1
00:00:08,182 --> 00:00:09,507
Previously on
Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:09,531 --> 00:00:12,142
Identify space-time location.
3
00:00:12,186 --> 00:00:14,971
You have reached year 3188.
4
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:18,061
The Federation as we know it
disappeared overnight.
5
00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:19,802
But I did find
part of a transmission.
6
00:00:19,845 --> 00:00:21,630
This is Admiral Senna Tal.
7
00:00:21,673 --> 00:00:23,327
The Federation lives on.
8
00:00:23,371 --> 00:00:25,634
I am Admiral Tal.
9
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,636
Although human,
10
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:30,421
young Adira has been joined
with a Trill symbiont.
11
00:00:30,465 --> 00:00:32,075
Welcome to the circle.
12
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:33,685
Once they join with a host,
13
00:00:33,729 --> 00:00:34,947
that host has the ability
14
00:00:34,991 --> 00:00:37,602
to access the memories
of all former hosts.
15
00:00:37,646 --> 00:00:39,256
Including Admiral Tal's.
16
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,302
That's beautiful.
What is it?
17
00:00:41,345 --> 00:00:42,345
A lullaby.
18
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:48,091
Are you okay?
19
00:00:48,135 --> 00:00:49,223
No, obviously.
20
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:50,746
What the hell
are you doing here?
21
00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:52,530
Besides saving their asses.
22
00:00:52,574 --> 00:00:53,618
I stayed for Airiam.
23
00:00:54,967 --> 00:00:56,491
She was a science officer,
24
00:00:56,534 --> 00:00:58,058
but she paid the price
of a soldier.
25
00:00:58,101 --> 00:00:59,798
I felt like someone
should honor that.
26
00:00:59,842 --> 00:01:02,149
I am grateful for your support
of my captaincy.
27
00:01:02,192 --> 00:01:04,934
It would be my privilege
to be your Number One.
28
00:01:04,977 --> 00:01:07,893
Senna knew the algorithm we
needto find Federation headquarters.
29
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:09,069
These coordinates...
30
00:01:09,112 --> 00:01:11,245
They'll take you
where you need to go.
31
00:01:15,423 --> 00:01:18,121
Captain's log, supplemental.
32
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:20,384
After a journey of 930 years...
33
00:01:20,428 --> 00:01:24,258
And a return to Earth that we
could not have anticipated...
34
00:01:24,301 --> 00:01:28,392
We are finally on the verge
of reaching our destination:
35
00:01:28,436 --> 00:01:31,091
Federation
and Starfleet headquarters.
36
00:01:31,134 --> 00:01:35,573
Separate entities
that must now abide together;
37
00:01:35,617 --> 00:01:39,316
a sign of this new time,
I suppose.
38
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,538
I can only hope that they are
as eager for us to arrive
39
00:01:43,581 --> 00:01:46,584
as we are to be home.
40
00:01:46,628 --> 00:01:50,806
- Captain.
- Number One.
41
00:01:52,242 --> 00:01:54,810
Every report, record and log
that you asked for
42
00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,725
is ready to be handed over
to Starfleet.
43
00:01:58,553 --> 00:02:00,685
Words aren't enough.
44
00:02:00,729 --> 00:02:01,904
Are they?
45
00:02:03,862 --> 00:02:06,865
930 years...
46
00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:11,174
I trust that what matters most
will have endured.
47
00:02:11,218 --> 00:02:12,741
I know
that there will be protocol.
48
00:02:12,784 --> 00:02:16,919
I know that we'll have a lot
of questions about The Burn.
49
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:19,704
But there are other things
that...
50
00:02:19,748 --> 00:02:22,925
I'd like
to inquire about, as well.
51
00:02:24,927 --> 00:02:27,538
You are thinking
about your mother.
52
00:02:27,582 --> 00:02:29,192
Yes, sir.
53
00:02:30,846 --> 00:02:31,977
And I know that I'm lucky
54
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:33,936
to have someone to hope for.
55
00:02:33,979 --> 00:02:36,895
I believe that here,
56
00:02:36,939 --> 00:02:38,854
there are answers for you,
57
00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:42,727
and solace for all of us.
58
00:02:42,771 --> 00:02:45,339
I really hope so, sir.
59
00:02:47,036 --> 00:02:49,734
Lieutenant Detmer,
status report?
60
00:02:49,778 --> 00:02:51,867
Captain, we're here.
61
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:53,216
Federation headquarters.
62
00:02:58,917 --> 00:03:00,919
Must be some kind
of distortion field.
63
00:03:00,963 --> 00:03:04,184
It is a security measuredesigned
to mask their location.
64
00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:06,447
But they are expecting us.
65
00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:07,839
You may proceed.
66
00:03:07,883 --> 00:03:09,580
Aye, sir.
67
00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:50,055
Wow.
68
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,885
We wouldn't have made it
without you.
69
00:03:53,929 --> 00:03:55,235
Without everybody.
70
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:05,288
Fascinating.
71
00:04:05,332 --> 00:04:07,551
The distortion field seems
to be sustained
72
00:04:07,595 --> 00:04:09,814
by the collective energy
of every ship within it.
73
00:04:09,858 --> 00:04:11,903
Detecting neutronium-alloy
fibers.
74
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:13,307
Those-those
used to be theoretical.
75
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:16,038
Some of these hulls are organic.
76
00:04:16,081 --> 00:04:17,605
Some-some are
completely comprised
77
00:04:17,648 --> 00:04:19,737
of holographic-containment
walls.
78
00:04:19,781 --> 00:04:21,652
Is that a new Constitution?
79
00:04:21,696 --> 00:04:23,959
I bet it can sleep a crew
of a thousand!
80
00:04:24,002 --> 00:04:26,396
No, 2,000.
81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,225
Detached nacelles? Where do
theyeven put the warp core?
82
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:33,969
Must be a scout.
Wonder what its range is like.
83
00:04:45,807 --> 00:04:47,548
That's a flying rain forest.
84
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:13,008
The USS Voyager. Ho!
85
00:05:13,051 --> 00:05:18,056
"J." That's-that's
ten generations of evolution?
86
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:19,493
11.
87
00:05:19,536 --> 00:05:21,538
Would love to hear
those stories.
88
00:05:28,763 --> 00:05:29,938
Mr. Bryce,
89
00:05:29,981 --> 00:05:32,027
hail Federation headquarters.
90
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:34,029
And tell them the USS Discovery
91
00:05:34,072 --> 00:05:35,378
is reporting for duty.
92
00:05:35,422 --> 00:05:38,076
Aye, sir.
Hailing now.
93
00:05:41,602 --> 00:05:43,952
- Sir, they're scanning us.
- Oh, as expected.
94
00:05:43,995 --> 00:05:46,563
They require a moment
to process the arrival
95
00:05:46,607 --> 00:05:47,999
of a thousand-year-old ship.
96
00:05:48,043 --> 00:05:50,219
Captain,
I no longer have control.
97
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:54,049
On comms, sir.
They'll be docking us remotely
98
00:05:54,092 --> 00:05:57,357
and request that the captain,
first officer, and... Tal
99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,099
prepare to be beamed over
from here.
100
00:06:01,143 --> 00:06:03,972
Their scans must be advanced
enough to pick up her symbiont.
101
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:08,542
- They're ready, sir.
- Ah.
102
00:06:08,585 --> 00:06:10,805
Lieutenant Nilsson,
the conn is yours.
103
00:08:28,769 --> 00:08:31,206
You picked a hell of a day
for a homecoming.
104
00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:34,383
Charles Vance, commander
in chief, Starfleet.
105
00:08:34,426 --> 00:08:36,559
This is my chief security
officer, Lieutenant Willa.
106
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:38,866
Captain Saru, USS Discovery.
107
00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:41,172
Commander Michael Burnham.
First officer.
108
00:08:41,216 --> 00:08:42,347
At ease.
109
00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:49,006
I can't say we've come across
many Kelpiens out here lately.
110
00:08:50,791 --> 00:08:52,619
Has there been any kind of...
111
00:08:52,662 --> 00:08:54,490
disturbance on Kaminar?
112
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:57,232
Status quo last we checked.
They're just far enough away
113
00:08:57,275 --> 00:08:59,147
that contact's been limited
since The Burn.
114
00:08:59,190 --> 00:09:00,516
That's pretty much the case
with most
115
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:01,889
Federation planets these days.
116
00:09:03,064 --> 00:09:07,372
Kaminar joined the Federation.
117
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,290
Sir, the Cuyahoga is reporting
118
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:15,380
Orion and Andorian vessels
in the Sigma Draconis system.
119
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:17,078
It's the Emerald Chain.
120
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:21,561
Osyraa's been becoming
more brazen by the day.
121
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:24,302
- I want updates in real time.
- Yes, Admiral.
122
00:09:31,309 --> 00:09:32,746
You're Senna Tal.
123
00:09:32,789 --> 00:09:34,182
Per the scans.
124
00:09:34,225 --> 00:09:38,273
Uh, Adira Tal, now, sir.
125
00:09:39,927 --> 00:09:43,321
Senna never meant
to keep you waiting.
126
00:09:43,365 --> 00:09:45,236
He just couldn't bear
to leave Earth
127
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,109
without seeing snow
one last time.
128
00:09:48,152 --> 00:09:50,546
Well, he was, uh...
129
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,896
always sentimental.
130
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:55,377
But let's keep this clear.
131
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:58,249
He and I were familiar,
you and I are not.
132
00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:01,035
Uh, yes, sir.
133
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:03,559
Lieutenant Willa,
134
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:06,606
take Adira Tal to medical
for a full diagnostic.
135
00:10:09,086 --> 00:10:12,307
Sir, the situation
with the Kili refugees
136
00:10:12,350 --> 00:10:14,875
has gotten worse.
Sickbay is overflowing.
137
00:10:14,918 --> 00:10:17,573
We're having to perform triage
in the corridors.
138
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,464
Patient three just
started seizing, Doctor.
139
00:10:19,488 --> 00:10:21,882
Dr. Eli says they have
four hours left, at best.
140
00:10:21,925 --> 00:10:24,101
Is there a diagnosis yet?
141
00:10:24,145 --> 00:10:25,513
Cascade failure
of the nervous system
142
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:26,776
brought on
by misfolding proteins.
143
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,150
Something called "prions. "
144
00:10:29,193 --> 00:10:31,302
They're not contagious, but
there's no cure yet, either.
145
00:10:31,326 --> 00:10:33,726
There won't be until you find
out where they became infected.
146
00:10:33,763 --> 00:10:36,331
We could help you
analyze their travel.
147
00:10:36,374 --> 00:10:38,376
We're already in their logs,
148
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:39,740
compiling a roster
of every planet
149
00:10:39,769 --> 00:10:42,293
they visited
before they came here.
150
00:10:43,425 --> 00:10:44,774
See what you can do to help.
151
00:10:46,907 --> 00:10:48,604
My apologies if I overstepped.
152
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:53,391
Uh, simply put, we are anxious
to help our Federation family.
153
00:10:53,435 --> 00:10:54,697
Of course. I appreciate
154
00:10:54,741 --> 00:10:57,178
the offer,
but a debrief must come first.
155
00:10:57,221 --> 00:11:00,398
Your journey here
must be quite the story.
156
00:11:00,442 --> 00:11:02,270
A story we are eager to tell,
Admiral.
157
00:11:02,313 --> 00:11:04,446
Not as eager as I am to hear it.
158
00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:06,491
We're still analyzing
159
00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:09,320
the cause of the spatial
and temporal...
160
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:13,324
variances
in our exiting the wormhole.
161
00:11:13,368 --> 00:11:15,892
Early indications suggest
162
00:11:15,936 --> 00:11:17,938
that Discovery may have
hit a pocket
163
00:11:17,981 --> 00:11:19,940
of abnormal gravity waves.
164
00:11:19,983 --> 00:11:21,942
And this "Red Angel" suit
of yours...
165
00:11:21,985 --> 00:11:23,726
It's no longer accessible?
166
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:27,556
I sent it back into the wormholeto
initiate the final signal.
167
00:11:27,599 --> 00:11:29,514
It was then programmed
to self-destruct.
168
00:11:29,558 --> 00:11:32,474
There was but one time crystal,
Admiral.
169
00:11:32,517 --> 00:11:34,519
It was always going
to be a one-way trip
170
00:11:34,563 --> 00:11:36,565
for the Sphere data
and for all of us.
171
00:11:36,608 --> 00:11:39,046
And what exactly is this data
we're now accountable for?
172
00:11:39,089 --> 00:11:40,874
The Sphere is a benevolent
173
00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:43,093
life-form that merged
with Discovery.
174
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:45,182
Its data is a record
of everything seen
175
00:11:45,226 --> 00:11:46,967
and experienced by this entity
176
00:11:47,010 --> 00:11:49,491
in the 100,000 years
leading up to our departure.
177
00:11:49,534 --> 00:11:53,016
100,000 years. Well.
178
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:55,627
Discovery's just full
of surprises, isn't she?
179
00:11:55,671 --> 00:11:58,195
You may be the last Kelpien
who still retains
180
00:11:58,239 --> 00:12:00,415
biochemical traces of Vahar'ai.
181
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:01,609
And your limbic system's
been getting
182
00:12:01,633 --> 00:12:03,548
quite a workout, Commander.
183
00:12:03,592 --> 00:12:05,333
Are you prone
to emotional exaggeration?
184
00:12:05,376 --> 00:12:08,771
Our Als have evolved
quite a bit since your day.
185
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:10,207
My primary diagnostic scanners
186
00:12:10,251 --> 00:12:11,643
can read anomalies as small
187
00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:14,472
as aberrant protein coding
in your neurons,
188
00:12:14,516 --> 00:12:16,039
so you can't lie to me.
189
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:17,345
That'll be all, Eli.
190
00:12:19,651 --> 00:12:23,307
Admiral, if-if we may,
we have a few questions
191
00:12:23,351 --> 00:12:25,570
- of our own.
- I bet.
192
00:12:25,614 --> 00:12:28,008
Given what you shared
of Kaminar, I am curious
193
00:12:28,051 --> 00:12:31,446
as to what remains
of the rest of the Federation.
194
00:12:31,489 --> 00:12:35,319
38 member worlds
that we're aware of.
195
00:12:35,363 --> 00:12:38,453
Down from 350 at its peak.
196
00:12:38,496 --> 00:12:42,979
There may be others, but since
the subspace relays went down,
197
00:12:43,023 --> 00:12:46,287
we're having difficulty
finding each other.
198
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:48,550
Where we sit now represents
199
00:12:48,593 --> 00:12:50,813
not just the headquarters
of Starfleet Command,
200
00:12:50,857 --> 00:12:53,424
but also the entire
civilian government
201
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,035
of the United Federation
of Planets.
202
00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:56,819
And it's been that way
since The Burn.
203
00:12:56,863 --> 00:12:58,821
Sir, if I may ask,
204
00:12:58,865 --> 00:13:01,650
- regarding The Burn, we...
- I am not at liberty
205
00:13:01,693 --> 00:13:04,566
to discuss intelligence
with you yet, Commander.
206
00:13:06,089 --> 00:13:07,961
You're not lying to me,
207
00:13:08,004 --> 00:13:09,789
but there is nothing
in our database
208
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:14,184
to verify a Red Angel
or a Control.
209
00:13:14,228 --> 00:13:16,186
Our intelligence says that
210
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:18,623
Discovery was destroyed
in 2258, with no mention
211
00:13:18,667 --> 00:13:23,846
of a displacement-activated
spore drive.
212
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:25,805
So,
213
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:29,460
two truths now exist
in one space.
214
00:13:29,504 --> 00:13:31,419
That never goes well.
215
00:13:31,462 --> 00:13:33,919
Starfleet's operating procedureswould
have included the erasure
216
00:13:33,943 --> 00:13:36,728
of any files related
to our vessel,
217
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:40,602
to eliminate the possibility
of a recurring threat.
218
00:13:40,645 --> 00:13:45,650
We came here to ensure
that Control did not evolve.
219
00:13:45,694 --> 00:13:47,478
I can't possibly
corroborate that.
220
00:13:48,523 --> 00:13:49,959
A quick history lesson.
221
00:13:50,003 --> 00:13:53,049
The Federation has spent
most of the 30th century
222
00:13:53,093 --> 00:13:56,400
fighting a war
to uphold the Temporal Accords,
223
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:59,882
an interstellar treaty outlawingtime
travel to prevent anyone
224
00:13:59,926 --> 00:14:03,277
from the past from changing
the future, and vice versa.
225
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,107
Your presence here,
by definition, is a crime.
226
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:09,457
Everything we have ever done
has been in accordance
227
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:13,417
with the ideals
of the Federation, sir.
228
00:14:13,461 --> 00:14:15,419
If we hadn't made the jump,
229
00:14:15,463 --> 00:14:19,336
all organic life in the
universewould've ended.
230
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:22,470
And we wouldn't be having
this conversation,
231
00:14:22,513 --> 00:14:24,385
- Admiral.
- If that's true,
232
00:14:24,428 --> 00:14:26,691
then we owe you
a debt beyond words.
233
00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:29,172
But from where I sit,
and I sit here,
234
00:14:29,216 --> 00:14:33,394
trusting you is a risk
I cannot take without evidence.
235
00:14:33,437 --> 00:14:35,700
The safety and security
of whatever's left
236
00:14:35,744 --> 00:14:39,704
of the Federation must take
priority over everything else.
237
00:14:39,748 --> 00:14:43,752
And so, until we sort
through this,
238
00:14:43,795 --> 00:14:48,061
I'll be requisitioning Discovery
for analysis and retrofit.
239
00:14:48,104 --> 00:14:50,541
- Admiral...
- Not open to debate, Captain.
240
00:14:50,585 --> 00:14:52,630
We'll also be looking
through your logs
241
00:14:52,674 --> 00:14:54,632
and debriefing your crew,
242
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:57,157
and assuming their stories
match yours,
243
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,376
determine where
they can be reassigned.
244
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:00,508
Reassigned?
245
00:15:00,551 --> 00:15:03,119
Uh, sir, may I ask why?
246
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,468
No.
247
00:15:04,512 --> 00:15:07,384
Now, you claim you're acting
248
00:15:07,428 --> 00:15:09,734
in accordance
with Federation ideals.
249
00:15:09,778 --> 00:15:12,433
I would ask that you continue
to do so,
250
00:15:12,476 --> 00:15:14,348
by putting the needs
of Starfleet
251
00:15:14,391 --> 00:15:17,090
ahead of the needs of your crew.
252
00:15:19,179 --> 00:15:20,745
The Federation that I remember
253
00:15:20,789 --> 00:15:22,225
would understand that there
254
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:24,010
is no other crew
with our experience.
255
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:27,230
And certainly no other crew
thatcan operate the spore drive.
256
00:15:27,274 --> 00:15:28,753
Correct on both counts.
257
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,862
Why aren't you fighting
for us to stay together, then?
258
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:34,411
We are no longer
"out there," Michael.
259
00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:37,719
We serve Starfleet by executing
the admiral's orders.
260
00:15:37,762 --> 00:15:40,765
Vance should make use of who weare
now, not diminish us for it.
261
00:15:40,809 --> 00:15:42,637
Well, that is entirely his call.
262
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,682
Then let's help him
make the right one.
263
00:15:44,726 --> 00:15:47,033
- I understand his motives.
- Well, so do I.
264
00:15:47,076 --> 00:15:49,774
But I also know that ifthis
crew gets pulled apart now,
265
00:15:49,818 --> 00:15:51,515
some of us might never recover.
266
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:53,648
Now, if we can just get
our hands on the roster
267
00:15:53,691 --> 00:15:56,085
of where the Kili have been,
then we can help isolate
268
00:15:56,129 --> 00:15:58,305
the origin
of the infectious protein,
269
00:15:58,348 --> 00:16:00,350
we can jump there,
we can find a cure,
270
00:16:00,394 --> 00:16:02,613
we can help make a difference
for the Kili
271
00:16:02,657 --> 00:16:05,225
and show the admiral
why we need to stay together.
272
00:16:07,357 --> 00:16:10,404
"Get our hands on"?
273
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:14,974
I believe we are in
a unique position to help,
274
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:19,804
and we will do so by requesting
the roster via proper channels.
275
00:16:19,848 --> 00:16:22,285
Our first Federation act will
not be to pilfer its property
276
00:16:22,329 --> 00:16:24,374
and violate a direct order.
277
00:16:24,418 --> 00:16:25,810
That is a lesson
278
00:16:25,854 --> 00:16:29,379
I thought you would have
learned by now, Commander.
279
00:16:30,728 --> 00:16:32,687
Of course.
280
00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:34,471
They're breaking us up?
281
00:16:34,515 --> 00:16:37,735
There is no precedent for...
282
00:16:37,779 --> 00:16:39,650
us.
283
00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:44,133
So please, I ask you
to trust the process.
284
00:16:44,177 --> 00:16:48,007
What is truly important is
that we are all back home now.
285
00:16:49,617 --> 00:16:51,749
We'll be calling you in
by department.
286
00:16:51,793 --> 00:16:54,013
Engineering,
spore drive specialists,
287
00:16:54,056 --> 00:16:57,233
operations, tactical...
288
00:16:57,277 --> 00:16:59,192
So you were... dead?
289
00:16:59,235 --> 00:17:02,412
Yes. As I said.
290
00:17:02,456 --> 00:17:04,762
- Clinically dead?
- Well, I was
291
00:17:04,806 --> 00:17:07,069
emotionally dead, too...
and I was murdered.
292
00:17:07,113 --> 00:17:09,680
That can really do
a number on you.
293
00:17:09,724 --> 00:17:11,726
But my murderer
and I are good now.
294
00:17:11,769 --> 00:17:14,337
So, you were on
an asteroid and...?
295
00:17:14,381 --> 00:17:17,514
Commander Burnham fell out
of the sky. With Captain Pike.
296
00:17:17,558 --> 00:17:19,821
It was raining
Starfleet officers.
297
00:17:19,864 --> 00:17:23,042
Did you bring any snacks?
I'm-I'm starving.
298
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:25,653
So you would consider yourself
"essential personnel"?
299
00:17:25,696 --> 00:17:27,089
Have you been talking to Detmer?
300
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,700
Because I can't seem to get
awayfrom this question.
301
00:17:29,744 --> 00:17:31,615
What do you know about
the Emerald Chain?
302
00:17:31,659 --> 00:17:33,791
What is that...
Some sort of Risan
303
00:17:33,835 --> 00:17:36,751
- party drug?
- It's the Andorian/Orion syndicate.
304
00:17:36,794 --> 00:17:38,796
I've never heard of them.
305
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,321
I'm gonna need
something to drink.
306
00:17:41,364 --> 00:17:43,018
All this is after
I got my hair blown out
307
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,760
and became a Terran
captain/dominatrix,
308
00:17:45,803 --> 00:17:48,719
and before we jumped through
a wormhole into the future.
309
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,373
So, I mean,
310
00:17:50,417 --> 00:17:52,723
I love Starfleet, I really do,
311
00:17:52,767 --> 00:17:54,812
but ask me if any
of this was in the handbook.
312
00:17:54,856 --> 00:17:56,136
Was any of this in the handbook?
313
00:17:56,162 --> 00:17:57,641
No.
314
00:17:57,685 --> 00:18:01,471
Nhan. Security officer,
USS Discovery.
315
00:18:01,515 --> 00:18:05,084
SFB534-0679.
316
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:08,043
Failure to comply
is insubordination.
317
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,219
I'm sorry.
318
00:18:10,263 --> 00:18:11,568
Now,
319
00:18:11,612 --> 00:18:13,788
how long was
the duration of the...
320
00:18:13,831 --> 00:18:17,879
Nhan, D. Security officer,
USS Discovery.
321
00:18:19,185 --> 00:18:21,752
Throw me in the brig, hologram.
322
00:18:21,796 --> 00:18:24,712
Lieutenant Willa,
we submitted a request
323
00:18:24,755 --> 00:18:27,454
to see the roster of planets
the Kili refugees visited.
324
00:18:27,497 --> 00:18:29,760
We've not yet heard back.
If we know where they went,
325
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:31,240
we could find out
what caused this.
326
00:18:31,284 --> 00:18:32,894
We're a science vessel.
327
00:18:32,937 --> 00:18:34,176
And the situations
we've encountered...
328
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,550
Sorry, Commander.
We're still in the process
329
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:38,508
of determining
your intentions here.
330
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:40,510
We are not temporal agents,
Lieutenant.
331
00:18:40,554 --> 00:18:43,122
We need more
than your word, Captain.
332
00:18:43,165 --> 00:18:45,950
Lieutenant Willa...
333
00:18:45,994 --> 00:18:47,822
I'm sure we would
respond the same way
334
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:49,867
if the situation were reversed.
335
00:18:49,911 --> 00:18:54,916
But one fact is unassailable:
wehave a spore drive and it works.
336
00:18:54,959 --> 00:18:57,527
We can travel anywhere
in the blink of an eye.
337
00:18:57,571 --> 00:18:59,138
And we want to help.
338
00:18:59,181 --> 00:19:02,706
All we are asking is to bepermitted
to look at the roster.
339
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:05,187
Best case, you save lives.
340
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:08,886
Worst case, you hate us a
littlemore for wasting your time.
341
00:19:10,932 --> 00:19:14,022
I'll need to speak
with Admiral Vance.
342
00:19:14,065 --> 00:19:16,416
Our scans picked you out
right away.
343
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:19,027
A rigorous debrief
is protocol for Terrans.
344
00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:20,744
We also know you're a murderer
345
00:19:20,768 --> 00:19:22,900
in at least two universes.
346
00:19:22,944 --> 00:19:25,512
Don't look at him.
347
00:19:25,555 --> 00:19:28,297
- Look at us.
- So, this will be your second universe,
348
00:19:28,341 --> 00:19:30,691
your third timeline.
349
00:19:30,734 --> 00:19:32,649
Depends on how you look at it.
350
00:19:32,693 --> 00:19:34,608
I like to look at it like this.
351
00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:39,700
- Why are you blinking?
- Why aren't you?
352
00:19:39,743 --> 00:19:41,789
- What was your connection to Control?
- We dated.
353
00:19:41,832 --> 00:19:44,226
All Terrans are duplicitous
by their biology.
354
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:46,054
Or biplicitous by our duology.
355
00:19:46,097 --> 00:19:48,274
Neither "ology"
has anything to do with it.
356
00:19:48,317 --> 00:19:50,450
You may not be aware,
but in the past hundred years,
357
00:19:50,493 --> 00:19:52,103
we've discovered
a chimeric strain
358
00:19:52,147 --> 00:19:54,497
on the subatomic level
in the Terran stem cell.
359
00:19:54,541 --> 00:19:56,107
Silly holo.
360
00:19:56,151 --> 00:19:58,849
You cannot rattle me
by introducing a completely
361
00:19:58,893 --> 00:20:02,592
fabricated biological component
to my nastiness
362
00:20:02,636 --> 00:20:04,768
and inherently bad behavior.
363
00:20:04,812 --> 00:20:09,382
I'm extremely wicked,
even for a Terran.
364
00:20:12,907 --> 00:20:15,475
Who are you?
What if you're not a holo?
365
00:20:15,518 --> 00:20:18,260
- Make her stop.
- What if you're a human
366
00:20:18,304 --> 00:20:20,306
programmed to think he's a holo?
367
00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:27,835
You broke my holos.
368
00:20:27,878 --> 00:20:30,881
Blinking at their harmonic rate
disrupts the holo protocols,
369
00:20:30,925 --> 00:20:34,015
creating a reference loop
that shuts them down.
370
00:20:34,058 --> 00:20:37,105
Upgrade your programs
and stop wasting my time.
371
00:20:38,889 --> 00:20:41,065
Why are you wearing glasses?
372
00:20:41,109 --> 00:20:43,981
Um, they make me look smarter.
373
00:20:44,025 --> 00:20:45,461
I like 'em.
374
00:20:45,505 --> 00:20:48,725
I might decide to like you.
375
00:20:48,769 --> 00:20:50,727
Debrief as you will.
376
00:20:50,771 --> 00:20:52,642
Trauma unit to medbay 6.
377
00:20:52,686 --> 00:20:55,166
Vitals are dropping.
378
00:20:55,210 --> 00:20:58,909
- Pressure is spiking,
heart rate is climbing.
379
00:20:58,953 --> 00:21:00,302
Scan again.
380
00:21:00,346 --> 00:21:02,086
Two more cc's, right away.
381
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:06,526
You believe
they became ill on Urna?
382
00:21:06,569 --> 00:21:10,094
That planet's been deserted
for centuries.
383
00:21:10,138 --> 00:21:15,665
Y- Yes, but Urna is... well,
once was an industrial seat.
384
00:21:15,709 --> 00:21:17,972
A hub for the enrichment
of unstable metals.
385
00:21:18,015 --> 00:21:19,993
The Federation was just
beginning to sound the alarm
386
00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:22,629
about toxicity
a thousand years ago.
387
00:21:22,672 --> 00:21:24,283
The atmosphere was thinning,
388
00:21:24,326 --> 00:21:27,503
and they feared high
concentrations of UVB radiation
389
00:21:27,547 --> 00:21:30,245
would mutate the biology
of everything on the surface.
390
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,899
And that is what happened.
391
00:21:31,942 --> 00:21:35,859
If the Kili stopped there,
they scavenged there
392
00:21:35,903 --> 00:21:39,820
for indigenous plants, fruit,
any kind of nutrition.
393
00:21:39,863 --> 00:21:41,691
And whatever they ate
was mutated.
394
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:43,432
It was infected
with misfolding proteins
395
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:45,454
that have been spreading
in their bodies ever since.
396
00:21:45,478 --> 00:21:47,393
How do we fix the problem?
397
00:21:47,436 --> 00:21:49,308
We need a healthy protein sample
398
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:51,875
of the plant they ingested
to make an antidote.
399
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:54,138
But as all of Urna was affected,
400
00:21:54,182 --> 00:21:56,358
such a sample no longer exists.
401
00:21:56,402 --> 00:22:01,102
In the 23rd century, there was
a Federation seed-vault ship,
402
00:22:01,145 --> 00:22:03,713
the USS Tikhov.
403
00:22:03,757 --> 00:22:06,063
It held samples
of every plant in the galaxy.
404
00:22:06,107 --> 00:22:07,891
If it still exists,
it will have seeds
405
00:22:07,935 --> 00:22:09,937
from before the planet's
environmental collapse,
406
00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:12,156
and we can synthesize
an antidote from that.
407
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,595
The Tikhov is still around,
but it's five months away.
408
00:22:15,638 --> 00:22:18,772
Our spore drive can get us
thereand back in plenty of time.
409
00:22:18,815 --> 00:22:21,252
Your ship can get us there
410
00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:23,429
with that one man... Stamets.
411
00:22:23,472 --> 00:22:26,345
Willa, download Discovery's
specs.
412
00:22:26,388 --> 00:22:28,671
Everything on the spore drive,
and scramble a Federation team
413
00:22:28,695 --> 00:22:30,827
to pilot her.
I want it flying in an hour.
414
00:22:30,871 --> 00:22:32,220
- Yes, sir.
- Admiral!
415
00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:35,528
You have a crew ready
and able to fly now.
416
00:22:35,571 --> 00:22:37,288
You're going
to waste precious time teaching
417
00:22:37,312 --> 00:22:39,967
a new crew the ins and outs
of a thousand-year-old ship
418
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:41,577
flying through
a mushroom network?
419
00:22:41,621 --> 00:22:44,624
Watch your tone, Commander.
420
00:22:44,667 --> 00:22:46,234
You're not home yet.
421
00:22:47,844 --> 00:22:49,585
Admiral,
422
00:22:49,629 --> 00:22:52,022
I would ask
that you allow Discovery
423
00:22:52,066 --> 00:22:54,242
to serve as she is able.
424
00:22:54,285 --> 00:22:56,418
It and Commander Burnham
425
00:22:56,462 --> 00:22:59,726
are ideally suited
for this kind of away mission.
426
00:22:59,769 --> 00:23:02,381
Understanding it is
a matter of trust,
427
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:05,862
I will remain here with you
to assist.
428
00:23:08,561 --> 00:23:10,650
Lieutenant Willa and two
of our security officers
429
00:23:10,693 --> 00:23:13,174
will go with Commander Burnham.
430
00:23:13,217 --> 00:23:14,784
Get back fast.
431
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:17,570
Otherwise, it comes down on him.
432
00:23:28,232 --> 00:23:30,017
Undocking is complete,
Commander.
433
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:32,106
Bring us to safe distance,
please.
434
00:23:33,629 --> 00:23:36,197
Hope this fossil of a ship can
do what you say it can.
435
00:23:38,329 --> 00:23:40,897
Welcome aboard,
Lieutenant Willa.
436
00:23:40,941 --> 00:23:42,899
We're ready to go, Commander.
437
00:23:42,943 --> 00:23:45,249
We have three hours left
to retrieve the seed sample
438
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:46,903
and create an antidote
for the Kili.
439
00:23:46,947 --> 00:23:48,949
Let's show them who we are.
440
00:23:52,518 --> 00:23:54,171
You might want
to hold on to something.
441
00:23:58,132 --> 00:23:59,873
Black alert.
442
00:24:12,842 --> 00:24:14,907
- Whoa. We're at the
programmed coordinates,
443
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:17,064
but there's no sign
of the Tikhov.
444
00:24:17,107 --> 00:24:19,327
Scans show an ion storm
in range.
445
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:21,285
Bring it up.
446
00:24:22,765 --> 00:24:24,221
If these were the last-known
447
00:24:24,245 --> 00:24:26,116
coordinates of the Tikhov,
it must be in there.
448
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,509
Yellow alert.
449
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:29,293
Lieutenant Rhys,
prepare tractor beams.
450
00:24:29,337 --> 00:24:30,445
We'll have to pull it out
of the storm
451
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:32,645
before we can beam on board.
452
00:24:32,688 --> 00:24:35,038
- Aye, Commander.
- Lieutenant Detmer, get us over there.
453
00:24:35,082 --> 00:24:37,476
- Aye, Commander.
- It's going to be a bumpy ride.
454
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:39,739
Shields up.
455
00:24:50,271 --> 00:24:52,447
Shields holding at 90%.
456
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:55,276
Commander, I've located
the Tikhov. Magnifying now.
457
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:59,280
It's running on auxiliary power.
458
00:24:59,323 --> 00:25:00,629
Warp drive is off-line.
459
00:25:00,673 --> 00:25:02,196
There's unusual radiation.
460
00:25:02,239 --> 00:25:03,850
That must be interfering
with our scans.
461
00:25:03,893 --> 00:25:06,156
I can't get an accurate read
of life signs.
462
00:25:12,859 --> 00:25:14,179
How are we doing
on tractor beams?
463
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:15,707
- Not steady enough.
- I'm working on it.
464
00:25:25,045 --> 00:25:27,656
Shields are holding. You've got
time. You've got this.
465
00:25:34,402 --> 00:25:36,665
- Lieutenant?
- Engaging reverse thrusters.
466
00:25:36,709 --> 00:25:38,493
I just need to get us clear.
467
00:25:44,368 --> 00:25:45,413
- Go.
- Locking on.
468
00:25:49,983 --> 00:25:51,854
Got her.
469
00:25:51,898 --> 00:25:53,290
Pulling her out now.
470
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,298
And we're clear.
471
00:26:01,342 --> 00:26:04,563
Bryce, have Dr. Culber report
to the bridge.
472
00:26:04,606 --> 00:26:06,173
Nice work, Keyla.
473
00:26:06,216 --> 00:26:09,306
Hey, you did great.
474
00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:11,091
A closer call
than it should have been.
475
00:26:11,134 --> 00:26:13,876
Owo, what's the toxicity
of the radiation on that ship?
476
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,617
Scanner says it's non-ionizing,
477
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:17,706
so it shouldn't be a threat
to health.
478
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:20,187
But its composition is just odd.
479
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:22,363
- Tilly?
- Already analyzing it.
480
00:26:22,406 --> 00:26:24,147
Who needs what?
481
00:26:24,191 --> 00:26:26,410
There may be a medical
emergencyon the Tikhov.
482
00:26:26,454 --> 00:26:28,978
For the last 500 years,
each planet of the Federation
483
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:32,329
has taken turns keeping watch
over the seed vault.
484
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:36,769
Looks like a Barzan family
was most recent.
485
00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:42,339
- We joined the Federation?
- In the 25th century.
486
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:45,255
Never imagined.
487
00:26:45,299 --> 00:26:47,219
I haven't seen a Barzan
since I joined Starfleet.
488
00:26:47,257 --> 00:26:49,172
You will today.
I want you with us on this.
489
00:26:49,216 --> 00:26:51,218
We don't have time
to play catch-up,
490
00:26:51,261 --> 00:26:52,674
so get your "hellos"
out of the way fast.
491
00:26:52,698 --> 00:26:55,614
Anyway, the atmosphere
on board is attuned
492
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:58,181
to Barzan biology, so we'll
need breathing devices.
493
00:26:58,225 --> 00:27:00,706
So I can lose mine.
First time for everything.
494
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:02,751
The seed vault itself
495
00:27:02,795 --> 00:27:04,337
can only be accessed
by beaming into and out of it,
496
00:27:04,361 --> 00:27:06,165
so the transporter chief
will need to stay at the ready.
497
00:27:06,189 --> 00:27:07,495
Understood.
498
00:27:07,538 --> 00:27:09,889
Tilly, let me know what
you find on radiation.
499
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:13,196
And, Rhys, you have the conn.
500
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,937
Let's go.
501
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,507
What the hell?
502
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:21,683
Someone must have compromised
the seed vault.
503
00:27:21,727 --> 00:27:24,338
None of these plants
should be here.
504
00:27:24,381 --> 00:27:26,340
Barzan atmosphere lends itself
505
00:27:26,383 --> 00:27:28,516
to a more accelerated
plant growth.
506
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,431
Your eyes.
507
00:27:30,474 --> 00:27:33,521
Real air, real me.
508
00:27:34,827 --> 00:27:36,587
Well, radiation's nominal.
Whatever the source,
509
00:27:36,611 --> 00:27:38,265
it's dissipated.
510
00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:39,701
Levels are safe.
511
00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:41,834
- How many in the family?
- Four.
512
00:27:41,877 --> 00:27:43,923
Parents are scientists.
They have two kids.
513
00:27:43,966 --> 00:27:46,403
Oh, that's weird.
514
00:27:46,447 --> 00:27:48,579
A life sign just blinked on,
and then off again.
515
00:27:48,623 --> 00:27:50,166
Residual radiation
must still be interfering
516
00:27:50,190 --> 00:27:51,887
with our instruments.
517
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:53,497
We might not be able
to rely on them.
518
00:27:56,544 --> 00:27:58,546
Okay, seed vault
should be this way.
519
00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:19,306
You're curious about my badge.
520
00:28:19,349 --> 00:28:22,483
I'm bored. I thought I could
break it down for parts.
521
00:28:24,528 --> 00:28:27,096
Play with it.
522
00:28:34,756 --> 00:28:37,890
It's clear, Emperor,
what you're capable of.
523
00:28:37,933 --> 00:28:41,981
What's not clear to me is
why you chose to come here.
524
00:28:42,024 --> 00:28:44,548
- I have a curious nature.
- Really?
525
00:28:44,592 --> 00:28:46,768
April 5 is my birthday.
526
00:28:46,812 --> 00:28:48,465
A Terran holy day.
527
00:28:48,509 --> 00:28:52,208
April 5, 2063...
First-ever contact
528
00:28:52,252 --> 00:28:54,602
between Terrans
and a Vulcan survey ship.
529
00:28:54,645 --> 00:28:57,866
But then your people
slaughteredeverybody on board.
530
00:28:57,910 --> 00:29:00,347
Vulcans need to learnto stay
in their lane sometimes.
531
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,958
And it's not like
it's a high holy day.
532
00:29:03,002 --> 00:29:06,092
I've been fascinated by Terran
history and methodology
533
00:29:06,135 --> 00:29:07,441
since I was a boy.
534
00:29:07,484 --> 00:29:09,182
There are very few species
535
00:29:09,225 --> 00:29:11,488
that do things
simply to do them.
536
00:29:11,532 --> 00:29:14,361
We're mostly untroubled
by pesky motivations.
537
00:29:14,404 --> 00:29:15,928
Except for revenge.
538
00:29:15,971 --> 00:29:17,494
We do like that one.
539
00:29:17,538 --> 00:29:20,759
It seems you've created
an empire based on the maxim,
540
00:29:20,802 --> 00:29:22,456
"Because we feel like it. "
541
00:29:22,499 --> 00:29:25,981
So why would you ever join
a Starfleet crew?
542
00:29:26,025 --> 00:29:28,897
If you simply wantedto butcher
them, you would have.
543
00:29:28,941 --> 00:29:30,943
Much as I enjoy
being fetishized...
544
00:29:30,986 --> 00:29:32,945
And I do...
545
00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:37,776
I'll answer your questions
if you answer mine first.
546
00:29:37,819 --> 00:29:40,648
No, you won't really do that.
547
00:29:40,691 --> 00:29:43,520
Correct. -And even if you did, you'd lie.
548
00:29:43,564 --> 00:29:45,827
So the only way
I'll glean any information
549
00:29:45,871 --> 00:29:48,656
is via the questions you ask me.
550
00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:50,005
So, please.
551
00:29:51,615 --> 00:29:53,574
Who's really in charge now?
552
00:29:53,617 --> 00:29:56,838
The Burn appeared to have been
quite the humbling experience
553
00:29:56,882 --> 00:29:59,319
for the Federation.
Who was responsible?
554
00:29:59,362 --> 00:30:01,538
- That's two questions.
- Pick one.
555
00:30:01,582 --> 00:30:04,237
There are conflicting theories,
556
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,456
but no hard proof
557
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:08,502
pointing at any one
particular bad guy.
558
00:30:08,545 --> 00:30:11,113
Sounds like the Federation
lost a step.
559
00:30:11,157 --> 00:30:12,593
Or five.
560
00:30:12,636 --> 00:30:13,812
And yet it endures.
561
00:30:13,855 --> 00:30:15,422
Unlike the Terran Empire,
562
00:30:15,465 --> 00:30:17,380
which fell centuries ago.
563
00:30:18,642 --> 00:30:21,210
Were you aware
that the distance between
564
00:30:21,254 --> 00:30:23,734
our two universes
started expanding
565
00:30:23,778 --> 00:30:26,650
sometime after your departure?
566
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:28,565
There hasn't been
a single crossing
567
00:30:28,609 --> 00:30:31,307
in over 500 years.
568
00:30:31,351 --> 00:30:34,658
You didn't know that, did you?
569
00:30:34,702 --> 00:30:37,661
You're all alone now.
570
00:30:37,705 --> 00:30:40,229
I think...
571
00:30:40,273 --> 00:30:42,318
you and the Federation
are afraid.
572
00:30:42,362 --> 00:30:44,886
Because whoever did this
must be merciless.
573
00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:49,412
A threat to whatever
or whomever you hold dear.
574
00:30:49,456 --> 00:30:51,327
The weakness of people
575
00:30:51,371 --> 00:30:53,503
is generally other people...
576
00:30:53,547 --> 00:30:55,679
isn't it?
577
00:30:57,116 --> 00:30:58,291
You're not wrong.
578
00:30:58,334 --> 00:31:00,249
But that could also explain
579
00:31:00,293 --> 00:31:02,599
why you'd fall in line
with Discovery.
580
00:31:02,643 --> 00:31:05,080
There's a person
581
00:31:05,124 --> 00:31:06,473
on the crew...
582
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,779
you care about, isn't there?
583
00:31:17,223 --> 00:31:19,486
The family.
584
00:31:19,529 --> 00:31:21,531
Behind us.
585
00:32:02,007 --> 00:32:05,532
Adira played that same melody.
586
00:32:05,575 --> 00:32:08,013
How is that possible?
587
00:32:08,056 --> 00:32:09,753
What?
588
00:32:14,845 --> 00:32:17,631
Nothing.
589
00:32:17,674 --> 00:32:19,043
See if you can find
any sign of the family.
590
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:22,114
I'm going in the vault.
591
00:32:23,724 --> 00:32:25,639
Burnham to Discovery.
Do you copy?
592
00:32:25,682 --> 00:32:27,293
I'm right outside
the seed vault.
593
00:32:27,336 --> 00:32:29,730
- One to beam in.
- Aye, Commander.
594
00:32:43,831 --> 00:32:45,789
Wow.
595
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:04,721
You okay?
596
00:33:04,765 --> 00:33:07,507
I wish I'd gone home.
597
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:09,204
Before we came to the future.
598
00:33:10,814 --> 00:33:12,947
My species is known
for two things:
599
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,341
diligence and poverty.
600
00:33:15,384 --> 00:33:18,213
What little we get,
we invest in our children.
601
00:33:18,257 --> 00:33:21,129
Your family must have been soproud
when you joined Starfleet.
602
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:23,653
They were devastated.
603
00:33:25,525 --> 00:33:27,614
I can only imagine
when they heard about my death.
604
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,880
When was the last time
you heard your own language?
605
00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:37,667
Now.
606
00:33:39,756 --> 00:33:42,194
Now is the last time.
607
00:33:42,237 --> 00:33:44,457
I'll check in with Burnham.
608
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:46,850
If you want to search the logs,
I'll be fine.
609
00:33:46,894 --> 00:33:48,243
Yeah?
610
00:33:48,287 --> 00:33:50,158
Yeah.
611
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:02,127
Personal log, Dr. Attis.
612
00:34:02,170 --> 00:34:04,694
Stardate 802861.
613
00:34:04,738 --> 00:34:06,479
Living aboard the Tikhov
614
00:34:06,522 --> 00:34:08,437
and caring
for the Federation seed vault
615
00:34:08,481 --> 00:34:12,137
these past four monthshas
brought us closer than ever.
616
00:34:14,443 --> 00:34:17,316
Get out of the ion storm,
distress calls
617
00:34:17,359 --> 00:34:20,145
go nowhere, still can't
identifythe light that hurt them.
618
00:34:20,188 --> 00:34:22,321
I'm trying. I'm trying!
619
00:34:24,758 --> 00:34:26,542
The vault.
620
00:34:26,586 --> 00:34:28,066
I must find a cure...
621
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:44,821
Nhan, come here.
622
00:34:50,827 --> 00:34:53,700
The rest of the ship
is on auxiliary, but...
623
00:34:53,743 --> 00:34:55,876
whatever's behind here
seems to be...
624
00:34:55,919 --> 00:34:57,443
Running on full power?
625
00:35:01,751 --> 00:35:02,796
Do it.
626
00:35:21,771 --> 00:35:24,339
Cryostasis is normally used
627
00:35:24,383 --> 00:35:27,473
to preserve the living
for revival, but...
628
00:35:27,516 --> 00:35:29,997
- they're already gone.
- You're sure?
629
00:35:37,004 --> 00:35:39,311
Attis.
630
00:35:39,354 --> 00:35:41,313
Attis is alive.
631
00:35:41,356 --> 00:35:44,533
He's still trying to save them.
632
00:35:44,577 --> 00:35:47,754
That's what all these plants
are about.
633
00:35:47,797 --> 00:35:51,758
He broke open the seed vault
trying to grow a...
634
00:35:51,801 --> 00:35:53,803
a cure.
635
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:57,155
I think you mean a miracle.
636
00:35:57,198 --> 00:35:59,418
And if he's still alive,
where is he?
637
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:03,335
Verbalize code for entry.
638
00:36:03,378 --> 00:36:05,206
Uh...
639
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:06,816
- Access denied.
- Damn it.
640
00:36:06,860 --> 00:36:08,862
Access denied.
641
00:36:12,822 --> 00:36:15,085
No, the seeds are not yours!
642
00:36:17,305 --> 00:36:20,700
They're ours.
They need them.
643
00:36:20,743 --> 00:36:23,063
- They're going to come back.
- Please, we're here to help!
644
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,924
What?
645
00:36:34,844 --> 00:36:36,542
He was fighting me.
646
00:36:36,585 --> 00:36:38,425
He didn't want me
to get to those seeds, and...
647
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:41,024
there was something
about his face.
648
00:36:41,068 --> 00:36:43,853
It... folded in on itself
before he disappeared.
649
00:36:43,897 --> 00:36:45,594
It was as if his entire body was
650
00:36:45,638 --> 00:36:48,249
out of phase, somehow.
651
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:50,599
I saw something like that
on the log.
652
00:36:50,643 --> 00:36:53,254
It was like he was out of sync
with himself.
653
00:36:53,298 --> 00:36:55,430
Well, any ideas as to what
might have caused this?
654
00:36:55,474 --> 00:36:58,433
Well, I'd have to examine him
first, but I'm not confident
655
00:36:58,477 --> 00:37:00,455
he'd be able to fill in any
morethan we already know.
656
00:37:00,479 --> 00:37:02,263
But from what you're saying,
657
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:06,398
his grief seems to have
disconnected him from reality.
658
00:37:06,441 --> 00:37:09,531
He hasn't gone crazy, if that's
what you're suggesting.
659
00:37:09,575 --> 00:37:11,490
Well, his family
is clearly deceased,
660
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:12,969
and he won't accept that.
661
00:37:13,013 --> 00:37:15,972
Barzans don't have the same
ideaof death as humans.
662
00:37:16,016 --> 00:37:18,497
If there's logic
to his behavior,
663
00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:20,499
then maybe we can reason
with him.
664
00:37:20,542 --> 00:37:23,632
And we need his voice code
to access the vault,
665
00:37:23,676 --> 00:37:25,678
or those refugees are
as good as dead.
666
00:37:25,721 --> 00:37:27,462
The admiral has given us
this chance.
667
00:37:27,506 --> 00:37:29,290
We can't fail.
668
00:37:29,334 --> 00:37:30,528
Any ideas on how
to stop the phasing
669
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:32,554
long enough to talk to him?
670
00:37:32,598 --> 00:37:35,209
The phasing itself...
671
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:39,039
It might explain why he
survivedand his family didn't.
672
00:37:40,388 --> 00:37:42,608
If we can figure out
what happened,
673
00:37:42,651 --> 00:37:43,609
then maybe we can fix him.
674
00:37:43,652 --> 00:37:45,132
The team should be nearly done
675
00:37:45,175 --> 00:37:46,351
analyzing the radiation.
676
00:37:46,394 --> 00:37:48,048
Are these values from a magnetic
677
00:37:48,091 --> 00:37:49,267
or a mass spectrometer?
678
00:37:49,310 --> 00:37:50,268
Duh.
679
00:37:50,311 --> 00:37:51,834
Which means magnetic.
680
00:37:51,878 --> 00:37:53,358
I know what "duh" means.
681
00:37:53,401 --> 00:37:56,274
Can we just irradiate
your entire personality?
682
00:37:56,317 --> 00:37:58,232
Calibrating for cosmic
background radiation.
683
00:37:58,276 --> 00:37:59,775
I was just going to
ask you to do that.
684
00:37:59,799 --> 00:38:01,235
- Ask me to do that?
- Duh.
685
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,542
Your relationship
isn't very professional.
686
00:38:03,585 --> 00:38:05,239
It's how we work.
687
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:06,632
I've been trying
to raise the bar.
688
00:38:06,675 --> 00:38:08,721
- Tilly?
- Yes, hi, Michael.
689
00:38:08,764 --> 00:38:10,331
I'm here. You also have
690
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:11,482
Commander Stamets
and Commander Reno.
691
00:38:11,506 --> 00:38:12,464
We're analyzing the radiation.
692
00:38:12,507 --> 00:38:13,465
Listen.
693
00:38:13,508 --> 00:38:16,032
Dr. Attis is the only survivor.
694
00:38:16,076 --> 00:38:18,557
He described the ship being hit
by a bright light
695
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,602
and the bodies of his family
are showing
696
00:38:20,646 --> 00:38:22,300
high concentrations
of beta particles.
697
00:38:22,343 --> 00:38:24,345
Well, that could be
any number of things. I mean...
698
00:38:24,389 --> 00:38:25,912
He's also phasing
uncontrollably.
699
00:38:25,955 --> 00:38:27,435
Okay. Now we're on to something.
700
00:38:27,479 --> 00:38:29,524
Beaming is the only way
in or out
701
00:38:29,568 --> 00:38:31,439
of the seed vault, right?
702
00:38:31,483 --> 00:38:32,919
I'm gonna look
for the nearest star.
703
00:38:32,962 --> 00:38:34,616
You're thinking CME.
704
00:38:34,660 --> 00:38:36,531
- Yup.
- What am I missing?
705
00:38:36,575 --> 00:38:38,533
The ship may have been hit
by a CME...
706
00:38:38,577 --> 00:38:40,666
A coronal mass ejection.
707
00:38:40,709 --> 00:38:42,450
Kind of like a star burp.
708
00:38:42,494 --> 00:38:43,906
"Burp" in this instance would be
709
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:46,498
a- a massive radioactive
proton storm.
710
00:38:46,541 --> 00:38:49,457
It should kill anyone
instantly, but if Dr. Attis was
711
00:38:49,501 --> 00:38:52,460
in the process of beaming into
the vault when the CME hit,
712
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:54,656
the protons would've interfered
with the ship's magnetic
713
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,683
shielding and destabilized
his body's polarization on
714
00:38:57,726 --> 00:38:58,684
a quantum level.
715
00:38:58,727 --> 00:39:00,294
- Right.
- Bingo!
716
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:02,775
Oh, yup, CME almost,
uh, six weeks ago.
717
00:39:02,818 --> 00:39:04,516
And now his body's in limbo.
718
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:06,953
May I never say
the same about myself.
719
00:39:06,996 --> 00:39:08,694
Is there a way to bring him
back in phase?
720
00:39:08,737 --> 00:39:09,999
I think so.
721
00:39:10,043 --> 00:39:12,306
But I'm pretty sure
he's not gonna like it.
722
00:39:14,047 --> 00:39:16,005
Warning.
723
00:39:16,049 --> 00:39:18,704
Power failure.
724
00:39:18,747 --> 00:39:20,227
Warning.
725
00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:22,142
Power failure.
726
00:39:23,622 --> 00:39:25,928
Warning. Power failure.
727
00:39:25,972 --> 00:39:27,234
No! No, no, no, no, no, no!
728
00:39:27,277 --> 00:39:28,801
Warning. Power failure.
729
00:39:28,844 --> 00:39:30,629
Tilly, do you have him?
730
00:39:30,672 --> 00:39:32,587
Boosting our
transporter's magnetic field
731
00:39:32,631 --> 00:39:34,720
to match stable radiance.
732
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:36,286
You should see him...
733
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,681
now.
734
00:39:41,204 --> 00:39:43,032
Got him, thank you.
735
00:39:44,904 --> 00:39:46,732
Dysfunction aside...
736
00:39:46,775 --> 00:39:48,647
you all make a pretty good team.
737
00:39:48,690 --> 00:39:50,257
Dysfunction is the team.
738
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:52,259
We've just accepted it.
739
00:39:52,302 --> 00:39:53,826
No, we haven't.
740
00:39:55,828 --> 00:39:57,917
We're not trying to stop you
741
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,527
from finding a cure.
742
00:39:59,571 --> 00:40:02,704
We just need one set of seeds.
743
00:40:02,748 --> 00:40:04,576
There are other families
in trouble.
744
00:40:04,619 --> 00:40:07,361
We want to help them, too.
745
00:40:13,541 --> 00:40:15,238
You need to talk to him.
746
00:40:15,282 --> 00:40:17,284
I couldn't even come close
to understanding him
747
00:40:17,327 --> 00:40:19,460
- the way Nhan does.
- That's my point.
748
00:40:19,504 --> 00:40:21,244
It's too personal for her.
749
00:40:21,288 --> 00:40:22,985
Because they share
the same ethos,
750
00:40:23,029 --> 00:40:25,118
she's not being honest with him.
751
00:40:25,161 --> 00:40:27,642
He needs to know
that his family is gone,
752
00:40:27,686 --> 00:40:29,339
however brutal that may be,
753
00:40:29,383 --> 00:40:31,777
and that if he doesn't get
help soon, he's going to die.
754
00:40:31,820 --> 00:40:33,561
He has limits.
755
00:40:35,084 --> 00:40:36,608
And the Kili do, too.
756
00:40:51,405 --> 00:40:54,930
Dr. Attis, it's time to let go.
757
00:40:54,974 --> 00:40:56,889
Your family's gone.
758
00:41:00,022 --> 00:41:02,503
And I think you know that.
759
00:41:02,547 --> 00:41:04,766
Just like I think you know
there isn't anything
760
00:41:04,810 --> 00:41:07,421
on board that can change that.
761
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,728
But there is something on board
762
00:41:09,771 --> 00:41:11,773
that can help other families.
763
00:41:11,817 --> 00:41:13,819
Like yours.
764
00:41:19,346 --> 00:41:21,827
I know you had
to watch them die.
765
00:41:23,568 --> 00:41:25,483
I'm sorry.
766
00:41:27,397 --> 00:41:30,488
No one should ever have
to go through that.
767
00:41:32,664 --> 00:41:34,666
But there are others
that are about to walk
768
00:41:34,709 --> 00:41:36,624
where you've been walking,
769
00:41:36,668 --> 00:41:38,844
and you have
a chance to stop it.
770
00:41:38,887 --> 00:41:41,324
Please help us.
771
00:41:44,893 --> 00:41:47,505
Help them.
772
00:42:14,836 --> 00:42:17,796
Verbalize code for entry.
773
00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:20,189
Amma.
774
00:42:20,233 --> 00:42:22,104
Tolpra.
775
00:42:22,148 --> 00:42:24,237
Amma and Tolpra.
776
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,764
Two most beautiful moons
in our entire star system.
777
00:42:31,636 --> 00:42:33,986
They're my daughters.
778
00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:40,732
Dr. Attis...
779
00:42:40,775 --> 00:42:43,212
thank you.
780
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,760
Tilly, prepare to beam Dr.
Attisdirectly to sickbay.
781
00:43:52,804 --> 00:43:54,327
No.
782
00:43:54,370 --> 00:43:56,329
- I won't go.
- Dr. Attis,
783
00:43:56,372 --> 00:43:59,637
you are severely irradiated
from the original CME.
784
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,943
All of your internal organs
will have been damaged.
785
00:44:01,987 --> 00:44:04,903
Without treatment,
you will die within days.
786
00:44:04,946 --> 00:44:06,818
I won't leave my family.
787
00:44:11,866 --> 00:44:15,043
That man in there is incapable
of making rational decisions
788
00:44:15,087 --> 00:44:16,523
about his own health.
789
00:44:16,566 --> 00:44:18,220
Just because you don't
understand a choice
790
00:44:18,264 --> 00:44:20,092
doesn't make it irrational.
791
00:44:20,135 --> 00:44:21,833
Well, think
of the ship itself, then.
792
00:44:21,876 --> 00:44:24,879
It contains a living history
of the Federation.
793
00:44:24,923 --> 00:44:26,794
We need that now more than ever.
794
00:44:26,838 --> 00:44:29,057
We can't take him
against his will, either.
795
00:44:29,101 --> 00:44:31,799
He expressed his wishes clearly.
796
00:44:31,843 --> 00:44:34,584
Since when does Starfleet not
consider cultural mitigations?
797
00:44:34,628 --> 00:44:36,848
Hugh, why don't you take
these seeds back to Discovery,
798
00:44:36,891 --> 00:44:38,632
start working on an antidote?
799
00:44:42,201 --> 00:44:44,072
Thank you.
800
00:44:46,422 --> 00:44:47,815
One to science lab.
801
00:44:54,779 --> 00:44:57,825
I respect Dr. Attis's
personal choice,
802
00:44:57,869 --> 00:45:01,350
but Starfleet has always had
its own mores.
803
00:45:01,394 --> 00:45:06,051
One of them being never
to leave a person behind.
804
00:45:06,094 --> 00:45:08,444
So it's him
versus Starfleet, then?
805
00:45:08,488 --> 00:45:11,970
Sometimes there is
no good choice.
806
00:45:14,102 --> 00:45:15,887
Only what you can live with.
807
00:45:15,930 --> 00:45:19,412
I don't think
that I can live with letting
808
00:45:19,455 --> 00:45:21,719
part of the Federation's
historydie with him.
809
00:45:27,899 --> 00:45:29,291
Then I'll stay.
810
00:45:37,865 --> 00:45:42,914
Nhan, if you stay,
you'd be giving up your career.
811
00:45:45,003 --> 00:45:48,789
Considering
what Airiam and I went through,
812
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:52,532
let's just say...
I'm good here.
813
00:45:52,575 --> 00:45:56,928
I'll make sure Attis's family
gets home for a proper burial.
814
00:45:56,971 --> 00:46:01,062
And that the first Barzan watch
is completed successfully.
815
00:46:03,108 --> 00:46:06,415
And I'd like
to see my home again.
816
00:46:06,459 --> 00:46:08,766
I never thought I would.
817
00:46:10,376 --> 00:46:13,118
Are you gonna argue with me?
818
00:46:18,645 --> 00:46:21,213
A year ago, I would have.
819
00:46:23,215 --> 00:46:27,088
You know, I have never forgotten
820
00:46:27,132 --> 00:46:29,047
what you said
at Airiam's funeral.
821
00:46:29,090 --> 00:46:32,964
That one of the reasons
we join Starfleet is
822
00:46:33,007 --> 00:46:37,533
to reach for the best
in ourselves and each other.
823
00:46:39,622 --> 00:46:41,537
And I have never seen
824
00:46:41,581 --> 00:46:46,151
anyone reach for the best in
others quite like you, Michael.
825
00:46:48,153 --> 00:46:50,546
Don't ever stop.
826
00:47:00,339 --> 00:47:03,124
I really hope
our paths cross again.
827
00:47:03,168 --> 00:47:04,952
Me, too.
828
00:47:12,786 --> 00:47:14,919
One to beam back.
829
00:47:44,687 --> 00:47:47,038
It's my understanding,
per Lieutenant Willa's report,
830
00:47:47,081 --> 00:47:48,430
that Lieutenant Detmer and...
831
00:47:48,474 --> 00:47:50,215
Lieutenant Owosekun successfully
832
00:47:50,258 --> 00:47:54,001
took Discovery into an ion storm
to get to the Tikhov.
833
00:47:54,045 --> 00:47:56,047
Yes, sir.
834
00:47:56,090 --> 00:47:59,093
And Commander Nhan remained on
duty there for the Federation.
835
00:47:59,137 --> 00:48:00,921
Our entire crew understood
836
00:48:00,965 --> 00:48:04,316
the mission and were prepared
for any potential implications.
837
00:48:04,359 --> 00:48:07,232
We stand ready for more.
838
00:48:07,275 --> 00:48:09,887
Well, you should know we don'thave
five-year missions anymore.
839
00:48:09,930 --> 00:48:13,978
Exploration is a-a luxury
we cannot afford.
840
00:48:14,021 --> 00:48:16,894
Admiral, are you familiar
841
00:48:16,937 --> 00:48:20,158
with Earth's
Renaissance painter Giotto?
842
00:48:20,201 --> 00:48:21,222
Where are you going with this?
843
00:48:21,246 --> 00:48:22,353
The period before
the Renaissance
844
00:48:22,377 --> 00:48:25,554
was referred to
as the "Dark Ages. "
845
00:48:25,598 --> 00:48:27,034
A frightening time.
846
00:48:27,078 --> 00:48:29,210
Humanity was under siege
from wars
847
00:48:29,254 --> 00:48:33,258
and plagues and was,
well, losing its way.
848
00:48:33,301 --> 00:48:35,825
Giotto helped spark
the Renaissance
849
00:48:35,869 --> 00:48:38,916
when, with his art,
he helped create
850
00:48:38,959 --> 00:48:41,222
the three-point perspective.
851
00:48:41,266 --> 00:48:43,529
He saw depth.
852
00:48:43,572 --> 00:48:45,139
He saw entirety.
853
00:48:45,183 --> 00:48:47,794
And he gave what he saw
to the world.
854
00:48:47,837 --> 00:48:49,839
It made a difference.
855
00:48:49,883 --> 00:48:53,669
For the first time in
a long time, humans looked up.
856
00:48:53,713 --> 00:48:58,196
Discovery is a servantof the
Federation, but I believe
857
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,199
that our unique perspective
from a revered time may...
858
00:49:01,242 --> 00:49:04,332
May help us to look up.
859
00:49:05,464 --> 00:49:07,161
Yes, sir.
860
00:49:10,164 --> 00:49:12,732
We have been in triage
for a long time.
861
00:49:14,864 --> 00:49:16,997
Sir.
862
00:49:17,041 --> 00:49:20,522
We have a spore drive
that can take us anywhere,
863
00:49:20,566 --> 00:49:24,135
and a crew that operates
as one breathing organism,
864
00:49:24,178 --> 00:49:26,964
and Sphere data that offers
thousands of years of wisdom.
865
00:49:27,007 --> 00:49:32,143
Keep us together
and let us help.
866
00:49:32,186 --> 00:49:34,754
That's all we ask.
867
00:49:38,801 --> 00:49:41,979
But your crew...
They're only now beginning
868
00:49:42,022 --> 00:49:43,782
to wrangle with the trauma
they went through.
869
00:49:43,806 --> 00:49:45,895
Your pilot Detmer...
870
00:49:45,939 --> 00:49:49,290
Her baselines are unsteady,
to put it mildly.
871
00:49:49,334 --> 00:49:50,528
We've all put our lives
in Detmer's hands,
872
00:49:50,552 --> 00:49:52,119
and we'd do it again, sir.
873
00:49:57,429 --> 00:49:59,170
All right.
874
00:50:00,432 --> 00:50:04,044
But you go where I say,
when I say.
875
00:50:04,088 --> 00:50:05,393
We're not
in the Renaissance yet.
876
00:50:05,437 --> 00:50:07,134
Yes, sir.
877
00:50:07,178 --> 00:50:08,483
Anything else?
878
00:50:08,527 --> 00:50:10,268
- No, sir...
- The Burn.
879
00:50:10,311 --> 00:50:12,139
Sir.
880
00:50:13,358 --> 00:50:15,795
Are you at liberty
to discuss it with us now?
881
00:50:15,838 --> 00:50:19,625
We have more theories than
shipsin the fleet at the moment.
882
00:50:19,668 --> 00:50:22,323
The Federation never found
883
00:50:22,367 --> 00:50:24,891
enough data to support
one over the other.
884
00:50:24,934 --> 00:50:27,981
- Which theory do you believe?
- Doesn't matter.
885
00:50:28,025 --> 00:50:30,394
Unless you have a new piece
ofevidence that has gone unnoticed
886
00:50:30,418 --> 00:50:32,377
for 120 years...
887
00:50:32,420 --> 00:50:35,380
we have
far more immediate concerns.
888
00:50:35,423 --> 00:50:37,425
Challenge accepted.
889
00:50:39,384 --> 00:50:41,647
And understood, sir.
890
00:50:43,866 --> 00:50:47,174
Captain. Commander.
891
00:50:47,218 --> 00:50:49,176
Welcome home.
892
00:51:07,281 --> 00:51:09,240
Oh, Lieutenant Willa.
893
00:51:09,283 --> 00:51:12,069
Did you find anything about
thatmusic that I asked you about?
894
00:51:12,112 --> 00:51:13,853
Nothing to find.
895
00:51:13,896 --> 00:51:16,725
Half the people here know some
version of it, including me.
896
00:51:16,769 --> 00:51:19,250
Don't you find that strange?
897
00:51:19,293 --> 00:51:21,295
The Barzan planet, the Tikhov,
898
00:51:21,339 --> 00:51:24,559
they're unimaginably far away
from here without dilithium.
899
00:51:24,603 --> 00:51:26,039
And there's no way Dr. Attis
900
00:51:26,083 --> 00:51:28,346
could have come
anywhere near this sector.
901
00:51:28,389 --> 00:51:32,176
How is it that everyone
knows the same piece of music?
902
00:51:33,264 --> 00:51:35,396
Some things get in the ether.
903
00:51:43,665 --> 00:51:46,190
Philippa. Let me run
904
00:51:46,233 --> 00:51:48,931
something by you.
There's this piece of music...
905
00:51:50,150 --> 00:51:51,717
Philippa.
906
00:51:57,201 --> 00:51:59,246
Philippa?
907
00:52:02,423 --> 00:52:04,251
Are you okay?
908
00:52:04,295 --> 00:52:06,384
Michael.
909
00:52:07,472 --> 00:52:09,430
I asked if you were okay.
910
00:52:09,474 --> 00:52:14,261
Why would you ever, ever
ask me a question like that?
911
00:52:22,487 --> 00:52:25,272
Does it feel like home to you?
912
00:52:25,316 --> 00:52:27,361
Not yet.
913
00:52:29,494 --> 00:52:31,974
But I truly hope it will.
914
00:52:34,542 --> 00:52:37,937
The Federation is an ideal
that saved my life.
915
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:41,245
Not once, but many, many times.
916
00:52:41,288 --> 00:52:43,769
It's the people who saved mine.
917
00:52:45,771 --> 00:52:48,730
Over the last year,
I've come to realize that...
918
00:52:48,774 --> 00:52:52,473
the Federation is its people.
919
00:52:55,128 --> 00:52:58,349
I can't separate
the two anymore.
920
00:52:58,392 --> 00:53:00,655
One living organism?
921
00:53:01,743 --> 00:53:03,223
Yeah.
922
00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:06,531
I do value
your perspective, Michael.
923
00:53:10,491 --> 00:53:15,757
But I would ask that you choose
your words more carefully
924
00:53:15,801 --> 00:53:19,065
with the admiral than you did
before your departure,
925
00:53:19,108 --> 00:53:21,372
or it will impact us both.
926
00:53:23,461 --> 00:53:25,158
Yes, sir.
927
00:53:31,817 --> 00:53:34,559
So much we still do not know.
928
00:53:35,473 --> 00:53:38,171
But I am certain of one thing.
929
00:53:40,478 --> 00:53:43,350
We are both looking up.
