Vaporised

Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x Reader (callsign Vapour)

Fluff

Summary: Vapour teaches Hangman to put his mouth where his money is.

AN: tomorrow’s my birthday!! (Yup, sharing the same birthday as Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo 🥹)

Story under the cut:

Hangman was in rare form that morning—if by "rare" you meant absolutely, maddeningly, always insufferable.

The squadron had barely settled into the briefing room when Jake "Hangman" Seresin made it his mission to antagonize everyone in his orbit.

"Rooster, you planning to keep that mustache after I wipe the floor with you today?" he quipped, leaning back in his chair. "Or is it aerodynamic enough to help you fly better?"

Rooster shot him a flat look. "Shouldn’t you be studying the rulebook, Seresin? I hear you keep forgetting what 'teamwork' means."

Jake laughed, loud and carefree. "What can I say? I don’t need teamwork when I’ve got skill. I’m just built different."

"Built irritating," Phoenix muttered under her breath, earning a smirk from Bob.

In the corner of the room, you—call sign Vapour—remained silent, arms crossed, and gaze steady on the whiteboard. You had no intention of getting involved in Jake’s antics. He’d teased you enough in the past, despite the fact you barely spoke to him.

“Awfully quiet over there, Vapour,” Jake called out, turning his attention to you. “What’s the matter? Saving all your words for your post-match excuses?”

You didn’t even glance at him. “I, unlike some, don’t waste words,” came your reply.

That earned a round of "oohs" from the others, and even Hangman seemed momentarily caught off guard before recovering with a grin. “We’ll see if your flying’s as sharp as your tongue.”

The reason you were called Vapour wasn’t a mystery to anyone. During a training exercise, you’d pulled off a miracle landing with barely a drop of fuel left, earning you the respect of the instructors and the envy of a certain cocky aviator. Jake had never stopped trying to one-up you since.

Today’s dogfight simulation would be the perfect battleground.

Up in the air, Hangman’s taunts were relentless.

“Vapour, you sure you’re up there? Haven’t seen you all game,” he teased over the comms. “Or maybe that’s just your style—light and forgettable.”

Phoenix groaned. “Do you ever shut up, Seresin?”

“I’m just providing commentary,” he replied. “Gotta make things interesting while I mop the floor with you.”

You stayed quiet, focusing on your maneuvers. You weren’t interested in banter—you had one goal: take Hangman down.

Jake was good. Annoyingly good. But he was also predictable. He liked flashy moves and big risks, and you had no problem using that against him. You let him chase you for a while, luring him into a false sense of control.

“Gotcha now, Vapour,” he said smugly, locking onto your tail.

“Do you?” you replied, your voice finally cutting through the comms.

With a sharp roll and a sudden cutback, you slipped out of his sights and got behind him instead. Jake’s curses filled the channel as you locked on and fired the simulated kill shot.

“Hangman, you’re tagged,” Maverick announced.

Silence.

For the first time in what felt like forever, Jake Seresin had nothing to say.

“Vapour!,” Rooster cheered. “Finally someone shut him up!”

You smirked, leveling your jet and heading back to base. 

Back on the ground, Jake’s usual swagger was noticeably absent as the team debriefed. Rooster, Phoenix, and the others took turns mocking him, clearly reveling in his defeat.

Jake made a beeline for you afterward, his expression unreadable.

“Vapour,” he said, folding his arms. “You got lucky.”

You arched an eyebrow. “Luck? Or maybe you’re just all talk.”

For once, he didn’t have a comeback. He just stood there, staring at you like he was trying to figure you out.

Before he could say anything else, you gave him a pat on the shoulder. “You know Hangman’s actually the perfect name for someone who just got left swinging in the wind.”

And with that, you walked off, leaving him standing there—thoroughly humbled.

From the Training Grounds to the pool

The target is in sight, and my weapon in hand. A second to draw breath, and then I aim, the bowstring pulled taut by fingers shaky with both excitement and anxiety. Everything aligns and the arrow flies free from my grasp. The air whistles as the projectile tears through it. The creature jerks its neck towards the sound.

I miss.

The arrow finds a new home in the trunk of a nearby tree, and my fingers find a new reason to tremble. Quickly discarding frustration for determination, I nock another one. But when I raise my head to line up my next shot, I’m not met by the sight of my quarry.

Instead, I stare at the seemingly endless blue of an olympic-sized pool, breathless after my tenth attempt at freestyle. Ten attempts and about thirty instances of drinking the water, but who’s counting, right? I shake my head and shake the aftertaste of chlorine from my mouth. I am the image of resolve as I get into position once more. The next dive, for sure.

***

One of the appeals of Monster Hunter is the semi-simulated feel of its controls and gameplay. The weapons offer their own sets of strengths and limitations, requiring a different kind of approach and mindset for each one. You step into a different pair of shoes when you go from one to another, and you can feel the gears in your mind shifting as you get accustomed to each weapon’s moveset, timing and speed. I relate this feeling to real-life athletic activities, where you have to devote time to train and master the principles of it to achieve optimal results.

Yes, anyone can wield a weapon. Yes, anyone can run. However, it takes a seasoned hunter—one who has dedicated time to understand their weapon of choice—to fell a monster with the masterful skill that comes with, and is expected of, the profession. In the same vein, it takes knowledge of proper form and preparations for someone to lift weights, swim across the pool, and run great distances with ease of execution and avoidance of injury.

This train of thought delivers me to the realization that a big source of my frustration comes from “winging” both realms of “athletic pursuits.” As long as I can shoot arrows, I’ll be able to defeat the monster, right? As long as I can paddle, I can reach the end of the pool, correct?

Well, yes and no. Past experiences from different hunts and different sports lead me to believe that while it is possible for me to achieve this, I’d eventually hit my head against a figurative ceiling.The limit of how far stubborn determination and unguided exertion can take me. I wouldn’t be able to reach the next level of that undertaking without making an effort to have an in-depth understanding of each weapon; of each sport.

For the longest time, I was content with just wielding a hammer in Monster Hunter, swinging its weight around until I managed to defeat the monster. The beauty of the game, though, is that its difficulty curve is designed such that a time will come when you reach a wall which pushes you to learn other skills. Preparations that can be made to ease the hunt, creative solutions to hurdles that currently seem insurmountable, and methods to outsmart certain monsters. Things that I need to seek advice on from other hunters—those that have gone before me and figured out the tips and tricks. In moderation, of course; I still want to grow through my own experiences and merits.

It’s quite similar to delving into new types of sports. With running, you need to learn the proper form to avoid injuring your knees and feet, and to be able to make the most of that exertion and travel greater distances. In weight training, you need a gradual progression, working your way up from beginner exercises and light weights to the heavier loads, all the while keeping in mind concepts like proper breathing, posture, and center of gravity. For swimming, breath control is crucial, as well as the rhythm and timing of your strokes while keeping an aerodynamic form in order to successfully and smoothly reach the other end of the pool.

And that’s why I love Monster Hunter’s “feel for the real.” I can draw comparisons like these and it makes the endeavor more enjoyable despite the struggles that accompany it. I can visualize carrying a hammer while practicing deadlifts, envisioning my hunter applying the same techniques that were taught to me but within the context of her weapon. There is a sense of fulfillment in figuring out the adjustments needed—which body part needs to move and in what way—to finally get the proper form down. In the same way, there is equal excitement in executing a weapon combo after taking the time to learn and practice the correct sequence button inputs.

In both aspects of training described above, there is accomplishment in achieving greater progress through practice and preparation as opposed to just winging it. Intentional improvement versus improvisation.

With all these in mind, I was able to swim across the pool, breathing a little more and drinking a little less. Thanks to the videos that I watched and the advice from experienced swimmers (a.k.a. my parents), I learned to look behind me when I raise my body slightly so that I can take in some air through my mouth. Another thing I picked up was using my hips as the pivot to turn myself sideways and remain streamlined—use the core, not the upper body. On the Monster Hunter side of things, I was able to deal significant damage using my bow and pull off the combos that I wanted to learn after poring through the instructions of the weapon’s basic and advanced controls. The UI provided me with the information, and I put it into practice. Again and again.

Another similarity between hunts and sports is the need to have a goal. As a hunter, accounts of people facing the Fatalis and living to tell the tale are the stuff of legends. Personally, I haven’t defeated this formidable black dragon yet, but someday, right? I’ve also dared to dream of finishing an Ironman race; even just a half Ironman would do. Both of these seem out of reach with my current skills, but that only serves to emphasize my need for a focused resolve. I need to stop swinging my weapon senselessly and give my drive a sense of direction.

Ready. Aim. Swim.

DALLARA & FORMULA ONE

-> F1 Masterlist <-

Dallara is now present in all F3 championships, is the sole supplier of cars to the IndyCar, Indy Lights, F2, F3, World Series by Renault, Super Formula and Formula E championships, makes cars for training championships (Formulini) and participates in the Grand-Am category.

In Formula 1 it competed from the 1988 to the 1992 season, as a chassis supplier for Scuderia Italia. Drivers who have competed in Formula 1 with this car include, among others, Andrea De Cesaris, Pierluigi Martini, Emanuele Pirro, Gianni Morbidelli, Alex Caffi and JJ Lehto. In 2010 it supplied the chassis to HRT, while since 2016 it has supplied the chassis to Haas.

In recent years, engineering activity has expanded significantly (today it represents 40% of total turnover), both for racing cars and for high-performance road cars.

Dallara's continuous investment in cutting-edge technologies has reached its maximum expression in the construction of the first commercially available professional F1 driving simulator (there are 3 in the world).

Dallara participated in the Formula 1 World Championship as a constructor for Scuderia Italia from 1988 to 1992, obtaining as best race result two 3rd places at the 1989 Canadian Grand Prix with Andrea De Cesaris and at the 1991 San Marino Grand Prix with JJ Lehto; in the same years it also obtained its best placings in the constructors' standings, obtaining eighth place.

The Italian car manufacturer briefly returned to Formula 1 in 2010 collaborating with HRT in the construction of the Hispania F111; this experience ended negatively before the end of the championship, without the car ever having obtained points during the season.

Since 2016, Dallara has started a collaboration with Ferrari and Haas, supplying the chassis for the cars of the American team.

Aborted projects

In 1999, Dallara built, on behalf of Honda, 6 chassis of the laboratory car that the Japanese used to evaluate their return to Formula 1. This car, called Honda RA099, was designed and developed starting in 1998 by Harvey Postlethwaite, who had previously worked for Ferrari and Tyrrell, and was subjected to long test sessions both in Suzuka and Jerez by Dutch driver Jos Verstappen, who achieved times from mid-field, despite the fact that this project had fewer resources than those of the teams involved in the F1 championship. The sudden death of Harvey Postlethwaite due to a heart attack during a test session in Jerez put an end to the project and the Honda RA099 was put in a museum, while Honda decided to support the BAR team with its own engines. Of the 6 chassis built, only 4 were actually used on the track.

Towards the middle of 2004 a collaboration between Midland, Alex Shnaider's company, and Dallara for the design and construction of a Formula One car for the 2006 Championship was proposed. The internal name of the project was F106. To cope with this new work, some technicians with previous experience in Formula One joined Dallara; among them were Gary Anderson (Chief Designer), Claudio Gianini (structural design), Ian Thomson (composite materials) and Dan Fallows (aerodynamics). However, a few months after the start of the project, Shnaider decided to buy the Jordan team, reducing the partnership with Dallara to just consultancy for the development of some details of the single-seater.

Nepal Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission: Yeti Airlines 691 (YT691) ATR72-500 9N-ANC - Final Report

On Mar 28th 2024 Nepal's Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission (AAIC) released their final report via the French BEA concluding the probable causes of the crash were:

The most probable cause of the accident is determined to be the inadvertent movement of both condition levers to the feathered position in flight, which resulted in feathering of both propellers and subsequent loss of thrust, leading to an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain.

The contributing factors to the accident are:

- High workload due to operating into a new airport with surrounding terrain and the crew missing the associated flight deck and engine indications that both propellers had been feathered.

- Human factor issues such as high workload and stress that appears to have resulted in the misidentification and selection of the propellers to the feathered position.

- The proximity of terrain requiring a tight circuit to land on runway

- This tight circuit was not the usual visual circuit pattern and contributed to the high workload. This tight pattern also meant that the approach did not meet the stabilised visual approach criteria.

- Use of visual approach circuit for RWY 12 without any evaluation, validation and resolution of its threats which were highlighted by the SRM team of CAAN and advices proposed in flight procedures design report conducted by the consultant and without the development and approval of the chart by the operator and regulator respectively.

- Lack of appropriate technical and skill based training (including simulator) to the crew and proper classroom briefings (for that flight) for the safe operation of flight at new airport for visual approach to runway 12.

- Non-compliance with SOPs, ineffective CRM and lack of sterile cockpit discipline

During this training phase, students enrolled in an aviation course in Lucknow benefit from access to cutting-edge simulators, DGCA-aligned flight schedules, and personalized mentorship.

5. Professional Grooming & Soft Skills

In the aviation world, how you carry yourself is just as important as what you know. That’s why aviation training also focuses on grooming, communication, and behavioral skills.

Workshops on customer service, teamwork, leadership, and personal development are conducted regularly. These sessions prepare students for the expectations of airlines and aviation employers, where both technical and interpersonal skills are valued.

For cabin crew roles, this grooming is particularly critical and includes modules on safety briefings, emergency response, in-flight etiquette, and medical preparedness.

6. Licensing & Certification

Once training is completed, students undergo a series of assessments — both theoretical and practical — to obtain the necessary licenses or certifications. For pilots, this means qualifying for a Private Pilot License (PPL) or a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Others may receive certification in aviation management, ground staff operations, or aircraft maintenance.

The process ensures that graduates meet both national (DGCA) and international aviation standards. It’s the moment where the hard work turns into professional validation.

7. Entering the Aviation Workforce

The final step of the journey is entry into the professional world. With certifications in hand, students begin applying to airlines, charter companies, airports, and cargo operators. Lucknow’s aviation institutes often provide placement support, helping graduates secure interviews, internships, and job offers.

As a result, many alumni go on to work as commercial pilots, ground staff, operations managers, or even instructors. Their success stories inspire the next generation of aviation students and help build a stronger aviation ecosystem in the region.

My Dearest Eagle,

Today was the hardest goodbye. Watching you taxi down the runway at Kadena, ready for your final flight, felt like a piece of me was taking off with you. Forty-five years you soared above these skies, a guardian, a legend, and for me, a constant source of inspiration.
