[Vulcan]
J’val was just a interested pupil as anyone learning the intricacies of life and trying to further on his education. Vulcan training as a child was quite an interesting topic as anything and J’val wanted the very best to watch the instructor push him forward, with whatever lesson he had to do. If it meant struggling through his emotions then conquering his worst fears, it was all a means of getting past the mentality.
“J’val you must see through your fears and rise above all else, if you do not conquer your emotions you are nothing but as emotional as you once were before, I am trying to teach you to get past that.” H’sva replied to J’val after watching him talk with his instructor.
“But what am I to do in any given situation, it is like I am only wanting what my mind tells me, and what my emotions want, I only see what presents itself and not what I can eventually do to see past it.” J’val motioned then looking more in tune with his emotions wanted to put his training into a mind meld session with his instructor.
“Are you absolutely positive this is the right course of action you should be doing at this phase, you are just a pupil as I was before I started emotional training. But it is your choice and I do not have deriliction to tell you otherwise. I will proceed with the meld.” H’sva replied.
“My Mind to your Mind.” As the two melded the Vulcans were intertwined with past and present events on both sides of the mind. Both could see each others mind and were interested in finding out what the others path would decide.
[J’val’s Mind]
“J’val come help your father j’sa, while I get this chair, we want you to go to Starfleet academy someday, but we also want to see you strong at the house and built mentally and physically.” K’la, mother of J’val replied as taking an interest in J’val’s future career.
“Mother I want to be a scientist, its always been a hobby of mine and I enjoyed it a lot back at the University, so this would be the chance of a lifetime, and you know me, the analytical type should be pursuing my dreams.” J’val replied.
[Vulcan]
Syncing back out of the meld it was time for both J’val and H’sva mind to close connections and to part ways for there mind and emotional training had been performed at its peek.
“I feel you are ready for what awaits you my apprentice. Go seek what you desire” H’sva replied.
[Starfleet Academy]
Arriving at the Academy, J’val had taken the shuttle from Vulcan and had eventually landed at the starport nearby. Looking out and grabbing his bags he saw new cadets arrive and he was interested in starting his path of training.
“What a beautiful place, but I must control these emotions for now, as my instructor has forbade me from saying anything that would derilict me from acting rational.” J’val replied then walking out of the shuttle he walked onto academy steps and into the academy itself.
Seeing the nearest academy personnel available at the foothold of the academy, he took the moment to introduce himself and to report in.
“Cadet J’val reporting in, requesting interest in Science training.”

Three cadets; there were three cadets training at the same time and Naois was starting to feel a little overwhelmed. At best he had one at the time, where now he had three. "Greetings," he answered, as he gestured back to his office.
The Vulcan captain had just come back from his morning jog around the deck and his hair was lying flat against his face. "Please excuse my appearance," he said, gesturing to his grey jumpsuit with the teal bar across the chest. "You caught me just before going on duty. What can I do for you?"
He glanced the Vulcan cadet over. "At ease cadet, before you sprain something. I am Captain Naois Mercy, and if you are to train here, then you have reported to the correct person. I am both academy commandant and station's counselor. You are...?"
The Vulcan frowned. "Oh yes, you just introduced yourself." He gestured towards his office. "Please wait here while I freshen up a little."
A few minutes later, hair still damp from the quick shower, Naois stepped back into the office, this time wearing a crisp and clean teal uniform, 4 gold pips neatly attached to his collar. "Science training," he read from his PADD. "Tell me more about why you chose science."

Looking back at the Commandant and then having a gesture on his face, the Vulcan was keen in telling him about the reason for joining. “Interesting question, I chose science because I had an interest back on vulcan, and through that interest it eventually turned into a hobby. I would start by watching things move slowly in the air, and question them, always wondering why they did what they did, then with some writing material I would carefully make annotations in my journal about the things that I had experienced along the way, it was fun and enjoyable back on vulcan and a time of adventure. The things you would see are simply amazing and the people you meet would rest in your mind, in time you would meet them again.”
“So in essence to your question, that is why I chose to pursue a career in science and have a field of open study which would envelop me with a never ending supply of knowledge so that I would never give up on whatever I chose to do.” J’val replied
“Learning is something that should never stop and should never be put on testing, it is a process of gaining the material through the knowledge already gained and then evolving by going up the steps and conquering the lessons that you were often challenged with.” J’val queried.
“My instructor often put it to me to put mind over matter, the mind is an important tool and should be used at all times, emotion is something that could be controlled and you could eventually learn to surpass what you know already, and be better and stronger, as an individual. Not perfection mind you. He wanted me to excel and grasp the idea of excelling further by getting the ideas and wanting things which motivated me. Kind of like my hobby and interest in science.”
“I want to enjoy my science field and would carry forth the path of incurring knowledge as my main goal, so that if I were not to know something I would eventually look the word or meaning up and get that. So that is why im here, and I want to start training with you if possible.”
J’val waited anxiously as the academy commandant looked him over giving him the necessary preparations needed before he was admitted into the Starfleet academy.
“So when do I start, and where do I go from here.” J’val replied.

"It is your fortune then that I am to be your instructor," Naois replied softly, raising an eyebrow. "What would you have done if you had been assigned a human instructor? Or a Klingon?"
The Vulcan was curious to hear a response to that. He rose from his seat and handed the slightly younger man a PADD. "Cabin number, personnel number and security clearances are listed on this PADD. Report to holodeck three in one hour, you have until then to get settled in your quarters."
He watched as his science cadet left, wondering if this one would be as challenging as the Kzinti had been. He had an hour before he had to be at the holodeck, time enough to finish his message to his wife. Naois sat back down and switched his computer terminal back on, accessing the half-finished message. Once it was sent, he seated himself cross-legged on the comfortable couch, rested his hands on his legs and closed his eyes. His breathing evened out as he entered a meditative state, only to be wakened forty-five minutes later.
He now had fifteen minutes to get to the holodeck, so he decided to head there at a leasurely pace, since he had plenty of time. He felt refreshed and ready to take on the challenge of guiding a science cadet.
"Computer, load science scenario four. Difficulty level two, pose astrometrics problem correlated with terraforming project on an O-class planet."
=^=Program ready=^= the computer responded.
As the doors opened, Naois found himself standing on a fairly large island, surrounded by turqoise oceans. The air was feeling damp though it was cold. The sky was a deep red, the sun being the oddity. There were two suns, and orbiting the planet was a dual moon.
Turning, he glanced his cadet over as he entered. "We are on Osborn," he explained, "twin sun, twin moon, oceanic planet. It is being terraformed to increase landmass. The dual moon however is posing a challenge, as the tides are working against the terraformers. Your challenge is to come up with a way to terraform this planet, without hindrance of the tides. Additionally, I need you to explain the red sky, as it is normally deep blue in colour."

“I would have dealt with a the race that has the opposing characteristics and not that’s of my own, they have emotions that become a hindrance when they want it too, but humans and klingons alike can usually learn to control there emotions quite well, just not as well as vulcans can so that make the vulcan society so hesistant to work with them because they are so emotional about things. I was once a very energetic vulcan who did not have any control over myself until I learned from my instructor back at the vulcan academy, he taught me to learn meditation and emotional control of ones being.” J’val queried
“Thank you Captain, I will head there immediately to get antiquated with my surroundings, for now it was definitely a nice run around to meet you on the first go. And I will meet you at deck three in one hour like you requested before.” the vulcan nodded then walked out of the commandants office and to his cabin, cabin number 1453, his personel number was 1578, and security clearance being coded as cadet. Looking around he found the library hall and a few cadet quarters nearby but didn’t find it interesting to plunder into other cadets quarters he was more interested in starting the mission.
Reading more into the PaDD that he was given he looked it over quite well and annotated it to his best knowledge reviewing it, and taking everything into consideration. He was now part of the academy and a science trainee who would eventually be put aboard a ship with a stable crew. The more he read he found out that the cadet rank was very prestigious within Starfleet even though it was the starting rank within the united federation of planets, it was a chance to put on your footings and have the ability to control what you did in the academy and many accomplished individuals started at this stage that he was doing just now.
Making his way to Cabin 1453, he pressed the terminal next to the door and watched as the sliding door opened, walking in, he dropped his gear and sat on the bed for a moment catching his breath and giving him a chance to cope with the academy environment. He thoroughly enjoyed where he was now. After getting his cadet uniform from the logistics personnel he put the uniform on and looked at himself for a moment before leaving.
“Time to get to training, im ready for what awaits me.” J’val queried as he made his way out the door and to the Holodeck three.
Entering, he saw the Commandant load the new program and respond with the program ready tune.
“Terraforming interesting topic, I shall endeavor everything I know about the geological and environmental in this training exercise. It would seem that to start we would need to focus our attention on the moon and what rotation they had played around the planetoid. Secondly with the rotation, I would deduct from reasoning that temperature and tide change would take place, but it is for me to stop that tidal change from happening, as to the red sky either morning or night it may be due to the setting of the sun or sunrise. With it comes temperature changes and high water content in the atmosphere which creates the red sky effect.”

With it comes temperature changes and high water content in the atmosphere which creates the red sky effect.”
"The two moons are in synchronous orbit around this planet," Naois supplied, "at an arc of ninety-five degrees from planet center at eachother. Furthermore the axis of this planet is at fifteen degrees, orbit around the twin suns takes two-hundred eightyone standard days. One local day takes twenty-one standard hours."
He listened as the cadet gave a further analysis and nodded in approval. "Temperature and tide do change, also season changing. During the day, temperature ranges from fifteen to forty degrees between spring and summer and has a range from fifteen to well below zero from fall to winter. We are currently in early spring and at midday."
The cadet was giving a detailed analysis, true to his Vulcan nature. "Your task is to analyse which continents would best be increased in size as watermass needs to be reduced. As such, we will create a tidal change, though we have the danger of creating a tidal wave. Actually, this is a very likely possebility. We will proceed to a later terraforming stage when you are ready reporting how we should proceed on this project."

“To determine the continent size potential due to tidal wave expenditure, we would need the appropriate tools at our footholds, since you have created the simulation just now from the holodeck, you could also create some kind of device for us to simulate a virtual tidal wave with the environmental and geophysical taking place all at once, a very likely option, and one that you have the command codes for to initiate for the program. Once we have that in place, we can simulate the tidal wave, watching its devastation as it were, causing many climate and temperature changes across this planetoid.” The vulcan motioned as he approached the commandant with the information.
“I would also suggest we get to a safer area away from so called “devastation” as it were, it could kill our simulated bodies but end up destroying everything that was around us. If we could also create some kind of structure that were to protect ourselves from the increasing tidal change, we could watch as this would take place before our very eyes.” J’val queried.
“There are many things around us that we could watch for in the event, while this is happening, with the moons in synchronous orbit, we could analyse the effect of the rotation as it were, giving the a comprehensive detail of what exactly the rotation had on the tidal wave itself as it hit a rocky surface to the point of another continent. The changes would be noted in a log.” J’val replied.
“I am also hoping we could start watching the sky as its every changing. With it being red now, we may see it changing colors while the event takes place so that we can later pinpoint why this new sky and weather change occurred due to tidal wave expenditure.”
J’val wanted to find everything there was to this phenomenon as it were, the climate, the weather, temperature, the geological and physical were all going to change once any slight change in outer moon orbit or water fixation were to take place, so the vulcan needed to pay close attention.
“If at all possible we could even simulate other civilizations on there continents and watch as something as catastrophic were taking place in a terraforming project, to roughly analyse the potential danger of such an event, so that way we know what exactly to do if we were aboard a ship and needed to get civilians off there planet to get an operation this seismic complete, in the end people would be saved and a successful planetary change could effectively take place.”
J’val began to wonder about the ramifications of such an operation like this, were actually taking place. Then he reverted back to talking with the commandant.

Naois never ceased to be amazed by the keenness of the Vulcan intellect. He had seen his mother answer questions without hesitation, where his father had needed a few seconds to think on an answer. Equally though, he had seen his father react to situations his mother did not know how to deal with. "I do need to inform you that the holodeck safeties are off," he lied, though he didn't blink once when he said it. He wanted to see how much risk his cadet was willing to take, with the assumption that the situation was real. The knowledge of the safeties being on, in Naois' experience, lulled people into a false sense of security.
"However I do approve of your suggestions and therefor give you the approval to proceed to the next step. You may proceed with your proposal."
He watched with keen interest to see what the slightly younger man would do next. "You mentioned introducing civilisations, however we should first watch this planet being terraformed, before we can hypothesise over the effect it may have on the ecosystem and possible future inhabitants. However, I do believe we should move to somewhat higher ground. Can you swim, Cadet J Val, for I know either way we will at least get our feet wet and quite likely, more."

“Higher ground you say, alright, if it so that this tidal wave will expunge everything from where we are standing, then it would be the more likely option to advance upward seeing as the direction of the wave would impend right in our standard walking distance causing us to move erratically and possibly die under the harshness of the wave itself as it moves into ground and makes its way upward, so it would be strongly advised we seek that option and protect ourselves, a mind is useless without thought if destroyed, but a mind alive and thinking is a powerful tool. Lets get moving shall we.” J’val queried.
“On the notion of getting the body entirely engulfed in water and being able to swim, I can move my body in open water, and propel myself with both arms and the movements of my legs, I have had some physical training back on vulcan to get me ready for things of this magnitude, and swimming has been something like riding a bike or reading a book while on my homeworld, it would be a dialy exercise, and im quite used to it.” J’val replied.
As the two of them made there way up to higher ground they watched as the tidal wave started it movements towards the surface, and J’val began to take careful notice of its every move. “Watch as the wave moves it, it is literally destroying everything that is coming towards it, or moving already, the wave is massive and I could imagine already that all life down to the bottom have been demolished as a repocution of the event, and bacterial forms would need to regenerate as life would seize to exist on lower ground in the impending wave. As we continue to make our way upwards, we can only watch and wait for the wave to subside and fade back to the ocean realm.”
The water from the tidal wave was continuing upwards as it had made it strike on the rocky surfaces of the ground, as it continued to push into the surface, the more water would make its way up. Now J’val was literally covered up to the waist in the mucky water the had traveled from the lowest point, but it later subsided after they had reached a higher point of ground.
“Now that the tidal wave has been dealt with, we can now dry ourselves off and begin the secondary phase of testing. Shall we now put through a simulated civilation on the nearby continent as we watch from a distance, the effects of the aftermath of the recent tidal wave.” J’val replied
Hearing the commandants firm reply, he asked the terminal to engage the simulation for a civilation on the nearby continent while they watched the events take place. “They seem to move very quickly when danger is nearby and can create for themselves a standard level of safety around them with the material provided.”

As they climbed up, Naois was caught in the wave and thrown along a few meters before he regained his footing. Soaking wet, he stared back in the general direction to where his cadet was looking, listening as the man talked. "I would imagine that fish would have survived as well, if any were present," he commented dryly, while wringing out the water from his tunic to the best of his abilities.
"However you seem correct in your assessment. What is your next stage of planning? Presuming a second tidal wave will not be caused by further activities on your part."

“I would suggest we start terraforming the planetoid, it would be a task undertaken by both of us, and we can use that terminal there provided that we have enough energy, to conduct such an operation of such caliber. Once it has been initiated I will make careful observations as well and annotations to the terraforming project, to give a general analysis about the reasons one might need to perform such a operation, and what the effects are on the planet.” J’val commented.
“Also, I would roughly annotate, that given by prior information in the academy hall, it would seem that terraforming projects have been conducted before, on other planetoids and the effects have been quite astronomical in proportions. While on vulcan I have gained some knowledge about the geographical aspect of the happenings of such an event. It is more like a big bang actually, but in a smaller instance on a planet.” J’val replied.
“The Planets core would heat up to deadly levels, where life would not exist and storms would ignite all over, with many volcano’s and water disruptions happening across the globe. With the coming occurrence there would also be seismic earthquakes that would shatter upon coming against another surface, and water along with tidal waves, would plunge together, and create bacterial forms to exist in a smaller view point. With that happening, the planetoid would end its changes and start to go through a temperature and geographical stop, to give life a chance to grow, and then start a process of smaller occurrences of temperature and physical changes to the planet. Thereby finishing the terraforming project.” J’val replied then walked around to make another deduction.
“I believe it would be possible that this would happen if we were to conduct the terraforming project, but we would need to get to a safer place, or in a prism that encloses us from danger of that magnitude, if you wouldn’t mind then I would like that we should continue by starting with this, but ensuring that we are safe as well.” J’val replied.
“If you have the command codes, and could relay to the console, please tell it to commence the terraforming project after a prism of safety has been initiated.” J’val replied.

Safety was of course their priority, therefor Naois issued the command and a sphere appeared around them, safeguarding them from the destruction going on around them. "Initiate terraforming project," he ordered, then watched the inferno around them, slowly turning the lifeless soil into a richer environment where eventually all sorts of creatures could thrive.
Though safely inside the sphere, the Vulcan could feel the heat from the air around them, and with a little imagination he could actually feel the wind score his skin. "How much longer?" he asked, turning towards the other Vulcan, "and I would have you hypothesise on which species would thrive here. originally this was a water planet, which will now have more landmass. Humidity at approximately forty percent average, oxygen-based atmosphere."
Though he wouldn't voice it, Naois was quite impressed with this particular cadet. He expressed knowledge on terraforming projects and keen scientific intellect, as was expected of purebred Vulcans at least. "You seem to be well versed on this type of research," he said after a long silence, "I would propose this to Starfleet for further exploration. You may wish to write a paper on this."

As the sphere unleashed itself before the commandant and the j’val looked in wonderment as the protecting shield enclosed them from anything that would cause a hindrance to them and for them to proceed with the project, after it had been placed, the commandant had iniated the program and J’val continued to watch as the terraforming began before his very eyes. It was turning it exactly as he had proposed in his deduction, the environment was going through insurmountable changes and it was taking place rather quickly. Heat levels were rising as well.
“Well it shouldn’t take much longer than a day for the planetoid to form, it needs to get its shape, and have all the essentials and building blocks to create substantial breathing space and water vacuums for sustainable life and creation. We should watch it closely as it does its climate and water changes. It will be a interesting site to see.”
“As for the species being created here, there would be amphibian life at start, that would eventually grow up to ape and then man.” The vulcan replied.
After thinking about the commandants inquiry, J’val needed time to react and think again. “Yes that is what I will do, this will prove one piece to the terraforming puzzle and how to go about conquering the question and what exactly happens between geographical and temperaturate environmental changes. It will prove beneficial to Starfleet research.” J’val queried.

"How are you so certain life here will develop according to human standards?" Naois asked as he watched nature develop at a fast pace before their eyes. "For all we know, nothing develops here beyond fish, and the planet will just be colonised afterwards. After all, terraforming projects are usually performed to make a planet suitable for colonisatio. This project is no different."
When the process had run its course, the sphere disappeared and Naois could basically smell the fresh air. "No pollution..yet," he commented dryly, "imagine what will happen if humans colonise this planet. In general, they have no respect for nature to begin with."
The Vulcanoid turned back to his Vulcan cadet. "I assume you are aware I am but half Vulcan?"

"For all we know, nothing develops here beyond fish, and the planet will just be colonised afterwards. After all, terraforming projects are usually performed to make a planet suitable for colonisatio. This project is no different."[/yellow]
“You are true, its very possible that life forms will not work with the situations in which we live in day to day, and they have to find there own means of surviving, with the abilities and resources available to them, I wouldn’t want them to go unhindered and start to die immediately, I would want life after the terraforming project to coexist with that of the humans but it will be a long process before anything can happen and for that you are correct in your analysis.”
“I seem to have gone wrong it misjudging some of the things about the terraforming and trying to concentrate most it on quickly upon the colonization of the humans rather than focusing on the basis of the progression of growth as a whole for life that would evolve without the humans beings here or having them here.” J’val noted.
[yellow]When the process had run its course, the sphere disappeared and Naois could basically smell the fresh air. "No pollution..yet," he commented dryly, "imagine what will happen if humans colonise this planet. In general, they have no respect for nature to begin with."[/yellow]
Listening further to the commandants assertion, J’val took a moment to think it over and then to hypothesize on his deduction. “That may very well be true, and the human society that will grow and use the resources available on the new planet will think of it as an after resource and begin to use it for there general benefit rather than help the planet as a whole, it is more important that they concentrate there efforts on the establishment on a clean and efficient coexistent environment.”
[yellow]The Vulcanoid turned back to his Vulcan cadet. "I assume you are aware I am but half Vulcan?"[/yellow]
“Yes I have noticed that you have put forward some vulcan intellect in this matter, and have shown me some things and gone through this with careful observation only to judge and to provide further detail on the promise that my own backround and analysis would hopefully be correct in the end.” J’val noted.
“If we are both vulcan, this is a good relationship you and I, I feel I will get to know you more by the more challenges facing me and the more intellect I grow with and with that, I will be able to come to you for further advisement, it almost seems like you are that of my vulcan instructor back at vulcan. He often pushed me to such limits, and would show me things that I was going to progress through.” J’val replied
“In this terraforming experiement I would hope after some time of fish and water based life coexisting in harmony, that someday, we could see a possible colonization but with science teams first to analyze the vast information, then provide the means to whichever civilization came to rise on the planetoid.” J’val commented.

"Infinite diversity in infinite combinations," Naois idly quoted the IDIC, "may people of any species coexist here in harmony. And may many species be involved in your terraforming hypothesis, for this will be done one day, sooner than you might think."
The older man turned back towards his younger trainee. "I do believe you should submit your proposal to Starfleet, it does have merit." A compliment, coming from a Vulcan. "Did you have any further questions? Anything else you wish to explore, scientifically speaking?"

“That’s how it should be always, a universe coexisting and having a perfect balance of the natural and physical is what is hopefully in the end what is all tried to be accomplished across any galaxy in a form or fashion.” J’val commented.
“I will look forward to this terraforming hypothesis if it does take place, because I will be able to hopefully oversee what happens in the scientific analysis and the aspects of the operation in detail.” J’val replied.
[yellow] The older man turned back towards his younger trainee. "I do believe you should submit your proposal to Starfleet, it does have merit." A compliment, coming from a Vulcan. "Did you have any further questions? Anything else you wish to explore, scientifically speaking?" [/yellow]
“I will definitely consider doing just that, and upon graduation bring this matter toward my department head, if not available my executive officer, so that I would follow proper chain of command and procedure aboard the ship, and not go directly to the commanding officer for something such as this, that way the proper individuals could relay my inquiry before the head individuals and go before Starfleet for submittal and go before a council for deliberation.”
“As to this experiment and to my questions regarding it, I believe you have answered everything that I require, to the inquiry about exploration in another simulation, I would like to try commencing a operation involving the inhabitants of earth, with the sun becoming a ever increasing problem, of gamma radiation, what I would propose is that we could solve that problem and possibly help bring before Starfleet a inquiry on how gamma radiation is a problem on all levels of the spectrum.” J’val waited and looked at the commandant for the reply.

"We shall go through such a scenario when you visit Resurrection during one of your shoreleaves," Naois commented dryly. "Computer, end program." Their surroundings vanished with a swirl of colours, only to be replaced by the black and yellow grid of an inactive holodeck. "Right now, you have earned your rest, and I need to attend to other duties. Meet me in my office in three hours."
Issuing the other Vulcan a light bow, Naois exited the holodeck and returned to his quarters. He was tired and he had been looking forward to having a conversation with his wife while she was on the Dark Phoenix. Unfortunately, that would have to wait until later, until he was sufficiently rested. He knew, if she would see him now, she would worry endlessly and only make him promise to rest more and longer.
As it was, it had been at least a day since he last had any rest; he had only just graduated his Romulan cadet, and he still had a Human to attend to on another holodeck. At least soon he would be down to only the one cadet. With a sigh, he settled himself on the couch with a mug of hot tea, a special blend Valeia had programmed into their replicator and one that he admitted to enjoying.
Leaning back, he reflected on the Vulcan's training course; the cadet was certainly bright and quick of mind, with a capability to think logically and efficiently as was due his purebred heritage. Though half-Vulcan himself, and possessing a logical mind, Naois also found himself resorting to 'hunches' and 'gut-reaction' when needed. His human half, he always thought, though he had known his mother to resort to the same process during his youth. Naois knew he wasn't just a halfbreed, and knew his mother was nearly purebred Vulcan. Somewhere in his lineage, Naois knew one of his ancestors to be Debrune, though whether it was a male or female, they had never been able to discover, but that tiny part of Debrune DNA accounted for his lineage's ability to reasonably understand emotion and deal with it when needed.
Three hours later, Naois walked back into his office, feeling refreshed and somewhat rested. Wearing a clean uniform, he seated himself at his desk, expecting Cadet J'Val to enter any second. The black box sat ready on the desk, together with a PADD and an authentic paper roll. "Cadet J'Val, it is my privilege to announce that you have successfully completed the last part of your academy training. You are hereby promoted to the rank of ensign and are to report to the USS Dark Phoenix where you shall be assigned as science officer. Your immediate superior shall be Ensign Tak Science, a Kzinti who also trained with me. You may find his point of view...challenging at best."
