Shinari, Aldred's trusted friend and confidante, entered the command center as Vortimer relayed Aldred's request. Her piercing blue eyes surveyed the bustling room before locking onto Vortimer. "Where does Aldred want to go?" she inquired, her tone a mix of concern and curiosity.
Vortimer, still projecting the holographic display of the impending demonic threat, turned his metallic head toward Shinari. "Commander Aldred wishes to clear his mind and stretch his muscles. He's leaving his post temporarily, and he has requested you to take over."
Shinari nodded in understanding. "Understood. Tell him I'll manage things here. And if he needs anything, he knows where to find me."
With a swift nod, Vortimer left the command center to execute Aldred's orders. Shinari took Aldred's place at the central console, immediately addressing the ongoing challenges faced by the emissaries across the galaxy.
