What did I do wrong? As I continue sinking to the depths, my entire life flashes before my eyes. All the guilt, the secrets kept from everyone, unconfessed feelings, they all rush to the forefront of my thoughts and I'm overwhelmed by them. Consumed in grief and sorrow, I reach out for anything, anyone, to help me but no one answers my call. Instead, I'm left all alone. 

Images from the battle flash before my eyes but are quickly overtaken by one of me standing proud

Images from the battle flash before my eyes but are quickly overtaken by one of me standing proud. Yes, if I must die at the very least I should die remembering myself as the pride of the Royal Navy. My queen's most prized vessel.  

As a smile fixates itself on my face, doubt starts creeping in once more

As a smile fixates itself on my face, doubt starts creeping in once more. Is that really how everyone else views me or is that merely my own perception of myself? As I continue the internal debate, my surroundings darken even further until but a small beam of light remains. I'm approaching the end. The last thing I remember is a deep sense of regret and longing before blacking out.

BOOM!

An explosive force propels me from the depths and up into the sky. For a brief moment, I am weightless before plummeting back towards the waves. 

SPLASH!

As I resurface, I immediately notice I'm different. In fact, everything about me is very different. For starters, I've got to be the most heavily armed battleship in existence plus I'm donning what can only be described as Iron Blood colours and...are those my pets? 

AWEEE They're so cute. 

I'm not sure why, but I don't feel particularly disturbed by the fact that I'm not dressed in the colours of those who were once my enemies. In fact, I'd have to say I'm feeling better than ever. It's strange, but I feel so liberated...so free. It's as though I can do anything!

????: Wha-

????: Where did she come from?

Turning around, I'm surprised to find myself staring at an Iron Blood fleet. There's Bismark, Prinz Eugen and even Roon too. There's Z23, Deutschland and even Tirpitz! Awe...they must've come to meet me. To think they'd be so kind!

Bismark: Uhh...Hood?

Me: Why thank you for coming to get me! I am KMS Hood and starting today, I'll be working with you!
