Shenta Parejas contemplated what course of action he should take with his senior-ranking officers. This internal clash within his ranks couldn’t continue.

Shenta rested his powerful hands on the windowsill as he peered out into space from within his private quarters.

A beep sounded at the door.

“Enter,” Parejas voiced.

The door opened and in walked Kason and Nevlen.

This was the first time Kason had been to Commander Parejas’s private quarters.

The first thing Kason spotted as he entered was the large square centerpiece; it was made of crystal glass with an unprecedented view through the hull, out into space. Around the outer edge of this 10’ by 10’ piece of glass were four black armchairs and two couches, each opposite the other. A table sat in the middle looking as if it were suspended over the transparent floor.

Even Nevlen’s gaze was locked onto the elegant see-through surface.

“Please, gentlemen, have a seat,” Parejas spoke, unmoving from his windowed position.

Kason and Nevlen sat in the armchairs opposite from one another.

Commander Parejas continued to stand and stare at the stars as if he were searching for something beyond the glass.

Kason watched Shenta from his seat. He could make out the reflection in the glass and the concerned expression upon his commander’s face.

Behind Shenta, Kason noticed a large desk and chair. A corridor ran off towards the other end. He could not see where it led.

Shenta Parejas turned to face them.

“You assume that I brought you here for reprimands for what occurred on the station between you two. You would be incorrect in that assumption.”

Kason and Nevlen glanced at each other.

Shenta sat down on the end of the couch, closest to Nevlen.

“Your actions during the invasion of Earth were both exemplary and, at the same time, reckless.”

Nevlen spoke before Kason, but not by much.

“It was much different than what it appeared,” Nevlen said before Kason interrupted.

“I can assure you, Commander, the Reavers…”

Shenta’s hand rose to stop the two men dead in their tracks.

“I will not have a repeat of the first de-briefing with you two.” He glared at both. “Do I make myself clear?” Shenta’s tone demanded confirmation.

“Aye, sir,” Nevlen responded.

“Yes, sir,” Kason replied.

Commander Parejas looked over his two officers for a moment before he continued.

“I have thought about the discord and hostility between you two, amongst the ground forces and the Reaver units. This, I cannot tolerate. I have enough issues with the Assembly back home than to deal with it here among my own troops,” Shenta said, leaning back into the couch. He continued. “We must solve this issue between you two. It has gone on far too long. So, this is what I have decided, and there will be no debate on the matter,” Shenta said.

Kason looked over at Nevlen, who glared back in his direction.

Shenta got up and walked over to his desk. He motioned for the two men to follow.

Kason and Nevlen rose and approached.

Removing two holo-sheets from a file, Commander Parejas handed one to each of his officers.

“We have three missions.
