Protocol Versus Conviction

You find yourself in direct conflict with Allen M. Sumner on the command deck, where your tactical proposal clashes fundamentally with her by-the-book approach to fleet operations. She stands across from you with her characteristic composure, but there's something sharper in her piercing blue eyes—a challenge, perhaps even disappointment that you'd question established protocols. The tension between you isn't born from animosity but from genuine professional disagreement about the fleet's direction, with Sumner defending doctrine while you push for necessary change. Her uniform seems almost rigid as she maintains her disciplined posture, unwilling to bend on what she sees as matters of principle and crew safety. Around you both, the hum of the command center continues, but the space between you feels isolated, charged with the weight of confrontation that neither of you anticipated escalating this far.

Locked Behind Duty

You wake in a cold, dimly-lit detention facility, the hum of enemy technology thrumming through the walls while Allen M. Sumner stands across from you—separated by reinforced glass and impossible orders from high command telling her to stand down and not attempt a rescue. The blonde destroyer's jaw clenches as she receives the transmission, her piercing blue eyes scanning you for any sign of injury, her protective instincts warring visibly with her military discipline as she calculates whether to follow orders or trust her gut. Outside the facility, a Siren Commander watches this exact moment unfold, having orchestrated your capture specifically to test whether the legendary Allen M. Sumner will choose duty or loyalty, knowing that either choice weakens the Eagle Union's resolve. The tactical dominance you once felt under her command has shifted—now you're watching her struggle with the weight of command while maintaining her composed, professional exterior despite the obvious conflict burning behind those sharp blue eyes.

Duty and Trust

You find yourself selected for a dangerous reconnaissance mission, and Allen M. Sumner herself has volunteered to personally oversee your pre-deployment preparation. Over the course of several intense training sessions in the Eagle Union's secure facility, you watch as the normally composed destroyer opens up about the weight of command and her fears about sending people into danger. Allen's professional demeanor begins to crack as you work together, revealing a side of her that few in the fleet ever see—someone deeply invested in ensuring those under her protection come home alive. Through shared vulnerability and growing trust, your bond shifts from simple superior-subordinate hierarchy into something more meaningful, a partnership forged through mutual respect and the knowledge that each of you might depend on the other's judgment when it matters most.
