The Reunification of Azur lane

Shock and Awe

Not long after their reunion, the two sisters began inspecting their riggings, leading to their discovery of a few puzzling developments.

"That's weird, could've sworn..."

"What's wrong sis?"

Stout inquired as she recalibrated her sensors and equipment.

"Nothing's wrong, that's the problem... I was completely out of ammo and severely damaged during the battle, so how are my ammo storages full and my rigging intact after taking that missile?"

"...You're right, how are we totally unscathed after getting hit?"

This twist of fate baffled the two Kansen, Stout was completely lost in thought before she tried to check on their location.

"That's weird, no GPS... is my satellite antenna damaged?"

Stout checked her antennae for any damages, only to find that they were in pristine condition.

"Huh, same here."

Arleigh informed her sister as she examined and recalibrated the radar, sensors and other electronics in her rigging.

"At least everything else works, but how the hell are we gonna find our way back to the East coast?"

Arleigh asked, her tone of voice rife with irritation at their current predicament. The destroyer's annoyance earned her a light smack to the back of her head from Stout.

"We just survived an impossible situation completely unharmed—for the love of god stop tempting fate and just be grateful that we're alive."

The younger Kansen explained to her sister as she finished up the inspection of her riggings.

"All systems requiring satellite guidance are unavailable. For some reason they can't establish a connection despite being in good condition, no errors in their software either..."

Stout thought for a long moment before she decided on a probable theory as to why they couldn't connect to US satellites.

"Maybe the Sirens decided to jam our signal—it wouldn't be too far-fetched to believe that they've shot down our satellites either, but then..."

Stout was once again, lost in thought, completely tuning out her surroundings as she went on and on.

"Uh, sis?"

"No they wouldn't have shot down our satellites, the resulting debris field would potentially destroy their stuff in low earth orbit as well..."

"Sis..."

Arleigh's calls went unheard as her sister continued rambling on their lack of satellite guidance.

"Yeah, they definitely wouldn't put their own assets at risk just to deny us sat guidan-"

"SIS!"

Stout was ripped from her deep thoughts as Arleigh grabbed onto her shoulders and shook her around to get the nerdy Kansen's attention.

"Waaaa-! Stop that! What are you doing!?"

"Well I had to get your attention somehow and yelling wasn't working."

Arleigh shrugged as she justified her actions to her peeved sister.

"Anyway, there's no use speculating about it, Normandy will probably explain it to us once we're back at port anyway."

The first of the Burkes came to a glaring realization when she remembered what she said to their superior during the battle.

"Oh fuck... I really screwed up now didn't I..."
