Starfleet Exam Results
A folded official Starfleet communiqué on heavy cream stock, printed with dense rows of grades and evaluation notes and bearing an embossed Starfleet and United Federation of Planets seal in the header. The paper squeaks when Picard slides it across the bridge console; officers glance at the stamp and the terse verdict line. Its margins carry officer annotations and an authorization code strip, marking it as a certified personnel credential rather than casual correspondence.
