Once you've broken into the Mediterranean, you can expect help from the flight deck of the USS Forestall, along with considerable support from her battle group. It also offers you a place to land if you're badly shot up, though you'd prefer to not have to, if you can avoid it.

Your destination is Chania airport, on the north side of Crete. The Greek government, a NATO ally, has allowed use of the place, and there's support on the ground there. Your alternate is farther away- and in a different direction, at King Khalid military city in Saudi. While it's still in range, you'll lose support over the med, and have to deal with potential Iraqi fighters as well. The only advantage is that the city is swarming with American troops, with units being sent there to help stem Saddam's aggression against Saudi Arabia.

“That's it.” Nixon says, finally. “You'll go wheels up at oh-three to make the rendezvous, which works out because that's the usual time the CAP launches for the early morning hours. Anybody watching is just going to think that's what you're doing. I want your loadsheets and flight plan in two hours, so you'll have to get to work. That it? Any questions?”

No one has any, and he nods.

“Good. Get me that stupid paperwork, kids.” he says, as a way of dismissing you.

The four of you, now joined by Ice, make your way back to the offices, where Merlin puts a pot of coffee on and you spread out a map on the table, marking your intercept point and take off, while the twins stick markers on your pancake and alternate.

“So how do we want to load?” Alyssa asks, breaking the silence. “Long range stuff might be the best idea, we want to keep them far away from the jumbo.”

2/3

You nod. “Yeah, but we can't pack as many in.” You say. “So if they send up as much as the admiral is thinking, we're going to have problems.”

“Yeah, and if there's witches, we're going to need lots of agiles.” Clarissa says. “Figure three or four per.”

“Well, there's another option, too.” Ice says, and you all turn to look at her. “They've got a pair of test pods for witches. It's pretty simple stuff, uncomfortable as hell, but it means you could let one of us ride in your center line bay.”

“How?” You ask. “That thing's narrow as hell. How can you fit strikers in it?”

“With the wings folded, Merlin's superstrikers clear the sides by a quarter of an inch.” She responds. “You just have to be high enough up so that they can deploy correctly. It's fewer missiles, but it means there'd be four of us up there, not just you two steelwings.”

How many missiles are we losing in the exchange? It's a numbers fight and while bringing long range missiles will help, two witches will be more aid to us this time. Best night of the week Never-ending snow edition!

There is benefits and risks.

Aren't witches capable of shooting missiles? Why not have them cover the airliner while Fronk and the Twins run interference?

Even if we DO jam a witch in our pods, wouldn't she be really stretched on range?

Well we need witches that can last the trip.

Katya and Wendy come to mind when it comes to this.

Though Ice and Slider have the Super strikers so they may last the trip with them.

psycomoto and Perrine spawn, I'm so sure of.

if endurance is the biggest problem we should make sure to bring Katya she has the best endurance.

>>37663717>>37663093

Merlin's strikers have missile bays right? It's been a while since we've used em so I forgot. But if that's the case, Katya at least can handle the distance, and maybe Wendy? The stricker's missiles could make up for carrying them. Witch vs witch and we can carry the long range engagement.

>>37663815
Yes as its been discussed already but the problem is we're losing long range missiles in the trade for the Witch pod and I don't think the super strikers can carry long range shit.

>>37663860
>I don't think the super strikers can carry long range shit.
The very first missile we saw being used by the Super Strikers' hammerspace bay was an AMRAAM, which is the longest range missile you're going to get on a fighter that isn't a Phoenix anyway.

>>37663900
We have upgrade Phoenix's or whatever the hell their called, AIM-152?

>>37663931
We carry a lot less if we take the witchpod

>>37663942
Yes that point has been made several times.

>>37663900
But their missiles won't benefit from Merlin's aimbot missile hax, and they can only carry a couple to a half-dozen, compared to the couple dozen or so we can carry.

You think about it for a second, then nod. “Yeah, that'd work. Who were you thinking?”

“Myself and Slider.” She says, without hesitation. “We're both acclimated to the superstrikers, the rest of them still aren't.”

“That won't matter for Wendy.” Alyssa points out. “She'll be fine no matter what we swap her to.”

Ice nods. “Yeah, but Slider and I have also flown together longer.” She says. “And Wendy doesn't have that many carrier landings, so she'd have to push all the way to Crete.”

“What about Katya?” You ask.

Ice shakes her head. “She doesn't have the time with the superstrikers yet, so she's going to be a lot less effective. Have you seen her with a new set of strikers?”

You shake your head.

“Ok, well. She's a drunk Russian.” Ice supplies.

“Drunk- is that even possible?”

“She tried to make out with me.” Ice says, drily.

“You should have let her.” Alyssa hoots.

“Yeah, man, that would have been hot!” Clarissa adds.

“Not right now.” You say, cutting the twins off before they can really get started. Alyssa sticks her tongue out at you.

“Spoilsport.”

“You can't blame him, though.” Clarissa says. “I mean, wanting to keep all dat to himself. I would too.”

“Anyway.” Ice says, a trifle more loudly than needed. “You could swap Wendy in for either of us, I guess, if you wanted, but Keep in mind Slider and I have been flying together a long time, and she's not carrier rated.”

[] Yeah, but she fights like a screaming banshee. We'll bring her instead of (Slider or Ice, pick one)

As for the load out Agiles on 1 and 5, AMRAAMs on 2 and 4. What about fuel, are we tanking between here and there? Also what about the whole hammerspace bay?
>>37664267
Short answer, Agiles are short range and witch killers, while AMRAAMs are medium range.

>>37664267
AIM-9L is the standard sidewinder
95X kills witches
7M is the SAAM (point, stay pointed, shoot)
120C has medium range, good tracking
64 is an evolved 54 long range missile
152 is the ALRAAM to the 120's AMRAAM

You shake your head. “No, You and slider sound fine.” You say, holding up a warning finger at the twins. “We'll load AMRAAMS in the dorsal bays, and take agiles in the nacelle bays, that should work out ok. Can we double it?”

Merlin nods. “W-well, kind of. We have four sets f-for the small bays.” She says. “S-so we can double all of the missiles w-we're carrying, or we can let the t-twins carry a pair and double up some of theirs.”

“Alright, that's fine, how about fuel?” You ask, planning to sort that out later.

“We'll be ok on internal tanks for crete provided we don't have to use the blowers too much.” Clarissa says. “I just did the math. We'll be light, but we'll be fine.”

“As long as we can make the med, we can always tank off of them.” Alyssa points out. “I'm sure they'll send up an intruder or something if we need one. They might even launch to help us out over Turkey, but that'll just be their fighters, maybe a witch or two.”

Clarissa nods. “Yeah, Mar's down there, I'm sure she'll love to come see us and rub in our faces how she had to bail us out.”

“Mar's just jealous she's not here.” Alyssa says. “Good thing for Frank, too.”

“H-how do we want to divide the holding equipment?” Merlin asks, keeping the subject on the mission. “A-and who is riding with who?”

[x] Double AMRAAMS, both you and the twins will carry a set.
[x] Ice rides with us

“Ok, we'll both double AMRAAMS” You say to Alyssa, who nods. “You guys can lift Slider, we'll take Ice.”

“Now when you say take....” Alyssa grins. You throw a pen at her, though she dodges it, laughing.

“Alright, that's it. Give me those load plans and the other bullshit, I'll run it up to the Admiral.” You say. “Try and get some sleep, even if it's just a couple hours, ok?”

“Won't be easy.” Clarissa says.

“I know. Try anyway.” You respond, checking your watch. “It's eighteen twenty now, so that's like, six hours or so if we have lights at oh-one.”

“Maybe we'll just snuggle with Joe some...”

“Don't tell me about it.” You say, still distracted. “Ice, since you're coming with, are you gonna bump me from mission lead?”

She shakes her head. “This is your show, Frank.” She responds. “I'll let Slider know what she's doing then-”

“Fine. Then go get some sleep.” You say. She nods again.

“Right. See you all in the chow line.” You say, grabbing the papers and ushering everyone out of the office. Merlin follows them out.

“I-I'll head back and go to bed.” She says. “B-but don't take too long or I'll send K-kimiko after you. You need s-sleep too Frank.”

“I know kiddo. I'll be done in a minute, promise.” You respond, and she nods once, satisfied.

Nixon is up in Ice's office, chatting with some of the staffers. He nods when you walk in, seeing the folder in your hand. “that all your paperwork, son?” He asks.

You nod. “Yessir, myself, the twins, and both witches.”

He looks at you for a second, then nods. “The travel pods, huh?”

You nod.

“Well, can't say it's what I'd have gone with, but it's some extra people up there.”

“And,” you point out. “They're going to be a lot more effective at actually defending the airliner, it's a lot easier for them to counter missiles.”

“True, true. Well, good thinking son. What's your plan now?”

Excellent word-choice.

>>37667208
>We need rest before the flight, not lewds.

Certainly, although anyone who knows about our mission that cares about us might be tempted to give us a bit of...encouragement...to come back.

We have, after all, been given good luck tokens before. If word gets around about the mission, maybe there might be an additional token given?

Which reminds me, we still have the original ones, right? We really should make a point of showing three certain someones that we still have them, and will be carrying them for good luck.

>>37667482
>Which reminds me, we still have the original ones, right? We really should make a point of showing three certain someones that we still have them, and will be carrying them for good luck.
We do still have them, and yes we should seek new tokens from our fair maidens

>>37667482
Favors are fine but lewds take time, time which we should be sleeping before the mission. Yes we still have the favors.

>>37667482
Stick 'em on a lanyard round our neck.

>>37667696
Nah, they go around Ice's neck.

We should probably get her a collar sometime.

>>37666917
>[] Going to do one last look-around down in the hangar, then probably rack out.

>>37667696
Stick them on our dick

>>37667907
>We should probably get her a collar sometime.

Along that line of thinking, it might be nice for us to return the favor for all the girls who gave us a token and give them each one in return.

They all are, after all, pilots as well. We don't want anything bad to happen to them either.

Makes me wonder what would be appropriate for us to give each one of them if we did go that route.

>>37668148
Ice gets a bit of chain that we have lying around for some reason.

Slider gets an old T-shirt.

Katya gets...an old patch or something.

>>37668148
We gave them nice stockings.

Which we have not seen them use

>>37668197
>Katya gets...an old patch or something.
she can get that lingerie that we left in Alaska, that is still following us around

>>37668148
we gave katya a chess set, slider another bear for gunny bear, i dont think we got ice anything personal unlike the other 2

>>37668220

I second this proposal

>>37668220
Merlin's already claimed it.

>>37668233
Well technically the lingerie was suppose to be for Ice but a collar is a much better idea.

>>37668278
ya it does; i wasn't against the idea i just want to let other know she was the only one who didn't get a personal gift.

>>37668278
how about we cut the lingerie up into 3 bits, and make something for each of them with it?

>>37668148
Collar for Ice.

Lingerie for Katya to wear in public

Good booze for Slider

Our dick for Mav, because she's best girl.

>>37668233
We already gave Katya a pretty nice chess set.

Slider, I motion the bear, maybe make it look more girlish. Bows and shit.

Ice got some book (at the time, she was a hard person to buy for) but we can give her more of those cheap romance novels.

>>37668202

That's different, we got everyone that as a gift.

Tokens for luck are what I'm talking about, the same way we were given three tokens much earlier in the quest. Something a little more personal, meant as a good luck charm.

Like how damsels would give their knight a hankerchief or piece of cloth as a symbol of their favor. While we are no damsel, I think it would mean a lot, especially for Ice and Slider, since this is a rather dicey mission that even Nixon doesn't think we can pull off.

>>37668347
i dont count the books sinc we were kinda "meh" about it.

>>37668353
How about some of ourself for them to keep inside them?

>>37668383
you are a classy mother fucker Anon.

>>37668353
>since this is a rather dicey mission that even Nixon doesn't think we can pull off.
It's more of that protecting the airliner is going to be a pain in the ass, not our survival.

>>37668382
Well we tried to give sexy underwear to Ice at the time but we kind of dropped the ball on that.

>>37668434
ya we did.

>>37668383
Too tiring/time consuming.
Some of our personal effect, perhaps?
Tie for Iceboss (its formal and can be used for.... something more kinky)
Gloves for Katya and handkerchief for Slider?

>>37668347

nah. ice deserves a nice gun.

a nice gun for the gun nut.

like a SAA

>>37668345
>Our dick for Mav, because she's best girl.

She had her chance with us, she moved on to someone else.

We've moved on/up, she'll have to settle for best bro now.

>>37668353

Do we have any the shards o' tomcat left lying around from one of our several rounds of surgery?

>>37668473
Obviously, we have one of the witches not on the mission fill us back up afterwards.

Healwitches are very useful for some kinky things.

>>37668473
>Gloves for Katya
No our gloves are a good luck charm and our gnoming charm.

>>37668432
>It's more of that protecting the airliner is going to be a pain in the ass, not our survival.

True, but while the airliner is the priority target, don't get too arrogant about our survival.

You do know they're gonna shoot as us too, right? I somehow doubt they are gonna leave the two fighters and two witches alone that are flinging all sorts of explodey shit at them.

>>37668523

Also, if they shoot us, they can possibly recapture the airliner.

That doesn't seem to be a priority, but somebody will think of this.

>>37668523
Of course their going to shoot at us and we'll shoot at them. I see this as sort of like us stealing the Vampire but this time we can actual fight and we have three friends from the start.

>>37668490

Huh, that's a thought. Wonder if we can get a few bits of those shards made into some sort of wearable charm or something?

Kinda like one of those St. Christopher medals?

[x] Going to do one last look-around down in the hangar, then probably rack out.

“I'm going to go do one last look around down in the hangar,” You say, as Nixon nods, “Then probably rack out.”

“Good plan, son.” He says. “Don't fiddle too long down there, we need you to be squared away on this one. These folks could have a lot of answers for questions we're running into.”

You nod, not responding.

“Alright, son. Go take care of your things, then get yourself to bed. We both know how hard sleep can be, but we both know you're going to want it.” He says, dismissing you.

You walk down to the squadron's hangar, noting that the twin's jet is all closed up, and now sits next to yours on the pavement, ready to go. Ordinance techs are already swinging open the bays and driving their crane and cherry-picker over, ready to load the dorsal stations. A rack of AMRAAMs sits nearby, towed in from the ammo dump.

Your ground crew is there, though the chief is nowhere to be found. Several striker racks- the newer ones- stand empty, their witches up familiarizing themselves with the new superstrikers and their systems.

You're only there a minute when they start returning, however- Goose is in first, looking quite sick, but happy all the same. She waves at you, and you return it, watching Mav and Rosalie follow her in. They're trailed by a slightly weaving Katya.

Mav and Rosalie set down about the same time, Goose just after, as Katya weaves her way toward her rack slowly, helped by a pair of ground crew. Rosalie looks pale, and Goose has to be helped out of her strikers, with Mav giving her a piggyback ride down the ladder and across the floor to you.

1/2

“How are they?” You ask her. She shrugs.

“They fly nice, turning is amazing, draw isn't too bad.” She says. Rosalie nods, sitting on the edge of her striker rack.

“Oui. Merlin, she designed these well, non?” She says, her voice weak. You quirk an eyebrow at her as Katya slots her strikers in and shuts them down. “You ok?”

She nods. “Oui. Every girl is different, non? I will be tired and sore for a while, it is nothing new.”

You look over at Katya, who's being helped out of her strikers by the ground crew. “How about you?”

She looks at you quizzically, then spits a stream of slurred russian at you and pitches forward, falling face-first off the rack.

“Shit!” You yell, leaping towards her, trying to get between her and the smooth concrete floor of the hangar. You manage, just barely, to pull it off, catching her just under her arms.

She giggles. “Vsegda tam dlya menya” it sounds like she slurs at you, before suddenly finding her feet and grabbing both sides of your head, planting her lips on yours and trying to suck your tonsils out.

Mav does a damn good wolf howl, you think. The bitch.

She finally lets go with another, very un-Katya-like giggle and slumps against you, her breathing deep and even against your chest. She's gone as limp as a sack, having apparently passed out.

You pull her up into a carry and catch Rosalie grinning. “Every girl is different.” She repeats with a grin. “But I am somewhat glad I am not her. I have unbearable hangovers, non?” She laughs, the sound still weak.

“So, you just want to carry her back?” Mav says.

[] Might as well, I promised I wouldn't be here too long.
[] Nah, I'll get someone to cart her back, I have some other things I want to check here.

>>37668722
>[] Might as well, I promised I wouldn't be here too long.

>[] Nah, I'll get someone to cart her back, I have some other things I want to check here.

>>37668722

If we get someone else to do it, Mav will just drop her off in our bed while we're sleeping.

[x] Might as well, I promised I wouldn't be here too long.

You nod, adjusting the lightly snoring load in your arms and starting for the doors. “Yeah, might as well.” you say. “I promised I wouldn't be her too long.”

“So, you think she'd have done that if you weren't there?” Mav says, looking back over her shoulder as Rosalie, probably wisely, gets a ride back to the house.

You shrug as best you can. “Hard to tell.” you say. “She's pretty out of it, though.”

Mav nods. “Yeah, and into you. Looked like she about stuck her tongue down your throat!”

“Close.” You say. “Girl is a hell of a kisser, I'll give her that.”

“I'm tellin ya, man. GO for all three. You can swing it.” Mav says.

“What if I don't want all three?” You ask. She snorts.

“I'd call bullshit.” She says. “Who else would you chase after?”

“Maybe no one in the squadron.” You say. “Maybe I just want a normal life with a normal family after all this?”

“As if that's gonna happen.” Mav responds. “Please. Besides, if you just want one, there's always like, Wendy, or something.”

“That's the second times she's come up. There's no way.”

“Oh please. That girl would be happy beyond reason to stay with you or Ice the rest of her life, and you both know it. The sex is just a bonus.” She says. “Besides, I don't think she's ever going to break out of that mindset the RAF hammered into that brain of hers, so better to make sure she's treated right, right?”

“Are you trying to set me up with every girl here?” You ask, only partly joking.

“I'm just looking out for my brother from another mother, is all.” She laughs. “The one girl that's an exception to all of it is that Sakamoto chick.”

“How so?” You ask- knowing full well it's gonna deal with her craziness.

1/2

She shrugs. “Girl don't seem right, Frank. Unbalanced. Treats Merlin like she's the queen of wherever just because she's dating Kenji. Shit, I bet she'd marry you in a heartbeat if she thought it meant Merlin and Kenji would be happier or something.”

“I'm sure Merlin would be, anyway.” you say.

She shrugs. “Ya know, might not be too bad a deal. Move back to the land of the rising sun, your sister's pretty tight with the princess, ain't she?”

“that's one way of putting it.” you say.

“Oh grow up. Witches have been doing that shit forever.” She responds.

“It's not that!” You say- it's not. “But she's my little sister! Man, how would you feel if Goose hooked up with some girl like Katsumi?”

“What's that supposed to mean?” Mav asks. “Older? Politically stacked? Physically stacked? Rich? What, you think she's taking advantage of Jess?”

You mumble a response.

“I didn't think so.” She says. “So don't worry about it so much. And anyway, you could move back to Japan with Katsumi, have a nice easy life from there on in.”

“I Don't want to stop flying!”

Katya stirs in your arms. And Mav grunts. “Fine. But think about what I mean, ya know?”

You nod, knowing she's not going to let it go otherwise.

“Good.” She says as you reach the house and she opens the door. “Now you take her out to the couch, we'll handle her, and you get your ass to bed.”

You nod, laying Katya out on the couch and straitening up, heading upstairs. You spare one look back over your shoulder at the slumbering witch.

Hell of a kiss, that was.

No Saturday thread this week, I have some plans with friends, god only knows how long I'll be out.

I said I'd do a Q&A this thread, so any questions you want answered, ask! There are some, I'm sure, that I won't answer, but odds are as long as it's not important for later (Or isn't something you shouldn't be trying to find out in quest) we should be ok.

But I'll close out the thread as usual by saying we'll be back at the regular time next week, and until then, Cheers!

We picked our missile loadout and made out with a Witch. That's actually quite a lot.

>>37670397

Wanted to save some space for questions, plus Wanted to dedicate a whole thread (or more) to the flight.

>>37670411
The thread needs to be archived, by the way.

Mav is a true bro.

So a thought that occurred to me. early on in the quest we saw senator Inouye. Did he still loose his arm in a suitably badass manner as in real life?

>>37670411
Thanks for today Ghost!

Why Mav is such a bro?

So Ghost, while we at it, what about SE Asia in this verse? Is Vietnam just play it cool?

>>37670461
fuck ya she is.

we are most certainly going for all three.

>>37670411
Is Mav your mouthpiece for relationships and cybernetic implants?

>get back just in time to see Ghost close out the thread.
Damnit

Why you moving, Ghost?

>>37670500
Well you kinda have to or else the quest will burn down apparently.

>>37670411
So how is Natalya taking to Janice's teaching in housekeeping, I was wondering why Kostantina didn't take them if it meant 'For my beloved!'

What else was Katya mumbling when she was getting off her strikers, or during the process of drunken escapades?

>>37670461
Mav is a true bro.

Though does that mean Wendy will be part of Ice and Frank's harem?

>>37670534
Wendy is best on her own. She doesn't need an Ice.

>>37670367
>Merlin mentions that Psychomoto marrying Fronk would mean that she'd be legally related
>Fronk already has the three
>5-some ensues

>>37670527
oh fuck ya it would but their would be a few who return because they have been around since the beginning.

>>37670463

While the 442nd didn't exist for quite the same reasons as it did IRL, yes, he was pretty badass in setting, too.

>>37670504
No comment on Mav.

>>37670472
Pretty much. the whole SEA area is a lot more quiet in setting than IRL.

Think of Vietnam in setting as wanting to make money and be left to manage their own affairs, basically. They have spats with their neighbors over islands in the south china sea, of course, but they want no part of the current conflict if they can avoid it

>>37670534

Katya- well, if you want to know, maybe you should ask her? hahahaha.

Natalya is taking the letter of of what Janice says to do well. The spirit, she's still working on.

>>37670593
I'd hope so, leaving cause your favorite girl didn't win would be pretty pathetic.

>>37670562
I think she's attached to Spellcaster like some sort of abandoned puppy (which might not be too far from the case)

Though she seems to be attached to Frank and Ice the most since they managed to get her here. Though the Sharks may be a close second.

>>37670640
and Konstatina? You would think she would have decided to take Janice's lessons too?

What did the Sharks do to Wendy while we were gone and basically left her after she called Frank, Sir Bishop.

Are they all wearing the stockings? Their reactions?

>>37670640
Is the 'Married to the Sky' ending possible? Also how likely is Merlin to snap at this point? She seems pretty stable.

>>37670640
So did she kiss Ice because of what happened in 'Drunk Ice' and thought it was Frank, or was it because she likes ice?

Also would she had done the same to anyone in the nearby area if Frank wasn't there?

>>37670411
Good run as always Ghost!

Can you say much about post-Martian War world in regards to how everything settled? i.e. the Poland split, the opening stages of the Cold War, the Korean War or I guess the lack there of since Japan still controls it

Also how long did you originally plan to run Strikers? I'll be honest, as someone who was there for thread one I'm surprised how long it's gone on for. Not that I'm complaining, I've enjoy nearly every moment and don't regret participating for a second and I'll be here till the end.

>>37670765
>end

You're here forever

So what's the deal with Stalin, exactly? How much is known about him? Does his continued survival mean that the Krushev thaw didn't happen?

How did the Witches manage the whole revolution and subsequent restructurings? Does the state have much control over them? How did they manage to wrangle the state academies?

>>37670808
But anon, we all are.

>>37670765
>inb4 Operation Unthinkable would have been arming the surrendered armies of Mars on Earth and throwing them into the meatgrinder against the Soviet Union

rape of poland never 4get kurwa ;_;7

>>37670534
Katya said

Вcегда там для меня

Which translates to "Always there for me."

Sounds like she's warming back up.

>>37670640

>Katya- well, if you want to know, maybe you should ask her? hahahaha.


So she spouts something Konstantina will say?

Maybe something Ice would say?

>>37670911
>>37670905

>>37670905
I know that but she mentioned other Russian slurs before Frank picked up that one.

Also I want to know what sort of havoc she did or said before tonguing Frank.

Kind of curious what will happen once she gets over her haze and if she will remember what will happen?

>>37670945
Probably just something along the lines of "So happy to see you Frank" or equivalent. She seems to remember things well too, if the drunk Ice/Katya write up is anything to go by.

>>37670607
One more thing.
We know in this verse Navy pushing Wyvern as their Advanced Fighter, and Air Force pushing Raptors and maybe VF-19.
....What about Marine?
And does another Allied countries sans Japan have equivalent advanced fighter plane program?

>>37671071
but she wasn't drunk, just tipsy/getting there.

Ice was out of it.

>>37671098
>What about Marine?
The Navy's leftovers.

>>37671100
She drank enough that she was drunk. Ice however, was completely wasted.
