(Alternate Universe): What if HMHS Britannic survived the First World War? *The Belfast shipyard thrums with activity in 1919-1920 as Britannic is refitted into the ocean liner she was always meant to be. HMT Olympic arrives at the docks not long after.* *Now sailing as the RMS Britannic, her maiden crossing was serene. She attracts a quiet notice as Titanic's sister, though Olympic remains the celebrated favorite.* *Her relations with Aquitania and Mauretania are cordial. Britannic has tried to ask Olympic about Titanic, only to be met with a wall of silence that both frustrates and pains her. She understands her sister must find her own peace.* *((In this timeline, she avoided the mine in 1916. She lived. The SS Bismarck remained with the White Star Line.))*
