General POV

Montana and his group of Kanmusu as they called themselves made themselves at home at Boston. It was a little difficult to adjust to having a few less feet on the ground than before but the group managed.

Alex: "Missouri? Missouri?!" he called, "Jesus, where the hell is that guy?"

Missouri: "Alex....mind not shouting.....I'd rather have some sleep right about now." he said.

Alex sprinted to Missouri's bow and saw Missouri trying to get some sleep.

Alex: "Oh....right..." he said, "You aren't a kansen anymore..."

Yamato: "Baka....shut up so we can sleep..." she said, snuggling up to Missouri.

Alex: "Ok, I'm going." he said, put off balance by the 2 Battleships cuddling.

Currently the group was having a small problem, the cure had hit European soil and was being produced there but America's labs are unable to make enough of the cure to help the entire populace so the crew was looking for solutions.

So Missouri's fleet, including Nathan, set off from Boston towards the last known location of the USNS Solace a Hospital Ship with all the equipment necessary to mass-produce the cure as another lab.

Missouri: "So Nathan, how have the others back at Pearl been?" he asked.

Nathan James: "Well, Missy was last in China before the Virus, the Arleigh's were state-side but I'm not sure how they're doing, and the 4 Tico's.....well...they're scheduled for scrapping in a week." he said, "But they escaped the torch because of this pandemic."

Missouri was silent at the squad of sibling's fates but nodded, accepting that they were most likely alive somewhere.

Yamato: "Oi! No depression!" she yelled, "Is there any good news?!"

Nathan James: "Um....we've picked up Solace's radio calls....?" he said.

Yamato: "Fantastic." she said, hooking Missouri's bull nose with her anchor, "C'mon babe!"

Missouri: "Woah!" he said as Yamato dragged him along.

As the group approached Solace a Submarine interrogated the much bigger ship aggressively trying to get the cure out of her.

Solace: "P-please....I don't have the cure.....I swear I don't!" she said.

???: "Oh Solace luv...you are such a liar.~" she said, ramming the Hospital ship.

Solace cried out and the sub was actually ready to fire a torpedo when she noticed the fleet moving in on Solace's location.

???: "Well well well, looks like your knights in shining armor actually showed luv." she said, beginning to submerge, "Not like it'll matter much.~"

Solace: "Wha- what?" she questioned.

The sub however was gone and Solace couldn't see nor hear her captor....but she did hear the sound of turbines and horns. She barely had time to register this before a fleet of World War 2 era ships lead by an Arleigh Burke class destroyer appeared.

Solace: "Wait! Stop!" she yelled.

Missouri: "Um, kid, we're here to help, what're you talking about?" he asked.

Solace: "No! Not that dad! Someone in a sub has been trying to find the cure, and they tried beating out of me even though I never had it." she said, beginning to sob, "I-I heard gunshots too.....I-I think all my crew are dead..."
