Dammit man, I'm a teacher, not a secretary!
CIVILIAN LIFE:
Q1. Name: Innochka (Инночка)
Q2. How did you find out about Elite of the Fleet? I do not recall. I have had the link bookmarked and due to a hectic few days have just gotten around to filling it out.
Q3. When did you first become interested in Star Trek? I have loved space my entire life and used to watch Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and TNG as a child. I always knew of TOS but didn't start watching until 2009. Star Trek XI really re-ignited my love.
Q4. Why have you decided to join Elite of the Fleet? It has always been a dream of mine to be a member of Starfleet.
Q5. Who is your favourite Star Trek character? Ensign Chekov - I love Russians. So much of my knowledge of Russia was learned from him, however misguided it may be.
Q6. And the least? Captain Janeway. I cannot pinpoint a specific reason for her being my least favourite, as I don't particularly dislike her, but someone must be last.
Q7. Which television (or film) series is your favourite? TOS and the Reboot are both wonderful. Shatner's book "Collision Course" is also exceptional.

STARFLEET LIFE:
Q8. What do you hope to gain from your service in Starfleet? I long to share the experiences of completing Starfleet missions with others. I have never seen myself as a good fit for the military, but my love and knowledge of space make me an ideal candidate for this program.
Q9. Is there any occupation in Starfleet you feel you would be particularly unsuited for? I should not be allowed at the helm under any circumstances. Trust me.
Q10. The four current Academic Tracks at the Academy are Tactics, Operations, Exploratory Sciences and Medical Sciences. Describe how you could be an asset to each of these departments.
Tactical: I have a keen sense of direction and am a born leader.
Operations: I am good at math, a great negotiator, and multi-lingual. I expect I will excel in Xenolinguistics.
Exploratory Sciences: Science has always been one of my better subjects, and astronomy is quite a pastime.
Medical: I love analyzing the way people think. Criminology is a passion of mine and serial killers a hobby.
Q11. What are your top five strengths?
01. I have exceptional people skills. I act as a mediator to many harsh situations.
02. I am a born leader.
03. I have knowledge of the harsh conditions that exist in space and how to deal with them.
04. I have a GPA of 3.81.
05. Starfleet is my dream. I will do anything to make it a reality.
Q12. What are your top five weaknesses?
01. I may spend too much time quoting movies or listening to music in my quarters.
02. Because I am a leader, I am sometimes not comfortable being the follower.
03. My ideal of Starfleet and the wonders of space may not be the reality.
04. I sometimes have trouble operating efficiently under pressure.
05. Ensign Chekov.
Q13. What is your biggest fear? Being stuck at the top of a dark lighthouse overlooking the water listening to Journey.
Q14. Do you consider yourself to be a leader, or a follower? Leader; I think I've made that pretty clear.
Q15. What do you admire the most in your peers? Determination and drive. I sometimes feel that I do not have enough of that and long to be more like them. I admire people who know what they want and go for it.
Q16. You are stranded on a Class M planet that has not been mapped by The Federation. You are only allowed to choose two of the following items to keep with you: a phaser, a tricorder or a communicator. Which two would you choose to have? I would choose the tricorder and the communicator. The tricorder would help me identify and assess my surroundings and I would need the communicator to signal my ship. Even if I were being cornered by an unknown species, I don't think I could bring myself to phase it. That is against the Prime Directive after all, isn't it? The member of that species is just living it's life and I have intruded.
Q17. Please describe your understanding of the Federation’s Prime Directive. I understand that the Prime Directive is the most important order of the Federation. We must allow all civilizations to advance naturally, to not push ourselves on them or influence their culture in any way, no matter what we may believe.
Q18. The United Federation of Planets includes more than 150 member planets, and the galaxy has many more besides. Which planet do you most want to visit? Risa. Who wouldn't want to visit that paradise? I look forward to tanning my pale Earth bones on it's sunny shores.

KOBAYASHI MARU:
The following questions describe situations you may commonly find yourself in as a member of Starfleet. You will be read the scenario, and then given two options to choose from. You may expand upon the reasons for your choice, but you must indicate one of the two that you feel best describes your likely response to the situation provided.
Q19. Service in the Fleet can be draining at the best of times, and on one particular day everything seems to have gone wrong. You’re exhausted, but your shift is finally over and it’s time to unwind. Your roommate is already on their bed when you get back to your quarters. Do you:
DELETE THE ANSWER THAT APPLIES LEAST TO YOU
b. Say hi, then stick in some earphones for music or grab a PADD for some recreational reading. A lie-down sounds pretty good right now, or maybe a bit of time relaxing on the observation deck - it should be pretty quiet by this time, which will give you a chance to sort through the day’s events in your head.
Music is how I deal with everything. It helps me think, calms me down, or pumps me up. I'm a very shy and quiet person by nature, as well as an only child, and I've always solved my problems alone.
Q20. You’ve intercepted what sounds like a pretty important transmission - you feel like the Captain needs to know. When you report, do you:
DELETE THE ANSWER THAT APPLIES LEAST TO YOU
a. Give them all the facts: what it said, what the voice sounded like, where the inflection was, the language it was in, and so on. Details and facts are the important part, everything else is subjective.
It is the Captain's job to decide what is important and what is not. If he/she asks me my opinion on the situation, I will give it, otherwise it is not my place.
Q21. There are many decisions to be made in Starfleet, and some are harder than others. Faced with a decision where things could go wrong in any number of ways, do you:
DELETE THE ANSWER THAT APPLIES LEAST TO YOU
b. Try to understand the perspectives of the people involved. They are the ones that will be influenced by the decision, and conflict is the least desirable outcome. Be certain to be tactful, even if some of the message is lost in the communication.
I usually do all I can to steer clear of conflict; I am the mediator, the negotiator. I try to find out all I can before making a decision, but also see both sides of the story.
Q22. The day-to-day life of Starfleet can be quite arduous at times, and quite exciting at others. Everyone has their own way of approaching everyday work, but would others see your approach as:
DELETE THE ANSWER THAT APPLIES LEAST TO YOU
a. Planned and orderly. You seem to prefer to have decisions made and matters settled, rather than hanging over your head. You appear comfortable when in control over such matters. You seem to be task-oriented, and plan ahead.
Organization is key to me. I am an extremely (obsessively) organized person - colour-coding is a necessity. I tend to work better when things are already planned. Of course, things happen, not everything always goes according to plan, but life moves much more smoothly when order is present.
Q23. You can earn 5 points for your future Track by promoting the community in your Journal. Please link the post here if you wish to do so: http://playersinagame.livejournal.com/307593.html
