Anen's years in Medical School were a series of parties and adventures, fun and revelry that while never getting totally out of control, was never exactly tame. Anen studied hard and blew off steam anyway he could, the other students felt similarly. While his classmates went all out, Anen was always a bit more subdued, reveling not so much in drink and fun as the experience of doing new things in a new culture. His homeland was very touristy and as a noble, he had experiences with wild parties, but there was something different about going out as a student with a bunch of friends, peers, and doing odd little things on top of partying. It was profoundly 'normal' to him, and he enjoyed it immensely. | |||
Anen often took the time to travel during his school breaks, journeying to Africa (specifically Egypt and Kenya), Australia, Chile, the state of Kerala in India and Iraq on Earth and parts of Vulcan, Andoria and Betazed. He also read voraciously on the history and culture of the Federation worlds, and while his knowledge is spotty at best, he is quickly catching up on decades, if not centuries of history that others take for granted. | |||
Anen graduated in the early summer of 2389, and was assigned to a short, five month rotation on Starbase 118 as a junior Medical officer. His graduation from Medical School was one of the happiest days of his life and the fulfillment of many earlier dreams. Unburdened by the responsibilities and obligations of his noble rank, he was finally able to pursue life on his own terms and had a profession he could call his own. More than that, he had earned it all without his family's title, rank or assistance. Perhaps befittingly, none of them attended his graduation ceremony. | |||

Anen's time on Starbase 118 was short, but left a profound imprint on him. His first assignment and first true exposure to the rhythm and culture of life not just in Starfleet proper but also in deep space, Anen found his rotation on the Starbase daunting, exciting and trying all at the same time, and he reveled in it. During this time he would first meet Kalianna Nicholotti, his one-time and future Commanding Officer. He observed her promotion to Captain and the rest of the dramatic events that occurred on Starbase 118 in the later half of 2389, before being rotated off station to his first true assignment. | |||

His education formally complete and his acclimation to Starfleet and the practical applications of his medical knowledge deemed a success, Anen was transferred to an ageing Excelsior Class ship, the USS Mandela. The Mandela was assigned a survey and patrol route along the 'western' edge of the Federation, from the Badlands to the Tezenkethi and Ferengi borders. During this time Anen served with distinction, most notably during the rescue of a Sheliak dignitary and treating the crew of a damaged Ferengi Marauder. While he accidentally placed the Marauder's Damon into a coma and is still being sued for mal-practice by other members of the Marauder's crew, Anen's service was duly noted by the ship's captain, Lucien Al-Kadir. Captain Al-Kadir and Anen would grow exponentially closer when a mysterious Cardassian came aboard the ship after being rescued. This Cardassian was a noted war criminal and Captain Al-Kadir blamed him for the deaths of his wife and children in the Cardassian Wars. | |||
The events set in motion by this incredible happenstance would taint several careers and drive the Mandela into decommissioning. When Captain Al-Kadir tried to kill the Cardassian, Anen stopped him, igniting the Captain's fury. The Cardassian then managed to escape the Mandela and Captain Al-Kadir sent his ship and crew on a brutal manhunt all over the sector for the better part of two weeks. When they finally came across the Cardassian, Captain Al-Kadir ordered his ship to be destroyed. Later, during his court martial, Captain Al-Kadir sought Anen's consult about the preceding events, stating that killing the Cardassian had not made him feel any better. After a long conversation, Captain Al-Kadir resigned but in his last official act as Captain, promoted Anen to Lieutenant and had him transferred to the USS Halcyon, an experimental uprated Prometheus Class Long-Range Tactical Explorer. | |||
