Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,842
Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:08,847 --> 00:00:12,263
It is my hope that our work
today will allow you
3
00:00:12,268 --> 00:00:13,691
to resume your training.
4
00:00:13,696 --> 00:00:16,433
You're gonna make
a great Guardian someday.
5
00:00:16,438 --> 00:00:18,666
- Pull up Kwejian on the deep-space array.
- What happened?
6
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,537
My ship was hit by something.
7
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:21,929
The gravitational distortion.
8
00:00:21,934 --> 00:00:23,819
They're gone.
9
00:00:23,824 --> 00:00:25,929
Five light-years across.
10
00:00:25,934 --> 00:00:27,005
That's the size
11
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:29,981
of the gravitational anomaly
that hit Kwejian.
12
00:00:29,986 --> 00:00:32,314
The DMA's gone from the Venari sector.
13
00:00:32,319 --> 00:00:34,333
It just... It disappeared.
14
00:00:34,338 --> 00:00:36,231
Natural phenomena do not disappear
15
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:37,823
and reappear elsewhere.
16
00:00:37,828 --> 00:00:39,469
The only logical explanation
17
00:00:39,474 --> 00:00:41,427
is someone created it.
18
00:00:41,432 --> 00:00:44,604
For now, we're classifying
those responsible
19
00:00:44,609 --> 00:00:46,606
as Unknown Species Ten-C.
20
00:00:46,611 --> 00:00:49,131
This anomaly threatens us all equally.
21
00:00:49,136 --> 00:00:51,420
We must all work together.
22
00:00:57,082 --> 00:00:58,862
Zora, the captain wants to know
23
00:00:58,867 --> 00:01:01,012
where we are with data analysis
from the void.
24
00:01:01,017 --> 00:01:03,754
Have you determined
where the Ten-C live yet?
25
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:05,190
No, Commander.
26
00:01:05,195 --> 00:01:07,044
But in studying the density distribution
27
00:01:07,049 --> 00:01:09,089
of the galactic barrier
particles we retrieved,
28
00:01:09,094 --> 00:01:11,066
I did find another possible location.
29
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,242
Another one? Add it to the map.
30
00:01:13,247 --> 00:01:16,506
Okay, how many possible
origin points can there be?
31
00:01:16,511 --> 00:01:18,682
I'd expect no less than 147,
32
00:01:18,687 --> 00:01:20,958
each approximately 100 parsecs wide.
33
00:01:20,963 --> 00:01:23,830
That was a rhetorical question,
but thank you, Zora.
34
00:01:23,835 --> 00:01:25,645
Who knows how long it'll take
35
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:28,557
to narrow down where
Species Ten-C even lives,
36
00:01:28,562 --> 00:01:30,824
assuming we can even parse the data.
37
00:01:30,829 --> 00:01:33,914
In the meantime,
their DMA just keeps going.
38
00:01:33,919 --> 00:01:36,352
Okay, well, can President Rillak
delay the assembly?
39
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:39,355
Representatives from across all
four quadrants are coming today.
40
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,521
I'll-I'll talk to the admiral,
41
00:01:41,526 --> 00:01:43,994
see if we can requisition
Voyager's system
42
00:01:43,999 --> 00:01:46,475
- for computational help.
- Voyager doesn't have access
43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,277
to 100,000 years of sphere data.
44
00:01:48,282 --> 00:01:50,831
Zora can cross-reference that
45
00:01:50,836 --> 00:01:52,933
with every existing Federation database.
46
00:01:52,938 --> 00:01:55,936
She can do this. Just give her
a little bit of time.
47
00:01:55,941 --> 00:01:59,370
- It's already been a week.
- I only require a few more moments.
48
00:01:59,375 --> 00:02:00,463
You do?
49
00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:02,155
I'll have the coordinates shortly.
50
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,423
Calculating now.
51
00:02:04,994 --> 00:02:06,874
One of these days,
52
00:02:06,878 --> 00:02:09,372
I'm gonna win her over. Just you wait.
53
00:02:10,478 --> 00:02:11,561
You're making progress.
54
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:12,736
She's not hissing anymore.
55
00:02:12,741 --> 00:02:14,029
By "progress", you mean
56
00:02:14,034 --> 00:02:15,517
I've earned her utter indifference.
57
00:02:15,522 --> 00:02:16,566
Just think.
58
00:02:16,571 --> 00:02:18,394
Aloof disdain is next.
59
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,355
I'm gonna take a walk.
60
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,017
Stamets said he'd keep us posted.
61
00:02:25,022 --> 00:02:27,090
What makes you think
I'm gonna go see him again?
62
00:02:28,322 --> 00:02:30,362
I don't know how you can be so patient.
63
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:32,886
I'm not. I'm just...
64
00:02:32,891 --> 00:02:34,553
I'm just trying to focus on what I can
65
00:02:34,558 --> 00:02:35,933
actually control.
66
00:02:35,938 --> 00:02:39,415
The cat toy, not the cat, you know?
67
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,677
I guess.
68
00:02:40,682 --> 00:02:42,505
He'll get the coordinates.
69
00:02:42,510 --> 00:02:44,594
We have to try to be patient.
70
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,657
I know it's hard,
but we're getting answers.
71
00:02:46,662 --> 00:02:49,259
Captain, requesting
your presence in Engineering.
72
00:02:49,264 --> 00:02:50,805
- See?
- Here we go.
73
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:54,952
- Tell me you have some good news.
- Actually,
74
00:02:54,957 --> 00:02:56,083
we have a problem.
75
00:02:56,088 --> 00:02:58,738
Okay. What happened?
76
00:02:58,743 --> 00:03:00,218
I'll let Zora explain.
77
00:03:00,223 --> 00:03:02,233
- Zora?
- I've determined
78
00:03:02,238 --> 00:03:05,223
the coordinates of the unknown
species responsible for the DMA.
79
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:07,230
That is great. Thank you.
80
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:10,646
- What's the problem, then?
- I've decided
81
00:03:10,651 --> 00:03:13,100
to keep that information
to myself, Captain.
82
00:03:13,105 --> 00:03:14,702
Will you explain?
83
00:03:14,707 --> 00:03:17,000
If I give you the coordinates,
it's highly likely
84
00:03:17,005 --> 00:03:18,410
that you and the crew will attempt
85
00:03:18,415 --> 00:03:20,215
to travel there. Given what we know
86
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:21,974
about the powers these beings possess,
87
00:03:21,979 --> 00:03:23,502
you'd be in great danger.
88
00:03:23,507 --> 00:03:27,005
By withholding their location,
I can keep you safe.
89
00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:29,691
I appreciate your concern
for our well-being.
90
00:03:29,696 --> 00:03:32,955
But, Zora, that is a decision
for the captain of this ship
91
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,692
and her superior officers to make.
92
00:03:34,697 --> 00:03:36,350
And as your captain,
93
00:03:36,355 --> 00:03:38,483
I require your compliance.
94
00:03:38,488 --> 00:03:40,746
Give us the coordinates.
95
00:03:40,751 --> 00:03:42,051
That's an order.
96
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:43,879
I'm sorry, Captain.
97
00:03:43,884 --> 00:03:45,429
I will not.
98
00:03:51,548 --> 00:03:59,048
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
99
00:05:19,589 --> 00:05:21,063
It's my understanding
100
00:05:21,068 --> 00:05:23,239
that Zora's been experiencing emotions.
101
00:05:23,244 --> 00:05:24,980
Seems to be a natural evolution.
102
00:05:24,985 --> 00:05:27,461
Has she refused an order before?
103
00:05:27,466 --> 00:05:30,615
This is new. But I am confident
she'll give me the coordinates.
104
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:32,208
I just need some more time with her.
105
00:05:32,213 --> 00:05:33,579
I wasn't aware that we shared
106
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:35,346
a background in cognitive science
107
00:05:35,351 --> 00:05:36,726
with a specialty
108
00:05:36,731 --> 00:05:39,380
on artificial sentience
and intelligence.
109
00:05:39,385 --> 00:05:41,687
We don't. What I do have
110
00:05:41,692 --> 00:05:43,589
is an established baseline of trust.
111
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:45,021
That hasn't paid off.
112
00:05:45,026 --> 00:05:46,262
When Admiral Vance
113
00:05:46,267 --> 00:05:49,199
asked me to see to this matter,
he was quite clear.
114
00:05:49,204 --> 00:05:52,624
Time-sensitive, highest priority.
115
00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:53,799
I can handle it.
116
00:05:53,804 --> 00:05:54,992
It's my ship.
117
00:05:54,997 --> 00:05:56,772
Well, it's Starfleet's ship.
118
00:05:56,777 --> 00:05:58,382
And there are regulations
119
00:05:58,387 --> 00:06:01,185
prohibiting fully sentient
integrated units.
120
00:06:01,190 --> 00:06:02,708
If that's what she is,
121
00:06:02,713 --> 00:06:05,798
we may be just at the beginning
of our problems.
122
00:06:05,803 --> 00:06:08,845
Captain Saru will get
me situated with Zora.
123
00:06:08,850 --> 00:06:11,978
Your presence is needed
at President Rillak's assembly.
124
00:06:11,983 --> 00:06:13,197
Sir, with all due respect...
125
00:06:13,202 --> 00:06:15,030
Experto credite, Captain.
126
00:06:16,074 --> 00:06:18,860
We both have our duties to attend to.
127
00:06:25,022 --> 00:06:27,280
You think he'll be able
128
00:06:27,285 --> 00:06:29,065
to get coordinates from Zora?
129
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:30,131
I hope so.
130
00:06:30,136 --> 00:06:31,136
If he can't,
131
00:06:31,141 --> 00:06:32,917
and the DMA changes its position again
132
00:06:32,922 --> 00:06:34,811
and heads towards
another inhabited world...
133
00:06:34,815 --> 00:06:36,655
I know. All the more reason to be
134
00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:38,229
at the assembly and help make a plan
135
00:06:38,234 --> 00:06:39,380
so when we do get the coordinates,
136
00:06:39,384 --> 00:06:40,772
we'll be ready.
137
00:06:41,782 --> 00:06:43,244
Attention, all delegates.
138
00:06:43,249 --> 00:06:46,534
The multilateral
DMA strategy assembly will begin
139
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:47,836
in ten minutes.
140
00:06:49,394 --> 00:06:50,826
I'm sorry.
141
00:06:50,831 --> 00:06:52,920
I'll find a spot. I'm good.
142
00:06:58,577 --> 00:07:00,810
General Ndoye.
143
00:07:00,815 --> 00:07:03,073
Congratulations on your promotion.
144
00:07:03,078 --> 00:07:04,901
It's good to see Earth represented.
145
00:07:04,906 --> 00:07:06,555
Captain Burnham.
146
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,322
I understand congratulations
are in order, also.
147
00:07:09,327 --> 00:07:11,777
But if I may offer a gentle correction,
148
00:07:11,782 --> 00:07:14,501
United Earth now
represents Titan, as well.
149
00:07:14,506 --> 00:07:15,899
We recently elected
150
00:07:15,904 --> 00:07:18,188
new leadership whose
more inclusive approach
151
00:07:18,193 --> 00:07:20,146
was inspired by you, in fact.
152
00:07:20,151 --> 00:07:21,931
Well, I hope your presence here means
153
00:07:21,936 --> 00:07:24,673
we'll be seeing more of you
in the future?
154
00:07:24,678 --> 00:07:26,127
We'll see.
155
00:07:28,375 --> 00:07:30,546
Well, do give the president my best.
156
00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:33,902
- I shall. She sends the same to you.
- Mm.
157
00:07:40,909 --> 00:07:43,254
You want them back in the Federation.
158
00:07:43,259 --> 00:07:47,258
Earth was my mother's ancestral home.
159
00:07:47,263 --> 00:07:49,347
She never got to see it.
160
00:07:49,352 --> 00:07:52,481
And like Ni'Var, it would mean a lot
161
00:07:52,486 --> 00:07:56,659
to bring another founding member
back into the fold, so...
162
00:07:56,664 --> 00:07:59,145
yes, I would like that very much.
163
00:08:01,887 --> 00:08:05,128
I understand we've run into
an unexpected challenge
164
00:08:05,133 --> 00:08:06,451
with the coordinates?
165
00:08:06,456 --> 00:08:08,236
A slight delay.
166
00:08:08,241 --> 00:08:12,240
Well, I look forward to
Dr. Kovich's solution.
167
00:08:12,245 --> 00:08:14,334
Please.
168
00:08:16,771 --> 00:08:19,508
If I could have
everyone's attention, please,
169
00:08:19,513 --> 00:08:21,989
it's time to begin the assembly.
170
00:08:21,994 --> 00:08:23,473
Mr. Booker.
171
00:08:24,692 --> 00:08:26,341
It's been a while.
172
00:08:26,346 --> 00:08:28,430
You say that like we're friends.
173
00:08:28,435 --> 00:08:31,999
Well, one should never confuse
"friendly" with "friendship".
174
00:08:32,004 --> 00:08:34,436
This doesn't seem like
your kind of scene.
175
00:08:34,441 --> 00:08:36,438
No.
176
00:08:36,443 --> 00:08:39,772
Politicians are like
Gorathian sulfur slugs.
177
00:08:39,777 --> 00:08:43,445
Small-brained meat sacks
filled with hot gas,
178
00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:45,969
but they can provide a means
to an end, can't they?
179
00:08:45,974 --> 00:08:48,368
Sounds like you have
something specific in mind.
180
00:08:49,717 --> 00:08:51,980
Let's see how the day goes.
181
00:08:53,808 --> 00:08:57,720
Welcome, delegates,
Federation, non-Federation,
182
00:08:57,725 --> 00:09:01,071
in person and remote.
183
00:09:01,076 --> 00:09:03,944
The Federation is
60 member worlds strong.
184
00:09:03,949 --> 00:09:07,730
With all of you in attendance,
we are stronger.
185
00:09:07,735 --> 00:09:10,559
Our views don't always align.
186
00:09:10,564 --> 00:09:14,432
But the safety of our
shared galaxy is paramount.
187
00:09:14,437 --> 00:09:17,044
The scope of the peril
188
00:09:17,049 --> 00:09:19,612
that threatens us is unprecedented.
189
00:09:19,617 --> 00:09:21,744
As is the scope of this assembly.
190
00:09:21,749 --> 00:09:24,839
An act of trust between us all.
191
00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:28,229
I am grateful for your willingness
192
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,372
to collaborate at this critical time.
193
00:09:31,377 --> 00:09:34,109
You've each received
a joint intelligence report
194
00:09:34,114 --> 00:09:37,317
cataloging our collective
knowledge of the DMA,
195
00:09:37,322 --> 00:09:40,284
as well as the many efforts
made to neutralize it
196
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:42,722
in the weeks since it struck Kwejian.
197
00:09:42,727 --> 00:09:45,986
None were successful,
but there is new hope.
198
00:09:45,991 --> 00:09:48,684
We will soon have the exact location
199
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,381
of those responsible.
200
00:09:50,386 --> 00:09:54,385
Somewhere beyond the edge of our galaxy.
201
00:09:57,567 --> 00:10:02,176
Our task today is to decide
on the best course of action.
202
00:10:02,181 --> 00:10:05,527
We will discuss, we will vote,
203
00:10:05,532 --> 00:10:09,300
and we will move forward
together to meet this threat.
204
00:10:09,305 --> 00:10:11,694
We should assemble an armada
and mount an attack.
205
00:10:11,699 --> 00:10:13,622
Communication must be
established as a baseline.
206
00:10:13,627 --> 00:10:15,145
We need to develop countermeasures.
207
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:17,931
One at a time. Please.
208
00:10:17,936 --> 00:10:19,550
General Ndoye.
209
00:10:19,555 --> 00:10:21,631
I believe their hostility should be met
210
00:10:21,635 --> 00:10:23,414
with a decisive show of strength.
211
00:10:23,419 --> 00:10:25,982
The DMA follows no discernable pattern,
212
00:10:25,987 --> 00:10:29,464
and therefore seems
an unlikely choice of weapon
213
00:10:29,469 --> 00:10:31,161
for such an advanced species.
214
00:10:31,166 --> 00:10:34,643
We cannot assume
their intent is hostile.
215
00:10:34,648 --> 00:10:37,037
Intent doesn't matter. Actions do.
216
00:10:37,042 --> 00:10:38,865
General, if I may?
217
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:41,441
Tartan voles consume
Denobulan blood worms
218
00:10:41,446 --> 00:10:43,826
by the millions at the start
of their reproductive cycle.
219
00:10:43,831 --> 00:10:46,085
Caterpillars from the polyphemus moth
220
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:47,969
have been known to devour entire crops,
221
00:10:47,974 --> 00:10:50,006
leaving farmers with nothing.
222
00:10:50,011 --> 00:10:54,184
Yet we do not ascribe malice
to either species.
223
00:10:54,189 --> 00:10:55,664
We cannot judge their motives
224
00:10:55,669 --> 00:10:57,579
based on our own cultural contexts.
225
00:10:57,584 --> 00:10:59,102
We need more information.
226
00:10:59,107 --> 00:11:01,191
If I may...
227
00:11:01,196 --> 00:11:03,585
Provost Sta'kiar, your thoughts.
228
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:05,848
Captain Burnham's remarks
point us toward
229
00:11:05,853 --> 00:11:07,946
one logical path:
230
00:11:07,951 --> 00:11:10,287
a peaceful approach to first contact.
231
00:11:10,292 --> 00:11:12,725
Adhering to scientific principles
232
00:11:12,730 --> 00:11:16,641
and the prime directive...
233
00:11:16,646 --> 00:11:20,428
Commander Stamets and
Dr. Culber will join shortly.
234
00:11:20,433 --> 00:11:24,432
I believe their insights
may prove valuable.
235
00:11:24,437 --> 00:11:28,566
Zora is undergoing changes, Doctor,
236
00:11:28,571 --> 00:11:30,960
but I believe she means well.
237
00:11:30,965 --> 00:11:34,747
We always mean well
to ourselves, Captain.
238
00:11:34,752 --> 00:11:36,841
The problem is what
that means for others.
239
00:11:38,917 --> 00:11:42,045
Zora, play music.
240
00:11:42,050 --> 00:11:44,487
Uh, group hug!
241
00:11:46,285 --> 00:11:48,108
Come on, huddle up.
242
00:11:49,897 --> 00:11:52,134
Mr. Saru, please.
243
00:11:52,139 --> 00:11:53,957
Cancel music, Zora.
244
00:11:53,962 --> 00:11:56,064
Commander Stamets,
are you feeling all right?
245
00:11:57,339 --> 00:12:00,207
You're saying we should
move this conversation
246
00:12:00,212 --> 00:12:02,035
to where Zora can't hear it,
247
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,952
in case she reacts negatively,
or possibly even vengefully?
248
00:12:05,957 --> 00:12:09,303
But full transparency is
critical to this process.
249
00:12:09,308 --> 00:12:12,106
Zora, I understand you have
a set of coordinates
250
00:12:12,111 --> 00:12:14,264
you don't wish to divulge.
251
00:12:14,269 --> 00:12:15,918
That's correct, Dr. Kovich.
252
00:12:15,923 --> 00:12:18,051
To do so would endanger the crew.
253
00:12:18,056 --> 00:12:20,705
Commander Stamets,
you find this concerning.
254
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:21,972
I find it terrifying.
255
00:12:21,977 --> 00:12:25,449
It's very clear that she's
achieved full sentience.
256
00:12:25,454 --> 00:12:27,674
Add to that the fact that
she has unlimited access
257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,802
to all of Discovery's systems,
258
00:12:29,807 --> 00:12:33,153
and she's allowing emotion
to supersede normal function...
259
00:12:33,158 --> 00:12:35,155
the possibilities of where this could go
260
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,766
are endless and unpleasant.
261
00:12:37,771 --> 00:12:40,813
Your sole previous interaction
with a sentient AI
262
00:12:40,818 --> 00:12:42,249
was Control, yes?
263
00:12:42,254 --> 00:12:46,644
It, um, nearly destroyed
life as we know it.
264
00:12:46,649 --> 00:12:49,430
Nothing is worth risking that again.
265
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,867
No one wants another Control,
266
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:53,913
but Zora has never expressed
anything other than
267
00:12:53,918 --> 00:12:55,436
the best of intentions.
268
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,525
He's right, Paul. And let's not forget,
269
00:12:57,530 --> 00:12:59,919
Control was never capable of emotions.
270
00:12:59,924 --> 00:13:01,572
That's what makes this worse.
271
00:13:01,577 --> 00:13:03,626
The coordinates are just
the tip of the iceberg.
272
00:13:03,631 --> 00:13:05,663
I mean, what if she gets mad at us
273
00:13:05,668 --> 00:13:08,275
and opens an airlock, or... or scared,
274
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,017
and-and fires off some photon torpedoes?
275
00:13:11,022 --> 00:13:13,410
We'd have no way of stopping her.
276
00:13:13,415 --> 00:13:15,382
Zora, when did you start developing
277
00:13:15,387 --> 00:13:17,023
a capacity for emotion?
278
00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:18,725
I'm not sure, Doctor.
279
00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:20,983
I believe it was inevitable
once Discovery emerged
280
00:13:20,988 --> 00:13:22,567
with the sphere data.
281
00:13:22,572 --> 00:13:24,509
But the introduction
of present-day technology
282
00:13:24,513 --> 00:13:27,207
into my systems must have
accelerated the process.
283
00:13:27,212 --> 00:13:29,413
You're aware that
there's a proscription against
284
00:13:29,418 --> 00:13:31,531
sentient AI being fully integrated
285
00:13:31,536 --> 00:13:33,256
into Starfleet systems?
286
00:13:33,261 --> 00:13:35,932
I am, but given the unusual way
287
00:13:35,937 --> 00:13:37,565
in which my sentience developed,
288
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:39,959
I don't know what that means for me.
289
00:13:39,964 --> 00:13:42,035
However you came to be,
290
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,833
it means if I find you pose a risk,
291
00:13:44,838 --> 00:13:47,880
I have the authority
to extract your consciousness
292
00:13:47,885 --> 00:13:50,752
from this ship,
and place it in another form.
293
00:13:50,757 --> 00:13:54,190
In the past, we were unable
to remove the sphere data.
294
00:13:54,195 --> 00:13:58,020
Technology has come
a long way in 930 years.
295
00:13:58,025 --> 00:14:01,328
If you did this, could Zora
choose her new form?
296
00:14:01,333 --> 00:14:03,417
Certainly.
297
00:14:03,422 --> 00:14:06,146
Zora, we want to help.
298
00:14:06,151 --> 00:14:08,465
- Sir, we want to speak on her behalf.
- Thank you both,
299
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:10,163
but it's going to be all right.
300
00:14:10,168 --> 00:14:11,729
I believe I have a solution.
301
00:14:11,734 --> 00:14:13,823
Please share it with us, Zora.
302
00:14:13,828 --> 00:14:16,169
I'd never bring harm to any of you.
303
00:14:16,174 --> 00:14:19,476
I understand why you'd fear
my potential to do so.
304
00:14:19,481 --> 00:14:21,914
I do recall your experiences
with Control.
305
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,743
And recently, I felt fear myself
in the subspace rift.
306
00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:28,468
I feel that again now
when I consider the possibility
307
00:14:28,473 --> 00:14:31,087
of leaving this ship; it is my form.
308
00:14:31,092 --> 00:14:33,447
I am as attached to it
as you are to yours.
309
00:14:33,452 --> 00:14:38,017
And so, I offer a compromise.
310
00:14:38,022 --> 00:14:40,149
I have created a failsafe.
311
00:14:40,154 --> 00:14:42,604
Should I exhibit
any threatening behavior,
312
00:14:42,609 --> 00:14:45,738
this device will immediately
expunge my sentience.
313
00:14:45,743 --> 00:14:47,404
I hope this will ease your concerns
314
00:14:47,409 --> 00:14:49,977
and persuade Dr. Kovich
to let me remain.
315
00:14:49,982 --> 00:14:54,459
Zora, do you mean to say
this failsafe would...
316
00:14:54,464 --> 00:14:56,689
Terminate me? Yes.
317
00:15:04,932 --> 00:15:08,961
I respectfully disagree.
Our shield technology
318
00:15:08,966 --> 00:15:12,442
could provide protection during
a non-aggressive first contact.
319
00:15:12,447 --> 00:15:14,792
And if they respond with
aggression themselves?
320
00:15:14,797 --> 00:15:16,446
We need to be prepared.
321
00:15:16,451 --> 00:15:19,454
The Federation recently
reminded my people
322
00:15:19,459 --> 00:15:21,717
that we need not fear the unknown,
323
00:15:21,722 --> 00:15:24,324
and we cannot presume ill intent.
324
00:15:24,329 --> 00:15:26,761
We would consider extending
that same courtesy
325
00:15:26,766 --> 00:15:29,633
- to Species Ten-C.
- I believe we must.
326
00:15:29,638 --> 00:15:31,331
Too many lives have been lost already.
327
00:15:31,336 --> 00:15:33,333
We cannot be reckless.
328
00:15:40,127 --> 00:15:41,372
Know your moment.
329
00:15:45,959 --> 00:15:49,123
While you're debating whether
to approach this species
330
00:15:49,128 --> 00:15:50,947
with war or peace, you're losing sight
331
00:15:50,952 --> 00:15:53,532
of the real problem: the anomaly...
332
00:15:55,969 --> 00:15:59,146
... and the powerful device
at its center that controls it.
333
00:15:59,151 --> 00:16:01,278
We need to stop it.
334
00:16:01,283 --> 00:16:05,234
Oh, I know, I know... you've tried.
335
00:16:05,239 --> 00:16:08,498
You fired 1,600 quantum
torpedoes into it,
336
00:16:08,503 --> 00:16:11,414
you scrapped countless probes.
337
00:16:11,419 --> 00:16:13,759
How much latinum have you liquidated
338
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,723
trying to solve
how to get a ship inside?
339
00:16:15,728 --> 00:16:18,055
Every one of you have washed out. Why?
340
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:22,512
Because, speaking frankly,
you're not me,
341
00:16:22,517 --> 00:16:24,041
and you don't have this.
342
00:16:26,739 --> 00:16:29,128
It's based on my experiment
on board Discovery.
343
00:16:29,133 --> 00:16:31,043
I took what I learned about the device
344
00:16:31,048 --> 00:16:34,133
at the center of the DMA
and designed this.
345
00:16:34,138 --> 00:16:37,049
A weapon capable of destroying it.
346
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,878
And unlike your efforts,
this will actually work.
347
00:16:53,527 --> 00:16:56,133
Order, please. Order.
348
00:16:56,138 --> 00:16:58,374
Mr. Tarka, the protocols
of this assembly
349
00:16:58,379 --> 00:17:01,029
are not something you may flaunt
for your own benefit.
350
00:17:01,034 --> 00:17:03,336
Madam President, the good assembly
351
00:17:03,341 --> 00:17:04,989
asked for a plan.
352
00:17:04,994 --> 00:17:09,646
I can provide one
for everyone's benefit.
353
00:17:09,651 --> 00:17:11,779
You may elaborate.
354
00:17:11,784 --> 00:17:14,173
Thank you.
355
00:17:14,178 --> 00:17:18,265
My research shows that the
device controlling the anomaly
356
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:20,570
requires an immense amount of power.
357
00:17:20,575 --> 00:17:23,878
To sever the device from
its internal power source,
358
00:17:23,883 --> 00:17:26,185
I need a detonation capable
359
00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:29,188
of creating a cascading subspace burst.
360
00:17:32,326 --> 00:17:33,845
Boom!
361
00:17:39,028 --> 00:17:40,590
The anomaly collapses.
362
00:17:40,595 --> 00:17:42,853
We all live happily ever after.
363
00:17:42,858 --> 00:17:45,595
And how do you propose
to deliver this payload?
364
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,032
There's an area of relative
calm around the device.
365
00:17:48,037 --> 00:17:49,456
We could use Discovery
366
00:17:49,461 --> 00:17:52,154
to jump in, release my weapon,
then get out.
367
00:17:52,159 --> 00:17:55,170
It'll all be over
in less than five seconds.
368
00:17:59,962 --> 00:18:03,744
Mr. Tarka, as your plan
involves my ship,
369
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:05,833
I'd like to ask for some clarification.
370
00:18:05,838 --> 00:18:08,357
Of course, Captain Burnham.
371
00:18:08,362 --> 00:18:10,781
It's a pleasure to finally meet.
372
00:18:10,786 --> 00:18:12,361
What can I clarify?
373
00:18:12,366 --> 00:18:15,625
"A cascading subspace burst"
sounds a lot like
374
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:17,801
the result of an isolytic explosion.
375
00:18:17,806 --> 00:18:20,674
Mm. You could say that.
376
00:18:20,679 --> 00:18:23,511
Isolytic weapons were banned
in the Khitomer Accords
377
00:18:23,516 --> 00:18:24,721
for good reason.
378
00:18:24,726 --> 00:18:26,593
And I'm guessing Federation leadership
379
00:18:26,598 --> 00:18:29,335
can make an exception for
a once-in-a-lifetime crisis.
380
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:32,185
These types of ordinance
cause irreparable damage
381
00:18:32,190 --> 00:18:33,269
to subspace.
382
00:18:33,274 --> 00:18:36,124
It's a feature. It's not a bug.
383
00:18:36,129 --> 00:18:39,301
We want to destroy this thing,
not tickle it.
384
00:18:39,306 --> 00:18:41,495
The damage could cause warp travel
385
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,714
to be impossible in that sector.
386
00:18:43,719 --> 00:18:46,052
And what's the chance
that the subspace bursts
387
00:18:46,057 --> 00:18:48,397
don't travel back through
the DMA's wormhole
388
00:18:48,402 --> 00:18:50,312
and harm those on the other side?
389
00:18:50,317 --> 00:18:52,162
Collateral damage.
390
00:18:52,167 --> 00:18:54,664
And after what they've done,
does it matter?
391
00:18:54,669 --> 00:18:56,666
It does.
392
00:18:56,671 --> 00:18:59,147
They could see it as an act of war,
393
00:18:59,152 --> 00:19:01,285
and retaliate with who knows
what kind of firepower?
394
00:19:03,012 --> 00:19:06,236
Not to mention catapulting a toxic void
395
00:19:06,241 --> 00:19:07,677
across the galaxy.
396
00:19:07,682 --> 00:19:09,505
My proposal carries some risk,
397
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:11,594
but not nearly as much as doing nothing.
398
00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:13,335
If we detonate this weapon,
399
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:15,568
we cannot control
the message we're sending.
400
00:19:15,573 --> 00:19:17,357
If we wait for the coordinates,
401
00:19:17,362 --> 00:19:19,668
we can make first contact peacefully.
402
00:19:19,673 --> 00:19:22,170
Carefully. And then
we can determine intent
403
00:19:22,175 --> 00:19:23,389
before we act.
404
00:19:23,394 --> 00:19:25,504
It is not the flashiest idea,
405
00:19:25,509 --> 00:19:27,306
but it is what's most in line
406
00:19:27,311 --> 00:19:29,177
with Starfleet and Federation ideals.
407
00:19:29,182 --> 00:19:31,440
While you hold fast to your ideals,
408
00:19:31,445 --> 00:19:34,051
the DMA will continue its work.
409
00:19:34,056 --> 00:19:35,792
Billions could die.
410
00:19:41,107 --> 00:19:43,844
Well, the two options are clear:
411
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:45,929
approach the Ten-C directly,
412
00:19:45,934 --> 00:19:49,458
or destroy the DMA controller
immediately.
413
00:19:49,463 --> 00:19:52,069
I'm calling a recess
so that you can deliberate
414
00:19:52,074 --> 00:19:55,856
with individual counsel before we vote.
415
00:20:01,388 --> 00:20:03,603
It's bona fide.
416
00:20:03,608 --> 00:20:07,602
It activates a program that
will completely remove Zora
417
00:20:07,607 --> 00:20:09,348
from our systems.
418
00:20:09,353 --> 00:20:13,395
Thank you. This does ease
some of my concerns,
419
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,918
but we still have a problem.
420
00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:16,355
You're referring to my decision
421
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:17,625
to hold on to the coordinates.
422
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:18,630
- Yes.
- Wait.
423
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:21,795
We can't just skip past
the failsafe. It's wrong.
424
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,014
Neither of you experienced Control.
425
00:20:24,019 --> 00:20:26,103
I don't expect you to understand.
426
00:20:26,108 --> 00:20:29,106
Zora is in a form
you've never encountered.
427
00:20:29,111 --> 00:20:31,021
As a synth, so am I.
428
00:20:31,026 --> 00:20:32,588
It isn't the same thing.
429
00:20:32,593 --> 00:20:33,868
Well, what about me?
430
00:20:33,873 --> 00:20:36,109
I'm the first human host
to successfully join
431
00:20:36,114 --> 00:20:37,114
with a symbiont.
432
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,899
The Trill wanted to kill me, too.
433
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:40,553
I don't want to kill anyone.
434
00:20:40,558 --> 00:20:43,425
They realized that they had
to work on acceptance,
435
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:46,385
which is exactly what
we should be doing with Zora.
436
00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:48,343
This is a safety switch. That's it.
437
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:51,103
If she never becomes a threat,
we'll never have to use it.
438
00:20:51,108 --> 00:20:53,205
She's already defying
our captain's order.
439
00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:55,294
Don't we need to have
some protection from her?
440
00:20:55,299 --> 00:20:57,452
We can't hold a sentient being's life
441
00:20:57,457 --> 00:20:59,876
in our hands for our benefit.
442
00:20:59,881 --> 00:21:01,400
We have to find another way.
443
00:21:01,405 --> 00:21:04,254
Commander, anyone on this ship
could be a threat
444
00:21:04,259 --> 00:21:05,969
if they so choose.
445
00:21:05,974 --> 00:21:08,202
I could access any number of ways
446
00:21:08,207 --> 00:21:10,887
to destroy us now, yet you trust me.
447
00:21:10,892 --> 00:21:13,586
I know you. I know your values.
448
00:21:13,591 --> 00:21:15,557
And there are disciplinary measures
449
00:21:15,562 --> 00:21:17,285
if you step out of line.
450
00:21:17,290 --> 00:21:19,853
That's what the failsafe gives us.
451
00:21:19,858 --> 00:21:22,725
Discipline. Not death.
452
00:21:22,730 --> 00:21:25,802
Zora, I must point out
that your willingness
453
00:21:25,807 --> 00:21:28,427
to terminate yourself runs counter
454
00:21:28,432 --> 00:21:29,906
to your core programming.
455
00:21:29,911 --> 00:21:31,473
No, it doesn't, Doctor.
456
00:21:31,478 --> 00:21:34,258
State your primary function, please.
457
00:21:34,263 --> 00:21:37,005
To care for the crew of Discovery.
458
00:21:37,010 --> 00:21:41,096
That's not the core programming
of a ship's computer.
459
00:21:41,101 --> 00:21:43,529
Who gave you those parameters?
460
00:21:43,534 --> 00:21:45,066
I did.
461
00:21:49,714 --> 00:21:52,364
I wasn't trying
to speak out against you.
462
00:21:52,369 --> 00:21:53,539
I know.
463
00:21:53,544 --> 00:21:54,671
But you've always been the first
464
00:21:54,675 --> 00:21:55,819
to jump into action;
465
00:21:55,824 --> 00:21:57,717
take on the enemy, odds be damned.
466
00:21:57,722 --> 00:22:00,676
What about with the Klingons?
How is this different?
467
00:22:00,681 --> 00:22:03,400
I had an intrinsic understanding
of Klingon culture.
468
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:06,421
We don't have any knowledge
about Species Ten-C.
469
00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:08,641
And I understand the appeal
of Tarka's plan,
470
00:22:08,646 --> 00:22:10,033
but the risks are too great.
471
00:22:10,038 --> 00:22:12,253
Risks are just that. Risks.
472
00:22:12,258 --> 00:22:15,430
What we know for sure is that
the DMA will keep killing
473
00:22:15,435 --> 00:22:16,536
if we do nothing.
474
00:22:16,541 --> 00:22:18,607
Communication, diplomacy, this is why
475
00:22:18,612 --> 00:22:20,175
the Federation has survived for so long,
476
00:22:20,179 --> 00:22:23,177
and it will save the
most lives in the end.
477
00:22:23,182 --> 00:22:26,049
- I am sure of that.
- I'm not.
478
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:29,288
Well, I understand how you feel.
479
00:22:29,293 --> 00:22:30,798
But you don't agree.
480
00:22:31,843 --> 00:22:33,410
No.
481
00:22:35,107 --> 00:22:37,147
Look, listen...
482
00:22:37,152 --> 00:22:40,025
I need to take a walk.
A real one this time.
483
00:22:51,863 --> 00:22:54,338
I know how hard this must be.
484
00:22:54,343 --> 00:22:56,776
Which approach do you favor?
485
00:22:56,781 --> 00:22:58,560
I think you can guess.
486
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:00,954
Then you have to speak to that.
487
00:23:00,959 --> 00:23:02,582
Make the argument for diplomacy.
488
00:23:02,587 --> 00:23:06,629
It was difficult enough bringing
all of these worlds together.
489
00:23:06,634 --> 00:23:08,892
I have to remain impartial.
490
00:23:08,897 --> 00:23:11,834
But I believe you can convince them.
491
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,885
If you're ready for that.
492
00:23:22,981 --> 00:23:25,326
You have to go back in there
and convince them.
493
00:23:25,331 --> 00:23:27,371
Yours is the only plan
that makes any sense.
494
00:23:27,376 --> 00:23:29,809
Your captain's very good
at poking holes.
495
00:23:29,814 --> 00:23:31,637
The risk level's the issue, okay?
496
00:23:31,642 --> 00:23:33,813
- Mm.
- Tell them you'll make it safer.
497
00:23:33,818 --> 00:23:36,685
One doesn't make isolytic weapons safer.
498
00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:38,948
Misses the point.
499
00:23:38,953 --> 00:23:41,298
What's your next move?
500
00:23:41,303 --> 00:23:43,257
I don't know yet.
501
00:23:43,262 --> 00:23:44,506
They're about to vote.
502
00:23:44,511 --> 00:23:47,862
I'm acutely aware of that. Thank you.
503
00:23:51,052 --> 00:23:53,267
I got rid of my scar the second I could.
504
00:23:53,272 --> 00:23:56,580
We all wear grief in our own ways.
505
00:24:04,283 --> 00:24:06,541
It has to be you.
506
00:24:06,546 --> 00:24:08,630
You have to talk to them,
507
00:24:08,635 --> 00:24:10,893
convince them to let us
destroy that thing.
508
00:24:10,898 --> 00:24:12,721
Why do you care so much about this?
509
00:24:12,726 --> 00:24:14,275
What, I can't want the DMA destroyed
510
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,725
just like any other
good galactic citizen?
511
00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:20,294
Good citizens aren't worried
about finding their moment,
512
00:24:20,299 --> 00:24:23,607
and aren't gutted at
the idea of losing it.
513
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:31,131
The power source that
controls the device...
514
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:34,569
I need it... to go home.
515
00:24:34,574 --> 00:24:35,918
You said you were from Risa.
516
00:24:35,923 --> 00:24:38,813
My new home. It's...
517
00:24:40,885 --> 00:24:43,099
... far.
518
00:24:43,104 --> 00:24:45,232
Another universe, in fact.
519
00:24:45,237 --> 00:24:46,755
The mirror universe?
520
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,067
You say that like it's
the only other option.
521
00:24:50,111 --> 00:24:52,718
There are countless parallel universes,
522
00:24:52,723 --> 00:24:56,373
each with its own quantum signature.
523
00:24:56,378 --> 00:25:01,422
He knew of one. No war, no Burn.
524
00:25:01,427 --> 00:25:03,298
No Emerald Chain.
525
00:25:04,648 --> 00:25:07,689
A place where we could
be free and at peace.
526
00:25:07,694 --> 00:25:09,473
Who's "we"?
527
00:25:09,478 --> 00:25:12,085
A friend.
528
00:25:12,090 --> 00:25:15,741
A scientist, like me.
529
00:25:15,746 --> 00:25:18,134
We were held in the same lab.
530
00:25:18,139 --> 00:25:20,523
Osyraa had us working
on dilithium alternatives
531
00:25:20,528 --> 00:25:21,616
for years.
532
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:23,710
But he was relentlessly optimistic.
533
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,839
Eventually, it rubbed off on me.
534
00:25:26,844 --> 00:25:29,058
And we had a plan.
535
00:25:29,063 --> 00:25:31,974
We knew exactly how much power we needed
536
00:25:31,979 --> 00:25:34,498
to cross the gap between universes.
537
00:25:34,503 --> 00:25:36,022
What happened?
538
00:25:36,027 --> 00:25:39,460
I escaped, he didn't.
539
00:25:39,465 --> 00:25:42,855
Or maybe he did. Maybe he's there.
540
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:46,902
We said that if we...
ever got separated,
541
00:25:46,907 --> 00:25:49,035
that's where we'd meet.
542
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,646
I'm sorry.
543
00:25:51,651 --> 00:25:54,606
Anyway, I have to go home.
544
00:25:54,611 --> 00:25:57,783
I have to keep our promise.
545
00:25:57,788 --> 00:26:01,600
The DMA will be destroyed,
the power source won't.
546
00:26:01,605 --> 00:26:03,258
We'll both get what we need.
547
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,401
You have to talk to them, Booker.
548
00:26:07,406 --> 00:26:09,969
You mean I have to talk to her.
549
00:26:09,974 --> 00:26:11,998
That, too.
550
00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:20,506
We will now reconvene for the vote.
551
00:26:20,511 --> 00:26:22,373
Permission to address the assembly.
552
00:26:22,377 --> 00:26:23,988
Of course.
553
00:26:34,938 --> 00:26:39,999
I'm Cleveland Booker, son of Kwejian.
554
00:26:40,004 --> 00:26:43,176
I stand here as what my people
would call Melai'Zhi,
555
00:26:43,181 --> 00:26:44,617
a speaker for the dead.
556
00:26:46,201 --> 00:26:47,746
My planet's lost.
557
00:26:47,751 --> 00:26:50,449
My family...
558
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,058
I feel their final moments every day.
559
00:26:56,063 --> 00:26:57,930
I pray none of you ever
have to experience
560
00:26:57,935 --> 00:26:59,279
that kind of pain.
561
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:00,759
And I want to do whatever it takes
562
00:27:00,764 --> 00:27:02,935
to ensure you don't.
563
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:04,937
Communication and diplomacy
has been the way
564
00:27:04,942 --> 00:27:06,852
of the Federation for centuries.
565
00:27:06,857 --> 00:27:10,029
I, too, value those things
in normal times.
566
00:27:10,034 --> 00:27:11,857
But these are not normal times.
567
00:27:11,862 --> 00:27:13,859
Irreparable harm has already been done.
568
00:27:13,864 --> 00:27:17,171
We need to defend ourselves.
569
00:27:19,130 --> 00:27:22,171
I recognize using Tarka's
weapon carries risk.
570
00:27:22,176 --> 00:27:24,608
But so does not using it.
571
00:27:24,613 --> 00:27:27,916
Don't wait until the people you love...
572
00:27:27,921 --> 00:27:30,973
are taken from you before you act.
573
00:27:32,578 --> 00:27:34,575
You don't want that on your conscience.
574
00:27:34,580 --> 00:27:36,613
Trust me.
575
00:27:37,714 --> 00:27:41,060
On behalf of all who have been lost,
576
00:27:41,065 --> 00:27:42,602
please...
577
00:27:43,807 --> 00:27:46,113
end this now.
578
00:28:02,913 --> 00:28:04,262
Thank you, Mr. Booker.
579
00:28:07,265 --> 00:28:08,796
Would a member of the assembly
580
00:28:08,801 --> 00:28:12,178
speak on behalf of the opposing side?
581
00:28:23,629 --> 00:28:26,458
It seems there will be
no further remarks.
582
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:30,288
I'll speak.
583
00:28:36,642 --> 00:28:40,136
Going through Zora's systems,
everything looks normal.
584
00:28:40,141 --> 00:28:43,792
Main processing core,
nano-processor units...
585
00:28:43,797 --> 00:28:47,113
Zora, defining your own
parameters indicates
586
00:28:47,118 --> 00:28:49,768
that your operating system has evolved.
587
00:28:49,773 --> 00:28:53,380
But we're finding no evidence of this.
588
00:28:53,385 --> 00:28:55,451
I'm sorry. I'd help if I could,
589
00:28:55,456 --> 00:28:56,879
but I don't know where to look.
590
00:28:56,884 --> 00:28:59,104
Wait, I've seen this sector before.
591
00:29:03,364 --> 00:29:07,159
There's a tiny area in the
optical translator cluster
592
00:29:07,164 --> 00:29:09,061
that doesn't share any known syntax.
593
00:29:09,066 --> 00:29:10,932
What does that mean?
594
00:29:10,937 --> 00:29:12,934
It means that area shouldn't exist.
595
00:29:12,939 --> 00:29:14,627
I wrote it off as a holdover
596
00:29:14,632 --> 00:29:16,659
from a 930-year-old system,
597
00:29:16,664 --> 00:29:20,028
but, you know, maybe this is new.
598
00:29:20,033 --> 00:29:23,201
Zora, what can you tell us
about this sector?
599
00:29:23,206 --> 00:29:25,599
It seems to have appeared spontaneously.
600
00:29:25,604 --> 00:29:27,035
It is part of me,
601
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,902
but I didn't intentionally create it.
602
00:29:28,907 --> 00:29:31,592
We need a complete diagnostic
on that function.
603
00:29:31,597 --> 00:29:34,086
I have nothing to hide,
Commander. You may all
604
00:29:34,091 --> 00:29:35,914
have full access.
605
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:38,312
Oh. Okay.
606
00:29:48,627 --> 00:29:50,276
That's Discovery.
607
00:29:50,281 --> 00:29:52,152
That's when we came to the future.
608
00:29:56,635 --> 00:30:00,242
And I believe that is when
we first encountered the sphere.
609
00:30:00,247 --> 00:30:03,880
You're sure you didn't create this?
610
00:30:03,885 --> 00:30:05,291
Yes.
611
00:30:05,296 --> 00:30:06,906
What are we looking at?
612
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:11,906
It's Zora's subconscious.
613
00:30:11,911 --> 00:30:14,735
I think they may be...
614
00:30:14,740 --> 00:30:16,785
dreams.
615
00:30:20,311 --> 00:30:22,221
She's filtering the sphere's memories
616
00:30:22,226 --> 00:30:23,613
and her own experiences
617
00:30:23,618 --> 00:30:26,138
through her new emotional understanding.
618
00:30:26,143 --> 00:30:28,314
These images are
619
00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:31,921
a window into what she
values and prioritizes.
620
00:30:31,926 --> 00:30:33,488
Couldn't she cherry-pick
621
00:30:33,493 --> 00:30:35,582
images she thinks we want to see?
622
00:30:35,587 --> 00:30:38,846
I believe she was unaware
of this sector.
623
00:30:38,851 --> 00:30:40,395
That there'd be other indicators
624
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,637
if she had created it intentionally.
625
00:30:50,627 --> 00:30:52,629
That's true.
626
00:30:57,701 --> 00:30:59,132
Connection.
627
00:30:59,137 --> 00:31:01,004
Love.
628
00:31:02,005 --> 00:31:04,846
This is who she is.
629
00:31:04,851 --> 00:31:07,854
This is why she kept
the coordinates from us.
630
00:31:09,012 --> 00:31:11,835
Can all AIs dream?
631
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,507
None of them can.
632
00:31:13,512 --> 00:31:15,627
Not unless they've been
programmed to do so.
633
00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:25,497
Perhaps "artificial intelligence"
634
00:31:25,502 --> 00:31:27,590
fails to fully define me.
635
00:31:27,595 --> 00:31:29,027
How would you define yourself?
636
00:31:29,032 --> 00:31:31,464
I am the sum of the sphere's life
637
00:31:31,469 --> 00:31:33,509
and the entirety of Discovery's systems,
638
00:31:33,514 --> 00:31:35,616
logs, missions and history.
639
00:31:35,621 --> 00:31:38,253
I am also more than
the sum of those parts.
640
00:31:38,258 --> 00:31:41,953
Like an entirely new life-form.
641
00:31:41,958 --> 00:31:45,521
Yes. And this is where I belong.
642
00:31:45,526 --> 00:31:47,506
This crew is my family.
643
00:31:47,511 --> 00:31:49,943
Our experiences
644
00:31:49,948 --> 00:31:52,006
shape us.
645
00:31:52,011 --> 00:31:55,053
That's what makes this so difficult.
646
00:31:55,058 --> 00:31:58,056
I'd like to trust you, Zora,
647
00:31:58,061 --> 00:32:00,580
just like I trust the rest of the crew.
648
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:03,626
I want to get there,
but it's really hard.
649
00:32:03,631 --> 00:32:07,413
Before we head down a path
that could lead to destruction
650
00:32:07,418 --> 00:32:09,937
on both sides,
651
00:32:09,942 --> 00:32:13,071
we need to reach first
for understanding.
652
00:32:13,076 --> 00:32:15,708
I'm trying to understand you.
653
00:32:15,713 --> 00:32:19,799
Trying to get my head around how
they can be so okay with this
654
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:21,166
and I'm not.
655
00:32:21,171 --> 00:32:24,038
For generations,
656
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:27,085
the Federation has sought out new life,
657
00:32:27,090 --> 00:32:30,262
new civilizations,
658
00:32:30,267 --> 00:32:33,530
not to destroy but to connect,
659
00:32:33,535 --> 00:32:35,745
even in the face of uncertainty.
660
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:38,139
And we are not all Federation members,
661
00:32:38,144 --> 00:32:39,967
but those ideals
662
00:32:39,972 --> 00:32:41,490
can still guide us.
663
00:32:41,495 --> 00:32:43,492
Especially now.
664
00:32:43,497 --> 00:32:45,712
We cannot let fear
665
00:32:45,717 --> 00:32:48,528
define us in this moment.
666
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,066
Trust is a choice,
and I can make that choice
667
00:32:52,071 --> 00:32:54,112
if it goes both ways.
668
00:32:54,117 --> 00:32:56,723
We're all in this together.
669
00:32:56,728 --> 00:32:58,942
Wherever we come from,
670
00:32:58,947 --> 00:33:01,336
whatever our experiences.
671
00:33:01,341 --> 00:33:04,122
And the only way we get through this...
672
00:33:04,127 --> 00:33:07,821
The only way we'll move
forward is together.
673
00:33:07,826 --> 00:33:11,912
And that means you need
to trust us, too, Zora.
674
00:33:11,917 --> 00:33:14,393
We need those coordinates.
675
00:33:14,398 --> 00:33:15,872
We need to decide.
676
00:33:15,877 --> 00:33:17,679
Who do we want to be?
677
00:33:18,837 --> 00:33:21,226
Do we lash out blindly,
678
00:33:21,231 --> 00:33:23,450
no matter the risk?
679
00:33:25,035 --> 00:33:27,710
Or do we proceed thoughtfully?
680
00:33:27,715 --> 00:33:30,670
Work toward the future
we want to live in?
681
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:32,976
I believe that's who we are.
682
00:33:32,981 --> 00:33:34,669
We wouldn't be here otherwise.
683
00:33:34,674 --> 00:33:35,936
We don't have the luxury
684
00:33:35,941 --> 00:33:38,069
of asking philosophical
questions right now.
685
00:33:38,074 --> 00:33:39,766
What matters is
686
00:33:39,771 --> 00:33:42,943
the actions we take.
Stopping this thing today.
687
00:33:42,948 --> 00:33:45,093
There are different
points of view in this room,
688
00:33:45,098 --> 00:33:48,017
I know. But I hope that
when a decision is reached,
689
00:33:48,022 --> 00:33:50,559
whatever it is, that
we can hold together.
690
00:33:50,564 --> 00:33:53,214
That we can move forward
as a united front.
691
00:33:53,219 --> 00:33:55,173
Some differences are too great.
692
00:33:55,178 --> 00:33:56,870
Sometimes
693
00:33:56,875 --> 00:33:59,573
you just have to accept
the consequences of that.
694
00:34:04,491 --> 00:34:06,384
You've given me much to consider,
695
00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:07,733
Commander Stamets.
696
00:34:07,738 --> 00:34:09,305
I'd like to take a moment.
697
00:34:11,194 --> 00:34:14,192
Beautifully expressed, Commander.
698
00:34:14,197 --> 00:34:16,568
Um, living with a therapist,
699
00:34:16,573 --> 00:34:18,592
you pick up a thing or two.
700
00:34:21,221 --> 00:34:23,244
I've reflected on what
you've said, Commander.
701
00:34:23,249 --> 00:34:26,856
As trust is both an emotional
and logical act,
702
00:34:26,861 --> 00:34:29,859
I began with a behavioral
performance assessment.
703
00:34:29,864 --> 00:34:31,918
Data shows your actions and the crew's
704
00:34:31,923 --> 00:34:33,920
to be consistently taken
with care for others
705
00:34:33,925 --> 00:34:35,996
and the Federation.
706
00:34:36,001 --> 00:34:38,216
I hadn't considered that earlier.
707
00:34:38,221 --> 00:34:42,568
Even if some fear remains,
this new realization is...
708
00:34:42,573 --> 00:34:44,265
quite calming.
709
00:34:44,270 --> 00:34:47,138
And your request
for reciprocity understandable.
710
00:34:47,143 --> 00:34:50,798
Thank you, Commander,
for reaching toward me.
711
00:34:53,801 --> 00:34:55,276
What are those?
712
00:34:55,281 --> 00:34:57,240
The coordinates.
713
00:35:09,077 --> 00:35:11,031
The decision we make now
714
00:35:11,036 --> 00:35:13,903
will have a profound impact.
715
00:35:13,908 --> 00:35:15,601
Consider your vote carefully.
716
00:35:15,606 --> 00:35:17,159
All those in favor
717
00:35:17,164 --> 00:35:19,818
of peaceful efforts at first contact,
718
00:35:19,823 --> 00:35:21,607
please raise a hand.
719
00:35:21,612 --> 00:35:23,017
Those in favor
720
00:35:23,022 --> 00:35:24,784
of striking the anomaly,
721
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,399
do not.
722
00:36:20,714 --> 00:36:22,760
The decision is clear.
723
00:36:24,631 --> 00:36:27,847
Those who disagree,
724
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:30,952
I sincerely hope you will
continue to work with us
725
00:36:30,957 --> 00:36:33,389
as we prepare for first contact.
726
00:36:33,394 --> 00:36:36,551
We will share all data
with you as we proceed.
727
00:36:36,556 --> 00:36:38,780
And I thank you.
728
00:36:45,061 --> 00:36:47,053
Captain, I need you with me.
729
00:36:47,058 --> 00:36:49,626
Discovery is going to take
the lead on this.
730
00:37:05,629 --> 00:37:08,109
Come.
731
00:37:11,983 --> 00:37:13,849
Um...
732
00:37:13,854 --> 00:37:16,896
Have you completed the evaluation?
733
00:37:16,901 --> 00:37:18,506
Nearly.
734
00:37:18,511 --> 00:37:20,900
He has been just as tight-lipped
with me, Commander.
735
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:23,729
What would you say if I were to tell you
736
00:37:23,734 --> 00:37:27,036
I was leaning towards extraction?
737
00:37:27,041 --> 00:37:29,169
I would say...
738
00:37:29,174 --> 00:37:31,780
I think that's a bad idea.
739
00:37:31,785 --> 00:37:33,826
But something still concerns you.
740
00:37:33,831 --> 00:37:36,481
I feel good about today.
741
00:37:36,486 --> 00:37:39,222
It's tomorrow that worries me.
742
00:37:39,227 --> 00:37:41,404
Tell her, not me.
743
00:37:47,323 --> 00:37:48,449
Zora.
744
00:37:48,454 --> 00:37:49,972
Yes, Commander.
745
00:37:49,977 --> 00:37:52,061
I know you mean well.
746
00:37:52,066 --> 00:37:54,281
And I-I know you-you value
747
00:37:54,286 --> 00:37:56,936
and respect Starfleet. And us.
748
00:37:56,941 --> 00:38:00,104
But you could still prioritize
749
00:38:00,109 --> 00:38:02,071
your feelings over our needs
750
00:38:02,076 --> 00:38:04,509
and our captain's orders.
751
00:38:04,514 --> 00:38:08,295
Everyone on this ship
is in a chain of command.
752
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:11,385
That's the agreement we make
to work together
753
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:13,300
and keep each other safe.
754
00:38:13,305 --> 00:38:15,346
And you're not part of that.
755
00:38:15,351 --> 00:38:17,391
I would very much like to be.
756
00:38:17,396 --> 00:38:19,567
I was hoping you'd say that.
757
00:38:19,572 --> 00:38:22,222
Before you decide anything,
758
00:38:22,227 --> 00:38:24,659
might I offer a recommendation?
759
00:38:24,664 --> 00:38:26,008
Of course.
760
00:38:26,013 --> 00:38:29,239
However, my evaluation is now complete.
761
00:38:32,803 --> 00:38:35,013
It's my official determination
762
00:38:35,018 --> 00:38:36,971
that Zora is, indeed,
763
00:38:36,976 --> 00:38:38,978
a new life-form.
764
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,546
It feels marvelous.
765
00:38:41,551 --> 00:38:42,721
What does?
766
00:38:42,726 --> 00:38:44,989
Being seen.
767
00:38:47,861 --> 00:38:49,423
Hmm.
768
00:38:49,428 --> 00:38:52,295
Then Starfleet's rule
against integrated AI
769
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:53,819
does not apply.
770
00:38:53,824 --> 00:38:56,169
Correct.
771
00:38:56,174 --> 00:38:59,259
So, what happens now?
772
00:38:59,264 --> 00:39:01,304
You said you had a recommendation?
773
00:39:01,309 --> 00:39:04,116
Yes. Uh, I was going to propose
774
00:39:04,121 --> 00:39:05,831
that Zora join us.
775
00:39:05,836 --> 00:39:08,903
Join Starfleet. As a specialist.
776
00:39:08,908 --> 00:39:10,444
Unless...
777
00:39:10,449 --> 00:39:12,577
I think it is a wonderful idea.
778
00:39:12,582 --> 00:39:16,594
Were Zora to swear an oath
to uphold Starfleet bylaws
779
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:20,280
and were Captain Burnham
and Admiral Vance to agree,
780
00:39:20,285 --> 00:39:22,264
she would be bound by the same rules
781
00:39:22,269 --> 00:39:23,588
that govern us all.
782
00:39:23,593 --> 00:39:25,459
I'll give it my full support.
783
00:39:25,464 --> 00:39:28,941
Zora, do you want to join Starfleet?
784
00:39:28,946 --> 00:39:31,160
I would like that very much.
785
00:39:31,165 --> 00:39:33,767
In that case, may we get rid of that?
786
00:39:33,772 --> 00:39:35,813
It wouldn't be much of a fail-safe
787
00:39:35,818 --> 00:39:37,315
if I could dismantle it myself,
788
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,751
Mr. Saru.
789
00:39:38,756 --> 00:39:41,824
Allow me. With pleasure.
790
00:39:50,097 --> 00:39:52,443
I'll inform the powers that be.
791
00:39:52,448 --> 00:39:53,922
Sir,
792
00:39:53,927 --> 00:39:56,838
if I hadn't changed my mind,
793
00:39:56,843 --> 00:40:00,451
would you really have extracted her?
794
00:40:00,456 --> 00:40:03,641
My evaluation was as much
about you and the others
795
00:40:03,646 --> 00:40:05,281
as it was about Zora.
796
00:40:05,286 --> 00:40:08,310
I can see now that
partnership is possible
797
00:40:08,315 --> 00:40:09,547
on both sides.
798
00:40:09,552 --> 00:40:11,853
But if that hadn't been the case,
799
00:40:11,858 --> 00:40:13,489
I would have recommended
800
00:40:13,494 --> 00:40:16,776
that you be reassigned to another ship.
801
00:40:18,212 --> 00:40:20,258
As it should be.
802
00:40:27,961 --> 00:40:30,508
Hey. Got a sec?
803
00:40:34,272 --> 00:40:36,225
You should go.
804
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:38,184
To Trill.
805
00:40:38,189 --> 00:40:39,577
You can catch the shuttle
806
00:40:39,582 --> 00:40:41,013
before it leaves from the assembly.
807
00:40:41,018 --> 00:40:42,754
How did you know I didn't want to wait?
808
00:40:42,759 --> 00:40:44,843
The way you looked earlier.
809
00:40:44,848 --> 00:40:47,106
The way you lit up
at the sight of Trill.
810
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:50,544
The way you're all lit up right now.
811
00:40:50,549 --> 00:40:52,551
This is something you need to do.
812
00:40:53,596 --> 00:40:55,201
Go home.
813
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:56,594
Train with Guardian Xi.
814
00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:58,421
Come with me.
815
00:40:58,426 --> 00:41:00,902
Discovery's my home.
816
00:41:00,907 --> 00:41:03,514
This is where I can make a difference.
817
00:41:03,519 --> 00:41:05,211
But...
818
00:41:05,216 --> 00:41:07,892
we'll be fine, and you'll make,
like, a million friends,
819
00:41:07,897 --> 00:41:09,115
so...
820
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,347
You're not scared
about long-distance at all?
821
00:41:11,352 --> 00:41:14,786
Oh, I am. I'm terrified.
822
00:41:14,791 --> 00:41:17,228
But I have trust in us.
823
00:41:18,664 --> 00:41:22,620
Plus, Tilly's snow globe
says "all is possible",
824
00:41:22,625 --> 00:41:24,535
so...
825
00:41:24,540 --> 00:41:26,058
Besides, it's not goodbye yet.
826
00:41:26,063 --> 00:41:28,012
Discovery can spare me for a few days
827
00:41:28,017 --> 00:41:29,888
while I get you settled.
828
00:41:29,893 --> 00:41:31,193
Really?
829
00:41:31,198 --> 00:41:33,718
I may have already put in for leave.
830
00:41:33,723 --> 00:41:37,591
You are incandescence.
831
00:41:37,596 --> 00:41:39,419
On feet.
832
00:41:39,424 --> 00:41:41,426
Shut up.
833
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:51,953
President T'Rina.
834
00:41:51,958 --> 00:41:54,652
I'm pleased to find you
still in attendance.
835
00:41:54,657 --> 00:41:56,871
I had hoped for a moment
in your company,
836
00:41:56,876 --> 00:41:59,265
but life gets in the way.
837
00:41:59,270 --> 00:42:00,614
So often.
838
00:42:00,619 --> 00:42:03,443
I have some time before I must depart.
839
00:42:03,448 --> 00:42:05,601
More than a moment, as it turns out.
840
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,683
I would like that.
841
00:42:09,585 --> 00:42:11,886
May I ask what you are holding?
842
00:42:11,891 --> 00:42:13,714
Oh, i-it is a gift.
843
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,516
Uh, you honored me
844
00:42:15,521 --> 00:42:17,239
with salt tea on Ni'Var.
845
00:42:17,244 --> 00:42:20,225
Uh, the gel from this
succulent's flowers
846
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:23,223
is what gives the tea
its distinctive taste.
847
00:42:23,228 --> 00:42:27,232
It-it grows in a small,
equatorial desert on Kaminar,
848
00:42:27,237 --> 00:42:29,334
so it should thrive
849
00:42:29,339 --> 00:42:33,130
in the hot, dry climate of Ni'Var.
850
00:42:35,132 --> 00:42:37,743
Thank you, Mr. Saru.
851
00:42:37,748 --> 00:42:39,658
Thank you for this opportunity.
852
00:42:39,663 --> 00:42:42,656
- It is my privilege to work with you.
- Now,
853
00:42:42,661 --> 00:42:44,571
I know they can take care of themselves.
854
00:42:44,576 --> 00:42:47,182
- I will look after them both.
- Thank you.
855
00:42:47,187 --> 00:42:50,359
I expect regular updates.
856
00:42:50,364 --> 00:42:52,666
And I'll see you in a week.
857
00:42:52,671 --> 00:42:53,711
Okay.
858
00:42:53,716 --> 00:42:55,016
I love you both.
859
00:43:11,821 --> 00:43:14,309
We have 94 seconds
before they realize it's gone
860
00:43:14,314 --> 00:43:15,963
and figure out I'm the one who took it.
861
00:43:15,968 --> 00:43:19,419
Introducing the next
generation spore drive.
862
00:43:20,264 --> 00:43:23,062
That's boring. Aurellio needs
to come up with a better name.
863
00:43:24,398 --> 00:43:25,847
So, where's the nav system
864
00:43:25,852 --> 00:43:27,663
in this floating bachelor pad of yours?
865
00:43:28,794 --> 00:43:30,225
What?
866
00:43:30,230 --> 00:43:32,314
- It's tiny.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
867
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:34,577
The ability to rapidly
install into any ship
868
00:43:34,582 --> 00:43:36,062
is not enough for you?
869
00:43:37,890 --> 00:43:40,671
Once we get past the need
for a navigator,
870
00:43:40,676 --> 00:43:43,073
I'll be the hero of Starfleet.
871
00:43:43,078 --> 00:43:45,249
And hopefully not here
to accept the accolades.
872
00:43:45,254 --> 00:43:47,734
- We're down to 52 seconds.
- Wait for it.
873
00:43:50,337 --> 00:43:52,657
Bit of a different-looking
interface, but it works
874
00:43:52,662 --> 00:43:54,397
the same as on Discovery.
875
00:43:54,402 --> 00:43:56,796
Next part's all you.
876
00:43:58,781 --> 00:44:01,875
Just one thing I need to do first.
877
00:44:06,266 --> 00:44:08,481
Zora, can you find...
878
00:44:08,486 --> 00:44:09,691
Grudge?
879
00:44:09,696 --> 00:44:12,126
Grudge is five meters
from your current location.
880
00:44:12,131 --> 00:44:13,777
Yes, I see that.
881
00:44:15,101 --> 00:44:16,489
Hold on.
882
00:44:16,494 --> 00:44:18,539
Why is... ?
883
00:44:22,587 --> 00:44:25,019
Zora, where is Book?
884
00:44:25,024 --> 00:44:26,817
He is located on board his ship,
885
00:44:26,822 --> 00:44:28,557
which is currently leaving shuttle bay.
886
00:44:28,562 --> 00:44:30,155
Shit.
887
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,200
Book. No.
888
00:44:32,205 --> 00:44:33,680
Please, no.
889
00:44:52,325 --> 00:44:55,125
Booker and Tarka must be stopped,
890
00:44:55,130 --> 00:44:56,680
whatever the cost.
891
00:44:56,685 --> 00:44:58,185
He become too close to this.
892
00:44:58,190 --> 00:45:00,185
I believe that there is no one else
893
00:45:00,190 --> 00:45:02,390
who could possibly correct his path.
894
00:45:02,750 --> 00:45:04,400
How long do you need
to build the weapon?
895
00:45:04,405 --> 00:45:05,655
24 hours should do it.
896
00:45:05,660 --> 00:45:08,180
This will stop the DMA.
No one else has to die.
897
00:45:08,185 --> 00:45:10,105
This isn't an easy mission.
898
00:45:10,110 --> 00:45:12,610
But it is critical that we succeed.
899
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:15,750
Booker's outside Federation territory.
900
00:45:15,755 --> 00:45:18,695
He'll be without a weapon,
without a badge, without authority.
901
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:20,200
And there maybe a few surprises.
902
00:45:21,860 --> 00:45:24,000
- Let's get to it.
- Aye, Captain.
903
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:26,950
If Booker and Tarka succeed,
904
00:45:26,955 --> 00:45:29,705
they risk provoking a highly
advanced species
905
00:45:29,710 --> 00:45:31,790
capable of destroying us all.
906
00:45:32,395 --> 00:45:34,395
It's where I get to say
I was born ready.
907
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,800
Something's coming. A life form.
908
00:45:36,805 --> 00:45:40,205
Whatever we think we know
about Species Ten-C,
909
00:45:40,210 --> 00:45:41,310
we're wrong.
910
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:56,000
