Dock E terminal 12 used to be an ocean liner dock ferrying people from Europe to the United states and back. Some of the great ocean liners had made port in Brockton from the Queen Mary to the SS America and SS United States.
So the facilities there saw a massive update and upgrade. The fact that it was near the slipways was a big factor in choosing it for the Brockton Bay naval museum. The fact that the drydock was just across the narrow was also another big reason for choosing it.
To be honest the most surprising part of the trip back was stopping to see Big Ten, after all in Georgia's original earth big 10 was scrapped because they couldn't risk taking her up the Mississippi river. While on earth Bet they did get her up the river she is just enjoying retirement in Memphis.
"So, what do you think?" Danny asks breaking Georgia from her thoughts
"It is a surprising amount of work for a union to get done. Especially since you are also technically a government contractor now." Georgia admits
"Well we had help." Danny admits
"Really, like an exterior company or cape help?" Georgia asks
"My help!" a voice says
Georgia suddenly sees a massive spot on the radar at point blank range as she whips around summoning her rigging.
"Who are you?" Georgia asks to see a girl who almost looks like she could be Taylors twin.
"I am Brockton bay." The installation says introducing herself.
"Oh, I made an installation? To be honest I wasn't expecting to be able to do that.' Georgia says as her rigging disperses into motes of light.
"Well you did," Bay says
"I just realized Panama also probably became one as well." Georgia says a little worried.
"I have a vice admiral's phone number." Danny says.
"Yeah if you could give me that and I'll give him a call when it's not sunday," Georgia says
"I'll say that your timing is impressive. Enterprise should be arriving tomorrow." Danny says
"Yay another surprise for the Big E then." Georgia says with a smile.
Brockton Bay laughs a bit before looking at Georgia
"You aren't gonna tell Enterprise her daughter is coming?" Bay asks barely suppressing her giggling
"It's gonna be a great reunion." Georgia says with a nod.
==================================
Bunks were being built in the new museum section of the docks.
Though archerfish seemed adamant about needing to sleep in the bottom of a pool.
Clamagore Archerfish's younger sister agreed with the slightly crazy sub.
"I don't understand why you think bunk beds underwater is a good idea. Slightly crazy submarine." Georgia says
The scene in front of her was a freshly blasted hole in the ground filled with water with two floating mattresses atop it.
"Why am I called slightly crazy again?" Archerfish asks
"You used the mark 14 torpedo as a blunt weapon." Georgia says unfazed
"It wasn't gonna detonate anyways. I was told by Balao to try and get a mark 10 whenever I could. The mark 14 might as well have been used as dummy training rounds." Archerfish says with a hand flourish.
"We all know nicked a mk 48 from pearl." Georgia says
"There is no proof of that." Archerfish replies ginning like a cat.
"She did what now?"
Archerfish and Georgia look over to see vice admiral Abraham Avatar.
"Ah, vice admiral… What brings you here?" Georgia asks
"Enterprise and her escorts pull in tomorrow of course I am going to be here for the debrief." Avatar says.
"It took her a while to get here." Georgia remarks
"They had to take Roberts undertow. Her rudder was knocked out and the hull had some nasty damage done to it." Avatar admits
" So what is this i hear about plundering the naval warehouse?" Avatar asks
"I just acquired the necessary supplies the old fashioned way."
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"That… Can you point out the security flaws you saw on base?" Avatar says
"I didn't steal anything." Archerfish insists
"Yes definitely not especially with the-" BOOM Georgia is cut off by an explosion as automatic gunfire is heard in the background.
Then that of course is followed up by several dozens of explosions and low flying aircraft.
"There goes the naval brigade." Georgia mutters
An ear shattering roar is heard in the distance.
"Is that a dragon? Almost sounds like New Jersey's cannons." Archerfish comments shaking with excitement.
"Hey, you should summon Nevada and Prinz Eugen to join!" Archerfish says
=================================
Piggot was drinking something hard. She didn't know the exact name of the Liquor however she needed it Tagg was doing something stupid.
He managed to usurped her control of the local PRT with his own prt forces and planned a joint operation against BB-70 or Georgia.
Her name Georgia Beryl was probably the most open secret she had. Her base at the new historic dock over in the dockyards was a well-established fact.
Luckily her officers were not idiots so they also called out sick. If only the grunts could've seen the threat ratings.
Thought all those poached from the marines were nowhere to be seen.
"Leaked a ward identity." That was what Tagg is planning to bring her in with and force her into the PRT. The fact that she bodied an endbringer and came out no worse for wear meant nothing to the dense idiot. He is worse than Pierre Sprey, worse than Captain James M. Shoemaker, worse than Douglas Haig. He would cause the death of the PRT if he had the power he wants.
The radio barks to life causing Emily to turn the volume up.
=============================================
5 armored vehicles were driving down the road
2 Gage Rangers, 2 lancio Bearcats and 1 Bradley Fighting vehicle.
The air around the bay had been declared a no fly zone. As helicopters dotted the skies and a few phone calls were made to some friends for some SAMs.
Did he burn a few contacts, sure, and all he seemed to do while calling the navy was piss them off. Well, that one secretary laughed for a full minute before hanging up on him.
"Sir we are almost there.. Are you sure you wanna do this?" A man wearing a prt combat uniform and gas mask asks.
"Absolutely, we need to show them that they can't just keep getting away with it." Tagg says
"Getting away with what sir?"
"She leaked a ward's identity." Tagg says
"Why is the youth guard not involved where the protectorate is?"
The transport rocks as they enter the roads by the docks.
"Armsmaster will be meeting us there. Thomas Calvert called in a few friends and the Wild Geese have been hired for this." Tagg says
"Wild Geese? The French group?"
The armored transport continues to shake as it rolls over potholes.
"I feel like the protectorate should've been able to field more people for this sir."
"It's an off the book operation. It was hard to get what we got for this mission." Tagg admits
"…"
Tagg looks over to see the driver door open and the driver not there.
The convoy comes to a stop as Tagg takes over driving the bearcat.
====================================
Fletcher was getting a tour of the new base by Brockton Bay herself.
Georgia finding her was a surprise considering she was stuck to an Oerlikon 20mm cannon which had made its way aboard Kidd in February of 1972.
The destroyer seemed extremely happy to have a pirate for a sister.
The installation girl freezes for a second before running off towards the city.
"Fletcher, come on!" Bay shouts making amazing speed for an installation.
The redheaded destroyer looks on in amazement before chasing after Brockton Bay.
