(Remaster) The Ship of the Tempest

Day in the Life of a Nanny

Being one of the few up at that hour of the day, it was a surprisingly relaxing thing for Z73. The German base was active at basically all parts of the day, but here, the early mornings were reserved for only a select few, being the most dedicated of the Maids.

Since her current facade was the Head Maid, she made sure to get up bright and early, carrying a large sack in one hand that she took towards the riverbanks with that same smile Belfast always had. 'Thank God I got there in time, Dido was about to see something that would have forced her to get silenced.'

Some more minutes of a casual walk, and she made it to the pier side, more specifically, out towards the River's mouth that flooded out to the Ocean. She put the bag on the edge, looking around casually to check if there was anyone around before she did what she did.

...

Coast was clear

Belfast gently kicked the bag into the water, the bag quickly vanishing under the blue as the mouth of it opened and revealed part of the contents inside. All that she could see before the currents took it away was Belfast's dead stare from her cut off head, and one of her arms floating out only to get sucked away as well.

The real Belfast's body was now disposed of, and the fake one took a deep breath, a much happier smile dawning on her face at being able to stay hidden and secure her place by eliminating the original's trace. She turned back around and went back to the grand building, the air of happiness seemingly radiating off her, improving the mood of the Maids who passed her by, which she greeted wholeheartedly.

If they only knew...

The sudden blast of light hitting her face is what woke Enterprise from her slumber, her hands immediately trying to cover her face with her blanket as they slowly opened. She hear soft footfalls echo in the room, whoever it was clearly messing around with a few things that might have been hers.

"It's time to wake up Enterprise, the Sun is bright today."

"Mmh...what time is it...?"

"Twelve o' five"

Almost immediately, Enterprise shot up from her bed, but was pushed back down to bed just as quickly by Belfast. "Calm down Enterprise, I adjusted your sleep schedule to cope with Jet Lag. No one is going to criticize you for something beyond your control."

She let go and went to the suitcase, grabbing out utensils for personal Hygiene that Enterprise brought along. She passed her the toothbrush and the toothpaste, gently shooing her to the bathroom while she set up her clothing for the day.

'Not going to lie...this is surprisingly relaxing. I thought being a Maid would be an absolute pain in the ass, but I'm genuinely enjoying this.'

She finished ironing and smoothing her clothes out when she heard the bathroom door open, Enterprise walking up to her and seeing what she was doing. "Ironing?"

"Yes. Can't go out looking like a hooligan can you?" She gave Enterprise a slightly cheeky smile, passing over her clothes...before noticing something off.

"Enterprise..."

"Hm?" She was part of the way done with putting on her white dress shirt, halfway done with the buttons.

Belfast walked right up to her, staring her dead in the eyes without so much as a twitch of the lips, unnerving the Carrier. That's when she reached past her face, grabbing a bit of her hair that was knotted and tied.

"Did you not brush your hair?"

"I...never really do that."
