#*gobbledygook and busting ones chops mean nonsense and giving a scolding respectively

"Oohhh~ Were you a farmer back then? I've heard farming techniques and culture was different, back in the day. Grandfather told me some stories from life before the Second World War. I uh... my relatives had some land, so I know the basics of crops and such."

By relatives she means her family... but she's still very conflicted about acknowledging any sort of relationship to them, however distant and strained... but~

She wouldn't let her own grievances get in the way of some pleasant conversation.

"Mn! I know. When I was a kid I took a trip to the states, actually! In hindsight it was a very dangerous affair, but there was a different kind of feeling compared to travelling by plane..."

"[Amélie. Calm down. And listen.]"

Reika's voice deepened a little, though she did not react much to the younger Admiral's outburst, calmly staring back at her, snapping her fingers to get her attention.

"[Oh we do have a good idea of what we're talking about. We've been going at this war for years after all. Pearl Harbour is in the middle of no man's land, sea-wise. Both Japanese and American Ships have a hard time coming here, you know?]"

She wasn't... mad... but there was a degree of severity to her voice... more like a mother admonishing a clueless kid-

"[That means if anything happens, no one will come to your aid on such short notice... do you understand now why it's important to keep communications open?

Where is your radio-operating room? And the RADAR? Do you even have Coastal-Defense guns installed? Have you ever considered that a whole Abyssal fleet could turn up and attack you right now and you wouldn't even notice them coming?]

[Answer me. Clearly.]"

"That's really dangerous, good thing you're OK." Iowa said, examining Nozomi up and down. "Then again, you are a Shipgirl, so why would it be weird for you to travel by sea?" She asked, her head tilting a little.

Though most people would have a strong reaction to a girl screaming and shouting not 50 meters away, Iowa still remembers the days of the European War, and the early days of fighting the Abyssal Fleet, freakouts rarely if ever phased her.

"But yeah, traveling by boat is the most incredible feeling! I used to sail the USS Iowa, the SHIP, and she was the most beautiful vessel in all the Pacific! We put the hurt on those Ja- ahem, OK, that aside." She awkwardly glanced right into Nozomi's eyes, realizing too late that she is, indeed, STILL Japanese, and it would be very disrespectful to celebrate the vessel's actions in the Pacific Theater.

"I-I DON'T KNOW STOP- Je ne peux pas penser Je ne me souviens pas Laissez-moi tranquille!" Amélie shouted before she stood up, and began to run off.

She heard Pearl Harbor was safe, she was here for years, and it was safe, or at least she was told it was safe, she's paying employees to figure it out she's too busy in her office doing... things.

She had to run away, get away from these INTRUDERS trying to ruin everything she built, her safe haven, just to get at her wallet, with all of those lies.

Just more greedy Admirals, all of them, every single one.

She ran into her office and slammed the door shut, locking it behind her, and even going as far as to put the room on lockdown, sending heavy doors slamming down with impunity to block entry into her office that was unwelcome.

"Maybe we should make sure the Admiral is OK with all the *gobbledygook she was yelling, sounds like your friend was really *busting her chops."
