(Author's note: Your character, M'Turr, is based on the re-imagined Caitian twins as seen in Star Trek: Into Darkness and identified as such by co-writer Damon Lindelof)
You held back a sigh as you watched an embarrassed fellow cadet move quickly away from you and across the square. A knowledgeable observer would have been able to tell by the twitching of your tail that you were exasperated. Unfortunately, there were no nearby knowledgeable observers of Caitians.
