"AIR RAID!!!!"<br/><br/>Savannah had been admiring the artificial sunrise of the island's destruction when Texas' screamed warning registered on her sensors. The light cruiser shifted into a combat stance instinctively. Her wave-force armor began to energize as her high angle lasers charged and trained skyward. Her smaller five inch particle cannons like wise went up in their high angle mounts as the VLS covers peeled back where her boat deck would have been if she was the real<em>U.S.S. Savannah</em>. Power surged through her graviton drive as she accelerated to over sixty knots and turned hard to starboard (http://navalmarinearchive.com/research/cruisers/cr_ims/cr_img_19.jpg) trying to throw off any supposed attacker's aim. Her banners and pennants dissolved away as she leaned into her turn, disappearing both to reduce her visbility but also to free up the nano-materials for damage repair. Her sensors went to full power, blasting the sky with various types of radiation but even a quarter of the way through her turn it was obvious something was amiss. While the Arizona had crashed dived no other ship looked to be reacting properly to the threat of an air attack. Mind you an attack by human aircraft would likely end very quickly and very messy for the humans but it always paid to be careful about such things.<br/><br/>It was the Effingham's actions that made it clear what was going on. A practical joke, at the other battleship's expense. It was a very strange reaction to say the least but it had been what the Texas wanted she assumed.<br/><br/>Reducing her speed to a more appropriate rate she continued on through her turn. Her guns slowly returned to their stowed condition while her VLS cells shut tight again, disappearing under their wooden covers. Her sensors returned to their normal levels though caution still had her air search radar amp'd up more than normal. "Ms. Texas," she asked primly over the comms. "Was that entirely necessary?" her  banners and pennats unfurled again as if they had just been stowed.<br/><br/>She pulled back into formation, taking her position on the screen as the heavy cruiser pulled along side her. Size wise she didn't exactly dwarf Savannah but her main guns and armor certainly outclassed her. The<em>Savannah</em>had been built for speed and hunting destroyers while a ship like the<em>Zara</em>was intended to protect ships like the<em>Arizona</em>and<em>Texas</em>from the likes of her. When the Zara took up station off her starboard side Savannah walked out onto  the flying bridge and waved back to her, smiling politely. "Hello darling," she called to the other ship.
