"Sophia, you certainly seem calm considering the mess that you caused." Miss Militia says
"I have Youth Guard stopping me from getting anything lengthy. I'll be out of this cell in a month's time and halfway across the country in another branch free to do what I like." Sophia says with a smile.
"This is serious, if this suit on the PRT ends up with charges against you, you very well could end up in the BirdCage." Milita says
"Yeah like that little weakling is gonna convince anyone of anything. No one cares about her!" Sophia says smugly.
"Ma'am are you sure you should be talking to Shadow Stalker? You are going to be on the bench as a witness tomorrow." A guard asks.
"To be honest I wish I hadn't. I just wanted to see if she had any remorse at all. If she knew she might have just sunk the PRT." Militia says
"So, would you agree we were in the wrong here?" The guard asks
"I don't know what to think anymore, I just know the wards program isn't what it used to be. It is no wonder Mouse Protector left." Militia says
"Glory, Glory, what a hell of a way to die. Glory, Glory, what a hell of a way to die."
Miss Militia picks up her phone.
"Hey York what's going on?"
There is a pause while Hana looks at the guard.
"Yeah? You sure?"
Miss Militia covers the input on her phone and looks up at the guard. "I have to go, make sure she gets her dinner in an hour. No desert." Miss Militia says putting the phone back at her face.
"Sure thing ma'am." The Guard
Hana walks out of the holding area.
The Guard reaches up into his shirt picket and an audible mechanical click rings through the room.
"Saul, you are so lucky I owe you this favor." The Guard mutters before leaving to grab the warden.

At the Boardwalk.
"Hana, welcome!" New York
"Hey York, what is the reason for the call?" Hana asks
"I wanted you to meet my sister Tex here before she headed back to Texas with David." New York says
"Hello… Are you two twins?" Hana asks
"No, of course not. I'm the older sister." New York says
"I came out first." Texas corrects.
"I was conceived first." New York says back
"Yes, however you took your sweet time to finish." Texas says with a smirk.
York groans in frustration looking at her sister.
"Should've called us the Texas class." Texas says
"At least I don't get stuck in sandbanks. Come on Texas." New York
"Because the planet Venus is a weather balloon." Texas says
"3 inch gun atop an anti aircraft tower. Seems like the perfect anti air system." New York says
Texas flinches and looks at New York betrayed. " That was too far, little sis."
Hana looks at the two girls in realization.

"I should've put it together much sooner, Texas and New York. Of the New York class?" Hana asks, not fully certain if she was correct.
"*cough* Texas class *cough*" Texas
"For an immigrant you certainly know alot about naval history if you know about us old ladies." New York says with a smile.
"She probably has to deal with all of the trouble Georgia is stirring up." Texas comments.
"True, I mean who would manage to find a lawyer like that in the middle of the desert and fly him across the country. Let alone taking this case." New York
"Georgia would. It's a good thing too since Lewis is mainly a contract lawyer." Texas says
"Georgia, wait are you telling me BB-70 is the biggest Naval History nerd on the continent?" Hana asks
"Ah, so you follow her YouTube channel?" Texas asks
Georgia had become this world's drachinifel because in all honesty, the world needed the engineer more than it needed the historian.
================================
Saul was in his makeshift office at the Ship Museum.
"Did you manage to find any lawyers who would be happy to help, because as much as I would love to keep you as a retainer Jimmy, I don't honestly know if you are able to handle the amount of crap I am going to have coming my way. The EPA, The Nuclear regulatory commission, OSHA, The VA, Transportation, and probably the Department of education." Georgia says listing off the government agencies she is expecting to give her trouble.
"The PRT and honestly Congress might get involved considering what you did to the angel's face." Sarah adds
"The PRT is going to end up gutted in a while, did Taylor and Amy take care of the evidence?" Georgia asks
"Amy is still upset about having to attach that camera to the cockroach; however, Taylor managed to find the base. It was exactly where you said it would be." Sarah says
"Great, now we need to figure out how to get the footage of Thomas Calvert as coil into evidence," Saul say
"I mean, why use it as evidence? The court is a great idea, however what about the court of Public Opinion?" Georgia asks
"PHO?" Sarah asks
"I owe Dragon a favor." Georgia clarifies
"Dragon runs PHO, wait you owe her a favor, not the other way around?" Sarah asks
"It'll work out in the end." Georgia offers
"The amount of confidence you have in that statement is frankly scary." Saul offers.
Georgia's phone rings.
"Yello?"
"Enterprise, sure what's up?"
"Yes, it's the opposite of down. I am aware of that. I mean what is happening, how could I be of assistance?" Georgia asks
"... Sure, I'll be right there," Georgia says putting away the smartphone.
"Flagship duty calls, I have to go see something Enterprise found, and Avatar wants to talk with me," Georgia states.
