O-kay, bit sure why you linker that. But alright, just wanted to make sure on which you wanted.
Well, cuddling basically a very intimate hug. So if Enty won't freak out if Yamato does that, then I'll drop the vote.
It doesn't matter too much to me, though I wanted to make sure which one you wanted and the potential fall out of one or the other.

Also, on Halloween I'm planning on doing a special day of updates. They'll be shorter, but I'll have multiple Halloween themed ones all in one day. And if there's enough interest, I might start a little early...for me that is.
 
Well ...

It might be worth noting that Maury and Shigure met during WW2 in a night torpedo battle, and that's not the conclusion I'd draw from it.
Huh, I was just referring to how early USN torpedoes were terrible in comparison. And those are what Maury would likely have right now as a pre war ship.

Though another factor to John doing what he did was the whole wearing spandex and how she was acting, alongside the only other option would have been risking how O'Bannon would act if Shigure was left alone on base or there was no one to watch her on the mission. Plus it would be better to not risk the white mage when it can be helped for something not too high priority.

But now Maury will likely be bringing that up later.

A very lady update, also a nuke.
Well since there is no one unified vote, the bones decide...and looks like someone's been getting lucky. Also still looking for a beta.

After the main fleet returned they showed John the loot they somehow got.

"Alright, so a friggin nuke."

"Not quite-"

"Mahan, not the big issue right now."

"Ah, yes."

'So, I'm going to go make a few-"

And then Hollywood superstar Shia LaBeouf jumped out of the water, pitched a package at John's head then left. Kicking off the water like a dolphin as he left, violence still in his eyes.

With a pause, John looked at the package. It was from Kongou's old base, it looked to be some of her stuff.

"Okay, that's one less problem for later. O'Bannon, Shigure could one of you bring this to Kongou? I need to make some calls right away." John said before heading away to make some very important calls.
----
"Okay...yeah...I know...okay...so there'll be someone sent soon to take care of it? Thank you, just let us know when to expect whoever." John said as he finished the call in the communications center. Brushing his hands, John left to get back to his office to get more work done. Though on the way he had a surprise when he was passing by the back up summoning room. That was glowing. When it shouldn't have. Deciding this was more important, John just went into the room to wait for the ritual to end.

It took about fifteen more minutes, but when it was done was a surprise result even by these standards. The ship girl standing there was tall, had purple hair, and looked like she was likely on the adult side of things....by ship girl standards at least.

"Akatsuki class destroyer Akatsuki reporting sir. Let us achieve greatness elegantly." The now named Akatsuki said.

"Hello, I'm John. And I'm the commander of this base, and I would like to welcome you to my forces. Now there's some things you may need to now..." John said as a lead off to explain things to Akatsuki about what was going on. It took about ten minutes for the abbreviated version of things since John wasn't in a great rush, but did have other duties to take care of. During it all, Akatsuki just sat there listening and asking questions for clarity. Whether it had been about how things had changed since she was a ship, how the war against the abyssals had been going on for more than ten years, multiple summonings of similar ship girls, and all manner of other things. When things were winding down John asked Akatsuki whether she wanted to head to his office for more information or to get her accommodations taken care of.

"I will head with you commander, it would not do to be less informed than I need to be for what may come." Was her response, as she slowly brushed her hair back.

"Alright, then let's be on our way."
----
The walk was thankfully not full of too much excitement, with the only thing of note being WOsp joining them since she had left the office to grab a drink. Which meant Kongou had been left alone...for who knows how long. And if not for how close they were John would have started sprinting to stop the oncoming chaos. Though that was not too necessary.

"Yes, Kongou does want the maximum strength industrial size Viagra dess-" Kongou was saying, before WOsp got her in a head lock.

Just massing his temples, John went over to the phone on his desk Kongou was using and decided to take care of one problem first.

"Yes, hello? Yeah, cancel that order. Really? All the time? Wow, that is just....I don't even know. Well thanks...no I don't want a free tote bag...hm, no I just don't want to cause more trouble then necessary. Thanks." After ending the call, John took a breath. Then turned off the small television that he hadn't even realized was in the wall, and turned to Kongou. "So Kongou, what did you think you were doing."

"Getting ready, dess."

"Uh huh, ready for what."

"Our honeymoon dess." Kongou said with wide eyes, filled with something John dare not try and fathom.

"Right, no."

"B-b-but, why dess." Kongou practically cried out, almost in tears.

"I've known you for less than 24 hours, and that's way too short for anything meaningful. If you want something meaningful, then give it time and don't try to rush ahead."

"Well said commander, a proper lady does not rush into such things. She takes her time, and does such things no earlier than when she is ready. Alongside both partners being willing." Akatsuki said with a slight nod and smile.

"W-well, alright dess. Kongou will give it time." Kongou quietly said while misty eyed.

"Alright then, WOsp would you please take Kongou to the mess so she could have some tea or something else she might find comforting. She seems like she'll need it."

With a nod WOsp let Kongou out of the headlock, and tried to lead her into the mess. With them gone, John went to his desk to pull out the sheets with the information Akatsuki wanted.

More shipping of the ships. Also, the idea of Akatsuki growing up to be the lady she always wanted to be except for the fact she is still mispronouncing "elegant" amuses me.

Okay, I like these. Much funnier then some of mine.
Although I still kinda want to have Shigure trying to tease O'Bannon by flirting with her causing O'Bannon to get all flustery and such.

Wait, what if she tries to flirt with O'Bannon by using awful pick-up lines? Could you do that?

That is... acceptable. Also hilarious.
Probably would've ended with O'Bannon not quite getting it most of the time until horrible horrible clarity occurred. At which point she would likely have tried to choke Shigure by shoving a potato down her throat, and only being held back because of Maury.

Not likely going to happen now with all of the other stuff happening, considering the current votes.

----------
After giving Akatsuki the information she needed, John just kept doing paper work. After awhile of this and reading the material she got, Akatsuki volunteered to act as secretary for the rest of the day.

Most of the forms John had to deal with were relatively normal. Requisition forms for equipment, some forms for resupply to make sure there were enough resources to keep things running, and so on. Though the marriage forms were odd, those were passed off unsigned. Akatsuki got a bit red at seeing them, there was a bit of raised words between her and Kongou for a bit. But otherwise not much was happening.

It took about an hour or two to get the forms done. While that was happening all of the other ship girls were practicing, doing all sorts of firing practice and going through different formations so they'd be ready for future fights. Wisconsin was leading the gun practice, while Yamato was helping out Enterprise with practice for her planes. It was mostly uneventful and would continue for a couple more hours.

With the lions share of his work done, John decided to pop over to one of the nearby islands to get some lunch. Almost all thanks to some special coupons and discounts he would be getting.

"Okay, I'm gonna go out for a bit. Along the way I'm gonna grab some food. Just write down what you guys want if you want anything."

"Alright, what type of food do they-*John raises a sheet of paper with the menu on it*-ah, that will do."Akastuki says, before looking through the paper and writing down what she wanted. Kongou and WOsp follow soon after.

"So, off I go." And John was off after grabbing the papers and a jacket. A little later John asked the other ship girls the same question, which was followed by a short frenzy of them writing down what they wanted. With that done John joined one of the boats heading for one of the larger islands.

A few hours later, mostly filled with doing paperwork type things and getting an absurdly large order of food. John was on his way back, with a boat full of forms and food being driven by one of the bases crewmen snacking on some fries. When they got back,it took some doing but most of the ship girls got their food. It was mostly some cheap McDonald's burgers, and what not though. But Enterprise's reaction to the happy meal she got was quite nice, even if John questioned why Yamato had one of the crewmen record it with a camera.

John meanwhile went back to his office with a few bags of food, when he got there he put the bags on his desk and turned on the television in there. Kongou had some chicken, WOsp and Akatsuki however had burgers.

After the tv was turned on John tried flipping through the channels for something to watch, he settled on one of the local syndicates.

"Huh, I forgot they got a Bismarck for one of these. I still miss the special Expendables part of this add campaign."

"Hmm, what do you mean commander?" Akatsuki asked, wondering why the blonde ship girl was no longer riding a horse but wearing a jet pack.

"Oh, yeah that. Well add campaigns can be a bit different in some ways these days, some like to lean more towards the absurd or ridiculous."

"Ah...but what are they even selling?"

"Deodorant."

"...What is the point of such ridiculousness for simple deodorant?"

"Well, it works. And that's what will matter in the end."

"...The future is strange."

"It's certainly different to say the least." John said as the conversation reached a lull and the news came on. There was a thing on a retired Tenryuu opening a ship girl daycare, there even seemed to be a great deal of support. Though John wasn't sure how useful it might be, then again he also was never to involved with ship girls outside of the usual before now. At the least the segment implied that a large number of the younger ship girls would be watched over a little better.

After a few more smaller segments of the news, there was thing on one of those animal rights groups advocating abyssals to be treated as a protected species.

"Commander, what is wrong with some of these people?"

"They are in a number of cases out of touch with reality. And also in far too many cases think human lives are the least valuable types of lives."

"...That's sad."

"Yes, it is."
-------
While that was happening.

"Alright, so I Yamato shal deal with the accomodations for us all with the various new arrivals."

"You sure about that?" Wisconsin asked in the middle of eating burgers.

"Of course, it wont be difficult. Now give me a moment."
-----------------
I'm not too happy with what's here, I might come back and fix things later depending on what you all think.
