She Who Battles Monsters: An Assassin's Tale
sthrift replied to Mirdthestrill's topic in Fan Fiction
I've been reading this with interest. And tho I hadn't commented until now, I find the story intriguing. I'll comment now as a piece of this last story kinda struck home with me. As a very young Jarhead, before my first deployment, we were loaded on buses and shipped toward Los Angeles for training. El Torro Marine Corps Air Station was still operational and they had an interesting training tool there for air crews of helicopters. It was a CH-46 Sea Knight mock-up on hydraulic jacks over a big water tank. We were loaded in the helo and dunked in the tank (after some training on how to evacuate the airframe) four or five times to simulate a crash landing at sea. The last time, the lights were doused to simulate a night crash. The whole flood scene in your last chapter brought that little training evolution back to me and the feeling of almost helplessness as the body of that chopper hit water and rolled over and sank before we could start our egress. Good times. -
@alaurin - Dark side behavior. Funny stuff.

Is it me or did it get warm in here? Never mind, it's just Alaurin writing another story. I snickered all the way through that one. And then Mirdthestrill slips one in on me while I'm posting this to begin with. That's the first I remember ever seeing about a flashpoint. I liked it. Interesting to look at the story as told by each in their own piece.

Alaurin, I'll admit it. You brought tears to a crusty old Jarhead's eyes. Well done girl, well done indeed.
