FBC_Reporter: Morning has kicked off to an EXPLOSIVE start, with the FIRST MAJOR CLASH of the Verusan Entente's war with the SSF! Hot on the FRONTLINES, the Entente's major offensive collided with a stalwart FEDERATION DEFENSE! Though outnumbered, the line was held. But with the WAR JUST BEGINNING, the frontlines lay in the swinging waves - WHICH WAY WILL THE WAR GO? This has been Cormorant, signing off!

FBC_Reporter: Readers be advised! Due to the present circumstances not all details will be shared as per Federation OpSec! Viewership may also be affected! Stay tune for more details!

VLTR: Worked our butts off for that win yeah!
Buzzard: Don't let the success get to your head. We still have much work to do.
Buzzard: By the way, don't forget to filter what you post.
VLTR: Cmon you know me.
VLTR: Win's a win. Can't fault me for feeling good can I?
Buzzard: All the more reason for me to remind you. Loose lips sink ships, after all.
FBC_Reporter: Really appreciate the attention this is getting. Got tons of good shots back there, can't wait to move past the editing board!
FBC_Reporter: Now I need a good title for a documentary to cover this conflict.
Buzzard: Let's think about that once we're in the clear.
REPORTER_AOBA: Ooh, what I wouldn't do to sink my teeth into this story!

Mobius1: Allow me as representative of the Delta Coalition to extend my best wishes to those caught in the embroiling war on the other side of the world. May those who fight do so with peace in their hearts and may those who raise their hands against one another one day shake those with former enemies.

BBet: And as head of the Silver Star Federation maritime defense forces, you have my gratitude.
Halcyon_SSF: As her aide, I appreciate the kind words. This war will certainly take its toll on us all before a conclusion can be reached.
AfternoonTTime: They certainly do. Stay strong in mind and the body will follow.
AfternoonTTime: …Alternatively, a good cup of tea will help.
BBet: I need weapons and soldiers, not simple brews.
Halcyon_SSF: Well it can't be too much to have all three.
AfternoonTTime: Most certainly.
BBet: This is war, not a tea party. Get our priorities in order.
BBet: In the meantime, excuse us Mobius1. I have a war to attend to.
Mobius1: Good luck.
Mobius1: Meanwhile, Tea Time and I have peculiar ghosts to stamp out yet again…

Halcyon_SSF: AfternoonTTime, your recommendations if you please.

AfternoonTTime: As a long-standing maid, I personally advise the likes of fine Sotoa black or milk tea, Foulker's red tea with a helping of milk for added sweetness, and Count Blue alpine tea.
AfternoonTTime: My master Fort Grace particularly has a fondness for hers with mint and a pinch of sugar.
Halcyon_SSF: AiryRobin, if you will.
AiryRobin: DELIVERY! Five tonnes of Sotoa tea, Foulker tea, Count Blue tea, and green mint tea with sugar! Enjoy the drinks! Puffin, out!

Cleveland Knight: #AzurLane #StuckInStrangereal Hey everyone. How're you all holding up?

NO1Sandiego: Sunny as ever! Being able to talk over on Juustagram/Guundergram really livens my mood!
Javelin: could be better ;~; anyone got the license of what hit me? QQ
Belfast_inService: Busy as usual. Even in moments like this, a maid never forgets her duties.
Cleveland Knight: Suppose it's still business as usual for you. Gotta keep that chin up, right?
Belfast_inService: Absolutely. Things may look bleak right now but persevere and we will see the light in the end.
Enterprise: We've been through worse. We'll pull through.
Cleveland Knight: I'm just glad my sisters got back home when they could…
Javelin: they're a right bunch! Don't worry!
Belfast_inService: Warspite and I know that Our Majesty will remain strong even without us. They too will persevere so that we may meet again once this debacle ends.
Enterprise: I have faith that Saratoga can manage Eagle Union by herself.
Javelin: oh right! Got Brooklyn with me rn =D she's saying hi!
NO1Sandiego: Hii!

ThassyReviews: Ah, nothing better than another day of eText and chill.

ThassyReviews: Today's literature of the day is "The Two Heavens", a tale of a seabird and her journey across the oceans and stars that will take her to new places and in the process realize something about the world.
ThassyReviews: After reading it recently, I will give it my seal of approval with the rating of Suitable Reading. Don't forget to check it out in the eText library!
K_Star: I have heard of "The Two Heavens". I will make sure to look into it when I have the time.
K_Star: Any other books you recommend?
ThassyReviews: "Kingdom of the Sun" also has my rating of Suitable Reading while "Ocean of Mirrors" holds the all-time score of Recommended Reading.
K_Star: I will make sure to check them out when I am able. Thank you.
ThassyReviews: No problem.
K_Star: Have you by any chance read "Valkyrie's Song?" It is a pleasant story to read as it is to sing.
ThassyReviews: Ooh, I most certainly have! That is a premiere classic which I've already placed as Recommended Reading!
ThassyReviews: Speaking of which, have you heard it sung? The melody is astounding, provided it's not the theater adaptation.
K_Star: I have actually sung it myself. If you like, I will try to share you the recording.
ThassyReviews: That would be lovely~.

Dyssy910: Fleet-wide reminder that cohesion and regulations are expected to be observed. There's a war going on the other side of the world. There's no reason to be tactless about what goes on over there.

Dyssy910: Reminder over, go back to evicting those damned ghosts from our property.
Bad_Sun_Rising: Meh back to being a stupid ghost buster
uhb fcdv: waka waka waka waka
Bad_Sun_Rising: Piss off metis
uhb fcdv: wheeruwheeruwheeru bloopbloop *pop*
ThassyReviews: I must say, were those fireballs from FBC_Reporter's posts?
Bad_Sun_Rising: You serious? what is this magic crap?
uhb fcdv: it's not magic, it's the kaleidoscope scoop!
Eb1s: Nah, it's more than magic, it's a SCAM!
Eb1s: See, you all *think* it's magic because that's what it looks like. But come on, you really think magic exists?
uhb fcdv: well i do believe that the great sparky exists so long as you have a microwave, spoons, forks, and noseclips!
HornySlayer: ugh wtf eris i still give you shit about that
HornySlayer: whole east wing attic smelled like shit for days
Bad_Sun_Rising: And we all missed out on having meatloaf, cocoa mugs, instant pizza, and chicken potpies yeah I know
Eb1s: Just think about it. You really think that furry whats-her-name can crap out fireballs out of her ass? If your guess is "no because that sounds stupid" then you're right! Look closely at the images! It may look like fire but the particles and embers are all absent! Also the size of the "flames" don't match the lighting! And where's the smoke?
Eb1s: This ain't magic, it's all an act!
HornySlayer: gee how long did it take for you to dump your spiel?
Bad_Sun_Rising: Riiiight. so what is it then
Eb1s: It's totally plasmo-electricity! Take an EM field to make a spherical shape and at hot enough temperatures you can get something that *looks* like fire! Emphasis on *looks* because they're obviously nowhere near as hot as actual fire, or else Ms. Furry Frick would've killed everyone. Remember: Plasma fire can't melt alloy frames!
ThassyReviews: …
Bad_Sun_Rising: Roflmao that's a good one
ThassyReviews: Okay so how did that oriental ship materialize aircraft from those plasmo-balls?
Eb1s: Nanomachines! There's built-in fabricators that builds them on the spot like they do everything else!
ThassyReviews: They so do not have that technology. What nonsense. What even is your source?
Eb1s: My source is I made it the fuck up!
Dyssy910: Rán Fleet, get your asses off of the computer.
Dyssy910: You too Eris. Your privileges have been revoked.
Eb1s: Oh I'd like to see you try :)

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

HistoricHippos:

Very long time since we last had a Guundergram chapter. In between the climatic story moments and filler events there simply hadn't been an opportunity to revisit Guundergram. Since this is only part 4 of a 51-chapter story (as of the time of this upload), that says a lot about how underutilized these segments are.

Anyways, I hope this is enough of a filler content until the next story chapter arrives.
