Brandi looked at Tan, "This is a great opportunity. I have to take it."
Tan looked at Brandi, "What about us?"
Brandi looked at the Hierarchy Clanner, "You did this for me. You insisted that being a pilot was in my genetics. You are the reason I have this opportunity. With Jaskalla moving into the Governor's Mansion, the Providence has an opening and I can fly a starship. I have this confidence because of you and I will always be grateful."
Tan looked at her, "That has nothing to do with us."
"You helped me become a woman and become what I am today. I know this is the end of our physical and loving relationship, Admiral Tan but you will always be a part of me and always be a part of my heart. I am what I am because of you. You are a great man, Admiral. There will be others and you will help them to be great too.", Brandi tried to make Tan feel better but just her calling him Admiral hurt badly.
Alexandra Leo was a Caitian Leporidae. She had joined the King's Fleet to work on the Pavillion. Her family had already lost a daughter to space and did not want her to be lost too. Her father had told her to meet with her senior officer immediately upon arrival. She walked in on Tan who was sitting in the station executive office with his bald head in his hand in tears. His heart had been broken by Brandi chosing to become the Providence Helm Commander over staying with him.
Alexandra looked at the Hierarchy Admiral, "Lt. Leo reporting for duty."
"See Mickey. She will tell you what to do.", Tan mumbled.
"Can I help you Admiral?", Alexandra asked.
"See Mickey.", Tan repeated.
Alexandra was soon working in Station Operations aboard the Space City. She was soon looking around the station. She sat in the promenade reading the personal logs of the senior command. She knew about the crush that Michaela Hatherton had on Admiral Tan. She soon learned about the failure of the Trill Summer Vasa-Lau to become the girlfriend of Tan and then about his work to making Brandi Paneera into a fine person, officer and pilot. Alexandra learned about what Tan had done for the multi-limbed mutant. She had grown of crush on Tan and she had never even met the man except for a few minutes in the executive office. She knew where Michaela was coming from.
Alexandra knew that Michaela would be making a second move for Tan now that Brandi had joined the crew of the Providence. She knew that she might have only one chance to make time with the gentle soul. Alexandra needed to be forceful and she needed an immediate hook or Mickey would get her man.
Alexandra knew about the rivalry between Deveniss and Tan and knew about Bethany wearing the red dresses and red outfits to show her availability and the sexual prowess with the Selayan Admiral. Alexandra knew that the lingerie needed to be red. Tan would know the symbolism. She pulled over a red negligee. She looked at the cute red bottoms but tossed them into the corner. She would not be needing them to do what she wanted to do.
Alexandra used her position in station ops to steal the code for Admiral Tan's quarters. She snuck into the quarters to wait for Tan. Upon hearing the door chime, she straddled the supper table exposing her naked body from the waist down. She looked at Tan, "Dinner is served."
Tan looked at the exposed rabbit like creature, "Put your clothes back on Lieutenant. I am not in the mood."
"On the contrary, Tan. I think now is the right time... More than ever.", Alexandra wiggled her tail back and forth.
Tan looked at Alexandra, "I know you are trying to cheer me up but romance is not just a sexual act. I thought Brandi might be the one to replace Summer in my heart. She tore my heart out and took it with her to the Providence."
"I have nothing left to give you.", Tan sat down and ordered a coffee from the replicator.
Alexandra came over and grabbed a coffee and sat with Tan. The pair talked about Summer, life on Station Destiny and the peD cha'paj, the pressure of the name Governor's Station and the choices of Brandi Paneera. Alexandra listened as Tan described being flirted with by Michaela Hatherton. He truly did not understand his magnetism and how he was such a good catch and a good soul.
Alexandra began spilling her own story about losing her sister first to Nicole Branson and then to the King's Fleet and finally to death in the service. She talked about her father losing his oldest daughter and the pain he felt. Tan listened to Alexandra as the pair drank coffee and shared their experiences.
Alexandra looked at Tan, "I am sorry for coming here dressed inappropriately."
Tan smiled back, "I don't know. I did not mind what I saw."
Even Tan could not believe he said that. He looked at Alexandra expecting some sort of rebuttal. Alexandra stood up and walked back towards the table. She repeated her entry move.
Tan walked over behind the presenting rabbit and proceeded to insert one of his magic fingers. Alexandra moaned. Tan smiled. He had lost his Brandi but maybe it was for the better. Only time will tell.
