You're fortunate in that the lounge area, downstairs, has several couches and a fairly large screen TV- if not as large as a modern one, then fairly sizable, all the same. Katsumi has been making noise about spending some money to renovate the lounge and the squadron halls, but you're not sure anything will come of it. As it is, yours is the only full squadron in the building- the place has never housed more than one at a time anyway, you're told. Usually one full squadron then a group of individuals from all different units and nationalities, there for different reasons. Kind of like now.

Late night British TV isn't really your thing- fortunately, the castle has credible satellite, and you're able, after some fiddling, to find a us network, playing the new star trek. Something to do with temporal rifts and two enterprises- you've been out of date, missing almost the entire last season, what with the start of the war and all. Kind of a shame, you think, but you're sure you'll be able to catch up later.

“Trouble sleeping, Commander Bishop?” A witch asks, sitting down on the couch opposite you, indicating the TV and the book behind you. You mentally curse- you didn't hear her coming and you were kind of enjoying the time alone.

You nod. “A little. Anxious to get back in the air.” It's not entirely a lie, and you're not sure how much you need to be telling anyone- plus, you don't even recognize her.

She smiles. “I see. Oh, I'm sorry, I have you at a disadvantage, don't I? I'm Marie O'Hare, here from Annapolis.”

You frown. “So you work with Lon-”

She laughs gently and shakes her head, interrupting you. “You can't really work with a woman like that, Mr. Bishop. You deal with her and work around her, but not with her.”

2/3

You make her out to be somewhere in her early 30s- which means she's probably in her 40s. She didn't give her rank, so either it's very high, or very low- and either way, entirely superfluous. She's a matron, and that carries a lot more weight here than rank does.

“Hope you don't mind Star Trek.” You say, changing the subject and motioning to the TV.

She laughs again and shakes her head. “Not at all! My daughter and I used to watch it sometimes when she was home. She's a marine, out in Okinawa.”

“Ah. My sister's in the corps too.” You say, thankful it's a commercial and hoping she won't want to chat when the show's back on. “Based up in Japan proper though.”

The matron nods. “I saw when I had a look through your file. Quite an impressive family record you have. Of course, I'm more interested in you.”

You quirk an eyebrow and look over at her- noting that she's openly appraising you, and doesn't seem the least bit shy about it.

“Oh gosh, that didn't come out the way I meant it at all!” She says with a laugh. “Though I'll bet thats why so many younger witches were interested in coming along as our aggressor.” She pauses, looking at you with a bit of a grin.

“For what it's worth, I'm sorry for Longstreet's behavior.” She says as the commercial break ends, “She's not used to being turned down like that.”

Jesus Christ people, that doesn't mean she agrees with Longstreet, she practically said so herself. Just because they work in the same institution doesn't mean they're cut out of the same cloth.

>>30021537
Matrons are politicians, and these two matrons both work for Annapolis.

>>30021566

Matrons regularly associate with politicians, but that doesn't mean they're all universally scumbags.

Nice blanket statement man, except we don't know how Matrons are promoted and what the requirements for one are.

>and these two matrons both work for Annapolis.
And that makes O'Hare automatically the same as Longstreet.

Right.

>>30021641
isnt that pretty meta?

Also, just because they're both Annapolis matrons doesn't mean that they're BOTH bitches. People within the same institution can and will be different

>>30021594
But that does not mean their goals are the same, nor their methods in achieving these goals.

>>30021430
hahahahahahahahahahahahahah What?

Are you from the same brigade as KATYA IS SPYanon?

>>30021610
Matrons *Are* politicians. They are the nominal heads of the witch heirarchy and therefore exercise political power to achieve their goals. Even moreso given that witches are a pseudo-autonomous multinational organisation on certain levels.

And of course all politicians are subhuman scum. I shouldn't even have to say this.

They're like wizards: disproportionate amounts of power and no sense of right or wrong.

/Tg/'s paranoia is full blast today isn't it?

Shouldn't we at least be respectful to her. We respected the assholish one but why not the one who's trying to be nice?

>>30021729
Well, they were.

One was a badass and one murdered a bunch of Sioux, but it doesn't mean that washes away the stain of politics.

>>30021682

>>30021807

>>30021772
/tg/ has been weird the last few weeks, not only here but other quests.

>>30021729
They were. Lincoln trampled all over the rights of citizens(not taking the whole secession business into account). Hell, he suspended habeus corpus. That is a HUGE deal.

>>30021773

And I suppose stuff the New Deal or the Emancipation Proclamation didn't count for anything like all? Man, I suppose despite working for fundamentally good goals, we should've just hanged the lot and called it a day.

>>30021710
This is a pretty big stretch for a series that revolves around flying girls in their underwear?

Not everyone is so one-dimensional especially in this series so labeling her as evil right off the bat is kind of rude.

considering we even gave the crazy russain girl and putin a chance.

You're all forgetting she's the daughter of an illusion and thus doesn't really exist anyway.

>>30021772
I'm seeing the option chosen as being frank, which seems reasonable considering the time and the person talking with us.

>>30021833
Therodore Roosevelt was a rough rider, the one that made the new deal was the one in a wheelchair.

still shouldn't we try to be respectful to the witch, I mean come on?

>>30021827

He also fought to end slavery and pretty much kept the Union together.

It's almost as if people as complex entities with their own goals and ways of accomplishing them, who woulda thunk it!

>>30021773
So every single leader in the history of humanity is scum due to dealing with politics.
Then the people that allow such a system to perpetuate are just as bad, aren't they.

>>30021827
>. Hell, he suspended habeus corpus. That is a HUGE deal.

...in a time of rebellion. You can argue whether or not they were justified in doing it until the end of time for all I care, but during a time of rebellion is one of the specific cases where the Constitution says Habeus Corpus *can* be suspended.

>>30021859
That's pretty much how I'm seeing it also.

People are having knee-jerk reactions in both directions.

>>30021729
teddy opened the door to many of the problems we have now. even though i don't know if he knew what he was doing at the time. Lincoln did a whole lot of bad things to the our citizens. but he did have the civil war on his hands so he made the touch choices that needed to be made. in the end, i think he was right.

>>30021835
People wanted to frag MacLeod back in the day. Reading old threads warms me heart, it does.

>>30021859
However, Frank is also a professional and he also recognizes the rank and seniority of the witch, so kind of telling her off is kind of rude, even for him

>>30021833
Nope.

Politicians cannot exist without a powerbase. Thus the must make concessions to the interests of that powerbase to hold power.

To slaughter a cow for it's delicious beef, you have to fed it first, after all.

>>30021901
Same here. Does anyone know if our glorious Fap Angel will ever return? If he doesn't I'd totally be ok with Ghost or Decu taking over SWQ.

>>30021835
>This is a pretty big stretch for a series that revolves around flying girls in their underwear?
Do you even SWQ?
>>30021907
Saying "All due respect" is a fancy way of saying "Go fuck yourself".

>>30021907
There is a point where politeness is rude. And I don't mean being Frank, I mean being frank. Just to be clear.

>>30021918

Soooo, then politicians only do the things they do because they would then be literally powerless and unable to make positive changes towards society instead of being baby-eating scumbags? Nice to know!

[x] “She already did the damage. There's no way Merlin will cooperate with her now.”

You shrug as best you can from your semi-prone position. “To be honest, she already did the damage. There's no way Merlin will cooperate with her now.” You state, mentally adding that you won't either.

For her part, the matron just nods, as if expecting the answer. “It might surprise you to hear, Frank- can I call you Frank?- that when she got back and gave her version of events, none of us believed her. Like I said, hon, she's used to getting her way. She never expected Samantha to respond like that.”

“I can't say I blame her. Merlin, I mean.” You grumble. “I've heard plenty of stories.”

Marie nods, sadly. “She was- well. There's no excuse for how she was treated. Some witches believe a girl's worth is in how strong her talent is, how strong she is. I never did. Talent isn't always something we can test for. If I had been there when she was tested, maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.”

“For better, or worse?” You ask, somewhat drily.

She laughs at that. “I suppose that depends on who you'd ask. For what it's worth, I'm sorry she was the one you had to deal with.” She laughs again. “Can you believe that old hag wanted to come here instead of me? Even tried to pull rank.”

“That probably wouldn't have gone so well.” You note. “Her coming here, I mean.”

“Oh goodness no.” She says, laughing again. “Her only interest in your Samantha is how and why she's suddenly exhibiting... well. This.”

She pauses. “And how it can be done for other witches. Her line of thought is, according to her, that if a witch as weak as Samantha was can suddenly do this, what would happen if a stronger one was given the chance?”

[] “Probably nothing. It didn't do Katya any good.”

Saying the other would be stupid, situation was unique in the fact that we were in a different bird and it was the first time someone other then Merlin was in the back, post Gnome powers. Still don't like the idea of someone other then Merlin in the back though.

Which was also related to Slavery. They fought over slavery because the south felt threatened since they felt their livelihood was being threatened thus tried to seperate from the union

[] “Probably nothing. It didn't do Katya any good.”

I am not seeing why we cant have both answers.

And I am wondering how old this O'Hare is. Cant be much older than 40 if Ghost did the math.

>>30022110
The North started the war in an overreaction to a terrorist attack at Sumpter. Secession had been peaceful until then.
The South did nothing wrong.

>>30022143

Economics that HEAVILY involved slavery, slaves constituted a big portion of the South's cheap labor, and they didn't want to give that up.

Not to mention that plenty of people genuinely believed that one of the pillars of southern society was their superiority over the black man. Their vice-president flat out stated as such.

Secession itself was the wrongness in that. The South had no right to remove itself from the Union. The only state that did was Texas because it was specifically written into their constitution.

Secession was in essence a peaceful rebellion and the North was 100% justified in attempting to reclaim what essentially amounted to stolen property.

>>30022223
Peaceful, Southerns dragged escaped slaves and even free men into the south so they can entered into the slave trade?

1) Because there is no constitutionally guaranteed right to secession, and it was upheld in the Supreme Court in 1869 that secession is unconstitutional.
2) Because their "Southern Livelihood" depended on slave labor which in itself is a humanitarian and ethical no-no.
3) There's a difference between forcing people to stay in a group they want no part of and forcing people to conform to a certain ethical and humanitarian standard. That's not facism that's basic human decency. If you don't like a certain group of people, there is and was nothing stopping you from moving to another state or country. What happened during the Civil War was completely different and the logic presented is completely non-applicable.

[x] “And what's your theory?”

“So I take it you don't agree?” You ask, turning on the close captioning. At least you can read the show- apparently it's an alt-universe thing, and the dead chief of security, who you always thought was kinda cute, is back, but she's going to go with the other ship or some shit. You've lost track. “What's your theory?”

Marie sighs. “I don't know, hon. It's... complex. Prior to Tanana, no one thought you were anything other than a highly talented young man. After Alaska... and Japan... and now Berlin, it's pretty clear you're something else.”

You chuckle. “You almost sound like you're impressed.”

“Oh, but I am!” She says. “You might not be a witch, Frank, but you're still a very interesting young man to us.” She smiles. “Male talents are always hard to study- and honestly, there's not that much interest in them. They're too... subtle.”

“Until now.” You state.

She nods. “Yes, until now. Samantha's talents and abilities were almost nonexistent, hon. You have to understand that she could barely manifest her familiar, let alone what she's doing now. Somehow, working with you, she's either been able to tap into a source of strength she wasn't able to before, or...”

“Or she's right and I'm some weird kind of sparkle battery.” You say.

Marie nods. “Or that. Or it could be some combination of the two- or some third option. It's possible that you two are a gestalt, somehow. If you are, imagine how exciting that could be! You'd be the first talent like that ever discovered.”

You can't think of anything to say- instead opting to watch the final few minutes of the show in relative quiet.

“So,” Marie asks, as the credits start to roll at the end “Do you plan to fly today?”

i bet she is writing harlequin like romance/smut novels about Fronk and herself.

>>30024896
Nah. That's more Merlin's style. Konstantina's are all uber-patriotic and involve headpats. And Comrade Stork, probably.

Nonsense, they'd be the longest novels about handholding and headpats ever.

>>30024896

I know you're pretty silly most of the time but did you pay attention to her characterization at all? She's all blushing maiden and shit outside of combat.

i did, i am guessing she is doing the writing so she can get the mental images of the head pats out of her mind. more than likely fail anyway.

[x] “Merlin said the jet should be ready to go today, so we'd planned on it.”

You nod. “Merlin said the jet should be ready to go today, so we'd planned on it.”

Marie smiles. “I'm glad to hear it. I'm sure you'll have some company up there- don't let those girls pull you into anything you don't want to do.” She says, standing up. “I'm going to go back to my bed. It was nice finally getting to meet you, Frank. I hope we'll be able to talk alone more often.”

She pats you on the arm as she walks by, and you're pretty sure she's putting that sway in her step on purpose. You elect to let it pass without comment.

You eventually doze off on the couch, the TV still muted. You're woken all too shortly later by Slider.

“There you are.” She says, throwing a flight bag full of your gear- including your heavy ass helmet- right on your chest. “Hurry up and change, I'm tired of dealing with every bitch in this joint.”

“Thafuq?” You grunt, pulling a clean flight suit down from off your face and looking at her.

“Long story short, every witch in this place has figured out you're flying today. Half of them are demanding your flight plan, and the other half are planning to ambush you on your way down to the hangar. I'd let them do it, too, just to see you have to answer all the questions, but I'm not going to do that to Merlin.” She says, planting her fists on her hips. “If it was just you, you'd be screwed.”

“That almost sounds like a better option.” You say, gathering your gear. “Is it an offer?”

“You wouldn't know what to do if it was.” She snorts. “Go get changed, then come see me, ok? I'll have your weather briefing and our maps for you. We're cleared into almost every bit of airspace between here and the front, except over London and Paris, but you'll want to talk to Ice anyhow, she's got a more restricted list for us, mostly over the channel and east Anglia.”

Must be painful trying to get out of them with that kind of bulk

You nod. “Anything else?”

“Nothing. Though, listen.” She leans in close. “Don't fuck this up. This isn't California, and it's sure as shit not the Sara. There's a lot of eyes on you, Frank, and they're looking for the shit you did over Berlin and Alaska, ok?”

You open your mouth to retort, but she holds a finger to it. “No. I don't want to hear it. Just say ok.”

You nod. “ok.”

“Good boy. Just do what you do, ok? But watch the insane shit, Frank. You and Merlin might think it's natural and normal and just fine, but it's creepy as hell. Some of these bitches are going to try to push your buttons. Don't let them.”

“Something going on I ought to know?” You ask. “Some secret camp for guys like me or something? Bullet in the back of the head?”

Slider shakes her head. “No, and watch who you joke like that with. The matrons here want one thing- they want you and Merlin at an academy. This is the best they're going to get- unless they can prove you're at risk here. All it takes for them to do that is see what you looked like getting out of your jet after Berlin. Or one badly timed joke they can use as proof you've cracked.”

“So...wait. Do what I do, but don't?” You ask, confused.

“Dial it back, asshat.” Slider hisses at you. “No one wants to see you leave, even if we know it means you'll be safe stateside. Stick with Ice or Katya, make it seem like you're a couple. You and Ice are cute enough together no one will question it, and Katya's got a vicious streak in her that no one will touch it if they think it's hers. That'll at least keep that shit in check. Now go change.”

Whether we can control how much juice gets sucked out of us by engaging in physics-defying maneuvers, Slider is also saying to not crack stupid-ass jokes which could be used as proof of our PTSD an gets us grounded and sent back to the States.

“What?” She asks, sighing. “You don't have all morning, you know.”

“Can't I just pretend to be your boyfriend?” You say. “I mean, you've got those shotguns and-”

She hesitates a split second- you'd have missed it, if you didn't know what to look for. “And no one would believe it anyway. You're not quite what people expect to see with me, you know? Now quit dickin' around and go change.”

Feeling you've pushed your luck enough with her, you find the nearest convenient privacy- one of the rooms downstairs, under the building proper. It's long been disused for anything other than a storeroom- stacked mattresses lie along one wall, while crates of paper sit along the other. Slider's warning echoing in your head, you move one of the mattresses before changing- you're almost disappointed that you didn't need to.

You stow your helmet in the flight bag, strapping on your thigh board and clipping on your rescue vest- damn thing went through another redesign, you think. Finally, you pull out your gloves- someone must have saved them- you notice a new patch done where the leather palms were starting to separate from the nomex. You'll have to ask about that, you think, stuffing them into the collar of your vest.

Finally you move the mattress and open the door- noticing the scuff of rapidly retreating footsteps. You almost wonder who they belong to, then just shake your head and head back upstairs, meeting Slider.

“Ready to go?” She asks. “C'mon, Merlin's down there with Kenji. He's a nice enough guy, but without Kat, he's going to get overwhelmed.”

Wasn't she our chase witch in the past when testing stuff?

In front of time with the sky disregard all others.

Man, the last thing we need is bad weather fucking up our maiden flight.
