(serene music)
-: Whaaaaaaat?
Who let these criminals apply for Starfleet?
Oh. Not gonna lie.
Feels good to see everybody again.
I wish our Starfleet divisions crossed paths more.
Whoa. Jankom, looking spiffy.
-: Yeah. Jankom takes sonic showers now.
You should try it sometime.
(Jankom laughs)
Oh no. Jankom is sorry.
That was rude.
Jankom is working on being more polite.
-: A marked improvement,
if somewhat disturbing to see in a Tellarite.
-: I just wish Gwyn was here.
-: She's probably queen of Solum by now.
I'd take that over this study snooze fest any day.
-: Snooze fest?
Do you know what a mega huge super deal this is?
Admiral Janeway is about to take us
under her wing on a real Starfleet ship.
This is our big chance.
-: A fancy internship with her is gonna look pretty nice
to the Academy Admission Board.
(shuttle engines whir)
(heroic music)
-: Whoa.
You're not Janeway.
-: No, I'm The Doctor,
an Emergency Medical Holographic program
and dear friend of the admiral, member of the Voyager crew,
hero of the Delta Quadrant.
No?
-: Uh.
-: Well, Kathryn asked me to be your personal escort.
-: Oh great. There you go.
-: I said escort.
I'm a doctor, not a butler.
-: Another hologram?
But how are you off the ship?
-: Mobile emitter. I'm no average hologram.
I've come to learn you care deeply for your former ETH.
That bond reminds me of a holo-novel I once penned
which was very well received.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll grow to love me
just as much as you loved Hologram Janeway.
-: Yeah. Okay, Hologram.
I mean, you're right, probably.
(heroic music)
-: So, what's the mission?
A new scrap with the Borg?
Take down a galactic warlord?
Oh, save Starfleet again.
-: Actually, something you should be familiar with.
Starfleet has asked the admiral to observe a new wormhole
to deem if it poses a threat.
(Murf squeaks)
(Rok gasps)
-: That's the wormhole we created
when we self-destructed the Protostar.
-: Very astute.
After a rigorous probe survey, we picked up
Captain Chakotay's SOS transmission
from the other side, on the planet Solum,
52 years in the future.
-: But isn't Gwyn heading to Solum right now?
-: Solum may well be two different worlds.
The Solum of today that Gwyn is heading to is peaceful.
Future Solum has been torn apart by civil war,
spurred by first contact with the Federation
that hasn't happened yet.
-: So, Gwyn schmoozes with the locals, and if they play nice,
it means a better future for everybody, right?
-: Ah, today Solum, future Solum.
This timey wimey stuff hurts my head.
-: Sounds like somebody never read "Temporal Mechanics 101."
-: I'll leave the science stuff to you.
Put me in the captain's chair.
-: So what starship are we taking, Doctor?
A Protostar class?
-: The Protostar is still under construction.
Think bigger.
(dramatic music)
-: Ooh.
-: What's with the faces?
-: It's Voyager.
But not like Jankom's ever seen it.
Doctor: Her predecessor is a floating museum,
so Janeway thought it was high time for an upgrade.
Lamar Special Class science vessel,
refitted stem to stern with the latest
and greatest technology from our journeys and then some.
-: 29 decks, 800 plus crew, two schools.
-: Admiral Janeway, back in the helm of a brand new ship?
-: You are fortunate to continue your studies on Voyager.
With the rest of Starfleet busy with the Romulan evacuation,
Janeway learned a captain was needed for the maiden voyage,
so she answered the call.
