The next day, Starfleet Academy cadets gather in a hanger for a training cruise aboard a starship. Meanwhile, Aurora is walking with her roommate, telling her that she decoded a Romulan transmission about a warship that was destroyed near the neutral zone. Tyson passes the test, but his reckless behavior puts him at odds with test instructor, Tuvek. Tyson takes a casual approach to the test and starts to showoff.

The signal lures Horatio into a trap set by Dukar who captures the Horatio in a tractor beam. Three years later, the USS Horatio (NCC-1784) is patrolling in an unknown part of space when First Officer Jetta Sage informs her captain they have picked up a faint signal. On the recruit shuttle, Tyson meets Pavel Soyuz and Anderson Thacker as the shuttle leaves for Earth. Before boarding the shuttle, Tyson tells Jemison that he'll be piloting a starship in three years. Jemison, who is now a captain, is the recruiter.

In 2261, in a bar at Tranquility Base, Luna, a young Academy cadet named Jaesa Aurora meets up with some friends, and while ordering some drinks, a brash and intoxicated Alex Tyson introduces himself and offers to buy her a drink. Tuvek's mother explains that they want him to realize as his father learned from Starfleet that there much he can learn from other species such as humans.
