There was a nice cool breeze and the sound of the wind through the trees was relaxing. Little Christopher sat in a swing tied to a high tree branch. Janice sat on a blanket under another tree in the shade as she set out some food. Mike stood beside a grill, turning hotdogs and flipping hamburgers. The smoke from the grilling food spread the tasty aroma around them.

“You said you wanted to talk with me about something?” Mike said as a burger sizzled.

Janice sat there looking up at him for a minute, then she took a breath and stood. “I want to go back on active duty.”

Mike looked over at her as he flipped another burger. “You want to go back in the field? Command of a ship?” His expression was one of confusion and concern.

“Christopher is still young, both parents can’t be in the field. I’m thinking more administration, maybe Intelligence.” Janice replied as she pulled a PADD from their bag. “I’ve already written up my request to take over as the First Marine Division’s Intelligence Office. The Division’s S-2 was transferred a little over a week ago.” Janice replied.

“If you’re sure of this, then let’s talk with General Jackson.” Mike replied as he looked back at the grill and let out a breath.

“What’s wrong?” Janice asked.

“I guess I’ve grow use to you being out of danger.” Mike replied.

“If I get the position I’ll be home every day at seventeen hundred with Christopher.” Janice replied.

Mike nodded, “Unless tensions with the Typhon Pact heat up.” He flashed a smirk, then started to put the cooked food on a plate.

A few hours later, the Bremer Family left the Holo-suite. They took Christopher back to their quarters and asked Sargent Worth to keep an eye on him. Janice and Mike then proceed to the Fleet Admiral’s office in Ops. Once there, Mike looked over Janice’s request for reinstatement then they sent a message to General Jackson to come to the office.

Jackson arrived moments after his summons. After entering, he greeted Mike. "Admiral."

Mike motioned to an empty chair. “I trust you’ve recovered from the Archanis mission?”

"Personally, I have recovered. Mentally, well, my best friend is still in Medical, and I just finished writing the last letter to the family of a fallen Marine. Between that, and family matters, this has been a trying time." Jax took a seat.

Mike nodded, he understood all too well. He waited a moment before beginning. "The reason I asked you here is because of my wife." Mike smirked at Janice.

"She's requesting to return to duty in a more administrative role" Mike started but Janice cut him off.

"Actually, I'm interested in the open Divisional S-2 position. My Starfleet security clearance is still good and I do have the experience." She handed Jackson a PADD. "That includes my request to return to duty as well as for the position. Most of the time I'll be assigned here working with the Divisional Staff, Starfleet Intelligence, and the Station's staff. If I need to leave the station I'm sure I can twist Mike's arm enough to let me use the Durga...after all it is my old ship." Janice explained.

This was a very welcomed request to Jackson. There was a vacancy in his Division G-2 position, and the experience Janice offered could not be ignored. Since Mike was next to her, he assumed that they hashed the family details out between them.

"Janice, you would be perfect for the G-2 position. Assuming, of course, that you never try pulling rank on me." He gave a chuckle, making his last statement an obvious joke. "On a serious note, I approve your request Ma'am."

Janice smiled, "Thank you, and no...unless I need to pick up Christopher from school because he's sick or something." She laughed.

Mike smirked, "Then I'm going to forward this to Starfleet Command and get your clearances and authorization codes reinstated, and transfer command codes of the Durga back to you. I'll also ask Commander Draven to update you on all intelligence reports."

Thomas shook Janice's hand, "Welcome to the Sheepdogs."

Mike tapped a few buttons on the PADD he was holding, "Oh, before I forget that request you sent to me is approved." Mike said to Jackson.

Jackson smiled, "Thank you Mike. That will make a certain Colonel very happy."

Mike smirked, "Once they're back, we'll take care of it."
