'The Academy respected my private university credentials, but I still had to go through the tour of an Explorer to advance fast within their ranks. I was sent with a group to man a habitat, erected near a zombie sighting site. We didn't do any observing, though, as every member of the crew was too busy producing various research papers. I insisted upon erecting at least an observation perimeter, but that only got me banned from the suit storage. I slipped out without any; I still had all sorts of equipment of my own construction. I found the zombie hive. I recorded it all, including when zombies finally advanced upon the habitat and ate everyone. They had it coming. I survived by covering myself with a fresh corpse. The recorded material allowed me to quickly secure a promotion. I have no regrets.'
