COUNSELOR REPORT: SD 240108.02
- Condition: None
- Counselor: Arai Filli, MD, Starfleet Academy 118
- Counselor Notes:
Cadet Tarkin was involved in a shuttle crash while retaking Pilot 101. One of his classmates from another class wrote a paper the following morning about the cause of the crash and proved that it was not his fault. It was difficult to get him to open up but he proved significantly more willing to talk over a game of Vulcan chess. He was patient while teaching me the rules and I’m pretty sure he let me win our first game. His performance in the second game seemed to confirm it.
He told me about the accomplishments of his parents as told to him by his adoptive parents. It was quite a story from his grandmother leading rebel armies to the mastermind style planning employed by his mother to escape slavery. He feels inadequate and incapable compared to his lineage, blaming himself for the shuttle crash. He thinks he should have noticed the malfunction sooner and reacted because he felt a change in the vibration of the engine. I believe these feelings of inadequacy represent a greater internal struggle the cadet has been battling through and do not originate with either crash, but his perception of his inability to overcome the piloting exam exacerbated these feelings significantly. He takes great pride in his acceptance to Starfleet Academy, and seems to believe that joining Starfleet is the closest he could ever come to living up to his family's legacy.
Scheduled a follow up session for next week.
- Medical Notes: None
