Video / un; Enterprise

[lucky_e]

I guess introductions are in order. I am the Yorktown class aircraft carrier, Enterprise. Hull number CV-6. "Grey Ghost" is one of the many nicknames I have. If any of you recognize it.

[She currently sat with her captain's hat and officer's coat hanging off in the background. Her massive bow hanging nearby her rigging. In her hand was a warm cup of coffee that she took her time sipping on.]

With that out of the way, I was wondering what your homes are like. Or, if you don't want to answer that, maybe something about yourselves. Especially if you're from the Sutoku Alliance.

Another person who recognizes me?

[She really hadn't been expecting this. Mostly the Kansan figured that she'd be given a few confused looks.]

To answer your question. They're fully functional, normal sized aircraft that I can fire and control at will.

[Granted she currently doesn't have access to them, but given her ship parts in the background that might change.]

[fuckdogramagra]

Normal-sized aircrafts...! Surely that's too big!!

[ On one hand, terrifying. On the other hand...he is still a little kid who wants to see an aeroplane up close. Hrm, decisions... ]

Are other... [ He doesn't want to say 'things'. That'd be rude. But, uh...how does he say this...? ] Boats and the like, are they the same? Surely if any ship would develop a spirit, the Nagato would. [ He's technically not supposed to know that fact either, but the ship's aid during the Great Kanto Earthquake is too much to ignore. ]

[lucky_e]

Maybe you'll get to see them one day.

[If she's ever able to have access to them here. It would certainly be interesting to have access to them again.]

Of course, there's plenty other ships like me out there. Nagato is also one of them. [Granted, Enty could really only speak about Nagato in a more-or-less courteous manner.]

Unfortunately, I'm not precisely in regular contact with them.

[fuckdogramagra]

Well, I suppose that stands to reason you wouldn't be in pleasant contact...but it's amazing that ships can become tsukumogami at all! Even if it's certainly in a different world from mine, it shows the affection and pride of the people of that world. ⭐

I've always been fascinated by ships and submarines and planes. The scientific fiction here seems to support that interest, so many people here should be receptive of your world, as well! Better than the dinosaur craze, or the Venusians and Martians phenomena...

[ He's just mad aliens aren't real. That he knows of. ]

[lucky_e]

[He hits pretty close to how the other shipgirls were formed with the whole affection and pride bit. Enty doesn't say anything on it, however. Certain things were potentially going to open up a can of worms she'd rather remain closed. For now, at least.

It would all come in baby steps.]

That's very kind of you to say. I'm sure most are after having a bit of time to let it sink in. It would probably just be another thing to add to their list of oddities. [A soft smile is thrown his way in return.]

You're interested in the Navy, are you?

[fuckdogramagra]

I guess not the navy itself, I've sort of run afoul of the military back home enough times for that to be awkward. (°◇°;) But the technology of submarines and boats still interests me deeply!!

They used to be confined to simple scientific fiction, so seeing their genuine advancements, the things they can do now like scanning the ocean floor, and being able to coordinate with planes, and using radio signals!! It's all stunning feats of ingenuity! It gives that feeling of, 'anything is possible'.

Of course, here we have little phones that can search for any information within our hand here in hell, so maybe I shouldn't be waxing poetical...but I'm still a simple boy who finds awe in everything.

[lucky_e]

I see, yes there is quite a bit of engineering and technological prowess that goes into the creation and use of ships. More than enough to capture a person's imagination.

[She might also expand on it further. To point out that those ships also carry along human ingenuity, craftsmanship, their hopes, dreams, and yearning to explore and expand beyond themselves and their horizon.]

You sound like you're interested in mechanical engineering. It's fine to find awe in things. Especially something new to you, like a cellphone. Are there things here that you're not quite used to yet?
