From a young age, he had displayed a lot of interest in mathematics and his father had correspondingly taught him logical reasoning too – an experiment that failed miserably on his sister. But Keneth did learn – and that had become a defining trait for him – he could be incredibly rational and reason anything out. Or at least so he thought. | From a young age, he had displayed a lot of interest in mathematics and his father had correspondingly taught him logical reasoning too – an experiment that failed miserably on his sister.

It was there that Keneth realized that the majority of Earth really was identical, global culture was a real thing and that he would never find real diversity on Earth. It had been sacrificed for peace. Later, at twelve, they moved back to Chicago. | ||
As he moved through high school, he grew bored of staring at the stars from a distance, calculating their lives to 128-bit triple point accuracies. He wanted to be near them, to feel the wonder of a discovery. He wanted to explore and a planet was too constraining. He wanted to meet people who were actually different. So he applied to Starfleet. | As he moved through high school, he grew bored of staring at the stars from a distance, calculating their lives to 128-bit triple point accuracies.

His family did not trust this to work – Starfleet had so low an acceptance rate it may as well be zero. He should just enlist they said, or better yet, study on planet – maybe join his father? Keneth almost started believing it. Then he was accepted. He had only one disappointment – he had wanted science, but he got engineering. | His family did not trust this to work – Starfleet had so low an acceptance rate it may as well be zero.

He | The one notable feature of his academy time is his insistence on performing research. This lead to him forming a close relationship with Doctor Quinell Winslett, a propulsion researcher and one of his professors. He co-published a paper in his second year with the professor regarding transwarp fields, which began his love for propulsion. He later published papers on computation and a single study on navigational algorithms during a summer internship at the Daystrom Institute. His final year he published his thesis and a seemingly widely acclaimed paper on the effectiveness of tribbles as ship based weaponry using transporter fields. | ||
He graduated on stardate 239705.25 and was posted to the USS Juneau upon the completion of his training cruise on 239706.01. | |||
