In [[2492]], a scandal at the academy occurred involving the overnight disappearances of [[Inna Volkov]], the daughter of [[Konrad Volkov|Admiral Konrad Volkov]], from officers' family quarters on base and sightings of her in the company of a young man, which eventually culminated to the impregnation of Inna.
