Azur Lane: The King of the Ocean

Part - 18 A Choice

Bismarck continued to comply with the guards as they escorted her down numerous flights of stairs.

Each layer of deck they passed, the deeper into the beast they got,

The hallways were dark gray, with pipes everywhere, like the ship had large steel organs, the deeper she got.

As much as Bismarck wanted to break free, she knew that this crew was likely extremely confused and concerned with the events going on,

Perhaps a peaceful solution could be found?

It was strange feeling so calm, even when your captors had guns, and were dragging you to the ship's brig, it was almost like something was calming her down.

"In how long?" The captain asked,

"Well, we've sent out numerous messages detailing the state of the ship, but no return messages have arrived."

"Are those aliens intercepting or blocking our communications?" The Captain said

"Unknown sir." The XO responded.

"What about those loud bangs earlier? Was that the doing aliens?" The Captain replied.

"Uh, erm....I wouldn't say the doing of aliens sir, but it has been resolved." The XO said.

"If aliens didn't do it, then who did? I don't think any live firing exercises had been planned." The Captain said.

"Uhm.....
