You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!

Your eyes suddenly snap open.

What you immediately see is a sterile white room. Not out of the ordinary for a hospital or infirmary. Once your eyes adjust to the light, they begin darting around, trying to take in as much information as they could. The last thing you remembered... the last thing you remembered...

Oh right. Vahlen was supposed to be removing this Abyssal growth inside your head. The last thing you remembered was being put under...

You groan as you put a hand to your head. Oddly enough, you didn't feel any scarring or bandages and your hair was still present. Then again, with the healing waters of the repair docks, maybe all the physical indicators of the surgery had already been healed over.

You further look around the room, which was modestly sized. However, what you did notice was that a quick ping of your radar showed that the walls of the room thick. EXTREMELY thick, and made with a material that actually blocked your radar waves so you couldn't see past them. In addition, the door looked to be thick, armored steel held in place by an electronic lock, a little red blip indicating it was securely shut. Up on the ceiling, you could see what was unmistakably a surveillance camera, its sole lens glaring down at you like a curious bird.

Where was everybody?

Something... something didn't quite feel right here.

You immediately press the CALL NURSE button placed next to your bed. You see a light on the wall begin to blink on and off, though you suppose that all you can really do now at this point was wait.

As you sat in your bed, you noticed the distinct lack of reflective surfaces in the room. No mirrors or anything like that. You look at your thankfully still intact arms and legs, and notice that your skin was a bit paler than you remembered. Heck, even your hair was quite the rich dirty blonde you were used, having faded to a dull grey and white at the tips. Some kind of side effect of the operation? You hope that it was only temporary.

Your thoughts were then quickly interrupted when a loud buzzing sound fills the room, and the red light next to the door switches to green. And of all people, Vahlen steps inside, wearing her usual lab/doctor coat with a clipboard in her hands.

"Ah, Hoel, it's good to see that you're awake." Vahlen smiles as she sits on a stool next to the bed. "I'm glad to say that the operation was a complete success! The foreign growth has been removed with minimal adverse effects!"

"Minimal?" You point to your skin and hair. "I'm white as a sheet!"

"Merely cosmetic, and only temporary." Vahlen assures you. "Now tell me, how do you feel?"

"Well, fine, I guess." You shrug.

"And on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being in extreme pain and 10 being comfortable, how do you rate yourself?"

"Ummm, a 9, I guess." You shrug.

"Good, good." Vahlen scribbles more notes down. "Now, all we need to do is run a few more routine tests you'll be free to go!"

Somehow you kind of get the feeling Vahlen isn't tell you the whole truth here.

"A-all right." You nod meekly, in an effort not to put Vahlen on guard.

She calmly packs up her clipboard and heads for the door before pausing.

"If you need anything, just press the button and somebody will come help shortly."

"Understood." You reply softly.

Vahlen then holds the keycard hanging from her neck in front of the red light, which swaps to green with a loud beep and the door swings open. You manage to get a look at the thickness of the door. It didn't look impossible to break through...

You glance to your side and see a small counter stocked with basic medical supplies. Nothing so dangerous like scissors or scalpels, but some basic stuff like band aids and cleaning cloths. You're pretty sure a well placed band aid could easily block the camera's view, assuming there was even somebody watching it. That would give you some time to...

You decide to lure somebody over and then use that chance to escape. You weren't too sure of your chances of breaking through that door on your own, so maybe an alternative strategy was best. Taking a band aid, you quickly tape it over the camera. Hopefully they won't notice it until after you're done.

You then hit the CALL NURSE button and wait patiently by the door as the seconds crawl by. You know that once the door opened, you would only have a narrow window to act.

The light winks from red to green, and the door hisses as it swings open and you see a man in medical scrubs step through-

Unfortunately, the nurse was fast. Faster than you ever expected. In retrospect, it should have occurred to you that in an environment like this, even the nurses that were supposed to be overseeing you would be trained. As you charge him, you see as his eyes narrow. He's surprised, yes, but not scared or panicked. In one smooth, well drilled motion, he grabs your arm, spins you around, and slams you down on the tiled floor with enough force to to crack the tiles, keep your face pressed into them while he immobilizes your arm into an extremely uncomfortable armlock.

"Don't resist. Any more hint of resistance, and I'll break it, and I guarantee I can do it faster than you can harden up." The nurse hisses as he puts his mouth near his collar, no doubt trying to call in the incident over the radio.

However, true to his promise, the nurse quickly and brutally twists your arm, the sudden and unnatural position snapping the bone like a twig.

You scream in pain. Your body hardens up in response, but the damage has already done. Your thoughts go blank as they try to deal with the pain, and before you can think of any semblance of a followup course of action or retaliation, you can hear the sound of dozens of boots crashing repeatedly against tile as an entire squad of heavily armed and armored men fill up the room, rifles pointed directly at you. You glare at them defiantly, tears and fury flowing from your eyes.

"I'll kill you!" You scream yourself hoarse. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!"

"Now now, Hoel, that's no way for a shipgirl like you to talk." Vahlen tuts as she strides in and kneels down in front of you. "All this is being done for your safety. Now, please calm down, and we'll see to fixing that arm of yours.

You only respond with a silent glare. You can feel... SOMETHING bubbling up inside you, like a cold fire building up pressure in a boiler, overriding the pain of your broken arm. Maybe if you could harness that-

"Please don't make this any harder for us. I really do want to help you." Vahlen says reassuringly as she holds a hand out to you.

"Fuck you!" You snap. "Fuck all of you! You guys all think you're so fucking high and might because you know science shit!"

"Doctor..." One of the guards speaks up nervously.

"Wait-" Vahlen cuts him off. "Hoel, please calm down, you might-"

"WELL I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAIL TOO CLOSE TO THE DAMN SUN! YEAH, I READ THAT BOOK, YOU FUCKERS!" You roar as you finally unleash the cold fire burning within you.

There's a massive flash and a sonic boom of a concussion wave, temporarily blinding your optics. When your vision and the dust cloud clears up, you can see Vahlen, the nurse, and the guards all sprawled on the floor or knocked against the walls from the miniature explosion.

And on your back was your Rig, or... something that looked like your Rig. Instead of the standard grey steel, your Rig was now... black. Solid black with blue fire chugging from the smokestack.

What the fuck did they do to you?!

"Hoel, wait!" Vahlen croaks as she tries to get up. "Let me explain-"

"All right, bitch, then TALK." You fume, stomping over to the Doctor. "What the FUCK did you do to me? I thought you were just supposed to take that fucking shit out of my head!"

"We did, well, it technically was not you." Vahlen bites her lip. "You're not the original Hoel. You're a backup, an emergency measure if the original were ever killed."

"W-what?" You gasp.

"Even if you do escape, there's no place for you outside the walls of this lab." Vahlen coughs again. "You'll be safe here, with us."

That's when you can hear the alarm klaxons, as the sound of more stomping boots could be heard. You couldn't stay here any longer.

Especially the mass production part, right? Since we've met multiple Abyssal shipgirls of the same exact model, same exact face, over and over again to the point where the humans even call them mass produced.
>>
>>46849051
At this point, I think it's less a question as to why a backup body is bad and more a "this is a clear violation of human ethical rights", but then you get into the whole "are shipgirls even considered humans" and that's just a stupid argument.

We should find Hoel, definitely, but also find the Admiral and convince him we're not evil, just extremely angry at Vahlen.

Then we should probably go shopping and find a new look for ourselves.

>>46849128
Duplicating people's memories is very unethical. If this was an abyssal with a tabula rosa, then I'd be okay with it. But it's literally Hoel in a Wo's body.
>>
>>46849128
In character we hadn't had time to actually build up dislike of the abyssals. I mean yes, evil bad things killing people is terrible.

But the hate to accept them gleefully cutting apart a live thing wasn't there.

Also meta shit but you already knew that.
>>
>>46849128
we are roleplaying as a shipgirl. We saw some shady shit going on in our superiors, and find out that our enemy are similar to the character in terms of "species", and then we find out that they made an abyssal clone, treating us as a "backup" and calling shipgirls and abyssals "mass produced" and generally treating us like shit.

BUT THIS ABYSSAL CLONE OF SHIPGIRL HOEL CAN SPEAK ENGLISH. SHE CAN TALK WITH HUMANS.

"And I thought the Abyssals were the monsters." You say coldly to Vahlen before turning around and running out the hall.

"WARNING." A loudspeaker voice blares in conjunction with the alarm sirens. "CONTAINMENT BREACH. CONTAINMENT BREACH. ALL NON-COMBAT PERSONNEL, PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR DESIGNATED EVACUATION POINT. ALL COMBAT PERSONNEL MOBILIZE IMMEDIATELY AND REPORT TO YOUR STATIONS."

Well, looks like you weren't sneaking out of here, that's for sure. Thankfully, you had the power of a WWII destroyer at your fingertips. A quick pulse of your radar gives you a direction to go, and you start blasting through walls and doors, making your way to the perimeter before the guards could react or intercept you.

Blasting through the last wall, you can feel a torrent of cold air hit you in the face as you can see the lights of Pearl Harbor shimmering in the darkness. You were out of the lab now, but the problem now was figuring out where to go from here.

The Admiral? He was the head honcho here. Maybe he could do something?

Portland? You may have had your differences, but you know she's a shipgirl you can trust.

Anna? She's practically your best friend.

Or... or if Vahlen was really telling the truth... find you. The REAL you...

>>46849070
Since this Woel, as you call her, has complete up-to-the-minute memories of Hoel, it seems more likely that she was meant to be a real-time backup in case Hoel died in battle.
She isn't spare parts that would get cut up when Hoel needs a new arm, she IS Hoel for when Hoel dies. Of course, then we get into the whole goddamn Ship of Theseus argument and whether a real-time memory link constitutes a continuous stream of consciousness (which is a dumb argument anyway because then we'd have to accept we die each time we go to sleep).

>>46849088
It probably wasn't meant to be, and maybe the removal of the Abyssal neural nodes caused a problem in the memory link between Hoel and Woel, causing the former to sever the link.

Is your argument based on the memories being copied without the source's knowledge, or the the simple act of copying memories?

I get that, but I feel like all I've been seeing is people say is that Vahlen is evil for being mean to the poor Abyssals who did nothing wrong.

>>46849165
>>46849172
I'm not talking about right now, though. Ever since Vahlen first appear people have been crying about how awful and evil she is. Shit, the only difference between what this Vahlen and XCOM!Vahlen is that she's researching horrible monsters that look like cute girls instead of horrible monsters that look like freakish aliens.

This is pretty fucked up though, so I can't say Vahlen isn't just as bad as the Abyssals.

But I think Woel needs to confront herself first. Probably start off by saying something only Hoel knows or would believe, and that the Abyssal fuckers would never know.

And regarding the Admiral knowing, I think he probably didn't know that Woel as she is right now would be the result.

Two copies of the same person being awake at the same time is inherently unethical.

You decide you only choice was to find the other Hoel, IF she existed. It was the only to know for sure if Vahlen was telling the truth. You do remember where her (or your?) typical hangout spots were. Judging at this hour, she (or you?) would most likely be in her (or your) room watching corny movies and internet videos.

God, this was really fucking confusing.

You first try raising her, or anyone really, on the radio, only to be met with ear piercing static. Looks like the eggheads were a step ahead of you and jammed all comms.

And you started hearing alarm sirens blaring from the base as well. No doubt Vahlen telling her own side of the story to the Admiral to spin things in her favor. Fuck.

Fortunately, you remember the base's layout, as well as all of the secret and hidden routes you had learned from Sam. In no time, you make to your quarters, managing to avoid the guards swarming around the area.

You nervously walk up to the door, briefly hesitating when you hear laughter and loud sounds from the inside. It... it sounded like people were having a good time in there.

Maybe.... maybe you shouldn't trouble them with this.

Maybe it would better if you just sailed out into the ocean and never came back. They didn't need to know about you. You're honestly not sure how they'd react, anyways.

You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!

Currently, you were just wasting the night away watching 18th century cooking videos, because why the fuck not. It was about food and it looked delicious! Of course, your sisters were also present, watching the latest iteration of that fucking poptart cat video which you can't for the life you couldn't figure out why it was so popular. Anna was also here, on one of her rare nights off as she watched the cooking videos with great interest as well.

"M-makes me miss Mulberry's cooking." Anna sighs. "I hope she wakes up soon."

"Yeah, it's shame having to rely on that shit from the mess hall." You groan.

"So uh... does it like, hurt or anything?" Anna mumbles nervously, pointing to you head.

"What? No. Never felt a thing!" You chuckle. In fact, you felt better than ever. No more mystery headaches or throbbing sensations. Getting that shit out of your head felt extremely liberating.

And that's when you heard a knock on the door.

"Huh, I'll get that." You say as you slide out of your chair and head over to open it, wondering who could possibly be coming at this hour. "Portland, I swear if this about another noise complaint I'm gonna-

And then you freeze.

Standing in the hallway was... YOU. Well, not you, you. There were certainly some differences, like the pale hair and skin, and how she was wearing a torn and slightly burnt hospital gown with a scared and distressed look on her face.

And a dark thought in the back of your head told you that she would look like if...

...if you were an Abyssal.

Your hand instinctively balls into a fist as you try to figure out how to react.

"Please help me." She (you?) whispers.

"Hey! Hoel!" Johnston yells from behind. "Who is it?"

Simple. Woel explains that Vahlen is making abyssalized "backups" for everyone. So one day, if you die, you might just wake up as an abyssal.

I think that's a pretty fucking good reason.

Abyssal production methods are the only way to produce new shipgirl bodies.
If Abyssal bodies are tainted, then that means that there's something fundamentally corrupted and unclean about Abyssals then, doesn't it?

A vote against backup bodies, even if they're produced using Abyssal sources, is a vote that Abyssals themselves are corrupt and fundamentally wrong.

"They're looking for HER, right?" You point out and grin. "Well, good thing there's two of us!"

"What? You don't mean-" Heerman blinks.

"Yep!" You take off your hat and plop it down on Other You's head. "Anna, grab one of my spare uniforms!"

"R-right!" Anna stammers as she scrabbles over to your clothes drawer.

"So, what are ya planning?" Johnston asks.

"Well." You take off your prized Giants jersey and muss up your hair a bunch. Nothing much you could do about the paleness, but good thing it was dark, so they wouldn't be able to tell the difference, anyways. "You three will take Other Me straight to the Admiral. I'm gonna run interference and distract them. Hopefully give you an opening to slip through."

"Ain't that dangerous?" Johnston gasps.

"Extremely." Heerman confirms.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" You laugh nervously.

"You... you don't have to do this for me." Other You mumbles.

"Nonsense!" You grin as you hug Other You. "I've fought Abyssals, and you for sure aren't one!"

You scan swear Other You is tearing up.

"Hey hey hey, I wouldn't cry at such sentimental shit, so you shouldn't either!" You chortle as you slap her on the shoulder. "You'll be with your sisters and Anna! Everything'll be fine!"

"I-I suppose." Other You nods.

"Right, well." You crack your knuckles. "You all should start heading for the exit now."

As the others head out for the exit, you quietly count down the seconds as you pulse the area with your radar. You can see the rest of the shipgirls, including Other You, Johnston, Heerman, and Anna gathering outside with a metric buttload of armed guys. Looked like Other You managed to pass muster.

Meanwhile, you could sense another team of armed guys stacking up at the building's front and back entrances, no doubt ready to do their sweep.

Time to give them what they wanted.

You sprint over the back door and kick it open, sending it flying off its hinges and slamming into the two men preparing to open it. You then sprint out, you boilers surging with power.

"Target sighted!" You hear one of them say.

"Hold fire, hold fire! We need it alive!" Another soldier grunts.

Heh, that made things easier for you.

You decide to take the on a merry ride through the base. The winding streets and the various buildings would give you ample cover against them.

However, it seemed like Vahlen's thugs were starting to escalate, with black search helicopters and SUVs starting to mobilize, bright white shafts of powerful searchlights sweeping across the streets looking for you.

Fortunately, you remember all of the little hiding spots and shortcuts around the base that Sam had taught you a while back. Vahlen's goons quickly lose track of you and are forced to expand their search area, opening up holes in their formations. Holes large enough for you to slip through as you dash from cover to cover, sticking to back alleys and the shadows as your pursuers search fruitlessly. Finally, you reach the Admiral's office, and notice the light was one. That was a good sign.

Before you even have a chance to knock on the door, it swings open and you see Sam standing there, a grim look on her face as she points her 5 incher right at your face.

"Oh, Hoel!" Sam sighs and her smiles returns. "Good to ya got past them!"

"You, er, Other You explained everything to us already. "

Sam points over to the Admiral's desk, where the Admiral himself was sitting there silently, a grim look on his face. It was barely noticeable, but you could tell the Admiral was quaking with rage. Meanwhile. Other you, your sisters, and Anna were squirming nervously in their seats, almost afraid of what he might do.

"I've never seen him so angry before." Sam whispered to you.

"Ah, Hoel." The Admiral takes a deep breath and welcomes you. "I see you made it."

"Are you okay, Admiral?" You ask.

"I'm fine." He sighs. "I've gotten the gist of what's happening."

"So we're gonna roll out and stick it to Vahlen now, right?" You grin.

"It's not quite so simple." The Admiral sighs. "Realistically, I think our best course of action is to have your... twin escape from Hawaii."

"WHAT?!?!" You blink. "W-why?"

"You have to see it from my position." The Admiral sighs. "What Vahlen did was disgust and reprehensible, yes. But, she's acting under the direct authority of the Department of the Defense. Whatever she was doing, she received it from the highest levels our command, above even my authority. If... if I were to to take her under my custody, I guarantee you that by the morning, I'd receive numerous letters asking, no, ORDERING me to remand your twin back into Vahlen's custody."

"But- but-" You blink.

"I'm sorry, Hoel, all of you." The Admiral bows his head in shame. "I wish I could do more, but I simply can't. I can ensure that your twin can slip through the naval blockade without detection. But that's all I can do. I'm sorry."

Where the hell would Woel go? The abyssals would likely find her and forcibly convert her.

We need to come up with some sort of compromise. Some sort of cover or justification for Woel's existence.

What good is a prototype if it isn't tested? Woel can be given a new identity as a newly returned ship, and is kept away from Valhen due to "stress and security reasons". Neutral medical staff can get Valhen her data.

Yeah, but that's not doing it with a sapient being. Does a clone of a human have rights if the original is still around? They can't lay claim to the identity. It's a giant legal and moral grey area.

Unless you have complete control of the mind being planted into the clone (assuming that the clone undergoes accelerated aging), it's a lot better just to use plastic surgery to alter an existing spy than create one.
And growing clones to create replacement organs is concern that's kind of outdated, what with our new-found technologies which show that bioreactors and 3-D printing of organs is a far, far more reliable and faster method.

Ya, it cant be focused on Vahlen, it has to be getting people to think of the abyssals as parasites. Do you know how hard the public would rally behind trying to save them?

Sure some white lies will be needed, but it's more of telling the truth while being slightly vague and letting the press fill in the gaps with the obvious answers.

>>46851271
>we need to spin it righ to avoid backlash to other Shipgirls.
Also, lying about the program and how Woel was created, like >>46851234
wants to do, it would only be a matter of time before the truth became known.
And then, oh there will be a whole lot of hate on Hoel and Co.
I really want to see that.

"Pale Hoel"
>>
>>46851318
Oh, wikileaks would have an absolute field day if Vahlen, or someone in her program, released the truth.
That the program was meant to provide a way to give shipgirls a form of extra lives, not only to keep shipgirl numbers up in the face of mass produced Abyssals, but to also make sure that the shipgirls, the beloved girls that had protected humanity, wouldn't be lost.

And then Hoel and Woel tells everyone these lies about the program, and caused havoc among the shipgirls leading to Abyssals getting through and wreaking destruction among civilian populations.

This revelation, with some videos of massacred coastal towns in SE Asia, emptied and blood-filled schools in Japan, would whip up such a frenzy among the humans.

I can only hope that Merc actually does it, instead of backing off like he usually does.

Screw that. I don't care for making things 'interesting' in that direction. I actually like the characters after all, and seeing them suffer is the opposite of fun.
>>
>>46851376
There is no way that would be seen as anything other then some shady government coverup. "Extra Lives" is a total bullshit excuse, going public with the program itself is asking for the public to turn on them. We have no need to even mention the program, all we need to do is have Woel come forward say that she's a lone abyssal not being controlled by them who wants to help humanity. We know that the abyssals brainwash them, and trying to help them does not mean that they cant be held in a secure facility. The abyssals are parasites and while some girls may be too far gone to help some others probably arent.
>>
>>46851430
That's why I'm trying to argue against them making such stupid things, instead of letting them ruin the story with their genre blindess and "Raw raw fite the powa" mentality of assuming things will work out just because they're the main character/etc.

Merc may be a generally nice GM, but when people deliberately test his kindness by making self-destructive if not sucidical decisions, then its' really tempting fate.
>>

How is this not a method of getting extra lives?

So you want to lie and obscure the truth, just to get your way.
>>
Guys, we are falling off the board, it was nice arguing with you gentlemen.
>>
>>46851494
well it might be valid but I don't think that's the core reason for the project, but rather Mass produced shipgirls that are perfectly obediant and easy to make. Just the perfect thing to fight (in theory) the abyssals with and then afterwards, policing the world.
>>
>>46851494
Do you think anyone would just go "Ok, they're getting extra lives!"? Fuck no, life isn't a video game. They're going to call bullshit, especially when this program was never public before.

And what part of that is lies? We know abyssals are brainwashing ship girls, we know the fuckers are like parasites, and while we dont know if the girls can be saved we can damn well try.
>>
>>46851532
>policing the world
which is why the public needs to know.
>>
>>46851136
>>Accept
>>
>>46851555
So you believe that they'll call bullshit on the truth, and accept your lies, since Woel is not an Abyssal that escaped from the Abyss and the Abyss tempts but each of the shipgirls chose to go to the Abyss.
In a world of magic, people aren't going to accept that a way of resurrection (when ships are coming up from the depths of the ocean as girls who can magically materialize handheld guns that fire like naval cannons)?

"If it's the only way." You sigh.

"I'm sorry it has to be this way." The Admiral says, obviously ashamed of himself. "Hoel, do you know anybody on the mainland that can take her in?"

"Well..." You frown. The first thing that came to mind was Mary back in Los Angeles. She had been hiding out in her own hull all this time with nobody the wiser. Perhaps she could help out Other You? "I think I know somebody."

"Good." The Admiral nods. "I'll cover for as best I can. I'll have STRIKE-1 and my own men keep the docks open for you. Vahlen doesn't have much authority there so I can hold them off under the excuse of keeping the ships docked there secure. Go now."

"Right." You nod and turn to Other You. "Let's go."

"O-okay." She nods.

With that, your little group, plus Sam now, begin dashing to the docks under the cover of night.

"So, Hoel." Sam starts.

"Yes?" Both you and Other You respond.

"Goddamnit." Sam groans. "We should really give her an actual name."

Not being controlled != escaped

Would you call her anything other then an abyssal? Would such a program going public make them look like anything other then a group that is making abyssals? Do you realized how much the goverments of the world would come after them if it even remotely looked like they could be the cause of the abyssals? We wouldn't have had to go public with the program, we could have just gone public with Woel and she would be politically untouchable.
>>
>>46851638
White Hoel = Whoel = Woel. The name's already perfect as is.
>>
I am pretty sure Woel is fucked, she probably have the abyssal infection still, she be stuck in a "haughted" cruise all day everyday, can't go out to baseball games, gets chased by guys in suits, wanna help the war effort but can't, misses sisters, misses waifu, misses tasty mulberry breakfast, etc.

And you don't think that every other government that still has a working navy that can collect Abyssal carcasses isn't working on their own reverse-engineering and shipgirl supplementation project?
Just because the US was the first to get to it, doesn't mean that the rest of the world is stupid or incompetent.

While her adventures would be cool, I really wanted to see her develop into her own person and what struggles she'd overcome to be accepted by the rest of the ship girls. A character like her has a ton of possible growth and I dont want to have it happen off screen or take away from the main story.

>>
>>46851811
There's a difference between them not doing it and not responding. Studying would be just as acceptable as looking at normal bodies, but once it's known that the US managed to clone their own shipgirl into an Abyssal they'd be practically forced to respond and decry the action from the public outcry.
>>
>>46851887
>they'd be practically forced to respond and decry the action from the public outcry.
Would they really?
With how badly hit the rest of the world has been, with all of the coastlines that have been evacuated, all of the dead who died from starvation as well as direct Abyssal attack, I don't think the world would be horrified at a way being found to create more shipgirls rather than just waiting for them to appear.
Instead, I think they'll embrace it as finally a way to hit back at the Abyssals, maybe one that can finally be done by nations who didn't have the monumental industrial base, sheer number of ships that can be pulled out of mothballs, and infrastructure that the US Navy enjoyed.

Mankind has suffered for years under the threat of the Abyssals, and now there's a way for nations that don't have the shipyards, metals, engineers, and simply the institutional knowledge to build enough conventional ships to protect themselves.
I don't think public opinion would actually go your way.
>>
>>46851638
>Have Other You come up with her own name.
>>
>>46851936
>I don't think the world would be horrified at a way being found to create more shipgirls rather than just waiting for them to appear.
They did not make a ship girl, they made an abyssal. It's not the biggest leap of logic to think they're making all of them and letting them loose since they have a Navy powerful enough to deal with it. The public WOULD turn against them, no question about that.
>>
>>46851993
Then whence come the shipgirls?
If the US military is building Abyssals and releasing them into the oceans, then where are the shipgirls coming from?
It isn't a big leap in logic to think that if the US is the source of Abyssals, then they must also be the ones building shipgirls, since they're two sides of the same coin.

And then shipgirls are just as hated as the Abyssals.
>>
>>46851993
Prediction: there will be a massproduced US-made Abyssal girls and sooner or later the real ones will go ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL on them.

Or some other disaster; after all that's what happens when you try to play god.

"Well, it's only right that she come up with her own name." You say, patting her on the shoulder.

"T-thank you." Other You smiles. "Um, I really haven't thought of anything good yet, so I guess maybe Woel is good?"

"Really? Fucking really?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Is it that bad?" Woel raises an eyebrow.

"Pffft, I'm just fucking with ya!" You laugh as you slap her on the back.

"I know!" Woel laughs in unison with you.

"Holy crap this is so creepy." Heerman frowns.

"I... I can't even tell the difference between them!" Anna mumbles.

"Good luck out there, Woel." You say as you hand a map to her. "Just follow your compass directions and head east. I'll let Mary know you're coming." You tell her.

"Thanks, for everything, really." Woel bites her lip.

"No problem. I guess you're... like another one of my sisters." You grin as you hug her, and then yelp as Heerman, Johnston, Sam, and even Anna join in on the hug.

"You... you guys..." Woel sniffs.

However, the moment is ruined by the thumping of helicopter rotors. The search was starting to drift into your area now.

"Go." You say simply, reluctantly pushing your new sister away.

"See... see you soon, I hope." Woel waves reluctantly as she sails off.

All you can do is wave back.

As you sail away into the night, the lights of Hawaii and Pearl Harbor grow dimmer and dimmer in the distance, until they disappear over the darkened horizon. The Admiral had warned you not to use your radar, or at least use it only sparingly. You decide to take the risk and let out a couple of pings. Nothing in range. Not even a fishing boat. Looks like the Admiral kept his word.

But the question was... what to do now?

You look to the east, where the mainland was. Hoel assured you that you'd be safe with Mary at Los Angeles but... was that what you really wanted? To just hide out in the guts of a ship for the rest of your life?

You then turn back to the south and the west, where there was nothing but open ocean. Uncertainty. But... you felt that going there was somehow the RIGHT decision.

It wasn't just your imagination, was it...?

>Head for the mainland.
>Head for the open sea.

>>46852032
Easy: Ship girl comes back, big bad evil America experiments on her wanting more for MUH IMPERIAL SCHEMES, produces Abyssal, everyone's fucked.

Now all ship girls must be rescued from America and/or defect from America and the USA is screwed even more.

Regardless coming out saying that there was a program that managed to make an Abyssal would be shooting themselves in the foot.

So all the shipgirls who remember the Frozen North are just going to go along with this lie?
Or the shipgirls of over nations who are fighting to keep the sea lanes open are going to accept the US Navy doing even less of the work?

And what happens when an investigation is launched and it's found that everything you just said is a lie? That Abyssal attacks continue or get even worse, after the truth gets out and it's proven there are no US Navy Abyssal manufacturing centers?

You seem to not understand the difference between "lies" and publicly held misconceptions. It doesn't matter that the US didn't create the first one, no one needs to say they did, people will jump to that conclusion from the fact that they DID manage to make an abyssal. It'll take a decade for people to accept that this was a one off thing, and it'll look worse if they say they're able to mass produce them.
>>

>>46852094

>>46852223
Now why would they jump to such a stupid conclusion, when the Abyssals have been around for years, biological sciences have been advancing for years, why would it seem so outrageous that after years of studying Abyssals, one has been reverse-engineered?

There's no chain of logic that connects "we can now do thing" to "we must have been able to do thing in the past".
This is just wishful thinking on your part, rather than something that's reasonable.
>>
>>46852094
>Head for the mainland.
>>
>>46852263
Because the "reverse-engineered abyssal" is not a clone of an abyssal, it's the clone of ship girl. And when has the public EVER been reasonable? In a time of crisis they would LOVE to jump at a target for being the cause of their woes, the bigger the target the better, mob mentality is a thing and is noted for making otherwise perfectly fine people act irrationally.

You decide to head for the mainland, like Hoel had told you. You future was uncertain, and you weren't even sure if you were even going to make it there.

But... you might as well try, right?"

---

"It seems you little experiment was a failure, Doctor."

"On the contrary, I see it as an unqualified success. I think the problem is that we have been approaching the issue the wrong way, Director."

"How so?"

"So far, we have been obsessed with trying to build replacements for shipgirls, which is problematic on many levels, as we have seen."

"And what do you propose?"

"We eliminate the need for replacements, and make completely new units from the ground up. All of the relevant research and processing have already been completed. All that's left is to discover a more reliable way of... inserting the human element."

"..."

Because the whole thing can be easily made into a story about how a reverse-engineered Abyssal broke out and has fooled a handful of gullible shipgirls into supporting her, delaying and working against a weapon project that would end the Abyssal menace once and for all.

Find a volunteer. Someone who goes into the project wanting to do their part to win the war, and is willing to have their mind copied hundreds of times over into new bodies.

Get rid of the stale existential angst from the very beginning, and instead replace it with exhilaration and a sense of liberation from fear and doubt.
>>
>>46852359
Humans are much more inclined to accept an inspiring story of a girl fighting for her place in the world rather then a shady government group saying that they have found the key to mass producing the enemies that have been slaughtering the human race and that they can be controlled.
