a ship with a metal arm

prologue

united states of America, California, nondescript shipyard

1944

we see a hull of a ship being laid down workers moving around and placing steal plates to it and welding them together

we see a faint outline of a girl she is blond with azur blue eyes on her head she has a captains hat with a set of old round welding goggles on it looking down we see a red t-shirt under a leather jacket on her shoulder a leather satchel looking closely at her left arm we see its a prosthetic made of brass and copper she moves it around trying to interact with the world around her but failing to her face appears downtrodden

*well that sucks, I wonder what my name is?*

we see her walk to an office and stand there listening to a conversation

foreman: we can't build her that fast without an issue cropping up

admiral: i know I was just requesting for you to be a little faster on building Ohio

*so that's my name*

looking at the desk she sees papers with names and she sees it USS Ohio bb-68 second ship of Montana class

*I have a sister?*

suddenly the office shakes and the lights cut

admiral: what's happening?

a man in welding gear rushes in

???: some weird shits happening with the hull

we see the 3 men rush outside and see something akin to a tear in fabric hanging midair with the hull slowly entering

admiral: the hell

*what is happening?*

suddenly Ohio is pulled in

Black is the only thing she sees, suddenly light began to fill her vision she blinks and looks around and realizes she is standing on her ship and it appears to be completed

"h how I wasn't even finished"

she feels a sudden hot mist to her left and looks at it she sees it exit her metal arm raising it up she feels like it was waiting for something cocking her hand back it suddenly unfolds down the length of her arm revealing a cannon embedded

"damn"

putting her hand back she sees the arm fold itself back together and she looks at it seeing gears and pistons on it

"nice design"

looking out at the water she sees an island in the distance

"now how do I move?"

at the word move she feels the hull come to life she felt valves turn and parts moving the anchor moved up releasing her to move the hull started to hum and the ship started to make way to the island
