This was inspired by a comic I saw a while ago in which Maho was doing what she's doing here, but the World of Tanks joke is my own. Sadly, nobody on DB seemed to enjoy it, but hope springs eternal.

EXT. DAY. A forest somewhere. A battle is currently underway between the BLACK FOREST GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL TANKERY TEAM and SOME OTHER SCHOOL'S TEAM. BLACK FOREST is winning handily.

INT. TIGER II TURRET. So handily that MAHO NISHIZUMI isn't even bothering to play; supremely bored, she's working on a book of crossword puzzles while her team processes the scrubs on autopilot.

ERIKA ITSUMI
(on the radio, angrily)
Maho, are you even paying attention?

MAHO
(obviously not doing so)
Hmm... what's an 11-letter word for "breakthrough", starts with P?

EXT. DAY. ERIKA'S TANK blasts an ENEMY TANK broadside with an AP shell, knocking it out instantly.

INT. COMMAND TANK TURRET.

ERIKA'S GUNNER
(on the radio, announcing generally)
Penetration!

MAHO brightens.

MAHO
Oh! Right, of course. Thanks.

She writes it down.
