You're not honestly sure what to think. The two of them knew you, of course, and acted happy to meet both you and Merlin, though you think the presence of Stasya and Lilya kind of threw them off. They'd introduced themselves as doctors Megan Reed and Ritsuko Akagi, and proceeded to show you the implant and explaining it.

Honestly, the whole thing looked deceptively simple- most of the components are housed in small, flat cases, slightly smaller than a matchbook. There's two of those, which they explain will be housed along your spine in your upper back, under the muscle tissue there. They're linked to each other and a handful of other components by a network of covered cables. There's four hexagonal jacks- those will be in your neck. Their tops are made of a flesh-colored polymer, and each is protected by a dust cover. The covers, the doctors explained, are automatic- unless you've got your helmet on, they'll stay sealed. Stasya and Liliya looked interested at that.

The probes- a set of probably a dozen or more kind of wicked-looking needles are hooked to the control cases as well, with each case having a set. These, they explained, will be anchored in bone and actually be what's in your spinal cord. You're assured they won't interfere with your body at all- they're designed specifically not to, as a matter of fact.

2/3

They didn't do a real good job explaining the whole thing, you think, somewhat unhappily, sitting in your rooms back at the base. You've got a pair of rooms- one of them yours, one of them for the girls, though the connecting door is open and they're currently sitting with you on the bed while you surf through the channels. You've been advised to get plenty of sleep tonight, and the docs have said eat good before midnight- but absolutely no food or drink after then. While you could go for chow- and you know you can wrangle a ride to Santa's- you're not sure if you ought to yet, or if you even really want to. You're still kind of hurting from the ride in.

Merlin's over on the other bed, reading one of her books- you think she got it from the base library. She, at least, is excited.

Still, you have to do something- you can't just sit all evening and watch TV, and if you plan to get food from a restaurant- especially Santa's- you need to move on it before it gets too late. The problem, of course, is the evening news is going to come on, and you'd like to see if there's anything about the front- you've been feeling kind of in the dark since Crete. The girls, you know, will accept any decision you make without trouble, and Merlin's two wrapped up in her book to care either way, you're sure.

Sighing, you finally give up and shut the TV off, standing up. “Well, come on girls, let's go get some food.” You say, looking back over at them. They both slide off their perches on the bed, looking at you, while Merlin marks her place in her book and sits up.

“Are we going t-to santas?” She asks, which finally prompts a grin from you.

“Like we'd go anyplace else.” You say. “Stasya, Lilya, I hope you two are hungry!”

Lilya tilts her head to one side, and Stasya regards you kind of blankly. “We haven't eaten since we all had breakfast.” She says. “We are hungry, yes.”

“You ready for the best burger you've ever had?” You ask, looking for your jacket- finally finding it packed in Merlins things. No big shock there.

“We've never had a burger. What is it?” Stasya asks as you shrug into it and grab your wallet. You're not driving, of course- there's a car downstairs for you though, it's driver waiting in the lobby.

“It's-” You give up, and just reach out to pat her head. “You'll see, kiddo.” you say. “You'll see. You two ready to go?”

1/2

>>38296933
What about cake? Have they had cake? if not I think they may either take flight on a sugar high or go into a food coma

They both nod, and Merlin swings her legs off the bed, slipping her feet into the shoes at it's side. “I-I'm good.” She says.

Your driver, fortunately, knows exactly where you're talking about- the place has picked up in popularity, especially since your last visit. That said, though, the place is still pretty quiet before the dinner rush hits, which suits you fine.

“Hiya!” the hostess greets you just inside the door. “Five?”

“Four.” You say, as your driver heads towards the bar, making himself available and giving you privacy.

“Patio or inside?” She asks.

It's kind of nice out, and the patio has a gorgeous view of the beach, so you're really get a good sunset if you stay that late, but there's no TV out there, and the radio is almost too quiet to hear over the surf. Inside doesn't have the view, but it's more private and you might be able to catch some news, if Santa has it on.

“We'll eat in here.” You say, looking at the mostly-empty dining room. “Do you have something in the back, kind of out of the way?”

She gives you a quizzical look- then you see the light of recognition creep across her face. “You're-”

You nod. “Yeah, but I don't like advertising it.”

She bites her own words off so fast you hear her teeth click togther. “Right, sorry. Uh, I guess your booth is open, I'll walk you over there. Do you want me to call Mr. Santos? He's out right now, but I'm sure he'll come in if he knew you were here.”

[x] Sure, give him a ring.

“Sure.” You say, after a second. “Give him a ring.”

She nods, handing you four menus. “The menu's changed a bit, he hired a couple new cooks. It's all still really good, though.”

You glance over it- a lot of the names are unfamiliar. “Hot fuzz?” You ask.

She nods. “it sounds weird, but it's actually really good. That's one of the new cooks, a guy named Ramsey from back east. He has funny names for his burgers though.” She shrugs. “Anyway, I'll go let him know you're here, then I'll come back by to get your order, ok?”

You nod, and she heads off.

You're kind of torn on what you want- while some of the newer burgers look interesting, you're still more drawn to santa's classics. The only catch there is no one really cooks like he does, so you're not sure it'd be quite the same. Still, the list is kind of mind-boggling- there's a burger stuck between two glazed donuts, one that uses a peach for the bun, and one on fried macaroni and cheese, just to name a few. Eventually you settle for one you know, and help the girls order something. Lilya gets the hot fuzz- the one on a peach- while Stasya opts for a more conventional bacon cheeseburger. Merlin gets the same as you, though you know she won't finish it. She probably knows that too, though, and just ordered extra on purpose.

1/2

You don't wait too long before the hostess comes back with your waitress. “He said he's on his way, and not to let you leave before he saw you.” She says, with a smile. “You've been coming here a long time, I guess?”

You nod. “Yeah, I eat here a lot when I'm home.” You say. “It's been a while, though.”

“Yeah.” She says quietly, catching the meaning. “Well, if you need anything, just let me or Kelly know, ok?”

You nod, and she walks back to her place near the door, while the waitress gives you your drinks and takes your order.

The TVs are all turned to sports- from what you're getting, the raiders and the falcons are set to be the season favorites this year.

You don't have to wait long for the food- it's delivered by none other than Santa. “Fronk m'boy!” He says, beaming.

“Santa!” you respond, standing up to shake his hand and return the back-slapping hug. “How are you?”

“Good, Good.” he says. “Hello, girls!”

“H-hi Santa!” Merlin smiles back at him.

“There's cake when you're done.” He says, grinning down at her. “And what's your names?”

Stasya and Lilya both look at him, then at you.

[x] go ahead, girls.

“Go ahead, girls, tell him your names.” You say, smiling at them encouragingly.

Stasya mumbles a response- Lilya, of course, doesn't say anything. You're starting to wonder if she can talk at all. “Have to be a little louder than that!” Santa says, laughing. “Ol' santa's a bit hard of hearing.”

“Stasya.” Stasya repeats. “And this is Lilya.”

“Stasya and Lilya...” He says, looking at them both, contemplatively. “Very pretty names.”

They don't respond.

He laughs after a second. “Well, you all just give me a few minutes and I'll have 'em cook up something special for you!” He says. “You just sit right there!”

You sit back down, looking around- you're almost worried the old man has summoned press or something- but he hasn't. Though you notice the TVs have changed over to news- though they're on the entertainment section now and-

“Oh no.” You mutter, watching it. There's video, taken by some paparazzo, probably from across the street, of you and Benji eating at a cafe, along with his costar, Kim Greely. Merlin, seated on the far side of you at the time, only shows up intermittently, though it's enough to know she's there. The reporter is carrying on about what this could mean- it's gossip, really, though you're irritated when they hint at possible romantic links between you and Kim, and then you're pissed when they do the same between Merlin and Benji. While Ben's a good guy, it was made clear early on he's got a girl back home in Iowa, and he'd planned to bring her out to hollywood at the first chance.

You've half a mind to call up the producers and rip them a new one, but two things prevent you. First, you're pretty sure the PAO is about to go berserk anyway, and they're far better at that kind of thing than you'll ever be, and second, your food arrives.

1/2

Santa passes it out, then grins. “I've got dessert cooking right now.” He says, addressing mostly Merlin. “I made it a bit bigger than usual, so you can share!” She gives him a dubious look, and he laughs. “I'll make a second for later.” He says, reassuringly. “I'll be back by in a bit, kids. Gonna go see how everyone else is doing.” With that, he walks off.

You keep an eye on Stasya and Lilya as they eat- they always seem to shovel it in in such a hurry that you're kind of worried they'll choke. Besides, you can't really do that with one of these burgers, you kind of have to savor it. That and they're too big to cram down in a hurry.

“Eat slow, ok girls?” You warn, looking over at them through the corner of your eye.

They both look over at you, their food still untouched. “What if something happens?” Stasya asks.

“Like what?” You respond, looking over at her.

“Like an alert. Or an attack. or-” she stops when you start to chuckle.

“Stasya, when have any of those things ever happened with me?” You ask.

“Never.” She responds. “But-”

“But nothing. Eat slow, enjoy the food.” You say. “no point in getting good food just to shovel it all in and miss the flavor.”

She tilts her head to the side, though Lilya seems to have already taken your words to heart, and takes her first bite of her burger. Her eyes light up as she does so, and she nods to Stasya, who takes a bite too- the two of them share food very easily, something you suspect they learned in Russian hands.

“Well?” You ask.

Stasya shakes her head. “I- we didn't know food could be like this.” She says, quietly. “Can we eat here again?”

“Well,” you say, taking a bite out of your own burger. “There's lots of places with good food like this we'll eat at.”

“There are?” Staysa sounds completely blown away by this- she looks at her own burger, then back at you. “But this food is-”

“Good” Lilya says- the first you've ever heard her speak. You look over at her in shock, noting that, despite your instructions, she's still halfway through her burger.

Even Stasya looks at her in surprise while Lilya continues eating as if nothing happened.

“What other places are there like this?” Stasya asks- you wonder if she's trying to trip you up or throw you off about food- she probably doesn't believe you.

“Oh, man. I couldn't name them all.” You say. “But I'll try. There's the pub we ate at in London, right there by St. John's lodge-”

“H-hey frank.” Merlin interrupts. “Do you think t-they'll give you a suite there now?”

You shrug. “Food first, then politics.” you say, and she grins. “There's about a half dozen places in Paris, the one place in Japan, remember Merlin, there by Yokosuka?”

She nods. “Mhmm. R-really good sushi there.”

“Five or six places here in town, we won't get to them all. Plus there's my aunt and uncle up north, but I don't think we'll get to see them while we're here.” You say. “And the colonel, we might see him, he's not too far from china lake.”

“The Colonel?” Stasya asks- having gotten a shade paler. Lilya's looking at you, her eyes wide- and her burger, at least, what's left of it, sitting on her plate. “Y-you mean...?”

Actually I think it was slightly inspired by that Movie.

Natalya was not good at piano since she didn't have the heart for it despite copying his technique perfectly.

I don't recall but I think one of the things I ended up imagining, the first time she managed to put feeling into it was when Frank himself got very, very sick or was dead,

>>38301805
Frank will essentially be doing the same thing, except touring around teaching pilots ungodly piloting skills while teaching Natalya the power of being human.

[x] “Huh? What's wrong?”

“Huh?” You ask, setting your food down. “What's wrong?”

She shakes her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. “We don't want you to leave!” She says, suddenly wrapping her arms around your ribs, crying into your shirt. Lilya worms her way around to do the same, putting you at an awkward angle.

“Leave?” You ask. “No one's leaving. What's wrong girls?”

They don't respond- you wrap your one arm around the both of them, though you can't move from your spot easily. Instead you try to calm them down- why would they think anyone's leaving them? Not for the first time, you curse your lack of information on them- you simply don't know why they're having a breakdown right now.

“Girls,” you say, trying to be soothing. “No one's leaving you, I promise. If it bothers you, we don't have to go see the colonel. I just thought- “

“We don't want to see him.” Stasya sniffles. “We don't want you to leave.”

You nod, still holding them both- though they haven't let go of you, either. “It's fine.” you repeat, gently. “It's ok. We're not going anywhere, ok? It's ok.”

You're glad for the privacy- it takes a while for the two of them to collect themselves. Eventually they do, though they don't touch their food.

“Your burgers are going to get cold.” You warn.

“W- we're not hungry anymore.” Staysa says, quietly. “Can we go?”

“Back to the hotel room?” you ask.

She nods.

[x] Sure, I guess. Let me square things with Santa.

“Sure, I guess.” You say, standing up. They both slide out of the booth as soon as you do, intent on coming with you, wherever you're going. “Let me go square things with Santa, and we'll head back.” Still, they both stick with you, Lilya insisting on holding onto your free hand.

You square things quickly enough with Santa- he, as seems to be his custom- waives the cost of the food, and hands you a large carry bag with a pair of large cakes in it. He also swears to make you come back and pick up another pair before you head back to Europe. You give the bag to Stasya, who has to use both hands to carry it, but otherwise manages.

The ride back to the lodge is quiet, though it takes longer than the ride out did, with traffic picking up. You arrive after sunset, which is kind of a bummer- there's a good view out from your room as well. You sit back down on your bed- and are rapidly joined by both Stasya and Lilya, who take up positions on either side of you, settling in close. Merlin sees this- and immediately makes for the shower.

The three of you watch MTV while she showers- music videos probably aren't the best thing to be watching, but there's precious little else on. Finally, she comes out, her pajamas on, and slips into her bed, rolling to face the wall and putting her glasses on the bedside table. “G'night F-frank.” She mutters, barely audible. “Goodnight Stasya, night Lilya.”

“Night Merlin.” You respond, by reflex- the girls don't respond. You look down to make sure they're both still awake- they are, so at least you don't have to wake them up.

“Alright, girls. Showertime.” You say. They both look up at you. “You can both shower now, or you can go one at a time, it makes no difference to me.”

“Do we have to?” Stasya asks after a second. “We are... happy here.”

MPMB everything when there are ground targets, Laser everything when in B7R.
couple that with parts to improve stamdard missiles and a couple for maneuverability and You'll be o first place more often than not, at least when against people on your same skill level.

...passable
MPBMs are still blinding as fuck, and you should feel bad if you spam them on Dubai

It's like you don't even have taste, but that's too generous

I have written three papers on taste this term, and I'm sick of it

>>38302993
Next to the Puchies, Ritsuko for me.

What about spamming them on Moscow? Or on the Oil rigs?
Tokyo is a bit more difficult, but that's what improved warheads (M), Mobile Fin (M) and That One Reload Speed Part (L) are for.
I just use them to soften up the red targets on Weapons Base So the standards can finish the job and often forvet about them entirely and just go for air targets.

I've made an art out of killing everything using the Morgan, even finished the last campaign mission using it and the Lasers.
sadly I have yet to finish it using lasers and with no stealth parts, but I'm working on it.

Best actual idol. Fortunately puchis reign supreme.
