Georgia had taken the stern plate and made full ahead to anywhere she wouldn't be observed.
"Well, thank you for getting me away from those lunatics. Wanted to use me for power armor or something." Enterprise says
"Give me a minute I'm almost away and hidden," Georgia says walking into a hotel lobby
"So, you look familiar. Almost like New Jersey," Enterprise says musing to herself.
"Like I said give me a minute," Georgia responds holding the Stern plate walking into an empty ballroom.
"Wait you can hear me? You looked at me earlier can you see me?" Enterprise asks in shock
The massive ballroom was void of anyone and was barely lit from the light coming in from the windows.
"Of course I can, there's a reason I look like my cousin after all," Georgia says with a smile.
"… Wait what? Your not a Montana class maybe? Then again I've heard they've stopped making battleships. Then Carrier's days are numbered aswell. Especially with those parathings running around." Enterprise says
"The United States won't ever get rid of the navy you know? I mean not even that many parahumans are bullet proof. Even for the ones that are its nothing an anti material rifle can't solve," Georgia says smiling
"Is that what they are calling the cannons now?" Enterprise asks
Georgia does a so-so motion before setting down the stern plate on the ground.
"Right, so not happy with your retirement. Big E do you wanna see if I can get you your hull back?" Georgia asks
"Will I be able to fight? I mean people seem to be able to interact with you," Enterprise says
"I… give me a second I have an Idea," Georgia says
Enterprise watches in wonder as the stern plate suddenly becomes a Blue glowing cube.
"Right you're still here that's a good sign," Georgia says
"What is that supposed to mean?" Enterprise asks
"It should take two," Georgia says pulling out a cube triple-checking to make sure it's a mass-produced one and not one with a personality.
Turns out some of the cargo vessels did have a personality since they were around for so long.
"What are you doing?" Enterprise asks confused
"Think fast!" Georgia shouts
The two blue cubes are suddenly thrusted into Enterprise's chest. Her non-physical body seems to absorb them causing her to glow in a golden light.
"What! What did you just do!?" Enterprise shouts in shock as her rigging appears.
The long flat runway with a yellow CV-6 painted on it is slung across her side like one would wear a messenger bag. With the deck superstructure slinging itself around her other side for counterbalance. To top it all off A massive longbow is formed in her hands.
"I made you like me!" Georgia says with a smile
Enterprise opens her mouth however she cuts herself off when her stomach rumbles.

Meanwhile, at the PRT headquarters, all the lights in the windows suddenly go dark.
"Why is the power off!" Armsmaster shouts
That's when the emergency floodlights turn on before the backup generator kicks on bathing the building in red light.
"Hello everyone this is the director of the PRT ENE. If you are wondering why the power has gone out. That is because the electrical workers Union has black-listed us. On top of that, the city trash workers are no longer picking up our trash. That is the first in a long list of services we are no longer getting. It appears the city no longer wants us here. However, we are here to stay!" Piggot announces over the intercom system
Armsmaster's phone suddenly pings. The message is a few simple words.
"'My office now."
===============
Georgia and Enterprise are currently at Dovetail. It's a restaurant on 6th street just down the road from the USS Constitution Museum.
Georgia is just watching in wonder as Enterprise is putting down several hundreds of dollars worth of food.
"I am so happy I took that thief's wallet. Then again I've got plenty of money anyways," Georgia murmurs
"Right, Enterprise we need to go if we are gonna see great grandma and Cassin," Georgia says
The pair of ship girls even with their rigging away draw some attention then again they do stand out walking around an active port.
"Wow, do you think shes awake?" Enterprise asks
"Iowa was, actually Iowa thought you were dead. So I am willing to bet both her and Cassin are in for a surprise," Georgia says with a smile.
The two climb the gangway onto the destroyer wanting to see Cassin first.
"Enterprise?" The shock is clear in the tone of voice.
Georgia and Enterprise turn around to see a girl with black hair.
"Told you she'd be surprised," Georgia says
"You were part of task force 54, weren't you? How did you recognize me I usually only had task force 16 with me?" Enterprise asks
"The destroyers talked about you after the war. I can't believe you are alive," Cassin says
"She was always too stubborn to die," Georgia says
"Who are you?" Cassin asks
"I am the USS Georgia, the never-built Iowa class with 18inch guns instead of the 16in," Georgia replies.
Suddenly there is a thump in the distance.
"Oh, that girl just passed out," Cassin says
"Who?" Georgia asks
"She's just around the corner. Was she watching us? Usually they people can't see us," Cassin asks
"Actually, they can see me and Enterprise. Speaking of which when the normal humans are gone tonight you are getting an impromptu drydock session," Georgia says
"I found the girl," Enterprise says holding a Sarah Livesy or Tattletale
"Enterprise I think your luck and my Luck combined is too much. I have been wanting to talk to that girl for a while," Georgia says in shock.
