Don't take the sea devil's bargain. Give her an inch and she'll take it a mile.
I've also got a gut feeling that she's bluffing. Our fleet getting wiped feels too abrupt; if the sirens always had this capability, why haven't we heard about it before? Don't give up, fight back with everything we have.

Okay I just remembered that there's a correct answer to "do ye fearrrr death?" now that you put it that way.
[X] [No]
Sirens want data, so they don't outright send death balls, unless anomalies happen and they either send the proper response (Purifiers I think and the likes though I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly since I stopped playing for a decade or half) or slowly ramp up the difficulty of said forces until the world breaks.
I'm not sure if the fact that Sirens are apparently made by humans from another timeline to supposedly avert some sort of disaster a thing or something. Eh, not going to jump into that rabbit hole yet.

I'm curious if the quest will actually end if we just 'accept our fate'.

In actual AL canon that is definitely the case. Of course whether the author actually adheres to that is a whole other question.
Well, the battle gone very bad. Looked like I was expecting too much from anti-sub weapons and tactics from this time period. But still, a Siren making a bargain with us? Still on par with what currently going on with Azure Lane main story. But i still dont know how much this quest changes from the main Azure Lane story in regards to Sirens. So currently holding my vote.
I just wonder, if we didn't do this, would we have been court-martialed for dereliction of duty?

If this quest ends here would it be a valid nomination for best completed quest?

I'll say that there are authors, who make the readers bear the brunt of the consequences of their choices, especially if the readers choose to be silly and, metaphoricaly speaking, put their fingers in electric socket. Though, those moments are usually very obvious.
As someone who doesn't know AL lore, I'm not sure if the socket comparison can be applied here. Still, being defiant in the face of someone who just tore down the 4th wall is kinda risky.
Too risky.

It'd likely end the quest yes. I'm changing things a bit because I've been floundering for a while, and this is testing to see if people want to try a new direction.

Oh well that's what I was afraid of originally. There's a lot to go into the ethics of our situation here in the hypothetical situation where we're causing problems in an alternate reality just because we want to know what happens but
[X] [Yes]

Him, Why if google translate is right

... wait shit I WAS JOKING
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *closes laptop* Eldritch horrors can't get me if I close the lid!
... uuh given I think everyone fscking died...
[X] [Yes]
I'm assuming this is something like a Taiga Dojo situation but less... well fun because no Taiga.
Well crud. I don't suppose we'd get a chance to continue with a new character to pick up the pieces? Voting yes feels like a betrayal, but if voting no just ends the quest that's no fun.

A betrayal how?
Betrayal of character, from my POV Stevens would be allowing a malign influence into his head, which would run counter to his duty as a flag officer.
Maybe I'm missing some nuances (I know very little about Azur Lane), but this feels like it's setting up the PC to potentially be controlled/influenced by the Sirens.

Shes not asking Anderson. She's asking you. She isn't doing anything to him going forward. She's doing things to the reader.
