I got so much rain in the back yard that I got a small lake.....nothing but rain for days....KILL ME!

Still, it's nice to not have to wait on the way out the door- checking out is something like leaving a hotel, though you let Ice talk to Mary. As the matron of the house, and the woman in charge of everything under it's roof, she's also the one who keeps track of the guests staying in the house, necessitating chatting with her before you leave. Instead, however, you busy yourself helping Wendy move the luggage, somewhat expanded, now, to include an old US army footlocker, out to the van and from there to the train. Not that you have any problem with Mary- far from it, she's been polite and professional the entire time you've been here- but you are kind of anxious to get back to Barin and flying.

The train carries you to Ipswitch, where you've barely got enough time to make it to the docks to meet the supply ferry headed out to the island- your ride back. Despite being forewarned about passengers, the security at the docks holds you up briefly while they double check your identity, then wave you all aboard, where the captain warns you to stay out of the way of the loading and shows you to the small lounge for passengers. From Ipswitch, the small ship will follow the coast, heading to Barin Island to unload it's cargo- and you.

2/3 (oops)

The actual sea leg of the trip isn't scheduled to be that long- the weather is surprisingly agreeable. Even with that said, though you're warned that people tend to not last long in the cold waters of the channel, so going overboard is risky, at best. Given the way the small ship handles the water, you're glad you've been to sea before.

But, while you and Ice have long since overcome seasickness and learned to walk, even in the riotous conditions of a gale- the worst either of you have ever been to sea in- Wendy hasn't, and is looking a bit green.

“You ok Wendy?” Ice asks, a split second before you do.

“Never been on a ship before.” She says, a hand on her stomach.

“First time is always the worst.” Ice says, nodding. “If you want, we can go walk around on deck, the air might help.”

[] Agree with Ice- the air might help and walking around might take her mind off it.
[] Just let her ride it out in here- not much you can really do, and you don't want to get in the way.

[x] Agree with Ice- the air might help and walking around might take her mind off it.

The best way to deal with it, you know, is to sleep, but this is a short enough trip you doubt it's worth the effort. Not to mention, going to sleep in the passenger lounge, even for people like you, is probably out of the question- let alone for Wendy. Impressive though she may be, she's not a combat vet, and the time-honored skill of being able to sleep anytime, anywhere, is one she probably hasn't picked up. Yet.

“Ice is right.” You say, nodding and standing up. “C'mon, let's go walk around a bit, the air will help.”

You and Ice end up standing on opposite sides of her- it's almost funny, really, seeing someone without their sea legs trying to learn to walk, even in a relatively calm sea like this. You tense up somewhat as she approaches the chain railing along the sides of the deck- it's calm, but that doesn't mean shit can't happen. You've seen people go overboard with less chop than this.

“This does help, a little.” She says, her voice still shakey. “I don't see how you do it. You're at sea all the time.”

Ice laughs. “That's how we do it.” She says, simply.

Wendy nods. “I gue-” She cuts herself off to lean sharply over the side of the ferry as her stomach empties itself into the water below.

“Feel better?” You ask, handing her your handkerchief.

She nods. “A little.”

“Guess it's a good thing we came out here.” You say, shaking your head as she tries to hand it back. “Hold onto it.”

You and Ice try to keep her talking- distractions can help too, and even with as short as the trip is, you find yourself wishing the small ship would move faster.

“So what's this ferry carrying, anyway?” You ask, looking around- there's a few steel shipping containers lashed down on the deck, and you know there's plenty of crates down in the hold.

1/2 ( I think)

Ice shrugs. “Fuel, food, parts. Little bit of everything, really.” She says. “Barin's hosting a lot more people than it usually does right now, and you and the twins are burning through the jet fuel there a lot faster than most people expected.”

“You'd think they'd have planned for this a little better.” You say.

Ice looks over at you. “They did.” She says. “But matrons aren't exactly up to speed on the care and feeding of a modern fighter aircraft. Let alone two of the most cutting edge ones in service.”

She motions down at the deck of the ship. “There's supposed to be a couple bigger fuel tanks down there, they'll be installed by the castle engineers to give us a bigger supply for you and the twins, because right now we're using war-era tanks they installed for the five oh one in the forties, and they didn't burn near the fuel you do.”

You nod- it makes sense- and nudge Wendy lightly in her ribs, pointing out the island coming into view. “Couple more minutes.” You say.

As you near the castle, you frown at the familiar howl of a pair of wyvern engines. Ice looks up at the castle runway, too, mirroring your frown.

“That's the twins.” She says. “But I wonder what they're doing? They're just supposed to be flying chase for the testing phase.”

You shrug as the wyvern leaps from the end of the runway, the blue plume of it's afterburner flame clearly visible even in the daytime. “Camera system integration?”

Ice shrugs- no witches follow them up, so it's not an alert, and ten minutes later, long after the twins have faded into the distance, heading east, your ship bumps up to the smaller dock on the island.

“Ah, the baron be returnin', I see.” A familiar voice greets you with a chuckle. “And who be dis? A new girl already? Baron, you be settin' a hard example to follow.”

“Oh hi Brigette.” You greet, tossing her your personal bag before heading down the ramp. “So what brings you here?”

“Asset protection.” She says, tossing the bag back to you once you're on the dock. “My girls an' me, we be watchin' your planes and you. Russians have a bounty on ya, ya know.”

You nod, noting she's wearing a pair of camoflagued tank strikers and is carrying a rifle- an M-14, you note, like Ice's. “That dire?” You ask, indicating her strikers.

She laughs and shrugs. “No, but we don't be wantin to get caught off guard.” She says.

“So you think there's a threat, then?” Ice says, reading into it.

The Spec ops witch shrugs. “You be havin three Russians here who don't be under your command. One of them you've tangled with before, and one is...” She trails off, looking for words. “She's not natural. Something off about dat girl.”

“I hope you're not patrolling the island like we're under imminent threat of being invaded any day.” Ice says.

Brigette fixes her with a stare, the friendliness gone. “You be worrin' about your flyin and the air, white witch, you be leavin the ground to me an' mine. Me an my girls know what we're doin'. There be one on duty in the hangar now, an she be stayin there, I'm thinkin'.”

You laugh, shouldering your bag and following Ice off the dock, up towards the castle proper- noting you'll be going in through the hangar.

Wendy looks around, wide-eyed, at the striker racks, her gaze stopping on the rack occupying the formerly empty number seven spot in line, almost under your fighter's wing. “My strikers!” She cries, running over to them to run her hands along the metal.

“Those are yours?” Kenji asks, emerging from beneath your fighter, indicating with his eyes you should look up. You do so just in time to catch Merlin's flying hug- she must have practically jumped off the wing to hit you like that.

“Frank! Y-you're back!” She cries happily, hugging you.

Wendy nods as Merlin adjusts herself to ride on top of your shoulders. “Yes. What's wrong with them?”

Kenji sighs. “They're gutted.” He responds, simply. “They're just shells, really.”

“O-oh no....” Wendy whimpers, slumping down near them. “T-they must have-”

[x] “Can you fix them, Kenji?”

You frown, looking at the tears welling up in Wendy's eyes as she holds onto her gutted strikers for support. Girl is incredibly attached to her equipment, and you can't really fault her for it. After all, her rifle and her strikers were probably her only 'friends' of a sort, and this... well.

“Can you fix them, Kenji?” You ask, looking back at the striker tech. He frowns.

“Fix them?” He asks, shaking his head. “Probably not, it'd be like building a new pair from scratch.”

Wendy wails at this, sitting in front of the stand, tears flowing freely down her face. “T-they- they... “

His frown deepens. “I- Hmm.” He looks up at Merlin, then over at the striker shells hanging in their rack.

“They're ADV models, older ones, but...” He trails off, then looks back at you. “If her imperial highness gives us the time and you can give us the parts, perhaps we can do something.” He says, looking up at Merlin.

You feel her weight shift on your shoulders as she nods. “I-I think so too. They look long enough t-to house the same turbines we've got in the wyvern units b-but it would eat into our supply of spare parts for a while.”

“How long?” Ice asks.

Kenji shrugs. “A week? We'll need her on hand the entire time, too.”

Ice nods. “Ok, consider the order given. I'll talk to her Imperial highness myself if I need to.”

Kenji nods, turning around with a salute and yelling for his crew. Wendy, sniffling, looks at you, then Ice, wide-eyed. “W-what's he going to do?”

You shrug. “Kenji and Merlin here work miracles on a regular basis. If any can get them operational again, it's him.”

“A-and me.” Merlin says from your shoulders.

“And Merlin.” You amend. “Now c'mon, there's more to get done. Merlin, how's the jet?”

1/3

“Perfect.” She responds. “A-any more tinkering would just cause problems.”

“Excellent.” You respond, careful to duck a bit lower under the doors so Merlin clears them.

Wendy follows you, still sniffling, but that's probably just residual, you think.

You head upstairs, noting the castle seems kind of empty, and drop your bag in your room. Ice does the same, them motions for you to follow her to her office.

Once inside, Ice gathers up a stack of papers on the desk, giving them a cursory glance with a sigh, and motioning for you to close the door and sit.

“Ok, first thing's first.” She says. “Wendy, while they're fixing your strikers, you're going to be in a pair of tomcats. You ok with those?”

Wendy nods. “O-of course. I might need some refresher training.” She says.

“Fine, I'll work on it with Slider. Frank, next up is you.” Ice says, sliding a packet of papers across the desk at you. “The matrons have selected a group of first round aggressors they want you to fly against, your pick. Those are their files. Well, the pertinent parts, they didn't want to release anything else to you.”

>>long enough t-to house the same turbines we've got in the wyvern units
Yyyeeeeeessss......

“Your first hop is tomorrow, they want to do one morning and one afternoon sortie.” She says. “Possibly a nightfight or three later on.” Right now, though, they want to do one a day, which will give them plenty of time to poke and prod and look for residuals.”

The files are all stamped with their respective air forces and the witch's names, and each has a small photo and a couple sheets of information attached. One Italian air force, one German, Katya, and-

“Slider's an aggressor?” You ask.

Ice shrugs. “They originally wanted to use nothing but us the first week, kind of surprised they changed it. Maybe they watched us over France and changed their minds.”

You take the manilla folder stamped with the insignia of the Luftwaffe, opening it up to-

“Oh hell, really? They sent her?” You moan, looking at the picture of a witch nonchalantly popping bubblegum right at the instant the picture was taken. Kathrine Young.

“You know her?” Ice asks, reaching for the folder.

You nod. “Yeah, she was at Strana Mechty. They shuffled her off to Dunottar when we got back, they must have sent her home pretty quickly after that.”

She nods, handing the folder back to you. “Entirely possible.”

Kathrine Young, Hauptmann, Luftewaffe. Turns out she's the youngest daughter of Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke, a wartime ace and-

“Hey Ice. Says her her mom was-” You say, and Ice cuts you off.

“Commanding officer of the Five oh one. I know, Frank.” She says. “She's kind of a big deal.”

You shrug- historically the 501st was important for a lot of reasons, but you tended to study the Pacific theater more, having more personal connection to it.

>>31856511
can you copy paste it into a pastebin?

“She's a Nightwitch?” You ask. “They said she had a lot of mechanical talent when we were in Russia.”

“Her father was... interesting.” Ice says, struggling for the right word. “And she may have inherited that. Or part of it, anyway. She's already been noted for her ability to bring back strikers that have been shot up beyond all hope of flying, though that won't matter much here. She's actually very high up the list in terms of talent, there's a lot of people jealous of her and her sisters.”

“So why's she only a captain?” You ask. “Er, Hauptmann or whatever.”

“She's been busted in rank three times.” Ice responds. “Not sure why, the records on the events were sealed by order of the court martial that busted her. She's been grounded once, too.”

“Damn. That's almost impressive.” You say, flipping back through the notes.

Ice looks at you. “She's also like second or third overall scoring ace in NATO right now.” She says. “So she's got a better score than either you or me.”

YOUR RIGHT! WE MUST PAY HER BACK

>>31856877
We pay her back by not even considering her important enough to fly against.

>>31856902
A) Bombarding the IJA HQ should have led to a fucking civil war, aliums or not.

B) Yamamoto was a sperging retard that headed the faction of the Japanese Navy that wanted to get into war with the US. That fucker is largely responsible for Pearl Harbor.

C) The IJA most certainly did not want to get into a punchup with the US because so many of their assets were occupied in China, they weren't an obstacle to an alliance with the US like the document says they were, and in fact would have likely reluctantly supported it because of how thinly spread they were.

>>31857044

Weren't the Japanese Army a lot more conservative, and for that matter, basically rogue?

>>31857143

The Japanese Army was a crazy war crimes machine that deserved everything coming to this, that doesn't mean that they were so devoid of sense that they believed they could sustain a war with the US while they were fighting in China. The Japanese Navy is more or less responsible for Pearl Habor, and both organisations did their part to destroy the civilian government while assassinating officers of both sides.

>B) Yamamoto was a sperging retard that headed the faction of the Japanese Navy that wanted to get into war with the US. That fucker is largely responsible for Pearl Harbor.

Wasn't he the guy who was AGAINST going to war against the US because he knew how it would end?

[x] We both know that's just because we've been stuck in quiet areas. Alright, line it up, let's see how good she really is.

You snort. “We both know that's just because we've been stuck in quiet areas.” You say, closing the folder. “Alright, line it up, let's see how good she really is.”

Ice nods, taking the folder and putting the rest on a shelf. “These are all the aggressor witches, if you want read through them. We're probably going to have to do this every week, except for a few cases.”

“Awful lot of leeway.” You note, standing up- Merlin having long since relocated to a chair of her own.

Ice shrugs. “If we were training, yeah. But we're not, this is something else. Once your flight against her is done, you'll have to select from the remaining three, once they're all done, we'll repeat the process. You'll probably be flying against some witches two or three times.”

“Sounds easy enough.” You say. “Speaking of witches, where are they all?”

“We were in a briefing, actually.” Slider says, walking into the office like she owns the place, as usual.

She looks over at Wendy before looking at Ice. “How was the vacation?”

“Grandma left me a rifle.” Ice responds. “It'll take a chunk out of battleship armor that's about the size of your head.”

“She-” Slider pauses, then turns, slowly, to look at you. “Somehow,” She says, her voice low and dangerous. “Somehow I get the impression that relaxing wasn't at all what happened in London.”

The Japanese military basically ran the country at least partially because of a part of the Meiji constitution that required an Army and Navy minister in the cabinet. If either resigned, bam you need a new government! So, eventually, the civvies just gave up and basically let the military run shit. As for the IJA, they went "rogue" in Manchuria and arguably in '37 when the 2nd Sino-Jap war started, but although the government was OFFICIALLY against it, they basically accepted it as a fait accompli.

Because of this, the Army started getting mad resources to fight its war in China (and occasionally against the Red Army), and the navy got buttmad that they were losing money and prestige. Sailing to the rescue comes the faction that says "you know what...fuck the US...just...fuck em", which was (IIRC quite reluctantly) helmed by Yamamoto, as he was head of the Combined Fleet (the seagoing battle line, and therefore the power projection). The ORIGINAL plan was to have invaded the Philippines and let the USN battlewagons sail across the Pacific while getting whittled down by IJN night attacks and air attacks (this is why the IJN had such good torpedoes, torpedo delivery systems, and night attack doctrine). Then, the reduced USN battle line would've fought the IJN line somewhere around...the Marianas or something. Yamamoto said "fuck that I got carriers" and bombed Pearl Harbor.

Funnily enough, if the Japs had gone with their initial plan, the USN would've played right into their hands...

Hell no.

Why did you think I mentioned historical whitewashing? No, that's just post-war mythology. He planned it, executed it, and made sure it happened in the first place. The not crazy guy was his superior Nagano, who unfortunately was not able to reign in his crazy subordinate.

>>31857380

Yamamoto was completely supportive.

>"Nagano had eventually lost the debate, even though his basic reasoning was sound. Yamamoto had won on the basis of his personal reputation, and his willingness to use inelegant means to get his way. In the midst of the Pearl Harbor debate he had let it be known that he and the entire staff of Combined Fleet were prepared to resign if their views were not confirmed. Nagano, given the choice between acquiescing or confronting his wayward subordinate, had backed down."

"They made me a witch guardian."
"Wow. Uh, you know what that means right?"
"Yep, I don't have to wear pants and I'm allowed to have consorts. ....Matter of fact, tell all the girls, try outs are soon."

>>31857455
IIRC that quote was about the actual method for attacking the USN, wasn't it? I know that he had a lot of resistance from the gun club to his actual method of attack.

Admittedly my copy of Shattered Sword is like...300 miles away in coastal NC, so I have no way to validate this

Wait no, sorry, that wasn't the full quote.
"As war approached, Yamamoto laid the groundwork for what was in effect a coup against Imperial General Headquarters (IGHQ) over who was to set strategic direction for the fleet. In so doing, he sowed the seeds of future military defeat by destroying the checks and balances within the Navy's policymaking process.

Yamamoto had insisted in 1941 that if Japan chose to capture the resources of the south through war, that war also had to include the United States. Furthermore, he believed that the US Navy had to be dealt a crippling blow at the outset so as to buy time for Japan to carry out its operations in the southern campaign areas without opposition. In this view he was opposed by several senior members of of the Naval General Staff, including its head, Admiral Nagano Osami. Nagano was of the opinion that the United States would find it very difficult to go to war if Japan refrained from outright attack. He reasoned (correctly) that President Franklin D. Roosevelt would have a difficult time rallying sufficient support for a causus belli based only on Japanese attacks against British and Dutch colonial holdings, as American popular opinion was decidedly ambivalent about defending such interests.

"Nagano had eventually lost the debate, even though his basic reasoning was sound. Yamamoto had won on the basis of his personal reputation, and his willingness to use inelegant means to get his way. In the midst of the Pearl Harbor debate he had let it be known that he and the entire staff of Combined Fleet were prepared to resign if their views were not confirmed. Nagano, given the choice between acquiescing or confronting his wayward subordinate, had backed down."

I'm confused. What does she think happened?

I actually had to wade through the net to find the quote, there's actually an interesting analysis on Yamamoto I found with it.

>>31857546
Man what was it about interwar planners, that when looking at a United States whose population was mostly isolationist said, HEY LETS ENGAGE IN A PREEMTIVE RAID THAT WILL GIVE THE AMERICAN WARHAWKS ALL THEY NEED TO GET THE US TO GEAR UP AND RAPE OUR SHIT.

Given how Wendy is, she'll be a "witch squire" to Ice? Ice will at least have it easier if Wendy can help in some small but many ways.
