Eagle Union Base: High Tower
Getting all caught up with past events, Enterprise got on her feet and made her way to the door, upsetting Belfast. "Wait, Enterprise" the maid ran up to her "Where are you going?" the cruiser asked, "Away, I don't need anymore distractions" the carrier said in a slightly harsh tone, making her way down the stairs. "What?!" the maid gave a rare yell, "Enterprise I don't understand, all I wish for is to help you, why won't you let me?" Belfast said as she grabbed her lover's arm, pulling her back, "Please.., why are you doing this?" she asked with hurt in her eyes.
The Gray Ghost gave no answer, just a cold stare before pulling her arm back, and continuing down stairs, "I-I-I, why I'd never, Miss Enterprise, have you completely gone mad!?" the maid continued her protest, following the rude woman. "Enterprise?" she asked the carrier, walking fast enough to be next to her, "Enterprise.., I don't wish for such forceful actions but I will do what I must" Belfast gave her final warning to her significant other, and as usual, going unheard, "...Very well..." the maid said disappointingly. And before the carrier could go any further, the Royal shipgirl placed a firm grip on her shoulder before pushing her into the wall, "Agh? Let go Belfast" Enterprise said as she tried to push her off.
"No" the light cruiser simply said, staring down 'The Big E' as she kept a firm grip on her shoulder, "You will listen" Belfast told the Eagle Union Ace, scolding her like a child. "I don't know what is bothering you, and I haven't a clue as to why you are like this, but if I hear you speak in such an ill manner to anyone else.., I..." the maid struggled to finish her sentence, shocked by her own words, "...Then i'll deal with your actions justly, and accordingly...nothing further" Belfast released her grip on Enterprise, who stood there without speaking.
"...If someone is hurting you...please tell me" the Royal ship said quietly as she embraced the carrier in a tight hug, hoping to bring her lover back to her senses.
Enterprise, for once, gave a rare display of affection towards the maid, silently returning the hug, listening to the heartbeat of her partner. "...Belfast.., if you want to leave...to find someone better...I won't stop you" the carrier spoke, staring at the floor, "A woman like you.., should have the best, even if you're a maid you-" her sentence would be cut short, as panic took over. "Ngh.., agh..." Belfast lost consciousness, falling limp onto her lover's arms, bringing her panic, "Huh? Belfast? Belfast!" Enterprise shook the shipgirl, trying to figure out what had happened, as fear began to set it.
