a ship of lightning

chapter 9

as every one gets on board the siren vessel cleveland voiced what every one is thinking

Cleveland: how just how did you do this

"I just sent a surge if power through the ship and I felt responses like from my rigging hell look I can change the lights to different colors"

after saying that the ships blue lights died out and orange one kicked on only replaced by blue once again

Cleveland: this is just a lot like how did you know that would work

" I didn't but you showing me phone basics I noticed the phone when I did certain actions I felt a change of power flow in it and I felt the same thing here so I decided to test if I can manipulate the flow to give me control and well as you can see the ship is under my command"

Cleveland: and you did this why?

"well you said eagle union never got their hands on one to see how it ticks so why not grab one and poke around in it and find weak points"

Cleveland: I understand now you want to use siren tech

"not at all I want to reverse engineer it but you saying you don't want to is quite hypocritical"

suddenly hammond butts in

Hammond: reverse engineer it that the same thing and what do you mean eagle union being hypocritical

 "What I'm getting at is taking tech from your enemies and finding out how it works just to turn it against them with no backlash was quite common in my world hell eagle unions equivalent captured a6m2 zeros and took them apart to figure out how to make a better engine royal navy was the same with tanks and aircraft like bf 109s and some of the panzers later in the war were reverse engineered the planes were quite comparable our spitfires and such the panzers where normally found abandoned either they had transmission trouble from the weight or they where out of fuel"

Cleveland: oh so do you know why we split?

"no"

hammond: the azurlane believed in the use of only human tech while the crimson axis believed in using siren tech aginst the sirens

"that's on many levels stupid"

hamond: how so

"lets say the sirens have be quite recently"

Cleveland: they have

"and that we split and keep fighting each other until we are to weak to fight back"

Cleveland: and the sirens are going to come in and kill us at that state

"bingo splitting because of a difference in principles is stupid, to say the least it leaves both parties weaker and easier to kill by a third party"

hammond: so we should use siren tech?

"yes and no we are going to reverse engineer it figgier out how it works and then make our own versions better situated for ourselves"

Cleveland: so take inspiration form it?

"in a way yes"

Cleveland: alright then lets get moving

a few miles off of port sirens began to go off but were abruptly cut off when wales noticed that piorun was sitting on top

wales: the hell did they manage to capture a siren ship?

enty: no clue

belfast: I am quite surprised as well but wales I would prefer if you kept such vulgarity to your self
