---

Nagato has posed:
    10:00 Hours, cold weather and clear skies. Nagato's in her office with Atago aside like usual. More battle plans drawn for an upcoming operation. "Should we field her?" Nagato questions, "And flagship for this operation shall be?" Atago comes back with questions of her own. The room is filled with noises cocerning a future operation. "Plus... Shigure." Nagato comments, "She's something we have to think about as well."

    Atago takes this time to speak, "I do not know, Admiral. You did treat her a bit rough that day." the sigh comes from the Admiral, a knowing sigh. "She may not be willing to do that again for a while."

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure is in almost a fugue state. Gone is the nervousness, as she trudges along the corridor to the Admiral's Office. Thoughts run through her head as she walks, visions of Yamashiro giving her that hair pin, the sheer joy of deploying with her idol and 'big sister'... then the gutting feeling of loss when she sank.

    However, instead of the usual response to that memory, wanting to curl up into a ball and cry, Shigure's fists clench tightly and she breaks the fugue. Blue eyes burning brightly. She reaches the door, and knocks firmly. "I'm coming in!" she calls, before opening the door. The destroyer steps into the office, and snaps a salute... it's almost like she's an entirely different person from the last time.

Nagato has posed:
    The Secretary Ship and Admiral Ship give each other a look, Atago with her ever present smile and Nagato with her stoic face. "I'll speak to her." "Good!" "Go summo..." when the words of 'I'm coming in' are spoken, the door swinging open and the destroyer's entrance, Nagato and Atago look at Shigure with that knowing gaze. Both of the ships give a salute back, "At ease, Shigure." Nagato comments, sitting down. The fact that Shigure is glowing doesn't seem to phase her, the event was told to her beforehand on Union radios.

    "You're coming in with a lot more confidence than you have last time, Shigure. What has changed?" Nagato questions, her hands folded on each other, resting on the desk in front. Her eyes locked to Shigure's in that stoic vision she possesses. "That glow suits you. I trust you're coming in to formally request the remodel?"

    Atago smiles and heads over towards the Destroyer, giving Shigure a pat upon the head, "Congradulations, Shigure. I'm sure the Fifth Force is happy about what you've done."

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure shifts to parade rest stance, hands clasped behind her back. "I was reporting on your orders, Admiral... yo, did request my presence." she seems to be a little uncertain, eyes losing a little bit of that fire before she reigns herself in. "However, if it pleases the Admiral, then yes."

    To Atago, Shigure offers a little smile. "I would not be here now if it was not for their support... I owe them everything, especially Kuma." she looks down, then realigns her eyes onto Nagato.

Nagato has posed:
    Nagato gives a light nod, "Very well, I wanted to hear it in your own words rather than my orders, Shigure." a rare thing, Nagato giving a light smile. "Report to the Factory as soon as possible for a refit." she nods, scribbling something down on some paper. Atago heads back to the desk, picks up the paper and seals it into an envelope only to walk it back to Shigure.

    "These are official orders for the Factory, Shigure. I'm sure you'll do us well after your Remodel." Atago smiles a bit, "And do your best for the Fifth Force, they need a destroyer like you. Protect them, serve them well and in turn, they will serve you well when the time comes. Then perhaps, Nagato will make you Flagship of another operation."

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure takes the envelope, and sequesters it into her uniform. She looks up at Atago and smiles gently before giving the cruiser a sudden hug, breaking protocol. "Thank you." she says, likely for the support the Cruiser has shown, direct and indirect.

    The Destroyer reigns herself in again, and salutes. "If I may be dismissed, I will attend to the Factory immediately. The sooner I am refit, the sooner I can resume my duties with the Fifth Recon."

Nagato has posed:
    Atago returns the hug with the same passion, ruffling the destroyer's hair happily, Nagato gives a nod, forgiving the slight in protocol. "You're dismissed, Shigure." and Nagato pauses, "And off the record..." the battleship stands up and bows, "I apologize about my harshness a few days ago. Continue to do your best for the Fleet."

    Atago gives a smile towards the Admiral, nodding, and once more, giving the Destroyer a pat on the head. "YOu'll be fine."

Nagato has posed:
    Meanwhile, at the Factory. The maniac giggle of a certain girl could be heard echoing around. The sound of torches being used and various equipment fairies darting around to assist are a sight to see...

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure salutes again, then turns to leave. She opens the door and steps back into the corridor. With a new sense of purpose, she strides quickly down the passage, heading out of the building towards the seaport area and the Factory.

------------------------AT THE FACTORY------------------------------

    Shigure slows at the sound of Yuubari's manic cackling, and she looks around at the fairies dashing to and fro. She crouches down as one in a hard hat with a hi-vis vest approaches with a clipboard and holds out a hand expectantly. The Destroyer offers the envelope, which is opened and read quickly before a sharp whistle blows and the Destroyer is suddenly mobbed by a mass of Fairies from all sides, unceremoniously dragged into one of the curtained off areas. "Eee!"
