You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!

"And, honest to god, I get into an honest to god sword fight with her!" You laugh through the special phone Anna had given you.

"Fucking seriously?" Woel groans from the other end of the line. "Shit, I wish I was there to see that!"

"Yeah, me too." You sigh. "But man, Kidd's a real piece of work, ya know? She's been patrolling up and down the entire northeast coast for three whole fucking months and nobody realized!"

"How the hell is that possible?" Your Abyssal opposite asked in confusion. "Aren't the coasts supposed to be heavily protected?"

"Yeah, well, most of the Navy patrols are our beyond visual range of the coast." You explain. "And any civvies that saw her assumed she was already part of the Navy and never reported her."

"Weird."

"Yeah."

"Still, I wish I was there... or anywhere, really." Woel sighed, not even trying to hide her frustration.

"What, you don't like the Queen Mary?" You blink.

"Oh no, Mary's super nice and all, taking me in like this!" Woel insists. "Hell, she even got me a job here!"

"Oh?" A grin creeps across your face. "What kinda job?"

"...that's none of your business." Woel said defensively.

"You're a maid, aren't you?" You give a very wide, shit-eating grin that you oh so wish that Woel could see.

"O-o-of course not!" Woel stammers unconvincingly. "I-I just help Mary with the housekeeping, is all!"

"So... basically a maid." You confirm. "Do you get the cute uniform too?"

"S-shut up!" Woel wails, all but confirming it.

"Bet ya look real cute in it!" You continue.

"Stoooop iiiiiiiit!" Woel wails.

That's only Hoel in a maid dress. It isn't Abyssal Hoel in a maid dress.

>>PRESS THE ATTACK
ask if she has a spare uniform she can send over!

But that'd require her to ship them across the country. It'd be better to just buy one off Amazon.

>PRESS THE ATTACK

Can we get a Snapchat? Seems like it'd be the most topically relevant messaging app to have and share bantz with Woel.

Why are the sharks having a meeting at IKEA?

>Letting the government learn of Woel's existence through social media

I guess, it's just since it's already fitted to her it's also fitted to hoel!

.....shit. completely forgot about that.

"Have any guys hit on you yet?" You continue to press the attack.

"HOEL I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I WILL FIND A WAY TO REACH THROUGH THIS PHONE AND THROTTLE YOU!" Woel roars.

"You really gotta send pictures! I always wanted to see what I'd look like in one! Without actually wearing it, of course!"

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-" Woel is about to belt out a truly venomous curse before you hear Mary shush her in the background.

"Don't be too loud, or you'll disturb the guests!" You can faintly hear the cruise ship tut.

"R-right." Woel groans. "Can... can we just talk about something else?"

"Yeah, yeah." You nod. You guess that's enough teasing for now, especially as you glance at your timer. All the various alphabet agencies were for sure trying to track down the signal, and Anna warned you that just to be safe, to keep calls under a few minutes at any time. "So how's LA bee treating you?"

"It's... weird." Woel sighs. "I mean, I still have most of your memories, you know? I REMEMBER being here, being to a lot of places here, but at the same time I KNOW I've never actually stepped foot in this city until now. It's just... impossible to describe. Gives me the chills, really."

"Sorry, I didn't really know anywhere else for you to go." You sigh.

"Hey, I don't blame you. I got dealt a pretty shitty hand." Woel sighs back. "But, well, my arm's healed up, and Mary's willing to give me a decent chunk of cash. Enough to keep me going for a while. I kinda just want to... go out there, you know? I don't want to be cooped up in this beached ship for the rest of the my life. No offense, Mary."

"None taken!"

Aw nuts, you weren't expecting the conversation to take this direction. Then again, since Woel was practically a mirror image of you, you guess you shouldn't be surprised she was getting anxious about being sidelined like this.

Dunno

What possible use could anyone have for buying that many sharks?

Some people like to swim with the sharks.

>Well, it's not like I can stop you.

Just don't become a superhero that strikes fear into the hearts of criminal scum.

>>Well, it's not like I can stop you.
>>I really think it's better for you to stick with Mary.
I'd say these two are not mutually exclusive...

>>Well, it's not like I can stop you.

"I think its better to keep Mary as your homebase. Go travel, but remember to come back to her"

>I think you should stick with Mary for a little while, explore the city little by little, until you think you are ready.

And whateveryou do, don't make terriblepuns. I can't live with myself knowing that "I" would make them.

>Becomes a hero anyway
>Gets a Coast Guard girl after her tail

"Well, it's not like I can stop you." You sigh. "Like, I of all people should know that I'm TERRIBLE at following orders. Just... just be careful, okay? There are things other than Abyssals and Vahlen to worry about out there..."

"God, yer starting to sound morel like Enterprise or Mulberry!" Woel chortles.

"No shit?" You chuckle right when your timer begins beeping madly. "Shit, guess time's up. See ya next time, okay?"

"Yeah, looking forward to it." Woel responds happily before you hang up.

You sigh as you slide the phone into your pack, away from prying eyes. You knew it was already encrypted, so it wouldn't be easy to crack if it got picked up by a random passerby, but still, you didn't want to take the risk.

You sorta guess that you were starting to get used to Norfolk, even if the weather was colder and drearier than even the worst day at Pearl Harbor. Things were starting to fall into a bit of a consistent schedule, with regular patrols and scouting missions. Right now, though, with the recovery of Kidd, things were being a bit hectic. Portland and San Diego were busy putting Kidd through her "orientation" to get her up to speed with current USN procedures, tactics, and rules. You were sure she was having a grand old time.

Meanwhile, Haida should be just coming back from a northern patrol with the Fletchers, to get them used to cold weather ops. A greeting from a familiar face should cheer them up.

Meanwhile, your sisters Johnston and Heerman along with White Plains were out trying to find a decent place to eat other than the on-base mess hall. Apparently options were pretty limited here, especially with leave policies for shipgirls here.

And you were hearing rumors that the Captain was prepping you all for an upcoming "special mission..."

>See how Kidd is doing.
>Check on Haida and the Fletcher.
>Check on your sisters.
>See what the Captain is up to.
>Other

Only can get more cliche is if they're BFFs when they're not on the job.

>See what the Captain is up to.

>Check on your sisters.

>>See how Kidd is doing.

>>See how Kidd is doing.

The triplets are fine--though I pray that White Plains can retain her sanity with them around.

>>See what the Captain is up to.

Special mission you say? Info plz.

>>Check on your sisters.

Haven't seen them in a while.

>>Check on Haida and the Fletcher.

>>Check on your sisters.

You go off to see how your sisters are doing. You were feeling a bit hungry yourself, and... well... it just wasn't the same without Mulberry around. That perhaps was one of the biggest things you missed about Pearl. Fortunately, tracking them down wasn't too hard. You just had to find the closest McDonalds, which just so happened to be very near the base itself. Unsurprisingly, you could see the building was absolutely PACKED with both regular human sailors and the local shipgirls. You were just barely able to pick out the heads of your sisters and White Plains... and Anna, surprisingly enough. You squeeze your way through the mass of people to link up with them.

"Oh, hey Hoel!" Johnston grins as she punches you in the shoulder. "How was the call? Woel doing well?"

"As well as she can." You shrug. "Anna, you doing okay?"

"Y-yeah!" Anna nods her head rapidly. "It's not like Kidd hurt me or anything! It was just a bit scary! Plus, well, I guess it beats having to sail near the Dark Zone..."

>What exactly IS the Dark Zone?
>So any of you heard about what the Captain is planning?
>So, opinions on Kidd?

No, it's a place where weird shit happens and where a disembodied Rod Serling narrates

nah. The true dark zone is the zone that's under the sea. Surface level of the dark zone is the twilight zone.

>What exactly IS the Dark Zone?

Or a zone of weird shit where Russian shipgirls hang out

fitting music to go with hibiki's dance.

"What exactly IS the Dark Zone, Anna?" You ask the communications ship. "I keep hearing it being mentioned, but nobody's really ever actually said what it is."

"Well..." Anna bites her lip. "Technically, there's TWO Dark Zones, around the North and South Poles. It's in those two places that the Abyssals really took root and... strange things began to happen. Weird atmospheric events and anomalous, constant storm activity have made this phenomenon called the Storm Wall. It's just a solid barrier of black fog clouds, which makes it all but impossible for satellites or other remote sensors from seeing what's going on in there. No signals come out, either. And every drone we've sent through the Storm Wall has never gone back. So... we have no idea what's going on in the Poles, hence the term 'Dark Zone.'"

"I see." You frown. "So basically they're the Abyssals' main headquarters."

"M-most likely." Anna nods rapidly. "W-we've seen Abyssals shipping raw materials in and fresh Abyssal units coming out."

"Guess that means we're eventually have to go through it, huh?" You look to Johnston, Heerman, and White Plains.

"W-well hopefully we figure out a way to cross the Storm Wall safely!" Anna says quickly. "Or find out what's causing it in the first place..."

"That's why you were being sent out there?" Heerman asks.

"Mhm!" Anna nods. "They're hard to detect, but we've found occasional, weak signals emanating from beyond the Storm Wall. We've been trying to make sense of them, but all we have are pieces and fragments. Nothing even resembling useful data..."

"Huh, shame." Johnston sighs. "Why don't we just drive a whole damn fleet through there? Screw that wall!"

"Obviously, the issue is that everything that's gone through the Storm Wall has never coe back." White Plains points out.

"Well, it'll be different if's us!" Johnston boasts.

>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
>Heh, I'd like to see the Abyssals try and stop us.
>Other

>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
There's being brave, and being an idiot.

>Heh, I'd like to see the Abyssals try and stop us.

>>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

>>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
There's more sensible options to try first. Like nuking the shit out of the Dark Zones.

>>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

>What would happen to Woel if she went into the Dark Zone?

that would cause rising sea levels and global warming. Which would also give abyssals more space at sea. Which is a stupid idea user.

>Heh, I'd like to see the Abyssals try and stop us.

>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

I'm getting Strange Journey Vibes from this, as it sounds similar to the Swartzcwald (sp)

And then the nukes disappear when they enter the Zone.

And over time, rumors trickle in of an Abyssal SSBN...

>>Other
Didn't the abyssals in our head literally say that we'd bring everyone to a frozen wasteland which would doom them all?

Maybe we should avoid related plans.

Who would have a bitchin' cool hat

And we will get that hat, likely through violence

>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

Either that or it leads to some weird multi-dimensional rift thingy with different versions of ourselves.

>In front of a board of investigation
>After killing the SSBN Princess
>"So how could you let several dozen nuclear warheads be lost to the ocean, Miss Hoel?"

"Hey now, let's not get ahead of ourselves, here." You chuckle nervously. "There's plenty of Abyssals out here that we need to take care of first!"

"Hmmm, I guess you're right!" Johnston smiles happily. "We'll send them all running back, and THEN we kick that damn wall down!"

"I-I wish I had the confidence of a destroyer!" Anna nodded.

"So, since your original mission got err... 'interrupted', are you gonna be sent out there again?" You ask Anna.

"It looks like it, yes." Anna's nervousness is clear on her face. "Even though I'm under heavy escort, going so close to the Dark Zone is always so scary! Y-you never know if Abyssals will just come out of the Wall and start attacking!"

"Well, if that ever happens, just let us know! I'll be glad to give you an escort!" You grin as you pat Anna on the head.

"Us too!" Johnston and Heerman nod in agreement.

"Wait..." White Plains frowns. "Aren't we supposed to be going on a special mission, though? Wouldn't those conflict?"

>Let's go ask the Captain, then.
>Eh, I wouldn't worry about it.
>Other

Would it have alternate versions of ourself and Woel?
