You are Gertrude Pool, Sophomore Class President and new commander of Lafayette Girls Academy’s revived Tankery Team.

You ready yourself for a new day of school. You hope the water main breakage yesterday hasn’t been fixed yet, but you have to be prepared at least in case it is. You sigh, at least you got one good day off.

After a nice shower and some breakfast, you examine your kitchen. The oven’s still a bit singed from the last time that you tried to cook. That wasn’t incredibly smart on your part, but then again Kitten isn’t your friend because you were particularly that smart anyway. You yawn as you check the time, plenty of time to get to school and then some.

You receive an email, but you feel you can check it later perhaps.

“President!” A knock comes at your door. “Ready for school?”

You open up the door. “Morning, girls!” Your staff plus Kitten are assembled outside of your door, looking particularly excited for today. “You all look particularly excited for today.”

Nancy nods. “Of course! Means we can finally turn in our assignments, get our grades, all that stuff!”

You say, “We were only gone for a day, Nancy.”

“A day we could’ve spent learning and working but instead we mostly just sat around with our thumbs up our asses,” says Lisa.

“Oh, come on, Lisa. Wasn’t that bad,” you say, smirking. “After all, we’re getting a clubhouse! With all kinds of facilities and what not.”

Ramirez says, “It’s been a while since we actually used the Sophomore Class Offices.”

Nancy says, “Well, we can at least hope school is open for the day.”

Dear Gertrude Pool,

We here at NOVA Tank Museum would like to congratulate you on your efforts to restart Lafayette Girls Academy’s Tankery Program. Your little sister, Griselda, indeed has convinced it that it would be in our best efforts to send you one of our restoration projects, the 120mm Short Barrel Gun Tank.

She also recommended that we sponsor your team with regular donations, however we’d like to hash out terms first before we can consider it.

On your end, all you have to do is mention NOVA Tank Museum if prompted at the ITL Tank Meet coming up, we assure you that there will be some curious reporters that will want to know where you first learned about tanks.

On our end, if you have done that, we will make regular donations upwards of 5,000 Dollars every Monday. We reserve the right to pull this if the circumstances do not favor it.

Those are the terms, and we feel they are very simple. Feel free to give your sister a call when you can, it was her idea after all. She’s quite enthusiastic about tanks despite being a Middle Schooler.

Until then, good luck!

Secretary of NOVA Tank Museum

“Hey, Griselda, just calling-“

“-because I got you a SPONSORSHIP!? I know, I’m totally awesome, admit it!”

“There are very few things in this world that are absolute, that is not one of them. Still, really, good job on getting NOVA to come around to it, how’d you do it?”

“I put in a LOT of extra hours, honestly I’ve kinda ran myself ragged. But hey, that’s what Tankery is, it’s helping each other!’

“Yeah, it is. How you and Dad doing?”

“It’s all good, hopefully once things start dying down at NOVA I can finally get some rest. Dad’s doing okay too, he hopes your Tankery Program really takes off you know?”

“Of course it will! You know me, Gertrude Pool! Demon of the Playgrounds!”

“You say that as if that’s a good thing.”

“Whatever, anyway. Take care of yourself, Griselda, don’t get yourself too exhausted now. Part of the reason I love you is your unending enthusiasm.”

“Of course, of course! See you, Gertrude.”

With that, you all arrive at the Campus grounds. To your disappointment, it looks like the school has opened up for the day, as you can see students of all creeds and colors walking about to class. You check the time, plenty of time before class.

The benefits of that cookbook better be worth it. I'd rather have those sweet Command Points, but we might as well finish it.

> Go to Library
> Read Book (Anyone Can Cook)

Once again, you say goodbye to your crew in favor of the library and a little book titled, Anyone Can Cook. You’re pretty much done with the issue of fundamental safety concerns, now it’s time for the basic techniques: How to chop ingredients, how to mix properly, what time is a good time for heating, and what temperature things needs to be. You take in the information at good pace.

> Anyone Can Cook: Progress 60%

You stand up and close the book. You figure it’s time to head to class perhaps but before that, you catch Loretta Niven reading.

“Hey, Niven!” you greet. “What’s up?”

She shrugs.

“Cool. I hear you have the same class as my best good friend, Kitten. You two talk much?”

She grunts in response. “A bit.”

You nod. “Cool, cool.”



Hm, this seems familiar.

You check the time, oooh, time to head to Math Class.

You wave goodbye to Niven then quickly exit the Library and head on over to the Math department building and into your designated class math class. You turn in your homework then sit down for some learning. Although you doze off a bit at the end, at least you managed to get some of the lesson into you.

ALARM

“Alright, Miss Pool.” Your English talks of a persuasive argument presentation that needs to be done by Friday of next week. To this end, he’s given several topics out, and you being the person you are, have waited until the topics have somewhat narrowed down. “What is your topic?”

“Future of Military Technology, Professor.”

With that, the Professor writes your name down for that particular topic, then moves onto the next student. You make a note to make sure you remember that that is your topic. The rest of English class goes on relatively uneventfully once the assignments are handed out, and with no other homework but this presentation, it looks like English is going to be relatively easy to deal with this week.

Chemistry as well goes by relatively uneventfully. No greater thing happens except that you get your pop quiz papers back.

“Afternoon, History Club, how’s everyone doing!?”

You came on into the History Club’s room in the Social Sciences Department building. The Club room is a simple empty classroom that has no other uses, and has only a singe large central table in the center a large collection of books on the shelf. The four of them all look at you, skeptical. Apparently you’ve interrupted their lunch and what appears to be a very big study session.

“What do you want?” asks Jane Keegan.

“Oh, well, for English Class I have to make a persuasive argument on the future of Military Technology and I was wondering if you guys had anything that could probably help me with that?”

Jeannette Smith scratches her chin. “Hm. We’re more into studying History, not making assumptions of what’ll happen next, that’s speculative stuff.”

Keegan nods. “Indeed, speaking of which, you finish off your History paper?”

You nod violently. “Of course, what kind of student president would I be if I didn’t?”

“Yeah, figures,” says Keegan. “Let me see…” She walks over to the shelf and looks through the huge selection of textbooks. “Hm, maybe this one?” She holds up a small looking book with the title, “The Soldier of Tomorrow”. She says, “Deals with the role of Infantry and how they’ll be changing in the coming years with the introduction of drones. We can lend it to you for a week or so, until the next Thursday.”

“Sure, that’ll do nicely.” You take up the textbook and nod to Jane. “Thanks, Jane. I’ll bring this back on time and undamaged.”

Jane nods. “You better, else we’ll slaughter you.”

With that, you exit the History Club and decide to head for lunch. You’ve definitely lost a bit of time on that, but hey, at elast you’ve got a new book. You arrive at the cafeteria and get your lunch, a ham sandwich and some fires and find your staff.

Lisa greets you. “Hey, Boss, how are you doing?”

You say, “Just great. Got myself a project to do for Friday but otherwise it’s all great.” You ask, “What about you guys?”

Nancy says, “We got all our work turned in and our Professors are making up for a lost day, so that’s a good win I suppose.”

“So apparently Romeo and Juliet is supposed to some big deconstruction of the typical romance story, the “Love at First Sight,” kind of deal,” says Lisa.

Nancy shakes her head. “That can’t be right, those kinds of stories didn’t particularly exist until at least the 18th Century.”

Lisa says, “Yeah, but when you look at Romeo and Juliet, it does kind of make sense. Guy meets girl, guy falls in love with girl and vice-versa, they get into all kinds of wacky hijinx and stuff. It’s like your typical Rom-Com but at the end lots of people die.”

Ramirez says, “Didn’t Leo DiCaprio play Romeo once?”

Lisa slaps her hand on the table. “Oh my god! That fucking movie! The one where they updated the setting but kept the original Shakespearean English, that was so fucking confusing!”

“Not really,” says Nancy. “It’s still the same story.”

“Yeah, but my disbelief kind of gets broken when everyone is speaking this archaic language when it’s quite clearly the 90s or something. Not to mention that watching it now feels really dated.”

Nancy nods. “I can concur with that, but I think it’s an excellent movie. I think the Director did the Great Gatsby too.”

“Oh god, don’t remind me about the Great Gatsby,” Lisa places her head into her hands. “Spiderman talking to Leo DiCaprio just felt insanely weird, and it was so… cluttered. Shame really, I’d really like a good Great Gatsby movie.”

“There can’t be a good movie of the Great Gatsby, it’s too boring,” says Nancy. She looks over at you. “What do you think, President?”

“I gotta go with Nancy, I suppose. I mean, not a lot of books deserve adaptations.”

Lisa frowns. “Tch, of course. I mean, I can probably understand where you’re coming from, Boss, you’ve probably never read it.”

“I too have read it!”

“What’s the main character’s name?”

“… The Great Gatsby?”

Nancy says, smiling, “Close but no cigar.”

Whoopsie, time for Gym class. You say goodbye to your staff then head on over to the gymnasium and get dressed out into your PE Clothes. Time to figure out what to do for PE today. Because of what you did on Tuesday, the Coaches have decided to let you skip today with a free pass, but then again you’ve never been one to turn down a good game or some exercise.

> Basketball

You dunk another shot into the hoop, scoring another point for your team. You keep your breathing steady as the teams reassemble up. There’s a certain thing to High School sports and that’s the fact that most people aren’t actually all that good at sports, especially girls. Thus when it comes down to it, it really comes down to people who can effectively carry a team.

You are unfortunately the team carry.

That means having to exert yourself quite a bit while your team, though not particularly bad, end up getting rings circled around them on the court. Your skill however is good enough to get you as far as a tie.

You slap hands with Nicole, the opposing team leader. “Good game,” you both say as you hit the showers.

The showers go by relatively uneventfully, mostly because Nicole is talking with a few other Freshmen and Hanna appears to be absent today. Nothing to ospecial and you decide not to dwell on it, mostly because now it’s time for History class.

The Professor hands back your papers with stated criticisms in the margins and in between the lines. You receive yours.

> A+ “Send a copy to me ASAP”

AW YIIIII-

After class, you present your paper to the History Club girls. “HOW ABOUT THAT SHIT!?” you shout.

“So, did I not hear a certain club say they would join the Tankery Program if a certain someone got an A+ on this this History paper?” You put on your best innocent smile, but to them it probably looks incredibly smug.

Keegan and Smith look at each briefly, then look back at you. Keegan says, “Fine, deal’s a deal. We’ll join up with the Tankery Program.”

> CREW UNLOCKED

Keegan says, “Practice is today right?”

You nod. “Yep, can you be there?”

“Sure, we’ll sit out on the sides if you don’t mind though, we’d like to see how the Tankery Program operates first.”

You nod. “Cool beans, you’re joining us at just the right time too, because the Tank Meet’s coming up on the weekend, we get a free trip to Bovington Camp!”

Smith looks excited. “Bovington Camp! That’s where the Tank Museum is, isn’t it? I always wanted to go there!”

You pat her back and say, “And you will. See you all at Practice.”

Theatre Class goes by with relatively little trouble. More lessons on the particulars of Shakespearean theatre and Greek theatre. French class as well goes by relatively fast and soon you find yourself outside the campus along with the rest of the Tankery Program, waiting on the chartered bus to take you to the fields where your tanks are.

You get to reading your book, Anyone Can Cook.

Kitten looks over and says, “Gee, Trudy, you’re reading a lot more than I remember you doing.”

You nod. “Of course, a good Student Council President wouldn’t be good if she didn’t read every once in a while you know?”

> Anyone Can Cook: Progress 80%

With that, the buss arrives, and everyone begins piling in. You sit down next to Kitten and continue reading on the way. However, you see something catch your eye, and you see what Lisa mentioned of a vacant lot yesterday.

It is no longer a vacant lot. Now it’s an almost complete warehouse and auxiliary building in where Lisa did mention there was a vacant lot. You whistle admirably at it, that’s definitely going to make dividends.

With that, you arrive at the fields and dismount. You meet Dubois at her Sheridan, and she greets you amicably. “Evening, students. I see we’ve got some fresh faces today!”

You point back at them and say, “History Club. They’re going to sit out today’s practice.”

Dubois nods. “Good, because we’re gonna have ourselves a good old fashioned 4v4 Flag Battle!”

… Huh. Probably would’ve been good to mention that earlier.

The crews all mutter and talk amongst themselves. Dubois hops down from her Sheridan and says, “Go ahead and pick your team, Gertrude.”

“Right, girls, I’ll let you pick your teams. I’ll take the leftovers I assume.”

The crews all look at each other, apparently indecisive. However, Luciano of the Delinquents says, “We’ll take the Sewing Club, Rifles, and the Aviators.”

Anna looks over at Luciano and says, “Do we get a say in it?”

Luciano looks down at her. “Do you really want a say in it?”

“Whatever,” says Marina. “Let’s just get this done.”

You roll your eyes. “Alright, I suppose the Poles, the Freshmen, and Naval Studies Merchant is with us then. We can agree on that?” Everyone nods and says the usual affirmatives. “Alright then. We’ve got a 4v4.”

Dubois nods as she starts handing out maps. “Go ahead and head to your starting positions, signal me when you’re ready to go.”

Us and the Senti will try to find the flag tank.

“Alright, everyone, no need to be too hasty here,” You say over the radio. “Let’s just keep our heads and play this safe. Janek, I want your tank close to the Freshmen, Freshmen, worst case scenario you’re going to be a shield. Dales, you’re with us, we’re going to move in slow and steady. Got it?”

“Yes!” says everyone.

The tanks line up at the starting position, and you wait on the flare from Dubois. Lisa pops up from the Driver’s hatch and says, “This’ll definitely be something, fighting that Panther.”

You shrug. “Hey, if it comes to it, we have the advantage here. They don’t.”

Kitten pops up from the co-driver hatch. “Think we can win this?”

“Well,” you say, “It doesn’t matter if we win or lose here. It’s the learning experience that matters.”

With that, the flare shoots up into the sky and explodes into a brilliant flash of white.

“Begin!” shouts Dubois.

Your tanks begin crawling forward at column formation, you at the lead, Churchill behind, Stuart third, then Sentinel.

You lean back in the Commander’s seat, deciding to keep to the periscope. In exchange, Cathy is turned out in the Churchill, keeping watch around the surrounding area, what little surrounding are that can be seen of course.

The Stuart accidently crashes into the Churchill’s rear. “Hey, watch it!” shouts Cathy.

“My bad,” says George. The Sentinel then rams into the Stuart’s rear. “Hey, watch where you’re going!”

Dales says, “Sorry, can’t see shit!”

You sigh. At least they aren’t arguing.

“Hold up,” says Cathy. “I think I can see one of them. Looks like the KV-1S. Off to our right.”

We've got about 30 days before the expected next match.

Practice twice a week gives us about 10 CP from there, in addition to reading, and anything else we might discover.

You unbutton and take out your binocs then see what Cathy’s on about. Sure enough, you can see the KV-1S, apparently sitting there, its right flank exposed to you. You purse your lips, that’s qite the catch. A lone KV-1S with its thinner armor. “Alright, Nancy, traverse the turret right, see if you can get the KV-1S into our sights.”

“Righto,” says Nancy. The turret quickly turns right to the direction of the KV-1S, then points downward.

The KV-1S then immediately backs up and starts turning its turret at you, apparently having spotted you.

“Nancy, take the shot, go go go,” you say. The 76mm fires, booming, and the shot immediately scratches the turret side armor. “Everyone else, fire!” All of the turrets of your team traverse to meet the KV-1S and begin firing. The shots either miss or glance off an angled part of the armor.

You bite your lip. Come on.

“Keep firing!” All of your guns fire at the KV-1S. “Everyone, reposition! Move forward and follow me!” The Sherman immediately powers forward. The KV-1S moves backward, then fires a shot at you, a shot which immediately bounces off your turret side. “WHOA THAT WAS CLOSE GOING BACK INSIDE!” You button up.

Unfortunately, the KV-1S manages to slink back into the vegetation where they manage to break visual contact. You bite your lip as you peer through the cupola hatch.

You unbutton again, then look around. The KV-1S has escaped. “Alright, stop here.” The column stops. “Cathy, do you see anything?”

“Nah, anybody else?” Everyone else murmurs no’s and nahs. You slap the turret top, frustrated. By all rights, that KV-1S is a very lucky tank.

Of course, why would it just be alone? Where the hell is the rest of their team- What the hell is that sound?

There’s a sudden crash of vegetation behind you, and you quickly turn around to see what it is.

It’s the Panther, followed by the SOMUA S35. Luciano and Lansky are turned out of the hatch, maps in hand. They both look at you, and you stare back at them. They must have gotten lost. Cathy, along with the rest of your crews look on, apparently dumbstruck.



Lansky says, “This is awkward.”

“NANCY! BRING THE TURRET AROUND!” The turret begins traversing right, while the Panther and the S35 begin backing the fuck up. Your crews start panicking and start backing away, bumping into each other on the way, barely managing to get a shot out which miss at this extremely close distance. Thanks to the Sherman’s famous power traverse, the turret is lined up before they can escape. “HIT THEM HIT THEM!”

The 76mm immediately fires, slamming into the frontal armor. Normally this wouldn’t fly, but you are at relative point blank distance. The 76mm manages to penetrate the Panther’s frontal armor by that, not only penetrating but also managing to start an engine fire.

“Let’s get after them!”

Your tanks immediately break formation and start after the S35. The Churchill ends up in first place, smashing fallen logs and in general just in general not giving a fuck about this rough terrain. Meanwhile, even with your easy suspension, you’re still getting bounced around a bit. Hopefully no logs get stuck in your tracks.

Cathy shouts over the radio, “We got the S35 in our sights, we’re taking the shot!” The Churchill fires and the shot immediately swipes a tree and ricochets away to no effect. “Fuck, we missed! Tara, load load load!”

The S35 immediately hangs right around a very large tree, prompting all of your tanks to begin sweep to the right.

“Where’s she going?” you ask yourself. Suddenly, there’s a very big boom.

> KO: SENTINEL AC I (COMP. SPEC.)

“WE’RE DONE FOR!” shouts Dales.

You unbutton and look around, the Short Barrel 120mm has managed to hide itself in the vegetation.

“Where are they!?” shouts Cathy.

“I can’t see them!” screams Janek.

You think. The Gun Tank fired and hit the Sentinel at the far rear. So that must means they’re at your rear somewhere. You turn around in your hatch and start scanning the woodlands.

You say, “Does anyone have eyes on the Chi-Ha!? I can’t see them!”

Cathy shouts, “I can’t see them!” You desperately scan the woodlands for anything that looks like smoke or a gun barrel. Then, you see some wisps of smoke to your immediate 7 O’Clock. That must be them. To further prove your point, a huge flash of light bursts out and immediately, the Stuart is thrown aside, losing a track and taking a huge hit of debris to the gun mantlet and the turret ring.

> MOBILITY KILL: M5A1 STUART (COMP. SPEC.)
> WEAPONRY KILL: M5A1 STUART (COMP. SPEC.)

Janek shouts, “We’re immobilized! Our gun’s not working either!”

The Sherman moves up and to the left a little, as does the Churchill. Both of your turrets move to track the Chi-Ha, which now decides is a good time to retreat.

“And fire-“ You get thrown out of your seat and almost end up on Nancy.

“Cathy, shield the Stuart! Hurry up!”

The Churchill lumbers away from you and interposes itself between the KV-1S and the Stuart. The KV-1S fires again, the shot glancing off the Churchill’s turret side.

“Janek,” you say, “Can you get the tracks fixed?”

Janek shouts, “If you cover us, maybe!”

“Yeah, do it!”

Janek and Gussie pop the hatches and immediately start unbuckling their spare track links and toolboxes and start on repairs.

“Nancy, try and hit the KV-1S!”

The Churchill and the Sherman fire desperate at the KV-1S, but every time, the KV-1S manages to deftly dodge it. You bite your lip. On the hand, they’re learning, but on the hand, they’re on the other team. Gotta at least give them credit.

The Churchill however manages to score a lucky shot on the frontal glacis, scoring a penetrating shot.

> KO: KV-1S (COMP. SPEC.)
> KILL CREDITED TO: TEAM NOT-A-CHANCE-IN-HELL

“We got them! We got-“ The Churchill is immediately slammed by a 120mm round in the side. “HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT!?”

The Chi-Ha has apparently doubled back, now on your immediate 9 O’Clock. The SOMUA S35 has also come back to join on the fight. They look about ready to shoot the Stuart.

“Nancy, turret around! Go for the flag tank, now now now!” The S35 is still aiming at the Stuart, apparently waiting on Janek and Gussie. As soon as Janek and Gussie see the tanks about to shoot, they immediately hop back into the Stuart, keen on prioritizing safety over repairs. NO ACCIDENTS TODAY.

With that, the Chi-Ha fires first, splashing the Churchill again as it tries to back up. This time, the side turret armor appears to have buckled visibly under the weight of those shells at this point blank range.

“I have the S35 in my sights!”

“Fire!”

Both your Sherman and S35 fire at the same time.

… “Who won?” you ask.

You unbutton and see the damage wrought. The flags have appeared on the Stuart and the S35. Anna waves at you from her rear turret hatch, pointing out her white flag. You wave back, then think on it.

“Whoowheee,” says Captain Dubois over the radio. “Looks like we have a draw!”

> DRAW

With that, the ARVs are dispatched and everyone gathers around Captain Dubois, looking very exhausted and disheveled, but apparently not dispirited in the slightest. They even look a bit happier.

> + 5 MORALE ACROSS ALL CREWS

Captain Dubois nods. “Right everyone, good job. Haven’t seen a draw like that in ages.” She looks over at you. “Anything you want to say, Gertrude?”

You walk over and stand in front of your crews, putting your hands on your hips. “Alright, everyone,” you say. “Good job. I gotta say you all put in some really hard work. Coming up on Friday, we’ll have ourselves a new warehouse and a clubhouse to boot.”

Dales raises her hand. “The Tank Meet’s coming up isn’t it?” All the crews nod, murmuring agreements of wonder and excitement. “Think we’ll be ready?”

Ethos is duty, logos is reason, and pathos is emotion.

I'd go for the Delinquents and Naval Merchants after the Poles though. They might need the extra reassurance since they're recent additions.

“Oh believe me, we’ll be so ready for them. We’ll show them what Lafayette Girls Academy is made of! We’ve come really far and I don’t believe we’ll be giving up now! We shove off tomorrow, so make sure you look your best when we head into Bovington, alright girls?”

Everyone nods. “Alright!”

> + 1 CP

With that, you all stand by the bus stop, waiting for the Bus to arrive. Cathy talks to you for a bit. “That was really something, Gertrude.”

You nod. “Yep, nice show with the Churchill, you’re getting real good at it.”

“Well, we’ve been studying,” Cathy blushes a little. “It’s not just me you know.”

You nod. “Of course, Tankery’s a team effort, don’t you forget that.”

“Janek, you did great work out there, sorry about getting knocked out.”

Janek waves you off, smiling. “Oh, relax, it’s nothing too big! I mean, that adrenaline rush when the S35 and the Chi-Ha came out of the woods and started aiming at us, now that was something!”

Anna shouts, “If you weren’t out there, we could’ve had you!”

“Yeah, whatever,” says Janek. “Anyway, we oughta learn how to fix tracks faster and better soon otherwise we might get caught with our pants down like that again.”

“Of course,” you say. You blink and look over at Luciano. “Hey, Luciano, gotta say that was real awkward running into you like that.”

Luciano shrugs. “Yeah, well. Whatever. We lost, didn’t we?”

“Hey, it’s a learning experience,” you say. “Besides, your team handled itself pretty well without you, and you definitely showed initiative even deciding to put together a team in the first place.”

Lansky says, “Well, I suppose Tankery’s just growing on us.”

Luciano nods. “Yeah, next time we do this. Your ass is ours.”

You raise your hands in mock fright. “Oh, I’m so scared.”

The bus arrives, and with that, everyone hops aboard. You sit down next to Kitten and say, “Hey there, Kitten. Anything exciting happen with you today?”

Kitten shakes her head. “Nah, you?”

“Oh, I’m just dandier than Santa Claus on a Christmas Eve morning,” you say. “You think Tankery Practice was fun today?”

Kitten shrugs. “Well, we did come at a tie. You know what they say, a tie’s worse than losing.”

“Only scrubs who can’t win say a tie is worse than losing,” you say. “Besides, at least no one’s complaining about who won or who lost. It’s all about how much they improved. And I think we’ve all improved twofold since we first started Tankery. I think we’re just about ready to take on the world.”

“Good luck with that,” says Kitten. You look down at her, then she says, “No seriously, good luck with that.”

“Of course,” you say. You smile, rustling up Kitten’s hair. “Anyway, hope you at least had fun today. Or at least made a friend or two.”

“Implying I can make friends that easily.”

With that, the bus stops at the Sophomore Dorm, and all the Sophomores aboard exit. You look over at Nancy. “Hey, Nancy, good work on the turret.”

Nancy blushes, slapping her cheeks. “Ohoho! Don’t make me blush, President! I’m just doing my job as all!”

Lisa pouts mockingly. “What about me, Boss? Didn’t I do a good job?”

You tug on Lisa’s cheek. “Yes you did you wittle wascal you.” She slaps your hand away, laughing a little.

> Head to a Staffmember’s Dorm (Lisa)

“Jesus, Lisa.” Unlike Kitten’s room, Lisa’s room was a total mess. Thrown about clothes, underwear, and paper were lying about the floor. The bed looked very lived in and messy. Even the desk was covered in crumpled papers and pens. “Don’t you take care of your room?” you ask.

“Hey,” says Lisa, “I got priorities. Cleaning unfortunately isn’t one of them.”

Kitten shudders. “Good Christ.”

Lisa shrugs and then hops onto her bed, “Hey, it could be worse. I could have bedbugs.” She points to the bathroom. “Go ahead and shower, bathroom’s pretty clean and I do mean it.”

You shrug and then sit down on the foot of the bed. Nancy takes a seat at the desk then turns on the TV.

Kitten looks over at you as she starts unbuttoning her shirt. “Hey, Trudy. Want to shower with me?”

You let the water hit you and Kitten, and surprise surprise it’s cold as shit.

“This is cold as shit!” says Kitten as she crosses her arms, shivering. You simply stand there however, unfazed.

“Relax, Kitten,” you say as you start rinsing her hair. “It’s not gonna stay like this for long, persevere.”

With that, you start running some of Lisa’s shampoo through Kitten’s hair as she washes. Kitten says, “Must you give me shampoo?”

“Oh come on, your hair will be lovely,” you say.

“Whatever,” she says. “Just hurry up will you? I’m sure your staff is already thinking of all kinds of things with us in the shower together.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Oh, why did you invite me in anyway?”

“Because I wanted to.”

“D’aaaaaawww…”

“Fuck you.”

With that done, you finish up the shower and step out clad in button down shirts and skirts. Nancy has begun cooking something up for dinner, while Lisa and Ramirez appear to have defaulted to studying. You decide to break out a book, Anyone Can Cook. As Kitten watches what’s on TV at current, you read through fundamental techniques to cooking.

> Read a Book (Anyone Can Cook)

You finally decide on finish off the book. You take into note all the recipes like fried chicken, curry, all basic recipes that even children could figure out how to do. You shut the book up and raise it up to the air.

“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!”

Kitten says, “No you don’t.”

> Anyone Can Cook: Progress 100% (COMPLETED)

> + 10 CP

You sigh, putting the book down and looking over at the TV. “Anything good on?”

“Nah, I suppose we could watch Spongebob.”

“OH MY FUCKING GOD,” you say. “I haven’t watched Spongebob in ages, is it still as funny as I remember it being?”

Kitten says, “It’s mostly gross out humor these days, it’s total bullshit. I miss the old episodes. It’s like the Simpsons, the older episodes are waaaay better than the new ones.”

You shrug. “Well, I suppose I can agree with that.”

“Hey, Jane, what’s up?”

“Not much, just getting our next assignments for History done along with some more work. What’s up with you?”

“Not much, just wanted to know if you guys wanted a pick of a tank out of the ones we have available. It’s just the Panzer IV and the StuG III but I’m sure you can make a choice right now.”

“Sure, we can take the StuG if you don’t mind?”

“Not at all, she’s all yours.”

> TEAM CLIO ASSIGNED TO STUG III AUSF. E (COMP. SPEC.)

You say, “Anyway, hope you guys are ready to go on a trip tomorrow. That shit’s gonna be awesome!”

“Yeah, we’ll be ready. Anyway, I gotta get to work. See you.”

“See you.”

Nancy comes over with some chicken rice curry ready. SWEEEEEET. “Enjoy!” she says. You start digging in, eager for some sustenance.

“So, Nancy, did your Grandma teach you how to cook like this?”

Nancy nods. “Yep! Recipes and all the cooking techniques. She’s like a muse when it comes to cooking things. I simply picked up a lot of things from her when we visited.”

You nod. “Think you can teach me how to cook like this?”

She flushes. “Oh heavens- I mean uh- I’d be happy to when I get the time, President!”

You roll your eyes and look over at Lisa. “Say, Lisa. Mind calling Mr. Mishka later, tell him to apply some appliqué armor to the StuG when he can?”

Lisa nods, barely looking up from her math homework. “Will do.”

You sit down next to Kitten as she watches TV. You yawn, stretching your arms out, then wrap an arm around her.

“Smooth,” says Kitten.

You lean your head on Kitten’s shoulder. “You’re implying you don’t like it.”

Lisa says, “You know, the Tank Meet is a very prestigious thing. You’re going to be representing Lafayette Girls Academy, and to some extent the entirety of most state below the Mason-Dixon Line. Think you can handle that?”

“Of course I can handle it! I’m practically the goddamn paterfamilias here with the Sophomores not to mention my oh-so intense charisma that men just fall at my feet!”

Kitten rolls her eyes. “Well, if she says so.”

Lisa shrugs. “Eh, I believe you then, Boss.” She goes back to her homework.

You look over at Kitten. “You believe me, right, Kitten?”

Kitten nods. “I believe that maybe you’ll make a fool out of yourself, like exposing your panties on International Television or accidentally making a racist remark.” She tugs on your cheek, “Or maybe you’ll just be so cute that men will have heart attacks all over the world.”

You slap her hand away. “Oh stop it you. You’re saying that you’re not so cute that people get diabetes just be looking at you.”

She scoffs. “I’m not cute! I’m a full grown woman! I have BREASTS!”

Nancy looks down at Kitten and says, “I think you’re cute!”

Kitten says, “WHATSA- Nancy! I-“

Lisa looks over, “I think you’re adorable too sometimes, Kitten.”

“HOLD THE FUCK- I-“

Ramirez says, “You’re cute.”

might want to update the tank roster

still says gertrudes tank is the M4A1(76)W when the suspension changed it into a M4A1E8

and also the panther is still listed as an Ausf. D in the same pastebin

also seems like the rifle club girls are liking the chi-ha, we might have to find another crew for the T34/76
>>
>>29032661
also, the shop pastebin still has the pershing and its conversions listed in it

question Schteel, would buying the 7.5 L/43 and improved suspension and putting them on the StuG upgrade it into an Aus. F?
>>
>>29032714
He won't tell us even if we asked, we need to fugure it out ourselves
>>
>>29033066
well thats what the Aus/ F stugs were, the L/43, improves drive train, and some minor changes to the armor layout, mainly, removing a weakspot here or there
>>
>>29033098
Well if anything will most likely make it cheaper.
