As everyone stared at Tarawa's dismembered armed laying on the ocean surface it was both flesh with some bits of metal and wires sticking out of it as she picked it up.

Iowa: You ok?

Tarawa: I'm good i feel pain but nothing that a reattachment could fix

Yorked: Oh yeah also i think she missed fired and....i think a shell hit me in the stomach 

Texas: How do you kno--- ooohhh shit...

{Just use your mind for it i searched bullet wound and thru up}

Yorked: Could use some help here

Little Rock: I got you 

Little Rock came up to Yorked and pulled out some sort of device it rewired the metal bits in her stomach then regenerated the flesh in her stomach.

Yorked: Much better 

Tarawa grabbed out of one of her pockets a gel and applied it to her arm which then harden rock solid.

Iowa: See this is what happens when in fighting is a thing in this world 

Z23: WHAT ZE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas: {Aims shotgun at her head} Alright should i blow her head off?

NC: I believe its time 

Iowa: But first a call a ceasefire with AL i already know that Red Axis ain't a full alliance 

Bismarck: How do you kno-

Missouri: We do the talking around here Kraut!!

Iowa: Okay yadayada your all under arrest in the name of Azur Lane surrender before thing get even more ugly 

After some beat ups they took them prisoners dragging them back to base. As Tarawa checked out her now detached arm as Iowa walked up to her.

Iowa: You good??

Tarawa: Yeah its harden and the bleeding has stopped i should be good in a while once i reattach it

Iowa: I remember seeing the process on how the builds go and..the upgrades me and my sisters got

Tarawa: Yeah... those damn screams i could hear them from a kilometers away all the flesh everywhere you couldn't walk for a whole month before launch

Iowa: Yeah the millennial days ain't like this days where we use mental cubes to create

As they arrived back the Ironblood were taken to the holding cells while Tarawa went to Moced to fix her arm. As she and Yorked docked up in Moced's built in dry dock as she got off.

Moced: So how did it go?

Tarawa: ME first.. what happened over here while we were gone?

Moced was cleaning what were metal fragments

Moced: Oh Midway had a small accident got some metal stuck into her.... what happened to you?

Tarawa: Friendly fire or slash.... tis but a scratch can you help me reattach it?

Yorked: Miss fire stomach is bleeding...

Moced: Uuuuhhhh sure....

Yorked went into another room to get her wound fixed as Tarawa lay on the operating table Moced was actually questioning on her mechanics.

Moced: So.....in all my experience fighting ship girls i've never seen any like you

Tarawa: I guess when you say it like that i am different...

Moced: Well normal ship girls are full flesh but you are made of metal with human flesh on top and.... instead of cubes your rigging turns into crystal like formations why is that?

She started to piece out the damaged wires in Tarawa's arm.

Tarawa: Ok..i'mma say something here we ship girls and you sirens back then were the same thing same tech 

Moced:{Gasp} Wait your saying we're all related?

Tarawa: Yes...

Moced: {Picks up a saw} Go on

Tarawa: After all Siren tech was banned humanity found a new way to create us we're basically androids with sentience robotic organisms living metal endoskeletons under living tissue as a part of a project called "Operation Terminator" it was designed as a plan to produce techno organic spec ops soldiers to help fill out the ranks in Militaries across the world started in late 1970s first generations called "G Bots" were produces in medium numbers me being included in the small numbers made for the navy

Moced: So why did they give you a conscience? 

 Tarawa: tests started borked using minimum A.I control increadibliy dumber than italian soldiers in WW2 so to make that they can perform motor functions gave them sentience along with personalities. 

Moced: Aahhh i see....

Tarawa: As the years dragged on a new replacement was need so "Operation Corona Plague" was launched in mid 2021 in the wake of the Corona virus pandemic that was ravaging the world to design soldiers that could replacement the 1st Generation G Bots and since this was done in the middle of a pandemic have soldiers that couldn't be affected by disease or bio chemical warfare first prototypes were successful and mass production was started in 2023 three separate corporations were established to produce different G Bots with different codenames for specific branch of armed forces for the military market these are Heavenly Corp responsible for create elite paratroopers combined with fighter jets called Strikers, Griffin and Kryuger (G&K) whom produce G Bot spec ops soldiers called Tactical Dolls or T-Dolls for short, and Atlantis Nova their the ones who produce modern ship girls officially called Avrus Ocianicas 

Moced: Oh i see...{Grabs a nerve link wire} what does this do? {Pulls it}

Tarawa: GAHAHAgghh jesus christ!!!

Moced: Sorry!!!

Meanwhile outside Texas brought the Iron Blood ships to the prison cells as their ships were locked up in dry dock.

Texas: Alright Jerry keep moving

She led them to a large holding cell having to shunt Scharnhorst in.

Texas: We'll have to wait a while before talks Sardegna also wants to talk on a side switch seems that the alliance is crumbling 

As she shut the door closed Bismarck consolidated on why they even broke off from AL.

Bismarck: Hmmm

Prinz Eugen: Why did you surrender that easily?

Scharnhorst: We could have gone down fighting 

Bismarck: With the fact that what would be achieved if we even won what would have Siren technology have for a future of humanity

Gneissenau: Before our radios were taken i did manage to get a signal out to the others 

Bismarck: Another piece of note is where do the sirens come from.. and what do they want??? We've all asked the same question but no one seems to know the answer

Back on Moced's ship 

Moced: Why do they produce you all as women?

Tarawa: They say its for "The need of easier human-machine interaction appeared." but there has been a increase in male G bot production to incorporate sexuality 

Moced: So... do you every interact with these other G Bots?

Tarawa: Of course even though i'm a museum they still use me for training i remember even being temporary recommissioned to transport a squad of T-Dolls on an unsanctioned mission....um... AR Team i believe  

Reaching with her remaining hand into her pocket she pulled out her phone and showed Moced a picture of Elite T-Dolls 

Moced: interesting characters i assume? 

Tarawa: Absolutely among the elite and the best of friends kind of like during my service with my fleet we've all been through thick and thin i was recommissioned to bring them on a incognito mission to the south given a full restoration to be sea worthy again and so i got my M4 back in my hands for one more job to do

Then Iowa and Wisconsin came in to check up on Tarawa.

{Insert door sliding open noise}

Iowa: Sub my dudes Moced...

Moced: Iowa

Wisconsin: How you feeling Tarawa?

Tarawa: A bit better she's reattaching it while shedding some lore 

Iowa: I always remember that SOP ii looks like Roon 

Tarawa: Yeah instead of being crazy for commanders she's all crazy when in battle 

Moced: So for new ship girls how do they think?

Iowa: {While sitting on a chair backwards} Well as from my experience hears a bit from my POV when me and my sisters were given our upgrades/overhauls some of our parts removed if i remember we were fully conscience during it all and it hurt like fock! 

Wisconsin: It was F upped 

Iowa: Whole limbs were amputated my large intestines was pulled out before my very eyes metal parts were burned into us and the only time were out cold was when half of our brains were cut out and a computer server was placed in it place

Tarawa: Get to the point 

Iowa: Ok sssshhhh... so modern ship girls have this thing called a Neutral Cloud or Digimind so its a A.I system that works as their brains though the Neutral Cloud is mainly used for T-Dolls ours is called the Seanomica Namor so basically the same thing while it serves as our brain it also functions as a central control system and fire control  for our riggings including a build in radar so we can see things without having to look directly at it but it also acts as a hard drive for  transferable to and from a mainframe to protect a Their memories from being lost if they are destroyed during operations if we are destroyed the memory can then just be downloaded into a new body. The only reason that the new ones sleep is just to erase catch 

Moced: So the point is when they die their not dead?

Wisconsin: Well unless the hardware containing the Cloud is destroyed then their truly dead or in our cases since we were among the originals that were left the only reason we were hooked up with Namor's was so that we could use the new weapons of the time basically turning us into cyborgs

Iowa: There's lots more under the skin than we look
