Disclaimer: I only wish Voyager was mine, but Paramount owns them and it is our duty to speculate what they don't see fit to reveal in the series, and are too lazy to make a movie. If only they would see it our way...
Synopsis: 18 months after their return, four Voyager crew members are the new teachers of a class created to prepare the new cadets for what lies ahead. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I have a bad headache and a small case of writer's block.
A/N: This story isn't finished, so reviews are strongly apppreciated and are my inspiration. I would like to thank all the people who have published stories, as they have also inspired my brain into overdrive, when I should be studying for my exams... And remember, I am still looking for a beta-reader!
The New Class - Chapter Two
Surviving in the Delta Quadrant was becoming a class so successful other Academy staff and HQ staff were sitting in during every lesson, it was that interesting.
The professors pf the class, Admiral Kathryn Janeway, Captain Chakotay, Commander Tuvok and ex-Borg Seven of Nine, had very quickly become the four favourites at Starfleet Academy. Not only had their reputation preceded them, the content of their lesson had everyone on the planet talking.
It was already halfway through the semester, and they had reviewed up to halfway through their journey. As of that period of time, Seven of Nine had not yet joined the crew, so her input was only of a Borg perspective, helping with the analysis of the species they had met. The student's had quickly defined themselves with their marks, competing for top of the class. Surprisingly enough young Brunali Cadet Icheb was second from the top, a Vulcan Cadet T'Kara had taken top standing place from the former Voyager crewmember. Obviously, in the early years, it didn't help being a member of the crew for the last year only.
Admiral Janeway watched as romance and friendship blossomed between Icheb and his Vulcan classmate T'Kara, as he had once watched her romance and friendship with Chakotay blossom. Well, she thought, look what happened with that relationship now that they were married. What Kathryn Janeway hadn't told her class, or the Academy heads, was that she's pregnant. It surprised everyone how fast time had flown, since their return over 22 months beforehand. She had just visited the Paris family, meeting the newest member of their family, baby Imogen Noelle Paris. Kathryn was just hoping she would have an uneventful pregnancy and birth, when she was due in January.
"OK class, take your seats please!" the loud voice of Chakotay flowed over the noise generated by the excited students, as it was time for the class to yet again, begin. "Today, we will be discussing the events around the time when Q graced them with his presence for a second time, introducing them to the civil war in the Continuum. A very exciting topic with a great guest lecturer - the one and only Captain Jean-Luc Picard!"
The main doors into the lecture hall were flung open and in walked the senior staff of the USS Enterprise-E, who were back from their episode with Shinzon. Captain Picard, Captain Will Riker, his new wife Counsellor Deanna Troi, Lieutenants Worf and LaForge and Jean-Luc's secret love, Doctor Beverly Crusher. The students in the assembly hall all stood and produced a loud round of applause as their guest lecturers walked up to the podium to join their own teaching team. It was a real honour to be in the presence of two legendary crews.
