Azur Lane: Dead Men Never Lie

Super Commander

"It's almost like he's taken over for us..." Bismarck mumbles. "Is it even worth continuing to be the commander?" Ever since Jack's apparent resurrection and being turned half-human half-ship he has been conducting sweeps around the docks, annihilating any Siren ships that are unlucky enough to be within his search radius, and Bismarck and the others have simply been shelved because of it.

"And his guns are nothing like the ones we have been fitted with." Wales says as she looks at Jack's guns and remembers how fast he destroyed that small Siren fleet on his own. "Those are not normal battleship guns."

"If we were to be fitted with those monsters we would sooner blow ourselves up than actually blow up the enemy." Hood adds.

"Not even us Ironbloods have guns THAT strong. As a matter of fact I don't think anyone has developed stuff like that, except for the Royal Navy." Bismarck says. "...Does Jack even eat?"

"We haven't really seen him eat, but that's probably because he does it without us knowing." Wales says. "Otherwise he would be looking much worse than he does right now." She adds as she notices shrapnel wounds on Jack.

"What's going to happen to us then? He's practically become a one man army." Eugen asks.

"Well I'm pretty sure nothing won't happen to you- should something happen to Jack they'll need SOMEONE to help defend the docks should Sirens attack." Enterprise says.

"But as of now? I'm not even sure what's going to change." Yorktown says. "And the higher ups still won't say anything about it?"

"Nothing at all." Bismarck replies. "I tried to get something out of them but they kept their mouths shut, and the same thing occurred when Hood and Wales tried to get them to talk." The girls then realize that while they were busy discussing Jack had already gone out, presumably in pursuit of a Siren fleet that they hadn't even noticed, and that's confirmed when Jack returns to the docks with a few more shrapnel wounds on him, but he remains still despite the injuries he's suffered.

"Let's head out into the water for a little bit." Enterprise says. "There's something that's been prodding at my mind lately and I'm not sure if I want anyone else hearing it."

"Alright." Bismarck replies as the shipgirls head out into the open water, and once they're sure that Jack hasn't followed them there, Enterprise turns to face the girls. "So what's this thing that's been prodding at your mind?"

"I know this might sound farfetched but how long as Jack been serving? At least before he was killed?" Enterprise begins.

"That we lost track of." Georgie says.

"And he's always come out of every battle victorious." Enterprise continues. "Imagine preserving that experience in a wisdom cube- you can't. These cubes are what brought us to life. Georgie, did you catch anything strange while you were with the higher ups?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary." Georgie says.

"I managed to steal a look further inside, and it looks like they were experimenting on the wisdom cubes." Bismarck says.

"There you go, they're probably trying to make a superweapon out of those wisdom cubes, and Jack is their test subject as he's come out victorious so many times." Enterprise concludes. "Now this is all speculation but they're probably going to make something out of those wisdom cubes. I'm not sure what they're going to make out of them but they're probably going to make something and then put it into Jack."

"And how did you come up with all of this?" Eugen and Zed ask.

"I could be wrong for all we know, but that's just what I think." Enterprise replies. "All right that was all I wanted to say. Let's head back."
