Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

Reader mode
Just realised another, bigger problem that Thomspon has (kicking myself for not realising it sooner), bigger even than the source of his knowledge, depending how Much Lil' E has blabbed

Utah

Because if Lil' E Knew about Thompsons Future Knowledge, including his Future Intereactions with the Ships, including herself, then she Knows about the Summonings.

Meaning that Utah now Knows that Cali and Okie can Come back

And she is Not going to hear anyone trying to tell her no. She just Isn't
It's not going to matter that Thompson doesn't know about the summoning Ritual's particulars or how to do it.
She's not going to hear it.
It Doesn't Matter that Thompson isn't going to want to do it because of the Risk of reaching into the Abyss, either.
She doesn't care about that.

Utah is going to Make Thompson Bring Cali and Okie Back, and she's not going to give any attempt at refusal a chance.
She Knows it can be done. She Is Proof that it can be done, therefore, she Is going to Make Thompson do it.

Of course, the problem there is, Thompson really Can't do it, but That's not telling Utah what she wants to hear.

Didn't She already know, though?
 
Eh, right now, I think Utah is still working through her whole 'blood rare to worry about it now... not to sat it wont happen, just that its a future problem...
 
I'm probably misremembering, but as far as I can recall, Thompson told Saratoga everything, but not the other Ships in Pearl at the time about him being from the Future, just that he could see them, due to Reasons(TM).

Sara managed to flub this with Enterprise, because she let slip about the Gray Ghost that Thompson had told her about to Lil' E, so she then had to explain it to Lil' E.

During the Pearl Attack, Utah ended up summoning herself, which Thompson basically implied he knew could happen.

But I don't think he confirmed the idea that it could be done purposefully.

And then Sara got bombed, Thompson got KO'ed, and Lil' E blabbed to Halsey. Halsey went to Richardson, and given how scuttlebutt gets round a Navy, espoecially members of a Navy who have Radio Built in...

Even If I'm wrong, and he had told all about it...well, hearing about it sounds interesting...but then Utah adds 2+2 and gets 4 and suddenly it's More than Just Interesting. Suddenly, it's not just an interesting anecdote, it's literally her Daughters Back.

Given her sudden recent change in status, coupled with her anger at the attack and then the guilt, over her own actions and the loss of Cali and Okie...

My personal read is that she's likely to latch onto this obsessively; it will work, it has to work, they have to come back...they have to be able to bring them back...

Ooh, when Thompson tells Utah he Can't do it, she hears he Won't do it, with a side effect of that effectively making her the First Abyssal.
 
Considering I'm focusing on Schreiber and Europe at the moment...semi-relevant video/song:



(of course, I always take the chance to plug Sabaton when it's relevant. Or even when it isn't :V)

Only semi-relevant since the next chapter is going to focus on Doria, not Bisko.

Bismarck is now BFFs with the Winged Hussars, and will arrive alongside them.

A rock song ostensibly played over Bismarck's last known position?

OK, who on the WOWs team that helped with this is the secret Weeb?:V

I think they called Bismark an 'he' - that would be more than enough to make the summoning fail :V

The battleship, standing atop her bridge, barely noticed that. Her attention was drawn to her sister and her...cousin. Caio Duilio and Giulio Cesare. The two battleships were never intended to do this alone. Nor was the battleship herself, really. They should have had the Littorio sisters to help.

Still under repair after one year? That's... a lot of time - to the point I have trouble understanding how the Italians kept their supply lines open.

EDIT: ...I guess that without Matapan, all the Zara class cruisers are still operational, at least.
 
Last edited:
I believe that Matapan has happened. Sky just hasn't mentioned which heavy cruisers sank and which survived. Due to butterflies, Pola might still have been in reserve and thus survived this time around.
 
I'll be going over what's happened in the Med later on.

...also, if I left a reference about repairing from Taranto damage in there, that's something from an earlier draft that escaped the editing pass >.>

(My intention is that Littorio and VV have been hit again since then. This is both to reflect how often they got hit IRL, and also to allow me having the WW1 BBs as the main force. I need it that way for the scenes I want to write.

Similarly, with Bisko not sunk, the Brits are keeping all their modern capital ships (sans PoW) close to home.)

Here's the big problem: Even in Thompson's original timeline, summoning has never been 100% successful. The problem is explaining that to Utah, especially if there are multiple failures.
