Still, it looks like it's going to be a fight- while there's no dedicated soviet naval assets anyone's seen, there's plenty of fighters on the line at Keflavik, apparently. Latest intel has put their number at thirty plus migs and sukhois, though that doesn't seem too bad, compared to the swarms in Alaska and Japan. Thirty fighters? That's what, one engagement for you?

Of course, there's also significant air defense threats in the area- satellites and a few blackbird passes- and one recon witch pass- have confirmed everything in the book out there- someone thinks they're using those big typhoon subs of theirs to supply the place with heavier equipment, though it's just as possible they've used a couple container ships to move some heavier things into place. It's also possible they've airlifted in more than a little equipment- those big anatovs of theirs could make the flight, and can carry enough to be useful, you know.

You watch in interest as a pair of Seahawks wing their way in- you'd heard another witch unit was inbound, but no one seemed real sure of who it was. That alone is strange- there's not that many witch units in the navy, three, maybe four squadrons, and a couple of units attached to the special operations community. You don't think they aviators, and, if they are, they certainly don't have any Steelwing assets, since there's been no effort to clear out space in the hangar for even a single additional fighter.

2/3

The navy has more witches than that, it's just that the rest are assigned to conventional commands- like Merlin's sister, flying with VAW 113. In all honesty, commands like VF-3 are unusual in the extreme, kept together primarily because of US commitments to the UN Earth Defense Treaty. If any extraterrestrial threat- mars or otherwise- appears, you'll be seconded to the EDF as part of the treaty obligations. You're not exactly sure how that makes you feel, to be honest- rumors say the EDF would probably just use the unit as the core of a reformed JFW, but they're free to shuffle around personnel as they see fit.

Not that you expect that to be an issue. Mars pretty much shot it's bolt, according to people who're paid to know this sort of thing. The ones living on earth, even the ones in places like Roswell, are pretty heavily monitored, too, so there's not much to worry about there- and even if they weren't, there's not that many of them and most of them are pretty loyal, it seems like- you know there's a couple hundred in the Navy, for sure. The seabed colonies are a different story, of course, but they barely maintain a police force, let alone a standing military of any sort.

3/4 (oops)

“Hey Frank, who do you think that is?” Merlin's voice pulls your mind back from it's wanderings. You look at the pair of seahawks again as they flare for their approach, noting that neither carry many identifying marks beyond the US NAVY printed in large letters along their tail boom. While that's not exactly unusual, most units by now have started to adopt 'unofficial' art on their vehicles- your own aircraft's tail is a good enough example of this. It means that, whoever those choppers belong to, either they're brand new, just out of training and formation, or they're special operations and don't want to be recognizable.

better to control it than to repress it.

VMQ2 seems mired with inconsistencies no doubt due to the new fans who can't make up their minds on if they a Jager the second or someone different.

>>27010124

Considering the expert himself said the exact opposite, I'm inclined to disagree.

>>27010140
You over look the fact that he said something similar about repressing it and considering Lucas is basically in a wetworks sort of thing, it'll be hard to keep up a knightly code of honor and when that lapses a mess is going to happen.

It'd be better if Lucas was an engineer i.e. a class that wouldn't have to get messy as much as others.

Gentlemen, could you keep VMQ to VMQ and SWQ to SWQ? Let's try and not cross the streams here.

>>27010066
The new rotation she put in place was because the witches were having trouble keeping up with Frank and the twins because while the Wyverns can loiter for long periods on patrol, the witches have much shorter times they can stay in the air and it was starting to become a problem.

Her system is fine and is better thought out than tiring witches out each time they go on patrol.

Now can we just stop this like Bit said?

Now for something more on topic: What are the odds of talking to Maverick getting interrupted by Russians attacking?

[x] “Not a clue, but I've been meaning to go talk to Patty. Let's see if we can go find her.”

Arguing with Ice before a major operation is not a good idea. For all the shit Frank has been getting over frazzled nerves, I'm amazed we haven't called her out on that.

Besides, one of the things we chatted with Slider about is that we've kinda left Patty out in the cold, and I imagine that's only been exacerbated since the accident. Lets chat with her.

[x] “Not a clue, but I've been meaning to go talk to Patty. Let's see if we can go find her.”

You shake your head, pushing yourself off the railing and grimacing at the shooting pain in your shoulder- must have been leaning on it too long.

“Not a clue, but I've been meaning to go talk to Patty.” You say, rotating your arm and rubbing it a bit- the pain fades quickly, thankfully. You'd have been worried if it didn't,honestly. “Let's see if we can go turn her up.”

Merlin nods, casting one look back over her shoulder at the pair of choppers, their blades spinning on inertia now as their crew chiefs open their doors and a small group of witches- maybe eight, total, disembark.

A couple minutes of searching- also known as poking your head into Ice's office and asking Slider, who's in there talking with the boss- turns up Maverick down in the hangar, helping her ground crew and Goose go over their strikers.

Their strikers are housed along the back end of the hangar deck, near the pair of Wyverns. While they're not large in and of themselves- they take up the total space of both of your jets, actually- They still seem like they get more space than they should- even your wyverns are crammed into the bay without too much space available between them, just enough to work on them.

Goose, sitting on the deck of her striker stand, swinging her legs off the side while the tech crew adjusts something in them, sees you first. “Hi Samantha! Hi Frank!” she says, waving.

Merlin smiles and waves back- she gets along with Goose about as well as she does anyone else, though it seems like it's more of an even friendship there, not the little sister thing she's got going with the rest of the witches.

1/2

Mav, standing next to her strikers, talking to the sole tech working on them, nodding occasionally, turns around at Goose's greeting. She doesn't echo it, watching you with a look on her face you can't readily identify. You're not sure if she's happy or apprehensive- she's not been avoiding you, not exactly, but it's not like either of you has made a significant effort to see the other.

“Isn't that cold?” You ask, nodding at her bare feet, noting that, Goose, too, has her shoes and socks off.
They must have been testing magical systems- that's the only reason you can think that they'd be barefoot- it's the only time you've seen any of them barefoot, honestly. Even on alert, they wear shoes they can get in and out of easily.

Patty shakes her head. “Nah, you get used to it.” She says, shrugging. You watch her carefully for the tell-tale smirk that'd herald a lewd comment to follow that- none appears. Maybe she has-

“Kinda like a small-” She continues, before you interrupt her.

“Hey!” You say. “You need to be careful what urban legends you repeat. One of these days, you might just find out which ones are true!”

She turns around at that, shaking her head. “With you?” She says. “Nah, that'd be kinda weird. You're like my brother, Frank.”

“Well,” You say with a shrug. “At least you can't say I never offered.”

She laughs again. “Maybe if the rumors had been a bit more flattering, I'd take ya up on that offer. Now, what can I do for ya?”

[] “Well, you could start by taking off your clo- I mean, I wanted to talk with you, if you've got the chance.”

[x] “Well, you could start by taking off your clo- I mean, I wanted to talk with you, if you've got the chance.”

“Well,” you say with a grin. “You could start by taking off your clo- I mean, I wanted to talk with you, if you've got the chance.”

Mav grins a bit. “You sure? I mean, we'd attract a crowd, here.”

“Pfft.” You say, looking around to make sure Merlin's out of earshot. She and Goose both seem to be wrapped up in their own conversation. “What if I'm an exhibitionist?”

Patty laughs. “As if. Though I bet Katya would like that. Anyway, yeah, I’ve got a minute.” She says. “But I'm not walking that far, I don't want to put my boots back on.”

“I could always carry you.” You offer, jokingly.

“Aw, hell naw.” She says. “Then I'd have to deal with Ice and Slider and Katya. Fuck that.”

You laugh. “Fair enough. What's with them, anyway?” You ask.

Patty looks at you like you're beyond hopeless. “I- really? Ya know what? Naw. You're on your own here. I hope that's not what you wanted to talk about.”

You shake your head with another laugh. The two of you walk over to the port side opening on the deck, behind a hornet from VFA-86, the sidewinder logo on the tail painted in a dull black and grey scheme.

“Hey, listen, Frank.” Mav says, leaning on the chain and looking out over the ocean. The fleet's moving north east- you're due to link up with some Canadian ships, then proceed to your station off Iceland while the marines hit the beach. “I'm really sorry about the thing off California. I didn't think about it at all, and I know it doesn't mean much, but I'm sorry about that.”

I'm pretty sure Frank is well aware that both Ice and Slider care deeply about him. Slider more or less broke it down for Frank, regarding Ice and her daddy issues, Slider is physically affectionate and was almost moved to tears when Frank reminded her firmly about his responsibility as an aviator, and Katya may as well be wearing a sign that reads "PUT YOUR POTATO IN MY BORSCHT, FRANK BISHOP. DO IT NOW."

Hell, if Frank doesn't know that the girls LOVE HIM after he came back as the Ghost of Christmas Presents, which ended up with the whole lot of them tacking him to the ground in a big, weepy mess, there are no heroes left in man.

He can't even crack jokes about playing hero around Ice or Slider, and Merlin is so attached to Frank I bet she'll make Kenji or whomever where a FrankMask whenever they snuggle up to read WitchComix together.

Katya will want Frank to do something but end up failing

Slider, Mav and Sharktwins will troll anyone happily.

Ice will restrain herself and most likely the second easiest target for orders.

Goose and Merlin are poor battle causalities.

[] “Not your fault, I didn't think it would be an issue either.”

“Not your fault, Patty.” You say, looking out over the ships you can see- even a few miles off and out this side, the fleet's pretty impressive. “Shit, I didn't think it'd be an issue either.”

She shrugs. “Yeah, I figured you'd say that. I still feel guilty. Shit, if you hadn't punched out when you did, I don't know if you'd have walked away. You have some amazing reflexes man, that thing couldn't have even started to skid before you were going for the handles.”

“You get a feel for those kinds of things.” You say. “Like the plane is an extension of yourself and-”

“Oh, don't you start in on that bullshit too.” She says, sounding exasperated. “Rick used to pull the same shit, about feeling the target and being one with the missile and all that shit.”

“In bed, too?” You ask, grinning.

“Bah.” She responds. “Like you'd want to know what we did. Anyway, don't try that quasi-mystical pilot bullshit with me. How'd you even know?”

You shrug, leaning against the chain yourself. “I don't know. It just felt wrong, it did the whole flight. Something was off about that tomcat, and I still don't know what it was. It just... quit, ya know?”

1/2

She nods. “Sure, but there's that pilot voodoo bullshit again.”

You laugh. “There's plenty of cases of pilots doing that kind of shit! Look at that chief test pilot, what was his name? Young? Something like that. Dude's legendary for doing that kind of shit.”

Mav laughs. “Yeah, and he was a wartime ace with multiple decorations.”

“So am I.” You point out.

“And he didn't have some sort of messiah witch in his aircraft.” She adds. “Tell the truth dude, if Merlin had been there, could you have gotten that jet down in one piece?”

You look back over your shoulder- where Merlin is standing in Goose's strikers, still in their rack- as the techs work on some system and the two young witches chat away. She waves at you and you nod back.

“C'mon Frank. Could you have gotten that plane down with Merlin in the back seat? What about if Katya was a trained backseater? What about Ice, could you have landed with Ice in the back seat?” She presses.

[] “If I'd had Merlin in the back, we'd have never found out, you'd have never gotten the chance to pass that close to me. I don't know about if Katya had been trained for it, or if Ice was there though.”

Honestly I have difficulty reconciling her characterisation in SWQ with the show itself. She seems a lot more ~ara ara~ motherly in the show. In the quest, she's repressed and dutiful. Sort of like a slightly less stern Trude.

To be fair, it's pretty certain that only happens during extended use, and if it's a quick pop in and out, nothing is likely to happen.

The important word, of course, being "likely", a concept whose implications you seem to understand.

>>27014403
What does Goose have to do with this? And, at any rate, her bit before was stated to be a particularly bad case.

>>27014391
>incompatible magic or something like that
Because the techs back in Cali totally wouldn't have spoken up about it if it was a concern.

If there was any sort of power problem I'd say it would be a lack of it on the others' part seeing as when Merlin's slotted in she's interfacing with a lot more tech than just a pair of strikers.

>>27014452
Yeah, I'd like to think the Wyvern's a bit...wilder than a pair of strikers. If the interface works as an extension of the Witch's abilities and senses, Goose would be getting exposed to...well, nothing like she's ever experienced before. Hell, I wouldn't want any of the girls to just hop in without clearing it with Merlin. They worry about rocket legs. Merlin, when she's in the Wyvern, can feel pain when it takes damage to any location on its body, and she's aware of its various systems.

It'd be like putting a dog's conciousness inside a human body, the dog wouldn't know what the fuck.

>>27014523
>Merlin, when she's in the Wyvern, can feel pain when it takes damage to any location on its body, and she's aware of its various systems.

Wasn't that ruled as being a result of her machine empathy or whatever since she's able to talk to all sorts of aircraft?

>>27014466
Because the techs totally had time to explain every single nuance of its operation to us, amirite? They may simply have assumed we weren't stupid enough to stick another witch in there without checking with them.

It costs us maybe a minute to check in with somebody who knows a lot more than we do. It might cost us a hell of a lot more if we just stick a witch into a multi-million dollar experimental jet without a single though of caution.

>>27014574
Because when she mentioned others trying out the Wyvern that's something Merlin totally would've held back information on, amirite?

>>27014611
BITCH HELD OUT ON US OVER HER NIPPONESE BOY TOY WE CAN'T TRUST HER ANYMORE

>>27014523
Even unarmed (cause I doubt they'd arm the Wyvern until needed) Mav could do a lot of damage to the system without realizing it.

Let's not tempt Murphy or Ghost. He's already fucked us over once before for dicking around. I doubt Ghost will hesitate to fuck us over again.

>>27014611
Granted, unlikely.

But for the love of God, do you understand why people buckle seatbelts? It's called "better safe than sorry".

>>27014639
Guess all that's left is to introduce her to Mr. Canopy Top Gun style, right? It'll take some work to make it look like an accident, sure, but in the end it'll be worth it. Then we can have the best girl, ██████, riding shotgun.

>>27014707
I just enjoy arguing. It's a family thing.

[x] “Hey, let's find out! We can fire it up on the APU and try it out.”

“Well, I don't know, but let's find out!” You say, turning around. “We've got an APU hooked up, and the crew's all here, so it should be pretty easy.”

Patty shrugs. “Sure. Beats acting like a battery for a while, anyway.”

You walk back over to where Merlin and Goose- both out of the strikers, now, sitting on the deck while the crew closes up the access hatches- are. Merlin looks over at you as you walk up.

“Hey Merlin, you think it'd be ok if we put Mav in the back seat to see if your magical thingamabobs are the same as a striker's?” You ask, jerking a thumb back at Patty.

A look of concern crosses Merlin's face briefly, but she shakes her head. “N-no, as long as she doesn't try and reset them, it should be fine.”

You nod. “You can sit up in the front office, if you want, I've got the MFDs up there and you can monitor it all, if you want.”

Merlin shakes her head. “N-not really. All the system controls are in my part of the cockpit, you just have emergency stuff. I'll have to get in and start everything up, then she can try it out, though, if she wants.”

1/3

“Try what out?” Ice says, walking up. “You're not about to do something stupid, are you Frank?”

“Hardly. We were going to see if Merlin's interface in the Wyvern is the same as a striker interface.” You say. “She was helping them run tests on your shit, and me and Patty were curious.”

“Hmm.” Ice says. “Merlin said it was ok?”

Merlin nods. “Y-yeah. I th-think so, Miss Ice.”

Ice shrugs as Slider walks up. “Sure, let's see. Go ahead and set it up.”

You climb up onto the small ledge above the left side intake, following, carefully, the marked path on the back of the big fighter to the handholds running across the 'canopy'. “Don't step off that path.” You warn Mav as she follows you up.

“Fragile, aren't they?” She says, looking across the fighter's back.

You shake your head. “Not really, but picky about areodynamics. Don't need funk from your feet all over the back of my jet.”

“Har-har.” She responds. “Ok, how do I do this?”

“Wait for Merlin to set it up, just sit right there.” You say, hitting the retract control on the side of your ejection seat and dropping down into the dim cockpit. “Ah, shit. Hey! Someone get me a headset!”

Merlin peers over the edge of the hexagonal hatch over your cockpit. “H-here Frank.” She says, handing down one of the ground crew's lightweight headsets. You plug it into the fighter's dataport- where the leads from your vest usually go. In this case, most of the 'plug' is just empty, with just the intercom and radio leads actually used by the headset.

The two of you get the fighter on bare tick over- just the basic systems to run the magical interfaces and their associated systems. You remain in your cockpit as you hear Merlin's seat climb back out on it's rail.

2/3

“Ok, I'm in.” Mav says, a second later, and you hear the motors behind you rolling the seat back down. “This is a bit different. Where's the ports?”

“Y-you have to slide them towards you, Miss Patty.” Merlin says. “Hit that switch r-right there.”

“Ok, got it.” Mav says.

You wait about two seconds before you hear a muted cry. “What's going on back there?” You demand, reaching over for the killswitch for the better part of the aircraft's systems.

“M-miss Patty!” Merlin exclaims over the intercom. “Frank, kill the systems!”

You trip the killswitch, pulling your headset from the port and standing up on your ejection seat, pulling yourself up and out of the now-dark cockpit with your arms.

“Merlin, what happened?” You ask, looking down into the back office- where Patty is slumped over in the chair. “She ok?”

“I-I don't know! Frank, I'm so s-sorry!” Merlin says, practically in tears.

On the other hand, we did get permission beforehand, so it isn't entirely our fault.

lets not panic yet!
this is still an intresting note we found. if normal witches can't use this, then merlin just can't use strikers either. i think Merlin is not really a "standard" witch, but a completely new breed.

I count this a lesson learned. You will screw us at every opportunity; merely ameliorating the risks is not enough.
