The room is dark; an interior ward without a window. The TV is silent; only the muted hum of a tiny cooling fan fills the sterile air; sharp with the acrid undertone scent of disinfectant and bleach, the universal, uncomfortable smell of hospitals. In the stark blue-white glow of the inextinguishable night-light over the bed, you see Naka's outline under the sheet.

She looks awfully small, and with the hem up over her face, it looks like -

“Naka?” you say firmly, stepping towards the bed, but she neither stirs nor makes reply. Fighting the quick scream of panic that shrieks through your nerves, you reach out with one steady hand and pull the sheet off her face.

The light cruiser Naka, once a sleek four-stack light cruiser of five-thousand tons displacement, now stares at the boring vanilla ceiling tiles with vacant brown eyes. At first you think her asleep – or just well-drugged – until her eyes twitch to you.

“What.”

“Came to see how you were doing,” you tell her. “You got hit pretty bad, after all-”

“It was just two-thousand pounds of torpedo warheads,” she says, her eyes flicking back to the ceiling. “Nothing a light cruiser can't take.”

“Apparently so,” you say with a smile you don't feel. “Your sister ship was worried si-”

“Quiet-chan?” she supplies softly.

“Y-yeah, I didn't catch her n-”

“I guess,” she cuts you off. “How's Arizona?”

“She's fine-”

“Really?” Naka says, her eyes flicking back to you – focused and piercing, now. “I'm not fine, and she took it worse than me.”

“She got the shit shot out of her superstructure, but her armor stopped any hits to her vitals. She'll be up and about soon enough.”

Naka regards you with a blank, resigned expression – and then flings her sheet away, revealing her midriff; lost somewhere under a huge swath of bandages and wrappings. “Well, I can see why everyone went running to her first, then.”

You suck in a breath as her disdain slaps into you. “Naka-”

“Why don't you fuck off, Settle?” she says, drawing her sheet up over her face again.

“If you'd had a live shell still stuck in your belly, I would've run to you first,” you reply evenly. You didn't know about the shell till you'd reached Arizona, but Naka doesn't need to know that.

“To wring your hands and cry for my fate?” she says, rolling her eyes.

“I lifted it out with my own two hands,” you say, showing her the tape on your fingers where someone tended to the cuts in your fingers while you were asleep. “Those itty bitty steel cables hurt like a bitch when they dig in.” You place your hands on your hips and lean over her, giving her your best Admiral Glare. “I don't know how much you remember after you were hit, but when you went down that Filipino Coast Guard cutter moved in and engaged – to cover *you.*” You straighten up and cross your arms. “They're the ones that hoisted you out of the drink before you sunk, too.”

She pulls the sheet down far enough to give you a wretched look, her eyes shiny. “Is that supposed to make me feel better, Settle?”

You frown. “The fuck do you want, sailor? A ticker-tape parade?”

“Why are you using us?” Naka says quietly. “Why use us at all, when you've got those amazing ships with self-guiding rockets and radar-guided guns that never miss?”

She lets that hang in the air between you. She knows damn well that you know why – those amazing ships cost millions of dollars, and every time they're damaged, living, breathing human crewmen die.

“I failed,” she said, “and because of that, lives were put into danger.”

“Naka, it was a fluke,” you reply. “It could've been anyone. If HMS Hood shows up, I'm sure she'll give you an earful on fluke shots.”

“Tell it to Mogami,” she snorts. “She made it out of Midway by jettisoning those fucking Long Lances. But I can't. They're the only firepower I've got that's worth a damn.” She sighs, then glances at the light spilling through the open door and lowers her voice to a bare murmur. “Eight torpedoes. Seven guns. All the firepower of a destroyer at only twice the displacement.” She gives you an apologetic smile. “I'm... I'm sorry, Admiral Settle. I was obsolete in my first war, and I'm obsolete now. I don't rate the attention due a battleship, I know that, it's just...” she jerks in a breath and turns her face to the opposite wall. “Do you know about idols, Admiral Settle?”

“Idols” in the Japanese sense have gained some strange sort of popularity on the West coast in the last several years, though you'd hesitate to say you really understand the appeal. “Yes.”

“They're always happy,” she says softly. “And always completely shallow. Just a cute face and a pretty voice. And that's all anyone expects of them.” She draws the sheet up over her face again. “Thank you... for visiting, Admiral. And please...” her voice begins to quaver at this, “-don't tell anyone about this, I – I said too much.”

Also, I'd like to make a heartless speech for no purpose but my own amusement. "Naka, I don't see you as an obsolete ship with eight torpedoes and seven guns for far too much displacement. You're a shipgirl, so that's all irrelevant. All I see when I look at you is eight torpedoes and seven guns."

Manga for the first, anime for the second. The anime is pretty fucking bad when it came to naval engagement scenes, especially the finale. But, the manga does take it too far some times, with fight scenes taking forever to finish.

Sharp objections spring into your mouth, pointed and hot – but you hold your tongue. If you uttered them, you'd be the one 'saying too much.' You can't fix issues this deep, even by speaking the truth.

“I won't, Naka. Get well soon.” You back out of the room and close the door behind you, hanging the “do not disturb” sign on the outside knob for good measure. You check both ways for nurses – they don't give a flying fuck about the insignia on anyone's collar – before pulling out your smartphone and wearily paging over to the calendar app. An Admiral's job is never done, after all. You see Hate won't be available for a chit-chat on the Naka issue – he's going to be running range practice for cruisers in about twenty minutes, then a session for destroyers and escorts. You'd like to see that, all right – but you should also debrief the other ships involved in the op; Kongou (to take her mind off Naka) and quiet-chan (who was so distraught over Naka) and especially the two other light cruisers, who you don't really know yet. If Goto's going to be putting you in charge of entire task forces of *his* ships, you'd best get to know them better. The trust works both ways, and he's apparently spent the morning doing the after-engagement paperwork for you.

Speaking of, you could probably get on that for him, let the poor bastard catch some sack time. It'd also be nice to get his opinion on your performance – he put you on the spot to test you, you're sure. You'd like to know how you measured up.

Or you could get breakfast, and maybe borrow a cane on your way out of the damn hospital – but that's for mortal men, not Admirals.

Arpeggio's different from Kancolle in that the girls are the AI construct of a possibly alien war machine that takes the outward appearance/name of a WWII ship.

Kancolle's more of a "magical girl" type setup where the girl is the war machine, whereas in Arpeggio there's a distinction between the girl and the ship she's on.

Yes, and the setup is more based around science fiction naval combat projected into the future; heavy focus on guided missile attacks, hyper-cavitating torpedoes, electronic decoys/ECM/ECCM, etc.

Except CV-8 never carried nukes- she was sunk in 1943, before the Manhatten Project came to completion.

And the CV-12 Hornet survived the war and is currently a museum ship.

You decide on debriefing the other participants of yesterday's battle first – Goto will share his opinion with you later, Admiral to Admiral, and he's probably found a rack by now. The ships, on the other hand – there's no guarantee that they'll volunteer their opinion without solicitation, and a proper debriefing is something they'll expect of you. If you want to lead them, you've got to act the part good and proper.

You swing by your base apartment to tidy up first, and find your discarded cane thoughtfully hung on the doorknob for you. You leave it there as you get cleaned up, and are a little annoyed to find it still waiting when you emerge. Still, it's better to limp across the base than use one of those stupid-looking golf carts; your leg will never grow stronger without exercise.

It might never grow stronger at all.

A half-hour later you're seated in a meeting room, a Styrofoam cup of bad coffee cooling in front of you as you wait for the ships to arrive. A familiar thunder roars through the hall and Kongou bursts through the door, having apparently hit it with her shoulder, since one arm's still in a sling.

“HEYA!” she exclaims, and then her face falls. “Oh, it's you.”

“Gee, thanks,” you reply levelly.
>>
>>38859092
Well if you think about it, the Iowas still function as actual ships, so they don't need to turn into girls.

So they could be waiting for the Navy to decide to either re-commission them or summon them.

“You're really neat, Admiral Settle~” Kongou says as she spins across the room, her good arm flung out dramatically - “but Admiral Goto is so... he's so...”

“Japanese?” you venture.

“Hmph!” Kongou says as she flops into a chair. “I was built in England, you know! I've got nothing against foreign men. But Admiral Goto...” she lets her cheek fall into one hand, staring into the distance dreamily.

“He's extremely patient with fools,” a new voice says at your elbow. You twitch, but refuse to gratify the speaker by turning to look immediately. Instead you take a deliberately slow sip of the coffee and make a point of wincing worse at *that.* “Hello, Admiral...?”

You set down your coffee and look up at one of the light cruisers – she's hovering over you with a slight, amused smile. You offer her your hand without rising. “Settle. Ryan Settle.”

She gives you a good, firm shake – graceful, but not weak. “Light Cruiser Tatsuta,” she says politely. “nice to meet you.” She takes a seat by your right elbow; pulling the chair out and flowing into it with what almost seems one smooth motion. She brushes her purple bangs away from her eyes and props her chin on the back of both hands, cutting her eyes to the side to study you... then pointedly sliding them towards the door. Following her gaze, you see an orange-and-black clad cruiser – Quiet-Chan, then, the other Sendai class ship – leaning around the doorjamb to survey the room cautiously.

“Jintsu-chaaaan!” Kongou bellows at her, waving enthusiastically. The girl nearly vanishes behind the doorframe for a few more moments before slowly edging into the room. She gives you a tentative look – which instantly turns rather sharp – before dropping her eyes to the floor. She's still standing there, edging towards a seat, when the door behind her flies open. She cries out in shock as the hollow-core door thrumms from the impact, windmilling her arms to keep from being bowled over.

“HA!” the newcomer shouts, seizing her by the back of her shirt and hauling her upright so vigorously she damn near topples over backwards, instead. The newcomer – another purple-haired girl in a black outfit, with a patch over one eye – towers a head over the sendai-class. She immediately starts laughing and slaps the orange-clad girl in the back, sending her windmilling for balance yet again. “Jeez, Jintsu. Maybe you need your gyrocompass checked?”

“Tenryuu,” Tatsuta says gently, “could you please sit down before you knock that poor girl down?”

“Sure, sure,” she says flippantly, kicking a chair with one foot so it spins around, then hopping into it to rest both arms atop the backrest. “What's up, pop?”

“Tenryuu,” Tatsuta says, her voice honeyed and very, very patient – “this is Admiral Ryan Settle, of the United States Navy.”

“No shit, really?” Tenryuu says, widening her one eye in feigned shock. “I thought he was Spanish!” Behind her, at the far end of the table, Jintsuu buries her face in both hands and shakes her head.

“Si si,” you reply. “Como estas?”
Tenryuu's eye widens again – and her mouth drops open. “Holy shit, you really are!?”

You hear Tatsuta take in a long, deep breath for exactly three seconds.

“No.”

She glowers at you. “Whatever. Are we handing out kills or what? I've got a claim on one of those cruisers, you know!”

I thought a typical debriefing would proceed as "Okay, we're going to take this from the first moment and open up the floor to critique. Don't feel afraid to bring up any mistakes, but also try to point out where things went right."

Also kills, but that's a side dish.

Face is better, though the left eye could stand to be shifted over toward the centerline and maybe also down a bit.

Agreed with >>38860809 that the arms are way too scrawny. Shoulder's look really wide and bony too.

Not enough hips and thighs to go with those tits. The legs should be nearly twice as thick, otherwise it just looks weird and lopsided. You don't get that much meat up top without a decent amount down below as well. Unless they're fake.

>>I was wondering what you thought of your first time fighting with Arizona.
Yes! Caught up to Shipsluts Quest this time!
>>
“Sure, sure,” you say evenly. “Arizona did for the battleship, and Tenryuu-”

“Nailed that cruiser!” she exclaims, pumping her fist in the air. “Two for two!”

“Right,” you say with a sigh. “Good torpedo run. Anyways....” you decide for an open-ended question, to see what they'll volunteer on their own. “What were your thoughts on that last battle?”

“We kicked their fucking ASSES!” Tenryuu exclaims exuberantly, slapping the table hard enough to make Jintsuu wince. “And you weren't afraid to commit us to close action when it counted, so you're okay in my book! Wish you'd done it sooner, though. We might've nailed that last cruiser before he got away.”

Jintsuu's shy expression darkens into a scowl at Tenryuu's back. Tatsuta notices it too, because she tries to cut in. “Tenryuu, sometimes-”

“Admiral Settle, with light cruisers like us, you've got to be aggressive!” She scooches her chair closer to you, thrusting one fingergun out in front of her. “All our firepower's in our Long Lances! We've got to close in fast and hit them hard, before they've got a chance to shoot us up!”
>>
>>38860938
>The proportions make me scream in the X-Ray spectrum.

That sounds painful, but I'm not sure.
>>
>>38860956

Jintsuu is on her feet now, her face flushed red, hands balled into fists at her sides as she glares dirks and daggers at Tenryuu's back.

“We've got two inches of belt armor over our vitals, Admiral!” Tenryuu plows on, drowning out the tentative starts of Tatsuta near you. “You can risk us in attacks that destroyers can't-”

“SHUT UP!” Jintsuu screams. Tenryuu's eye widens in obvious shock, and she turns with clear disbelief to look at the girl behind her.

“... Jin-”

“I SAID SHUT UP!” she roars, her voice strained close to breaking. “WE *CAN'T* TAKE THAT KIND OF FIGHT, YOU STUPID – STUPID – YOU OBSOLETE SUICIDAL SACK OF TRASH!” Her stiff arms are starting to tremble. “We're glorified destroyers, all of us, fit to lead flotillas – we had no goddamned place in that fight! There's a REASON we engage at night! We didn't have the armor for it – not even Kongou did! But we had to stay and cover the retreat because of HIS-” she rounds on you, her eyes filled with hate - “fatassed slow-moving so-special Yankee battlewagon wasn't fast enough to fucking run for it, like we needed to! AND IT DAMN NEAR GOT NAKA-CHAN SUNK!”

A cold silence falls on the room; only the discreet rattle of the air-conditioner vent filling the air.

Yes, it did.

You won't always be able to outrun an enemy, just like you won't always be able to outgun one. We had limited intelligence on the Abyssal fleet composition, and I'm the one who put together a response based on what we actually knew.

I did -- not Arizona.

Not Arizona -- who took on two battleships by herself.

Not Arizona -- who put herself in danger to save your sister.

Not Arizona -- who damn near sank again in order to save the ships of a navy that sank her once before, and apparently STILL LOOKS AT HER AS SHIT

SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HOW THIS BATTLE TURNED OUT, TAKE IT UP WITH ME, NOT HER.

UNDERSTAND?

You make it sound like this would be a one-way thing and that this is defending their purity or something.

Are you going to tell the ship girls that they can only fuck each other and not anyone else because reasons?

As I said above, this sounds ridiculous and totally one-sided. It takes two to tango.

Which begs the question, how do you legally measure a ship girl's age, assuming they're considered people?
Date of construction?
Date of commission?
Date they return from watery graves?
How old they look?

>>38861460
It is military necessity, not some bitching about "purity". While it may in the end prove unavoidable, for now, it's best to keep a lid on it, keep the shipgirls focused on doing their job, and not create any emotional hazards.

Best to make that clear to the human sailors and workers so they know not to mess with this, and that means Leavenworth for any idiot who decided to break these orders. Hopefully any such nonsense can be cleared up before the shipgirl makes a major attachment.
>>
>>38861462
I've never had this problem, personally. We've reproduced by Iron Wombs for untold eons. I'm assuming your courts would see it that way.

... Yes, that does mean I've never had a girlfriend and that I'm still a virgin.

Excellent question, actually.

Date of commission might be coming of age?

Sounds right. So getting the champagne smashed counts as baptismal, her first trials at sea would count as her first day at school, yada yada...

Damn, she looks good for an old fart.

I don't remember that; sounds like you're projecting harder than the IMAX projector.

It's a /tg/ quest, so a shipgirl will get waifued sooner or later. It's a force of nature (much of Planefag's writing)

That might be reasonable but previous sentiments made it sound like the guy would be 100% at fault for fucking a ship girl as if they had no choice or interests in the matter.

Right now I'm imagining some ship girl becoming an emotional wreck because some guy she fucked got thrown in prison.

Besides, even if there was something under the fucking UCMJ, there's enough sad fucking assholes trying to force their way on base to fucking, "visit" their "waifu" or some fucking shit we'd need a civilian law too. Either that or you fucklings need to let me use lethal force once in a fucking while.

No, Hate. You use corgi force to dissuade them. It's what they're there for. Keeping fuckwits out of our harbors and territory.
>>
>>38861671
Maybe. It was a bit of a snap reaction on my part based on a few short posts in early threads. Planefag would best know Planefag's plans, unless you know how to read Planefag's mind.

>>38861726
As I envision it, it'd best be handled by taking the guy aside, and saying "unless you can cut it out, it's a reassignment, and if you persist too much, it's Fort Leavenworth for you." Ergo my "before she makes too much of an attachment" comment: it'd be godawful trying to salvage the situation if the shipgirl had developed a major relationship. I'm not even fucking sure what would realistically happen there: I imagine it would be case-by-case, with an implication of "if it weren't for her feelings, you'd be rotting in Leavenworth forever".
>>
>>38861734
There is.

It lets you make a max-level ship even stronger.

Somehow I don't imagine Planefag is going to carry that element over from the game, but if he did that would have all sorts of weird implications.

Why'd ya hafta give plenfig ideas, anon?
>>
>>38861726
One other thing to clarify I suppose: I imagine the whole "don't even try with the shipgirls" would be a wartime expedient only, as a "we don't know what will happen, but this is a can of worms that you will, for the love of God, not open right now" sort of thing. Once the war is over, there's no convincing reason to keep up the restrictions.

Of course, as mentioned, by thread 10, there will probably be at least three defined waifu candidates and there will be no way of stopping the waifuing.

>>38861929
It is always a pun.
>>
>>38861908
And that was how Admiral Settle never POMF'd Arizona.

Bloody Fae.

"Kongou desu!" I swear to fuck, if I hear it one more time from some fucker outside the gate, I'm going to peg them with a fucking brick.
>>
>>38861892
Thing is, it's MARRIAGE that gives the powerup, not sex.

There's some weird power of love shit going on. Potentially with a side of pact magic type stuff, since the powerups only kick in when the relationship is legally formalized. (In the game, you literally have to get a marriage license and sign it to marry your shipfu.)
>>
>>38861990
no, throw a corgi at them.

This is the greatest threat I've heard to date. Thank you.

>>38862024
Right, but I'm talking about what the implications would be if it were transferred into the quest. The whole point of this quest is to overthink the game's shamelessly silly premises.

>>38862033
Sure, absolutely, just saying, it's not sex alone that does the trick. Unless the game is simply assuming that the shipgirls never have sex outside of a legally ratified marriage, anyway.
>>
>>38862108
She better have Johnston in tow.

Tin cans for life.

>>38862052
>>Enterprise
>>Big E reveals her soft, vulnerable flight deck to us

Boner, assuming direct control.

So if we marry Willy Dee she might be almost as useful as a regular ship?

>>38862127
>The whole point of this quest is to overthink the game's shamelessly silly premises.
There is a reasonable degree to which this can be taken, and you're exceeding it.
>>
>>38862052
>>Kongou
>>Convincing the British Battlecruiser that yes, in fact, we are better than Admiral Goto
I will freely admit that Kongou is my favorite shipgirl bar none...but honestly I'd feel really bad turning her away from Goto. It just feels kind of wrong, even if Goto isn't reciprocating her feelings anyway.
>>
>>38862170
I think Goto does somewhat reciprocate, but he doesn't want to do it openly or as boldly as Kongou.
>>

>>38862006
Keep in mind that this POWER OF LOVE shit doesn't deteriorate as you marry more girls.

YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
>>
>>38862165
Right, which is why I said in my first post on the topic that I don't imagine Planefag would even bother bringing the whole marriage mechanic into the quest in the first place.
>>
>>38862127
I suspect certain hardcore otaku are making the assumption that the girls are "pure" until marriage.

>>38862219
More ridiculously over-leveled shipgirls burning a hole into your wall... I mean resources?
>>
>>38862164
Almost as useful as a regular Destroyer, if you can get her to level 150.

Or you could marry anything else.

Also, the benefits are more noticeable the more resources they use.

In other words you should marry a South Dakota, or a carrier.
>>
>>38862170
Probably just not in public.
>>
>>38862052
I don't think Kongou would be a choice nor Arizona for different reasons.

I suspect it'd be mostly japanese shipgirls as it's a factor in why people are reading it. For an OC shipgirl to make it, it'd have to be pretty good.

No we're seeing this all wrong, she's the perfect secret weapon.

She has a bonus on attacking American ships, so any American Abyssals are going to get the wrong end of her luck.
