1
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,575
Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:12,316 --> 00:00:14,713
BOOK: Pull up Kwejian
on the deep-space array.
3
00:00:14,718 --> 00:00:17,586
- BURNHAM: What happened?
- My ship was hit by something.
4
00:00:17,591 --> 00:00:19,024
BOOK: They're gone.
5
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:21,295
STAMETS: Five light-years across.
6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,285
That's the size
of the gravitational anomaly
7
00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:25,561
that hit Kwejian.
8
00:00:25,566 --> 00:00:26,736
The DMA disappeared.
9
00:00:26,741 --> 00:00:30,304
It reappeared 4.2 seconds later,
10
00:00:30,309 --> 00:00:32,393
1,000 light-years away.
11
00:00:32,398 --> 00:00:34,352
BURNHAM: The only logical explanation
12
00:00:34,357 --> 00:00:35,788
is someone created it.
13
00:00:35,793 --> 00:00:37,603
VANCE: For now, we're classifying
14
00:00:37,608 --> 00:00:41,093
those responsible
as Unknown Species Ten-C.
15
00:00:41,098 --> 00:00:45,058
ZORA: Thank you, Commander,
for reaching toward me.
16
00:00:45,063 --> 00:00:47,626
- GRAY: What are those?
- The coordinates.
17
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:50,324
- To Species Ten-C.
- I'm struggling.
18
00:00:50,329 --> 00:00:52,588
The DMA has brought up
a lot of, uh, uncertainty.
19
00:00:52,593 --> 00:00:54,285
You are only human.
20
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:56,953
If you don't find fulfillment
in something other than work,
21
00:00:56,958 --> 00:01:00,378
then you will fail those
in the chair in front of you.
22
00:01:00,383 --> 00:01:01,814
And I designed this.
23
00:01:01,819 --> 00:01:04,900
A weapon capable of destroying the DMA.
24
00:01:04,905 --> 00:01:07,820
A "cascading subspace burst"
sounds a lot like the result
25
00:01:07,825 --> 00:01:09,374
of an isolytic explosion.
26
00:01:09,379 --> 00:01:11,110
My proposal carries some risk,
27
00:01:11,115 --> 00:01:12,956
but not nearly as much as doing nothing.
28
00:01:12,961 --> 00:01:15,436
We need to defend ourselves.
29
00:01:15,441 --> 00:01:17,434
BURNHAM: If we make
first contact peacefully,
30
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,832
then we can determine
intent before we act.
31
00:01:19,837 --> 00:01:22,642
Introducing the next
generation spore drive.
32
00:01:22,647 --> 00:01:24,741
We have 94 seconds
before they realize it's gone
33
00:01:24,746 --> 00:01:26,770
and figure out I'm the one who took it.
34
00:01:27,497 --> 00:01:28,972
Next part's all you.
35
00:01:28,977 --> 00:01:30,531
Book. No.
36
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:44,509
VANCE: I need Booker's ship found.
37
00:01:44,514 --> 00:01:46,411
Scramble every available vessel.
38
00:01:46,416 --> 00:01:48,134
Eisenberg class, shuttle, I don't care.
39
00:01:48,139 --> 00:01:50,119
They've stolen classified tech.
40
00:01:50,124 --> 00:01:51,947
Do we have any idea where it is?
41
00:01:51,952 --> 00:01:52,997
Negative, sir. It spore-jumped.
42
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,469
- Any idea where it's headed?
- Not yet, sir.
43
00:01:54,473 --> 00:01:56,173
All available personnel are looking.
44
00:01:56,178 --> 00:01:58,884
Can anyone please tell me,
how the hell did our prototype
45
00:01:58,889 --> 00:02:00,034
get out in the first place?
46
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:02,210
Security requires dual
authorization, does it not?
47
00:02:02,215 --> 00:02:03,837
Yes, sir. It has dual authorization.
48
00:02:03,842 --> 00:02:05,556
Uh, Ruon Tarka entered his code somehow
49
00:02:05,561 --> 00:02:06,910
in conjunction with, uh...
50
00:02:09,408 --> 00:02:11,441
... yours, sir.
51
00:02:12,324 --> 00:02:13,674
RILLAK: Admiral.
52
00:02:16,346 --> 00:02:19,022
I'll ask you both just once.
53
00:02:19,027 --> 00:02:21,764
Did you have any idea this was coming?
54
00:02:21,769 --> 00:02:24,680
- BOTH: No, Madam President.
- Okay, then,
55
00:02:24,685 --> 00:02:28,635
how did you have no idea it was coming?
56
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,687
Tarka was your guy, Admiral.
57
00:02:31,692 --> 00:02:33,602
Handpicked. You gave him free reign.
58
00:02:33,607 --> 00:02:34,951
Barely any oversight.
59
00:02:34,956 --> 00:02:37,662
And it is one thing to miss the capacity
60
00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:40,191
for criminal misbehavior
in a professional relationship,
61
00:02:40,196 --> 00:02:42,345
but yours was also personal.
62
00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:45,722
I knew Book was struggling,
but he... he gave no indication
63
00:02:45,727 --> 00:02:47,821
that he would do something like this.
64
00:02:48,447 --> 00:02:49,710
Hmm.
65
00:02:51,476 --> 00:02:54,823
That spore drive technology
is the closest we have come
66
00:02:54,828 --> 00:02:57,408
to ending our dilithium dependence.
67
00:02:57,413 --> 00:03:00,345
If word gets out that
the only functional prototype
68
00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:03,893
has been stolen,
it will threaten everything.
69
00:03:03,898 --> 00:03:07,344
Including trust that we have the ability
70
00:03:07,349 --> 00:03:11,596
to pull off this monumental
first contact mission
71
00:03:11,601 --> 00:03:14,555
that you just helped to sell
a few hours ago.
72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,906
That doesn't even take into account
73
00:03:16,911 --> 00:03:19,682
the risk we now run of provoking
74
00:03:19,687 --> 00:03:22,359
a highly advanced species
who are capable
75
00:03:22,364 --> 00:03:25,818
of destroying us all,
if Booker and Tarka succeed.
76
00:03:25,823 --> 00:03:27,307
BURNHAM: With all due respect, ma'am,
77
00:03:27,312 --> 00:03:29,301
he's a good man
who's not thinking clearly.
78
00:03:29,306 --> 00:03:32,295
He's grieving, he's-he's dealing
with unimaginable loss.
79
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,898
He thinks he's preventing
another Kwejian.
80
00:03:33,902 --> 00:03:36,556
We are trying to prevent
something even worse.
81
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,563
I can get him to see that
before it's too late.
82
00:03:39,568 --> 00:03:41,600
In order to build an isolytic weapon,
83
00:03:41,605 --> 00:03:43,341
Tarka needs isolynium.
84
00:03:43,346 --> 00:03:45,796
That's a black-market element
that is not easy to track down.
85
00:03:45,801 --> 00:03:47,330
That buys us time to find them.
86
00:03:47,335 --> 00:03:49,367
Discovery's primary repairs are done.
87
00:03:49,372 --> 00:03:50,543
We can leave immediately.
88
00:03:50,548 --> 00:03:52,119
I know you want to help, Captain.
89
00:03:52,123 --> 00:03:53,328
But you're too close to this.
90
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,591
You cannot be involved.
91
00:03:55,596 --> 00:03:58,350
I'm told Intelligence has
identified four vendors
92
00:03:58,355 --> 00:04:00,822
who are believed to
have access to isolynium.
93
00:04:00,827 --> 00:04:02,806
I'm deploying ships to all locations
94
00:04:02,811 --> 00:04:05,696
with orders to detain
Booker and Tarka on sight.
95
00:04:05,701 --> 00:04:08,147
Good. In the meantime, I'd ask
96
00:04:08,152 --> 00:04:11,050
that Discovery gather data
on Species Ten-C.
97
00:04:11,055 --> 00:04:13,617
We have to prepare for a first contact,
98
00:04:13,622 --> 00:04:16,669
provided our rogue associates
don't beat us to it.
99
00:04:17,496 --> 00:04:18,845
I agree.
100
00:04:19,846 --> 00:04:22,191
You have your orders, Captain Burnham.
101
00:04:22,196 --> 00:04:23,415
Dismissed.
102
00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:36,684
TARKA: So, how'd it feel?
103
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:38,190
The spore drive.
104
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:40,253
The interface. Efficiency.
105
00:04:40,258 --> 00:04:42,951
Hit me. Come on, you're
the first real beta tester.
106
00:04:42,956 --> 00:04:45,575
- It's impressive.
- Oh, come on, now.
107
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:46,999
Specifics.
108
00:04:47,004 --> 00:04:49,375
It works. It'll help us stop the DMA.
109
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:51,033
That's all that matters to me.
110
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,136
Can't fault your honesty.
111
00:04:54,141 --> 00:04:57,357
We're safe for now,
out of scanner range.
112
00:04:57,362 --> 00:04:59,402
How long do you need
to build the weapon?
113
00:04:59,407 --> 00:05:00,726
24 hours should do it.
114
00:05:00,731 --> 00:05:03,237
- (TRILLING)
- She's hailing you again.
115
00:05:04,108 --> 00:05:07,320
Yeah. And there's this, too.
116
00:05:09,287 --> 00:05:11,658
TARKA: Well, it's not the most
flattering picture of me,
117
00:05:11,663 --> 00:05:13,534
but you, you look fantastic.
118
00:05:15,554 --> 00:05:18,378
It's not lost on me, what
you're giving up to do this.
119
00:05:18,383 --> 00:05:21,381
It's worth it, whatever
my sentence turns out to be.
120
00:05:21,386 --> 00:05:22,904
Your sentence?
121
00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:25,411
Once billions of lives
are saved, you'll be a hero.
122
00:05:25,416 --> 00:05:27,592
That's not how the Federation works.
123
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,086
You had half the assembly
eating out of your hand.
124
00:05:31,091 --> 00:05:34,002
- We still lost the vote.
- Rillak's a political animal.
125
00:05:34,007 --> 00:05:35,482
Once the DMA is gone,
126
00:05:35,487 --> 00:05:37,671
she'll face political
pressure to pardon us.
127
00:05:37,676 --> 00:05:39,847
She'll find a way to explain
that, in this case,
128
00:05:39,852 --> 00:05:41,644
the ends justified the means.
129
00:05:41,649 --> 00:05:44,317
Let's just worry about saving
the billions of lives first.
130
00:05:44,322 --> 00:05:46,977
Okay?
131
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,414
Very well.
132
00:05:51,137 --> 00:05:53,265
Once you've secured us some isolynium,
133
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:56,459
- I can finish the third phase of...
- Wait, what?
134
00:05:56,464 --> 00:05:58,984
You made it sound like
you knew exactly how to get it.
135
00:05:58,989 --> 00:06:00,676
I was counting on the Federation's help.
136
00:06:00,681 --> 00:06:02,683
- We don't have that now.
- Unbelievable.
137
00:06:02,688 --> 00:06:04,032
What's the issue here?
138
00:06:04,037 --> 00:06:05,582
I thought couriers could find anything.
139
00:06:05,586 --> 00:06:07,080
Buying something
that's dangerous and rare
140
00:06:07,084 --> 00:06:09,204
is never easy, especially
with Starfleet on our asses.
141
00:06:12,915 --> 00:06:14,787
(LOW BEEPING)
142
00:06:16,354 --> 00:06:20,092
I know a place that
won't be on their radar.
143
00:06:20,097 --> 00:06:21,789
But it's gonna cost us.
144
00:06:21,794 --> 00:06:24,270
See? That's the spirit.
145
00:06:24,275 --> 00:06:27,104
And don't worry, cost won't be an issue.
146
00:06:33,153 --> 00:06:34,981
(DOOR CHIMES)
147
00:06:37,679 --> 00:06:39,290
- Come.
- (DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN)
148
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,809
Admiral.
149
00:06:41,814 --> 00:06:43,903
(DOOR WHOOSHES CLOSED)
150
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,324
I first met Ruon Tarka
151
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,127
when he was giving a lecture
ten years ago.
152
00:06:55,132 --> 00:06:59,479
One of the most brilliant minds
I've ever encountered.
153
00:06:59,484 --> 00:07:03,709
He had all these ideas
for new propulsion systems
154
00:07:03,714 --> 00:07:05,789
and power sources.
155
00:07:05,794 --> 00:07:08,362
Made it sound like
anything was possible.
156
00:07:10,321 --> 00:07:11,931
And I believed him.
157
00:07:14,455 --> 00:07:16,240
I still do.
158
00:07:17,067 --> 00:07:19,325
I keep asking myself,
159
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:21,022
why would he do this?
160
00:07:21,027 --> 00:07:23,116
What am I missing?
161
00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:27,642
Sir, I wish I had answers.
162
00:07:29,731 --> 00:07:33,692
Maybe Tarka couldn't handle the
council voting down his plan?
163
00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:36,912
He has quite the ego...
164
00:07:38,697 --> 00:07:41,308
... but I don't think that's it.
165
00:07:46,226 --> 00:07:49,055
I just got my family back, Captain.
166
00:07:52,102 --> 00:07:55,274
The thought that I will have
to send them away again,
167
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:59,365
for their protection, because
someone I brought into the fold
168
00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:03,586
might invite a war that
we couldn't possibly win...
169
00:08:03,591 --> 00:08:05,240
We will figure this out.
170
00:08:05,245 --> 00:08:09,649
And I will do everything in my
power to help make things right.
171
00:08:09,654 --> 00:08:12,473
I think we can both agree
that Booker's not foolish enough
172
00:08:12,478 --> 00:08:15,734
to buy isolynium from
any of the known suspects.
173
00:08:17,688 --> 00:08:21,426
Sir, you and President Rillak
were pretty clear.
174
00:08:21,431 --> 00:08:24,690
Yes, and it's very important for
the Federation president and I
175
00:08:24,695 --> 00:08:26,218
to present a united front,
176
00:08:26,223 --> 00:08:29,986
so I would never

Data on what lies
beyond the galactic barrier

is extremely limited.

Well, um, like I said, it's limited.

But the orbit of
the extragalactic stars nearby

gravitational presence.
207
00:11:15,603 --> 00:11:17,892
There's definitely something there.
208
00:11:17,897 --> 00:11:21,113
To find out what, we'll
need a visual on the area.
209
00:11:21,118 --> 00:11:22,692
Any idea how to do that?

I may have something.
212
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:29,364
The sphere data has records
of a civilization
213
00:11:29,369 --> 00:11:31,876
located 30 light-years away
from these coordinates,
214

just inside the galactic barrier.
215
00:11:33,752 --> 00:11:35,880
The Stilph. They're warp-capable.
216
00:11:35,885 --> 00:11:37,925
So they're advanced enough
and close enough
217
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:39,692
that their standard stellar surveys
218
00:11:39,697 --> 00:11:41,189
should cover the area we need.
219
00:11:41,194 --> 00:11:44,845
Zora, has the Federation ever
crossed paths with the Stilph?
220
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:48,148
No. And no diplomatic relations exist.
221
00:11:48,153 --> 00:11:50,677
But they've dealt with
the Orions in the past.
222
00:11:50,682 --> 00:11:53,593
Mm. Rather complicated intermediaries.

ZORA: I'd be happy to
complete that task myself.
233

It is perhaps more tedious
than is worthy of your time.

The Federation isn't exactly welcome
238
00:12:35,368 --> 00:12:37,404

to keep its distance.

in assuming that this broker

is from your courier days
with Mr. Booker?
243
00:12:46,261 --> 00:12:48,345
Yes.
244
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:51,257
And are President Rillak
and Admiral Vance aware
245
00:12:51,262 --> 00:12:54,178

00:36:21,909 --> 00:36:24,176
Yeah, so, we don't agree
on a lot of things right now,
706
00:36:24,181 --> 00:36:26,735
but we both know they
cannot get the isolynium.
707
00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:28,737
I don't plan on losing it to them.
708
00:36:28,742 --> 00:36:31,435
Or to you, for that matter.
709
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,698
You're great at Leonian Poker.
710
00:36:32,703 --> 00:36:34,482
You're a hell of a lot better than me.
711
00:36:34,487 --> 00:36:36,310
But you're no sure thing.
712
00:36:36,315 --> 00:36:38,312
No one is.
713
00:36:38,317 --> 00:36:40,706
- So?
- So,
714
00:36:40,711 --> 00:36:42,621
you remember Schaefer Colony?
715
00:36:42,626 --> 00:36:43,926
BOOK: Mm-hmm.
716
00:36:43,931 --> 00:36:46,886
Odds can be modified
717
00:36:46,891 --> 00:36:49,633
if we work together.

Want a Tetryonic Dosimeter
to measure potency?
722
00:37:04,978 --> 00:37:06,496
- No, thank you.
- (CHUCKLES)
723
00:37:06,501 --> 00:37:08,821
Isolynium has the same
metallic luster as pyrite,
724
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:10,910
and its crystals are equant,
725
00:37:10,915 --> 00:37:14,414
meaning they have
roughly equal dimensions.
726
00:37:15,441 --> 00:37:17,229
When cut with impurities,
727
00:37:17,234 --> 00:37:20,006
opacity and shape are affected, so...
728
00:37:20,011 --> 00:37:23,004
Learn a lot of useful
things as a courier.
729
00:37:23,009 --> 00:37:24,053
This is the real deal.

I don't know what's happening
between you two,
731
00:37:26,931 --> 00:37:29,493
and I've never really
been much for love,
732
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:31,060
but for what it's worth,
733
00:37:31,065 --> 00:37:33,664
I hope it still works out.

Last bet on the hand.
737
00:37:46,802 --> 00:37:48,687
And as the saying goes,

You know, I...
753
00:38:57,021 --> 00:38:59,801
I played a game once at Schaefer Colony.
754
00:38:59,806 --> 00:39:01,537
There-there was this guy who bet it all
755
00:39:01,542 --> 00:39:03,700
on a new wardrobe,
thinking it was his night,
756
00:39:03,705 --> 00:39:05,659
only to go home
in the emperor's new clothes
757
00:39:05,664 --> 00:39:07,853
on a flush draw. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
758

Not that anybody was complaining.

Lieutenant Commander Owosekun,
779
00:41:08,813 --> 00:41:11,463
what's your opinion
of what Book and I are doing?
780
00:41:11,468 --> 00:41:14,066
I assume you toe the company line?
781
00:41:14,071 --> 00:41:17,765
I actually understand why
you saw this as a way to go.
782
00:41:17,770 --> 00:41:20,672
- Hmm.
- Still a gigantic risk.
783
00:41:20,677 --> 00:41:23,075
Hoping it doesn't blow back
on all of us.
784
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,599
And to do this against
the advice and will of so many
785
00:41:25,604 --> 00:41:28,446
takes a hell of a big ego, no?
786
00:41:30,130 --> 00:41:32,385
I'm not surprised you think that.
787
00:41:33,568 --> 00:41:35,348
What is it, then?
788
00:41:35,353 --> 00:41:37,389
You're the Federation's genius darling.
789
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:39,508
Why throw it all away?
Makes no damn sense.
790
00:41:39,513 --> 00:41:42,468
I couldn't care less what
the Federation thinks of me.
791
00:41:42,473 --> 00:41:43,573
It's not about them.
792
00:41:43,578 --> 00:41:46,103
So who is it about, then?

So this is, what, revenge?

00:41:54,938 --> 00:41:57,436
You're getting back at someone?
797

Or keeping a promise, maybe,
to that someone who died.

Okay, you're boring me.

it never does.

and others will understand.

Maybe.
836

The only thing that would be worse
837
00:46:09,131 --> 00:46:11,955
is that sacrifice done for nothing.

RILLAK: As I understood it,
843
00:46:24,086 --> 00:46:26,366
you were gathering data
for first contact

00:46:26,371 --> 00:46:28,891
and doing nothing else.
845
00:46:28,896 --> 00:46:31,415
I was there to acquire
a rare set of stellar surveys.
846
00:46:31,420 --> 00:46:33,332
Thought it would shed some
light on what's located
847

at the 10-C's coordinates.
848
00:46:34,772 --> 00:46:36,564
They're being analyzed now.
849
00:46:36,569 --> 00:46:38,609
Did I hope to run into Book
in the process?
850
00:46:38,614 --> 00:46:41,486
Yes, that is also true.
851
00:46:41,491 --> 00:46:43,588
I can't help but be impressed
by your ability
852
00:46:43,593 --> 00:46:45,764
to navigate a loophole, Captain.
853
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,330
Wouldn't be surprised if you had
some inspiration, either.
854
00:46:50,335 --> 00:46:52,941
I am troubled, however,
that you were not able
855
00:46:52,946 --> 00:46:55,552
to make your loophole count.
856
00:46:55,557 --> 00:46:58,468
You should have found a way to
drag Booker and Tarka back here.
857
00:46:58,473 --> 00:47:00,253
With respect, Madam President,
858
00:47:00,258 --> 00:47:02,995
she was outside Federation territory,
859
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,911
without a weapon, without
a badge, without authority.
860
00:47:05,916 --> 00:47:10,176
Be that as it may, she literally
bet it all, and lost.
861
00:47:10,181 --> 00:47:14,471
Not quite. Book is incredible
at Leonian Poker,
862
00:47:14,476 --> 00:47:17,209
so going into the game, I
already knew that I would lose.
863
00:47:17,214 --> 00:47:21,091
So, I made the best play
that I could with the hand
864
00:47:21,096 --> 00:47:22,441
that I was dealt.
865
00:47:22,446 --> 00:47:24,320
When cut with impurities,
866
00:47:24,325 --> 00:47:26,566
opacity and shape are affected, so...
867
00:47:26,571 --> 00:47:28,133
I planted a tracker.
868
00:47:28,138 --> 00:47:31,092
Same kind Starfleet put
in dilithium shipments
869
00:47:31,097 --> 00:47:33,312
back when deliveries were being stolen.
870
00:47:33,317 --> 00:47:36,302
And as you may remember,
Madam President,
871
00:47:36,307 --> 00:47:39,310
the signal can be detected
from multiple sectors away.
872
00:47:46,721 --> 00:47:51,713
Not many people have the ability
to surprise me, Captain Burnham.
873
00:47:51,718 --> 00:47:54,068
I won't deny what Book means to me.
874
00:47:56,867 --> 00:48:00,796
But I also won't compromise
my commitment
875
00:48:00,801 --> 00:48:03,830
to the safety of the
Federation and everyone in it.
876
00:48:05,832 --> 00:48:07,829
They're not moving.

00:48:07,834 --> 00:48:10,489
Tarka's assembling the weapon.
878
00:48:11,359 --> 00:48:14,388
We'll only have one shot
at surprising them.
879
00:48:14,393 --> 00:48:15,881
It has to count.
880
00:48:15,886 --> 00:48:17,796
We'll begin mission-planning
immediately.

00:48:21,617 --> 00:48:23,366
has something very important
to show you.
884
00:48:23,371 --> 00:48:25,391
It cannot wait.
885
00:48:26,453 --> 00:48:29,761
This is what we found
at the species' coordinates.
886
00:48:31,545 --> 00:48:33,986
Their technological capabilities
887
00:48:33,991 --> 00:48:36,702
are beyond our wildest assumptions.
888
00:48:36,707 --> 00:48:38,642
How do you conclude that from this?
889
00:48:38,647 --> 00:48:40,862
It looks like a... blob.
890
00:48:40,867 --> 00:48:43,308
Natural astrophysical objects
891
00:48:43,313 --> 00:48:45,488
emit a broad spectrum
of black body radiation.
892
00:48:45,493 --> 00:48:46,899
This does not.
893
00:48:46,904 --> 00:48:49,162
Therefore, it can only be artificial.
894
00:48:49,167 --> 00:48:51,473
And, whatever it is,
895
00:48:51,478 --> 00:48:55,459
it's 228 million kilometers in radius.
896
00:48:55,464 --> 00:48:57,661
That's enough to contain a host star
897
00:48:57,666 --> 00:49:00,508
with two or three orbiting bodies.
898
00:49:00,513 --> 00:49:03,163
Any signals being emitted
from inside of this thing?
899
00:49:03,168 --> 00:49:04,947
None that we can register.
900
00:49:04,952 --> 00:49:08,890
The structure...
a hyperfield of some kind...
901
00:49:08,895 --> 00:49:11,675
seems to function
as some sort of Faraday cage.
902
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,809
We have no way of knowing what's inside.
903
00:49:14,814 --> 00:49:16,806
Must be astronomical,
the amount of energy
904
00:49:16,811 --> 00:49:18,417
required to maintain that.
905
00:49:18,422 --> 00:49:21,076
VANCE: Where would
all that energy come from?
906
00:49:21,081 --> 00:49:24,750
Zora, analyze the areas
of space left behind
907
00:49:24,755 --> 00:49:26,882
after the DMA changed location.
908
00:49:26,887 --> 00:49:28,075
What are you thinking?
909
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,416
The remaining gases
and elements should all fall
910
00:49:30,421 --> 00:49:32,044
within known statistical parameters,
911
00:49:32,049 --> 00:49:36,222
but if something specific
is missing, like boronite...
912
00:49:36,227 --> 00:49:38,789
Boronite. Of course!
913
00:49:38,794 --> 00:49:41,183
Mr. Saru, if you don't mind?
914
00:49:41,188 --> 00:49:44,191
Boronite is an element
that forms naturally,
915
00:49:44,196 --> 00:49:46,972
albeit in infinitesimal quantities.
916
00:49:46,977 --> 00:49:51,406
In sufficient amounts, however,
it can be synthesized
917
00:49:51,411 --> 00:49:55,114
into some of the most powerful
substances in existence.
918
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:59,785
Would there be enough energy
for this hyperfield of theirs?
919
00:49:59,790 --> 00:50:00,790
And then some.
920
00:50:00,795 --> 00:50:02,966
ZORA: Your hypothesis
was correct, Captain.
921
00:50:02,971 --> 00:50:04,803
There's no trace of boronite at any
922
00:50:04,808 --> 00:50:07,022
of the DMA's prior known locations.
923
00:50:07,027 --> 00:50:08,371
The DMA removed it.
924
00:50:08,376 --> 00:50:10,591
They mined it.
925
00:50:10,596 --> 00:50:12,854
That's the purpose of the DMA.
926
00:50:12,859 --> 00:50:14,856
That's why it seems to move so randomly.
927
00:50:14,861 --> 00:50:16,292
It's not a weapon.
928
00:50:16,297 --> 00:50:17,729
It's a dredge.
929
00:50:17,734 --> 00:50:20,919
If the DMA is their mining equipment,
930
00:50:20,924 --> 00:50:23,312
we can only imagine
what their weapons are like.
931
00:50:23,317 --> 00:50:25,967
And if their power supply is threatened,
932
00:50:25,972 --> 00:50:29,497
it will almost certainly
be seen as a hostile act.
933
00:50:30,446 --> 00:50:33,406
Booker and Tarka must be stopped.
934
00:50:35,189 --> 00:50:37,214
Whatever the cost.
935
00:50:38,515 --> 00:50:40,039
I know.
