"Feet off the desk," he snapped, his voice sharp and stern. "Why aren't you in uniform?" Somewhere along the way, it just made sense that Gabe was in the Republic, just as Niles was.

Devon to London to Copenhagen to New York and now Defiance. Always there at his side, more faithful and reliant than even Berlin.
