As Gabriel entered the auditorium, people he passed could see his pale complexion caused by the nausea from his stress. He had struggled to sleep the previous night due to the anticipation he felt for this particular day. Four years of hard work at the Academy had taught him a lot about engineering, but if he wanted to fulfill his dream of serving on a Starfleet vessel, he now had to complete his final exam.
As he moved towards the admission area, he saw the portraits of great and famous captains of the past. Seeing Jonathan Archer's portrait, his thoughts turned to his hero, the first engineer of the first Enterprise to explore our corner of the galaxy, Charles Tucker III. Gabriel's mother, an engineer herself, had told him stories of the engineers of the past. Growing up learning the history of these great men was what had motivated Gabriel to join Starfleet Academy and explore the stars himself.
Feeling a bit better and having regained some color, Gabriel straightened his uniform and his posture while waiting patiently in line behind another cadet. He was now feeling a little bit more confident as it was his turn. Gabriel approached the superintendent of the Academy, Captain Maddie Allen.
"Cadet Lachance, reporting for assignment, sir!" he declared confidently, albeit with a slight crack in his voice at the end.
