A few minutes after Georgie proposed killing time, a shell exploded just outside their front door.
"What the heck?!" Bismarck shouts as everyone rushes outside to see who fired the shot. Unsurprisingly a small group of Siren ships had found the Ironblood docks and were firing at random. "I should have expected this."
"Well, since they're so close, do you want to just go ahead and take shots at them from solid ground?" Eugen asks.
"We may be no artillery force but sure." Bismarck chuckles back as the battleships ready their cannons and start shooting at the Sirens. The carriers and the others simply sit back and watch as the Siren ships get pelted with heavy shells, and they quickly back away when they realize that the Sirens are also targeting them.
"Do these guys ever give up?" Zed mumbles. "I think I've lost track of how many times we've trounced them."
"They've had their moments but still, you're right." Enterprise replies. A few minutes of gunfire passes but neither side has managed to actually hit anything other than the water or the ground.
"Man is our aim really that bad?" Hood asks. "I don't recall missing shots like this."
"I don't think it's just you." Tirpitz replies. "I've been missing a lot of mine as well, but then again so have the Sirens."
"Hey Enty! You guys just wanna send your planes out to deal with them?" Georgie calls out, and she gets her answer as the carriers send out their planes to finish the job. "Were they even trying?"
"I'm not sure. Usually the Sirens would be much more accurate than this." Yorktown says.
"Whatever the case they're still not to be trifled with." Tirpitz says as the girls examine the damage. "Fortunately they haven't done too much."
"This definitely looks better than what happens when they attack the Royal Navy docks." Wales says. "We get it much worse."
"Well, without anything more to do, who wants to see what the Royal Navy has been up to?" Zed asks.
"I guess, see if they're trying anything." Hood replies as the girls decide to head over to the Royal Navy docks. Once the girls get there they notice that the docks haven't been completely repaired yet from Jack's crazed attack, but most of the buildings have been restored and upon taking a peek inside, the people are already hard at work researching various things and whatnot.
"We should keep an eye on them." Georgie whispers to her sister.
"Agreed." Wales whispers back, and the girls quickly leave before they're spotted. Once they're sure that nobody is trailing them the group heads back to the Ironblood docks and head inside the dorm.
"You do know there's a training room in here right?" Bismarck asks. "If you're ever bored, you can always practice stuff in there."
"What do you have in there? We've only been here for a few days after all." Enterprise asks as Bismarck leads everyone into the training room. It makes up over half the dorm building and there's everything that one could possibly use to hone their skills, ranging from various targets, to practice weapons, to even remote controlled targets.
"This is so cool!" Zuikaku says as she controls one of the remote targets and simply looks at Enterprise, who's getting her bow ready. "Think you can hit this?" She chuckles as she begins moving the target erratically.
"Sure I can." Enterprise chuckles back as she takes a shot and nails the target dead center, with Zuikaku letting the target land on the ground to confirm the hit.
"We could be in here for a while." Hood chuckles as everyone begins using the training equipment to hone their skills.
