Though when the Call came in from the Other fleet's flag, Ari's eyebrows knitted as she listened to the Message. However, that didn't mean she stopped firing for the moment. Apparently, they were in the company of an HMS Howe, and that she was conceeding a match. Was this a game to her!? Ari's lips were a thin scowl as she considered whether or not to actually accept this "Cease Fire". However, in the End, the Admirialty Code can not be Over looked. She opened a channel to her fleet. "All Ship, Cease Fire." She instructed as her own cannons came off line. She then opened a link to Howe. "I agree to your temporary cease Fire, on one condition. We meet in person." Arizona stated as she then highlighted a sector of Ocean about midway between the two fleets. "You may bring one escort." Arizona stated.<br/><br/>Once the terms were agreed upon, Arizona opened up a private channel to Effie, Texas, and Shimakaze. "Continue to get Abby to safety. I'll try, and buy us time. If anything happens to me, get the others to safety, Effie." She stated before opening it to the others in her fleet. Everyone remain on alert, Fuso please check on Mizuki. Zara, if you would be so kind as to check on Bayern, and have her check you out." Arizona asked since Zara wasn't part of her fleet. The last thing that Arizona did was open private channels to both Suzu, and Arashi. "If you will please accompany me, Suzu. Arashi, continue to work the defenses, but keep out of sight." She stated. <br/><br/>Arizona took a deep breath before she started forward from the rest of the group. This was going to be her first real test as a Flagship. She was nervous, but was trying to hide it. She knew she couldn't appear weak, or nervous when meeting with Howe as that would put her at a severe disadvantage in the discussions. Arizona looked over at Suzu as she steamed along side. It was interesting in that in another time, and place this would have been unheard of. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><em>Suzu</em>herself was not exactly too happy with being told that they had to cease fire. She wanted to object but that was the way things were, she would follow<em>Ari</em>'s commands. She pulled alongside the other ship her spear in hand. "I am your sword and your shield My Flagship!" she said tapping the hilt of the spear on the deck. Her cannons themselves all turned in direction they would need to be if things decided to get hostile once more. She would defend Her Flagship with every bit of her being.<br/><br/><em>Arashi</em>nodded her head to<em>Ari</em>. "You got it<em>Ari</em>." she said dashing off to hide herself away the fighting while she still remained connected to<em>Ari</em>'s systems as she acted essenially as a secondary processor that was dedicated towards defense. As she hid though<em>Arashi</em>sent the command to her ship self to make for best speed to keep up with<em>Bayern</em>,<em>Zara</em>,<em>Texas</em>,<em>Fuso</em>,<em>Mizuki</em>,<em>Shimakaze</em>,<em>Effie</em>and of course<em>Abbey</em>. "Now let's hope that things can resolve peacefully and we can continue onward and I can find<em>that</em>sub.<br/><br/><em>Texas</em>herself didn't much like this whole affair herself and it almost sounded like<em>Ari</em>was giving herself up so the others could get away. "Well ya take yerself ya hear me darlin. I didn aim ta leave that ole hole we left just ta loose some of us along the way to our grand mission. We'll make sur the little darlin here gets ta safety. Ya hear?" she said to her as she closed down the line before opening one up with<em>Fuso.</em>"Hey Sugarcube ah got a question fer ya. Would it be possible to set up somin kinda repay thing the shoot extra long distance just incase that whole thing<em>Ari</em>'s gonna try goes south?" she asked her.
