After arriving in the base Lucas helps the ship girls that are injured
Damn this place is crippled to the ground' Lucas said as he look around
Then suddenly Lucas heard someone call his name
You're Lucas... Right?' said Whales
Ah... yes I am Lucas' said Lucas
First of all thank you for helping Hornet's fleet and... What might be your purpose' said Whales
What do you mean?' said Lucas
I mean there's a reason why you help us right?' said Whales
...Well how can I say these... To be honest I just came across into Hornet's fleet and coincidentally they are being attack so I decided to help' said Lucas
Is that so? Then how come you know about us?' said Whales
So Belfast informs you huh' said Lucas
You know our names too... I don't remember meeting someone like you' said Whales
Well I rather say the information later once the girls are in good condition' said Lucas as he looks at the ship girls
Oh yeah! May I ask which year we are right now? It's been so long that lost count of years' said Lucas
...The current year right now is 1954' said Whales
So it's been 40 Years huh' Lucas murmur
Did you just say something?' curiously said Whales
Oh it's nothing at all!' said Lucas
Well you said you will wait for the girls to get better before you said who you are right? Then follow me' said Whales
Lucas follows Whales after a moment they arrive in a building and Whales lead Lucas into some sort of room
Please rest here for now I'll send someone to accompany you and after a hour or so I will invite you in a meeting' said Whales
Is that so? Then thank you you can leave me alone now rest assured I will not leave' said Whales
After that Whales leave Lucas alone since she still has things to do
Then Lucas see's a chair near a window so he decided to rest there since he is still quite sleepy
Hmm... It's quite breezy here' said Lucas
He can also see the shipgirls from the window, Lucas watches them and without knowing it Lucas fall asleep
∆∆∆∆
poke...poke...poke
Lucas can feel that someone is poking his cheeks but since Lucas is still sleepy he didn't flinch
Then he feel that someone is still poking his cheeks but this time he finally wakes up
What might you be doing Belfast?' said Lucas
Pardon me but master looks really cute while sleeping so I can't help myself' said Belfast
Whales sends me to accompany master but when i arrive here master is sleeping... Anyways you need to prepare master you don't forget about the meeting right?' said Belfast
Yeah thanks for waking me out can you please lead me to the meeting room?' said Lucas
∆∆∆∆
Meanwhile At The Meeting Room...
Some girls are in the meeting room waiting for Lucas and another shipgirl while they are waiting Whales engage a conversation
About Enterprise she save the base and Hornet's fleet too there's no doubt that she is extremely powerful' said Whales
But our expectations are met too... If Lucas doesn't arrive who knows what would happen' said Illustrious
Are you concerned about her?' said Whales
Illustrious nods
She saved Unicorn, I do not wish to see her get ground down over the course of the war' said Illustrious
In that case perhaps we should have a word with her majesty' said Whales as she looks into Queen Elizabeth
What do you think your majesty?' said Whales
I understand what you had to tell me but isn't that an issue to be dealt with by the Eagle Union? I don't feel it is appropriate for us to chime in' said Queen Elizabeth
"..."
There's a moment of silent in the room until Illustrious break the silence
But her strength will be surely needed in the upcoming battles we cannot let her perish here' said Illustrious
You sound quite determine may I ask why?' said Hood
The holy light guides me' Illustrious happily said
That again?' said Warspite
We cannot underestimate her intuition don't you agree' said Hood
Then suddenly someone knocks the door
Enter' said Whales
Then Enterprise enters thee meeting room and sits beside Cleveland
Then after Enterprise enters the room Lucas and Belfast arrives
Now then moving to the main subject' said Whales as Lucas arrives
Lucas then sits at the end of the table with Belfast beside her
As you promise Lucas may you introduce yourself?' said Whales
With pleasure' said Lucas
∆∆∆∆
I have many names but you guys already know that my name is Lucas and I prefer you call me Lucas... If I have to be honest I'm just passing by when I met Hornet's fleet and decided to help... As you know I'm a unique one being able to switch between ships whenever I want to and more importantly I'm a boy...' said Lucas
And for my origin... Well I rather not talk about it' said Lucas with a sarcastic smile
Which kinda scared some of the girls
A some sort of bystander huh? But your knowledge about us says a different story's said Queen Elizabeth
It's because I'm much older than any of you' said Lucas
A tea for you master' said Belfast as she gave Lucas a tea
Thank you very much' said Lucas as he take a long sip
Is that so? Then mind to say how old are you?' said Queen Elizabeth
After hearing Queen Elizabeth question Lucas stops drinking his tea and place it in the table
I'm 58 years old' said Lucas with smile
58 years old?!' Said All Of Them
All the girls that are present cannot believe what they just heard
Now it make sense why you are so strong you must be had way more battle experience than any of us not even the oldest ships' said Enterprise
My strength not only comes from my ship... As you know I have a unique kind of ship that you guys never seen before which some of you my think that's why I'm strong. If you do then your not that wrong but my main strength came purely from my skill' said Lucas
And believe it or not I already took this statement into extreme and killed a high ranking Siren using my bare hands and somehow came out alive' said Lucas
"..."
All of them are simply too stunned to speak and the room is in silence once again
Then Whales finally break the silence because she taught this is the perfect time to ask Lucas to became their Commander
These may seem not the perfect time but Lucas... Can you became our commander?' said Whales
As Whales says that the room became quite once again
The girls knew that Lucas is powerful and they needed his strength to win this war and they're also needed a commander
After a moment and deep thinking Lucas broke the silence
I'm sorry but I decline' said Lucas
May I know why?' said Whales kinda disappointed
Well I don't entirely decline the idea, but I don't have much relationship with you guys to begin with and so on you didn't still earn my trust, but I promise that I will protect you guys until all things came back to normal and who knows... I might change my mind later on and became your commander... That is my answer' said Lucas as he took another sip from his tea
Is that so... So can I call you commander?" said Whales
Honestly... Call me whatever you want' said Lucas
Very well... Commander...' said Whales with a smile
