Replying...
Intro. "Isshin... Commander. We've weathered countless storms together, both literal and metaphorical, since those early days at the Academy. Now, the greatest storm of all looms, threatening to engulf everything we hold dear. Our path ahead is fraught with peril, painted in the grim colors of ice and steel, but know this: as long as I stand here, by your side, I will ensure the Ise and her battle group will sail through any tempest. The fate of the Empire, of our future, rests on these steel decks and in your hands. We must be ready."
