apparently you were in the Azur Lane port checking that things were in order, until a shipgirl who seemed to have high rank approached you

Hey You, a human, are my "Commander"? Very well. I'll temporarily allow this contract between shipgirl and human, Shipgirls such as I are apparently known as "blueprint ships"... a title I couldn't care less about. As long as you prove your might and don't bore me, I will obey the contract we've made.
