6199. Ooyodo, Niyodo, get some sleep. While we get that Kanmusu have much more stamina than normal humans, pulling thirty all-nighters in a row is way too much.
6199a. "But, but, the reports!" Niyodo.
6199b. "There's too much to do. We have to file inventory, logs, and catch up on the List!' Ooyodo.
6199c. GET SOME SLEEP!
Yokosuka.
Goto leaned back in his chair, smiling. After spending the good part of a month in Tokyo dealing with the Diet and Assembly, it felt good to be back home.
"Admiral! You're back!" a familiar voice echoed through his office. Goto had just enough time to put his tea down before a certain fast battleship slammed him to the ground.
"Hello Kongou, I take it you missed me?" he asked.
"Of course not. I'm just tackling you for the heck of it." she laughed. "Really, darling, you should know the answer to that by now. It's a good thing you're back, I was at my wit's end."
"Really?" he asked suggestively. "I guess I'll have to make it up to you tonight."
She blinked at the statement. "Oh, not that, silly. It's our resident workaholics."
"What's wrong with Ooyodo and Niyodo?"
The two of them stood up, and Kongou took his hand. "It would be better if I showed you."
Soon, they were at the secretaries' office. Goto opened the door and peaked inside. Both Ooyodo and Niyodo were staring at their computers, typing and sipping from their prized 100 ounce coffee mugs. Nothing odd there, he thought. But, they might want to fix their make up. That eye shadow's a little too muc-wait, that's not make up. He looked to Kongou for an explanation.
"You remember that glitch in the network the day you left?" she asked.
"The one that the I.T guy wasn't anything to worry about? Yes, why?"
"Turns out that it actually was something to be worried about. It messed up about a week's worth of data, so those two have been pulling all-nighters to catch up."
"How many all-nighters?"
"Since the day you left. Every time someone's tried to stop them, they went Abyssal."
Goto looked thoughtful as he glanced back into the office. "Is the Wasp still in port?"
"Yes, why?" asked Kongou.
"Tell the captain of the Wasp that I need his best marksman over here now. I need to talk with Akashi and the Yubaris'."
A hour later, both secretaries were still in their office, tuning out everything aside from their work. That being the case, the first inking either had of trouble was the window shattering. Ooyodo glanced up just in time to see her sister fall out of her chair before she felt a slight prick in her arm. She was unconscious in seconds.
Outside the office, Goto and Kongou were talking with Akashi while others hauled the unconscious light cruisers to their room. "Are you sure that they'll stay asleep?"
"Definitely. There was enough anesthetic in those darts to knock out a battleship for a week, and now that they are actually asleep, the exhaustion will keep them that way." said Akashi.
"Good."
A Month later...
Goto and Akashi eyed the light cruisers in front of them. 'Are the two of you sure you're ready to return to duty?" asked Goto.
"Yes, sir. Thanks to those darts, me and my sister are fully rested, and now we're ready to go back to work." said Ooyodo.
"Well, you got enough rest, that's for sure. However," said Akashi as she took their vitals."what exactly have the two of you had to eat since waking up?"
"Uh, we're not hungry, Akashi." said Niyodo.
"Well, too bad. The two of you have been asleep for a month and a half, and the previous month your only nourishment consisted of coffee. Before either of you are cleared for duty, you're both going to the mess hall, and you're staying there until you've cleaned the place out. Is that clear?" said Akashi.
Both girls looked towards the admiral. "Sir?"
"Sorry girls, but when it comes to your health, Akashi out-ranks me."
"Ooyodo, Niyodo, if the two of you go to the mess hall, I'll make sure that the Yubaris' don't attempt any experiments for a month."
Before Akashi could say anything else, the two light cruisers bolted out the door, heading for the mess hall.
"How did you do that?" asked Goto in wonder.
Akashi smiled. "Easy. Want to get two workaholics to stop working? Take away the cause of most of their work."
