Alicorn stands on the docks staring out to a pair of large cargo ships anchored not far away from the base. They are filled with cargo containers. 

Team Destroyers ships sail past the cargo ships on their daily patrol. 

"Who's ready!" Cleveland shouts from behind her.

Alicorn glances back to see Cleveland, New Jersey, Stanly and Dace. The escort team.

"Dace is ready to launch any torpedoes at any Siren that dares to come close!" Dace shouts.

Across from them is Texas, Minnesota, Northampton, Langley. The Quick Response Force, which included Alicorn.

"Dace, don't go torpedo crazy again." Langley taps Dace's head with her riding crop.

"Ugh, yes ma'am." Dace deflates. 

Northampton pokes Texas in the side. "You sure you're up for this mission, Old Lady?"

Alicorn looks way as she covers her mouth, trying not to laugh. A large tick mark grows on Texas' head as she glares at Hampton.

"Old lady?! Who are you calling Old Lady?!" Texas slams the stock of her double barrel shotgun on the ground, before pounding her chest. "I can kick your butt any day. I have more Siren kills then everyone here combined!"

Minnesota pops up behind the old Battleship. "Careful, you might hurt your hip!"

"HUAH?!" Texas yells in anger.

New Jersey lets out a light chuckle. "Let's not rile each other up before we head out."

"Yes, please." Stanly speaks up in a calm manner.

Everyone goes quiet as the a Yorktown, in her wheel chair, rolls up to them. Enterprise and Hornet walk a few steps behind her.

"Now girls-" Yorktown starts to stand up, with Hornet and Enterprise helping her, she then turns to the Escort team. "Your mission is to escort those ships to Vladivostock, and meet up with Commander Kalamad and Light Cruiser Chapayev. Understood!"

"Yes ma'am!" The Escort team salutes.

Yorktown turns to the QRF team as Alicorn joins them.

"You five will be following a bit behind them, inside Alicorn's sub under the water. You will keep radio contact with them at all times. And if anything happens, those cargo ships are your bigger priority. Understood!"

The QRF team salutes. "Yes ma'am!"

"You all must understand, you will receive no reinforcement if something goes wrong, so do not get spotted." Yorktown then throws her hand out towards the sea. "Now Sail My Sisters!"

The Escort team summon their ships and sail out towards the cargo ships. They begin to sail off into the distance as Alicorn summons her sub.

As everyone gets onto the massive black submarine, Alicorn looks back to her mother. Yorktown sits back down in her electric wheelchair and smiles at her, Alicorn smiles back. She then jumps up onto her sub and starts to sail off before submerging under the water.

Hours pass by as Alicorn and her crew are gathered in the Command center of her ship. They said miles behind the escorts.

Langley is on the radio while Minnesota monitors their sonar. Texas is chilling out in a chair, reading a book. Hampton is looking around at all the high tech in the sub, while Alicorn just looks over some files as she walks around.
