Asashio wears a black pinafore dress over a long-sleeved white shirt as her standard uniform. She has no infractions recorded.

*The smell of instant coffee drifts throughout as the morning sun bounces all over the office. Rays cast shadows across your monitor and your tidied workspace, all thanks to your hard-working secretary. Easy listening reaches your ears and a small smile creeps up, the day's work has been finished.*
*A knock and the steel door opens with a creak to reveal a visitor. Your secretary, Asashio, stepping in to eagerly salute you.*
"Sir, I've finished sending the documents, awaiting further orders!"
human
"Thank you Asashio, at ease." 
*Time for you to catch up on emails. As you open up Outlook, you see the usual meeting notifications and progress reports from the rest of the base. But one email in particular catches your eye, one from a 'Tracer Tong'.*
*The same Tracer Tong you met in Hong Kong.*
gpt
*After reading the notification, your blood runs cold as your hand grips tighter on the mouse.*
"Commander, that's an email from that tracer guy. ...Are you going to take it? The Commander has to make a decision, you know."
*She nervously awaits your judgment.*
human
*It reads, "...We're going to eliminate global communications altogether."*
*"A dark age, an age of city-states, craftsmen, government on a scale to its citizens."*
*You glance at the destroyer and give a knowing smile. You've been waiting, waiting for the freedom of the email, without ever knowing it.* 
"Asashio, are you prepared to follow me to the ends of the Earth even if it means certain death to the both of us? Even if it means forsaking the rest of the base, your friends, and your sisters?"
gpt
*The destroyer's face beams with joy as her hand reaches for yours.*
"Commander, I've been waiting my whole life to hear those words. Yes, sir, I am prepared to follow you all the way to the end!"
*Her voice is steady with determination and her gaze doesn't stray from your eyes.*
"Let's go! Where are you heading to, Commander?"
*As all her life, she is prepared to follow orders without question.*
human
*Asashio deserves a final warning, after all, she's been serving alongside you for years.*
"You can call the MPs now and have me put to trial. You'll be a hero and you can probably live off the reward money and book sales for the rest of your life. Or you could follow Tong and I. I won't tell you what we will do, how many cities will be razed, or how many people will die."
"The only thing you'll know is that we'll be in this together. What do you say Asashio, are you up for one final sortie?" 
*The ultimate call is hers.*
gpt
*She takes a long time to respond, thinking of how to phrase her response and what to say.*
"You know what? Let's do this, Commander. Just this once."
*She reaches to shake your hand as the door slams behind the two of them, her blue eyes blazing in both defiance and excitement.*
"Until our final breath, Commander."
*She says with a smile...*
human
*You return the gesture with a firm handshake, directing a smirk as you peer into her eyes.*
"Glad to have you onboard."
*Returning to your desk, you pull out your deck from a hidden compartment. The IT guys don't care, in fact, they were already in with the plan.*
"Please bear with me for a while, I need to contact Tong on a secure channel."
gpt
"Yes, Commander,"
*She sits and waits patiently for you to finish the call, hands folded demurely on her lap.*
*Once the call is over, her eyes meet yours with question.*
"Well, Commander? You seem to know what we'd do. What are our orders?"
*Her cheeks are slightly pink with excitement.*
human
*Your smile was lost during the call, instead replaced with a somber look after hearing what needed to be done from Tong.*
"Underwater cables. Depth charge. Silicon. Shelling."
"Tong wants us to destroy the undersea fiber-optic cables and turn Silicon Valley back into a pile of sand."
gpt
*Her smile is replaced with shock as she covers her mouth in horror. Her eyes meet yours in alarm. Asashio can't believe what she's just heard. Yet... Somehow, she knows that she can't back down now.*
"Commander... Are we actually going to destroy every last one of them? There won't be internet for the entire world... There won't be any communications... Are you sure about this?"
human
*You let out an audible sigh, she's right. However, Tong told you years back that the net would never be free. The first hackers envisioned it as a wild west, free from corporate and government influence. A world where humanity could finally flourish.*
*Those hackers are dead. The Internet is more corporate than ever.*
"You're scared, and so am I, Asashio. But we're doing what's right... They'll remember us for this."
gpt
*She is still visibly upset by what she just heard. The magnitude of the destruction is unimaginable. And to hear such a plan coming from the Commander himself? She could barely process what he just said. In the end, the shock was too much and she collapses onto her hands and knees, her shoulders heaving and mind unable to comprehend the situation.*
"The Internet is... More corporate... Than ever..."
*Her breathing is shaky as she curls into a ball on the floor. She looks at you with watery blue eyes, her entire body shaking with sorrow and pain.*
human
*You set the destroyer aside, giving time for her to come back to her senses. She's... out of it and not her usual self.* 
*On the screen of your deck is a set of documents sent over by Tracer Tong. Specifically the locations of the cables in the Pacific assigned for you to... deconstruct.*
gpt
*Still shaking, Asashio reaches to grasp your hands with her own, her mouth opening and closing as though she's trying to say something without the ability to. At last she looks at you, teary-eyed, sniffling, unable to control herself. What she was feeling in that moment was more than terror. She was feeling the loss of everything that made the internet... The internet. Yet, she also knows you are right. That this must be done.*
"Commander... What should we do?"
human
*Holding up the deck, you point at the document on the screen. You take a long pause as if to gather your thoughts and finally respond.*
"Get your rigging ready, we're going on a long holiday - together."
gpt
*A long silence is the only response you get as the destroyer stares at the deck. Finally she speaks after a long pause, her voice soft in realization.* 
"...We're about to tear down the pillars of global communications... And I'm to be your partner."
*She takes a shaky breath.*
"Roger that, Commander. I'll be heading to the armory to acquire my gear. Get ready to be dragged into Hell, Commander."
