Zackary smiled as he passed a crewman whilst he made his way to his next stop; the psychiatric offices. On a medical ship, it seemed there was no ‘Ship’s Counsellor’, and that psychiatry was practised here as a discipline in its own right. It made a lot of sense.
The Betazoid stepped forward to a desk with a crewman behind it, he didn’t want to go pressing random door-chimes just incase someone was mid-session. “Excuse me, crewman. I have just arrived and wanted to report for my psychological evaluation. Do I need an appointment? Or can I wait?
His exit psychological assessment had been sent to his new post prior to his arrival. It read:
‘Zackary Alexander is a pleasant, well mannered young man.
‘He has no past or present history of psychological ill health, and has never failed a psychological assessment.
‘Zackary was born on Earth and adopted when he was a baby by a Human couple. His mother had died of Darnay’s disease shortly after Zackary’s birth, and entered the adoption service, being picked up almost immediately (no biological father on record; mother had the child independently).
‘Due to him being born on Earth and raised by Human parents, Zackary’s exposure to his racial culture is less than I would have liked to see. He has the full range of telepathic and empathic abilities of a Betazoid, but growing up, I get the impression he was told it was ‘rude’ to read people’s minds, or feel their emotions. I feel strongly that Zackary should take some time to get to know the culture of his people a little better and maybe interact with fellow Betazoids whenever possible.
‘My only note of concern is that Zackary is deflective when talking about his birth mother, and though I did attempt on a few occasions to engage with him in this, he was unwilling. Since it had no apparent bearing on his behaviour or his professionalism, I see no reason not to give Cadet Zackary Alexander a positive report on his graduation from Starfleet Academy, and wish him well on his new posting.’
