*Midnight*

Admiral Jones is currently at the docks, blankly staring at the seas.

"Commander" 

He heard a voice coming from behind. He turns and found a girl. She turns out to be Admiral Jones' first summoned shipgirl

A. Jones: Cleveland. 

Cleveland: Gazing at the seas I see! something on your mind?

A. Jones: After learning about Azur Lane and the Sirens yesterday, I got so confused and the things that are happening are weird. And I know that the other admirals are weirded out as well

Cleveland: The other chosen ones huh? Of course, they will

A. Jones: I have a question, Cleveland.

Cleveland: What is it?

A. Jones: How come that... no one but only us that received the cube... knows what the Sirens are and their intentions?

Cleveland takes a step forward and then crosses her arms. 

Cleveland: Tell me, commander, does everyone keep an eye on the seas these days? There aren't. Even since we first came, no one is interested

Yes, there were wars, but keep in mind that we only visit once per 300 years and maybe stay in your world for a decade or more. But after the Sirens are defeated, we'll leave

 We did a great job to make everything hidden. What do you think will happen if the public knows? you can think of every worst thing possible when that happens. 

A. Jones: Then let me apologize in advance

Cleveland: H-huh?

A. Jones: This era is currently modern and advance. Not as advance as the Sirens' technology, but you can say that everything is much easier to do now. I cannot promise you that the public won't know about our battles

Cleveland: That'll be a problem

"Commander"

Another shipgirl calling him from behind. They both turn and saw that it was Lexington, Admiral Jones' guide ship. She's wearing her armament/battle outfit. 

A. Jones: Lexington! this is...

Lexington: Oh, right. This is my battle outfit. Still, weirded out?

Cleveland: *Laughs* He will. 

Lexington: Commander, requesting permission to sortie

A. Jones: Sortie? 

Lexington: We need to make sure that there aren't enemy bases nearby. They build bases on the sea and create powerful ships. They're very dangerous when in numbers

Cleveland: So, commander? You don't have to worry, we're used to doing this kind of stuff!

A. Jones:  I have a question before you go. How could we know that they are on the move?

Cleveland: Other than scouting, the cubes will tell you. When the presence of the Sirens gets stronger, the cube will turn into red and blink rapidly. We will then have at least 10 minutes to prepare before it teleports us to the nearest land to the enemy. 

Lexington: Forgot to mention, the cube calls the nearest person for help. That is why the chosen admirals are located in different places. Other Admirals from far places can join but they will arrive late. The farther the location, the longer the delay of the teleportation
