Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 0800Hrs - May 3rd, 2391
Rachael Yamaguchi approached her destination along with her daughter beside her, until six weeks ago, she was coming here every day as a student and now she was here again to drop her daughter off for her first day of school. "Now Saki... behave yourself and don't get into fights, some of these kids will provoke you... they'll toy with you and torment you... ignore them.." and with that she gently gave Saki a hug, the small child gave her mother a hug before she turned and went off into the school.
Rachael turned as she went to see the school principal to see about her schooling which she had missed.
Gyce was honestly a bit confused as to why she had been called down to the school, but she arrived. Khaki tan pants, her black polo with a red Starfleet Security emblem on the chest, and her messenger bag holstered across the front of her chest.
The principal nodded. "Hello Ms Yamaguchi, do come in..." he commented. "Ahh.. Lieutenant Benice, good to see you... yes please come in... can I get you anything before we start?"
"No thank you." Rachael responded quietly.
"I am fine, thank you." Gyce sat down beside of Rachael and looked to the principle with inquisitive. "I am a bit unsure of why you requested my assistance. Unless the children pulled from that jungle planet are being disruptive."
Rachael too was curious. "I requested you simply because Ms Yamaguchi here needs to sit several exams... and she has requested that her family remain out of this matter... this is why I requested you... Would you mind assisting her with the prep for the exams." the Principal inquired.
"I don't mind helping at all," Gyce agreed. "Just let me have a general subject list and I'll try to have her ready. Though as she is a pilot, I assume her math skills are fine. Mostly history and sciences possibly need tutored."
The principal gently slid a PADD across to Gyce, on it was Rachael's academic record which looked fine in some places, glaringly empty in others but all in all she was about a grade ten level of education.
"Its all there... her work ethic is commendable though, in some areas she was months ahead of her classmates."
It took a few minutes for Gyce to have a general read on Rachael's academic record.
"How would you rate Saki Yamaguchi's performance as well?" Gyce asked.
"Saki Yamaguchi is new... we've not had a chance to evaluate her yet... but considering she's a wild child... we're a-"
"A little overly concerned... Saki is still my daughter and I did the best with her that I could." Rachael commented quietly.
"I suppose we can schedule some study time after your CAPs," Gyce told to Rachael. "Saki can come too if you can't find someone to watch her."
"I don't want to lean too heavily on my folks.." Rachael explained. "and Saki could always meet new people.."
"I know you and I did not start well with each other," Gyce began apologetically. "But I honestly do care about the safety and wellbeing of the kids of this ship."
Rachael regarded the smaller woman. "That from my perspective was a very long time ago. Elizabeth still thinks the whole event was hilarious." she smiled. "Don't worry about it, you had a job to do... which included arresting all of us.."
"Let's draw out a schedule then on when you need to study," Gyce suggested with a smile.
"Alright. sounds good... I have most of my evenings off... I train and do my education during the day and I have my evenings to myself..." Rachael explained.
"After alpha shift and dinner then," Gyce agreed and placed her PADD into her messenger bag.
"Sounds good to me." Rachael responded.
"I'll start planning your first session then while I'm on camera watch," Gyce promised, stood up, and limped out the door with her cane for support.
Rachael watched her depart in silence. "So... what exactly do I need to do?" as she turned back to the principal.
