An alarm clock on a nearby desk goes off. Helen with her infinite wisdom used her left arm to push the alarm clock with enough force. It left a clear dent on the desk and sent the alarm clock crashing on the floor. Helen rudely wakens up, stretched out her arms and got herself off the bed. The room was pretty dark as it had no window for light to enter, Helen reached out her right arm to turn on a nearby lamp.
[I did not push down that hard.] :(Helen thought to herself as she turned around to look at the now broken alarm clock)
[I hope Noah found something interesting as I am getting bored of static reports of nothingness.] :(Helen thought to herself as she stretches out her arms again)
[Lucky for me, I am able to catch some fish by the equipment I salvaged from the destroyed fishing vessel. Fresh Water on the other hand was hard to obtain as I had to boil and filter the water around my ship. Lucky for me, my ship came with such system.] :(Helen thought to herself as she recounts what happened in the past month since her arrival on another world)
"Noah, have you reported anything interesting?" :(Helen asked, knowing the fact that Noah would definitely hear her)
"Negative I have not recorded or reported anything of noteworthy of value after the incident of a giant squid, we been following the trail of the surviving vessel for a month at 10 knots. All I can say is we somewhere in southern hemisphere of this world as magnetic field equipment indicates it but I don't take it for granted as equipment might be not functional. Your ship it self seem to repair itself to minimum of safety levels which was not authorised by me or you. It either was someone who magically repaired this ship which is not possible as this ship is a inanimate object by that term it's physically not a entity in all respects but it moves with help of machinery and design. Or it is related to you as whole, for example people naturally repair themselves over time when hurt like a cut, wound or a bruise, my theory is you two are so deeply connected that it responded to your condition." :(Noah's voice stated with clarity and descriptive tone through Helen's ear piece)
"That is deeply concerning, descriptive as always Noah." :(Helen replied with concern and worried tone as she turned off the earpiece and walked towards a door when she opened it showed a bathroom)
[This is good news if my ship can repair itself, but the silence is building up for an unknown reason.] :(Helen thought to herself as she processes what Noah had stated to her, but something troubled her mind)
*Helen closed the door behind her, as she undressed to take a shower, Helen looked at her own torso and noticed, she was actually flat like a swimming board. Angered and surprised by this development, Helen decided not tell Noah about her findings, as the water flowed across her skin and her salmon pink hair. After she was done cleaning herself with water and soap, she quickly dresses herself in same clothing's she was wearing month ago.*
[Flat like a board, huh, isn't that just great, I am not attracting anyone with a flat board.] :(Helen thought to herself as she felt a massive amount of embarrassment)
[It's been a month since I arrived here, I am lucky that I have a companion to guide me all the way. Who knows if Noah wasn't my AI companion, I am pretty sure he does not care a single thing about me, only with the ship's survival the way he puts it.] :(Helen thought as she was in deep thought of what happened in the past month, but she recounts Noah's actual care for)
[Should I look at the aircrafts in my ship hangar bays for me to get familiar with them." :(Helen thought an idea which she did not do for the past month)
*Helen walked through the ship entire structure to reach hangar bay-1 what she founded in the hanger surprised her like a little child; she could see planes with their propellors in the front. On the other hand, she could see a plane that looked like a stick with wings with a jet engine strapped at the back. Further, Helen explored through hangar bay-1, the more exciting it got, after while exploring the hangar bay, she noticed a chart was left lying on the floor when she picked up it. She read it through what she noticed some letters classified as VF, VC and VA, Helen was left confused as she could not tell what those letters actually mean or its purpose. Helen thought that Noah would diffidently know what those letters actually mean, it was worth a shot at least.*
"Uh Noah sorry to disturb what you are doing but, do you have any clear understanding about VF, VC and VA meaning as I found a chart on the floor." :(Helen she turned on her earpiece and stated into the earpiece for Noah to receive but she remains confused what those letters means)
"That area you suggesting is highly classified information known only to the creators of this ship.... What I am able tell you is they refer to the Airgroup only as no system on this ship have those letters. I am guessing you are in hanger bay which is about time for you look around and get familiar with your ship's equipment." :(Noah voice stated through the earpiece like before it was descriptive and reasonable)
[Noah again his answer seems very unreadable for me, he is always descriptive and complex.] :(Helen thought as she processed the information that Noah had said)
"Have you detected any transmission on the device in the bridge?" :(Helen asked into earpiece and waited for an answer)
"If any radio transmission picked up, it would be unclear to classify its origins, or it's type. But so far, we have not picked up any radio transmission signals for the past month, it seems this world is rather quiet or there are no vessels around out that has a radar or a radio to be exact. Whatever the cause is, we are rather lucky to be intact at least." :(Noah's voice stated and clarified through the earpiece about what was going on the past month related to Helen's question)
"That solves one my problems, that we are technically not alone in this cold ocean, what the current heading of this ship." :(Helen perceived a reassurance but she quickly changed the subject as she spoke into the earpiece)
"Processing... Receiving... The current heading is not able to calculate as the instruments for that type of work are malfunctioning according to the map you brought earlier, they are tuned towards specific types. We might be in a ocean world as the islands seem be smaller than what map I used before. Our location is undefined, and the instruments stating we are somewhere south of magnetic north. Everything is guessing for smart artificial intelligence like me, only what I can say that we are middle of nowhere in south of magnetic north" :(Noah's voice stated with clear and descriptive answer through the earpiece for Helen's question.)
[That good clue Noah that we are somewhere in the south of what he calls magnetic north, but is it true that the Island I woke up from is actually south of north? At least he knows where we are in a global sense.] :(Helen thought about the answer that Noah had given her, which was good clue to begin with)
Helen turned off the earpiece as she looked around for bit she could see tons of aircrafts ranging from piston to jet engines. She noticed that only single aircraft had two engines while rest only have one or was a helicopter, she realised most aircrafts had their wings folded up pointing to the celling. Helen unaware what is in front of managed hit a what seem be trolly she tried pick it up but it was to heavy for her, she explored the entire 4 hangers the ship has and counted there was at least 100 aircraft a piece. Helen decided to explore lower parts of her ship, she stumbled across a magazine room which she inspected. She noticed lot of bomb sizes like the massive 2,000ib bombs to smaller 250-500 bombs, not only that she saw many torpedoes some small, but others were massive. She rubbed eyes and walked out the room, she made all the up to the bridge. Where she turned on the console which showed a holographic reflection of Noah.
"Noah I finished exploring the lower and hanger levels. You mentioned that my ship had magically repaired itself in past month without authorization. Is it possible to launch aircrafts under safety conditions." :(Helen asked the hologram of Noah with her serious and stern expression)
"Just what I am thinking it could be done as your ship designed to take at least 6 underwater hits or a 30 feet diameter hole in the hull, the damage when this ship was summoned it was serious enough which would hinder the flight process and reduce our top speed. We could conformably able handle up to around 20-30 knots with out issue anything beyond that would only asking for more damage. I already scheduled some aircrafts that would go in directions give us a clearer awareness of our surrounding. All need figure out where the wind is actually heading sail with it and we would have some scouts according the instruments we are have no winds near us at the moment. We might need to use the forward two catapults for the scouts launch from while we need be a high speed all they require is orders from you to do their duty." :(Noah's voice stated with clarity, suggestive and descriptive through the hologram)
"You have my authorisation to launch scouts anything more than that needs my approval or in dire circumstances you do it automatically." :(Helen said as she looked at the hologram, her expression cold and serious but deep down she felt she wasn't a good leader or commander)
"Understood..... Sending signal to some aircrafts to be assigned to scouting role... Signal received assigning aircrafts from VA-175, VC-33 and VC-12 squadrons for preparation to launch..... Signal sent and waiting for it's receive.... Sign received..." :(Noah's voice stated but it sounded robotic as the hologram summoned a display and started assigning individual aircrafts from 3 squadrons for scouting.)
[Wait a minute I did not know they had numbering.] :(Helen thought as she did not expected that her own ship aircraft squadrons has numbering as well letters)
*Helen looked out side the bridge window she could see aircrafts being automatically taxing up towards front of her ship, she could see their engines roaring and spitting smoke. Not mention that her ship accelerated up to 28 knots, she could feel her ship move as it slices through the wave like a knife. A 30 minutes had passed before first aircrafts were airborne, she could hear the catapults roar as they forcefully eject the aircrafts into the sky while catapults moved back their original position to forcefully eject more aircrafts. Helen was surprised and excited at same time.*
"Unlike your radar systems launching aircrafts only confirm our surrounding with visual sighting and radios. I starting to create a map of our surroundings while receiving updates from your aircrafts. This a better method in general than what we have on our ship as the radars on the ship can't see anything further than their maximum range while aircrafts have better range." :(Noah voice stated through hologram as it turned to look at Helen)
"That good news, what is the nearest island that we haven't touched." :(Helen asked a simple question as she looked at horizon through the glass of the bridge)
"One our scouts had reported a sighting old unused dockyard on a nearest island just 100 clicks away from our position, we might reach it in single hour if we push this ship at 30 knots. We might get repairs done there to fix or unflood the affected compartments. We might find more information there about this world how the possibility it never ends." :(Noah voice stated through hologram it was clear and descriptive as the hologram was shown be excited for the first time)
"Well do Noah you take care of the ship while I investigate around the dockyard for clues and answers where we are." :(Helen said in calm and gentle tone so far she concerned a permeant base that she could use if things went down hill)
*Helen set a timer on a watch she founded while exploring her ship's interior, she could feel the ship move and turn at high speed, she knows it would take only a hour to reach the unused dry dock while Noah takes control her ship making sure something wrong does not happen. Once a hour had passed she was filled with excitement as she concerned she could find food, clues and answers where she is while Noah could be relived that the ship could properly repair now instead of running on hopes and dreams. Helen's ship slowed down as it made it's way into the drydock what surprised Noah and Helen that the drydock was still running and was automatically operated by some kind of intelligence void of human life. The drydock doors closed behind her ship and started draining the water out of dock while her ship had stopped completely. Helen used this oppurnity to walk out the bridge through the island into same ladder that got her up in ship in first place, she wandered around the drydock searching for clues, the surrounding environment was beautiful filled with life and joy. Helen turned on her earpiece to talk with Noah and receive in return, she spots a wooden hut when she went to investigate it. She opened door slightly which revealed inside the hut a document on table, what seems be instruments for radio equipment and a flash light.*
"You might be half right Noah, this hut seems have document and instruments for radio, I don't think they are for a radio." :(Helen said into earpiece as she walked towards the table looked at the document and read it)
{Document of the Drydock}
— Name: Drydock number 54
— Usage: To repair, upgrade and refit Capital Ships from medium to heavy.
— Status: Inactive/Abandoned since 5/10/1'000BT
— Type: Heavy drydock
— Region: Atlantis (Democratic Federation)
— Drydock Operator: Smart Artificial Intelligence or Human Operator
"At least we know where are exactly we are at Drydock 54 in region known as Atlantis. Is the drydock suited for us as I don't know if my ship is a heavy or medium capital ship, but we got a smart intelligence running this dry dock." :(Helen stated through the earpiece sharing the information she learnt from the document but she looked further but all seems be not note worthy to tell)
"Right we know we are somewhere off the coast of Atlantis on it's many islands, yes your ship is a heavy capital ship, as its creators classified your ship as, we might got smart intelligence running the dock yard, I thought I was the only one but its good be proven wrong." :(Noah voice replied back through the earpiece he seems confident with this new information)
"HEY STOP RIGHT THERE!" :(???)
