After everything that had happened today, she was on edge, and it was showing by the way she was banging out loud sonar 'pings' every few seconds; she did not want to get blind-sided again.<br/><br/>Back with the others,<em>Effingham</em>was taking full stock of the messes, as she drew up alongside the battered<em>Abbeydale</em>and surveyed her ruined decks and mangled superstructure. As she began her in-depth probing, she quickly found some good news; the damage to Abbey was less severe than it looked; she was still sea-worthy and ship-shape with regards to her hull and her internal compartments; all she needed was nanomaterials to repair and replace her ruined upperworks, and she'd be good as new.
