Another slight schedule change due to classes being rearranged, leading to me needing to shift my work schedule too. (*T^T)
Anyways expect a probable upload either on Thursday or Sunday for now. :/

While ninya and tatanya makes themselfs busy with the machines, tatanya makes an offhanded comment.
"You two can go ahead and check out the gear catalog while we prepare the fitting equipment. While keeping in mind of your aptitude limitations and designation limits"
'I see, So this is what this tablet is for... well like she said it wouldn't be bad to just browse.'
Since both johan and Anastasia got a tablet, I can basically check out two pages in one sitting.
Navigating the catalog, one could see various tabs on the side of the catalog separating from gear classifications and country of origin as well as a filter to sort through them all at once.
The countries being animal icons or symbols, Tiger for Germany, Eagle for America, Bear for Russia, Lion for Britain, Swan for France, Panda for China, Raven/Crow? For Japan, Wolf for S-Korea, Deer for Sweeden, and a Mountain Goat for Italy.
Deciding to check out both what I assume to be America and Russia for now.
Scrolling through the gear lists, it mainly shows the name of the type of gear, the class its in, its specifications and aptitude limit and lastly sample images on what the gear would look like equipped on a female mannequin.
Spanning from blue, to purple, then lastly to gold, and as for the type of gear classes it goes to, Light Armored Vehicles (LAV), Light tanks (LT), Self Profelled Guns (SPG) , Anti Tank Guns (ATG), Medium tanks (MT), and lastly Heavy tanks (HT)
Browsing through the current page, I got curious, "um.. what date is it right now?"
And upon hearing mu question, tatanya looks up from the machine she was working in and puts a finger in her chin, thinking. "If I remember right... it should be April 27th, 1957. Is that right, ninya?" Nodding at Dr.Tatanya's question, "yes ma'am you are correct."
'Oh. Shit. Yeah I kinda forgot about that... looks like im going to need to study the history of this world for a bit... no wonder i saw tank gears that aren't specifically world war two, or cold war... hmm.'
After Browsing through most if not all of the available gears in the catalog, noting a few... let's say out of place choices and after preparing myselfs on what possible gears both of me could use basing on the that golden glow from Anastasia during the test and on what Sophia told me johan can also possibly get i start to think of possible combinations of gears to support myselfs even if it will be wildly one way due to the rarity gap.
After a few more minutes of browsing, I get interrupted by both Dr.Tatanya and ninya walking towards us, "so I take it you both have checked out the list thoroughly? Good good, well now that we've gotten the fitting table up and running let's go get you two fitted up shall we?"
As she then takes a few papers from ninya and skips it, "alright boy, you're up first. I wanna see what makes you tic-ow!" Getting a pinch from ninya, "ahem I mean let's get you checked first for which gears and which gear type is suitable for you, girl you can just wait there for now this won't take that long."
Nodding with both, I stand up with johan and follow them to the fitting chair? It looks more like an operating dentist chair than anything else honestly...
As ninya slides a thick curtain in between the machines and where Anastasia is, I sit down and the two swiftly straps me up to the chair, "alrighty, jut stay still till we finish. ninya you know what to do."
Not being able to turn my head or move much of my body, I can only see in my peripheral vision of ninya approaching me and a stinging sensation, which i am assuming of her taking a syringe and taking a bit of my blood.
Seeing ninya walk away and a machine nearby starting a whir of activation, Dr.Tatanya walks up to the side of the chair, "alrighty then boy, the paper from your aptitude results were of mid blue in quality meaning the best you can use are the massproduced units. Which isn't bad per say but not the worst either, much better than just having a rifle that's largely ineffective against those beast tanks and once the machine checks your gear type aptitude you can pick from the options available to you."
With a ding from the earlier machine whirring to life, ninya then hands Dr.Tatanya a piece of paper, "oho? Well lucky you you get to choose from three types of gear, ninya could you get the girl tested in advance aswell so she can choose while we work on this guy?"
As tatanya then hands me a tablet showing a few gears from the list, "here are all fo the ones currently available to you and the ones currently in stock in the armory take your time choosing as while it will not be a permanent part of you, you will most likely be stuck with it for a few years or so depending on your potential."
Holding the tablet up to my face i can see that there are only a few gears available to be chosen from, and the classes of gear that are available to me are SPG's, LAV's, and ATG's
As for which of the gears i can choose from...
(Just the gear, not the clothes >->)
The SPG's being:
BM-8 Katyusha, SU-18, Hummel (Early), Grille Ausf.H, and the M12 GMC
The LAV's being:
M3A1 Scout Car, SD.Kfz.251/10 and the SD.Kfz.251/17
The ATG's being:
A39 AT2, StuG III Ausf.B, Jagdpanzer IV 0-Serie, TACAM T-60 and the SU-76
'Man there's really not much to choose from huh? Well... for one the LAV's are out because I dont want to be running around as the commander so that leaves the ATG's and the SPG's... while both gives me the ability to day back... im not sure my aim is that much better than Zoe's atleast with johan I think since I've only been acting as a loader for her... so I guess SPG's it is since I dont need direct hits with them... wait! The katyusha! That isn't a tank but a rocket truck if i remember, meaning i can just spray and pray with it! Perfect!'
"I'll go with the BM-8 Katyusha please."
Remaining a an eyebrow, dr. Tatanya chuckles, "Oh? Chosen already? That was quick, alright we'll get started when your gear arrives and sister finishes choosing aswell." Before she injects me with something, which im assuming is a sleeping agent mixed with anesthetic since I suddenly feel very drowsy...

I also did dice rolls for which type of vehicle for what both johan and Anastasia can choose from beforehand, and I gotta say johan really did get lucky with the rolls as for Anastasia... well you'll find out eventually.
Oh and sorry about the pages being short, coming up with atleast 1k words put together is kinda hard for someone that dosen't really express or speak much myself. :(
