Frankly, it's kind of scary. The medical technology here is leaps and bounds ahead of anything you've ever seen before, and must be horrifically expensive. Konstantina's been no help there, mentioning only that the program that resulted in herself was far more expensive, and that the motherland could easily afford these things. You haven't seen Putin today, though you don't think you were supposed to, other than the offer Konstantina mentioned. You're pretty sure you can guess what it is, you're not sure how you feel about it, or taking him up on it. So far, the place has seemed on the level- even the allied witches have few complaints, other than not being allowed out, even on their striker flights they're monitored by Putins's guards.

Which leads to another question- you've seen some of his witches. More than a few of them wear the characteristic black bodysuit and red star of the Moscow academy witches Katya told you about. Those ones just regard you with a blank stare, or, at best, a look of confusion. They leave you alone, you think, entirely due to Konstantina's presence- whatever failings she may have in relationships, she appears to have one hell of a reputation on base. But how was Putin, who's apparently working against a good majority of the soviet government, able to get these witches, and then get them to remain loyal to him?

These are all questions you need to ask- and meant to ask earlier, but, apparently, you fell asleep en route somewhere, and Konstantina refused to wake you- or allow you to be woken without getting a few hours of sleep. It's hard to be angry at her, for whatever reason- she honestly seems to have felt she was acting in line with whatever plan you had when she allowed you to take a short nap. You woke up on your own after a couple hours- refreshed, but angry that you'd allowed yourself to slip like that. Maybe the five extra miles weren't a great idea, you muse, though it's too late to do anything about it now.

2/3

You've still got time to look around- you're told there's some more allied witches up on a guided training exercise with some of Putin's witches as escorts, or there's the Lazarus facility you could look through, though you're not sure what you'd see there. There's Putin's offer to consider, still, and, of course, you'd like to ask him a few more questions while you have the chance. You could also go see about trying to talk with some of the witches you'd met earlier, though you haven't seen them since Kathrine called you a 'stupid squid', and don't really know how to go about looking for them.

Slider is pure, so pure she is kinda disgusted by it because she knows other girls aren't as pure as she is. She acts the way she does because she wants to join what she perceives to be some sort of social club that currently consists of Maverick and...people she thinks have gone all the way, which includes anyone that isn't her.

Of course we don't know anything about Ice's relationship progress, if she's had former lovers, but she's probably been too frigid for that especially after being given a command (though I bet she's tried with Slider but it all got ridiculously awkward and the two never talked about it again). It's obvious that Katya has...experience, or at least attempts at experienced forced upon her. Fuckin' rapist reds.

[x] Let's go see what Putin's offer is.

You step out of the staff car long enough to stretch, carefully working the soreness out of your shoulder. Too many high-G turns throwing you against your straps has done some damage there, you think, though it's not bad, just annoying. Like so many things, you figure it'll just haunt you later in life.

Konstantina watches you for a second, then looks away when you turn to regard her. “I trust my darling slept well?” She mumbles, looking at her boots and twisting the toes of one in the dirt.

“Well enough,” You reply. “But we've got things to do. Let's go see what Putin wants.”

She smiles- you catch it on the corner of her lips, even with her looking down. “Of course, my love.”

She motions for you to get back in the car, then follows suit, closing the door behind her. Your driver, a younger trooper, apparently detached for the job, looks in his rear view at you. Konstantina gives him some quick orders in Russian, and you're off again, moving through the relatively empty streets of the post towards the admin building.

If 'quiet' described the base at your arrival, it certainly isn't now. The streets aren't busy by any stretch of the imagination, but all of the other traffic is military in nature. Trucks shuttling supplies and troops, a few of those lightweight tanks- BTRs or BMPs, you can't remember which- a pair of flatbeds with strikers in transport racks drive by, causing you to do a double-take.

1/2

“Those were NATO strikers!” You exclaim, looking over your shoulder. Sure enough, F-14 and F-15 model strikers occupy the transport racks, along with a scattering of Tornado and Mirage units.

Konstantina looks over her shoulder, then nods without every really directly looking at you. “Yes, I believe comrade Putin is allowing witches to be reunited with their equipment. The Icelander witches we met, they will fly soviet, of course. But the other girls, they have developed attachments to their equipment. Foolish, it is just equipment, but that is how they are.”

You don't respond, unsure of exactly what to say. You're saved from having to by the car coming to a sudden stop, pulling up outside the admin building. You and your escort are quickly waived through the guards- they seem to be thicker than usual, posted at more doors and junctions than you remember.

Putin's office is occupied by himself and Colonel Petrov. Konstantina closes the door when you step in, and Putin motions for you to sit.

“Commander Bishop.” He greets with a nod and an offered drink. “Have you been enjoying your stay?”

“It's hard to enjoy work no matter how you cut it,” You say, with a slight grin, “but it's not bad. It'd definitely not what I was expecting.”

Putin laughs at that. “That would usually be the case here. Many witches are terrified of what will happen to them when they're first brought here. As you can see, most of them quickly find that their fears are completely baseless. Even the troublemakers.”

You smile. “I seem to recall meeting a certain British and a certain German witch...”

He grunts. “Yes, those two. However, while their antics can be amusing, I have a proposal for you.”

You nod, and he continues without prompting.

“We know you were badly injured over Alaska. While we have every faith that grandmother Lemare was able to heal you completely, we also know that they were forced to leave fragments of your aircraft in your ribs, dangerously close to your lungs.”

You nod, well aware of this- Nixon had said as much, then reassured you that it wouldn't be a problem during your career, though it 'might cause you issues' later on in life. Not that seems to be unusual at all, so far.

“While your doctors may not think it will be an issue, Sergi, our chief doctor here, has reviewed the available records, and believes it will be. He's offered to Remove the aircraft fragments and give you a comprehensive series of... upgrades.” He says the last word with some hesitation, as if searching for the right phrase.

“New eyes, lung lining, heart augmentation, among other things.” He continues, sliding a folder across the desk at you. “It was designed for the best of our pilots, but he's not going to be...available for them. He answers to the premier directly, now.”

“My love would be completely unstoppable with these augments.” Konstantina says, happily. “and he would have eyes like mine!”

Somewhere in Russia, Comrade Stork, chief of the midwives, matron of the biggest medical facility in Russia, lies in her bed. Her eyebrows have been twitching for the past month.

Surely it could not have been that youg, impressionable witch who visited her when she was a kid. Certainly it was not her referring to the time she had to teach said young witch about how reproduction happened.

The lesson did not go well. She was too unruly, too boisterous, too distracted by all the shiny things to even listen. In the end she had to resort to a children's story to explain the whole damn thing.

Comrade Stork regretted every single moment of that fateful day. She hoped that the young witch did not misunderstand.

Also, getting those augments is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they might implant surveillance devices in us, and the navy might wonder if we're entirely our own man. On the other hand, it should drastically allow us to improve our combat performance, which will be needed with the martians, and it would let NATO at least take a look at this new technology.

I'm worried about what's going to happen when the Martians invade, to be honest. I think we need the augments if we don't want to become the limiting factor in our aircraft's combat performance. We have no idea what the aliens are going to try and hit us with, but it'll probably be a huge improvement on what they used in the last war.

“I'll.... need to think on this.” You say, after reviewing the contents of the folder. “I appreciate the offer, but there's a lot of complications.”

Putin nods. “The offer is, as you say, a standing one. If you ever change your mind, let us know and we will be happy to see you.”

Konstantina, next to you, sighs. “Truly, your own abilities are more than enough, my darling. I only wish you would allow the soviet people to help you. So far, you have only met with that traitor, and surely she is only attempting to seduce you...”

She stops after a sharp look from Petrov. “I am sorry.” She says. “I allowed my emotions to speak for me.”

Petrov chuckles. “I'm sure, comerade witch, that, were she trying to seduce him, he would be faithful to you regardless.” You can't help but notice the grin the bastard puts on when he says it. Your revenge, eventually, will be epic, you think.

She brightens considerably at that, though. “O-of Course! I am sure he is. My love would not be tempted by such trivial things as her anyway.”

“Returning to the point,” Putin says somewhat drily, with Petrov translating around his laughter. “Commander Bishop, what can we do to help you convince your superiors we're on the level, as you say?”

Man this is really conflicting but I'd have to say its a bad idea because we have no idea what is really going to happen. Also if we go back to the US with augments, if we get to go back at all, they will probably keep us locked away as they try to figure out the tech and we won't get to fly anymore or see our witches.

“I'm going to need some of the witches,” You say. “As a gesture of good faith. I'd also like as much data as you can give me.”

Putin nods. “The data will be limited, by necessity. This is to protect us- the premier would move on this base, if he knew it existed. We cannot allow that to happen. As for the witches, I believe I know a few.” He smiles. “They can make trouble back home. I will send a note to have them ready to leave as soon as you are.”

You nod. “I wish I had more time to look around.”

Putin nods. “You are, of course, welcome to stay as long as you wish, but our time may be running out. The Premier has said he wishes to tour Berlin before the month is out, and the guards armies are organizing to make that a reality. We had assumed you would want to carry that information to your superiors as well.”

He hands you another folder. “The guards are all his, almost directly. Most of the regular army is split,
but the majority of the air forces- and, critically, most of the witches- are on our side. His push on Berlin will have sparse air cover.”

Petrov nods. “And, for the most part, the west of the Ural mountains is ours. Megalith is guarded by our troops, right now, though the premier has stated his intention to move several guards regiments there as well.”

1991 here. We had one for most of my childhood, and used disposable cameras like cigarettes until digital got affordable

1989 reporting in.

I still use one to assist in outdoor photography. Lighting checks, reference shots to aid in digital tuning and all that.

Wont a meter be simplier and cheaper in the long run?

>>27650119
Occasionally. But a meter only does just that; a quick polaroid reference gives me a lot of other data too.

Plus until digital light meters got common they were a bitch to calibrate and maintain, as well as expensive, so I never developed a liking for them. I'm used to Polaroids, and until something radically better happens, I see no reason not to keep using one as needed.
