“Show me,” you say, your voice firming. You've stared into the Abyss before, and you remember what you saw there. There are no complexities or questions there - it is the antithesis of everything that keeps you drawing breath, an opposite as diametric as night from day, or... good, from evil. It's awful, but it's not complex - not one damned bit.

“You *can't,” Naka says, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she shakes you gently. “You can't just double down like this!”

“Show me,” you repeat. Your wounded leg screams in agony, sending hot tears of pain down your cheeks, but you lever yourself up the wall anyway, a few inches at a time, fighting out of a crouch.

“I've seen it before,” Naka pleads. “You trusted me then, Settle. You can't do this. If you don't bend then sooner or later-”

“Then I'll break.” You hold her gaze firmly, catching your breath again. “SHOW ME.”

She seems to slump even more - but she aquieses, leading you into a nearby janitor's closet, a large walk-in one. Jamming a mop handle under the door, she steps to the back, ringed by jugs of carpet cleaner and window solution, and reaches a hand up to her face.

When it comes away, you find yourself staring into one eerie blue eye.

She watches you watching her, almost entranced by the eye, your heart beginning to race in reflexive, almost instinctual panic. Then - slowly - she unbuttons her shirt and opens it to show you her belly. The gauze wrapped around her middle is unwound one pass after another, and soon you can see the awful blue glow pressing through the last few layers of bandage. As she strips it off, you see the fine black spiderweb lines reaching from the edge of the wound, like stress fractures from an impact or explosion. The wound is already dripping saltwater, a little puddle forming atop Naka's wet shoes.

She wets her finger on the gash and swipes it down her cheek, thick makeup parting to reveal pale, almost alabaster skin beneath. Her lipstick goes next, revealing bloodless lips, cold and almost blue.

She takes a step closer to you, and another, and you steel yourself, pulling into parade rest, hands firmly behind your back, clamping down on the urge to shuffle back, to defend, to *run* from - from whatever is going on with Naka. She reaches out and touches your chest, pressing gently.

“Can you feel it?” she asks quietly. Her fingers are heavy, the flesh barely yielding, as if it was steel-coated rubber. It feels like the touch of a Terminator. She brushes her other hand through her hair gently, your nerves jangling to hear the high-pitched grating of steel hausers over the decking. “Hair isn't really... hair, anymore. Grows down to my ass every night.” She turns her hand slowly, studying her nails, almost fascinated. “My nails are getting too long... and too hard.” She coughs up a desiccated chuckle. “At least those problems solved themselves - I cut the hair with the nails.”

“What else?” you ask softly.

“I hypnotized some girls yesterday,” she says softly. “By singing, by... by accident. At least I've got an excuse to cancel that fucking concert, now.” She tries to smile, but it slides right off her face.

“What. Else?” you grind out, your gorge rising again, eyes burning.

“I'm losing feeling in my... everything. Like it really is steel, and...” she draws in a difficult breath. “I... I dreamed. Last night. I dreamed I drowned... deep. Down there. Down in... me.”

“Your hull.”

She nods. “I was dead. I was entombed, in...” she shakes her head. “No. No. I was just me again. Just IJN Naka. Just scrap on the seafloor.” She's shaking now, twining her fingers together to try and quell the telltales. “I heard someone down there, calling for help. Tried to talk, tried to reply, tried- couldn't-” she sighs, expelling the bitter heat of her frustration. “If that hadn't happened... I think... I think I might never have woke up.”

Once again, every syllable lands like leaden weights on your shoulder - your darkest fears; the unyielding darkness that might be in Naka's dreams, confirmed.

This time, you don't lean against the wall, or slide down it, or cry.

This time, you stand.

“I don't know how much of me is left, Settle.”

She doesn't react when you reach for her, perhaps not even seeing your motion, so dead and distant are her mismatched eyes. She looks up at you, her good eye staring in confusion as you pat her head, feeling the coarse, stiff strands of 'hair' jangle and scritch under your hand.

“Naka,” you say softly. “How are you this smart and this stupid at the same time?”

She stares at you.

“Not an hour ago I repeated something to the commander of 7th fleet, something *you* taught me. You're just spirits, now. Steel, flesh, whatever. Akagi gave us all a shock, but we should've known before that, just watching abyssals change form to better match whatever they're fighting at the time. You're just *spirits.*”

She keeps staring at you, nonplussed, as you drop your hand to her shoulder and squeeze it - as little as you're able to, her flesh hard and unyielding. “You're still fighting - for everyone around you. For me, just now. That is your spirit.”

“Not the fight that matters, Settle. Not the fight I *should* be fighting.”

“A little earlier I got word of an abyssal force moving towards the Sunda Strait,” you tell her. “Goto and I agreed to put together a scratch force of CLs to engage them there, to buy time to bring up bigger fleet assets if we can.”

She looks apprehensive. “Are-”

“Yes. It was Jintsuu's suggestion, in fact.”

“Settle...”

You wait.

“Let me go with them.” She gently takes your hand and removes it from her shoulder, drawing herself up to her full height - which isn't much, half-abyssal or no. “They're my sisters. They've... they've been helping me. And this might be my last chance to-” she halts.

“.... to. What,” you prod after a moment.

“... to fight by their side,” Naka finishes lamely. You give her a look that lets her know she's playing a medley in B-flat to your sustained C-sharp. “I'm not letting you do anything.”

“Settle-”

“I called Wayne earlier to ask if you were fit for service, or if you could be patched up quickly for it.”

Naka fixes you with a wide-eyed, almost pleading stare. “Are you lying to me, Admiral? Are you telling me what I want to hear while planning to pull the rug out from me at the last second?”

“You know how to read people. You tell me.”

She shakes her head slightly. “I know, but...”

“What?”

“I just showed you.”

“So?”

“I'm... I'm going abyssal, Settle. And I don't know if I can control it. And you're going to send me-”

You grab *both* her shoulders this time, taking a deep breath to steel yourself for what needs be said. Naka makes no complaint, seeing you need the support, the steady link between you. “Naka,” you begin, tongue thick. You close your eyes to keep the burn back a few moments more. “I'd give anything to go into battle with you. To see this through myself. But I can't. I lost my ship, and I'm crippled, and... I can't.” A flash of heat blazes through you, so intense you almost snarl - and then it's gone, subsiding like a passing swell. “I just fucking can't. I've got to trust others to fight, now.”

You release her shoulders, turning for the door. Your leg is screaming in pain again, but it seems numb - almost distant. “Get to Wayne. Get patched up as best you can. Time is very, very short - and people are counting on us to deliver.”

“Yes, sir,” Naka says faintly to your back. You let yourself out of the closet and close the door gently behind you.

And, because we think we need a breath of fresh air after that...

-----

Scriiiitch, scriiitch, scriiiitch.

Sendai is the first to wake up--you crept past her, sitting upright in Seiza, the only sign she was asleep the slow, deep breaths and the slightest droop of her shoulders--and her eyes quickly focus on you.

"What are you doing?" she whispers, Jintsuu still asleep in a tangle of blankets and pillows.

You chuckle darkly. "I'm cutting my hair. Come here."

You see her eyes as bright little pinpoints--then floodlamps, as she comes close enough to see.

"Yeah. You wanted to keep an eye on me? Here's where we start."

Gloves removed, one hand pulling your hair taut, you slowly and carefully crop the length down.

"Naka..." she murmurs, pitch a hair high, distraught.

"Shh," you remind her. "Broke my best scissors trying to manage this mess. Gotta do it by hand."

You can practically see the questions rolling off her, before they disappear under a little bit of that hardened resolve she loves so much. "Can I help?"

"...Sure," you decide at length. "Keep your gloves on. It's sharp."

"Sharp?" she breathes, carefully taking the length of darkened hair.

"Like metal. Keep it taut and steady, don't pull--that's it, thanks." With Sendai holding the waist-length bundle, you carefully run a black claw down, carefully and nearly severing it a few threads at a time.

"What do you... do with it?"

"We threw out a few bags of it with the machining scraps," you mutter.

Sendai sits there in silence, slowly adjusting or moving her grip as needed as you slowly trim your hair in the dim hours before the sun. "...How long?" she finally asks.

"A few days, now," you murmur quietly. "Only seems to happen when I sleep."

"Why--"

You don't need to hear to feel the question, the distressed outrage, trying to keep it quiet. "How do you explain this, Sendai? How would you explain this?"

Sendai winces. "...I think I would seek a swift end in battle," she admits.

"Yeah. But that's not an option."

"Sister... I don't know how to ask, but--"

"I know." You sigh. "I know. No, I'm not one of them. Maybe--maybe that won't keep up. If I--you know--can you...?" Your turn to choke and stumble.

Slowly, gravely, Sendai nods. You knew she would understand.

"This is only the tip of the iceberg. I... really don't want to, but I was going to show you two this morning."

"That--that means a lot to us, sister," Sendai manages.

"Yeah." The two of you fall to silence as you finish cutting the rest of the ... cables, wires, hair, whatever. "...You know I love you two, right?" you finally ask. "Every bone in my body is screaming at me to hide this away and keep it a secret, but you told me to, and--and this is hard for me."

"We know," she replies softly.

With the metal strands shorn close and neat, you take a moment to tuck your hair back up into buns, before looking over the gleam of the black chitin talons in the dark. Behind them, for just a moment, you swear you see the bright of Jintsuu's eyes before they wink out.

"You get a lot of mail," Jintsuu observes.

"Yep," you reply, catching the ninja-thrown envelopes and setting them down neatly beside you. "Hold on."

"You really read them all?"

"I try to, yeah. Helps that I haven't done an album in a while, things have calmed down a bit. Hold on--"

This one's padded a bit, feels a little thicker and heavier. Photograph?

You open it carefully (still using a letter opener, because fuck you, abyss) and slide the envelope open.

"Dear Naka,

How have you been? I apologize if the greeting is overly formal--I've never written to a ship before."

You crack a smile at that--you get that a lot.

"As of last month, I finally joined the JSDF and was sent to train alongside marines from the United States as part of a joint cooperation effort. We've been learning how to use fighting vehicles and building good relations. It can sometimes be trying, but we have all come to like and respect each other very much."

Snrk. 'Sometimes be trying.' You bet someone's eaten someone else's boot at least once.

"In any case, I am writing because I wanted to thank you very sincerely for everything you do. My grandparents live on Hachijō-jima; my whole family has come from there. I cannot say for sure whether you saved their lives, but in my heart I feel you must have. Whether they were on that beach or not, thank you again, on behalf of everyone on that island."

You find yourself misting up a bit--you vaguely sense the rustle of paper fade as Jintsuu stops sorting, and lets you read, your nose drawing closer to the paper.

"After I saw your video on Nico, I knew I had to act. We are an island; we have all our shores to look to. That was what I told myself, and then, my father, when I decided to enlist. There was much to do, of course, but now here I am, training with the Americans.

After seeing your video, I looked up your music. I bought my sister all your albums (and listened to them all myself--I was curious), and just recently I saw you again, up on a radio tower in Yokosuka with more of your comrades, defending Japan once more. I was inspired.

When I told my unitmates--American and Japanese--about you, I convinced them to help me with a project. I hope you like it.

All the rumors say that there will be ground action--why this joint venture, if we weren't expecting to see combat? I don't know--there are always rumors, but I try not to pay them any mind. Right now, my duty is to learn and excel. I promise--for you, for my family, for Japan--I will excel.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
--A JGSDF private"

Blinking back the tears from the corners of your eyes, you slide the letter back to examine the glossy photo.

It's... some kind of American fighting vehicle, you don't know the name. It looks armored, with an angular frame and a single top-mount turret with a short-barreled, boxy-magazined weapon side-by-side with what looks like a machine gun.

And painted on the side, bright and cheery on a wreath of laurels, is you.

Bright and cheery, eyes fixed forward, microphone at the ready and your free hand cast behind you, you lean forward into the wind, a whirl of orange and black matching a sunny grin. "Our Lady of Victory," cursive lettering announces.

"Naka?" Jintsuu puts her hand on your shoulder. "What is it?"

You try to muster a sarcastic remark about only being able to see combat painted on the side of an upgunned jeep, but... you can't. You feel that painted grin on your own face as you blink away happy tears.

This glorious fucking kid, whoever he is, just made your fucking day.

Project E Sidestory: Ellytime

Naka lay back feeling the bobbing waves carry her through the night as she lay on her back. No noise but that of the ocean itself. She was having one of those things people called lucid dreams. She had heard about them but this was a first. It was actually quite nice, to be able to relax in the peace of her unconsciousness for at least a little while. Naka rubbed her eyes. She could still feel the stress in her body from her first concert. And she was scheduled for another three this week! She let her arms fall slack and rest on the surface of the ocean.

"Alright Naka just relax, everything is calm and peaceful."

She slowly inhaled and exhaled.

"Calm and peaceful."

Another breath.

"Calm and pea-dear god I'm bored." She sat up and looked around. There was nothing but the gentle black waves and a pure night sky.

"Can I wake up now?"

Her only reply was the gentle slap of a wave against her hull. She sighed. To pass the time she began singing a song she had heard recently.

"PON PON dashite shimaeba ii no zenzen shinai no tsumaranai desho HEADPHONE kakete RIZUMU ni nosete WEI WEI akete atashi no michi wo."

No sooner had Naka started on the next verse when she heard another voice accompanying her.

"PON PON susumu iroiro na koto."
"PON PON susumu iroiro na koto."

However this second voice wasn't matching Naka's pitch and was slightly behind hers.

"dondon kiiteru anata no kimochi."
"dondon kiiteru anata no kimochi."

She could feel a vein throb in anger. If this pitch was right this could at least be a row.

"poipoi suteru warui ko wa dare."
"poipoi suteru wahmm hm hm hmhm."

"IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE LYRICS THEN DON'T SING ALONG!" Naka finally snapped.

"Sorry!" came a distant reply.

Naka shone one of her spotlights in the direction the voice came from, only to be blinded as a spotlight from the direction she was illuminating lanced her eyes with it's own rays.

"Owowow shut it off!"

"You shut yours off first!"

"How about we both shut ours off okay?!"

"Right!"

The dream was plunged back into darkness.

"I 'm coming towards you." Called out the voice.

"A-alright." Naka replied.

Naka could hear the sound of a ship approaching her at low speed, she couldn't see it as she was still rubbing her eyes but the other ship was getting closer and closer. Closer. Closer. Close-

"Ow." The skulls of both ships impacted with an audible clang of metal. Naka switched on her spotlights again, directing them down at an angle. The ambient light was enough to partially illuminate the stranger in front of her.

"Hello." The stranger waved.

"H-hi." Naka waved back. "Do I know you?"

"Nope!"

There was a pause as Naka tried to process what was going on while the other ship just sat in front of her smiling.

Naka raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to tell me?"

"Oh! Right." The other ship jabbed a thumb into her chest. "I'm Elly! Destroyer escort number one seven three. USS Eldridge. Nice to meet you." She offered her hand and then quickly retracted it. "Oh right." Elly shifted her sitting position so that she was sitting on her knees. "This is how the Japanese do it." She hesitantly bowed forward slightly. Naka began to return the bow when Elly's head shot forward for a much deeper bow. Another clang of metal and both ship girls were rubbing their foreheads.

"Why are you here?" Naka asked.

Elly looked up at the stars. "That's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why ARE we here?"

"No I mean why are you HERE? In my dream?"

"Oh." Elly paused for a moment "I'm taking a shortcut."

"Ah...Wait to where?"

>>44979834

She seems nice but is actually mean when she's riled.

Iowa seems tough but she's actually a softie.

>>44979836

Naka stared at Elly with the expression would would give a talking hamburger. "I'm just glad this is all a dream."

Elly giggle snorted.

"What's so funny?" Naka puffed her cheeks out in a cutesy offended manner, like she had seem other idols do.

" Oh nothing. Hey! I loved that song you were singing earlier!" Elly jumped to her feet.

"Y-you did?" Naka stammered at the sudden change in topic.

"Yeah! You sound just like Naka the ship idol! I love here stuff I've got her entire discography on here. Elly reached into her pocket, brandishing her smartphone like a sword. "One moment let me pull something really good up."

"Ummm. Actually I-"

"Shush!" Elly put a finger over Naka's mouth. "One second. Hold that thought." She began scrolling through her music. "Where is it? Where is it?"

"But I-" Naka started again
"Hush!"
"Bu-"
"Zip it!"
"I-"
"Ziiiip"
"Um."
"CAN!"
"Yo-"
"IT!"
"Ho-"
"SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!" There was a long pause as Elly kept tapping on her phone, the silence only broken by the sound of the waves.

"AHA! Here! Listen to this." She proclaimed placing the device next to Naka's ear. A piece of music started playing. It was definitly Naka's voice, but she didn't recognize the song, or having ever sung it.

First thing to catch my eye, Frosty: 'Midshipman'? That's the rank of an officer-cadet, and IIRC mess stewards are *always* ratings (enlisted men). I'd expect to see a Petty Officer in the job, at most. Even in an officer's club devoted to ship-people.

"I love this one, it was just after Naka came off of a haitus from an injury and this was the first song she wrote! Completely unlike her previous stuff which while really good was a lot of vapid pop. I mean I went to see her before and it was really great and all but nothing beats her later blah blah blahblahblahblah blah blahblah." Naka's head began spinning at all of the outrageous statements that this girl was just glassing over, she could feel her mind overheating and her buns baking just trying to process what was being said. "And it really speaks not only to the lonely hearted, but to ships as... are you listening?" Elly asked.

"Yeah, just give me a moment. I'm trying to process all these things you're saying about me."

"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about Naka." Elly laughed. Naka just stared back in silence waiting. All of a sudden she was blinded again as all of Elly's spotlight burst to life.

"NO WAY! YOU'RE NAKA?! OHMIGAHD OHMIGAHD OHMIGAHD I'M SUCH A FAN!" she screamed.

"Yeah I can tell." Naka said as she shielded her eyes. "But what did you mean by my later stuff? I only just had my first concert."

"You wha?" Elly looked up and down at Naka. "Oops."

"What oops? What do you mean oops?"

"Yeahhhh I said some things I shouldn't have." Elly scratched the back of her head sheepishly "I'm not supposed to talk about stuff that hasn't happened yet."

"What?"

"I should probably explain but it looks like I'm out of time." Elly sighed. "On the bright side this is all a dream so you probably won't remember."

"Wait what do you mean out of time?" Naka practically shouted.

"Look around you." Elly said quietly. All around the sea had calmed to a completely flat plain, like a thin surface of water on a mirror. "I really enjoyed talking with you but it seems like the locals found me." As Naka peered into the distance she could see what looked to be thousands of lights approaching. Glowing red orbs, flickering blue lanterns, scratching claws, and hellish voices were getting closer.

"Sorry I have to go so suddenly but you'll be alright." Elly stood up and with a snap the rest of her ship gear manifested.

"Well this is all a dream right? I just have to wake up?" Panic was beginning to creep at the edges of Naka's voice.

"Well yeah, but I didn't mean that. Anyhow see ya!" And with that Elly spread her arms out and fell back, passing through the surface of the water till she was standing upside down on the opposite side.

"Wait! Naka reached through the water, but she slipped right through and began tumbling down into the void below. She screamed as she felt the inevitable impact coming. A loud metallic thunk jolted her awake. She had slipped from her top bunk and landed in the trashcan, still tangled in her sheets.

"What the he-OW!" Naka stopped picking Sendai's tootsie roll wrappers out of her hair. She felt up to her forehead, and pressed gently. She could feel a sizable bruise dead center in her forehead.

"What."

HIVE FLEET

Maya-Sama the Awesome and Sword-Chan learn OTHER things!

- - - - -

Maya hunched over her corner of the card table, gently swirling her dice around in her hand. It was, as her new favorite person to observe from a respectful distance, Lt. Hate, might say "a hail fucking Mary" moment. She still wasn't quite certain who this Mary person was, or why one would wish to praise her in an hour of need. But that's America for you.

"C'mon, Maya-Onee-sama!" Choukai was vibrating on the edge of her seat, wringing her hands mere inches from her nose. The cruiser had the worst luck when it came to save rolls. Maya was starting to suspect her sister's d20s had nothing but ones on them.

Then again, after that little incident off Samar, maybe it wasn't so far fetched.

Maya just smiled. Swooping in to save the day is where Maya-Sama the awesome *lived.* "I fire a full broadside," she raised her hand with a dramatic flourish, "At the ogre!"

Atago let out a teasing giggle, her face retreating behind her gamemaster's screen for a brief moment before smiling at her younger sister. "Roll for it."

Maya smirked, tossing her dice in the air and letting them come hurtling down onto the table with the graceful arc of a 20cm high-explosive shell. "Thirteen! Ten! Fourteen! Thirteen! And... uh... one." she said, listing off the rolls for each of her--or rather, her tiny plastic *Takao*-class cruiser mini's--twin turrets.

Atago smiled, "PanPakaPentrated!"

"Yes!" Maya exchanged high-fives with Choukai and Tenryuu while Atago dug out the relevant schematics. As much fun as role-playing games were, the versions the human sailors played were so dreadfully boring at times. You just rolled a number and killed your target (or didn't.) There wasn't any... drama to it. And so the shipgirls had come up with their own version. A more accurate version.

"So," Atago flattened the diagrams out on the table, her faeries helpfully moving half-finished bags of chips and nearly-forgotten beverages out of the way to clear room. "You hit him here," she marked a red circle over the ogre's boiler room, "Here, here, here, here, and here."

Maya smiled, rifling around in her gaming folder for her shell-damage charts. Now came the fun part, rolling for each of her shells to figure out just how thoroughly she'd wrecked the foul creature who dared cross her path. The path to the castle holding none other than the imprisoned Admiral! "The Admiral will be mine!"

"You willing to risk Kongou's wrath?" said Choukai.

"What?" Maya jerked her head to the side, her brows knitting together as her brain reboooted. "Oh. Not him, Yakneetoku. The one with the sword."

"Settle?" scoffed Tenryuu as she wiped her sword against the sleeve of her cardigan.

Maya rolled her eyes, "You saw that video. With the sword."

"It doesn't matter anyways," said Choukai, "He's already got a lover."

"Eh?" Maya jerked her head around. "who?"

Choukai and Atago spoke in almost perfect harmony. "Arizona!" "Shoukaku!"

The two cruisers pivoted to look at each other, their boilers purring up to full steam as their faces flushed red. Maya decided now was the perfect time to refill her cup. Apparently, so did Tenryuu.

"Hey, Maya," asked the chunni cruiser, "Got a question for ya."

"Shoot," said Maya, cracking open a can with her teeth.

"Think you can watch the kid- I mean... um... DesDiv six for a while?"

Maya blinked. "Yeah, sure I-" She stopped. She blinked again. "Why do you have a grenade?"

"Reasons," was all the explanation Tenryuu was willing to offer.

It could be that Naka and her sisters only play a small part in the battle, or it could be the abyssals react to Naka's presence and make a bee line for her.

Think about it though.
It's like Naka is a P4 protag.
I know it's not really how deme goes, but thinking of Naka gaining a persona by accepting her Light Cruiser Oni side is pretty interesting.

>>44981140
I would be so hyped to see something like that.

>>44981282
Imagine if Naka became some sort of "balance" between shipgirls and abyssals. Neither shipgirl, nor abyssal, but the transcendence of both.

Well, now we know that the actual physiological changes actually can happen, in one direction at least. It's possible for a shipgirl to lose the human life from their human form- no blood, no skin color, shining eyes, steel flesh and hair and nails.
But, we also seem to know now that those physiological changes don't necessarily come with mental changes. Naka hasn't attacked anybody. She's still herself, she still wants to help, still wants to fight.
Shit's weird. Could an abyssal do the opposite? Get some color in their cheeks, get some softness in their flesh, get a nice full body of blood, all while staying a killing machine monster?
shit's weird.

I'm trying to think of a better word to describe something that a middle schooler fan fiction writer might come up with, but I'm drawing a blank.

Hacknied? Insipid? Those feel a bit too 'general purpose' to really drive at and highlight the phenomena.

Are you talking about the idea of Naka accepting her abyssal half or just chuuni in general?

Because if the former, I don't really know what other road Nakatime is gonna lead down and still be a good end. We're well past the point of no return. As for what accepting her abyssal form would mean, I think some sort of spiritual transformation would be better than something that's really chuuni like being about to summon Light Cruiser Oni as if it were a literal Persona.

>>44981517
Wait, does turning abyssal mean Naka turns into a Sheodred?
Because I am so not for this shit now.

It might be as simple as killing the external Naka and then things go back to normal. Or killing th external Naka and then just living with having the physiology of an Abyssal. Or pull a tron legacy-style resolution.

Like, Naka's transformation is spooky as hell, but so far as we've seen she's still herself. I know we all have our fiddle images on hand if that's not the case, of course.

Because if it isn't, it should be.

>there was never a Naka to begin with

I really don't want a bad end for Naka. She's fought so hard.

>>44981616
Anon, im sorry but BAD END is all that is going to happen to her. Sure she might go down fighting instead of converting, but she is a dead ships sailing.

>>44981565
The main problem with that twist is that it contradicts everything happening with Erry and Terry, as well as Naka's own conversations with her abyssal self, and the latest Ellytime.

>>44981644
I choose to have faith in Naka-chan, the fleet idol.

>>44981644
So you may say.

>>44981565
But we have, like, first-person narrative accounts from her.

Wouldn't that make some sort of facade like, philosophically impossible?

I can't believe planefag actually went back and paid some of his debts. Was quite surprising to see it update, and I won't have to come back to "Thread is auto-saging, by the way."

Naka's still with us for now, at least.
But at this point, would we really be able to tell if she lost? Not until the next writeup after it happened, really.

>>44981517
I'd more see her merging with her other half, healing the wound in her but most likely leaving her as a half abyssal for good.

Of course like Settle said, she's a spirit, their forms are conceptual and most likely partly based on perception.

Perception of themselves and the perceptions of others. Part of the reason Naka might have become like she was is because of her own issues and beliefs combined with Dark Naka's wishes.

As long as LCO is free Naka can't fix herself but if she's defeated, absorbed, or put to rest, perhaps Naka can move on and recover, or at least accept that she's not a useless pile of scrap pretending to be human.

It's less that and more that Japan blamed the living for why they kept losing battles.

For instance, the battle of Vella Gulf was the first battle in which she got that reputation. However, from the american perspective, she ran into Maury and five other destroyers who promptly sank her comrades after she advised them this might be a bad plan.

(As a reminder, Maury had a trail speed of 42.7 knots, 16 torpedo tubes, and a comparable main gun throw weight then Shimikaze on 1200 tons less. Further, she out shot the Japanese in night torpedo battle (the above) and survived the whole war earning 15 battle-stars after starting as Enterprise's plane guard.)

Similar events happened in many of the other battles she participated in.

Anyway the REAL reason to not want Allied ships in the game is that they'd either be hilariously overpowered or extremely historically inaccurate. There's pretty much no way to implement them properly without pissing off half the userbase.
