To be fair, Warspite is working towards helping Atlanta making sure that the girls are accountable for their actions and working to prop up Atlanta's power.
That's a charitable way of describing a plea deal.
I’ll preface this by saying I think that Iowa should pay for the mat, but the German girls were getting manhandled out of their own quarters. And the biggest thing they were (and still are) worried about is their tatami mat. And as far as we know, they are more upset over the mat being damaged than they are grateful that Iowa and Co. came and stopped Gangut and Tashkent. If they didn’t come, then the German girls would be down their entire section of the dorm, which includes their precious mat.
And I’ll also say that Atlanta is really lucky that Iowa isn’t a strict military type. Let’s assume that battleship girls are given a higher military rank compared to light cruiser girls. Iowa especially is probably commander of the American shipgirls present in Idobase. If that’s the case, then Atlanta literally walked into her commanding officer’s quarters and threatened to start selling her stuff.
... this makes think... how does instant coffee exactly works?
Concentrated pre-made coffee "syrup" of which you add small amounts to boiling water. It's about as tasty as i make it sound but it's coffee, which is a definite step up from not having coffee. My job has one such machine. It's cheap, easy to store and dispenses instantly with the press of a button. In other words, ideal for the work environment as no time is lost brewing.
My first ever cup did not go down easily, but (since it's entirely free) i've learned to like it.
