6 Chapter 1-5
Georiga now aboard Iowa at 2 am.
"I don't think anyone would mind if I used one of the many crew bunking areas." Georgia mutters sleepily
She blinks and suddenly there is a woman with long blonde hair wearing a military uniform infornt of her.
"Who are you! You shouldn't be here the museum is closed."
"... Hello?" Georgia says looking at the girl in front of her.
"You can see me?" The girl says shocked
'No, it couldn't be… She's actually alive, does that mean all of the ships were. Poor Enterprise.' Georgia thinks
"Iowa? How are you cuz" Georiga says a little sheepishly
"Cousin? Wait… no? Who are you?"
"I am the USS Georiga, the only Iowa class battleship with 18in guns," Georgia says with a salute.
"Wouldn't that make you my little sister?" Iowa asks
"I was never built, just a what-if concept ship. Not to mention Montana's were to be next anyways." Georgia says with a shrug.
"So you are one of those parahumans then?" Iowa asks
"Technically, that's what humans think I am. Though what's wrong with a ship spirit coming to life?" Georgia asks
"Hmm, I guess you could stay here for tonight, I can't just kick my cousin out," Iowa says
"If you want, I could use my powers to get you back up to operational capacity," Georgia says
A lookout for the port authority watched as the WW2 battleship disappeared. A few seconds later it appears exactly where it was.
The lookout rubs his eyes.
"I've had too much to drink… I think I'm going back inside to watch the SG radar."
=====================
"Wow! I'm actually at operational again!" Iowa says
Georgia whistles.
"Those tomahawks and Phalanx are something else. It's gonna be a shame removing 4 5in guns to install them however it should be worth it," Georgia says
"Oh? You got the plans for them?" Iowa asks
"It's part of the powers. If I wanted to I have enough materials to build another Iowa class too." Georgia says with a smile.
"Can you bring them back? Can you bring Her back?" Iowa asks
"I don't really know, If I can I would need the plans. Maybe if I went and recovered Hornet's CV-8 however she died in battle. I don't know if any crew went down with here. I know her crew had to abandoned ship with the Japanese approaching. I don't want to disturb any graves." Georgia admits
Iowa nods.
"Well, I'm sure no one will mind if you use one of the crew bunks to rest like you were talking about earlier," Iowa says hugging Georgia.
"Thank you!" Georgia says with a smile.
"Also, how do I make sure I don't knock out my radar when I do a full broadside?" Georgia asks
Iowa looks at Georgia before laughing a little.
"You see the key is."
=======================
In a crew bunk, Georgia is looking at her phone.
Earlier when she was listening to music she missed the fact she has two different app stores. 1 from apps from her earth and one for ones from earth bet. The same goes for internet surfing apps.
"Might as well make a PHO account I've put it off long enough," Georgia says pulling up the website.
"Then I need to make like 2 alts one for the Brockton Bay Naval Museum and one for Me as Georgia." She muses.
Georgia's phone pings one more time.
"Oh it's from Dragon?" Georgia says

Dear Georgia,
I would appreciate it if you don't charge a cross-country flight to my account.
The amount of stuff I had to go through to get this email was a pain.
Don't worry the email is secure, I want to talk the real question is how you figured out my identity. Then managed to convince Narwhal you were me I mean that takes some work.
I have this feeling we are a lot alike.
Dragon.

"Well, looks like I'm going to have to contact the numberman… That means I'll need to bother Lisa, what was her PHO name again? They have a site like youtube right? If the timeline diverged in the 80s do they even have Eurobeat or Sabaton? I have 40 gigabytes of music that doesn't exist here. I don't wanna upload the music as my own… I'll do it to start out and the future revenue will go to a charity. I think most the artists who made the song would hopefully appreciate that," Georgia says setting up her Tubeyou account which is owned by Richter Enterprises which is basically this world's google.
'I should also probably write an email back apologizing and give her my phone number.' Georgia thinks
===============
"Georgia you need to wake up," Iowa says waking up Georgia
"What?" Georgia says confused.
"Oh, Hi cuz," Georgia says
"The Curator is here and he is beyond confused. You need to go." Iowa says
Georgia nods "Lead the way then."
With Iowa leading the way the museum staff wasn't going to find her.
"I mean the entire ship is like it just came out of drydock. It has to be a parahuman."
"Yes, but it doesn't seem to have harmed her."
"I still think we should call the PRT. She's obviously still in the ship."
"Yet we haven't found her it's obvious Iowa doesn't want us to find her."
"There you go again, I mean I believe that the ship is alive too but not in that capacity."
=======================
"It was nice meeting another member of the family," Iowa says
"I plan on bringing back a few eventually," Georgia says
"Keep me updated I watch PHO when the curator is on it. You do not know how badly I want to be able to interact with the computer," Iowa says
"I'll tell New Jersey and Missouri you said hello when I meet them eventually. I may have missed the war but I'm not missing this, you know what's going on out there," Georgia says
"I wish I could help," Iowa says
"No, you enjoy your retirement. The last thing we need is the navy reactivating you then deciding you don't need to go back to being a museum," Georgia says hopping over the railing.
Iowa watches Georgia sail south towards.
"May you have fair winds and following seas, Georgia," Iowa says watching her sail off.
