6 months later…

Captain Janeway stood in her ready room with Jaedyn.  She handed him a comm. badge and a rank.

"Welcome to the crew Ensign McNeill."

Jaedyn shook his head, "This has been a tight opportunity Captain.  I can't believe all the advancements humans have made.  I mean warp engines, phased energy.  I mean ain't nobody knew bout Vulcans and Klingons and all them other people.  Humans ain't alone after all, I mean where I come from if you start talking bout aliens and junk they just say; ya'll know that brother been smokin' too much weed."

"Weed, what is weed Ensign?"

"Uh…it's a drug that makes you very happy and relaxed Captain. You know I think the pointy eared brother could seriously use some weed."

"Ah ha, well in our century smoking is not popular Ensign.  Tuvok was very proud of your accomplishments, he mentioned on several occasions how fast you were picking up the material that he taught you, especially warp theory."

"Ahhhh yeah man…I mean Captain, that warp theory junk is tight!  I didn't never think anything could go that fast, but ya'll got warp."

Captain Janeway smiled, "Well Ensign I am glad that you have learned our technology so fast.  Now we will put you to the test.  Each senior officer will give you a tour of their command post.  After that you will assist Lt. Paris at the helm, he will teach you everything you need to know about flying this ship.  Please report to engineering Ensign."   

"All right cool.  See you later Captain."

"Ensign, a quick yes Captain will do."

"Yes Captain."

"Dismissed"

****************************************************

~Engineering~

Jaedyn arrived in engineering and saw the warp core. 

"Now that is tight," he said as he reached out to touch it.

B'Elanna grabbed his hand, "I wouldn't touch that if I were you."

Jaedyn's eyes bulged out of his head, "Damn you fine."

B'Elanna rolled her eyes, "What was that Ensign?"

"Uh…nothing ma'am I was talking to myself."

"Uh huh.  I am Lt. B'Elanna Torres and this is engineering.  We do maintenance on the warp core and keep it running at all times so that the ship can attain its maximum warp capabilities.  If something goes wrong in engineering and there is a warp core breech we all die."

"Uh…ok, so what's your point?"

"Don't touch anything unless I ask you to, don't screw up and we will be best friends.  Got it Ensign?"

"Yes Lt."

"Good, now go visit my friend Seven in astrometrics."

Jaedyn got on the Turbo lift to astrometrics.  B'Elanna smiled as she saw him leave.  Seven was going to have fun with this one.

~ Astrometrics~

"Greetings Ensign, Welcome to astrometrics.  I am Seven of Nine."

"Yo, Sev you are hot."

"My temperature is normal ensign."

Jaedyn studied her harder, "Are you a machine or something?"

"I was assimilated by the Borg; the doctor was unable to remove all my parts."

"The Borg…oh yeah that's those weird aliens that turn everyone into robots."

"They are a collective Ensign."

"Well you are one sexy drone."

"You are irrelevant Ensign."

Seven ignored Jaedyn's advances and showed him around astrometrics.

~Sickbay~

Jaedyn picked up a tube of hypo spray that was lying on a bio bed and played around with it, he accidentally pushed a button and all the spray went into his eye.

"Ahhh! Somebody help me!"

The doctor came over and gave him another hypo spray to relieve the pain he had inflicted upon himself.  The doctor yanked the empty hypo spray tube out of his hand.

"Ensign this is my sickbay, unless you are a certified medical assistant, do not touch anything!"

"I thought you was gonna give me a tour of sickbay doctor."

"I am the doctor, this is sickbay, these are bio beds and I use hypo spray.  Will that be all?"

"No.  I mean ain't you supposed to instruct me on how to use hypo spray and what I should do if someone gets injured?"

"Bring them to sick bay and I'll fix them up."

"Yo Doc, what is your problem, I thought we was cool?"

"I don't have time for this, come back later.  I was just about to figure out an antivirus for a very nasty bug."

"Uh…ok thanks Doc."

The doctor smiled as he started to leave, "Oh and ensign do not forget your physical next week."

Jaedyn swallowed hard, he always hated doctor visits, "See yah Doc."

~The Mess Hall~

Neelix peeked from behind the counter in the mess hall.

"Ensign!  I heard you were coming to visit me and I made a Klingon dish for you to enjoy."

Jaedyn looked at the food Neelix placed in front of him.  It looked like noodles of some kind.

"What is it?"

"Lt. Torres told me it was called gagh, it is very rich in protein.  It's good for you try it."

Jaedyn tried a spoonful of the stuff, It was a little crunchy but good.

"Hey this ain't too bad, What is in it?"

"Worms."

Jaedyn choked and spit the food into a napkin, and swallowed a large glass of water.

"Are you trying to kill me or something? I ain't a Klingon!"

"Well you were enjoying it before I told you what was in it."

"Sorry Neelix but homie don't play worms. You got some fried chicken or some grits, gimme some soul food man."

Neelix looked confused, "Soul food, what is that?"

Jaedyn's mouth dropped open, "Please don't tell me that I am stuck here with no soul food.  Neelix, my man, we need to hook up when I am not on duty so I can show you how to cook some real food."

Neelix got excited, "I always welcome new recipes Ensign. I'll be looking forward to your visits."

"All right, peace Neelix," Jaedyn said as he walked out of the mess hall flashing a peace sign to Neelix.  Neelix tried to imitate the peace sign.  He liked this new Ensign.  Jaedyn was nothing like any human he had met before.

~The Bridge~

"Welcome to the bridge Ensign," Captain Janeway smiled as her newest project sat down next to Tom at the helm.

"Yo Captain what's up...I mean thank you Captain."

"How did your tour of the ship go?"

"It was cool, this ship is huge!"

"While Voyager may be large in size other ships such as the USS Enterprise are bigger, therefore I do not believe huge is the appropriate word Ensign," Tuvok commented.

"Oh Tuvok lighten up," Tom said.

Jaedyn leaned over and whispered to Tom, "Hey are all Vulcans like that?"

Tuvok answered, "Vulcan's believe in logic, while we may not be the same we all try to achieve a higher level of logic than you humans."

Tom Looked at Jaedyn, "Vulcan's have super hearing."

"Thanks man I'll remember that."

"All right Ensign, Mr. Paris will instruct you on helm controls.  You may want to take him to the holodeck and try a simulation Lieutenant."

"Yes Captain."
