Chapter 36

(Back at Chakotay's it is now 3 p.m. and the cleaning of the house has been finished, Icheb's alcove is in the attic and the replicator is working)

Chakotay: I think we've done a great job

Seven: I concur; the house is much cleaner than it was before.

(The vidcom in the corner of the room indicates they are being hailed)

Icheb: I will answer

(Icheb goes over and answers the hail; it is the head of Starfleet Academy, a Rear Ambassador Bolian by the name of Korvin Rixx)

Icheb: Rear Admiral Rixx, what can I do for you?

Rear Admiral Rixx: After careful consideration, taking into account what we spoke about last night, what I have read from your files on Voyager and what Captain Janeway has told me about you, the Academy has set a date and time for your entrance interview and exam. Only after you have passed both will you be allowed to start lessons.

Icheb: Thank you sir, may I know the date and time you have set for the interview and exam?

Rear Admiral Rixx: Oh yes of course, they will take place the day after tomorrow, with the exam starting at 12:30 and the interview starting at 15:00.

Icheb: Thank you for informing me sir.

Rear Admiral Rixx: You welcome, Rixx out

(The screen goes blank and Icheb walks over the Seven and Chakotay.

Chakotay: So Icheb, who was it and what did they want?

Icheb: It was Rear Admiral Rixx informing me of the date and time of my entrance interview and exam.

Chakotay: Oh wow, so soon

Icheb: Yes, I was surprised at the news myself; he said it had something to do with Captain Janeway saying something about me.

Chakotay: She must've been singing your praises.

Seven: Congratulations Icheb, I suggest you start studying now.

Icheb: Thank you Seven, I will. Commander may I use your office upstairs?

Chakotay: Of course and Icheb, its Chakotay, ok?

Icheb: Yes

(Icheb goes upstairs)
