ASMI 5th Fleet, North Sea

Sea Monster Territory

--------------------------

A fleet of state-of-the-art dreadnoughts sail the seas. They fly the flag of the ASMI (Anti Sea Monster Initiative), and the flag of the Republic of Lesospian. With newly purchased Morostian 300mm quick-firing naval guns as primaries and new 105mm guns as secondaries, they sail confidently into the near-infinite blue. Soon, a lookout on the lead ship spots what is usually seen as a bad omen, or, possibly, the biggest payday of their entire lives. "Admiral! Storm up ahead!" said the lookout. "It's approaching us!" he continued. The mute Admiral finished his lunch, exited the bridge, and headed to a nearby crewman. 

He handed the note to him and the crewman followed the instructions on it, and the message. The crewman turned on his manacomm and contacted the lookout, reading the words written on the note. "Prepare for unknown contact." The lookout responded affirmatively. The fleet sailed on into the storm. 

What they did not expect however, was that the storm was not caused by a sea monster. The storm had actually been triggered by New World Union affiliated weather manipulation machines. And so, 5 minutes later, the storm dissipated. It vanished completely, as if it had never been there. All available eyes aboard the fleet turned their focus towards this phenomenon, with several islands seeming to manifest where the storm once was, with an eerie blue light emanating from somewhere in the distance. 

These islands grew in size and smaller in distance from the fleet. As they drew within a few miles, it was clear that they were a naval strike group. More specifically, they appeared to be New World Union SSTB ships, sailing straight for the ASMI fleet. There was easily 40 of them in the strike group, and they headed straight for the ASMI fleet.

No sooner than all of the ships coming into view, everyone, even the battle-hardened mute admiral, had their eyes seeming to nearly exit their heads, with very audible shocked chatter emanating from the ships. Some froze in their tracks. Others pinched themselves to hopefully reassure themselves that they were dreaming. A few ships called for all hands on battlestations. 

One of the SSTB group's lead destroyers had their speaker flare to life, and a voice began speaking from it. "This is the NWUNS Harpoon requesting identification, affiliation, and mission, if possible, since we would like to know why you are approaching our borders."

The manacomm was activated, and confused chatter could be heard over it. This was then shortly followed by a voice, who promptly spoke. "This is ASMI Aleph fleet, associated with the Anti-Sea Monster Initiative and our home country of the Republic of Lesospian. We are here to hunt sea monsters, and we apologize for any border intrusions we may have committed."

A response came from the NWUNS Harpoon. "We are very sure you are all confused right now, and we would like to request diplomatic contact with your home nation." "Request granted. We will send word to Zaion of your arrival." came the response from the ASMI fleet's second in command, a Junior Admiral.
