Arc of the Horizon: A Knight's Journal
11th day of Spring in the Year 20XX
Well, to be honest, I only took up this Journal as a suggestion by my mentor and commander... might as well give it a try.
So where should I start? Oh right, my name. Commander Jaune Arc of the Vale Naval Command. One of the few graduates of Beacon Naval Academy's Special Officer Course. As well as the new Commander assigned to the first ever man-made Island Naval Base, called Juniper Island. Located between the continent Sanus, and the Unexplored and dangerous continent called Grimm...or at least that's what I called it.
The only son out of eight children... yes I have seven sisters, I joke you not. Son to Admiral Jack Arc and 1st Lt. Marie Arc... I guess that's about it really.
And to begin my first day of being in-charge of a base near the middle of nowhere. It was just a regular day really... Just me, being me on a Bullhead alone...dealing with the Arc family curse.
Okay, it was anything but ordinary.
Vomiting upon arrival isn't really the best first impression. Especially in front of a cute girl...or ship girl(heh, they do tend towards the attractive, don't they?). I still wonder why I get easily motion sick from those sorry excuses of a flying death trap called bullheads and not on ships.
After the embarrassing debacle and a secret agreement not to speak of this again, we introduce ourselves. Name ship of the Fubuki-class Destroyer Fubuki, my starter ship girl for my duration as Commander here. In a word plain, that's just it, she just looks utterly plain, yet at the same time she has this aura around her that screams she's special. Green eyes and black hair, with almost pale skin, and dresses in a plain white with blue sailor uniform and blue skirt, she is the epitome of a plain girl. She also like to cheer "Ganbarimasu" a lot often... must be a verbal tic of hers.
After our introduction, she gave me a tour of the base, as well as the rest of the officers and ship girls that are already stationed on the island. First on the list, The Training Field.
A good walk from the Landing Platform was all it took to reach the training field...well, training area. Unlike the bases on the main land where you have a very huge pool for ship girls to train, we use the sea as our playground. There I met two other women. Lt. Pyrrha Nikos, Instructor for Ship girls in land combat and the Katori-class Training Cruiser Kashima.
Angels...well Valkyries if I wanna be specific about it. These two are too kind to exist that I dumbly had to asked them if I was in heaven...and the way they laugh it was like heaven singing...okay that was me being dramatic but seriously for people like them to be under my command it's a blessing...especially after I went to Engineering. Unlike the peace at the Training Area, Engineering was a busy place. Fairies running around carrying materials ten times their size,(*snrk*) others doing maintenance on weapons and so on. Apparently one of two available dry docks where Ship girl construction was being use...Who ordered the construction when I just got here?
There, in all the hassle and bustle, I met my Chief Engineer Nora Valkyrie. There are many thing to describe the girl, sane isn't one of them. Cheerful? Quite so. Energetic? Like you wouldn't believe. Sane? Ha, I don't think sanity is in her dictionary. Our first meeting was how I came to that conclusion, she jumped down from the second floor railings and did a super hero landing(which was awesome) and proceeded to introduce herself as if it was nothing, all the while carrying a warhammer that can be a grenade launcher, her pet project apparently. Now I know why I have Pyrrha, she balances Nora's eccentric personality.
Along with her was the Repair Ship Akashi who is in-charge for Ship girls health and maintenance. She gave me the basic run down on the things I need to know as the commander of the base. Resource for building/maintenance ships and weapons, Dry Docks and Repair Docks. The last two only had two slots each but can be expanded in time... Well at least I know where my first pay check will go to.
After that I ask for the current resources the base has. Which Akashi reluctantly gave to me...with good reason. I had to double take on the resource count...three times, had to look back and forth between the embarrassed Akashi, the slightly guilty Nora, and the currently in-use dry dock. Apparently Nora decided to surprise me with a Battleship, so she secretly ordered the fairies to construct one and Akashi was too late to stop her... Surprise? Yes, but not the surprise Nora was expecting.
I had the tour cut short and decided to call all staff to the conference room ,to which Fubuki gladly guided me. There I met my final officer, Lt. Ren Lie my Communications and Intelligence Officer and his assistant the Ooyodo-class Light Cruiser Ooyodo. We gave each other a curt nod before the rest of the officers arrived, Nora and Akashi were close behind me, then followed by Pyrrha and Kashima.
I told them what had happened and to my surprise they only just sighed, apparently Nora's antics are too common to them and too use to it that they knew how to deal with it… take a deep breath and move on.
While the Battleship will take six months to complete Akashi offered to accelerate the construction so that it can be finished by the end of the week. While Ren can send a request form to HQ and ask for additional resources, which should also reach the base by the end of the week as well. With the shortage solved, I might as well request HQ to expand both dry docks and repair docks to full capacity. If this is what my stay here will be like, might as well prepare for the worst...Nora or Enemy alike.
I also asked how long a construction for a Destroyer will take and Akashi said it would take at most a week to finish one but if I request for accelerated construction, if I order one today with the only available dry dock it'll take until tomorrow morning so I ordered two constructions for Destroyers to happen one after the other. Sure, it will hurt what remaining resources I have, but since we are ordering more resources within the week rather than wait for the monthly delivery and expeditions are out of the question, I might as well use my savings I had stored in my account.
I could feel my wallet screaming in agony right now as I fill out all the paper work need for the request we will do.
I am not regretting writing this out, it kinda relieves quite a few stresses. I just pray no one will know this exists...MOST especially Nora.
Jaune Arc writing off.
AN: Yes I know, its another Older Jaune Fic. Its a running theme on my stories. Older and more Mature Jaune. Don't worry about that I swear people have already told me that I still keep my Jaune in character... most of the time. Joke. To those unfamiliar with the names of the girls of Kantai Collection. There's a wiki page about them or do you want me to describe them as an addednum in my AN let me hear your thoughts!
Anyway Read and Review and Happy Holidays
