For a moment Tyra didn’t say anything. She had read plenty of personal files in her career, but this one stood out.
“What made you do it?” Tyra finally asked.
Helena considered the question carefully before answering. “I suppose the simplest answer is that God asked.”
Tyra let out a quiet breath through her nose. “That’s a pretty big career change for a conversation with God.”
Helena chuckled softly. “It wasn’t exactly a conversation.”
Tyra leaned against a shelf. “My sister says the best officers are the ones who know when they're not in control of everything. Of everything anymore.”
Helena nodded. “You sister sounds wise.”
Tyra smiled faintly. “She’d say she learned the hard way.”
Helena’s expression softened, “I think most of us do.”
They sat in companionable silence for a few moments. Then Helena tilted her head.

Love the blend of the modern equipment against the rustic room. Interesting use of scallywag.

“Tyra... may I ask you something?”
Tyra glanced over. “Sure.”
Helena folded her hands in her lap. “I’ve heard you and Cate refer to Colonel Larkin as an ‘old scallywag’.”
Tyra smiled immediately. “Oh, that.”
Helena's brow lifted slightly. “I take it there’s a story behind it.”
Tyra leaned back against the shelf, folding her arms. “There is,” She nodded and turned towards Helena.
“Back in 2010, Cate was blended with and under the control of Aspasia, who was allied with Aries. Aries attempted to attack Earth. Cate and Aspasia managed to defeat Aries, but she was gravely injured in the process. It was very bad. She was in a coma for a long time.”
Helena’s expression softened. “I’m sorry.”
Tyra shrugged gently. “She pulled through. Cate’s stubborn like that.” She smiled faintly. “Marcus stayed with us at the hospital the entire time except when he went on that mission to South America. He wouldn’t leave her side. My dad finally told him to go home and get some sleep.”
