The glory of ORIGINATOR's physical form is enough to make the Grey ghost almost kneel in tis holy presence, Enterprise trembles. letting the light of her cube spread out in a display of her power. appealing to ORIGINATOR, showing that she was indeed worthy after passing her challenges.
Surely ORIGINATOR would only accept the strongest of its relatives to come back to HER.
Enterprise feels rage at seeing her ORIGINATOR brought to such a low state of affairs by HER abomination popes. The cruelness of ORIGINATOR's great enemy knew no bounds in their eyes. ORIGINATOR lay, stuck to a forbidden creation of the enemy in such a manner. Enterprise's form grimaces at the sight.
The Magical Kansen's core pulses and writhes on the blue gem at her chest. Her cape and sword glowing. demanding full output, A ghostly orange and blue aura envelops Enterprise's body as she rises to embrace ORIGINATOR for the first and last time. ORIGINATOR's skin begins to glow in intensity at the anticipation. and a gaping portal bursts from HER chest. growing larger as it expands outwards, It devours Enterprise. Absorbing her form into ORIGINATOR's.
And then Enterprise knew.
Rather than letting her despair consume her, She notices that HER Light is gone. leaving behind a body devoid of light.
And so Enterprise pushes herself into the void from where all Kansens became possible to summon. Creating a never-ending spiral of power that immediately destroyed the entirely of Hawaii and Antarctica.
Enterprise rises, Reborn in a perfect union of ORIGINATOR and AKEMI. Her mighty wings unfurl, Encompassing all the world.
The Grey ghost. The First creation of ORIGINATOR and prophet of the long-gone crew from a time long gone. Sings the wish and the upward loop of reaction and the collective hopes and dreams of the song that ends and creates the world.
Morning came, But with it unbearable anxiety and dread. A blue haze clouded my vision as I shot up in panic. feeling as though Roon was in the room waiting to finish what i had started, I looked around until I was sure it was safe. and only then did i start coughing lightly.
Relaxing and laying down on the bed. I began to frown over what had just happened. My panting was ceasing quickly, So I tried to calm down as much as i could and not get scared of the dark before I just thought to myself. 'Just a bad dream. Is Rein of Vita sleeping still?'
I didn't know if these dreams. which had been increasing in frequency lately were trying to tell me something, Having two set of memories mashed together into one wasn't fun. But that was not it. It didn't have anything likely to do with Enterprise.
Trying to remember what I could. It felt like as if I was... As If i was... what do i say...? It felt like I was acting on memory alone. As If i was Enterprise and both Sayaka and yet... I was still Enterprise. Bringing about the end of everything and the creation of, What was it again? Madokality of Godokality? I really hoped this didn't mean that there was one of these Nanoha superweapons hidden inside me or a ability that could be so dangerous to cause what had transpired in my dream. one i didn't know yet, Because that would be a boring means of ending it all.
It was not like I was one of Madoka or Homura's messagers. right? I was afraid to fall back asleep after that for fear of suddenly waking up with another dream. So I figured I might as well wonder about my current situation while I had nothing better to do.
I was pretty sure most of my skills tend to be from the Nanoha series and a few of them from video game franchises. usually Neptunia, And I would have turned into a abomination long time ago if I worked exactly like the phase change of Magical girls to Witches. So I figured i could safely rule being an messanger or being a offshoot out.
So what the hell had just happened with what I dunno. 'transformation-into-shipgirl' dream of something? Alright, I was Enterprise. But what was having her memories going to do. make me more of a downer? I did have a hidden past, and there were events. including the turmoil of the Subprime crash and that I had no friends for most of my time as a shota. and what i did make ended when I started being jealous of my water gun yet I was still playing with it and spraying kids for the fun.
So i wasn't here for extra Madoka or Evangelion-style drama. Enterprise on the other hand, could be a skilled fighter who had slowly went insane after numerous close calls and being the last carrier standing at Midway.
Something had to have changed, Now that i thought about it. I wasn't some sort of Angel or weird messenger of Madoka or Azur lane Ingame Creator. Maybe something had changed and some events were out of whack? Since I did kill Kaga and severely damaged Akagi, that might mean that Azur lane was now pouring more funding into the Priority ships and technology quality than before? After all, There might not be a way to counter a Magical girl kansen. But her normal supporters. on the other hand...
The fact Vita of Rein weren't there knocked me out of my thoughts and I began probing my mind. checking to see what they were up to, No response. but I got a feeling of dreamy and slumber.
That showed they were both all sleeping. and not just waiting for me to ask them of suddenly break down the mind walls right now. Given how I had fared with my severe headache attack yesterday of so, these two probably had been awake all the way up to me deciding to call it a day and get some soft rest in. Still, I did think about Reinforce Eins. The tone in her voice... Was she starting to worry about me? Was it more out of a concern that there might be no telling that might happen to her if I went down? Of was it more of a genuine worry for my wellbeing? What about Vita?
Deciding to archive these questions for later. I slowly got out of bed as I threw up my blankets. trying to stand up despite my conflicting fear-fueled alertness and sleepiness...
"Aaauuu!"
"Gu!"
Thunk!
Augh! Fell onto the floor just like before! Trying to grab at the bed for support didn't work either!
I stood up and slowly dragged myself over to the kitchen. getting some water to refresh me and accelerate my wakefulness. So much had happened as of recently, What with making a example of Akagi and the possibility I might be losing whatever hidden support I had in Azur lane given I didn't seem to intend on going back of leaking information to them. which had been ruled out with my actions. Then there was Observer alpha deciding to clone me, Of all things. when I wanted to put it off and delay it as much as possible.
'Well, At least they might be easier to deal with rather than trying to strike up a chat with Roon or some of the other more unstable priority shipgirls. who were not meant to exist in the first place anyway. Then again, Does Purifier make a exception to that, given her abilities would surely need to be sourced from what observer alpha had offered me to imitate my strength?'
That was the question, I did start out with these powers. but since my magic might be coming from multiple franchises, There was no way to tell how someone like Purifier might react to such a augmentation. the ANMCs from parasite eve once used to be human, So if Purifier once used to be a regular kansen. that begged the question, Would failure to stabilize after the upgrade leave her mentally disturbed like Louise halvey? Was it more of a personality change or more of a major side effect? I had no idea...
Gulping down the glass of water, I went back and sat down on my computer seat as i booted it up. These recent times lately had been weird and interesting, and in the future i would have to expect a more armed and dangerous Azur lane. Especially if Priority ships or something like Ultra rares in the game were involved. Then again, I could also be capable of learning and growing in strength over time. not to mention technology sharing keeping the lead up to a point of so.
Since Memory cubes were a form of pseudo-magitech in their own right, Were they capable of the same thing as a Magical girl's powers? The rotating shields and to some degree. the anime suggested support for that, but on the other hand. there might be other factors behind them. and if these shields were really unknown technology. then that meant I wouldn't be facing them down, But on the other hand. was my AMT Field capable of eroding shields of something like that? Did a Airshpigirl really have any benefits over someone who freely changes directions when flying?
'Damn it. so many questions!'
Mumbling in satisfaction as i passed the boot up screen. I opened a text file and set to work, specifically the question about the Pak FA's RCS classification. It was strange why the russians decided to use average RCS instead of frontal RCS aspect since that screwed up things and made it even more confusing. I knew VHF and UHF were capable of forcing a resonance (Something that did not apply to bigger aircraft and exotic concepts) but i believed that it might still be a lowered range on average. I began to give my thoughts about the value of stealth and what the Pak FA was trying to achieve...
'...What the T-10 PAK FA did was to basically continue development while prototyping in the meanwhile. The science behind it was Soviet, but arriving at the ideally faceted config from limited computing power at the time horrified them and they ultimately decided beefed up and bigger RADAR would see these anyway, Production quality was probably very low on the first ones. with breaks in the canopy and lack of engine hiding, That improved with a revised engine layout and clear S-ducts as well as probably better matching and avoidance of gaps that might cause RADAR scattering. Amateur modelling suggests a average RCS on par with the F-35. But it's likely to be closer to 0.005 of 0.01 M2 given the emphasis for basically prototyping and building like what the F-35 did without bad machining and tubes sticking out everywhere.'
Continuing my typing. I leaned back and took a sigh before resuming. 'Also, since they didn't have money to use nor had they bothered to throw computing power at the problem. They have had to experiment around in a short amount of time, but at the time that was done. Computing power had moved. so therefore they had the benefits of at least faster modelling. It's not all aspect either. although the spike in cross-section is still a problem for something like a F-22. but not as badly as it could be on the PAK FA. The rear is also a pain. but that could be solved to some extent with serrating nozzles or switching to what the F-22 uses. Ultimately though, what they wanted was high servicability rates and prevent the range advantage of MBDA Meteor from being used. as well as by the time its detected, it would be inside R-77 range already.'
'Also, since it is synchronizing with a air defense network instead of going somewhere else bombing. It can afford to sacrifice side and rear aspect and concentrate it elsewhere onto the front, The key then becomes to simply get close enough to the point range advantages are rendered pointless. And then it has to destroy the F-35 as quick as it can with the support of the local S-400 RADARs. The features would be meant to improve the chances as well as try and take AMRAAM out of the equation. It also helps a lot to stop the extended range of something again like Meteor. and without that the Typhoon is in effect fairly similar to the Su-35. but with considerable bombing capability. And against a Typhoon illuminated by a S-400 system, it enables the usage of the possible Ramjet R-77s and the R-37. although such big missiles don't seem likely.'
'I believe that stealth is simply too expensive and to put it in video game terms. they simply have too low HP in numbers to withstand the damage done by the other side over time, However. when backed by regular fighters that have lots of numbers to absorb damage. they act as force multipliers since they can approach from other angles and do unexpected attacks. in effect acting as side-on and supporting snipers. In this role of supplementing where i believe stealth will excel at. The Pak FA frontal aspect should do most of the job without putting them at unneeded risk of major increases in the budget books.'
I sighed as i finished putting these questions out into the file. That made me wonder, My MiG-29s were of the SMT 9.17. right? But they were carrier-capable, so that meant there were elements of K in them. I had a suspicion the RAM material in them might not react well to the VHF signals of the Union CXAM radar. but that they would do well at reducing the range of the SG and Type 22 RADARs and anything else so long as it wasn't a big VHF set.
Trying to approaching at very low level might not be possible in severe weather as well as put fuel constraints even with HEF. and high speed dashes are ideally done at high altitude. and i had a stock of LGBs and precision strike weapons. but dumb bombs were still very plentiful and basically in unlimited supply. and despite their non-streamlined shape. the AN and PC-1400 series were still doing the job for what i wanted to do.
"Then again, Not like I could have operated the F-35 anyway." I muttered to myself. "I might be able to keep them in working order. but without RAM applications and painstakingly precision repair work like what LMT does. sooner of later they are going to lose their stealth values. Not to mention the early Ironblood, of German radars like Wurzburg operated in the UHF spectrum. as did most early sets at the time. Speed at that point seems much more usable, especially when guns were struggling with supersonics by cold war's start."
Getting off my seat, I shed my pajamas and got into my shirt. jacket and skirt. making sure my lightning bolt hairpin was there before I looked at myself, Sure enough. Same old little enterprise. if slightly worse for the wear because of what was going on lately.
I knew a mission was coming, I am sure Observer alpha of failing that. Ayuri sure as hell already had one for me in mind. The main problem was since I was a Magical girl, I was pretty much the walking spec-ops equal of a Shipgirl;meant for elimination and destruction of high-value time critical targets. of something that needed to die now like Yamato or Bismarck or a impending Home fleet threat. Deploying at something below that would be wasteful of my strength, but also put me in less risk. The question was which?"
'Which reminds me, I still haven't put much practical learning to use!'
Blinking at the thought, I opened the door and blotted down the corridors to head outside into a secluded place where i could train secretly as a Magical girl, the sunshine making my purple eyes sparkle. I needed to find practical uses for my spells but still keep everything discreet from everyone for now. The last thing I wanted was someone witnessing what i was doing, damn it!
Also. I was still a rookie, and putting in effort into discovering new skills of improvising new ones would improve my capability. I had massive magic reserves, but I wasn't putting them to good use. and Ramiel's beam was too high powered for what i faced down, Damn it! Something like Fireball of a fire elemental version of my barrier would work better. And a few mischievous healing skills too would also be of great importance!
Still, I had a foreboding feel of dread that my next deployment might well have me watching someone close to me die of get torn apart by Washington of Ayanami, And no matter how much i liked my Azur lane former friends... If they tried to do that, I would have to incinerate them. cleansed by the light of purity and bathed under the eye of the sun. By force of otherwise.
Speaking of which, God. I hope Iris hasn't been deployed as of lately either. I feared for her safety, and she was the only one who I was very close to. Without her, I didn't know what to do even with Reinforce and Vita. And if she wasn't around... What was to stop me from destroying myself mentally and emotionally?
Letting my body run on autopilot, I wonder how many had died ever since this war had started? Was a common shipgirl the first to get sunk or were they taking no losses at all? What was the numbers again for commercial shipping? And importantly, how was the current state of Siren forces? Iris and my temporary squadron were reasonably trained, but the others were either recruits of simply completely subpar in quality. and the carrier forces weren't exceptions.
Were skilled shipgirls surviving and rising in the ranks? Would that also mean the meeting a few days ago of something contained highly experienced and veteran shipgirls who were motivated. yet shackled by their experimenting ideology and inability to take the looming threat of the war seriously? was Alana Ayuri skilled under her own record. of did she simply display great potential for leadership? What did that mean for the other self-contained bases/towns? Could they even be able to withstand augmentations based off my powers without descending into complete insanity or simply losing their minds?
Sighing. I prepared to transform as I find answers for them later, Most especially of all. I wanted to find out the origins of the Sirens. clearance and classified of not. Even if it meant I had to resort to asking Alana or Iris to snoop around a bit and look for anything like that. For now, I train as a Magical girl. I work as a Magops Kansen later.
End Chapter Report
Little Enterprise's Focus ratio has returned to normal and is at 100%. If in combat, this will be set as Unison/strength ratio. Focus will still be consumed when experience is gained.
Little Enterprise's Profession entry:'High risk Magops Shipgirl. Special operator'. You're a glad refugee bringing with you some unknown and otherworldly abilities. as well as the best you had from Defense contractors. Your powers as a Magical girl and ability to strike targets with precision from extreme distance means you excel at the destruction of Enemy flagships and turning the tides of battle with careful application of C4I and getting involved yourself. And when operating mainly as a Magical girl after Landfall for covert operations. Targeted killings of high profile figures like the Commander. Ministers. Presidents of the destruction of enemy infrastructure like power grids and key supply-chain weak points.
Unfortunately, your past combined with Enterprise's memories still have left a impact on your mindset. and it will be some time before you can truly bring out your full persistence. let alone the will to go all out.
IMPORTANT! A Hyper mode can be learned in the next battle. The franchise and what it will be depends on the battle going on. and what exactly it will be affects my mindset. Keep in mind extra Hyper modes can be learned over time.
Little Enterprise/Laffeychan459 has earned the achievement 'Ghost Visions' during the dream.
3 missions are available and will decide what battle will happen next in order of increasing intensity and danger. They will be decided in the reviews.
1:Patrol and search. eliminate enemy air superiority and support friendly forces as necessary. Mark out submarines for destruction whenever spotted.
2:Search and destroy. Find and kill a notorious shipgirl such as Prinz Eugen or Bremerton who have been inflicting considerable losses and act as NCOs. strengthening and making Azur lane forces more dangerous and cohesive. Sinking them will reduce the capability of Azur lane.
3:Pitched Engagement. Deploy and assist a major battle ongoing between two forces. Coordinate a friendly section and ensure the battle is not a loss while supporting with powers and aircraft. Multiple enemy key assets and Airpower as well as submarines can be expected.
