.

Merlin shakes her head.

“Hmm. Is he in the Navy?” You ask. She nods.

“the IJN?” Ice asks, sitting back down. Merlin nods again.

“What's he do?” Slider asks. Merlin doesn't say anything, still trying to hide.

“well, we know he's not a pilot. Is he aircrew?” You ask. She shakes her head.

“Hmm. So he doesn't fly.” Slider says. “Is he wing?” Merlin nods.

“Ground crew?” Ice asks. Merlin shakes her head.

“So he's with their wing, but he's not a pilot and he's not ground crew. What's that leave?” You ask.

“Maybe he's... you know, I don't have a damn clue.” Slider says.

“Shit, who do we have that's aviation and not a pilot or ground crew?” You ask. “Weapons guys? Do they count?”

Ice shrugs. “I dunno.” Slider says.

“Hey, is he like, a specialist?” She asks. Merlin nods.

>>
“Well, there's that.” You say. “He enlisted?” She shakes her head.

“Bah. Officer trash.” You say with a grin. “All those guys are good for is bossing the hard working, honest guys around and collecting medals.”

Merlin's managed to lean her weight back far enough that you have to take a step to correct it, but she's still amusingly unable to get out of the spotlight on this one.

“Are we going to get to meet him, hon?” Ice asks. Merlin nods.

“Soon?” Slider and you ask, almost in unison. Merlin pauses before shrugging.

“You really like this guy, huh?” You say. You can practically feel the heat radiating off Merlin after that question as her blush intensifies. She nods.

[x] “Well, good. Wouldn't do for you to bother with someone you didn't.”

You look at Slider and she nods, getting the unspoken message. You'll support Merlin on this, now, but you're reserving judgment till you meet the guy.

“I'm glad.” You say, looking up at Merlin, and her eyes get wide, surprised. “It just wouldn't do for you to bother with someone you didn't.”

Merlin smiles tentatively, and nods.

“You good to fly again?” You ask. She nods again, her smile broadening somewhat.

“Good 'cos all this walking around was- “ You start.

A knock on the door interrupts you.

“What?” Slider barks, and the door opens, revealing Goose on the other side.

Slider winces. “Sorry kiddo. What's up?”

“Y-you should come downstairs.” She says, her voice strained. “There's some- some bad news.”

You share a look with Slider, and Merlin drops down to a more stable perch on your back, allowing you to get down the stairs behind Ice, Slider and Goose without too much trouble.

Downstairs, the news is on, showing scenes taken from a ship outlying a fleet- the combined pacific force, you realize. Columns of smoke crawl skyward from several ships, while, as you watch, a smaller ship in the distance- a destroyer, maybe, slips beneath the waves.

“The Japanese navy won't comment on damage yet, “ the reporter on scene says. “But from what we've seen, at least three carriers took hits. The USN has only confirmed that the USS Saratoga has been damaged, but hasn't commented on any other ships.”

You can feel a potent mix of emotions building inside you, outrage that your carrier got hit, sadness that you weren't there to do anything about it, and more sadness when you realize that you probably lost friends. Mostly, you feel anger. Just... white-hot hate flowing through you.

“The navy won't comment on the extent of the fleet damage, but the IJN has already issued a release praising the masterful ship handling of the Saratoga's captain, Captain Emile Blackwell.” The reporter continues. “The Saratoga took multiple hits, and apparently had developed quite a list, but, according to the IJN, her captain ordered counter-flooding and kept her flight deck in the fight. Quite an impressive feat of ship handling, if it's true.”

“Jesus....” Slider says.

so how much effort is being spent towards miniaturizing munitions currently? because with the tech advances going on, its likely something that could have a relevant impact pretty soon, and would mean we could go all macross on swarms of enemies
>>
sooo whats the bet that one of the letters to us that we completely ignored came from konstantina?

[x] Ice, tell Nixon we're ready for his show. We want back in the fight as soon as possible.

“Ice,” You say, your voice far more calm and collected than you feel it has any right to be. “Tell Nixon we're ready for his show. We want back in the fight as soon as possible.”

Ice tears her eyes off the screen long enough to look at you, and nods. “I'll let him know.” She says. “Plan for tomorrow or the day after.”

You nod, and sit down, watching as the news repeats the same points a few times- no confirmations from either the IJN or USN on actual damage, though both claim the attacking force was almost totally obliterated. The Imperial Japanese Marines have gained a toehold in mainland China, despite a contested landing, though, and the Chinese bomber force and brown water navy took a beating, if you believe the IJN claims so far. Still, the USN has the dubious distinction of losing the only major surface combatant so far.

You sit down, wrapping one arm around Merlin's shoulders when she slides off your back and next to you. She's probably taking it about as well as anyone is. Slider's reaction is hard to judge, but looking at one fist, clenched hard enough that her knuckles are white, is a dead giveaway. The twins are watching, shocked at the video images- watching as a destroyer comes alongside the Saratoga. She's badly damaged, down in the water by a noticeable degree, but she's still under her own power and that's nothing but a good sign.

Goose is hugging Maverick, who's watching, speechless as the rest of you. Nobody in the room seems to want to say anything, all stunned. Your carrier was hit, and none of you could do a damned thing about it, sixty five hundred miles away.

Part of you is carefully scraping up that hate, bottling it up somewhere, telling you to use it later. Now is not the time. You can't do anything anyway, just wait. Wait and you'll have them.

You hope it's right.

And that's it for the night!

Next week, we'll be back in the air- I'm currently hunting down some good dogfight writin music. I think I've settled on some assault horizion tunes- the game might be all that is ass, but the music, as usual for an AC title, is good.

at least, in my opinion. i could be wrong. I suspect I'll be informed if I am. Haha!

anyway, guys, as always, hope you enjoyed, and we'll be back next week.

oh, and Mercs and witches? if anyone runs it, I've got dibs on 2. haha!

only now we see Goose and Maverick. I presume the return to combat means it's back to the stuff as a bunch of other threads, combat, Katya,combat,etc.

Quick! Brainstorming for Witches and Mercs! What should be in it?!
>>
>>24968962
Witches.
Mercs.
Outdated Strikers.
War crimes.
>>
>>24968962
OH! OH! I KNOW! Witches!
>>
>>24968962
a beginning a middle and a end
>>
>>24968962
>>24968973
>>24968979
Wait, should the MC be a Witch or a pilot?
>>
>>24968973
And tans for everyone.
>>
>>24968979
and Mercs!
>>24968973
>outdated strikers
That'd be interesting
>>
>>24968962
Besides a nice balance of interaction, action and humor (not so much lolrandum, but the sort of humor that might pop up in such a group)?

Or the matter of giving the major characters nigh-equal screen time?

Though I'd be the only one to suggest this as many others would prefer it to be /k/ masturbatory material.
>>
>>24969001
I'd say pilot or foot soldier just because I find it easier to relate to the non-sparkly elements
>>
>>24969001
It could be a hotseat type of deal. Switching POVs every other week.
>>
Rhodesian infantry
>>
>>24969026
I like this idea, I think I'll use it. What else do you guys want?
>>
>>24969260

I actually think tankers would be kinda nice, considering Mouse's update rate.

Not really feeling the hotseat idea though, I'd prefer it if wasn't used.
>>
>>24969285
Central Africa really doesn't do armor, unless you want to roll around in a Panhard.
>>
>>24968962
FUCKING HELICOPTERS
AND APCS
AND MINEFIELDS
>>
>>24968962
Africa-based Mercs? Then genocides, ethnic cleansing, warlords, child soldiers, starvation, warcrimes.
>>
>>24969841
I second the helicopters. We've been focusing entirely on the planes, something involving a gunship pilot or a helicopter Witch could give a very different view on conflicts.

Also there's only been one African witch in any bit of the franchise, she showed up in the semi-canon "Witches of the Sphinx" and also uses different Magic (no familiar).
