To the Skies! A Man of Earth meets a Woman of Heaven Part 1

"Well then, ladies and gentleman, I have a busy day ahead of me. So I must bid you a good day, Mr. Kleiner." The Chancellor rose from her seat as well as her two officers. They saluted as she walked out. Once the door had closed, the HandelWind Kommandant gathered his things and made his way out the door as Katherine approached Kleiner. "Right this way sir." They walked out of the building to the garage where a car waited for them as well Major Thont. "Ahh! Glad to see our very own "Hell's Angel" is going to be showing our esteemed guest what it means to be a sui-" "Major Thont! Glad to see your still expectantly a Major as you were ten years ago when I first met you. Still drinking yourself to sleep at night? Is that, perhaps, why they put you on baby sitting duty instead of a real post on the frontier?" Katherine said, cutting him off. Thont simply held out his hands and shrugged. "What's wrong with being comfortable with your position in life, Hell's Angel?" He said. Katherine shook her head, her annoyed frown turning into a smile. "How have you been Varkos?" She said, shaking Varkos's hand. "Been better, been worse my dear. Where we off to with our guest?" "Take us to Foxtrot Air Field. I want to give him a taste of what's like with an air combat unit." Katherine. Varkos raised an eyebrow and stared at Katherine for a second. Sighing, he shrugged and walked over the car and got in the driver's seat. Katherine then turned to Kleiner. "Right this way sir. " With the group loaded into the vehicle, they drove for some time out of the city. First the roads were paved, crossing the open green fields of the surrounding land on the clear day, the mountains off in the distance. They turned onto a bumpy dirt path until they arrived at a military airfield. The sound of propeller aircraft drifting in an out, yet, oddly enough, there were only one or two aircraft in sight. Both sat silently alone in their hangars. "Here we are ma'am. I guess I leave you to give him the 'tour'." Katherine lead Kleiner into a barracks looking building. It was generally empty and instead of a living quarters it was a briefing room of sorts, with a map wall, chalk board, projector, and seating. It was entirely empty and Katherine nodded to Kleiner. "This is the Pre Flight area. Here Witches and pilots would all gather here on a moment's notice, on any day of the year, to plan out and launch a mission within minutes of the alarm being sounded. Here is a realistic example and how we're going to fly today..." She walked over to a red latch on the wall. She yanked it down and suddenly a loud alarm sounded. As if someone had kicked an ant's nest, the base suddenly came to life. Witches suddenly darting in from all entrances, filing into the room and taking their seats as fast as possible. All the were in uniform, though it varied based on where they were in the base. Some were preparing for a formal night out and were dressed for the best while others wore more casual/standard uniforms for what they thought to be a lazy day of festivities. Now all, regardless of what they had been doing, stood at attention before them in front of their seats, ready for the emergency. Finally, after only five minutes, the commander of Foxtrot squadron came charging in. "WHO THE FUCK PULLED THE AL-.......... Lieu, Lieu, Lieu, ma'am! Lieutenant Colonel Avonsta! Ma'am!" the commander immediately came to attention and saluted. Katherine nodded and returned the salute. "At ease Major Kleinst. I must say, you have drilled your witches quite well for them to be all assembled like this so quickly. I knew I could count on you. We have a special guest today from across the world. This is Ubermeisterung Creutz Kleiner and his security detail from the Great Westhurst Union in the north. We are here today to show him what the Strike Witches can really do and... give him a tour of the skies. May give the briefing to the girls?" "Of, of course ma'am! It would be my honor ma'am!" "Right then.... Alright ladies! Listen up! As you may all know I am Lieutenant Colonel Avonsta, Leading commander of the 133rd Striker Squadron AKA "Hell's Angels", however, today I will be leading you. Our flight plan is simple, just conventional maneuvers, formations, and combat drills, but! You will preform as if the enemy was about to siege the capital and you were all that stands in their way! As you may have been wondering, the two scary lookin fella's and the guy in the rigid dress uniform are foreign observers. These men do not know what it is like to dominate the sky. Today you will show him and me why our Strike Witches are the greatest bunch of pilots the world has ever seen! You have ten minutes to be on that runway and ready for take off! Dismissed!" With that, the Witches rushed out of the building towards the hangars. "Alright, we better move. If I say ten they will probably do it in seven." The group made their way over to a hangar, not a observation tour, oddly enough. There a two seater trainer aircraft sat waiting to go. "We shall be observing their practice from the air. I shall be your pilot for today, Mr. Kleiner, but I'm afraid you must leave your guards behind as it only sits two. That won't be a problem I presume?" she said, almost challenging the man, daring the man to be a coward. They boarded the aircraft and took off into the sky......

Still here! Had some very unexpected crazy stuff. But I will be posting tomorrow.

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

Late to the farewell party, but have fun! I expect many things for our nations upon your return! Well with that, who else once to interact with The Empire of Arkillia?

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

I get the vague sense that there may be war on the horizon..... a vague sense.... a calm before the storm. Will be posting tomorrow!

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

day da dest ding

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

The empire could possibly help with that. Be all like "Airships: best thing since sliced bread!"

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

Alright posted! Some good ole dialogue between nations! XD

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

''Thank you, I am Herr Ubermeisterung Adolf Creutz Kleiner, Kaisermann of the Wolfeguard-Hylche division, it is an utmost pleasure to meet such high esteemed military officers and pilots, I have heard much of your accomplishments.'' Creutz said, a surprisingly noticeable smirk running across his lips. He leaned back slightly in his chair, however he still remained his disciplined demeanor, not even a single fault could be found in the sharpness of his uniform, even. The Iron, steel and Aquitium cross, the Heiberngaizer Kross, glossing against the sunlight which flies through the window. ''Quite the beautiful celebration you have, a well made, rallying, empowering speech Lady Chancellor.'' "Thank you Mr. Kleiner, we always try to make each year's celebration more spectacular than the one before. Not an easy task to say the least. Now then! Down to business." Helena opened a file containing some documents and motioned to then. "Your nation has expressed interest in our sale of airships, but according to this, you are particularly interested in watching how a modern airborne infantry unit operates, yes?" she then nodded to the HandelWind Kommandant, Walt Hoffmesser. "During this year's celebration, we are having various mock battles and... military exercises around the country. nearby we have a distinguished airborne unit 75th Airborne Division or better known as the "Bastards of Barkove" preparing for a some training exercises at Fort Markzer. Tomorrow you and your security detail will meet with their commander and he'll take you through some of the tips and tricks of having such a force." he then motioned to Katherine across the table. "However, Major Avonsta here will be showing you how literal airborne infantry can be an effective resource on the battlefield." Katherine nodded to Kleiner. Her face was covered in various small scars and one of her eyes was slightly discolored, most likely the result of dodging flak blasts and surviving many crash landings in her years. "Yes sir, the Empire has proven that highly nimble airborne units can be quite effective when dealing with an overwhelming enemy air force. As it is so common during this age, nations will usually just mass produce one or two types of aircraft and send massive waves of them to fight. If you have a specialized force with superb equipment, the ratio will dramatically flip as I'm sure you understand." She motioned to the large windows that covered the west facing side of the room. Outside the confetti had settled, but the air was still filled with the 1st Fleet, particularly the Fortress Class. "Having big, highly mobile artillery is a huge advantage on the battlefield, but they are very vulnerable if you know where to hit em. Having a skilled light flying unit can make a world of difference."

What is that. A map for ants? XD I'll be posting tomorrow, been a bit busy.

The Dawn of Tomorrow's World(A Dieselpunk Nation Roleplay)

Alright posted. I kept your end vague so you can have plenty of room to work with in filling in the other view point of this. I had a hard time describing the scene when the representatives first encounter the Chancellor, so sorry if its a bit confusing. They essentially get to watch the opening ceremony for the biggest holiday in Arkillia.
