How’d I get here? How did I enter Starfleet? You really want to know? Nothing really Bajor-shaking, honestly. I didn’t have any relative who died gloriously in battle. Okay, yeah, my father fought in the Resistance, and his father even died in the Kendra Valley Massacre, but Kanril Torvo made it out of the Occupation with his skin mostly intact and didn’t join the Militia afterward. And it wasn’t patriotism, I think, though that’s one of my reasons for staying nowadays. You want to know how I ended up in Starfleet? This is how. “Why?” That’s the only word he says. “Deal with it.” “Yes, Mother.”
