Bab 2: CHAPTER : 2 : Getting The Shits Together
Everyone is on their CIC (Combat Information Center) aboard their ship looking on the large screen everyone face can be seen. Enterprise starts the meeting by telling everyone to introduce their selves, starting with her.
"I see that all of you are confused right now... before we could start this meeting, please introduce your selves first, to let everyone familiarize to each other faces." She introduces herself first, as no one would like to start introducing themselves. "The name is Enterprise or USS Enterprise CVN-80."
Bunker Hill starts to introduce herself "The name is Bunker Hill or USS Bunker Hill CGN-76."
She said it with a stoic face and cold tone. Her face didn't show any concern that were plastered among the faces of others in the screen panel.
Essex then starts to looks around the monitor screen waiting for the next one to introduce themselves, she sighs and introduce herself. "The name is Essex or USS Essex LHA-12."
Essex's lips twitches along with her brows, as she tries to not scream in total embarrassment.
Lucas is next to introduce himself, he stood with a salute with mono-robotic tone as he introduces himself. "The name is Jack H. Lucas or USS Jack H. Lucas"
He represents himself as how a Marine introduces themselves with discipline and professionalism.
Lafayette is next to introduce himself. "The name is Lafayette or USS Lafayette".
Lafayette stutters as he introduces himself, and sounded like a Grade School introducing himself in front of his classmates in Grade School.
Maya is next to introduce herself. She stood from her seat and make a quick bow, her twitching doggy-ears got most of the attention. "The name is Maya or JS Maya of the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self Defense Force)"
She then quickly sat and covers her face with her hands to hide from embarrassment, her doggy-ears started to move. Everyone saw it and did not question any logic behind it, because they are already in a shit situation. And asking about the logic of the dog-ear would only add to more questions.
Belfast is nest to introduce herself. She stood at her seat and make a quick bow while lifting the edges of her skirt. "The name is Belfast or HMS Belfast, its good meeting you all Ma'am and Sir."
She introduces herself as "gentle woman" with elegance. She carriers the ethics of Royal Navy and its Royalty, she may look like a maid, but beneath the Maid suit there's a dark secret.
Lucas and Essex mutters to themselves "Damn."
Denver is next to introduce herself in her cheerful self. "Hello, there... the mane is Denver or USS Denver SSN-856. And it's nice to meet you all."
She introduces herself with cheeky and cheerful voice, as she introduces herself she moves along and made some hand gesture like 'peace' sigh with hands.
Essex, Lucas, Maya, Lafayette and Barb have the same reaction to Denver's cheerfulness. 'How the Fuck! she became so cheerful in the time of crisis!'
Unbeknownst to them, Denver is only lighten-up the mood because everyone is so depressed right now that you didn't need a narrator to notice their frowned faces.
Barb is next to introduce himself, he stood-up as he greets them. "The name is Barb or USS Barb, it's nice to mee— "
as Barb tries to introduce himself, he nearly puke and quickly covers his mouth. The effect of the transference is still in effect at his stomach.
Essex, Lucas, Maya and Lafayette tries hold on to their laughter, as muffled chuckles came-out from their mouths.
William is next to introduce himself, he looks to the eyes of everyone on the monitor before introducing himself. He stood and tip his cap as he introduces himself. "The name is William or USNS William McLean T-AKE-12".
Everyone then shifted their attention at the edge of the Monitor screen for the last one last one to introduce itself.
Laffey open her eyes and introduce herself. Not standing or showing any formality she just said "Laffey." with cold tone and with her typical stare and glowing red eyes followed by an intimidating aura forming behind her.
Essex, Lucas, Maya, Lafayette and Barb is sweeting bullets after looking at Laffey's red eyes with her murderous gaze and hearing a cold voice, they all gulps simultaneously.
"Okay, I think that is everyone." Enterprise clasps her hands and continue to speak. "Does any of you have any idea why we are here? and why we are humans?"
Everyone is silent and still shock about the revelation that they are human not ships, and they cannot contact the US Navy Pacific Command or any other contact that is related to Earth.
Bunker Hill reports about her findings. "According to what I gathered information, we cannot contact any of US Military Command or any Allied Bases. And even Military or Civilian Satellite or anything related to Earth. But I intercepted a high military coded message from Northeast to our current location."
She pauses a bit. Everyone stops what they are mumbling and listens to her, their attention is focused to her.
"The crazy part is that... it is similar to US Navy WW2 Naval code." Everyone was dumbfounded at her report even Enterprise, but not Laffey. She also intercepted the encrypted message.
"So that's maybe one of the reasons why we can't contact the High Command, but still not answer the other question. Why we have a human body" as Enterprise puts her hand on her temple and sigh.
"So... in a nutshell we don't where we are... and we are lost? Lucas spoke.
Enterprise is thinking something, she then looks at the monitor screen and saw Maya. "Maya, do you have any idea why we are humans?"
All of the people on monitor screen is now looking at Maya. In Maya's head her thought is racing to find an answer. She then starts to feel uncomfortable as she tries to find an answer, but doesn't know how to give a proper answer to Enterprise's question, without making it sound silly and stupid.
She's having a mental break down, as she crumbled her hair in anxiety. Enterprise saw this and tells her to stop.
"That's enough Maya, you don't have to answer it if you don't know the answer."
"Alright does anyone have any idea, why we were humans?"
Denver raised her hand, Enterprise saw her it in the monitor. "Okay Denver tell us what you got in mind."
Denver's eyes lit up, and answered it with a cheery voice. "I think we are being "Isekaid" to another world as a human. To fight Aliens."
( Image 1 )
Everyone just jaw drop on Denver's theory, Enterprise is having a confused face, Maya is turning red from embarrassment of some dumb "Anime" logics, Bunker Hill and Laffey not giving an F.
Lucas tries to counter Denver's theory. "Bullshit.! I think we're in a "Final Countdown" situation."
William counter's Lucas Blabbering. "So... can you explain why we have human's bodies?"
Lucas brain stops functioning for 10 sec. before making retort at William's statement. "Wormhole and... Space Time Magic." He then smiles awkwardly.
"Your stupid Crew watches to much Fucked-up anime, that your brain is so fucked-up too." Barb yells at the monitor screen.
"Shut your mouth asshole, your own Crew is to horny and got their own pipe leaking!" Lucas shouted back.
"Why you!"
Minutes have passed as the meeting at the Military Communication Lines becomes a nonsense blabbering between the three grown-up men arguing like bunch of kids shouting in a Zoom call. The whole situation in the comms becomes more and more awkward.
( Image 2 )
Essex is face palming to this awkward and totally stupid conversation. "We're not in a Fucking "Star Trek" franchise." She muttered to herself.
Enterprise listening to this awkward conversation, with popping veins in her forehead.
"Shut up!"
A low volume voice with a cold tone was heard at the comms. The three men looks at the direction of the voice. It was Laffey staring at them at the monitor screen with her red eye that looks like a "Terminator".
It was an awkward silence for a minutes before Enterprise breaks this awkward silence. "Alright people or ships... whatever you wanna called yourselves."
She then points at the monitor screen. "Bunker Hill, Barb and Denver I want you to be careful activating your Nuclear Reactors. And use only the Backup Generators for powering your ships, until we can activate it safely, we don't want to have a Chernobyl and Fukushima disaster in the middle of nowhere."
The three responds "Yes, Ma'am."
Getting teleported into an unknown world, and have a Fukushima and Chernobyl disaster is not in everyone's mind. Their location and position were all unknown and the only way to found out is to explore the whole new planet if friendlies exists or not.
"And also, Bunker Hill I want you to resume your investigation on this weird signals, and find out where we are."
"Right." Bunker Hill responded with a slight nod.
"Lucas, Maya and Laffey watch over the sky and horizon for any potential threats, and finds out how are we gonna operate and sail our ships."
"Roger that/Hai/Affirmative."
"Lafayette and Belfast watch out for any underwater threats."
"Roger that/Right away Miss Enterprise."
"Okay that's all folks, your all dismissed." Belfast and Maya make bows and the other US Naval Vessel salutes, the monitor screen then turns black.
Enterprise lean back to her chair and sigh heavily as the dire situation of getting sucked in unknown world is not enough. Being human is more complicated than them being teleported to any dimension. She then looks at her computer screen; she then asks the ships onboard A.I.
"Cortana, give me the status of my ships onboard Nuclear Reactor?"
(Cortana is the name given to ships onboard A.I. by the Officer, who work on Enterprise CIC they are also fan of Halo)
An A.I image with feminine feature appeared in one of the holographic table where holographic projection is available.
( Image 3 )
After appearing the A.I onboard starts to scan and calculate the Radiation level of the ships Nuclear Reactor. A few minutes later the calculation is finished, and the Cortana speaks in a robotic feminine voice.
"According to my latest scan on your reactor, there are no damage to the reactor and the radiation has tripled than the original readings." after hearing this Enterprise almost falls in her chair.
Enterprise quickly stands up and lean forward facing the holographic screen of the computer and asks again. "Is it safe to Activate the Reactor?"
Cortana responds. "Yes. it is safe, the higher Radiation is also helping the life span of the Nuclear Core."
Enterprise ask again in disbelief. "How much years would you think it take for me to refuel my Reactor Core."
Cortana calculates the reactor core life span "About 50-60 years. According to my latest calculation." She added.
Enterprise falls back into her chair with a dumbfounded expression as she mumbles to herself. "I just got my midlife refueling and over hall last year. DARPA and DOD will lose their nuts after hearing this."
(DARPA is Defense Advance Research Project Agency and DOD is Department of Defense)
She then returns to her senses and recomposed herself from the mountain of information that Cortana dumped on her, she gets up from her chair and fix herself. And starts to leave the CIC and heads to the Carriers Bridge or Island.
After getting in the Bridge she opens a communication with Bunker Hill, Barb and Denver. "Bunker Hill, Barb and Denver how was your reactor?"
The comms then was suddenly filled with shouting and blabbering coming from Denver and Barb, they were talking about their nuclear reactor doubling the life span..
Bunker Hill answered the comms with calmed voice. "My reactors are in a good condition to start, and no damage reported."
Enterprise sigh in relief, before she could talk to the comms, Bunker Hill continues to talk.
"About the encrypted message, here what it says: The fleet that was sent to intercept the Sakura Empire's fleet at Midway island that were missing for four days has appear in the Barents straight closer to Alaskan waters. It is now currently heading back to Pearl, the heavily damage ship are now on route to Bremerton, Washington for extensive repair. Date: June 6 1942."
"So basically were in the middle of WW2, and what is this 'Sakura Empire'?" Enterprise whispers to herself
"So what are the plan now, Ma'am?" Bunker Hill asked Enterprise on the comms.
She then thinks for a bit and spoke "Our plan now is to sail to Pearl Harbor and made contact with Earth, but before we can do that we need to figure out how to make our ship work and sail again."
Everyone is listening to comms and agrees.
~Time skip~
Enterprise thought. 'Sailing a ship is easy to learn. But now how do I fly my planes?'
She then looks outside the Carrier Bridge superstructure and saw bunch of planes raging from jet to propeller driven plane. On the starboard side of the flight deck a F/A 25 Hellcat/FAXX and its drone Wingman are parked.
Enterprise is on the ships bridge thinking on how she would launch a plane on her deck. Unbeknownst to her, the more she thinks of launching the plane off the deck of the Carrier. The plane starts to move on its own like it was alive and position itself on one of the EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System).
Her thought was cut off by a jet engine roaring like it wants to say It wanted to be launched, she thinks of launching the plane. The EMALS, catapulted the plane off the Carrier, as the jets then catapulted-off the Carrier, the Aircraft gains lift and starts to fly in the skies uncontested.
She smiled as she saw the jet flew in the sky, she then glances at one of the parked aircraft and her eyes darted at the propeller plane with circular disk on top.
She gives command at the parked E2E Hawkeye (Airborne Early Warning Radar) at the deck, as it slowly positioned itself at the Catapult, the plane takes off smoothly on the EMALS.
Enterprise smiles with satisfaction, she then carefully activates her Two Nuclear reactors and starts doing ship sea trials alongside her escorts, they then do the typical US Navy ship sea trials.
She and the other Ships is starting to get hang on controlling their Ship because they were ships before, but the human body still have some limitation, and it is playing a big factor. Especially when Enterprise tries to launch an entire squadron of planes in the sky, the mental toll of controlling multiple aircraft made her almost collapse.
Underneath Denver and Barb are carefully doing Ship Trials on their own respective Submarines. They were careful not to submerge too deep without having any knowledge of Human limitation, while trying to control a Submarine underwater.
"Man... we can dive deeper than this." Barb spoke in boredom, as he dives at the depth of 300 feet.
"You want go deeper dumbass, without having a prior knowledge of being a human first. And we have no means of rescue inside a Sub, yeah. good luck!" Denver replies in humorous tone.
The comms at the two Submarine barks. Scaring the two.
"I am not gonna conduct a Submarine rescue operation, if one of you, dumbass sinks!" Enterprise yells in annoyance.
"Yes, Ma'am."
