Fortunately, she seems to notice, slowing her own pace to a walk. She looks at you for a second before looking down at her shoes. “My love, you do not have to feign weakness for my sake. We can easily continue, we are only halfway through my usual course. Perhaps you could lead? I understand if my pace was too slow for you.” she mumbles, not looking up.

Another ten miles is right out- you might be able to do it- maybe- but you'd be barely able to walk after that, and you do have things to do today. You think you could push yourself for another five, but it'd hurt pretty badly at the end and you're damn sure you'd want a nap in the afternoon, and you don't think you've got the time for it.

Of course, you're also positive she'd agree to cut her usual run short here if you told her to- she's both under orders and so far, been perfectly willing to accept that everything you've done so far, you've done for her benefit- and you're almost interested to see what kind of excuse she'll make up for you if you tell her ten miles is plenty.

While you'd much rather just call it quits now, you also don't really want to give her any reason at all to think you're weak. While you're pretty sure she wouldn't- and would, in fact, more likely accept that you were quitting for her benefit, you'd also rather not test your luck.

“Five more, you lead.” You say, after a second's thought. “But we do have other things to do today.”

She nods. “I am sorry my darling, I did not think of that. I will set a quick pace.”

Her 'quick pace' turns out to be nearly a dead sprint- just shy of it, but definitely not sustainable over long distances. You're glad you skipped breakfast- you'd have thrown up for sure at about the end of mile three- but you finish the run out regardless, even managing to catch your breath on the walk back to your assigned suites- used for visiting VIPs, they're very, very nice, even if there's a pair of VDV troops on duty outside your door- and Stalinka typically in the lounge with you, drinking water and watching you when she thinks you aren't looking.

Her own rooms, as it turns out, are just across the hall from yours- even if she doesn't seem to sleep at all. She leads you there first, apologizing that she'll only take a minute.

Her rooms, while laid out almost identically to your own, are far more spartan in their furnishing. There's no pictures anywhere, and only a few paintings- mostly landscapes, the kind of thing you'd see in a hotel back home- hang from the walls.

She disappears back into her room, closing the door behind her with a slight blush when she looks back at you. You hear the shower turn on a minute later. You've got a couple minutes to look around if you want- or, you guess, you could just sit down and wait.

[x] Rather not get caught poking through something I shouldn't. Let's just sit.

Despite your curiosity about her, you'd really rather not have to answer to Stalinka why she caught you poking through her underwear drawer. Not that you expect to find it out here, but still.

You sit down on the couch in the lounge area- the suites both have a large central area, one that wouldn't be out of place in a five star hotel back home- that's bordered by one wall that separates the bedroom and bathroom, and an open kitchen and bar area. The back wall is glass, with a pair of sliding doors to an outside deck. You can't help but note that there's nothing on the deck here- not even the furniture present on your own. Maybe she had it all removed?

Despite the relative bareness of the room, there's a few things scattered about- most of them military in nature. An arms rack near the door holds the submachine gun you're so well acquainted with, along with one of those compact assault rifles- a kirnkov, if you remember correctly- and a dragunov rifle. A PKM machine gun and another weapon- far too big to be designed as a man portable system- round out the collection.

You wonder why you've never seen her use any of these weapons and shake your head- glad, at least, she's never seemed to have them.

The shower shuts off and she comes back out- clipping on a necklace under her dog tags. You don't get a real good look at it, but you could almost swear it's made of fibersteel. It's definitely the correct color for it.

1/2

You cross the hall to your own room, exchanging a nod with the VDV guard at the door and ignoring the short exchange between him and Konstantina- though you can well guess what it entailed, given the laughter from the two guards afterward.

A quick shower later- and a change of clothes- and you're ready to go, grabbing your leather jacket- not the original, of course, that's still in Merlin's possession- but the second one you'd had made. The one that was supposed to be her christmas gift.

“Where do you wish to go first, my love?” Stalinka asks, looking at you briefly. “I know you will probably wish to talk to the... other... witches here on the base, and perhaps you will wish to tour their facilities. I am instructed to make sure you do not bother them in their private quarters, but I know that will not be a problem. Comrade General Putin also suggested you would perhaps like to tour the Lazarus facility and speak with one of the program heads. He also wished me to tell you that he has an offer he would like to extend in person, if you wish to hear it.”

[] “Let's go talk to the witches first. I'd like to get their impressions of this base.”

>>27524736
The thing is about that situation: we never actually got to hear all of what she was going to say. The news was old news, a replay of what had happened weeks before Wittman talked to us. In fact, when she was starting to explain, Jake cut her off, understandably upset.

We'll never know now. That's the interesting thing about social interaction, sometimes people do something that they will later regret.

[x] “Let's go talk to the witches first. I'd like to get their impressions of this base.”

“Let's go talk to the allied witches first.” You say. “I'd like to get their impressions of this base.”

Konstantina wrinkles her nose. “My love, they will all only say what you wish to hear to please you. Are you sure you do not wish instead to talk to comrade Putin?”

“I'm going to need those witches' stories to have any hope of convincing my superiors that this isn't just some trick.” You say. “Besides, I doubt they'll be all that interested in trying to seduce me this early on.”

She looks at you like you're insane. “Darling, you are too modest. I am sure they will. But, we will do as you wish.”

Heading downstairs, you step outside and into a waiting staff car. Konstantina gives the driver his orders, and you pull away from your building, headed towards the Lazarus complex and the witch quarters near there.

“I must remind my love that he is asked to not bother witches that do not wish to talk to him.” She says, again looking down at the floor of the car. “I cannot imagine that they would not wish to talk to you, but some of them, especially the ones who have just recently undergone treatment, may be in pain still. They do not benefit from having been designed to be upgraded easily.”

1/2

The witches are all housed in one large building- you suppose it makes defense easier, but it also seems to be one major target, putting all of them in one place like that. The door isn't guarded, but just inside, a quartet of VDV troops sit in an entryway, their weapons easily at hand. They look up and take you in, apparently not marking you as a threat, especially given your escort.

The building, for the most part, again reminds you of a middle to upper end hotel- the center is empty, allowing you to look up the ten or so floors to a skylight set above. The rooms ring this central space, which, on the bottom floor, houses what looks like a lounge with a small bar, and a fairly large dining area, with several tables surrounded by four to six chairs each.

“Many of them will be out using the recreational facilities.” Stalinka says. “There is a movie theater and a library available here, along with a few other things designed to help break monotony of being here.

Down in the lounge, a single witch is sitting on one of the chairs, leafing through a book, occasionally stopping to write something in a notebook of her own. The rest of the place, true to konstantina's word, seems empty, though you're sure, if you wait, you'll have plenty of chances to talk to other witches.

[x] Let's go talk to the one who's here, see what she has to say.

You decide that talking to the one who's here is probably the best option- afterall, you came to talk to witches, and not talking to witches seems silly. Besides, Putin will keep- you're sure you'll talk to him later.

You approach and set your bag down across from her, while Konstantina takes up a seat a respectful distance away- far enough that she doesn't appear to be eavesdropping, even if you're sure she is, but close enough to close the distance with you or the witch very quickly. You're not entirely sure if that's because she's being protective of you or if it's something else.

“Excuse me, Miss?” you say, sitting down, causing the witch to start. “I'm Commander Frank Bishop and-”

“You're not Russian!” she says, looking up at you. “Does this mean the war's over? Can I go home?”

[] “The war's not over, but you might be able to go home. Can I talk to you a bit?”
[] “You help me out, and I'll get you home.”

Apart from the fact that we don't really have that much say in whether the witch goes home or not, do we really want to send this girl back into the meatgrinder of WWIII when she might be needed to combat a possible second Martian Invasion?

I thought he meant "use one witch to beat another witch".

Theres no reason for Sanya to be here at this facility.

A great war hero would be watched like a hawk and the fact that she had family means she wouldn't leave by herself either.

Whats more this facility is for rehabilitation and rebuilding of injured witches. There is nothing to suggest that sanya requires that sort of treatment.

[x] “The war's not over, but you might be able to go home. Can I talk to you a bit?”

You shake your head. “The war's not over, but you might be able to go home. Can I talk with you a bit?”

Her face falls slightly- disappointment is clear on her face, but you can tell she's trying to not let it shot. “Oh- well, I guess.” she says. “How can I help?”

“Well,” You say, leaning forward. “I wanted to talk to you about this base and what's going on here.”

She nods. “Well, I guess they think the martians are going to come back, and that the war is their fault and Stalin is under martian control.” She says.

“Do you believe that?” you ask.

She hesitates, then nods. “I-I guess, yeah. There's a lot of girls here who probably would be crippled for life if they hadn't been brought back here, and we're all from all over. My friends, Kathrine and Jacqueline are out, but Kathrine's German-American and Jackie's from the UK.”

“How do they treat you?” You ask, looking around. “This hardly looks like a POW camp.”

She frowns a bit. “Well, it is and it isn't. They all treat us very well, and we're allowed a lot of freedom here on the base, but we're not allowed to leave and we can't get messages out. They say it's to protect the base and us but it's still hard. I- I miss my family, you know?” She sniffs. “Sorry. It's just- I wish I could tell them I was still alive, at least.”

TO prevent a propaganda coup. Imagine the effect of a great war hero defecting. They wont want that. ESPECIALLY after a family member already made a run for it.

"Just how many witches are here?" Rough number is fine.

"Do you mind if I ask what wounds you had, if any, before coming here?"

"What about training? Does they allow you do such things here?"

There's a good chance Putin doesn't have access to Sanya, and getting her out would not be subtle. He's far more likely to let one of the Lazarus witches go; at least Stalin (hopefully) doesn't know about them

>>27526968
It would also raise a lot of unnecessary eyebrows within the Russkie high command. I imagine that Sanya's well watched, so trying to get her to a random base in the middle of nowhere with no good reason would be a huge security risk

>>27526968
This is less about doing a good thing, and more about trying to get into Katya's pants. It's shallow as fuck, pls get out.

well, if we can't get her out, can we at least carry a recording or a legit letter from her to Katya? it will sure to make her feel much better later, trust me.

It's almost as if we want to reunite a friend with family she's been worrying about for the entire war. I'll be the first to admit the security risks are legitimate, which is why I'm not going for it personally, but man, with the way some people react it's like we're not allowed to help friends.

At this point I'm going to have to agree with >>27527018

We can certainly ASK, but I wouldn't hold your breath

I'm as much a fan of Adorable Cossack as the next man although I like Slider and/or Ice more than Katya but I just don't think that'll fly

>>27527033
Putin's unlikely to okay that. While it is a hell of a lot less risky than smuggling Sanya herself out, it only advances the goal of us getting into Katya's pants, and Putin's not going to stick his neck out for that.

And compromise everything by trying tl sneak a letter fron sanya to a base in the middle of nowhere where she has had no friends or family stationed at right undr the watching eyes of the KGB.

Stop posting.

>>27527018
no dummy, we torked her off majorly by going here. she's already scared we're wreckless and maybe doomed to have a sad hero's end. the girl is already a mental mess. that and she lost the connection she use to be able to send a signal to her. a word from her folks will do well. that and maybe make the other girls think higher of us too. not to mentchen that Sanya could sneak out some hidden info to us via that recording as well. stop thinking with your pants please.

We try to help a friend who has every reason to worry about her family, and you scream waifu.

Now who's being shallow here again? The points about the security risks are good, but can you please be less butthurt about this?
