An Shan slowly woke up in a rather bright room sheeted in white. Her head was still sore from that blow that knocked her out, but now it had a bandage around it. She peered up to see her sister Tai Yuan in the bed right next to her with medical equipment over her. As the destroyer leaned up better inspect her surroundings, she abrupted stopped as if something was grabbing her. Sure enough, An Shan saw a pair of handcuff securing to the bed, and then noticed Tai Yuan had the same thing, probably just in case they try something foolish. Right at the doorway, she noticed a figure wearing a white outfit which was clearly that of a Western nation's nurse, but her face looked familiar. It was when she noticed the two cat ears atop her head she realised who it was.
Tan Yang: I didn't think we'd finally meet like, but beggars can't be choosers.
An Shan: You're... you're Tan Yang, right?
Tan Yang: And you must be An Shan? Nice to finally meet you in the flesh, well... in the steel because we're not exactly humans.
An Shan: Did you do this to us, and why are you dressed like that?
Tan Yang: I didn't cuff you or Tai Yuan, if that is her, to your beds. That was "Big U" following Eagle Union protocol. Also, this is just one of my cosplay outfits. You like? It's modelled off of...
US: DD-12! What did I say about fucking cosplay outfits, especially in areas like this?!
Tan Yang: Not to wear them...
US: Very good. Now go back and get your ass into something more casual!
Tan Yang: I... of course. (Walks out of the medical ward)
An Shan: Don't be mean to her. That was rather...
US: (Shoots a serious look at An Shan) You keep your trap shut, or I'll make this thing do it. (Pulls out one of her handguns and points it at An Shan)
An Shan: (Goes silent)
US: I thought so. As of now, you and your sister are now prisoners of war under Eagle Union, part of the United States military and of her allies.
An Shan: (Staying silent)
US: As of now, we are heading for HMAS Kuttabul in Sydney, Australia in order to turn you two over for future assessment on who is going to watch yous. I am certainly not going to do it. I handcuffed both of you to your medical beds as a preventive measure in case yous want to escape. Face it, no one will come to help you. Now, if you two dare try anything foolish, you better remember that I'm right now your judge, jury and if you really make me angry, your executioner. (Leaves the room and closes the door)
An Shan: But... if we went back... we're as good as dead KAN-SEN. (Looks over to Tai Yuan, and begins to tear up) Please, don't leave me, sister.
Meanwhile, out in the hallways, United States was heading back to her main control room behind her hull's bridge. Her two prisoners were going to be a burden on her but as she was making flank speed, she was hoping to arrive at her destination ahead of schedule. The old liner KAN-SEN really wanted to get rid of these Chinese girls, and her passenger, as quickly as possible.
"America": Incoming transmission from Eagle Union pennant SSN-800.
US: That would be Arkansas. What the actual fuck does that nuclear submarine want? She's been told to maintain radio silence. Put her through.
"America": Understood. Connecting transmission now.
US: This is LPA-50 speaking. Why are you breaking radio silence, SSN-800? You were told.
