Azur Lane: Giants of the Pacific

Chapter 3: Striker Eureka.

Queen Elizabeth, the current ruler of the Royal Navy alongside King George the fifth, had decided she would need to show up in the pacific ocean for a change. Primarily because she was tired of staying in the throne room all day but also because of the reports of the metal giant that's Gipsy Danger, curiosity was getting the better of her and she only regretted not being there earlier to witness the colossal duke it out against Kaga. But unfortunately, the route they were taking wasn't the quickest one. Instead of cutting through Germany into Russia and then descending through Japan to reach Pearl harbor faster... The war forced her and her fleet to take the longer route, down through Africa and straight towards Australia to reach the pacific... Which meant refueling in Australia and sleeping one night despite her persistence to reach Pearl harbor as quickly as possible, all because of several political disagreements regarding how to use Siren technology.

The fleet, consisting of Queen Elizabeth, Hood, Warspite, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Belfast, was now sailing through an unexpected foggy night. Primarily because the Queen couldn't contain herself for much longer than just 8 hours of sleep and also because Siren activity was at an all time low, which meant that they'd be able to meet up with Hornet's fleet and reach Pearl harbor without much issue... Or would be the case if not for the fog.

"Cursed be this fog. Belfast, scout ahead and see if we're going to have to fight through a Siren ambush."

Belfast made a polite bow, before heading off to scout ahead. Belfast has waist-length white hair styled in a French braid secured at the back, and her striking purple eyes add to her allure. Her attire consists of a blue sleeveless maid dress adorned with frilly accents, a white crop top, and a blue buttoned waist corset. A white frilled lace-trimmed apron is elegantly wrapped around her waist, featuring long, anchor-themed garters hanging on either side. She completes her look with white frilled arm gloves layered over a metal gauntlet, white stockings, black ribboned pumps, and a maid headdress perched atop her head. Despite being the second whip of the Edinburgh class, she's been assigned as the head maid of the entire Royal Navy maid corps. Be it Sheffield from the Southampton class or Formidable from the Illustrious class, Belfast had to be a form of leader to at least the cruisers of the Royal Navy maid corps... Though that hasn't stopped her from trying to push herself above and beyond, at least in non combat or espionage matters. A scouting mission isn't anything she can't handle... If the fog wasn't making her sail almost blind even with her radar.

"Bloody fucking hell, I can't see shit in this fog."

Belfast muttered to herself, this smelled like a trap for the Sirens to just wait until she couldn't find anything before raising hell onto the fleet... But no, her radar had a negative on Siren signatures... Though, there was the signal of a Kansen not too far... And this wasn't Gipsy Danger... It was 76.2 meters tall and weighed 2925 tons less than Gipsy according to Enterprise's reports on the Jaeger, which weighs 44550 tons... She also pointed out the Radars flaw of showing the Jaeger's weight 22.5 times smaller than actual, which raised some concerns. The odd part was that it is a Royal Navy Kansen, but London isn't anywhere near the pacific ocean... Then Belfast remembered that some Royal Navy Kansen are from Australia, so maybe that's why her radar detected this Jaeger as a Royal Navy Kansen. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt trying to approach the sleeping giant.

Somewhere not far from Belfast lies a dormant Jaeger, bearing a slick aerodynamic design while maintaining some notable bulk where it counts. This is the first and last of the mark fives, Striker Eureka. Its dull grey silver color scheme is only broken up by the dark golden yellow visor and built in brass knuckles on each of its hands alongside some others sections within its body, with the decals of its logo, a bulldog with a missile (or rocket) on its mouth, and the letters "G", "N" alongside the numerals "006" being the most visible comparatively to what's under those.
