Introduction
The Enterprise is in orbit of Relva VII to deliver Wesley Crusher to his entrance exam for Starfleet Academy. While there, Captain Picard meets an old friend, Admiral Gregory Quinn. Instead of a friendly reunion, however, the admiral, with the assistance of the uptight Commander Remmick, is here to convene an inquisition on Picard's ability to command. How will Wesley and Captain Picard face their respective tests?
"It's a good thing you're cute, Wesley. Otherwise, this really crappy matte painting would be distracting me the whole day."
