“Of course.” Korczak responded. “That is all of the records I wanted to discuss at this time… so now let us talk about you. May as well get your assessment done while you are here, yes?” and he crossed one leg over the other and smiled slightly.

Korczak, CNS

“What is that saying, ‘I am an open book.’ Not really, more like a old closed dusty tome sitting on a back self.” She sipped her coffee over a grin at her own awkward humor. “Where do you want to start?” She was old there was a lot they could talk about.
Rende, CO

“Wherever you like.” came the measured reply with a small smile of his own. “I often find it better to let the one being assessed do the heavy lifting… at least at the beginning.” and he chuckled. “But, if you need a nudge… then start by telling me about why you want to be the Captain of a star ship?”

Korczak, CNS

“No nudge needed but to answer your question, I don’t. I was retired, happily annoying my husband with a daily honey-do-list and visiting archeological sites around Earth when I wanted. I did the command track at Academy a long time ago because it suited me but I never desired a ship of my own. I owed the admiral a favor.” She sipped her coffee. Not bad but it wasn’t Eldorin’s. “Ireland. That one word encompasses so much. It’s where I finally grew up and where I will always go home too, and where I learned that I can’t repair past mistakes but I can do better.”
Rende, CO

Korczak’s face remained passive, but when Rende finished he said “You owed the Admiral a favor… I see. Do you think that, rather than having been dedicated to the goal of Command, that you may be hindered in anyway?”

Korczak, CNS

“Yes, that’s how they got me out of retirement.” Rende considered his question. “As I said I have completed the command track. But I also said that I never desired a ship. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t want a command. There are other areas to command than ships. From 2302 to 2367 I served as head of Star Fleet security for the Sol region. I loved it. Getting to work with younger officers; coordinating with ships and star bases, and other locations; providing training; advising. So no I don’t think that I never wanted a ship will hinder me. It won’t be the first time I have had to sit in the big chair and make decisions. But we all have things that hinder us. And that’s why we have counselors on board now, to make sure we don’t succumb to them and are aware of them. For me it would be my concern that I will succumb to my arrogance in thinking that I know better because I am so long lived.”

Rende, CO
