"Am I to drop you off at the Norfolk?" The First mate asked.
"No. Drop us off at the Eagle please. She should be waiting for our return." Shinano said as the moonlight shone dimly across her face.
"You easily drank more than he did, so why is he the one that's nearly conked out back there?" Nimitz asked.
"I am a Kansen, and back home, I routinely joined the other carriers for Sake. So alcohol is no big deal for me." Shinano said.
"But you fell asleep after two cups of vodka." Nimitz said.
"I also control a massive carrier, along with the will of a lot of people. It certainly takes it's toll. But it doesn't help that I actively enjoy sleeping as well." Shinano said as she looked at Nimitz as they turned down the road that led to the port.
"But I don't see Friedrich or Richthofen sleeping like you do. Why is that?" Nimitz asked.
"I wouldn't know. All I know is who I am and why I do what I do. You'd have to ask Friedrich or Richthofen as to why they do or don't do what you'd expect." Shinano said.
"Hmm." Nimitz said as Isaac perked up after seeing the lights of the port come into view.
"Are you awake now, Shikikan?" Shinano asked in her usual quiet tone.
"Yes I am, Shinano. Are we back at port already?" Isaac asked, his words slightly slurred from the drinking earlier in the evening.
"Shikikan, you're still drunk." Shinano said as her tails swayed slowly.
"I'm not drunk." Isaac said as Shinano kissed him quickly, pulling back again, preventing him from getting into it.
"You taste like alcohol, Shikikan." Shinano said as Nimitz grumbled.
"What's the matter, Admiral?" Isaac asked.
"Cathrine's back home in Massachusetts with all four of my kids, and here you are having all of these girls swarming you like moths to a flame." Nimitz said as Isaac smiled.
"A bit jealous, Admiral?" Isaac asked.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't... it also hurts knowing that all five of them are being worked like slaves by the sirens that have the Union in a stranglehold." Nimitz said.
Isaac sat silent for a few minutes as the car pulled around to where the Eagle was docked.
"I can always have someone attempt to extract them." Isaac said.
"And how would you do that?" Nimitz asked, his voice reflecting a small amount of hope.
"Well... I have a few ships stationed in Bermuda. Mutsuki and Akashi being the stealthiest of them all. If they could get to them under the cover of night and get them to a boat... they could escape to the Bermuda base and be sustained until we meet up with them." Isaac said.
"Admiral, let us discuss this more when you are sober. Have Shinano remind you when you get passed the hangover tomorrow." Nimitz said as Shinano opened the car door and helped Isaac out.
"Have a good evening, Chester." Shinano said as she closed the car door. The first mate drove off towards the Missouri as Nimitz sat with a tear in his eye.
"Are you alright, Admiral?" The First mate asked.
"I didn't think there was any hope. I thought they had been lost to me. Admiral Garner just turned that idea on it's head." Nimitz said as they disappeared deeper into the docks.
"Oh my... what do we have here?" Eagle asked as she stood, leaning against her doorframe as Shinano helped Isaac down the Corridor.
"The Union Admiral treated us to drinks." Shinano said as Eagle nodded in acknowledgement.
"Hmm. Well, come in. Come in. I think I have just the thing to help sober him up." Eagle said, her doctor's jacket billowing behind her as she turned.
Shinano helped Isaac inside and closed the door behind them.
It wasn't long before Isaac had been extracted from his shirt and pants and was being 'triaged' by Eagle as Shinano folded her Kimono on the edge of the bed.
"Oh wow. You really did have a bit to drink. You taste of nothing but elderberry." Eagle said as she released his lips.
"Nimitz introduced me to Gin." Isaac said as Eagle traced a finger on his chest.
"I can taste that much... have you heard of moderation, darling?" Eagle asked as Isaac spotted her shoulder peeking out of her jacket.
"Hey Doc, jacket's slipping." Isaac said as he tugged the bottom of the jacket, pulling it from her shoulder.
"Oi! Belligerent tonight, aren't you?" Eagle asked as she reached into the jacket, that was now on the floor. She produced a long, black, strong looking ribbon from the pocket.
"Shinano, would you assist me in pinning the Commander?" Eagle asked as Shinano nodded, slipping across Isaac's midsection, keeping him from moving as Eagle straddled his chest, tying his hands to the headboard.
"Hey now!" Isaac said as he struggled against the ribbon, but found it to be thicker than a usual ribbon.
"Now. How do I punish such a lack of respect for your doctor?" Eagle asked as her hands caressed Isaac's neck.
"I have a few ideas." Shinano said, her voice sounding much more seductive than her usual tone.
Isaac swallowed heavily, realizing it was going to be an even longer night than he anticipated.
Odin walked aboard the Eagle the following morning at the request of Admiral Nimitz.
"Isaac?" Odin called out as she arrived at the captain's quarters onboard the Eagle. She tried the door, only to find it locked.
"Isaac, wake up. We have things to do today." Odin said as she tried the door again. Seconds later, the door opened and she was met by a full frontal from Shinano.
"Woah... jesus... how did you get them that big?" Odin asked as she cupped her own chest, completely distracted by the view of Shinano's rack.
"Hmm? They're quite modest compared to one of my sisters of the Empire." Shinano said softly as she put an arm under her chest.
"Modest... like hell, there's no way." Odin said.
"Kashino is a few centimeters bigger than myself. Hopefully she is doing well." Shinano said softly.
"Anyway, that's not why I'm here. Where is Isaac?" Odin asked as a pleasured moan came from the room behind Shinano
"Oh, darling... I can't believe... you lasted so long." Eagle's voice was heard.
"Ah. You know... I know you don't sleep naked... So I should have figured it would be something like this." Odin said as she rested the tips of her fingers against her temple.
Shinano stepped aside and allowed Odin to see inside, where Isaac was still tied to the headboard as Eagle rested, breathing heavily against his chest.
"Aww... you guys did that to him, and didn't invite me?" Odin asked as the thoughts of her finally overpowering Isaac crossed her mind.
"He's still full of energy, you want to take him, vice Commander?" Eagle asked as she rolled off of Isaac.
"It is so very tempting, but he and I have work to do today." Odin said.
"Aww, come on Odin, you know how much effort it took to get him like this? He's been fighting it all night, but hasn't managed to break out. So I think now would be the best time, don't you think?" Eagle asked, breaking the nearly nonexistent restraint that Odin had.
"Oh, alright. After all, I have to teach my husband to let me know when he's doing something like this." Odin said as Shinano closed the door again after Odin entered.
"Such a naughty thing to do, Isaac. But at least this time, we won't have Norfolk snooping around." Odin said as she disrobed without a care, flinging her uniform off to the side as she approached Isaac.
"Odin... we can talk about this..." Isaac said nervously, knowing that Odin was one of the few who could put him out of commission.
"Oh we'll talk alright, but our mouths won't be the ones doing it, now shut up and let's have some fun." Odin said as the three women descended on Isaac's helpless form once again.
About an hour and a half later, Isaac managed to break out of the room, using his coat to cover himself as he ran to the showers.
"Isaac, come back here! I'm not nearly done with you!" Odin yelled as the three girls laughed in the room behind him.
"They'll kill me one of these days..." Isaac whispered to himself as he turned on the hot shower, washing away the night's sweat and evidence.
"Oh you bet your ass we will. You're just lucky it was me and not Friedrich. She's too occupied being blocked from rigorous activity by Australia. And Nimi was with Norfolk last night, so no worries there." Odin said as the three women took the showers on his left and right sides.
"What will the rest of the fleet think when they see these damn red marks on my wrists?" Isaac asked as he showed them.
"Oh shut it. You had just as much fun as we did. It's your own fault for not coming forward with that concern earlier, like when you were giving Shinano a first hand experience of a rodeo." Eagle said as the girls all allowed the hot water to wash over themselves.
Isaac kept his mouth shut as he finished washing off.
"Yeah, not so much to say now, huh, Kommandant?" Odin asked as she quickly got dressed.
"What's on the docket today?" Isaac asked as he turned off the water and grabbed the towel that Shinano had extended to him.
"We're going to continue the repairs of the fleet, but two of the Bulins, as well as Shinano's Bulins have come forward wishing to begin construction of our ship building projects." Odin said as Isaac got dressed.
"We'll have to start with the I-400 project... I don't have the Siren plating to begin Vengeance's vessel." Isaac said as a horn was heard out in the harbor.
"Who is that?" Isaac asked as he put on his hat and gave Shinano and Eagle a kiss on the cheek before running down the Corridor after Odin.
Isaac made it above deck just in time to see a ship towing several barges into port. The barges were loaded to the brim with scrapped Siren plating that had been cut into neat pieces for transport.
"Did we make a call for a scrapper?" Isaac asked as Odin looked at him, her expression was just as confused as his was.
"I didn't." Odin said.
"I did, last night during dinner." Shinano said softly as she walked out onto the docks, using a towel to finish drying her hair and tails.
"You made a call?" Isaac asked.
Shinano nodded.
"She was passing by and was within radio range, so when I fell asleep at dinner, I sent her a request to pick up as much as she could." Shinano said.
"She?" Isaac asked as a very well endowed woman jumped from her vessel, stumbling a bit before managing to balance herself. Odin felt a sudden air of inferiority as Eagle and Shinano both looked down at their chests.
"How she didn't faceplant, I don't know." Odin grumbled as the woman walked over to Isaac.
"Well met, Commander. I am Kashino, munition ship of the Sakura Empire." The woman said with a bright, innocent smile.
