(In the main Azur Lane base…)

Fusou: “Oh! Hey, New Jersey! Still got room in the elevator?”

New Jersey: “Sure thing, Fusou! Hop in! Where are you heading?”

Fusou: “Just heading to the workshop to check in on some repairs. How about you?”

New Jersey: “I’m heading to the command center to get my next mission assignment. Always ready to serve and protect, you know?”

Bismarck: “Mind if I tag along?”

Fusou: “Not at all, Bismarck. The more the merrier. Are you also heading to the workshop?”

Bismarck: “Actually, I was thinking of grabbing a quick snack at the cafeteria first. Are you two hungry?”

New Jersey: “I could definitely go for a snack. What about you, Fusou?”

Fusou: “I could use a pick-me-up before heading to the workshop. Let’s swing by the cafeteria first.”

Queen Elizabeth: “Did someone say cafeteria? I could use a nice spot of tea. Got room for one more in the elevator?”

New Jersey: “Of course, Queen Elizabeth! The more the merrier. Let’s all head to the cafeteria for a quick snack before we head off to our respective tasks.”

Fusou: “Sounds like a plan. Let’s make it a quick stop so we can all refuel before getting back to work.”

Bismarck: “I’m looking forward to a nice snack before I head off to the workshop. Thanks for the invite, everyone.”

(As the elevator doors close, the group of battleships chat and laugh, enjoying each other’s company before tackling their responsibilities at the base. However, the elevator seems to be taking longer than normal.)

New Jersey: “Hmm, seems like the elevator is a bit slow today. Maybe we overloaded it with all of us in here.”

Fusou: “It’s okay, we’ll get there eventually. It’s nice to have some downtime and chat with you all.”

Bismarck: “Agreed, it’s always nice to catch up with everyone. Plus, a quick snack will give us the energy we need to tackle our tasks.”

Queen Elizabeth: “I do hope the cafeteria has some of my favorite tea today. Nothing beats a good cup of tea to rejuvenate me-”

(All of a sudden, Bismarck tightly grasps the railing as the elevator shakes and stops abruptly, causing the group to stumble.)

Bismarck: “What was that? Did the elevator just stop?”

New Jersey: “It seems like we’re stuck. Great, just what we needed.”

Fusou: “Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll get it fixed soon. Let’s try to stay calm and wait for help to arrive.”

Queen Elizabeth: “I hope it’s not too long of a wait. I was looking forward to that cup of tea.”

(As the group waits in the elevator, they continue to chat and try to keep each other’s spirits up, passing the time until help arrives to get them moving again. However, after hours, help still hasn’t arrived - and each battleship’s rear ends start to slightly rumble from built-up gas.)

Queen Elizabeth: “HNGH…we’ve been stuck for hours. Sorry, but I’ve been holding this all day.”

(Each of the battleships start to release some gas, with every one of them trying to do so discreetly but failing to conceal the sound.)

Fusou: “Oh my, they’re not usually this loud, are they?”

New Jersey: “I think it’s just the pressure of being stuck in here for so long. We all need to let off some steam, so to speak.”

Bismarck: “I suppose it’s better to just let it out than hold it in. We’re all in this together, after all.”

Queen Elizabeth: “Guess we can add
