11297. How Timmerman somehow turned somebody into a shipgirl is unknown, but she is no longer allowed to.
11297a: Wait, what happens to me now?

"Why did you sneak me into the base?"

Timmerman smirks as she addresses a red-haired boy. "Well, my friend, I want you to witness my new creation!"

"...I already don't like the sound of this."

"Nonsense! It's totally safe!" Timmerman laughs. "This machine will enhance your physical power to match that of us shipgirls!" She motions to a machine that looks like a pod. It has a door to let a person in and a bunch of wires attached to it.

"Why do I doubt you?"

"It's okay to doubt me, but do you want to try it?" Timmerman shrugs. Deep down, she knows there's around a 10% chance of a malfunction.

"Sure." To Timmerman's shock, the boy climbs into the pod. Quickly, she moves to the control console next to the pod. She begins turning dials and flipping switches. "Power on, activating strength enhancing sequence!"

The machine blares to life, lights turning on throughout the machine. After a moment, the machine begins throwing electricity around the room.

"Uh, Timmerman, what's going on!?"

"IT'S MALFUNCTIONING, HANG TIGHT!" Timmerman, panicking, begins flipping all the switches to try to turn off the machine. Instead, in a flash of light, the machine breaks down. The control console explodes, throwing Timmerman to the wall and pushing the pod away.

In the pod, the boy gets knocked unconscious...

'Who are you?' A voice rings out inside his head. It sounds familiar, but he doesn't know why.

"I'm... Sean. Who are you?"

'I'll tell you later...Oh, wait, that's important, isn't it...? Just call me Percival. I like you. Would you like to be my host?'

"Host? You mean, you in my body?"

'Yes. You can keep control of your body, but I can talk with you and see and hear what you do.'

"Wouldn't it be weird if people heard two different voices from me?"

'Don't worry, they won't be able to hear me.'

"Fine."

The familiar voice of Timmerman rings out as she forces the pod's door open, sounding even more panicked than before. "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?"

"What... Have you done...?" The voice that emanates from the body inside the pod is now feminine, sounding exactly like the voice in Sean's head. "WHAT THE?" The body examines itself. "WHY AM I A GIRL!?"

The voice from before speaks again. 'You're a shipgirl now. I guess you can use my name, Percival. DD-452. Fletcher-class.'

"...This week's been really eventful. First, a cat bans me from a chat server, and now I'm a shipgirl."

Timmerman laughs awkwardly. "Um, I guess we should go see the Admiral?"

"How are we supposed to explain this, though!? 'Oh, Timmerman snuck me onto the base to show me a cool creation and happened to turn me into a shipgirl'!? We're both in deep shit, Timmerman!"

"...Shit, you're right."

'...You're on your own for this one, Sean.'
