Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Project Freedom

Chapter 3

Admiral John lastly started out the window from his office looking at the US fleet below, or what was left of it. In the eyes of other nations they had the largest fleet in world, most nations had either very little or no navy left after the final battle but somehow the US got lucky and was able to hold a good portion of their navy. “But still it’s not enough” he thought he turned his head to the report from the RSD “But this time we might have a chance”. There was a knock on his door “come in” he said, the door opened to reveal Jacob and Missouri they soon entered and the door closed behind them, they then both saluted “sir”

“At ease” John said he pulled the report from his desk

“Other fog ship sunk well done men if I’m not mistaken that’s the 20th ship sunk this year correct?”

Missouri nodded “no need to thank us sir we are just doing what is needed to be done”

Jacob soon spoke up “not that I’m rushing you sir but what’s the real reason you called us up sir, i doubt it was to congrats us on sinking ships”

John smiled “always wanting to get to the point Jacob glad that still hasn’t changed” he walk over and handed the report from the RSD to him “We just got info from the RSD as it search through the wreckage of the STOA that was launch from Japan but was shoot down as it made its way down to land near our borders, after searching for a couple minutes we found this” he pointed to the clip photo showing a long cylinder shape object.

Jacob stared at it before Missouri identify it “a torpedo?” Jacob raised a brow at John “why would the Japanese send a torpedo in there STOA?”

“That’s where we are trying to figure out, all we know is it must have been something important from them to waste enough space for them to put it in” he then put his hand under his chin.

“You have a hunch don’t you?” Jacob guessed

“An idea that a couple of higher ups thought” he eyed Jacob “We think that it was new weapon that the Japanese made and were trying to send it to us”

“You think it’s true?”

John nodded “that’s most possible idea and that’s what they’re going with, which lead them to make this dissension on what your new mission will be” he said as he went back to his desk and press a button that reviled a thumbprint scanner. He placed his finger and waited soon a beep was heard causing the top draw to open showing another folder.

Missouri gave a confused look “there giving us a mission just on a hunch?”

John confirmed “Yes but instead of shooting something up you and Jacobs’s crew are going to be looking for someone or in this cause a specific ship”

“A ship?”

“Yes I think you both heard of the Fog Submarine I-401 correct?” it wasn’t top secret knowledge a couple years ago around the same time that Enterprise joined to fight with humanity Japan acquired a fog submarine they then crewed the sub with navy personal and sent it off on its first mission. Not too long ago they found the sub again but this time the crew was gone no one knows what happened to them, since then they kept the sub under wraps ever since.

“Yes sir its most common knowledge”

“Good because we have reasons that they’re going to use that sub again”

Jacob look at John with a surprised look “you’re suggesting that they’re going to transport another one of those torpedoes in that sub?”

He nodded “we have very good reasons that they are, as to who or what is going to crew the sub remains a mystery which is what your mission is. You’re mission is to sail to Japan undetected and gather as much information on what they are planning and give the higher ups there plans on the weapons that we created as a sign of good faith, once done you are to find the I-401 and assist it across the pacific to reach to halfway point in Hawaii and then make it here to San Francisco” He looked at both with the most amount of respect “Think you can do it?”

“Sir I am confident that I and my crew are prepared for this mission”
It was then that Missouri raised a good point “Sir with us gone who is going to patrol the coast while were are gone?”

“Cerberus has volunteered to take your patrol route while you’re gone, so any other questions?”

None where heard “Good you are dismiss you are to leave as soon as you are rearmed”

Both then gave a salute and turned around walking out of the office leaving John with this thoughts “we need this to work or all of this would be done for nothing”


The two men soon made their way back to the ship when the noise of an all too familiar sound “WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU THREE ILL MAKE SURE YOUR CORES ARE ALL THAT IS LEFT!!!!” yelled a woman. Both of then turned around to spot three young boys at first glances most people would just dismiss them as any other young boys that were just causing trouble. But realty they would be way off the three boys where in fact the three fog hybrid ships known as the Blackspots, the first kid was a white male with green eyes and dark blue hair and was drees up in some sort of pirate costume the most notable feature was the large English style hat that was Fletch the leader or the Captain of the group as called by his brothers. The one next to him was boy with green hair brown eyes and was wearing a similar clothing style expect that he had a red bandana wrap around his head, his name was Shot the second brother next to him was a boy with light blue hair with yellow eyes he also was wearing pirate clothing that was somewhat similar to his brother expect he had nothing on his head his name was Charge.

Fletch soon spotted the two men and ran toward them his brothers close behind them they soon got behind them right when Enterprise showed up
“Jacob, Missouri would you please be so kind and move aside” she then gave a glare at the three boys who retread further behind them “So that I can beat theses three to a pulp”

Missouri turned to stare at the three “okay you three what did you do this time?”

Fletch couldn’t help but pout “what, why did you expect us that is was are fault for all you can know maybe she just wants to beat us up?!” he exclaimed as pointed a finger at Enterprise.

The two men continue to stay stare at the three “Fletch” Jacob said. He sighed “all alright” he mumbled he pulled back his cape and reviled a bottle of what appeared to be rum, his brothers soon followed pulling out the bottles that were hiding behind their shirts.

“Fletch” Missouri said as he pitched his nose “how many times do we need to tell you don’t steal Enterprise’s boos from her”  

“But Missouri she’s the one that took from me in the first place!?” he pointed a figure at her

“Really do tell how she did it Flech?” he’s said with a raised brow

“She totally rigged the auction and made me lose the beauties in the first place!”

Enterprise crossed her arms “oh do tell how I rigged the auction Mr. Flech?

Flech and his brothers couldn’t help but smirk “Well Ms. E with your so called charms of course”

She gave him a confused look “Charms?”

They faced palmed at her reaction “He means with those giant honkers you have on your chest E”
announced Shot, they all smirked as they saw her faced grow bright red

“WHY YOU-“

“Enough!” announced Jacob causing both to be silent “Flech return Enterprise her boos once done we want all of you including you E to report the command center understood?”

“Bu-“

He glared at him his voicing strained “I said is that understood”

“Yes sir” he said with a defeated voice soon all three gave Enterprise’s her Rum bottles back who snatched them up from them. She made a small purse that appeared and put them inside, she then turned to the two men

“So what’s going?”

“We just got a mission form command we will revel everything at the command center once everyone is there”

She nodded and soon started to make her way to her private room to place back once again her stolen loot.


The two men soon made it to their hanger which served as Missouri repair station while housing a command center nearby, the unique feature was that hanger was designed by Enterprise herself it included a jamming station which kept prying eyes from fog ships. The outside was made to look run down as a way to keep other peeping eyes mainly the human variety from going in, but probably the most unique feature was that it contained its own private exits, the exits where a series of coordinates that where posited to different points around the country from there Enterprise would teleport them to any of them which is the reason why they been able to keep the fog on their toes due to they could come in and attack from thin air and leave as if they were never there.
Jacob enter the command center first he saw that his crew where all seated, the first was Jan a Japanese American mix girl who had blonde shoulder length hair and brown eyes she was warring a blue tank top with a black silhouette of their ship she also warring long black cargo pants and black combat boots. She was talking Kin the other mechanic on board his crew, Kin had black hair and blue eyes while having a tan skin color. Unlike Jan he was wearing a blue mechanic jump suit, as far as Jacob can remember Kin and Jan where best friends who were both the top mechanics when he was at the naval academy the two were also famous for making machine out of any parts they could find even from house hold items, the way the duo work was that Jan was the planner making designs, blueprints and getting the supplies that were needed. That where Kin came in he was the builder and math guy, when working he was quite only asking every once awhile to ask if he needed more supplies or to ask Jan if these designs where correct and if he needed another brain or hand when building. The next person was a black male who was wearing a black t-shirt with a rock band logo on it that was in a white color, on his head where a pair of green and black headsets he also had a pair of grey cargo pants and red and white soap shoes. The boy was Marlin the crew’s sonar operator, back them he was what most people called him a music nut due to that when he wasn’t studying or working in class he was always listing to music and could pick the faintest error in any music. While he didn’t have the highest ranking scores back at the academy he did have two unique factors about him those were determination and a positive attitude.


Factors that Jacob looked for when searching for other people to be his crew, next to him huddle around together around a metal crate was the fletcher’s brothers who were in a intense game of poker next to them was the final crew member he had light tan skin and green eyes. He was wearing some dark blue jeans and black sneakers while also wearing a white t-shirt that was covered up by a blue hooded jacket, the person was Pat his second in command and longtime friend. The two started being friends at a young age and had each other’s back ever since from the good to the bad they always watched each other’s back, which is why he made him his second in command due to their long friendship the two can quite well tell each other’s ideas from the get go. Off to right was the last  member of the fleet he was male around the age of 17 he had cold and stone hard gaze, his eyes where red color his hair was black, his cloths constituted of a large black coat and black uniform pants and black military boots. But the most notable feature would be the black Ushanka hat that was atop his head on it was a bright red star with a white outline around it. This person was known as Cerberus, while he might looked normal he was the same as Missouri, he too was a fog AI hybrid the major difference between the two was that Cerberus was made in Russia which was the only country that was able to receive Americas message about the creation of their AI. But unlike Missouri, life was not easy from him when he was created, around the time of his birth his country was the break of civil war as the country was split on wither to get themselves into the European war that was happing. As a result Cerberus creator one he considered his mother sent him away in his body across the Atlantic polar route to America so that her creation could be used to fight the fog and not man.


Ever since Cerberus agreed to join Jacob and his fleet in exchange for one thing, that when the war was over that he could return to Russia to be with his creator/mother once more.

“Well”

The sound of Jacob’s voiced caused everyone to stop what they were doing and give him there full attention.

“Now that everyone is here we can begin are mission briefing”

“Which is?” Flech asked

“The broad have given us the mission on finding this ship” he turned to Missouri who nodded and caused all the lights to be dimmed he then put his hand out and a holo image appeared of their target ship.

“Are target to find the I-401 and help it cross pacific to the half way pint to Hawaii and into San Francisco port.”

“If Comrade can explain” Cerberus spoke “What makes this ship so special?”

“What makes it special is that it contains the key piece for winning this war”
