Thanks for reading all!

Cheers to E-50MasterRace for following!

Lord Adhes, I've read your PM and I've kept your messages, statements, and critique in mind. Thanks for the help!

Basically, 1 Chapter became a 3 Chapter Plot Bunny.

I lied about the two weeks thing.

I'm sorry.

Base Derelict slowly lights up in the low summer sun as the fairies steadily upgrade and restart outdated systems. Soon enough, the low hum of a generator permeates throughout the base hallways alongside warm pastel yellow lights. The lights finally stop flickering in the office where Admiral Dillard holds a meeting with his fleet.

"Congratulations for beating back that surprise force, ladies. From today onwards, I, Septimus Dillard, will be your new admiral. From the looks of things, some of you are pretty gosh danged experienced, while some of you are definitely lacking said experience. Please, introduce yourselves while we're on the ground, not in a helicopter." Admiral Dillard stands before six sitting shipgirls in his small but comfortable office.

"IJNShimikazehere!Keepitshort!Gottagofast!Rescueanythingindistressassoonaspossible!Can'thitwhat'snothterebucko!" She finishes with hands on her hips, a gleaming grin on her face, and unsurprisingly not out of breath after her introduction. Deny access to espresso and energy drinks. Admiral Dillard thought to himself, "Thank you Shimakaze, congratulations on the torpedo run. Eleven out of fifteen hits. You've crippled most of the enemy and made them nice little targets for the big guns."

"I am IJN Haruna, Kongou class fast-battleship. I'm usually better than this! I'm sorry I couldn't do much!" -Sniff- " "Haruna will do her best!" Very spirited, seems she's undergoing an unlucky streak at the moment. Perhaps a few days of R&R will get her to loosen up and ward off Murphy. "It's alright Haruna, relax for a few days. Maybe do your miko hocus pocus and ward off Murphy while you're at it. Regardless, I can see that you are indeed a very focused individual. Whatever you plan to do, I know you will see it through."

"I am IJN Yamato. You are the fifth admiral to hold command over me. I have been transferred due to previous bases being unable to field the necessary resources to send me into combat. I have instead taken over most of their paperwork. If you need to requisition anything from pajamas to anything short of fissile material, you can count on me!" Yamato stands tall and regal, yet strained as she says this. That amount of firepower is indeed awesome, but it's already eaten through ¾ of our starting stock. That explains her eager fumble into the sea. Good to know that she can handle paperwork, but I will definitely try to find a way to bring her into battle without guilt of consuming too much resources. "You've done well, Yamato. I have a few ideas on how to get you to shoot those guns and patrol with the fleet without worry of resource impact. Thanks for offering to do paperwork with me. I will sure be glad to work with you.

"HMS Ark Royal here. I'm going to say what I think everyone is thinking. 30 meter drop into the ocean while summoning rigging?! Are you daft?" Ahem She composes herself and starts again, "HMS Ark Royal, one of the first dedicated built aircraft carriers. Whatever you want identified, I can spot it for you and tell you what it's had for breakfast." Then she mumbles to herself, "Queen knows how experienced my pilots are at spotting." "Thank you for identifying them and relaying great targeting information. Do not sell yourself short." Admiral Hipper reassures Ark Royal. "What she said," agreed Admiral Dillard, "I'll try to hook you up with some runs that'll get you some prime kills." Gotta keep her out of my private stash, she's a sharp hunter.

"Kriegsmarine Admiral Hipper, at your service. Transfer from Base Saffron in the Baltic Sea." She leans against the wall with a hunter's air. "Range twice, shoot once. Whatever you need done, it will be completed. It's nice to work in the cold waters again. I'll make sure that everyone here gets the necessary training to excel and exceed, personally." She flashes a shark-like grin. Well, there is my trainer. She's going to be hard on them but they'll turn out better than ever. I'll probably ask her for some workout advice as well. "Thank you, Admiral Hipper. I'm sure you'll get the rest up to speed on operating in the Bering Sea."

"USS Fletcher here! How are you all doing today? Hah! I know you all are feeling that rush after that fight! I know I am! Sling all ammo at everything that moves, you'll for sure get them!" Fletcher bounces in her seat as she introduces herself. Admiral Hipper stares at her reproachfully while everyone else smiles at her antics. "Well, do try to learn some trigger discipline, Fletcher. We just got this base and don't have much stockpiled. I love your enthusiasm, we'll need that in the coming times."

The shipgirls all leaned forward, sensing a change in the mood. "Perhaps some of you all know, the reason I'm here is that a new menace has been going around, having burned down fourteen bases. It's worrying that something is capable of such feats. Thankfully, we are not posted anywhere near those locations. However, I wish for us all to be prepared in the event of something similar occurring here. As of now, welcome to Task Force "Clapper" 98 of Base Derelict! Let's get stuff done while the northern sun still shines, shall we?"

"HEY! Hey, hey hey." An American Fairy shoves a blueprint into another fairy's face. "Nein! Ja, ja ja. JA!" A German Fairy pushes it out of her face and smacks a wrench over her american counterparts head. "Oi." A British Fairy passes some tea over to a Japanese Fairy. "Desu, desu?" "Oi." The Brit sighs. "OI!" she points over to the mess of pipes and drill bits with a stiff arm. "Oi! Oi, oi oi oi OI!"

"Ja." "Hey."

"Dismissed, mess hall should be up and running. Yamato, stay a while please." A resounding "SIR!" from five throats and a quick salute left Yamato and the Admiral alone.

"You are a battleship," started Admiral Dillard upon the door closing. "With large guns and heavy armor. Frankly, i feel it is a waste relegating you to mere paperwork, a desk job. Do you feel the same, Yamato?"

"I have long resigned myself to this fate, sir, but today's action have left me exhilarated and wanting. Thank you for this opportunity." She cocks her head and states,"You have a plan to send me back into action, even with my relative combat inexperience."

"I do. Right this moment, I've convinced several of the fairies to get this Derelict up and running as well as setting up a refinery and dispensary on Level 2. We have also unpacked several drone units that will trawl the seabed for minerals. Hopefully we can get it all operational within a week." He turns back to Yamato, a slight grin on his face. "You'll be able to train with the best, sortie with the rest, and be back here to relax in the nest! Haha!"

"Thank you for this opportunity, my Admiral." She bows deeply and rises again with a roaring flame in her eyes.

"We may have started with a small victory, but I expect great things from all of you. But for you, IJN Yamato, protect your fellow soldiers, protect your home, and obliterate all who dares to threaten you and your charges. Understood?"

Yamato stands even more at attention with a razor sharp salute, "Sir, yes sir!"

You've all probably given up on this story, [plz no. :(] I've starting writing one chapter then it got big, then I've decided to split it into three cos it feels better that way. This chapter may feel short cos I wanted to do a more in depth backstory to the crew and the base. Then I thought, this isn't going to be a Slice of Life.

Welp, one down, two to go. I'm jumping between writing the three cos of a plague of idea fountains and what-ifs. As well as anticipating any continuity issues that might arise and connections between plot and idea points.

If you are curious where I have been, well, adult stuff is hard when I have no questions to ask about a subject I have no clue about to anyone else. So, moral of story, ask shit about shit you don't understand. Most fellas who'll answer will be happy to help, the other fellas will want to scam the heck outta you. Also Honkai Impact 3 and 100% Orange Juice with friends for like almost every night.

Hope you enjoyed, the two other chapters will shortly follow Soon™ .

Send friends. I have too many s'mores for one person to eat.
