I'm Heavy Cruiser<em>Zara</em>, from the Med Patrol, and just behind me there is Battleship<em>Bayern</em>." she made the introductions.<br/><br/>Ari would be able to see now that<em>Zara</em>looked a bit off in some ways; her forward guns had scorching around their muzzles, and there were more scorch marks on her decks, indicating that she'd been in a fight not that long ago, a fight where she'd been firing her guns in Ballistics Mode, and had launched at least one volley of missiles.
