Location: Office of Colonel Tobias Bishop III

:: ON::

Del made his way through the halls. He needed help. He was hoping to find it in the Colonel. He fixed his fresh uniform. He had cleaned up just for this visit. You didnt go asking favors with out dressing up to kiss a little bum. He wasted no time. Time was something he had little of at the moment as he still needed to go meet back up with the ships diplomat to learn about the Talgarians and the Korolin. Okay so maybe he had two reasons for dressing up. He respected this one so why not make a good impression. He hit the chime with his free hand. The other clutched a padd.

"Come." Tobias said in answer to the request to enter his office.

Del came in his face was neutral but his tone was as always soft and polite. "I apologies for coming unannounced but I have an urgent favor to ask of you please." Del said upon entering. If this went well he would be able to get Thomas and Martha here in the next week or so. He was hoping between Kai and Cassi that Yani would find a way to keep it together until then.

"Well, I cannot answer what you have yet to ask." The Colonel answered.

"I need you to help me push a transfer through." Del stepped forward and handed the service record of Thomas. I also require permission for family housing for the Zang family as the Marines in question are not officers I need your permission to move them to special housing as well."

"What is so unusual about that request that you need me to intervene?"

"Permission to speak freely Colonel?" Del asked.

"Granted, within reason." the Colonel responded.

Del nodded. "My alfa team and I, well we seem to have become an unpopular lot with a few of the Admiralty. about two years ago we stumbled onto a lil something that I am not allowed to disclose even to you Colonel. Lets just say shortly after they took my former XO Captain Thomas Zang from me and busted him down to a private first class with out reason. They replaced him with Zymbus my more recently late XO." He said the last with a mixture of anger and pain creeping into it. "And now every transfer order I have applied to have him returned to my team is denied. There is never a given reason for it. It is simply denied. every appeal goes with out reply." He let out a deep sigh.

"I was thinking not many people are aware of my current reassignment to this station. If we move quickly and if you put in the application for a transfer it is my hope that it will be granted. Or at least that is the hope. The station he is on is a science station it does not even have a compliment of Marines. It makes no logical since for him to be where he is anyways. He has a daughter she is three years old who has not seen her mother in two of those years. Not physically anyways. If we cant get him Id like to at least send for her her name is Martha Marie Zang her file is attached to his. If Thomas... I mean Private first class Zang agrees to it I can send some one to collect her."

"I find your mission both admirable and humanitarian. Give me the transfer, and I will process it right away." Tobias agreed.

"Thank you." Del said there was a hopefulness to his eyes as he handed the request forms over. He had been careful to leave him own name off from them. If they caught wind that he had a hand in this it would all be for nothing. "I will see to the personal matters such as housing and childcare and the sort. I have no words to express how thankful I am for your help in this matter."

Tobias smiled, "It is my pleasure. It is not often I had the chance to use my position to do something good and noble."
