After that message was sent, everyone in there went silent, either what they did was right, or that Stennis was one step ahead of all of them. That was until Monarch came in.

Monarch: So, you are aware? Do you mind explaining what happened at Iris Libre?

QE: It is their fault! They attacked us with Vichiya Dominion! And Iris Lible joined them to destroy us!

Monarch: (glares) What have you done to make them attack you?! I'm pretty sure they didn't attack you for absolutely no reason!

QE: (stares sweating) Hum...nothing! Nothing at all!

Monarch: (grits teeth) I know you are lying! SO, SAY THE DAMN TRUTH!

Stennis: ENOUGH! I ALREADY SENT THEM AN APOLOGY MESSAGE AND 4 OF MY AIRCRAFT TO HELP THEM! (slams the table repeatedly)

(The theme inside today is "Friendly fire" from Ace Combat 7)

QE: Fine...I went there to see the reason why the stopped reporting. After that they said that they wanted to leave Azur Lane, I ordered my fleet to shoot at them.

Monarch: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! (slams the table next to her)

QE: Eeek...we almost sunk them until Vichiya Dominion intervened by shooting us-

Stennis: That is bullshit they never fired when I did my turn to also fire.

Monarch: Impressive. Just when I thought you couldn't be lower than that, you managed to get even lower.

QE: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!

Stennis: (fires at a bulletproof glass window) If you want this personal, then I'll do it personal, fire a RSM-56 Nuclear warhead, and I'll send my own craft to take care of this problem!

He slams the door leaving, he takes out the B-1R and lets it take off, as well as he and his F-18, and at the same time, the RSM-56 is launched, they were silent until they saw the computer screens light up to one message.

DEFCON 1, NUCLEAR WEAPONRY IS AUTHORIZED

another one says.

NUCLEAR WINTER IMMINENT = FINE PARTICLES BLOCK THE SUN ARRAYS AND CAUSE COLD AREAS AROUND THE WORLD

and the last one says.

YOU MADE THIS PERSONAL, NOW I DO IT MY WAY, FOR MY OWN RULES, IT ISN'T WORTH FOLLOWING THE SAME PATH BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE FOR

now it all came together, what the computers were flashing was a message, not to always fight for anyone just to follow their orders, but to also fight for what you, as an individual, also believe for. This meant, Stennis had not 1, not 2, but 3 sides.

An alarm that didn't sound right was blaring, it really felt like something, until the computer next to Monarch and Elizabeth fires up and says this.

Nuclear bombardment commencing on 10 enemy siren fleets, permission to engage, will activate immediately upon authorization.

They both looked at each other, thinking about what they should do. As they did, Warspite gave authorization without anyone knowing, and that's when...

The aftershocks came in.

Vibrations were everywhere across the ship, from under the waterline it vibrated upward, causing anything to be going in a up and down motion, similar to when the jamming devices of alicorn blew up there was a vibration underwater- wait hang on wrong script.
