When I woke up, I could see the sky, so I guess that means I'm not dead yet. "Oh, you're awake then." Someone said in a rather unpleasant way. Sitting up, I looked around and found Amazon standing against a tree nearby.

"Where's Myoukou and the commander?" I asked.

Down the basement with everyone else, they're trying to get rid of all the ice that is down there." She explained "Well, pykrete actually, it's a mixture of ice and sawdust, far harder to melt, which is why they're having problems getting rid of it..." She responded. As she continued chatting, I groggily stood up, when I noticed something flutter by my legs, I quickly stomped on it to avoid it getting away. Picking it up, I realised it was the piece of blueprint that I found earlier.

Just what was it that they were building? I looked towards the direction of the building that me and Myoukou went in earlier, when I noticed the pier that Myoukou mentioned earlier, she was right, it was pretty long, in fact it stretched nearly all the way…to…the centre of the lake…

I looked down at the piece of blueprint again, staring intently at the curve drawn on it, then I looked back towards the lake, then I remembered the ice on the walls. If…that was the case…but…surely not… "They wouldn't be that daft? Right…?"

Amazon stopped in her monologue, "Who wouldn't be that daft?" She asked, a little concerned.

But if they had done something like that…then where had it gone? Had it disappeared? Wait…if there was still ice down there then it might have been preserved down there…but a room of that size wouldn't have been able to hold-

And then an idea suddenly came to mind, a very worrying idea. I turned towards Amazon. "Amazon? How are they getting rid of the ice…?" I asked.

Amazon looked more than a little concerned. "umm…they're making holes to put explosives in to blow it up…"

Oh no, that can't happen!

"Oh Bloody HELL!" I yelled rushing down the stairs.

"HEY! Where you going? INDIANAPOLIS!"

"All ready to set the charges Warspite?"

"Just say the word your majesty!"

"Very well then prepare-"

"STOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!" I yelled running down the stairs three at a time.

"Now WHAT?" Elizabeth huffed.

"What's the matter rookie?"

"DON'T BLOW IT UP, YOU'RE GONNA-"

Unfortunately, in my haste to reach the bottom, I'd forgotten that the entire floor was covered in ice, which lead to my legs trying to swap places with my head, resulting in me falling onto my head once again, and once again causing me to black out.

I woke with a start, the first thing I saw was the ceiling, and then all the pain came at me all at once. "Owww…"

"Are you alright Indianapolis senpai?" The worried face of Myoukou stared at me upside down. I groaned again.

"…I'd be better off if you didn't call me senpai…"

"Yep, she's back alright." I heard Hornet say. I slowly lifted my head off the floor. Ahead of me was Amazon, Enterprise and Warspite scraping away at the wall of ice with shovels.

"How long have they been doing that?" I asked.

"About 45 minutes rookie."

"This better be worth it…" I heard Queen Elizabeth huff in frustration somewhere to my side out of sight.

"So then rookie, what was it that you were so desperate to tell us?"

"If you had blown it up, you might have damaged it, I think it might be more fragile than we're used to."

"So this 'weapon' is something that we already have, but it's more fragile?" Warspite asked.

"Possibly…"

"Is it dangerous?" Elizabeth asked, a little concern in her voice.

"…It depends who you're thinking of, but for us, no."

"Will it blow up?" Myoukou asked.

"I don't think it will, if we handle it with care…"

"So…" Elizabeth fumed, "What is it?"

"Yes, what do you think it is senpai?"

"Don't call me that…" I sighed, "…Well, I-"

"Hey guys!" Enterprise suddenly called out. "This piece of ice is harder than the rest."

"It's pykrete, of course it's harder than normal ice." Amazon replied, matter-of-factly.

"I know, I just mean it's harder than the rest of the pieces we've scrapped off."

"Can you get it out?" Warspite asked.

"Hold on…" Enterprise replied placing her shovel down and reaching her hand into the wall of ice, "Yep, I've got something, it's like, some sort of blob." Enterprise wriggled her hand a little, before, with a clink and a scrape, she pulled out the object in question.

We were all staring at the object in her hand, it at first just seemed to be a random piece of ice, or pykrete or whatever it was, only the way this piece was shaped was rather unusual, after all, it's unlikely that ice naturally forms a perfect cube shape.

"…Is that…what I think it is…?" Myoukou asked.

"Yeah, I think it is." I replied.

Enterprise stared at the object in awe, before turning to the commander and handing him the cube. "Commander, could you do the honours?" she said, extending her arm out towards him. The commander gingerly took hold of the cube; a bright light enveloped the room, as it dissipated, we could just about see the brightly silhouetted figure where the cube once was.

"Are you the one who woke me from my cold slumber?" The figure asked, as the bright light disappeared, we could finally see the mysterious figure. She was a tall woman, with long white hair, pale skin and ice blue eyes. She wore a long ice blue evening dress, with a small white scarf wrapped around her neck and knee high white high heels with tufts of white fur around the top, covering the bottom part of her tights. "Thank you for believing in me, my name is Habakkuk, and I am at your command."

"An aircraft carrier made of ICE?"

"Pykrete." I corrected, not that that seemed to mattered to the mini monarch, I'm surprised that Amazon didn't correct her, but I guess she had a touch of cherry blossom poisoning.

"That doesn't matter, she's still made of ice!" Elizabeth snapped, exasperated.

We had decided to regroup near the truck and most of us were sitting on a nearby bench. The commander had to explain to his superiors about what had happened, and Amazon wanted to collect some pykrete to research back at the base, which meant that Myoukou went along to give her a hand and to keep an eye on her in case anything went wrong.

"So rookie, what made you realise that we were looking for a wisdom cube?"

"The pykrete." I explained.

"What do you mean?" Warspite asked.

"Well, I just couldn't figure out what its purpose was for. Originally I thought that it was used to disguise mines as icebergs in naval warfare, but that didn't make any sense as we'd try to avoid icebergs anyway, and we might end up colliding into them ourselves. So what else could you do with ice that melts at a slower rate? That's when I noticed the extraordinary long pier going out onto that lake there, coupled with this small section of blueprint, made me think that they were building something, something that needed to be built on water. And that where it hit me, that blueprint was a cross section of a hull, they were building a ship, after all, if you spotted an iceberg, you'd be in combat range."

"That's a rather clever idea." Warspite said "I'm glad that we were able to come back with another Royal Navy Kansen."

"I don't think everyone agrees with you." Hornet responded. We all turned to face Queen Elizabeth, who was solely focused Enterprise and Habakkuk, the former trying to explain to the new girl the events between her conception and her awakening. Although it was Habakkuk that Elizabeth was staring at in a rage, and I'm not surprised, considering her 'bow' looked as big as Friedrich der Große's.

"Why are all my Royal Navy ships so stacked!" We heard her mumble.

Once we returned to base, Habakkuk was sent to the Royal Navy dorms, with Queen Elizabeth ordering Monarch and Plymouth to show the new girl around. Akashi was also glad to see the new girl too, apparently Habakkuk can't stand the heat and had to have an expensive AC built into her room to keep cool.

A/N: C'mon YOSTAR, this is a missed opportunity, you need to put her in, PR Ship, UR Ship, I don't care, think how cool it'll be to have an aircraft carrier made of ice!
