As I looked into the sky noticing the accented clouds after walking out of the High command building for UNODHK (United Nations Organized Defense for HumanKind, Pronounced U-NO-DAHK, or UNO-DAHK).
My name is Hikomi Kyousuke, age 25, I am (or was) an officer for the JMSDF (Japanese Maritime Self Defense force) and have just accepted an offer from the Fleet Admiral for a position in the Kanmusu Defence Force. You are probably wondering, What is the Kanmusu Defense Force, what is UNODHK, ETC.
In the 2032, a mysterious hostile force of what we call UF-03472 (Now called Abysmal ships as an alternative to the codename, and is almost always used when referring to them unofficially.) Attacked a weapons research lab in Okinawa. Shortly after, attacks on Naval Bases in Shikoku and Kyushu occurred, from the same force. About two weeks later after the attack in Kyushu, an attack occurred against Pearl Habor by the same force, then in Shanghai, then the Philippines (you get the point). After the attack in the Philippines, a branch of the UN was founded for the purpose of defending against and possible erradication of these mysterious attackers, called the UNODHK, funded mostly by Japan and the United States. On May 3rd, 2033, the annoucement of the creation Kanmusu Defense Project took place and was presented to the public. The goal of Kanmusu Defence Project was to create a weapon more suited to destroying and eradicating the threat of the Abysmal Ships. These weapons were called Kanmusu, artifical intelligent feminine humanoid androids who inherited the souls of Japanese WWII ships, who were capable of high maneuverability and were capable of carrying Speciallized deck guns and AA guns to fight the Abysmal ships, of course there was outcries against them being so Humanlike, using the souls of Japanese WWII ships, but most of the resistance against their use, design, appearence, etc, died out when the reports of how effective they were on their first deployment against the Abysmal Ships. At this point most of the world was focused on the Pacific Theater.
It is now 2035 and we are still fighting against the threat of the abysmal ships and I have now been appointed as a Rear Admiral of the Kanmusu defense force. Many of the Admirals of the Kanmusu defence force are quite young and are chosen due to their qualities, myself included, as commanding the Kanmusu girls requires a great amount of flexibility due to their intelligent nature. I have been assigned command of the 2nd Regiment of the Kanmusu Defence force.
"Admiral, huh?" I spoke to no one in particular.
I reminisce about what the Fleet admiral told me.
"Son, you know why I invited you to my office?"
"To offer me a position? A promotion, Sir?
"Thats right on point, Lieutenant."
"Now you're probably asking yourself: 'Why on earth was I, a Lieutenant of the JSDF, asked to come to the Fleet Admiral of the Kanmusu Defense Force's office?'. Well to that question, I have the answer, and you're gonna like it. As of recent years, though technically still a branch of an important international organization, the UNODHK was left more and more in the hands of the Japanese, as we've been affected by most of the attacks from UF-03472 since day one and we provide a third of the funding to the organization. As such, many of the Admirals of the Kanmusu Defence Force are Japanese. Recently, one of our rear admirals have been killed in an attack on the naval base stationed on the Island of Nikumaroro."
"Isn't Nikumaroro a part of some island tribe or something?"
"It used to be until it was bought by the UNODHK with the intent of establishing a base against the Abysmal ships. Also fun fact, many believe it to be the final resting place of Amelia Earhart after their plane ran out of fuel. Also in case you're wondering, it was a tough fight to build in the first place due to conservation groups going batshit crazy over the place being virgin to civilization, but we made an agreement of move as much as the flora and fauna out of the place to other habitable areas, when the attacks made it all the way down to latin and south America and escpecially the west coast of the US mainland, a lot of the flak against building there lessened."
"I see..."
"Anyway, cutting to the point, we need a rear admiral to take the place of the late Mikori Teru, we read your file and you seem qualified for the job, would you be interested in taking the postion?"
"I've been wanting to get a job defending humanity all my life, its always been a fantasy of mine to defend the great of humanity against invaders."
"Consider your prayers answered, you transfer over in two day, pack your bags, welcome to the UNODHK."
"Thank you, sir"
"You're dismissed."
I rise from my chair and turn for the door. Just as my hand reaches the handle, I hear the Admiral speak up.
"And one more thing."
"Yes sir?"
"Good luck"
"Thank you, sir."
And here I am, standing outside of the KDF High command building based in Tokyo, looking forward to the life ahead of me.
Little did I know, how crazily this War would end for me, and the sheer shit I would be stepping into by the end of all this.
