Chapter 3..5-3: The Final Frontier
The van pulled up to an old hangar. The place was clearly run down as chips of paint was flaking off of the tan walls.

"Welcome to the Orbiter processing facility. Or that's what it would've been." Hansen says with his arms wide open.

"There should've been a few more hangars." Georgia says and Hansen nods

Though unfortunately there was supposed to be three. Challenger would have been lost killed most large civilian payloads, Especially the loss of trust in NASA after Challenger. 15 years later Columiba was lost on re-entry, basically putting the program on its deathbed; it was safer to solely fly to the ISS so the silicon panels could be inspected. I mean could they have inspected the heat shielding without the ISS yes. The Canadaarm held a long boom with a camera on it which took several hours.

Hansen is fiddling with his keys at the door when Georgia wakes up from her thoughts.

The side door creaks open as Hansen shoulders it. The trio set their eyes on what was to once be a great spaceship, the door kicking no small amount of dust into the air which is lit up by the rays of light from the windows.

"Alright, come on in." Hansen says as a flick of a switch turns a few of the many lights on the roof.

Sitting there on the Nose of the orbiter was a girl. Her pale skin, glowing green eyes, and her translucent hair set her apart from most ship girls.

"Someone has come to visit me after so long?"

Georgia steps back at the sight of what was clearly a siren. Though the girl was also unarmed.

"Oh? You can see me?" The girl says hopping off the nose of the spaceplane.

"Challenger?" Georgia asks skeptically.

"Yes?" The girl asks with a head tilt.

Georgia pulls out a blue cube

"I feel like you need this as much as all the other ship spirits." Challenger says

"What is it?" Challenger and Hansen ask at the same time

"Wasn't there a test shuttle?" Enterprise asks out loud.

Hansen looks over at the carrier which shares a name with the space plane while Georgia shoves the cube forward into Challenger's chest.

"Ow, that was painful. Is that meant to hurt?" Challenger asks

"The state of your main body doesn't help." Georgia says looking around the much shorter girl towards the Oribter.

"Where is the Enterprise at?" Georgia asks

"It's slated for scrapping." Hansen says nervously.

"What would it take for you to give her up?" Georgia asks

"You want to buy Space Shuttle Enterprise?" Hansen asks

"Yes. I'll give you rocket plans. Maps of the universe, amazing photos that will drive astronomers insane." Georgia says

"That's"

"Not enough? Money isn't an issue. What if I were to kill the Simurgh for you? Last time I was enjoying the fight. This time it would be personal." Georgia says

Hansen starts to sweat realizing that Georgia was serious.

"I could just give her to you, Rumors of that Museum would be more than enough." Hansen says nervously

Challenger whistles in amazement.

"Take the deal Hansen, she knows a lot more than she should." Challenger says.

"International Space Station. Artemis, Orion. I could name the other 3 shuttles as well." Georgia says flatly watching Hansen's jaw drop.

"You're a space nerd? I thought those were extinct, especially with capes becoming prevalent." Hansen says

"Hansen, check your email later." Georgia says as she grabs Enterprise and starts marching towards the door.
====================================
Hansen was in his office the ship girls had come and left like a storm. He was stuck writing reports for ONI now. However the experience was worth it.

Logging into his email he sees a message that says I deliver on my promises.

Clicking the Email he sees a 500GB file.

"She does deliver on them I guess, that's a large file." Challenger says looking over Hansen's shoulder.

"It's compressed and still 500 gigabytes." Hansen says in shock wondering how that was sent through a single email.
==========================================
Meanwhile on a cargo ship heading for Brockton Bay.

"Relocation to a Museum huh? Challenger sure seemed excited, shame she said she wouldn't ruin the surprise."

11:53 PM

Georgia looks out at the city of Brockton Bay as they pull into port.

It was an exciting trip stopping by nearly every ship museum they could in the 6 days since they saw grandma texas.

(Will I write about her visiting them? Maybe as a side chapter.)

Georgia sighs as they all slowly pull into the docks.

"You okay?" Enterprise asks

"Yeah, it's just my birthday/ launching day," Georgia says

That gives the seasoned carrier pause. After all how could a ship that was never built have a launch date.

"Right, so… what do you want us to do?" Atlanta asks

"Well, you could have your crew work on the bunks? It should fit nicely near the convention center. Until then how about I summon someone's steel hull and we sleep aboard?" Georgia asks

"Could it not be my steel hull? I still have my prizes aboard." Archerfish says

"What kind of prizes…" Georgia says looking at the submarine.

The girl looks away and whistles innocently, which makes it more obvious that she's done something.

"I may have borrowed some stuff. It's normal for subs to have to acquire their own equipment and such." Archerfish explains

"That tells me nothing, what did you steal?" Georgia asks

"A pair of pants, this cool looks mask, a grenade launcher, some telephone wire, and a Mark 48 torpedo," Archerfish says dismissively.

"A pair of pants?" Enterprise asks confused

"Yeah, it belonged to that Alex woman," Archerfish says

"In LA? You pickpocket a pair of pants?" Georgia asks her head starting to hurt.

"Yes?" Archerfish responds

"Right, Atlanta you're hosting us tonight!" Georgia says summoning the cruiser's hull.

=====================
March 13th 2011

Surprisingly the city of Brockton bay did not panic at the sight of the massive cruiser in the bay. To them it was just a normal day.

Danny was looking out of his bedroom window and his instincts just told him it was going to be a long day. Or it might have been the massive Cleveland class cruiser sitting in the bay. It was hard to tell at this point.

"Dad, do you see the?!" Taylor shouts from upstairs

"Yes Taylor, I see it! It's a Cleveland class cruiser!" Danny shouts back

A much quieter "Georgia?" Is what follows Danny's shout.

=======================
The rig was in a panic after all when a massive cruiser showed up and your main base of operations was well within weapons range. It did a lot to make the government organization well and truly nervous.

"Armsmaster… do I even want to know?" Piggot asks, holding her forehead in her hand.

"Ma'am, even I have just decided to ignore them." Armsmaster admits.

"So we just are collectively deciding to ignore the active warship sitting in the bay?" Piggot asks to confirm.

"Considering how it is likely to become part of the museum, we should probably get used to a few warships in the bay." Armsmaster says

"What do you mean by a few?" Piggot asks

"Looking at their PHO page it's looking like it's going to be 5 ships that are there semi-permanently with 2 that swap out every month or so." Armsmaster says

"That would be beyond expensive if it wasn't for BB-70 and her powers… Wait, where do they store those ships while they aren't docked?" Piggot asks

"..."
"..."

"I guess I have to get the power testers and watchdog in a video call again." Armsmaster says

".... Why are the guns trained on the medhall building?" Piggot asks while squinting at the Cruiser.


"That is a very good question," Armsmaster says looking at the cruiser out in the bay.

=================================


"Kreig? Is that Kampfschiff pointing its guns at us?" Max Anders asks

"Ja, das ist es." James says

Max Anders nods to himself before making an about-face, deciding to ignore the obvious threat.

"I think we should stop trying to interfere with the dock workers, yeah?" Max asks aloud

"Ja, I agree." James

=============================

Sarah Livesy was sitting on her laptop near her apartment window.

Her phone was ringing wildly as Coil attempted to reach her. The thinker however was too busy laughing maniacally to hear the ring.

Aunt Georgia was back in the bay and here to declare war on the gangs. Miss Enterprise seemed to despise lung and any remnants of the empire of japan. Though if there was one thing all of them hated it was Nazis. The fact that the navy was secretly backing the ship girls was the icing on the proverbial cake.

So the bay was about to have a lot of fun for a few weeks.

Lisa picks up the phone.

"Yes boss?" Lisa asks over the phone.

There is silence as the speaker in the phone buzzes. The blonde nodding every now and then listening to the crazy snake slither on as he tried his hardest to plot around the force of nature.

"Well, Boss ahead the sea lies calm awaiting the storm."
 
Chapter 4-2
March 13th, 2011

Dock E terminal 12 used to be an ocean liner dock ferrying people from Europe to the United states and back. Some of the great ocean liners had made port in Brockton from the Queen Mary to the SS America and SS United States.

So the facilities there saw a massive update and upgrade. The fact that it was near the slipways was a big factor in choosing it for the Brockton Bay naval museum. The fact that the drydock was just across the narrow was also another big reason for choosing it.

To be honest the most surprising part of the trip back was stopping to see Big Ten, after all in Georgia's original earth big 10 was scrapped because they couldn't risk taking her up the Mississippi river. While on earth Bet they did get her up the river she is just enjoying retirement in Memphis.

"So, what do you think?" Danny asks breaking Georgia from her thoughts

"It is a surprising amount of work for a union to get done. Especially since you are also technically a government contractor now." Georgia admits

"Well we had help." Danny admits

"Really, like an exterior company or cape help?" Georgia asks

"My help!" a voice says

Georgia suddenly sees a massive spot on the radar at point blank range as she whips around summoning her rigging.
"Who are you?" Georgia asks to see a girl who almost looks like she could be Taylors twin.

"I am Brockton bay." The installation says introducing herself.

"Oh, I made an installation? To be honest I wasn't expecting to be able to do that.' Georgia says as her rigging disperses into motes of light.

"Well you did," Bay says

"I just realized Panama also probably became one as well." Georgia says a little worried.

"I have a vice admiral's phone number." Danny says.
"Yeah if you could give me that and I'll give him a call when it's not sunday," Georgia says

"I'll say that your timing is impressive. Enterprise should be arriving tomorrow." Danny says

"Yay another surprise for the Big E then." Georgia says with a smile.

Brockton Bay laughs a bit before looking at Georgia

"You aren't gonna tell Enterprise her daughter is coming?" Bay asks barely suppressing her giggling

"It's gonna be a great reunion." Georgia says with a nod.

==================================
Bunks were being built in the new museum section of the docks.
Though archerfish seemed adamant about needing to sleep in the bottom of a pool.

Clamagore Archerfish's younger sister agreed with the slightly crazy sub.

"I don't understand why you think bunk beds underwater is a good idea. Slightly crazy submarine." Georgia says

The scene in front of her was a freshly blasted hole in the ground filled with water with two floating mattresses atop it.

"Why am I called slightly crazy again?" Archerfish asks

"You used the mark 14 torpedo as a blunt weapon." Georgia says unfazed

"It wasn't gonna detonate anyways. I was told by Balao to try and get a mark 10 whenever I could. The mark 14 might as well have been used as dummy training rounds." Archerfish says with a hand flourish.

"We all know nicked a mk 48 from pearl." Georgia says

"There is no proof of that." Archerfish replies ginning like a cat.

"She did what now?"

Archerfish and Georgia look over to see vice admiral Abraham Avatar.

"Ah, vice admiral… What brings you here?" Georgia asks

"Enterprise and her escorts pull in tomorrow of course I am going to be here for the debrief." Avatar says.

"It took her a while to get here." Georgia remarks

"They had to take Roberts undertow. Her rudder was knocked out and the hull had some nasty damage done to it." Avatar admits

" So what is this i hear about plundering the naval warehouse?" Avatar asks

"I just acquired the necessary supplies the old fashioned way."

"That… Can you point out the security flaws you saw on base?" Avatar says

"I didn't steal anything." Archerfish insists

"Yes definitely not especially with the-" BOOM Georgia is cut off by an explosion as automatic gunfire is heard in the background.

Then that of course is followed up by several dozens of explosions and low flying aircraft.

"There goes the naval brigade." Georgia mutters

An ear shattering roar is heard in the distance.

"Is that a dragon? Almost sounds like New Jersey's cannons." Archerfish comments shaking with excitement.

"Hey, you should summon Nevada and Prinz Eugen to join!" Archerfish says

=================================
Piggot was drinking something hard. She didn't know the exact name of the Liquor however she needed it Tagg was doing something stupid.
He managed to usurped her control of the local PRT with his own prt forces and planned a joint operation against BB-70 or Georgia.

Her name Georgia Beryl was probably the most open secret she had. Her base at the new historic dock over in the dockyards was a well-established fact.

Luckily her officers were not idiots so they also called out sick. If only the grunts could've seen the threat ratings.
Thought all those poached from the marines were nowhere to be seen.

"Leaked a ward identity." That was what Tagg is planning to bring her in with and force her into the PRT. The fact that she bodied an endbringer and came out no worse for wear meant nothing to the dense idiot. He is worse than Pierre Sprey, worse than Captain James M. Shoemaker, worse than Douglas Haig. He would cause the death of the PRT if he had the power he wants.

The radio barks to life causing Emily to turn the volume up.
=============================================
5 armored vehicles were driving down the road
2 Gage Rangers, 2 lancio Bearcats and 1 Bradley Fighting vehicle.

The air around the bay had been declared a no fly zone. As helicopters dotted the skies and a few phone calls were made to some friends for some SAMs.

Did he burn a few contacts, sure, and all he seemed to do while calling the navy was piss them off. Well, that one secretary laughed for a full minute before hanging up on him.

"Sir we are almost there.. Are you sure you wanna do this?" A man wearing a prt combat uniform and gas mask asks.

"Absolutely, we need to show them that they can't just keep getting away with it." Tagg says

"Getting away with what sir?"

"She leaked a ward's identity." Tagg says

"Why is the youth guard not involved where the protectorate is?"

The transport rocks as they enter the roads by the docks.

"Armsmaster will be meeting us there. Thomas Calvert called in a few friends and the Wild Geese have been hired for this." Tagg says

"Wild Geese? The French group?"

The armored transport continues to shake as it rolls over potholes.

"I feel like the protectorate should've been able to field more people for this sir."

"It's an off the book operation. It was hard to get what we got for this mission." Tagg admits

"…"

Tagg looks over to see the driver door open and the driver not there.

The convoy comes to a stop as Tagg takes over driving the bearcat.
====================================
Fletcher was getting a tour of the new base by Brockton Bay herself.
Georgia finding her was a surprise considering she was stuck to an Oerlikon 20mm cannon which had made its way aboard Kidd in February of 1972.
The destroyer seemed extremely happy to have a pirate for a sister.
The installation girl freezes for a second before running off towards the city.

"Fletcher, come on!" Bay shouts making amazing speed for an installation.

The redheaded destroyer looks on in amazement before chasing after Brockton Bay.

PRT ENE Headquarters




James Tagg the warpig of Arizona a man universally hated by both hero and villain capes alike, if they even call him a man, marched down the halls of the RIG flanked by 4 of his loyal troopers. As the procession maneuvered towards Director Piggot's door with a folder in hand and a mad smile adorning his lips he knocks on the door with a jolly beat.

"Come in." came Piggot's voice from the other side of the door. Opening the door to the all but broken woman's office. Briefly casting an intuitive eye at the 5 men she sighed and spoke once more. "Good morning, Director Tagg, how can the ENE assist you today?"

"I have with me orders from Chief Director Brown ordering a series of joint training exercises between the ENE and the WSE. As per the rules of the joint training you Director Piggot will be 'hospitalized due to injuries sustained during the Elisburg incident' and I will be temporarily the acting director of the ENE. Any questions?" replied Tagg with a smug grin while sliding over the folder in his hand. Emily picked up the documents and read them confirming all that the warpig of Arizona said was true. Lightly putting down the folder she nodded, got up and grabbed her cane and started walking out the door. But before she opened the door to go, she turned around and looked at Tagg in the eyes.

"I will inform you this before I step down for a little bit. Brockton bay will take you and chew you up only to spit you back out, and I am not talking about the capes either." With a dark smile spreading across her scared face, "The local swat team consists of former special forces from all branches, 3 of the ambulance paramedics are former PJs, and the dockworkers are predominantly ex-military with a good portion of that being Seabee's if I remember correctly. All of them are barely holding their ground against the Empire and the ABB regulars, and not the street grunts that are grade A idiots, no these are the guys who show when a gang fight occurs. So, I would encourage you to rethink your usual policies when guiding this branch."

"I will keep that in mind." Responded Tagg with a dismissive wave.

After Familiarizing himself with the office over the next hour he hopped on the intercom, "Will Thomas Calvert report to the director's office." After waiting for 5 minutes a well-dressed man with a 'PRT Consultant' badge walked into the office.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I am in need of some additional forces for an off the books operation to arrest the rogue villain known as Georgia Beryl code name BB-70, and bring her to justice. I am aware that due to the nature of Fortress construction you have had to hire mercenaries to protect new construction sites yes."

"I do believe that I can get some contractors to do this job. It may take a while for them to get here however."

"You have 3 days."

Thomas nodded and walked out of the room before smiling to himself. "This might be the golden opportunity to get rid of that pesky woman." Meanwhile inside the office Tagg had a maniacal smile at the thought of bringing the defiant cape to heel, and daydreaming of having her as his personal attack dog.

The next day

Fortress construction meeting room


"So, this is the only mercenary group willing to do the job? This is 12 people with some FAMAS's."

"Do not worry director, we have a platoon coming in tomorrow with all ze extra gear. Zo tell us what is ze Wild Geese hunting."

Looking at the director Thomas sighed, "We had to give rough estimates on the casualties, they were the only ones to show up." Before pulling out a folder and tossing it across the table. "Gentlemen that is what we are hunting. Georgia Beryl also known as Battlewagon BB-70. Inside is the strategy that we will be using to capture her. Any questions?" As none were made, he nodded, "Good familiarize that packet and prepare for the operation."
 
Chapter 4-2.5
Kenta had been planning to attack the dock workers. Yet he never would've imagined the day that the PRT beat him to the punch. He also never imagined his roof would be blown off by naval artillery but hey there is a first for everything.

The ground shakes as an Apache hits the ground, detonating it's missiles.

"What in the hell." Lung mutters

"Lung-sama…"

"I know, we should go to ground. If those girls are attracting this much heat I do not want to be around for the aftermath." Kenta says

====================

Fletcher had felt like she had been hit by a bus and the bus lost. The Bearcat was in a sorry state. Though Bay had led her into an ambush to ambush the ambusher. Well according to the hyper active installation it was something like that.

Now there was a ruined bearcat leaking oil all over the road and she had a dent. Which was the equivalent to a rather nasty bruise.

"Ow that hurt. Did Warspite run into me?" Fletcher asks rethorically, popping her shoulder back into place.

The totaled bearcat was unable to respond however the Bradley did. The armored fighting vehicles 25mm shells pinged off the human-shaped destroyer. Only a few that had hit center mass were able to break the "skin" of the girl. Which caused a small oil leak.

"A fight? Yay!" Fletcher cheers summoning her rigging.

The fairy crew sending out a distress signal would ensure everyone else would come join the fun.
==================================
Stanley had been a prt trooper for 5 years. He survived the Lung massacre and so many other live fire incidents. So many that some had begun to doubt that he was human, even himself. Stanley also had the history of being a master victim. He is the only surviving victim of the bucket.

Stanely has a hatred for steel masters. Kaiser, The Bucket… Georgia fit that bill according to the PRT. So he hated the battleship cape. When Tagg came to him it was a match made in heaven. Stanley was able to get a few squads to follow the idiodic plan and here they were storming the docks.

That was until a red blur ran in front of the convoy. The lead Bearcat hit the object a near top speed and did a somersault. The 8 Ton armored transport which most people would qualify as an unstoppable force had hit an apparent unmovable object and lost.

The front rambar was shoved inside the engine bay while the truck itself rested on its ceiling engine oil drizzling down from the bonnet which now held the shape of contemporary art.

The bump on the road starts to pick itself up. Its joints move irregularly popping back into place before the creature stares at the rest of the convoy, its eyes glowing an Incandescent yellow.

"Holy hell shoot that thing!" Stanley shouts as Bradley's main gun locks onto the humanoid opening fire.

20 rounds are fired in just under 5 seconds causing the figure to stagger back.

"Lights! Turn on the search light!" Is shouted by the driver.

The high beam cuts on illuminating the girl right as her rigging as it was called starts to form from blue particles of light. The maniac grin on the girls face along with the fact she was bleeding black blood made even some of the veterans literally shit themselves.

"Hit her with the TOW!"

"But sir?"

"NOPE NOPE FIRE IT!"

The Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided missile missed the ship girl by a good two feet blowing a massive crater into the concrete.

"Fuck we missed!" Stanely shouts as there is a bright flash and the Bradley was no more As a high explosive shell had detonated all the stored missiles and ammo causing a roaring explosion.
================================

Georgia is looking into the distance as planes start to drop flares and star shells are shot into the air. One hitting an unlucky helicopter blowing it to kingdom come.

"What in the hell is going on over there? Are the ABB trying to attack us or something? I mean, isn't Lung smarter than that… Was that an apache? How would a gang get their hands on that?" Georgia asks rhetorically.

Did she know they had military vehicles? Yes, Fletcher broadcasted that. However, she needed to play it up for vice admiral Avatar. Some of the trump cards the fleet had should remain hidden. As obvious as they were.

"I need to make a few calls." Avatar says

Georgia continues to look out the window as 20mm and 40mm tracer rounds fill the air hunting the helicopters.
 
Chapter 4-3
March 14th 2011

The bay had its normal mornings then it had mornings like this. One of the biggest ships in the United States Navy with over 60 thousand tons of steel used in its construction was pulling into the decrepit old port. The ship looked pristine with its gray paint, The 3 ships following behind it FFG-58, DDG-78, and DDG-94.
While that was happening and distracting the masses the police were conducting a raid on Winslow. To say the unions had pull with one another would be an understatement. The Teachers Union had also decided to abandon and kick out several members who worked at Winslow the previous night. So it was open season as soon as the superintendent figured out what was going on.

Yet the navy provided the perfect distraction. The fire that was Shadow Stalker's crimes was about to burn uncontrollably.

Georgia who was stalking the police radio waves stared at Danny and just watched the man yawn.

"Too early for you or did you not sleep at all?" Georgia asks

"Second one," Danny admits

"Can I just say you managed to light a fire under the protectorate's ass with this." Georgia murmurs

"Can't wait till Taylor finds out. You need to come over for dinner." Danny says

"If you would have me… It is way too tempting to make an inappropriate joke there." Georgia says

"Woman, I am a dock worker, try me," Danny remarks sarcastically.

"Nah, it's ruined now," Georgia says with a laugh.
"Do you ever sleep?" Danny asks

"I am equipped for night operations, Danny. So in other words sleep is for the weak."

"I dare you to say that 10 years from now," Danny says with a laugh.

"I'll still be the same as now, Danny. Enterprise is 75 after all." Georgia says with a smirk.

"Say you know that girl Fletcher?" Danny asks

"Yeah? I mean she's not as bad as her sister Johnston or William. Though she can still cause some chaos." Georgia admits

"She looks like a younger Emma Barnes so please try to keep her away from Taylor." Danny says

"They are their own people, Mr. Hebert. I don't control them." Georgia says

"… Right sorry, I forgot you're not actually a parahuman." Danny says, yawning.

"Are you going home to take a nap?" Georgia asks

"Probably, I'm a bit worn out." Danny admits

"Go home and get some rest, old man." Georgia says with a slight giggle.

"Sure thing grandma," Danny says as he walks away.

"Hey!" Georgia shouts

"You're invited to dinner tonight. Taylor is making Ann's Lasagna." Danny mentions as he closes his office door behind him.
===========================
Enterprise was with Saltlake at the dry dock locks. The wounded carrier was lumbering its way in and to say the girl sitting on the edge of the flight deck was the spitting image of Enterprise would be a lie. To the carrier herself, it was like looking in a mirror.

"Is that your hat?" Salt lake asks

"It appears to be. I mean the one Georgia got for me was nice but if I could have the real deal back that would be nice." Enterprise says

The white rim naval captain's hat was nice however having her hat back would… well actually her daughter should carry on with it.

"Never mind… let's help them get the mooring lines down," Enterprise says

Saltlake nods before following the carrier.

=======================
March 14th, 2011
7:00 Am

Lewis was sitting down in a courtroom. A judge was here and a jury was being assembled. The police raid happening at the same time was something Danny organized with the Police union to throw off the opposition. After all, how was black well going to be here with her lawyer if the police were raiding her office for evidence?

The school board was looking at corruption while the PRT was likely to get hit with gross negligence of duty. The poor agency thought it could settle out of court however Lewis smelled blood in the water and the local judge and the judge or the circuit court had a bone to pick with the agency themselves.

A specific group should've known that's what happens when you purposely put parahuman-hating judges into power so you can have Canary thrown in the birdcage for an accident. Truly shot themselves in the foot there.

Lewis's phone rings suddenly, along with the judges and the lawyer for the PRT.

"I think we should all pick up." The judge says.
 
The Chaotic Morning
Taylor was on a beach standing in the water. .The sun setting behind her, as the waves broke crashing into her legs. It was that recurring dream where she just stared out, and sometimes something seemed to stare back.

The sunsets, the sky turns dark, and the ocean is glowing blood red. With black splotches spreading it had the consistency of oil. All it would take was a spark to ignite an ocean of flames.
"You don't need to be afraid of the ocean my little owl."
The air starts to ring after those words were said and Taylor flips around managing to catch a glimpse of her mother's face.

March 14th, 2011
6:00 Am

The ringing of a classic alarm clock is going off. Until a small squad of insects crawls into the bells deafening the ringing. However, it was too late. Taylor was awake.

The teen was wide awake after a dream like that. Though she was slow to start her morning routine, taking time to try and figure out what the dream meant. It may have been a Monday however she had not been to school in just under a month. She hadn't gone since the Union Lawyer filed a lawsuit against the windslow.

The clinking of cereal hitting the interior of an empty glass bowl is heard as she prepares her breakfast. A thought has a small bug flick on the TV as the old CRT box lit up the kitchen.

Commercials played for a bit as Taylor poured herself some milk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO3cDd4Yquw

"This just in a reporter on the ground Micheal Bay has gotten confirmation that yes the PRT did commit an illegal operation on American soil last night. Let's cut to Michael for more."

"Thanks, Paola, I am standing here just outside the DWU headquarters where last night a rogue commander of the PRT decided to conduct a raid against the cape everyone knows as BB-70."

The reporter says ignoring the helicopter that is burning in the background.

The sun hadn't even risen yet, as flames flickering lit the road.

Taylor pauses her jaw wide open with a spoon in front of her face as she just stares at the tv as the camera pans across the battlefield.

"What the fuck did they do?"


"That's right folks Emily Piggot was found tied up in her office this morning having been kidnapped while James Tagg did a hostile takeover of the local protectorate. However, that appears to just be the start of this rabbit hole. Several rogue members of the East North East are dead having decided to challenge a battleship to a gunfight. Though from what this reporter has heard Tagg survived and is likely to face trial."

"You know Micheal, this reminds me of the time when the KGB fought Soviet Hero Stalingrad." Paola

"Yes, the crazy tinker that was claiming to be a ship… Actually, considering the circumstances she may not be as crazy as we thought." Micheal says coming to a revelation.

Stalingrad was a tinker cape that specialized in miniaturizing naval weaponry. She also had a slight mover and brute rating able to move on top of water and tank conventional arms fire… At this rate, it is likely that ship girls would get the rumored case number with how common they are becoming. Though it would likely be a year or so before it leaked out. The PRT leak information like a sieve however the gangs that get the info tend not to spread it especially if it would give people hope.

Not like Taylor had to worry too much about it.

Piggot

Emily had managed to fake her own kidnapping. She wasn't getting saddled with the idiot's actions. He was given just enough rope to hang himself and he somehow managed to hang an army field office along with a portion of the PRT ENE.

If it wasn't for the M/S protocol that activated as soon as Piggot was found tied up in her office it was likely that Armsmaster would've gone along with the ill-fated plan.
The hero was truly a glory hound. Did he honestly think he could win against a force of nature?

"Colin you fucking idiot…" Piggot mutters looking at the protectorate leaders sign off on the form to attack Georgia.

Piggot was about to call and berate the tinker when there is a knock on the door.

"Ma'am… ONI are here, they are not happy."

"Let them in. Our men went crazy and attacked a port facility which was about to receive a nuclear aircraft carrier. What makes you think they would be happy?" Piggot asks

"Is there a chance we could blame this on the bucket? I mean Seargent Stanely was a victim of it?"

"That would help deflect the blame, however, I don't see it completely covering our asses," Piggot says

"It could be a long-term master effect like a certain endbringer."

"That would work if it wasn't the navy. We all know ONI employs parahumans as much as they claim they don't. I know for certain that one-twentieth of the think tank is on a navy payroll." Piggot says.

"Ma'am we are getting casualty reports in." An officer announces.

"How many?" Piggot asks

"Too many" The officer replies handing her a printout.

"Dumas died? Someone find his friend, tell her to call his parents." Piggot says

"Reardé ma'am? Are you sure that's a good idea? She's talented but a bit out there." the officer asks

"Send her in, I'll talk with her," Piggot says

With the mess of, the docks she'd completely forgotten about a specific ward.
 
Chapter 4-4
Georgia was driving her car trying to get away from the chaos that was the dock workers union. The amount of destroyers and submarines made it pure havoc. Let's put our beds in the pool so we can sleep underwater. What do you mean that's not a pool? It's clearly a pool! Or these are oil drums? We thought they were depth charges? We can't throw depth charges out into the bay? Are you certain? Fletcher was trying her best to reel in some of them but the redhead was part of the problem too. Luckily BB-34 was there along with Nevada to hold down the fort allowing Georgia to go out on the town. Enterprise was off with her daughter who now had a physical form. Salt Lake had followed along and Georgia had no clue where they went.

Brockton bay, the place that put Detroit and Columbus Ohio to shame. The abandoned houses were likely already stripped for the valuable metals in the piping and wiring; the buildings didn't even look livable. Georgia was slowly driving down the patchwork road till her GPS told her she had arrived. The fact that the GPS on her phone worked knowing there are little to no satellites in space still surprised her.

Georgia pulls in next to the corvette stingray. Meta knowledge means she knows that Danny only has that old truck, so it is likely she is not the only one over for dinner.

===================
CVN-65 was sitting at the edge of the flight deck as her crew finished with the Mooring lines. She noticed a Green haired teen following behind a woman who could only be her mother. It was like looking in a mirror as the two disappeared up the gangplank. Enterprise adjusted her prosthetic left arm, something she did whenever she got nervous which wasn't often.

Enterprise CVN-65 looks out towards the city before she hears a cough behind her.
The nuclear carrier spins around on her heels like she had a gimbaling propeller.

"Mom?" CVN-65 asks her voice squeaking a little.

"You've gotten so big!" Enterprise says as she launches herself hugging her daughter.
The last time CVN-6 saw her daughter was as she was being scrapped.

CVN-65 was smart and just took the hug from momma Enterprise.

"Enty what happened to your left arm?" Enterprise asks

Causing the other carrier to flush red before flinching.

"It started when the exhaust from a jet ignited several rockets." Enty says

Her mother suddenly flinches, hugging her tighter.

"The explosion threw aircraft fuel everywhere and ignited it. Most the planes at my rear were caught in the fire, and since they were on the flight deck they were fully loaded." Enty says sadly remembering her crew running into the flames only for a bomb to explode and wipe them all out before more took over attempting to fight the fire.

"Let's go somewhere." Enterprise suddenly says

"People can't see me you know?" Enty says

"Georgia gave me this." Enterprise says holding out a blank mental cube.

"What is that?" Enty asks

Suddenly the blue glowing cube is shoved into her chest as she suddenly feel like she is no longer physically tied to the ship. Is the ship still her? Yes though, now it's an extension of herself.
======================

Georgia nervously knocks on the door. She was never good at social things she was so good at faking it she could fool herself and others.

"It's open come in!"

Georgia walks into the house leaving her sandals at the door.
"Georgia? Welcome to our home!" Taylor says with a smile suddenly hugging the cape.

'Uh what? When was Taylor ever like this?' Georgia wonders knowing meta knowledge was a cheat but with ship girls who knew what was going on.

"I'm excited to have you here! I made my mother's lasagna so you better enjoy it!" Taylor says with a brilliant smile.

'Okay, no what in the hell is happening?'

"You? like Italian food?" Georgia asks

"Yep! It's good though foods that are Americanized are great too." Taylor says

"Don't mind her when she gets into an Italian mood she'll have us call her Lanciere. Though she hasn't done that in years." Danny says

" Alright then?" Georgia says sitting down at the table.

"Georgia, I wanted to thank you for getting the dry dock working, and agreeing to defend the fleet while it's at port." Avatar says

"Your welcome vice admiral." Georgia says with a smile

"I've got a gift for you." Avatar says sliding a Manila folder over to Georgia.

"Look at it in a secure location and I didn't give that to you." Avatar says

Georgia nods in response.

Taylor suddenly barges in humming anchors aweigh as she puts the Lasagna down on the table.

Georgia suddenly hears a cough behind her.

When no one else reacted Georgia decided to turn around anyway.

"Warspite?" Georgia asks

In truth, the only thing the girl shared with the Azur lane game was the sword she looked like an Artoria Pendragon from Fate.

"Finally you took forever getting here you know?" Warspite says with a smile.

"You knew I was coming? You're a British ship, how could you possibly understand my thoughts and logic?" Georgia asks

"What do you mean, you Americans have such simple logic? If one gun isn't enough, let's add more of them. How many anti aircraft guns do you have on board?" Warspite asks sarcastically.

"Enough to supply the enemy with a sufficient amount of freedom." Georgia replies, puzzling everyone else in the room. Warspite giggles.

"You yanks are as entertaining as always."

"Georgia, who are you talking to?" Danny asks

"Warspite, for some reason she's here in your house." Georgia replies

"Ah, Anne liked to collect warship memorabilia, we have a small segment of Warspites' armor plating in a box here in the house." Danny says
 
Chapter 4-5
Warspite was watching as the not a naval base was under construction by the dock workers.

"They are not as efficient as they used to be… it must be all of that work safety stuff I keep hearing about." Warspite says to herself.
"I like it better this way. An installation is nothing without its workers." A voice says behind her.

Warspite turns around and looks at the girl in shock.

"Taylor, what are you doing out here?" Warspite asks

"I am actually an installation girl Warspite. I am Brockton bay." The girl says

"Warspite!" Is shouted in cheer in the distance.

The old battleship turns to see Nevada and New York approaching her.

"Friends," Warspite says in shock.
=====================
Georgia was sitting down in her office.

"Hey?"

"Yes, though we need to get more creative. Not much has been done to improve cannons so we need to enhance them where we can. Des Moines-class have automatic cannons and we could just scale up the design from Salem." Georgia says

"Hey?"

"You can prepare it, however, I want to see a better design with less wear, maybe a coil gun. We could call it a Mass accelerator cannon. It would have to be mounted in the front of the hull." Georgia says
"Hey?"

"I want to save weight so how about transferring to Gas or Diesel instead of oil?" Georgia asks her crew

"Hey…."

"Right the folder from Avatar, let's see what it is." Georgia says opening it and dumping the contents onto the table.

"Hey Hey!"

Georgia just stares at the paperwork in front of her. Did she know what some of these systems were? Yes, though she didn't expect the navy to have the LAWS system in 2011 that wasn't really used into the 2020s on her earth, then there was the rail gun schematics followed by a plan for a nuclear power plant for herself. Well, it was for a modified Montana class which was never built, however, it could easily fit inside her hull. It actually saved some room considering she wouldn't need the fuel bunkers anymore.


Georgia is suddenly stuck staring at another paper. Well, a letter is sealed with the presidential seal and was at the bottom of all the blueprints she had gotten.

The ship girl carefully opens the letter reading it.

"April 10th I am to report to Washington DC to revive a Presidential unit commendation," Georgia says in shock.

A small battle star also falls out of the envelope.

"Is this because of the endbringer fight?" Georgia mutters.

===========================================

When all was done Georgia was looking at a massive retrofit.

Length 893' 8"

A beam of 137' 10"

82,900 tones of displacement.

A new top speed of 35 knots and a 20-year fuel supply with a Diesel backup.

Her high explosive shells were Composition B a mix of mainly RDX and TNT.

Modern triple base powder for propelling the shells.

There is also a large coil rail down the middle of her bow which acts as an impromptu MAC cannon. The weapon of mass destruction still needs to be fit and programmed properly however her crew is going to start work on its installation during this retrofit.

"Christ. How long am I going to be in the drydock for?" Georgia mutters as her phone starts to ring.

The caller Id is for Sarah.

"Sarah? Is everything okay?" Georgia asks

"I am coming over cousin, Coil found out I am plotting against him and he is after me." Sarah says in panic.

"What about your team?" Georgia asks
"They are coming as well, sorry for the little to no notice," Sarah says sadly.

"Sarah, are you sure we need to burn this place!?" Is shouted in the background.

"Alec the boss turned on us. We need to run, burn it all, anything to help cover our tracks." Sarah shouts back.

"The destroyers will meet you at the gate," Georgia says as her crew dials up the radio.

Georgia looks at the calendar and realizes today was the day the undersiders were supposed to rob the ruby dreams casino.

The timeline matters not. The bay was going to see its war.
 
Chapter 4-6
March 15th 2011
Emily Piggot woke up to incessant knocking on her door.
Little did the portly woman know that the knocking was happening all over the United States.

In New York legend was having his door knocked on. In LA Alexandria was having hers knocked on. In Huston Eidolon was having his. Even in DC Rebecca Costa Brown was having her door pounded on.

Piggot swings the door open.
"Hello?"
An envelope is suddenly thrown in her face.

"You've been served!" He shouts as he starts to run away.

Piggot looks at the envelope before sighing to herself.

"God damnit," Piggot mutters
=================

Georgia was staring at what appeared to be a tear in reality in front of her.

A kid with naturally green hair falls out of it.

"Umm… you okay kid?" Georgia asks

"Ow… I think so. Did I get knocked into next week?" The kid asks

"It's 2011. Feels like a blast from the past." Georgia says half-heartedly since it is the past for her yet to her surprise the kid panics.

"Damnit Mei, this why I said your babies shouldn't involve wormholes." He mutters Georgia just barely able to understand it.

"This doesn't look like Japan."

"It's not? This is America. Why would you be interested in the small island nation anyways? I mean they have been suffering since the Island of Kyushu was sunk."

"What? That's impossible. The island was saved well over 200 years ago when the endbringer thing was killed by the savior." Broccoli says

The teen turns and looks at Georgia before freezing up entirely.

"It's actually 2011… Oh, dear Almight. you're Georgia! Cousin of the black dragon, bringer of the fleet, savior of Japan, hero of the human race…" the boy mutters both horrified and in wonder.

"Okay… So time travel fuck my life didn't need to know all of that." Georgia mutters

"You speak Japanese!? Wait no I shouldn't have let you know those things."

Georgia squints at the boy before realizing that live-action anime is horrible.

"Midori… I know a great many things already. I'm already planning to kill the great lizard. And good old Smurf wants to stay away from me at the moment." Georgia says smiling

Midoriya flinches at the bad pronunciation of his name.

"You know me?" Midoriya asks

"All for one and one for all." Georgia says smiling

"How? What? … It's a shame you die in the collapse. You would've continued to be a great hero." Midoryia mutters the final part.

Suddenly the Broccoli disappears out of thin air probably being ripped back to the future.

"Collapse? Oh lord the great collapse won't be our end. When the world falls into the flames we will rise again." Georgia sings

The cape walks away continuing to sing unknowing of the cellphone now recording her.

Unknown to Georgia a woman wearing a fedora on a parallel earth was having a seizure.

"Okay, way too much information. My hero Academia happens in the future? Maybe I'll see it someday. This must be part of the chaos era for them." Georgia says trying not to giggle.
==================================

Sarah had finally arrived at the docks. To say she was surprised by the girl standing in front of her would be an understatement.

"You're related to Cassin right?" Sarah asks

"How could you tell?" Fletcher asks

"Your five inch guns look similar. You've also got 5 of them. If you squint most countries would probably mistake you for a cruiser." Sarah says

Fletcher giggles at that statement.

"You know the ship girls." Brian mutters

"Of course I do, Georgia called me her cousin. Which I kinda am in a way." Sarah says

"You don't look like an Iowa or a Montana class though." Fletcher says

"My dad was part of her crew." Sarah says

"That would do it…" Fletcher mutters

"We tend to look after our crew. I wish I could've seen Enterprise and Dick Best when those cameras were turned off. Probably a lot of mothering he was one of her best pilots after all." Fletcher says smiling

"Where do I keep dogs?" Rachel asks

"Georgia talked to Danny about you. Would you be up for training dogs?" Fletcher asks

"I like dogs." Rachel says

Fletcher just nods at the statement.

"Well since Georgia is out I believe she left the care of the base to Nevada and New York," Fletcher says

"She's out?" Sarah asks

"She went for a stroll and said she would be back in April," Fletcher admits.

"That's more than 2 weeks," Sarah says in shock
================
Meanwhile at an undisclosed location underground.

"Hey?"

I'm about to go under for this refit/ rebuild and you're still modifying the plans. Y'all do know that's the reason the Montana's were never built." Georgia says

"Hey..."

"Fine, I want the triple barrel 18 inch guns," Georgia says

"Hey?"

"Ready as I'll ever be," Georgia says

She was trying to sound brave but in truth leaving the docks unsupervised for two weeks scared her.

"Is the area secured?" Georgia asks

"Hey?"

"That's not a yes though it'll work, I trust Taylor," Georgia mutters as she lays down in a steel tub and the world goes dark.
 
Chapter 4-7
March 17th 2011
5:30 AM
"Carol… why are we taking a drive at this ungodly hour?" Amelia asks

"My lawyer senses are tingling so my dear daughter I'm going to visit an old friend… make sure you take a good look at his daughter okay?" Carol says

Amy freezes, that was the first time Carol had ever called Amy her daughter to her face. Something fishy was going on. Carol seemed nervous… She rarely ever tapped on her steering wheel except for the week leading up to a big case.

"Carol. What have you done?" Amelia asks

"Nothing that can be proven in a court of law sweetie," Carol says absently as she is looking out at a house.

Amy, having had enough of it, gets out of the passenger seat and starts walking back up the road.

"AMY DALLON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"I don't feel like being an accomplice to what is likely a premeditated crime." Amy states bluntly as she starts to run.

The healer was legging it. Having hopped a fence she was trying to clear obstacles and break her line of sight. Once that was done she could hide and be in the clear. This isn't the first time she has run from her adoptive mother.

There is a tearing sound as Amy had caught her foot on something. With a crash, a section of the backyard she is in collapses and the healer is taken by the earth.

If one were to look at the hole the healer had created they would see it was being patched up post haste by a significant number of ants.
========================================
March 17th
5:45 am
In the dining room of the Herbert family.
Taylor was eating eggs while her dad sat across from her eating cereal.

Taylor was feeling happier these days. It probably had to do with sneaking out to the docks and befriending the ship girls. Not that her dad needs to know about it. The fact Fletcher looks like a younger Emma Barnes is kind of disturbing, however, she doesn't feel like the current Emma Barns more like the old one who was practically her sister.

Taylor's head snaps up looking at her dad.

"Is everything alright little owl?" Danny asks

"Not really, I have to go check something." Taylor says in mild panic.

"If it's that bad then go. I do want to hear about it later." Danny says

Taylor nods her head before she takes off out of the door.

Danny sighs to himself, he's noticed his daughter is getting shorter.

"Maybe it's just the bug powers changing her… Hopefully." Danny mutters looking over at a locked box Annette had stored away.


===========
"Mathers… Have you seen the video"
"What video, Joseph I understand that your Edens gate group is one of the biggest of the fallen however if you show me another video of John's I am going to be annoyed." Mathers says

"Here just watch it." John says putting his dragon phone infont

Georgia singing we will rise again.
"She sounds just like the recording on Earth Arche's tubeyou account," Mathers says

"She does, Though she is also the cape who fought the angel on even grounds," Joseph says with his smile.

"She's the battleship cape," Mathers says

"Body type and hair match," Joseph says

"Be careful who we spread this to. That singer is considered a messenger by our lord. If they were to find out she fought an angel on even grounds." Mathers says

"It would be interesting though. Shouldn't we test her faith?" Joseph says

"I don't think she is going to go to Montana." Mathers says

"Send the Crowleys then. They love the violence." Joseph says
"Why not your children?" Mathers asks

"Jacob would be the only one who stood a chance and it wouldn't go to well." Joseph says

"Your visions tell you that?" Mathers asks in shock causing the cult leader to nod.

==================
Amy grabs her head and it is pounding in pain. Then again she hit it on her landing so that was bound to happen.

"Where the hell am I?" Amy mutters as she gets up unsteadily

Amy squints as the low light of the cave is barely enough to see.

"Don't head towards the light Amelia. I wouldn't need to if you let me have my utility belt." Amy mutters as she starts to follow the light farther down the dirt and stone cave.

Unseen by Amy an army of insects was observing her.

Amy eventually finds the source of light.

It was Georgia in a tub full of black blood. Her body was dismembered as her eyes sat open looking at the door frame. She was dead.
Amy opened her mouth to scream as a gloved hand covers her mouth.

"Don't scream, she's fine." A female voice says

"She is and I quote undergoing a retrofit and left me here to guard her." The voice says

Amy panics because a bio tinker had captured one of the strongest capes in the city and was experimenting with her.

Amy struggled free and ran her hand through the figure holding her captive insects died in droves as Amy attempted to kill her attacker.
==================
Amy had killed thousands of insects before she realized it was insects that were dying her vision was no longer blurry as the adrenaline wore off.

"You calmed down yet?" the voice asks again

"What is going on here?" Amy asks

"Georgia decided to do a retrofit. Her body is slowly modifying itself and she will come out stronger. According to her." Taylor says, stepping out of the shadows.

"That is idiotic," Amy says

"She knew she would be vulnerable and decided to do her upgrade in my den rather than at the docks." Taylor says

"True, everyone is watching the docks… Who are you?" Amy asked

"I haven't decided on a cape name yet, however, I am allied with the ships." Taylor admits
 
Chapter 4-8
March 23rd.
At the Hebert household.
Taylor and Amy had become quick friends after their chance encounter in taylors bug nest. The basement/cave was an idea Georgia had given her after she had come over for dinner that one night.

"Why are you over here again Amy?" Taylor asks

"I got into another fight with Carol," Amy says

"What was it about this time?" Taylor asks

"Apparently I am adopted Tay…" Amy says with clear sarcasm

"Didn't you already know that?" Taylor says with a smile

Amy snorts in response.

Breaking news is suddenly playing on the tv.

"It was a normal Wednesday morning. Students at Cornell University were just getting ready to start the classes when at 7am an explosion shook the campus grounds. It was followed by alarms and several dozen more explosions as the sprinkler systems were finally set off." The reporter says as smoke is rising from the building in the background.

The camera pans around showing several armored police vehicles along with the local protectorate group. Staged behind them are the paramedics.

Amy and Taylor watch the news as a streak of light flies into the building.

"There goes the Hero Legend, into the danger zone." The reporter says with awe.

Amy turns the tv off.
"That's nothing compared to the bay." Amy says with a scoff.

When you have a dragon that gets upset and levels 1/8th the city in his biennial fight with the blender dog. Though that might not happen this year since according to Tay, Georgia almost blew off his leg with a 40mm armor-piercing round.

"True, I wonder if someone went Carrie again," Taylor says

"Who's Carrie again? I keep hearing about it but, I don't actually know of the incident." Amy says

"I wish we didn't have to use that Steven King book as an adjective," Danny says from the kitchen.

"Well, when one of the best horror story writers writes something that mirrors a parahuman triggering and getting revenge on her bullies. It makes sense that it would be seen as the "First incedent." " Taylor says

"Wait, it's a book. Not an actual incident?" Amy asks in shock.

"You… How do you, of all people, not know that?" Taylor asks

Unknown to them Cauldron was plotting in the background with a move that would have long-lasting consequences. Assuming their plan wasn't interrupted by something stupid.
========================================
Thomas Calvert is scared shitless.

Coil thought he had seen it all until Tattletale had run and taken the undersiders with her.

The best-laid plans of mice and men often go ary.

After all what was a plan in the face of overwhelming firepower? His mercenaries literally could not get past the gate before they were shelled into oblivion. The one that survived the first salvo said he had been hit by a freedom sedan.

Though, this was the farthest one of his timelines have made it without the city being nuked. So this gave him the rare opportunity to learn about his enemies.
—----------------------
Several simulated hours later.

Coil has learned nothing besides the fact that his mercenaries' body armor was not immune to anti material rounds.

He got more from Tagg's charge than he did from several dozens of timelines.

==========================
Amy had left earlier in the day. Taylor was in the den watching the black widows work on her outfit.

"It should stop knives and small caliber arms hopefully." Taylor murmurs to herself.

"Could it stop me though?" Taylor asks, looking at the hole she punched into the concrete pillar which had height marks on it.

She punched the pillar in a rage after she realized her powers were causing her to shrink.
========
Hannah was out for a walk. She couldn't stand being on the rig at the moment. Someone had hacked the PRT and leaked most of the confidential files relating to cover-ups and other incidents. They had claimed that it was the Herbert case that made them do some digging since it was leaked a ward was responsible for all of the sufferings the girl went through.

Assault was MadCap… That was the second biggest problem with the local ENE, the fact that Armsmaster killed a girl was probably the lightest crime leaked. The biggest one was the Identity of Coil or Thomas Calvert who was running a black ops group trying to take over the criminal element of the bay committing all sorts of crimes in the name of taking over the city.

"You look like you've had a day." A woman says

"That is not even the start of it… You look exhausted as well." Hannah says

"Kids." She says with a smile.

"Your's?" Hannah asks

"It feels like it. Though they aren't. They tried to start a fire to see how hot it felt recently."

"I'm Hannah,"

"You can call me York." Newyork says
 
Chapter 4-9
March 31st
Good morning America was playing.

"I am just saying with the recent news and leaks within the prt are heroes actually heroes? Do they deserve that name?"

"Honestly we are seeing that parahumans are just that, human."
"Yes however when a human gets upset and punches a support pole he hurts his hand, when a parahuman does it the whole building gets brought down."

"Yes, however we all know some of those with powers never wanted them in the first place. Look at Weld, imagine never being able to touch anything metal."

"Then we should help them instead of parading them around like circus clowns."

"What about Termite? We all saw the report there." A man says shuttering.

"Termite has been dead since the 90s. It is not like he can face justice for that accident."

"We can stop selling his toys to children. I dont want my son having an action figure of that sick criminal."

Lisa had done it, Though apparently she's Sarah now. She broke the internet, distrust of hero's is higher than it has ever been and the world was on fire. Yet she has the gall to claim she didn't start it.

The most damning thing of all though was footage of Armsmaster killing a woman in cold blood.

===========
Flash back 2005
"Armsmaster, how many times must I tell you to stop chasing me!" Hookwolf shouts, grabbing a civilian from the crowd of people.

Armsmaster finally stops fully looking at the monster holding a woman hostage.

"You are going to let me go or she dies." Hook wolf says

"We all know you won't do that. They'll Birdcage you." Armsmaster says

"Yeah, well I would like to see them try. You wont ever catch me anyways. You'll aways be a discount bargain bin of a hero." Hookwolf says

"Just come quietly blender dog." Armsmaster says

"I don't think I will." Hookwolf says tightening the grip on his hostage.

Armsmaster takes a step forward holding his halberd in a threatening way.

Hookwolf takes a step back a blade cutting hostages arm.

"I'll Kill! her back off you tin can!" Hookwolf shouts

"I'll be painful but it wont kill her." Armsmaster mutters

"What did you say!" Hookwolf shouts

"You can't kill her when she is already dead!" Armsmaster shouts

With a lunge the halberd plunges through the right side of the woman's chest before stabbing into hookwolf.

The villainous cape jolts back in shock letting go of the hostage. Shocked that the hero would stab the woman.

"Something is wrong, There is too much blood." Armsmaster says his voice quavering.

The woman who hookwolf was holding hostage was dead on the ground and armsmaster froze up allowing the villain to escape.

Suddenly armsmaster looks up at the camera.

"Turn that phone off!" He shouts in a commanding voice. As sirens drown out the noise in the background.

============================
"Dextrocardia" The director says looking at some paperwork.

Armsmaster looks down at the ground ashamed

"Less than a 1% chance and you hit it. You shouldn't be stabbing people in the first place… If it wasn't for the chief director You would be getting replaced like I am." The old man says

"I killed her." Armsmaster says horrified.

"I dont know why I did that. It just felt like the most efficient way to save her and Capture hookwolf.


"You would've stabbed through her lung even if you didn't hit her heart. She would have drowned in her own blood." The director says disappointed.
 
Chapter 4-10
David hears Armsmaster shout You can't kill her if she is already dead.

Turning around he watches the hero impale his deceased daughter.

David drops a stack of plates on the floor "Those bastards lied to me."
===========================
April 1st.

Abandoned office in the ship museum portion of the docks.
"Sarah, did you have to go and do that?" Taylor asks

"Obviously, it's all according to plan. Georgia was very clear about what she wanted me to do." Sarah says

"I don't think she said to do that," Amy states flatly.

"No she very clearly said to give the PRT Hell," Sarah says

"She said that to the Union Lawyers," Taylor states flatly remembering that meeting.

"Oh… I just wanted to do my part." Sarah says bashfully.

"Your part? How is letting the world know of the corruption of the PRT your part?" Amy asks

"I think we should turn on the news," Taylor says

"It's still talking about the death of Dead Meat and the destruction of Pyne Poynt park," Sarah says

"... True a serial Killer cape who could control dead bodies deserved the response he got."

"New Jersey Cratered a public park," Amy says flatly.

"A destroyed park or a zombie apocalypse?" Taylor asks

"She turned the guy into mist!" Amy shouts

"I guess he was mystified," Taylor says with a smug smile only to be ignored.

"She is a 45,000-ton battleship known as the Black Dragon, She has sunk an Island in the past and her sister leveled a mountain. Hitting a small park in New Jersey with a single 16inch shell is nothing, Amy. She's military, a hero, not a superhero, she is not to be held to the same standard as other Capes." Sarah says

The TV suddenly turns on.

"The Hostage situation is approaching the second hour and little to nothing has been done negotiation-wise. The suspect's name is David Proccolino and he is the father of that video that leaked out of the prt earlier this week."

Amy and Taylor turned to look at Sarah who looks a little upset with herself.

"Well, this just proves the incompetence of the PRT." Tayor says

"I wonder how Piggot the Biggot is doing?" Sarah says

=========================
The answer was not well. Piggot was having a horrid day.

"Ma'am I think i should go there and handle this personally," Armsmaster says

"He is demanding you, you killed his daughter and he is now holding the city office hostage. If you go he is going to try and kill you." Piggot says

"Right, well I started it so I think I should end it," Armsmaster says

"No, I already sent velocity to take care of it," Piggot says

"This just in Hero Velocity has just been dragged out of the front door by a hostage he appears to be bleeding from a gut shot."

Piggot flinches and turns to look at the screen.

"Well shit," Piggot says

"Yeah, I'm going," Armsmaster says

"If you go I am going to cut your tinkering budget!" Piggot shouts turning around to see the cape is already gone.

"Shit," Piggot mutters

Piggot presses the intercom button.

"To all personnel on the rig do not let Armsmaster leave!" Piggot shouts in a panic.
===============================================
Meanwhile at the PRT offices.

"I just want armsmaster to face justice. Why is that so hard to ask for?" David asks

The doors to the office suddenly burst open as a blue blur arrives.

"Sir just give yourself up and settle this the legal way." Velocity says

"NO!" David shouts

"David?" Velocity asks confused

There is a loud bang as Velocity takes a round to the gut.

"Why did he not dodge that bullet?" David asks aloud while all of the PRT office workers scream.

"YOU!" David shouts pointing his gun at one of the secretaries.

"Y-yes sir?"

"Drag his body outside he needs medical attention and I don't need his death on my head… Also, tell the police out there to order pizza for the hostages." David says

"Y-YEs" THe woman says horrified.

David watches as she grabs the limp body of the hero and drags him out of the front door.
====================
Colin had escaped the rig and was taking his bike to the offices.

Piggot really didn't want him anywhere near this however it was something he needed to see through to the end. What could possibly happen to him anyways, the metal on his power armor was bulletproof anyways.

The bike was allowed clear through the police check point and Armsmaster parked it at his own parking spot before getting off and walking through the front door.

There are six successive shots before shouting is heard from inside the office.

The shooter was likely out of bullets having shot all 8 of them.

"GO GO GO!" The swat captain shouts notifying the swat team to clear the building.

So, my contact confirmed that a WW2 heavy cruiser is sitting out in the bay. It is a Cleveland Class cruiser the USS Atlanta, it can be inferred from what the ship museum was hinting at and what we know of BB-70's powers It is very likely that that is the real cruiser.
Apparently the guns are trained on the medhall building aswell.

So, I don't exactly know how to start this... You all heard the explosions last night. Unlike most of us thought that wasn't the rage dragon fighting the Protectorate like normal... That was the protectorate thinking that 5 armored vehicles and a handful of helicopters were enough to take on an entire battle fleet. The event which has now been dubbed Tagg's charge still leaves a lot to the unknown. though we now know that the French Mercenary group known as the Wild Geese took part in the suicidal raid. The cause for the raid has yet to be determined the amount of dead is still unknown.

USS Arizona, the studious battleship
To be honest, Arizona had kind of missed Georgia's entire visit, having been busy studying for her exams. The fact the professors and their TA's couldn't see her was immaterial.

Arizona had been slumbering for the first 5 years after the attack on Pearl. But afterwards, she had awoken. Well, her spirit at least, her hull was still were it had been all this time. At one point, out of curiosity, she had followed students into a university aula. Applied Anthropology was kind of interesting, but not knowing the same background as the students made it difficult to follow.

Arizona had decided to search out what she had missed. She spent 3 years invisibly in a highschool. Searching out the lessons she thought she could use. While the tests weren't something the teachers could correct, due to not seeing her own copies, or herself. Arizona did always check her own results by sitting in the same locale as the professors as they corrected the tests of the students and seeing what was correct and what wasn't. After 3 years, Arizona was satisfied she had more than earned a Highschool degree and returned to the Universities.

In the following 5 decades, Arizona earned (or in her opinion she would have had the teachers known she was there and had been able to review her work themselves), several degrees. Philosophy, English literature, several history courses. Engineering. She kept a highly eclectic variety. Arizona even managed to learn Hawaiian and Pidgin. She wished she could speak to actual Hawaiians and so actually use the languages. Above all, she kept on returning to the Applied Anthropology courses.

Then one evening, after classes had ended, she was taking a leisury stroll back to her hull when she spotted Missouri, a fully restored Missouri …

Wanting to know how the hell that had happened, Arizona headed towards the Iowa-class. "Aloha Missouri, do I have permission to come aboard?" Arizona asked standing at the gangway.

After about a minute Missouri's spirit appeared at her gangway. Never actually having met Arizona while in service, Missouri didn't actually recognize Arizona. Then again, she was dressed in a flower print summer dress, not exactly something you'd expect a Battleship to wear (but it would have made her fit in easily, if the humans could actually see her). "My hull's over there", Arizona pointed, "mostly below the water, near the monument. I'm USS Arizona, BB-39."



The next morning Georgia opened PHO



♦ Private message from USS Missouri:

Battlewagon BB-70 *New Message*: I was just visited by Arizona, BB-39. She wanted me to ask whether you could to for her what you did for us. Without disturbing her crewmember's graves, that is? Is there a possibility?

Turns out she's been awake since about 1947. And has been spending most of her time at the Hawai'ian Universities.

Anyway, she wanted to hand in her PHD Dissertation about Applied Anthropology I think. To be honest, I didn't really understand much of the work. She also wants to hand in all her other work for the various Bachelor and Master degrees she says she earned
 
USS Arizona, it's not fair
USS Arizona, it's not fair
Georgia apparently was quite capable of giving her a physical body while still preserving the last resting place of so many of her crew. It was a bit of a strange feeling at first, but thanks to Georgia doing her thing with the superstructure piece stored in the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, Arizona could now actually be seen. Her old hull was still part of her, she could sort of sense it. But she could now walk around and be seen.

At first, the UH had wanted to give Arizona an Honorary Doctorate. But Arizona had refused, saying she wanted a real one. And planned to do all the work. Leading to her now being an official student. At first, the UH had told students not to ask about December 7th, 1941. But after more than half a century, Arizona was quite capable of talking about it, actually, she wanted to even. On her own suggestion, she spent 2 hours one Friday evening on a Q&A with History students from UH. She also arranged an online Q&A with Naval Academy Students through the US Navy base at Pearl.

Anyway, after a day at the University, Arizona went back to the Naval Base. She had actually told the US Navy that a berth or anchorage was more than sufficient for her. But they had for some reason insisted upon her using a bed in the naval base itself. Which was kind of weird. Missouri was allowed to sleep at a proper berth, but she wasn't. It really wasn't fair. Actually, she should post that on PHO, they did start a new subgroup to discuss ships after all.

♦Topic: Unfair treatment of hull displaced ships
In: Boards ► Ships

USS Arizona
(Original Poster) (Verified Battleship)
Posted on May 11, 2011:

It's really not fair how we hull displaced ships are not given the same rights as our not hull-displaced brethren.

USS Missouri is allowed to sleep with her lower hull submerged in water. USS Enterprise, I mean CV-65, too. But CV-6 and myself are forced to sleep IN A BED. It's really not fair. Why are they allowed to sleep at a berth, or at least an anchorage? But we are forced to spend our nights in a dry and uncomfortable bed.

How do you humans do it, sleeping without the comfortable embrace of the water around your lower hull?

USS Arizona & Crystal
"I think it's probably best to go to your place", Arizona told Crystal. While yes, Arizona handing in all the work she had done while intangible (apart from her old hull beneath the monument that is) had ensured Arizona now had most of the work finished for her Master Degree in Applied Anthropology and Development. The University did want her to actually follow some of the classes and do the exams with her fellow students. Currently she had to do a joint work with a fellow student. A student that ended up being Crystal Pelham.

"Yeah, I don't think we're even allowed to start doing our work near the monument", Crystal agreed, "it's not too far. Let's walk."

"Oh, I'm not staying there", Arizona corrected as she walked next to Crystal, "well, not entirely that is, obviously my hull is there. But the Navy told me I couldn't simply moor myself near my old hull at night. Or on any empty berth. They gave me a bunk in the navy base. Well, I suppose having access to a desk is quite handy. And that waterbed they allowed me to bring in is at least sufficiently alike the soft movement of the waves on your hull, allowing a proper night's sleep."

Crystal sniggered, finally remembering Arizona's post about not being allowed to sleep at a berth from a few weeks back. Which several of the ships back home in Brockton Bay had replied to. "Oh yes, that PHO-post", Crystal realized, "I forgot about that." Then again, Crystal did try to treat Arizona the same as the other students. If not for the fact she didn't even try to hide anything and simply went by Arizona, Crystal would sometimes even almost forget the other student was in fact a battleship (which even with parahumans around, like herself, was kind of strange).

"Oh, you have a PHO account? Stupid question, of course you have", Arizona realized, "otherwise you wouldn't have found that post."

"I do, it's Crystal P, I suppose Laserdream too, but I'm not doing anything with that account at the moment", Crystal explained.

"Wait, two accounts, is that even allowed?" Arizona thought there was a one account per person rule.

"Laserdream is my verified Cape account, the other one is my personal one", Crystal clarified.

"You're a Cape? And you're telling me like that", Arizona thought Capes tried to keep their identities secret.

"I'm a public Cape", Crystal answered, "which is actually one of the reasons I went all the way to Honolulu for University. At least here, practically no one has ever even heard of Laserdream. Of course the PRT knows I'm here, at least I think they do. But it's actually kind of nice not to be doing any Cape things. Or nearly none. I did inform the Coast Guard that if they can use my aid for Search and Rescue, I am available. They took me up on the offer a few times."

"Does that mean you're the flying girl who found the fisherman who went overboard from the trawler Judith?" Arizona remembered.

"How do you even know that?" Crystal wondered, "the Coast Guard and the fishing crew agreed not to tell anyone a parahuman helped."

"Judith told her fellow trawlers, who passed the word to the tugboats. And tugs are even worse gossips than the trawlers, and that's saying something. Missouri somehow always finds out just about every piece of gossip spread inside the ports, both military and civilian. So she heard about it. And she told me when we were having lunch last Saturday."

"Wait, you mean the trawlers and tugboats are also alive?" Crystal hadn't known that.

"For trawlers, only the bigger ones", Arizona replied, "With some exceptions. Sometimes a smaller one does awaken a spirit, but it's rare. Some, like this Judith, who I presume is named after a loved one, have more of a chance. Probably due to the emotional connection. As far as I know, all tugs do have a spirit. I mean, I never met one without one. Yachts? In all my years, I've only seen a handful with a spirit. The cruise ships and other passenger ships all have spirits though. But they are kind of bored most of the time. Not enough people willing to go on a cruise these days, keeps them stuck in port."

Crystal suddenly stopped walking.

"Is something wrong?" Arizona asked.

"Not at all", Crystal replied, "I simply realised something. We still need a subject for our work. So what if we make it about ship spirit culture? We can interview ships. Or you can at least, but I can help think of the questions we need to ask. And of course help form conclusions out of their responses."

"Well, I can guarantee no one else will have that subject", Arizona agreed, "let's do it."
 
Chapter 5-1
April 6th

Georgia was awake, and already on her way to DC. It never hurt to go a little bit early, going to the Smithsonian's would be a good way to spend her time.

The drive was long and boring luckily it was 2011 so Toll roads weren't as common though her car was stolen from the butcher so its not like she truly cared she blew through them all cackling like a madwoman. She still hasn't exactly gotten over the high from her retrofit.

Her upgraded radar suite could severally damage the sensitive electronics of the modern day that wasn't counting the LAWS system which felt like something out of star trek.

The first officer appeared in her rearview as she was playing crazy cab on highway 495 crossing into Massachusetts. Diverting down to Boston and a successful fake out had worked though now she was heading to Rhode Island.

"Might as well stop at New Port Creamery."

"Hey!"

The high easy was a literal blur but with all the lookouts and her sensors, she could see it pretty clearly.

"Oh? They actually called me out over the radio? Don't they have anything better to do?" Georgia asks

"Hey?"

"I mean yeah I am wearing a sketchy outfit and driving like I stole the car. But that's because I don't want to be recognized and I did steal the car." Georgia says

"..."

"... I see what you mean," Georgia says flatly.

25 mins later Georgia arrived in Newport.

The car now that it finally got a chance to slow down did not sound well. Limping into the parking lot and stalling out before it could be turned off.

"Well, I was hoping that Korean engineering would be as good in this world as the last. So far its roughly the same. My Veloster had its engine blow 3 times." Georgia says getting out of the car and walking into the restaurant.

The radio chatter was full of people trying to find the Hyundai Genesis. Georgia just sat down at one of the booths. The tv was on the news in the background Georgia however tuned it out however since News was the News. Don't trust anyone who can't give proper sources.

"That's right folks after hours of trying the hostage situation has finally ended the hostage take had run out of ammunition shortly after Armsmaster had entered the building to confront him directly… He was truly heroic in his last moments." The newscaster says somberly.

"Yeah, sure the tin man is dead. It would take more than bullets to kill him. He even bragged about being able to withstand 20mm fire last time I saw him." Georgia says to herself.

The camera swaps back to the two people in the newsroom who also look depressed.

"The PIllar or the East North East protectorate has passed away today giving his life in the line of duty.
His death was near instant he took 3 bullets to the head since he didn't wear a full face mask leaving him vulnerable."

Georgia stares at the screen dumbfounded by the man's idiocy.

"Project Free dragon just got pushed up significantly," Georgia mutters

"Hello ma'am what could I get you?"

"Ah, can I get the big beef the creamy way and I plan to do the awful awful challenge," Georgia says not evening getting a menu.

"... Are you a regular? I don't recognize you?"

"My dad was a regular in the 80s. We had a lot of families up here and probably still do, to be honest." Georgia says
=========================
Hannah was at home rather depressed about her promotion.

"Colin you fucking idiot." Hannah mutters turning and turning and turning on her couch trying to find that one comfortable spot. That was when A knock on her door disturbed her efforts.

"Who could that be?" Hannah mutters getting up

The door opens to show that white-haired friend of hers.

"How are you doing Hannah?" New York asks

"Not, too well."
"Well, let's go inside and talk about it then?" New York suggests.

"S-sure," Hannah says not really wanting to talk about it.

"So, Colin." New York says sitting down.

In a split second, the battleship has a sawed-off in her face.

"Are you really wanting to compare guns with me? That has got to be the world's cruelest handicap." New York says trying not to laugh.

"Who are you?" Hannah asks

"Really, you wear an American flag and you still don't have a guess with all of the insanity going on over at the docks." New York asks

"Oh my god, I have my gun in the face of a being who can just laugh and say bird shot tickles," Hannah says

"Dear, 20mm tickles." New York says

"York… Oh my god, you are New York!" Hannah says successfully managing to not shit herself.

New York grins and takes the gun out of her friend's hand.

"I am and I have to look over all of those destroyers. They are a lot like those wards of yours just a slight bit more destructive." New York says

"... I got a promotion," Hannah says

"I am not going to tell you congratulations it would be like me suddenly being promoted to flagship mid-battle I really dont want to see that." New York says

Hannah hugs her friend, crying.

Standing out in MT hope bay
Georgia was on her 12th Awful Awful watching the police approach the New Port creamery.

"I guess, I am going to need to take the coastal way and miss the rest of the drive," Georgia says storing away the empty cup.
 
Chapter 5-2
April 7th
Norfolk that is where Georgia was, a visit to her temperamental cousin shouldn't lead to any issues right?

"Hello, cousin I am back!" Georgia shouts

A yellow blur was seen by Georgia's spotters before it hit her citadel and bounced off with a quack.

"You did not just quack bang me!" Georgia shouts.


"Of course, I did cuz!" Wisconsin shouts looking over the railing.

"Can I come aboard!?" Georgia shouts.

"Give me a second!" Wisconsin shouts
=============================

Georgia looks around before her Radar starts pinging danger close behind her.

"Wha?" Georgia asks, spinning on her heel and seeing her cousin standing behind her wearing a Cheese hat.

"Hiya cuz," Wisconsin says

"Hey Wisky, Uhh… You look excited?" Georgia says

"Of course I am excited. New Jersey got to fire her guns yesterday. Which means I'll get a chance to shoot mine off sooner or later." Wisconsin says with an absolutely massive grin on her face.

"Didn't they take out the shells and powder?" Georgia asks

"Cuz you expect us not to have squirreled some away before the navy managed to remove them all?" Wisconsin asks.

"Touche," Georgia says

"Ah, I hear the language of the floating hotels," Wisconsin says

"You mean the language of the tumblehome battleships," Georgia says.

"What brings you to Norfolk, cousin?" Wisconsin asks

"I got my first battle star," Georgia says with a smile.

"We are at war? Where was the fight?" Wisconsin asks

"I fought an endbringer in Australia. I think the beast has learned to fear American firepower." Georgia says with a grin.

"HA! I just can't wait till I can fight one! They will learn of my temper!" Wisconsin announces holding a bottle of booze.

"Where did you get that from?" Georgia asks

"..."

"..."

"You know that's a good question," Wisconsin says

"So… did ya get your Katie shells yet?" Wisconsin asks

"I have the designs and could get them at any time. I don't feel like caring nuclear bombs all the time." Georgia says

"Like your retrofit didn't give you a nuclear reactor," Wisconsin says

Georgia makes a shushing motion with his finger.

"You still got the fuel bunkers though," Wisconsin says with a smile.

"I can not believe you just said that," Georgia says in mock shock.

"So you got a battle star and you are here in Virginia. Presidential unit citation?" Wisconsin asks with a rather large grin.

Georgia smiles in response.

"We need to go out drinking," Wisconsin says

"Maybe after the ceremony," Georgia says

"So, how do you plan on getting a cab to DC?" Wisconsin asks

"Uber?" Georgia asks

"Like that one villain in Brockton bay?" Wisconsin asks

"..."

"..."

"Lyft?" Georgia asks

"L33T?" Wisconsin asks

"So, I guess I'm stealing a car again?" Georgia says

"... You are certain you're not part submarine right?" Wisconsin asks

"That would likely mean you are as well cousin," Georgia says

"SSGN-729," Wisconsin responds flatly

"Didn't she torp leviathan?" Georgia asks

Wisconsin pauses and has to think for a few minutes.

"I think she did. All we know is the area of the ocean she was in when she disappeared had a massive nuclear explosion under the water. In truth she wasn't supposed to be carrying those types of torpedoes but the government black budget will be the government black budget." Wisconsin says with a shrug.

"So Sarah was right… It is a shame her father was on my alter ego." Georgia says

"This is Norfulk It is very nice!"

"Umm sir, that is the USS Wisconsin… It is not Norfolk… Norfolk is the city you drove through to get to the port here." Georgia says

Georgia looks at the lost tourist's vehicle and sees what looks to be a post office mail van.

Georgia gives her cousin a side-eye glance and the battleship nods in response.

"What is your name good sir?" Wisconsin asks

"I am the Borat." The man says

"How would you like to see a ship that is worth half of your country's GDP." Wisconsin asks

"Ja that sounds very nice," Borat says giving a double thumbs up.

"Well let us go then," Wisconsin says

"YES! Come! let us go." Borat says waving to a camera crew that appeared basically out of nowhere.
======================
Georgia was already halfway to DC by the time the quick tour of the battleship finished.
The poor man didn't even know his mail truck had gone missing because he had asked for a more detailed tour.

In truth, the irony of Georgia stealing a mail truck while playing 'This Is America' was not lost on the ship girl.
======================
The tour had finally finished and Wisconsin was showing Borat out answering a final few questions.

"So, who was that girl earlier any aways?" Borat asks

"She's part submarine as much as she denies it," Wisconsin replies dodging the question.

"Where is my milk van!"

A/n: With the global economy, the way it is in worm most of the middle eastern countries would be heavily suffering from the lack of trade due to leviathan and with how close it is to the Chaos known as the African continent I think having the country suffer monetarily was one of kindest things I could do to it.
 
Chapter 5-3
Georgia was riding in the subway. The drive from Norfolk through Richmond was tumultuous at best, It would've been significantly easier to just sail up the Potomac river. Though that would have probably set off a lot of fail safes with her radar signature. A warship sailing towards DC that would be something.
=======================
"What is Wisconsin ordering us to do?" Walker asks

"I don't fully know she was just having me shut the bleed valves for the steam system." A volunteer says

Smoke starts to leak out of the aft funnel.

"NO! Absolutely not!" Walker shouts realizing Wisconsin is trying to get underway.
A few seconds later Wisconsin felt her anchors drop into the water below and her steam bleed valves open back up.

"Damn fun police." Wisconsin mutters
==========================================

The sound of a metal detector dying is heard as Georgia tries to get into the Air and Space Smithsonian.

Security was on her in a second as several guns were pointed at her.

"Hands up!"

"Turn around!"

Georgia obliged knowing if they shot at her they would need to close the museum and that would be really annoying.
==========================

Prinz Eugen was walking around the docks. The place had transformed magnificently, with the workers delivering materials and moving cranes.

CRASH

Eugen looks over to see the Grand old lady had bumped into and knocked over a forklift.

"Hey! I can't lose my forklift certification, you can just knock it over!" The operator shouts.

"Warspite?" Eugen aks

"Ah, the luck vampire," Warspite says looking at the Hipper class.

"W-who came up with that nickname!" Prinz Eugen shouts blushing

"A smart British man, that's who. Though I am glad to see you're still around too." Warspite says closing the distance before patting the Cruisers head.

"How did you survive?" Prinz Eugen asks

"I am too stubborn to kill. Though quite a few of us are like that I am willing to bet." Warspite says

The german cruiser nods thinking of several ship spirits that are probably just around.

"I mean look at Monitor, that isn't even her hull yet there she is," Warspite says

Prinz snorts thinking about how out of all ships to do something like that it would be an American.

"Hornet?" Enterprise says having snuck up on the two other ship girls.

Warspite remains unsurprised while Eugen is shocked by the stealthy capability of the Grey Ghost.

"Oh, CV-8 and CV-12?" Warspite says

"Yeah her body may have been different however the spirit was the same," Enterprise says

"That makes sense," Eugen says
==================================
Georgia was sitting inside of an interrogation room at the DC police department while Secret and the capital police were arguing over jurisdiction.

The light on the ceiling of the dimly lit room was flickering creating a weird effect where the one-way mirror glowed a bit from the light behind.

"If I said I was a parahuman summoned here by the president himself would that help?" Georgia asks out loud to no one in particular.

Her modernized information warfare center picked up a large influx in radio traffic causing Georgia to smile. Maybe she would get to see the museum, vip tour of the Smithsonian might be a possibility after all.

10 minutes later the door to the room opens up and what could only be described as the men in black walk in.

"BB-70?" The man on the left asks.

"Yes? Though like this I go by Georgia." The ship girl responds.

"We know your identity is probably the most known secret on the east coast." The man on the right says.

"I mean what are they going to do to me? Small Arms does nothing and I'll shrug off most explosives in small quantities." Georgia says

"If you could follow us please." The agent on the right says.

Georgia obliges following the two men through the crowded police station drawing hushed whispers from everyone in the department.

"Why are we going to the basement?" Georgia asks as the follows the two men down a set of stairs.

"Well, to get to the tunnels of course. Outside is full of fans and journalists." Agent R says

"Did it leak that quickly?" Georgia asks slightly surprised by the lack of information security.

"It did, It makes it rather difficult to organize a hotel for you now as well." Agent L says

"So, you get the privilege of staying in a guest room at the white house." Agent R says

"Can you give me your names so I can stop calling you Agent Right and Left in my head?" Georgia asks

"You can call me Agent Smith."

"I am Agent Anderson."

"Hey, this is going to sound weird. Did you by chance drive an ice cream truck several times faster than it should've been able to go?" Anderson asks

"Maybe?" Georgia says

"Yeah, an abandoned ice cream truck at a subway entrance raised some flags. It's good to clear that." Smith echos.
The sound of brakes screeching can be heard echoing down
Anderson holds out his arm to stop everyone.

A roar is heard coming closer in the tunnel as it starts to light up in front of them showing a gap. A second later a subway train blows by them.
=========================================
In the Oval office. The most powerful man in the free world was staring at a bookshelf. On it was a case that had a service flag and several awards Medal of Honor, Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal.
Besides that case was a second much smaller one which had two metals in the case A Vietnam service medal and a Purple Heart.

President Evan was the first native American president of the United States. His win came as a surprise to everyone, no one ever expected a third party to win the election. Especially with that much of a landslide. In truth, he almost didn't win the electoral college but when he had won the popular vote by over 150 million votes they did a "recounting" which had him win the electoral college by 2 votes instead of losing by 20.

"Sir, she is on her way here."

"Right! This is going to be exciting." Evan says with a smile.
 
Inzwischen in Deutschland
Abelard Sigfried is an agent with the federal intelligence in his home country of Deutschland.
His current job had him doing a rather difficult task, he had to infiltrate what his government believed to be the remnant of the National Solialist german workers' party.

The Nazi's were still around the empire 88 in America was proof enough of that. Then that group in south america called Millennium, yet in the fatherland they went by Gesellschaft.

"Sigfried! Get over here! Our Source in the E88 has reported something rather interesting." An old man with an eyepatch says

"Sure thing Odin." Siegfried replies calmly walking to the table.

"That new cape that has America in a tizzy. Krieg says she's admitted to being jewish." Odin says

Sigfried pauses.

"She admitted that in a town full of nazi's?" Siegfried asks breaking character for a second.

"Yeah, in the seat of their power. Right inside the medhall to Kreig no less." Odin says agreeing with the dumbfoundedness.

"How go the Zeppelin plans?" Siegfried asks

"It is going rather well, though. After that thing Millennium pulled a few years ago the heroes are likely to be watching the sky." Odin says

"Well, that's what Thor is for." Siegfried.

Millennium had flown several Zeppelins full of wet tinkered vampires and dropped them all over london. Luckily the Alucard was there to prevent the catastrophe that would have come to be. That same monster later on managed to repel the Simurgh single handedly. The first parahuman to ever do so, a second parahuman to do so happened a few weeks ago.

"Are you sure you don't want to go through the Triggering program? You'll be perfectly fine and safe. We could use someone with your head in the parahuman forces of Gellenschaft." Odin says offhandedly.

"Dr. Obergruppenführer is a madman and you know it." Siegfried says

"Yes, however, if anyone is going to keep the yanks away, it will be him and his robotic dogs," Odin says
"I keep hearing about those dogs yet I haven't seen them," Siegfried says

"At this rate you will eventually Sigfried. You are one of the promising ones." Odin says

"Auf Wiedersehen Herr Odin." Sigfried says as the leader of Gellenschaft leaves the base.

"Shit shit shit," Siegfried swears under his breath running out of the room people needed to be informed.

The computer near the war table was open on a News Website.

Cape BB-70 to be given Presidential Unit Commendation
 
Chapter 5-4
April 10th 2011
Georgia was enjoying her time in the capital. Though today was the day of the award Ceremony.

"Are you excited about the ceremony?" A little girl says

"Of course, I am, though I wonder how the other countries are going to react to me?"

"Parahumans don't belong in the military but can one blame us when she identifies as part of the navy? I mean with that thing you are doing with the museum ships it is hard to deny what you are. Right, Georgia?"

"Of course Mr. President."

"Evans, call me Evans." President Evans corrects.

"Of course Sir." Georgia replies

President Evans sighs as his daughter giggles at the by-play.

"The Crude Oil milkshake was a nice touch though," Georgia says with an award-winning smile.

"You know, my advisors did not want you to stay here with us. "Parahumans are too dangerous" " Evans says jokingly

"We are sir, I'm just too patriotic and will always listen to my commander-in-chief." Georgia answers

"You have been a great guest though, are you absolutely certain you have no clue where our ice cream machine went?" Evans asks

"The ice cream machine has gone missing?" Georgia asks as she starts looking around suspiciously

"Did a destroyer come with me or sneak in?" Georgia asks

"I don't believe that would be possible. Right, some of the guests are here to meet you before the ceremony begins." Evans says

Georgia nods a little surprised to be led by the president himself.

The hallways of the white house made her spotters a bit nervous however what was going to hurt her?

"Captain Evans!" A female voice shouts from behind Georgia.

The battleship jumps in shock someone had snuck up on her. A spin on her heel and Georgia was facing a girl.

Georgia was fairly tall. She is a battleship after all. The girl who snuck up behind her was just half a head shorter than her. Georgia was staring at her radar due to her scale her radar picked up humans fairly easily yet this girl was invisible.

"Really Mary? I told you to just call me Evans." The president says

"I will once you let me call you by your first name." Mary

"Miss Zumwalt, your father was my commanding officer and once we meet again he will never let me hear the end of it." Evans says with a smirk

Georgia blinks several dots starting to make sense.

"Sir, she is similar to me… I think she stole the ice cream machine too." Georgia says as level as possible.

"Strategic transfer of equipment to an alternate location." Zumwalt corrects.

"Got it, the Ice Cream machine was misplaced," Evans says looking at his friend's daughter.

"You are a Zumwalt class…" Georgia says knowing exactly what type of destroyer was in front of her.

"I saw the paper for that. It was never approved." Evans says

A secretary is running towards them.

"Sir! You're late! The News Crews are all here and you have to speak in 2 minutes." She shouts
==========================================
Off in the midwest.
The world was watching. Treaties were being broken and a cape was being acknowledged as a member of the military.

The TV turns channel switches to the news station. Georgia is standing on stage a few steps back behind the president while he is up at the podium giving a patriotic speech.

"That's her isn't it." A woman asks

"Yes Faith, There she is right there," Joseph replies

"For her faithful service to the United States and its allies. I am proud to award BB-70 a presidential unit Citation." Evans says with a smirk.

If it had been a purple heart or any other award, they would have acknowledged that she was a member of the armed forces yet with the one given to entire units that leaves room for interpretation. Paired with the fact the cape believes herself to be a battleship it explains quite a bit.

Jacob seed laughs having seen through the scheme. It was brilliant, if other countries said they couldn't have BB-70 the United States could respond by asking why they couldn't have a ship.

"The move to the bay is still happening right?" Jacob asks

The mentally ill vet is excited to meet the new wolf that will for sure be joining the pack.
========================================
A man in a full red suit with a red hat and orange sunglasses sat on a wooden throne drinking red wine.

"I much prefer Netflix Seras. Though she looks to be a possible interesting fight." The man says

"But master she's getting credit as being the first parahuman to be part of the military. Is the Hellsing branch not part of her majesty's special division?" Seras asks

"Of course, we are now let me change the channel again."

"Adventure Time come on grab your friends"
 
Gott Mit Uns
"We finally made it out of the storm Herr Odin."

"Wuder acht Zeit" A man in a ss uniform mutters. Looking out the window one would see over a dozen zeppelin's flying in formation.

The Zepplin weathered the storm rather well, they didn't go up in flames after all.

"We missed the window to hit her during the awards ceremony. However, we shall find another attack of opportunity!" Odin announces

"Herr Odin, are you certain that is a good idea?"

"Of course it is Docktor! For we are Nazis!" Odin announces raising his hands in the air.

"Sieg hail! Sieg Hail!"

"Und wie, Und wie shall ACHOO"

"Gesundheit! Gesundheit!"

"Ignore that! Set course FOR AMERKIA!" Odin booms

=================================

Siegfried finally finished his report. The Calvary was on its way.

He finally was going to get some time to rest.

"I have vacation time?" Siegfried asks his boss

"Of course you do, take some time off to go skiing in Switzerland or something. We'll start preparing some forces to raid these hideouts that you've told us about. It is time that Gellenshaft fell."

"Thank you sir," Siegfried says

"You enjoy your time off. We'll take it from here."

==================================
Siegfried was watching the news from his hotel room in the Alps.

"Recent Leak from the PRT is making its way through the United States court system. With the Armsmaster Trial coming up in a few months. In other news, Cape BB-70 was given an award by the president of the united states. The Ship themed cap draws a lot of controversy with the treaty that governs cape participation in the military."

The female anchor looks over to her right off-screen as a sheet of paper is handed to her.

"This just in all across Europe Interpol is working with local governments to raid several hundreds of gellenshaft hideouts all across Europe."

"They are finally closing the noose on that blight," Siegfried says laying down in the bed and letting out a sigh of relives. A decade and a half of undercover work has come to an end.

Half a minute later the hotel room phone rings.

Siegfried looks at the phone before picking it up.

"Hallo Herr Siegfried, This is Hans at the front desk. We have a Sir Weiker on the phone who wishes to speak with you. Is it okay to transfer him?"

"Sure, go ahead."

The phone goes silent for a second before the static audio returns

"Siegfried?"

"Yes boss?" the agent responds

"You got burned, go into hiding. Several of those bases were empty. They were expecting us." General Weiker says

"Scheiß, Gitt Mit Uns." Siegfried says as he grabs his suitcase and starts heading towards the room door.

The phone was left unhooked lying on the bed.

"Gott Mit Uns." comes out of the phone's speaker to an empty room.
 
Do I hear Boss Music
April 7th 2011.
Newport News Virginia,

A small girl wearing a down sized naval officer uniform from the 1800s was passing time throwing a small steel ball up in the air and catching it.

Newport News was a small peninsula right above Norfolk. The town was relatively quiet not much exciting stuff happened especially with the Naval base just south of it.

Monitor was walking around the town bored out of her mind.

"Maybe I could go visit Wisconsin? Though Wisky scares me." Monitor mutters taking a short cut through an alley way.

The iron clad looked ahead to see the alley was a dead end.

"Ah, wrong turn." Monitor mutters spinning around.

The exit was blocked by two men. One was rather large and portly while the other one was tall and lanky. Both men had hoodies up to conceal their faces.

"Hello?" Monitor says

"howdy." The tall one says

Only to be smacked by the other one.

"We're robbing her, don't howdy her."

Monitor looks at the two shocked. "are you robbing me?" The girl asks for clarification.

"YES!" The portly one shouts

"Hey, Steve she seems nice. Maybe we shouldn't."

"Lenny you did not just say my name out loud!" Steve shouts

"You said my name out loud!" Lenny shouts back

"Oh yeah when?" Steve asks

"Just now." Lenny punctuates

Monitor starts giggling.

"Say Steve you hear that music?" Lenny asks

The two now broken out of their stupor look at the girl they were going to rob.

"Y'all've got the the worst luck." Monitor says

The two turn to see the oddest thing that loosely resembled a gun pointed at them.

The girl was also wearing plate armor over her uniform.

"Is that laminated armor?" Lenny asks

"Yes, yes it is. And this is two 11 inch bore cannons." Monitor says motioning to the turret on the hull at her side

Steve nods.

"Yes… I think surrendering is the best thing to do here."

Lenny looks at Steve in shock.

"Nigerundayo!!!" Steve shouts running out of the ally.

"So, your one of those ship girls we've heard about on the news?" Lenny asks

Monitor nods not understanding why the guy isn't running.

"Neat." Lenny says

"Are you also not going to run?" Monitor asks

"Nah, walking is fine." Lenny says nonchalantly.

"What? I mean, your under arrest!" Monitor shouts

"Ma'am…" Lenny says

"I don't have any proof do I? And there's no witnesses. You've also not hurt me or actually threatened me yet. You just let it slip you planned to rob me." Monitor says

Lenny nods again.
"it's conspiracy however I don't really think the police would press that with that whole car jacking thing and the police chase across the state." Lenny says

"Yeah what happened with that anyways? I don't have much modern tech no how so I need to rely on the news and it's not as information dense as the papers used to be." Monitor says

"Some one stole a car in Rhode Island. And some thinker managed to say the thief would show back up around Norfolk." Lenny answers

"Right, I'm goin to let ya off with a verbal warn'in then." Monitor tells Lenny.

"I appreciate it ma'am." Lenny says

"Go home already. I just wanna get back to the museum." Monitor says
 
Supply and Planting
Nevada was doing her patrol around the docks. Ever since Tagg's charge the docks have kinda become their territory especially since Lung did not contest it and the merchants were shown the door a few days ago.

Some spies were seen and barely managed to escape, from Georgia's reports those were likely to be Coil's agents.

A ping is heard on the radio.

Nevada sighs expecting the destroyers to have done something stupid again.

"You Got it York?" Nevada asks

"Yeah sure," New York responds
===============================
USS Knight was helping the dock workers unload some of the heavy crates. Shipping had started coming in again. Though the very first shipment to come in was for Georgia Beryl.

"I wonder what these are?" a dock worker asks

Knight nods.

"We could open it, Georgia wouldn't mind," Knight says

"Yeah, why not. JEFF! GET THE CROWBAR!"

"WHAAATTT!!!" Jeff shouts back

"The CROW BAR! GET THE CROW BAR!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOA-2nffob8

The crate burst open with dozens of 5-inch shells roaring as the small sunami of death hit the ground and bounced, rolling across the concrete pier.

Knight immediately jumps off the pier followed by Jeff. Johnny was crying in a fetal position surrounded by the armament.

Knight sticks her head over the pier looking at all the shells sufficiently spooked.

"None of them went off?" Knight asks

Johnny stops crying taking note of his situation.

"No, I guess not," Johnny says standing up and wiping the dust off his pants and shirt.

A few seconds later a soaked Jeff climbs out of the bay.

"That's johnny for you, Mr. I retired from Merryweather, I can handle myself. PMC is the same as the military my ass." Jeff says in joking sarcasm.

"What kind of shells are these?" Knight asks not recognizing them.

"No clue?" Jeff says

Knight nods, "Aight, I'm going to send out a ping then."

============================================
============================================

A Young woman with pale blue eyes and long black hair crawled out of the manhole.

"A few more spots to go," She says covering the spot with the cover.

Checking to make sure her utility belt was still in place she take a breath.

"If I had known that lung was gonna pussy out when i suggested this I would have never joined the ABB."

The sound of a truck coming down the road alerts the girl to the people approaching, and Quickly ducks into an alleyway between two warehouses. A truck full of men in camouflage goes by all of the guys holding rifles.

"That should be the last bomb for the Dock I can't stick around much longer the patrols are becoming more frequent." The girl mutters

With USS Enterprise being here for dry docking the Naval and Marine presence was visible, heavily so. The merchants had been forced out overnight and Skidmark shot for the infraction. He was still alive and in hiding, however, it really fucked with the power dynamics. Especially with the rumors of a base being built which would claim the docks and the train yard. She couldn't stand for the territory being taken from her gang. They may have questioned her intelligence when it came to her plan however, it would work. She would prove that it would work.

SHE WOULD PROVE THEM ALL WRONG.
 
Chapter 5-4.5
Not going to lie I thought this chapter was going to be shorter and not as monumental as it is. I also need to write another one now to explain some of the shenanigans that happened here.

April 14th.

Taylor woke up to her alarm clock going off.

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and on days like this…. Taylor looked into the mirror.

She was several inches shorter than she should have been.

"What happened… You know what. I'm not going to question this and go for my usual morning jog." Taylor says to herself.

Taylor walks down to the kitchen half expecting to see her father.

He would be shocked that the 5 foot 10-inch girl was now roughly 5ft tall. Luckily for Taylor, he was down at the docs handling the transport of a 500-ton rod of tungsten. It had been delivered with a metric shit ton of containment foam shells.

Taylor started her jog. The start was always rocky until she got up to steam. Within minutes she was out of her neighborhood and heading downtown.
=====================================
Over at a quiet house in Captain's Hill.
"If I go downtown, what are the chances the bad person won't get me?" Dinah asks
The air is silent.

"53%"

"That's better than 10," Dinah says slinging her school backpack around her shoulder, marching towards her door.

=========================================
Taylor was making great steam as she was running down the sidewalk.

She was relieved to be out of her neighborhood and out of gang territory. The dock workers' housing area was always gang territory however they all knew not to mess around in it. The last time the capes had a fight over there was in a cul de sac, just down the road from Taylor's house. Said fight had a shocking result with the Dockworkers retaliating. Homemade depth charges wreaked havoc on the merchant drug submarines. The E88 grunts found automatic gunfire; their base wouldn't be known until later when Georgia let it leak to Kurt. The Dock workers are finally planning a retaliatory strike.

Taylor suddenly feels a soft object hit her.
*whomp*

==============================
Dinah had made it out of captain's hill and was walking round downtown.

A black van was trailing her about a block behind. Dinah knew it was following her. It was what was going to hurt her, the numbers told her so.

"What are the chances of finding my solution if I go left?" Dinah says holding her head.

"12% Right it is then," Dinah says taking a right turn and immediately running into a jogger.

"Ow," Taylor mutters having fallen tumbling over Dinah.

"What are the chances that you are my hero," Dinah says out loud confusing Taylor.

Dinah holds her head letting out a tear as her power doesn't give her a number. "Is ship YES?" Dinah mutters looking up at the teen.

"Help me, those bad people in the van are trying to hurt me!" Dinah shouts.

Taylor looks up to see a black van just in front of her with the side door open and several men jumping out.

The Queen of escalation immediately stands up helping up the girl simultaneously protectively shielding Dinah with her body.

"Who are you, what do you want?" Taylor asks gathering a small swarm.

"We just want the girl, you don't have to get involved, You wouldn't if you knew what was good for you." The first guy says.

Unseen by the guys dozens of insects crawl out of the storm drain and up his leg.

A second later Mr extortion is screaming and shaking his leg.

Taylor grabs Dinah by the arm and starts running.

"We need to get to the docks, the destroyers want some violence anyways," Taylor says

"Y-you're so fast!" Dinah shouts as Taylor drags her.

"Faster?" Taylor shouts having not really heard Dinah.

A glance behind her showed Taylor that Dinah was long out of breath and barely keeping up. In some type of instinct, Taylor stopped and piggybacked the smaller girl before running at full tilt.
==================================

The van was struggling to keep up with the girl they were supposed to capture.

"We are going 40 Miles Per Hour! How are we only keeping on pace with her."

"Jon radio it in."

"Sure thing boss!" Jon says

"Sir we are chasing the girl, we might need to call in reinforcements she ran into another cape."

The radio barks to life. "I don't care get her!... Keep me updated."

The radio picks up a mutter a few seconds later not that anyone hears it. "A throwaway timeline it is then. Let's learn what we can."

"Van 3 and Car 4 cut them off at Jefferson and King Street we'll force them into a battle."
=========================================================

Taylor was approaching the intersection at Jefferson and King Street. It would be a right-hand turn then the entrance to the docks would just be 5 blocks down.

Dinah was hanging on to Taylor's back for dear life as the wind swept past them at incredible speeds. Taylor meanwhile didn't have time to question where her speed came from.

Tires squeal as several non-descript black vans and cars blocked each exit at the intersection of King and Jefferson.

Taylor nearly drifted a right turn her shoes scraping the ground as she forcefully turned.

"Hang on tight," Taylor shouts

The raven-haired girl, body-slammed a Camry launching the vehicle several feet into the air before it started tumbling away and rolling onto its roof upon landing clearing the path towards the docks.

"STOP! OR We'll shoot!" Is shouted by several of the group which seemed to be military.

"Girl, run towards the docks I got it," Taylor says

"Dinah, I'm Dinah. Thank you, Chances that you survive this encounter?" Dinah asks out loud

"100 ErroR," Dinah says flinching grabbing her head.

"I'm Taylor, Now Stop being in pain and run!" Taylor shouts turning around to face the men.

Dinah runs towards the docks knowing safety was there.

"Who are you? Why did you interfere?" A man wearing a gas mask asks

"My friends, my family would be upset if I let evil happen and did nothing about it. After all the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." Taylor says with a smile

"That's nice now it's time to die, any last words?" The man says standing in the middle of the intersection on top of the manhole.

The villain cocks his gun leveling it at Taylor.

"NO YOU!" Taylor shouts with a hand flourish.

The ground rumbles as the manhole cover in the middle of the intersection is lifted into the air by thousands upon thousands of insects poured out of the sewers as the swarm has been summoned.

The leader was swept off his feet falling into the middle of the swarm of insects.

A massive black mass of insects crashes upon the mercenaries like a wave. The well-trained men panic and open up on it with their assault rifles and tinker tech lazer guns.

"You all wanted this! You should've left well enough alone!" Taylor shouts as masses of insects start to crawl out of the storm drain while the manhole was still having a considerable stream coming out from it.
=============================
Jacob Patterson and Alex Mason were guarding the gates to the DWU offices and the Docks as a whole.

"Do you really give much credit to the talk of a base being built here?" Mason asks

"Nah, it's got to be some sort of psychological warfare to fuck with the gangs," Jacob says

Gunshots start going off in the distance.

"Is that a browning?" Mason asks

"It's pretty heavy weaponry whatever the fuck it is," Jacob says with a frown.

Mason looks in the direction of the gunfire to see a little girl limping towards them clearly exhausted.

"Jacob!" Mason shouts running up to the girl.

Jacob takes his gun off of safety and starts watching the surroundings with a critical eye.

"Y-y-you have to help her! T-Taylor is back there!" Dinah shouts hysterically pointing toward where the gunfire is coming from.

"Patterson! Call it in get all of the reinforcements!" Mason shouts in a commanding tone.

"Yes SIR." Patterson says thumbing the radio at his shoulder.

Mason picks up the girl and carries her inside the safety of the compound.
============================================
Inside the DWU office.

Danny Hebert was battling the ultimate enemy of mankind.
Paperwork when his usual silence was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Danny asks

"Mr. Hebert you need to come with us it's your daughter."

Not a second later Danny had his jacket in hand telling his guide to run.
=========================================

A truck sped into the lot by a medical tent that was set up near CV-65.

The tent was surrounded by the destroyer flotilla, the girls all dead serious standing at attention. The sight honestly made the rock, on which the DWU stood nervous.

The flap opens and Danny walks in.

His daughter is there sitting in a cot. Completely unharmed. She was shorter than she should be and wearing a jacket over her clothes.

Doing a double take Danny could see that Taylor's jogging outfit was riddled with bullet holes yet his daughter was fine.

"H-Hey, dad… Did you know I was bulletproof? I kinda wish I had." Taylor asks in self-deprecating humor.

"I had a theory, but, now I'm certain," Danny says sitting down on the cot across from his daughter relieved yet nervous.
 
Swaky's Bar in Camden.
April 15th 2011
Camden, New Jersey.

Georgia rolled up to a bar in a chrome-plated Pontiac Aztek.

The Ship girl was Halfway back to the bay and decided to stop for a bite to eat. Though the Bar having boards on some of its windows was a little bit of a surprise it probably didn't diminish the food.

Georgia sat down next to a man who was already a little intoxicated.

"I'm Just saying Capes don't belong in the army."

The bartender nods.

"Isn't BB-70 or whatever in the navy?" Georgia asks

"... That's actually a good point. The capes and their eccentricities would probably fit right in with the navy. " The Bartender voices, placing a menu down in front of Georgia.

Georgia glances at the menu.

"Are you also here to see USS New Jersey?" The drunk patron says

"Nah, I've visited the black dragon before. Ryan is rather accommodating." Georgia says

"Yes, but have yous seen her recently? That is America's ass." The drunk man says taking another gulp of beer.

Georgia glances at the clock to see it say 1:30 before looking back at the drunk man.

"Let's get back to the other topic rather than sexually harass the 58,000-ton battleship." The barman says

"That's probably a good idea. She can get a little trigger-happy sometimes." Georgia says

"Oh yeah like when?" The drunk man says

"When she sank an Island off of Vietnam," Georgia says flatly

"What's your opinion on capes and the armed forces?" The Bartender asks
"Personally I think that if the PRT didn't drop the ball so hard this wouldn't have ever been an issue," Georgia says

"Here here!" The Drunk patron says cheering with an empty glass.

The Barman nods. "I wanna say it sets a bad precedent but the Soviets and the Chinese openly break that treaty anyways."

"Are you saying the Navy can't have a battleship?" Georgia asks

"It goes against the NATO charter."

"That's only if they are a cape. What if BB-70 could prove they are not one I mean are all the ship spirits we see around now capes?" Georgia asks

"Give it a few days, PRT is probably going to give them a case file and call them all capes." The barman says

"Do you think anyone is going to listen to the PRT anymore? I mean, just look at the number of "heroes" heading to the birdcage." Georgia says

"Qualified immunity." The drunk patron says

"That would lead to fighting in the streets. There would be riots." Georgia says

The barman shrugs his shoulders.
 
Chapter 5-5
Taylor was sitting on a cot at the impromptu medical tent.

"Seems to be shell shock." Bay says looking at her shorter counterpart.

"That would make sense, however I believe the little destroyer that could is tougher than that." Warspite says

"I'm a ship girl? And a Parahuman?" Taylor says aloud confused.

"What did you mean by you had a theory dad?" Taylor asks

Danny sits next to his daughter on the cot.

"Your mother, and I really wanted a child. We tried for years and years. Your mother Annette loved naval history, I mean she was both the language arts and history professor at Brockton Bay Community College. Her father served aboard the USS Taylor during Korea and wanted to name our first child after the ship.
When the destroyer was cannibalized for parts in 1971 your mom bought as many of the parts as she could.
A week later we got news from the paternity doctor. Annette was incapable of having children, she cried for days and buried herself into her research on her father's ship.
Then one morning I woke up to a baby crying downstairs." Danny admits

"That was me?" Taylor asks

"Annette had gotten drunk the night before and was working on what she called her shrine. With how distraught she was, I let her do what she wanted and funded her projects. She was working on something she called the shrine. I came down to the kitchen that morning and the shrine was gone, just scraps left. Instead in a basket was a baby girl, when Annette was ecstatic once her hangover had cleared. We had a beautiful little daughter which we named Taylor." Danny says finishing his tale.

"Danny, Fletcher says the mayor is here," Taylor says emotionlessly

"I don't think I should leave you alone. Are you okay?" Danny asks nervously.

"She needs time to think, Mr. Hebert, I'll watch her for you," Warspite says

"Are you certain that you are okay, Taylor?" Danny asks

Taylor nods her head robotically.
=====================================================

Roy Christner was down at the docks in Danny Herbert's office.

He had gotten a call from the police department when they discovered his sister and her husband unconscious in the home.

The PRT should've been watching the house, they should've been safe. His niece shouldn't have had to run across town barefoot. Overusing her powers to get to safety, literally playing the odds.

The office door opens as the boss of the docks walks in.

"I want to personally thank your daughter for publicly outing herself to save my niece." Roy says

"I thought Georgia warned you that she had caught the attention of someone dangerous." Danny says sitting at his desk.

"How did you know that?" Roy asks

"Georgia likes to release a report, daily of all the major things she did for the day." Danny says

"Makes sense with her crazy schedule," Roy admits.

"You haven't seen half of it." Danny says jokingly.

"Is she aware of what happened?" Roy asks

"She is, she's on her way up from Camden. Her head is probably already drawing up battle plans and tactics to retaliate with. She knows the one responsible, and she knows where his base is." Danny says

"Who is it?" Roy asks

"Coil, the man is extremely difficult to pin down, his mercenaries either end up dead or slip through by the narrowest of margins," Danny says

"My Sister and Brother in law are in a medically induced coma. I want him brought to Brockton Bay's justice." Roy states

"Those are fighting words. And I like them." Danny says with a smile.

"The BBPD is behind you, and My office won't let this rest." Roy says

Danny reaches down and places a large binder on the table with a thud.

"This is going to be a long conversation then." Danny says with a smile

The binder's title is The Life and Lies of Thomas Calvert.
========================================
Georgia was driving north on the highway wishing she had gotten a faster car.
The three-wheeled thing ran like it had a lawn mower or weed wacker engine in it.

"I miss the Pontiac already. A reliant robin would be faster than this joke of a car." Georgia says aloud.
 
Chapter 5-6
April 19th 2011,

Georgia rolled into the bay in a DALE, the three wheeled 100 mpg car that sparked a federal court case. And Georgia had one of 3 road functional models currently parked outside of the Mayor's office.

Last time she had to wait at city hall for a while. This time her civilian Id and her cape Id being separate is polite fiction and the woman at the desk recognized her immediately.

"Hey, can you tell the Mayor I'm here to give him his invitation and is Mrs Higgins in as well?" Georgia asks

The secretary squeaks before nodding her head.

"Great, just tell them I am here to see both of them." Georgia says with a bright smile before sitting in the same seat she sat last time.
===================================
Roy Christner was in his office. Going through the paperwork given to him by the District Attorney. The mess of the Winslow Incident was coming to light and if he didn't prepare it would have hurt his polls. Luckily a different government entity screwed up worse.

Was there a conflict of interest involving the PRT's lawsuit, yes there was considering his niece had triggered and wouldn't be safe in the wards, which had Triumph upset since he led the wards until recently.

The phone rings the internal number coming from his Secretary.

The mayor pressed the answer button, leaving it on speaker.

"Is everything okay Monica?" Roy asks

"Georgia is here to see you sir. She said she wants to see Jasmine as well." Monica says through the phone.

Roy rubs his forehead at the coming headache. "Is the conference room ready?" Roy asks

"Yes sir." Monica says

"Send her there, and I'll make my way over." Roy says
==================================
Georgia was sitting down in a meeting room juggling some 20mm AA ammo, why? because people's reactions were funny.

The Mayor walks in followed by a tall woman with long black hair.

"Mr Christner and Miss Higgins, how are you two doing on this lovely day?" Georgia asks

"I am doing well Georgia, I was just down at the docks yesterday, that museum building is coming along nicely when are you going to be opening it anyways?" Roy says

"Hopefully tomorrow, the last girl we are waiting for is arriving tonight." Georgia says with a smile she couldn't wait to surprise the three enterprises.

Miss Higgins smiles.

"That's the reason I came to give all of you these personally," Georgia says handing the two a letter each.

Jasmin Higgins the head of the Conventions and Visitors bureau looks at the invitation to the opening Gala of the Brockton Bay Naval Museum.

"You, most of these types of events take a lot longer to plan out," Jasmine says

"You really think I haven't been planning?" Georgia asks

"I mean, you seem the type to charge in and think of consequences later." Jasmine says
=======================================
Across the Bay at Medhall.
Maxwell Anders was opening a letter from the battleship cape herself.

—-------------------------------------------------------------
Herr Anders.

I would like to invite you and 10 guests to the opening of the Brockton Bay Naval Museum.

One of the main draws being KMS/USS Prinz Eugen.

Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie dort zu sehen
—---------------------------------------------------

With a click the phone is immediately dialing the chief of security.
"Brad! Get the gang together and get some formal wear. We have a party to go to." Max says with a smile.

=========================================

Carol Dallon was going through her mail when she noticed a letter that had no stamps and no return address.

"Huh, how did this even get delivered?" Carol asks, opening the letter.

A small amount of confetti falls out of the envelope followed by A custom made post card of several warships anchored in the bay with the city in the background.

Carol flips over the card.
—---------------------------------
Please make sure New Wave or the Dallon and Pelham families come to the opening Gala of the Brockton Bay Naval Museum.

Georgia Beryl.
—---------------------------------

"I think it would be nice to go to one of these events as a family instead of New Wave." Carol murmurs

"VICTORIA!!!!!'

"A nice happy family." Carol says
==============================================
April 20th 2011.

5 am
Danny was driving to the union.

"Good morning Brockton Bay. Today is Wednesday and what a lovely Wednesday morning it is. Though the weather is likely to be overcast most of the day, it is warming up outside as winter is ending and we are going into Spring." The radio announces.

Danny is traveling down the empty back street waiting for the music to cut on.

"Before we start our morning, I am unsure if you all have heard the rumors, however I can personally confirm it. This morning while checking my mailbox I found an invitation to the Gala at Brockton Bay's newest tourist attraction. It has managed to build up an inconceivable amount of hype with anyone who's anyone having gotten an invitation to the last Minute party down at the docks. I for one am excited to see something good and new making its way into the bay hopefully it's here to stay. Now then let's start the music."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ

"Georgia you're Distracting everyone from the court case." Danny mutters as his ancient chevy pulls into the docks.

The first day of the landmark case was to take place on the 25th.

=====================================================
At Cauldron's base.

"So, we all got a letter as well?" Alexandria asks

"Yep, I plan on giving Texas a lift over." Eidolon says

"I still don't know how that cape did it." Legend says

"Drones." Doctor Mother says
