Iris: You changed? Why

Cardinal: that uniform is uncomfortable, stiff, and there's nothing for my sword.

Iris: then you should wear it more

Cardinal: I- good point

A few minutes pass in silence, and some people dressed in fancy uniforms and fedoras enter the room

Cardinal: intelligence agency, right?

IA Unit1: yes, this cross session is over. We're here to escort 7621 out. They have a mission for it.

Cardinal: Alright then, where to, and is there a squad on site already?

A second IA, with an iPad speaks up and holds it to him

IA Unit2: here, the coordinates

Cardinal takes the iPad and skims it a bit

Cardinal: alright then, black alert

IA Unit1: wait what? What are you doi-

Cardinal disappears in the blue flash of the Spore Drive as he goes through the Mycelial network

Tau-11 Leader: what the, we weren't expecting you so quickly. They said another 3 days!

Cardinal: never underestimate a spaceship

Tau-11 Leader: anyways, we've been joined by a few friends, you can start doing whatever you need to do and we'll wait

He motions to the Montana and a detachment of Lambda-3. SCPS Alaska, Roanoke, and Pringle

Cardinal: alright then, let's get this party started

He jumps into the water and panels unfold from his riggings, he starts pressing buttons

Cardinal: Echo I want a full sonar, radar, and tachyon sweep, I'll be running diagnostics and checking the results of the scans, we don't want another Outpost-76 incident

Echo: you don't have to tell me that twice- we got 3 contacts, one on the seabed, and 2 heading for us right... Now!

Cardinal jumps up right as 1264 tries to eat him, but it's followed by SCP-1954

Tau-11 soldier: what? Why is 1954 here?!

Cardinal: 1954? What's that

Tau-11 soldier: a kaiju shifter!

Cardinal lands back onto the water and starts chasing 1264 and 1954, the latter of which fires a quick atomic breath at 1264

Cardinal: what the hell

1954 goes under 1264, and surfaces, puncturing the hull with it's dorsal fins, 1954 stands up and delivers a finishing blow to 1264, leaving it dead in the water

Echo: Cardinal the other contact has started moving, and it's heading for the fleet

The other contact, which was 4217, gets up off the seafloor, and starts rising, at the surface it starts heading for the fleet at ramming speed, but Cardinal intervenes by deploying his ship right in front of it with shields up, 4217 attempts to wrap it's tentacles around it but fails and grabs the shields. Using the Bismarck's strength to his advantage he faces his ship up and yeets it back down, thrashing 4217 around. He continued this happily, or at least he was until he heard this from Echo

Echo: sir, shield power is dropping rapidly

Cardinal: when did this start, a few seconds ago or when that thing grabbed us

Echo: right now

Cardinal: ah shit

Meanwhile, 1954 was tearing away at the aft of the Bismarck, and the ships were firing their cannons and launching SM-2s at it
