<em>Shimakaze</em>sat atop her bridge a cup of tea in hand enjoying the breeze. She took a sip of the drink and noticed that Ari was looking back over the fleet. "Is something the matter Ari?" she asked in a soft and curious tone. The little destroyer couldn't help but feel a little worried for the battleship as she had seemed out of it since the discovery of her missing gravity cannon. She knew Ari was a kind and sensitive "soul" much like herself so she viewed the battleship with a certain sense of self evaluation.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Fusou</em>stood atop her bridge staring at the islands ahead with a gnawing sense of dread. She knew they wouldn't find what Ari was expecting to find in fact she was wondering how it was that Ari would react when they found their "Contact" though the battleship had to admit she was curious why it had suddenly stopped transmitting. "I wonder what happened...." She mused quietly to herself as she sailed along in formation with everyone else. The green haired mental model if anyone payed attention seemed to be slowly but surely becoming more reclusive and pensive over the last few weeks.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Jean-Bart</em>sat on her deck with<em>Hawaii</em>, and<em>Alaska</em>at either side of her the trio had a bottle of wine between them and each had a glass. The two battlecruisers sailed alongside their mistress. They weren't part of the formation considering their weapons were locked down by Ari. The three ships had come to like the redheaded American Battleship. The silver haired french ship was glad that they had become somewhat friends over time. She also hoped the other trusted them enough to return their weapons should they need them.<br/><br/>"Lady Jean....are you worried about something?"<em>Alaska</em>asked curiously as she took another sip of her wine. She was worried about her mistress who had seemed rather distracted as of late. Her sister was also worried but was unsure of how to word it.<br/><br/>"I am fine my dears....just concerned about our new friend is all" the battleship in question responded. She had a smile on her lips as she made this response.<br/>
