<em>Shimakaze</em>blinked as the communication from Ari came up and asked she,<em>Arashi</em>, and Mizuki to explore the islands before reporting back. Honestly<em>Shimakaze</em>didn't like the ominous feeling in the wind but she had received orders from her flagship. "I understand Ari...but please let it be noted that I feel something rather ominous in the wind here." Having said her piece the destroyer powered up her turbines to steam on ahead towards the islands. She thought that the waters here felt grim and tense almost as though the waters themselves were expecting something.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Fuso</em>could only kick back and relax for now and wait to see what the destroyers would report. The large dreadnaught turned her gaze back to the sky as she sat back down on her decks. She had found herself staring at the sky and remembering the past more and more often and she was beginning to wonder if this were a sign of guilt. She had come to realize she was really and truly fond of these ships and their quirky ways. "Ah...perhaps the time is fast approaching" she remarked to herself as she stared once more at the clouds. Any of the other ships who could see her would notice that she seemed to be lost in a sort of daze.<br/><hr/><br/>Iya drifted beneath the waves a bit to the east of the rest of the fleet and at a relaxed pace with her sensors monitoring the actions of the others. She noticed as the three destroyers made their way towards the islands ahead of them. "I wonder how this meeting will affect your judgement" She stated softly as she stared at two images before her.  She decided she would speak with Ari again soon.<br/>
