Just a few notes before the first chapter.
I am new to posting on this website, so bear with me while I try to figure out what does what. I have only ever read stories off my phone from here before.
This story was partially inspired by Grey Haze on fanfic.com and my love for navy history in general. I will state that I am not an expert in navy history and may get certain things wrong so do feel free to correct me just please be polite about it.

========================
February 18, 2011
It was a dark night, in the Brockton bay ship graveyard. The night was silent as the full moon lit reflected off the freezing water. The cold winter air caused a few of the hulls to creak as a breeze blew through. When suddenly a humanoid shape stirred awake.
"Oww… Did somebody get the license plate of the truck that hit me?" Is asked aloud.
The silence resumes as the girl watches the condensation from her breath.
"My voice is several octaves higher than it should be, and why don't I feel cold," She says aloud.
"Hey!"
"Oh… I got Isekaied and appear to be a ship girl, well crap… might as just roll with it," She says standing up shakily.
"Hey!"
"What do you all mean you aren't my crew?" The girl asks
"Hey"
"I'm the USS Georgia? Wasn't that a pre-dreadnought battleship? I am fairly certain I am not the Nuclear Submarine… I'm completely obsolete!" Georgia shouts
"Hey! HEY!"
"The paper Battle Ship Georgia? So now I know what I am. Now I need to know where I am." Georgia says
Georgia leans against a steel hull of one of the freighters using her radar and spotters to try and determine a location.
'I'm tempted to launch a scout plane however the ships here would get in the way." Georgia thinks
With that thought, the Freighter she is leaning on disappears in a mote of light becoming a blue cube which is instantly stored aboard in her cargo hold.
"Okay then… did we just get materials we could use to upgrade me?" Georgia asks confused.
"Hey!"
"Oh if we get enough we can also place it down as a ship as well? I should take as many of these as possible then." Georgia says shocked
Looking out into the bay Georgia notices a giant oil freighter blocking the shipping channel.
"Ship Graveyard… Giant freighter… Dead shipping city. Hey, are we picking up a radio in use by a department called the PRT?" Georgia asks
"Hey?"
"Well shit," Georgia says
"Turn off the radar! Stop all radio traffic only listen to incoming signals. I need to collect as many ships as I can before people show up." Georgia says
'Wish I had the date, or that I was modernized and wasn't running off of 1940s tech. Internet access would be great right now. So plan, go to the dock workers. I can pretend my Powers allow me to scrap move and build ships with powers. I could help Mr. Hebert restart the economy here, and probably meet Taylor' Georgia thinks.
"Could we use the blue cubes to perform some retrofits? Like a digital fire control computer rather than analog? Or maybe get some computers in here?" Georgia asks her crew as another member of the Ship Graveyard disappears.
"Hey… Hey?"
"Really? We can that's great. Also, it's fine I've got a plan." Georgia says
"Hey."
"Speaking of which if you all aint my crew who are you?" Georgia asks
"Hey."
"So.. I've got some of New Jersey crew, along with some shipbuilders and engineers… Das ist gut." Georgia says
'I know german? Wait am I calling on knowledge from my crew?' Georgia thinks realizing stuff.
"Hey!"
"You want to use a cargo room for engineering and designing?" Georgia asks having run out of ships on the beach and was moving out skating across the water to start getting the ones in the bay.
"Hey"
"Sure That sounds great, once we start to modernize we should have plenty of room once we start to replace some of the analog components. I remember that New Jersey also served as a repair ship and machine shop in the Persian Gulf." Georgia says looking back at the coast towards the docks. One of the few warehouses has the lights on with a few security people and a decrepit fence surrounding some of the port's infrastructure.
"Found you," Georgia says sailing towards the people.
===================================
Georgia is sitting in a dimly lit office of a warehouse. The few street lights out of the window are barely lighting the area, with a very nervous man sitting across from her.
'I get that he saw me walking on water, however, it's not like I'm the second coming of Jesus. You would think that the Broktonites were used to parahuman shenanigans by this point.' Georgia thinks
"So can I get you anything, miss?"
"A job? Hi, my name is Georgia and I want your Union to hire me." Georgia says
"What?"
"I mean this is a union right? You need people doing PR. I have a degree in management with a specialty in customer service and public relations." Georgia says with a smile
"Aren't you a cape?" the man asks
"So, what's your name?" Georgia asks not answering the question.
"My name is Kurt."
"RIght, Kurt. How much do you think it would take to get the old ferry running, along with using some of the unused docks for something like a museum ship? It shouldn't be too hard to even put in a semi-dry birthing like the USS Kidd has." Georgia says excitedly
"Why would we do that? And how would we get approval for the ship? Most of the mothball fleet is scrapped or was stolen by parahuman warlords." Kurt says
"I'll worry about the ship. Anyways you should probably give the head of hiring a call since the ship graveyard is gone." Georgia says with a smile.
"What!" Kurt shouts before running to the window.
=================
At the Hebert Household 4 am.
Taylor wakes up and heads downstairs to answer the phone. When she picks it up she recognizes the voice of Kurt who was asking for her father.
"Dad! Kurt is on the phone! Something about an emergency at the DWU!" Taylor shouts
"I'm coming Taylor!" Danny says making his way down the stairs.
"Hey, dad," Taylor says with a yawn once her dad gets into the kitchen.
"You should get back to bed Little Owl, It's Friday and you've got school in three hours," Danny says
"Right, have a good night dad," Taylor says heading back upstairs. There are enough bugs in the phone for her to listen in anyway.
"Danny we need you at the DWU offices now. There's a girl here and she wants to meet you. The ship graveyard, it's gone Danny," Kurt says over the phone.
"Hey, Taylor you still awake?" Danny asks
"Yeah!?" Is heard from upstairs.
"I've got to get to work! Something came up!" Danny shouts.
"Okay, dad!" Taylor shouts
Once the door closes.
"I wish my costume was done," Taylor says knowing her dad is about to go meet a cape unprotected.

Danny parked his old chevy truck outside of the DWU office. The parking lot was full of potholes while the entry gate was stuck in the open position while the exit gate had the arm removed.
"Right, so I'm meeting the cape that I have been praying for this whole time. She removed the entire ship graveyard in a night. Calm down not all capes are bad, you need to forget the instinct the teeth and slaughterhouse 9 left behind last time they visited the bay." Danny says pulling his keys out of the ignition.
Looking over one could see a bay empty of the wreckage and a beach void of the hulls which had filled it until recently. It was a humbling sight, Danny may have cried a little.
Danny was not an incredibly fit man like Kurt or many of the other ex-military workers here at the docks. However, they all respected him for keeping the proverbial ship afloat.
Danny gets into the offices which were converted from a warehouse. The once full building is mostly empty with a skeleton crew working the night shift to keep the merchants out.
"So? You guys aren't like the teamsters?" Georgia asks
"As much as the villains try they won't get control of us like the mafia controlled the teamsters," Kurt says
"That's good, I wanna help in ways that don't make me fight," Georgia says after all she doesn't have a non-lethal option.
"I understand that," Kurt says
"Kurt, I'm here and I am still convinced that this is a dream," Danny says
"You think this is a dream? Just you wait till I make an exact replica of a WW2 battleship appear in the harbor here." Georgia says excitedly
"What? Sorry but no I can not let you just come in here and take over the Dock Workers union." Danny says
"What? Why would I wanna do that? I wanna work with you guys though on paper I would be working for you." Georgia says giving Danny a wink.
"I don't believe we could legally employ a cape," Danny says
"Legally speaking I am not a cape. I don't have that brain tumor thing that all capes have." Georgia says
"Really? You're positive?" Danny asks
Georgia replies with a so-so motion with her hand.
"I am Georgia, It is nice to meet you, Mr. Hebert. If you want we could draft up a contract here for my employment, then go have an MRI done. If I have that power thing then you don't hire me and I'll work as a volunteer for room and board. If I don't have the tumor thingy then you hire me full time as the curator of the Replica Museum ships." Georgia says
"I am not gonna walk right into that verbal contract. Kurt call the lawyer, and you might as well remain seated Miss Georgia this is gonna take a while." Danny says
"Right, on the condition that you do not tell the PRT on me. That organization is beyond corrupt, can't even file reports with the police department. Meaning they can't even hold the gang members that are captured." Georgia says with a huff.
"That explains so much," Kurt mutters
"So, how old are you?" Danny asks
"20ish. In truth, I don't know exactly." Georgia says she was a 90s kid after all and since it's 2011 she's technically younger.
"Got it?" Danny says
"Power shenanigans could we maybe talk about something else?" Georgia asks.
"..."
"..."
"What is your previous work experience?" Danny asks
"I have a lot of experience in the customer service sector actually. My first job was a summer camp counselor, However, as a former manager at Disney World before I got my powers I feel like, that is what will help me most here." Georgia says
"Do you have any experience with advertisement and.." Danny stops with the look that Georgia was giving him.
"Yes, I have quite a lot. Though the state laws are likely different here, and I will tell you OSHA would rip us a new one at the moment." Georgia says looking up at the long out of date infrastructure.
"Not to mention, we will need to restart your Port authority and clear a few things with U.S. Maritime Administration. That is not to mention the coast guard." Georgia says
"That is just beuaracy and my specialty," Danny says
That's when the door to the office opened.
"Hey, Lewis we need to draft a contract," Danny says looking up to see the union lawyer walk in.
"Hello, welcome to the docks at 5 am," Georgia says
"You are going to be a headache. I just know it," Lewis says
"I mean I am from Florida," Georgia says
==============
Meanwhile aboard the Rig.
A few agents were monitoring the Consol band when A massive massive wave of interference its a few channels before stopping.
"Man I was hoping for a boring night," Joshua says
"I was too, I mean there wasn't even any gang skirmish." David
"Console from Armsmaster. I already have a location, and I plan on investigating after I figure out what the signal might've come from."
"Of course, he's awake already…" The agent says before pressing the talk button. "10-4 Armsmaster, keep us informed."
When Armsmaster arrived to find the ship Graveyard empty it truly surprised him. That after all is the reason that Emily Piggot is awake at this ungodly hour.
"So, you are telling me. That the entire ship graveyard is gone, along with the freighter blocking the channel." Emily says in disbelief still trying to wake up.
"Yeah it's just gone, there was no sign of the parahuman responsible either," Armsmaster says
"Ask around someone has to know something, What am I going to tell the other directors, that was several thousand tons of steel, and it's gone without a trace. What would a parahuman even want all of that for," Piggot says
"PHO is going to go crazy in the morning," Armsmaster says
"So the radio interference we picked up what was it?" Piggot asks
"It nearly matches that of an American Battleship's radar system signal was close but not an exact match to that of the Iowa class," Armsmaster says
"I've got a few calls to make then, There might be a missing museum ship," Piggot says with a groan.
"Right, so I'm meeting the cape that I have been praying for this whole time. She removed the entire ship graveyard in a night.

The sun could not have risen slower. At the moment Georgia was riding with Kurt down to medhall where a friend would be able to run an MRI for a cheap price.
"I still don't trust medhall," Georgia says
"What's not to trust?" Kurt asks
"I can not tell you because of the unwritten rules. Does that answer your question?" Georgia asks
"Oh, well shit. You are positive you won't come up as a parahuman on the machine right?" Kurt asks
"90% certain I won't," Georgia asks
"You, don't have any family nearby you should be worried about right?" Kurt asks
"My nearest family member is a Great Great Great Grandmother over in Boston, actually my kid niece is also in Boston I think? I've also got a Cousin close by in Camden New Jersey, though if they go after her the black dragon is sure to surprise them." Georgia says trying not to giggle.
"That's a lot of greats… So your niece? If you don't mind me asking what's her name?" Kurt asks
"Cassin," Georgia says
Realization seems to dawn on Kurt before he decides to fish for information.
"Do you have a great-grandmother in Texas? I'm also gonna guess Cassin has a sister in Lousiana," Kurt says
"How do you know that?" Georgia asks
"Oh, would you look at that we are here," Kurt says as they finally pull into the medhall parking lot.
Georgia meanwhile finally thinks she's made it obvious enough. Now it is just get confirmed to not have a Corona Pollentia, and it's smooth sailing.
Georgia walks up to the door with Kurt humming The Final Solution by Sabaton, there are a few weird looks however no one seems to know what song it is.
'Say Captain did my phone come with us?' Georgia asks
"Hey?"
'Oh? It did! That's great! How can I come aboard and interact with it?' Georgia asks not paying attention to the bribe that just happened in front of her as they are walking to the MRI machine.
"Right Georgia?" Kurt suddenly asks
"What? Sorry spaced out." Georgia says
"We were talking about the second opinion since the last one came back with a faulty result," Kurt says
"Ah, that! Yeah, I'm hoping not to have 3 tumors." Georgia says
"Well since you were not paying attention earlier. Hello, I am Justin." Justin says introducing himself.
"Hallo," Georgia replies with a small wave.
"deutsch?" James asks a little shocked
"Ja, ein wenig," Georgia replies
"Glad to help a fellow German," James says with a smile
"On my grandmother's side," Georgia says technically not lying though with being a shipgirl she's 100% American now. With a specialty of delivering 18 inches of freedom in 1 and a half-ton shells.
James nods to himself motioning over toward the MRI machine.
"You don't have anything metal on you right?" James's asks
"I should be good?" Georgia answers
"Why is that a question?" James asks
"Cavities, though I'm fairly certain the filling isn't metal," Georgia says
"Got it! Just go ahead and lay down on the table then." James says
"This is off the record right?" Kurt asks
"Completely," James says
"Well let's get this over with then," Georgia says
The giant magnet begins to spin up.
================
In the car on the way back to the docks.
"So, how's it going co-worker?" Georgia asks
"Well, today is probably gonna be the second best day after my wedding, and only because Lacey would end me if it wasn't our wedding… I forgot to call Lacey!" Kurt shouts
"No phone calls while driving. You're going to have to wait till we get back to the docks," Georgia says.
"Right, Danny would yell my ear off if he found out," Kurt says.
"Huh? That's a story I'll wanna hear later. So, now that you've got a manager for tourism. I'll have to reach out to the Convention and Vistors Bureau. I mean your city already sees a bunch of darwin award winners who visit for the cape tourism. We could also probably interact with the PRT to have a ferry go out to the Rig and they could have tours of that," Georgia says
"That sounds like a plan. Do you have it all settled?" Kurt asks
"I'll work it out on a laptop. Is that the PRT offices?" Georgia asks
"Yeah?" Kurt says
"How about, you drop me off there, and I'll meet you back at the DWU?" Georgia says putting on a Navy Blue face mask and sunglasses. Her heterochromatic eyes are very distinct.
"Do, I wanna know where you got from?" Kurt asks
"Well, you see I honestly don't know," Georgia says as the car slows to a stop.
"Tell Danny, I'll be there for my first day on Monday," Georgia says stepping out of the car.
Once she's out she shouts "Thank you for the ride, random citizen, actually what's your name?!"
"It's Kurt," Kurt says with a smile playing along.
"Thank you, Kurt," Georgia says closing the car door and summons her rigging.
The watchers on the streets quickly start to pull out cameras as Georgia walks into the PRT office.
The poor receptionist bless her heart cause it nearly stopped when Georgia walked into the lobby.
"Hello, I am here for power testing," Georgia says
"Oh? Well shit,"
At that point however it was too late the panic button was already pressed.
"Panic button?" Georgia asks
The receptionist nods.
"Well, anyways while we are waiting for the cavalry to arrive, I am Battlewagon BB-70. Nice to meet you," Georgia says
Suddenly several doors burst open as PRT Troopers rush the room with riot shields and foam launchers.
Georgia puts her hands up and says "If you foam me I am going to be upset, that stuff would be impossible to get out of my turrets."
Several of the troopers suddenly get seem even more eager to foam her.
"Ah, I get it. I forgot to fire the salute before entering port you all think my guns are loaded," Georgia says in realization.
'Wait, why do I know that?' Georgia thinks
"You actually believe that?" Armsmasters asks incredulously.
"So, why don't we take this to an office? I can register as an affiliate and do powers testing, Or I could fill out the paperwork on the way to the power testing room. It's more efficient," Georgia says
Armsmaster nods.
"Console all clear, just a cape coming in for power testing," Armsmaster says into his helmet.
"I still don't trust medhall," Georgia says
"What's not to trust?" Kurt asks
"I can not tell you because of the unwritten rules. Does that answer your question?" Georgia asks
"Oh, well shit. You are positive you won't come up as a parahuman on the machine right?" Kurt asks
"90% certain I won't," Georgia asks
"You, don't have any family nearby you should be worried about right?" Kurt asks
"My nearest family member is a Great Great Great Grandmother over in Boston, actually my kid niece is also in Boston I think? I've also got a Cousin close by in Camden New Jersey, though if they go after her the black dragon is sure to surprise them." Georgia says trying not to giggle.
"That's a lot of greats… So your niece? If you don't mind me asking what's her name?" Kurt asks
"Cassin," Georgia says
Realization seems to dawn on Kurt before he decides to fish for information.
"Do you have a great-grandmother in Texas? I'm also gonna guess Cassin has a sister in Lousiana," Kurt says
"How do you know that?" Georgia asks
"Oh, would you look at that we are here," Kurt says as they finally pull into the medhall parking lot.
Georgia meanwhile finally thinks she's made it obvious enough. Now it is just get confirmed to not have a Corona Pollentia, and it's smooth sailing.
Georgia walks up to the door with Kurt humming The Final Solution by Sabaton, there are a few weird looks however no one seems to know what song it is.
'Say Captain did my phone come with us?' Georgia asks
"Hey?"
'Oh? It did! That's great! How can I come aboard and interact with it?' Georgia asks not paying attention to the bribe that just happened in front of her as they are walking to the MRI machine.
"Right Georgia?" Kurt suddenly asks
"What? Sorry spaced out." Georgia says
"We were talking about the second opinion since the last one came back with a faulty result," Kurt says
"Ah, that! Yeah, I'm hoping not to have 3 tumors." Georgia says
"Well since you were not paying attention earlier. Hello, I am Justin." Justin says introducing himself.
"Hallo," Georgia replies with a small wave.
"deutsch?" James asks a little shocked
"Ja, ein wenig," Georgia replies
"Glad to help a fellow German," James says with a smile
"On my grandmother's side," Georgia says technically not lying though with being a shipgirl she's 100% American now. With a specialty of delivering 18 inches of freedom in 1 and a half-ton shells.
James nods to himself motioning over toward the MRI machine.
"You don't have anything metal on you right?" James's asks
"I should be good?" Georgia answers
"Why is that a question?" James asks
"Cavities, though I'm fairly certain the filling isn't metal," Georgia says
"Got it! Just go ahead and lay down on the table then." James says
"This is off the record right?" Kurt asks
"Completely," James says
"Well let's get this over with then," Georgia says
The giant magnet begins to spin up.
================
In the car on the way back to the docks.
"So, how's it going co-worker?" Georgia asks
"Well, today is probably gonna be the second best day after my wedding, and only because Lacey would end me if it wasn't our wedding… I forgot to call Lacey!" Kurt shouts
"No phone calls while driving. You're going to have to wait till we get back to the docks," Georgia says.
"Right, Danny would yell my ear off if he found out," Kurt says.
"Huh? That's a story I'll wanna hear later. So, now that you've got a manager for tourism. I'll have to reach out to the Convention and Vistors Bureau. I mean your city already sees a bunch of darwin award winners who visit for the cape tourism. We could also probably interact with the PRT to have a ferry go out to the Rig and they could have tours of that," Georgia says
"That sounds like a plan. Do you have it all settled?" Kurt asks
"I'll work it out on a laptop. Is that the PRT offices?" Georgia asks
"Yeah?" Kurt says
"How about, you drop me off there, and I'll meet you back at the DWU?" Georgia says putting on a Navy Blue face mask and sunglasses. Her heterochromatic eyes are very distinct.
"Do, I wanna know where you got from?" Kurt asks
"Well, you see I honestly don't know," Georgia says as the car slows to a stop.
"Tell Danny, I'll be there for my first day on Monday," Georgia says stepping out of the car.
Once she's out she shouts "Thank you for the ride, random citizen, actually what's your name?!"
"It's Kurt," Kurt says with a smile playing along.
"Thank you, Kurt," Georgia says closing the car door and summons her rigging.
The watchers on the streets quickly start to pull out cameras as Georgia walks into the PRT office.
The poor receptionist bless her heart cause it nearly stopped when Georgia walked into the lobby.
"Hello, I am here for power testing," Georgia says
"Oh? Well shit,"
At that point however it was too late the panic button was already pressed.
"Panic button?" Georgia asks
The receptionist nods.
"Well, anyways while we are waiting for the cavalry to arrive, I am Battlewagon BB-70. Nice to meet you," Georgia says
Suddenly several doors burst open as PRT Troopers rush the room with riot shields and foam launchers.
Georgia puts her hands up and says "If you foam me I am going to be upset, that stuff would be impossible to get out of my turrets."
Several of the troopers suddenly get seem even more eager to foam her.
"Ah, I get it. I forgot to fire the salute before entering port you all think my guns are loaded," Georgia says in realization.
'Wait, why do I know that?' Georgia thinks
"You actually believe that?" Armsmasters asks incredulously.
"So, why don't we take this to an office? I can register as an affiliate and do powers testing, Or I could fill out the paperwork on the way to the power testing room. It's more efficient," Georgia says
Armsmaster nods.
"Console all clear, just a cape coming in for power testing," Armsmaster says into his helmet.

Power testing. Let me tell you those poor scientists had no idea they were about to run into a 61 thousand ton battleship. The strength test machine was a pile of scrap on the ground. The targets and the wall behind them had massive holes in them from the 20mm Oerlikon cannon.
"Just, how?"
Georgia shrugs in response.
"Say, Armsmaster? How would I go about reaching out to dragon to buy some 18-inch confoam shells? It would be nice to have a nonlethal option," Georgia says
Armsmaster is silent for a moment before looking at Georgia. "I'll pass you her email after the testing is done."
"Sounds good, So what are we texting next?" Georgia asks
"Top Speed seems like a good one." Says a scientist
38 miles an hour on foot.
"Could you run through walls?" Asks one of the testers
"I really wanna say I'm the juggernaut bitch however I'm a dreadnought. I also don't know if any of you have ever read the X-men." Georgia says out loud
"I'm just gonna put yes down."
"I mean if you want you could shoot at me? I doubt any conventional weapons could hurt me." Georgia says
Armsmaster just watched the entire situation spiral from there.
=============================
Later that day in
Emily was drinking coffee in her office. Just letting the silence set in.
"So, Is she the one who made the ship graveyard disappear?" Emily asks
"If the massive hole in the rig is anything to go by then possibly," Armsmaster says
"She signed on as an affiliate, I think we could probably make a move on Lung if we work with her," Armsmaster says
"Sounds interesting, why don't you tell me the ratings before I lose my mind," Piggot says
"I have some evidence about the graveyard theory thought… Right threat assessment," Armsmaster says
" She is a mover of roughly 3 capable of running at speeds up to 38 miles an hour. Brute 7 at a minimum, she broke the machine. That and she is impervious to small arms fire and took a 20mm round to the chest. It ricocheted," Armsmaster says
"Okay, I'll suspend my disbelief for later. Do continue," Piggot says.
" Tinker 4 or 5 shes shown in-depth knowledge of naval weaponry and I think that is her specialization. Blaster 9 her main weapons which she insists on calling naval cannons do roughly the damage of an 18" naval shell. She also has several 5" emplacements as well. That doesn't even include when she summoned a 20mm Oerlikon cannon into her arms. Then there is a tentative thinker 3 due to her ability to speak German, French, English, and Russian. I also believe she sandbagged it quite a bit because on her so-called rigging I was able to spot a miniaturized anti-air radar and a handful of other radar systems," Armsmaster says
"Well, I'm sure think tank will get us back results soon," Piggot says holding her coffee cup.
"She believes she is a United States Battleship. She even talked about her cousin the Black Dragon," Armsmaster says
"The USS New Jersey?" Piggot asks
"Yes, Dragon has been looking into it," Armsmaster says
"Why can't the powerful ones ever be normal. At least she doesn't believe she's the second coming of merlin." Piggot says with a sigh
"I don't think the United States Navy ever had a ship with 18inch cannons," Armsmaster says
"Well, why don't we get someone to bring her up here. She's to powerful to not join the protectorate." Piggot says
The phone on the table suddenly starts to ring.
"I swear to all that is holy, if that is Clockblocker calling to tell me he went on an enthusiastic walk he will have console duty for a year," Piggot says
Piggot picks up the phone before looking at Armsmaster.
"She left the rig and sailed out to sea," Piggot says
"So, mover 4 then?" Armsmaster asks dumfounded
"I want all members to try to give her the sale next time you see her. Did you get any contact info?" Piggot asks
"I gave her Dragon's email, so I should have her's soon," Armsmaster says
==================================
Georgia left the rig a while ago and found her way to Boston.
'Dodging port authority was fun, I wonder what the coast guard thought when a ship the size of an Iowa class battleship ended up on their radar. Then again shipgirls and physics never really get along. So who knows?'' Georgia thinks
After asking for directions she managed to get to the Boston Logan International Airport catching the first flight to LAX California. The time is around 6 PM
"I mean who would've thought with parahumans appearing in the 80s 9/11 never happened. There was minimal security and literally no ID checks. Oh well 8pm flight to LAX," Georgia mutters to herself.
'Say Captian?' Is there a way to get my phone out?' Georgia asks
"Hey!"
The android phone appears in her hand a second later.
'Thanks! I didn't know we could store stuff inside the hull.' Georgia says to her crew realizing she basically has a pocket dimension.
"Should've bought headphones…" Georgia says looking out the window.
"Here," Says a flight attendant handing Georgia headphones with a two-prong aux plug.
"Thank you," Georgia says with a smile.
Music
'I haven't eaten in a bit, how is the fuel doing?' Georgia asks
"Hey."
'Really? We have near full reserves because of the oil tanker I scrapped or cubified?' Georgia says
=====================
The flight went smoothly with no issues, though the headphones had to be given back after the flight. So she bought new ones at the Airport.
"I'm in LA I might as well stop by and see my cousin," Georgia says heading off towards where Iowa should be docked.
The road was packed LA seemed busy, yet in the distance, there was a loud crash.
"Really? Isn't this Alexandria's city? Crime in broad daylight?" Georgia says shocked before looking up.
"Not broad daylight? I think that's the moon? Is something giving me night vision?" Georgia says confused
A car suddenly comes screeching down the road. With a bunch of police cruisers behind it. Georgia does a quick check for cameras and observers.
"I don't exactly have training on what to do yet…" Georgia mutters doing a finger gun motion.
"Bang," Georgia says
Suddenly there is a loud pop as a hole the size of a fist punches into the front right panel of the car that's running. The front wheels suddenly lock up as the car skids to a stop.
The police quickly surround the car and Georgia continues towards the port of LA.
"Just, how?"
Georgia shrugs in response.
"Say, Armsmaster? How would I go about reaching out to dragon to buy some 18-inch confoam shells? It would be nice to have a nonlethal option," Georgia says

Georiga now aboard Iowa at 2 am.
"I don't think anyone would mind if I used one of the many crew bunking areas." Georgia mutters sleepily
She blinks and suddenly there is a woman with long blonde hair wearing a military uniform infornt of her.
"Who are you! You shouldn't be here the museum is closed."
"... Hello?" Georgia says looking at the girl in front of her.
"You can see me?" The girl says shocked
'No, it couldn't be… She's actually alive, does that mean all of the ships were. Poor Enterprise.' Georgia thinks
"Iowa? How are you cuz" Georiga says a little sheepishly
"Cousin? Wait… no? Who are you?"
"I am the USS Georiga, the only Iowa class battleship with 18in guns," Georgia says with a salute.
"Wouldn't that make you my little sister?" Iowa asks
"I was never built, just a what-if concept ship. Not to mention Montana's were to be next anyways." Georgia says with a shrug.
"So you are one of those parahumans then?" Iowa asks
"Technically, that's what humans think I am. Though what's wrong with a ship spirit coming to life?" Georgia asks
"Hmm, I guess you could stay here for tonight, I can't just kick my cousin out," Iowa says
"If you want, I could use my powers to get you back up to operational capacity," Georgia says
A lookout for the port authority watched as the WW2 battleship disappeared. A few seconds later it appears exactly where it was.
The lookout rubs his eyes.
"I've had too much to drink… I think I'm going back inside to watch the SG radar."
=====================
"Wow! I'm actually at operational again!" Iowa says
Georgia whistles.
"Those tomahawks and Phalanx are something else. It's gonna be a shame removing 4 5in guns to install them however it should be worth it," Georgia says
"Oh? You got the plans for them?" Iowa asks
"It's part of the powers. If I wanted to I have enough materials to build another Iowa class too." Georgia says with a smile.
"Can you bring them back? Can you bring Her back?" Iowa asks
"I don't really know, If I can I would need the plans. Maybe if I went and recovered Hornet's CV-8 however she died in battle. I don't know if any crew went down with here. I know her crew had to abandoned ship with the Japanese approaching. I don't want to disturb any graves." Georgia admits
Iowa nods.
"Well, I'm sure no one will mind if you use one of the crew bunks to rest like you were talking about earlier," Iowa says hugging Georgia.
"Thank you!" Georgia says with a smile.
"Also, how do I make sure I don't knock out my radar when I do a full broadside?" Georgia asks
Iowa looks at Georgia before laughing a little.
"You see the key is."
=======================
In a crew bunk, Georgia is looking at her phone.
Earlier when she was listening to music she missed the fact she has two different app stores. 1 from apps from her earth and one for ones from earth bet. The same goes for internet surfing apps.
"Might as well make a PHO account I've put it off long enough," Georgia says pulling up the website.
"Then I need to make like 2 alts one for the Brockton Bay Naval Museum and one for Me as Georgia." She muses.
Georgia's phone pings one more time.
"Oh it's from Dragon?" Georgia says
— — — —
Dear Georgia,
I would appreciate it if you don't charge a cross-country flight to my account.
The amount of stuff I had to go through to get this email was a pain.
Don't worry the email is secure, I want to talk the real question is how you figured out my identity. Then managed to convince Narwhal you were me I mean that takes some work.
I have this feeling we are a lot alike.
Dragon.
— — — —
"Well, looks like I'm going to have to contact the numberman… That means I'll need to bother Lisa, what was her PHO name again? They have a site like youtube right? If the timeline diverged in the 80s do they even have Eurobeat or Sabaton? I have 40 gigabytes of music that doesn't exist here. I don't wanna upload the music as my own… I'll do it to start out and the future revenue will go to a charity. I think most the artists who made the songs would hopefully appreciate that," Georgia says setting up her Tubeyou account which is owned by Richter Enterprises which is basically this world's google.
'I should also probably write an email back apologizing and give her my phone number.' Georgia thinks
===============
"Georgia you need to wake up," Iowa says waking up Georgia
"What?" Georgia says confused.
"Oh, Hi cuz," Georgia says
"The Curator is here and he is beyond confused. You need to go." Iowa says
Georgia nods "Lead the way then."
With Iowa leading the way the museum staff wasn't going to find her.
"I mean the entire ship is like it just came out of drydock. It has to be a parahuman."
"Yes, but it doesn't seem to have harmed her."
"I still think we should call the PRT. She's obviously still in the ship."
"Yet we haven't found her it's obvious Iowa doesn't want us to find her."
"There you go again, I mean I believe that the ship is alive too but not in that capacity."
=======================
"It was nice meeting another member of the family," Iowa says
"I plan on bringing back a few eventually," Georgia says
"Keep me updated I watch PHO when the curator is on it. You do not know how badly I want to be able to interact with the computer," Iowa says
"I'll tell New Jersey and Missouri you said hello when I meet them eventually. I may have missed the war but I'm not missing this, you know what's going on out there," Georgia says
"I wish I could help," Iowa says
"No, you enjoy your retirement. The last thing we need is the navy reactivating you then deciding you don't need to go back to being a museum," Georgia says hopping over the railing.
Iowa watches Georgia sail south towards.
"May you have fair winds and following seas, Georgia," Iowa says watching her sail off.
"I don't think anyone would mind if I used one of the many crew bunking areas." Georgia mutters sleepily
She blinks and suddenly there is a woman with long blonde hair wearing a military uniform infornt of her.

Dragon has finished talking with Colin and is in a rather good mood. Their endbringer tracking software is coming along nicely and she got to watch a cape do power testing. She is one powerhouse, I mean the quirk of thinking she is an actual battleship can be forgiven with that kind of power. That and her analysis programs keep showing that she is a battleship, so in general cape stuff.
Dragon walks into Narwhals office ready to tell her friend about the day.
"Hey, dragon! I did the thing you asked me to!" Narwhal says with a smile
"What?" Dragon asks confused.
"Yeah that call about 5 hours ago, I mean flying a friend from Boston to LAX for business reasons is fine I guess. I'm also happy you're making other friends." Narwhal says
"I didn't call you," Dragon says
"Theresa Richter she used your full name," Narwhal says
"What!" Dragon shouts
"Yeah, the phone call was recorded… I should probably pull that up." Narwhal says
"Hey! Aria I need a favor, I'm a bit busy with Colin at the moment, I have a friend who needs to get from Boston to Los Angeles. Could you book a flight for her for me?" A voice that sounds exactly like Dragon's says
"Who is this? I don't know this number" Narwhal asks
"Theresa Richter, come on Aria. You know me," She says
A few moments pass however nothing is said.
"It's me Dragon, but I need to do this as my civilian ID." the voice says again
"Couldn't you do this yourself really quickly?" Narwhal asks
"You, know I can only run one instance of myself at a time. I am stuck in a programming project with Colin we are so close to cracking it, just a few more months and we'll have a program that will tell us where the Endbringers will attack." The voice says
"Sure, I'll see what I can do? Whats her name?" Narwhal's voice says followed by several keyboard clicks
"Georgia Beryl, Thanks again Aria. I've got to get back to work." The voice says
"Tell her I got a flight on American Airlines, she should be able to pick up her ticket at the Airport. She'll need to leave some form of contact info with them though." Narwhal says
— — — — — — — —
"You got, got by a thinker. Well, it wasn't too expensive I'm more worried about the fact they knew our names." Dragon says checking the account charge.
"So, are you not too worried about this?" Aria asks
Dragon stands there silent for a second tracking the caller's number.
"She called from a pay phone at an airport in Boston. Okay, I need to go delete several phone records now. The name Georgia Beryl comes up with nothing." Dragon says in annoyance.
"I'll call the Airport and see what method of contact she left," Narwhal says
Dragon is silent for a minute this time.
"Don't bother I got it already, she left an email." Dragon says annoyed
"Did you just hack an Airport security system?" Narwhal asks
"No, I did all the legal paperwork for it," Dragon says
"Do we have jurisdiction there? I mean We are in Canada." Narwhal asks
"I got Colin to do it, it was just forwarding an email for him," Dragon says
"This entire situation is absurd," Narwhal says
"Yeah the odds of it happening make me wanna divide by zero," Dragon says trying to joke
"If anything your boyfriend is efficient," Narwhal says with a smirk
"Yea- Wait a second!" Dragon shouts.
"Right, so what did you do today then?" Narwhal asks
"Oh, well an interesting parahuman came in for power testing." Dragon says
=============================================
Down in Brockton Bay.
"Hey, Taylor I'm home," Danny says
Taylor hugs Danny.
"I was so scared. You went to see a cape and haven't been back all day." Taylor says
"Next time you meet them I'm coming!" Taylor says firmly
"She said she would be back Monday to finish on terms of employment and her first day," Danny says
"You hired a cape?" Taylor asks a little shocked
"It's a little more difficult than that. Now you how did you know I was going to talk to a cape?" Danny says
"I did a lot of thinking dad… I spent most of the day thinking you know. I originally didn't want to tell you because I knew it would hurt you but then you go and do dumb things like meet capes with no backup. Dad, I'm a cape. I triggered in the locker," Taylor says
"Oh Taylor…" Danny says hugging his daughter again.
"No wards?" Taylor asks
"You see the parahuman I met today pointed out how corrupt the PRT is. She seems trustworthy and I think when she gets back Monday you are going to be there for the talk." Danny says
"Thanks, Dad," Taylor says
"Right so what's for dinner?" Danny asks
"Mom's lasagna," Taylor says with a smirk.
Danny laughs before looking back at Taylor.
"We both know it's just lasagna, she didn't have any special recipe." Danny says with a smile.
"It's made with love that's what makes it special," Taylor says with a pout.
They both end up breaking into laughter again.
"So what're your powers?" Danny asks
"Promise not to be grossed out?" Taylor asks back
"Sure,"
A dozen wasps suddenly start flying in formation in the living room.
"Bug control?" Danny asks
"Yep!" Pretty cool right?
"So the cape you met tell me about her," Taylor says
"Well, to be honest, she has blue and yellow eyes," Danny admits
"You're joking," Taylor rebukes
"She did, according to Kurt she wore sunglasses however, I think those eyes will draw enough attention as is. The funnier thing is legally speaking she is not a cape." Danny says with a smile
"The PRT is gonna blow a gasket," Taylor says
"You know what a gasket is?" Danny asks
"No?" Taylor replies
"Right, I say it's time we eat dinner."
====================
Georgia walks onto the beach after having spent most of the day at sea.
"Well, that was a productive day, I need to thank Dragon for the list of all the ships sunk off the coast of California. I mean I even found a ship from the Taffy 3."
Georgia still eventually managed to make it to a shopping area at the beach.
"Right, how do I get back to Brockton bay…" Georgia murmurs
"How many times must I tell you old woman! Pay the protection money!!!"
Georgia looks up to see a very intimidating man shouting at an old woman who appeared to be running a shop.
'Well, a drive shouldn't take more than two days, if I drive like an average Floridan I bet I could get there in under 36 hours,' Georgia thinks with a smile as she taps on the man's shoulder.
2900 miles at 80-90mph would do that.
The guy immediately turns around his face glowing red in rage.
"Who are you Bitch! you should know not to mess with the elite! We ar"
Georgia just punched him before he could finish his monolog.
"Thank you."
"Yep! Glad I could help. Have a good night ma'am," Georgia says pocketing the thug's wallet and car keys.
"I wonder which car is his," Georgia asks aloud looking at the parking lot.
Dragon walks into Narwhals office ready to tell her friend about the day.
"Hey, dragon! I did the thing you asked me to!" Narwhal says with a smile
"What?" Dragon asks confused.
"Yeah that call about 5 hours ago, I mean flying a friend from Boston to LAX for business reasons is fine I guess. I'm also happy you're making other friends." Narwhal says
"I didn't call you," Dragon says
"Theresa Richter she used your full name," Narwhal says
"What!" Dragon shouts
"Yeah, the phone call was recorded… I should probably pull that up." Narwhal says
"Hey! Aria I need a favor, I'm a bit busy with Colin at the moment, I have a friend who needs to get from Boston to Los Angeles. Could you book a flight for her for me?" A voice that sounds exactly like Dragon's says

At some time last night, the boat graveyard disappeared.
A friend at the DWU confirmed that a cape is responsible.
A new hero maybe?

Yeah, of course, I mean I just repaired Iowa. Currently, I'm doing a favor for a friend out here on the west coast. She might reach out to you guys, though it'll probably be Boston that gets the call first.
Also, when I repair texas it's going to get its wooden deck back. That cement is horrible and we all know it.

Yes, go ahead and ruin the surprise.
Though I was looking it up and under salvage law, we would own the ships. Meaning the navy can not take them and scrap them. So we don't have to worry about an issue like the USS Oregon BB-3. Not to mention we need a light aircraft carrier museum especially after the failure that was USS Cabot.

The old Swayback and Independence of course. I wish we could get some others however it's a matter of location. We refuse to touch war graves as well. Not to mention I won't have my childhood friend sail out to bikini atoll to find the other ones. Though Nevada over by pearl is tempting.
Speaking of which do you know where any good tin cans are? I wanted USS Taylor but that was cannibalized for parts I also wanted the USS Barb but Italians sold it for scrap.
It's also tempting to get the USS Prinz Eugen just to spite the nazi's here. After all, it's a reminder that they lost and how the nazi scum abandoned their navy.

♦ Topic: Villain High Speed Stopped
In: Boards ► Places ► America ►Los Angeles
Posted On Feb 19th 2011:
At 12:30 tonight, the villain high speed was suddenly caught by police.
For the first time the ultimate get away driver was caught.
Upon investigation it was clear to see what stopped the car. A bullet through the front which ended up going through the engine block, stoping in the gearbox.
It is believed a new hero stopped them, however nothing is known about that yet.

Well, thank's for the confirmation. If you don't mind us asking what weapon did you use? The guys down at ballistics are telling us its an old-fashioned 20mm armor-penetrating round. Which apparently means it's pure tungsten or something.
I am personally going for some kind of tinkertech.

So, I don't know who did it. Some cape broke into the museum overnight and repaired the entire thing.
No leaks and no rust. The paint has been reapplied it is almost like it just got back from drydock.
If we wanted to we could probably set sail, the navy is sending down some engineers to mothball the boilers again. They, are also checking a few other things so sadly we won't be open to the public this week.
The museum equipment is still on here luckily and nothing is truly missing, it gave us all a shock.

I don't think you are. I mean I didn't even know they had social media.
I guess the new cape is navy-themed It should be interesting to watch what she gets up to.

So, I just got home after being saved by a cape earlier tonight.
The cape after knocking out the thug that was about to beat me stole his car.
She was really polite to me and everything.
I mean it's great being saved but now I'm Just confused.

February 21st, 2011
11 am DWU HQ
A red Pontiac GTO pulls into the DWU parking lot. Like many of the cars in Brockton Bay, it's missing a license plate.
"Almost wasn't expecting you to show up." A DWU guard says
"Almost got stranded in LA. Luckily I got this baby now." Georgia says hitting the roof of the recently acquired Pontiac.
"Boss is expecting you in his office."
"Thanks!" Georgia replies
The shipgirl heads straight there.
"Hey!"
'Really? Half fuel already?' Georgia says to her crew in shock.
"Hello Georgia, we were waiting for you," Danny says
Over by the desk is the DWU lawyer and Taylor.
"Yeah, my bad. I forgot to include time zones in my travel time. I might've made it earlier if I drove even faster though I was already going at unreasonable speeds." Georgia replies
"So you were actually in LA?" Taylor asks skeptically.
"Yep, saw my cousin. Did some stuff got a nice car. Shouldn't you be in school?" Georgia says
"Yeah, she's not going there while I have anything to say about it," Danny says
"Good call… so, have you figured out that Sophia Hess is shadow stalker?" Georgia asks to throw them off.
"That utter bitch! That explains so much!" Taylor shouts in rage.
"That was a crime you know?" Lewis asks
"Now I do, however, I don't think any of you are going to snitch. Especially not to the PRT," Georgia says
Danny was quiet that whole time.
"That's a good distraction. Which we will talk about later. right now, I want to focus on the terms of your employment and your plan. I saw the PHO account," Danny says motioning for Georgia to sit down.
"I went to California to grab USS Salt Lake City and USS Independence. I also ended up grabbing quite a few more like the John C Butler, and Archerfish." Georgia says
"How many ships did you grab, we do not have an endless amount of room here. Especially since we want to start accepting shipping again," Danny says.
"The original plan I have typed out was for no more than 4 ships," Georgia says
"You're sticking to that plan?" Danny asks
"Maybe 5? If I can get my hands on a battleship or if I can resurrect the Enterprise. Which doesn't seem likely cause it was sold for scrap," Georgia says
Danny nods slowly.
"I mean with the reduction in international shipping, I do not believe you are going to use the entire port. Especially with New York and Boston relatively close by," Georgia says
"We have space over by the old shipways," Lewis says
"The someone that built several of the Fletcher class?" Georgia asks ideas already going through her head.
Danny nods.
"Is the drydock still operational or?" Georgia asks
"Sadly no, the infrastructure on it failed a little under a decade ago. They are over there though." Danny says
"They?" Georgia reiterates
"There are two drydocks over there. Though the merchants messed up all the electronics for the watertight gates. The pumps don't work and the concrete is weathering with leaks appearing from underground water sources," Danny says
"I'll make it work eventually. So you plan on writing off the drydocks to the museum?" Georgia asks
"The Museum? You work for the dock workers. We expect you to help us with PR and advertising since we are bringing the Ferry back." Lewis says
"How about a competition? Whichever shipping company delivers the most goods to you guys in tonnage gets 5 Panamax freighters free? AlthoughI I want some business credit with the DWU for that."
Georgia asks
"You could supply 5 freighters like that?" Taylor asks
"Easily, where do you think the ship graveyard went?" Georgia asks rhetorically
Danny thinks for a bit before nodding.
"We can do that 100 million dollars in credit? We want to sell one then use 3 for the competition," Danny says sliding a stack of paper over to Georgia
Everyone knows that was a massive lowball. With how much Panamax freighters went for price-wise roughly worth 75 million a piece. Yet considering it costs Georgia nothing do you really think she cares?
"Sure, that should be more than enough to get me started. Finally my contract. Give me a few minutes to read it," Georgia says starting to flip through it.
One hour later.
"Overall I have no issue with it," Georgia says holding the pen.
"Your concerns?" Lewis asks
"Not really, just slightly insulted. You think I won't pay for work from the DWU since I'm a nonprofit working under them?" Georgia asks
"Non-profit?" Taylor asks
"Yes, well kinda? All the paperwork is in the mail. Brockton Bay Naval Museum will be a nonprofit LLC. Which I founded, I will work for the DWU," Georgia says
"You managed to sum that up well. As part of the contract, you got leased land at a reasonable price. You promised to put the DWU first when you are searching to employ skilled and non-skilled laborers." Lewis says
"Except for essential staff and volunteers, or if the DWU doesn't have the skills needed for the job," Georgia says signing the contract.
"Welcome aboard," Danny says
"Glad to be here boss," Georgia says in the most mob-like way she possibly could.
Danny just sighs while his daughter giggles a bit.
"So, I need to go and start fundraising money," Georgia says
"You got a plan?" Danny asks
"You gave me a much bigger area than I asked for, I could probably fit 7 or 8 ships in there. Since my powers allow me to repair them nearly instantly too. Maintenance won't be an issue. I plan on listing all the ships I could put in those spots. Put a donation link next to each ship. Whichever gets the most money gets displayed here," Georgia says
"That seems like an okay idea," Danny says
"I also need to go see the mayor," Georgia murums
"Today?" Danny asks
"Yes, is there anything you need me to get done as of this moment?" Georgia asks
"If you are going to visit Mayor Christner. I have some paperwork I need him to sign," Danny says
"Sure, I can take it down to him. Also, could you have some DWU engineers check out the structural integrity of the old shipway? I want to know what it would look like in terms of resources, manpower, and cost to convert it to a convention center/ballroom." Georgia says
"I'll get some of our best on it," Danny says smiling
"I need to use that 100 million credit somehow," Georgia says

In mayor Christner's office.
"Roy… she hasn't left yet,"
"You're kidding right?" Roy asks peeking out of the door.
That woman had been here the entire day just sitting in the lobby.
"What does she want?" Roy asks
"To speak with you. Though she's obviously a cape with her eyes like that. I mean who has blue and yellow eyes,"
"Okay, I'm going to give someone a call. Give it 30 minutes then send her in." Roy Christner says
The secretary nods before going back out into the lobby to talk to the cape.
Roy picks up the phone on his desk dialing a number.
"Hey, Rory. I need you here at the office. Something came up cape business," Roy says
"Yeah, don't panic nothing big has happened yet. She's holding a stack of paperwork and has been waiting most of the day," Roy says
"No no, I just want you here just in case… Right thanks son," Roy says putting the phone back on its dock.
=================
Georgia meanwhile has been waiting in the town hall for most of the day. Fiddling about with her smartphone.
"Number man was easier to contact than I thought, That and the channel Earth Arche on Tubeyou is a massive hit… Like I feel bad but this world doesn't have sabaton or Eurobeat. I mean I am glad I can share it with them all. It's almost like not having the beetles." Georgia says to herself
"I mean Switzerland was hit hard by Simurgh, who even knows if this world's version of the band is still alive…" Georgia says sadly
"Hey!"
'WHAT!' Georgia shouts at her crew straining to not shout out loud
"Hey…"
'What do you mean we have nuclear shell plans!' Georgia says in shock
"Hey!"
'My guns are 18inch, not 16inch! Those won't work to mention it's not like I can just go and get fissile material.' Georgia tells her crew.
"Hey!"
'Oh? You are telling me there are enough nuclear engineers on board to safely modify the plans?' Georgia asks rhetorically
"Hey"
She goes silent not expecting a yes.
The conversation was about to go into full-back and forth when suddenly the phone at the receptionist's desk rings.
The woman at the desk picks it up before looking over at Georgia.
"The Mayor is ready to see you. Next time please do schedule an appointment,"
"Right, thank you for fitting me in last minute like this," Georgia says walking into the office.
"Miss a Beryl, I am Roy Christner it is a pleasure to meet you. So what is the purpose of our meeting today?" Roy asks
"Right, so. I wanted to meet you to discuss some stuff both business and personal. Then, Danny Hebert, my boss gave me some paperwork to give you," Georgia says setting the paperwork down on the desk.
"Personal?" Rory asks
"Oh? Hi, Triumph I didn't see you there. So for the personal one. Your niece triggered, and with all the hospital visits for her headache's she's caught the eye of a dangerous thinker." Georgia says
"Go! I'll be fine." Roy says looking at his son who immediately leaves to go check on his cousin.
"Okay… well thank you for that. Now the business?" Roy asks
"I wanted to introduce myself, I am Georgia Beryl. Founder of the Brockton Bay Naval Museum nonprofit. Although we are still preparing the area for the ships. I wanted to get this meeting out of the way," Georgia says
"You mentioned that Mr. Hebert was your boss?" Roy asks
"Yes, they hired me considering my expertise in advertisement and customer service. Along with my skill in ship repair and restoration," Georgia says with a smile.
"We are getting a museum? I mean the last one was robbed way back when marquis was fighting off the teeth. It would be nice to have an area for tourists besides the boardwalk." Roy says
"Yes, I already have 4 ships lined up for it I could also probably fit in 3 more. I plan on turning the old naval yard into something that could rival the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum," Georgia says with a smile.
Roy looks at the woman in front of him skeptically.
"The one in Virginia, not the one in the capital," Georgia says with a smile
"That is going to be a massive undertaking you know," Roy says
"I'll make it work. If the gangs do something I'll hit them with my Georgia beam," Georgia says with a bright smile.
"Right, well you have my blessing with this."
"Really! Okay, I can't wait till I can hold the opening banquet. I will get back to you in about 2 months." Georgia says holding out her hand.
"2 months? You aren't here to see if you can get money from the city?" Roy asks
"Ah, you know the Earth Arche tubeyou channel? That's me, so money isn't exactly tight, not to mention I have a cape helping me and she can restore ships by basically touching them." Georgia admits.
"That's all you came here for?" Roy asks
"Was your niece not that important?" Georgia asks
"That is not what I said and you know it!" Roy shouts having forgotten about that part with the amount of information that Georgia just gave him.
"Do you have the contact info for the convention and visitors bureau while I'm here?" Georgia asks
"Yeah, it's actually part of my administration since it hasn't split off from the town hall like the ones in the bigger cities," Roy says pulling out a business card.
"Who runs it?" Georgia asks taking the card.
"Jasmine Higgins, she actually moved from Lousiana after New Orleans flooded," Roy Christner says
'I need to research leviathan's damage later. I am a little scared to look it up though,' Georgia thinks
"I think we'll be great friends," Georgia says with a smile
"I should get home. Rory already should be there with my niece," Roy says
"You do that, honestly I wouldn't have blamed ya if you left when I told you about her. Family always comes first in my book," Georgia says
===================
Georgia sitting in her car in the parking lot by town hall very quickly searches for information on Florida.
"Miami is underwater? No, that can't be right, Clearwater washed away…" Georgia mutters horrified.
August 2005 Leviathan took a path through the Gulf of Mexico to hit Panama The tsunamis he caused paralyzed several cities flooding several parts of all the Gulf coast states. It was the first time since Behemoth appeared that an end bringer attacked twice in a row. Panama is still partially underwater with the Panama canal permanently destroyed.
"That date… It matches Hurricane Katrina, did they not have the hurricane here?" Georgia mutters
Georgia throws her phone onto the passenger seat not wanting to see anymore. Looking at all the disasters photos just reminds Georgia of the super hurricanes of the 2050s.
"Right, let's go do something to distract myself… Don't think about home, home is okay. This Florida isn't home," Georgia says starting the car.
Georgia puts her shaking hands on the wheels and gear shifter. Putting the car into first she drives off in the direction of the Board Walk.
"Roy… she hasn't left yet,"
"You're kidding right?" Roy asks peeking out of the door.
That woman had been here the entire day just sitting in the lobby.
"What does she want?" Roy asks
"To speak with you. Though she's obviously a cape with her eyes like that. I mean who has blue and yellow eyes,"

The boardwalk was honestly less busy than one would think. Especially from reading the source material.
"I wonder if Parian actually has a shop?" Georgia asks herself.
"God I hate clothes shopping. Maybe if I trick myself into believing I'm searching for Parian I might be able to put up with it." Georgia says looking at all the shops.
"Eenie meenie miney this one," Georgia says walking into a random shop.
"Hello, how may I help you?" A person says almost immediately upon walking in.
Georgia stares at the young college-age woman who matches the description of the cape out of costume to the T.
"Give me a second to process my luck and I'll get back to you," Georgia says
"What?"
"Right! So I have an issue. I am a brute… that sounded wrong. I am a parahuman with super strength, the clothes I have now are the only ones that don't rip and tear when I move. Would you be able to help me?" Georgia asks
However halfway through her declaration, the sign was already flipped to close and several pieces of cloth and string were beginning to float in the air.
"How did you find me?" Sabah asks
"Luck? Literally pure luck. If it wasn't for the fact I'm at least partially related to Enterprise I wouldn't believe it myself." Georgia says
The state down Georgia is getting would wither away at her if she wasn't made of steel.
"Here allow me to demonstrate. Siri flip a coin," Georgia says
"Okay flipping a coin," Siri responds
"Side." Georgia states
"So, you're not going to believe this but it landed on its side," Siri responds
Sabah is now even more confused. Georgia is also confused because she has an android, not an apple.
"Who is Siri?" Sabah asks
"Oh, it's a virtual assistant on a phone from earth Alph," Georgia says
"You're from earth Alph?" Sabah asks
"Nope I'm not," Georgia says
Sabah goes back to staring at the girl in front of her.
"You're trying to confuse me."
"Maybe? I mean putting people off-center makes negotiations easier," Georgia admits
"Why are you here?"
"To shop for clothes?" Georgia asks
"... wait you are saying because of your power all of your clothes must be specially made?" Sabah asks
"Yes, thats why I was hoping to find you," Georgia says with a smile
"It's gonna cost money," Sabah says
"I have enough of that. So could we maybe use kevlar I am hoping it would be strong enough," Georgia says
"How bad could it be?" Sabah asks
Georgia giggles " Have you ever accidentally crushed a doorknob?"
"I'm guessing clothes aren't much better?" Sabah asks
Georgia makes a so-so gesture.
"Fine, I'll help. What's your power anyways?" Sabah asks
"You heard of that new hero who made the ship graveyard go poof? That's me," Georgia says smiling
"That, well thank you for that. Believe it or not my property's value went up when those ships disappeared," Sabah says
"Hey!"
'I just need to eat nuclear material now to get a sample is what your saying? And just where am I supposed to get uranium?' Georgia asks her crew.
"You there miss?" Sabah asks
"Oh right, I'm Georgia." Georgia says introducing herself
"Sabah,"
"Come out Parian! I know you're in there!" Is shouted from outside.
"Is that hook wolf?" Sabah asks
"I'll take care of it." Georgia says walking over to the door.
Sabah watches in stunned silence as Georgia walks over to the door and opens it. "geh homw du nasser Hund!" Is shouted which confuses her even more.
"I don't speak German!" Is suddenly shouted back from outside.
"Have one of your Lakeys tell you then!" Georgia shouts closing the door.
"You're German?" Sabah asks almost glaring.
"Hey, my great grandparents didn't flee their birth country when those freaks took over just so you could glare at me." Georgia says
"You're Jewish?" Sabah asks
"Maybe? We aren't entirely sure? How that happened we don't know either however, all those who could answer the question are kinda dead. Searching for the old family name comes up as German-Jewish. Yet somehow that makes it more confusing," Georgia says
"Huh, well that's certainly odd. How is it more confusing?" Sabah says
Georgia hits her head against the wall putting a small hole in it.
"Sorry, about that. So more confusing? Looking at the historical record there is no proof of them immigrating. Rather it's more likely that my family has been in the country since the civil war at the very least. Yet grandma they seemed pretty serious about the time frame in which the family moved here," Georgia says
'Considering I am no longer who I used to be youve got no clue,' Georgia thinks
"That's, yeah. I can see why it's confusing." Sabah says
"So clothes?" Georgia asks
Suddenly the shop's door bursts open.
"I said get out here!" Hookwolf shouts looking around the shop.
"Really Brad? I mean when they talked about your level of intelligence I thought they were lowballing it. I guess they weren't," Georgia says aloud facepalming.
"Who the fuck are you!" Hookwolf shouts
Georgia gasps "Me?" Her hand is over her chest in shock.
"Yeah! Who are you!"
"Fine then mister grand wizard. I am a 60thousand-ton and change battleship whose sole purpose was to protect the United States. I am a symbol of this country's naval dominance. I was built to sink the ships of the Kriegs Marine and the Empire of Japan. Who am I? I'll tell you, you half-witted fake nazi! I am your worst nightmare!" Georgia shouts
"That doesn't make any sense?" Sabah mutters
Suddenly there is a glow behind Georgia as her rigging appears.
"What the fuck! You're a cape!" Hookwolf shouts
"Try not to die okay? I'm gonna go a little easy so you shouldn't be turned into a bloody mist." Georgia says with a cute smile.
Hookwolf transforms into a panic seeing the Naval guns pointed his way.
That's when a single 40mm opened fire letting out one round.
After the ringing stopped in the shop. Sabah looked at Hookwolf and noticed a steel leg was bleeding red blood.
"Wow, you got lucky it overpenned. Give me a second let me try my five inchers." Georgia says with a smile that must've been faked.
Hookwolf went back to human form and ran. He was limping horribly as he made decent speed.
"You made him bleed," Sabah says
"I don't think he finished his transformation, then again at this range. It's a roll of the dice if a 40mm could pen 3inches of steel or not. At an angle like that, it could've ricocheted. Luckily I like to cheat," Georgia says
"Cheat?" Sabah asks
Georgia walks over and pulls the really hot projectile out of the ground. Before rolling it around in her hand.
"It's armor penetrating. Tungsten carbide meant to take out tanks and damage warships." Georgia says
"Is it nato approved?" Sabah asks as a joke
Georgia laughs a little. "Nope!"

Inside the main office at the DWU Danny is looking over a massive stack of paperwork while talking with a very happy Lewis. Taylor is also there and seems to be thinking seriously.
Georgia knocks on the door before walking in. "So how does it look, Danny?"
Danny looks up knowing exactly what Georgia is talking about. "Structurally it's alright? A few of the catwalks need to be replaced. I would also recommend redoing the ceiling."
"Am currently wondering how far my powers extend beyond ships, Like could I use it for naval bases? Or is it just for ships?" Georgia asks in wonder.
"That would be interesting to find out," Danny says
"Won't steal work from the union I know. Though if I can secure the building and replace and fix the old supports and pretty it up. Could I rely on you all for the electronics and interior? I also want it built to Florida building code," Georgia says
"That is unnecessary, and you know it," Danny says
"Tempered glass windows, Ties to hold the ceiling down so it doesn't blow off. Walls are able to resist wind of up to 110 miles per hour. Oh and heat-resistant roofing tile." Georgia says
"You want to fortify it?" Danny asks
"Bingo, and since it'll be a naval museum it wouldn't be off for it to look like one. Though I want you all to avoid fortress construction like its a plague," Georgia says
"Cape stuff?" Danny asks
Georgia just nods in confirmation.
"Fine you go check it out, I'll send the boys to get started," Danny says
"Also, you and Taylor? How is that?" Georgia asks
"I don't understand how that's relevant to you?" Danny says
"Hey! I'm right here," Taylor says
"Boss, you're my boss. You are aware of this right? I mean if you wanted someone who's a powerhouse to watch over her or just to be nearby in case she gets into trouble. I would be happy to help," Georgia says
"I don't have any plans on patroling," Taylor says
"Taylor you're worrying me. You've told me nothing at all and you've been being bullied since you started high school. Luckily Lewis is more than happy to take a shot at the PRT. Speaking of which Georgia doesn't happen to have any more damming info do you?" Danny asks
Taylor stops talking knowing her dad is right.
"Kinda? It's just speculation. I mean it's circumstantial at best. I don't know if you would even be able to present it in a jury trial. I mean maybe if it's phrased correctly?" Georgia says
"Coil's mercenaries are a bunch of retired police and Protectorate workers. None of the ward's costumes are bulletproof let alone resistant. Rachel Lindt had several false charges thrown on her by the PRT. That along with her being autistic I don't know if her name will ever be cleared. Hmm, what else? Ah right the youth guard is corrupt and doesn't really care about the children's safety," Georgia says finishing her speech.
"You really dislike them Huh?" Danny says
"Well considering what one of their wards did to Taylor," Georgia says
Lewis nods writing everything down. "This is going to be a challenge but a fun one."
"Yep, now I've got to check the old shipways," Georgia says
======================
Georgia is standing before rusting old scaffolding. There is no roof and no walls.
"Well, let's give it a try." Georgia says touching the scaffolding.
"Hmm kinda?" Georgia says confused before putting her hands on the ground.
"You need to construct more pylons… you've got to be kidding me," Georgia says giggling.
"I need more resources, well let's fix what I can and leave the rest to the dock workers," Georgia mutters as several cracks in the concrete begin to close and the rust on the support structures begin to disappear.
"So, we need to floor over the middle one to have ample area then the left and right ones need to be restored. A ceiling will need to be built as well. You getting this?" Georgia asks
Several of the dock workers had shown up to watch about 70 of the naval yard repair itself. Including the dry dock.
"Loud and clear, also you do know this is mostly as thanks for getting rid of the graveyard and tanker," Kurt says
"I would've done that anyways you guys know. I mean I am just trying to bring a touch of southern hospitality to this cold broken place." Georgia says with a smile.
"Where you from anyways?" Lacy asks
"Florida," Georgia says
Several of the dockyard workers wince. After all that state is basically dead with leviathan. The nice beaches lay abandoned, Miami was underwater along with parts of Jacksonville. Clearwater had washed away. FEMA actually died trying to help the gulf coast. When the leviathan hit Panama it paralyzed the economy down there.
"How's Lewis doing?" Georgia asks
"Happy, extremely happy. Did you have anything to do with it?" Kurt asks
"So, you know how you can't technically sue the government? Turns out the PRT is not actually included in that little tidbit of the law. So he is going to have a fun day bringing down the local school administration and PRT for gross negligence of duty. It will be one I bring the popcorn out for," Georgia says smiling
"Oh? That explains why Danny just blacklisted the entire school district from union work. Not to mention our partnership with other unions. They aint gonna get any work done," Kurt says smiling.
"Yep, so while you all do this. I need to take a road trip. I managed to get some appointments to stop at a place in Boston along with New Jersey. If anything happens I shouldn't be more than 2 hours out," Georgia says
"You are leaving again?" Kurt asks
"Yes, since we aren't open yet and Danny is busy with what I am assuming is a lawsuit. I plan on getting some more prework done before I'm required to stay here most of the time," Georgia says
Georgia knocks on the door before walking in. "So how does it look, Danny?"
Danny looks up knowing exactly what Georgia is talking about. "Structurally it's alright? A few of the catwalks need to be replaced. I would also recommend redoing the ceiling."

Emily was not having a good day. Not only had her dialysis machine broken. Her lawyers were in a panic, all the unions in Brockton had black-listed the PRT. Then there was the stack of papers in front of her notifying her of a lawsuit.
"Someone get me Armsmaster. And have Assault restrain shadow stalker. I need to call the chief director," Piggot states blandly.
Several people run out of the office in a panic.
===============
Georgia meanwhile is driving down the highway to Boston.
"This battlefield's been chosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters, we're soon in range
Midway
We'll meet at Midway
Naval war
Calling all men to deck, got to be airborne
Head out into the sun, descending on our foes
This is the crucial moment, in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets, down in the waves"
The ship girl singing along to sabaton going well over 100mph down the highway isn't to be questioned.
"Far from shore, a pacific war"
That's when the song stops as her phone begins to ring.
"Yello" Georgia says
The red Pontiac is beginning to slow down as city traffic is beginning to pick up.
"Hey! Is this BB-70?" The voice says
"Dragon? How'd you get my number?" Georgia says in a happy customer service voice
"You know-how," Dragon says
"Really? Cause I mean I guess information security on the phone is a bit bad. The only thing I've got going for it is it's unrecognizable OS and software," Georgia says
"It's actually pretty good. Not tinker tech level but good," Dragon says
"Futuristic right? I mean did you see the virtual assistant on there? It could almost fool a Turing test," Georgia says with a smile.
==========================
Armsmaster is in his lab.
"Colin are you sure she's the reason for the lawsuit? I mean the phone tracking is putting her in Boston," Dragon says
"She has to be. I am just worried about how she is getting her information," Colin says
Suddenly there is a knock on the door to the workshop.
"You should probably answer that," Dragon says
Armsmaster presses a button on his desk which opens the blast door.
"Armsmaster the director needs to see you," A PRT worker says, obviously out of breath.
Armsmaster nods before making his way to the director's office.
As he reaches outside the door yelling can be heard.
"No! Absolutely not! I told you I told all of you this would happen! But no! You went over my head!" Piggot is shouting into the phone.
"I don't care! Do it yourself if you think you can do anything! They have us dead to rights!" Piggot shouts before there is the sound of glass shattering.
Armsmaster knocks on the door before walking in. Catching the broken cellphone and the hole in the wall did surprise him.
"So Colin, we have a problem," Piggot says smiling.
It was a rather scary smile.
====================
A portal suddenly opens in Cauldron headquarters.
"Contessa! I need a path to stop the lawsuit against the PRT!" Rebecca shouts
"Step 1 attempt to kill Georgia Beryl… Step 2… there is no step 2?" Contessa says confused
"What?" Rebecca asks confused
"The path to saving humanity would also stop?" Contessa says unsure of herself.
"I thought your path to victory was?" Rebecca says slightly worried.
"My passenger just seems to be saying, "Is ship yes?"" Contessa says even more confused
"Gate to Georgia Beryl" Rebecca says stepping through the gate.
===================
Georgia is pulling onto the exit in Boston having made great time.
"Woooaaaahhh! were half way there!" Georgia sings as the Pontiac suddenly hit something before rolling over it and continuing down the off-ramp.
"Woah? What was that? I mean did they put a speed bump in the middle of the highway. I'm not in Rhode Island so it shouldn't have been a large pothole?" Georgia says confused continuing on anyways.
====================
She makes it a few more miles before the Pontiac dies from damage taken in by the "speed bump".
"Okay? Maybe it wasn't a speed bump." Georgia says looking at the check engine and low oil light on the dash.
Georgia gets out to go check the damage on the car. Or that's what she would be doing if a speeding white van didn't hit her going 60.
Onlookers got to watch in wonder as the van sideswiped the Pontiac before wrapping around the couple thousand-ton battleship.
"Ow! You bitch that stung." Georgia says out loud.
In truth, it didn't but throwing around false positives to confuse thinkers was a fun pastime.
The driver and passenger of the van were unconscious wearing ski masks. The airbags had deployed and the van was a total loss.
"Did these kids just rob a bank or something?" Georgia asks sliding open the side door.
Strewn across the floor were bits and pieces of electronics, scrap metal, and the armored stern plate of the USS Enterprise.
"Wow… well that's one less stop I have to make. You really aren't enjoying retirement are you?" Georgia asks aloud rhetorically.
"No, no I'm not." Says a voice
Georgia turns around upon hearing that voice.
"Someone get me Armsmaster. And have Assault restrain shadow stalker. I need to call the chief director," Piggot states blandly.

Thomas Calvert was having another thinker headache. His powers had started to do that recently after Thomas met a cape who called herself BB-70.
==================
Try 1
At the PRT power testing room.
"Stand clear! I'm doing a full barrage!" Is shouted by the cape.
That's where the timeline ended.
===============
Try 2
Coil is in his base listening to his mercenaries over the phone. They decided to attack the dock workers Union to abduct her.
"Sir we're trying but she's shooting back! We're taking heavy casualties!"
There is a loud bang before the phone goes silent.
"Damn it." Coil says ending the timeline.
==================
Try 8
When Georgia was at the boardwalk.
"Hello Georgia, I am Thomas Calvert. I work for the PRT." Thomas says trying to introduce himself.
"You broke the Unwritten rules, I am going to sink the rig after I kill you," Georgia says
All he sees is a fist coming toward him as the timeline ends.
=================
Try 9
"GEORGIA BEAAAAMMMMMM!" Is heard over the radio as Thomas' body double dies.
He sighs as he ends the timeline.
===================
Try 10.
Maybe if he approached her in a crowded mall she couldn't shoot because of the civilians.
"Hello." Is all Thomas manages to say before
"GEORGIA BEAAAAMMMMMM!!!!"
Coil's head hit his desk as the Timeline ended again.
"Got it, don't go after Georgia… how about Danny or Taylor Hebert?" Thomas says
==================
Try 12.
"Sir! We've managed to kidnap Taylor Herbert like you asked." Is said over a phone
"That's great. Just get her to my base." Coil says back
12 separate timelines. It took 12 goes to get just this far.
Suddenly there is screaming over the phone followed by gun shots.
"Captian! What is happening!?" Coil shouts
"Bugs! There's lots of bugs!" That's when the line went silent.
"What the fuck?" Coil asks confused ending the timeline.
============
Try 15
"Sir! We got the girl! I don't understand why you have us killing Miss Hebert. However it…"
The end bringer shelter shakes as the bunker partially collapses.
Coil checks the cameras that view outside to see that they aren't working.
"You fucked up Thomas," Contessa says
That's the last thing Coil heard before the timeline ended.
=================
Try 20
"Taylor is protected by fucking cauldron are you kidding me!" Coil shouts throwing a glass across the room
There is a crashing sound as it breaks scattering pieces across the ground.
"Maybe Tattletale has something for me." Coil asks himself.
===============
Tattletale is currently hiding under a blanket trying to sleep off her thinker headache. When her phone rings.
"Hey, boss man?" Tattletale says
"Do you have anything on the new cape I sent you info on?"
"Is battleship, YES!" Tattletale responds
"That's it?" Coil asks
"There's also GEORGIA BEAM!!!" Tattletale says rubbing her temples trying to nurse her headache.
There is no sound over the phone however that statement causes coil to flinch.
"Where are you at?" Coil asks
"I had to get out of the bay for a bit. I am in Boston," Tattletale says
"I'm working on a plan to get rid of her so. Don't stay gone too long or I'll find you," Coil says threateningly.
"Sure thing boss," Tattletale says hanging up on the supervillain.
"I'm obviously not gonna sleep. Is there anything to do here in Boston? I should go check the tourist brochures in the lobby," Tattletale says getting out of bed.
The display stand had a bunch of brochures for a bunch of different places.
"USS Cassin Young? USS Constitution museum?" Lisa says picking up the brochure.
"Maybe I could learn more about battleships?" Lisa says to herself having decided on where to go.

Georgia had taken the stern plate and made full ahead to anywhere she wouldn't be observed.
"Well, thank you for getting me away from those lunatics. Wanted to use me for power armor or something." Enterprise says
"Give me a minute I'm almost away and hidden," Georgia says walking into a hotel lobby
"So, you look familiar. Almost like New Jersey," Enterprise says musing to herself.
"Like I said give me a minute," Georgia responds holding the Stern plate walking into an empty ballroom.
"Wait you can hear me? You looked at me earlier can you see me?" Enterprise asks in shock
The massive ballroom was void of anyone and was barely lit by the light coming in from the windows.
"Of course I can, there's a reason I look like my cousin after all," Georgia says with a smile.
"… Wait what? You're not a Montana class maybe? Then again I've heard they've stopped making battleships. Then Carrier's days are numbered as well. Especially with those para things running around." Enterprise says
"The United States won't ever get rid of the navy you know? I mean not even that many parahumans are bulletproof. Even for the ones that are its nothing an anti-material rifle can't solve," Georgia says smiling
"Is that what they are calling the cannons now?" Enterprise asks
Georgia does a so-so motion before setting down the stern plate on the ground.
"Right, so not happy with your retirement. Big E do you wanna see if I can get you your hull back?" Georgia asks
"Will I be able to fight? I mean people seem to be able to interact with you," Enterprise says
"I… give me a second I have an Idea," Georgia says
Enterprise watches in wonder as the stern plate suddenly becomes a Blue glowing cube.
"Right you're still here that's a good sign," Georgia says
"What is that supposed to mean?" Enterprise asks
"It should take two," Georgia says pulling out a cube and triple-checking to make sure it's a mass-produced one and not one with a personality.
Turns out some of the cargo vessels did have a personality since they were around for so long.
"What are you doing?" Enterprise asks confused
"Think fast!" Georgia shouts
The two blue cubes are suddenly thrusted into Enterprise's chest. Her non-physical body seems to absorb them causing her to glow in a golden light.
"What! What did you just do!?" Enterprise shouts in shock as her rigging appears.
The long flat runway with a yellow CV-6 painted on it is slung across her side like one would wear a messenger bag. With the deck superstructure slinging itself around her other side for counterbalance. To top it all off A massive longbow is formed in her hands.
"I made you like me!" Georgia says with a smile
Enterprise opens her mouth however she cuts herself off when her stomach rumbles.
===================
Meanwhile, at the PRT headquarters, all the lights in the windows suddenly go dark.
"Why is the power off!" Armsmaster shouts
That's when the emergency floodlights turn on before the backup generator kicks on bathing the building in red light.
"Hello everyone this is the director of the PRT ENE. If you are wondering why the power has gone out. That is because the electrical workers Union has black-listed us. On top of that, the city trash workers are no longer picking up our trash. That is the first in a long list of services we are no longer getting. It appears the city no longer wants us here. However, we are here to stay!" Piggot announces over the intercom system
Armsmaster's phone suddenly pings. The message is a few simple words.
"'My office now."
===============
Georgia and Enterprise are currently at Dovetail. It's a restaurant on 6th street just down the road from the USS Constitution Museum.
Georgia is just watching in wonder as Enterprise is putting down several hundreds of dollars worth of food.
"I am so happy I took that thief's wallet. Then again I've got plenty of money anyways," Georgia murmurs
"Right, Enterprise we need to go if we are gonna see great grandma and Cassin," Georgia says
The pair of ship girls even with their rigging away draw some attention then again they do stand out walking around an active port.
"Wow, do you think she's awake?" Enterprise asks
"Iowa was, actually Iowa thought you were dead. So I am willing to bet both her and Cassin are in for a surprise," Georgia says with a smile.
The two climb the gangway onto the destroyer wanting to see Cassin first.
"Enterprise?" The shock is clear in the tone of voice.
Georgia and Enterprise turn around to see a girl with black hair.
"Told you she'd be surprised," Georgia says
"You were part of task force 54, weren't you? How did you recognize me I usually only had task force 16 with me?" Enterprise asks
"The destroyers talked about you after the war. I can't believe you are alive," Cassin says
"She was always too stubborn to die," Georgia says
"Who are you?" Cassin asks
"I am the USS Georgia, the never-built Iowa class with 18inch guns instead of the 16-in," Georgia replies.
Suddenly there is a thump in the distance.
"Oh, that girl just passed out," Cassin says
"Who?" Georgia asks
"She's just around the corner. Was she watching us? Usually they people can't see us," Cassin asks
"Actually, they can see me and Enterprise. Speaking of which when the normal humans are gone tonight you are getting an impromptu drydock session," Georgia says
"I found the girl," Enterprise says holding a Sarah Livesy or Tattletale
"Enterprise I think your luck and my Luck combined is too much. I have been wanting to talk to that girl for a while," Georgia says in shock.
"Well, thank you for getting me away from those lunatics. Wanted to use me for power armor or something." Enterprise says
"Give me a minute I'm almost away and hidden," Georgia says walking into a hotel lobby
"So, you look familiar. Almost like New Jersey," Enterprise says musing to herself.
"Like I said give me a minute," Georgia responds holding the Stern plate walking into an empty ballroom.
"Wait you can hear me? You looked at me earlier can you see me?" Enterprise asks in shock
The massive ballroom was void of anyone and was barely lit by the light coming in from the windows.
"Of course I can, there's a reason I look like my cousin after all," Georgia says with a smile.
"… Wait what? You're not a Montana class maybe? Then again I've heard they've stopped making battleships. Then Carrier's days are numbered as well. Especially with those para things running around." Enterprise says

Lisa woke up in a dark place. She was laying down on a semi-soft surface.
Trying to remember what happened before she blacked out.
"Crap. It's that cape again," Lisa mutters
Is by the sea. Sound of waves. Is experiencing small rocking motions. Is on a boat? Yes. Stationary? Yes.
"Please stop still trying to recover from the headache that Georgia girl gave me," Lisa says trying to reign in her powers.
The door suddenly opens and a small lantern illuminates the room.
The steel walls and floor were a bit of a surprise. The mattress was ancient.
Is on a ship. Small room with multiple bunks. Is crew quarters of a ship. Small quarters and small roof clearance. In a destroyer. Cassin Young.
"Hey Sarah," Georgia says
Knows you? Maybe. Thinks she knows you. Relative? Yes but no? Is ship yes! Yes is ship!
"Do I know you?" Lisa asks just trying to get expressions to read.
Yes, she knows you. Is ship yes! Considers you family.
"W-what?" Lisa asks now really confused
Reminds her of family.
"I want to answer but is it necessary with how much you're reading me?" Georgia asks
Knows you. Is ship. Knows your power. Yes ship. Your problems. Wants to help. kantai otome mairimasu. Thinks your family.
"We're family?" Lisa asks
Is ship yes. No yes yes maybe help error.
Lisa grabs her forehead and groans.
"Did I throw an error code again? Sorry about that. I would like to think we are cousins even though that's a loaded statement in and of itself considering my other cousins. I'm just happy you're alive on this earth," Georgia says
Error…. Rebooting
"You're from another earth?" Lisa asks
"Your Mom's a psychotic bitch with delusions and the occasional breakdown?" Georgia asks
"That describes her pretty well," Lisa says
"What about your dad in Georgia?" Georgia asks
"He's not there went down with his submarine when he was in the navy. Leviathan loved to target nuclear subs." Lisa says
"Your grandmother, Aunt, uncle, and cousins in Florida?" Georgia asks
"Dead. How do… no wait we are related but from a different earth?" Lisa says in realization
"Took you a while Sarah," Georgia says
Eerrorrrerror
"You crashed my powers so it's not fair," Lisa says
"Meh potato patato. Need any help with your snake problem?" Georgia asks
"Georgia! You done talking to the prospective XO yet?" Enterprise shouts from the other room.
"Almost Enterprise!" Georgia shouts back
Uss Enterprise. Is ship yes.
"You said enterprise? As in the USS Enterprise? Wait, you're actually a ship. Both you and that other girl are the spirits of warships! My birth father served on you! That's how you know me!" Lisa shouts triumphantly having finally figured out the new cape.
"Then where does the other earth fit into this? Also, I'm not a nuclear submarine." Georgia says
"No it makes perfect sense! You are from an earth where we didn't stop building battleships! Your 18in guns are enough to prove that. So you are the Georgia who had an alternate version of my father serve on her." Lisa states
Is shocked! Likely correct. Is battleship. Is Georgia.
======================
Georgia is just staring at Sarah in complete shock.
The logic is there for her answer; it's just completely wrong.
'Well, that answers the question of if I have to worry about thinkers or not.' Georgia thinks
"Let's get back on track. So the snake problem?" Georgia asks
"Wait, are you the one who's been giving Coil problems? I need to know how you are doing that!" Lisa says excited
"Well you see anytime I see him. I kill him, his power allows him to run two timelines at once so if he dies I forcibly close one. Its quite fun I wonder how many times I've nuked the city of Brokton. It's quite fun actually. He kidnaps someone Brockton gets nuked. He attacks me Brockton gets nuked. He leakes all the villain Identities Brockton gets nuked. The 9 show up Brockton gets nuked. I get looked at weird then boom," Georgia says
"You're both joking and not at the same time really?" Lisa asks
"We'll I can't tell you how many times I've nuked Brockton in an alternate timeline so meh." Georgia says
"So you've got Katie shells? Don't let Scion find out he destroyed most of the world's nuclear arsenal in the 80s." Lisa says
"I don't have them. I have the plan for them and know of several ways to get them fairly quickly. Can't have nukes with the crazy space whale around. I should probably keep quiet then too," Georgia says
"Did you say crazy space whale? You know something about the world's number one hero?" Lisa asks
"I know alot of things Sarah. I mean did you know that the dockworkers union is about to make a move on the merchants? Danny probably doesn't even know it yet," Georgia says
"Yes, I did actually that would be the next logical step considering that the graveyard is gone. You plan on ruining skidmarks day don't you?" Lisa asks
"Right, we need to get you off the ship so I can repair her," Georgia says
==========================
The only thing that caught Cassin Young disappearing and reappearing was an old security camera. It didn't take long after that for 3 figures to leave the ship and head over towards olde constitution.
"So, what do you plan to do next?" Georgia asks Lisa
"Well, I have your number now so if Coil gives me problems you can help me. Not to mention the tracking device," Lisa says
"It's a panic button, You press it and I'll have drones or a scout plane on you as fast as I can," Georgia says
"Thank you, So much for all of this," Lisa says
The girl left the two ship girls to their own devices as she needed to make her own way back to the bay.
"Are we heading home?" Enterprise asks
"Yes, we are… I need to get another car!" Georgia announces hitting he hands together.
Trying to remember what happened before she blacked out.
"Crap. It's that cape again," Lisa mutters

Georgia and Enterprise approach their grandmother. She looks slightly different from what Georgia remembers. It might be the robotic crew or maybe the fact that there is a massive rocket attached to the hull of the ship.
"Enterprise are you seeing this too?" Georgia asks
"Halt scavengers!" Is said by a floating ball.
The metallic creation has 3 telescopic eyes and 3 arms hanging off the bottom of it. The Spudnik look-alike was floating with some sort of rocket engine attached to the bottom of it.
"Scanning Scanning! Identified! USS Georgia and USS Enterprise… Ironsides wishes to confer with you!" It says its robotic voice crackling a little like it is an old-fashioned radio.
"I am confused.." Enterprise says
Georgia motions for Enterprise to play along as they follow the floating robot.
After a walk through a robot crewed hull they reach the top deck.
"Ah! My great-grandkids came to visit!" Is shouted from ahead of them by the helm.
"Hello Grandma Constitution," Georgia says with a smile as she's pulled into a hug by the old heavy frigate.
"So why have you decided to visit little old me? Because I can tell you I am going to get to the sea and pay back those commie bastards if it's the last thing I do!" Constitution says
"Okay? Um grandma you are already in the ocean." Enterprise says confused
"No no! You see I got these amazing rocket engines from a friend named tinker Tom! And I shall take to the sky and become an airship!" Constitution says
"Rocket engines?" Georgia asks
"Yes! It's called an XMB booster engine!" Constitution clarifies
"Isn't that a prototype nuclear rocket engine?" Georgia asks
Constitution makes a so-so sign with her hand.
Georgia knows she can't let her grandma fire those things off. The rockets would ruin Boston.
With a quick look, Enterprise knows that she needs to distract Constitution while Georgia does some work.
"So Grandma why don't you tell me about the war of 1812?" Enterprise asks
"Oh? Do you want to hear stories of my glory days? I mean you are almost as important as me Enterprise. In fact I remember the first Enterprise she launched in 1799. You carried her name on well." Constitution says smiling
==============
Georgia is taking her time sabotaging the flight systems the first thing to go was the radar array no guidance no flight.
Afterward, she snuck below deck and blew about half a dozen fuses that powered the engines. Knowing that that would help until the next day when the curator arrived.
==================
Georgia eventually gets back to the top deck to see Constitution and Enterprise sitting down and talking.
"Let me tell you granddaughter I was surprised as anyone when the Guerriere's cannonballs bounced off. I was so tempted to sail to Great Britain and raid the British countryside just like Ranger did during the revolutionary war! It was one hell of a day some of the steel balls just hit my side and rolled off. That's how I got the nickname of Ironsides." Constitution says
"What kind of wood was it again?" Georgia asks
"I am made of Live Oak from the state of Georgia. The best wood there is for shipbuilding!" Constitution says
"Right I remember Ryan talking about that in a video. New Jersey has a good Curator. We should take time to go visit them. New Jersey isn't too far." Georgia says
Enterprise nods.
"I am so happy, that you all came to visit me! I usually just have Cassin here to keep me company. Could you tell the others to visit?" Constitution asks
"I'll bring them by when I can. Need to bring them back first." Georgia says with a smile
===============================
When the morning sun rose the USS Constitution was restored to normal and a Mysterious Tinker Tom was arrested by the PRT.
The great-grandmother somehow even managed to give Georgia and Enterprise Oil flavored cookies.

Alligator's at the Bar (Original Poster) (Verified Florida Man)
Posted On Feb 19th 2011:
We all know who he is.
The bastard that stole my hero name. It's a shame I am not a cape.
Anyways Florida man derailed the Jacksonville monorail last night.
He did so while riding one of those giant mutated alligators.
The PRT is honestly stumped and did not know that our local being of chaos was capable of creating those abominations. Considering he was just a brute last month.

So, My contacts in the DWU have told me that their Boss has rented out a portion of the docks to a woman who I going to open a naval Museum.
That and according to my sources that the same woman later got permits from the mayor's office.

Yep! That would be Georgia! a childhood friend of mine. I have a few things to say as well. To those of you who may target her.
Empire. I know who you are and where you live. Attero Dominatus. Berlin shall burn as the Reich shall fall. You backers will suddenly find themselves targeted too.
ABB. Lung I have 18in armor-piercing shells and more guns than a battalion.
Merchants. Most of you guys are down on your luck. I know asking you to be smart while on drugs is difficult. Just maybe if you rub your collective single brain cell together you could think for once.
Coil... YOU know what I can don't you? Mister Smurf light that can see the future.
Undersiders. I know who you are and who you work for.

So I was on patrol and Still am...
Don't tell Piggot.
Right so I was down at the boardwalk you know the fairly calm and arguably safest place in the city. When I heard shouting, It was the local Blender dog. He was shouting into Parian's shop.
That was when the battle ship cape walked out and shot him. It was loud like really loud. Anyway's I took a video so here

We are announcing the death of the last Butcher. We at this time do not know who killed them.
All we know is there are reports of 3 capes fighting. One of them had a mini gun yet was losing according to the caller.
The Butcher was found dead the minigun next to their body. The Barrels of said gun were bent at a 90-degree angle.
It is also well known that the Butcher has a Tinker Tech car. That car is now missing. If we could get everyone to keep an eye out for a Sky Blue Hyundai Genesis.

We all know who he is.
The bastard that stole my hero name. It's a shame I am not a cape.
Anyways Florida man derailed the Jacksonville monorail last night.
He did so while riding one of those giant mutated alligators.
The PRT is honestly stumped and did not know that our local being of chaos was capable of creating those abominations. Considering he was just a brute last month.

Yep! That would be Georgia! a childhood friend of mine. I have a few things to say as well. To those of you who may target her.
Empire. I know who you are and where you live. Attero Dominatus. Berlin shall burn as the Reich shall fall. You backers will suddenly find themselves targeted too.
ABB. Lung I have 18in armor-piercing shells and more guns than a battalion.
Merchants. Most of you guys are down on your luck. I know asking you to be smart while on drugs is difficult. Just maybe if you rub your collective single brain cell together you could think for once.
Coil... YOU know what I can don't you? Mister Smurf light that can see the future.
Undersiders. I know who you are and who you work for.

"So… who was that random crazy person with a machine gun you killed?" Enterprise asks
Georgia shrugs.
"I've got no clue. I mean it shou-" Georgia is cut off as her crew starts shouting.
"Borders? What the hell? How do I have boarders?" Georgia asks in shock.
"Hey!"
"Some Sort of crystal thing appeared on the bridge and released them? Well, deal with it according to international law then. They are pirates." Georgia says
A second later muffled gunshots can be heard coming from where Georgia is standing.
"What is going on?" Enterprise asks concerned.
"My crew is just dealing with borders and throwing some sort of life raft thing overboard. It tried to lodge itself into my bridge. Could you believe it?" Georgia asks
=================
Meanwhile in Washington DC.
"So, a new parahuman has appeared."
The man looks up from the paperwork lack of sleep clearly getting to him.
"Could someone please tell me why ONI is watching a parahuman? I can not afford another fight with the PRT over budget again."
"She's a ship-themed cape. Rumor has it she has repaired the dry dock in Brockton bay."
"We have another operational dry dock on the east coast besides kings bay and Norfolk? Someone contact her about using the facilities. Maybe we won't have to sail CVN-65 to Pearl for her dry docking." The man says hopeful.
"Sir?"
"Yes go ahead."
"We believe that same cape is able to repair and arm naval ships."
"She can arm naval ships alright. I got a call from Iowa's curator. The ship's magazine was full of powder and shells. The museum is closed while we are removing the volatile equipment."
"She seems to dislike the PRT as well and has actually worked with the guild just to avoid them. If it wasn't for the fact she went in for power testing then we wouldn't know if she was friend or foe. Though it is believed she sandbagged massively on the power testing."
"You said Brockton right?"
"Yes sir."
"I know Danny Hebert the guy might as well run the docks at Brockton. He's been an old family friend since I knew his father. I'll make a phone call and see about heading up myself."
"If you're certain vice-admiral…"
==================
Danny was in panic mode. If it could be called that, somehow Georgia had gotten the attention of the office of naval intelligence.
"Are you doing alright Danny? I mean I know finally getting the cape we have been waiting for is a lot, however, this is a bit much," Kurt says
"I got a call from one of my dad's war buddies," Danny says
"Really? I mean are they a former dock worker wanting to come back now that we've got work?" Kurt asks
"No, it is his old Captain. Who is currently a vice admiral in the navy," Danny says
"Yeah, that would give you a reason to panic…" Kurt says
"Oh, it gets better. He's coming to visit. He wants to meet Georgia and have some of his engineers inspect the dry dock. He is hoping to be able to use us to dry dock some ships." Danny says
"We might actually see repair work? Don't they have Norfolk?" Kurt asks
"He said Norfolk is actually overrun especially since a number ships are still in need of repair after the battle with Board Game," Danny says
Unnoticed by Danny and Kurt Georgia had arrived with Enterprise right behind her.
"Board game? Who is that?" Georgia asks
The two men jump slightly not expecting the other two to be so quiet.
"Board game was a cape who is able to control things from board games. Kinda lame I know however one night he decided to sneak into the mothball fleet and play Battleship. He made off with about half the mothball fleet. The navy chased him down fighting against a guy who can control ships and have them coordinate better than most veteran crews made it a difficult fight. Navy won in the end, yet they only managed to recover about a ⅓ of the stolen ships," Danny says
Enterprise is clenching her fist and Georgia looks horrified.
"Is he dead?" Enterprise asks
Danny nods feeling genuine oppression from the woman in front of him.
"Hello, I am Kurt. What's your name?" Kurt asks trying to break the building tension.
"Enterprise," She responds slowly calming down.
"Enterprise? Like the ship?" Kurt asks
"Yes. Just like the ship." Georgia says before Enterprise could say much more.
Kurt and Danny look over at Georgia.
The ship girl in question responds with a shrug.
"So… who was that random crazy person with a machine gun you killed?" Enterprise asks
Georgia shrugs.
"I've got no clue. I mean it shou-" Georgia is cut off as her crew starts shouting.
"Borders? What the hell? How do I have boarders?" Georgia asks in shock.

Just gonna say it's a bit shorter than I wish it was however I want to try and get the entire fight into one chapter. This is just the lead-up to it.
February 24th 2011
Georgia awoke to alarms.
The blaring siren sounded like an air raid system on steroids. Enterprise was awake too and about to launch a sortie.
"Enterprise it's not here radar is showing nothing. I think an ally needs assistance." Georgia says
In truth, she forgot that the Smurf would attack Australia on the 24th.
The carrier nods in response following Georgia out of the bunk area she had set up in a warehouse.
"Let's go to the PRT building according to my radio operator, that's an end bringer siren," Georgia says
Enterprise nods in response as the two ship girls make their way through Brockton at max speed.
Later in the day, people would find footprints embedded into the cement.
==================
Armsmaster was looking at the turnout for the endbringer fight. They had 5 minutes till the teleporter arrived.
Each time less and less capes from the bay arrived. They were alive, Colin knew so since he often fought them.
From the E88 there was Kaiser and Kreig. No one from the ABB and no one from the merchants.
"Is this it?" Piggot asks with a frown.
"Yes, sadly some of our members were injured earlier this week. Hookwolf took a 20mm to the leg." Kaiser says
"Wait up!" Is shouted as BB-70 arrives
"Who's that?" Colin asks pointing at the woman with white hair and beaked cap.
"Im the Grey Ghost." The woman in question responds
"She's with me." BB-70 says
Enterprise leveled her bow at Kreig who is literally wearing an SS uniform.
"Nazi," Enterprise says with so much spite it literally shocks everyone there.
"Hey, big E put the bow down. They are here under a truce. We can kill them later," Georgia says
"You can't just kill them," Piggot says
"We can't just kill people? Tell that to their final solution," Georgia says with almost as much spite as Enterprise had mustered earlier.
"I am so happy you pulled me out of retirement. It appears that my job wasn't completely finished and some of the mess is still around today." Enterprise says
Most of the upper echelons of the PRT knew who Georgia was. She could not be any more obvious with her cape persona and her identity. Relying on the unwritten rules to protect you was risky. She wasn't an outright public cape, like New Wave however just about anyone with half a brain could figure out who she was.
The new girl, however. No one knew who she is yet Georgia respects her. That says a lot.
"Is this it?" A male voice asks
"Yes, thanks for coming Strider," Armsmaster says.
"I know, just doing my part and I'll be bringing the injured here afterward like usual anyways," Strider says with a nod.
"Where is it this time?" Asks Velocity
"Australia," Strider says
"Ahead the sea lies calm awaiting the storm," Georgia says smiling.
"Are we all ready?" Miss Militia asks
All capes present voice their agreement.
The surroundings suddenly flash and the night sky disappears.
==========================
They arrive outside by a few tents.
Several of the capes try to get their balance.
"According to my compass we are upside down," Georgia says confused.
"You two, this way briefing room shouts a man in a kangaroo outfit."
"Ah, it's the land down under. I have heard about this place," Enterprise says.

Everyone that arrived from the Eastern United States was being briefed by Legend.
"Welcome everyone. For those of you who have been to an endbringer fight before raising your hand." Legend says
Several new arrivals raise their hand.
"Right if at any point you lose contact with command these are the people you listen to," Legend says
Enterprise shakes her head with a sigh.
"Please make sure you all watch the time that you spend within the range of the song. Grab a band on your way out and stay safe." Legend says as he flies up and away.
Georgia and Enterprise look at each other.
"I'll handle close quarters, you cover the range?" Georgia asks
Enterprise nods summoning her bow.
The two-ship girls charge ahead unaware of the waves they were making.
====================
Dreadnought, that was the name of the hero who the Simurgh currently had pinned. Audrey was a formal British naval officer aboard the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier when it went down.
That had been her trigger event, giving her the ability to move on the water at decent speeds and an insane amount of durability. Given the name Dreadnought and gifted a tinker modified 5" 38 caliber gun she has continued to serve the British navy unofficially.
Audrey closed her eyes false angel's fist was making its way toward her in slow motion. The ally way was empty as the other second-wave heroes have retreated by this point, there was no rescue.
Suddenly there is a loud thud followed by the sound of several rocks hitting the ground. Audrey felt like she had just been pelted by a dozen stones.
The veteran hero opened her eyes to see the building to her right had a human-sized hole in it while the building to her left had a Simurgh-sized hole going through it.
There is a loud rumbling sound in the distance as a building collapses.
"What the hell?" Dreadnought says confused looking through the hole to the left only to be blown back from the pressure of a massive explosion.
"Hit her again Enterprise!" Is shouted as the roaring of plane engines are heard from above.
Looking up a full-size Dauntless Dive bomber disappears behind the building followed by another explosion.
Once her ears stop ringing Dreadnought realizes that the singing has stopped.
She tries to get another look to see who had saved her and what was happening with the Simurgh only for the building she was looking through to collapse in front of her.
"What?" Is muttered one last time as her surroundings flash around her and she is in the medical tent.
"Dreadnought! We found you. How are you alive?"
"I don't know? Something is soloing the Simurgh right now?" Dreadnought says in confusion.
==================
Was Georgia soloing the Simurgh? Not really, Enterprise was harassing the shit out of it with air attacks.
Georgia once leaving the tent listened to her crew and took the fastest way to her target. Which happened to be through a few buildings.
The Simurgh got bodied by a 56-thousand-ton and some change battleship moving at ramming speed. The precog had a look of utter shock on her face because Magical Sparkly Shipgirl Bullshit had somehow blocked her precognition.
The follow-up strike by Enterprise's precision bombing only further exasperated the issue. Ziz would no longer hold back as she was thrown through another building by the battleship.
Georgia is looking at the rubble as Simmy pulls herself out of the wreckage.
Georgia whistles to herself.
"If looks could kill that would've hurt," Georgia says challenging the endbringer.
The false Angel looked to be charging up a scream before it was interrupted by American brownings 50 cals and 20mm Hispano fire.
The creature looks to the sky in anger telekinetically throwing a section of building at an F8F Bearcat.
The supposed scream was muted by 18" cannon fire blowing off a wing.
"Target locked fire for effect," Georgia says as all of her guns begin to open up.
The first one to run out of ammo was the 20mm gun crews.
Georgia is dodging attacks and swipes from its wings while her crew fires at will.
The Smurf isn't able to take flight not safely anyways Enterprise is controlling the air with her fighter wing.
=================
Dragon had a drone watching the endbringer.
To say it caught the absurdity would be an understatement. It caught the absurdity in 8k. Everyone at the command tent had seen the black-haired woman body check the endbringer and win throwing the Simurgh through a building.
"That hit with way too much force." A voice says
Suddenly under the spot the Simurgh previously was, they could see a wounded Dreadnought.
One of the most durable capes in the world was downed and severely injured.
"Someone get Dreadnought out of there!"
Breakneck was quick to respond, Dreadnought was just under the time limit and she was severely injured. The speedster was able to evacuate her while the endbringer was occupied.
=================
The fight has been going on for 3 hours. Canberra was on fire.
Georgia coughs up oil prompting her to wipe her mouth. In the second she was distracted she takes a blow that would've killed most brutes knocking her through several buildings.
Ziz had finally stopped sandbagging as the two ship girls worked to corner it.
The endbringer couldn't get its song or scream off because whenever it tried it took a full broadside from Georgia blowing away parts of its body.
The capital of Australia was a war zone. Remains of aircraft and ordnance litter the streets. The capes there for the fight were sitting back watching the clash of titans in wonder.
"Georgia are you doing okay?" Enterprise asks over their radio.
Georgia crawls out of some rubble brushing the concrete dust off of her outfit.
"I could be doing better. Luckily it's not just shrugging off my shots. It just seems like it regenerates whatever we blast off, though maybe there is a weak spot." Georgia says blocking a wing strike with her rigging.
'That was for my neck. Would've hurt for sure.' Georgia thinks looking at the angry endbringer.
Ziz is suddenly dodging bombs as Enterprise levels another city block.
"That's not a report Georgia. Damage report now!" Enterprise says
The carrier pulled the Endbringer's aggro off of Georgia. Enterprise was dodging strikes like she was dancing and firing her bow point-blank into the Endbringer's face. Her AA lit up the air in front of her.
"Fine! Half my boilers are knocked out. Some of my steam pipes are leaking however I am still combat-capable." Georgia says that since the last hit she took actually did some damage.
"We need support Georgia," Enterprise says
"You're right… What is a carrier group without her escort." Georgia says with a smile.
"Welcome everyone. For those of you who have been to an endbringer fight before raising your hand." Legend says
Several new arrivals raise their hand.
"Right if at any point you lose contact with command these are the people you listen to," Legend says
Enterprise shakes her head with a sigh.
"Please make sure you all watch the time that you spend within the range of the song. Grab a band on your way out and stay safe." Legend says as he flies up and away.

She tries to get another look to see who had saved her and what was happening with the Simurgh only for the building she was looking through to collapse in front of her.
"What?" Is muttered one last time as her surroundings flash around her and she is in the medical tent.
"Dreadnought! We found you. How are you alive?"
"I don't know? Something is soloing the Simurgh right now?" Dreadnought says in confusion.
==================
Was Georgia soloing the Simurgh? Not really, Enterprise was harassing the shit out of it with air attacks.
Georgia once leaving the tent listened to her crew and took the fastest way to her target. Which happened to be through a few buildings.
The Simurgh got bodied by a 56-thousand-ton and some change battleship moving at ramming speed. The precog had a look of utter shock on her face because Magical Sparkly Shipgirl Bullshit had somehow blocked her precognition.
The follow-up strike by Enterprise's precision bombing only further exasperated the issue. Ziz would no longer hold back as she was thrown through another building by the battleship.
Georgia is looking at the rubble as Simmy pulls herself out of the wreckage.
Georgia whistles to herself.
"If looks could kill that would've hurt," Georgia says challenging the endbringer.
The false Angel looked to be charging up a scream before it was interrupted by American brownings 50 cals and 20mm Hispano fire.
The creature looks to the sky in anger telekinetically throwing a section of building at an F8F Bearcat.
The supposed scream was muted by 18" cannon fire blowing off a wing.
"Target locked fire for effect," Georgia says as all of her guns begin to open up.
The first one to run out of ammo was the 20mm gun crews.
Georgia is dodging attacks and swipes from its wings while her crew fires at will.
The Smurf isn't able to take flight not safely anyways Enterprise is controlling the air with her fighter wing.
=================
Dragon had a drone watching the endbringer.
To say it caught the absurdity would be an understatement. It caught the absurdity in 8k. Everyone at the command tent had seen the black-haired woman body check the endbringer and win throwing the Simurgh through a building.
"That hit with way too much force." A voice says
Suddenly under the spot the Simurgh previously was, they could see a wounded Dreadnought.
One of the most durable capes in the world was downed and severely injured.
"Someone get Dreadnought out of there!"
Breakneck was quick to respond, Dreadnought was just under the time limit and she was severely injured. The speedster was able to evacuate her while the endbringer was occupied.
=================
The fight has been going on for 3 hours. Canberra was on fire.
Georgia coughs up oil prompting her to wipe her mouth. In the second she was distracted she takes a blow that would've killed most brutes knocking her through several buildings.
Ziz had finally stopped sandbagging as the two ship girls worked to corner it.
The endbringer couldn't get its song or scream off because whenever it tried it took a full broadside from Georgia blowing away parts of its body.
The capital of Australia was a war zone. Remains of aircraft and ordnance litter the streets. The capes there for the fight were sitting back watching the clash of titans in wonder.
"Georgia are you doing okay?" Enterprise asks over their radio.
Georgia crawls out of some rubble brushing the concrete dust off of her outfit.
"I could be doing better. Luckily it's not just shrugging off my shots. It just seems like it regenerates whatever we blast off, though maybe there is a weak spot." Georgia says blocking a wing strike with her rigging.
'That was for my neck. Would've hurt for sure.' Georgia thinks looking at the angry endbringer.
Ziz is suddenly dodging bombs as Enterprise levels another city block.
"That's not a report Georgia. Damage report now!" Enterprise says
The carrier pulled the Endbringer's aggro off of Georgia. Enterprise was dodging strikes like she was dancing and firing her bow point-blank into the Endbringer's face. Her AA lit up the air in front of her.
"Fine! Half my boilers are knocked out. Some of my steam pipes are leaking however I am still combat-capable." Georgia says that since the last hit she took actually did some damage.
"We need support Georgia," Enterprise says
"You're right… What is a carrier group without her escort." Georgia says with a smile.

===================================================
A second later the first one to appear did so her green hair fit surprisingly well.
The Girl was not what Georgia imagined she would look like however, Swayback would probably do something to help.
"Did someone call for a treaty cruiser!" Salt Lake City announces
"No, I think they called for a newer one," Atlanta says purposely setting up Salt Lake for a comeback.
"Hey now, youth and exuberance are no match for old age and treachery." Salt lake responds
It almost seemed rehearsed. It probably was…
"Miss I tanked two nukes, you can brag about it after we fight an enemy of humanity," Georgia shouts at the treater cruiser.
"Wait, we are still fighting nazis?" Atlanta asks
"It's not a nazi," Georgia says as the building behind the two shipgirls collapses to show the Simurgh in her full glory.
The two turn around the endbringer poised to strike them down. They answered with nonstop cannon fire. The Smurf was pinned under the constant barrage. The two never slowed down with Georgia throwing in a shell every now and then for good measure until an F4F wildcat strafes it with rockets another one hitting it with a depth charge.
The Endbringer looks up in anger only to take a full spread of torpedoes to the back. Of which, only about half detonated. The package was delivered courtesy of a now hidden USS Archerfish.
"The Cavalry has arrived!" Independence announces holding her bow leveled at the false angel.
Uss Knight, Uss Abercrombie, and USS John C Butler in formation around their carrier.
Simmy looks at Georgia who smiles triumphantly. The Endbringer decides to cut her losses and took off to the sky. Being harassed all the way up till the max height of the fighters Enterprise and Independence could muster.
The capital city of Australia seemed like a total loss. While in truth the casualty count was only in the triple digits.
According to the thinkers, half of which are catatonic all agreed that the Endbringer didn't manage to get enough of its song off to affect anyone for more than 3 weeks.
Though the main concern on everyone's minds was the capes that forced Ziz back to space. Who were they, what did they want, and where are they now?
================================

"So be my guest you've got nothing to lose! Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise." Georgia sings along
The shipgirls are heading northeast aiming for a few islands before hitting Pearl.
Salt Lake City coughs.
"Yes?" Georgia asks
Enterprise glances at the battleship.
"Right, we are approaching it aren't we," Georgia says her voice wavering slightly.
Atlanta nods.
"So, that's your mom down there?" Georgia asks looking at CL-104. Knowing Atlanta CL-51 lay at the bottom of iron bottom sound.
"Mine too," Gregory says
Georgia sees flashes of a 4-stack Wickes class destroyer DD-82.
"We all lost friends and family there," Enterprise says
"Do you have the wreath?" Independence asks
Georgia nods pulling the wreath out of her storage space.
"According to sonar, it's clear," Archerfish says surfacing.
"You should know the war has been over for years," Enterprise says.
"I was checking for mines," Archerfish says
"We are still about 3 hours from the Solomon Islands at the current speed. Why were you checking for mines?" Georgia asks
"It's a habit." Archerfish says
"Now that we helped you won't get rid of us right?" Salt Lake asks.
Georgia responds by hugging the shorter ship girl.
"No, I would never do that to you. In fact, I still have your steel hull. When we aren't helping fight evil. I was hoping to run a museum. Like how Missouri, New Jersey, and York town retired to do. You could do that too. I'll manage the financial stuff you just focus on telling the stories of yourself and your crew." Georgia says
"T-thank you… I was worried I was gonna become bomb practice again." Salt Lake says shakily.
"I would never do that to my family," Georgia says
"I have a question." Independence asks
"Go ahead," Georgia says
"How do we resupply ourselves? My crew is wondering." Independence says
"You do so by eating like a human. Or you could take the supplies and absorb it in a weird way. At the moment I have a significant surplus of oil. So we should be good till we get to Pearl." Georgia says
Independence nods while the other girls look to be contemplating the fact they were now semi-human.
"Yes, Georgia is telling the truth there. We can resupply by eating human food and the amount that needs to be eaten depends on your resource consumption. You'll find yourself needing the calories for around 10-12 men a day. Luckily there are plenty of high-calorie meals out there." Enterprise says
"When did you get time to research that?" Georgia asks
"My medical officer did," Enterprise says
"You have a medical officer? Most of my crew is shipwrights and builders while my gunners and officers seem to have been a generation of Jersey's." Georgia says
"You could design retrofits then?" Atlanta asks
"I already have, it's just a matter of resources," Georgia admits
Atlanta nods.
"Say Swayback, could you tell me a story?" Georgia asks as they continue to Iron bottom sound to pay their respects.
"Say, Enterprise remember when the war started?" Salt Lake says
"Yes, I do actually weren't you escorting me back to pearl?" Enterprise asks
"I was also with you and Hornet during the Dolittle raid." Salt lake says with a smirk.
"Well once upon a time during the Solomon Island campaign, October 11, 1942, I was out and about with Boise Helena and Sanfransico. Well at the start of the action I launched my scout aircraft which immediately caught fire and crashed into the ocean on launch. The Japanese saw this and thought it was a flare… So they started trying to signal us with lights." Salt Lake says
Georgia is speechless and several of the other ships are now captured by the story.
"They had given us their position and who they were you know. We also had them on radar so we moved to cross their T like the old age of sail tactic. Helena asked for permission to act. When the rear admiral responded with roger, we all opened fire in a battleline." Salt Lake says smiling.
"Wait, Sanfransico didn't have that good of a radar in October of 1942." Georgia interjects
"You're right she didn't, apparently the rear admiral jumped in surprise when we started firing because he had no clue what was going on in the dark. I mean who just says roger when someone asks for permission to act?" Salt Lake City says laughing.
"How did your scout planes burst into flames on launch?" Enterprise asks
"I don't know. I'm not a carrier or a Cleveland class," Salt Lake says.
"You're right… What is a carrier group without her escort." Georgia says with a smile.

Georgia, Enterprise, and their escorting force had passed through Iron bottom sound relatively uneventfully. There was a Chinese ship that was trying to scrap war graves.
Georgia thinks the message they left behind was received.
The group had sailed north arriving close to where operation crossroads had happened, the first ship Georgia was grabbing was the USS Prinz Eugen. After all, after how the Nazis treated the Kreigsmarine they basically hated the Nazi party. Being left high and dry without resources and forced to use capital ships for merchant raiding? Who does that?
Using battleline capital ships to raid small merchant ships is the textbook example of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
She also grabbed Saratoga, Nagato, and quite a few others while there before heading off to Hawaii.
======================
February 25 2011

Is it the wrong song to play under the current circumstances? Yes yes, it was, though Georgia liked it so she was playing it anyways.
The ship girls made pearls in record time compared to their old steel hulls. Initially, it was Salt Lake who discover she could overpressure her boilers with little to no problems.
Suddenly a radio communication came in requesting they do not play music over military channels.
"What, but this channel hasn't been in use since the Korean conflict," Georgia says shocked
"I'll respond." Salt Lake says
Suddenly the radio clicks. "Hello, this is the USS Salt Lake City CA-25 requesting permission to pull into my old port of call."
The radio is silent for a minute.
"CA-25 you are not on the chart of expected ships… Please pull up to the mouth of the harbor patrol ships will guide you in. Radar is picking up other ships near you please confirm."
"Can confirm this is USS Enterprise CVN-6 pulling into my home port. Is dock 1010 open?" Enterprise asks over the radio.
"... Give me a second I need to grab my superior officer."
Georgia laughs wishing she could see the port authorities' face.
"When are we gonna tell him about the rest of us?" Independence asks
"I don't know let's just idle at the harbor entrance and see what patrol ship they send to us," Georgia says
The other ship girls nod.
=================================
The Captian stationed to remain in charge of the antiquated naval base was rubbing his headache.
"That matches the message I got from the vice admiral. Send out USS Cyclone to guide them into port." Erik says
"Sir, this is obviously a prank." says the radio officer.
"It is not, we have a parahuman with the power to bring ships to life." Captain Erik says
Several of the long-time sailors who are at Pearl to relax a little before their retirement go silent.
"Truly?"
Erik nods.
"Yes, So send out Cyclone," Erik says
=====================
Georgia had wandered off to go find Nevada.
"So, what were we going to do while waiting for her?" Independence asks
"I think we are going to visit Missouri and a few other ships," Enterprise says
Was Cyclone a patrol ship all the navy could muster at Pearl? No, though after the damage to the main pacific fleet during the sinking of Kyushu the Navy is still licking its wounds.
Then with the loss of the Panama Canal the Atlantic and Pacific fleets have to sail around South America to get to one another.
Cyclone pulls up on the ship girls with a small signal from an old-fashioned signal lamp tells them to follow it into port.
"Well, I guess Georgia will find us later. I kinda want to resupply." Atlanta says
Enterprise nods knowing that their oil needs a top-off.
=====================================
Several hours later.
Georgia has been scouring the ocean outside of pearl with some rather advanced sonar though it didn't seem to be helping much. That was until she got a weird ping that wasn't part of the service.
"Finally! I wonder if the other girls are eating already. Well, let's get my aunt then head back to pearl." Georgia says as her rigging disappears and she disappears under the water.
=====================
Rumors were flying about the base. Especially since the visitors were getting into what was considered restricted areas. The most confusing thing was they were using codes from the 30s and 40s.
Catching the names of the girls made it crazier. You had Salt Lake, Enterprise, Atlanta, Independence, Knight, Abercrombie, and John C Butler.
Then the fact that all together they ate about 60 men's worth of food. The Galley chef went from delighted to horrified once they passed the 20-men mark.
On top of all that weirdness, the old SG radar was picking up a ship the size of Iowa out of the port just sailing around as one would.
It started to piece together once the eighth girl showed up. After all who wouldn't recognize the cape that made headlines after ramming Ziz?
"So why did you body slam the endbringer?" Erik asks
"I was just copying warspite. Didn't do too good a job though. No one expects warspite at point blank and nobody survives. Sadly the fake Angel survived." Georgia says
"Well, you didn't manage to hit her quite right." Salt Lake says
Georgia nods.
"So, what are you doing here? I thought your home port was in Boston." Erik says
"It is, I am just here for their return cruise and I found Nevada," Georgia says smiling.
"You did? I mean I think everyone on PHO has heard of Brockton Bay ship museum so I'll need to visit when I get some leave." Erik says
"Georgia you ready to go see Missouri?" Enterprise asks
"OF course!" Georgia responds
Georgia thinks the message they left behind was received.

===================================================
"Hey cousin, you plan on coming out?" Georgia asks standing aboard Missouri.
Suddenly a woman appears with long blonde hair. She looks rather tired as her outfit is showing some wear and tear.
The girl yawns before looking at the people who called out to her. "Enterprise?"
"Hello, Mighty Mo," Enterprise says with a smirk.
"I thought you were scrapped," Missouri says in shock.
"Like big E would die that easily," Georgia says with a snort.
"Wait you can all see me?" Missouri asks
All the ship girls nod.
"Yep, just waiting till we find Heerman as a razor blade," Georgia says
"O'bannon would be a toaster," Enterprise says
"Yes the taffy would manage to pull something like that off," Missouri says with a little mirth as well.
"So what brings you to my neck of the ocean?" Missouri asks
"We are sailing back home from Australia." Says a voice
Missouri turns around to see Salt Lake City and Independence.
"You!" Missouri says pointing at Georgia.
"Me?" Georgia asks
"I don't recognize you, yet IFF is reading you back as some cross between an Iowa and a Montana. You brought them back didn't you?" Missouri asks
Georgia just smiles.
"I'm your cousin that was never built. I'm USS Georgia, displacement wise I'm closer to a Montana, but speed and armor wise I'm closer to an Iowa. I have 3 double 18-inch turrets and a whole lot of Pittsburg Steel." Georgia says
"You sound a lot like grandma texas," Missouri says with a smile.
Enterprise laughs realizing that she does in fact seem similar to texas
"It's just a bit ol southern hospitality. Just because we both like sweet tea and spicy things doesn't mean we are the same. After all she shoots the freedom sedan while I shoot the minivan ." Georgia says
Salt Lake laughs with Independence following shortly afterward.
"So what are you here to do?" Missouri asks sitting down on one of the display shells used for the tours.
"A full repair of course," Georgia says touching the deck with her hand.
==================
To anyone watching the historic battleship that had the treaty signed on it flashed before it looked nearly brand new. The hull was painted and the guns were almost new with little wear on the rifling. Most of the corrosion due to time is gone, to steal a term from the brits it is Spic and span.
While also armed to the teeth.
============================
Missouri feels full of energy as her boilers nearly ignite.
Looking at the cousin who helped her she is a little worried as the girl in question is now standing unsteadily on her feet. It reminded her of when her crew from the midwest first stepped aboard.
"Are you okay?" Missouri asks
"That actually took a decent amount out of me. When was the last time you were dry-docked?" Georgia asks out of breath.
"I was supposed to be dry-docked in 1992 but active ships in the navy take priority and the navy is struggling to maintain its fleet with leviathan constantly attacking coastal cities that have naval bases," Missouri says shrugging
"Who cut the line?" Enterprise asks
"Kitty Hawk, I actually sailed with her a bit during Regans time. She's watching over Japan right now. Our ally is hurting." Missouri says
"The United States abandons its allies," Georgia mutters
"I don't think that's fair. We do try to help. They just need to learn to help themselves too." Enterprise says
'You obviously missed Afghanistan, China, Egypt, the CIA did that thing to Greece, then Panama.' Georgia thinks
There is a cough "are you all enjoying yourselves?"
All the ship girls look over to see Captain Erik.
"I think I'm doing a lot better now."
Missouri says
"I would say you are," Georgia says looking at Missouri.
"Could you make it so others could see Missouri?" Erik asks
"Why?" Enterprise asks
"Well, at first I was skeptical then my officer runs up to me talking to me about a conversation he had with Atlanta, he trained on her a few decades ago and is 2 years from retirement. Imagine my surprise when she names him and even tells embarrassing stories from his time aboard her." Erik says smiling
"I think having Missouri acting as a tour guide and telling stories would really help the museum," Erik says
"Actually, where is Atlanta?" Enterprise says realizing the cruiser isn't here
=======================================
From the outside, it looked beautiful, pleasant, and modest. Bricks and huge, stone pillars made up most of the building's outer structure.
It's near impossible to see through the high windows, but the loud and passionate voices from within can be felt outside.
Looking into the pub through the decorated, wooden door, Several navy vets could be seen along with a lot of active service members. It was an impromptu reunion spurred on by one single pink-haired girl.
The bartender was working hard and barely managed to keep up with the crowd.
"CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!!!" Cheer several men.
The shipgirl was downing ale directly from the keg to the amusement of everyone there.
================================================
"Fine, I'll make it so everyone can see Missouri what is the worst that could happen?" Georgia asks
"Hey cousin, you plan on coming out?" Georgia asks standing aboard Missouri.
Suddenly a woman appears with long blonde hair. She looks rather tired as her outfit is showing some wear and tear.
The girl yawns before looking at the people who called out to her. "Enterprise?"
"Hello, Mighty Mo," Enterprise says with a smirk.
"I thought you were scrapped," Missouri says in shock.
"Like big E would die that easily," Georgia says with a snort.
"Wait you can all see me?" Missouri asks
All the ship girls nod.
"Yep, just waiting till we find Heerman as a razor blade," Georgia says
"O'bannon would be a toaster," Enterprise says
"Yes the taffy would manage to pull something like that off," Missouri says with a little mirth as well.
"So what brings you to my neck of the ocean?" Missouri asks
"We are sailing back home from Australia." Says a voice
Missouri turns around to see Salt Lake City and Independence.
"You!" Missouri says pointing at Georgia.
"Me?" Georgia asks
"I don't recognize you, yet IFF is reading you back as some cross between an Iowa and a Montana. You brought them back didn't you?" Missouri asks
Georgia just smiles.
"I'm your cousin that was never built. I'm USS Georgia, displacement wise I'm closer to a Montana, but speed and armor wise I'm closer to an Iowa. I have 3 double 18-inch turrets and a whole lot of Pittsburg Steel." Georgia says
"You sound a lot like grandma texas," Missouri says with a smile.
Enterprise laughs realizing that she does in fact seem similar to texas
"It's just a bit ol southern hospitality. Just because we both like sweet tea and spicy things doesn't mean we are the same. After all she shoots the freedom sedan while I shoot the minivan ." Georgia says
Salt Lake laughs with Independence following shortly afterward.
"So what are you here to do?" Missouri asks sitting down on one of the display shells used for the tours.
"A full repair of course," Georgia says touching the deck with her hand.
==================
To anyone watching the historic battleship that had the treaty signed on it flashed before it looked nearly brand new. The hull was painted and the guns were almost new with little wear on the rifling. Most of the corrosion due to time is gone, to steal a term from the brits it is Spic and span.
While also armed to the teeth.
============================
Missouri feels full of energy as her boilers nearly ignite.
Looking at the cousin who helped her she is a little worried as the girl in question is now standing unsteadily on her feet. It reminded her of when her crew from the midwest first stepped aboard.
"Are you okay?" Missouri asks
"That actually took a decent amount out of me. When was the last time you were dry-docked?" Georgia asks out of breath.
"I was supposed to be dry-docked in 1992 but active ships in the navy take priority and the navy is struggling to maintain its fleet with leviathan constantly attacking coastal cities that have naval bases," Missouri says shrugging
"Who cut the line?" Enterprise asks
"Kitty Hawk, I actually sailed with her a bit during Regans time. She's watching over Japan right now. Our ally is hurting." Missouri says
"The United States abandons its allies," Georgia mutters
"I don't think that's fair. We do try to help. They just need to learn to help themselves too." Enterprise says
'You obviously missed Afghanistan, China, Egypt, the CIA did that thing to Greece, then Panama.' Georgia thinks
There is a cough "are you all enjoying yourselves?"
All the ship girls look over to see Captain Erik.
"I think I'm doing a lot better now."
Missouri says
"I would say you are," Georgia says looking at Missouri.
"Could you make it so others could see Missouri?" Erik asks
"Why?" Enterprise asks
"Well, at first I was skeptical then my officer runs up to me talking to me about a conversation he had with Atlanta, he trained on her a few decades ago and is 2 years from retirement. Imagine my surprise when she names him and even tells embarrassing stories from his time aboard her." Erik says smiling
"I think having Missouri acting as a tour guide and telling stories would really help the museum," Erik says
"Actually, where is Atlanta?" Enterprise says realizing the cruiser isn't here

Panama was a wreck. The entire country was literally and figuratively on fire, mostly literally.
The canal was in ruins and General Manuel Noriega was still in power. The American base was abandoned, and there was empty hulls all along the coast and some even in the streets on both sides of the canal.
"Well, this is completely destroyed." Salt lake says
The girls were standing on the water looking at the entrance to the canal from the Pacific Ocean.
"I knew it would be bad but not this bad," Georgia says sadly.
"I'm astounded by our time." Independence says holding her bow.
"8 days. That's honestly impressive. Though maybe we could've been faster if we didn't stop at Hornet, Iowa, and Midway." Enterprise says
"You enjoyed seeing your sister and you know it," Georgia says
"Are we going to be able to get food here?" Knight asks
"It's probably not a good idea too. Why don't you girls run ahead and I'll be right behind?" Georgia asks
"You are looking for more of those cubes Huh?" Enterprise states
"I think we'll stop by the old naval base and raid the freezer the food might still be good," Atlanta says
"Fine just be careful," Georgia says
"We've been by it plenty of times," Enterprise says reassuringly.
Georgia nods trusting the fleet to meet her in the Gulf of Mexico. After spending a cube on each spirit they visited on the west coast to make them visible to humans and able to interact with the physical world she was down to 12 that could be used without sacrificing another spirit.
"I think I'll stick with you," Archerfish says having surfaced.
=========================
Taylor was cleaning up the basement to the house. She needed a place to hold her spiders that didn't scare her dad. He knew she was a cape and was fine with it, however, she needed to take care of her bugs.
So a box of stuff labeled desk decorations was being carried upstairs by the black-haired teen.
"Hey, dad? What's this box of stuff?" Taylor asks
"Oh? That, it's a box of knick-knacks your mom used to decorate her desk with." Danny says
"This thing is literally a plate of steel." Taylor deadpans pulling a hunk of metal out of the box.
"That plate of steel is a section of armor off of Warspite….." Danny says going silent.
Taylor looks at the metal plate in her hands in shock.
"Does mom have any other odd navy stuff in the house? I thought she was a literature professor." Taylor says
"Your mom had a masters in history and literature. Her main area of study was the Second World War. She was even an editor for James D Hornfisher." Danny says
"Do you think Warspite's spirit could be like Enterprise?" Taylor asks
"We will have to ask Georgia when she gets back. She was last seen off the coast of California heading south." Danny says
There was a knock at the door. Danny and Taylor looked at each other Taylor looked at the box in her hands before looking at her dad and nodding.
"I got it." Danny says
Taylor runs upstairs to her room with the box of stuff not wanting it to be seen.
"Ah, he finally made it. He wasn't kidding when he said the government was slow at making progress." Danny says walking over to the door.
The front door to the house opens to reveal a man in navy uniform standing there.
"Danny? You've certainly grown up Huh Kid."
"Captain Avatar," Danny says with a smile
The old bearded man grabs the rim of his captain's hat lifting up the front and showing an amazing smile.
"Danny you don't have to call me that anymore. In fact, I think I'm here for your boys today." Avatar says
"Right, the dry dock correct?" Danny asks
Functional dry docks were a rarity with the decline in shipping the need for them had almost dried up except for the navy and they had their own dry docks. So the fact that there was a new civilian dry dock really would help after that duel with game master.
"Yep Enterprise and Samuel B Robert's need some repair. The fact we don't have to sail them around South America to Pearl would help a lot." Avatar says before his phone rings.
A simple push of a button mutes the phone sending it to voicemail before the ringing starts again with a vengeance.
"Maybe you should get that?" Danny asks
Avatar looks at the phone before recoiling in shock.
"I do need to yes."
"Hello? Captian Avatar speaking?… what? No no, say it again, slower." Avatar says in complete confusion.
"What do you mean the Panama Canal just fixed itself and the fridge on the base is empty? What base?" Avatar asks
Danny watches the vice-admiral sigh tiredly.
"Danny, I have to run back to Norfolk. Probably stop by DC on the way. I'll be here when Enterprise and her escort group arrives though." Avatar says leaving the house in a hurry.
"The Panama Canal fixed? Do you think shipping could return?" Danny asks himself.
The canal was in ruins and General Manuel Noriega was still in power. The American base was abandoned, and there was empty hulls all along the coast and some even in the streets on both sides of the canal.

I would like to thank Mordai for writing the threat rating doc and giving me permission to use it. I actually have a spacebattle's contributor tag on my discord if any of you feel like writing or contributing to the story in any way.
I have been busy for the past bit going through my last two weeks at my previous job and I have had a rather packed training schedule for my new one. Hopefully, I'll get more free time to write soon.
=============================================================
March 5th, 2011.
A leaked document had been posted on PHO. To say something had broken the internet is rather common in the age of parahumans however to Dragon, This document literally set the sever room for the PHO website on fire crashing the entire site.
U.S. Department of Justice
Parahuman Response Team
Parahuman threat rating and recommended counter operations
Eyes only for level 3+
Authored by Legend additional notes by Strike Captain David Laumer
Casefile: MSSGBS-94
Alias: BB70
Name: [CLASSIFIED DIRECTOR LEVEL]
Ratings: it is believed that all of BB70's previous ratings are due to sandbagging when conducting initial power testing. This is supported by footage from the SIMURGHS attack on Canberra. Thus, the THINK-TANK has put together the following ratings for all directors and Level 3 personnel.
Brute: 11
BB70 has demonstrated a resilience for numerous munitions when conducting initial power testing. The Rating was increased when during the siege of Canberra, she had powered through entire buildings and alternately thrown through buildings. On top of the resilience, she has stated she can enforce up to 212 thousand horsepower in a pushing motion and 44 thousand horsepower in a pulling motion.
You heard the man the lady can take a beating what he isn't telling you is how much of a beating she can take. I had a chat with some of my buddies who where serving a tour on the Constitution, and they mentioned that BB means Battleship. The last battleship had the alpha numeric designation of BB-64, so we are looking at the resilience to take anything that isn't Naval grade artillery to the face and shrug it off. So, unless you have a literal ton of explosives don't shoot the lady. If you do, she has the strength to literally rip your arms out of their sockets and beat you to death with them.
Breaker: 0
The Breaker designation is simply the manifestation that allows BB70 to access most of her powers. The extent of her powers that are accessed when her breaker form is manifested is unknown. The manifestation of her breaker state appears to be a combination of a ship hull with her cape name painted on, as well as miniaturized guns ranging from what appear to be 5"/38 caliber guns to an unknown dual barreled main gun. She has also demonstrated the ability to change between either weighing at 64,000 Tones to 153 LBS this ability is separate from her rigging and thus it is safe to assume in a hostile situation that she is weighing at the former rather than the latter.
Don't have a lot of words from what the man the myth and the legend has already stated except when the rigging as my navy friends have taken to calling it is deployed in full be prepared to start paddling up shit creek. Now for anyone who can't convert a pound to a ton, its 2 thousand pounds to make a ton. So even if you wanted to move her, she can literally sit down and never move an inch no matter what you bring. The only way she is moving at the 64K tonnage side is if she wants to.
Mover: 3
BB70 has been stated on the record that she can theoretically run 40 knots for several hours. The conversion to a conventional speed states that she is capable of running up to 46 miles per hour, for what was recorded during testing at 3 hours.
Anyone remember their eighth-grade science class when Newtons 3 laws were discussed. This is confirmation that Newton is the scariest motherf***er on planet earth. Essentially, she can impact an object at 1,315,840,000N. Anyone who isn't a nerd this is basically flatten a city at top speed levels of force. This combined with her brute rating, and you realize that she can rip you apart with her bear hands, take all but heavy ordinance to hurt, and can run at speeds approaching Highway speeds and you have a very scary picture.
Shaker: 7
She can instantaneously repair any ship and break down a ship into a singularity for later use.
Ok self-explanatory she is the Navy's wet dream and the bane of dockworkers. The singularity thing is something that I had to research on, but I think it is better to give this a tinker sub-rating due to the sheer amount of whisky tango foxtrot energy this ability somehow has.
Master: 6
BB70 has demonstrated the ability to command others and they follow orders to the best of their ability. We have yet to determine what the limitations are however we have noted that this power effects those who have prior military experience.
So, what the Think-tank forgot was when looking over the footage and records from dragon she is using old military radio frequencies. When I asked my navy friends about it, they explained that you have one ship that is set up as the flagship. This ship has extra equipment for commanding a task group, which correlates with the frequencies used. Plus, I found a peculiar patch and when asking my friends, they explained that she is a W-5 whatever that is. But that apparently means that unless you have some stars, she can pretty much do what ever you want or something.
Tinker: 0 2
BB70 has demonstrated an ability to create modern military equipment and weapons that are related to ships.
Here I am gonna have to call bull, I got ahold of some footage watching several museums including one that had a good look and the Constitution. The camera was a tinkertech camera that had 18K definition and could capture the wings of a hummingbird with a thousand stills. Well in the footage BB70 temporarily turned the ship into a blue cube and then I guess somehow reversed the transformation. As mentioned in the shaker ratings, I don't know what that cube is, but I think it's some hammer-space that can repair ships and if that's not tinkertech then I don't know what is.
Thinker: 5
BB70 has demonstrated the ability to see and track objects in her a full 360-degree radius and up to 600 meters. She has alluded to being able to see further but refused to test due to safety concerns. She has informed the testers that she can track targets up to 30 miles. When testing to see how many objects she can track she managed to track it is noted that she can identify up to 500 objects past a certain size and actively track close to 200. It should be assumed that this is on the low end of what she can do.
She sees you when your patrolling, she knows when you are flying, she knows if you are a plane or not, so you back the hell off. This is another thing I asked my navy friends, apparently you can't have radar systems on when you get withing a certain distance to the coast because the waves will disrupt any radio signals and electronics and can literally cook a man standing in front of a radar dish while it is active. Speaking of can we reprimand the guys in charge of power testing because I don't want to have to report to a testing chamber because someone's hamster god nuked. Back to the thinker rating, well it is rather strait forward with her theme being a battleship then clearly this we are looking at an SC radar set equivalent. Old fashioned but legend is right she is probably low balling it so assume that if she is close to 30 miles away from anyone who cares, she can see you no matter if you are on the dirt or in a Helicopter.
Blaster 10 13
This is the only rating that we can safely confirm to be a subrating of her breaker form. The cannons that are mentioned in the breaker rating are capable of launching shells that have similar power to the normal sized projectiles. We have confirmed that she can shoot up to a 40mm anti-air round, and it is believed that the 5"/38s have a similar capability. Thinkers are still having trouble identifying the larger guns, but we can safely confirm to be at least 356mm capable gun.
So, she is a neigh unstoppable impossibly strong and absurdly fast killing machine, well guess what she doesn't need to get in melee to give you a bad day. She can do it at range with the equivalent of naval artillery. So when you combine her mover rating with her thinker rating with the ability to track and hit you if you are withing 15 miles from her and suddenly you realize she owns the place you are at, doesn't matter what you have she owns it. Back to classifying the ratings, once again I am going to call bull, the design of the guns means that they are a minimum of 16 inches. What Legend has not stated is the design of the turrets is different depending on the mark of the gun. Now I am not an expert, but the design is closer in line with the 16'/45 calibers of the Colorado's. Now if I am right which I wish I am not then that means that she has the capability to shoot katies, for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a f***ing nuke with a yield of 15-20 kilotons. With the potential of 6 of these falling on your head if you mess up bad enough each one has the equivalent power of the bomb that wiped out Hiroshima. Frankly I still think she should be given the Blaster yes designation on PHO.
Trump: 1
She has demonstrated the ability to manipulate thinker into a constant loop of and I quote "Is ship yes" this has made getting specifics difficult and resulting on higher ratings by a factor of 1
Gentlemen you heard the man the think tank and watch dog is useless on this and good old sleuthing is required. However, I did hear from the ENE base radar operator found a ship on scopes where there wasn't one. So, it's not just powers that she affects but also radar equipment. Good news about this is she is an easy target for radar guided missiles.
========================================================
Brockton Bay.
She was the dockyard, when she came alive is a tricky question. Though she remembers everyone who worked on her. Was she still dying? Slightly though with USS Georgia's plan she should recover once again.
"Um, Miss are you lost?" Kurt asks
"I'm fine Kurt. Just waiting for Georgia to get back." Bay says
"How do you know my name?" Kurt asks
"You're a member of my crew silly. Of course, I would know your name."
"I'm gonna call Danny," Kurt says
"Oh! He's my favorite commander almost as good as his father." The girl says happily.
"Uh Huh," Kurt says pulling out an old flip phone.
==================
Things at the PRT were going just swell. The sun was shining the birds were singing. And a top-secret document had leaked to the public.
Renick was in charge today since Piggot had an aneurism followed by her kidneys failing for the last time. She was on bed rest after Panacea had healed her since she was unconscious and unable to turn down the healing.
Was a medical staff member going to get fired over that decision, yes. However, he would make sure that they got a better job at another division of the protectorate.
"Colin… has your friend been able to remove the post?" Renick asks
"She's trying but we all know how the internet is. PHO has actually been taken offline 3 times." Armsmaster says
"Any news on who was responsible for the leak?" Renick asks
"Someone at an IP address in DC." Armsmaster answers
"This is a mess," Renick says as the phone rings once again.
"Navy?" Armsmaster asks
"Yep, wonder what they want?" Renick asks aloud.
========================
The sound of a dull thud is heard echoing throughout an underground bunker.
Coil's head was slamming into his desk in this timeline while in the main one he was talking to Lisa in a panic.
Unknown to Coil, Lisa was purposely feeding him false info thanks to the talk she had with Georgia over in Boston.
"Boss, I am telling you there is no way that report is accurate. There is no way one singular person can have that many different categories even for a grab bag. Maybe she isn't even a parahuman?" Lisa says purposely trying to get a rise out of Coil.
"What is she then?" Coil asks seething
"Well, if youve ever talked to a former naval service member they always seem to agree that their ship is alive right? I mean what if?" Lisa asks
"There was never a BB-70 built. Tattletale i need something else from your powers just anything." Coil says
"Well, boss you have her identity? What if you try to attack her while she's at work and not active as a cape?" Tattletale asks
"You know? That might actually work…" Coil says hanging up the phone while in his secondary timeline he had died from hitting the desk too hard with his head. It makes you wonder if he sustains brain damage between timelines.
I have been busy for the past bit going through my last two weeks at my previous job and I have had a rather packed training schedule for my new one. Hopefully, I'll get more free time to write soon.

But that apparently means that unless you have some stars, she can pretty much do what ever you want or something.
Tinker: 0 2
BB70 has demonstrated an ability to create modern military equipment and weapons that are related to ships.
Here I am gonna have to call bull, I got ahold of some footage watching several museums including one that had a good look and the Constitution. The camera was a tinkertech camera that had 18K definition and could capture the wings of a hummingbird with a thousand stills. Well in the footage BB70 temporarily turned the ship into a blue cube and then I guess somehow reversed the transformation. As mentioned in the shaker ratings, I don't know what that cube is, but I think it's some hammer-space that can repair ships and if that's not tinkertech then I don't know what is.
Thinker: 5
BB70 has demonstrated the ability to see and track objects in her a full 360-degree radius and up to 600 meters. She has alluded to being able to see further but refused to test due to safety concerns. She has informed the testers that she can track targets up to 30 miles. When testing to see how many objects she can track she managed to track it is noted that she can identify up to 500 objects past a certain size and actively track close to 200. It should be assumed that this is on the low end of what she can do.
She sees you when your patrolling, she knows when you are flying, she knows if you are a plane or not, so you back the hell off. This is another thing I asked my navy friends, apparently you can't have radar systems on when you get withing a certain distance to the coast because the waves will disrupt any radio signals and electronics and can literally cook a man standing in front of a radar dish while it is active. Speaking of can we reprimand the guys in charge of power testing because I don't want to have to report to a testing chamber because someone's hamster god nuked. Back to the thinker rating, well it is rather strait forward with her theme being a battleship then clearly this we are looking at an SC radar set equivalent. Old fashioned but legend is right she is probably low balling it so assume that if she is close to 30 miles away from anyone who cares, she can see you no matter if you are on the dirt or in a Helicopter.
Blaster 10 13
This is the only rating that we can safely confirm to be a subrating of her breaker form. The cannons that are mentioned in the breaker rating are capable of launching shells that have similar power to the normal sized projectiles. We have confirmed that she can shoot up to a 40mm anti-air round, and it is believed that the 5"/38s have a similar capability. Thinkers are still having trouble identifying the larger guns, but we can safely confirm to be at least 356mm capable gun.
So, she is a neigh unstoppable impossibly strong and absurdly fast killing machine, well guess what she doesn't need to get in melee to give you a bad day. She can do it at range with the equivalent of naval artillery. So when you combine her mover rating with her thinker rating with the ability to track and hit you if you are withing 15 miles from her and suddenly you realize she owns the place you are at, doesn't matter what you have she owns it. Back to classifying the ratings, once again I am going to call bull, the design of the guns means that they are a minimum of 16 inches. What Legend has not stated is the design of the turrets is different depending on the mark of the gun. Now I am not an expert, but the design is closer in line with the 16'/45 calibers of the Colorado's. Now if I am right which I wish I am not then that means that she has the capability to shoot katies, for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a f***ing nuke with a yield of 15-20 kilotons. With the potential of 6 of these falling on your head if you mess up bad enough each one has the equivalent power of the bomb that wiped out Hiroshima. Frankly I still think she should be given the Blaster yes designation on PHO.
Trump: 1
She has demonstrated the ability to manipulate thinker into a constant loop of and I quote "Is ship yes" this has made getting specifics difficult and resulting on higher ratings by a factor of 1
Gentlemen you heard the man the think tank and watch dog is useless on this and good old sleuthing is required. However, I did hear from the ENE base radar operator found a ship on scopes where there wasn't one. So, it's not just powers that she affects but also radar equipment. Good news about this is she is an easy target for radar guided missiles.
========================================================
Brockton Bay.
She was the dockyard, when she came alive is a tricky question. Though she remembers everyone who worked on her. Was she still dying? Slightly though with USS Georgia's plan she should recover once again.
"Um, Miss are you lost?" Kurt asks
"I'm fine Kurt. Just waiting for Georgia to get back." Bay says
"How do you know my name?" Kurt asks
"You're a member of my crew silly. Of course, I would know your name."
"I'm gonna call Danny," Kurt says
"Oh! He's my favorite commander almost as good as his father." The girl says happily.
"Uh Huh," Kurt says pulling out an old flip phone.
==================
Things at the PRT were going just swell. The sun was shining the birds were singing. And a top-secret document had leaked to the public.
Renick was in charge today since Piggot had an aneurism followed by her kidneys failing for the last time. She was on bed rest after Panacea had healed her since she was unconscious and unable to turn down the healing.
Was a medical staff member going to get fired over that decision, yes. However, he would make sure that they got a better job at another division of the protectorate.
"Colin… has your friend been able to remove the post?" Renick asks
"She's trying but we all know how the internet is. PHO has actually been taken offline 3 times." Armsmaster says
"Any news on who was responsible for the leak?" Renick asks
"Someone at an IP address in DC." Armsmaster answers
"This is a mess," Renick says as the phone rings once again.
"Navy?" Armsmaster asks
"Yep, wonder what they want?" Renick asks aloud.
========================
The sound of a dull thud is heard echoing throughout an underground bunker.
Coil's head was slamming into his desk in this timeline while in the main one he was talking to Lisa in a panic.
Unknown to Coil, Lisa was purposely feeding him false info thanks to the talk she had with Georgia over in Boston.
"Boss, I am telling you there is no way that report is accurate. There is no way one singular person can have that many different categories even for a grab bag. Maybe she isn't even a parahuman?" Lisa says purposely trying to get a rise out of Coil.
"What is she then?" Coil asks seething
"Well, if youve ever talked to a former naval service member they always seem to agree that their ship is alive right? I mean what if?" Lisa asks
"There was never a BB-70 built. Tattletale i need something else from your powers just anything." Coil says
"Well, boss you have her identity? What if you try to attack her while she's at work and not active as a cape?" Tattletale asks
"You know? That might actually work…" Coil says hanging up the phone while in his secondary timeline he had died from hitting the desk too hard with his head. It makes you wonder if he sustains brain damage between timelines.

March 6th 2011
The sun was rising over the edge of the water in the distance. Georgia and Archerfish have been searching for Enterprise and have yet to find the task group.
"Maybe they are already at Huston?" Archerfish asks
"… I think they got lost," Georgia says
"As long as they don't repeat grandma Texas' shakedown cruise they should be fine," Archerfish says
"Please if those girls are raiding anything it's a pantry. I really doubt they are going to capture a town in Mexico. Yep, they definitely wouldn't do that at all." Georgia says speeding up by a significant amount on the water.
=====================
"Salt Lake!" Atlanta shouts in a whine.
"No! I have discovered that the heat from my gun barrels can be used to cook hot dogs. so they shall do so." Salt lake says with finality.
"And you still want your triple 8inch guns turned into two 10inch guns? Because I don't think you would be able to stuff a hot dog down the barrel then." Atlanta says
"That's fine, I'll tie it to the surface guidance radar. I mean it cooked the thanksgiving Turkey well enough." Salt City says smiling
Enterprise sighs if it wasn't for the fact her damage control crew and Salt Lake's damage control crew used to exchange pointers and tactics. She wouldn't be used to the green-haired cruiser's antics. She still remembers the time that a maintenance mechanic decided to his underwear to the inside of a Dauntless's dive break to dry them out after washing.
"So this is Huston? It's changed a lot." Atlanta says
"Why are the buildings showing signs of water damage," Knight asks
"It was probably hit by the aftermath of whatever hit Panama." Independence says
"Oh! I see grandma texas! Her 14 inches look a lot bigger than I thought they would." Gregory says
"That's her alright. The last time I saw her was when she was underway to Okinawa and I was returning for repairs." Enterprise says recognizing Texas.
"Permission to come aboard!" John C Butler shouts.
A few seconds pass the girls standing in a formation on top of the water. listening for radio traffic.
The static of an old vacuum tube radio responds with an "affirm" before cutting out.
=============================
Texas was excited. She was picking up old radio waves that were used back in the war.
They were quite a distance away and the signal was too weak for her communications suite, however, she just knew that Georgia was on her way. After all she had visited most of the museum ships on the west coast before reportedly heading south.
"It would be nice for people to be able to see me when I interact with them," Texas says with a smile.
Missouri already had a dedicated PHO account and several dozens of historians were losing their collective shit.
"This is gonna be so much fun," Texas says smiling.
The news channel was on speed dial and several of her surviving crew members were flown in and spending the week in the hotel.
Would the navy have done that normally? Maybe but unlikely. However, the reports of the Panama Canal being repaired received a lot of attention on BB-70's next destination.
Texas feels a Volunteer call her name. It was David, he's been coming here for a few years now. Though he sounded nervous.
Texas appears in the old boiler room right in front of the man.
"I don't know if you're here or not. But you've no doubt heard me complain about Keith and Rebbeca. About my job, if you could maybe not mention who I am and what I do? As a small favor to the grandson of Baker?" David asks
Texas is a little shocked because her former captain didn't have any children as far as she was aware.
"Ah, right here," David says putting down a pencil.
"North for yes south for no," David says
Texas gathers her remaining strength to move the pencil so it pointed north. It was rather straining considering she used most of her energy to make her curator and crew coffee earlier in the morning.
========================
Hours later.
Georgia and Archerfish pull into Huston.
Georgia praying to whatever she would as a ship girl that the city is not on fire.
"See I told you it wouldn't be in flames," Archerfish says
"I guess Eidolon hasn't found out that they are here," Georgia says with relief.
"Who?" Archerfish asks
"He's one of those superhero's one of the strongest ones. Probably the only one besides maybe Alexandria that could stop an AP 5inch shell. A few others could become impervious to them. However, he would probably be hit and then the shell would flaten." Georgia says
"Interesting," Archerfish says
"Yeah luckily we have a few heavy hitters here," Georgia says smiling
The USS Texas was surrounded by a news crew and several veterans it looked almost like a last-minute barbecue/ tailgate.
"Is that my former navigator?" Archerfish whispers in excitement noticing a crew member almost immediately.
"Go to them. I mean look at everyone else. It's a family reunion." Georgia says with a smile
The sub nods enthusiastically running ashore.

Georgia was looking at the spirit of Texas.
To say she isn't a little bit intimidated would be a lie.
The spirit looked relatively young however they all did except for Constitution for some reason.
Texas having cat ears was something Georgia wouldn't have expected from the super Dreadnought. Even still the stare-down was slightly entertaining.
"Enterprise vouched for you. In truth, I was excited about finally being repaired. However, with the recent mess you caused in Australia and all the girls I am seeing. It has the navy jumpy. Something, something master, some good folks are getting scared. The bad ones even more so." Texas says staring down the never built battleship.
"Well, do you have any sweet tea? New England just doesn't make it right. We can talk about it over drinks or I'm fairly certain I saw a Cracker Barrel down the road. Though my crew is now telling me there is a What A Burger nearby and I'm wondering if they are still serving breakfast." Georgia says
"Are you trying to stereotype me? I mean cause if so you forgot that chicken place." Texas says
"Chick fil a is closed on Sundays. Everyone should know that." Georgia says
Texas is just looking at Georgia.
"I can still call you grandma right? And what I did is nothing compared to your shake-down cruise." Georgia says
"What did I do in during my shake-down cruise?" Texas asks rhetorically.
"Tampico? Or did you think I was referring to the time you ran aground and New York came by to cheer you on?" Georgia asks
Texas smiles a little.
"Not many folks around remember those things. I mean back in my day" Texas says with a smile at the memory.
Georgia starts giggling at that statement.
"What did they do use mules to build battleships?" Georgia asks rhetorically
"They actually did. I remember the ramp those poor things had to haul my steel armor up." Texas remarks
"Okay miss gangster lean," Georgia says with simile
"... You know a lot, what blackmail material do you have on me?" Texas asks
"One of the first ships with an anti-aircraft gun. Sitting on top of an anti-aircraft tower." Georgia says with a grin.
Does texas flinch a little at the mention of the cursed anti-aircraft tower? Yes yes, she does.
"Or the cobra blood incident," Georgia says
"That one wasn't my fault!" Texas shouts
"They were your marines!" Georgia shouts back
The two battleships eventually break out into giggles.
"So sweet tea?" Texas asks
"Yes please," Georgia responds, following the older spirit.
===================
Taylor was watching the news. Georgia had shown up in Texas after pummeling the end bringer.
"Dad? Did we do the right thing by trusting her? It's going to put you at risk." Taylor says
"I don't think we'll have any problems," Danny says with a smile
"What makes you say that?" Taylor asks a little bit sarcastically.
"I met a rather intriguing girl today, she called herself Brockton bay and said she was an installation," Danny says
"A what now?" Taylor asks
"Miss Enterprise!" The tv barks
"Yes?" Enterprise says on the
"Georgia's identity has been leaked at this point right? How do you plan on defending her?"
"You're kidding, right? You do realize us ships have very few nonlethal options. So if someone challenged her in her civilian persona they aren't going home. On top of that, it may be an open secret, however, it's still a secret if someone breaks the unwritten rules we will respond in kind." Enterprise answers
"Like that threat BB-70 made on PHO?"
"Exactly that threat." Enterprise says before turning around and continuing to talk to a vet in a wheelchair.
"Hello, big E." An old man says with a smile his walker had an oxygen tank attached to it. The man himself was in full-dressed whites and was clearly weighed down by the number of metals attached to the uniform.
"Dick best? Aren't you 101? I'm am surprised to see you up and about." Enterprise says in shock.
"I am as well to be completely honest though I think I'm too stubborn to die like yourself." Best says with a smile.
"I get that, I personally clung on to my stern plate as they were ripping my body apart. There were several times where I thought I would cease to exist then Georgia found me." Enterprise says smiling.

March 7th 2011
Emily Piggot was watching a sinking ship.
From her personal contacts in the court system, this case would destroy the reputation of the protectorate east northeast. Luckily it's also destroying the youth guard, and Emily kept the emails and recordings of the conversation where her boss told her too bad about the mess that was shadow stalker. Luckily Maine was a one-party consent state. So she was going to get off next to free and probably get early retirement.
(No clue if it is or not.)
"I still don't understand why they won't take a settlement!" The lawyer shouts
"That would be because they want to take this to court," Piggot says
The lawyers and Tagg look at her.
"It's a matter of principle for them. To top it all off they are hiding behind one of the most powerful capes in the world." Piggot says
"I still say we should arrest her and force her into the PRT," Tagg says
"Yes, piss off a battleship and the navy at the same time why don't you," Armsmaster says blandly
"The navy?" Piggot asks
"According to Dragon, ONI has been poking around to places BB-70 has been and is likely to go." Armsmaster says
"Why would oni want to deal with her?" Tagg says
Several of the lawyer's facepalm. Everyone has heard of the reopening of the Panama Canal
"So, we're fucked?" Legend asks his voice coming from the video call.
"Royally so," Piggot says
"Just because!"
"No that's not!"
Several voices are doing what the peanut gallery does and it was loud.
"That woman with the white hair was the USS Enterprise, I might be strong but even I would have a tough time against those girls. We all saw BB-70 fight The Simurgh we've all seen her threat rating. So I think we should approach this calmly cause even I don't want this fight." Eidolon admits, silencing everyone.
Was it because David had met her the day before? Maybe, however, he knew ships his favorite thing to do in his downtime wouldn't be to volunteer at the Texas ship museum if he didn't know ships. And Georgia is a ship he did not want to fight.

March 9th 2011,
Newport News Virginia
The USS Monitor, that was her name.
In truth, the replica gave her something nice to inhabit compared to the trinkets that were recovered from her wreck.
The news of that battleship theme cape making her way around the country making the ship's spirits visible to the humans had her excited; however, her ship and museum was out of the way. There is no way they would know to stop there.
She has been alone for years with few visitors since they pulled her up from the bottom of the river.
She wouldn't get her hopes up though, who would want to visit her?
"No one, that's who…" Monitor mutters sitting down in the spot that would be home to her boiler.
Then again Hunely was visited by the mysterious battleship. So who was to say she would be ruled out?
People outside started shouting. At first in worry then amazement.
One of her guides had recognized what was happening.
The fact that an escort carrier had not been seen in nearly half a decade ever since the museum ship failed and had to be scrapped. The fate of all ships who couldn't get enough visitors… the scrap yard…
She loses herself in her thoughts, forgetting that there are supposed to be no escort carriers left.
The USS Independence was sailing into port, its deck lined with aircraft was a rather impressive sight.
The TBF's The F4F's and the SBD-3's were a magnificent sight to behold to all who would watch.
The people around her eventually disappeared over the period of an hour, not even the tour guide had disappeared. I mean she was seeing significantly more people these days than she had in the past few years. Likely because of that BB-70 cape old ships were beginning to get attention again. Something about ship spirits coming to life and giving tours and telling stories themselves.
That was when a girl walked in and for some reason, Monitor shivered looking at the Yellow and blue eyes. It's been so long since the ironclad has made eye contact with anyone. Let alone someone acknowledging her existence.
"Hello."
==========================================
1 hour ago.
Georgia was watching Independence steer herself. It was surreal to be honest the Escort carrier maneuvered herself well beyond what she should've been able to do.
I mean at one point Eurobeat should've been blasting when the carrier docked. She was drifting sideways, managing to stop just within a foot of the birthing.
The gangway was dropped down as the escort group was ready to give surprise tours to the people visiting the monitor museum.
Georgia herself however would be exploring the museum that had a replica of the USS Monitor and it's not the actual thing like the Hunley. Though Archerfish constantly calling Hunely grandma was rather entertaining. She still had to check she would never forgive herself if she forgot to save a family member.
All the patrons at the museum were aboard independence while the town seemed to buzz to life at the impromptu meet and greet from the ship girls. A cape team named AzurLane had been established on PHO though she hasn't filed the paperwork for it yet.
Georgia shakes her head from her musings as she arrives at the museum and gets a good look at the model Monitor.
A small ramp led up and on to the model ship which Georgia marched up with ease. Before crawling down into the space which would've held the boiler.
Georgia notices a small girl sitting in the corner alone. Her eyes seem to be nearly empty, devoid of emotion.
"Hello?" Georgia asks trying to get her attention.
"I guess I wasn't forgotten" Monitor mutters happily.
Monitor had not been this happy since her duel with CSS Virginia at the Gosport navy yard. Virginia was her fated foe after all. She was built to counter the confederate Ironclad being built. The fact that the south was building the CSS Virginia wasn't even a secret; it appeared in both northern and southern newspapers often with regular updates on the progress of the ship.
"Of course, I wouldn't forget you, you're family after all." Georgia says with a smile patting Monitor's head.
"I'm older than you," Monitor says pouting.
"Sorry, I blame archerfish. She keeps asking for head pats." Georgia says with a smile
"So? How does this work?" Monitor asks
"Just stand still and it's gonna sting a little," Georgia says pulling out a blue cube.
Newport News Virginia
The USS Monitor, that was her name.
In truth, the replica gave her something nice to inhabit compared to the trinkets that were recovered from her wreck.
The news of that battleship theme cape making her way around the country making the ship's spirits visible to the humans had her excited; however, her ship and museum was out of the way. There is no way they would know to stop there.
She has been alone for years with few visitors since they pulled her up from the bottom of the river.
She wouldn't get her hopes up though, who would want to visit her?
"No one, that's who…" Monitor mutters sitting down in the spot that would be home to her boiler.
Then again Hunely was visited by the mysterious battleship. So who was to say she would be ruled out?
People outside started shouting. At first in worry then amazement.
One of her guides had recognized what was happening.
The fact that an escort carrier had not been seen in nearly half a decade ever since the museum ship failed and had to be scrapped. The fate of all ships who couldn't get enough visitors… the scrap yard…
She loses herself in her thoughts, forgetting that there are supposed to be no escort carriers left.
The USS Independence was sailing into port, its deck lined with aircraft was a rather impressive sight.
The TBF's The F4F's and the SBD-3's were a magnificent sight to behold to all who would watch.
The people around her eventually disappeared over the period of an hour, not even the tour guide had disappeared. I mean she was seeing significantly more people these days than she had in the past few years. Likely because of that BB-70 cape old ships were beginning to get attention again. Something about ship spirits coming to life and giving tours and telling stories themselves.
That was when a girl walked in and for some reason, Monitor shivered looking at the Yellow and blue eyes. It's been so long since the ironclad has made eye contact with anyone. Let alone someone acknowledging her existence.
"Hello."
==========================================
1 hour ago.
Georgia was watching Independence steer herself. It was surreal to be honest the Escort carrier maneuvered herself well beyond what she should've been able to do.
I mean at one point Eurobeat should've been blasting when the carrier docked. She was drifting sideways, managing to stop just within a foot of the birthing.
The gangway was dropped down as the escort group was ready to give surprise tours to the people visiting the monitor museum.
Georgia herself however would be exploring the museum that had a replica of the USS Monitor and it's not the actual thing like the Hunley. Though Archerfish constantly calling Hunely grandma was rather entertaining. She still had to check she would never forgive herself if she forgot to save a family member.

========================================================
March 8th 2011
Georgia and Enterprise were driving through the state of Florida.
The state had seen better days. Disney had pulled out and failed after the 9 visited Disney California. The Zombie Mickey Mouse's running around attacking park guests did a lot to the Disney brand. Miami was fully underwater, and Meritt island was a ghost town. The island which in another world would be the spot for space tourism was abandoned.
"Are you sure that this is the right place Georgia?" Enterprise asks looking out the window of the borrowed tan honda odyssey.
"Yes, it is. Though this isn't how I remember it." Georgia says sadly.
Minutes later Georgia rolls up to a military checkpoint.
"Ma'am, are you lost?" The guard asks
One could hear the audible click of the safety being turned off of his M-16.
"I'm just trying to get to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor's complex," Georgia says
"It's been closed ever since the incident in 81." The guard says
"What happened in 81?" Georgia asks
The guard looks at Georgia skeptically. "Columbia was lost with all hands, between that and the golden man it killed the space program."
The radio suddenly barks to life on the guard's shoulder.
"Ma'am… I don't know who you are but they are saying to let you through. There are things the public yet doesn't know about. I suggest you stay quiet about them."
The guard heads back into the checkpoint and opens the gate for Georgia and Enterprise.
"I kinda wish we brought Independence and her escorts," Enterprise says
"I know right? I smell a mystery." Georgia says driving forward in the reappropriated van.
=======================================
Georgia pulled up to the visitor center parking lot from her memories. The place was severely weathered and the concrete was cracked. There was a total of 3 cars in the lot.
"Georgia, why is it so empty?" Enterprise asks, trying to ignore the gloomy atmosphere.
"I don't know," Georgia says, putting the van into the park.
Enterprise opened the door and stepped out of the van.
Georgia was short to follow.
"I guess, we should head on in," Georgia says walking towards the ticket booth.
The first thing Georgia saw was a stone monument before she even came close to the rocket garden.
=================================================================================================
=================================================================================================
Georgia collapsed onto her knees upon reading that plaque.
"That's not what was supposed to happen. Scion didn't even appear until 82. The timeline should've been the same till then." Georgia mutters horrified.
"The disrepair is quite a sight isn't it?" A voice says behind Georgia and Enterprise.
========================================================
James Hansen was the name of their guide.
It felt familiar to Georgia yet she couldn't tell why.
"I just want to say thank you for that pounding you gave the Simurgh," Hansen says
"What happened to this place." Georgia asked
"The golden man and the tinkers happened." Hansen
"It got this bad? What happened with the shuttle? I mean Columbia's launch was known to be a test launch. It being lost should've been a set back not the death of the space program." Georgia says
"You're correct, Challenger should've been done in 1983 instead. It's still half put together in a hangar. Congress cut the budget after STS-1, then the Parahumans showed up. They cut more budget, and someone showed our administrator the video footage from aboard Columbia and it was suspended indefinitely." Hansen answers
"Footage of Columbia?" Georgia asked
Hansen nods to himself.
"I can show you, your vice admiral friend gave you some amazing clearance. We found the camera intact among the debris." Hansen says
The trio walked toward where the IMAX should've been. Instead, it was an old theater that smelled of mold. The interior looked like it hadn't been updated since the 70s.
"You two take a seat, I am going to go start the film," Hansen says
"Thank you," Enterprise says knowing Georgia is still in shock.
=========================
The film begins several minutes into the launch.
"Crew is cleared 73 nautical miles down range." Mission control
"It's a pretty bumpy ride. Feel's like my truck." John Young says
The blue sky begins to turn dark.
"Velocity reading now 16 thousand 4 hundred feet per second." Mission control
The curve of the earth is clearly visible and it is an amazing sight even on an old film camera.
" Standing by for single engine press to Miko, call out from capcom, Brandon sight." Mission control
It's a tense few seconds as the shuttle begins to enter a suborbital path.
" From here you're a single engine. Press for Miko. You're good for orbital insertion even if two engines go out."
"Mark 7 minutes 30 seconds. Columbia, 67 nautical miles altitude, 4 hundred 85 down range."
"G force's building you're now up to 3 Gs."
"We are really feeling, it now." John Young says
"Mark, 7 minutes 45 seconds."
The entire camera view jolt's violently
"Master alarm going off!" John Young shouts
"Code 7700," Robert Crippen reiterates
"The cabin is depressurizing." Mission Control
"We Read you on the ground Columbia. Keep those suits on." Mission control
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!" John's panicked voice is picked up over the radio
The film camera facing out of the window had the Simurgh looking directly into it. A cruel smile on its face as its wings came down and sliced off the wing of Columbia.
"It's an Ang-" Robert's sentence was cut off as radio contact was lost.
The Orbiter was shredded by the end bringer.
The film camera goes fuzzy before it catches the flames of re-entry.
The camera cuts off again only to capture itself tumbling along the ground before facing upwards. It caught bits of debris falling to the ground.
It sat like that for several minutes shaking slightly as the pieces of the spacecraft hit the ground.
======================================================
Georgia was clenching her hand. She had cut herself with her fingernails and was bleeding oil.
"That was 1981! Why was she there!" Georgia shouts.
"Shortly after that encounter, we started losing satellites by the dozen, Eventually decades of progress in space exploration was halted. We lost contact with our probes with nothing to relay the signal and every sattalite we put up she would knock down." Hansen says
"Our rematch will be much more decisive." Georgia state's flatly wishing she had used Katie shells and just killed the false angel in Australia.
"Why is this secret?" Enterprise asks
An endbringer appearing 20 years before her first known appearance should be a big deal.
"Regan, when he saw the footage back in 1981 didn't know that it was a monster. He didn't want it to be known that an angel of the lord had decided mankind didn't deserve to explore the heavens. Knowing what we know now, we know that monster isn't God's angel as much as Eden's gate and the Fallen argue otherwise." Hansen says
Enterprise nods "And you couldn't get the executive order overturned."
"Yep, trying to get an audience with the president in this current political climate is impossible too, why do we need engineers? We got tinkers. There are so many problems on earth, why would we need to go to space? Especially since SHE is blocking us from going beyond low earth orbit." Hansen says with as much spite as possible.
"Tinkers have ruined technological progress. I mean theoretically, we could copy what they do with rarer metals. However, the last time a device was made without a tinker tech component was 1995." Georgia says
Dragon Enterprises produced CPU chips at the cheap which was tinker tech it was impossible for manufacturers to match especially at the price the scrap component tinker tech device could get. That was one example of many, the tech was black-boxed by the space whale and ultimately damaged humanity in the long term.
Hansen nods in understanding.
"What would you two like to see?" Hansen asks
"Could you do the bus tour?" Georgia asks
Hansen looks at Georgia in shock.
"We don't really have the buses anymore, I could do a van tour for you," Hansen says
"I want to show Enterprise the Saturn V building. The Apollo program is something her daughter took part in so I think she would enjoy learning about it." Georgia says
Hansen looks at Enterprise with a critical eye.
"We can do that… So, the rumors are true?" Hansen asks
"That's right, she is CVN-6 and I am BB-70. USS Enterprise and USS Georgia respectively." Georgia says
"Well, you're not a Montana from what I've seen of the pictures so your the 18-inch gun paper ship which was never actually built.." Hansen says
"That's correct," Georgia says
A van suddenly rolls up to the area by the constellation ball where the bus terminal would've been in another world, in another time.
The old astronaut transfer van was still running, when in truth the Clark-Cortez motorhome long since belonged in a museum. The van had been running astronauts to the pad since the first Apollo missions.
"Well, let's go see a moon rocket," Hansen says

Of
The crew of STS-1.
The gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made,
With Columbia, again the price was paid.

Georgia was following the old battle carrier, she was following the guided tour in awe.
Georgia was remembering a better time on a different earth. She had an annual pass to this place here every weekend she had off. She went to visit or see a launch. The last flight of the shuttle, the first successful Falcon 9, falcon heavy, and the Space Launch System were all a sight to see.
"So, the false angel started knocking down satellites and did nothing else after Columbia?" Georgia asks
"Every rocket we sent up was knocked down, the soviet Soyuz couldn't make it to space either. She's been up there doing nothing but stopping our progress into space. There was a gag order threatening anyone who talked about her with treason. Technically I am breaking it right now, but no one will charge me. She first appeared on earth in 2002, though we knew it was likely she would come down after Behemoth showed up.
Georgia is trapped in thought while Enterprise asks about the F1 engine.
Timeline-wise, it would make sense for Scion and Eden to try and land around the end of 1979. The Simurgh was activated first, probably something like stop the experiments from escaping. It was likely Eden's crash and following death is the only reason why all the other endbringer's weren't active until Eidolon.
"Right, Georgia?" Enterprise asks
"I'm sorry I was lost in thought," Georgia says blinking at Enterprise.
"I was saying that there is no way the soviets stood a chance when we had something as amazing as this." Enterprise says
"True, although the N1 was pretty genius in its own right." Georgia says
"You have details on the N1!?" Hansen shouts in shock
Georgia pauses again realizing the Iron curtain never fell here.
"Most of my knowledge is useless after 1989. Unless it's about the Slava of the black sea fleet." Georgia says
Hansen is shaking "H-how?"
Georgia smile's knowing that her smartphone could tell her anything about the old soviet union of her earth since most of the files leaked before Russia managed to resurrect the rust-covered iron curtain with dozens of holes in it a few decades later.
"We need to keep this quiet. The soviets would come after you in a heartbeat." Hansen says
"I could prepare an info packet. Though I am surprised that rusty old curtain is still up." Georgia says
"Not only is it up, but the B-52s are also still flying and the DEW line is still manned as unlikely as bombers are," Hansen says
"We still got nukes? I thought that the end bringers target those, I mean look at Behemoth getting the reactors and Leviathan sinking the nuclear subs as well. That Sunami in japan created an absolute ton of radioactive water." Georgia says
"We knew it was bad but, if they are deliberately attacking places with nuclear power or weapons it's a whole lot worse. Is anyone else aware of this?" Hansen asks
"I can give you a copy of my findings however I am not certain if the world is ready for that just yet. It seems a bit, much." Georgia says
"Can you possibly pass your info on the soviet union up through your admiral friend?" Hansen asks
"Sure, and I personally wish I had more info on the CIU. I don't near know enough about the Yagbang and the crap they pull." Georgia says
Hansen was starting to feel faint because she was mentioning organizations that were whispers in the intelligence community. His friends in the CIA would pay big money to pick her brain.
"Could we maybe see Challenger?" Georgia asks looking at her phone.
"I mean sure," Hansen says
