I wonder what Captain Quincy is like. I wonder if there are any “other” Bajorans on board…or any Cardassians. I wonder if I’ll meet any Cardassians someday? What would that be like? What if I meet Borg? What if I forget Admiral Janeway’s tactics for fighting Borg? What if I don’t meet the Borg and I took that entire course for nothing and wasted time I could have spent in that Advanced Warp Theory class? My mind is racing again, I have to stop that. Calm down. I’m a first officer now! Calm. Sign in, then go to the bridge and report to the captain. Everything will be fine.

I can’t believe it! My first assignment, and I am assigned to the USS Pioneer as first officer! Me, a cadet! It’s so exciting! Ok, so I am a little nervous…but look at this, it’s a real starship! I’m second in command of this…it’s overwhelming! Ok, I’ ve got to look official.
