Dal calls dibs on the luxurious captain’s quarters, with Zero telepathically fact-checking kid captain’s bluffs and bravado, revealing Dal is actually “reeling with pure terror” over The Diviner. Jankom Pog reveals his porcine nature when he finds out the mess hall replicator will make anything in any quantity he wants, and heartbreakingly, Rok-Tahk orders the prison “nutrigoop” because that’s all she knows. “It’s just another name for someone else in charge,” he says.Īs the ship heads towards the red dot (haven’t they learned red means “bad”?) the kids have some time to check out their new home.

After Janeway gives a powerful sales pitch on the wonders of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet, a defiant Dal-much to everyone’s chagrin-dismisses her as a “holo-nanny” and orders the ship to a random red dot on the star chart, away from Federation space and what he sees as just more lying authority figures. Janeway accepts the alien kids who just found the ship, believing them to be Starfleet cadets, a convenient-yet plausible-conceit that will prove to be the foundation of the show. Picking up immediately after the premiere, the new “crew” of the USS Protostar gets briefed by Hologram Janeway, who makes it clear she is “only here to offer advice,” leaving self-appointed captain Dal to make the big decisions.
