Rule 2383. OK, people it's time for all ship girls and some navy personnel to be reminded that we'll be conducting a bi-annual budget review starting sometime this year. As such we'll be having mandatory Financial classes to help with your taxes and how to save and use money wisely. We're doing this because we don't want our budget getting cut by our government thinking how wasteful we are with our money what with all of the shenanigans you get up to. Paying for those damages aren't cheap.

"How?" Admiral Goto asked as he looked between the man infront of him and the files in his hands. Admiral Knight was currently visiting the base on the pretense of personally handling sensitive documents i.e. the Monthly Financial Reports. Commander Yonehara could have done that easily enough but apparently the filipino admiral had wanted to personally see the base that generates the cause majority if not all his paperwork.

"What do you mean How?" Admiral Knight asked, accepting a cup of tea from Kongou. Behind him was his escort Yang!Iowa who was standing guard.

"How could you make all this!" Goto gestured to the documents in his hands with a wave. He look through it, they were compiled cleanly and efficiently. Numbers laid bear to the most extreme details. It was so clean that they wouldn't have a problem comparing it with their own records for inconsistency. It was unbelievable for one person who manages resources that keep the majority if not the entire Asian Frontline running. Sure there are other supply bases but they still need to go to a intermediary before those supplies reach the frontlines, Corregidor Island was one of those intermediary bases. Goto could hardly imagine that many cargo going in and out much less keep track of everything. Most especially when said admiral doesn't have officers and staff to help control the paperwork that comes with it.

Knight stared for a moment before bursting out laughing. That caught Admiral Goto off guard and wondered if it was something he said or someone spiked the tea. Then Knight grab him by the shoulder and with a bright smile on his face he said. "That's simple."

"I lie to myself." The visiting admiral then pulled Admiral Goto closer. "Everyday when I wake up I tell myself that everything is going to be okay. But I'm lying." Knight pulled the older admiral even closer forcing the japanese admiral to look at his distant and hollowed eyes. "And I don't know how much longer I can take."

There was a painful squeal coming from Knight that made Goto fearful for the man. But in an instant later Admiral Knight was a good distance away and was calm and collected again. "Nice talk." He grinned as if the last exchange never happened. He downed the tea before made to leave. "If you ever need me I'll be at my ship! And love the tea." With that he left.

Silence. There was only Silence as Admiral Goto continued to stare at the close doors, even Kongou could only stare at the door as well, before both of them turned to the third and silent audience.

"To be honest." Yang!Iowa started, "He once said: "Insanity is just a matter of perspective". Make that out what you will." She shrug before following her commander out the door.

Admiral Goto was confused. He either commend the Army Officer turned Admiral for his Mental Flexibility and Fortitude or call in a Psychiatrist he knew to check the man herself.
