William D. Porter was running at top speed through the streets of Yokosuka Naval Base, terrified out of her mind. Her eyes were scrunched tightly shut, tears forming at the corners, as she made a blind dash for freedom from the terrifying specter looming behind her, one from whom she could never seem to escape.
"Great job! You're as fast as I thought!" Shimakaze shouted encouragingly from her place close behind. "But you would be so much faster if you put this on!"
Gasping at how CLOSE Shimakaze sounded, Willie whipped her head around, looking desperately over her shoulder, only to see the Japanese destroyer much, much closer than she had dared fear.
And in Shimakaze's hands, proffered as a gift, was one of her sets of clothing. Clothing that she fully expected Willie to actually wear.
The thought of donning such an outfit made Willie simultaneously wail with horror and flush with embarrassment. The day had started well enough. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Shimakaze had greeted her with a smile. Then she had insisted that Willie put on that... abomination of an outfit, and all of a sudden the morning had turned into an impromptu jogging session. From Shimakaze's viewpoint, at least.
Willie just wanted to get as far away from the Sailor Thong getup as was humanly possible. Shimakaze just wasn't getting the memo, there.
"I-I-I k-keep telling, you, I don't w-wanna-"
"Uh, Willie, look out for that-"
And then Willie ran face-first into a brick wall.
"...Ouch," Shimakaze observed, screeching to a halt. "Uh, are you okay, Willie? Did you shift in time?"
Wordlessly, Willie slid down the wall, face-first, until she hit her knees. Overcome with pain and the sheer humilation of running into a STUPID wall right in front of STUPID Shimakaze, she burst into tears, unsuccessfully trying to hide her mortification behind her hands.
"Ah, Willie?!" Panicked, Shimakaze was beside the American destroyer in an instant, checking her over for injuries. She poked Willie's cheek. "Metal. It honestly looks like the wall got the worst of it... are you okay?" The blonde destroyer looked askance at the new crack in the wall. Warship hull beat brick any day of the week, after all.
"...why..." Willie whispered thickly.
"Why what?" Shimakaze asked, blinking.
"Why do I have to be such a screw-up?!" Willie wailed, pounding on the wall weakly.
"You're not a screw-up."
"Have you read ANYTHING about me?!" Willie sobbed, looking over at Shimakaze, who was staring back blankly.
"Sure. Your first voyage was with a mostly green crew, who made all of the mistakes one would expect of a mostly green crew, and accidentally shot a torpedo at President Roosevelt." Willie sobbed louder. "Embarrassing, but it hardly makes you a screw-up."
"That wasn't all of it though," Willie moans.
"Eh, who cares," Shimakaze shrugged. "That was then, this is now. Clean slate and stuff, you know."
"I... huh?" Willie blinked. "What... how can you say that?"
"Look," Shimakaze said, sitting down next to Willie. Her pose showed off a lot more than the American destroyer was comfortable with. More than usual, that was. "I understand where you're coming from. Our current state of being can be very confusing. My personal theory is that we're animate gestalts of multiple soul impressions gathered around a central consciousness influenced by both external views of us and our own perceptions of ourselves."
Willie's mind went blank, both from a certain existential dread at Shimakaze's offhand words, and the fact that she had no goddamned clue what the blonde destroyer was prattling on about.
"What," she finally offered.
>>43534367
what.
"Though I'm not sure about any of that," Shimakaze admitted, shrugging. "Nobody seems to want to talk about it, and whenever I ask to compare notes with the others' miniaturized crew remnants... or so my theory goes... they all run off for some reason. Weird."
Willie suddenly wanted to run away herself. A cold sweat running down her brow, her eyes flickered around, seeking some sort of escape, while also wondering how Shimakaze could be so damn calm while talking about these things that were so mind-breaking that Willie's soul wanted to scream just hearing them uttered out loud oh GOD-
"But it doesn't really matter, and I'm getting off-topic." Shimakaze waved her hand to brush the subject off. "In short: you were made, had an embarrassing start, started to do pretty well for yourself, got sunk-" Willie flinched sharply, "-and then you came back. And despite a few embarrassing incidents-"
"A few?" Willie muttered bitterly.
"-You did really good on your first action, and everyone knows it," Shimakaze went on, not hearing Willie. "So, like... the past is history, to hell with it, live in the present." Shimakaze ticked the points off on her fingers.
Willie blinked at her counterpart's words. "...You think I did good?"
"Yeah, good job," Shimakaze nodded. "I mean, I got sunk too, you know? But now I'm here, and there's a lot of cool stuff to do. So who cares?"
Willie wiped her remaining tears away, thinking. "I don't get you," she admitted at last. "I mean, sometimes I wonder if you're even here, and then you go and say stuff like that, you know?"
Shimakaze tilted her head. "Of course I'm here. I'm sitting right next to you, you can see me." Willie just groaned in response. The Japanese destroyer gazed at her for a moment. "As for getting me, well, here's what I think." She started ticking points off on her fingers. "Going fast is awesome. Torpedoes are great. Armor is for losers. There you go. I mean, what more do you need?"
William D. Porter winced. "I really don't think that armor is for losers, Shimakaze."
"It slows you down. Just don't get hit. That's what speed is for." The blonde destroyer nodded, pleased at her own wisdom. Willie just groaned again.
The two sat in silence for a bit, with Shimakaze staring silently at the American destroyer, who fidgeted at the attention. After a moment, Willie spoke up. "So... how did you come back?"
"Well..." Shimakaze stared off into the distance, thinking. "I remember sailing. Then I got sunk. Everything was dark and cold and kinda ticklish, then I could hear something in the distance. Next thing I know, I'm staggering onto the beach." She frowned. "The first thing I remember thinking was 'why do I have legs?' Things were kinda weird, you know what I mean?"
Willie nodded in response, rapt. She remembered the confusion of her own return all too well. Not to mention the embarrassment.
"Anyway, they found me pretty fast, and then I was sitting in Admiral Goto's office, learning about the internet, trying to figure out what had happened while he was giving me the short version all calm-like, you know?" Shimakaze shrugged. "I was lost and confused. I didn't know what I was, why I was... anything. For a moment, I was kind of scared." A sigh escaped her lips.
"Yeah," Willie breathed, moving closer. "Yeah, I know exactly what you mean."
"And then, came the fateful moment," Shimakaze turned to Willie, eyes glittering, "When I learned about rocket engines."
Willie blinked. "Rocket engines?"
"Rocket engines," Shimakaze agreed. She raised her hands to illustrate. "They go FAST."
"Fast," Willie echoed dully.
"REALLY fast," Shimakaze nodded feverishly. "And it was then that I knew my destiny. And everything became clear." She mused over it for a moment. "It's so simple. I really don't know why all of the other ships agonize over this stuff. I mean, who cares?"
"...And your destiny involves rocket engines?" Willie asked desperately, feeling like she was being tossed in a storm.
"It's a brave new world, full of new discoveries," Shimakaze said with barely-restrained excitement. "All kinds of new technology, all kinds of ways to go really, really fast. And I mean like, super fast! Zoom!" She gestured to emphasize. "How can I not be a part of it? After all, Japanese engineering is nothing if not innovative and cutting-edge. Just look at all the stuff our navy did!"
"Uh..." Willie stuttered, trying not to look Shimakaze in the eye.
"So yeah, good talk," the Japanese destroyer patted Willie on the knee. "Feel better?"
"...Rocket engines?" Willie asked again, very faintly.
"As soon as my requisitions get approved," Shimakaze nodded. "So like I was saying, feel better now?"
"H-huh? Um..." Willie was surprised to realize that she did. "I kinda do, yeah."
"I'm glad," Shimakaze said with a warm smile. "You're so much cuter when you smile."
"E-eh?!" Willie squeaked, covering her blushing face with both hands.
"Totally. Anyway, put on this outfit and we can start training." Cheerfully, Shimakaze offered her the costume. Willie just stared at it in all-consuming horror, face flushing even redder than before.
>>43534367
>"I understand where you're coming from. Our current state of being can be very confusing. My personal theory is that we're animate gestalts of multiple soul impressions gathered around a central consciousness influenced by both external views of us and our own perceptions of ourselves."
>>43534404
>>43534424
... I’m starting to wonder if a professional would diagnose Shimakaze as being on the autistic spectrum. Not the BS self-diagnoses or accusations hurled around on 4chan, but a legitimate, no-shit, mild-form(?) autism.
"R-r-r-right here?!" she squealed.
Shimakaze tilted her head. "Of course not. That would be unprofessional. And silly. Just change in a bathroom." She nudged the outfit closer.
Willie stared at it for a long moment, hesitating. Then she took a deep breath and screwed up her courage. "Shimakaze... thank you for being a friend. But I can't wear this clothing."
"Hm?" Shimakaze looked at Willie curiously. "Sure you can, it'd totally fit."
"I-I mean!" Willie took another deep breath, then looked her friend in the eye. "I-I'm sorry! But I honestly think that wearing this outfit is... k-kinda inappropriate!" Her hand slapped over her mouth as she realized that she had just insulted Shimakaze's choice in clothing.
Shimakaze just stared blankly at Willie. At the set of clothing. At Willie again. Her expression turned mournful. "You're right."
Willie started, her hands coming away from her mouth. "Eh?"
Shimakaze stood up and bowed deeply. "Willie, I apologize. I see now why you were so hesitant to wear this clothing. It's so obvious to me now. I am deeply sorry for not acknowledging your feelings on the matter. Please forgive me."
"O-oh no! Please don't apologize!" Willie stammered, scrambling to her feet. "I-I mean, you meant it as a gift, and I really appreciate that!"
Shimakaze straightened up, first clenched and face set with determination. "It's obvious that the bathing suit needs to have an American flag pattern!"
Willie's gut felt like it plummeted onto the pavement with all of the force of a depth-charge. "...what..." she whimpered, very weakly.
Shimakaze rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Naturally, a proud American destroyer would have a strong sense of patriotism. How fitting. I've heard of proud American women wearing their own flag in such a display of national pride. To think I was so foolish as to miss this! Very well, then." Nodding to herself, the Japanese destroyer looked at Willie. "Forget about the outfit for today, then. As soon as I can find an appropriate swimsuit, then we can change up your outfit. And I won't take no for an answer!" She added firmly. "This is a gift from me to you, and there is no need to be embarrassed about receiving it!"
Willie wondered just how wrong someone could possibly be about that last part. She felt like Shimakaze was breaking new ground here.
"Anyway, forget it for now. Let's go to practice. We must be professional about keeping up our skills after all." Taking Willie by the wrist, she began to lead them both to the practice range.
Willie just moaned with despair, and wondered how she would be able to maintain what tiny scraps of dignity she had left.
THAT'S IT for the latest installment of SHIMIKAZE'D, by our lovely new writefag SHIMIKAZE-DUDE-SAN-WHATEVER! I forgot to use his name instead of mine because it's 2AM, so let the record show that was his excellent fiction!
Standby for another few writeups from a returning writefag!
I can't even bring myself to read this, its so fucking bad.
>>43534485
Due to the sudden influx of new writefags, do you have a list of what writefags are aproved canon, which ones are defiantly non canon and which ones are in-between?
disregard sad or angry feelings.
Happy bote is here to melt them all away.

>>43534507
Crix, Navyfag, Shimakaze, Hate, Naka. I think that's the full list of saints.
>>43534487
>>43534507
Dude, I don't even have a list like that. So far as I know one doesn't exist.
>>43534507
For starters, the Portsmouth one and fluff's shit are non-canon
>>43534535
God help you when that day comes.
>>43534439
Is it time to FAST?
>>43534519
I want to hug Alabama
>>43534424
Dark souls the image.
>>43534544
Central's as well.
Pretty much all of the one's being written at SB are non-canon.
iirc the list goes:
Ghost,
Naka,
Navyfag
and a few others?
>>43534528
The Iowa and the Kaga stories aren't canon?
Willie a cute destroyer
>>43534561
She *is* adorable, isn't she?
>>43534507
It's sorted organically, so you can determine what's "canon" and not just by reading it. Basically, the quest itself is the yardstick by which canon is measured. Anything that contradicts the quest directly and unambiguously - that part of the writeup is non-canon. Any writeup closely integrated into the quest itself (Crix, Naka, Hate, Navyfag, etc,) is obviously canon, because the same events are being seen from multiple angles, and often the same characters too. Anything else that doesn't crossover and doesn't conflict would usually be up in the air, but my personal view is that if they don't conflict, you can freely consider them canon until such time as something in mainquest should clash with them.
tl;dr we run as close to Brown Tewi as possible.
>>43534572
Pretty damn sure they are.
>>43534570
Central is the guy who wrote Portsmouth
>>43534572
Knew I was forgetting something, those are on the list too
>>43534595
Except for Fluff's stuff. That's completely noncanon.
>>43534602
That's Aerogavin-tier.
when
>>43534544
Fluff is noncanon, Portsmouth is noncanon, The really weird peice with the nympho shipgirl in like, Malaysia or whatever isn't canon.
Naka, Hate, Crix, Zippo, Alabama, Navyfag are all canon. So is Deutschland I think, like, mostly sure there.
Any I'm forgetting?
>>43534595
So what about guys like Central? In his most recent writeup there was a crossover with navy fag. But he changed it so that the crossover part was removed.
>>43534487
>I can't bring myself to read this
Fluff stop shitposting.
>>43534468
so planefag is shimakaze making wille LEWD
>>43534602
>>43534642
No. By Shimakaze's logic, she's giving Willie a much-needed boost to her speed by reducing anything that may cause drag.
Unfortunately her logic runs on a different tier from ours.
>>43534634
You forgot Hornet.
>>43534608
Fluff's stuff contradicts canon by being manifestly retarded, yes.
>>43534647
If only
>>43534647
As if that isn't what ship combat is
>>43534634
>The really weird peice with the nympho shipgirl in like, Malaysia
Why did you have to remind me that that one even existed?
>>43534660
FUCK THAT GUY RIGHT IN THE DICK WITH A RUSTY CACTUS DILDO.
nah I'm kidding he's canon too, I'm pretty sure.
>>43534647
Kirov is so fucking jealous right now.
>>43534658
That's it exactly. Notions of lewd/etc are foreign to Shimakaze, only SPEED
>>43534673
i might write those slider lewds for you one day, bby
>>43534635
See >>43534597. And even with his fix-edits, Central’s stuff has been declared non-canon and will remain so unless and until PF says otherwise.
>>43534669
... huh? I must have missed something. Though by the sound of it, not a great deal....
>>43534642
>>43534658
For Shimakaze, the meaning of Life is to get as close as she can to the Sound Barrier. (And probably beyond that as well)
Everything else is secondary.
>>43534685
^ This, basically.
is Shimakaze the shipslut version of STIG
>>43534634
>Alabama and Zippo are canon
Is there an organized pastebin with all of the canon write-ups? I never read Alabama as it was a grammatical clusterfuck.
>no new art this week
welp
>>43534709
it was unfucked and there all on SB/SV so read them there
>captcha was popcorn i regret nothing
>>43534634
Am I under the Portsmouth umbrella, or is that just referring to the battle?
>>43534647
>>43534662
>>43534683
I count... 264 VLS cells. That's almost 3 times as many as a Burke has
>>43534704
Some say her turrets are alive, and that her... uniform gives her a major boost in speed. All we know is, she's the Stig's shipgirl cousin!
>>43534634
>nympho
Where can I find this?
>>43534709
Your best bet, like it or not, is really the SB thread- being a forum the way they are, they've got much better tools for this kinda thing, and the guy managing the thread is doing an outstanding job.
>>43534704
“Some say her swimsuit consists of a handkerchief and two postage stamps — placement optional. Some say she considers thinks the sound barrier is an Abyssal she has to destroy, rather than a law of nature. All we know is, she’s called Shimakaze.”
>>43534737

B-but I save the text files. Creating a new text file and copy-pasting the text is three extra steps.

>>43534740
He means me, you're fine.
>>43534692
That will be fun, though I doubt it since time is limited and you'll be focusing on Kaga.
Planefag, in all seriousness, is is possible for us to "lose"?
For example, is it possible to have a character die if we make the wrong decisions, even if we *really* don't want them to? Can we lose the affections of another character permanently?
>>43534767
GuP Quest has a lot of these. Sadly it's been out for awhile...

Considering I am scrapping those two write ups and restarting them both, just set me back to writeup in waiting.And I am writing that fap fic you wanted. It might be considered quasi cannon. It's about what COULD have happened if the anons picked the 3rd choice and told Kongo to go teary eye and confess to Goto. It didn't happen of course, but it COULD have happened.
>>43534812
The last thread had more raw emotion in it than any other planefag thread since SWQ, possibly ever. And I've been here since the beginning. Some really great questrunning today.
>>43534898

It's a joke. Anyway, SB is just a suggestion to make life easier in finding all the other writeups, since right now there's no master list.

"The Cabal was founded on the belief that anons could not be trusted with their own waifus. What we did not realize was that if you tried to take their waifus, they resist. SWQ taught us much. Anons needed to surrender their waifus willingly. After SWQ, KCQ was founded, and I jumped on the bandwagon. The Cabal grew, a beautiful parasite inside KCQ. For the past year, the Cabal has been secretly feeding trolls, reaping shitstorms. And when the votes did not cooperate, outcomes were samefagged."
"That’s impossible. Planefag would’ve stopped you."
"Accidents will happen. The Cabal created a quest so chaotic that anons are finally ready to sacrifice their waifus for their security. Once the purification process is complete, the Cabal’s New World Order will arise. We won, anon. Your irrelevance amounts to the same as your choices; no Arizona route!"

It's not what you think.
It's a bit with a shipgirl psychologist (as in, a shipgirl who works as a psychologist for other shipgirls) discussing the patients under her care. Apparently operating out of somewhere in Southeast Asia for some reason. Among the patients discussed is one with nymphomania.
It's not remotely lewd, just dumb.

Because Musashi's wreck was found within the Sibuyan Sea, which is part of Philippine waters.

I prefer to keep the material more-or-less in the order it was posted, so readers understand the context surrounding each thread and write-up. I can put together an index-by-author, if you like, but it'll probably delay transcription of the last five(!) threads for a while.
I don’t know if the forum software at either site even supports those other functionalities you mention. You want to build an entire website around archiving KCQ as a ‘better-organised’ alternative to my transcription? Be my guest. Otherwise, use your brain and the threadmarks like everybody else.

RCNFAG shit was mentioned in Navyfag stuff by the kreigers so he's in his own funky tier between canon writefags and standalone maybe-canon shit.

>>43534634
So wait, if Portsmouth is superdoubleplus noncanon, does that mean anything that refers to it is noncanon, or- I'm confused!
Then again, I deliberately write my stuff to have as little interaction or direction towards the main story's location as possible, so it doesn't matter if it's canon or not... It'd just be nice to be recognised...
>>43537466
I believe that’s purely referring to Central’s “The Battle of Portsmouth” and the follow-up “Of Monuments and Memories”. Your “HMS Warspite” is far more grounded and canon-compatible, AFAICT.
>>43537573
It feels like it needs a re-write... But that itself feels rude.
I mean, some elements clash with canon and common sense, but... Is it really that bad? I'm not totally sure.
I mean, HMS Warspite's return wasn't perfect. I practically wanted to crucify myself for how easily she was allowed in to see the First Sea Lord and how empty everything felt, only the main characters being recognised much if at all! Everyone else's write-ups seem so much more full of life and involvement... Mine feels more like actors on a stage.
Ah, reread a Wizard is You. Great stuff.
I just wish it'd been more Cirno daughteru focused and less Keine Waifu focused.
>>43535494Never.
Fap angel, Naka isn't going to try offing herself while we're unconscious, is she? If she fails, we should use the "are you a hero? I fired on my own countrymen" speech on her. Wallow in misery as a 'family'. She wants to talk about horrors? Maybe get Lt. Hate to elaborate on why he feels he doesn't deserve his rank. Everyone has skeletons in their closets.
>>43539116
I doubt it's going to be that easy or quick, one way or another. I wonder if Settle's even the one to crack her like that. Seems like Harder hasn't really had much screentime in that arc, and I'm sure some sort of confrontation is on the way.
Guys, two thoughts:
1: Did Shigure actually go abyssal, or was that just a momentary flash? Is she 'safe' now, or... We might think things are better now, but are they really? I doubt she's a danger to anyone else, but she might still be a danger to herself...
2: What're we going to do regarding that marine? My opinion's on giving him a damn medal, but classifying the details, if that's at all feasible. What the hell is all this going to do to shipgirl morale?
And speaking of medals, there's STILL that one fairy pilot who took risks during the Battle of Bonin to get his bomb on target. I want to have words with that little maverick, as he shows that not all of them are just extensions of their shipgirl's will... And he needs an NJP and a medal too for breaking formation and taking risks. FAIRIES DESERVE RECOGNITION, DAMMIT!
>>43539630
Goodness, I do want more focus on the fairies
the fairies are the b̶e̶s̶t̶ cutest part of kancolle
>>43539669
>>43539630
I say we name the ones that stand out.
Let's call that fairy, "Jim", or something.
>>43539721Iwojima?
>>43539721
Wasn't he Japanese? And most fairies are female, but then, so are shipgirls in canon... Until we get something more concrete, I'll take Jim; the world's first fairy bomber ace (pending)!
>>43539669
I was actually planning on maybe writing something with HMS Victory soon-ish... And I also had ideas involving fairies in the Royal Navy.
Why not combine the two? An extract, if you will, of something not yet written...
>>43539988
"Oh my, you don't want to see an old First-Rate like me in a combat outfit, believe me." Victory covered her mouth with her left hand to hide her chuckle, while she gently waved her right at the young policeman, as if shooing away his concerns. "That sort of thing is for much younger girls. I simply don't have the legs for it anymore!"
Inspector Raleigh exchanged confused looks with the two war reserve constables beside him. "Uhm... With respect, ma'am, I really don't think we can just permit you to wander around a secured area without some form of identification-" he began.
"Oh, of course, of course. I quite understand," Victory nodded, "Perfectly reasonable, dear. Let me see... Hmm... Ah, I know!" She cleared her throat and closed her eyes serenely. "Admiral? If you'd please be so kind?"
The eyes of the three humans grew suddenly wide, as the epaulette on the dignified old woman's right shoulder suddenly bumped upwards, a soft sheen of golden lamplight shining form under it. It continued to rise, pushed from inside by a tiny hand, as a smartly-uniformed, humanoid figure, no more than two inches tall but growing to twice that before the very eyes of its onlookers, emerged, as if climbing stares. Raleigh swore blind that he could faintly hear the sound of a fiddle playing 'Rule Britania', until the figure nodded and the epaulette flopped back down. The tiny sailor, wearing a dark blue frock coat with a single empty sleeve pinned across its chest, placed a bicorn on its almost comically oversized head and nodded respectfully to the watchers, all of whom were stunned beyond the capacity for speech.
"Gentlemen," said Victory, "It is my honour to introduce His Grace, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, recently returned to the Royal Navy as part of my crew."
>>43540005
Britfag, i think your on to something there.
>>43540005
>>43540139
Who next? Francis Drake?
He did say to beat his drum if there was any trouble.
>>43534452
>Shimakaze straightened up, first clenched and face set with determination. "It's obvious that the bathing suit needs to have an American flag pattern!"
I love it.
>>43540165
Sadly, I think that calling up the Golden Hind is mildly beyond the pale. Even with the leveling effect, she's a GALLEON and woefully out-dated even by Victory's standards! She wasn't even the mightiest ship of her day, like the Victory was; the Hind was remarkable because of her captain alone. I don't think fairies can come back without a ship; they just don't have the power, regardless of how great a hero they are.
That said, I may yet do something. There's a myth in England that Drake fired a cannonball across the wide world to prevent his sweetheart from wedding another while he was at sea. In reality, it was a meteorite, but imagine the scene: In desperation, Her Majesty orders the beat to quarters played on Drake's drum. No ship appears, but out of the cloudy and storm-darkened sky, with a crash of thunder amid smoke and flame, a mighty blast tears the air and something hurtles down, penetrating deck and hull of an Abyssal battleship and flooding her engine room with dark seawater. After the battle, dive teams investigate the projected landing site of the unknown object... And find a single cannon-ball sitting in a crater formed by the force of its impact.
Oh god, now I'm imagining Admiral Yi's fairy aboard a turtle ship. PITY the foolish abyssal who thinks to try Korea's shores! I don't care if it's a turtle ship; you're just FUCKED.
>>43540139
In a stand-up fight, the leveling effect would put the Victory on a roughly even footing firepower and durability-wise with an Abyssal frigate or ironclad. Maybe a destroyer or a light cruiser at the absolute most, with the benefit of a good wind, advantage of surprise, inspired tactics, favorable seas and enough luck to fuel Ireland for a year (and mainly because no-one does boarding actions like Napoleonic ships).
She doesn't intend to fight anyone at all, but still wants to be of use, so she made sure to bring England's greatest naval genius with her.
>>43534430
This is very good. Abyssal investigation like this, that is.
>>43534430
>>43540370
Wait, so which abyssal is she based off of, or does she exactly match any of them?
>>43540486
She's got her own artwork.
>>43540519
>She's got her own artwork.
Nice desu ne.

>>43546086
Thread's over, anon.
Go home and tell your wife you love her.
>>43546462
Got damn anon, we should just leave some of the ship girls alone. One of them just tried to eat a pineapple dammit, now is not the time to bug some of them.
>>43546462
But didn't you know, anon? All of us here are married tothe sea
Well that and our shipfus. This IS home for us. Planefag's threads are one of the highlights of my week. Yeah, i live a pretty dull life.
>>43546805
>One of them just tried to eat a pineapple dammit
What's wrong with pineapple?
Kept you waiting, huh?
>>43546462
That would imply that most of us could get a wife.
>>43546805
Isn't the the opposite reaction?
You're pretty good.
What are you waiting for?

>>43550190
Speaking of , how are we supposed to capture an abyssal? Forcing them aground? Boarding actions?Neutron bombs?
>>43550598
>Forcing them aground?
That is literally the plan that was floated at the last meeting, yes.Respond with excess force the next time they do a coastal raid, force them onto the shore
>>43550747
I must have missed that. Problem is, what if they can still fight on land? Our shipgirls can.
>>43550969
Well then our shipgirls who, as you just said can still fight on land, will subdue them.
The point of running them aground is just to keep them from sinking themselves
>>43550747
Expected casualty rate for non-shipgirl personnel just to capture a single Abyssal?
>>43551734
>>43550999
I can see so many ways for that to go wrong. How are we supposed to keep them from destroying the nearest city? What if they refuse to surrender until they're literally blown apart? How useful is a half wrecked Abyssal going to be to us?
Some method of knocking them unconscious, or whatever the shipgirl equivalent is, would be more useful.
>>43551465
Very, very high.
>>43551465
100%. No armor belt, if it was to kill them and we gave them Hate's new toy, then id buy it. But the mission is capture.
>>43551802
>What if they refuse to surrender until they're literally blown apart?
Well, then, that's one more dead Abyssal. Which also answers your first question.
>How useful is a half wrecked Abyssal going to be to us?
Extremely? Too fucking much about them is unknown, both in terms of physiology and doctrine/motives. We know they can talk, now.
>>43551465
Extremely high, which is why we're doing it with shipgirls and learning from the failure in Shigure's containment
>>43551770
>>43551802
>How are we supposed to keep them from destroying the nearest city?
If Japanese cinema has taught me anything, its that city-devistating monsters attack every other week. The locals will probably just look at their calenders and shrug.
>>43551802
We shouldn't bring them to bay near a city, an isolated island would be better.
>>43551950
>>43551770
I'll agree with this. If this thread is still up tomorrow, I'm calling the pope and having a miracle declared. Twice, if Planefag pokes his nose in.
Huh. Thread's still up.
>>43551950
Exactly how many men need to die for this? Chemical or radiological weapons would be safer and more effective.
>>43552156
>which is why we're doing it with shipgirls and learning from the failure in Shigure's containment
We aren't sending a skyranger full of rookies with stun rods, christ
>>43539721
No let's call the fairya gnome.
>>43552156
>Exactly how many men need to die for this?
ALL OF THEM
>>43552156
Operation Crossroads begs to differ.
>>43552189
Are we? What do our shipgirls know about capturing one of their own?
>>43552265
The ships at crossroads were exposed to fatal levels of radiation. In a real life combat situation their crews would have died of radiation poisoning in a few hours, leaving them drifting abandoned.
>>43552347
The corgis, actually, have demonstrated that they're rather good at apprehending shipboys attempting to flee a harbor. Their european counterparts have also shown off that you very much can restrain them to a degree. Not to mention how that one abyssal was going for hayashimo's throat before getting asroc'd, or sammy's ramming attempt.
It functions in a weird-as-fuck manner but close combat is a definitely something kanmusu can do with abyssals
>>43551950
I'll attempt to cover that eventually. To put it shortly, any interview or experiment for Deutschland will need to be done willingly as opposed to unwillingly. We've seen what Shigure can do when she's cornered.
>>43552347
And as for de-crewing via radiation... that's a question for the analysts. The torpedo boats at LA had hand-cranked guns on deck that fired, but no mention of crew. Every instance of a conventional ship engaging an abyssal has included mention of killing crew in exposed positions, but with no way to confirm whether or not such a thing was actually happening.
If battle footage has shown that damage to exposed guns has halted them as though they required crew, great. If we could find a shipgirl open enough to answer the question of fae casualties, that would also work except they have barely a clue either.
>>43552554
No offense but I'm ignoring your fanfic corner, for the crime of jumping the gun on mysteries like this
>>43552640
Please, by all means, do so. I and probably many others are pulling words out of our asses. Anyone who 'knows' what they're talking about in a fanfiction setting of a game that has barely any lore should be mocked.
>>43552675
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Planefag's wild ride and the branches cultivated by him are the true path, not speculah
>>43552686
>>43551465
Stupidly high, the usual. I'm more concerned about any potential fuck ups if we do manage to capture one. Last thing we need is for security measures to go lax.
>>43552723
You deserve everything bad that happens in this quest, then.
Oh hey this is still alive one day later.
>>43552723
I don't have an appropriate response for you.
>>43552753
Thanks.

>>43552475
It's a large unknown. We can't now what will happen, and the potential consequences of a screw up could be monumental.
An insurance policy is a necessary precaution.
>>43552753
>>43552761
Look, let's think of it like a grand old game of UFO Defense. Going into it blind, you basically know shit beyond 'here be xenos'. And as you fight and win, you learn more and more. There's an underlaying logic and structure to things, even if you aren't able to see it until you peel things back. That exists because the people who wrote it were all on the same page. Your friend's story about the sectoids being humans from the future is neat and all, but it's just that- it's not the actual mystery. I'm having faith in planefag that he's actually been planning shit for a change.
Trust in planefag.
>>43552837
Oh yeah, I have no doubt that whatever air power we can muster will be on backup
>>43552901
>>43552901
Oh, child. I came here straight from the Cabal to laugh at you. Do you really think planefag plans anything a day in advance?
>>43552901
Keep livin' that dream, brah.
>>43552955
When he's straight-up said that for KCQ he learned to plan and outline things in advance, yes.
>>43552998
Bruh, have I got a surprise for you...
>>43552998
Dude that means he talks about a few things an hour before the quest starts. He has no backstory, he's making that up as he goes along.
>>43552998
You're actually serious. Holy fuck. Why do you think it takes so long for him to updates?
>>43553029
>Snippets of LA showing up in dreams
>Hamp's art being in reserve for months
The shenanigans, sure, he's always rolled with that. But tech I trust him to be autistic about
>>43553076
Tech yeah, sure.
Nearly everything else is made up on the spot.
>>43553076
>Hamp's art in reserve for months
Yeah, see, here's the thing: Pixelfag drew him up when planefag asked, promised he'd be brought in a thread. Then the next thread. Then the next one. And finally, four months later and miraculously a couple days in-story, it happened. How's that for planning, anon?
>>43553076
Bruh, he didn't even know about Abyssal tracking until it was brought up in a writeup.
>>43553198
Bro I'm pretty sure planefag and navyfag are joined at the dick when it comes to those writeups. Same with naka, it's like the most homoerotic cerberus ever
>>43553240
It's literally just some writefags passing shit through him, and then when he sees something interesting, he goes "I'M USING THIS."
