With the cool, piercing gaze of the slender redhead pinning you to the wall, you hover for perilous heartbeats between madly flailing for the answer she's waiting for and doubling down on your mistake, trading pride now for a shellacking later.
Your indecision is as brief as your attempted denial. But where humility fails, officiousness flourishes -you're a *professional,* and you have a *schedule.* “Just as well,” you tell the sour-looking young woman. “I was gonna find you later and have you watch it on my smartphone, anyway.”
Arizona's thin eyebrow twitches just a bit. You suppress an internal sigh. “Yeah, we need to talk, later.”
“Well that relatiOOF!” Zuikaku exclaims behind you as Shoukaku plants her elbow in the sprightly girl's midsection. Arizona's eyes fall to the paperwork in front of her as she begins shuffling it together and tapping it on the desk, ostentatiously clearing her workspace - but it's not like her to drop the conversation (so to speak) without *some* sort of acknowledgment. She seems, in her way, to be a little nonplussed.
You usher the rest of your little group in - Hamp, Shoukaku and Zuikaku, Akagi and Kaga - and Hate in the rearguard, holding open the door for his corgis to tow in the rollercart with the coffee on it. As they take their seats, you pull the projector screen down at the far end of the room (shoving aside an easel with some asinine diagram trying to add a *fifth* dimension to what they USED to call C-*3*) and then turn to your smartphone, pulling up the relevant “training video” from youtube. Then you turn on your phone's wi-fi, sign into the base network (working the onscreen keypad as deftly as one with hands your size is able) and finally bring up the proprietary app to set up the media stream. It's roughly akin to Chromecast, but it's “secure,” designed for the military and cost enough to purchase a new corvette.
AHA! I ARRIVED
“First. Some background,” you announce. “Most naval combat in the modern era revolves around the long-range guided missile, both for offense and defense. Aircraft are still very important, of course, but they also use missiles as their primary munition.”
“Long-range?” Hamp asks.
“Yeah. The longest ones can go upwards of a thousand miles.”
Hamp blinks. “Fukkin how?”
You tap the smartphone and bring up a picture onto the projector. “Behold. This was the first missile the Navy started working on immediately after the war - specifically for anti-aircraft defense. It was named the Talos missile.” You tap the screen again. “And here's a model of it, showing a crewman for scale. Notice anything?”
“It's fucking huge?” Hamp says drolly.
“It's the size of a plane!” Akagi exclaims.
“Precisely,” you say, nodding at Akagi. “It IS the size of a plane. This one was designed for anti-aircraft work, so it was built for shorter-ranged speed, but the long-range ones use modified versions of aircraft engines and actually have thin, spring-loaded wings - they're basically aircraft with computer guidance instead of a pilot.”
The others are familiar with this much at least, but Hamp is all ears. “Are they remotely controlled? Like radio-control planes?”
“The first ones were, actually,” you say. “You know the Zed Baker thing the carriers had to guide planes back home?”
“Yeah.”
“Later they refined that technique as a landing aid; same idea for much shorter ranges. An instrument that'd tell you what side of a very narrow radio beam you were on, it'd guide pilots right onto the runway. They used it in reverse for this missile; its equipment was calibrated to keep it riding the beam as it flew outward. Once it got close, it had its own radar receiver - just an antenna dish, really - and it'd home in on the energy it reflected from the mother ship's radar.”
Inb4-
Oh wait.
>>44612947
AHAHAH! First for fairies!
“Huh,” Hamp says. “But how was it controlled? Vaccum tubes?”
“Transistors, actually. Invented just after the war - same job, a hell of a lot smaller and tougher. We've got silicon-based circuits now which make them insanely compact.” You tap your phone. “Which is how we do shit like this. The guidance packages got smaller and smaller - hell, they just came out with a missile that can be fired out of an under-barrel launcher on rifles, like a rifle grenade on crack.”
“... huh,” Hamp allows. “So you can attack people from a thousand miles out?”
“As long as you know where they are - you still have to scout for them, of course.”
“How does the missile find its way?”
“A dozen different ways, but inertial guidance is the big one.”
“Inertial what-now?”
You give him a small smile. “Lemme show you.” You tap the button, and the 'training video' begins to play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ
Your small, captive audience undergoes a most fascinating metamorphosis as the short video plays. Zuikaku's jubilant curiosity slowly slackens into mortified confusion. Akagi's pleasant little patient smile never leaves her face, but her head's inclination grows steadily as the video drones on. Kaga's blank expression seems to harden like a kiln-fired brick. Shoukaku's the first one to glance at you questioningly, seeking an explanation you refuse to give - you point back at the video sternly. And Arizona -
- flicks her eyes back at the screen as you glance at her.
Huh.
“... it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called 'error',” the video finishes.
You clap your hands together briskly. “So! Any questions?”
Akagi is the first to raise her hand.
“Yes, Akagi?”
“How does the missile know where it is, again?” she asks politely.
“Oh,” Hamp chimes in. “See, it knows where it isn't.”
“... but how?” she persists, a look of honest bafflement on her face.
“Easy,” Hamp says airily. “It's moving, so in a few seconds it'll be where it wasn't, and then that's where it is.”
“... but where *is* that?”
“Where it wasn't.”
“Ah,” Akagi says faintly.
“I believe,” Kaga cuts in sharply, “she means to ask how the missile knows *where* it wasn't was located at.”
“In the past,” Hamp says. “Because that's where it now *is.*”
“WHERE is that place!?”
“Where the missile is.”
“WHERE IS THAT?”
“Dunno,” Hamp says. “You'd have to ask the missile, because it always - ACK!” he squawks as Kaga shoves Hamp bodily, causing him to pitch back in his cheap folding chair. He sprawls on his back, Starbucks cup held straight-up aloft to prevent a spill of the precious liquid. Kaga shoots you a challenging look and you hold up your palms in chary surrender - no jury on earth would convict her, and you both know it.
A soft rapping of knuckles on wood draws your eyes to Arizona. She makes a bang-shooty motion with her thumb and forefinger, then shrugs inquisitively.

Lets see if we can find footage of a Zumwalt class ship or something else armed with a similar size gun. It would make sense for some navies to load artillery guns onto their ships for additional punch.

HMS Campbeltown has a crew of some 265 commandos and 346 navy personnel, all armed to the teeth and fully capable of boarding the living SHIT out of a battleship and assuming complete control of his systems.
We had BETTER get some fucking fairy USMC or Imperial Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces to fuck Abyssal shit up, or I'mma riot. I've wanted to see tiny, 6-inch-high motherfuckers with anti-tank rifles, rockets, mortars and machine guns since we first met Arizona's engineer.

I wonder if the BC part of NBC does anything to Abyssals.I guess you don't know 'til you try
Hey, I got an idea for Naka. If the Abyssals are tapping your brain, trying to mess around with you... could you do the same thing back to them? The Abyss looks into you, and you stare back?
Someone could possibly get some good intelligence on them that way. Find out what makes them tick.

Now, now. She's a sapient being so using her isn't right. Although working with her to harness and then unleash her. . . uhh, potential is completely legit.

The more the better. Especially if she can keep that sleek form of hers.
She's got a hell of a frame to build off of.
>>44613766

Although, on that note, I wonder what Abyssals do in their off time. Train? Relax? Sleep? Write angsty poetry?

How else are you going to keep your coco warm at the kind of temperatures the deep sea reaches?
That said, all this talk of turning abyssal for 'upgrades' then turning back is crazy. We don't even know if Abyssals want, or even CAN return to normal shipgirls. And what about their classes that don't correspond to actual ships with a grudge?
If you want upgrades, just leave it to the fairy engineers and Akashi... Is she even around yet? We need her around.
>>44613875Please, I just want to help, I don't want you to suffer, I don't want the abyss to take anyone, in combat, or on land...
In all seriousness, I think trying to help Naka achieve some sort of harmony between her shipgirl-ness and her abyssal-ness would go a long way to figuring out how to end this war.
Because wars don't usually end when you kill absolutely everyone, they end when one side is no longer fighting. "Cure" might not be possible, but ending the raids and just getting them to at least calm down could be doable.
We probably won't be friends.

Try to capture more shipgirls that they might harvest base planning to make underwater life more comfortable. Alternatively, trying to hijack admirals so they can quit attacking at random.
>>44613906
Not him.
I *had* an iphone, years ago, back when they were, for better or worse, objectively better than the pretty weak-ass alternatives.
These days I have an android, however.
>>44613941
So you're saying we should teach them the inner workings of Zen.
Some anon mentioned in the previous thread that Naka hating her situation is what is making it worse, because Abyssals are made from hate.
>>44613941
Naka, the unlikely key to ending the war? It's just crazy enough to work, or get everyone killed!
>>44613866
>>44613925
Oh yes.
By the way, just read Shattered Sword. I assume half of you faggots already read it, but for the rest I fucking recommend it. For plus points, imagine them as Kanmusus and try to picture Akagi having an indigestion.
>>44613935
AND HE'S AMERICAN!
>>44613836
Yeah. That went both ways, too. Sure, it ended up welping two good units (and almost cost the PPDC a third) because the enemy was able to tailor-generate specialized monsters to bugger them over, but in the end, it paid off... the second time around.
If we can get extraordinarily lucky and pin down the location of RFV, well...
>>44613958
So how exactly would they get infomation from captured admirals?
Do the Abyssals have their own versions of Kongo (Dess) to torment Admirals with?
>>44613967
Maybe.
Although Taoism might be closer to their condition. What with Shipgirls and Abyssals being two sides of the same coin. Maybe it's unhealthy for both to deny their true nature?
>>44613877

>>44613875
Apologies. I would not have suggested such were it not for looking at the bigger picture - we have a potential intelligence leak in our midst (you are/were the bloody secretary for a while, who knows what kind of sensitive intel you spotted while in that position, and if the Abyss is reaming your mind...).
Besides, you could also plant seeds in their mind analogues. Like the full track of every damn song Justin Bieber has ever made/covered. That should cause a bit of disruption, no? Or just a never-ending loop of Rick Astley...
