Location: Steamers Pub

I currently was sitting in a british pub, on my day off, enjoying a nice lunch. The reason why I'm here is that before I left the base I had asked around for a nice place to go for lunch and that's when Kongō made her suggestion of the pub she always visited.

Seeing as it was always good to try something new, I took her suggestion and looked up the location as I was heading to the mainland, it didn't take me long to find the pub.

I was watching a live action drama on the TV they had hooked up and had just finished my meal when….

"We interrupt this program to bring you some breaking news" A voice said whilst the breaking news logo displayed before switching to the newsroom with a female presenter.

"Breaking news, A major development has recently been announced for the Kanmusu program" This immediately got my attention so I got out my phone and started to record.

"Due to the talks that have been going on the past few months, the leaders of the various Kanmusu programs around the world have finally come to an important decision"

'What could it be, hurry up news lady, spit it out' I said to myself starting to get edgy.

"A new program has been announced given the moniker of the exchange program. From what we can gather from the information, each Kanmusu fleet with approval from their program heads can now receive Kanmusu from different nations and work with them."

'This could be bad, especially if there are american Kanmusu involved' I said to myself worriedly

"It is unknown at this point how long the exchange period we last, it seems more information is going to be released at a later date" the newscaster finished saying before the screen faded back to the breaking news logo.

"We now return to regular scheduled programming" the voice said once before the live action drama started playing again. I immediately got off my seat, payed what I owed and ran out of the pub. Rapidly pressing buttons I called my Auntie….

"Auntie did you see the news!" I yelled

"Yes I did, alright Sayuri get back her quickly we need to discuss this with everyone"

"Yes, ma'am!" I said hanging up and running to the train station.

That night the base was ablaze with fierce discussions concerning the matter of the newly announced exchange program. Some were for it some were against it, eventually the arguing got so bad that I found a space and fired off a full salvo which settled everyone down immediately before auntie took the reins and calmed down everyone further, stating that this base may or maybe not chosen for the exchange program.

This got people happy but still unhappy at the same time, but they all decided that when the time comes and if foreign kanmusu show up they decided to all get along and not cause and problems. After the discussion was finished everyone dispersed and I went to my room to take some headache medicine before hopping into bed.

As I started to fall asleep I personally wondered what I would be like to meet the ship that I went toe-to-toe with and came out of the battle relatively unscathed, and have a drink with her. At this thought a smile crept across my face as the realm of sleep finally took hold.
