Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

"Hey mom, wake up." Andromeda said.

Andromeda poked her sleeping mother repeatedly on the cheek trying to wake the fox woman up, Yamato only groaned softly as a response to the continuously poking. It has been 2 weeks since Andromeda passed her test before joining the Azur Lane Space Force.

The mother, and the daughter were moved to a different dorm where the bedroom has two beds for each of them. Andromeda sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night to hear her mother snoring so loudly like AUGHHHH…! AUGGGGHHHHHH…! Forcing Andromeda to sleep on the couch.

"Mom, I saw dad shirtless outside." Andromeda whispered.

Yamato immediately wakes up, and runs towards the window to look for the shirtless Admiral Justin, but she couldn't find him after a few minutes of looking around. The fox woman turned around to find her daughter was on the floor laughing very hard.

"My fucking God. I can't believe that worked! Hahahaha!! Hey Analyzer, did you record it?" Andromeda asked.

"{Yes.)" Analyzer replied.

"Analyzer, delete that video right now." Yamato demanded.

"{Nope, Andromeda run!}" Analyzer said before running away as well Andromeda too.

"Come back here you shits!!" Yamato yelled.

"Here you go ladies. Your first mission as a family." Justin said.

Andromeda grabbed the files from Admiral Justin's hand as she passed the two other copies of the file to her mother, and aunt as well. The three began to read the details of their mission.

===============

Mission name: [None]

Mission type: Investigation

Background: The mission is simple: investigate a planet 4,000 thousand light years from Krieg because the communication of the entire planet suddenly went offline 15 hours ago. There is no information about the reasoning for the communication systems going offline, but theories are saying that a siren fleet managed to sneak in the planet without their presence getting noticed, and probably have infected the population of that planet with their (currently) incurable siren-made virus.

===============

"Siren-made virus? What's that hubby?" Yamato asked.

"Airborne or contact type virus that shuts down the human mind, turning the host of the virus into a zombie that will obey any orders from a high ranking human-like siren." Shinano replied.

"Like what Shinano said, the virus is very deadly to humans. However, it has little effect on shipgirls, but the virus still can infect them so be very careful." Justin said.

"How can we tell if someone is infected?" Andromeda asked.

"If you see a human with purple or red eyes, and their veins are glowing with the mentioned colors. They are infected with the virus." Justin said.

"If we encountered an infected individual, how can we deal with them?" Yamato asked.

"You must destroy their brains to stop them, I recommend bringing some long ranged weapons, and full body armour to lessen your chance of getting infected." Justin said.

"Admiral, if the planet has already fallen, are we allowed to commence exterminatus?" Shinano asked.

"If there's no other way." Justin responded.

"What's exterminatus?" Andromeda said.

"Destroying an entire planet with different methods such as orbital bombardment or a specialized world destroying torpedo." Yamato said. "Our WMGs aren't strong enough to deal such damage on a planet."

"Your mother is right, Andromeda. The UN and the Azur Lane Space Force Organization control a million of worlds, but some worlds need to be destroyed because of many things like a whole world filled with infected people." Justin said. "There's only a few people who can issue the order of exterminatus, and one of them is me."

[Location: Planet Ursus, 4,000 light years from Krieg, Azur Lane Space Force Naval Base]

[Time: 1500 Hours]

[Weather: Dark clouds & light rain shower]

Yamato walked down from her ship while wearing full body armor that is similar to the latest Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor (or simply Mjolnir) from the Halo franchise, Artificial Intelligence controlled robots were also walking down from the space battleship while wearing the same armor as Yamato.

The robots were armed with the latest electromagnetic powered assault rifles, which are very deadly. Just getting one hit from the assault rifle can tear through 20 inches of reinforced concrete with ease, and the robots are very agile like a human. Analyzer decided to stay inside the space battleship.

"{Man, this place looked like shit.}" Yamato said, looking at the destroyed state of the base.

"{Just few hours ago, this base looked cleaned, and well maintained.}" Shinano said.

"{Yup.}" Andromeda said.

The three shipgirls headed to the center of the base with their own robot bodyguards, they were extremely cautiously where they are walking since the base looked like it was trashed all over the place, and they don't know what will just jump in front of them, and attack them even if the robots managed to prevent that from happening.

"{Hey aunt Shin, can I ask you a question?}" Andromeda said.

"{What is it?}" Shinano replied.

"{What was mother like before?}" Andromeda asked.

"{When your mother was still the Grand Empress of the Sakura Empire, she was ruthless, strict, and merciless. Although, she likes to read quite the erotic books from time to time, and she always hides them under her bed which was discovered multiple times by me. Hehehehe." Shinano said.

"{Oh my god, I can't believe you still remember that! I thought you forgot about it!}" Yamato said, turning to Shinano. "[I don't know what Shinano is talking about, but I will go with the flow.]"

"{No way, really? Holy shit, mom. You were a pervert!}" Andromeda said.

"{Shut up! The conversation about this topic ends here, don't bring it up especially if the Admiral is near!}" Yamato said.

"{Sure~ I promise I won't tell~}" Shinano said.

"{Good! Let's go to the Admiral's office since a lot of information might be located there.}" Yamato said.
