The door opened silently.
A middle-aged man walked into the room, pressed his fingers to his temple, and then sat behind the desk. After pondering for a moment, he reached out to initiate a communication.
"Connect me to SSV Normandy, Commander Shepard."
"Please hold on......"
The mechanical electronic voice quickly disappeared, and after a moment, a young blonde Caucasian woman appeared on the screen in front of the man.
"Hello, Sir."
While speaking, the Caucasian woman saluted the man, who couldn't help but smile wryly at this sight.
"Alright, Commander, you don't need to salute me. I'm no longer your commanding officer, but a councilor......"
"Alright then, Councilor Anderson."
Hearing Anderson speak, Shepard quickly corrected herself. The two exchanged a smile, and then their expressions quickly turned serious.
"Commander Shepard, what is the current status of the Normandy?"
