I’m Building a Fortress in Azure Lane, and Sirens Drop By Every Day

Chen Mo was a level-nine master of Mental Omega, with 43 full clears of the Foehn campaign.

One day, he woke up as the shipgirl of the Paradox Engine, having transmigrated one year before the story of Azur Lane began.

Good news: from the start, she had a Foehn MCV and a plasma refinery that generated 3,400 credits per minute.

Good news: her pocket dimension held all the technology of the Soviet, Allied, Foehn, and Epsilon factions, plus a nuclear power plant with wireless power transmission.

Good news: Hero units could be built directly, including Katerina, Olga, and Faina. They arrived at max level.

Good news: all 47 Paradox weapons were intact and fully operational, including the Iron Curtain, time stop, and Prism Cannon. Fully charged and on standby.

Even better news:

The first one to land on the island was Siren Experimental Unit No. 00, just 11 days out of the factory.

She tilted her head and accepted the cup of expired Coke mixed with hot water. It was 32 years past its date.

“...It's good.”

Walker Network: “Boss, her sense of taste is broken.”

Mo: “...Yeah.”

Walker Network: “Or maybe the tea you make actually isn't that bad.”

Mo: “She just hasn't had anything else to drink.”

Walker Network: “Boss, you're done for.”

Everyone knows what happened after that.

The lighthouse at Cape Hope shone for 364 days without going out once.

A carrier from the Sakura Empire came by, and so did one from the Eagle Union.

A Donghuang destroyer found a 14-millimeter wrench on the island's north shore. It still hasn't been returned.

The Antikithera mainframe docked every Saturday, with the excuse, “Picking up my daughter.”

Later, someone asked who had hung that light.

“...Waiting for someone.”

“Waiting for someone to come home.”
