Jones picked up Tennessee's radio and quickly radioed to the others.
Jones: Heads up, we have an unidentified surface vessel bearing three zero two traveling twelve knots
Sampson picks up his radio, changing his frequency
Sampson: Vessel traveling twelve knots at bearing three zero two this is Eagle Union Navy warship one zero two, hailing you on channel one-six, please identify yourself, over
Almost a second after, Sampson got a response from a woman
?: Oh hey, fancy meeting you here Sampson
Sampson lowered his hand with the radio in it.
Sampson: Figures...
He said to himself. He raised the radio again, holding down its push-to-talk button.
Sampson: Cape, what a coincidence
He said as others were listening in on the conversation.
Tennessee: Who is that?
Tennessee said to Jones.
Jones: That's Cape St. George...happens to be Ticonderoga's closest sister
Ticonderoga: Woah, Cape is that really you?!
Cape: Holy shit! Ticon you're here too?!
Sampson put the radio back, staring over the horizon while listening to the whole conversation.
Ione: Cape St. George right?
Sampson: Yep, Ticon's sister...
Ione: What is she like?
Sampson: Well, she can be quite cheeky every once and a while...but one thing's for sure
Ione: What is it?
Sampson: Jones might be our technological Einstein...but Cape, well...she's the combat mastermind
Ione: What does that mean?
Sampson: No matter who the enemy is, just looking at a radar screen, or even sonar...she can read and predict every move they make...and can counter it with ease
Ione: Wow, that sounds impressive
Sampson: It is...she also has a long combat history as well...especially when she was deployed off the central-eastern coast of Somalia...she and my brother Gonzalez were both attacked by Somali pirates
Ione: What was the outcome?
Sampson: Let's just say any pirate who survived learned their lesson after their little attack boats were blown out of the water
Ione: Anything more significant than that?
Sampson: Her six-month deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom...launching Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles
Ione: What caused that operation?
Sampson: Well, Iraq wouldn't stop producing weapons of mass destruction and ties to terrorist organizations...not to mention the number of times they violated UN Security Council resolutions...it all amounted to a threat against the US and the world community as a whole
Ione: Is that all you dealt with in your world?
Sampson: Mostly war on terror in the Middle East...defending our oil reserves and refineries and stopping terrorism in its tracks
He said as he stared at the radar. He continued to listen to the radio conversation.

A few hours later, they had all arrived at the ports of the Sakura Empire. Sampson and they were standing on the beach, meeting up with Cape.
Burke and Jones had Shoukaku in custody as well.
