Not long before he went to sickbay for his physical, Jace had the 1 on 1 basketball against 18 year old Thomas Ratcliff, and he somehow managed to get through that, which was far more physical than he would have thought possible, “you’re a featherweight,” Thomas taunted on more than one occasion, usually when he bore down on Jace, before jumping for the basket. Jace’s best response was to be the first to 21. Both Trill and Human were breathing heavily by the end of it, but they agreed to do it again sometime.

But now, washed, and in a fresh uniform, Jace turned up at sickbay, ready for his boarding physical.
