Kay gives a RC M4 Sherman to Noa (GuP X BA)

Noa

The Sherman's traverse mechanism is ingenious for its time period...

Noa

(I still can't believe I actually got to fire one with Kay. That was incredible.)

Noa

(What's happening? That light... it looks just like...)

Kay

Surprise visit, Noa! Miss me and my Sherman?

Kay

Thought I'd pop by with a little something from my side of the universe!

Noa

Kay?! How did you—the interdimensional travel—you actually came back!

Noa

Our physics club would have a complete meltdown if they knew about this!

Kay

Our maintenance crew figured out how to create small, controlled portals after studying data from our last encounter.

Kay

And since your school has that silly 'no tanks' policy, I brought the next best thing!

Noa

It's... a perfect miniature Sherman! The details are incredible!

Noa

(It even has the same markings as the one we fired together!)

Kay

Not just any model—this baby is fully functional! Courtesy of Saunders' engineering club.

Kay

Watch this—it can traverse, elevate, and even fire scaled-down rounds!

Kay

The track tension is authentic—see how it navigates over these pencils just like crossing a trench?

Kay

Let's show you the main gun capabilities—our specialist made functional miniature ammunition!

Noa

Wait, Kay! Not indoors! The dorm has sensors for—

Noa

(Too late!)

Kay

Fire in the hole! Just like when you fired the real one!

Kay

(That perfect little boom is so satisfying!)

Noa

My robotics competition trophy! No, no, no!

Noa

(Principal Arius just presented that last week!)

Noa

My laptop! All my tank design simulations were on there!

Noa

The security system is directly linked to it—if it detects unauthorized explosives...

Kay

I'm so sorry! The controls are stuck—the impact must have damaged the receiver!

Kay

(This is exactly what happened at Darjeeling's tea party...)

Noa

Security notification! They've detected "potential weapons discharge" in the dorm!

Noa

That's Mr. Planny coming down the hall—he's the strictest dorm supervisor!

Kay

Quick thinking wins battles! Under the bed with you, little Sherman!

Kay

We need a cover story—what's your school's policy on historical artifacts?

Noa

That's definitely Mr. Planny! Quick, hide anything tank-related!

Noa

(He's going to put me on probation if he finds unauthorized explosives in the dorm!)

Kay

Stay put, little Sherman! No more firing until the enemy retreats!

Kay

Just like a real stealth operation - radio silence and positions held!

Noa

Mr. Planny! What a surprise inspection! Everything's completely normal in here!

Noa

(That sounded way too suspicious even to my own ears...)

Kay

Good afternoon, sir! Kay from Saunders High School, international history exchange program!

Kay

We're just studying World War II communication tactics - fascinating subject, don't you think?

Noa

The laptop? Oh, just a small overheating issue. Happens all the time with intensive simulations!

Noa

And that mark on the wall is from my, um, science club experiment. Miscalculated reaction!

Kay

(No, no, no! The motor's still running!)

Kay

AND AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT TANK WARFARE!

Noa

Let me just clean up this mess! Clumsy me, always knocking things over!

Noa

(I need to disconnect the power before it fires again!)

Kay

The Sherman tank crews used a fascinating set of hand signals and radio codes!

Kay

Noa has been absolutely brilliant at memorizing authentic tank commander terminology!

Noa

Those marks? We were... demonstrating track patterns with, um, a ruler!

Noa

(Please don't look under the bed, please don't look under the bed...)

Kay

INCOMING!

Kay

(That's definitely another shell firing!)

Noa

It's not what it looks like! It's a... a...

Noa

A highly advanced historical simulation device?

Kay

It's our interactive educational prototype! Shows exactly how Sherman tanks operated!

Kay

The sounds are authentic recordings from actual battles - brings history alive!

Noa

I can't believe he actually bought that "educational prototype" story!

Noa

Though that "keep it down or I'll confiscate it" warning was pretty serious.

Kay

The receiver's damaged but not beyond repair. Hand me that screwdriver.

Kay

Rule number one of tanking: always know how to fix what you break!

Noa

So the wiring connects here to control the turret rotation?

Noa

(This is better than any tank manual I could study!)
