Plot Summary[edit]
Jack Davidson attends his graduation ceremony at the Sandhurst Military Academy. After departing from Terra, he meets his old friend Diana Mallory. He is happy to see her, despite the fact that he is an officer now, a status that has an impact on their relationship. A day later, she convinces him to shave his head, to have better contact with the neurohelmet. He knows that is a hazing, but she repays her cuting her ponytail as reprisal, which both helps him keep his dignity and with the respect of his team.Articles needing clarification[incomprehensible]
