3rd POV: Azurlane Base

It was early morning in the Pacific base. Along the main avenue of the base that lead from the main office to the docks, 2 figures were taking a stroll. The man looked around at the buildings, diverse in color and style, and read some of the streamers and decorations

Andy: {.. the Rarity festival is almost here..} *sigh* "i wonder how they feel about this.."

Wales: "may I ask who you are referring to, admiral?"

Andy: "the founders of course. The Rarity festival was originally their graduation party after all.."

Wales: "is that so?"

Andy: "yup, though I guess they aren't coming this year.."

Wales: "y-yes, USS Maine and USS Wisconsin have stated as such, and unfortunately HMS Price of Wales is busy at the moment"

With a nod from the admiral, the two continue their stroll through the empty streets, basked in the light blue hue of the early morning. Soon the admiral arrives at the docks and proceeds to sit at it's edge, his legs dangling above the water as he rests his arms and head on the railing.

Wales: "are you worried? You seemed quite confident, even reverent at times when discussing sir Hurricane's abilitys last we spoke of them"

Andy: ".. cane is reliable. In all my years of living, i know that for sure. Still, his sustained injuries and all this radio silence is starting to get to me..."

Wales: "I'm sure they will radio in soon, i doubt that they will walts here without a word. If all you've said about sir Hurricane is true, then I am sure that they'll be back soon. Beside, since the storm has finally relented, we will have a bright lovely day for finishing our paperwork! I'm sure that if we start early and work really hard, we'll be able to finish all of it before midnight tonight!"

At first the admiral thought she was being sarcastic, but the glimmer in here eyes burned that hope away quickly..

Andy: {..lord.. if you hear this... please get cane back soon!! I wanna go home! Also i forgot if I turned off the heater in my house... Please.. I beg you.. let it be off!}

As the admiral look out at the sea on the verge of literal tears, he then spots a series of ripples on the surface of the calm blue water, slowly making a trail towards the entrance of the bay. Instantly, the admiral got up and looked closer

Andy: "ha.. haha.. AHhahaha!!" {Welp! I'm taking my ass to church once I'm back home! God is good and praise be to his name!!}

Wales: "w-what is it, admiral!?"

Andy: "speak of the devil and he shall appear!! Go get some tugs, Wales. The gang is back!"

Soon, simbirsk's sub emerges from the still water of the bay and is docked by some tugs. With a clunk, the main hatch opens and a young blonde boy's head pops out.

Simbirsk: "hallo!"

Andy: "simbirsk! Anything we need to worry about?"

Simbirsk: "um..all of us are ok, however the dragon girls need help getting up the ladder"

Andy: "alright. Apache, you Andy your gang get a crane and some stretchers, oh, and bring a forklift for cane"

Cane: *distant yell* "I'm awake, you know!!"

Andy: "oh, nevermind the forklift then. I was just considering the fact that you can't walk right!

Cane: *distant yell* "actually on second thought-"
