Iya drifted below the waters a good distance from the rest of the fleet not wanting to be physically anywhere near them. She then sent a message to Effie that was audio only. "Greetings acting flagship<em>Effingham</em>I must say that things turned out quite a bit better than I expected them to." she paused here before speaking again "I'm sure that Jean-Bart is already aware of this but so long as Shinano's submarines maintain their lock on Ari then we have little hope of a swift recovery. I am already working on freeing her of their grip but it will take time since I've mad an enemy of my old comrades and there are three of them versus myself." She left the message at that.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Fusou</em>was sitting up on her foremost turret staring idly up at the sky she knew it was only so long before the others decided to start grilling her over being a spy for<em>Yamato</em>still she wasn't going anywhere and she had no intention of fighting those she considered friends even if they didn't view her that way anymore. She had more or less given up on that spy job the day the fleet had left the island not mentioning that they had ever left.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Shimakaze</em>Sat atop her tower tears streaming down her face. She was quite depressed considering what was going on around them. She couldn't quite understand why things had to turn out the way they had and she wished it was all just a dream though she knew it wasn't. "Today....the wind is bad" she whispered softly.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Jean-Bart</em>,<em>Alaska</em>, and<em>Hawaii</em>had all drifted away from Ari as Suzu and Abby had made their approaches. They didn't want to interfere too much with the goings on as they considered themselves the newest members of this fleet. They drifted around close though so that they could observe.
