What the smeg, let\'s do the bastard

Who: Zodar, L'ontar
When: Just after the start of the test
Where: Exam room
Why: Because
How: You tell me...
 
Zodar had exited the exam with the thought that he could meet back up with Eve. Unfortunately for him, Eve had just been given a job and was now nowhere to be seen.
'What to do... What to do...' thought Zodar as he pondered the possibilities.
...
Only one reasonable thought crossed his mind in that small amount of time.
As he'd previously made very clear, Zodar was unhappy with his rank.
"Crewman".
Sure he did heaps to help people around the place, and most of the time he didn't care about his rank, but it was just depressing when he thought of it.
Age was definitely a determining factor when it came to rank, although there were exceptions and Zodar wasn't one of them.
Being 17 was considered too young for a command position, but just old enough to get a substantial work load. Chris laughed at the irony.
He started to think about when Smegg was aboard the ship. Ahh, those were the days. No-one getting their heads blown off randomly or being totally submerged on a planet's surface. In some parts of the ship, water still hadn't been completely cleared up, leaving huge pools of water. But these areas of the ship were mostly unused and nobody seemed to care about the extra weight of the water because of the weightlessness of space.
But that was in the past.
Right there and then, Zodar made a decision. It was a risk he needed to take.
He decided to take the medical exam.
 
As Chris re-entered the exam room, the Procter looked up, surprised. Most people had chosen to leave, but others thought they'd have a go at deciphering the medical jargon contained on the pages presented.
Zodar scanned the room to see who was left. L'ontar sat near the front.
The Procter walked up to Zodar, "Back for more? Or are you going to be as ignorant as that other man?"
Zodar leaned over and spoke directly into the Procter's ear, "Give me another test. I know medicine*. Don't get smart with me."
Shocked, the Procter gathered some papers and handed them to Chris.
"You won't pass!!!" The Procter shouted desperately after Zodar as he weaved between the tables.
"Let's show them we can pass this thing" whispered Zodar to L'ontar as he walked past.
"It's unfair. They didn't tell us this would be in the test..." mumbled L'ontar as Zodar found himself a table.
"No talking in the test!" Shouted the Procter, "If I see you talk once more, I'll rip your tests up."
Hearing this, the two put their heads down and worked on their tests in silence.
 
<Let's see how we did...>
 
* Zodar actually does have medical knowledge, you can check his bio for proof. However, he is only taking the test to gain a rank.
