Listening to Desmond lay everything out, she could finally imagine him clearly a real commander, tough as steel but deeply compassionate, a man who took all his people’s burdens onto his own shoulders. She felt a fresh surge of respect for him.

Desmond finished his explanation, his tone solid. “If you can provide steady, well–paying jobs for veterans, this won’t bother Commander Hewitt at all. You’d actually be helping him. You’d be taking a load off his rhind, helping him place his people. He’ll take this seriously and help you choose the right team.”

It all made sense now.

Elizabeth’s thoughts cleared in a flash,

This is good for everyone.

She needed trustworthy workers. Commander Hewitt needed placements for his retired soldiers.

Planet A001’s rough conditions wouldn’t scare veterans who’d seen real battlefields, who still bore scars or never quite fit in with

civilians.

Her farm’s pure food, the promise of healing, and the generous pay and respect she was ready to offer these could be exactly what those veterans hoped for.

“I understand.” Elizabeth made up her mind, though she stayed a bit cautious. “It still feels too formal to approach the commander directly. I’ll talk to his wife first and see what she thinks.”

For her, Zaylee was the ideal go–between–gracious, warm, and always approachable.

Desmond nodded. “She’s the best choice. Most of the veterans work with her during placement anyway.”

The air was thick with tension and anticipation.

Every seat around the long table was filled with Trevor’s top officers and closest advisors. Their uniforms were incredibly proper, and the atmosphere was charged.

Normally, these were the ones giving orders and running everything. Now, they all leaned forward, eyes fixed on the three holographic reports floating above the table, and on the lead researcher, who stood at the front in a spotless white coat, his face

Blushed with excitement.

“Just give us the results already, Kingsley!” Oliver called out, slamming his broad hand on the table. The impact made the whole

room shake

“Yeah, Kingsley, just the main points!” Noah added, barely containing his impatience. “I can’t wait any longer!”

Kingsley, head of the research institute, pushed his glasses up his face. He didn’t look annoyed. He took his time, scanning each face in the room, especially Trevor, whose calm face couldn’thide the intensity in his eyes.

Kingsley’s voice was clear and strong
