Maihark, 1637 day 224.

Noon time.

Captain Midori was in his office with Admiral Radoniu. They were talking about the arrival of the Philippines since today was the day of the arrival. The Captain was excited, and so is the Admiral. They were told that the Philippines would send 3 more ships along with the one they saw. One of the ships that they will be boarding is called "Maharlika." The Chief Mate officer, Hansel, told them that they would be shocked by the size of that ship. Since that mention they couldn't sleep at night thinking how big would it be? 150? 200? 250? They were guessing until finally someone reported them that they had arrived and is being escorted by Pimo. The secretary, when telling them about the news, had a shocked look on his face. Then he said that they, the Philippines, had brought in a white giant ship that is estimated to be over 350+ meters long. Their biggest ship, the Pimo, was about 50 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 16 meters tall. The ship was so big that they could fit 7 Pimos inside and have some space left .(350+meters). The Admiral and the Captain were shocked. They had never heard of such thing before. They were scared. They thought it was a powerful warship, but unbeknownst to them, it was not.

They got up and left the building, and though the ships were all still far away, they could already see it in the distance. On the front is the ship that they had seen before. The BRP Jose Rizal. While on the sides were two huges ships that are larger than the Jose Rizal.(162 meters), but on the back of the leading ship is a ship that dwarves all that surround it. 357 meters, this is the Ocean Liner 'Maharlika' with its white paint reflecting the suns light sailing gloriously across the seas. A few minutes pass, and they finally stop and send out some helicopters. They already mentioned that the Qua-Toynians should prepare an LZ for the Helicopters to land. From the perspective of the people of Qua-Toyne, they were sending and flying steel Wyverns that doesn't flap it's wing but instead chop the air very fast, producing a loud sound with a strong wind. The blades started to slow, and the air was starting to be normal. It was getting quieter while at the same time, the belly(side)of the steel Wyvern opens up and there, and a group of strange looking men wearing armor that was strange with black metal sticks that resembles the ones in Mu. They came out, and one of those was the diplomat Miguel Garcia Cruz wearing a sleek black suit.

The Diplomat of the Qua-Toyne, Haji and Midori who was granted permission to join the tour of the Philippines to help establish relationships with the country and Yagou, the one of the staffs of International Relations welcomed the visitors and then were invited to go the Helicopters to go so they can go to the ship Maharlika. As soon as they got in, the doors shut tight, and surprisingly, it was quiet and comfortable. This was because this was a luxury helicopter made for the President. The PLH-2G(G for Guest while PLH-2P for the President. P for Presidential.)

While going there, Yagou asked.

Yagou-"How long does it take for us to reach our destination?"

Miguel -"About that, we will be arriving in two days."(if google is right, then they can arrive in two days assuming the weather is fine which it is. 10 knots speed will result in 4 days to sail 1k km. Now double that with the speed of BRP Jose Rizal which is about 25 knots which is the slowest of them all as Maharlika can travel 31 knots in it's max speed. The speed they are traveling on is an average 22 knots but it can change. Big ships will be much faster on ocean rather on the shore that's why they can't  maintain all the time making it roughly two days even in 22 knots.)

Yagou-"two days? I thought the Philippines was almost a 1000 km away from Maihark?"

Miguel-"Yes it is, but fortunately, Maharlika, Karangalan, Katapangan, and Jose Rizal are fast ships, so we will be arriving in a estimated 2 days."

Yagou-"That fast!?"

Miguel -"That fast."

Haji-"Yeah, but even if it's two days, it's still a ship. I might get sick, you know?"
