Talk:United States Navy in Exile/@comment-13740085-20151128170712

The Admirals of the legitimate United States Navy once more gathered in the conference room of the USS Admiral Guy.

"Here we are again," Robert Stark began, "the task groups have been formed, all Angels have passed their tests, we should be ready. Any concerns?"

"Sir," started Rear Admiral Chester Guy, "shouldn't we wait until Adam and Lilith have been upgraded to fleet status? That way, we bring our Angel count to seventeen."

"They were only intended to serve as prototypes, they don't have all the proper redundancies, and their armor isn't as thick were it is on the final models. While eventually they'll get there, it'll take weeks, and it won't significantly impact our estimated fleet performance."

Stark turns to Admiral Hoults, "Liz, have you gotten in touch with your contacts?"

"Yes, they're standing by, waiting for our move."

"Then if there's nothing else, report to your posts, dismissed."

Later, Stark sat on the bridge of Admiral Guy, observing the fleet. The fifteen Angels, Sachiel, Shamshel, Ramiel, Gaghiel, Israfel, Sandalphon, Matarael, Sahaquiel, Ireul, Leliel, Bardiel, Zeruel, Arael, Armisael, and Tabris, traveled in the center of their respective task groups, mostly comprised of Challenger and Jormungandr-II class ships, supported by Light Attack Craft carriers, while Starks Ships of the Wall served as the offensives spearhead.

"Comm, get me a direct link to Terror Wing flag," Stark ordered.

Soon, the view screen changed to show the Flag bridge of USS Ireul, with Admiral Hoults in the Command Chair.

"Send the signal, Admiral"

Elizabeth Hoults nodded, and the screen returned to the fleet view.

After a moment, Stark again turned to the comm officer, "Go ahead and turn on the radio, might as well have something to listen to."

The speakers came to life with Rouen Radio, a station operated by enlisted men serving to break the boring monotony that was ever present. At first, he was worried they would give away Rouens position until intelligence convinced him that anyone would have to know the Stations exact low-wavelength operating frequency to here anything. The hosts were laughing from some joke when Admiral Guys bridge tuned in.

"Here's a question from a listener," one of them said, "why do you two think Transformers 3 was so sub-par?"

"You know what," his partner began, "I don't know, maybe we should get Shia LaBeouf in some time and ask him."

The staff continued listening from that point. But Stark hardly paid any attention, he was to focus on the operation which, with any luck would restore the legitimate US government. He just had to wait until he got within weapons range.
