(Ok......this all happens....while the main Season 3 is happening.....which is why it's placed so weirdly-I'm gonna hate myself so much for this-um.....since I introduced multiple different tertiary characters, I'm gonna pull an Andrew Brenner and write stories crossing over some tertiary characters I've already introduced -Strider Squadron, Montana's Cousins, the Engines of Sodor, etc.- with characters and universes that I haven't touched on yet, so this is basically that, enjoy it.....or laugh at me for how old or cringey the franchises I chose are.)

General POV

The camera opens to a shot of the base, the camera then descended onto a little blue tank engine. He had six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and a short stumpy dome.

(Just imagine he has his face)

Percy: Again? *sigh* Alright, I'll do it.

Radio: Tank Engine 1, be advised, Big Engine 4 is coming in.

Thomas: Roger, going to the platforms.

Radio: Tank Engine 6, we need you to take a small goods train to island 3.

Percy: But....what about the yards?

Radio: Most of the traffic has already passed through, the next train you'll need to shunt is the express but after that there won't be another train for 8 hours.

Percy: Ok, I'll depart in a few minutes.

(Now you may be wondering.....why did the author include Thomas the Tank Engine to a series about warships? Simple, the base uses railways-or railroads if you're American-to move staff, munitions, fuel, and spare parts around.
