It's been a few days...

A decent sized force of Royal Navy girls sailed out with Enterprise as the Flagship earlier that day, Belfast following along and sticking close to her. They went on a moderately large patrol around the nearby waters of the UK, and no sign of Z73 was found.

Since that was considered a bust, they sailed back with surpassingly light hearts, knowing that their search meant the Demon wasn't hanging around their home and waiting for them to leave so she could strike. Instead, with that out of the way, the new plan was to wait and hopefully figure out something from the Germans indirectly so they can find whenever she does leave Port so they can track her down.

It was something similar to what happened with Bismarck back during the War, but modern technology would make it far easier, all they needed to do was wait.

Sadly for them, she wasn't planning on showing anytime soon, and was already planning something to...take the edge off her most dangerous Hunter. Still masqueraded as Belfast, Z73 already got the permission she needed from Elizabeth, and was in the middle of preparing herself for her day out.

'Haven't really enjoyed city life since Yakutsk, I think today is gonna be pretty fun.' In Belfast's room, she noticed that the Head Maid actually kept a few spare outfits on hand, most of which were her uniforms, but there was an entire section of other clothes that were clearly for other happenings.

As much as Z73 would like to deny, she was feeling pretty giddy about being able to dress up since she usually stayed under a Jacket, or a Maid uniform in her case right now. She removed the Uniform, the collar, gauntlets, everything, and got to choosing.

'There's a nip in the air, so I should go for something a little bit warmer...no, that's too warm...but what about below the waist? God, she's got so much stuff here!'

After a...considerable amount of time, she believed she had a good enough outfit to start the day. Grabbing a Scarf, she looking in the mirror, proud of what she did and giving her reflection an award winning smile.

'Now THIS is how you dress to impress!'

She readjusted her Beret, feeling pretty confident in herself as she left her room and took herself right to Enterprise's. She gently knocked on the door a few times, waiting to see if Enterprise opened it for her.

"Enterprise, are you in there?"

"I am, just getting dressed."

She was surprised when she heard that, usually she always had to wake her and get her out of bed, but now she's already preparing herself for their day in town. With a smile, she clicked open the door, already heading in. "I suppose you're already getting ready for our day out?"

With the door open, she noticed that Enterprise was indeed halfway finished getting ready...in her usual outfit. The Carrier turned to look at her, her eyes going wide noticing she wasn't in her usual uniform. "Oh...I thought we wouldn't change..."
