Slowly Nick began to awake from his dreamless sleep. He stirred and remembered that Chakotay was going to be meeting him soon.

"shoot.." He said springing up.

"Well Good Morning." Chakotay said from a desk in one of the far corners.

"Uh Hi, sorry that I fell asleep."

Holding up his hand, Chakotay moved towards him. "Its all right. Would you care for something to eat."

"Umm, water would be fine. Im parched." He nodded and stepped up to a terminal in the wall.

"This is a replicator. It can make pretty much anything you'll need. You have basic rations right now. So be sure to use them wisely. Ive allocated a few extra so you can get situated." He pressed a few controls, and a glass of cold water materialized in front of Nick.

"Wow," he said under his breath.

Chakotay Smiled. "Im do on the bridge, but Seven of Nine should be here to start explaining ship systems and how to use them ."

"Allright Commander, I shall see you later." Chakotay nodded, and left the young man alone.

Ten minutes later, a former borg started her way up to Chakotays Quarters. She was accompanied by an engineering detail that was responsible for reconfiguring the first officers quarters. It didn't take long for them to get to work. Seven then approached the commanders door.

Nick heard the call sign. "Come in." Perfection stepped in. He stared for a moment, but then got the better of himself.

"Hi, Seven of Nine right?" He said through squinted eyes. He was really trying.

"Correct, you may call me Seven." She nodded and then handed him a padd.

"Your Comm Designation will be Nick, or Mr. Redding. And here are your personal security codes. They will gain you access to the ships database, and non-restricted areas of the ship. " She fastened a communicator onto his jacket that had been laid out for him. "

"Now then, if you'll follow me."
