Leaving the others, Yat-Sen leads the way as we make for an isolated part of the drydocks nearby. Surprisingly, Jiangsu wanted to stay behind with the other girls so after making sure that someone's watching her, I left her behind. Now, as we walk past the armed guards stationed outside the building, I can see that was the right choice. No need for her to be more nervous than she'd already be by being in a new location, even if it is merely an older version of our home.
????: Ahh, you've indeed returned, my Empress.
Me: Reign...
Reign: I-
Yat-Sen: We're here-
Reign: I know why you're here but as I'd told you, she isn't ready.
Me: I'm merely here to check her progress.
Reign: Well, we've finished creating the ship but...well, you'll see.
She turns and leads us further into the building but it's not long before we arrive in an open space. Before us, floating on the water of what seems like an oversized pool, is a girl I've yet to meet. She must be the...
Reign: You lost again, didn't you?
The girl doesn't respond but I can tell she's embarrassed, albeit also finds me curious. I guess it makes sense since she wouldn't generally have any idea who I am unless she's seen some sort of imagery with me in it.
????: Heya!
Reign: As you can see, there's much work to be done.
Me: That depends on what you're evaluating them on.
Reign: Well-
Me: What're your names?
????: I am T1 and this is T2.
Turns to face Reign...
Me: You didn't give them names?
Reign: I figured you'd want to name them, what with them being your-
Yat-Sen: Shhh!
Me: My what?
Reign: Well...it's a surprise, I guess.
Unsure of what that's supposed to mean, I refocus on the girls but find that they are already back to training, or whatever it is Reign had them doing. It appears to be a simulated battle of sorts with live ammunition and even though I've just arrived, I can tell there's a clear difference in skill level between the two girls.
Me: [So, when were you going to tell me there were two?]
Yat-Sen: [I figured it'd be better to just show you. Reign'd also be much better explaining why.]
Me: [I highly doubt-]
Jiangsu: [Uhmm. I'm detecting some ships coming towards the harbour.]
Me: [How many?]
Jiangsu: [At least thirty?]
Me: [What?]
