You chuckle darkly as you dial Sammy's number. She had to know!

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!" You yell when you hear her pick up.

"Ah! What the fuck, Hoel?!" Sam snaps. "I'm trying to get these damn transfer orders filled out!"

Dohoho, so this is what the Admiral arranged to ensure Sam wouldn't cross paths with Kongou.

Well, sorry Admiral, but you had to torpedo this finely crafted plan of yours.

"Hey, Sam, ya know that Kongou is here?"

There's several seconds of long silence.

"...what." She replies flatly.

"Yep!" You nod. "And it looks like she's gonna sexually assault the poor Captain, too!"

"Location. Now."

"Anna, send her the GPS coordinates." You instruct the comm ship.

"B-but-"

"FUCKING DO IT ANNA OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL REACH THROUGH THIS PHONE AND STRANGLE YOU!" Sam roars loud enough that even Anna can hear it.

"Okay! Okay!" Anna wails as her antenna twitches wildly.

"You don't know what you've just done." The Admiral sighs.

Oh no, you needed to stay and watch this. It's not long when you see a girl in a miko dress round the corner, a huge dust cloud behind her indicating how fast she had been moving. Her head swivels around as she scans the area until her eyes lock on to the Captain like a feline predator.

"Teitoku~!" She yells sweetly as she spins to his direction and starts ramping up speed.

You were just about to ask the Captain why Kongou was calling him that when suddenly, out of fucking nowhere, Sam explodes out from a side alley like a goddamn missiles, tackling Kongou with enough force that the two ships are knocked off the edge of the pier and into the water which had to be a good forty feet away.

"IT'S PAYBACK TIME, KONGOUUUUU!" Sam roars.

"Oh! Sammy! Long time no see, dess!" Kongou says happily as she and the destroyer escort roll and splash on the water's surface, seemingly completely oblivious to Sam's killing intent. "I see you're just as cute as ever!"

"FLATTERY AIN'T GONNA SAVE YOU!" Sam bellows back as a flurry of tiny fists pounds against Kongou's hull.

"At least we're still in the base." The Admiral shakes his head.

The Captain says nothing but you can see him give a small and brief sigh of relief.

The flurry of punches continue, but being just a mere destroyer escort, Sam didn't really have much stamina, especially when she's not fully rigged up. Finally, the punches begin to slow and cease altogether, leaving a panting and tired Sam straddling Kongou. Kongou was still largely intact, though you could see quite a number of bruises and swelling from all the blows. She wasn't completely unscathed.

"All done?" Kongou chirps.

"Fuck... I guess so." Sam grunts, her frustration and anger seemingly drained out of her. You suspect she really needed the catharsis. Plus the fact that Kongou didn't really seem to fight back appeared to throw her off.

"Great!" Kongou then stands up and stows Sam away under her shoulder. "It's almost time for mid morning tea, dess! Haruna, Kirishima, and Hiei would love to see you again too!"

"W-wait!" Sam stammers as she struggles in the battleship's iron grip. "I still have paperwork to finiiiiish!"

"Well, this was unexpected." The Admiral notes. "Though I honestly can't complain."

>>844699
Nah, it looks like she's good for now. You give Sam a teasing wave as she's carried off and Sam responds with a one fingered salute.

Well, she needed to get out more, anyways.

"Well, I suppose that didn't quite go as planned." The Admiral sighs and then regains his cheerful disposition. "But you managed to avoid her for today, Captain! I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors!"

"Much appreciated, sir." The Captain grumbles, totally not appreciative at all.

"Well, seeing as how my secretary is currently... indisposed, I suppose I'm going to have to finish those transfer orders myself." The Admiral begins to saunter off. "Oh, and Hoel, Anna, do please behave yourselves. I hope you aren't quite as blunt as Sam is when it comes to greeting our foreign allies."

"W-we won't do anything of the sort!" Anna snaps off a salute.

"Yeah yeah, I won't burn down anything." You roll your eyes.

With that, the Admiral gives you both a respectful nod and takes his leave.

"I suppose I owe you one for this, Hoel." The Captain sighs.

"Y-you have a past with Kongou, don't you?" Anna asks, now suddenly very inquisitive. Honestly, you were kind of curious, too.

"Perhaps another time.." The Captain grimaces. "Anyways, there will be a mission briefing in an hour. I suggest you take care of whatever you're doing.

And the Captain takes his leave, too, leaving you with just Anna now.

"S-so what now?" Anna asks.

And so the two of you set off again, to go search for the ever elusive Naka-chan.

However, as you and Anna comb all the sections of the base, you fail to find any sign of Naka around. Finally, you see two Japanese shipgirls. A blonde wearing a black school uniform and a brunette with a white and green uniform.

Funnily enough, the blonde destroyer seemed to resemble you. Of course, there were a few key differences like a small black hair tie on her forehead and two little tufts of hair resembling dog ears. But, otherwise, it was like looking in the mirror.

"Hey! Heeeeey!" You wave your arms at them to flag their attention. "Can I ask ya two a question?"

"Sure! Go ahead, poi!" The blonde destroyer grins. "Hoel, right? I'm Yuudachi!"

"And I'm Mutsuki!" The brunette adds, her voice as loud and confident as Yuudachi's.

"And I'm Annapolis!" Anna smiles. "U-um, do either of you know where we can find Naka?"

The two Japanese destroyers look at each other and then look back.

"I'm so sorry!" Mutsuki bows her head as if the whole thing is her fault. "Naka's currently off on tour!"

"Tour?" You frown.

"Yep, poi!" Yuudachi nods. "Something about 'boosting civilian morale,' so Naka's going on a nationwide tour!"

"Actually, I think she's actually going overseas to America for a few concerts, too!" Mutsuki adds.

"Either way, she's not going to be back for a while, poi." Yuudachi nods.

"O-oh..." Anna droops, now suddenly discouraged.

"H-hey, cheer up, poi! Maybe they'll change plans, right Mutsuki?" Yuudachi tries to reassure her.

"Y-yeah! That can totally happen!" Mutsuki nods in agreement.

"I guess I was hoping for too much. "Anna sighs.

"I'm sorry, Anna." You put a hand on her shoulder. "I know you were really looking forward to meeting her."

"Anyways, we heard there was gonna be a big briefing soon, poi!" Yuudachi continues, trying to change the subject. "You two want to come with us?"

"Sure, why not." You shrug. "C'mon, Anna."

"Yeah, okay!" Anna's already recovering back to her normal cheerful self.

"Oh wow, it really is true, isn't it?" Mutsuki observes.

"What is, poi?" Yuuadachi asks.

"You and Hoel look so alike!" Mutsuki giggles.

"Really?" Yuudachi looks at you, then back to Mutsuki. "Are you sure, poi?"

"You two do, really!" Anna chuckles.

"No WAY, poi!" Yuudachi then looks at you, the confusion clear on her face. "Is that true? I don't see it all, poi!"

"We might as well be twins, poi." You nod with a smug grin.

"Wow, everybody really thinks that?" Yuudachi frowns. "Weird."

"Oh, OH!" Mutsuki puts a hand up to her mouth to suppress a giggle, and then leans over to whisper something in Anna's ear.

"No.... no! That's too crazy!" Anna yelps.

"What's too crazy?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Mutsuki wants to play a prank!" Anna whines.

"You two should totally swap clothes before the briefing! See if anybody notices!" Mutsuki snickers.

"P-poi...?" Yuudachi blinks in confusion.

A few minutes and clothes changing later, and you are now wearing Yuudachi's uniform while Yuudachi was wearing yours. Goddamn, even your sizes were near identical!

"It's a perfect fit!" Mutsuki gives a thumbs up.

"Poi.... this feels kinda weird, poi." Yuudachi frowns.

"You look good!" Mutsuki gives a thumbs up.

"You look p-pretty cool, too, Hoel." Anna says bashfully.

"Awww, thanks." You smile and pat Anna on the head.

At this point, the four of you had reached Yoksuka's main briefing room. It was not the moment of truth...

The four of you shuffle into the briefing room, and at the very least, you're not immediately found out. Everybody's attention is focused up front, after all. However, to maintain the illusion, Yuudachi goes off with Anna while you go off with Mutsuki. She leads you to a seat near the front next to another Jap destroyer, Fubuki, if you're recalling correctly.

"Mutsuki! Yuudachi! You made it!" Fubuki sighs with relief. "Where were you two?! I thought you were going to be late!"

"I guess we just sort of lost track of the time, poi." You respond, remembering Yuudachi's verbal tic.

"Ah, well, you should be more careful!" Fubuki tuts.

Mutsuki nearly gives things away as she fights not to break out in laughter.

At this point, more and more shipgirls, both American and Japanese, begin to filter in.

You decide to keep playing this dangerous game with the other ships. You can see the Jap ships coming in in distinct groups. First of all, the battleships. The various Kongous, Nagato, and Yamato being the most prominent. Then there were the carriers, like Kaga, Akagi, Shoukaku, and Zuikaku who all seemed to be grudgingly getting along with Enterprise's 'encouragement'. For the cruisers, you could see Atago, Takao, and Kumano. Finally, to round things out, DesDiv 6 came skipping in.

You meander a bit over to where Atago and her sister Takao are sitting. Now that you were up this close, you could see the rumors about how, erm, "well developed" they were. Like, holy shit, their sizes rivaled that of most of the battleships and carriers!

Then again, considering how your sister Johnston was built, you really didn't have room to question.

"Oh, Yuudachi! Good morning!" Atago says with an almost boundless cheer.

"Just as energetic as ever." Takao chuckles, though you weren't too sure if she was referring to you or her sister.

"Oh, it's just so exciting to see the American shipgirls here!" Atago smiles. "And all the destroyers they brought are just absolutely adorable!"

A-adorable? The Fletchers maybe-

"Especially Taffy 3!"

W-what?

"A-adorable how, poi?" You stammer, trying to keep your cool.

"Mmmmm, well." Atago giggles. "Heerman is like the cool and quiet type, but I can tell she wants to just let loose and have fun like everybody else! I think she needs a little pan paka pan!"

Pan paka what?

"And Johnston looks like she could be your little sister!" Takao chuckles.

"I know, right?" Atago nods. "I almost mistook her for a cruiser! For a destroyer to have that size... Americans truly are amazing, aren't they?"

"And... what about Hoel, poi?" You put forward the most important question.

"Mmmmmm, well." Atago grins. "I think she likes to put up a tough front, but in reality she's actually very sweet and loving on the inside!"

Meanwhile, Atago's pan paka pans swayed back and forth as she talked, almost mesmerizing you.

"Interesting... poi." You nod. You weren't sure if you agreed with Atago's assessment of Hoe- YOU. But, well, something about her words kind of resonated in you.

Maybe she wasn't as airheaded as her outward appearance seemed to suggest.

"Uh oh, it looks like they're going to start soon!" Atago observes. You turn to see the Captain and Admiral file into the room. "You should get back to your seat, Yuudachi!"

"Yeah, I probably should, poi." You nod.

"Okay, see you later, Yuudachi! Pan paka paaaaaan~!" Atago says happily as she raises her arms in the air.

There's a brief awkward silence before you catch on.

"P-pan paka paaaaan." You respond, aping Atago's motions.

"Good luck, Yuudachi!" Atago waves as you quickly break off.

Well, looks like this whole disguise thing worked waaay better than intended.

Is Hoel more lethal than the Nightmare of Solomon?

Also wonder what's the command structure for the Japanese shipgirls like, do they have their own TTK and shireikans?

>>845631
I mean us as the Abyssal Whisperer. If it was just normal killing shit it wouldn't be so bad, but when was the last time that we went on a mission that didn't have some Abyssal princess trying to drag us to the other side?

You head back to sit between Mutsuki and Fubuki. Mustuki gives you a silent thumbs up while Fubuki gives a welcoming nod.

And that's when the lights darken, illuminating the stage where the Captain and Admiral standing.

"Let's get this briefing started." The Captain clears his throat before leaning into the mic. "First things first, it is nice to be running joint operations between the US Navy and JMSDF. For those of you who had been here at the beginning of the conflict, it is good to see you all again."

That's when you hear somebody, probably Kongou, squeal with happiness before the sound is quickly cut off, most likely muffled by a concerned sister.

"And I hope that like last time, both American and Japanese shipgirls can work together to defeat the Abyssal threat." The Captain continues.

"We are entering a new phase in this war, and your ability to cooperate and work together will be needed more than ever." The Admiral adds.

"What's this new phase you're talking about?" Nagato asks, a bit skeptical.

"We will be transitioning from shore defense and convoy escort to full offensive operations." The Captain explains. "We will clear all major Abyssal resistance in the Pacific and in preparation for a strike into the Arctic Dark Zone itself."

The room becomes abuzz with whispers and nervous glances, at least until the Captain clears his throat again.

"While our ultimate objective is to the north, we must first secure our southern flank." The Captain continues as the projector shows a map of a bunch of islands. "This is the Strait of Malacca, an important shipping route that acts as the gateway between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Abyssals have been using this route to reinforce their southern strongholds in Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as stage raids on the southeast Asian continent. While we do have forces there dedicated to interdicting Abyssal traffic, it was never enough to completely block the strait. We aim to change that."

The projection then shifts to show numerous blue arrows converging on the single strait.

"Our aim here is to retake Singapore from the Abyssals. Its strategic location means that by holding it, we can effectively block all Abyssal traffic attempting to move though the strait, which will cut off the outlying Abyss strongholds and secure our southern flank."

"Are we going to be assaulting them now?" Iowa asks.

"Not yet." The Captain shakes his head. "We need to muster conventional forces to help seize the city. However, we will be sending an advance unit of shipgirls to act as both recon in force and to support our existing assets in the area. In fact..."

A red circle then appears on the map, southeast of Singapore and a little north of Jakarta.

"We've just received word that we've lost contact with Saratoga and her escort Hazelwood. They were supposed to be performing air recon on the strait. Our advance party's first objective will be to find them and confirm their status. We'll have Tafffy 3 take point. Midway and Enterprise will also be accompanying you."

"Do keep in mind that we should be operating in tandem with the JMSDF shipgirls, to promote our alliance." The Admiral points out.

"I've kept that in mind." The Admiral nods. "Kaga will be added to the lineup. Iowa and Kongou will form the main battle ship line. Since Portland is still out of action, the cruiser lineup will be San Francisco, Kumano, and Dorsetshire. Destroyer Division 6 will round out our destroyer force. Hoel, since you're acting lead with Portland's absence, do you have anything to add?"

You almost stand up to say something, but sit back down. Shit, you were still technically Yuudachi! You see Yuudachi, dressed as you, freeze, and then just silently shake her head furiously.

"Then it's settled." The Captain concludes. "All ships in the advance party, meet on the pad in thirty minutes. Everybody else, stand by for further assignment. Dismissed."

And just like that, the briefing as over. You immediately take the chance to swap back your clothes with Yuudachi. No way in hell you two were going to be switching places in battle.

"That was really scary... but kinda exciting, poi!" Yuudachi giggles. "They really thought I was you, poi!"

"Same here." You chuckle. "Anyways, I gotta go. Good luck, Yuudachi."

"I should be saying that to you, poi!" Yuudachi laughs as she breaks off to reunite with Mutsuki and Fubuki.

All right, time to get down to business...

You suppose you should say goodbye to Portland. She couldn't come along on this mission and who knew when you'd be able to see her again when you set out. You weave your way through all the departing shipgirls and head for the repair dock.

Like Shen's workshop, the workshop in Yokosuka stored all of the shipgirls' Rigs, where a veritable army of mechanics and fairies worked tirelessly 24/7 to make sure they were all in tip top shape. The addition of a number of new American Rigs weren't making their jobs any easier, but Shen had the foresight of sending some of his staff over to assist while he arranged the relocation of his equipment.

And deeper into the workshop were the repair docks, where shipgirls went to heal their injuries. Due to the seriousness of Portland's damage, she was moved to one of the private pools for specialized treatment. As you head over, you see a pink haired girl working the Rig line alongside the mechanics.

She was a repair ship, if you remember correct. Erm, Akashi, you think.

"Can I help you?" Akashi asks as she wipes down her greased hands with a rag. "Are you looking for a tuneup?"

"No, I'm just here to visit Sweet Pea -I mean- Portland." You say.

"Oh! Of course, just that way!" Akashi points helpfully to a numbered door. "She's open for visitors, but just make sure you don't stress her too much, or... allow her to leave. She still hasn't fully recovered yet!"

"I'll keep that in mind." You nod as you follow Akashi's directions.

Finally, you see Portland, sitting in the pool so the water was going up to her waist as she was reading something on her tablet. Upon seeing you enter, Portland immediately closes her tablet and locks the screen.

"Oh, Hoel, I didn't expect you to visit." She huffs, trying to stay stoic.

"Hah, I bet you were looking forward to this all day!" You laugh as you kneel on the side of the pool. "Bored, huh?"

"Extremely." Portland groans. "Akashi won't clear me for another 48 hours. But I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I did sort of get my leg blown off."

Indeed, as you look through the water, you could see Portland's bare leg, as well as the pale line indicating where it had very recently been reattached.

"Well, go ahead, then." Portland sighs.

"Go ahead with what?" You raise an eyebrow.

"You're going to chastise me about making you worry, taking a hit like that, aren't you?"

"Right on the money as always." You grin. "That was pretty fucking stupid."

"Yeah, well, I made a call, and I made sure Enterprise was protected." Portland sighs.

"E's a big girl, she can take a hit." You point out.

"Can we really afford to take such a risk?" Portland counters. "Anyways, the Captain told me about the plan. You've really got your work cut out for you."

"So, do you think Saratoga and Hazelwood are-"

"Of course not." Portland shakes her head. "Saratoga is... pretty tenacious. I wouldn't worry about her. And Hazelwood is a Fletcher. That's really all you need to know. I'm sure they're fine."

"It's gonna suck without you there." You sigh.

"Which is why I've have to trust it all to you." Portland nods. "Even though your leadership isn't exactly ideal, it gets girls home alive, and that's what counts. Don't let us down."

"Ha... no pressure, huh?" You laugh nervously.

"Everyone with you is experienced. They know what they're doing." Portland reminds you. "Now go out there and get it done."

"I won't disappoint." You grin as you give off a salute.

Portland returns the salute and goes back to her tablet browsing. You're almost tempted to tell her about the threat the Abyssals made against her, but... well... you didn't have the hear to. At least not yet. You're not even sure if she'd believe you.

Anyways, time to focus on the mission. There were missing shipgirls out there that needed your help.

>And that's all for tonight! As always, next thread is next week. And don't forget Infinite Stars on Saturday!
