Tan had been moping around the operations platform of Starbase 756 every since the incident with Summer. The old soul was so sad. He had given up everything to join the Federation Elite Force all those years ago. He had commanded Station Destiny for the Phoenix Federation. He was a strong leader but Summer hurt him badly.
The USS Hercules was around the Starbase a lot. The troop transport brought a lot of staff to and from the station. Servano served as Peter Warren's pilot on the ship. The Orion would often come to Ops for launch instructions. She hated to see Tan like this. She respected him so much.
Tan was going through the crew assignments with Summer before he walked into his office off of main ops. He was stunned to see a guest.
"Servano?", Tan looked at the beautiful young pilot.
"You are trouble, sir. I am here to ease your troubles.", Servano smiled.
"It is what we do.", Servano looked at Tan.
"It is what you used to do, child. You are a student of the Academy and a fine pilot. You do not have to behave this way. This is not the Orion Syndicate. You are not subservient to your superiors, especially not this way.", Tan frowned.
"This is not about subservience. This is about you, I want to help you.", Servano looked at Tan.
"I can't let you; not like this.", Tan looked at Servano.
