We aren't *that* badly off. We've got a strike spotted, and while I don't fancy tangling with the SAG, we can probably delay action until we can launch off a second strike.

We are that "Carrier Task Force" in the northwest, correct? We should be able to delay things by sailing north.

Have Kongou tend to Goto, we're in some deep shit and need to get our forces in order pronto. No time to have one admiral getting the other admiral back to his senses.

And whatever we do, DO NOT PICK UP THE PHONE. Maybe Goto is just freaking out over something he heard on the other end, but for all we know he's been the victim of some kind of Abyssal juju weapon, and the last fucking thing we need is to let it take out another of our leadership.

I'd target the CVs. Samar showed that a CTF, even at a disadvantage, can really mess with a SAG, but we need to clear out the damn carriers first.

We can probably spot Hornet's bombers after launching CAP, and use them to harass the SAG.

>>41166966
Carriers first. The subs can harry the surface group, and if you secure air superiority you can hassle the fuck out of an approaching surface combatant even at close range.

Whatever Goto heard made him break down screaming. It can't be anything good or USEFUL.

So I don't see why we should do so too.

I mean, what are we going to do if it IS an Abyssal and it starts talking to us? Snark back? What good would THAT do, trading verbal barbs, when we can just start getting our shit together instead?

>>41167255
Hmmm. Temporary disability can be fatal in battle. Goto is struck dumb for now, though he may recover.

Ok, so it sounds crazy due to the chaos of all the reports flooding in at once, but assuming I'm parsing what Planefag's written correctly we're not dealing with all that horrendously much. Not sure which of these is what on the map, but what we have is:

>Chikuma's scout #5 reports:
10 surface units (2 carriers + heavy escort group)

>Hornet's scouts at Chichi-Jima reports:
At least 6 cruisers & 2 destroyer divisions with flotilla leaders

>Tone's scout #4 reports:

And with luck, so shall we, as soon as Kaga and Akagi's strikes hit the enemy CTF.

Flank speed north, DDs to make smoke as appropriate, we may be able to stall the enemy long enough to recover the main strike and launch at the enemy SAG. I'm guessing there's a good chance we can at least get Hornet's bombers into the air to deal with the SAG.

>The Nakajima B6N Tenzan (Japanese: 中島 B6N 天山—"Heavenly Mountain", Allied reporting name: "Jill") was the Imperial Japanese Navy's standard carrier-borne torpedo bomber during the final years of World War II and the successor to the B5N "Kate". Due to its protracted development, a shortage of experienced pilots and the United States Navy's achievement of air superiority by the time of its introduction, the B6N was never able to fully demonstrate its combat potential.

>The Yokosuka (横須賀?) D4Y Suisei (彗星 "Comet"?) Navy Carrier Dive bomber was operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Its Allied reporting name was "Judy". The D4Y was one of the fastest dive-bombers of the war and only the delays in its development hindered its service while its predecessor, the slower fixed-gear Aichi D3A, remained in service much longer than intended. Despite limited use, the speed and the range of the D4Y was nevertheless valuable, and the type was used with success as reconnaissance aircraft as well as for kamikaze missions.

Hell, the turkeys carried those two.

>>41167346
Likely. In particular, I expect we might be missing info about Iwo Jima (I'm guessing probably more carriers, rather than all those birds being from the ones Chikuma found, especially since the scout would need to be more cautious with so much enemy air power around). Possibly also with the group Chikuma's scout found, since they report heavy cloud cover, which might be obscuring Abyssal ships from view.

But from what we do know, it seems manageable, even with some unknowns in the mix, assuming we play it smart and don't lose our shit.

Also, looking up coordinates for Iwo Jima and Chichijima, I've made sense of the map. Chichijima is almost directly north of Iwo Jima, so that makes it the nearest enemy contact to our CTF. Iwo Jima would be the one further south, while the one off to the east is the Abyssal carrier group reported by Chikuma's plane.

Right, because we fully understand their motivations, resources, restrictions, and modes of operation.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should hold off on nukes because we don't understand the enemy very well.

The fact that they probably don't have nukes?

Also, nobody actually knows WHY the Abyssals are attacking. And again, you don't know what effects nukes would have.

You try to work up spit in your dry mouth to no avail. Picking the force-wide channel, you swallow and speak into your mic. “Destroyers Yuudachi, Shigure, Yukikaze, Hayashimo: you are now Division One. Your senior-most destroyer is Division Leader. Destroyers William D. Porter, Fubuki, Shiranui and Sammy B, you are now Division Two. Shiranui is your division leader. Division Two, hold position as plane guards for now. Division Two, I want you screening fifteen thousand yards ahead of the force – keep your sonars on. Mustin, it's time to start your ASW patrols.”

“Aye, sir.”

With that taken care of, you eyeball the phone. Goto's curled up on the floor, weeping, clutching his head miserably. Kongou's picking him up and pulling his head against her chest, cradling him protectively, a look of sheer miserable terror on her face. Shoukaku is standing in the middle of the room, stunned. Kisaragi is right next to her; clutching her arm like a safety blanket, a take-out bag of food forgotten on the table beside her.

And through it all is that black phone, swinging and swinging on the end of its cord; the dark holes in the receiver drinking in every bit of it.

You don't remember stepping towards the table. You don't remember picking up the phone. You barely recall Shoukaku's sudden abortive shout of panic; her fruitless last-second lunge for your arm as you press the receiver against your ear.

At first, there's static – and then a sharp crackling, like something hard snapping and splintering. An awful gurgle drifts over the open line; a meaty, organic sound that resonates with something living in your brain-stem; making the back of your neck itch with a gut instinct older than the pyramids. And then there's only the static; brief and fitful.

Nuclear weapons are desperation. The amount of environmental damage done to the ocean, and specifically to the island of Iwo Jima, which they may have taken over, is simply not worth it.

Shoukaku seizes your arm with desperate strength, but you twist your whole body around, prying it out of her grip. Her dogged grip only throws her hip into the table, but you refuse to yield – she yelps as she loses hold and goes tumbling clear over the obstacle.

You listen to the static. You don't strain to discern the snatches and murmurs of voices that dance at the edge of audibility. You just let it wash over you like the tide crashing against a sea cliff... and wait.

>No abyssals in-quest have had energy shields, so sod off

And no Abyssals in-quest have been engaged with nuclear weapons. Knowing their 2spooky magic bullshit they have shit for just that occasion, but it doesn't work with conventional weaponry.

It's a hallucination I think.

Ok then why dont we expose OUR girls to it to give them extra-more superpowers then?

Seriously people the Abyssals just proved they can take over entire landmasses at fucking will. Why are we not eliminating them with EXTREME prejudice?
