Previously
on Star Trek: Discovery...

Be quick, Ensign.
Come nightfall,

the ice,

it infests everything.

But you look like
you can handle yourself.

You're free to go.

I won't last the night.

They're running out
of dilithium, the Chain.

That's why Osyraa wants me back.

I'm the only one who knows.

I'm reading
that there is dilithium

dispersed
throughout this entire planet.

I think we may have

just found the source
of the Burn.

Number One, you have the conn.

Adira?

ADIRA:
He'll need this medication
to survive

until Discovery comes back.

Hey!

I'm here. Where are you?

(whispers):
I'll come back for both of you.

If more than a day goes by,
there's no point.

Gotcha.

-Where are the others?
-We have to go back for them.

BRYCE:
It's Osyraa.

Black alert!

What is that?

-I won't help you.
-REGULATOR: What you want
is irrelevant.

No!

This isn't over.

I think it is.

Coordinates
for Federation Headquarters

are already set.
Get us out of here.

BURNHAM:
No. No.

We're too late.

Get a message to the Viridian
to reduce firepower

to six percent.

If they keep hitting this hard,
they'll blow a real hole in us,

and then all this subterfuge
is pointless.

Yes, sir.
Hailing the Viridian now.

VANCE:
Any word from Captain Saru?

WILLA:
Their comms are being jammed.

How long has Discovery
been under attack?

And why didn't we see it
in our long-range sensors?

WILLA:
They jumped into range
with the Viridian attached.

Osyraa found a way to compromise
their mycelial field?

Seems so.
Both vessels bear ionic residue

consistent with signatures
from the Verubin Nebula.

Shut down
all nonessential comms channels

-and find out which ones
have been compromised.
-Yes, sir.

She was waiting for them
like an Altarian spider.

Lieutenant Teemo,

any communications
with Discovery yet?

-Nothing.
-How long before they reach
our shields?

Three minutes.
Shall we let them in, sir?

Not yet.

Where are we
on securing the ship?

All life signs accounted for.
Bridge crew have been taken

to the ready room.
The rest are in the brig.

-And the ship's
operating systems?
-Nearly all have been

successfully converted
to our systems.

-"Nearly all"?
-There's a small bit of code

that's proving hard to delete.

Computer.

It appears to be
ancient Earth entertainment.

How much memory is this,
uh, eating up?

-Practically nothing.
-Turn it off.

Tell the Viridian

to increase speed.

It should look
like they're gaining on us.

We're getting close
to the Federation shields, sir.

We'll be destroyed.

OSYRAA:
They wouldn't take that chance.

Not while they still think we
might be the crew of Discovery.

They're pulling back.
That last torpedo came in

at less than ten percent.
Just a big show.

-No talking.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

-Eyes forward!
-You don't need to
keep any other hostages.

All you need for leverage
is the captain of the ship.

And that's supposed to be you?

Hello, sweetheart.

Remember me?

Make the kill next time

instead of leaving the job
to the ice.

What were you saying?

I have the conn.

Oh, you have the conn.

Oh. I must say, I'm impressed.

You've done a bang-up job.

It took us all of 12 minutes
to capture your ship and crew.

I'm sure
under lesser leadership,

it would've been ten.

Yeah, well, you're never gonna
get what you want

unless you release
the rest of the crew.

Or the Federation will realize
how inept you are and beg us

to keep you.

Guess we'll find out.

Osyraa doesn't want
anyone touched.

Not even this one.

(thudding)

Move.

-Oh! Oh, that was close.
-That is why

even couriers steer clear
of the courier network.

ETA to FHQ is 90 seconds.

Up ahead. Wanderer-class ship.

What's left of it. Not good.

There's no morphing around that.

Shields at 20%.

Discovery just entered
the gravity well.

If we don't let her in, she'll
be crushed against the shields.

Contact in 60 seconds, sir.

Open a port just big enough
for Discovery to pass through.

Bring her in via tractor beam
to a secure location.

Security team at the ready.
Fully armed.

WILLA:
Sir, another ship's approaching.

It's Mr. Booker's.

They are extending subspace.

What the hell is going on here?

BURNHAM:
Commander Michael Burnham

to Federation Headquarters.

Burnham to HQ. Do you copy?

-Comms are fried.
-They're letting her in.

KANAK:
30 seconds
to the shield barrier.

Osyraa did the same thing
on Benthos IV.

Got through the shields,

then blew up
the presidential palace.

We have got to get back
on Discovery.

TEEMO:
Tractor beam range
in 20 seconds.

-Grudge secure?
-BURNHAM: We should
all be so cozy.

Then let's do this.

BURNHAM:
Ten seconds counting down.

Ten, nine,

-eight, seven...
-COMPUTER: Proximity alert.

(gasps)
Six.

-COMPUTER: Proximity alert.
-BURNHAM: Five.

-COMPUTER: Proximity alert.
-BURNHAM: Four.

Proximity alert.

-BURNHAM: Three.
-Come on.

-(gasps)
-Proximity alert.

-BURNHAM: Two.
-Proximity alert.

BURNHAM:
One. Brace for impact.

OSYRAA:
Contact the Viridian.

-Tell them to stay at the ready.
-ZAREH: Will do.

Are you ready to talk
to the Federation yet?

OSYRAA:
Hold them off.
Right now, I want to know

how the hell did a ship fly
into my shuttle bay?

They got in
just as shields went down, sir.

You should have seen them coming
and blown them out of the sky.

How many life signs on board?

Can't tell.
Fire-suppression protocols

are blocking all sensors.

My regulators are on their way.

Whoever it is, I'll handle them.

-I want them alive.
-You got it.

Ah.

I cannot believe
this is 900-year-old technology.

Nine hundred and thirty.

It must have been
the Golden Age of Science.

It's remarkable.

Tell me the greatest scientist
in three sectors

has figured out
how the spore drive works.

Well, it is quite a puzzle.

That's where the "greatest
scientist" part comes in.

AURELLIO:
What is clear

is that he's a conduit
of some kind

for the mycelial network.

But to know more,

I will need to do a bioanalysis.

Is it... safe to work here?

Of course.
Our enemies are secure.

I would never let
anything happen to you.

You know that.

But you seem worried.

(sighs)

I'm in hostile territory,

about to take
the gamble of my life.

To think the Federation
would hoard their technology,

but you would free us all
of the yoke of dilithium.

The galaxy is
a much better place

with you in it, Osyraa.

(chuckles softly)

Work fast, old friend.

We may need to jump away
if things go awry.

Computer.

Play file 73
for Invigilator Aurellio.

(Andorian opera playing)

Thank you.

BURNHAM:
The DOTs have nearly put out
all the fires.

We only have a few minutes
before the Regulators

-show up.
-Okay. Queen is safe and secure.

-I found another dose
of radiation meds.
-Oh.

All right.

Now we got to find Stamets.
Osyraa can't jump without him.

You have to find Stamets.

It's a concealing device.

Hides the life sign
from sensors.

Took it off a tosser
who was stealing

my cargo
at the Theskian Exchange.

Works like a charm.

-But I've only got one.
-We stick together.

Hey. They're expecting
to find a pilot in here.

Once the smoke clears,
they'll read our life signs,

and I don't know Discovery
half as well

-as you.
-(thud, clattering)

Go save the day, Michael.

Is this the wrong moment
to tell you

that I love you
for the first time?

Not quite the first.

You talk in your sleep.

(both chuckle)

Okay, stay out of sight
till I lead them away.

I love you, too.

Fan out!

I see a life sign!

On the ship.
Take them alive.

Any response from Booker's ship

-or Discovery?
-No, sir.

There's a transport jammer
of some kind on Discovery.

What's the Viridian doing?

WILLA:
Nothing yet, sir.

Just sitting out there
beyond our shields.

Why would Osyraa
come by herself, just her ship?

She knows part of our fleet
is at Kam...

All vessels, weapons hot.

Prepare to fire on Discovery
on my command.

Sir?

-Osyraa.
-(alarm ringing)

She's not on the Viridian.
She's on Discovery.

And we just let her
in the front door.

REGULATOR:
You two, back it up.

No talking.

(door whooshes open)

If this one gives you
any trouble,

you keep him alive

but make him wish otherwise.

REGULATOR 2:
Yes, sir.

(groans)

(grunts)

Till the next time.

Looking forward to it,
sweetheart.

(both chuckle)

-Come on.
-(door whooshes open)

-Hey.
-Let's go.

(exhales)

(mouths)

REGULATOR:
On our way to Sector 4.

AVRYZ:
Be right there. Just...

-VANCE: Put the fleet

-We should expect retaliation.
-TEEMO: Aye, sir.

All ships in position, Admiral.

Prepare to fire on my mark.

Sir, a message from Discovery.

Osyraa?

-Hold fire.
-MAN: Standing by.

(indistinct chatter)

Put her through.

This is Minister Osyraa
of the Emerald Chain.

This is Admiral Vance of the
United Federation of Planets.

Surrender
or prepare to be fired upon.

I assure you that there is
no need for any of that.

I apologize that I arrived
under such pretenses.

What do you want?

I'm here to talk.

Where is Discovery's crew?

Oh, they're boarding shuttles
as we speak.

I'm holding on
to your bridge crew,

but the others should be
with you shortly.

Remove your jammer,
and I'll beam them over myself.

That's a security allowance
I am not prepared to make.

But you will find them all
in excellent health,

a good-faith gesture on my part.

A good-faith gesture would be
to let everyone go.

(chuckles softly)
Now, Admiral,

we both know
that I need some leverage.

But...

if things go well--
and I hope they do--

then you will have them
all back in no time.

I look forward
to hearing from you.

Shuttle on its way

ZAREH:
Regulator Team 3,

report to the bridge,

Osyraa has left the ship,

is heading
to Federation Headquarters.

All others...

(exhales)

(whispering): Commander
Michael Burnham broadcasting

on a secure sub-relay.
(inhales, exhales)

Communication code
Alpha-Uniform-996.

Message to Gabrielle Burnham.

Mayday.

Emerald Chain
has hijacked Discovery

and infiltrated
Federation Headquarters.

Mayday.

Mom, they have taken over
all of our systems.

The way things are going...

...I might not see you again,

until another distant future.

Maybe Dad will be there.

I love you.

ZAREH:
Regulator Team 1,
report to Deck 10.

Regular Team 2, send an
extra body over to Engineering.

Invigilator Aurellio wants
to take the neural lock

-off his subject.
-Mm.

All right.

Here we go, Paul.

(groans softly)

(exhales)

(grunts)

Welcome
to Federation Headquarters.

Where's your president?

Since this is
a security situation,

the president has authorized me
to negotiate with you

for the release of Discovery
and its crew.

Is that satisfactory to you?

Whatever gets the job done.

Initiation of hostilities
by Starfleet officers

will not be tolerated.

But should our visitors decide
to initiate hostilities,

you have permission
to respond with force.

Is that clear?

Aye, sir.

Shall we?

Lead the way.

(groaning)

You think we don't know
you're sending messages?

Osyraa said we're not
to be harmed, so...

You don't want to get
on her bad side, do you?

No talking.

OWOSEKUN:
Come on.

You two will get us killed.

What, you worried
about them or you?

-They're being juvenile.
-I'm not dying in here
because they're bored.

-Shut up! All of you!
-Don't think Osyraa
would really like that.

-RHYS: ...right now.
-And stop!

(grunting)

(panting)

What the hell was that tapping?

Morse code.

Year one.
Starfleet Academy.

What were you saying?

I was telling him
to keep tapping.

(chuckles)
Well-played, all of you.

-TILLY: Computer.
-CHAIN COMPUTER: Access denied.

Osyraa will have taken over the
whole operating system by now.

-Could you hack into it?
-I can try.

Michael's out there
on her own right now.

-We've got to do better
than try.
-TILLY: Use this.

-She's not with Dr. Culber
and the captain?
-They're still in the nebula.

Dr. Culber said they wouldn't
survive past four hours.

Adira took radiation tablets.
Bought them some time.

Wait, Adira's down there, too?

We got to jump right there
once we take back the ship.

Bryce, can you monitor comms?

-On it.
-Okay.

Owo, Detmer, Rhys,
try to get that back door open.

It leads to a maintenance shaft.

And the rest of us
are gonna start barricading

the turbolift doors.

Next regulator
who tries to step through

is gonna lose a head.

OSYRAA:
What's with the holo?

And why is he staring at me
so intently?

VANCE:
It's de rigueur
during negotiations

to use a biometric
lie detector system.

Even among allies.

Where's the fun in that?

Nobody seemed to like it when
a red light would just go off,

so we gave it a face.

Hmm.

A human face, of course.

Is that a problem?

I'll get over it.

I certainly do not intend
to lie.

She does not.

Still, it's hard to begin
a productive conversation

when I haven't been able
to speak

to the officers on board
my ship.

-Um, lie detector thingy...
-Eli.

(chuckles)

Eli,

the bridge crew
of the Discovery are safe,

and my crew have been given
orders not to harm them.

Aside from a few scratches
and bruised egos,

everyone is fine.

Bruised egos.

Well...
(chuckles)

it was so easy to take the ship,

I almost thought
that it was a trap at first.

Then I realized
Captain Saru wasn't on board,

just an ensign with the conn.

Did you send Saru to Kaminar?

You said you wanted to talk.
Let's talk.

What do you want?

I want peace.

I want the Emerald Chain
to unite with the Federation.

Well, you're gonna have
to expand on that one.

Every empire falls.

It would be foolish to think
that we can remain

where we once were
when we're out of dilithium.

I'm sure that Ryn has already
told you of our scarcity.

He has.

You have a spore drive
that you cannot replicate.

I have the most well-funded
scientific institutions

in the known galaxy.

There is a deal to be made here.

You already have Discovery
under your control.

Why bring us into it at all?

Because the Federation,

despite its failures
since the Burn,

is still a symbol of hope.

The Chain, despite our efforts
and our advances,

has never experienced
such privilege.

If we combine
the best of what we are...

You really think
this could work?

You're a chain of planets.

We are a federation
of mercantile exchanges.

We need to focus on doing what
is for the good of our people.

At the end of the day,
they are what this is all about.

You're proposing...

a new Federation.

(quietly):
Yeah.

Tell Starfleet to back
the hell off. We're not stupid.

I can see their vessels
getting closer.

-KANAK: Zareh?
-Yeah.

We have a free agent aboard.

Sensors show
no unexpected life signs.

They must be using some kind
of concealment device.

We're missing a comms badge--
Regulator I.D. Theta 431.

ZAREH:
Pulling up ship's

schematics now.

Hello, Theta 431.

They're in a Jefferies tube,
Deck 5.

(sighs)

Backup's on the way.

If you get in at sections
five, seven, nine,

ten and 12, they'll be trapped.

I'm gonna remove
the neural locks.

There's no need for
such things among scientists.

It makes it hard for me
to ask you questions.

(opera playing)

-Please do be cooperative.
-(groans softly)

♪ ♪

This is, um...

Andorian opera, isn't it?

(chuckles softly)
Good ear.

Andorians have the best singers.

Their antennae
increase resonance.

This particular soprano was
discovered on the street corner.

If you hear her live,
in the right hall,

you can hear four layers
of overtones.

I would love to experience that.

Well, someday you shall.

A scientist of your talent,

I'm sure Osyraa will want you
at the science institute.

Do your children like opera?

My...?

The, uh, piercings
behind your ear.

To bless the arrival of a child.

I'm guessing
your partner is Orion?

(chuckles softly)

Hurt like hell, but I never
thought I'd have children,

so how could I say no?

Children are a blessing.

I have one myself.

Oh. Congratulations.

And I'm very concerned
about them.

And my partner.

You communicate with the spores.

That's how you navigate
the mycelial network, isn't it?

His name is Hugh.

He's still inside
the Verubin Nebula.

You must know about
the radiation levels in there.

I haven't seen any devices

that would augment a human
to mycelium connection,

and you're not an empath,
so it must be

the Tardigrade DNA
in your system.

The Tardigrade DNA
that fused with my DNA was

from a species
that is long extinct.

I've tried to replicate it,
but it's been corrupted.

You'll probably have
to kill me to extract it.

Mr. Stamets, I can assure you,
we have other methods now.

And if those methods don't work?

Ah.

We will grow
the Tardigrade cells.

Fidelity is always the issue
with replication.

Growth marries the fidelity
of a copy

with the vitality
of new beginnings.

(laughs)
You'll see, Mr. Stamets.

We will grow
the Tardigrade cells.

I'm guessing right about now

you're getting

Why not make it easy?

I promise you

Regulator 665, confirm.

We are receiving negative...

(grunts, pants)

Hey, Zareh.

-(gasping)
-Yes.

You're gonna need
more regulators.

-Oh.
-Yes.
-(laughter)

Who's ready
to get the hell out of here?

-Yeah!
-TILLY: Yes!

(grunts)

(clacking on floor)

Hmm.

It doesn't quite taste
like the real thing, does it?

I've never eaten a real apple.

Well, how sad.

Apples are a thing of beauty.

You want to talk
about oppression,

you should start
in your own mess hall.

It's made of our shit, you know.

That's the base material
that we use in our replicators.

We deconstruct it
to the atomic level

and then reform the atoms.

It's pretty good for shit,

and we don't have
to commit atrocities for it.

Well, you're not being
very diplomatic.

And you're wasting my time.

Are we negotiating or not?

Fine.

If the Chain is to unite
with the Federation,

you need to send the message

that our culture is
fundamentally valid and ethical.

And how are we supposed
to do that?

By acknowledging that capitalism
is already happening

within the Federation.

When was the last time
anyone from around here

visited Deep Space 253?

-A while.
-87 years.

-Not by choice.
-It's way the hell out there.

But DS253 has been trading

with an Emerald Chain mercantile
for nearly a century.

You need
to sanction that trade,

and you need
to permit the Chain

to establish an embassy
on the station.

That will send
a very powerful message.

Your mercantile exchanges--

they traffic in goods
that are used for enslavement.

Some still have
open slave markets.

And I have already
submitted a charter amendment

to our congress
outlawing slavery.

And it has enough support
to pass.

I had to spend a lot
of political capital,

but it has the support
of regular citizens.

In order for me
to sell it to the president,

you'd gonna need to step away
from the influence

you're exerting on Kwejian

and the other 50 pre-warp
planets you've targeted.

You're asking
very powerful people

to give up huge amounts
of income.

Why don't you explain it to them

by hijacking one
of their ships,

kidnapping its crew,
and using it

to break through
their shields?

-Admiral?
-Minister Osyraa.

(Willa whispering)

-VANCE: Thank you.
-(whirring)

VANCE:
Some of your regulators
decided to go

for a space walk
without their EV suits.

Maybe we should
move things along.

-What's this?
-This is an armistice

with terms that your president
can sign off on.

The Emerald Chain will desist
from any so-called

"Prime Directive violations"
moving forward.

And I commit to a 15-year,
systematic walk-back

from Kwejian and any
other worlds like it.

Anything less, and you are
buying chaos, and you know it.

I'm gonna need a moment
to read this.

Be my guest.

RYN:
I can't block your life signs,

but I can scramble 'em.

The minute you get those
doors open, I'll initiate.

Sensors will display
every life sign

that's been in this ship
in the last three months.

So it'll look like there are
thousands of us on board.

Should let you get lost
in the noise, move freely...

-for a little while.
-We'll have to move fast.

-I'll hold 'em off
as long as I can.
-I'll help.

What? What? No, no, no,
you can't. You can't!

Listen, hey, listen.
I know that Osyraa

took Discovery on my watch,
but I do have a plan.

I'm not staying
'cause I don't trust you.

I'm staying
because you're the best chance

for Michael
to make it out of here alive.

ZAREH:
Someone check on the hostages

and Team 8.
They're not responding.

On my mark.

Three, two,

one, go.

What the hell?!

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

-Thank you.
-Good luck.

ZAREH:
Code alpha five.

All regulators,
code alpha five.

-Something's wrong.
-Well, the regulators
are well trained.

They will... get it sorted.

She's hijacked the ship.
You know this, don't you?

We will return the ship as soon
as our work here is done.

She's taken hostages.

I'm a hostage!

Osyraa is negotiating a way

to bring the spore drive
to the entire galaxy.

You may not like her methods,

but she's more than
you're making her out to be.

Look at me, Mr. Stamets.

I should not be here.

Maybe in your time,
when technology was free

and travel was easy,
but here in my time,

with a genetic defect?

My parents worked
at the exchange.

They asked Osyraa
for a meeting.

She did not have to say yes,
but she did.

I was ten.
I didn't have much time left.

But she saw potential in me.

And now...

I am a scientist,
I have a family.

And I have been supported

in a life dedicated
to the pursuit of knowledge.

She has given me everything.

And not just me.

I've also seen evidence
of the science she supports.

A pesticide on Kwejian.

Yes. That-that is
a perfect example.

I was the junior scientist
when they perfected that.

We have transformed
entire planets.

She forced Kwejian
to participate in the extinction

of one of their species
to get that pesticide.

(chuckles):
Well...

that must be an overstatement.

She threatened them with famine.

The death of millions.
Children.

I...

My friend Michael barely escaped
one of her labor camps.

I believe you
when you say that she's...

more than she appears to be.

But she is also...

exactly what she appears to be.

(Burnham panting)

-Michael...
-I only stunned him.

We need to move fast.

(phaser whirs)

-ZAREH: Status report.
-REGULATOR: At the door.

Nearly through, sir.

-It's not too late
for you to go.
-And miss all the fun?

Seriously, Ryn.

No. Michael's doing something.

You're doing something.
They are...

I can't just sit around
and hope anymore.

I have to do this.

-REGULATOR: I'm going in.
-ZAREH: I want them alive.

We got this.

(yells)

REGULATOR:
We need backup.

BURNHAM:
Let's go, Paul. We have to move.

STAMETS:
No. I'm not going.

Paul!

We have to jump back now.

He's in the nebula,
and so is Saru.

We have to get you
off this ship.

They'll die.

I know.

I already lost him once.

I can't go through that again.

And Adira,
what would I tell them?

Adira is with them.

No.

No, no, no, no, no...

-Hey.
-Let go of me.

I can't do that.

-Let me go!
-No...

Paul!

My whole life is
in that nebula!

(gasps)

(crying):
I know.

Who's he modeled after?

Um... no one.

It's, uh, computer-generated.

Hmm. Totally blank canvas, huh?

Nothing that would cause
any offense or alarm.

Do you ever think
about what it costs you,

all this abstraction?

Lying causes a physiological
change in a face.

So why don't you
just pick someone

who is known to tell the truth?

Make it real,
as opposed to an idea.

This armistice...

it's very impressive.

You've made a lot
of concessions.

I told you,
I came to make a deal.

There's one more thing.

Ask. I'm in a charitable mood.

Who's going to be
the face of this?

In official Federation matters,

who is actually going
to represent the Chain?

Yeah, I see
what you're getting at.

Can't be me,
'cause of my reputation.

Well, I would appoint
someone appropriate.

A well-respected scientist,
perhaps.

And that person
won't just be a proxy for you?

Of course not.

-That is not the truth.
-Oh!

He glitched.

Ask me again.

For this armistice
to be worth anything,

then the person
representing the Chain

has to be proven credible.

And the only way that
that can happen

is if he or she functions

completely independently of you.

And tries you for your crimes.

Excuse me?

They're well documented.

You've never stood trial,

because no one's been able
to compel the Chain.

You're staring at the past.

I just drew you a real map
to the future.

The past is the only light with
which we can see the future.

Your willingness to do this

will send a message,
and I promise you

I will not let anyone
forget that.

It's just more abstractions.

The past cannot be undone.

But it could be made right.

We all had to make hard choices
because of the Burn.

Spare me your judgment.

Osyraa, I want peace.

-(exhales)
-I want the Federation

to join the Chain,
and I want to learn

from your great society.

The Burn has left us
with a legacy of...

of fear, of isolation...

of scarcity that still clouds
our moral clarity,

a clarity that I fight for
on a daily basis

and I ask my people to die for.

So if that's the reason that
we can't reach an accord today,

well... I can live with that.

You're making a mistake.

Osyraa, your people are good.

I beg you to be
as good as they are.

I can promise you justice.

Oh, I can promise you the same.

You have us. Now what?

Now you get to explain
yourselves to Osyraa.

We failed you, Osyraa.

You're a scientist.

You, however...

you were brought in
to secure the ship.

You lost our hostages

and the key to making
the spore drive work.

Everyone is still on board.

Where are they?

He hacked into the system
and messed with the sensors.

Give me five minutes,
I'll get him to reverse it.

Airlocks are the only way
off this ship.

Seal them all
and check them all.

And if you don't have better
news for me in ten minutes,

I will shove you out
of one of them myself.

Aurellio.

It's probably best for you
to leave the bridge now.

I need to get my sensors
back online.

Osyraa, there is...

no need for violence.

I know this is something
that you don't see every day,

but it is how we make progress.

And it is not always pleasant.

Now, it's up to you
if you want to stay.

Okay, then.

Ryn.

Fix my sensors.

No.

Now is not the moment for you
to develop a spine.

I'm not afraid of you anymore.

I've seen real bravery,
real strength and loyalty.

And love.

You're nothing compared to that.

All you have is fear...

and no one is feared forever.

Who needs forever?

-(weapon whirs)
-Wait!

Wait.

I know where you
can find dilithium.

More than the entire Chain
can use in a hundred lifetimes.

OSYRAA:
Let me guess.

It's in the Verubin Nebula,
and that's where Saru is.

Yeah, but the nebula is massive.

And dangerous.

I know exactly how to get you in
and out safely.

Just let Ryn and the crew go.

Please.

(weapon whirs)

(gasps)

(shuddering)

-BOOK: Why...
-OSYRAA: Aurellio.

Truth serum.

Let's make sure
Kwejian doesn't lie to me.

-Osyraa, please...
-Do it!

Tell the Viridian to start
firing on exterior shields.

I'd like to get the hell
out of here.

What are you...

It's an emergency escape field.

I'm turning on

Fed HQ will see you

you're missing.

Michael, they're my whole life.

Look at me.

They'll die a terrible,
painful death!

Damn it, Michael, look at me!

Osyraa will destroy what is left
of the Federation.

And she's gonna use you
to do it.

No, no, no, we-we have time.

Right now, you and me, let's go.
We have time.

What are you doing?

No.

No. We came
to the future for you.

We followed you!

Hugh followed you!

We gave up everything so you
wouldn't have to be here alone!

How can you do this?!

I'm sorry.

Shall we take back the ship?
