Wisp is a shy young woman who's grown up around military people and the Air Force all her life. A daughter of a General in the Air Force, she had to overcome size and personality, to earn her place as a military pilot, before slight auxiliary vehicle training. She is shy about who she is and who her parents are, more than with most things. As a very much newer Joe, she is often very much nervous around some of the more legendary bigger names, who've been around such a long time, afraid of not fitting in or measuring up, as much as she'd like to, and would like to make friends. She is very competent when flying or on the ground, it just often takes her a while to believe it around them.

OOC Notes[]
Wisp has undergone a number of unusual changes that are more than just physical.
For instance: The feline ears she's sprouting are actually her true ears now, the old ear canals are completely gone. Her tail is anchored directly to her sacrum. She has true retractable claws on her hands and feet, and her canine teeth are elongated.

As per discussion prior, I attempted to make contact with the villagers.
- Unfortunately, contact was not as I had hoped. They kept screaming at me to 'go away', and the only one who would even scream at me claimed that landing the shuttle in the fields would bring 'The Hive' to destroy their homes, they then proceeded to scream for everyone to take shelter away from the village, banging on other residences doors.
- Most I can determine from that is that if this 'hive' knows we're here, we're liable to see action sooner than later, and will have to protect our camp.

Mar 08 - Tentative Report[]
I don't have full details of the operation, but big thank you to Duke and his two... friends, for breaking me out of that Russian hole, along with that other girl, Selena. Apparently, she's one of those off reality type people, had some kind of ultra-tech armor seemed better than the Nebulon stuff even, and was EDC on her world. But she was also tortured there for a year, so will need a lot of recovery time.
The place I was at is a bigger issue, if we have intelligence on a guy called 'Krieger' operating out of Russia, well, they're involved. Another old unfriend who I saw while prisoner there was Dr. Arkeville. Both rescued prisoners were checked for mind control chips on the way back, Duke will confirm that, and I expect medical to check it again. The only thing good I can say was that I wasn't mistreated terribly much; apparently, they had a buyer lined up for me already and shoved me into a maid outfit with intent to 'teach' me by whichever means to bow and scrape and clean, to satisfy someone's fetish.
As for myself, while not completely clear how they did it, what was done to me most resembles what was done to Mara by Cobra years and years ago. The ones using it now apparently were more interested in either testing the tech or fetish sales. I'm sure some certain people would pay a crapload for a live anime catgirl, after all... My original ears and fingernails are gone, and I'll need to adjust my clothes slightly for it, but... I'll manage. As soon as medical can stop poking me, I'll be figuring out how to handle the ear issue with my flight helmet, and making certain I can be back to flight status as soon as possible.
Capt. Sally Menno/Wisp
Mar 08 - Follow-up[]
Another thing I remembered about the captivity after having peaceful sleep for a while is two more names from the citadel. A "Dr Grady" (she proceeds to describe Grady here) and a "Professor" referred to also as "Aleks" (proceeds to describe Seleznyov) That one seemed a little more hesitant, he mentioned he only agreed to work there to protect his daughter and keep her out of the lab I was trapped in.
- March 10 - "Medical Checkup" - Lifeline comes in to examine Wisp and evaluate any problems from her new condition.
Mar 14 - Leave[]
Since I'm not on flight status quite yet, I'm taking some leave time to visit my parents and discuss things with them. I'll be back in a couple of days at most.
- March 20 - "Meeting with a Potential Recruit" - General Flagg and Captain Wisp travel to Japan to meet with Mirumoto Robotics.
Mar 29 - Quick Report[]
For upper staff eyes only
Was out and about in Japan for a while yesterday afternoon, and ran into Storm Shadow. We rather quickly recognized one another and had a brief discussion. He's apparently hunting down to see if he can trace the neko culture from the source and find out who might be ordering catgirls. So, he's digging into where the tech and the people came from as well. Just thought people would want to know.
Apr 3 - Dropping a Bomb[]
Wraith finds out some medical news, then drops that bomb on Sci-Fi.
- Apr 4-5 - "Reports and Radio Chatter" - Wraith begins to write a report on her last Flight Mission, for the foreseeable future, when Radio Chatter interrupts her!
Apr 10 - Recruitment Update[]
So people are aware, we're welcoming two new people to the base and the team. Mirumoto siblings Hiroko and Shoji < images included > should be made welcome, Their equipment tech looks to be above ours, so probably don't touch it, they'll maintain it I'm certain.
Oh, and I'm back from Japan.
Apr 10 - Recruitment Update pt2[]
For upper command:
Since Katana and Shoji are basically contractors at this point, so determination of quarters and access authorizations should probably be figured out.
- April 16 - "Wisp Gets a New Assignment" - Wraith calls Wisp in to talk about a new assignment.
- April 22 - "My Tacos Bring All The Joes" - The Joes on base over the weekend have an impromptu Tacos and Ice Cream social.
Apr 23 - A brief project request[]
Since Katana is now working for the Joes, would it be possible to have her and her brother put their advanced tech knowledge to work on automating some of the systems on the B-2 and B-1Rs, to minimize required personnel to operate them? They seem the most likely for making good enough automation systems to allow for it. And Katana's mode of transportation, Valkyrie, needs verification on what all it's capable of, so it and Katana can be properly delivered to the right staff beyond R&D. R&D is obviously front and center, of course...
- April 26 - "Duty - A raid by an unknown foe hits the Joes hard, very hard.
- April 30 - "Sick and Tired" - Scarlett returns to The Pit finally, only to have the time away catch up with her
- May 1 - "MayDay Convention" - Tommy, Meggan, and Sean finally get to have a day at a convention in those Power Ranger costumes that 2 of them were somehow talked into. Other joes join in, dressed up in various outfits. What is a light moment ends in tragedy. Or How Meggan's Convention was ruined by Cobra.
- May 21 - Cupid in Training?" - Short training session, with a hint of Cupid?
- June 5 - "Air Battle at the Citadel" - The attack on the Citadel, in the skies!
- June 5 - "Battle Within the Citadel" - The assault everyone's been waiting for! The day finally arrives and a band of angry soldiers descend on the citadel to put an end to the evil being done within.
- June 7 - "Ground Zero Meeting" - A G.I. Joe meeting about Ground Zero PMC< whom the Joes owe payback to!
- June 12 - "Tattoos, and Spiders and Rats, Oh My!" - Seems to be a party on the Dock, and some interesting visitors!
- June 27 - "Not Just A Night Courier" - Sel was just minding her own business, heading in to pick up a shift at her side-job. Until she wasn't and ran into Eddie.
Jun 27 - Brief report[]
We received word tonight from Greathawk that what looked in description like another timeline's Dr. Steen was in San Fransisco for unknown reasons. She wound up finding him and being engaged in combat, at which point I rushed Kamakura to the scene and dropped him off to help her. I had to land before I got back to base however and pick up an Osprey upon reports that Greathawk was injured and needed medical evac immediately. Thankfully the situaiion happened mostly in one parking lot, so hover capable proved extremely helpful with both. As for what totally happened, they can report more on that than me, Kama carried Greathawk into the Osprey and I flew them back to base to get better medical than the greenshirt EMT I took along.
- July 3 - "Translating A Dream" - Wisp is asked to translate some security footage audio.
Jul 03 - Tomas Inicident Recorded in Medical[]
Clearance: Command initially, release to general 3 days after
So I was asked to come in and translate things Tomas shouted out in Japanese in his nightmares. Here's the rundown of it:
First line recorded is "No. I. Don't want this! Not again. Not again! I don't want to forget again!"
Second grab: "I'll do it... again... I was ... so close... this time..."
Third grab: "One day. I -will- be free of... this... of you... of everything."
And the 4th is the kicker: "One day, Mindbender... I will be -free-. You won't be able to do this... forever."
So, it's confirmed what happened to him. at this point. If anyone knows an effective way to counter the brainwave scanner, well, he needs it.
