She snorts. “No one knows! That's the trouble. They're looking for something they don't even know. They're not establishing a baseline for what she can do naturally, and that just means they're wasting their time.”

You shrug. “Well, they are matrons, presumably they know what they're doing, right?”

“They're supposed to.” She says, nodding. “But in this case, I think they're doing it backwards. They should have Samantha talk to the fighter like she can do to get a read on what her residuals should look like to begin with, then go in after a fight and see what they look like.”

“I thought that seemed odd.” You admit, nodding thoughtfully. “What about Merlin?” You indicate your RIO, sitting up in her seat, occasionally twisting back to talk to the crew on the fighter's back. She's got some systems up, running off a standard APU cart nearby.

It's Ice's turn to shrug. “Systems work, I think. Something with getting your turbine there reinstalled and hooked in correctly. I never really realized how but engineering went into a steelwing...”

You nod. “Yeah, they're pretty amazing, huh?” You ask, thinking about it. Ten million parts, all working together to let you hurl yourself through the air and piss all over Newton's laws. Well, maybe with a little help from Merlin, you amend.

Ok, a lot of help from Merlin.

“Well, yes, but that's not what I meant.” She says. “One of our strikers, even the Wyverns, there's nowhere near as much to it as there is to your fighter. Just a magical jet and some focii, really. Our electronics are all separate units, and so are our weapons. It's really kind of amazing how a fighter is designed to be this whole system, and strikers are just part of one. I'd never thought about it like that before I helped out up there.”

You chuckle. “Getting a new feel for how we do things?”

She nods, which kind of surprises you. “It's so...different.” She says, after a minute. “I'm not even sure I've wrapped my head around it yet. You have to think so differently, maybe that's why you're able to do what you do?” She shakes her head.

“I'm not sure.” She says, after a half second. “It's just... I'm starting to think there's a lot more going on that you know about than what you're telling us.”

[x] “Ice, I'm being totally honest when I say I'm just as confused as you are.”

You shake your head with a bit of a frustrated sigh. “Ice, I'm not going to bullshit you. I'm just as confused as you are.”

“I thought you'd say that.” She says, sounding kind of depressed at the admission. “Most men like you don't know what they're doing, or how they're doing it. Every one of them says the same thing. They just... do. Do you know how frustrating that is?”

“I- well, kind of?” You respond, thinking of just about every time you've had to hold a conversation with a female at length. Like now.

“We study for years, we learn all these things about how magic is, how it can and can't act, and we all experence every single limitation we have. Sometimes painfully.” She says, rubbing her arm. “Magic drains us, sometimes you come back and feel like you could sleep forever.” She turns, and jams a finger into your chest.

“Then someone like you comes along where you don't even know what you're doing, you have no idea how to control it, and it's clearly killing you and- and we can't help. You know how that feels? We're watching our... we're watching your talent eat you alive and there's nothing we can do and you're telling us not to worry about it!”

You take an involuntary step back under the words, holding up your hands. “Woah, I-”

“And these bitches want to focus on Samantha like she's the one with the talent here!” She says.

[] “I know you didn't mean that the way it sounded, boss. Let's go get a drink or something, ok? You sound like you need to vent.”
[] “She is the one with talent, and you'd do well to remember it. We're done here.”

This looks good. add in that we clearly can't do whatever it is we're doing without her, as our jets tend to come apart with other witches in the backseat.

Apply hugs liberally to the affected witch. Maybe throw in a butt grope or two.

It's not the gnome powers that kills you. It's the G forces combined with the shrapnel in the lung.

>>32400737
It sounds more like she's meaning that Fronk is the one getting hurt because of what they don't understand, and that's making her worry. The first option is tacitly reprimanding her for saying that, but acknowledging that there's a bigger elephant in the room that she needs to work out first.

[x] “I know you didn't mean that the way it sounded, boss. Let's go get a drink or something, ok? You sound like you need to vent.”

You've got too much self control to let the anger you feel at that statement come to the fore, especially because you know it wasn't meant the way it sounded. She's worried and she's letting it color her views of the matron's efforts- honestly, you think they're trying to establish what they know before they start in with things they don't understand. At least, that's what you think they're trying to do, you're not sure enough.

“Listen, Ice, I know you didn't mean that the way it sounded. Let's go get a drink or something, ok? You sound like you need to vent.” You offer.

She pauses, then nods. “You're right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that at all. And you're right. I'm not sure the club is open yet though.”

“Let's go see anyway.” You say, leading the way out of the hangar and out onto the tarmac.

The base club- seems like every airbase everywhere has one- is an all hours affair, and you're able to procure a pair of glasses of ice water without too much trouble, though you struggle for a bit to order.

You carry them over to the corner booth where Ice is sitting, and she nods her thanks, taking a sip. “Thanks Frank.” She says. “I needed that.”

“So what's eating you?” You say, after a second. “Besides the obvious, I mean.”

1/3

She shakes her head. “The matrons and I disagree on what the focus of their efforts should be.” She says, bitterness evident in her voice. “I think they should be focusing on you, but they disagree, and want to focus on Samantha first. Everything else aside, she's not the one killing herself up there.”

“Didn't you say she was hurt after Berlin?” You ask, cringing internally at the concept. If she was, it was your fault.

“Not really.” Ice responds. “She was out of it, sure, but not anymore than any other witch would have been after something like that. But you were in a coma for-” She shakes her head again. “We know flaws can exist in a witch, like with Georgette Le- er, Mackintosh.”

You rub your side. “Didn't seem so flawed to me.” You point out, calling attention to when she'd healed you from the near-dead.

Ice shakes her head. “You didn't watch her, though. Using her talent kicks her metabolism into overdrive like you wouldn't believe. You ever wonder why she cooks so much? When she uses her talent, she'll eat it all.”

You nod, though you didn't know that. “And you think I've got something similar?”

Ice shrugs. “Maybe? Male talent is strange to us. It's all... “ She pauses, struggling for a word. “Well, it's all talent. Our magic is part what we're born with, part what we learn at the academy, and part practical learning, out here in the world. For you,” She indicates you directly, “It's all instinctual. That's why it's so hard to figure it out- it's usually much less visible.”

2/3

“But I'm an exception?” You ask.

She fixes you with a blank stare. “You show me one other pilot on earth that can drop his fighter near vertically in a controlled stall, then freeze it in the air to get a gunshot on a witch. Show me one other pilot on earth that can make complete fools of sixty other air superiority steelwings and get shots in on a dreadnaught throwing everything it has his way.”

“Point.” You respond, chuckling. “So what do you think?”

She shakes her head again, balling her fist on the table. “I don't Know!” She says, frustrate. “I think maybe your talent is flawed, but somehow it's worse. There's theories out there that say magic is somehow linked to life. They're mostly garbage, but maybe in this case there's something to it.”

You frown. “So the more I do it, the more it's going to take?”

She shakes her head. “I don't think so, because you've always recovered. I think it's got more to do with how hard you're pushing. How hard did you try against Young? When you really tried, I mean?”

I'm not citing Tanana because we really don't know how it would have affected Frank post-battle because he ended up with a chest full of shrapnel. And since we acknowledge that we probably spent less over Tanana than we did over Berlin, both statements are correct.

>>32401648
>[x] Well, it was no Berlin, but she wasn't that easy to handle.

I want to say Tanana but Tanana itself was different, unrefined if you will.

>>32402132
But the lower mark is more useful.
If Berlin was 80 and Tanana was 60, and we only used 45 to beat Young, though it is true that 45 is less than 80 and 60, 60 is the better figure to use since its closer to the actual figure.

>>32402241
Enumerating usage of gnome magi-talent like that is a bit useless when, as >>32402186
pointed out, we've refined our use of the ability with every major engagement. Tanana, compared to Berlin and the Young fight, was sloppy. True, we may have used 60% of our total Gnome potential at both Tanana and the Young fight, but the whole seems to have grown- otherwise, we would probably have been dead several times over. Signs point to Frank's gnomehood evolving and growing as we move through the quest. Direct comparison to Tanana now may not be useful at all, beyond saying that Frank has definitely gotten better with his freaky deaky male magic Saiyan shenanigans.

[x] Well, it was no Berlin, but she wasn't that easy to handle.

You frown, having not thought about it before. You don't really think about it, usually, you just do it- like Ice said, it's instinctual, not conscious. “Well, it was no Berlin, but she wasn't that easy to handle.” You say, still frowning, trying to put it into words that make sense. “Maybe about as hard as I was over Tanana, maybe a bit more? It's hard for me to say, really.”

Ice pauses at the mention of Tanana, but nods. “So, not the hardest you've ever tried, but you did have to try?”

You nod with a shrug. “I guess so? She's one of the best I've run into, but she's still not on par with dreadnaughts and a cloud of fighters.”

Ice nods. “That make sense. You looked rough after the flight against Young, but you looked...”

She pauses, then shakes her head. “You looked dead after Berlin. You stopped breathing a couple times, you know that?”

“I had no idea.” You respond, and she nods, her eyes staring somewhere beyond your table.

“We thought you weren't going to make it for a few hours.” She says, simply, then shakes her head again, as if to clear it. “That's why I think there's something to the theory that whatever your talent is, it's flawed. The harder you push, the harder it tries to kill you.”

“But that would mean that there's nothing we can do about it.” You say. “Right?”

She nods, then pauses, chewing on her lower lip. “Yes. Well, kind of.”

You quirk an eyebrow. “Define kind of.”

“I- well.” She says, a blush growing on her cheeks. “T-there's a thing. That witches can do for the people they have a connection with a-and-”

“A thing?” You prompt.

Ice nods, looking down and stirring her water with a finger. “Yes. A thing. I'm not even sure it would help, b-but... we can always ask Slider to try it i-if we think we need to.”

With a quiet whimper, she eased her hand into his. Taking it, Frank gave her hand a gentle squeeze and she sighed in contentedness, laying her head upon his shoulder. The sunset was especially beautiful over the Atlantic.

"You know, Frank," she admitted quietly, and she honestly couldn't think of a better moment, "I love you."

She felt, rather than saw, his smile. "I know, doll, I know." There was nowhere else she'd rather be than with her man, sitting here on the edge of the battlements of Barin, watching the sunset.

[x] “Maybe we should talk about what this thing is?”

“Maybe we should talk about what this thing is?” You say, taking a drink of your water.

“It's... well, it's kind of intimate, a-and....” Ice starts, causing you to choke on your water.

“It's what?” You ask, surprised.

“Not like that!” She says, shaking her head. “Not like that at all! I-it's just a trick, really. You loan some of your power to another person, nothing lewd.”

“Sounds like it could be.” You observe.

She about chokes. “M-maybe, but I don't mean it like that! I-I was just thinking you have a connection with Rachel and she could do it, she would if we asked!”

“So why her?” You ask. “I mean, Merlin's practically family, an- I'm going to guess by the look on your face that the connection you're talking about is lewd.”

Ice nods.

“Figures.” You respond, then look at her. “So you think Slider has a thing for me? I always figured she was just joking around.”

Ice buries her face in her hands. “C-can we not go into that?” She asks. “I don't want to say anything I shouldn't.”

You consider pressing her on the issue, but decide to let it go- you can always ask Slider later anyway.

Wait. Are you saying that, in theory, if someone was willing and able to do so, they could pick up SWQ from where Planefag left off and start working to give it a proper ending?

Any further questions you may have had are aborted when you head the door open and Merlin and Rosalie walk in, looking around. Seeing you, they walk over, both of them already in flight gear.

“Hi Frank!” Merlin beams. “W-we're ready to go! I got the weather and f-flightplan loaded on the jet already a-and Kenji and the crew are loading up the equipment.”

You nod, moving to stand up. “You hear that, boss?”

She nods, weakly, still hiding her face. “Yeah. I'll head over with Rosalie, we'll leave last. I want to thank the base commander for letting us stay here.”

You nod. “Sounds fine to me. I've gotta hit the shop anyway.”

Merlin walks alongside, her vest rattling around- despite being custom sized to her, it's still a hair big, and she's had to have the straps modified to cinch down tight enough.

“How's weather look?” You ask, looking up at the clear Mediterranean sky.

>>32405157

“C-clear almost all the w-way up.” She answers. “S-some overcast over the channel and the c-castle though.”

“No shock there.” You say, looking over at the tarmac, where an aircraft tug is positioning the wyvern near the pair of RAF hawk trainers- you're surprised they haven't left yet. As you watch, the Hawk pilots- and their passengers, a pair of matrons, head out to the flight line, the matrons mounting the light trainers while the pilots do a walkaround.

Katya and Slider glide by as you walk in the hangar, their greetings lost in the high-pitched whine of their strikers jets. Still, you wave to them and Katya waves back, Slider instead nodding towards you.

“I-I'll wait here.” Merlin says as you hit the small locker room in the hangar- the lockers all hang open, the room usually unused. Your gear sits laid out lovingly along the wooden bench, your helmet resting next to your vest.

“Hello my love. I have laid out your equipment, but tell me, do you really need so many things? What do they all do?” Konstantina says from the corner- how you missed her earlier is anyone's guess. Then again, she's damned good at hiding when she wants to.

[x] “It's harder being a pilot than you think, I need all this to do my job.”

“It's harder being a pilot than you think, I need all of this to do my job.” You say, unbuttoning your shirt- you've got a standard issue brown undershirt on under it, but Konstantina still blushes and looks away. “Think of it like my knight's armor.”

“My love is a knight of the people, then.” She says, sounding like she's making a proclamation. “Is it safe to look? I- I do not wish to be improper.”

You zip up your flight suit, nodding. “Yeah.”

She turns back, moving over to take your BDUs and fold them. “What is all of that?” She asks, as you shrug on the G-suit and the rescue vest over it.

“The bottom one is a G suit.” You say, lightly tapping it with your knuckles. “It helps keep the blood up in my head and down out of my legs in high G turns. The vest is a rescue vest, in case I get shot down.”

“My love is too modest.” She responds. “Surely you do not need that, darling? No one alive can match you!”

“Better to be safe than sorry.” You say, zipping the vest up and reaching for your helmet and your gloves.

She wrinkles her nose at the sight of your gloves- you've never gotten another pair and you don't plan to any time soon. “Why does my beloved wear such filthy things? The soviet people would never allow a hero to be so poorly treated!”

You laugh and shake your head. “I chose to. They're good luck.”

Next time bring Brigette to the beach with us.

“Good....luck?” She says, sounding confused. “My love surely does not believe in such strange things.”

You shrug. “Can't hurt, right? Besides, they're comfy.”

She tilts her head to the side. “My darling is strange.” She says. “But it does not matter. I cannot wait for our turn to fly against each other again.”

You nod. “Should be interesting.”

She smiles. “I promise I will be much more of a challenge than these other loose women!” She says, loudly. “But I must leave. I promised the matron-general I would not dawdle and I fear she will revoke privileges if I do. I will greet you at barin, my love!”

And with that, she leaves, letting you finish getting geared up in relative peace.

“Ready to g-go?” Merlin asks as you step out- a redundant question, but you nod all the same.

Your Wyvern now stands almost alone, the next nearest aircraft being a USAF C-130 nearby, it's tail ramp down. Brigette stands nearby your fighter, her rifle slung and a tank witch's cannon strapped to her back.

“Ah, baron. I be tinkin it about time you be ready to go.” She says, nodding. “Me girls an me, we be loaded up 'waitin.”

[] “Sorry bout the wait then, maman Brigette.”
[] “You know that Konstantina was in the locker room, yeah?”
