“And that was the third time I got kicked out of the Academy.”

“Did you ever graduate?” Samuel Greene felt like he had been listening to this man’s story for hours. Naturally, it couldn’t have been that long, as the yarn has only started when Samuel had entered the turbolift. The man telling the story had not even introduced himself, he just launched into a long narrative of his past. He was not dressed in a Starfleet uniform, he looked more like he could be retired from service and just assumed Samuel would know who he was, so the cadet didn’t want to insult him by actually asking.

Mercifully the turbo lift stopped, and Samuel excused himself as politely but as quickly as he could. He then checked the time, knowing how confidential these sessions were, he didn’t want to come at the wrong moment. Satisfied, Samuel approached the Counsellor’s office and pressed the call control.
