Originally a rusted relic from a glorious age of American post-war prosperity and the crowning jewel of the nation, the former liner SS United States is taken and commissioned into Eagle Union as an Attack Transport and with the onset of what could...
The flight from Richmond, Australia was long but they successfully arrived in Portsmouth, England, Royal Navy headquarters. There, United States requested to have her meet with the First Lord about British operations in the Asia-Pacific Region against China. The Royal Navy girls were surprised to see the Attack Transport's KAN-SEN, the retired Tan Yang and their two prisoners, in their port but if she was here, it must be important that the Eagle Union vessel was even here. While that was part of the reason she was in the UK, the other was more a KAN-SEN reason. She didn't pay much attention to everyone around her until...
Renown: You're USS United States, am I right? Pennant number LPA-50?

US: That is my name. Who might you be? I don't real your fact before anywhere before, civilian.
Tan Yang: That's because she's not a civilian. Renown? Is that you?
Renown: Yukikaze? Been over 80 years since I last saw you.
Tan Yang: It's Tan Yang, now. Been that way for the same length of time.
Renown: You have changed. Last time I met you back in 1945 when we vanquished the Sirens once and for all, you could barely speak a word in English. Now, you're very fluent at it.
Tan Yang: Well, the Americans do supply and visit Taiwan, so English is a must. I had to learn it back in the 1950s. I'm retired, by the way.
Renown: That makes two of us. Takao is, as you're aware, also retired and for the past 80 years, has been living in the UK.
Tan Yang: Where does she live?
She apparently lives up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne with one of the retired merchant KAN-SEN, the old RMS Mauretania.
US: The sleek one I knew, or the crappy four-funneller that everyone thinks has a better look than my hull?
Renown: Call old Maury "crappy" and she'll punch you out. Called her "rusty" once back in 1935 when her hull went for scrap... which she gave me quite the bruise and used my sword to hit me in the crotch really hard.
The four quickly winced up, knowing exactly how much that would hurt, even if they lacked something that made such a hit more painful which human males.
Renown: So, what brings you four to Portsmouth?
US: We're here for a veteran of the First Siren War.
Renown: Well, you're look at one.
Tan Yang: Not you, sadly, Renown. Someone else who is important to KAN-SEN history as a whole.
US: I am talking about the first one to see combat.
Renown: Carmania? You can find her at one of the memorials, especially at the one for the First Siren War. She's a nice girl, and pretty much one of a few survivors who have seen a Siren wholly.
