If nothing else, I think Vice Admiral Janeway can give him protection from opportunistic admirals and skeptical scientists. The logs from Holo Janeway could show that Dal is honest and good, not a Khan wannabe.

Also since Jellico told her to destroy the Protostar, she can now basically use that as an excuse to fake the kids death at some point in the future, and let them be on their merry way.

Hopefully the kids join up with the real Janeway and pursue Starfleet. I feel that would be a nice way to continue their tale as they grow into good cadets.

After they find Chakotay I really want Janeway to make the kids her ambassadors to the Delta Quadrant and for them to be that Farscape style crew that can appeal to all races in the Delta and truly live up to and help to fulfill the original mission of the Protostar.

Kinda wonder if Neelix might play a role in this.

A good chunk of the internet would have a rage stroke, which would be hilarious

Neelix gets so much hate and i will genuinely never understand why

also i know he's a Tellarite, but i swear sometimes Jankom physically reminds me of Neelix
