The Commander stood in shock at the Kansen before him. He had heard of the Olympic Class before, or at least he had heard of the middle sister. But now here standing before him was the name ship of the class herself. There was only one slight problem. The Olympic wasn't a warship, she was a passenger liner. She was built for luxury and comfort when crossing the icy Atlantic. This created quite the dilemma for the young Naval officer. He genuinely had no idea what to do with the situation at hand.
Enterprise, who had quickly recovered from her shock, nudged the Commander with her elbow shaking him from his thoughts. He took a deep breath before replying. "A pleasure to meet you Lady Olympic. I am Commander James Wilson, head of the Eagle Union forces stationed here at Pearl Harbor. This is my secretary, Enterprise. I'd like to apologize for my shock there, I was simply not expecting an ocean liner to be summoned as a Kansen."
Olympic simply shook her head with a small smile. "It's quite all right Commander. Now seeing as this is a military instillation I would assume that you have orders for me?" She asked with a tone suggesting that she had military experience prior to this.
James went to respond when he was cut off by Enterprise. "Before we get to that I would like to inform you that you won't be staying here at Pearl, Lady Olympic." Upon seeing the confusion on both Olympic and James' faces she elaborated further. "Since the wisdom cubes generate random Kansen it is required that all foreign Kansen be sent back to their home fleet unless we are given specific orders from said fleet to keep them. Now it's possible you could come back here on some deployment but likely you will be kept at HMNB Devonport."
Olympic brought her hand up to her chin in a thinking pose. "Hmm, I see. And when would i be leaving?" She asked glancing at James before returning her attention to the carrier in front of her.
"Tomorrow morning," came the reply. Olympic looked downright shocked. Seeing this Enterprise continued. "We already have a rotation of Kansen going to Devonport tomorrow morning. Some Union and the rest are Royal Navy returning to base so you'll be in good company."
The Commander turned back to his secretary. "Why wasn't I informed of this, Enterprise?"
"It should have been in the file that was given to you on your flight here Commander. Didn't you read it?" The lack of a response told her all she needed to know. Sighing she ran her hand down her face. "What am I going to do with you? In any case, Lady Olympic, let's get you to the Royal dorms for the night and meet back here at 0830 tomorrow morning so we can get you underway."
The journey across base to the dorms was an uneventful one. It was late enough that most of the Kansen had already turned in for the night. Arriving at the dorms Enterprise gave Olympic her key and sent her on her way while James excused himself and went to his quarters. Enterprise took one last look at Commander Wilson's retreating figure before shaking her head and heading to the Union dorms herself.
Hi so sorry for the delay but it takes a little bit longer for a concussion to heal if it's not your first one. This just so happens to be my fifth. Anyway, I'm going to try and start uploading more frequently after this. Sorry for the short chapter. I would also like to thank all of you for the kind word regarding my situation. Thank you so much and stay safe.
