Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

An Answer For The Fleet

A/N: Jesus, forty five thousand people. It seems as if I can't get a new chapter out before another thousand people have come and read it.

Much enjoyable.

The seven non German personnel followed the newly summoned members of the fleet out of the summoning hall as they watched those just stepping outside take a look around at their new environment.

Letting the group assemble as one outside, Saradia looked to Admiral Johnson and Admiral Ishigara in turn.

"If you'll excuse us, we've to get files drawn up for the girls we got yesterday." Ishigara said as he looked to the woman. "With everything that happened between then and now, this is the first time things have really slowed down somewhat." He said. "But the Sendai sisters should be waiting at your building to take their sizes." He told her.

"But, we're also willing to lend help." Anya said. "For the time being, the four of them have offered to help with getting everyone settled in. That's if you think you need it." She said.

Saradia glanced at her new charges a moment before looking down at Emma. True, she would need someone keeping Emma focused elsewhere and Maryland had seemed to make a fast connection with her daughter. And given that Enterprise had never met any of those present in combat and Akagi and Mutsu had been allies during the old war, she offered a nod in response. It all seemed to be okay in the end.

"That would be much appreciated." She said as she looked to the four ship girls, who nodded in response as they stepped over with the Admiral. At that, the three officers offered waves and went about their own way.

That left Saradia, hand in hand with Emma, as she began to lead her fleet of now nineteen towards the now German section of Yokosuka.

The four non German ship girls walked with Saradia as she could hear her girls break down into their own conversations. The destroyer sisters into theirs. Bismarck and Tirptiz speaking rapid fire German to one another. Hipper, Prinz, And Blucher we're having one. And Graf Zeppelin seemed to be discussing something with the three submarine sisters.

The only one she didn't hear was Scharnhorst.

Looking back to the battleship, the German admiral watched the battleship look at her surroundings. The battleship didn't seem to be troubled, only in interest. Interest in her new situation. As she watched the battleship glance down at her hands, clenching and unclenching her fists somewhat, she made the guess that the battleship was coming to terms with her sudden humanity. Something that Saradia assumed was appropriate given her current situation.

"Scharnhorst?" Saradia called, watching as the battleship looked up at her in a questioning manner. When she had, Saradia gestured for her to come forwards, come to walking pace with the her. When Scharnhorst got the message, the battleship increased her pace. Coming to an Even pace between Saradia and Enterprise, the battleship looked to her Admiral.

"Ja?" She asked as she looked to the woman. Saradia only smiled at the battleship as they made their way through the snow.

"Just thought i'd have a chat with you. You were the only one not apart of a conversation, so I figured I'd take a chance to see how you're taking to this new experience. I know it's only been a few minutes, but still." She said. Scharnhorst only nodded as the battleship looked down to her hands again before bringing them up to near eye level.

"It's strange... I remember when I was a ship, I could still remember having hands, but all I could really manipulate was my hull. But now..." she trailed off, looking at her hands in wonder. Saradia however blinked at the explanation.
