00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:33,902
- I shall. She sends the same to you.
- Mm.

164
00:07:40,909 --> 00:07:43,254
You want them back in the Federation.

165
00:07:43,259 --> 00:07:47,258
Earth was my mother's ancestral home.

166
00:07:47,263 --> 00:07:49,347
She never got to see it.

167
00:07:49,352 --> 00:07:52,481
And like Ni'Var, it would mean a lot

168
00:07:52,486 --> 00:07:56,659
to bring another founding member
back into the fold, so...

169
00:07:56,664 --> 00:07:59,145
yes, I would like that very much.

170
00:08:01,887 --> 00:08:05,128
I understand we've run into
an unexpected challenge

171
00:08:05,133 --> 00:08:06,451
with the coordinates?

172
00:08:06,456 --> 00:08:08,236
A slight delay.

173
00:08:08,241 --> 00:08:12,240
Well, I look forward to
Dr. Kovich's solution.

174
00:08:12,245 --> 00:08:14,334
Please.

175
00:08:16,771 --> 00:08:19,508
(AMPLIFIED): If I could have
everyone's attention, please,

176
00:08:19,513 --> 00:08:21,989
it's time to begin the assembly.

177
00:08:21,994 --> 00:08:23,473
Mr. Booker.

178
00:08:24,692 --> 00:08:26,341
It's been a while.

179
00:08:26,346 --> 00:08:28,430
You say that like we're friends.

180
00:08:28,435 --> 00:08:31,999
Well, one should never confuse
"friendly" with "friendship".

181
00:08:32,004 --> 00:08:34,436
This doesn't seem like
your kind of scene.

182
00:08:34,441 --> 00:08:36,438
No.

183
00:08:36,443 --> 00:08:39,772
Politicians are like
Gorathian sulfur slugs.

184
00:08:39,777 --> 00:08:43,445
Small-brained meat sacks
filled with hot gas,

185
00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:45,969
but they can provide a means
to an end, can't they?

186
00:08:45,974 --> 00:08:48,368
Sounds like you have
something specific in mind.

187
00:08:49,717 --> 00:08:51,980
Let's see how the day goes.

188
00:08:53,808 --> 00:08:57,720
Welcome, delegates,
Federation, non-Federation,

189
00:08:57,725 --> 00:09:01,071
in person and remote.

190
00:09:01,076 --> 00:09:03,944
The Federation is
60 member worlds strong.

191
00:09:03,949 --> 00:09:07,730
With all of you in attendance,
we are stronger.

192
00:09:07,735 --> 00:09:10,559
Our views don't always align.

193
00:09:10,564 --> 00:09:14,432
But the safety of our
shared galaxy is paramount.

194
00:09:14,437 --> 00:09:17,044
The scope of the peril

195
00:09:17,049 --> 00:09:19,612
that threatens us is unprecedented.

196
00:09:19,617 --> 00:09:21,744
As is the scope of this assembly.

197
00:09:21,749 --> 00:09:24,839
An act of trust between us all.

198
00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:28,229
I am grateful for your willingness

199
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,372
to collaborate at this critical time.

200
00:09:31,377 --> 00:09:34,109
You've each received
a joint intelligence report

201
00:09:34,114 --> 00:09:37,317
cataloging our collective
knowledge of the DMA,

202
00:09:37,322 --> 00:09:40,284
as well as the many efforts
made to neutralize it

203
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:42,722
in the weeks since it struck Kwejian.

204
00:09:42,727 --> 00:09:45,986
None were successful,
but there is new hope.

205
00:09:45,991 --> 00:09:48,684
We will soon have the exact location

206
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,381
of those responsible.

207
00:09:50,386 --> 00:09:54,385
Somewhere beyond the edge of our galaxy.

208
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:57,562
(GROANS, CONCERNED MURMURS)

209
00:09:57,567 --> 00:10:02,176
Our task today is to decide
on the best course of action.

210
00:10:02,181 --> 00:10:05,527
We will discuss, we will vote,

211
00:10:05,532 --> 00:10:09,300
and we will move forward
together to meet this threat.

212
00:10:09,305 --> 00:10:11,694
We should assemble an armada
and mount an attack.

213
00:10:11,699 --> 00:10:13,622
Communication must be
established as a baseline.

214
00:10:13,627 --> 00:10:15,145
We need to develop countermeasures.

215
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:17,931
One at a time. Please.

216
00:10:17,936 --> 00:10:19,550
General Ndoye.

217
00:10:19,555 --> 00:10:21,631
I believe their hostility should be met

218
00:10:21,635 --> 00:10:23,414
with a decisive show of strength.

219
00:10:23,419 --> 00:10:25,982
The DMA follows no discernable pattern,

220
00:10:25,987 --> 00:10:29,464
and therefore seems
an unlikely choice of weapon

221
00:10:29,469 --> 00:10:31,161
for such an advanced species.

222
00:10:31,166 --> 00:10:34,643
We cannot assume
their intent is hostile.

223
00:10:34,648 --> 00:10:37,037
Intent doesn't matter. Actions do.

224
00:10:37,042 --> 00:10:38,865
General, if I may?

225
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:41,441
Tartan voles consume
Denobulan blood worms

226

of their reproductive cycle.

227
00:10:43,831 --> 00:10:46,085
Caterpillars from the polyphemus moth

228
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:47,969
have been known to devour entire crops,

229
00:10:47,974 --> 00:10:50,006
leaving farmers with nothing.

230
00:10:50,011 --> 00:10:54,184
Yet we do not ascribe malice
to either species.

231
00:10:54,189 --> 00:10:55,664
We cannot judge their motives

232
00:10:55,669 --> 00:10:57,579
based on our own cultural contexts.

233
00:10:57,584 --> 00:10:59,102
We need more information.

00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:05,848
Captain Burnham's remarks
point us toward

237
00:11:05,853 --> 00:11:07,946
one logical path:

238
00:11:07,951 --> 00:11:10,287
a peaceful approach to first contact.

I believe their insights
may prove valuable.

243
00:11:24,437 --> 00:11:28,566
Zora is undergoing changes, Doctor,

244
00:11:28,571 --> 00:11:30,960
but I believe she means well.

245
00:11:30,965 --> 00:11:34,747
We always mean well
to ourselves, Captain.

246
00:11:34,752 --> 00:11:36,841
The problem is what
that means for others.

Commander Stamets,
are you feeling all right?

254
00:11:57,339 --> 00:12:00,207
You're saying we should
move this conversation

255
00:12:00,212 --> 00:12:02,035
to where Zora can't hear it,

256
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,952
in case she reacts negatively,
or possibly even vengefully?

257
00:12:05,957 --> 00:12:09,303
But full transparency is
critical to this process.

258
00:12:09,308 --> 00:12:12,106
Zora, I understand you have
a set of coordinates

259
00:12:12,111 --> 00:12:14,264
you don't wish to divulge.

260

<i>That's correct, Dr. Kovich.</i>

261
00:12:15,923 --> 00:12:18,051
<i>To do so would endanger the crew.</i>

262
00:12:18,056 --> 00:12:20,705
Commander Stamets,
you find this concerning.

263
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:21,972
I find it terrifying.

264
00:12:21,977 --> 00:12:25,449
It's very clear that she's
achieved full sentience.

265
00:12:25,454 --> 00:12:27,674
Add to that the fact that
she has unlimited access

266
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,802
to all of <i>Discovery's</i> systems,

267
00:12:29,807 --> 00:12:33,153
and she's allowing emotion
to supersede normal function...

268
00:12:33,158 --> 00:12:35,155
the possibilities of where this could go

269
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,766
are endless and unpleasant.

270
00:12:37,771 --> 00:12:40,813
Your sole previous interaction
with a sentient AI

271
00:12:40,818 --> 00:12:42,249
was Control, yes?

272
00:12:42,254 --> 00:12:46,644
It, um, nearly destroyed
life as we know it.

273
00:12:46,649 --> 00:12:49,430
Nothing is worth risking that again.

274
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,867
No one wants another Control,

275
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:53,913
but Zora has never expressed
anything other than

276
00:12:53,918 --> 00:12:55,436
the best of intentions.

277
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,525
CULBER: He's right, Paul.
And let's not forget,

278
00:12:57,530 --> 00:12:59,919
Control was never capable of emotions.

279
00:12:59,924 --> 00:13:01,572
That's what makes this worse.

280
00:13:01,577 --> 00:13:03,626
The coordinates are just
the tip of the iceberg.

281
00:13:03,631 --> 00:13:05,663
I mean, what if she gets mad at us

282
00:13:05,668 --> 00:13:08,275
and opens an airlock, or... or scared,

283
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,017
and-and fires off some photon torpedoes?

284
00:13:11,022 --> 00:13:13,410
We'd have no way of stopping her.

285
00:13:13,415 --> 00:13:15,382
Zora, when did you start developing

286
00:13:15,387 --> 00:13:17,023
a capacity for emotion?

<i>But the introduction

<i>into my systems must have
accelerated the process.</i>

292
00:13:27,212 --> 00:13:29,413
You're aware that
there's a proscription against

293
00:13:29,418 --> 00:13:31,531

294
00:13:31,536 --> 00:13:33,256

a long way in 930 years.

323

<i>and persuade Dr. Kovich
to let me remain.</i>

324
00:14:49,982 --> 00:14:54,459
Zora, do you mean to say
this failsafe would...

325
00:14:54,464 --> 00:14:56,689
<i>Terminate me? Yes.</i>

326
00:15:04,932 --> 00:15:08,961
I respectfully disagree.
Our shield technology

327
00:15:08,966 --> 00:15:12,442
could provide protection during
a non-aggressive first contact.

328
00:15:12,447 --> 00:15:14,792
And if they respond with
aggression themselves?

329
00:15:14,797 --> 00:15:16,446
We need to be prepared.

330
00:15:16,451 --> 00:15:19,454
The Federation recently
reminded my people

331
00:15:19,459 --> 00:15:21,717
that we need not fear the unknown,

332
00:15:21,722 --> 00:15:24,324
and we cannot presume ill intent.

333
00:15:24,329 --> 00:15:26,761
We would consider extending
that same courtesy

334
00:15:26,766 --> 00:15:29,633
- to Species Ten-C.
- T'RINA: I believe we must.

335
00:15:29,638 --> 00:15:31,331
Too many lives have been lost already.

While you're debating whether
to approach this species

with war or peace, you're losing sight

341
00:15:50,952 --> 00:15:53,532
of the real problem: the anomaly...

342
00:15:55,969 --> 00:15:59,146
... and the powerful device
at its center that controls it.

343
00:15:59,151 --> 00:16:01,278
We need to stop it.

Oh, I know, I know... you've tried.

You fired 1,600 quantum
torpedoes into it,

346
00:16:08,503 --> 00:16:11,414
you scrapped countless probes.

347
00:16:11,419 --> 00:16:13,759
How much latinum have you liquidated

348
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,723
trying to solve
how to get a ship inside?

349
00:16:15,728 --> 00:16:18,055
Every one of you have washed out. Why?

350
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:22,512
Because, speaking frankly,
you're not me,

351
00:16:22,517 --> 00:16:24,041
and you don't have this.

352
00:16:26,739 --> 00:16:29,128
It's based on my experiment
on board <i>Discovery.</i>

353
00:16:29,133 --> 00:16:31,043
I took what I learned about the device

354
00:16:31,048 --> 00:16:34,133
at the center of the DMA
and designed this.

355
00:16:34,138 --> 00:16:37,049
A weapon capable of destroying it.

356
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,878

this will actually work.

Mr. Tarka, the protocols
of this assembly

360
00:16:58,379 --> 00:17:01,029
are not something you may flaunt
for your own benefit.

361
00:17:01,034 --> 00:17:03,336
Madam President, the good assembly

362
00:17:03,341 --> 00:17:04,989
asked for a plan.

363
00:17:04,994 --> 00:17:09,646
I can provide one
for everyone's benefit.

364
00:17:09,651 --> 00:17:11,779
You may elaborate.

365

Thank you.

366
00:17:14,178 --> 00:17:18,265
My research shows that the
device controlling the anomaly

367
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:20,570
requires an immense amount of power.

368
00:17:20,575 --> 00:17:23,878
To sever the device from
its internal power source,

369
00:17:23,883 --> 00:17:26,185
I need a detonation capable

370
00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:29,188
of creating a cascading subspace burst.

We all live happily ever after.

And how do you propose
to deliver this payload?

There's an area of relative
calm around the device.

378
00:17:48,037 --> 00:17:49,456
We could use <i>Discovery</i>

379
00:17:49,461 --> 00:17:52,154
to jump in, release my weapon,
then get out.

(INDISTINCT ARGUING)

382
00:17:59,962 --> 00:18:03,744
Mr. Tarka, as your plan
involves my ship,

383
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:05,833
I'd like to ask for some clarification.

384
00:18:05,838 --> 00:18:08,357
Of course, Captain Burnham.

385
00:18:08,362 --> 00:18:10,781
It's a pleasure to finally meet.

386
00:18:10,786 --> 00:18:12,361
What can I clarify?

387
00:18:12,366 --> 00:18:15,625
"A cascading subspace burst"
sounds a lot like

388
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:17,801
the result of an isolytic explosion.

389
00:18:17,806 --> 00:18:20,674
TARKA: Mm. You could say that.

390
00:18:20,679 --> 00:18:23,511
Isolytic weapons were banned
in the Khitomer Accords

391
00:18:23,516 --> 00:18:24,721
for good reason.

392
00:18:24,726 --> 00:18:26,593
And I'm guessing Federation leadership

393
00:18:26,598 --> 00:18:29,335
can make an exception for
a once-in-a-lifetime crisis.

394
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:32,185
These types of ordinance
cause irreparable damage

395
00:18:32,190 --> 00:18:33,269
to subspace.

396
00:18:33,274 --> 00:18:36,124
It's a feature. It's not a bug.

397
00:18:36,129 --> 00:18:39,301
We want to destroy this thing,
not tickle it.

398
00:18:39,306 --> 00:18:41,495
The damage could cause warp travel

399
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,714
to be impossible in that sector.

400
00:18:43,719 --> 00:18:46,052
And what's the chance
that the subspace bursts

401
00:18:46,057 --> 00:18:48,397
don't travel back through
the DMA's wormhole

402
00:18:48,402 --> 00:18:50,312
and harm those on the other side?

403
00:18:50,317 --> 00:18:52,162
Collateral damage.

404
00:18:52,167 --> 00:18:54,664
And after what they've done,
does it matter?

405
00:18:54,669 --> 00:18:56,666
BURNHAM: It does.

406
00:18:56,671 --> 00:18:59,147
They could see it as an act of war,

407
00:18:59,152 --> 00:19:01,285
and retaliate with who knows
what kind of firepower?

408
00:19:03,012 --> 00:19:06,236
Not to mention catapulting a toxic void

409
00:19:06,241 --> 00:19:07,677
across the galaxy.

410
00:19:07,682 --> 00:19:09,505
My proposal carries some risk,

411
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:11,594
but not nearly as much as doing nothing.

412
00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:13,335
If we detonate this weapon,

413
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:15,568
we cannot control
the message we're sending.

414
00:19:15,573 --> 00:19:17,357
If we wait for the coordinates,

415
00:19:17,362 --> 00:19:19,668
we can make first contact peacefully.

416
00:19:19,673 --> 00:19:22,170
Carefully. And then
we can determine intent

417
00:19:22,175 --> 00:19:23,389
before we act.

418
00:19:23,394 --> 00:19:25,504
It is not the flashiest idea,

419
00:19:25,509 --> 00:19:27,306
but it is what's most in line

420
00:19:27,311 --> 00:19:29,177
with Starfleet and Federation ideals.

421
00:19:29,182 --> 00:19:31,440
While you hold fast to your ideals,

approach the Ten-C directly,

or destroy the DMA controller
immediately.

I'm the first human host

The Trill wanted to kill me, too.

I don't want to kill anyone.

450

They realized that they had
to work on acceptance,

451

which is exactly what
we should be doing with Zora.

This is a safety switch. That's it.

Discipline. Not death.

468

Zora, I must point out
that your willingness

469
00:21:25,807 --> 00:21:28,427
to terminate yourself runs counter

00:21:57,722 --> 00:22:00,676
What about with the Klingons?
How is this different?

483
00:22:00,681 --> 00:22:03,400
I had an intrinsic understanding
of Klingon culture.

484
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:06,421
We don't have any knowledge
about Species Ten-C.

485
00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:08,641
And I understand the appeal
of Tarka's plan,

486
00:22:08,646 --> 00:22:10,033
but the risks are too great.

487
00:22:10,038 --> 00:22:12,253
Risks are just that. Risks.

488
00:22:12,258 --> 00:22:15,430
What we know for sure is that
the DMA will keep killing

489
00:22:15,435 --> 00:22:16,536
if we do nothing.

490
00:22:16,541 --> 00:22:18,607
Communication, diplomacy, this is why

491
00:22:18,612 --> 00:22:20,175
the Federation has survived for so long,

492
00:22:20,179 --> 00:22:23,177
and it will save the
most lives in the end.

493
00:22:23,182 --> 00:22:26,049
- I am sure of that.
- I'm not.

494
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:29,288
Well, I understand how you feel.

495
00:22:29,293 --> 00:22:30,798
BOOK: But you don't agree.

496
00:22:31,843 --> 00:22:33,410
No.

497
00:22:35,107 --> 00:22:37,147
Look, listen...

498
00:22:37,152 --> 00:22:40,025
I need to take a walk.
A real one this time.

499
00:22:51,863 --> 00:22:54,338
I know how hard this must be.

500
00:22:54,343 --> 00:22:56,776
Which approach do you favor?

501
00:22:56,781 --> 00:22:58,560
I think you can guess.

502
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:00,954
Then you have to speak to that.

503
00:23:00,959 --> 00:23:02,582
Make the argument for diplomacy.

504
00:23:02,587 --> 00:23:06,629
It was difficult enough bringing
all of these worlds together.

505
00:23:06,634 --> 00:23:08,892
I have to remain impartial.

506
00:23:08,897 --> 00:23:11,834
But I believe you can convince them.

507
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,885
If you're ready for that.

508
00:23:22,981 --> 00:23:25,326
You have to go back in there
and convince them.

509
00:23:25,331 --> 00:23:27,371
Yours is the only plan
that makes any sense.

510
00:23:27,376 --> 00:23:29,809
Your captain's very good
at poking holes.

511
00:23:29,814 --> 00:23:31,637
The risk level's the issue, okay?

512
00:23:31,642 --> 00:23:33,813
- Mm.
- Tell them you'll make it safer.

513
00:23:33,818 --> 00:23:36,685
One doesn't make isolytic weapons safer.

514
00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:38,948
Misses the point.

515
00:23:38,953 --> 00:23:41,298
What's your next move?

516
00:23:41,303 --> 00:23:43,257
I don't know yet.

517
00:23:43,262 --> 00:23:44,506
They're about to vote.

518
00:23:44,511 --> 00:23:47,862
I'm acutely aware of that. Thank you.

519
00:23:51,052 --> 00:23:53,267
I got rid of my scar the second I could.

520
00:23:53,272 --> 00:23:56,580
We all wear grief in our own ways.

521
00:24:04,283 --> 00:24:06,541
It has to be you.

522
00:24:06,546 --> 00:24:08,630
You have to talk to them,

523
00:24:08,635 --> 00:24:10,893
convince them to let us
destroy that thing.

524
00:24:10,898 --> 00:24:12,721
Why do you care so much about this?

525
00:24:12,726 --> 00:24:14,275
What, I can't want the DMA destroyed

526
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,725
just like any other
good galactic citizen?

527
00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:20,294
Good citizens aren't worried
about finding their moment,

528
00:24:20,299 --> 00:24:23,607
and aren't gutted at
the idea of losing it.

529
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:31,131
The power source that
controls the device...

530
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:34,569
I need it... to go home.

531
00:24:34,574 --> 00:24:35,918
You said you were from Risa.

532
00:24:35,923 --> 00:24:38,813
My new home. It's...

533
00:24:40,885 --> 00:24:43,099
... far.

534
00:24:43,104 --> 00:24:45,232
Another universe, in fact.

535
00:24:45,237 --> 00:24:46,755
The mirror universe?

536
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,067
You say that like it's
the only other option.

537
00:24:50,111 --> 00:24:52,718
There are countless parallel universes,

538
00:24:52,723 --> 00:24:56,373
each with its own quantum signature.

539
00:24:56,378 --> 00:25:01,422
He knew of one. No war, no Burn.

540
00:25:01,427 --> 00:25:03,298
No Emerald Chain.

541
00:25:04,648 --> 00:25:07,689
A place where we could
be free and at peace.

542
00:25:07,694 --> 00:25:09,473
Who's "we"?

543
00:25:09,478 --> 00:25:12,085
A friend.

544
00:25:12,090 --> 00:25:15,741
A scientist, like me.

545
00:25:15,746 --> 00:25:18,134
We were held in the same lab.

546
00:25:18,139 --> 00:25:20,523
Osyraa had us working
on dilithium alternatives

547
00:25:20,528 --> 00:25:21,616
for years.

548
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:23,710
But he was relentlessly optimistic.

549
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,839
Eventually, it rubbed off on me.

550
00:25:26,844 --> 00:25:29,058
And we had a plan.

551
00:25:29,063 --> 00:25:31,974
We knew exactly how much power we needed

552
00:25:31,979 --> 00:25:34,498
to cross the gap between universes.

553
00:25:34,503 --> 00:25:36,022
What happened?

554
00:25:36,027 --> 00:25:39,460
I escaped, he didn't.

555
00:25:39,465 --> 00:25:42,855
Or maybe he did. Maybe he's there.

556
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:46,902
We said that if we...
ever got separated,

557
00:25:46,907 --> 00:25:49,035
that's where we'd meet.

558
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,646
I'm sorry.

559
00:25:51,651 --> 00:25:54,606
Anyway, I have to go home.

560
00:25:54,611 --> 00:25:57,783
I have to keep our promise.

561
00:25:57,788 --> 00:26:01,600
The DMA will be destroyed,
the power source won't.

562
00:26:01,605 --> 00:26:03,258
We'll both get what we need.

563
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,401
You have to talk to them, Booker.

564
00:26:07,406 --> 00:26:09,969
You mean I have to talk to <i>her.</i>

I feel their final moments every day.

I pray none of you ever
have to experience

577
00:26:57,935 --> 00:26:59,279
that kind of pain.

578
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:00,759

I, too, value those things
in normal times.

583
00:27:10,034 --> 00:27:11,857
But these are not normal times.

584
00:27:11,862 --> 00:27:13,859
Irreparable harm has already been done.

585
00:27:13,864 --> 00:27:17,171
We need to defend ourselves.

that your operating system has evolved.

Wait, I've seen this sector before.

610
00:29:03,364 --> 00:29:07,159
There's a tiny area in the
optical translator cluster

that doesn't share any known syntax.

from a 930-year-old system,

616

about this sector?

if it goes both ways.

687

We're all in this together.

And the only way we get through this...

The only way we'll move
forward is together.

And that means you need
to trust us, too, Zora.

no matter the risk?

698
00:33:25,035 --> 00:33:27,710
Or do we proceed thoughtfully?

699

Work toward the future

700

when a decision is reached,

whatever it is, that
we can hold together.

00:39:33,772 --> 00:39:35,813
<i>It wouldn't be much of a fail-safe</i>

811
00:39:35,818 --> 00:39:37,315
<i>if I could dismantle it myself,</i>

812
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,751
<i>Mr. Saru.</i>

813
00:39:38,756 --> 00:39:41,824
Allow me. With pleasure.

814
00:39:50,097 --> 00:39:52,443
I'll inform the powers that be.

815
00:39:52,448 --> 00:39:53,922
Sir,

816
00:39:53,927 --> 00:39:56,838
if I hadn't changed my mind,

817
00:39:56,843 --> 00:40:00,451
would you really have extracted her?

818
00:40:00,456 --> 00:40:03,641
My evaluation was as much
about you and the others

819
00:40:03,646 --> 00:40:05,281
as it was about Zora.

820
00:40:05,286 --> 00:40:08,310
I can see now that
partnership is possible

821
00:40:08,315 --> 00:40:09,547
on both sides.

822
00:40:09,552 --> 00:40:11,853
But if that hadn't been the case,

823
00:40:11,858 --> 00:40:13,489
I would have recommended

824
00:40:13,494 --> 00:40:16,776
that you be reassigned to another ship.

825
00:40:18,212 --> 00:40:20,258
As it should be.

826
00:40:27,961 --> 00:40:30,508
Hey. Got a sec?

827
00:40:34,272 --> 00:40:36,225
You should go.

828
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:38,184
To Trill.

829
00:40:38,189 --> 00:40:39,577
You can catch the shuttle

830
00:40:39,582 --> 00:40:41,013
before it leaves from the assembly.

831
00:40:41,018 --> 00:40:42,754
How did you know I didn't want to wait?

832
00:40:42,759 --> 00:40:44,843
The way you looked earlier.

833
00:40:44,848 --> 00:40:47,106
The way you lit up
at the sight of Trill.

834
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:50,544
The way you're all lit up right now.

835
00:40:50,549 --> 00:40:52,551
This is something you need to do.

836
00:40:53,596 --> 00:40:55,201
Go home.

837
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:56,594
Train with Guardian Xi.

838
00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:58,421
Come with me.

00:40:58,426 --> 00:41:00,902

840
00:41:00,907 --> 00:41:03,514
This is where I can make a difference.

841
00:41:03,519 --> 00:41:05,211
But...

842
00:41:05,216 --> 00:41:07,892
we'll be fine, and you'll make,
like, a million friends,

843
00:41:07,897 --> 00:41:09,115
so... (CHUCKLES)

844
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,347
You're not scared
about long-distance at all?

845
00:41:11,352 --> 00:41:14,786
Oh, I am. I'm terrified.

846
00:41:14,791 --> 00:41:17,228
But I have trust in us.

847
00:41:18,664 --> 00:41:22,620
Plus, Tilly's snow globe
says "all is possible",

848
00:41:22,625 --> 00:41:24,535
so... (CHUCKLES)

849
00:41:24,540 --> 00:41:26,058
Besides, it's not goodbye yet.

850
00:41:26,063 --> 00:41:28,012
<i>Discovery</i> can spare me for a few days

851
00:41:28,017 --> 00:41:29,888
while I get you settled.

852
00:41:29,893 --> 00:41:31,193
Really?

853
00:41:31,198 --> 00:41:33,718
I may have already put in for leave.

854
00:41:33,723 --> 00:41:37,591
- You are incandescence.

I'm pleased to find you
still in attendance.

860
00:41:54,657 --> 00:41:56,871
I had hoped for a moment
in your company,

861
00:41:56,876 --> 00:41:59,265
but life gets in the way.

862
00:41:59,270 --> 00:42:00,614
So often.

863
00:42:00,619 --> 00:42:03,443
I have some time before I must depart.

864
00:42:03,448 --> 00:42:05,601
More than a moment, as it turns out.

865
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,683
I would like that.

866
00:42:09,585 --> 00:42:11,886
May I ask what you are holding?

867
00:42:11,891 --> 00:42:13,714
Oh, i-it is a gift.

868
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,516
Uh, you honored me

869
00:42:15,521 --> 00:42:17,239
with salt tea on Ni'Var.

870
00:42:17,244 --> 00:42:20,225
Uh, the gel from this
succulent's flowers

871
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:23,223
is what gives the tea
its distinctive taste.

872
00:42:23,228 --> 00:42:27,232
It-it grows in a small,
equatorial desert on Kaminar,

873
00:42:27,237 --> 00:42:29,334
so it should thrive

874
00:42:29,339 --> 00:42:33,130
in the hot, dry climate of Ni'Var.

875
00:42:35,132 --> 00:42:37,743
Thank you, Mr. Saru.

876
00:42:37,748 --> 00:42:39,658
Thank you for this opportunity.

I know they can take care of themselves.

- XI: I will look after them both.
- CULBER: Thank you.

00:42:47,187 --> 00:42:50,359
I expect regular updates.

881
00:42:50,364 --> 00:42:52,666
And I'll see you in a week.

882
00:42:52,671 --> 00:42:53,711
Okay.

Introducing the next

That's boring. Aurellio needs
to come up with a better name.

890
00:43:24,398 --> 00:43:25,847
So, where's the nav system

891
00:43:25,852 --> 00:43:27,663
in this floating bachelor pad of yours?

What?

893
00:43:30,230 --> 00:43:32,314
- BOOK: It's tiny.
- TARKA: Oh, I'm sorry.

894
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:34,577
The ability to rapidly
install into any ship

895
00:43:34,582 --> 00:43:36,062
is not enough for you?

Once we get past the need

He become too close to this.

I believe that there is no one else

who could possibly correct his path.

How long do you need
to build the weapon?

924
00:45:04,405 --> 00:45:05,655
24 hours should do it.

This will stop the DMA.
No one else has to die.

But it is critical that we succeed.

928
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:15,750
Booker's outside Federation territory.

929
00:45:15,755 --> 00:45:18,695
He'll be without a weapon,
without a badge, without authority.

930
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:20,200
And there maybe a few surprises.

- Aye, Captain.

they risk provoking a highly
