You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
Poor Portland seemed to be completely out of it, even when you all reported to the debriefing room where both the Admiral and Captain Takeuchi were waiting, no doubt to dissect you and your sisters' performance during the last battle. Sam's there too, though she's just sitting quietly beside the Admiral, a smug smirk on her face. You and Johnston sit down immediately, while Portland has to be prompted to sit down with some help from Heerman, her mind still shattered from her sudden "promotion".
"T-Task force leader for Taffy 3..." She mumbles with a mixture of disbelief and horror. Mostly horror.
"Excuse me?" The Captain turns.
"Oh, it's nothing!" You say cheerfully, covering up Portland's funk. "She's just tired!"
"Ah, I see." The Captain nods and makes no further inquiry. "Anyways, we've been reviewing the footage taken from our drones and STRIKE-1 of your performance, and so far, things appear to be.... promising."

I don't know why, I don't know what sort of drugs I took to come up with this idea, I definitely do remember that I did not take any drugs to come up with the idea. But hear me out. Recently I got this theme song stuck in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqYYMf1nWKE
And I want to fuse the Taffy-3 with the Mazinger-Z series Super Robots. Specifically, Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger, and Mazinkaiser. I don't know how, or why, but it feels like this combination is possible.

"Damn right we are!" You say proudly.
"Now, don't get too ahead of ourselves, here." The Captain grunts. "While the three of you clearly have the right attitude, you don't quite have the right restraint."
"What?" You blink.
"See this right here." The Captain plays a video showing you making the run at the Abyssal CL that was protecting the transport. The that nearly nailed you but you managed to take out with a well thrown depth charge. "While your improvised attack was certainly effective, if that light cruiser had been a little more accurate or had a little more armor, such a run like this could have gotten you sunk."
Your hands ball into fists.

"You have a point, sir." You grudgingly admit. No matter what you could say, under any other circumstances, that CL had you dead to rights and you knew it.
"That's why the Admiral decided decided to assign you under Portland. Hopefully some of her restraint will rub off on you." The Captain nods.
Ugh.
Portland finally shakes herself somewhat free from her funk.
"O-of course. The Admiral always knows best!" She nods quickly.
UGH.
"However, I do commend you with sending Johnston and Heerman to support Portland. Had you not done that, she could have taken severe damage from enemy torpedoes." The Captain continues.
Well, that was a little better, at least.
"We have to the agreement that had your force had a few more ships, circumstances would have turned out very differently." The Admiral finally speaks up, his voice warm and gentle as always. "Because of this, we will allow you add an additional two ships to your task force, up to Portland's discretion."
Wonderful.
"Anyways, that's all for now." The Captain says. "I suggest you all make a visit to the repair bay to heal up any fatigue. Also, Hoel, Shen and Vahlen have both expressed a desire to talk to you."
"Really?" You frown. What could either of them want, you wonder.
"Anyways, dismissed." The Captain says as he walks out of the room. The Admiral gives a warm smile to you all and gets up, Sam quickly opening the door for him. As the Admiral exits, Sam quietly gives you a dual thumbs up before following him out.
Huh, now what...

""Hey, Hoel, you wanna come along with us to the repair bay?" Johnston slaps a hand on your shoulder, a devilish grin on her face. "We can finally check out what's under Portland's armor!"
"Tempting, but I'm gonna pass for now. I wanna see what Shen wants to talk to me about." You respond.
"Awww, fine. More fun for me and Heerman!" Johnston smiles, completely unphased at your rejection. "Have fun!"
You give your sisters a little wave as they drag poor Portland off. She probably would have given more of a fight if she still weren't reeling from the effects of her new promotion. Kinda a shame you wouldn't be there to see it, really. You quickly make your way over to the armory, where you find Shen and a mixed team of human and fairy mechanics crawling all over your heavily damaged Rig.
"I should have known you would wreck your Rig again on your first mission." Shen sighs and shakes his head.
"I don't think you called me here to complain about THAT, did you?" You cross your arms skeptically.
"Of course not." Shen walks over to a nearby work table where you see two bats. Your old wooden one and what looks to be a metal bat. "I've managed to fabricate a new bat for you out of much stronger and lighter materials. It lacks the pure hitting power of your old bat, but you'll be able wield it far more effectively and quickly thanks to its lighter weight. Whichever you choose is up to you."
You open your mouth to say something before being cut off.
"And no, you can't take both. Your Rig will only accept one bat at any time." Shen cautions.

"Oooooh, that shiny metal one looks neat." You grin as you pick it up and give it a few practice swings. You're caught off guard at just how LIGHT it is. It's practically like a feather in your hands. You almost doubt it's an actual, solid object until knock it against an inert Rig and hear the nice, hearty sound of metal clanging against metal. Jesus you wonder just how FAST you could swing this thing!
"You did a real nice job, Shen!" You smile brightly. "I feel like I can take on a hundred Abyssals with this!"
"Let's hope you don't get into a situation like that." Shen chuckles nervously. "Battles like that tend to mean heavily damaged rigs."
"Ah, don't sweat it, Shen!" You laugh heartily, though you get the feeling that's just making him worry more.

I know almost nothing about baseball, but I'd be pretty hyped if it became a thing in this quest.

>>43864123
Certain high schools in Japan are famous for their baseball players. Like, on national news famous. Some schools get tv features when Koshien rolls around.
>>43864156
>>43864123
There's the Chunichi Dragons from Nagoya, for one.
I think the Yomiuri Giants are still a big thing over there too.
>>43864139
I prefer the idea that we collect cards. Although the argument can be made that we can't exactly just find cards everywhere.
Unless the cards belonged to one of our old crew and can be found by defeating abyssals and putting old demons to rest, as it were.

"Hey Shen, while we're here, how about you tell me a little more about those upgrades?" You ask. "Like, how exactly does the whole thing work?"
"Ah, well." Shen sits down on a chair, first shooing a small gaggle of faeries off of it. "I think I've already told you how only ships that have been in the field repeatedly can accept upgrades onto their Rigs. When a shipgirl reaches that point, she can be refitted."
"Refitted?"
"Like you would normally be in a shipyard." Shen explains. "We can add a lot of incremental upgrades. A few more guns, some more armor, a little more engine power. We can also add in one major upgrade, putting in some out of period equipment."
"And is this repeatable or a one time thing?" You ask.
"It is repeatable, but the gaps between refits get larger and larger." Shen says. "Annapolis I believe is Flight 2, meaning she's gone through two refits. She chose satellite uplinks and AEGIS radar system for her upgrades. Excellent support systems."
"How about something a bit more... punchy?" You point to a battleship Rig, bristling with guns and cannons.
"Of course we have modernized weapon systems, but we'll just have to wait for your first refit to come along." Shen gives a slight smile. "Anyways, we've still got a lot of work to do. Not only do we have to fix your Rig but we have to follow up maintenance for Portland and your sisters."
"Yeah, no problem." You say, dismissing your bat. The weapon dissolves into the air and rematerializes on your Rig, nestled safely in its carrying holster.

After saying a quick farewell to Shen, you head over next door to the research labs, where Vahlen would be. As you approach, the guards posted around the building give you wary looks, but otherwise let you pass. You were a shipgirl, after all. Again, you enter the stark white, overly clean interior. You let the receptionist/guard stationed at the front desk that you're here to see Vahlen, and are told to wait until she comes out.
Almost immediately you see one of the secure doors leading out of the door hiss open, and something flies out at you.

You stand you ground. In this place, you're reasonably sure there wouldn't be anything that could pose any real threat to. Nonetheless, you brace yourself, preparing for impact-
-only to be caught off guard as Vahlen wraps her arms around you and kisses you on the forehead.
"Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Hoel!" Vahlen says cheerfully, her lab coat reeking of bleach and disinfectant. "You have no idea what you have done for us!"
"Um, thanks?" You wheeze, unsure of whether you want to use your superior strength to shrug her off. "All I did was capture an Abyssal that was particularly smart or threatening."
"Oh, it wasn't but it's the first live capture of an Abyssal since.... well.. ever!" Vahlen finally lets go of you and pats you on the head. "It may not seem like much, but even the smallest of changes can have the largest of impacts!"
"Uh huh, okay." You nod a bit uncertainly. "So why'd you call me over here?"
"Well, I wanted to show you the fruits of our labor!" Vahlen says happily. "Just follow us down to the lab..."
Vahlen gestures the security door, and you get this scary feeling that once you go in you weren't coming out. Just your imagination... right?

Not cinematic enough. The fortifications don't loom menacingly as you approach the beach.
>>43865226
It's to keep homeless from sleeping there.
>>43865259
Well it's probably because it's funny seeing everybody die when you've breached the shingle, and the BUNKER GUNS DON'T EVEN DEPRESS THAT LOW.

The bunker guns don't, but the ones on the cliff top sure do.

"Sure thing." You say a bit nervously as you follow Vahlen through the large security doors.
Once again, it feels like your walking through a very macabre aquarium. All along the walls were tanks of preservative, each one containing some type of Abyssal corpse, all of them torn up or cut apart in some way. Whether it was from combat damage of Vahlen's "experiments", you weren't sure.
"So, uh, you dissect a lot of Abyssals here, huh?" You ask, trying to distract yourself from how creepy this place was.
"Of course. Every recovered Abyssal corpse is additional research material for us, and denies the Abyssals the ability to recycle them."
"Oh yeah..." You nod, remembering how Vahlen told you how the Abyssals could recycle the corpses of their dead into raw material for new Abyssals.
Finally, Vahlen leads you to a sort of observation window. Down below, you could see what appeared to be half operating room half theater. A team of white coated doctors were surrounding the still alive Abyssal transport, jamming probes and all manner of different instruments into it. To it's credit the creature doesn't make any noise or appear to be in any pain.
"We discovered early on that it doesn't have pain receptors." Vahlen explains, as if reading your mind. "In fact, it hardly has any sort of nervous system at all. Just enough for basic motor functions. It is a highly specialized and extremely efficient creature, meant to carry large loads of cargo and nothing else."
You notice that there's a large hose plugged right its abdomen, pumping out a viscous, black liquid to an unseen destination.
You wince as your stomach starts to twist in on itself.

gais, I found this comprehensive chart on abyssal evolution! unfortunately the text is written in moonspeak.
>>43865629
Chart is invalid, no Hoppou chan.
>>43865629
In other hand, in many doujins the abyssal are comes from defeated shipgirls....
I still remember one make by Fatalpulse, and the one that features Nagato. And they are not the only one.
It makes me shudder sometimes.
>>43865662
or it's out of date.
>>43865384
"What exactly is that black stuff?" You ask, pointing to the hose.
"I'm afraid that's classified information." Vahlen says sternly. "However, what I can tell you is that this is the common material that Abyssals process through their digestive systems. That fluid is quite literally the lifeblood of all Abyssals. Understanding it is the key to understanding how to defeat them."
"That sounds an awful lot like that structural gel Shen was using." You say darkly.
"I cannot comment on that." Vahlen huffs. "That information is above even a shipgirl's clearance level."
"Huh, guess the Navy's always gotta have its secrets." You sigh, still uncomfortable at the possibility of your Rig being made out of Abyssal shit. "You uh... haven't dissected any shipgirls, have you?"
"Oh, I would love to!" Vahlen catches herself when she realizes too late who she's talking to and blushes. "I mean... .there has never been any opportunity to. The Admiral was always very strict with his orders that shipgirls were off limits to experimentation! I would never operate on a shipgirl without authorization!"
"Too late there, Doctor." You grunt. "Okay, I'm... outta... heeereee..."
Suddenly, your legs give out from under you and you collapse on the cold white tile.
"Hoel? Hoel!" Vahlen kneels down to check you. "Have you gone to the repair bay at all yet?"
You manage to shake your head.
"Oh dear. Ignoring repair times for extended periods after a mission will negatively impact your health!" Vahlen tuts. "Thankfully, we have our own repair facilities here that you may use! They were the original prototypes, but they still function just as well a the full scale version!"
