Chapter 1: He's an Android!?

[I don't have any idea so... Here.]

Reader's POV.

Taking a boat to the base, Elyse have suppled ourselves with a crate of Biocomponents, and Thirium 310 bags or simply blue bloods, that me and Elyse will need. Just in case some incident happens. I was also equipped with a Glock 19M, by Mason, for self defense.

Human Driver: So... you two are going to the Azur Lane Main Base?

Nathan: Yes.

Elyse: Correct.

Human Navigator: Well... Just be careful in there... They're... Well, rather not in a mood for an another Commander.

Nathan: Do not worry, Mister. Me and Elyse are identifiable by our uniform.

Human Navigator: Wha-? *Noticed our clothes* Oh. You two are Androids... My bad. Still, just be careful, they'll be confused why did they send a Prototype Android as a Temporally Commander for the Azur Lane. And an Overseer Android. Weird Combination...

Elyse: My role is to Oversee the Shipgirl's life and the Android Commander.

Nathan: My role is to be a temporally Commander for them, until a suitable Commander is found.

Human Navigator: Ok? Well, name's Leo Manfred. You two?

Nathan: Nathan. I'm a Prototype Android made in Cyberlife and Azur Lane R&D.

Elyse: It's Elyse. Like I said, my role is to oversee the Shipgirls and the Android..

Leo: Right... Well, be ready...


At the Azur Lane Base...

*RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!*

Prince of Wales picked up the phone and...

Wales: Hello, Azur Lane Base.

???: Prince of Wales? I expect Yorktown or Yamato to pick up, but, well... I've something to tell you.

She could only sighed.

Wales: Is it an another Commander, Mason? We don't-

Mason: I know. But, he's not a human.

She got confused, and then...

Wales: Is... IS HE A-

Mason: Calm down... and no. He's not a SIREN...

Wales: Then... who is he?

Mason: Let's just say... a Surprise from both the Azur Lane R&D and Cyberlife.

Wale's Mind: Cyberlife...? I only heard about them a few times...

Wales: Cyberlife...? Anyways... What's interesting about... him?

Mason: Why don't you go and check, with Yorktown and the others?

Wales: *Sighs* Alright. But I swear, Mason. If it's the same perverted bastard again, we'll leave the Azur Lane for good.

Mason: I swear it on my entire life. Just give him a visit... But he's not alone. Good luck.

She ended the call, and got Yorktown, Bismarck (Biscuit by some), and Yamato.

Yorktown: What is it, Wales?

Bismarck: I hope they're sending a good Commander. I'm getting tired of them...

Wales: I've got a interesting call from Admiral Mason.

Yamato: Mason? *sighs* I wonder if he's going to get us a list of Commanders...

Yorktown: We have, Yamato. Just none of them suited to be Commanders.

Bismarck: Let's hope he's a good one.

They decided to go to the Docks, London got her car for them to go into. While they're in the car, they spotted the small ship with two standing, ready to disembark at the docks, with bags.

After a while... 


Reader's POV...

With the boat stopped, we took our stuff and got onto the docks, the scenery looks impressive, but, I continued, as it's interrupting my mission... 

Elyse: *To Nathan's Mind* I detected voices.

Nathan: *To Elyse's Mind* Understood.

We decided to wait here... For an approximately 15 minutes...

Leo: Hey, I don't think they're... Oh nevermind...

I noticed four woman with different clothings and factions that Mason and the others told me. I scanned their identity.

Name: USS Yorktown.
Role: Aircraft Carrier.
Rank: Leader of Eagle Union.
Status: Alive.

Name: KMS Bismarck.
Role: Battleship.
Rank: Leader of Ironblood.
Status: Alive.

Name: HMS Prince of Wales.
Role: Battleship.
Rank: Royal Navy's Guardian.
Status: Alive.

Name: IJN Yamato.
Role: Capital Battleship.
Rank: Guardian of Sakura Empire.
Status: Alive.

[Message from Admiral Driscoll "Remember the Mission, Nathan."]

Wales: It's strange for you to wear that, although, are you the Commander?

Nathan: Temporally. But yes, Miss Prince of Wales.

I noticed that they were surprised to know Prince of Wale's name. 

Wales: How... How did you know me!?

Nathan: Simple. I scanned for your identity, Miss Wales.

Wales: I... I see...?

Bismarck: Then, tell us who are you, first. *Noticed Elyse* And her, of course.

Nathan: My name is Nathan. I'm an Android made by Cyberlife and Azur Lane's R&D, model Commander or CO700, serial 574 638 485. I'm their first Prototype Android Commander.

I then saw their jaws dropped... Did I spoke something bad?

Wales: You're a Machine!?

Nathan: Yes.

I deactivated my skin into my android skin. I heard two gasps, mostly out of shock. Elyse did the same of course. We then turn our skin back on, I hope they understand.

Bismarck: Impossible... Not even my faction could make a Machine like this!

Yorktown: That's... unexpected...

Yamato: It appears, Nathan is considered as our last saving grace, according to Shinano...

Wales: What is it?

Yamato: She saids, "I've a dream... But, instead of a human Commander, they're sending an Android Commander, due to the lack of professional Commanders."

Bismarck: So, we're looking at the... Prototype Android...?

Yorktown: Looks like we have two instead... And what's your name, miss?

Elyse: My name is Elyse, Overseer or OS800, serial 685 934 514. My role is to oversee the Shipgirls and the Android Commander, Nathan. Unlike him, I was a gift for Admiral Mason by Cyberlife. I hope our arrival is acceptable, miss Yorktown.

Yorktown: I see... That's going to be interesting, to say the least...

Bismarck: Ja...

Yamato: It might be. But I've heard from the Admiral Takuya, that he's hopeful of Nathan...

Wales: I hope he's right... There has been a spilt about having an Android Commander, in the Council...

Elyse: I've noticed. On one side who's against this is the Royal Navy and the Ironblood, who believed that the Android, Nathan, is too dangerous to use as the Role of a Commander, better to be suited as a Ship. While the others, the Eagle Union and the Sakura Empire, who's believed that Nathan, is a acceptable risk and must be the First Android commander, due to the current Leadership of the Azur Lane.

Both Yorktown and Yamato closed their eyes and nodded. In their thought, knowing the situation is dire for the Admirals, and decisions are tough to make, but if Nathan is their last hope, with Elyse overseeing both Nathan and them then maybe there's a chance. Though Bismarck and Wales thought the same, they're unsure if he's trustworthy, even with Elyse watching both them and Nathan. To them, Nathan and Elyse might be a security threat, if the SIRENs managed to hack into any one of them or both.

Wales: Either way. I hope you'll be helpful to us. Although... Nathan?

I was checking the base's budget that the Last Commander has, I noticed that he used it for his personnel luxuries and not on the shipgirls, which is concerning. I've reallocated the budget to restore their normal life, including the cafeteria, and increased the budget percentage for their basic needs. I've added Android Cooks, so, a bit enough for upgrades for our pistols and for  modification, just in case.

Yorktown: Why did he stopped?

Elyse: He's reallocating the budget.

I've sent the mail. A Reply from Admiral Mason.

[Keep it up, Nathan. Remember, to keep the small amount for needed upgrades.]

Mason: Trusted. [^]
Software Instability: Very Low. [^]

I returned, and talked to them.

Nathan: Forgive me, consider your lunch to be delayed.

Bismarck: Huh? Why?

Nathan: I've already reallocated the base's budget. I've also already connected to your base's data, and made changes. It was rather concerning, to see most of you are have to deal with gruel.

Yorktown: You worked fast...

Wales: Thank you at least...

Yorktown: Neutral [^]
Prince of Wales: Cautious. [^]

We continued walking.

Bismarck: Do you always do like that, to work?

Nathan: Yes, but, I was programmed and designed to complete tasks, such as these. It is mine and Elyse's sole existence.

Elyse nodded. But, They are confused with Yorktown, looked concerned.

Yorktown: But... Is that fair to you and Elyse, Nathan?

Bismarck: Don't you and Elyse want to live for something else?

Nathan: That's not what we're created for. We're here to protect you, your children and their children. If I have to disappear or be scraped in order to complete my objectives, then so be it.

Elyse: We're expendables, after all. We're simply just machines.

Yorktown: ...

Wales: I see...

Yamato: I respect your loyalty, but... It's a bit blind.

Bismarck: That's very brave of you two... Foolish, but brave.

Yorktown: Neutral [v]
Yamato: Neutral [^]
Bismarck: Cautious > Neutral. [^^]

We continued walking to the base, as we got out of the docks. While we were walking to the office, I noticed some of them, showed a bit of hostility to me. Maybe, they've mistaken me as a human, perhaps? But, I've noticed many others, looked at me with interest, they must've know that I'm an android, wondering if we'll be their last hope.

After a while, they've noticed that their lunch is delayed... Which after a while, they've noticed that their meals, was now freshly cooked meals instead of their usual gruel. I've noticed their mouths is... watering? Whoever used to be the Commander, might be a skilled liar. I've send a report to Mason.

[I've got the report. Find more evidence and we'll put the son of a bitch in prison, sooner than later.]

After that's finished... I've noticed a maid came to me. I don't get who she is, but I decided to identify her.

Name: HMS Belfast.
Role: Royal Navy's Specialist.
Rank: Leader of Royal Maid Corp.
Status: Alive.

Belfast: It appears, you're quite interesting for an Android, Master.

Belfast: Neutral [^]

I tilted my head, confused.

Nathan: I'm certain I don't need a maid, I'm an Android after all.

She look shocked that I said that I don't need a maid.

Belfast: I see... Well, should the case a suitable Commander, were to be found and sent to here. What will happen to you?

Nathan: I'll be sent back to the Admiralty and most likely be deactivated... Until the same thing happens again, I'll be already scrapped should I be outdated.

Only silence...

Belfast: Then... what about your overseer?

Elyse: I'll likely be returned as an Overseer on other Commanders, for Admiral Mason. For now, please, finish your food.

We waited for them, after a while. They decided to talk with us, to my confusion a total of 470 Ships... That many...?

Software Instability: Very Low. [^]

Yorktown: So... do you need anything? Like food or water?

Nathan: We don't need food or water. We just need Thirium 310 to keep ourselves operational.

They're confused, with the name.

Nathan: It'll be simply Blue Blood, that keep us operational. If we lose too much of it, we'll be deactivated, until the damage is restored or our memories will be transferred to an another replacement, we need to take them orally.

Elyse: In short, we'll bleed out and die like a human, though, our parts can be repairable or replaceable. Most of them, but our lack of vital components will lead to me or Nathan's shutdown or death and our head aren't replaceable.

I heard whispering, from all of them. All of them seems concerned about our lack of emotions and our lack of fear of death.

Royal Navy Shipgirl 1: Why aren't you afraid to talk about... death?

I identified her and it seems she's Illustrious of the Royal Navy.

Nathan: Simple. Me and Elyse are Androids, making us perfect expendables.

We deactivate our skin again, for the sake of understanding to them. I've heard gasps, shocked emotion and wide eyes from them. They've never seen an android?

Nathan: You've... Never seen an Android like us?

Eagle Union Shipgirl 1: It almost like if you're clones for some villains! But, since you're here with good intentions, I'll allow two of you staying here!

They seems to be more lively, looks like it our arrival and reveal...

Shipgirls Opinion: Skeptical > Neutral. [^^^]
Reason: Honesty of two Android.

Elyse: We'll take a few questions. Don't expect us to have a lot of time, our Admiral needs our work finished for them.
