Third person POV

In the main room of the Azur Lane base on a table sat a tech cash black and red were it's colors the ships in the room were Vestal, Wales, Hornet, Akashi, Belfast, Montana, Shadow, Enterprise, and Reaper. The cash opened up to a Black Wisdom Cube.

Enterprise: "What is this?"
Akashi: "It's what Akagi is using to build Orochi."
Wales: "A massive ship capable of controlling the Siren, just what is Sakura Empire building?"
Montana: "Something they clearly don't understand."
Shadow: "This warship how can they even control it if it's this powerful?"
Reaper: "All I know is we really don't want to fight it."

The door to the room opened up with Conqueror walking in he closed the door and before he could raise his notepad he saw the cube then tensed up. 

Montana: "Your late!"
Conqueror: "What is this?"

They filled him in Conqueror seemed better afterwards he was less tense and sat through the meeting without writing much else while all they could do was speculate. After some time the meeting ended the cube was sealed back up and everyone left Conqueror had decided to stop wearing his head covering. He didn't care anymore after all it's already been exposed at this point he saw no need for it he went to his ship and got on it he then went inside. The restoration of his ship was complete he walked around just looking over his ship.

Conqueror: "My ship is back to normal.. I still am unsure if that's a good or bad thing. I feel more dangerous to Azur Lane then the Crimson Axis is why? I am on their side so why does it feel so wrong to be in this base? Is it because Javelin is here? No that can't be it so then what is it?"

Conqueror's thoughts were interrupted by him ending up on the beach in front of the shops that have been set up he looked around and wondered how he got here he then felt something touching his hand. He looked down and saw Javelin was dragging him along somewhere.

Conqueror: "What?!? How did this happen?! Wales must have done something!"
Javelin: "Come on Conqueror! The others are waiting for us!"
Conqueror: "Others huh?.... MONTANA!!"

After some more walking the two made it to Wales, Montana, Shadow, and Reaper then they all started to spend the day together doing things like eating playing games and whatever else they could think of really. As the day went on Conqueror began to notice something about the things they were doing.

Conqueror: "Wales doesn't normally do things like this and the things we've been doing this is the stuff I would do with Javelin. When she remembered me at least are they trying to help her regain her memories? I tried for days to get her to remember me those days are burned into my memory."
Montana:  "Come on Conqueror your lagging behind."
Wales: "Yes theirs still more things we can do."
Conqueror: "I'm going back to my ship."
Javelin: "Huh?! Why?"
Reaper: "Why are you suddenly killing the mood?"
Shadow: "Stop being anti-social!"
Conqueror: "I just feel a bit out of it I must have eaten something bad."
Javelin: "Oh really I'll walk you back."
Conqueror: "No that's fine I'll be alright have a nice rest of your day."

With that Conqueror waved and left the group behind.

Javelin: "Was it something I did?"
Montana: "Dang this girl is good. Ahem no I'm sure it wasn't that hey there's Laffey and Unicorn why don't you go hang out with them?"
Javelin: "Alright I will."

Javelin then left the group the rest stayed together and sat down at a table.

Montana: "He caught on quicker then we expected."
Shadow: "Damn it I was sure this could work."
Reaper: "It was a long shot at him staying the whole day."
Wales: "After all that we still couldn't make him feel better."
Montana: "He doesn't exactly make it easy. He was just fine when he left the Paper Fleet so what happened in that year he was gone?"
Shadow: "I want to know why he came here in the first place."
Wales: "What?"
Shadow: "I mean if he is this against things like this why would he come here in the first place? He isn't an idiot he knew that the Royal Navy would be here."
Reaper: "Maybe he hoped that something had changed?"
Wales: "Maybe he did but I don't even know how he found out about this base."
Montana: "Wait you didn't send him anything?"
Wales: "We had no idea where he was we couldn't have. But just like almost every other question we ask him he won't answer."
Shadow: "How many things surround this guy honestly?"
Reaper: "I don't know if we want the answer to that question or the answers to some of the questions we have of him."
Montana: "Well us talking about it won't do anything let's take a break from this for now at least. We'll try and figure this out another time we right now should focus on that Cube for now."
