PREVIOUSLY in STARFLEET ACADEMY... In the year 2258, Cadet Uhura tracks an unusual audio signal to Wagner-219, a classified region of deep space. But when Cadet Chekov deems their investigation too risky, Uhura seeks assistance from an unlikely source—Jim Kirk. Together, the two have manipulated their way into a restricted Starfleet archive... and the verge of discovery! Three years later, T'Laan watches as her fellow cadets participate in the Federation's Centennial Competition. Despite Shev's unsatisfactory display in a phaser match, the admirable perfomances of Cadets Gonzalez and Chen have propelled them into the lead. But even as their team begins to bond, a campus party reminds T'Laan just how alone she truly is. written by
