“So… who was that random crazy person with a machine gun you killed?” Enterprise asks

 

Georgia shrugs.

 

“I’ve got no clue. I mean it shou-“ Georgia is cut off as her crew starts shouting.

 

“Boarders? What the hell? How do I have boarders?” Georgia asks in shock.

 

“Hey!”

 

“Some Sort of crystal thing appeared on the bridge and released them? Well, deal with it according to international law then. They are pirates.” Georgia says 

 

A second later muffled gunshots can be heard coming from where Georgia is standing.

 

“What is going on?” Enterprise asks concerned.

 

“My crew is just dealing with borders and throwing some sort of life raft thing overboard. It tried to lodge itself into my bridge. Could you believe it?” Georgia asks 

=================

 

Meanwhile in Washington DC. 

 

“So, a new parahuman has appeared.” 

 

The man looks up from the paperwork with the lack of sleep clearly getting to him.

 

“Could someone please tell me why ONI is watching a parahuman? I can not afford another fight with the PRT over budget again.” 

 

“She’s a ship-themed cape. Rumor has it she has repaired the dry dock in Brockton bay.” 

 

“We have another operational dry dock on the east coast besides kings bay and Norfolk? Someone contact her about using the facilities. Maybe we won’t have to sail CVN-65 to Pearl for her dry docking.” The man says hopeful. 

 

“Sir?”

 

“Yes, go ahead.” 

 

“We believe that same cape is able to repair and arm naval ships.” 

 

“She can arm naval ships alright. I got a call from Iowa’s curator. The ship’s magazine was full of powder and shells. The museum is closed while we are removing the volatile equipment.”

 

“She seems to dislike the PRT as well and has actually worked with the guild just to avoid them. If it wasn’t for the fact she went in for power testing then we wouldn’t know if she was friend or foe. Though it is believed she sandbagged massively on the power testing.”

 

“You said Brockton right?”

 

“Yes sir.”

 

“I know Danny Hebert, the guy might as well run the docks at Brockton. He’s been an old family friend since I knew his father. I’ll make a phone call and see about heading up myself.”

 

“If you're certain Vice-Admiral…” 

 

==================

 

 

Danny was in panic mode. If it could be called that, somehow Georgia had gotten the attention of the office of naval intelligence.

 

“Are you doing alright Danny? I mean I know finally getting the cape we have been waiting for is a lot, however, this is a bit much,” Kurt says 

 

“I got a call from one of my dad’s war buddies,” Danny says 

 

“Really? I mean, are they a former dock worker wanting to come back now that we’ve got work?” Kurt asks 

 

“No, it is his old Captain. Who is currently an Admiral in the navy,” Danny says 

 

“Yeah, that would give you a reason to panic…” Kurt says 

 

 

“Oh, it gets better. He’s coming to visit. He wants to meet Georgia and have some of his engineers inspect the dry dock. He is hoping to be able to use us to dry dock some ships.” Danny says 

 

“We might actually see repair work? Don’t they have Norfolk?” Kurt asks

 

“He said Norfolk is actually overrun especially since a number ships are still in need of repair after the battle with Board Game,” Danny says 

 

Unnoticed by Danny and Kurt, Georgia had arrived with Enterprise right behind her.

 

“Board game? Who is that?” Georgia asks 

 

The two men jump slightly not expecting the other two to be so quiet. 

 

“Board game was a cape who is able to control things from board games. Kinda lame I know however one night he decided to sneak into the mothball fleet and play Battleship. He made off with about half the mothball fleet. The navy chased him down fighting against a guy who can control ships and have them coordinate better than most veteran crews made it a difficult fight. Navy won in the end, yet they only managed to recover about a ⅓ of the stolen ships,” Danny says 

 

Enterprise is clenching her fist and Georgia looks horrified. 

 

“Is he dead?” Enterprise asks 

 

Danny nods, feeling genuine oppression from the woman in front of him.

 

“Hello, I am Kurt. What’s your name?” Kurt asks, trying to break the building tension.

 

“Enterprise,” She responds slowly, calming down.

 

“Enterprise? Like the ship?” Kurt asks

 

“Yes. Just like the ship.” Georgia says before Enterprise could say much more.

 

Kurt and Danny look over at Georgia. 

 

The ship girl in question responds with a shrug.
