"Ugh, why the hell do we get hangovers!" Molotov complained as she pulled herself out of a chair in Intrepids lobby. Everyone except for Hope, Gato, intrepid and Brisky were there, either sleeping on a couch or chair, or even on the floor. Scylla was the only other person awake, and appeared to be drinking a cup of something out of a teacup, though no steam wafted of of it.
"Morning." Scylla said as she drank the whole cup in one go, then walked over to a tea maker and poured a brown liquid out. again, not steaming.
"Ugh, how are you so chipper? And what is that? Is it good against hangovers?" Molotov asked as she slowly got up, hating herself for getting pulled into drinking the night before.
"I fiddled with the machine until i got it to make decent lemon iced tea." Scylla said as she poured another glass and drank it instantly. "No idea if it's good against hangovers, but it is really good!"
"If it's not good against hangovers why are you so chipper and not hungover!?" Molotov demanded as she walked over and poured herself a cup of coffee from the other machine.
"No idea. i've never been able to get drunk or even buzzed. I blame my slut of a mother's attempt to alter my biology, and the subsequent screw up that was my body!"
"Ugh, lucky i guess. Hangovers suck." Molotov said as she looked around, realizing that everyone who was asleep, and even herself, had had a blanket over them. "Where did the blankets come from?"
"I grabbed them when everyone passed out." Scylla said as she poured another cup of tea and drank it in one go, then did it again. "Should've thought to give everyone a bit of water though, i hear that helps with hangovers."
"It does?" Molotov asked in surprise as she pinched the bridge of her nose, cursing the pounding in her skull.
"Well i've just heard that. never had a chance to test it."
"I'll have to try it." Molotov said with a groan. "What time is it?"
"Um, about nine fourty if that clock is right."
"Nine fo- . . . . . Intrepid is going to kill us."
"Why? she was drinking too?"
"She's like you, doesn't get drunk. like at all as far as i know. And because she's Brisky's second, she always up and about by dawn. We need to get everybody up and clean this place . . . hang on." Molotov stopped as she looked around, seeing no empty bottles or glasses on the tables. " Did you..?"
"Collect the bottles? yes. I also put the glasses in the sink in the next room. I was bored and couldn't sleep, and didn't want to go to my bed when it was pitch black out. If i slipped i'm pretty sure my arm would drag me right down to the ocean floor.."
"I guess so." Molotov said with a grin as she shook her head. "Thank god the union cores filter out blood quickly. Makes me realize how strong that vodka was too, ugh."
"It did say 174 proof on the bottles."
"You're kidding!?"
"Nope."
"Ugh." Molotov Groaned, realizing how much money in vodka they just all consumed. " We need to wake everyone up and get them moving. preferably before that other fleet arrives."
"Oh, right. . . okay. May I?" Scylla said as she pulled an ornamental Shield off the wall with her organic arm, and gestured at it with her metal one. It was clear what her intent was.
"Go ahead, i'm not saving you if someone attacks you for it." Molotov said knowingly.
Scylla Shrugged, and with a grin swung her metal arm, with an open hand, against the gongs surface. The resulting crash reverberated throughout the room going deep into everyone's lungs and spines, and forcing awake even the deepest sleeper, Topeka, who immediately proceeded to perk up and search for the source of the noise. Within a second she was standing ,and slowly walking toward Scylla, a crazy look in her eyes as nanomaterial formed into a half dozen daggers that floated around her.
"What is the point of that infernal racket!? Some of us are trying to sleep peacefully!" she growled as she fully stepped up to Scylla, the daggers moving forward, hovering just away from her body.
"We needed to get up. blame the alcohol and soft chairs." Scylla said with a smile.
"Ugh, Topeka, stop threatening people who wake you up! not everyone will go through the process of tickling your left pinky toe to wake you up!" Mobile said with a yawn, all the destroyer girls watching Topeka to see which way they'd need to run to avoid her morning wrath.
"But-"
"This isnt Santa maria. Loud noise in the morning does not mean danger, calm down." Mobile said calmly.
Topeka nodded, the Daggers returning to nanomaterials, and then shifting to a pair of bracelets on each of her wrists and ankles. " Sorry. i don't like mornings." Topeka said as she stared at the floor.
"Don't worry about it." Scylla said as she poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Topeka.
"Thanks."
"don't mention it, now, who else needs a pick me up?" Scylla asked, nearly everyone putting their hands up.
"You're a scorched earth sociopath, why are you so good with people?!" Molotov asked in exasperation.
"Because everyone here is a friend and ally!" Scylla declared with a smile as she and Mobile began pouring and passing out cups of hot coffee, or ice tea, to everyone.
Molotov let out a groan and joined in, and in just a couple sparse minutes everyone was standing on their own, even if they really did not want to be standing, and a couple minutes after everyone's hangovers were either gone, or had not existed.
"Is everyone awake yet!?" Intrepid called out loudly as she entered the lobby, making some people, especially those with remaining hangovers, to flinch and scowl. "oh, i guess so."
"Yes we're awake. You sending us on Patrols already?"
"No, patrols will wait for now." intrepid said as he stood in the doorway. "we've detected the other fleet about two hours out, so we need everyone to realign their ships positions to make the fleet look organized, then we'll wait and meet them on my flight deck."
Some of the destroyers stifled giggles, making Intrepid let out a sigh.
"That means now." She said as she made a holographic panel with a map of the area, and highlighted area on it with everyone's names. "Move your ships to the designated spots then we'll meet up on deck. also clean yourselves up a bit if possible. some of you look like crap." She finished before turning and leaving the lobby.
" . . . . Well that was a thing." Topeka grumbled in annoyance, pulling out a knife from somewhere and running it along her thumbnail.
"Topeka, you're doing it again." Mobile said with a sigh.
"Huh? oh, sorry," Topeka said as she quickly stowed the knife away. "Ugh, i don't wanna go move my ship. i need to see it at least to move it!"
"Most of us do," Aurora said with a yawn. "we better get moving and get it done already, otherwise Intrepid will come back and start nagging us. . . or teasing us, ugh."
"Ugh, please no, her teasing is a little harsh for this early in the morning. Any other time it's fine." Roe mentioned with a shiver as everyone began heading out to go up to the flight deck.
"fix your shirt Roe." Baku said as she poked her in the back. "You're giving off too much of a view of your bra from your shirt being half off!"
"what? oh, right. What the big deal though? there's no boys around."
"Be that as it may, it is not proper, so please fix it, okay Roe?" Chernova asked in a motherly tone, making Roe grudgingly begin fixing her shirt and skirt without another word.. as Mobile came up to the door at the top of the stairs and grinned slightly to herself as she suddenly threw the door open and held it open, flooding the stairwell with light.
Coming up onto the flight deck everyone found the sky above a clear blue, with not a cloud in sight. the waves were nonexistent, and Brisky's ship was closer to Intrepids than normal. in the distance they could see the shapes of other ships slowly approaching, which kicked Intrepids orders into overdrive. everyone ran to one edge of the flight deck, knowing innately where their ship was in comparison to intrepid, and began giving orders, raising anchors and carefully moving their ships to lower anchors at their new positions. it took roughly half an hour for the chaos to calm down, but everyone had managed to move their ships without any collisions, though a few destroyers came close.
Then it just became a case of waiting for the other fleet, who all must have only been going half speed from how slow they were, to arrive.
Everyone spent it in roughly the same way, forming small groups and either talking, or simply enjoying each other's company until the other fleet finely was close enough for them all to actually start caring.
A moment later both Intrepid and Brisky appeared on the flight deck, setting off everyone to stand up and form a loose line, destroyers on one end, and the cruisers in the middle with Intrepid and Brisky on the other.
Another moment later, Alaska came up onto the deck, slowly moving herself through the use of a pair of crutches, with Hope coming up behind her. The pair then stopped away from the group to the side, staying out of the way.
"So that's her huh?" lake said with interest and worry in her voice. "I wonder what caused such damage that she so need a cast?"
"Buckshot," Scylla said casually, among as couple people look at her, expecting more information and answers.
"And you know this how?' Aurora asked when Scylla did not continue on her own.
"Hmm? Oh, I met her when I went to tell Hope about the girl we picked up. She got caught trying to shoplift and got gunned down by fishermen. She's nice, but she doesn't like the idea of killing or hunting humans."
"Only you, Mobile and Topeka go out of your ways to hunt humans, the rest of us just deal with them if they get in the way." Molotov said instantly.
"No I mean she hates the idea of hurting any of them, even sailors who attack them I think." Scylla explained in more depth.
"That's Stupid!" Topeka said with a huff. "If someone attacks you, you kill them. Why is that so hard to understand?"
"Not everyone wants to kill if it can be helped," Aurora reminded. "I wonder if their fleet does kill missions then?"
"I don't think so. Alaska said something about them normally getting missions to take out buildings and infrastructure primarily." Scylla responded with a shrug.
"I see." Mobile said with a slight smile. "More kills for us then!"
"Here they come!" Intrepid suddenly called as their fleet seemed to stop a half kilometer away, and pair of smaller boats made a beeline away from them and towards intrepid. they disappeared a moment later, before Holopanel's appeared at the edge, clearly the end of a staircase up to Intrepids rather high flight deck.
The first person to come up is a woman who looks to be in her mid thirties who is wearing a straw hat and a red sundress. Behind her was a redheaded woman in jeans and a simple black T-shirt, she also had a rather good build across her whole well toned body. coming up behind the two were a bunch of other girls, all of them anxious looking, with ages ranging from the mid teens to mid twenties by their looks. they all took up positions in a line parallel to Brisky's fleet, but no one moved immediately.
"Language!" Hope suddenly hissed, causing some eyes to focus on her, only to see Alaska hobbling over toward her fleet, eyes glued onto the last person who had come up, who also looked back at her with a similar expression. for a moment the two just stare at each other, until one person pats the girl on the back, sending her forwards right at Alaska, giving her a giant hug while burying her face in her shoulder.
Alaska Responds by dropping her one crutch and hugging the girl back, seeming just as happy as the girl is.
Letting them continue for a moment Brisky let out a sigh and glanced to Intrepid before walking forward, toward the other fleet line. "Let's go introduce ourselves. That is how these bodies are supposed to be used."
"R-right." Intrepid replied with a worried glance at the other fleet before following behind Brisky.
Stopping a couple meters away from the other line, Brisky simply stood for a moment before speaking, directing her words to the sundress clad woman and the redhead beside her. " I am Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya, Flagship of the north pacific Patrol and Acquisition fleet. which of you leads your fleet?"
The redhead steps forward and speaks, gesturing to the sundress clad woman halfway through, "I am the suppression vessel Enterprise. I am the Acting Flagship of this fleet, and this is our Fog Liaison, Portland."
At her name being mentioned Portland steps forward with a small curtsy, a large smile plastering her face. "Hello Oktyabrskaya, it's been a while." She says, her voice soft and lively.
Oktyabrskaya nods, her expression never changing. "It has i suppose. I was not aware you were acting as a simple liaison, instead of leading a fleet."
"Oh, That? I figured I'd put my mentor plugin to use. It's been very laid-back work!" Portland replied happily.
"Very well. You understand what will be expected of you and those you are mentoring then whilst here?" Oktyabrskaya Asked slowly.
"Yes I'm well aware. However, the ships I was mentoring are no longer under my jurisdiction. Their training is done and I have handed them off to Enterprise here for their fleet assignment. I'm simply along for the fun of it!" Portland replied with a smile.
Oktyabrskaya Turned her gaze to Enterprise. "Same question."
Enterprise straightened at the sudden attention. "We will do everything asked of us to the best of our abilities, ma'am!"
Oktyabrskaya Nodded slowly. "Very well. In respect to the reason you are here, this day shall be free to all ships. You are free to move yours ships among our own and speak with whomever you wish. Report to me at 0900 hours tomorrow morning so we may, decide upon patrol schedules for our combined fleet." Oktyabrskaya said stoically as she turned around and took a step away before stopping. "If you have any questions, ask my second in command, Intrepid." She added before walking off, her body disintegrating into nanomaterial and blowing off toward her ship, leaving nothing behind.
"What a hardass." A voice grumbled from the ranks of Enterprise's fleet.
"Eh, it could be worse," Intrepid said suddenly as she took a step forward, proving to have excellent hearing. "I just soured her mood a bit with trying to see if I could get her and Gato drunk last night. It didn't work. Essex class carrier, Intrepid, pleasure to meet you both!"
Enterprise steps forward with a smile on her face. "Come on Cass, you already know me!"
"Erm . . I do? How the hell do you know my old human name?" Intrepid asks, clearly anxious at hearing the name she hadn't used in what sometimes felt like forever.
Enterprise visibly slumps at this. "You seriously don't remember me?"
" . . .No?"
"Oh for the love of pete- it's me, Emily! Your cousin!" Enterprise declared.
". . . . Which side of the family?" Intrepid asked, still not quite remembering.
"Your mother's side." Enterprise said as she pinched her nose in exasperation. " My mom was Krystyn."
"Oh I remember you now!" Intrepid exclaimed in sudden realization as she runs forward and tackles enterprise in a hug, seemingly out of the blue.
"Oh, guess they know each other." Chernova whispered with a smile.
"Right then, I believe introductions are in order!" Alaska suddenly said as she hobbled over to the three of them, the other girl nearly hanging off her shoulder like a leech.
"Uh, who should start?" Intrepid muttered as she looked at Enterprise.
"Is it not proper human etiquette for the hosts to introduce themselves first?" Portland suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I suppose it is," Intrepid said with a smile before calling out. "Alright, everyone down to the lobby!"
Hearing her words the entire fleet smiled and instantly began heading back to the building, and the stairway down, hoping to get comfortable and quickly rearrange the seating in the lobby itself.
Looking back at Enterprise's fleet, Intrepid sees none of them moving, and all of them looking confused. "Ah, right sorry. I have a lobby, a sitting and gathering room inside. It'll be more comfortable to meet and greet there than standing on my flight deck. Don't worry, there are a lot of chairs!" Intrepid then explains with a smile as she points to where to head and promptly leads the way.
As everyone heads down Molotov holds at the doorway at the bottom of the stairs, watching while everyone passes by her. At least until a telling noise came from the stairs and she looked to see Alaska falling down the stairs. "Watch out!" Molotov called out as she moved into the stairwell, arms out to catch her.
And catch her she did!
Alaska opened her eyes slowly, ending up staring at Molotov. "Ouch, thanks for the save." She finally said, tensing a bit as he did.
"You okay?" Molotov asked in a worried tone as she set alaska down against the frame of the door.
"I've seen better days, but I'll be fine." Alaska responded with a half smile.
"Well if you say so. C'mon, everyone will have sat down already and be waiting on us." Molotov says as she walks in and takes a seat close to the door. A moment later, Alaska, the other girl, and Hope come in as well, two of them taking seats that are open near the door, with Scylla seeming to guard it from being taken, while Hope steps up to Alaska's chair and begins looking her over.
"Alright, now that everyone is here and comfortable we can begin!" Intrepid exclaims from her own chair. "For those of you from Enterprise's fleet that didn't hear, my name's Intrepid, her cousin, and the Second in command of this fleet! In order we have Roe and her sister Hammann, both Sims class destroyers. Leningrad class destroyer Baku, and Ognevoy class destroyer Vlastny who is our youngest member. Then we have Molotov, a Kirov Class Cruiser, Mobile and her sister Topeka, Cleveland Class Cruisers. Pensacola class Cruiser Salt lake city, just call her lake." Intrepid took a breath for moment then continued. "Aurora here is a Pallada class cruiser, while Chervona Ukraina is a Admiral Nakhimov class cruiser and takes care of the destroyer girls. And finally, our newest member to the fleet, Scylla, Minotaur class light cruiser! Oh, and the other Fog in our fleet, Gato, is around as well. Somewhere."
Enterprise stands up and looks once around the room as she begins "Alright! As you all have heard I'm the fleet's flagship and carrier Enterprise. You all also know Alaska to some degree I hope, as she's the main reason we're here. Alaska and Guam are my second and third in command respectively." She points to both of us and takes a sip from a glass of what looks like soda. "The new battlecruiser to the fleet is Samoa. Our contingent of heavy cruisers are a bunch of clowns but they get the job done. Helena and Fall River are both Baltimore-class. Astoria over there in the corner is a New Orleans-class, and Augusta is a Northampton-class." she points at everyone as she lists them off, getting nods or waves from some at random.
"The light cruisers are a lovely group too. Cheyenne… Cheyenne where are you?- oh there you are. Cheyenne is a Fargo-class, and she's the mother of the group so to speak. Savannah over there by Guam is a Brooklyn-class, and Juneau is over there hiding behind Helena. She's a Juneau-class cruiser and is also Helena's sister. Oakland is a modified Atlanta-class, and Pasadena is a Cleveland-class, as well as the new girl." pausing to take a drink from her glass before continuing.
"Our destroyers will always have a place in my heart. Probably right next to the dead tissue from every heart attack they've given me. Thank you all for sitting together for once. From left to right we have Hailey, La Vallette, Healy, and Taylor. They're all Fletcher-class. Turner is a Gearing-class, and Samuel B. Roberts is a destroyer escort with a long ass class name. Just call her Roberts and I can guarantee she won't yell at you."
"Hey! You got us mixed up again!" Two of them yell at Enterprise.
"Whoops, oh well. Moving on we have Victoria and Atascosa. Those two are our nanomaterial tankers, and they help us remain combat-ready. Then we have our three LST's, which carry our PT boats during really shitty weather. And last but not least we have our PT boats. I'm not gonna list you guys off because it's too much work. The squadron leader is over there with the cowboy hat. She's nicknamed Lightning, and if electricity starts flying just make sure you're as far away from her as possible."
"Now that I've successfully bored you all half to death, I'm done." Enterprise finished with another drink before she sits down. Within seconds Intrepid's people start pulling out the remaining bottles of Vodka, pouring them into glasses and passing them around to anyone who wants one.
By the door Hope is talking with Alaska, and over at the other side of the room Scylla and Topeka look around, glancing over the arrangement of new ships, their numbers more than they expected.
"So, I couldn't help but notice Alaska glance at you earlier, Scylla right?" Guam asks as she comes over to the two of them.
"Hmm? Oh yeah. This is Topeka, Mobile's sister. She was glaring at me?"
"Glancing, not glaring. she seemed to be worried about you, or fearful. Have you talked already?"
"A little bit, just once yesterday though. I think she's afraid of me." Scylla said as she took a sip from her glass and scowling before putting it under the one tap and pouring some ice tea in with her vodka.
"Scylla mentioned that when she was talking with Alaska she mentioned that your fleet normally does infrastructure attacks, is that right?" Topeka suddenly asked her eyes filled with a strangely predatory glint.
"Y-yeah. Why?"
Topeka seems to grin to herself evilly making Scylla tap her over the head with her metal arm. "Ow, what was that for, that thing hurts!"
"If you get a question you should probably respond to it." Scylla said as she flexes her metal hand, bringing Guam's attention to it.
"Um, is that real? Your hand I mean. It's a glove right?"
Scylla smiled in response, making Guam shiver for a reason she didn't understand. "No, its real. Got my arm and shoulder ruined right before I was inducted, and it couldn't be healed so it was replaced instead. Wanna test it?"
"What do you mean?" She replied nervously. What does she mean by test?
"Hit it, strike it, arm wrestling, that kind of thing." Scylla said with a grin. "I can probably change its shape with its nanomaterials too if I wanted. Haven't tried that though. Maybe I'll turn it into a sword?"
"So it's completely made of nanomaterials then? You can manipulate it?"
"Sure probably, I haven't tried though, what do you think Topeka, sword, rifle?"
"Hammer." Topeka said instantly with a smile as she leaned back against the wall.
"Good idea!" Scylla said with an insane smile as she held out her arm. In seconds it began glowing slight and shifting its shape, mostly in the lower arm. Another second later it had formed into a hammer, but with the head down by her elbow. "Well that's not what I expected." Scylla muttered as she looked over her arm, finding a latch on it. "Oh I made it spring loaded by accident!" She said in realization just as the latch came undone. The spring did its job, and the hammer swung away from her elbow in a broad arc that landed it right on the table, letting out a loud and audible crack that echoed throughout the room, startling many. "Oops"
"Jesus, give someone a heart attack!" Guam swore at Scylla.
"I might have actually. Oops." Scylla said as she heard Mobile called to by Alaska, and saw her run over to a chair near the doors. "Isn't that her sister?"
"Yes. That's not good," Guam notes, before looking back at Sylla and pointed to her side. "Are you okay?"
Scylla looks at her in confusion until she looks over a Topeka, who is wide eyed, shaking slightly, and holding a small dagger into Scylla's metal arm, the blade having slipped between pieces of metal. "Oh I'm fine. looks like I set Topeka off though." Scylla said as she slowly shifted her arm back to normal and then grabbed Topek by both shoulders. "Now what did Mobile say to do if this happened? Oh right! Calm down now Topeka, a loud noise doesn't always mean we're under attack. No one firing at us, there's no need for violence right now yeah? That comes later when we're on missions, okay?"
After a few seconds Topeka stops shaking and her eyes returned to normal. Slowly she move her arm holding the knife and it dissolves into nanomaterial. " I- I'm okay. I'm okay. that just, startled me. Sorry, did I stab you?"
"Little bit, but it just caught my metal arm, so nothing important got hit." Scylla replied with a smile. "Getting rusty?"
Topeka cracked a smirk as she grabbed her glass off of the counter and drank all of it in one go. " Maybe. . . . okay, I'm good now." She said with a content sigh as she looked around and see's her sister crouched down with Alaska by another girl, and Hope nearby. "Looks like I'm not the only jumpy one!"
"Shall we go take a look then?" Scylla asked as Guam was already heading over.
"Sure, why not. I'm kind of curious as to what her jumpiness is from." Topeka said with a slightly cruel grin.
The two of them could already see Guam talking to Alaska and walked over, Scylla talking first. "So, what broke?"
Alaska glares at Scylla with absolutely no remorse for her comment. "As I was saying before you interrupted me, we don't know. The loud noise scared the hell out of her and she froze up. Mobile says she was having some sort of flashback." Alaska explains in an irritated tone.
"Oh, so shellshock basically, that's always fun." Topeka says sarcastically, knowing it far too well for her good, if the scratch on Scylla's metal arm was any indication.
"I believe the proper term is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Regardless, unless it happened right after I joined the Fog then there shouldn't be anything that would be the cause of this." Alaska says surely.
"It may have occurred when she was, enlisted." Hope suggests suddenly, her tone sour. "Sometimes the Fog that catch people are, less than gentle."
"N-no . . .Sis is right. I-it was right after she disappeared." Samoa said with a whimper, Alaska leaning forward and saying something to her. "I-I was on break a few days after you disappeared and… I bent over to grab my wallet from under the counter… something out front exploded . . . .When I got up everyone in the front of the store was…"
"It's alright, you don't need to say anymore." ALaska says as she hugs her shoulders.
"There was blood everywhere…" Samoa begins to weep, setting Scylla off.
"Boom, mashed people." She says with a light chuckle, imagining all the people that ever had bullied and ignored her.
Having been listening in on the conversation up to that point, Chernova gets up and storms over and grabs Scylla's ear. "Alright that's that's enough of that! You may be new, but I will not have you harassing someone when they are having difficulty speaking about something as it is. You're coming this way, now!"
"Ow that's my ear! Chernova that's connected!" Scylla complains as she is led away, feeling like it would be impossible to argue with the motherly cruiser.
Chernova nearly throws Scylla into a chair at the other side of the lobby, and a second later Topeka follows after them, her sister glaring at her until she is away and takes a seat. "That girl is obviously having a bad time. You do not go and push your own ideals and comments on people when they are like that, do I make myself clear!?"
"R-right." Scylla said as Topeka simply nodded frantically.
{You and I are going to have a talk later.} Alaska's voice suddenly echoed in a communication channel to Scylla, making her scowl even more.
"Topeka I expected to make some kind of comment." Lake said from a nearby chair. "She and Mobile are not all there, but at least mobile has her understanding of decency and social skills intact."
"Yes, it appears you don't do you Scylla?" Aurora then asked, sounding like she was scolding her.
"Sure I do, I can talk with anyone, my inner thoughts just leak out sometimes." Scylla responded with a shrug.
Lake, Aurora and Chernova all look at each other and sigh. "Looks like Hope is going to have to do another string of Psych evaluations again, huh?" Aurora says with a sigh, remembering that if one person gets evaluated, the whole fleet does as well.
"Indeed. I had figured she might be a little off from the events and topics of discussion she joined in last night, but I had hoped otherwise." Chernova said as she looked at Scylla. "Let me make this clear. You will not make an such comments to that girl again, and especially not the any of the destroyers, understood?"
"I don't get what is-" Scylla began to say.
