In the middle of the night, a certain frigate continued to roam around wide awake, conducting light maintenance and replenishing ammunition. Why, you might wonder?
It was the good old three pillars of modern vessel advantages: Stealth, precision and a ridiculously strong radar for information-gathering. All three of which just so happen to be perfect for assisting in a certain type of operation with the Royal Maids.
I can never get a break, can't I...
she thought, in the process of pushing another Harpoon missile into its corresponding tube. Not only had she barely defeated an alien-looking laser-blasting enemy capable of appearing out of thin air just very recently, now she had to potentially get up close and personal directly into the heart of the Sakura Empire. How fun.
At least I'm doing this mission with the Royal Maids this time... I am a bit curious how they operate.
With the final missile slotted into the launch tube, she leaned against her frigate's main gun turret and took a moment to rest before the mission commenced. As she gazed up at the star-filled night sky, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"Evenin', Hessen!"
She turned to see a certain battleship making her way towards her, taking a seat beside her on the deck.
"New Jersey? What are you doing out here this late at night?" Hessen questioned. "You received a mission too?"
"Nah, no mission. Just wanted to check on you." she answered.
"Oh, come on. Everything is fine so far."
"Hessen, please." She turned serious for a moment. "Do ya really think that an elite Siren attacking the newest member of the base goes unnoticed for long?"
"Ah, right..." She averted her eyes. "I forgot how quick rumors spread around here."
She took a moment to watch the frigate's demeanor. "You seem really calm after what happened."
"I'm going to be honest with you – I'm still shaken up internally from it all. You're telling me you fight those things en masse?" She asked, glancing up at her again.
"Yep. I fought Purifier myself a few times before. She always seems to appear at the most inconvenient times possible. A few salvos from my mighty cannons always shut her up quickly."
"Aw, man... What else do I not know? They can use damn portals! All my range advantage goes out the window when they can literally just directly teleport themselves to me!" She exclaimed, quite a bit distressed at this conclusion.
New Jersey responded by extending her hand towards the frigate to headpat her.
"Don't worry Hessen - it's not like you are completely defenseless. As a bonus, the Commander wants to assign you even more support during missions. That's why you are doing this secret-agent stuff with the Royal Maids. I wonder though - how did ya chase off Purifier earlier?"
She pointed to her recently reloaded Harpoon missile launchers.
"I smacked her in the face at point-blank range with eight of these."
Both paused for a second before breaking out in a chuckle.
"Oof! You slapped her with almost a dozen of them? That must have hurt!"
