Azur Lane: Leipzig Missile Cruiser Class

I am a POLE! (1)

1st of February 1942

Kiel, Admiralty HQ

Research Facility

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few weeks before the operation, the Weimar Republic decided to finally establish a permanent foothold in the entire Baltic Sea to support its allies and show the world that its own backyard was not being left behind.

While all this was going on, the damaged warships and injured shipgirls were being repaired in various dry docks, prepared for further engagements and other skirmishes. But in a small research facility on the outskirts of the military port, deep underground, something was going on. Since the death and serious injury of three Kansen, the Weimar Republic was deeply concerned and set out to bring the three shipgirls back into service.

It was in this facility that the Shipgirls were manifested and reborn, and today the latter would happen to two of them. A group of scientists in full white SCBAs bring two wisdom cubes and a wounded Kansen on a stretcher into the room.

"Z24," one of the scientists asks. "If it gets uncomfortable, please let us know, okay?"

"Yes. I just want my arm back," the demon destroyer grumbles. Since the incident with Elbing, she has been taken care of by her big and little sister, which has shattered her strong position to the point that her evilness is simply no longer effective and she has lost her statute of domination.

Soon, it was gently placed in a capsule to avoid unnecessary injuries, while the two wisdom cubes were also placed in a capsule. These wisdom cubes were from the two fallen Kansen, killed in action. After that, the scientists left the room and entered an adjacent one. In this one, the controls for all three pods, and many more, are placed.

These pods, after rigorous testing and much blood and sweat over the years, are being perfected to create a more efficient and less time consuming way to manifest a Kansen into life. They are also made as the number of crippled after an intensive operation nearly quadrupled. After these retirements from active service, the Republic also wanted to return injured Kansen to service, no matter the cost, and thus the budget for these pods was exceeded several times.

"Pods 1, 2 and 3 are occupied. No anomalies detected. Ready to begin rejuvenation." One of the scientists manning the controls says to the chief scientist. She looks at him with her azure eyes and hazel hair and nods wordlessly.

Baltic Seas, near Götland

Time: 1300 hours

As the Polish fleet closed in on the German Baltic fleet, all excited to see the infamous guided missile cruisers, they were soon greeted by a radio call that brought the destroyers and their crews back into line. "[Attention, unknown flotilla! This is the Ulrich von Hutten! I hereby order you to identify yourself, or we will engage your small fleet with live ammunition!]" Feeling a shiver run down their spines, the Intermarium sailors and their officers knew how strict the Germans could easily get in an important mission.

To slack off while a German shipgirl was nearby simply to ask to be punished to the core, often resulting in bruises and severe fatigue all over their bodies, with their ships suffering damage from close shell fire and bent and melted guns. While some would say this was pure abuse, the Intermarium fleet knew that the Sirens and any other hostile faction (insurgents and cultists) would give them any breathing space and would sexually assault and execute them if they made a single misstep.
