A fate worse than death
When the world exploded, Fantasy had been thrown onto her back several meters away from where she'd been held. It was the perfect moment, one that made her heart hurt to pass up. There was a kanmusu somewhere under the waves, and while she might have to work on her aim, it was actually comforting to know her side was still out there for her. Or as comforting as one could expect in this, her most trying of times.
Instead of trying to run, and risk being killed by the damnable abyssal aircraft, Fantasy hadnt even bothered to move more than to sit up. Even that much had taken great willpower out of her. Simply put, everything hurt, and she doubted she would make it very far under her own power before sinking. She wanted so desperately to check on her surviving convoy mates, make sure they were ok, but she couldnt even fight the impy little destroyer that heafted her onto its back.
Instead, she hung her head in shame as she was once again proven too weak to stand up for herself. She hadnt been able to stop the attack, she hadnt been able to escape. What good was she? Half her convoy was dead because she had relaxed. It was her fault they'd sailed right into an ambush, and she couldnt even do anything about it now. She'd all but settled on blankly staring at the passing ocean when the obnoxious headgear that stupid Wo wore obstructed her vision.
Despite herself, Fantasy hacked a bloody cough in an attempt to laugh. "You feel loss?" She tried and failed to adjust herself on the destroyers back, instead just sitting there limiply, "All abyssals do is kill, and for what, just for the fun of killing." She coughed again at the strain of speaking, "You murdered three good ships, they were my friends, my charge. And in the blink of an eye, they were all gone." Fantasy didnt like this side of her, she was normally a little ditzy, but easy going and fun loving, but something had changed in her. Something fundamental had snapped after witnessing the destruction of her first and only command, "Youre all monsters." She muttered. She hated the abyssals, wanted so desperately to make them pay for what they had done, but she couldnt. She was utterly impotent.
Then again, something struck in her mind about what the Wo had said. "W-what was her name?" She refused to look at Wo while she asked, but her tone softened as she asked about the sunken heavy cruiser.

Doing her best
Glory waited just a few minutes, long enough to allow any stragglers to tumble in before she started. After all, she was sure the information that didnt get directly passed to those ships not present would eventually find its way to them. Taking a deep breath, wiping her brow, and working up a considerable amount of courage, Glory stepped up on the chair she'd brought and cleared her throat.
"Attention! Attention everyone!" She waited a moment as the general din of conversation died down, using the moment to survey the large crowd of kanmusu, "Thank you, and let me first say, Welcome to the District!" There were a few half hearted cheers, mostly from the destroyers, "Or well, what we've managed to fix." Chuckles. Hey, this wasnt going so poorly! "I am FNS Glorious, for those of you I have yet to meet face to face, I will be your Secretary ship until further notice." From her vantage point, she could see she had the crowd's attention, but they were getting ancy.
"Many of you, Im sure, probably believe this deployment to be nothing more than backwater base with nothing to do. Im here to assure you that is very much wrong." She wished she had a megaphone or something to broadcast her voice, all this yelling was going to murder her throat, "Until recently, this entire sector had been deemed cleared of abyssal threats, pushed out into more eastern sectors. We dont know how, but they have come back, and they are harassing our shipping to our sisters and brothers on the front." She steeled herself for what was coming next, "In the time its taken us, me, to get this base somewhat operational, we have lost a further five heavily escorted convoys. We are here to find out how the abyssals have come back, and what they hope to accomplish past murdering defenceless freighters."
"To this end, I have deemed it necessary to begin operations tomorrow, even without our full complement of combat ships. It is my hope that-" She stopped mid sentence as an excited voice filled her head through the short range radio. She took it in and in a heartbeat made a decision, "Hornetsnest, This is Glory, do not engage, we dont have the ability to replenish your aircraft yet, and they will be needed for further operations... Take risks only as you deem necessary." And then the two ships she'd met in her office were racing by her. She mostly ignored Higashikawa as she watched Avvo disappear, "No ship will sortie. That convoy is too far away for us to help them more than Hornetsnest already has." Then she turned a ginunely angry frown at Higashikawa.
"It seems your friend Avvo likes to go off half cocked." She was still standing on her chair, so she looked down to meet the cruiser's gaze. In an uncharacteristic bought of vengeful thinking, Glory had an idea, "In my office you asked me to delegate to you." She took a deep breath and let her scowl ease back to a slight frown, "I have a job for you. Youll keep an eye on Avvo. She may have already proven to be insubordinate to me, and impulsive at that. But I cannot have her dying because she's made a poor decision. You'll take over responsibility for her, make sure she doesnt do what she just did again or else Ill have you both removed from my district."
Glory liked to believe she was an easy going ship. She didnt demand much from her subordinates, and even considered herself one of them most of the time. But that stance changed in times of crisis. She was a firm believer in command authority when it was needed, and at a time like this, that was definitely needed. The butterflies in her stomach seemed to melt away as cold resolve settled in their place. "I hope you all now understand the gravity of our situation." She directed at the crowd, "And why we must put up with a half built base, nonexistent supplies, and understrength fleets. I suggest you all get some rest, Ill have Kreech River post tomorrow's assignments on the wall outside the cafe within the hour, youre all dismissed!"
Nothing left to say, Glory jumped down from her perch and dragged the chair back inside to a very sweaty looking Kreech River. Said cruiser then followed Glory into her office and accepted the official looking parchment, quickly farrying it to the cafe and nailing it into place under the small roof'd bulletin board.

In her office
Kindred was utterly taken aback to the point of speechlessness. Instead she simply listened to his exotic accent as the gears in her head screeched to a halt. "I, um." She stuttered, but then she found purchase and shook off her surprise, "Youre not here for Turmfalke?" She hazarded a guess. Standing back she reexamined the talk man, "Im sorry, with everything happening as of late, Ive been drawing more conclutions than normal." She waived for him to come in and retreated back to her desk.
Having been a merchant for her world's leading exporter, Kindred just so happened to be well versed in the many accents from aross the world. His had that certain dutch zing to it that made it stand out from German. And while she could still barely understand the weird way he spoke english, barely was better than not at all.
"Im going to assume I understood what you said," She started off, her flared temper gone as fast as it had come. "And no I was just catching up on some paperwork, I assume youre on an expedition for tomorrow?" She didnt make the duty rosters, but the Expeditions fell under her purview as Quartermaster, and they were to report to her before departing each morning. The only question she had was why this fine gentlemen had seen it as appropriate to try reporting in half a day early.
It didnt piss her off, only inconvenienced her. And she could deal with being inconvenienced. It was when her time was wasted that she had a problem. "Youre a tad early for check in arent you?"

He was a strange one, shed give him that. Strange and tall. He was unlike any battleship she'd ever met, in fact she couldnt exactly place what type he was. Obviously she was an auxiliary, but she'd spent enough time around to know how to read different ships. This kid was... difficult. She chalked it up to his weird speaking habits and moved on. "Of course, Id want to know my boss too." She replied with a neutral tone, "Seems reasonable, but maybe you should be getting some sleep, or getting to know the people youre going on Expedition with."
She sat down behind her desk again and exhaled heavily, "As it is, Im not your boss, Im just the one that determines what we need," She wavied at all the papers on her desk, "In order to achieve what Glory wants done with the base." Indeed, her desk must have contained at least half the paper supplies left on the base! Who knew that bases ran on bureaucracy and paperwork? Evidently not a whole lot of people, since she was the one selected for the job. She'd come in with Glory's entourage several weeks before and hadnt had a moment to rest since.
Especally with everyone demanding something from her. She couldnt just make shit appear out of thin air, she could get close, but she wasnt magical. So when people like Turmfalke hound her for weeks on end about something she wants, it got aggravating. Not because she wasnt making it a priority, but because so many other things had to happen at the same time. What was more important? Having air conditioning in your sleeping room, or where you eat for five minutes? Or having drinking water? Every time Kindred had made some headway for the damnable cruiser's request, something else came up and took away the resources.
It was only now, after most of the dorms had been renovated, that she'd managed to scrape something together for the cafe, and even then she was sure something would come along and fuck those plans up too.
Speaking of... Someone was knocking on her door again. When did her normally quiet office turn into the base social club? With a huff that sounded like 'excuse me' she stood again and walked to her door. As soon as she cracked it open, she had the instant reaction to slam it shut again. Instead she took in Turmfalke's carefully neutral expression, and the obnoxiously noticeable note she had thrust before her.
So Kindred didnt slam the door in her face. Opening it wider, she scrutinized the note, at first she was skeptical. Then she realized Turmfalke would never approach her like this if it wasnt genuine, and decided to at least give her a chance. "Turmfalke," She tested, "How can I help you?" Word must have filtered to her about what Kindred had managed to scrape together. The thought put a ghost of a smile on her face, she always loved seeing the product of her labor, and by the gods this one had taken some doing. A cloud passed over Kindred's expression, or maybe she was here to ask for something else.

Dia decided to sit down for dinner, entering the cafe once again. She felt safer in the building this time, knowing that the staff inside were willing to stand up to her.
She went up to the counter, feeling a little more confident than last time, and deciding to say her order rather than just pointing at the menu.
"U-Um, I'd like... A rice meal... Enough for a Battleship... Please."
That could have gone better, she hadn't even specified which she'd like, she'd pointed at something on the menu and scrambled toward the seat she was in before.
She sat and waited, her parasol tucked neatly beside her. Hopefully, Elliot would come in, she wouldn't feel as bad talking to him. Despite how low that chance was.

Fantasy was, in one word, conflicted. Here was someone she could easily hate. Someone she was utterly justified in hating. And yet she was able to see it from both ways. The way she raved about a suicide mission... it sounded familiar. In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she thought Wo was wrong. Wo hadn't been on the suicide mission, it was Fantasy. Why else would command send a convoy with only three escorts? She had been bait. Bait for what? That sub...
It only made sense, and the damaged gears in her head did their best to comprehend the implications behind it. Lost, she turned her head to look at Torch. The little girl had been so full of energy and eager to please, now she was laid across the back of an impy little destroyer bleeding from a thousand cuts. She couldnt see where Enrichment was, but knew she was faring no better.
"I..." She tried to start, instead hacking up a bloody glob, "I think," Talking really hurt the young cruiser, "Letting us go this far into Abyssal territory is a death sentence." There was no way Fantasy would make it more than a few hours before hitting another abyssal patrol, or outright sinking before even that. The thought of carrying another kanmusu with her was... painful. Frankly it wasnt going to happen. "And if you try to take us back, you'll..." She trailed off as she realized she was warning an enemy of their demise should they work in her favor.
The cruiser turned her face away, not showing her captors the conflict raging on her face. They had to be getting close to some kind of abyssal base, the sun was getting low, and they'd been sailing for hours. "I think the point is moot." She pointed out bluntly, staring absently at the fast approaching forms of several abyssal ships.
Fantasy couldnt see much from where she was perched, but it looked a whole lot like a bunch of elite destroyers forming a defensive ring around another Ri class and a Ta class elite battleship. As the whole group drew closer, Fantasy tried to make herself as small as possible from where she was being hauled, fearing the slightest move might bring about her untimely death.
"Wo. Youre alive. And with your mission objectives completed." A deep and utterly terrifying voice, it must have been the Ta speaking. Another, lighter voice chimed in, it reminded Fantasy of the sunken Ri class in its pitch and tone, "Where is Ri?"
Before an answer could be tendered, the deep voice cut in, "We will escort you the rest of the way, no need to fear Wo, these Elite destroyers will keep you safe." The Ta's voice was full of sickly sweet poison, and Fantasy couldnt help but shrink away at the mere sound of it.

Sergei ordered full steam ahead, pushing his rig to the limit as he tried to reach the base as quickly as he could. Salt spray spattered his face as waves hit his rig before the island came into view. "Finally, I can get out of this damned rig." Sergei thought, pulling down the goggles to keep the spray from burning his eyes even more than it already had. Soon, he found himself sailing along the shore line, admiring the change from the stark, barren rocks from the Northern Base to the sandy beaches he remembered from the first base he went. Seeing another one of the Kanmusu's standing along the beach, Sergei waved at the girl and pointed towards the docking yard as he moved towards it. The Docking yard was similar to the ones in the Northern and Western bases and after leaving, Sergei looked to see if the girl had followed him.

Jebslund wrote:Kerriott and Mary Read Kerman
Kerriott and Mary Read Kerman had scarcely gotten the café back open when the battleship walked in, ordered, and went to a table with a speed and vagueness that left Mary Read Kerman, who hadn't even left the counter to take orders yet, confused and worried she'd somehow offended the battleship as she called out the order. The lack of specifics was even more disconcerting, as it meant that it would be easy to screw up and put down the wrong thing, and, given the battleship clearly didn't want to talk, and was already apparently put out with her, asking for clarification wasn't an option.
Kerriott, meanwhile, took it as an opportunity to whip up a battleship-sized meal of chicken risotto, making sure to get the seasonings and flavors and textures just so, and plating it in a way one wouldn't have thought possible for a café on a base in various states of run-down abandonment only just beginning to get back on its feet. As soon as it was ready, she had Mary Read Kerman carry it out, giving the destroyer a reassuring head pat as she said, "Don't worry. She's not mad at you. She's just shy is all. Now go give her her food, okay?". As soon as Mary Read Kerman went to deliver the food, Kerriott's expression darkened slightly. What was her dear little one going to do tomorrow during the expedition? Was there even a tender assigned to her? What if she got hungry, or tired, or scared? What if she was attacked? Would the others step in to save her? Kerriott knew she'd have to pack as big a lunch as the destroyer could safely carry, which meant getting up even earlier than she'd already planned. Granted, without Kerriott, the café would be without a good cook, and Mary Read Kerman's ASW capabilities would be needed in an expedition, but why couldn't they both have either been on the mission or at the café? Kerriott knew she had to accept it, as orders were orders, but she didn't have to like it and couldn't just not worry.

I was remembering an old anecdote with my siblings, Abhcan and her mischief, as I was ripped out of my thoughts by a kanmusu, a male kanmusu, waving and pointing towards the docks.
He was... not bad looking, if I were to be honest.
At least, that was, what my spotters said.
Oh, why not? I decided and nodded, turning towards the docks again, jogging there to keep up with the cruiser, which was quite a feat in my heels.
My brown-blonde hair fluttered in the wind behind me, the effort getting my boilers running and myself up to speed - oh, this was liberating! Not as much as it would be at sea, where I could freely dance on the waves, but it was a start to lift my mood.
I still did not manage to get there before the cruiser, thanks to the heels.
I smiled slightly as he exited the building, taking a closer look at him. My lookouts were not incorrect, he was actually quite good looking.
Slowing my own steps to something more appropriate and letting my hips swing a bit as I approached him, my green tunic and brown corset emphasizing what there was to emphasize, I still smiled at him, my deep blue eyes locking with his.
"Hi, there.", I greeted him - stellar performance, but there had been worse before.

"Salut." Sergei said, returning the greeting as he smiled at the female Kanmusu, dismounting his rig and held out his hand to greet her in kind. "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is SPN Sergei Malinokov from Solkovia." Sergei glanced around the dock yard, looking at the different rigs that rested in their bays. It was somewhat pleasing to see a lot more vessels among the ranks of the Kanmusu that there had been in previous operations, but he couldn't see Dia's rig and wondered if she was here. But at the moment, he couldn't afford to be rude to the girl who was right in front of him. "I cannot tell you how glad I am to be back in the tropics instead of freezing up north." Sergei said, going back to talking at the blue eyed girl. "You're from Selkie, correct?"

Fantrum wrote:The Harbor Demon
Someplace secret
Every day was a good day for her. Nothing brought her more pleasure than to repair her children, to bring them peace and care for them. In that way she was like a mother. For every ship within her waters belonged to her. Once they left, well clearly they didnt want to be near her, so she didnt care once they left. But she could feel all of the living ships within her. Without exception. When a ship entered her space, she could reach out to them, protect them, guide them. When they left, she could long for their return.
From her pedestal, located in the center of the lagoon that formed this naval base, she directed the operations of her extended body much like the conductors she loved so much. Strangely she could never place names when she thought about it, so she tended not to think. That would take away from her charge. And without her charge, what was she? Not some princess that could move around on her own. No, she was bound to this place as much as the sands themselves. It didnt bother her, so long as her ships were fed, rested, and content, she could live her entire life in this one spot.
Speaking of... She perked her head up at the fast departing flotilla of four ships. Already they were drawing away faster than most ships did. Had she insulted them? Perhaps she had, all she ever tried to do was please her charge, but some people refused her with simple kindness, it appeared this was one of them. "Wo Class, Elite Status," She reached out to the lead ship, knowing that her destroyers were likely only following the larger ship's orders, "Why do you leave so suddenly? There are no patrols scheduled to depart."
It was hard for her to ask the next part, but she knew she had to, to achieve at least some closure before the ship was gone, likely forever, "Have you been... Insulted? Were the facilities inadequate for you?" She was growing steadily more angry as the thought ran through her small mind. Of course some high brow aircraft carrier didnt like the accommodations that had been provided for her! It only made sense! Surely that one was accustomed to the machinations of a harbor princess!.
Instead of really listening to the reply, the demon instead called for Ta, the base operations manager. "You and your inconsiderate Wo class!" She practically yelled at the confused battleship, "If your Wo must leave to attain the level of care she so craves, then so be it! But dont bring her here simply for her to leave so soon again!" In the demon's mind, she was utterly justified. It was terrible manors for someone to bring a guest aboard only for them to jump the railing back where she had come from not five minutes later.
"Calm down. What do you mean Wo left." Ta transmitted back, further enraging the demon, nearly to the point of opening fire on the battleship. "She must have found my ability to refit her unacceptable and has left my lagoon!" The demon was screaming now, making the closest abyssal ships shy away for fear of making a wrong move near her.
Ta was silent for several seconds before replying with, "Assemble a fleet, Im sortieing after her." And cutting the connection. Nearly frothing at the mouth, the demon calmed herself enough to remember that Ta called most of the operational shots around here, and sighed angrily as she complied. It took about twenty minutes, but she had another Wo, a Ri, about a dozen elite destroyers and four Nus ready by the time Ta collected them and departed without a word. Leaving the Harbor demon to curse her and swear up and down her vengeance before becoming caught up in refitting a badly damaged So class and forgetting the entire event completely.

Dia sat and nervously fidgeted as she waited. She was afraid they hadn't got her order, and she was going to be sitting there for a while. That was until her food came out, chicken risotto, enough to feed a Battleship. The smell enough got her mouth watering, and she bowed slightly to the destroyer who brought it out.
"U-Uh, Thank you very much."
Dia then effectively dug into the meal, like all battleships and cruisers, manners never took priority over sheer consumption. However, she managed to retain, at least a level of decency. Making sure to be quiet and chew with her mouth closed, making as little mess as possible.
She kept eating at an effective wolf's pace, she was confident that she wouldn't be judged for this. It was an incredibly normal practice among other Battleships, especially considering Dia could go toe-to-toe with a Yamato-class, both in combat and in eating.
The food was frankly delicious, another 'don't judge a boom by it's cover' moment.
She thought about tomorrow, she was the Special Response Fleet's Battleship. And there would be lots riding on her as such.
She hoped she'd be alright, with any luck, the day would be quiet.
