You all still stand at attention, though you can tell everybody was uncomfortable at the Drill Instructor's words.

"But today is different." The Drill Instructor pause and actually grins. "Today, you are all proper bloody tankers. Your final task today is to report to the Depot to claim your Vertical Tank, and then to Admin to decide your deployment. Other than that, CLASS DISMISSED."

Finally, a cheer ripples across the gathered vertical tankers as everybody, you included, take off your caps and toss them into the air. The caps then begin to float back down to earth like a snowstorm.

"Holy shit man, we actually did it!" Axel grins as he hooks an arm around you. "Hey, me and some of the other guys are gonna grab some drinks to celebrate. Wanna come along?"

You glance over to Tarin, who effortlessly snatches her cap out of the air and puts it back on perfectly. She see you and Axel and merely shrugs.

"Whatever you want, Roy."

"Sorry, man, business first." You shake off Axel's arm. "Gonna be heading to the Depot first."

"Heh, wanna get the first pick, huh? Can't fault you for that." Axel smiles. "Alfie went ahead to pick a veet for us, as well. If you see her, tell her I'll be right over, okay?"

"Yeah, okay." You nod and turn to Tarin. "Let's go."

Ironically enough, it seemed that all of the graduates had the same idea as Axel, and decided to go party a little first. When you reach the Depot, where freshly manufactured Vertical Tanks are stored, the place is practically empty, save for the rows upon rows of green VTs standing proudly, mostly Strider light VTs and the standard Wolverine medium VT, and all their variants.

"Well, this is a surprise." You see the Depot Quartermaster walk toward you, a clipboard in hand. Her reddish brown hair was tied back in a ponytail, and you could swear she was sucking on a lollipop. Pretty odd decorum for an officer, you think.

"I was expecting you recruits to all be off partying." She continues, not even taking her eyes off the clipboard.

"Yeah, well, we kind of wanted to get the first pick." You explain.

"Looks like you have quite few variants here." Tarin looks around.

"Yep. We always get the top of the line models first!" The Quartermaster grins. "Which one are you interested in?"

M2A2 WOLVERINE MEDIUM VT

The mainline vertical tank for all Tilean forces, the Wolverine was designed to have very well balanced capabilities, as well as act as a modular platform for more specialized duties. The base A model sports durable armor and a dual purpose 75mm cannon capable of firing both armor piercing and high explosive shells. However, if the Wolverine has any particular advantage, it is its extremely high mobility for a VT of its weight class.

M2B1 HEAVY WOLVERINE

During past conflicts, Tilea quickly found that there were some situations where even the Wolverine's armor was not sufficient protection. In order to counter this, Tilean engineers designed a Wolverine variant with much thicker armor, making it proof against all but the heaviest weaponry, while still retaining its relatively small size. However, the added weight of the extra armor effectively nullifies the base Wolverine's speed advantage.

M2C3 SIEGE WOLVERINE

Designed as a mobile assault gun, the C model Wolverine replaces the standard 75mm cannon with a much larger 105mm howitzer. This gives it limited indirect fire capability, as well as a huge damage boost against fortifications and infantry. However, while the howitzer is capable of stunning enemy VTs, it has trouble actually penetrating armor.

M2D1 STRIKE WOLVERINE

Taking a separate path from the C model, the D model swaps the 75mm cannon with a high velocity 76mm cannon, giving the D model vastly improved armor penetration capability against enemy VTs, as well as increased range. However, due to the cannon's design, it cannot utilize HE shells effectively and therefore has poorer performance against infantry.

No matter what model we get, I just pray we don't get a hull-mounted machine gun.

>>39860861
Yeah, but he'd still be a dirty foot solider. Additionally, he would make a satisfying squishy crunch when we step on him.

>>39860947
As practical as it sounds, they'd probably try to run away or do something else, which is why we need a machine gun or something.

>>39860994

>>39861155
The way I see it, is that we're mostly doing combined arms operations with infantry and other VTs. Maybe there's an AA variant of VT that can be an impromptu meatmower.

>>39861155
Still it's pretty easy to get isolated.

"That is one nice looking cannon, there." You point to the D model Wolverine.

"Of course. Everybody wants the D." The Quartermaster rolls her eyes. "Well, you're lucky you got here second, then. The D models are always the first to go out of stock."

"Second?" You blink. "Who got here before us?"

"Some super shy kid. She picked up one of the B models."

"O-oh! Hi Roy. T-Tarin."

You look up to see the top half of Alfie's head poking out from the VT's hatch, only her white hair and purple eyes visible. In polar opposite to her brother, Alfie was terribly shy, and mildly agoraphobic, if the stories are to be believed. Either way, the poor girl practically spent almost all of her time inside a VT. However despite (or maybe because of) that, she was one of the top scoring VT drivers. Better than even Tarin, in fact.

"Hey, Alfie, what's going on?" You ask. "Breaking your new VT in?"

"K-kinda." Alfie nods. "She's much roomier than the trainer, t-that's for sure."

"Yeah, they definitely did not design those with driver comfort in mind." Tarin agrees.

Well, you could go grab a few drinks with Axel and the others now that you got a VT reserved. Maybe even try to bring Alfie along to help her socialize. Then again, you could go to administration to get your deployment sorted out.

"Hey Alfie, you should come along with us. Axel needs a winggirl, after all." You say. "Plus it's graduation day! You should NOT be spending it hiding in a VT!"

"Mmmmmmmmm, I think I'll pass." Alfie mumbles.

Both you and Tarin look at each other.

"I'll take the top hatch, you take the bottom." She says simply.

"Got it." You nod.

Tarin quickly uses that speed and agility she had developed over the years to clamber up the side of Alfie's VT. Alfie squeaks in alarm and ducks back into the vehicle, trying to button up. However, Tarin grabs the edge of the hatch, preventing it from closing.

Meanwhile, you head over to the bottom hatch, normally used for emergency escapes. Normally, you couldn't open it from the outside, but you knew every inch of the Wolverine. You pull a small multitool and stick it into a tiny port next to the hatch. It effortlessly pops open and Alfie comes tumbling out. Thankfully, you catch her before she can hit the ground.

"You got her? Tarin pokes her head out from the now open bottom hatch.

You give her the thumbs up.

"Waaaaaah...." Alfie winces.

Oh, that's right. The Depot interior was spacious enough that you might as well be outside in open air. Something Alfie apparently didn't like.

"Oh, don't be afraid!" You say happily as you lead Alfie along. "It's just air and sunlight! Neither of these things can possibly harm you!"

"Actually, there's some studies suggesting that extend exposure to sunl-"

"Not now, Tarin." You sigh.

"Sorry." Tarin stops herself.

"It's just... it just feels so UNSAFE out here..." Alfie mumbles, her breathing beginning to pick up.

"There's nothing to fear." Tarin brings an arm around Alfie to bring her close to her. "Well, other than snipers, but that's honestly a very unlikely situation."

"S-snipers?!" Alfie clings closer to Tarin.

"Not helping." You shake your head.

"What did I say wrong?" Tarin frowns.

Fortunately, the club isn't too far. Now with full army privileges, the graduates could now freely enter, and already, you can the sounds of laughing and cheering emanating from the building. Once inside, Alfie seem to visibly calm down a bit, but she's still wary of all the people inside.

"Roy! Tarin!" Axel saunters over, obviously a little tipsy with a few drinks him. "And Alfie?! That's a surprise."

"I-It's not like I came here willingly." Alfie grumbles and clings close to to her brother.

"SISCOOOOOOOOOON." You hear a bunch of tankers jeer from the bar.

"Hah! You losers WISH you got a sis as cool as mine!" Axel boasts and turns back to you. "So you up for those drinks? Or are you gonna chicken out again?"

>>39863226
Either it'll be fun like VQM1 or GBFQ OR stupid like in VQM2, CIMQ, and ACQ

Anyones guess really.

>>39863291
Great stories of you humiliating yourself in some manner. Plus, it wouldn't do to be hungover when we're literally about to be deployed.

>>39863305
Mostly depends on whether we win or lose.

Yes, Captcha, I know what a pizza is!

>>39863305
We didn't get drunk in CIMQ.

>>39863332
Yes we did, we still don't what happened that night. Never will too.

>>39863321
it may be embarrassing when you first here about it but give it enough time and you'll be laughing about it with everyone else.

>>39863226

Me, personally, I wouldn't feel good about dropping into a drunken stupor. Also, I'd like to go back to a more important point: we are *on call for deployment.* It'd be in our best interest to avoid a hangover so we can perform optimally on the field.

The both of you drink your third shots simultaneously. Axel just grins and sets his glass down on the bar before collapsing to the ground in a heap. Alfie squeaks as she bends down to check on her brother.

"Gesh I wiiiiiin." You giggle as you set your glass down.

"ROY ROY ROY ROY ROY ROY!" Your hear the bar chanting your name. Looks like you were the new steel liver.

"Well, son!" The bartender slaps you on the back, hard. "You just set a new record! Three shots of Wolverine Juice in a row!"

You just nod as your nausea begins to rise.

"Here, kid, you're gonna need this." The bartender hands you a bucket, which you gladly take advantage of.

"Are you all right?" Tarin asks, concerned.

"Y-yeah. Just gotta-" You vomit again.

"You and Axel get into the stupidest situations." She shakes her head as she picks up Axel's unconscious body while Alfie continues to fret over him. "Are you good to walk?"

"Y-yeah. I think." You giggle.

Tarin just sighs and shakes her head.

"Perhaps you should sleep this off before we pick our deployment."

A girl to surpass Tarin? Ridiculous! It's not like the Universe has decreed that she will continue to be single in whatever universe she exists, after all.

"Sure, I could use some rest." You mumble as you make to settle down on the floor.

"No." Tarin grabs you by the collar. "If you're going to sleep it's going to be on a proper bed."

"Awwwww, that'sssss no fun."

"I-is he going to be okay?" Alfie asks as she continues to fret over her unconscious brother.

"He's just passed out. He just needs to sleep it off." Tarin points out. "He's probably going to regret it in the morning, though."

"Oh, h-he's going to regret SOMETHING!" Alfie promises.

The thought of the normally shy and soft spoken Alfie doling out punishment on Axel was just too funny, and you break out in uncontrolled giggles.

"W-what's so funny?" Alfie whimpers.

"N-n-nuthin!" You laugh.

Finally, you get back to the barracks. Tarin gently settles Axel into his bed, and leaves Alfie to care for him while she helps you to your own bed.

"All right, let's get you comfortable..."

"Already am." You chuckle as you rest your head against Tarin's shoulder.

"That's just the alcohol talking." Tarin sighs.

"Naaaaaaaah." You assure her.

"Come on." Tarin pulls the blanket on your bed back and fluffs up the pillow for you. She then sits on the edge of the bed and pats it with her hand to guide you in. "You really need some sleep."

So what are we gonna dream about?

>>39864283
And then we ride her all day and night. We ride her through a field of flowers alongside Tarin.

>>39864313
There was no other real option here. We both know that.

>>39864314
She's a DFC, isn't she?

>>39864366
I hope not, perky handfuls that aren't too big are the best

>>39864366
Not quite. More like modest chest.

>>39864366
>>39864390
I got the general impression that all Tarins/Lucinas are on the small (not flat) side.

>>39864447
Small and flat are the best

>>39864447
Somewhere between modest and small depending on the world

Instead of going for the pillow, you aim for the better option: Tarin's lap. You gently rest your head on her slim thighs, you can almost swear you hear Tarin squeak in surprise, though that just may be the alcohol messing with your senses.

"Geez, Roy, always having to something embarrassing like this." Tarin mumbles.

"Haaaaaaaaaaah. You like it. Don't lie." You chuckle.

"I will not confirm or deny." Tarin tries to look away, though you can feel her fingers lightly stroking your hair.

However, the alcohol steals away the moment from you by finally overwhelming your brain and knocking you out.

---

"Uwaaaaah, w-what are we gonna do in the hangar, Roy?" VT-chan asks in a high pitched voice. VT-chan was being a very naughty girl today, coming in without paint, and just showing off her bare metal hull.

"I gotta go inside you and inspect each and every part." You say as you pop open her hatch.

"Roy, t-that tickles!" VT-chan moans...

---

"Roy."

You eyes slowly open to see Tarin's staring back. Your head is still nestled snugly in her lap.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"I had the weirdest dream." You tell her.

"Let me guess. That naked VT again?" Tarin rolls her eyes. "That you were about to do lewd things to?"

"I think I have issues."

"I think that was evident from fairly early on." Tarin nods.

"Don't joke, Tarin. I honestly have a really hard time telling if you are or not."

"Noted."

"How's Axel?" You ask, trying to crane your head to get a look without having to leave Tarin's thighs.

"Still unconscious. I'm sure he'll wake up soon." She explains.

As much as you want to stay in this position forever, you have to eventually get up, painfully separating your head from her lap.

"I hope you got some sleep as well." You say as you stretch out a bit.

"Don't worry about me." Tarin assures you.

After a quick shower and change of clothes, you and Tarin head over to the administration office, where one of the clerks there greets you.

"Ah, Powers and Richards!" The clerk nods as he digs through a file. "You both graduated in the top ten percent of the class, so you will be given priority for any deployment you choose. That pretty much means you'll be guaranteed to be deployed to your first preference."

You glance at the file, noting the major posts available.

3rd RECON DIVISION "STARVING WOLVES"

In charge of watching the large and mountainous northern border of Tilea, the 3rd Division tends to value mobility and small unit tactics. While the majority of their VT forces consist of light VTs, they do maintain a small force of medium VTs in case they need some extra firepower. The 3rd Division's primary enemy are "bandits" working under the nominal direction of Tilea's northern neighbor, Drachma. These bandits regularly raid Tilean settlements and mines, necessitating constant vigilance and quick response.

4th ARMORED DIVISION "DEVIL DOGS"

Tasked with defending Tilea's eastern border which consists of a combination of open fields and dense forest, the 4th Division often stresses combined arms tactics. While primarily a defensive force, the 4th Division's more specific role is as a reserve unit to counterattack enemy breakthroughs. The primary enemy in this area would be Reikland, a militarily powerful nation shrouded in mystery and secrecy.

7th ARMORED DIVISION "DESERT RATS"

Stationed on Tilea's western border, which mostly consists of open desert, the 7th Division stresses the use of massed, mobile armor formations, often with little reliance on infantry support. The primary enemy in this area is the Caliphate of Alin. A desert kingdom that continually prods Tilea's borders for weaknesses, and vies for the return of territory lost in a long ago war.

If it's any consolation, I think it'll be possible to make some unofficial modifications to our VT for various things we may encounter. Things like welded-on extra armour, cage armour, or maybe chin-mounted anti-infantry weapons.
