“Well nothing on your scale, Lisa! I happen to be a very phosisticated-“

“Sophisticated,”

“Gesundheit. Anyway, I’ve had accidents yes a couple of times at happen but they weren’t shit on the kitchen floor and on the window and the like.”

Kitten asks you, “What about that time you tried to cook for Father’s Day?” You sigh. Damn it, Kitten.

Lisa smirks. “Oh? I thought you cooked pretty well, Boss.”

“That wasn’t the case a month ago,” you say. As you moved into the lockerroom to change into your Tankery uniforms, you relay the story. “I may have accidentally set the kitchen on fire, which got the Fire Department involved, and I may have accidentally scared the everloving hell out of the neighbors. Especially the boy who lived next door, he always seemed nervous around me before then, now he just ran whenever I walked up to him to say hello.”

Lisa laughs. “Oh, you’re hopeless, Boss.”

“Whatever,” you say as you button up Kitten’s jacket.

> Talk Tanks (Assigning Command Perks)

Let's go with Blitz ourselves. Kate can go with Lockdown, and Luciano can have Rally.

>>30436313
We had Rally last time when our morale was higher, and it never saved us CP. Luciano should have Lockdown too.

>>30436313
Luciano doesn't need ralley the Aces need Far Sight since they have a big ass gun

Let's not waste too many CP. This match is just for fun. Losing does not destroy the world.

>>30436209
> Read a Book (Specify)

>>30436349
You should re-read what Far Sight does.

>>30436359
Of course, but it doesn't cost CP to assign them Command Perks. Why not do it?

>>30436359
But it does give us an opportunity to gauge the effectiveness of one of our techniques in a pressure free environment, so that we know what we're getting when we do use it in the match.

>>30436421
I agree with this guy. I really want to know how effective Blitz can be.

>>30436414
>>30436421
I'm not saying to not assign them. I'm just cautioning against using them willy-nilly.

>>30436414
It let's them check for any hidden enemies, I think this is good considering that the Aces are accurate.

Lockdown is good

but I think Luciano will work better with Blitz

> Read a Book (Engineering for High School Students)

You read through the last bit of Engineering for High School Students. It’s mostly review on engine work, plating, and other details that escape your non-engineering degree mind. Maybe you should’ve taken a class in one of the Engineering electives.

> Engineering for High School Students: Progress: 100%
> + 10 CP

Your vision goes as Kitten drops your helmet over your head. It tips right over your eyes. You tip it back and smirk at her, who simply snickers as she rolls up the thigh highs on the legs. You notice they’re shaven smooth. The girl’s learning.

Lisa says, “Right, ramblers. Let’s get rambling.”

You were informed by the Naval Studies student Englehorn that a brief storm in the middle of the night slowed progress of the ship. You’re only now arriving into port. Thusly, as you walk around the deck, you can see all manners of students working diligently on getting everything prepared for offloading and such.

You and your crew stand at the bow and look at the rapidly approaching coastline. Scotland.

Thank the Captain and crew of the ship, and maybe ask if their services can be used for the match against Walter Christie in Sweden.

>>30436473
I agree with you completely. This match should be treated as an opportunity, both so we can learn to not rely on our maneuvers and to test techniques in the safest environment we have.

>>30436507
Saunders doesn't play to sneaky game. We'll probably need it for Walter Christie though, trying to spot their artillery.

And Blitz is a command for all our teams, I'd rather plop down Luciano and give ourselves the more active ability. I don't want to trust an NPC to time a Blitz.

Nancy says, “That’s pretty much all there is to it. If you want to make any changes, do it now.”

You nod, then look over at Ramirez. “Ramirez, would you mind seeing to Englehorn. Ask her if we can make use of the ship to get to Sweden or something?”

Ramirez nods then runs off quickly, almost slipping on the wet deck.

“So, President. Everything in order?”

You say, “I think that would be fair.”

“Alright,” says Nancy, smiling. “That’s a fair decision, President!”

You look over to see Ramirez coming back, she finally slips on the deck, falling ass over tit onto the cold hard steel. Englehorn helps her back up quickly. “Gertrude, I heard you’re in need of my services to take you down to Sweden.”

You nod. “That’s right.”

“That’s a two day trip at least,” says Englehorn bluntly. “We might make it by Friday night if we’re lucky. Are you sure?”

You nod. “Sure as the sun rises. I don’t see any other way we can get our tanks there.”

“Alright,” says Englehorn. She takes an old dusty pocketwatch out of her coat and flicks it open. “We’re on a tight schedule, so once you’re done with your match, I expect you back on the ship as soon as possible, regardless of the state of your tanks here. I’ll forward the time when we leave port to you in a couple of hours. Once we leave, I’m not stopping, so if you’re left behind, that’s not my problem.”

You nod. “Understood.”

Englehorn nods, then leaves you, lazily waving goodbye.

Lisa whistles a bit. “Tight ship she runs.”

“I don’t blame her,” you say. “A lot of work goes into this stuff, you know?”

Well, unless she knows any other potential method of transport we can use that's fast enough (preferably by air), we'll have to take it.

You take a read through of the Engineering book as you pass through your tanks.

Your teams laze around their tanks, chattering, playing some music in the case of the Freshmen, almost drowned out by the crashing waves and the sound of boats passing by the ship.

Your tanks are in good shape for now, just a bit damp from the sea air but the Saunders match oughta fix everything about that.

“We’re arriving!” yells a Naval Studies student. “Get the crane ready!”

The ship slides into port neatly as you all get ready and line up at the railing topside. You’re just about waiting for the gangplank to get down for you. You look down at the jetty and see who else but Kay, Alisa, and Naomi waving at you, behind them are trucks and jeeps. You wave back politely, as does the rest of your crew.

Soon, the gangplank is finally down and you all step off the ship, glad to be on dry land.

Kay walks up to you, beaming and grinning. “Hey there!” she says. “Have a nice trip?”

“Oh, it was lovely! I’ve been on a ship that small!” you say. “Englehorn was a real help too. Nice of you to arrange our transport for us.”

Kay smiles, wrapping her arm around you and leading you on to the vehicles. Both of your crews follow behind you two. “Oh, I spared no expense! This is a friendly match between the two of us! I feel like you and I are just damn good friends now!”

“Well,” you shrug. “Yeah.”

“Anyway, Trude,” says Kay. “You’ll ride with me, Alisa, and Naomi to the staging area. We’ll have trucks transport your tanks and your crews there as well.” You walk up to the jeep, where Alisa and Naomi are already sitting in the back. Looks like you’ve got shotgun. “Feel free to bring a friend or two along!”

> Bring an Tank Commander (Needlepoint/Campfire)

Juliette and Eleanor climb aboard into the back while you take the passenger seat. With that, Kay drives the jeep off first ahead of the pack.

Juliette asks Kay, “You ever have Girl Scout cookies?”

Kay shakes her head. “No, how are they?” Juliette offers her a thin-mint, which Kay takes curiously. She bites into it, then suddenly begins swerving off the road. “WHOA! THIS TASTES AWESOME!”

“WATCH THE ROAD!” yells Alisa.

Kay immediately corrects her route then grins. “I love these! How much!”

“We can have them delivered to you for a reasonable-“

“To hell with it, I’ll buy as many as I can buy!” she yells over the wind. She looks back at Eleanor briefly. “You got anything to sell me?” she says jokingly.

Eleanor clenches her teeth, grabbing hold of the side in case Kay does anything. “Well, we’re a Sewing Club and do do custom commissions for dresses, business or formal-“

Kay screams, “AWESOME! I’LL TAKE 20 DRESSES!”

Naomi leans over and whispers in your ear. “She’s likes to spend money.”

You nod. “I noticed.”

>>30438294
I kind of feel bad using Kay's image as a mental base for how Frendendall looks like

> Talk with Someone (Kay)

You ask Kay, “So, how are things been with you, Kay?”

Kay smiles. “Things have been alright I suppose. We did lose in the first matches of our major tournaments this year so I suppose I should be sad. But I’m not! There are lessons to be learned, tanks to fight! It’s a real hell of a thing keeping up with it all!”

You nod. “So where exactly do you get all this money again?”

“We’ve sponsored by a lot of automotive companies, Chrysler, Ford, a lot of the old companies that used to make the Shermans. When our Tankery program started winning matches, they started donating money and old worn out Sherman hulls they had in storage!” she says. “Plus, we generally sell tanks that aren’t Shermans that we find.”

“Cool, I’m sponsored by a couple of museums and a barbershop.”

Kay laughs at that. “That’s a start! I’m looking forward to when you’re sponsored by NASA!” The both of you laugh at that.

Finally, you arrive at the staging area. Bleachers have been set up and you can smell the air of Fish and chips on your nose. Crowds are moving here and fro as you drive up to the giant screen TV set up. Three judges are already out and about ready to start.

Carrie says, “A friendly match between Saunders and LGA. Seems pretty standard, but unusual that you’d schedule a match with them in between your bid for the World Tournament.”

You shrug. “I need to get experience somehow.”

“Of course,” says Abigail. “We look forward to judging your match and we look forward to seeing you do well, Miss Pool.”

Your crews are here, waiting for you to shake hands with Kay for the match. You walk over to them, patting each Commander on the shoulder and telling each of them good luck. “Good luck, all of you.”

You stop at Luciano last. “Luciano, you doing okay?”

Luciano looks a bit uncharacteristically nervous. “I feel nervous, confused a bit, nauseas a little.”

You nod. “It’ll pass, Luciano. Just stick to the plan…” you realize Lisa hasn’t told you the plan. Eh, you’ll ask her once things are in motion. “And hey, nothing’s riding on this match alright? This is for fun, and it’ll be a nice learning experience for us tankers, old and new. Alright?”

Luciano nods. “Alright. I suppose I’ll try not to fucking suck.”

With that, the alarm is called. Time to begin the match.

You say, “I don’t need it. But good luck to you to.”

Kay chuckles a bit at that.

With that, you and crews head onto the staging areas for your tanks.

Lisa sits next to you in the truck. “Right, here’s the plan! There are two bridges, so it’s simple. We separate the team into three wings. You’ll command the reserve which will consist of you, the Churchill, the SOMUA, the Hellcat, and the Stuart. Meanwhile, Kate will take some tanks, she’ll go eastward towards the northernly bridge. She’s got the KV-85, the Panzer IV, and the Sentinel. Luciano will take the StuG and the T-34 down to the south bridge.

“Once we lock them down, they’ll have to come into our lanes of fire. You can sit back in reserve until it’s all over or until you need to shore up a flank or something. That sound good?”

Too much split. If they all push one bridge, we'll lose that force.

“We should probably send in the Poles to scout the outer banks of the river, poke and prod for any fording points maybe. And maybe we could send the Hellcat with Luciano. That sound good?”

Lisa nods. “Sure. I’ll brief the teams on it.”

With that, you arrive at the starting area. Lisa quickly goes over the plans with the crews, Luciano in particular looks a bit concerned. You’ve got faith in her though. If she messes up, she’ll learn.

“Right, any questions?” says Lisa. Nobody answers. “Alright, get to your tanks, let’s get this show on the road.”

All of you mount up and put on your helmets. You do the straps on your helmet then hop onto Cupid the Sherman tank. It’s time to bust some heads.

The flare goes off. The match begins. You yell over the radio, “Advance!”

If I were Saunders, I'd button up in the town and camp. Place the Firefly somewhere just behind us and just blast everything like crazy. Keep picking off the weaker tanks with the 17 pdr then when the numbers have been whittled down, go for the rush.

>>30439638

If I'm us, I say we bottle them up in the town though. Hold them at the southern bridge and then hit them with the KT, Panther and Hellcat from the North

>>30439682
You'd be pretty exposed. It'll be hard to hit Saunders in the town due to buildings and they can bring superior numbers to bear inside it.

> Proceed as Planned

You lean back on the cupola, lazily scanning the field from your grandad’s binoculars. The only ones here with you now are the Churchill and the SOMUA, waiting quietly for the word to move.

“This is Janek, we’re rolling up the banks, nothing to note so far,” says Janek over the static-y radio noise.

“Kate here, we’re fording past the river and moving to the northern bridge. Should be there in minutes.”

“Luciano, we’re moving steadily.”

You nod. Alright, things are going good. Everything seems quiet so far. Of course, if movies have taught you anything, when things are quiet, something is going to go down.

You fold open a map, checking out the area closely. Saunders is packing three assault guns with 105 Howitzers, probably made for bridgehead duties. Bomb out the defenders, roll in the tanks in the confusion. That would seem simple enough. You scope out a smaller bridge just upriver of the northern bridge.

“Kate-“

“I know about that bridge. I’m sending Keegan to scope it out.”

You nod. Girl knows her stuff.

But back on your intuition, it does look like there are more fording points upriver towards the dam. They look incredibly rocky however, but that doesn’t rule out anything.

As for the south bridge, it’s actually listed as taking weights at 17 tons. Still, you might to keep watch over it. No sense in just leaving it unguarded, especially since it looks like the river down there seems low enough to ford.

“This is Janek. I see their Shermans. Looks like the big guns are heading south towards Luciano. I count… five of them.”

Nancy hands you a sandwich to eat for lunch in the middle of the match. Ham and cheese, excellent. It’s filling enough for you. You pull up your radio and say, “Luciano, you there?”

“Yeah? What’s up?”

“It sounds like you’ve got about half of Saunders rolling down on your side, maybe for a flanking attack. Do you have it covered?”

“I don’t see any tanks.”

“You sure? They should be in sight by now,” you say

“Nothing on my end, just green fields and the like.”

… Green fields? Oh boy. You ask, “Luciano, are you lost?”

“No! No! I’m… okay, yes I’m a little lost.”

You rub your forehead a bit. “Luciano, just head east where the sun’s coming up. Alright, and hurry to the bridge before they get there.”

“Alright! I read you!”

Too bad this isn't Unlimited. Some datalinks ripped from late 90s aircraft would be totally awesome.

>>30440338
It hit me that she never was good with direction. We need to hit her up with a private tutor; one of the Aces.

>>30440282
Datalinks, bruh, not planes.

Datalinks are the units that allow aircraft and their instrumentation to talk to other planes and pilots.

ie, it's what lets AWACS send radar information to F-14s (F-18s now) or F-15s or F-16s, or what allows one F-18 pilot to share his radar information with his flight leader if they're flying a patrol/whatever.

Basically it'd allow the Stuart to send telemetry and locational information to other tanks that needed it, although probably just officers, since those units aren't cheap.

but none of this matters, 'cuz we're in Classic.

Okay, since Luciano is pretty much indisposed, you have to figure out how this changes the situation.

1. Saunders has an incredibly good chance of getting to that bridge and fording point first.

2. If Saunders catches Luciano and Janek out in the open, they’re not likely to survive, especially if Saunders capitalizes on the weakness with reinforcements (Which they most likely will, perhaps in force).

3. You have no clue where Luciano is.

You sigh. Kate’s probably got her end under control though, that’s some consolation, but a gap in your defenses is not going to bode well.

“This is Janek! The Shermans are beginning to cross the river!”

You ask, “Do you see Luciano’s tanks?”

“No! It’s empty!” yells Janek. “Do you want us to defend it?”

Gutsy. “Stay back for now, Janek.”

>I think this counts as "Make an Adjustment"

>>30440607
Been there, done that...

>>30440576
Move forward slightly and put yourself and the Somua just in position to see the bridge.

Then start blasting tracer rounds and HE at the Bridge. It won't do jack to the Shermans but Luciano can follow the pretty lights.

Also, get Kate to move just slightly up the hill so she can see the bridge. Shooting at a range of 3kms is going to be nigh impossible but any extra firepower would be nice.

>>30440576
Start moving towards the south bridge and warn Kate that things are not going exactly as planned

>>30440576
> Make an adjustment (Write-in)

GUYS, let's order them to plant themselves defensively around A755, in whatever cover they can

>>30440576
Supporting this >>30440663
Also Schteel, the CP count should be 87 now since used intuition again.

>>30440663
That will give away the position of a lot of our tanks, and the return is questionable. Not saying I have a better idea,though. Fire tracer rounds with just one tank, so we'll not give the other two tanks away.

>>30440663
Seems like a solid plan to me. Supporting.

>>30440663
Supporting

>>30440663
Not impossible, just...more difficult.

It looks like at a KwK 43 firing APCR at 30 degrees will penetrate about 153mm at 2,000 meters. At 3000 meters I'd expect that number to be above 100 still, but probably closer to 100 than not.

If Michelle can get sighted in she could probably do some damage. Shermans aren't thick skinned, and they're definitely not sloped at 30 degrees.

>>30440663
Not sure an HE round can go that far.

Still it's better the plant them in defensive positions around A755 since that will be the main road their taking

>>30440576
> Rush the South Bridge
I doubt we'll make it. Prepare for urban combat on the closest town.

> Check in a Crew (Last Chancers)
Looks like we'll have to go and do this together.

- Saunders might be situated at that town on our side by now, so we'll use Luciano's Far Sight perk to sniff out any potential ambush.
- Follow it up with Blitz on our end to crush the defenders.

>>30440226

Luciano... You had one job...

This is going to cost us some confidence. I think the pressure might be getting to her and making her make somewhat stupid mistakes

>>30440576

>Make an Adjustment

Call Luciano. Tell her to bunker down in a the nearest forest.

>>30440772
I think the more obvious joke is "women can't drive (or navigate)"

>>30440710
I'll support this in addition to the plan.

>>30440710
Kate won't open fire. Just us and the Somua from extreme range. Even then, that's more about telling Luciano which way to go than anything else.

Kate is more for emergencies. Which means it will come into play. The rest of her squad is meant to stay put though. Only Kate and her aces has any real hope of hitting anything from that distance.

>>30440772

This isn't the first time she got lost, remember that practice team battle where she accidentally ran into us?

>>30440663
+1

Might be worth considering sacrificing a couple tanks from Luciano's group to pull the rest of Saunders across the south bridge. Then us and Kate roll across to their side of the river and catch them on the return.

But in the meanwhile, let's go with this.

>>30440808
We need to train her driver in navigation I mean, seriously, how many times can you get lost before realizing you need help/need to pay more attention?

She was doing so well too

>>30440808
Someone should have made sure she knew how to read a map.
We can do that before Walter Christie though, it's no biggie.

> Make an Adjustment

“Luciano, we’re going to try and light the way for you.” You lower down into the turret and say, “Lisa, move us forward a couple of yards. Ramirez, load a tracer.”

Your tanks roll forward some few yards, then you begin firing off tracer rounds, letting it zoom in the general direction of the bridge.

“We see it!” yells Luciano. “We’re moving in that direction then!”

“This is Kate. We’ve got A1E8s, two of them trying to come up our end.”

> KO: M4A1E8 “King Bee” (COMP. SPEC.)
> KILL CREDITED TO: TEAM TIGRIS

“Well, one,” says Kate bluntly. The other one’s backing off now.

“Good job,” you say. “Keep the advantage.”

“This is Janek! All of five of them have crossed the river!” she yells. “They’re northbound on the A755! I can see more Shermans coming down the A711 too! At least another three!”

Well, with our impromptu fireworks display, Saunders is sure to know where we are now and where we are likely to go.
Let them keep on thinking that, so that they'll be blindsided by Luciano's group.

Enticing them even further by letting them know our Flag tank is with us is optional, but it's a risky proposition since we still got no tabs on the Firefly yet.

>>30440890
>>30440977
THis.

>>30441008
They already crossed the bridge and already on the road!

It's better to cripple them on route via ambush along the road.

The Stug is built for that and the Panther is a strong tank

>>30441085
Well yes, hence engage them in the open.

Also, there's not really any good ambush positions. Like, the whole place is boring.

>>30441140
Their 6 Shermans!

We have a Panther, A Stug and A T-34, and a Hellcat.

DONT RUSH THE BRIDGE

Luciano's already outnumbered 5-3, don't blindly suicide them into the Shermans when we won't be gaining any reasonable tactical advantage.

Wait for the other 3 Shermans to commit to the river, then ours and Kate's teams cross the north bridge. This way we'll outnumber them 2 to 1 instead of the other way round. This lets us try to snipe their flag tank when the majority of their forces are still across the river.

I think we're closer to the southern bridge anon, since we've already been firing on them.

“Uh, I think we’re already on the A755 and moving… eastwards?”

“How are we going to ambush them! There are no trees for miles!”

“Figure something out!”

With that, the three of your tanks start rolling out down south. You bite your lip, things are not going well. Then you hear it, gunfire.

Janek yells, “The three Shermans are crossing! I can see the Firefly with them!”

You arrive at the road, observing the Hellcat at the side of the road with a burning engine. Luciano and her remaining tanks, the T-34 and the StuG rolling backwards down the road and firing away at the five Shermans, their panic allowing their accuracy to suffer immensely.

You’re right in between the two parties, and it doesn’t look like the Shermans have noticed you.

Kate, haul your ass down here. We need you to cross the river full force and slam the door behind the Shermans across the river. Forget arriving in force, full speed ahead!

Instruct Kate's group to cross the bridges and press the attack.

BLITZ! - You can now order all tanks to charge at enemy positions, at the cost of 15 CP. This will sow general confusion among the ranks of the enemy as you and all of your tanks blaze through their lines.

This is why, we need to get them confused and hopefully we can shoot their rear

>>30441352
> BLITZ!: - 15 CP

>>30441352
>BLITZ!

Can't wait any longer, if we let them go past we run the risk of catching friendly fire as we hit them from behind. Also we don't want to wait for the other Shermans to cross the river.

They've already committed their Firefly, so I think it's safe for Kate's team to come down and support as well. The Poles can scout the north bridge for us when we focus our efforts on eliminating this advance party.

>>30441459
There's us and the Somua. Even numbers.

Primary objective is to buy time and keep the crews together. A Blitz will confuse the opponent and give us time to get our act together. The 3 Shermans coming up behind are a problem but they'll take time to get here. Kate can then haul ass behind them and surround and destroy.

That said, tell Wojtek to get over here. This is the critical moment and we need all hands on deck.

>>30441466
>>30441426
This please

>>30441487
It might work if there wasnt another group of shermans approaching behind their main line

>>30441445
>Rally!
Nobody has that skill "equipped", and no one is Frenzied yet.

In hindsight, that's a perfect time to use Far Sight on Luciano's end. Oh well, something to note down for the future.

>>30441459
The general idea is good, our team gonna have to do some flank attack/ maneuvering to get the advantage back. Not sure if blitz is the right idea though.

>>30441528

Are you sure you know what it does?

This.

I meant "that was/that would've been". Before the Hellcat got KO'd. Sorry for wording it improperly.

“Kitten, tune into everyone in the vicinity!” Kitten nods and starts wiring the radio. “To all tanks here! CHAAAAAARGE!”

Everyone yells like furies as you rush the Shermans head long. The Shermans roll backwards slowly, firing their guns. It’s mostly just the M4A3s however, and their shots bounce right off the Panther’s frontal armor. The 105 Howitzers blow holes in the road, making your ride at them just the slightest more bumpier but no worse in the end.

You roll between two Shermans, who break ranks to try and turn around. The Panther follows past, blasting a hole right into one.

> KO: M4A3 Sherman (COMP. SPEC.) “Yankee Doodle”
> KILL CREDITED TO: TEAM LAST-CHANCERS

The rest of your tanks begin rolling at them, firing point blank at them and starting to shred their numbers.

The last 105 manages to escape the fray and start towards the bridge. Oh no you don’t.

Get the Tiger II's group crossing the bridge. After that, we press the attack.

You know... That bridge is pretty narrow...

> Send in the Somua
> Everyone else Regroup
> Kate starts moving down

If we can cause a traffic jam on the bridge because the 105 is retreating across while those other 3 are crossing then we can blow the whole thing apart.

BUT there's no guarantee of that. So just send one tank in to pressure the 105 and see if we can catch them off guard.

>>30441709
>Regroup

Get back into position and wait for Saunder's next move. Can't afford to rush in and get shredded by the Firefly.

>>30441765

I was under the impression that the reinforcing shermans were close and that Saunders would perform better than they did in the show.

>BUT there's no guarantee of that. So just send one tank in to pressure the 105 and see if we can catch them off guard.

If the 105 sees that only one tank is pursuing, it might try to take on that tank. It really depends on if the enemy wants to regroup on this side of the bridge or the other

>>30441899
that's a terrible idea. we don't want the SOUMA crew to take a hit

>>30441964
Somua and one other tank then. Say... Stug? Enough to get that 105 to keep rolling backwards

> Regroup

“Hold up! Reform, let’s orient eastward!”

Your tanks stop pursuing the 105 to get into some semblance of a rectangular formation, with you in the center.

KILL CREDITED TO: SHERMAN VC FIREFLY (ELITE) “Velikye Luki”

“This is Janek, we might have gotten a bit overconfident,” they say. “However, they’re committing more tanks, I even see their flag tank crossing the river now.”

You count. You just destroyed four tanks in this melee, Kate has a kill on her. Thusly, there are seven tanks on this end. They’re pulling an all-in.

“Alright, thanks Janek,” you say quickly. “Everyone, get ready!”
