<strong>Location</strong>: ADAMS Headquarters (First Haven, Watcher’s Island). Central Command - Personal Office of Director Percival Yao<br/><strong>Date</strong>: 5 January 2099. Monday<br/><strong>Time</strong>: Afternoon<br/><strong>Who</strong>: Luke Collins<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Luke nodded and stood up.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Director. Tanaka and I can continue our conversation in the meeting room downstairs," he said. He gave one last glance to the promotion papers, then to Julie, before saluting Yao in farewell. In response, Yao waved his hand to dismiss them as he worked his way back behind his desk. Luke nodded and turned to exit the office, gesturing for Tanaka to walk with him.<br/><br/>"Truly, congratulations," Luke said, once the office doors had shut behind them. "I'm sure you know what an important responsibility you've been given, you don't need me to tell you." He intentionally avoided asking if there was anybody back home who was going to hear the news. In many pilots' cases, that answer was no.<br/><br/>"You said you had some questions?" he asked, giving the secretary a brisk nod and summoning the elevator.
