As Arizona looked around in the Darkened Cabin, a glint of light caught her eye. It was Suzu's spear. The "Samurai" mental Model was sitting at the foot of her bed, and appeared to be lightly dozing. Her face was so serious, and calm. Arizona looked at Suzu a moment, and tilted her head. Suzu was always so straight laced, and dedicated, why was she exiled to the Island with the rest of them? Why was she? That was the one question that has plagued Arizona since she gained her Mental Model. Why were <em>They</em> abandoned.<br/><br/>Arizona slipped from the bed, and stood up. THe pale moonlight filtering in from the porthole make her fair skin seemed to glow as she stood there completely nude. Her long crimson hair hanging down her body. SHe manifested a soft blanket and gently draped it around Suzu before before Arizona gave the samurai a soft smile. Returning to her bed, she fell back asleep until morning. <br/><br/>========================================<br/><br/>Soon, several specks could be seen off on the horizon. It was the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii, like much of the world suffered greatly once the Fleet of Fog Blockade took affect. The Rising water levels having sunk vast parts of the islands, and severely reduced usable Farming lands. So Famine ran amok the first couple of years after the blockade, resulting in a much more diminished human population. Arizona stood upon the bow of her ship, and looked at the islands intently. Something about them were drawing her to them. Calling out to her. WHat was it? Why should she even care about Land masses? She grimaced as she was very uncomfortable with this rather odd sensation, she believed it was called Deja' Vu. Yet, exploring the island could be a good way to discern the state of the Fog, and World at large for those of them that hasn't been apart of it for over the last decade.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><em>Suzu</em>awoke from her nightly maintenance she noticed there was a fleece blanket wrapped around her. It didn't take her long to figure out that it was<em>Ari</em>who had placed the blanket around her. She blushed a bit from the gesture but she also foresaw the consequences that<em>Ari</em>had seen her and she had fallen asleep while on duty. She slowly folded the blanket before taking her spear and walking out to meet<em>Ari</em>with her on deck. "Gomen for falling asleep on my vigil." she said to<em>Ari</em>as she stood on forward deck of<em>Ari</em>'s ship self. She then noticed that something was bothering the other ship. "Is something wrong my Flagship." she said to her.<br/><br/>___________________________________<br/><br/><em>Arashi</em>settled on the deck watching the waves crash off of her bow. They were closing in on what was called the island of Hawaii. "Well this should prove to be interesting." she said getting up and stretching a bit. She looked over at<em>Shimakaze</em>and<em>Fuso</em>. "So what do you think of this place we are coming up on?" she asked them as she turned to see<em>Suzu</em>coming out onto<em>Ari</em>'s front deck.<em>Arashi</em>grinned. "So what do you think might have happened last night?" she asked the other two ships.<br/><br/>___________________________________<br/><br/><br/>
