Rose stepped forward, She was still rather short, but at the edge of the stage in professional slacks and a form fitted blouse, she looked tall and imposing. Her body language exuded confidence and strength as she spoke, hiding her own uncertainty with a practiced continuation of Jack's speech. "My name is Rose Ironhart. I am head of the Advanced Research and Development division of Section 6, and this school's teacher of astrophysics and astronavigation. I expect to see many Skyguard pilots in my classes. Moreover, I expect to see many interns working with Section 6 for stem credits. But I don't expect to see all of you there. In fact, I should only reasonably see a small number, when compared to the rest. This is because all skills have value. Each one of you has the potential to build a better world for ourselves and our children. We offer opportunities to grow those talents you know you have, and turn your passions into a skill that for better or worse, will shape the future of this world, all of our homes. I promise you, you will find aptitude somewhere in our curriculum. All you need to do is be willing and eager to learn something, or to share what knowledge you have. Your educators are not infallible.
"I, for example, am well versed in the basics of astrophysics and being able to find my way back to this world. But, with very little time to apply that knowledge, my skill is mediocre, at best. My hope is that not only can we teach you, but you can teach us."
