Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

Getting The Seven Settled In

Anya and Sofia lead the group of seven American Ship Girls back towards their part of Yokosuka. Their group and Ishigara's group had split ways after the summoning, Ishigara having things he needed to take care of, no doubt one of those things would be trying to calm down Nagato after her encounter with Arizona.

It hadn't helped much as the two groups were leaving, Arizona called "Nice Stern" over to the usually calm battleship. Poor Nagato. Bet she hadn't been expecting something like that to happen. Her face certainly wasn't handling it well. Anya was pretty sure she'd never seen someone blush that hard in her life.

The American Admiral couldn't worry about that though. She had things to do. First, get records on file for these girls. After, they were to be measured for uniforms, a task that Ishigara had said he would send people to assist with. Which most likely meant she would be meeting more of the Japanese Ship girls. While they were doing that, she had been told to go hunt down a woman by the name of Liz at the Mess Hall. Ishigara had said she could handle food for the girls.

Anya took a look back at the seven, watching them interact with each other. Even though they were all American ships, they had split off into groups. Enterprise, Langley, and Lexington were off to one side, talking quite animatedly with one another. Well, Enterprise and Lexington were anyways. Langley was merely smiling and threw in her own words as she needed to. Sort of like a mother listening to her young.

The Admiral then looked back to the other group of four. Arizona had Bristol on her shoulders as the two conversed with Atlanta and Ellyson. Anya wasn't surprised about the division though.

You really couldn't compare a Carrier to something like a Cruiser or Battleship. A Battleship could take a hit and hit right back. A Cruiser had mobility higher than most. That wasn't always the case with a Carrier. You protected them. You had to protect them. But in return, the Carrier thanked you by turning the enemy into little more than scrap and burning metal with waves and waves of planes. So the division didn't surprise Anya that much.

"So what's the plan, Admiral?" Enterprise asked after a moment, turning her attention away from her conversation with Lexington. Anya looked back at her, running a hand through her hair.

"Well right now, we're heading back towards the American HQ building to start files on you girls." Anya answered as the continued to walk towards the building. "After that, you girls will be measured for uniforms and the like. While you girls are getting that done, I'll be making sure there'll be breakfast for you girls." She explained. Arizona was the first to have a question.

"Wait... We have an HQ building on a Jap base?" The battleship asked. Anya gave a nod.

"Yes, we do. It was built for this very reason, to play host to you girls. And Arizona, I know what they referred to the Japanese as back then. But for right now, please try to not say that around the Japanese Ship Girls. No need to start something if we can avoid it... But yes, we have an HQ. As will the Royal Navy and the Deutsche Marine." She answered. Bristol suddenly seemed more interested.

"The British are coming? With their own ship girls? And who are the Deu- Duest- what you said." She asked excitedly. Arizona had to hold onto the girl to keep her from falling off her shoulders. Anya gave a nod in response.

"There's no set date for their official arrival on base. And the Deutsche Marine is what the German Navy is known as today. I imagine you knew them as the Kriegsmarine back then...." Anya answered the destroyer. She could almost feel the girl suddenly become rather calm at the mention of the German Navy. Not like she had reacted when it came to the British.

"That's not gonna be a problem, is it Bristol?" Sofia asked, looking back at the destroyer on Arizona's shoulders. The small destroyer shrugged. The Captain gave a sigh in response. Anya chuckled at her friends expense.
