﻿Last season on Star Trek : Discovery

dilithium supplies dried up

The Federation tried alternative warp drive designs

but none proved reliable. Then came the Burn

No one knows how or why it happened

but in an instant all dilithium went in rt

Any ship with an active warp core detonated

The Federation as we know it disappeared overnight

This is where the Burn started

'm reading that there is dilithium

dispersed throughout this entire planet

Federation could use that kind of news right about now

There'sasignal coming from the center of the nebula.

The message is over 100 years old

This is Dr.lssaofthe KSFKh'ieth

Those spots on Dr.Issa's head.she was pregnant.

We have come to rescue the child

Suk al. That is his name

I think we may have just found the source of the Burn

You are no longer alone

Saru has asked for time to consider his next steps

Hell return to Kamin ar

to help S uk al build a new life

This is home now

No K we jian is home.

I really liked seeing K we jian

really liked being there with you

Have you spoken with Saru?

Yes,sir,have but..

He wants you to captain Discovery. I do,o

So many worlds have been struggling since the Burn

You found a way to mine that dilithium on that planet

You and your crew can bring it to them

You can bring them hope Commander Burnham.

They have waited long enough,and l think so have you

Everybody ready

Yes, Captain

Let'sfly

It is an honor to be the first visitors

your planet has received since the Burn.

On behalf of the United Federation of Planets

we thank you.

We ve been sent to convey their desire

to reconnect with your great civilization

and to raise the possibility of sharing resources

and technology in the future

It's tradition to give a gift as a means of establishing trust

so,as ges tue o food will

we've brought dilithium on our ship

and we'd be pleased to offer it to you

as we've done with many other worlds

No strings attached

Oh, I'm sorry

Uh,that's an idiom,a non-literal ex.

Were familiar

Perhaps we should speak plainly

forego the niceties of politics

Oh, I believe there's been a misunderstanding

No misunderstanding

You brought something you think we need,

along with the tantalizing offer to help yourselves

to our technological bounty

all for the low,low price of..

no strings attached

Yea h, I'm pretty sure she said the words "possibility

and “share,"but other than that.

Book.

l am aware that in the decades leading up to the Burn,

your relationship with the Federation was strained

But you've changed

things are different now w cantu

We scanned your ship

You brought a third life -form to our planet

Yeah,that's Grudge

Grudge?

Felis cat us,adomestic species

of small carnivorous mammal.

You claim to understand our culture

yet you bring a carnivore to our world?

Domestic. T said domestic

She's...my pet. She lives on my ship

feed her,ovhr hrc at

ls she grateful?

No. No.

In no way

It's bad attitude

Yet you expect us to be

No. Oh,no,no,no.

Have you come to make pets of us?

We have n't come to make you anything

Let me explain.

Uh,shes a queen

You hold a Monarch captive?

Oh.no. No,non on o

Oh, Emperor Lee U..

..we have the utmost respect

We have the utmost respect

for -for you or.

This is bad. This is really bad

Okay yu thy thing

My what?

Your..

your empathy thing,rih riw

brought you here to connect with them

I don't think they want to connect

You will take us to your ship

We will free the queen

Yup. Time to go

They're not gonna be happy when they see a massive starship

They're not going to.

What?

It wouldn't fit through the trees

I'm sending the little guy

And it'll be here in time

We're about to find out

Oh,why is there always a cliff?

Why did you say "carnivore "to the butterfly people?

They are not butterfly people

Why do you even have a pet

Why don't you just have a hologram goldfish

I had one Grudge ate it.

Who eats a hologram

The butterflies are shooting at us. Bring up weapons system

No. No,do not fire back. This is a diplomatic mission

Then I'm beaming us out of here

No,whave to ive them dilithium

They don't want it!

If we leave now they will never trust the Federation again

Orwe'll come back when they're in a better mood

Why haven't they hit us?

What?

The Als hain. At this range,they should have hit us by now

And that's a problem

Captain,

sensors have you moving erratically. Everything okay

Yup. Just negotiating

Uh,about to hit a tree

Hang on!

“ Don't fire back,"she says

They're having trouble navigating

Still able to shoot at us.

Great. May be well live long enough for me to pet my hostage again

That's it.

It's their satellites

You're not explaining,e you

Rhys wou hlp

Want me to send a team down

No. It's a science problem

ls this a chase? Are you in the middle of a chase?

The Als hain can't stay on course in flight

I think we need to get their satellites working again

Aye, Cain Well figure it out

Uh, Commander Stamets

Unless the Als hain have been hitting the Romulan whiskey,which I doubt

the problem has to be.

Oh,the planet'smagnetic poles

They started shifting 300 years ago

The y'renow14 degrees west of where they'd been

for hundreds of thousands of years

Al shain use the magnetic fields to navigate during flight

Like birds?

Oh did you know birds are born

with a mineral substance called magnetite that helps them

determine the magnetic field so they can find true north

They'd have developed technology

to help compensate for the shift

Captain was right.

The dead satellites. They're..

Geomagnetic compensators

Nice work otf you

Jov ar Tal loved birds. So

All right,team whats up with the compensators?

Why aren't they working?

They use dilithium to stabilize the power supply

And Im not getting dilithium signatures from any of them.

They're out of juice.

Captain Burnham?

Got it. Send DOTs with enough dilithium

to restart the array

That is a monumentally shitty idea

You want to make it easier for them to catch us?

We have to earn their trust

More Al sha incoming

If we give you some covering fire.

Do not fire! We ve got this!

No, Michael w not

We're done. I'm beaming us out.

We can't

Not every moment is a victory

Compensator re-initialized, Captain

You were saying

Congratulations

Now they can shoot right at us. Can we go now

You tell me.

Yes.

You're welcome

Captain,the emperor is hailing us

Hmm. Thank you, Lent Christopher

Put him through

You did not experience a pleasant visit, Captain Burnham

That's one way of putting it

Then may l inquire

Why still give us your dilithium?

Because were the Federation

lt'swhat we do

And if you need anything else whe

No strings attached

Well,that was a hell of a thing

Thanks,vy

All right.

Let's fly

a
PHASER

RA

The Federation'sgift

of dilithium can take us back to the stars

Or it can benefit our citizens

in their daily lives here on Kamin ar

The danger of travel is too great

And the Burn can not happen again

now that T have left the dilithium planet

How can you be sure? There is always a risk.

We can not live in fear

We've gotten through this

Great Elder,y hav yet share your own perspective

We would value your words immensely

Su K al is correct

There is no danger of another Burn

Science is clear in that regard

T have marveled these five months on Kamin ar

Past generations of our species lived in fear

and hatred.

We live now,to ether,in mm un in

And while at times we may struggle

T believe there is much we can share with other worlds

Our -our duty is to our home,is it not?

lf you define Kamin ar,alone.as “home,

it is,of course.

But consider this

Here,live

grow food in the light of our sun.

Uh how r.

it is not...our sun

We share it with six other planets in our solar system

A system which is one of many in..

a shared galaxy

Beyond our galaxy.

space.

ln truth,we are on an island together

We must ask ourselves

do we honor our interconnection

or do we curl inward

like a leaf pulled from its tree

After the Burn,that is what many chose

But this is a new era.

Is it not?

If you tell me you made a dress uniform for Grudge Il sty

Almost,ll right? Almost stay

ous h't miss your nephew's l khu Zhen ceremony

A boy only becomes a man once

But this is a big deal,right?

Starfleet Academy reopening after 125 years

You introducing the president

Which you're not excited about

Why would you think that?

You got your growl y face on.

I don't have a growl y face

Yes you d

You get that 11 between your eyebrows.

President Rilla k is using this moment

which should be about the cadets

and the people that fought to bring the Academy back to life

She's doing what politicians do

Don't punch her in the head

I will do my best.

I'm sorry Sar u'snot here to see it

Yeah,me,too.

lt's okay. Hell come back when he's ready

And Twill join you on K we jian soon

You know you got lucky today

Luck is being ready

Oh,come on We were n'tready

Are you seriously complimenting yourself

for nearly getting us killed?

t worked didn't it?

Kind of.

See you soon

Okay.

Be safe

Captain.

Last year at this time,

Federation Headquarters was cloaked

The Federation itself had 38 member worlds

Now,w have59.

And the cloaking shield is nearly gone

Theres no more need to hide

Today were open Starfleet Academy

for the first time since the Burn

And in this moment, I feel like anything is possible

You are tomorrow'sensigns,

lieutenants,commanders

and captains.

And in this new world

all of you will go where no one has gone before

And you will make the path by traveling it

And from what l see

from what l see

l am honored to be in your company

And now,please allow me to introduce our special guest

the new president of the Federation, Lair a Rilla k

Thank you Captain Burnham

Let me begin by acknowledging

that today would not be possible

without the USS Discovery

and...your crew.

Thanks to your efforts,

we now have a vast supply of dilithium

we can distribute to distant worlds

and we have reestablished peaceful relations with planets

that --well,they were antagonizing our members

only five months ago.

lt'sa lot to live up to

No pressure

We are learning from the mistakes of the past

developing new technologies

to reduce our collective dependence on dilithium

and continuing to rebuild the Federation and Starfleet

Not that any of you need the reminder,but

one of Starfleet's original missions was scientific exploration.

And now that we are able

we are embracing that mission once again

Cadets,if l may turn your attention

to the newly -constructed Archer Space Dock

Here,fleet will be upgraded,

and the next generation of Starfleet vessels constructed

Vessels that will once again take us to new worlds

new civilizations,

places you can't even begin to imagine right now

Heard you guys had some fun with the Als hains

Yeah. Might have to cover your shifts more often

Ah. Don't get too cozy

I'm only consulting on the Curry for another two days

lt is a privilege to be here

l wish I could properly thank you al

for everything you left behind.

We appreciate that

Well,it was our duty Madam President

Butstill,930years is a long way from home

From this perspective,can't really get a sense of the scale

But later on..

Those cadets --that feels like

one thousand years ago

And yesterday

Which it wa s,imultaneously

Did you know there are people out there

that don't have to put up with space-timeshenanigans?

I bet they sleep great

Mm. Good for them

“ Lieutenant "used to feel so far away

ls this about O syra a?

Cause you deserve that promotion, Tilly

You all do.

Oh,now

think,.

Captain,the admiral needs you It's ugent

This is Commander Na las from Deep - Space

Repair Beta Six,sending a request for help

from any Starfleet vessel that might hear us

I'm not sure what happened,

but we just lost reactor -control thrusters.

Gravitational stability is also compromised,and..

That's all we got.

How long ago did this happen?

Two hours.

Whatever affected the station also knocked out

the subspace relays in the sector

Solar flare?

Electromagnetic pulse could have taken all systems offline

Haven't gotten any reports of an EMP

but we'll check it out. K we jian is the nearest system.

Ill check and see if they know anything

Can K we jian help?

We can't allow them to wait

for a rescue vessel to reach them at warp

Discovery will go right away

Your mission is to repair the station systems

and to report back as soon as you figure out what happened

Yes,ir

I'd like to join

See that spore drive of yours in action.

Madam President,safety protocols

We can't put you at risk,ma'am

Well,thank you for your concern, but l can't ask anyone

for a sacrifice I'm not willing to make myself.

Ma am,having you aboard Discovery heightens the danger

To my crew

l appreciate your passion, Captain

Ill see you on board

I know that look well enough

Admiral,she's trying to prove herself

She wants to says he's seen action

l think she's tickingoff a box

Captain,his is a delicate time

We're all still learning what we need as we grow the Federation.

'm pretty sure we don't need politics as usual

Well my not like to hear it

but an adept politician can be a very powerful tool

when the world feels upside down

And the president doesn't need your per miss i or

to board Discovery

Now,if you'll excuse me'm... I'mlate for dinner.

Sir?

I'm so glad you were able to bring your family home

See you when you get back

And q ive Mr. Booker my best

President Rilla k will be joining us.

Standard protocols apply

Commander Detmer,take us to safe range for the jump

Black alert

Aye C

Madam President my want to brace yourself

The first one can be disorienting

Ill be fine

FI ew cargo ships for my father back in the day

Okay.

Jump.

Owo sek undo we have

-the station?- I'm locked don to it,but some thing'swrong

On screen

Whatthehell?

What could have done that?

Definitely not a solar flare.

Whatever it was

the station can't take that kind of stress much longer

Neither can its crew

Yellow Alert. Let'sget into it.

Ky he em.

So much more beautiful than T remember

Can you feel it?

O heah

Hell o,ldfriend

When was the last time you saw it?

Not since l became a member of the pack myself.

You do the honors

The World Root.

Put your hand on it

The warmth you fee

is a chain of a million hands

We do this to remember

We do this because the universe is unknowable,

but we can know this

You're now part of a chain that goes back.

unbroken

This root system that reaches all the way

around K we jian

it is our heart

And its sap is in that amulet your father wears.

Today you'll get your own.

It's something you never take off.

Why aren't you wearing yours, Uncle Book?

It's a story for another day eto

Okay.

The sap of the root...

..and the blood of your family

Wear this..

carry us

and Kwe jian with you..

always.

T'mproud of you eto

Thanks

You'revery welcome

Go show your friends,o

Okay.

I'm happy you're here

Thank you for asking me to be a part of it

Scans show the station moving at 720 kilometers per second

with a radial velocity of 22 degrees per second

Shields are down with a slight magnetization of the hull

Something must've hit them

Still no response yet, Captain

Keep hailing the station

Let me know when you have them

Commander Owo sek un,pull up the distress call

Aye, Cin

This is Commander Na las from Deep - Space Repair Beta Six.

Stop ·

Beside him he window -magnify that

Oh...it's extreme lensing

Two-pisteradian solid angle

n Federation Standard,please

Gravitational distortion. Hit the side of the station

must've taken out the relay wl. Commander Rhys?

I don't see anything that could've created

a distortion that large

Keep looking and follow up

with K we jian,ee if they have anything yet

Aye C

Captain,hav Commander Nal as

Commander Nala s, I'm Captain Burnham of the U. S. S. Discovery

President Rilla k is here with us as well.

Ma'am. It's an honor.

Captain,thank you for coming

What's your status?

We were hit by something. I don't know what.

We've got all ten of us in the main control room

Life support seems to be gone everywhere else

lner tial dampeners are fluctuating

artificial gravity is a mess

and our sensors are unreliable

One of my engineers called it a“shit-show

Which is Earth for “bad.

I'm told.

lt is,indeed. How can we help?

Well, I can fix thrusters,that ll stop the spin

But our Q -nodes are squid dled

and they need to be replaced

If you can send engineers

with programmable matter,we can get on it

Will do,tand by

“ Squid dled?"

Akos zona m expression

lt means “destroyed beyond repair."

Tilly what do you know about replacing Q -nodes?

can do it,but if you want it fast

A dir a grew up using this tech

Have them come up,and l want you with them.

Owo sek un,can you get a lock on the station's

control room for transport?

I can get coordinates within an acceptable margi r

of error if Key la can match speed and rotation

What do you mean,"if "?

On your mark.

Aye Ci

We'reat20..

First away mission

Are you nervous

Um...no.

Fine,may be.

l just,mean,she made me an ensign

So she has faith in me

just want to show her she made the right choice

You're gonna be great.

And when l incorporate -

How about "get a body "

Get a body

And l start kicking ass doing my own stuff

I'd expect you to say the same thing to me

Yeah,you won't need it

You're,like the most on ident person -know

Besides the captain,may be

We are now in asynchronous orbit, Captain

Owo should be good to go.

Ensign Tal,re you ready?

Yes. Absolutely

Yeah,um...uh,locked and loaded.

You know,signed,sealed liv

Ready to...

stop talking now.

Good luck

Both of you

Welcome to our gravity nightmare

Q-nodes are in there

Uh, Ihave the programmable matter

Oh,hey whoa! Please do not touch that!

Sir,w re here at your request

Right,but it's my station,my responsibility

Okay but,u polyhedron ic

quantum -data memory devices are kind of -ln sanely tricky

And yes,know what happens when they're not properly

linked to the multi-phasic processing unit.

T'm sorry,n'tm eant obe rude

I'm just trying to protect my crew.

Okay ets let Commander Nal as

take the lead here since were his guests

Thanks,we got to get thrusters working first

T'm working on the primary processing unit

You two take the secondary unit

And -and thank you

Commander Nal as,think we got it

l niti ating full thrusters

in three,two,

Captain,can you confirm that all the thrusters

are currently working

I can.

Radial velocity's decreased by 38 % and counting

Nice job. How are life support and sensors coming?

Just getting started now.

How much longer do you need?

45 minutes,may be?

You got it.

Captain,we ve got incoming

Debris of some kind.

Commander Owo sek un,analysis

It's frozen methane

Shields up. Red alert

Can we extend shields over the station

I think so,but it will drain a lot of power

Do it. Well figure it out

Uh, Captain,what's happening

The edge of a n Oort Cloud --methane ice

It must've been carried in by the gravitational distortion

Hang tight. How big is it?

Still trying to calculate

RHYS : Small stuff was just the front

The rest is about to hit --hold on.

How long will shields hold?

15 minutes,if were lucky

Lieutenant Tilly owa rescue mission

Prepare to be am back with Ad ira and the crew

lt's not gonna work from here. There's too much interference

Owo sek un?

I can't,either,he transport array isn't responding

Commander Stamets!

Uh...the impacts caused a power surge

that,uh,blew out the Heisenberg compensator

How long to fix it?

Three hours,minimum

We don't have that kind of time

What happened anyway?ls -is A dir a okay?

And Tilly and everyone

Everyone'sfine for now. Skip the compensator

Pull whatever power you can to the shields.

We need time to evacuate them

On it.

Tilly can yuet eve

to the station'sshuttle bay

That's on Deck One and -and..

we don't have EV suits up here

What about an escape vessel? Every deck should have one

They're only meant for one -way trips

I can just reprogram it to return

So just trust me with this

Please. I got it.

Make it fast, Ensign

It's this way

The -the door is jam meo

from the outside. We can't separate the vessel from the station

Okay,then we need to climb to another deck

There's no life support

Sensors are malfunctioning

Commander Na las, Tund rst and that that

seems like an option right now -

It is an option

It's the only option

Uh, Captain,we..

we have a problem.

Uh,two,actually --the de -coupler is jammed

and -an d Na las is kind of losing it

Tilly can handle him

We'll get you all out. Bring the escape vessel on screen.

Shielddownto30%

Commander Nilsson,how long will it take

our DOTs to remove that debris?

Longer than we have

Can we get close enough for a spacewalk?

No,but l-lcould take a worker bee

That's way too dangerous. If we lose shields..

Detmer's right,that's our best shot,but Til do it

Rhys he the conn

Are you sure you should be leaving the ship

during a red alert?

There's no margin for error

I've logged more advanced EVA hours than anyone else on board.

That makes me the safest and the most logical choice.

Does it?

Madam President,are you questioning my decision

A question doesn't imply questioning, Ca pain

Whatever happen s,eepthose shields up

Aye Cain

You'rethinking of Discovery again,of your friends

Michael.

lam.

And it does not mean that lam unhappy here.

It is hard to be away

As it was hard to leave Kamin ar

all those years ago

One can not have

all the lives one desires

A choice

is always necessary

The n,prhaps

Kamin ar was very different in your time

Now..

you can serve the Feder ati or

and remain close to the council

To me

I made a promise to you.

And it is my joy to keep that promise

l appreciate all you have done

You're the father I never knew

And my first

true friend

But T have other friends now

Family

If you.

are staying for me

you need not

What of those who still turn away from you?

Who see you and think only of the Burn

There will always be those

who fear what they do not understand

But they are fewer now

Thanks to you

I'm safe

I'm loved

I'm happy

My heart is here,but yours can be here

and...out there.

Balance..

is possible.

lsit not?

How long is this going to take?

We just can't keep waiting

Okay sh

Rhys,u have eyes on that?

We do, Captain

It's clear of the vessel's launch trajectory

Great.

Two pieces left,grabbing them now

Captain do you read?

I'm okay, I'moay

Patch me through to engineering

Stamets,how we doing on shields?

holdingat25%

Yes, Ilove25%

Yeah,well...don't celebrate just yet

I've pulled all the power l can from the EPS grid.

And,uh,were maxed out

No more help is coming

You saw what happened.

Your captain can't save us. Now move!

Commander Na las,no!

can't allow you take your crew on a suicide mission

Okay plea

Adi ra, Adira,stay on task

It's my crew.

And you're leading them to a very dark place

Put down the phaser

Va las. Tt's President Rilla k

T know this is a lot,

all of it,but l am asking you to give

Captain Burnham a few more minutes

l am confident she'll get you out

All of us want you to see

your beautiful world again,i -its

freshwater oceans,the Fissure of Jor at.

How do you...?

Most Akos zona m don't even know the Fissure

Oh,shame

lt'sbreathtaking,isn't it? The way the steam explodes

straight out,condensing into that iridescent mist

There's nothing else like it in the cosmos

I know you want to go home, Nal as

All of you do

Please

Yes

Almost there

Got it! You're clear, Tilly

Go! We all won't fit in one trip

Ill wait with them

Lieutenant Christopher,open a channel to the president

Channel'sopen, Caa in

Captain Burnham

Thankyou for the assist

Always happy to be of service

Out of curiosity read in his file earlier?

Or have you really been to the Fissure of Jor at?

It's not curiosity Cain

You're wondering if l lied to him

Did you?

Does it matter?

Station crew is safely on board

The escape vessel

is leaving Discovery for its second run. Should be back in five minutes.

How much time do we have left?

After that last hit,four minutes if we're lucky

When the shields are down

we'll be exposed.

We could be destroyed

Captain.

We're not going anywhere

That was an inspiring speech you gave

at the Academy but evrything is not possible

You can not defeat the mathematics of loss

We have before

so therefore you're immune to failure?

Are you pulling me from the chair?

Madam President?

Because if not, I have a job to do

You're the captain

Have you found what spooked the birds?

've searched the entire forest

Nothing out of the ordinary

Maybe they sensed an earthquake

Too small for us to feel?

I don't know, Ky he em

Well,y'veee up there for awhile

Come on back.lt'stime for dinner

These birds

Take Leto and get some place safe

What is it?

Just do it! Now!

I need to find out what's happening

Warning. Proximity alert. Warning

Proximity alert

Ky he em!

The nanosecond this is over,'mo the first ship home

When's the last time you were back?

Too long

Living on autopilot,ou know

What about you two? What's next?

Oh now Sleep. Tea

Bubble bath

Lieutenant?

I don't know.to be honest

Shuttle has arrived

Let's go

We've lost shields

ls the escape vessel okay?

Aye Cin

How much longer?

We'l Thave the vessel in five. Four

Black alert

Structure breach on Deck Eight

Rerouting DOTs for repair

They're clear. They're clear!

Jump!

All medical and emergency personne

All medical and emergency personnel to shuttle bay

A dir a? Tilly?

We're here! We're here

We're safe. We're good

Let me do a scan for injuries

Nal as?

Commander Nal as?

I don't understand. We..

made it. We were.. We were safe.

Hugh! Hugh!

Help me!

Hold on! Hold on

I can't..

We almost got you

Over here! Over here

Cul ber,what's happening

ls everyone okay?

Come.

Three dead. Four wounded

And nine who get to go home

Never gets easier

Kobayashi Maru

You're Starfleet?

No.

Just flew cargo for my dad all over the sector

Taught me the value in meeting people

or circumstances where they are

The test is rigged,ou now

Kobayashi Maru

They don't tell you that upfront

So when you fail,

you go back to your quarters,and all you can think about

is how you want to retake it.

How you can be the one to beat it

Then you realize you never will

Yeah,hence the lesson

Acceptance. There are things beyond your control

As captain,ou mitigate that as much as possible

I can't mitigate life and death

I lead to bring everyone home.

Leadership is about balance

Knowing what weight is yours to carry and..

what isn't

You just don't see that yet

You didn't come on my ship to tick a box

did you?

Well as you know we are developing

some new technologies

A next -generation spore drive is among them

There are still quite a few hurdles to overcome

but other technologies

like the pathway drive prototype

have been moving forward nicely

Plans are to install it in Voyager for testing

and lam evaluating my short list for the captaincy

l suppose I'm no longer on it.

No.

You're not ready

Define “ready.

Don't misunderstand me Captain

You are eminently qualified

Untested technology's a different beast,-get that

But please,

define “ready.

The willingness to accept

all potential outcomes of a command decision

and an ability to make the hard call regardless

It's a matter of experience,really

Respectfully mam Do vm home

sol wouldn't have accepted even if you'd offered

That said,

I don't think I'm out of line

in pointing out that my experiences

have prepared me for any kind of captaincy

Yeah well,ou

You led your crew to the future

You deciphered the Burn

Yes. I did

Your acts of bravery are irrefutable

They are also huge swings of the pendulum

And in a time of rebuilding,here is a very fine line

between a pendulum

and a wrecking ball

That is quite a strong opinion

for someone who'sjust met me

l read the debrief of your arrival

at Federation Headquarters

Would you like to know what it says?

I take it that's a rhetorical question

lt says a tremendous loss in your formative years

has left you with an almost pathological need

to save everyone you can.

I fail to see the negative in that

Commanding from a place of personal need

places others in harm'sway

Today weep ed to sacrifice the many

to save the few. Everyone could have died

But they didn't

One day th might

That is precisely the kind of Pyrrhic victory

Kobayashi Maru trains you to avoid

Captain

Mr. Booker's here. His ship arrived via autopilot.

Some thing'swrong

Pull up K we jian on the deep -space array

What happened?

My ship was hit by something

The stars. Everything was warped

The gravitational distortion.

But K we jian is light -years away from that station

Captain?

l inputted K we jian's coordinates,t.

What?

Nothing'sthere.

You must've done it wrong

No.

These are the coordinates

Widen the search radius

I see something

but it's hundreds of thousands of kilometers away ·

Pull it up

They're gone

They're all gone
