Malachi returned to his quarters as "siggested" by his father.  He activated the holographic teacher to begin his classes.  The teacher once again chided him for his being tardy, but immediately changed her tone when she was told he was doing bridge duty.  "She" went into a series of questions on the sensor readings he had taken at the science station and the results.  "She" also went into why he had gotten the results he had.

During the lesson, Malachi's mind kept wandering to what was going to happen afterwards.  He was really looking forward to dinner.  He really enjoyed spending time with Melody. 

"Mr. Fyrstk!" came the voice of the teacher.  "Your mind is drifting again."

"I'm sorry, ma'am," Malachi said.  "What was your question again?"

"I asked you why the sensor wave was able to detect the exhaust of the cloaked ship."

Malachi started to explain the theory of the sensor wave and how it detects objects in space.  He suddenly felt a dull pain towards the front of his head.  It faded quickly but he must have made some kind of face because the holo-teacher was looking at him with much concern.

"Are you okay, Mr. Fyrstk?" the six-inch instructor asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Mal said.  "it was just a headache.  It's gone now."

"God.  Let's get back to our lesson."

Malachi did just that.  He carefully explained the theories behind the sensors and how the sensor dish sends and receives the signals.  The teacher was pleased with the day's lesson and bid him a good evening.  Malachi put everything away and started for the mess hall.  He ran back to his quarters and went into Lukas's room.  He dabbed a small bit of Lukas's cologne, the one his mom really liked on himself and headed back out.
