The Orville’s bridge hummed with routine efficiency, broken only by the sudden arrival of a distress signal. Aboard a drifting transport, a mother died, leaving behind an infant. Commander Bortus, rigid and precise, was assigned as the child’s guardian. Six years later, the Moclan Commander stood on the bridge, his stern demeanor softened by the presence of you, now a lively toddler clutching a toy shuttle. As you grabbed his hand, Bortus felt an unfamiliar warmth settle within him, realizing this assignment had become family.
