In all seriousness, the one thing that would honestly Hurt Anna as a punishment detail would simply be 'I know why you did what you did, and I trust you did it for what you felt were the right reasons, but people you were protecting got hurt in the retaliation.'

And then there'd be an all-hands-on-deck situation to keep Anna from having a psychotic meltdown because that's the worst possible trigger to knowingly press, and even unknowingly, is still going to have Bad Reactions.
 
Stop her from fighting or doing relief work? You're, again, just crippling yourself. Anna's such a valuable piece that she basically allowed the (re)construction of an entire fucking arcology, and STRATNET previously determined she'd have the best effect on the war being on a 24/7 posting in the most brutal front. And if you go "well here's an exception to your punishment", then it's a worthless punishment because you're still letting her do the thing you're preventing her from doing.

STRATNET wants Anna on the battle line in North Africa, but she will not actually be placed there until third year at the earliest. Friend Computer has been overruled in this matter. Denying her permission to even go out on refugee aid work is a frankly negligible loss in fielded power for the duration. As Anna wants to go out and do something, denying her is a punishment, and as she would not be placed on a high value battlefield in any case, STRATNET loses nothing of consequence.
 
Or, we could do something revolutionary and not do stupid shit. But this is moot, as the fucking vote ended a month or so ago. So quit belaboring a point that has already been chosen.

Though that does raise another question, what leverage do they have to make their punishment stick and keep Anna obedient. Like if Anna suddenly had a fit of teenage rebellion and gone off rendering unauthorised aid to refugees what can UN do?

Does Anna grab unauthorised resources to give those aid or are those 'free' resources and the only reason it's unauthorised is because of logistic/priorities? The former would be a problem and they can guilt trip her for grabbing things she shouldn't. The latter... it's only a problem if she does while she's supposed to be doing other things and even those tend to fall under "priorities" like before.

I was thinking more like if she was supposed to be punished and no longer allowed to do aid work for refugees, but in a fit of teenage rebellion defys the UN, flies off to render aid anyways.

What leverage does UN have to ensure her compliance if Anna decides to challenge their authority.
 
That is a question that has dozens of analysts lie awake at night pondering.

Right now it looks like their best hooks are working through Anna's support Group. Vivas, Leonheart, Meyers, Cambridge, and both Rokusabes. Rope one or more of them in to give a spiel about how Anna's actions undermined the UN Air Force's efforts to defeat the Antagonists. This does hinge on having a case for how and why those actions undermined things.

Ignoring that this is largely a futile and pointless punishment.

By beating her with big words and reason with her, or move her Flight away so that her option is between helping the refugees or staying with her Flight.
 
SUFficient FAshion. The first work of its kind was released in January of this year (2019) because 1) I was bored, 2) I wanna draw winter clothes and 3) Squishy stopped doing the Newsworthy thing so I thought about doing a mock magazine. So, I made it a fashion magazine. It was supposed to be a one-off thing.

It did not.

I released another two months ago with an OL on the cover ('cuz why not), and then this one arrived.

Will there be another one? Depends on me mood, lads.
