"Did she have anything to say?" Captain lineman asked.

"Well, all she kept doing was mentioning the name of this place called "Iron Blood." XO Oels said.

"Iron blood? Never heard of it. You sure she's not delusional...

She looked conscious enough to not delusional

...Or lying?" Captain Lindenann said,


Even the most basic and unskilled rookies of spies could lie through their teeth with a straight face.

The XO gritted his teeth a little, contemplating,

"But our oil supply..." Oels said.


"What about it?" Captain Lindemann said, just a meter in front of him,


"She mentioned that she knows the location of nearby friendly ports, and we're running terribly low on oil, if we don't make it to a port, we will be dead in the water." The XO said.

Captain Lindemann put his hand under his chin and over his mouth, contemplating his options,

If this was a lie, then Germany would lose the pride of its Navy,

If this was real, then they could repair and refuel, which were badly needed as at this very moment,

liter after liter of precious oil was pouring into the Atlantic, and soon, there would be no more.

Captain Lindemann sighed and grunted with annoyance, balling up his fist.

There was no other choice,

"Send her up here!" He shouted to the XO.

"Yes si-" the XO said,

"DO IT NOW! I WANT THIS OVER WITH!" He said.


The XO ran out of the bridge area like a dog being berated by its master,

The giant steel door slammed shut.

Captain Lindemann sat down, facepalming.

"Mein Gott, What has this come to.....?" He said to himself, sighing harshly

Daniel felt a raindrop on his forehead,

He looked up,


As expected of the weather in the Atlantic, constant rain and miserable fog.

"Hey, uh, we should go inside" Daniel said.


The girl he was on the deck with was still extremely interested in his red "Wisdom cube" that he had in his pocket

Why was every single girl he found out here so interested in that?

Daniel got up and started walking for the superstructure as the raindrops started coming down faster.


"H-hey! Where are you going?" The girl asked, presumably still cautious about his intentions.

"To get out of the rain? What?" Daniel said.

The girl blinked, almost like she didn't know that it was raining, even though it was starting to come down even more.
