That last line sent chills up by back. "...mother of us all." Why do I get the feeling that Tashkent recognizes that Fubuki's situation could be a harbinger of everybody's future (or at least those that were sunk and are still retrievable)?

And what's the deal with the crow in the hat? I recognize Chekhov's gun when I see it. :)

Overall a nice addition, I look forward to more.
