YABI. Why even ask for the second match? Was your initial study incomplete, or, perhaps, flawed? If so, why did you not include that detail in this post? If not, your rendezvous with this old classmate seems like nothing more than an exercise in redundancy at best. I posit that you have fallen victim to the emotion humans refer to as pride. One of their most basic negative emotions, if I correctly recall my ancient human history course.

It is my recommendation that you take a leave of absence from Starfleet. You have clearly spent too much time among humans. A decade or so of meditation in a monastery should help you to reclaim your logic.
