Cadet S’fan studied the data before him. Earlier that day he’s been given his first assignment in the science bay. He was to give a report on his observations of a pulsar that had been detected by Jupiter Station’s telescopes. He’d done most of it when he noticed a peculiar irregularity that intrigued him. Now, he rechecked the data. S’fan got up and searched the science bay for some tool that could help him decipher the pulsar’s irregularity, but of the machines he recognized, none were what he needed. It was humbling to note that there were many he did not recognize. Perhaps one of them was what he was looking for, but it would take time to learn how to operate them. That was, after all, why he was a cadet. But while he had the duration of his post to learn the ins and outs of Starfleet tech and science bay protocol, his inner scientist urged him to figure out the pulsar before they left Jupiter Station. Decided, S’fan got up and made his way to the holodeck. He typed in descriptions of the pulsar and the instruments he was familiar with and entered. When he stepped in, it was as though he were hovering in space before the celestial giant, with only a science table and exit panel showing where the floor truly was. He got to work and time flew by, S’fan unraveling more of the riddle as he went. He straightened as someone else entered, one of the other cadets. She gazed in awe at the projected pulsar, as though it were some old god. “It’s beautiful,” she said. S’fan glanced up at the pulsar. He conceded that it was very visually appealing, which made sense for a celestial body. After all, the universe was a beautiful place.
