Here's the 2nd snippet on that Ooyodo isekai.
Snippet 1
SNIPPET #2 Revised:
Early morning in the Mess seemed to be a flurry of activity as KAN-SEN eat and socialize with each other about the most mundane things. The place seemed less of a military posting and more like a community/town.
Ooyodo noted these things as she sat eating her breakfast. Getting a bit more sense of herself she started to review the memories she seemed to gain. Apparently she somehow took possession of the ship girl named Edinburgh of the Town-class ships of the British Royal Navy. She is a ship girl or KAN-SEN, as officially recognized, belonging to an international naval organization called Azur Lane that consists of multiple major nations that include expies of the ones Ooyodo is familiar with. They are the Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Iron Blood, Sakura Empire, Dragon Empery, Iris Orthodoxy, Sardegna Empire, and Northern Parliament. They are just the United States, United Kingdom of Great Britain, Germany, Japan, China, France, Italy, and Russia with different names respectively.
Ooyodo mentally noted to read up some history books to make sense of this later. She put her fingers on her brow to massage the headache she's getting from this as she starts reviewing her memories further. Moving on said organization was formed to combat the Siren threat. These Sirens are mysterious advanced technological foes that appeared out of nowhere during this world's equivalent of World War I and started to attack humanity, nearly reducing their population in the millions and cutting them off from the seas. Azur Lane was formed to fight them back. It was during this time that the so-called Mental Cubes were discovered and was used to create these ship girls or KAN-SEN.
Massaging her brow, Ooyodo just sighed reviewing the next set of memories. With the ship girls helping repel the Siren Invasion, humanity would once again regain control of the seas. For a time.
Then hostilities between the member factions happened. Without a common foes humanity turned on each other. Apparently many factions within Azur Lane soon came to the idea to take to take control of the Sirens and their technology and started hostilities over it, which lead to a second faction, Crimson Axis, and wage this world's equivalent of World War II with the respective nations and alliances that imply.
I supposes that's probably the reason why she noticed many ubiquitous devices such as smartphones and tablets on my way to the mess. At least this WWII ended just recently, with the reemergence of the Sirens who weren't defeated at all. They just bided their time apparently. File it later Ooyodo. Concentrate on more important things such as this coffee I'm enjoying. Ooyodo thought to herself drinking her blend of coffee which she's thankful it exists in this world.
Ooyodo being deep into her thoughts nearly missed her sisters calling her.
"Edinburgh! Are you there?" Sheffield said.
"Hmm? Wha—Sorry. I was lost in thought. What were you saying just now?" Ooyodo replied breaking out of her thoughts, sounding like how her host should, a bit nervous and jumpy as she put down her morning coffee.
"We've been calling you for the past 20 minutes. We thought we'd have to call Vestal," said the beautiful woman with silver hair and generous curves in a maid outfit. Ooyodo know her to be Belfast thanks to her host's memories.
"Sorry. I got lost in thought," Ooyodo replied in Edinburgh's clumsy mannerisms with practiced ease. Hopefully this would stave off some suspicion on why she might act differently to everyone "she" knows.
"Apparently. Have you noticed your table? Really noticed?" Sheffield said as she pointed to a spot. Said spot contained a high stack of empty plates. Ooyodo looked at the empty plates before asking Sheffield what she meant but now started to look at her surroundings. Everyone in the mess was quiet as they stared at the empty plates that was visible to them. Ooyodo looked and saw that she was the only one that had this many empty plates.
Damn it! Ooyodo realized too late that ship girls here only ate normal human portion-sized meals. Ooyodo was too busy with her thoughts that she automatically started to eat large portion sized meals. It's not entirely her fault though as the ship girls that Ooyodo is from are partly made of magic and concepts that feeding some thousands of sailors in a warship would directly translate to ship girls eating that much amount as their form of resupply. The KAN-SEN world Ooyodo found herself in are the opposite. She could hear the murmurings of other ship girls now.
"Oh my God! How the hell is she eating that many!?"
"Should we be concerned about this?"
"Is she practicing for an eating competition?"
"Waste not, Want not, I always say."
Ooyodo looked at sisters having a concerned look towards her and replied, "I was hungry?"
"We're going to see Vestal now," Belfast said before getting up and grabbing onto her elder sister's side and drag her to the infirmary.
"This qualifies as an emergency," Sheffield said as she too grabbed her elder sister's other side to drag her as well.
"Wait! I can walk! You don't have too…" Ooyodo just barely struggled to get out of their grasp but they were a bit too strong. She's going to have to think how she'll have to explain herself out of this one and Edinburgh's memories are not forthcoming.
AN: Thoughts anyone? A bit of an info dump but necessary to set things up. And I have no idea what to do next. I did have a vague outline of Ooyodo kicking out the previous Secretary ship for doing a shoddy job, only using it as an excuse for the commander to have her bent over a desk all day every day with just enough paperwork done to keep the base running. It also lead to the military operations being lackluster to the Siren threat. But that's just my take on the idea. Everyone else is welcome write for it.
Edit: Edited to make Ooyodo's inner thoughts more prominent
Edit #2: Edited to make it so that it doesn't sound like I'm bashing the setting, despite what others thought.
