Jaakko nods and silently takes a seat. He has with him a cold vanilla soda.
Yamashiro enters the room shortly after, apologizing for her tardiness, and then the review begins. A replay of both engagements is shown on the wall with the screen; front and center is a birds-eye graphical reconstruction of events generated by the simulation, while off to either side are displays of the participants' ammunition and integrity. Squadron communications are also broadcasted, though only for Mjolnir's side (as having both sides playing at once would result in people talking over each other). Both simulations are allowed to play through in their entirety before anyone speaks up.
: So, Major Kirves, how would you say your squadron performed?

Walter in the meanwhile moseys around the base and ends up in the rec room after showering to talk with anyone that happens to be there.
Eremit is sitting on a couch reading while Pansar and Frisk play backgammon at the gaming table and Nagato watches Space Adventure.

Walter walks over to Eremit

"Sorry to interrupt your activity but congratulations, You're the first person to technically down me in my career. I owe you a drink or something of the sort."

Jaakko grumbles.

"Awful in the first engagement. A sound defeat. Why one of our pilots was resolved to bring a Razorback is beyond me. Second engagement we imitated the Djuriskas load out wise, got ourselves together, and fought a Pyrrhic victory," Jaakko replies.

Jaakko grumbles.

: Any specific points at which you felt you or members under your command excelled, or failed to meet expectations?

: That's... different. Can't say anyone else who's been in that position has made me the same offer.

GUNSHIP FOR DAYS

"Common courtesy where I come from, with my father or friends whoever got the least clay pigeons usually bought the drink."

theres also walt thanks
at the debriefing/review/whatever? no, the only people there are people in command or second in command positions
so rikard, klara, bell, jaakko, tippy, xiaomei, yamashiro, and coaxoch

what i meant was that walt brought an even less maneuverable aircraft
i guess at least his could carry a forgetton of missiles

Yui sits down in a chair by Nagato, and thinks back to the duel, drinking coffee from a small thermos.
Why the hell did I bring the Razorback?

"Our rookie 'Caesar,' seemed to be asleep or scared stuffless," Jaakko laments, "I believe he is as green as they come,"

"And uh-," he stops.

"During the second engagement, Yui in her razorback missed a critical Guidance Scramble that ended in Walt being downed, so we lost the power of that gunship," Jaakko answers, "And Tippy breaks formation like a bat out of hell, but she didn't receive orders to do otherwise- Nor was she a problem,"

: I see.

He turns to Tippy.
: Anything you would like to add?

"Common courtesy where I come from, with my father or friends whoever got the least clay pigeons usually bought the drink."
: Don't remember there being courtesy like that where I come from. I might take you up on that offer if we ever find ourselves in a bar.

"Very well, I'll leave you to your book then and see what the others are up too."

Walt then heads over to the gaming table to watch Pansar and Frisk.


Tippy straightens up

:"All i can say is that coming around the second match i was happy that we put our heads together and actually coordinated this time. I will be expecting more from my team-mates after the ordeal next time we fly a mission, simulation or not. I don't want to go back up into the air and have trust issues with any of my squad."

Tippy couldn't resist and finally had to address Jaakko's remark.

:"All due respect Major, "imitating" the enemy loadout will only work in a simulation. In an actual battle we'll be going in blind unless we have the necessary intel. Besides this i have no further remarks to give."

"The Djuriskas have a familiarity with a front that we are new to. Our first round, we took load outs that were generally available to us on the Deltan Front. Granted we do not have the inventory that the Djuriskas have, but we are now privy to their tactics and weapons selections that they have found have worked on the home front. We are simply learning from experience. And besides, the adage goes, 'if you're not cheating, you're not thinking," Jaakko responds.

He shifts in his seat and takes a swig of the cola.

"A fair point but lets not make equipment a crutch. I still think Mjolnir needs more training in using what they have. You never know when we'll be without special equipment and holding on by the skin of our teeth. We need more reliability in our wingmen."

: Not a very positive bunch, are you? You guys did better than you give yourself credit, especially you, Tippy.

: Hmph, not the first time I've heard that phrase, but it's the first time I've found it agreeable instead of infuriating.

"A fair point but lets not make equipment a crutch. I still think Mjolnir needs more training in using what they have. You never know when we'll be without special equipment and holding on by the skin of our teeth. We need more reliability in our wingmen."
: And there we have the main point I would like to bring up. Caesar was borderline catatonic, and Hawkeye's decision making was highly questionable at times. You know both of them better than I, is this a common occurrence with them?

"Very well, I'll leave you to your book then and see what the others are up too."

Walt then heads over to the gaming table to watch Pansar and Frisk.
: Oh. ...Alright.

Upon inspection of the game board, it looks like Frisk is beating his opponent rather handily.
: Alright, no. That is the fourth time in a row you've rolled a three!
: Hmm, you're right, that is odd.
: Are you playing with weighted dice again?
: What? No, feel it yourself, it's not loaded.

Morten takes the questionable die and inspects it, rolling it a few times and getting all sorts of things that aren't a three. He grumbles something under his breath and proceeds with his turn.
