Future Careers.

Lieutenant Commander

Given what we know of the Timeline from 2385 onwards with the failed Romulan evacuation, Federation isolationism, etc how do we think the Prodigy kids careers worked out?

2383: They find the Protostar. Dal R'El (age 17), Gwyndala (age 17), Jankom Pog (age 16), Zero (age undetermined), Rok-Tahk (aged 8), Murf (age indeterminate); Various adventures;
2384: Battle of living construct weapon, destruction of the Protostar; kids accepted into Starfleet as Warrant Officers; Voyager-A, Solum takeover; Crusher; Time Travel stuff;
2385: Solum aftermath; Attack on Mars; USS Prodigy; They are Ensigns.

2387: Lt JG?
2389: Lt?
2392: Lt Commander?
2395: Commander?
2401: Captain's? - esp after the events of Frontier Day?

I could see Rok-Tahk getting deep into science and not really rank advancing beyond Lt Commander, with no interest in the Bridge Test.

Dal is going to be a Captain one day, he took an important step at the end of the show recognising he needs to learn, but I could see him get to Captain before 2401. I think Dal and Gywn do not get together, but remain really close friends.

Gwyn will still beat Dal to the Big Chair given her abilities. I figure she is there 5-10 years before Dal. Maybe Dal is her XO. I can see a career in diplomacy in later years.

Murf is harder, I cannot see him becoming a Captain unless a method is found for him to communicate properly. I can see him as Head of Security on Gwyn's ship though.

Jankom is going the Scotty route- finds a ship he utterly loves and refuses to leave, becoming a Captain in Engineering or he might into cybernetic design, esp once the Cube becomes available to Starfleet to study; maybe stalls at Lt Commander?

Zero, presuming they resist the dangled lures from Intelligence I could see coming, likely ends up an XO somewhere, with a sideline in designing containment suits, and holo-mysteries.
 
Good calls. the Captain Gwyn/XO Dal dynamic makes sense and mirrors the Captain/XO partnership we might've seen eventually with Mariner and Boimler in LD.
