"There are a number of radiations and substances that prevent transporters from working such as kelbonite. Name three other reasons." A'kilees looked up from his PADD at Andrea and gave a slight smirk.
"Magnesite, *gwark* Thoron radiation and dampening fields." A'kilees replied
"That's correct, your turn again." insisted Andrea trying to anticipate the next question. They had spent the last two hours sitting in two lounge chairs chatting and reviewing for the engineering exam and both had been equally matched, testing each other on questions. While the examinations in the holodecks were more exciting for A’kilees and the other cadets, the written practicum was no less important.
"How would you stabilize the torque buffer on a *click* impulse engine?" asked A’kilees
"By compensating with the impulse response filters. C’mon that was an easy one." complained Andrea “I know you have harder questions for me.”
“Yes but I’m out of questions, completely beat and I have more holodeck training tomorrow. I promise that we can do this another time.” A’kilees said as he packed up his stuff and placed it into his side bag. Andrea gave the saurian a disappointed look.
“You want to meet up for dinner later?” she asked as she got up and began to pack up herself “I’m supposed to meet up with Sain for Pok tar later and she’s happy for you to join.” While that did sound appealing, A’kilees shook his head.
“I appreciate *gwar* the offer but I think I’m going to pass tonight. Send my best to Sain though.” he said as he waved and walked away. Andrea smiled and returned the wave and headed towards the cafeteria. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to join his friend for vulcan food, he was still wondering about his future placement after graduation. His previous meeting with his swim meet members was still lingering in the back of his mind and they had been so confident in their paths. Unsureness wasn’t usual for him but then this decision would dictate the future of his career and aspirations at Starfleet. A’kilees opened up his PADD and began writing a message.
[Hello H’ektor, hope everything is going well with you on Sauria. I was pleased to hear from your last message that the shield development project has been progressing well. Currently in the final stages of the examination period, expecting to graduate and be to be assigned to a vessel soon. Feeling a bit overwhelmed about the prospects to be honest. I hope we can organize to talk directly soon. Be well, brother.]
