If they can have fun with it, that's all that matters.

“It can’t be too different. I mean, the Automotive Fan Club picked it up pretty easily despite having only a few days to practice.”

“Well, we was desperate then,” says Stack.

“We still are technically,” you say back. Stack shrugs. “We’ll make Tankers of them yet. If they can have fun with it, it’ll make it even easier.”

Stack smiles. “That’s why I love ya, Elliepie!” Stack punches you on the ARM OW OW OW. “Come on, let’s show them how a tank works!” Fine, fine, as long as she doesn’t punch you like that again! Ow, does she even know how strong she is!? Fuck!

The two of you stand atop the Panzer IV’s turret. With Kiki, Ari, and Benny sticking out of the turret hatches, you guide them through the use of the Panzer IV’s gun with the operator manual. Ariel and Cookie meanwhile are busy fiddling with the sticks, seeing which does what with their own manual. “So, in order to traverse and raise the gun, you have to spin the little wheels there. Now, the ballistics of the 75mm are far different from than what you might be used to.”

“How do you mean?” asks Kiki.

“Well, for one, a 75mm is heavier than a .30 ought which you might be used to.” They all stare at Stack. Stack says, “What, has no one here fired a gun before?”

You raise your hand. “I have.”

“Of course ya have,” says Stack. “Ugh, I feel like I’m the only girl here who actually likes firing guns for a living! I bet y’all don’t have your own rifles!”

“No, cuz we’re not hicks,” says Ari. Stack huffs and puffs at that.

Benny leans over the cupola, looking at the manual. “I think we’re getting it though, Elodie. Do you think you can take us to the practice range and let us take a few shots?”

> “I’m busy. But Stack can take you.”
> “Sure we can, let’s go.”
> Other

>> “Sure we can, let’s go.
>Let's test out your driving skills.

> “Sure we can, let’s go.”
Once they get the hang of it though, we should probably move on and get to another task.

>> “Sure we can, let’s go.”
Supporting this too

> “Sure we can, let’s go.”

>> “I’m busy. But Stack can take you.”

> “Sure we can, let’s go.”
Maybe we'll run into the Gunner's Committee while we're there, they could certainly help, after all, you supposedly you learn a lot by teaching.

> “Sure we can, let’s go.”

“Sure we can, let’s get moving. You guys know how to drive?”

Ariel and Cookie give you a thumbs up, grinning. “We’re ready!” You look to Stack, and she nods in approval. The Panzer IV starts shaking and roaring as it fires up to life. With that, you hang on tight. It’s gonna be a bumpy ri-

The Panzer IV immediately reverses right into the Pershing tank. You manage to hold on, and thankfully it wasn’t that fast of a reversal but holy shit. “Hey!” yells Serafina. The Poles all yell in Polish at the Automotive Club, spraying the tank with their water hoses. Ah, you just crashed into their tank while they were cleaning it. That’s bad.

“Sorry!” yells Cookie. The Panzer IV scoots forward.

Okay, that’s better.

The Practice Range is empty, save for Iris Blackbourne and her crew taking a few practice shots while being overseen by Miss McPherson. “Right, take the shot,” you say to Benny. Benny nods, sound off in Spanish to her gunner, Kiki. The Panzer IV fires its 75mm long barrel gun, sending a shot flying right over the intended target about half a kilometer away. The shot explodes harmlessly in the sky.

“Damn,” says Benny. “We missed.”

“A little lower, you’re overcompensating.”

“Lower!” yells Benny to Kiki. Ari struggles to load in a new 75mm, but does it in good time thanks to Stack’s guidance. “Alright, fire again!”

The 75mm this time simply shoots right into the dirty some distance before the target.

“… Okay, now you’re undercompensating,” you declare.

“I never was good at math,” says Kiki.

“I’d be surprised if you were good at anything,” says Ari. Kiki hisses at Ari, slapping her thigh. Ari tries to slap Kiki back, but the two are quickly broken up by Benny kicking at them.

Iris walks on over, a saucer and a cup of tea in hand. “Elodie, Samantha.” You and Stack look down to Iris. “Nice to see you two. Fancy a cup of tea?”

> “Sure!”
> “No thanks, we’re busy.”
> Other

> “No thanks, we’re busy.”
