Rushan, People's Republic of China. 0028 hours
Deep inside the bowls of the retired destroyer PRAN Chang Chun, the rescue team had split in order to cover more ground. United States had taken fellow merchant KAN-SEN Carmania with her along with two US Army soldiers while destroyer KAN-SEN Tan Yang and Tai Yuan had gone with the other three troops down to the ship's brig in order to gather evidence of Chang Chun's misdeeds. While the destroyers looked below deck, the former liners were coming up on the galley.
Carmania: Typical destroyers. Can't even be hygienic about things.
US: That's China, for you.
Carmania: Just so gross, and this is how they live? Even my ship's staterooms were more hygienic than this.
US: Well, that's because yours and my ships were built to transport passengers with luxury. These destroyers however aren't for such a role.
Carmania: Figures. Still, these conditions are no way to live in. I can't believe the PRAN let this happen, in total violation of the 1947 KAN-SEN Pro...
US: China's been breaking that treaty already too many times, but we'll soon bring them to absolute justice while enforcing the treaty on them. Slap them with the book, and if she doesn't comply... (Pulls out her SIG Sauer M18 and chambers a fairly large magazine into it) ...then bullets are going to fly.
Carmania: Miss United States? Are you sure that's a good idea? What if they bounce off and hit them instead?
US: Shhhhh... Be quiet.
Hibiki: (Be heard via echo) Please... let us go!
Chang Chun: (Be heard via echo) Hush! The sooner the apple goes in your mouth, the better.
An Shan: (Be heard via echo) Cooking us alive like two roast pigs?! You're mad, Chang Chun!
Chang Chun: You really think I'm having just both of you? Once you two go in, I'll be dismembering that little one as a side dish, and rotisserie her like a chicken.
Hibiki: (Could only whimper as she was stripped of her clothes) I don't want to be eaten.
Carmania: That monster wants to just kill them like they're just animals. As much as I want to say proper, I want to slap her.
US: Stand down, Carmania. I have an idea. (Pulls out her radio) Angel 1 to Angel 3 and 4. Do you read me?
Tan Yang: (via radio) Angel 3 here. I respond.
US: Ask Angel 4 what is the cookers aboard this vessel powered by? I have a plan, but it needs to render the galley out of commission.
Tan Yang: (via radio) We're not far from it, she just said. We'll head there now.
US: Thanks, Angels 3 and 4. Wait for my signal when to deactivate it.
Tan Yang: (via radio) Will do, Angel 1.
Carmania: Miss United States, they really need to hurry as that psychopath has already prepped one and is heading for An Shan.
Chang Chun: You really thought that treason wouldn't go unpunished? Well, look at her, and you'll be joining her as my dinner.
An Shan: You're sick in the head.
Chang Chan: (Punches An Shan in the face, causing blood to come from her mouth) I wouldn't have expected such words out of you, sister. Maybe cooking you up would give you time to think, before you become a lovely meal. Fu Shun was tasty, and you will be too. (Prepares to strip An Shan down naked) Time to say goodbye to your clothes, because you'll never need them.
