In a fun clip that is part of the marketing campaign promoting Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Cadets Jay-Den Kraag (Karim Diané) and Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta) meet The Doctor (Robert Picardo). The clip is hilarious as the Doctor deals with the Cadets and their various problems. He is clearly disgusted by the new Cadets, one of whom has a parasite maggot in him, and the other who swallowed her com badge.
However, the best part of the clip was a call back to a moment from the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager. The young Cadet says she swallowed her com badge (“Already?“). He asks for a tricorder. He then asks for a tricorder, and then when he gets one, he looks up and says, exuberantly, “medical tricorder.” This scene also had a second reference to Star Trek: Voyager, a much deeper cut. The “Orillian lung maggot” the first Cadet had was another callback to the series, and the third Easter egg from the one short scene was when the Doctor said, “don’t be a baby,” which is a line he said in the episode, “Authur, Author.”
