The School

Located on deck 12

The school is three large rooms that interconnect. The central room is open plan, these even extends to the fact that the walls are clear. There are a number of desks set around the walls and these have consoles embedded into them.

A large interactive white screen is incorporated into the rear wall.

There are low book shelves and these hold the obligatory books, but also boxes full of interactive toys from many different species found throughout the Federation.

The room to the right is set out for the younger children. Here the desks and chairs are smaller. There is computer access here, but it's designed for the smaller members of the PROPHECY's compliment to use.

The carpet in here is a riot of colours, and the colour on the walls in this room can be changed through a special lighting system.

Around the room are various *desks* these can be adapted to hold sand, water. Altered to be a paint/art station and also a simple science station.

There are boxes of simpler games and toys for the younger children.

The room to the left is much more like a science lab, as this area is for the older children. The room itself is split into various areas.

There is one for general lessons, in literacy, numeracy and languages, so these are simple desks with computer access.

There is an engineering section and a science section. Both of these areas are designed to give the children the basic knowledge that may come in useful, and also to encourage them to explore their surroundings.

Both Eitan and T'Stian are of the opinion that it is never too early to start the children learning about the various disciplines that are used on board the PROPHECY.

The older children have also been given holodeck clearance, with either a teacher or security officer. Here they are taught to defend themselves, as the children get older they'll be taught how to shoot a phaser. Maddie believes that anyone living on the PROPHECY should be able to defend themselves in the ship should fall into hostile hands.
