O'hare speaks up next. “We know she's probably asked you by now to not- maybe she's asked you to throw the match, or maybe even skip it entirely. She knows we can't make you fly, and Di- Admiral Nixon would make sure nothing happened for it if you didn't. We're glad you've decided to fly anyway.”

You get the feeling you're supposed to respond, so you shrug. “I'm not real big on not finishing jobs.” You say, simply.

O'hare nods. “Well, dear, either way we appreciate it. Now, today, Natalya is under the same instructions- give it her absolute best. We're hoping this flight will really shed some light on just what's going on with you and little Samantha.”

You shrug again. “Guess we'll see.”

She nods. “We certainly hope so. Tabitha is very skilled to come to the solution she did so fast- she'd have a bright future as a matron if she could just step back and look at the big picture more often.”

[x] She looks out for her people, that's all.

You shrug, working to keep your face a study in neutrality. “She looks out for her people, that's all.” You say. “And I can't say I've got a problem with that.”

O'hare shakes her head. “No, no, of course she does, we know. It's just that if she could take a look at the bigger picture, how allowing her people to face some danger could benefit everyone, including you. “

“Think about it luv.” Matron Knight says, joining back in the conversation. “You push yourself hard now, and it gives us what we need to understand your talent and it's connection with the young miss Wells. Not only would we be able to help you, we'd be able to help other young men like you, we'd be able to help every witch like miss Wells.”

You shake your head. “Either way, it's above my paygrade. Now, if you ladies will excuse me, I have a flight.”

“Of course, commander Bishop. Good luck up there.” O'hare says, walking with Matron Knight into the support shop- they'll be in the hawks today.

You head down to the hangar, interrupting Merlin halfway through her walkaround with Kenji. She notices you and greets you from beneath they Wyvern's fuselage and open centerline bay. “H-hi Frank!”

“Heya kiddo. Hey Kenji. How's she looking?”

“Good afternoon, Commander. The wyvern is in perfect condition.” Kenji responds- one of the few times he's spoken before Merlin.

Merlin nods, agreeing. “N-No visible faults, a-and the boxes for the bay e-expansion are in place. W-we did some work r-right before they started packing o-our workshop, so we c-can swap them if we need t-to.”

1/2

“Why would we need to?” You ask, peering into your port intake, making sure it's clear of any loose debris. While the turbine discs are hardened in the wyvern, mostly as a measure against you flying the jet apart, that doesn't mean you want to chance FOD you can avoid.

Merlin frowns. “W-we never g-got it to work with b-bigger systems, like the t-tesla cannon o-or the all directional m-missiles. B-but now we can remove it o-or just not power it up a-and use those systems i-if we need to.”

You nod. “Sounds good, kiddo. And we're looking good, time to plane up?”

She nods. “Y-yeah.”

She starts up the ladder first, with Kenji standing what seems to you a carefully selected distance away- far enough that you can't accuse him of anything, close enough that he could help her if she needed it.

She won't, of course, but it's good to see he's behaving.

“Hey Frank, wait up.” You're about to climb up when Ice catches you.

[x] “What's up boss?”

You turn, one hand on the ladder. “What's up boss?”

She's already dressed for flight- her new helmet unit held under one arm. Merlin and Kenji, along with the factory crew, must have worked nonstop to get the pair of Merlin's superstrikers up to their full capability before her workshop was dismantled and sent home.

“Just, take it easy, ok?” She says, clearly uncomfortable. “I don't want to lecture you, but remember we're headed to the front soon, and last thing we need is you to put yourself in a coma again.”

You nod. “The matrons were saying-”

She interrupts you. “They were probably saying exactly what they thought it would take to get you to put forward maximum effort. They've been hinting that I could be a matron myself in a few years if I cooperated. I'm not going to play games with this squadron's effectiveness to do it, especially not now, ok? Just- just do the same.”

I don't really like either, this fight could be like Young's or it could be the easiest yet. We don't know how hard we'll need to push but there's the nagging feeling that Natalya is a Stalin faction mole who will pull shit. We can always make the call in the fight.

>>33755815
This might be the best of both worlds

>>33755862
To be fair, Tanana is a lower line than Berlin. It was less gnoming and more getting shot to shit that almost killed him over Tanana.

>>33755862
Nah the plane couldn't handle the stress so it failed.
We used Tanama levels vs Young IIRC

>>33755862
The plane being shot the fuck up almost killed us, not the actual piloting.

>>33755885
And you want to tell someone that watch him almost go down for that 'I won't cross that line!' Really?

>>33755914
We've used it as a metric before. See the Young hop. "More than Tanana, less than Berlin." Ice didn't freak then, she won't freak now.

>>33755862
Tanama was a fur-ball in a Tomcat. Effort wise rather moderate, just the odds were against us and we had no super jet to save us.

>>33755512
Here >>33755792
Changing to this >>33755815

>>33755938
Also the fact we were out of missiles and out of bullets and on fire

>>33755963
Just a quibble, but we didn't run out of cannon rounds over Tanana. Gun jammed due to the nose of the plane ending up in shards- including some in Frank's chest.

>>33755512

>[x] No problem, boss. You want me to just throw the match? We could just cancel it, too, you know.

oooh, its been awhile but all i remember was that we had no weapons

>>33756192
Frank still had his fists. He was ready to punch witches in the face if they came near Merlin.

>>33756305
Well, they DID have bullets, but the gun was too busy being lodged in Frank's chest to use them.

>>33756355

>>33756934

>>33757007
Don't forget their pet dog Konnie

>>33757071
And the body guard

>>33756934
No way in hell. He might be a war hero, but he's made enough enemies in the Navy during the course of the war to make any further advancement almost impossible. Flag rank is totally beyond his reach now.

>>33757071
Let's be honest with ourselves, anon. Ice, Slider, and Katya could maybe be convinced to share Frank. Konstantina wants him all to herself. She probably won't settle for fourth slot or 'dog'. So... either she's the one and only, or (more likely) she gets shot down- hopefully only metaphorically.

>>33757120

>>33757028
>>33757071

>>33757177
Let me put it this way: Napoleon was an artillery officer.

>>33757196

>>33757177

Naval Aviators being carrier captains has been a requirement in the US navy since World War II.

>>33757259

>>33757211
In a time were artillery was the dominant "unit".

>>33757264
And a sailor being in charge of a carrier doesn't necessarily mean he's in charge of the planes.

>>33757289
Who?

>>33757259
One pilot out of many is not solely at fault for ship getting sunk by enemy action.

>>33757259
Please get over the Kitty Hawk already. There is absolutely no way for anyone to have guaranteed the safety of the ship. You can fanfic up any number of scenarios on how it could have happened, but under the circumstances, the Kitty Hawk was already in a bad way because of the mere presence of the dreadnoughts.

You are like the only fucking moron who ever keeps bringing this up like it even matters. Get over it.

>>33757381
You can't play that game, she isn't Goose.

An Admiral isn't necesarially sitting on a boat ordering a fleet around all Nelsonian. Like Nixon they have a much wider variety of roles in the overall command structure that aren't all telling boats what to do.

Then how was artillery the dominant unit if it requires infantry to take the field, hold it to secure the guns, and keep it held even during the thickest of fighting so the guns can work?

[x] I think the best course here is to help out- you never know when you'll need friends.

You think long and hard about it- coming close to offering to throw the match, or cancel it totally- still well within your right to do so. Finally, you shrug. “I think the best course here is to help out. Never know when we'll need the friends.”

“Frank-” She starts, but you cut her off.

“But I won't push it. I didn't have to against Young, I don't plan to here, deal?” You say.

She chews her lower lip, then nods. “Alright. I'm going to hold you to that.” She hesitates a second before half-turning away, looking back as you turn. “Good luck up there.”

You don't respond- who needs luck?- as you head up the ladder, swinging your legs into the cockpit and thumping down in your seat. You're still buckling in while Merlin hits the canopy retract and begins firing up the wyvern's systems.

“So what do we know about this one?” You ask, the same you've asked every time you've gone up. Kenji's guys, below, are removing the chock blocks, and Kenji flashes you a thumbs up when you're ready to move. That's one thing you'll miss, Barin is amazingly informal, especially with so few aircraft to worry about. It's almost like your own private airbase.

1/2

>>33757714
Force multiplication. Just how naval aviation works. An aircraft carrier should not be the majority of your force, but it provides much longer ranged and more effective fires. Even still, you don't want it to get into a close fight with a destroyer. It's the exact same thing.

“Not much.” Merlin admits. “Only that she's supposedly from the same programs that put out Konstantina, and almost everyone is creeped out by her.”

“Almost everyone?”

“Konstantina isn't.” Merlin says. “She won't talk to me much about Natalya though.”

“So she's an unknown. Great. Guns only?”

“Of course.” Merlin says, sighing. “Loaded, but both of them are safed and have no ammunition in the chambers. We’re in test mode, but we can defend ourselves if we need to.”

“Good.”

You line up, pausing for a second before pushing the throttles forward until the A/B lights illuminate on both. Releasing the wheel brakes with your toes, the acceleration is at least smooth, even if it is sudden and fast. Lightly loaded, the wyvern leaps into the air with hundreds of feet of runway to spare.

Once in the air, you turn north for the familiar Grampian mountain range.

If we start playing the "she'll be expecting that" game against some robotic wunderkind, we're gonna think ourselves in circles. The extra maneuvering room is good, the space to dive is better, and NOE is foolish against a witch.

[x] We’ll go in high- altitude is our friend.

You decide to stay at height- you'd rather have maneuver room and energy than try to play with a witch down around the ground.

The range is cloudy, though it's scattered, not solid overcast. You stay above them- they must be bottoming out below the peaks of the largest ranges, and you don't feel like trusting your luck against a mountain. Still, the pillars of clouds rise up at least a good fifteen thousand feet above even you, topping out high enough up to look like thunderheads.

“We tied on with AWACS?” You ask, suddenly thinking of the RAF Nimrod that's been controlling these exercises the entire time.

“Of course.” Merlin responds, placidly. “Warlock is on GUARD, he's also relaying to Admiral Nixon and the meeting in London.”

“He what?” You respond.

“The Admiral asked for updates, so they're narrating.” Merlin says. “I'm bringing up the sensors, hang on.”

The world around you lights up with data tracks- the projectors mounted on the reinforcing bar of the canopy displaying tracks for every target in radar range. The number quickly begins to pare down as Merlin squelches non-targets- civilian aircraft miles out of the range, birds, observer aircraft you only need to be aware of, not actively tracking.

“Frank I-” she pauses. “Frank! She's at our six! Six low and closing in fast!”

You grunt, acknowledging the warning. At least it saves you the trouble of having to look for her.

[] Dive! She's already in a climb, she's burning energy, there's no way she'll catch you.
[] Disengage! Get some distance between you and her, come back in when you're not being ambushed
[] Get her! She's in a climb, but you've got power and room to spare, might as well try and get a feel for what she can do.

You react by opening the throttles to full, counting on your jet's powerful turbines to carry you away from the young witch- how the hell did she get there without you seeing her anyway? Either way, you quickly realise she's still closing, though much more slowly now- still, she's damn fast, and it limits your options significantly.

Merlin, in the back, is doing everything she can, and has Natalya locked up- regardless of anything else, you'll know where she is, so at least you don't have to worry about that. Why she didn't tell you Natalya was still closing makes you wonder for a second- how did she know you knew? You put it out of your mind and focus on defeating the witch.

She's marginally faster than you, so running is out, but she's still not in gun range. You're approaching your maximum clean speed, screaming along at a couple times the speed of sound.

[x] Dive away! Physics is in your favor here!

Looking back, you push the stick forward, nosing the wyvern towards the ground and toggling on the terrain following systems as you do so. The little witch behind you confidently follows you down, though she's no longer closing, at least.

Unfortunately, you're out of altitude before she's far enough away to allow for anything to turn the tables- at least, not without going back on your words to Ice. Natalya, meanwhile, is closing again, and down among the mountaintops, now, you're at a disadvantage- if not as major one as you were afraid of, the solid rock providing you at least some cover.

“What kinda strikers is this girl in?” You grunt, hauling the wyvern around another peak and shooting a glance over your shoulder. “No way she should have kept with us through that dive!”

“Mig-29s.” Merlin responds, quietly. “Watch the mountains!”

You hop over the mountain- you'd have cleared it with room to spare anyway, but there's no need for you to say anything about it.

“How the hell is she able to keep up with us!” You ask, half to yourself, cranking around another mountain. “I can't get away from her, Sam.”

“Want me to call it?” Merlin asks. “Just chop one throttle to idle and I can call it in. Kenji will cover, I know he will.”

This arc at Barin is incredibly boring and feels kind of pointless, to be honest. Dealing with witch politics could be interesting, except, well, we kind of aren't. We're just getting the raw deal instead.
