“Gertrude Pool speaking.”

“Hello, Trudy! It’s your favorite Naval Studies Medical student calling!”

“Oh, Franny. What’s up?”

“Just calling to remind you that your dentist appointment is today!”

“… I have a dentist appointment?”

“Yep! You and Kitten I’ve got scheduled today for the morning. You’re probably gonna miss out on a class or two but I’ve already got things scheduled out and it should be right and proper with your teachers. Don’t tell me you forgot!”

“… I forgot. Sorry, I just had a lot of shit to deal with, it must have crossed my mind, Franny.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, just drop by the Medical Building on campus and we’ll see to you, right?”

“Of course, of course. I’ll see you there, Franny.”

You hang up. Sweet Jesus, the DENTIST. How did you forget that? At least you manage to keep your teeth clean but you’re not sure about how Kitten’s gonna take it. Whatever, time to get it done anyway.

You open the door and immediately see your staff plus Kitten. “Oh, President, I was just about to knock,” says Nancy. “I’m glad you’re up and ready for school!”

You say, “Well, I’m actually not heading to school for now, and neither is Kitten.”

Kitten looks confused. “Why? I got classes too.”

“We have to go to the Dentist.”

…

Kitten turns around and NOPES the fuck out of there. “Kitten!” you shout, freezing her in place. “Come back.”

“Oh come on!” she whines. “I hate the Dentist! All that scraping and jaw opening and… stuff! I HATE IT!”

“Too bad, we’re going,” you say firmly. “You’ve been brushing your teeth, haven’t you?”

She pouts, crossing her arms and glaring at you. “Have you?”

“Now, Kitten. A good class president always makes sure her appearance is in order.” You grin, bearing your good white teeth. “Like so!”

“Yeah, real shiny Dr. Scrivello,” says Kitten.

“Now, I did ask you a question, do you brush your teeth regularly?”

Kitten looks away from you. “… yes.”

“Don’t lie to me,” you say, pointing at her. “I’ve been close enough to your face to detect your breath, Kitten.”

“Fine, I only brush once a day!” she says. “But still, do we really have to go to the Dentist?”

You say, “Yes, Kitten. I don’t want a nice little kittycat who has gingivitis and is missing most of her teeth which are buried under a root canal.”

Nancy nods. “Teeth healthiness is always important!” She grins, also bearing her extremely clean white teeth. She definitely brushes twice a day, and flosses too.

Lisa nods as well. “It’s one of the few things I keep clean in my apartment.” She smiles, showing off her white teeth as well.

You all look over at Ramirez, expectantly. She says, “What, I have no reason to smile.”

You roll your eyes. “Anyway, girls, why don’t you head up without us, we’ll meet you at lunch.”

Nancy nods. “Sure thing.”

Your staff leaves you, thus leaving you and Kitten alone outside your dorm room. “Now, Kitten,” you say, getting up in her face. “Did you brush your teeth this morning?”

Kitten starts sweating, blushing a little. “Uh… Yes?”

Nuh-uh Kitten, no filthy teeth at the dentist

>>29112578
>“Okay, let’s go anyway, you fucking lying piece of shit.”

I don't know why this made me laugh

> “Liar”

You cross your arms, closing your eyes, and bearing an expression that reads somewhat like a very snotty noblewoman. “You sit on a throne of lies, Your Majesty, Queen of the United Kingdom of Lies, Lies, and Northern Liarland.”

“Gee,” Kitten says, “am I that obvious?”

“You’d be terrible at poker. Anyway, let’s get your teeth brushed right quick.” You all walk down to Kitten’s dorm. You quickly say, “With toothpaste!”

You spend the next 10 or so minutes at Kitten’s dorm, overseeing her as she rather lazily brushes her teeth with her neglected toothbrush and toothpaste.

She spits, blood splattering all over the sink. “This sucks.”

“It only sucks because you don’t brush,” you say. “Now, again.”

She rolls her eyes, then gets back to brushing.

Once she’s done to a satisfactorily level, you declare her to be good then march off for the Campus. Kitten stuffs her hands in her pockets, and you can tell by the look on her face that she’s idly licking her teeth.

You say, “You remember Franny, don’t you?”

“Oh god, don’t tell me she’s going to be our dentist today.”

You frown. “What’s wrong with Franny?”

Kitten says, “What isn’t wrong with her? I mean, bless her heart, she’s nice. She’s like Nancy but… there’s something off with her. I mean, don’t you remember the last time she checked up on your teeth?”

“Now, Kitten, there’s nothing wrong with Franny.”

Kitten looks at you skeptically. “Oh?”

“… okay, I’ll admit, it was kind of strange for her to get really giddy when she accidentally stabbed herself with that weird sickle looking tool of hers. But that doesn’t mean anything.” For the love of god, you hope that doesn’t mean anything.

“Well, hopefully she’s not some kind of sadist, now that’d really be something,” says Kitten. “I bet all dentists are sadists on the inside.”

“Now, Kitten, that’s a terrible assumption. I’m sure only 1 in 100 are.”

With that, you arrive at the Medical Building on the school’s campus. This is the only building on campus where you’re going to regularly find Naval Studies students, mostly because they are the ones studying medicine and other medical arts like Dentistry, Surgery, Anatomy, Psychiatry, etc.

You greet the receptionists, and she tells you of your appointment with Francine Pierce, otherwise known to her friends as Franny. You thank the receptionist and head upstairs to the Junior level where Juniors start practicing on their own without advising. You then arrive at the Dentistry area then sit down at the waiting room, finding a few other students apparently in for an appointment.

“Nervous?”

Kitten’s tapping her foot, folded her arms up, and is clearly leaning back into her chair. “A bit,” she says.

You say, “Don’t be, Franny’s nice! It’s not like she’s going to rip any of your teeth out like some Nazi.”

You pull out the book that the History Club loaned you and start reading the book. An interesting book on the ways of science fiction and military technology, but it also covers some interesting points with the development of Infantry doctrine. How the early Infantry were mostly draftees from a village, up until the professional soldiers of the later eras. It’s definitely an interesting read.

> The Soldier of Tomorrow: Progress: 10%

You lean back in your chair, sighing and looking around. Kitten seems restless but at least she’s not fallen asleep. Then, the door to the back opens. Franny, Naval Studies Medical student, steps out and greets you both warmly. “Trudy! Kitten, it’s good to see you both again! I trust you’ve kept good care of your teeth while I was gone?”

You nod. “Of course, Franny, wouldn’t dream of getting a root canal and having to get my gums split open.” Kitten flushes a little.

Franny nods. “Oh, I must tell you, it’s been dreadful dealing with some of the Freshmen. Just dreadful. Most of them don’t floss at all, some of them haven’t brushed their teeth in months,” She chuckles a little at that. “But anyway, you two are here now. Which shall I go with first?”

“Kitten, you first.”

Kitten looks over at you, incredulous. “Fucking- you what? But-” She tries to stammer out an excuse before Franny stands her up.

“Now, now, Kitten, there’s nothing to fear from the Dentist,” says Franny, grinning. “Well, except for your dental health but that’s what I’m here for!” She gently pushes Kitten into the back.

Kitten stops right at the door, facing inwards. “Wait, I just want to say that I do brush my teeth and-“ She’s interrupted by Franny slapping her on the ass, causing her to yelp and go further inside.

Franny looks back at you. “Don’t worry, she’s in safe hands.” She winks at you. “Promise!” She then heads inside, presumably to rip every teeth out of Kitten’s jaw. You roll your eyes at that.

“… and Napoleon would form his infantry into a large rectangular column known to them as the “colonne d’attaque” or literally translated the Attack Column. These columns of infantry were made to formulate breakthroughs with sheer weight of numbers. However, as the Napoleonic Wars continued on, the Attack Column would later be rendered obsolete by tactical guile from Napoleon’s well known opponent Arthur Wellesley, better known as the Duke of Wellington.

“… in order to counter cavalry, Infantry would form a Square formation, often hollow on the inside but could be filled with men in order to better take on a charge of cavalry. This square formation was intended to make sure cavalry would not try to simply go around the side of the regiment and flank, and was virtually on all sides invulnerable, especially in groups. The square formation was what saved Wellington’s infantry at Waterloo against Ney’s cavalry charge.”

You feel you’re almost done with the historical context portion of the book, but the more you skim through, the more historical context there is. For a book based on speculation, this book sure did like its history.

“Griselda, what’s up?”

“School got cancelled due to snowfall, the strangest thing.”

“Yeah, I know! It’s not sticking or anything, and the weather’s only predicting half an inch at most.”

“Well, shit. You’re home at least?”

“Yep! Getting to goof off, play World of Tanks, watch some highlights from the Japanese Nationals, all good stuff! What about you?”

“Dentist appointment.”

“Ah, that’s really shitty.”

“Gee, thanks.”

“But anyway, just calling to check in on my best big sister, letting you know your family’s still kicking about. You know, they’re going to livestream the Tank Meet tomorrow, that’s where the brackets are going to be organized and such. I can’t wait to see which team you get.

“Wow, thanks for your confidence in me, Griselda.”

“Oh relax, maybe you’ll get a newbie team too. I hear a good amount of schools have restarted their Tankery programs since Ooarai won. It’s a real game changer you know?”

“Well, Griselda, I suppose they’re all just following the leader. I mean, Tankery hasn’t been so popular lately. I’m actually kinda surprised you aren’t into Helicraft, that’s where all the money is now.”

“Of course I will! I’ll show those darn foreigners how an American operates a tank! Especially one like me!”

“That doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.”

“Yeah, yeah. Anyway, keep your grades up. Call me later?”

“Of course, sis. Talk to you later.”

You hang up and sigh. Griselda, always popping in at good times. With that, you pocket your cellphone just as Franny and Kitten walk out. Kitten holds her cheek, grimacing as she sits down next to you. You ask Franny, “How was it?”

She says, “Clouds of tar and plaque as I was cleaning it up, it was astounding!” She rustles Kitten’s hair. “Kitten, you gotta learn to floss, and perhaps brush your teeth better.”

Kitten nods. “Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”

Franny looks over at you, smiling. “Your turn!”

Joy.

You stand up and head in with Franny. You end up in her nice little office where all the dentistry tools are and then sit down in the Dentist chair. Franny wraps a paper towel around your chest then puts the light into position. “So, Trudy, I trust you have been brushing your teeth lately?”

You nod. “Of course!”

“Good, good,” says Franny as she lowers the seat down. She snaps her fingers. “Open wide!” You open your jaws wide as you can and allow Franny to start poking around with her rubber gloved fingers. She brings up a mouth mirror and sticks it inside for better observation. “Hmmm…”

You say, “Agafink wonga?”

“Not at first notice, but let me just poke around, shan’t take long.” She picks up an examiner tool, the sickle looking thing, then starts poking around your gums. You occasionally cringe at slight stings of pain. “You know, I get people complaining that I tell them their gums are bleeding when I poke them with this thing, it’s hilarious!”

“Ah gek eh ish,” you say.

“Oh, it is, definitely. So, how are you doing? How’s Kitten been treating you?”

Franny says, “Oh I’m doing lovely! You know, the advisors have praised me for my work in Dentistry so far. They say I can get into a Medical School of my choice of my choice if I keep this up!”

“Oh atsh kreag!”

Franny nods, smiling as she pokes into your molars. “I know right!” She turns her smile into a quizzical expression. “So, you and Kitten dating yet?” You gag a little. You’re about to say something but Franny stops you. “Ah, ah, ah. Open wide.” You return your jaws to the ready position.

You say, “We’re hot hatingk!”

Franny frowns. “Oh, you aren’t? That’s a shame. I think you two would make a lovely couple. Heck, I won’t hold it against you if you’re gay. That’s progression you know?”

“Ah nok kay!”

“You’re not gay? Oh, that’s a shame.” You raise an eyebrow at that, and she notices this. “Oh, what I mean to say is- uh… that’s a shame.”

“… really?”

“Well, you probably wouldn’t be interested in what I have to say on the matter. I mean, I don’t mind if you’re not gay, it’s just... maybe you’re bisexual?”

“Ah mug as ah kan.”

“Well, you need to fix that up. Let me get that for you.” She takes the mirror and the poker out of your mouth, letting you cough and let your mouth rest for a second. Then she pulls out some floss, wrapping the string around her thumbs. “Open wide!” She starts flossing into your molars, occasionally bumping her arms into your chest.

In the midst of flossing your molars, she says, “Actually, it is kind of weird that you’re entering the World Tournament so soon. Why are you?”

Basically, we don't tell her outright. Instead we tell her something like, 'You should check out the recent government report on Academy ships' or 'I've heard so and so club is getting axed. I wonder why?'

Something that sets her on the right path to begin investigating but that isn't directly informing her.

>>29114457

>>29114609
To expand on what I said, paper trail typically refers to the Red Tape of government. Given that every expense is paid for from somewhere, you can follow all the receipts, papers filed and movements of individuals or groups to find out what is going on if you have enough dedication to it.

With regards to the Academy ship, shutting down an entire ship is not easy feat. The only reason the students don't know is because they don't care to find out. Actually finding out that information should be trivially easy. There would be a place for the ship to dock for either storage or to be broken apart, various forms to be filled out, government processes, what have you.

“Oh, ig shkool bihnigk.”

Franny blinks. “Is it?” You nod. “Ah, I won’t pry then. I don’t consider myself much of a detective anyway, but I assume it’s ‘highly-classified’ and not worthy of my Naval Studies ears.” She pulls the floss out from between your teeth, then starts giving everything a once over. “Hm… Looks like you’re done. I’d suggest you floss a bit harder in your molars so the plaque doesn’t build up.” You sit up, caressing your jaw and licking at your teeth a bit. “However, everything else you’re doing is perfectly fine.”

You say, “Thanks, Franny. Feels nice being able to talk normally. How are you able to understand me like that?”

She shrugs. “Context and guesswork mostly. If I didn’t catch it, I’ll just ask you to repeat it.” She hands you a cup of water, which you drink up, swish around, then spit out into the sink.

“Right, so my teeth are good then?”

“Clean as a whistle!” She says, “Though, I’d talk to Kitten about brushing her teeth better. Brushing every morning isn’t enough.”

You nod. “Of course, of course.” You check the time. Time for Chemistry class. Might want to walk slowly then so you get to lunch. “Anyway, thanks Franny.”

Franny nods. “Of course, feel free to make an appointment anytime!”

You walk out, feeling positively relieved that Franny has not pulled out any of your teeth. You look over at Kitten, who appears to be fast asleep in one of the chairs. You gently tap her on the forehead, waking her. “Time for class, let’s go.”

“… but I missed class today.”

You and Kitten grab some sandwiches. The both of you immediately realize that you seem to be in the tail end of the Freshmen lunch period. You gotta say, it’s crowded as fuck. You and Kitten barely managed to find a seat at a table filled with chattering Freshmen, most of whom don’t appear to recognize you as an upperclassman.

Kitten sits next to you, saying, “Why are we having lunch with the Freshmen?”

You say, “Because I don’t particularly want to go to Chemistry right now and I feel like I can get a second lunch once this one ends.” You bite into your sandwich. “Go on and eat up, Kitten.”

She rolls her eyes and starts eating.

> Converse with Kitten

“So, Kitten. How’d your turn with Franny go?”

Kitten says, “Apparently there was a huge build up of plaque, tar, and other things in my teeth that my toothbrush didn’t get. She had to use that weird drill scraper thing to get it all out, along with that vacuum tube thing. A lot of blood and muck-“

“I’m eating here.”

“Anyway, she told me to just brush my teeth twice a day and start flossing. She didn’t give me that guilt trip most Dentists do, you know?”

You nod. “Ah, I can relate to that. But you should brush your teeth. Even I brushed twice a day in elementary school and I was regularly kicking the shit out of guys twice my size.”

“What does that have to do with dental health?”

“Nothing,” you say.

…

Kitten sighs. “Well, that’s enlightening!”

You’re about to say more when you’re tapped on the shoulder. You turn around to see who else but your Freshmen team.

Cathy greets you first. “Hey, Gertrude! Mind if we sit here?”

“Nah, go ahead,” The freshmen all sit down around you, instrument cases strung over their shoulders.

“So, what are you girls up to?”

Tara says, “We’ve been practicing with the Folk Music Club. Nicole’s a real life saver on pointing out some flaws in our techniques.”

Cathy smirks. “She still thinks Melodic is better than Scruggs style, Tara.”

“Well,” Tara puffs her cheeks. “She don’t know shit about the Banjo! I can play Foggy Mountain Breakdown so well that people start paddling canoes in the opposite direction!”

You quirk your brow. “Banjo?”

Tara nods. “Yeah, Banjo. You know, it gets a bad rap for being a hillbilly instrument but I love the darn thing to death, it can be accompanist, lead, all that stuff! It’s as versatile as a guitar or a violin or a piano!”

Cathy nods. “Yep, you want to hear Tara play the Banjo? Demonstrate her Scruggs’ style macho?”

Cathy strums her guitar, and Tara plucks a string on her Banjo in response.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jBF1dcTlcM

Cathy says to you, “Now, this is a little piece called Dueling Banjos. Despite the name, most people usually do it with a guitar and a Banjo, adds some flavor to it.” Cathy strums her guitar again, to which Tara strums a chord in return.

Ashleigh says, “Dueling Banjos is kind of like a game. One person plays a tune, the other responds, and it gets progressively faster and faster until one person can’t keep up.”

Cathy slowly plays the tune of Yankee Doodle, to which Tara finishes it. Right about now, the music playing has caught the attention of other freshmen, who look on with anticipation.

The two begin playing notes at a faster pace, then faster and faster, until they start playing together and off one other. You and Kitten are amazed at Tara’s speed, how she deftly moves her fingers from string to string, and her strumming hand plucks the strings individually like that. People begin clapping and stomping their feet in tune with it.

Suddenly, Cathy stops and says, “I’m lost!”

Tara continues playing, grinning from ear to ear. She then flourishes right into the finish, whooping in joy. Nearby Freshmen applaud and shout.

Cathy waves to them, “Thank you, thank you. Sorry for interrupting!”

Kitten says, “That was great!”

“Oh, it was nothing,” says Tara.

“That was awesome!”

Cathy smiles. “Oh, really, it’s nothing special. Just a bit of music to sooth the soul, you know?”

You pat Cathy on the back. “No, really. It was great! You all have a real special talent for this kind of music.”

“Well,” says Tabitha, “We’ve been playing since we were kids, I suppose we are definitely in practice so to speak.”

Kitten asks, “You guys are a band right?”

Cathy nods. “Not officially, but we do play together a lot, especially in the Folk Music Club.”

Kitten says, “You all should go official or something. Release an album.”

“Ah, no offense but that’s a stupid idea,” says Cathy. “Much as we know how to play instruments, we have no idea how to actually write songs. Never occurred to us now that I think about it.”

“Well,” you say. “Maybe we could help?”

Andrea looks over at you. “How can you help us?”

“Help you form a band, go legit. Release songs and stuff,” you say.

Cathy scratches her chin. “Well, I suppose it’d be nice. Are you really willing to help us with that?”

“Of course, if this stuff means a lot to you, you should be able to make careers out of it.”

They all smile, enthusiastic. Cathy says, “Oh, Gertrude! Figures you’d be the one to say something like this! Fine, if you want to make us official, we’ll do our best! Just give us a call!”

“Whoop,” Cathy stands up. “That’s the bell. We oughta get on going.” Cathy smiles at you. “Really, Gertrude, we appreciate all you’re doing for us.”

You nod. “It’s my pleasure.”

With that, the Freshmen leave, a bounce in their step.

Kitten stands up, but you stop her. “Ah, ah, where do you think you’re going?”

“Home?”

“Home?” you say. “There’s no home here, we’re having second lunch!”

You wave over at your staff. “Hey, girls!”

You had already secured your second helping of lunch and went to the usual table where everyone sat. Nancy sits next to you, while Lisa and Ramirez sit across as usual.

“President, I assume your dentist appointment well?” asks Nancy.

“My teeth are fit as a fiddle, Nancy,” you say. “What’s going on with you girls?”

Lisa shrugs. “Not much, since the USS Macon and Akron are in town, my History and Moral Philosophy professor decided to skip our curriculum and give a brief history on the both of them. They used to carry airplanes don’t you know.”

“Really?” you say, “Didn’t know that.”

Nancy nods. “It’s really interesting. Both of them are almost as old as Lafayette. Then in the 90s they got retrofitted as hybrid airships, they can take on a huge tonnage apparently all with better fuel efficiency than airplanes.”

More of the former. The Akron and Macon were both Navy airships designed to carry 4-5 biplanes. They, uh, both crashed due to storms. They were realtivley successful at carrying fighters, though.

> Converse Casually
> Talk Tanks

“So, the Macon and the Akron can carry tanks?”

Nancy nods. “The principle is that they use a lot of vertical lift engines to keep aloft. It wasn’t always like that, in the 30s the Macon and the Akron were just regular Zeppelins carrying a couple of biplanes for recon purposes. They were actually part of the inspiration for Crimson Skies!”

“Well, that I can appreciate,” you say.

Lisa says, “Say, you guys want to know something?” You and Nancy look at Lisa, curious. “So, apparently I read somewhere that the tracks on a tank actually remain stationary. The tank moves forward, but the track remains in the same place until it’s rolled up, whereupon it’ll move at twice the speed the tank is going.”

Nancy nods, enthralled. “I’ve heard of this! Really interesting principle to consider. I wonder if the Aces know it.”

You say, “Well, tell it to them when we shove off. Speaking of which, Nancy, do we have transport arranged?”

Nancy nods. “ITL’s provided some transportation for us, it’ll arrive at the airport at around 4:30 or such. So we got time.”

You nod. “Great.”

Whoopsie. Time for PE then.

You say goodbye to your staff and allow Kitten to return home, then move on to PE Class. There’s some choices in PE Class today, Volleyball, running the Mile, and Soccer. What shall you do?

Doesn't sound like they could then retrieve the aircraft they launched.

>>29116892

>>29116906
They actually used a Flying Trapeze system. Each Biplane carried a hook, rather large and unwieldy admittedly, and they would fly under the Zeppelin and hook onto a Trapeze sort of thing then be lifted up into the cargo hold.

This of course relied a lot on the individual pilot's skill and it's guaranteed that it might've required a couple of passes. If they didn't crash.

Also, don't traumatize the Aces.

>>29117054
They're pretty traumatized as it is.

> Soccer

You decide on being the team carry once again. You put Willie Hanna on the goal, and Nicole Grant… somewhere. It occurred to you that you don’t actually know much about Soccer beyond, “Use feet only” and “Get ball in goal.” That’s not exactly informative but it’s better than nothing.

You immediately run the ball through the other team, passing it occasionally to someone who actually knows what they’re doing, but they always pass it back to you. You manage to score a lucky goal your first shot in, the ball bouncing off the goalie’s hands and into the goal.

The second time is not all that difficult either. You run through the side, and although you’re practically surrounded, you manage to kick the ball through a Freshman’s legs, strafe around her, then swipe the ball right into the goal.

The rest of the match goes smooth as pudding. With that, you all hit the showers. Willie Hanna talks to you about the animation she’s working on.

“So, basically, it’ll just be a regular short. 2D animation, kind of limited in that sense but we’re hoping it’ll get the point across.”

You nod. “Great! When’s it going to be ready?”

“Well, if everything permits, two weeks from now,” she says.

“Ah, alright.”

“Anyway,” Hanna says, “Good luck with the Tank Meet tomorrow. I know it’s real important to you.”

You nod. “Thanks, Hanna. Tell the Animation Club I said thanks, okay?”

She nods back, smiling. “Okay!”

[1/2]

>>29117269
[2/2]

With that, you head onto Theatre Class. Not much happens apart from the Professor stepping out and thus Roberta and her cronies reverting back to improve games. You sigh, you thought you were over that. You were completely wrong.

History Class as well is pretty boring. You make the occasional small chat with Jane Keegan and Jeanette Smith, and they both seem excited for the Tank Meet tomorrow. However, they seem more concerned that they’re going to visit The Tank Museum.

“While I don’t consider myself a fan of tanks,” says Keegan, “I can appreciate some nice history, guided tours, and other stuff that museums provide.”

With that, History class is over and gives way to French class. Your French class is relatively boring today, with nary the entertainment but the education of learning how to conjugate verbs and use nouns properly in the feminine and masculine forms.

“Ah shit.” You plant your fist into your open palm. “I forgot to pack.”

Nancy looks surprised. “Oh! You should do it now! We only have about an hour or so before the plane arrives!”

You nod. “Ramirez.” She quickly slides on over to you. “I assume you’re packed?”

“Yes.”

…

“Okay, then,” you say as you pull out the Sophomore Dorm Master Key. “Ramirez, I need you to pack my things together. All my casual outfits, an extra school uniform. My laptop, my granddad’s binoculars be extra careful with those, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, and anything else you deem necessary. You follow me?”

Ramirez nods. “I’ll get it done.” She then quickly runs off into the horizon.

Nancy says, “I admire her dedication. I would’ve told you to pack it yourself.”

You shrug. “Well, the business of being a leader, Nancy, is knowing when to delegate. Now let’s head on over to the airport.”

With that, you, Kitten, and your staff minus Ramirez begin the walk over to the airport. You all look to see the USS Macon and USS Akron moored at the airport. It’s not a particularly long walk, and the casual chatter between all of you manages to fill the void long enough for you to arrive without any incident.

You arrive at the Glenn Curtiss Airport, and while mostly empty save for all of your crews, the few people that are inside it look very busy inside, rushing off to one place. You all check in, and the Naval Studies Merchant girls at the desk tell you they’ll alert you when the Flight has arrived.

Welp, looks like you got some time. What shall you do?

“Octavia, Wendy, I see you two made it.”

Octavia and Wendy shrug. “Well, we wouldn’t want to miss the Tank Meet,” says Octavia. “It’s actually first time we’ve been to one. Only ever been to Meets at the State Level. Worldwide, never been done by us.”

Wendy nods. “Yeah, it’s a hell of a thing.”

You say, “Well, we’re glad to have you both aboard. It really means a lot.”

Octavia nods, then looks over at Wendy. She nudges Wendy. “Ugh, sorry.”

You quirk your brow, confused. “Huh?”

Wendy says, “Sorry.” She looks over at Octavia, who looks back at her expectantly. She looks back at you. “Sorry for being so harsh on you. I understand you’re just trying to have fun as all. Octavia thinks I’ve been out of line, and I think I agree with her.”

You smile. “Oh, apology accepted, Wendy. It’s not like did any lasting damage you know.”

“Right,” says Octavia. “We’re all here to have fun, you know? That’s what Tankery is about. It’s not about having the best tanks, it’s about teamwork and girl power.”

“Yeah,” you say. “That’s it, Octavia.” You cringe a little on the inside. Not at Octavia’s girl power stuff mind you, but at the thought that they think this whole thing is just about having fun.

“Great, great! Hey, knock ‘em dead for me, will you?”

“Only because you asked, Griselda.”

“Great, call me in the morning, okay?”

“’Kay, see you.”

With that, you hang up. You notice Luciano standing next to you. Holy shit, you didn’t actually realize she was standing next to you. “Ah, Luciano. What’s up?”

Luciano shrugs. “Eh, just about ready to go otherwise. So, this Tank Meet thing, there going to be a lot of people?”

You nod. “I imagine so.”

Luciano sighs. “Well, that’ll be definitely be something then,” She points to your cellphone. “Who’s that you called?”

You say, “My little sister. She’s going to graduate from Middle School this year.”

“Ah, Middle School,” Luciano shakes her head contemptuously.

You do the same. “Middle School.”

“Well,” Luciano crosses her arms and walks over to her crew. “Anyways, no pressure or anything but don’t screw up. Okay?”

“Don’t need to tell me twice.”

With that, Ramirez arrives into the airport, carrying your luggage in a dufflebag. She hands it to you. “Thanks, Ramirez! You’ve been a big help.”

“I’m readier than a seasponge on his way to work!”

Nancy nods. “Excellent! Oh, I can’t wait to see what kind of plane we’ll be boarding!”

As if on cue, the Naval Studies Merchant kids over the intercom says, “Lafayette Girls Academy Tankery Program. Your transportation has arrived. Please proceed to Gate One, and good luck at the Tank Meet!”

You pump your fist. “Alright, let’s do this!”

You all move on down to the specified gate then head downwards onto the runway. There, you see your ride.

Marina squees. “A C-130 HERCULES! Oh my god, it’s beautiful!”

Nancy purses her lips. “Ah, that appears to be something.”

You all walk over to the rear ramp of the C-130. A man in a dull jumpsuit and a helmet, you presume to be the crewchief asks you, “You Gertrude Pool?”

You nod. “Yeah!”

The crewchief says, “Go ahead and load up! Should only be a couple of hours to Dorset from here! We’ve got seats for everybody! Your tanks are gonna arrive tomorrow in the morning!”

You nod. “Alright! Alright!”

You all load aboard the plane, sitting in the seats set up in the cargo hold. Everyone converses casually as you take a seat next to Kitten, who’s now idly playing on her DS as usual. You staff also take seats nearby you as well.

You crack open the Soldier of tomorrow. Nancy hands out a nice sandwich for everyone for dinner, assuming that the team makes it to the Hotel at around 8 after Dinner.

“… As Infantry have progressed through the ages, the focus becomes more and more on the strength of the individual rather than large unit tactics. Infantry today can operate in squads of up to 12 individuals.

“… Robert A. Heinlein presented an interesting look into how Infantry may evolve. A trooper encased in Power armor so incredibly well armored and well equipped that they are deployed one to every mile.”

The Aviation Studies crew sits across from you as the Plane starts flying. You shout, “Is it supposed to be this loud!?”

Marina nods, giddy as a child on Christmas. “You should be worried when it’s quiet!”

… Well, she’s not wrong.

“I gotta say! I’ve never seen the USS Macon and Akron before!” says Jenny. “It’s amazing to see those airships! They can carry over 3,000 pounds of cargo each! They’re slow as fuck but they have great idling power and range!”

Katya says, “I hear the British are planning on buying the Macon to convert it into an Academyship! If I had known that I would’ve had myself back a couple of years then waited until I could enroll! That’s so fucking awesome!”

You nod, leaning back in your seat.

...Is it wrong that I want Macon Academy Quest?

>>29118722
But these are biplanes, from the early days of flight.
They had their quirks.

>>29118651
Extremely loud, always either too hot or too cold, and like sitting inside a vibrator.

And the seats suck.

Yes. We have plenty of GuP quests as it is.

Having Fran as your dentist would be terrifying.

Could be worse.

She could be our surgeon.

>>29118949
having Fran for anything is horrifing to the extreme.

> Read a Book (Anyone Can Cook)

You decide to give your good old cookbook another readthrough. You flick through the various recipes and easy to do techniques on cooking that you otherwise missed on the first go. All in all, a good read, but you’re feeling just a smidge tired. You might as well rest your eyes for just a second.

> Anyone Can Cook: Progress: 110%

“Trudy?”

You open your eyes. “Huh? What? What happen?”

“We’re here,” says Kitten.

“… Really?” You check the time. It’s 5 to 8. “I was asleep that long?”

Kitten tilts her head right to left. “Well, you did rest your head on my shoulder and I didn’t really want to wake you.”

You smile sheepishly. “D’aaawww…”

The crewchief walks down the aisle, rousing everyone out of their seats. “Alright, up, up. Time to leave!”

You stand up and head out the back of the plane, your dufflebag under your arm. You staff stands behind you, as does the rest of your crews. You all walk on down off the runway and into Bournemouth Airport in Dorset.

With your luggage secured and ready, you head through the security checkpoints and such, and find that no one has any significant contraband on them. Good, at least they’re not the TSA. Lord knows you’re not going through a TSA checkpoint again. You all head through the busy airport and as you’re walking, you see a woman wearing the same outfit the Tankery judges did that day against Heinlein. You see she’s holding up a sign reading, “Lafayette.”

You walk over to her. “Are you our transport?”

She grins. “Yep! I assume you’re Gertrude Pool?”

>>29118820
>Yes. We have plenty of GuP quests as it is.
Heresy.jpg. One can never have too much GuP.

>>29119185
they might be one and the same. we'll never know.

>>29119218
I used to think the same about Strike Witches.
Nine quests later, six of them abominations, not anymore.

>>29119218
Then writefag in the slow quest. Or make art for any of the three. Or watch GuP over again, but for the love of god, don't start a 4th GuP quest. We're full up on GuP, and I don't want this to turn into "Strikers whatteverthefuck" and attract more people to shitpost in the already-running threads.

You nod. “That’s me. Who are you?”

She grins so brightly that you swear you start seeing galaxies in her teeth. “My name is Ashley! I’m your ITL Liaison for the duration of your stay here in Dorset! If you have any questions about the ITL, just feel free to ask me!”

You nod. “Okay, great!”

Ashley turns around. “Now then, PANZER VOR!”

…

“What?” you ask.

“Panzer vor means Panzer vor,” says Ashley. “It means Tanks advance. NOW THEN, LET’S GO!”

Well, you’ve met weirder people you suppose.

Ashley leads you out to the front where a Bus has been chartered for your crews. Ashley herself appears to ride in that small looking German tank which Octavia immediately identifies as a Panzer I.

“Ah, I see you’re well-versed in Tankery already!” Ashley compliments Octavia, then hops into the Panzer I. “Anyway, the Bus driver will follow me to the Hotel, I’ll lead you all to your rooms when we’re there!”

You all mount up in the bus, you sitting next to Kitten.

I am having the delusion we can have a full Ace team before the meet.

Nodding off during the actual meet won't do us any good.

Then why read it? It's not going anywhere, and you obviously don't care for it, so what does it matter that someone writefags for it?

“So, Octavia, Wendy, how are you two holding up?”

Octavia and Wendy are sitting in the seats behind you, and Octavia says, “Pretty good all things considered.”

Wendy says, “Wonder why that ITL Official drives a Panzer I. Machine gun for armament, paper thin armor.”

“Well, the Panzer I was the important stepping stone on getting towards tanks like the Panzer II all the way up to the Tiger, Wendy,” says Octavia. “Plus, it makes a great scout, fast and agile.”

“Eh, I’d prefer the Panzer II. It can at least put up a fight,” says Wendy.

Octavia says, “Anyway, I’m guessing you’re not at all nervous for the Tank Meet?”

You shake your head. “Not at all, it should be a snap getting everything together. Who knows, maybe we’ll meet some new people, make some friends. And hey, you two should have a neat reputation.”

They all shrug.

With that, the bus appears to arrive at your fabulous hotel. All of you dismount and immediately look in awe at how huge it is. It’s even more illustrious on the inside, fountain, grand staircase, weird modern architecture, a SPORTS BAR.

Ashley slides into your view. “Let me lead you all to your rooms! Keep in mind, some other Tankery teams have arrived before you, so please mind them, will you?”

You nod. “Of course.”

You’re all lead to your rooms. Each crew has their room. You see that they’re mostly doubles. It’s like being at the Hotel before having to go to MEPS. Ashley leads you into your room, another double. Two large beds for your five man crew. Ashley says, “Right, good night! Breakfast will be free in the morning!”

Everyone begins unpacking, chattering idly.

I understand, but think of it this way:
You know a guy who loves to drink vodka. He asks if he should start handing out vodka, and you tell him "No, there's enough vodka around as it is," and someone else says "why don't you try to mix in some OJ with yours?" to the dude. You might not like screwdrivers, you might think they're the worst kind of mixed drink around, but it's not going to harm you if Senor Shit-taste decides to make his out of the off-brand vodka you weren't going to drink anyways.

“Kitten, let’s go!”

“Go where?”

“Take a shower!”

“But-“ You take Kitten by the wrist and lead her into the bathroom. “Okay then.”

The both of you disrobe then start up the shower. You both get to scrubbing and washing in the most efficient manner, at least you do, Kitten’s just doing it because you told her to. Once you’re finished with yourself, you work on Kitten.

“Do we really have to take showers together?” she asks.

“Only until you learn to take care of yourself more, honestly. Not brushing your teeth? Not washing your hair? You’re a wreck, Kitten!” you say.

“Whatever, just get it over with,” she says she simply stands there as you scrub down her body.

With your shower complete, Kitten gets dressed out in some pajamas that Nancy secured for her while you simply go with the shirt from your uniform and your panties. Kitten says, “Risky, Trudy.”

“Hey,” you say as you lie forward on the bed, smirking. “Nancy sleeps in the nude, why is this risky?”
