Reflections

Ransom assigns Boimler and Mariner to staff the Starfleet recruitment booth at Tulgana IV's job fair and warns Mariner not to step out of line. After they leave, Sam's cyborg eye implant malfunctions and allows an alternate personality called "Red Rutherford" to emerge. Sam realizes that Red is his younger self, an angry first year Starfleet recruit who secretly builds experimental vehicles for illegal races. In their mindscape, Red challenges Sam to a race for control of their body. On Tulgana IV, Mariner and Boimler are mocked by various attendees including Petra Aberdeen, a smug former Starfleet officer turned archaeologist. Unable to handle the mocking, Boimler rampages around the job fair and accidentally draws enough attention to meet their quota for sign-ups.
