<em>Fuso</em>listened as Ari delivered her orders for a defense cordon "hai..hai' she called out casually as she shifted her large hull about to begin setting up for protection. She readied her weapons once more and then her mental model stretched a bit. "This is going to be interesting" she mused as she watched the actions of the other ships around them.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Shimakaze</em>watched as they sort of took the supply ship into their protection and shook her head "Today is just strange" she mused softly but couldn't help but smile at the supply ship. She moved in to say hello "Um...hello I'm Shimakaze a destroyer in this little squadron it's nice to meet you miss Abbydale"<br/><hr/><br/><em>I-8</em>was mildly surprised when her personal com pinged again and she opened it to get a voice she wasn't expecting to hear<em>"So this is where you've been hiding" </em>the voice held a tone of cheer to it. "I didn't expect to hear from you so soon..."<em>I-8</em>remarked in response "So she told you where I was did she?" the other voice chuckled<em>"Yeah...under orders from the supreme flagship mind you"</em><em>I-8 </em>brooked no argument or comment upon hearing that.<em>"anyways you tell your little friends that you've got contacts inbound. We are already within firing range"</em>. To say she was surprised that they were that close was an understatement "all...right I'll let them know then" She then closed the private com to open a public one with everyone present. "We have incoming contacts....Fleet of Fog IFF tags....however I cannot discern their intentions"<br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/12/03/45/77/utena10.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=168&amp;u=12034577)</div></div><br/>Some distance from the misfit ships and the supply ship another group of Fog vessels floated aiming their guns at the misfits. The one who had spoken to<em>I-8</em>chuckled after cutting communications. This ship had the appearance of a World War II Brittish Royal Navy Battleship<em>HMS Howe</em>the mental model was a lovely pink haired young woman with pale skin and bright blue eyes. She stood holding a rose in her hand up under her nose "Alright everyone open fire using ballistic rounds" she called out cheerfully.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/12/03/45/77/sayaka10.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=169&amp;u=12034577)</div></div><br/>"do you have to be so cheerful about this?" asked a blue haired mental model not far from the pink haired battleship. This ship was a heavy cruiser known as<em>Prinz Eugen</em>She was as many often jokingly called her the "Ever Suffering" second to whatever ship she was assigned to as it seemed that she was often paired with crazy or energetic battleships. The two were surrounded by light cruisers and destroyers who all opened fire.
