On
Day 2 of Leaf's return to Starbase M-69 Dr Hiri introduced him to Ltjg Nic Covenant, who had also once been a Cadet aboard the Bohr.
At a small diner on the Promenade Nic nodded as they approached.
" Hello Doctor Hiri and you must be Cadet Leaf Brol?I'm Nic Covenant, operations officer on this here spinning top."
Leaf snapped to attention as Nic was a senior officer.
" Non of that here. Here I am just Nic. Have a seat and order. I'm having a caesar salad...oh I hope that isn't offensive?" Nic replied.
Leaf smiled Hiri yowled.
" What do you eat Leaf?" Nic asked.
" I make a synthetic elixir for myself. I have some bones and even teeth but my skin make up is a vegetable husk consistency. " Leaf replied.
Hiri then interrupted.
" That is a story for another day Lieutenant. What Leaf needs is some pointers before joining the academy."
Nic nodded.
" First thing is know what you want to learn. Then study like there is no tomorrow. If you fail try again. Sometimes failure is the best teacher. Get into a good study routine. One night a week stop and play a game or do something fun. I do not recommend fraternization while at the academy. Especially if you want to be an officet."
" Well unless I find a Venus fly trap that just looks good I have nothing to worry about," Leaf joked.
Hiri cupped her face.
" You hang here I am needed in sickbay," Hiri said as her com badge chirped.
Leaf complied and when Hiri was gone he sat down with Nic.
" We are both dudes, what's the fun life like here?"
" Leaf it is a station. There are rec decks,pools,holo suites you name it." Nic replied.
" Holo suites? That sounds neat." Leaf replied.
" Yeah just fill in the questionnaire on the screen and the holodeck will do the magic." Nic replied.
" Well let's go?"
" Now? I just started my dinner" Nic replied.
" Come on sir. Please."
" Fine." Nic replied as he placed the salad into the disposal.
