Starfleet Academy has all sorts of extracurricular activities. There’s gardening with Boothby, alternative leadership with Admiral Leyton, and fencing!
Ah, swordplay. It NEVER goes out of style. Sulu loved fencing. He kept a foil in his quarters for recreation time and shirtless swashbuckling. Captain Picard was also a fencing enthusiast, though he preferred the épée. Imagine if the two were to meet… oh, the fanfic we’d write. We’d call it, “The Blades of Command,” and it would feature time travel, swordplay, and possibly the loss of shirts. Oh my!
