The two became fast friends and Leland constantly encouraged Jon to join the Academy, hoping that he could carry his one true friend into what he perceived as his destiny in Starfleet. To that end, he studied with Jon non-stop and fostered Jon's natural talent for geography and navigation (Leland himself getting constantly lost). For his part, Leland was aware of the nature of their relationship and sadly, took advantage of it as he was growing up. With few friends to call his own, Leland relied (with ever increasing regularity) on his more exuberant and physically adept friend to defend him in the court of popular opinion. | The two became fast friends and Leland constantly encouraged Jon to join the Academy, hoping that he could carry his one true friend into what he perceived as his destiny in Starfleet.

All of that changed once the two reached Starfleet Academy. Leland's natural gifts for analytics and threat analysis began to overshadow his friends natural piloting aptitude. Leland began to gain in favor with the faculty and he could see himself fast-tracked to a prominent role. In a rare moment of empathy, Leland decided to take his old friend out for a drink. What would follow then would change their relationship forever.... After drinking too much, Leland began to antagonize a table full of Klingons, the resulting attack cost Cumar his arm at the elbow. Now, both men serve aboard the {{USS|Victory}} together and Leland is forced to begin to pick up the pieces and get over his guilt. | All of that changed once the two reached Starfleet Academy.

[[Image:Cpeters.png|100px|thumb|left|Cadfael Peters]] One of the first people Leland met aboard the {{USS|Victory}}, he was struck by the young Ensign's plight after having watched him being dressed down by a superior officer. Leland has a soft spot for those he sees as being outcasts and (in his mind) Peters fit the bill. He later struck up a tentative camaraderie at the promotions ceremony on Duronis. Will Peter's ever accept his dinner invitation? Only time will tell... | |||
