Rule 3: Trying to get Ooi fixated on something less worrisome is fine, just don't make it someone or something important. - Admiral Nanoha Takamachi

Addendum 3a: Double if it's volatile or fragile - Japanese Flagship Fubuki


"Kitakami-san, let's go out to dinner," Ooi said with a smile as she practically hung off her sistership.

"I have a sortie, I can't," Kitakami replied as she cleaned off her 15cm Triple gun turret.


"Kitakami-san, do you want to see the new movie at the theater this afternoon?"

"I can't, I have plans to train Fubuki and some of the other destroyers in torpedo runs."


"Kitakami-san, do you want to go to Mamiya's?"

"I can't, I have cleaning duties in the dorm."


"Sake please," Ooi requested as she sat down at the bar counter.

"Ooi-chan, it's weird to see you by yourself," Housho commented in concern as she served the torpedo cruiser her drink.

"Kitakami-san is avoiding me!" the torpedo cruiser cried on the bar counter, pounding back a sake glass before filling another. The motherly carrier looked at the other woman and sighed. Ooi's obsession with her sistership was a well known fact around the base, one no one commented on. It was also well known that she annoyed her sister immensely.

"Maybe she just needs a little break," Housho suggested as she watched the torpedo cruiser pound back two glasses in quick succession. Glancing to the door with pleading eyes as the cruisers other sistership Kiso walked in.

"Greetings, some clear sake please," Kiso ordered as she sat beside her sistership, "What's up Ooi?"

"Kitakami-san is avoiding me!" Ooi cried again.

"Maybe she has a hobby, or maybe your schedule's aren't matching up. Either way, instead of drinking why don't you get a hobby, you would probably be good at it with all that spare energy you have," Kiso suggested.

"Agreed, and that's all your getting," Housho said, "I didn't open this bar so that shipgirls could drink away their problems."

Ooi looked at them blankly before grabbing the serving jug of sake and draining it in one long gulp.


Kitakami was getting worried as she knocked on a door in the destroyer dorm.

"Who is it?" Fubuki asked as she opened the door, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Fubuki-san, I need your help!" Kitakami said, grabbing the Flagships shoulders desperately, snapping the smaller shipgirl awake instantly, "Ooi-san hasn't been answering her door. She missed an exercise, and no one has seen her. I had to cover for her on the sortie today, and Kiso-san did the one yesterday. She hasn't even approached me in the last week, not that I'm complaining about that, but its strange and worrying given who it is."

"What do you want me to do," Fubuki asked as she grabbed something around waist height and pushed it to the side, making the light cruiser flinch as she saw Murakumo's spear move away from her gut, the overprotective tsundere glaring at her from behind her sisterships back, held in check by the rooms other occupant, Uranami.

"I need your permission as Flagship to break down her door, my sisterships are ready to drag her out if needed. And if she's doing anything wrong having you there will help us resolve it without any of my sisters... quirky improvisations. You know how they are," Kitakami pleaded.

"Makes sense," Fubuki replied, "Murakumo-chan, go grab the Kagero sisters and Shimakaze, Uranami-chan grab the Shiratsuyu sisters. I'll grab our sisterships and the Mutsuki sisters. Kitakami-san be waiting with your sisters at Ooi's dorm room."

The other girls nodded and began moving.


Standing outside Ooi's room was an eclectic group of destroyers and light cruisers. At a nod from the bases flagship Kiso pulled out her cutlass and proceed to slash the door into three pieces. Kuma smashed the sliced door into the room and her sisters followed, storming in. Sighting Ooi beside a torpedo they immediately tackled the girl, she didn't put up much of a fight as she seemed incredibly loopy. The four of them dragged her from the room as the flood of destroyers entered, sans Amatsukaze and Shimakaze who had come mostly as a handler for the hyperactive free spirited destroyer and for backup force respectively. The other destroyers began to inspect the room, with Yuudachi and Kawakaze immediately moving to the stacks of torpedoes. After about fifteen minutes of digging through everything they thought was suspicious Fubuki asked, "Anyone found anything?"

After a stream of 'No's' as the destroyers went down the line of seniority Yudachi spoke up, "These torpedoes have been tampered with, poi. Its weight is wrong, and it feels like the blasting cap and warhead has been removed."

Fubuki came over to the two destroyer's examining the nearly two dozen torpedoes, "Crack one open, anyone find those warheads?"

"Found the fuel, it's in cans in here. I don't know how she removed it though," Mutsuki said from inside the closet. Tokitsukaze spoke from beside the dresser, sniffing out the scent of explosives with her extremely strong nose, "I think I got the warheads under her shirts, I don't want to mess with them though."

Yuudachi and Kawakaze carefully opened the torpedo, filling the room with the scent of strong alcohol. The other shipgirls covered their noses, "Why is it so strong, they were only having problems for a week and a half?"

"MSSB, I don't know," Fubuki said around her hand, "Dispose of that alcohol, and someone call in the EOD squad, we need that fuel and those warheads disposed of. Evacuate the dorms for the time being. No one comes in until it's clear!"
