Unmarked Package Triggering Cultural Test
A nondescript package carried by the alien candidate Rondon, delivered deliberately to Wesley Crusher and his peers in a cramped corridor on Relva 7. The package is unremarkable in appearance—likely a small box or parcel—but acts as a tangible catalyst for a sudden confrontation. Rondon uses the package as a prop to provoke Wesley, setting the stage for a tense cultural test witnessed by TAC Officer Chang. Its presence sparks a charged exchange revealing deep interspecies misunderstandings and the high-stakes nature of Academy trials. Characters handle it with guarded suspicion, recognizing it as more than a simple delivery but a test of composure and cultural insight.
