Crash LaForge for the 100 Wednesday challenge
(The @100wednesday challenge sounded interesting so I decided to try it. It was difficult fitting my premise as a drabble but I finally got it)
“Cadet LaForge, I’m denying you conn certification. Don’t worry. There are many other fields out there—Engineering, Operations…”
“But sir. Flying a starship is all I’ve ever wanted! Please, give me another chance!”
 “You’ve already your second chance!”
“I know! But I can do better! Please!”
Tom saw the desperation in her eyes. He had a dream like that once—the Navy-- and he remembered how it felt when it was dashed.
 “Okay. One more. But I better see significant improvement. And I don’t just mean not crashing. Anyone should be able to do that!”
 “Yes, sir. Thank you!”
