Right.....Wrong.....I don't know

Calm Steel

It was a calm day in Ironblood. Everyone was not really at work and most had nothing to do at all. These days became common in the recent months with the decreasing Siren threat but that didn’t mean all of them were enjoying their days free of bounds.

Z23, otherwise known as Nimi, was carrying around some documents as she was walking through the hallway. Next to her was Leipzig who assisted her in the task. The light cruiser picked up the second stack of recent information and documents so the destroyer only had to traverse their base once to deliver them.

“It’s been quiet for a while now.” Leipzig mentioned with a smile. They had not been fighting for months now so a large portion of Ironblood was resting at port instead of spread around the World doing operations. They of course still have usual training to ensure their combat capabilities but barely anyone was really taking that seriously anymore. That of course didn’t mean they were unable to do combat. 

"Well we haven't had any attack happen to us in a long time. Also our leaders are facing what is important in global affairs so we can take our lifes a bit easier." Nimi mentioned as they walked down the hallway with a bit of a hurry. Not fast but still faster than comfortable walking. ”Although we do have these outages from time to time. Did anyone figure out what causes those? They get annoying. Also they have happened more often in the last few months. It's a bit suspicious.”

“Sadly I don’t think anyone knows the cause of those Nimi.” Leipzig said while she wondered about that. 

The entirety of the Ironblood main base they are staying at for the last months has recently been plagued by one power outage after another. 

At least the commanders said they were working on it so the shipgirls have not pressed on it any further even if the outages annoy them to some degree. Most shipgirls simply grown used to them and given the outages were mostly at night. The destroyers decided funnily on it being the time when they should head to bed at night so they were comfortable with it.

Nimi wore her normal outfit but was missing the cape she chose to leave out today. She had to admit that she was sick of having her cape get stuck in the door frames.

She was smiling, something rarely seen from the usual serious destroyer. She had some fun with her sisters, at least the ones that were currently stationed at the base, earlier to make her do so. She also interacted with her other friends who kept her from worrying about her sisters fighting Sirens all across Europe and given their current peaceful state she could allow herself to be less serious, even if she still worried for some of them. 

Leipzig was wearing her maid outfit that she got when she tried out the style of the Royal Maids. She found it rather fabulous and something she could wear at home so she decided to wear it today. She didn’t answer Nimis' question of if she lost a bet with her sister earlier that forced her to wear this so she did not press on it further. "I heard that Eagle Union and the Royals have taken increased action at the Suez channel. The situation there seems weird, why would they need so many ships there? They can’t face that many Sirens."

She was taking all of these from rumours of the ships that ventured to the bases along the mediterranean.

Rumors were a common thing at Ironblood. Most information regarding operations were kept under closed curtain and the ones that were spread were deconstructed into not so important things. This was due to security concerns of the higher ups and made sure the common shipgirl wouldn’t know the complete strategy. This of course was a security act to prevent the plan to be revealed by accident or in case of capture of one of them by Siren forces. Sadly this of course led to knowledge gaps for most of the ships who only got told their orders maybe days before the operations.
