From the look the mechanic, there was no question she was jealous of her power. The narrowed eyes and puffed cheeks suggested a grim childishness and pride in her skill, and for Astrid, Luisa's magic was akin to cheating. But Heinrich's orders were set in stone, and Luisa saved her the trouble. That did not mean, however, that she should stomach her 'arrogance'. Turning her head away, she grunted, "have fun."
Now all they need was munitions.
"Astrid, I could actually use some help," she said, detaching a magazine from the AT gun, "I've never fired the 10.5cm before, the only German cannons I've ever touched are from the 20mm to 75mm caliber. So I practically have no idea what the rounds of the leFH 18 look like, and that defeats the very point of me trying to load the gun inside."
She took out a single round from the magazine, then with a bit of concentration, it began to expand in her hand, until eventually it looked exactly like a Panzergranate 38 HL/B. The same shells she had struggled with to try and eliminate as many Soviet tanks as possible. "As you can see, I can possibly turn these little bullets into high explosive munitions for the SPG, but I need to see one of the 10.5cm rounds first. Obviously, we have none, and I'm not asking you to run out and risk your life to find it. I just expect that someone who's just as capable as me can give an exact description of the rounds needed."
Luisa's tone showed no pride, she just enjoyed a bit of competition every once in awhile. Healthy competition of course, not to see who died first. All that she cared about right now was completing the task at hand. And knowing that Astrid would have extensive knowledge on Deutsch equipment, she should be up for the job. Please just help me out here...
