Tester: Let's see here...

In the files on "her" computer, Tester was checking through each folder and document trying to find anything she can to help her side of the conflict.

Tester: Tracking lasers, implosion mines...is that a fucking WAVE MOTION GUN?!

Tester:*sigh* These ideas are insane

?: Well you were the one who came up with them

Tester jumped a bit

Tester: Creator above, don't scare me like that Alpha!

Alpha: Well I just woke up, sorry about that

Tester:*sigh* It's alright, so anyways, breakfast?

Alpha: Sure, just let me freshen up

She entered the bathroom and closed it behind her, leaving Tester alone once again.

Tester: Alright, gotta keep searching

...

Tester: There!

She pulled up the document on the Dreadnought

Tester: "A supermassive weapon, a ship greater than Orochi that focuses more on battlefield supremacy over long ranged devastation"

- Features a 15cm thick crigentic hull that should be durable enough to survive several torpedo strikes in a single area. Deck is covered in 7cm thick vitosyn

Tester: From her memories, Crigentic is roughly 5x tougher than steel, but weights roughly twice as much. Vitosyn is 8x tougher than most woods so it's perfect for the deck

-The armaments will be roughly 240 mm hyper bore cannons on triple mounts, with 4 platforms across the ship. The secondaries will be the standard Kuiper Dart turrets, but in higher quantities than other ships

Tester: 24 cm?! If this thing shot it's lasers, even Friedrich's armor will be fried!

Tester: Alright, what's the final...bit...

- Last resort -

Should the Dreadnought be unable to continue in its primary goal and is either rendered unstable, outgunned, or critically damaged, it will enter protocol "Void-thinning"

Tester: Dear god...

- Protocol Void-thinning -

Upon activation, the Dreadnought will overcharge all weaponry with every last bit of its energy. Each shot can decimate mountains and repeated barrages will render any location or position, be it land or sea, empty of opposition.

This mode is catered for defense against and leverage to defeat the Abyssal Queen, USS Iowa

...

Tester shut off the computer and stared at the empty screen.

Tester: A weapon of that caliber, meant just to kill me?

She looked to the side, her sight falling upon a set of black wisdom cubes, filled to the brim with data.

Tester: I know I would be ok...but what about the others? If this weapon was actually created I doubt Azur lane could do anything to stop it

She heard the bathroom door open, with Alpha stepping out ready for the day. Tester quickly shook away her thoughts before turning to her.

Tester:*smiles* Looks like you dolled yourself up more than usual~

Alpha: Hm?

...

It took a few seconds for Alpha to realize what she meant, she once more turned a bright red.

Alpha: I-I just wanted to look good today!

Tester: Suuure... let's go with that

She was teasing her as she usually doesn't need to freshen up, considering the siren technology keeps them in Pristine condition, she only does it when she wants to impress someone.

Tester: Let's go!
—————

The sun was sitting low in the sky, as Azur lane was just starting it's activities for the day. Inside the commander's office, Kiana was already up and working on her next batch of paperwork.

Thanks to the idea Iowa had, Kiana is operating on a puppet model. Essentially, she is an AI.

*creak*

?: Commander?

Kiana: Come in Belfast

The maid in question opened the door fully and walked in, carrying a tray of goods.

Belfast: Would you like some tea to start the day?

Kiana: That would be appreciated

Belfast set the tray down on another table and set to making the tea. Kiana continued to slog through the paper that was gathered on her desk while this was happening.

Belfast: May I ask a question Commander?

Kiana: Go right ahead

Belfast: I'm sorry if this sounds a bit rude, but do you have any siblings?

Kiana: No...why do you ask?

Belfast: Nothing more than my curiosity, but you look oddly similar to Iowa

Kiana flinched for a second, thankfully Belfast was still turned and didn't notice.

Kiana: Heh, I've been told that before. The difference between us is I have white hair and blue eyes compared to her brown hair and violet eyes

Belfast: That is true, but if those two problems were taken care of, you would look exactly like her

Belfast finished making the tea and set it down on Kiana's desk. She took a sip and nodded to Belfast, who bowed and left the room.

...

Kiana sighed to herself, her blue eyes flashed several colors as she activated a Seer orb.

The connection sparked to life and Wo appeared on screen, with Siara sitting in the background playing games on a smaller throne next to Iowa's.

Wo: Hello, what is it you need K-423?

Kiana: I'm reporting in for the events of the previous day

Wo: Well, let's hear it then

Kiana: Firstly, the girls have been gaining confidence in their actions, as your forces haven't been authorized to kill on sight

Wo: I know of this, the Queen wishes to test the girls before enacting her plan

Kiana nodded, before clearing out her desk and opening a drawer, in the drawer was a full report.

Kiana: Please scan this

She held the paper to Seer, as the Abyssal glow coated over the words and then faded. On Wo's side of the call, the paper appeared in floating text above Seer.

Wo: Huh....well then...

Kiana: Yes, they're truly trying to take her down in anyway possible

Wo: With this and the Siren plans of the Dreadnought, I'm shocked to say that these forces are indirectly working together

The two smiled, knowing what's happening.

Kiana: It's just as our Queen predicted

Wo: Indeed it is. Good work K-423, I'll leave you now

The connection cut off as Kiana sat down once again. She put the file away and got back to work.

...

She put the pen down before she actually started to work, she stood up and silently made her way to the door.

Once she reached it, she pulled it open and watched as a head of white hair falls down in front of her, colliding with the ground.

The girl on the floor looked up, both fear and anger was flashing through her violet eyes.

Kiana: Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop...

Enterprise?
