Azur Lane: Silent Service
Chapter 19 - Revenge and Emotions

The atmosphere of the room felt very awkward. Me and my childhood friend exchanged intimidating glares.

“When was the last time we met?” ask my childhood friend.

“Entai, maybe nine years ago?” answer briefly.

“You still remember it?”

“You think who has the idea to shape my personal hell?”

“Ah... Sorry..”

I remember everything. No, rather this body remembers everything.

At first, the Seawolf program was just a rough draft not approved by Eagle Union. But all that changes when a genius kid from a secret orphanage breaks into Wisdom Cube's security encryption. By unlocking the security of the Wisdom Cube, a heinous method that binds ships with human subjects can be done.

In theory, ship girls are born naturally from the Wisdom Cube which forms the human subject. But with the safety of the Wisdom Cube having been undermined, making the relationship of the human subject with the body of the ship can be done forcibly. Creating a ship and preparing the shell for the Wisdom Cube can be done simultaneously.

On that day, a hell of the world was created by mankind. Human subject experimentation and immoral training I've been running. I did it all to get my little brother out of the Seawolf training program.

The memories left behind in this body felt very clear. This body has been trained to dive to a depth of one hundred meters, has a high resistance to food toxins, the ability to divide the focus, resist hunger for up to two weeks, the ability of attack tactics, and the ability to, and the technique disappeared like a ghost.

All that brutal training I managed and gave birth to the Seawolf Flagship. Only I had normal memories whereas other subjects were trained to follow orders through suggestion and hypnosis after their bodies gave up.

The whole subject of Seawolf is children enrolled in a secret orphanage with special criteria.

What about me?

Well, luck does not side with me and accept the fate that has been given.

On that day, someone came to me with a smiling face and pointed at me as the subject of Seawolf.

It's a little sad to remember that someone was a very genius childhood friend of mine. Breaking into Wisdom Cube and perfecting the Seawolf program. Seeing this harsh reality, I felt a grudge and the emotions stored in this body.

Something that is personal and is harbored by this body.

I'm sorry, it's time I let go of this accumulated grudge and emotion.

“You know, Arthur.”

“I hate you and all Seawolf-class subjects hate your actions.”

“Your betrayal..”.

“You did sell us..”

“Your selfish thoughts..”

“All is like hell for us..”

“At that point, dying is a wonderful gift for us..”.

“Arthur, thank you for giving this world a beautiful hell.”

“...”

It was an overflow of vengeance and emotion that this body possessed. I wanted to hit him but it would hurt his pride in front of his wife. My words are more than enough. The past about him is like a dark history that wants to be forgotten.

“You don't deserve to have this, Arthur.”

I took an old photo of the orphanage children. That dusty picture frame is a well-kept sin of the past.

“Luckily, I am not a vengeful like they” I said while wiping the picture frame to remove the dust attached.

“But... For the sake of our past being impaled from behind.”

“Consider this is the first time we met.”

I stood up to my childhood friend and saluted.

“USS Seawolf, SSN-21, Flagship of Seawolf-class, gave the order to Admiral Eagle Union to execute his last command of Admirality Code.”

“What an irony to see your creation program end here, right?”

I smiled to break the mood and end my respect.

“Altair... I'm so sorry-“

“I gave orders to the entire Eagle Union fleet to sink my ship in anti-submarine battle.”

I cut my childhood friend's speech and gave the order as Seawolf's Flagship. The quest running at the moment was to destroy the Seawolf-class or sell every single piece of it.

Well, I'd rather destroy my submarine to switch to SSBN or SSGN. The two types of ships have the Vertical Launching System I really want and the damage needed to destroy the siren in one attack.

Well... SSNs, SSBNs, and SSGNs have weapons that adjust their roles.

My status has changed from SSN to SSBN. So, my Seawolf-class submarine is useless. Destroying it and making a new submarine is my main goal.

Now it's...

Which country's SSBN submarine am I going to make?

Well, I'll think about it after my submarine is destroyed.

The Siren and Meta technologies I've acquired are suitable weapons for SSBNs or SSGNs. It will be the new home for Siren Nuke technology.

My childhood friend was bowed in lethargy when he got an order from me. That guilt-filled look became a nightmare for him.

“Stop our personal grudges. I came to execute the last command of Admirality Code.”

“...”

There was a long silence.

“Ugh, so that's your choice?” said it.

“Do I have any other answers other than following Admirality Code's orders? If I ignore that order. I don't know... Maybe I'm a step ahead of you to death” I replied.

I smiled after saying that sentence. The emotions stored in this body were like time bombs exploding at any moment.

It's like I'm delivering the last message from the owner of this body.

“You're..”.

My childhood friend gave up and walked past me to his desk.

“Altair, this is the last transmission from Admirality Code to Seawolf.” unit

My childhood friend handed me a paper with a code of letters and numbers. An encryption message that only the decryption key holder can understand.

“Together with that last transmission, a small package came to me.”

My childhood friend handed me a black disk.

“A classic song that is popular today. I don't know why the Admirality Code sent this to me. The Admirality Code only added a small message to give it to someone who understood about the song. Do you know anything?”

I smiled at my childhood friend's question.

“That's mine” answer me briefly.

My childhood friend handed me the black disk in question. A small memory of the secret message from the Seawolf unit swirled clearly in my head. Something like a secret message stored from behind a voice that spun on the water. In other words, in order to see the contents of the message that the Admiralty Code conveyed, I had to hear the reflection of the sound from the water using my submarine sonar system.

“This makes me curious about the contents of the Admirality Code message. The disk shape is too large for small messages. At least, I need the help of a small ship to rotate this disc above the surface of the water”.

“I can help you” said Arthur.

“Well, rotating the disc is not difficult. I can do it myself” replied quickly.

For some reason from the previous owner of the body, I wanted to avoid any communication contact with this person. I quickly retrieved the disc and the last transmission issued by the Admirality Code rushed out looking for Sofia.

My current goal is to undergo a Quest and destroy my submarine to switch to SSBN submarines.
