Alaska shook her head. "I don't think so…" She shrugged and fished her phone from her pocket. Her real phone, not the burner she'd had Texas help her rig up. After fumbling in her lock code and stumbling her way through the menus, she got to her message log. "Yeah, no message."

That is some dedication to the plan, right there. I am amused they went as far as rigging a burner phone, just to have plausible deniability.

Bowers stifled a giggle. The way she heard it, Jersey had stayed up all night. First to get Shinano tucked in and read her a bedtime story, then to sate the legendarily gluttonous appetite that a woman with her chiseled stomach should in no way have. "I got you coffee ma'am."

Jersey slowly blinked. Slowly the gears in her mind started turning, and she stiffly reached for the tall cup Bowers was holding. Her fingers closed around the warm cardboard and with immense effort brought the steaming liquid to her lips. Her head tilted back and her long, thick neck rippled as she downed the whole thing in one long sip.

"Hmm." The battleship crushed the now-empty cup in her massive hand. Her eyes were still lidded, but at least there was some visible spark of life behind those icy portals. "'s good."

"Thank you, ma'am." Bowers glowed with pride. She'd made something that could wake up a battleship—albeit only just. Jersey still looked tired and hungover. "It's espresso, but instead of water, I used monster."

Jersey squinted at the sailor. "If I were human, this would've killed me wouldn't it."

"Oh, by the first sip at least."

The battleship cracked a sleepy smile. "I like you, yeoman."

I kinda have to try this now. Not least because nothing I can find in a store is caffeinated enough, and the water in Houston is fluoridated besides (and thus unsuitable for anything but brushing teeth and washing things).
 
Great update! Congrats to Jersey on finally getting a new minion, er yeoman, to help her with admin! And Alaska, we love it when a plan comes together....

If I am not mistaken, the combination of strong coffee and strong energy drinks can cause heart issues if you have any sort of heart problem.

I do not believe I am imagining things when I say that people have literally died from that combination.

I am now grateful that I like neither of those.
 
I think a plate of cinnamon rolls would win him major points with his Sara. That and he knows the game she's playing.

Ewww.... that sounds disgusting. Then again, Jersey might be able to just drink straight jet fuel, or 151 rum without blinking.

Maybe it'd finally get Musashi to shut up.

A noble goal, but a futile hope.

We're measuring Destroyers by volume now? :)

And while his back was turned, for just the briefest fraction of an instant, Alaska and Atago shared a sly grin.

Masters of subtlety, you two. :p

No, you see... they're so unsubtle most of the time that nobody thinks to look for subterfuge.

You know, that makes me wonder if this would hold true for Jersey and Musashi...that's perhaps the third most terrifying thought to have ever crossed my mind :o

Edit:
We need more of this, Someone introduce the Duckies to Donuts!

And found it:
Andie's Jersey's Breakfast (made with all St. George & Hangar One spirits):
One pint glass filled with ice and shaker.
Pour 3oz of absinthe and 2oz BBotE (I find Kona & Kenya work best for this) over the ice.
Add a dash of chipotle vodka.
Fill the remainder of the pint glass with chocolate soy milk.
Shake and strain.
