STAR TREK: Discovery...

- Section 31?
- Shes tracking a suspected murderer.

Mr. Spock is one of mine.

I think there may be
a connection between Spock

and the signals
around the universe.

AMANDA: Spock drew those images.

What is it?

AMANDA: He called it the Red Angel.

That vision changed him forever.

Ive seen this angel, too.

STAMETS: I watched Tyler kill you.

I held your body.

BURNHAM: He is alive.

STAMETS: Were getting you out of here.

(LOW RUMBLING)

DETMER: Something has grabbed us
out of warp, sir.

Were locked into place.

Some kind of a life-form?

It must need something.

Its trying to send us a message.

Because it wants
to be remembered, preserve

- its history using
- Discovery.

Its final act was to save us.

We have recorded everything

it has seen and experienced.

SARU: The Sphere is triggering
the Kelpien biological

process known as

Vaharai.

Signals when Kelpiens are

ready for slaughter by the Baul,

the predator species

on my homeworld of Kaminar.

You are the only one
who knows me.

You replaced the sister I had
on Kaminar.

POLLARD: Your vital signs
have returned to normal.

I have never felt
this way before.

Fear is gone.

What my people have accepted
as the truth is a lie?

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

SARU: We all come from somewhere.

We carry that place with us
wherever we go.

That never leaves our hearts.

Not entirely.

Hows it going in here?

TILLY: Oh, my... well,

without Airiam, we
would have spent months

trying to sort through
the Spheres data.

SARU: But none of us can predict...

Okay, look at this.
This is incredible.

Where our voyage will lead.

The data collection of
the Sphere isnt random.

Oh, no, its not random at all.

Its actually an impossibly
sophisticated repository

of... like, a slice
of the galaxys history.

Its like this delicious slice
of galaxy pie.

SARU: We may suffer losses
along the way,

but we can hope to learn and
grow from those experiences.

And from those who accompany us

on our journey.

It is almost inconceivable

to have you back
with us, Dr. Culber.

Inconceivable, yeah.

There isnt a test or a, a scan
Dr. Pollard hasnt run on me.

Well, you appear yourself.

Well, I dont feel like myself.

Enduring something no
one thought possible

can be transformative.

Perhaps,

perhaps, in feeling
less like you were,

you are more like who
you were meant to become.

Commander Saru?

Your results.

The most evident anatomical
change from the Kelpien advent

- of your
- Vahar...

- Vaharai.
- Thank you.

With the loss of
your threat ganglia,

the cartilage that housed it
is reorganizing to accommodate

a new type of
keratin-based tissue.

It looks like spikes
growing in like teeth.

Does that sound right?

I would not know.

Did you discover anything that
might affect me psychologically?

These are your neurotransmitter
expression patterns,

last year versus today.

With you as
my only Kelpien specimen...

Forgive the term...
Its difficult to say

with certainty
what these changes mean.

But if I had to guess,

Id say your fear responses
are being repressed.

SARU: What is a Kelpien without fear?

I am losing the very thing
that defines me.

I am stumbling in the dark.

And yet I cannot help but feel

that somewhere
within the unknown,

there is purpose.

And that we are being
guided toward it.

TYLER: Its Section 31s position

that if the entity
were calling the Red Angel

is in fact generating
these signals,

its also capable
of time incursions.

And should be
considered dangerous.

- So far, these signals have led the
- Discovery

On two rescue missions.

Or two catastrophic events.

Does the Angel merely appear
at these crisis points,

or is it creating them?

We have to consider
both options.

So lets consider.

The Red Angel appeared on Earth
and transported people

to Terralysium
only moments before

they would have died
in a nuclear blast.

It also guided Spock
to rescue me when I was

- a child on Vulcan.
- TYLER: Ive seen the drawings

From Spocks time
in the psychiatric unit.

Look, can either of you
say for sure

this thing didnt cause
his nervous breakdown?

Spock made no mention
of the Red Angel

- when he asked for leave from the
- Enterprise.

But Agent Tylers
correct, Captain.

With so few data points,
it is impossible

to draw conclusions based
on its nature and motivations.

We need more information.

What we need is Spock.

TYLER: Captain Leland
has devoted significant

Section 31 resources
to finding him.

But were coming up empty-handed.

As his sister,
can you think of anywhere

Spock might have gone?

Someplace we might not
have thought to look?

SARU: (OVER COMM)
Captain,

- you are needed on the bridge.
- What is it?

We have detected a new signal.

Where is it this time?

Outside of Federation space.

Ah.

OWOSEKUN: Acquiring coordinates.

On screen.

We have a lock, sir.

The signal is over
an M-class planet.

- Its listed in the Federation database as...
- Kaminar.

Commander Saru, thats...

Yes.

Kaminar is my homeworld.

original

Star Trek

(THEME PLAYS)

Kaminar is populated
by two sentient species:

my people... the Kelpiens...
And the Baul.

The Baul are your predators.

The Baul achieved warp
capability 20 years ago.

The USS

Archimedes

made first contact with them

after receiving
a transmission from Kaminar.

But once communication
was established,

the Baul High Council
proved hostile.

TYLER: So why did the Baul send

a transmission
in the first place?

They...

did not.

That transmission was from me.

I coopted the Bauls technology

in order to send a message,
with the hope

that someone, somewhere,
would receive it.

And that someone
was Captain Georgiou.

SARU: She was a lieutenant then,

serving on the

Archimedes.

Were it not for her,
I would have been unable

to flee Kaminar
or be granted asylum.

I promised never to return.

That was the price of knowledge.

PIKE: And now,
of the billions of planets

in our galaxy, the
signal just happens

to show up above the homeworld
of my first officer.

What are the odds?

It certainly isnt random.

- Discoverys - taken a serious
interest in the Red Angel.

Could be
its returning the favor.

TYLER: Thats a leap.
Commander Saru,

are there angels
of any sort in Kelpien culture?

Kelpiens believe only
in the Great Balance,

which, if upset, would devastate

the fragile ecosystem
of our planet.

And we are taught that the Baul
are the keepers of this balance.

Do the Kelpiens worship
the Baul?

It is their superior technology,
of which Kelpiens live in awe,

that allows the Baul mastery
over my people.

They hide behind it.

No Kelpien has even seen
a Baul in living memory.

BURNHAM: It is the same technology

they use to keep
Starfleet at arms length.

So we shouldnt expect
a warm welcome.

The Baul are, by nature,
isolationist.

And theyre committed
to preserving

- the status quo on Kaminar.
- TYLER: Well, they must have seen

- The signal, too.
- Maybe they wouldnt mind an offer to share information.

Depending on
how theyre approached.

Well, lets knock on the front
door and see if they answer.

And then what? Just ask nicely?

Well, as unexpected guests,
it never hurts to be polite.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN: Prepare to disengage
warp power.

DETMER: Sir, stopping out of
warp above Kaminar.

The signal disappeared

before we arrived.

What else is new?

Mr. Bryce, hail the Baul
on all channels.

Commander Burnham, run planetary
and full-spectrum scans

on anything resembling
our elusive angel.

And any power source capable
of generating these signals.

The Baul are not
responding, sir.

Thats not entirely true, sir.

Theyre scanning
our weapons systems.

Just our weapons systems.

- So much for knocking on the front door.
- PIKE: Maybe the Baul just

Havent learned the importance
of a good first impression.

- Burnham?
- I see no indication the Red Angel was here.

- Or any immediate danger to the planet.
- Then why are we here? Anybody?

Youre assuming the signals
only appear for a reason.

Yes, Mr. Tyler, thats
exactly what Im assuming.

Why wont the Baul respond?

SARU: Perhaps,

as I have said, it is
because they are oppressors.

And even had the Baul
answered our hails,

why would you trust those
who have enslaved my people

for centuries
with fear and lies?

PIKE: Your insights
are invaluable,

Mr. Saru.

But the signal appeared here.

And maybe the Red Angel, too.

If you have any idea how I could
make inquiries without...

There is a Kelpien priest
in every village.

Priests not only serve
as intermediaries

between us and the Baul,
but they also connect

all of our extended
communities together.

So if the Red Angel
appeared on Kaminar,

then a priest might be able
to tell us about it.

- Wouldnt that be a violation of General Order 1?
- BURNHAM: Though the Kelpiens

Arent warp capable, theyve
seen warp-capable technology

through the Baul,

and they know about spaceflight.

First contact with the Kelpiens
by Starfleet

is a judgment call,

but our mission
to investigate these signals

would seem to require it.

We can stretch General Order 1,

but lets try not to break it
in the process.

Burnham,

as a xenoanthropologist,

I think youre uniquely qualified

to talk to a village priest.

SARU: Sir,

I am the logical choice.

I offer my experience.

To disregard it
is to disregard the suffering

of generations of Kelpiens.

PIKE: Given all that suffering,

youre the most
complicated choice.

Do you doubt my ability
to carry out the mission?

PIKE: Of course not.

But at present, we lack
a full understanding

of the biological...

and behavioral changes
youre undergoing.

I can assure you, Captain,
I am still very much myself.

I can only imagine the pressure
you might feel to share

- the truth with your people about
- Vaharai.

Are you suggesting
that I might be incapable

of following Starfleet
regulations?

Or that I would
disobey your orders?

Captain.

Kelpiens have no knowledge
of Starfleet

or any other inhabited worlds.

Even though General Order 1
allows contact,

my arrival could come as
a complete shock to them.

Commander Saru would be
invaluable to have by my side.

All right.

But Ill remind you both, were
here to gather information

about the signals
and the Red Angel,

not start a war between
the Kelpiens and the Baul.

Mr. Saru?

My duty, first and foremost,
is to

Discoverys

mission, sir.

I never doubt that.

Start in your own village.

Maybe theyll be glad to see you.

CULBER: So, uh,

what did the scan say?

Read em yourself.

All normal.

Youre you.

POLLARD: Yes and no.

Brain patterns and neural
impulses are identical,

but this body

was entirely reconstituted
from your DNA.

Its brand-new down to the
last molecule. You are,

for lack of a better word,
pristine.

My scar, its gone.

STAMETS: It is?

I hadnt noticed that.

What scar?

Oh, the scar he chose to keep.

You never told her the story?

He was hiking the cliffs
of Cabo Rojo, alone.

I was 16...

STAMETS: And apparently indestructible.

The path he was on gave way,

and he fell 30 meters.

15, actually.

Well, enough to puncture
your shoulder.

He wouldve bled out, too,

if it werent for a
certain Dr. Kashkooli,

who was half a
kilometer behind him.

She risked her own life
to climb down and help him.

She stitched his wound up
with a fishing line.

Gave him a very

sexy scar

and inspired him to go
to medical school

and become the man he is today.

It is weird not
seeing it on you.

So, um...

i-if my senses feel
a little off, its...

Its because your new nervous
system is still adjusting.

Id like to continue
monitoring you, but I believe

youre ready to resume
your normal life soon.

(ANIMALS CHITTERING)

That pylon.

It isnt Kelpien, is it?

No.

The Baul have erected one
in each village to observe us.

It has earned them a fitting
name among my people:

the Watchful Eye.

This pylon is connected
to an incredibly vast network.

Must have taken
the Baul generations

to integrate their
technology and ideology

into Kelpien society.

Our two species have become
so intertwined that,

outside their technology,

it is difficult to
discern what is purely us

and what is distinctly them.

Where is everyone?

The days work is done.

It will soon be nightfall.

Kelpiens rarely venture
out in the dark.

(SIGHS)

I led this life once.

If I didnt know
your people were oppressed,

Id think Kaminar was a paradise.

Well, in many ways, it is.

We live in harmony
with each other,

in a world without
hunger or poverty.

The only violence we
know is the culling,

which Kelpiens have
been misled to accept

as a mercy by the Baul.

And our priests
sustain that belief.

Didnt you say
your father was a priest?

Yes, he was a collaborator,

albeit an unwitting one,

enforcing the grip
the Baul had on my people.

Saru...

For 18 years,

I dreamt of returning
to my village.

It has not changed at all.

But I see it...

quite differently now.

(BEEPING)

(WHIRRING)

These are the same flowers
from your quarters.

Fredalia, yes.

They do not grow quite
so well on a starship.

Brother?

Siranna!

Saru!

Youre alive.

Oh, but how?

We thought you were dead.

Taken by the Watchful Eye
for questions

you should not have asked.

Oh...

Where have you been
all this time?

Siranna, 18 years ago,

I thought I could find
my future in the stars,

and I did. Uh...

(GASPS)
I was welcomed

by an interstellar service
called Starfleet,

committed to peace and the
exploration of our galaxy.

An organization far more
powerful than the Baul.

I found a new life.

What are you?

Im human. My name is Michael.

I come from a planet
called Earth,

- and I work with your brother
on the starship - D iscovery.

How is it that we can
understand one another?

This device.

Its able to translate
over a thousand languages.

You mean to say there are
a thousand life-forms out there?

Oh, not just a thousand...
Hundreds of thousands.

So different and yet...

The galaxy?

Space travel?

Do humans from Earth drink tea?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, how I have missed
the fredalia tea of home.

We were blessed with
a bountiful harvest this year.

Oh, you sound just like Father.

Where is he?

Father reached his

Vaharai
and joined the Great Balance

not long after you... left us.

How could you?

And never even let us know
that you were still alive?

I thought it would be safer
for you to believe I was dead.

Safer?

We believed you had outraged
the Watchful Eye.

We spent years in agony,
fearing retribution.

I dreamed of our
reunion, brother.

I could not be
more sorry, Siranna.

This is a longer conversation.

But I sense that is not
the reason you are here.

I...

Were looking for an entity

that we call the Red Angel.

We have reason to believe that
it appeared here on Kaminar.

Is it another life-form?

We do not yet know what it is,
only that it appears

in conjunction with a red burst
of light in the sky

and in places of crisis.

The fiery sign... I saw it.

Have you seen or heard anything
that might be this Red Angel?

Maybe from the priests

in the other villages?

This is why you have returned?

I should have known
you did not come back for me.

Siranna, I ask you to...

You ran away because you were

not brave enough to face the
Balance as the rest of us do.

(RUMBLING)

(DEEP BELLOWING)

Whats happening?

The Baul.

They must have observed
your return.

Once again you disturb
the Great Balance

and put our village in danger.

You must leave now!

We wont be safe
until youre gone.

Siranna, this might be the last
time we ever see each other.

Return to the stars, Saru.
There is no place for you here.

(DEEP BELLOWING)

SARU: Theyre coming.

COMPUTER: Yellow alert.

Commander Saru,
Commander Burnham,

please report to the bridge.

(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER P.A.)

Whatever you did,
the Baul are hailing us now.

Im going to guess its not
to invite us to a welcome party.

BRYCE: Communication channel
established.

Its audio-only.

Mr. Saru, I think
it would be best

if you stay out
of this conversation.

- This is Captain Christopher
Pike of the USS - D iscovery...

BAUL: You have taken
what belongs to us.

What have we taken, exactly?

A Kelpien.

Starfleet promised

that it would not meddle in the
internal affairs of our planet.

Were investigating the signal
that appeared over your planet,

which Im sure you noticed.

These signals are typically
followed by the arrival

of an entity we call
the Red Angel.

Are you familiar with it?

The Red Angel may pose a threat
to Kaminars Great Balance.

Our mutual interest lies only

in keeping the peace,
which we all...

No one is safer
than under the Watchful Eye.

Return the Kelpien to us,

and we will allow you
to leave without harm.

I am not yours to be returned!

Mr. Saru.

I am brother

to Siranna, who lives
a life of oppression.

I am son of Aradar,

who died needlessly
at your hands.

The Kelpien speaks.

I am Commander Saru,

the first and only Kelpien
to join Starfleet,

and I know the truth about

Vaharai.

The Great Balance is
the only truth,

and it must not be disturbed.

Your lies no longer work on me.

I survived myVaharai

and I know that
it means not death

but evolution, an evolution you
murder my people to suppress.

Commander...

You think you know everything,
Kelpien,

but you do not even know
what you are.

ten Baul sentry ships
on an intercept course.

But youre not

This is the only way.

Would you not do the same

Sir, someone is beaming down

What? Who is it?

BURNHAM: Burnham to the bridge.

Hes surrendering himself.

Damn it.

Captain, the sentry ships are

Ops, track Sarus signal.

A Baul ship has taken him.

Theyre traveling toward...
Ive lost the signal, sir.

Hes gone.

Well, with 100,000 years worth
of data,

there has to be some information
about Kaminar

- in the Spheres archive.
- Well, what precisely are we looking for?

When the Baul learned that Saru

- had survived his
- Vaharai,

Their determination
to capture him increased.

It was as if his continued
existence threatened them.

You think the Baul
are hiding something?

I think they know
more about the changes

- brought on by
- Vaharai than the Kelpiens do.

And I think theyre willing to do

almost anything
to keep that secret.

Will they kill Saru?

Not if we can find out
what theyre hiding in time.

And there has to be something
in the Spheres archive.

There has to be.

Well, thats what
Airiam and I are here for.

We will find it.

There it is.

When I said "we,"
I just meant Airiam.

The Sphere did collect
readings from Kaminar.

Thousands of years worth
of statistical measurements.

Transfer it over
to this station, please.

And when Saru challenged
the Baul, they said,

"You do not even know

Why did you have to return?

Everyone else

But the night you disappeared,

I saw the light
rising into the sky.

I became a priest

To seek you.

Your face is beautiful to me,

Yes, bio-signs were archived

Um, actually, I can use those
current readings of the Baul

to distinguish their bio-signs
from the Kelpiens.

Right, and we can
cross-reference

Sarus medical records

to isolate the

post-Vaharai

Kelpiens

historic bio-signs
from the rest of their species.

The Baul could only know about

- the evolutionary consequences of

If, at one time, they
experienced them.

Otherwise, why does it
threaten them?

Well, if we, uh,
go back 2,300 years, uh,

theres a significant portion

They survived

Vaharai?

The blue represents

green unevolved, red Baul.

Sorry, that...

The Baul narrowly escaped
extinction.

Then they turned around

and wiped out the

Your kind can never govern

The Federation has no idea

what they have welcomed
into their ranks.

They gave me the chance
stolen by the Baul.

Your species does not deserve
a second chance.

The Great Balance
is the only way to ensure

you do not destroy
everything in your path.

The Great Balance is a lie

you created
to defend yourselves from us,

and to absolve yourselves
of murder.

In truth, you are frail.

You would be helpless
without your technology.

We will never allow
the past to be repeated.

No threat to the Great Balance
will go unanswered.

You cannot maintain
what you think of as peace

by continuing to cull us.

Kelpiens are more

You are the only two Kelpiens

You will undergo analysis

The truth will be contained.

Wait!

It is true, then.

You have survived

Yes.
(GASPS)

I am what we used to become.

The form we were meant to take.

The Great Balance...

our sacrifice
to the Watchful Eye...

It was all a lie.

Forced upon us by the Baul.

That stole our mother and father
from us.

And generations of Kelpiens,
beyond reckoning.

And it must end.

The Baul used their
technological advantage

to lock the Kelpiens
into subservience,

allowing them to live

while eliminating the threat
they posed.

And thats why
the Baul are afraid.

Well, if we can
help them understand

that Saru is not a threat,

that his people
need not be a threat...

BRYCE: Sir, were receiving a hail...

from the Baul.

We should accept it.

(STATIC CRACKLING)

Discovery,
this is Commander Saru.

Its good to hear your voice,
Commander.

I am with Siranna,
inside a Baul structure.

But we have no other indicators

of our position.

We cant seem to get a lock
on your coordinates either.

Your location must be shielded
from our sensors.

Have you come in contact
with the Baul?

Yes. It was...

enlightening.

BURNHAM: Commander Saru,

we used the Spheres archives

to analyze your planets history,

and its far more complex
than we thought.

All evidence indicates that

Kelpiens, in

post-Vaharai

form,

were once the Bauls predators.

That confirms my suspicions.

And the Bauls belief that,

- after passing
- Vaharai,

My people can only be predators.

They will do anything
to continue the culling.

And to keep more Kelpiens
from learning the truth.

It will not be easy
to convince my people

the Great Balance
is a deception,

but we must find
a way to save them.

Thousands of years
of conditioning

will take time to undo.

SARU: But Siranna is right.

We must demonstrate to Kelpiens

and Baul alike
what we could become.

The same way I was shown.

TILLY: The Sphere.

- The Sphere triggered your
- Vaharai.

Yes, but we need to
accelerate the process.

We cannot allow the Baul

to take action before

Vaharai
is complete for all Kelpiens.

If we isolate
the active frequencies

in the Spheres transmission,
the corresponding sound wave

- should speed up the biological response, right?
- I got it.

SARU: And the Baul
will have no choice

but to face our evolved race.

What if history repeats itself?

We cant be responsible for the
extinction of the Baul species.

But the Baul are still vastly
technologically superior.

It would take the
Kelpiens generations

to become a serious threat.

Generations during which
the Baul could face

the thing they fear
most about us.

Not our so-called
baser instincts.

Our rage.

But we will prove to them
that we can move beyond it.

We will not perpetuate
the cycle.

We will create

a new balance.

Captain, I cannot prove it,

but I believe this is what the
signal brought us here to do.

Very well, Commander.

Discovery

will help you
amplify the signal.

BURNHAM: How will we broadcast
the Spheres transmission

to all the Kelpiens at once?

The same way I made
first contact

with Captain Georgiou.

By using the Bauls own
technology against them.

That should do the trick.

Commander Saru,
Im sending you the modified

Sphere transmissions now.

Once I do this,

- all Kelpiens, including you, will begin
- Vaharai.

Everything will change.

Im afraid itll be
much more painful,

like being torn
apart from within.

Just promise me, brother,

that this will not be
the end of our people.

No. It will be a new beginning.

Then let it begin.

(GRUNTS)

(ENERGY SURGING)

(HIGH-PITCHED WHINING)

(PAINED CRIES)

(SCREAMING)

- Bio-sign readings indicate that
- Vaharai

Has initiated in 63%
of Kelpiens and rising.

(SCREAMING)

(GASPING)

Im sorry.
It will be over soon.

(PAINED GASP)

(RUMBLING)

Sir, Im detecting
massive activity

beneath the surface of the lake.

On screen.

Theres a structure
rising above the water.

At least 50 kilometers
in diameter.

(THUNDEROUS RUMBLING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

A Baul stronghold.

Protected by a powerful
force field.

That might be where
theyre holding

Commander Saru and Siranna
captive.

Red alert. Rhys, target
that structures shields.

If we destroy them,
maybe we can get a lock on Saru

and his sisters location.

(BREATHING NORMALIZING)

You have survived.

(DEEP BELLOWING)

(WHIRRING)

We have angered the Baul.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

Owosekun, tell me
what Im looking at.

That Baul structure is
activating pylons

across the planet,

with an energy buildup
capable of destroying

every Kelpien village.

Rather than let them evolve,

the Baul are
committing genocide?

Bryce, hail these bastards.

Rhys, forget the stronghold.
Get a target lock

on those pylons.

- Theyre not responding, sir.
- Open a channel.

This is Captain Pike.
I will not allow you

to wipe out an entire race.

Your fear of the Kelpiens
has blinded you

to a peaceful solution.

Starfleet can help you
negotiate a new balance

between your two species,

protecting everyone
on your world.

However, if you choose

to murder the entire
Kelpien population...

you will become our enemies.

Choose wisely.

Sir, theyve activated
all 4,056 pylons

in every Kelpien village.

Lieutenant Rhys?

There are too many pylons
to target at once, sir.

Lets get started.

Arm photon torpedoes.

On my order.

(WHIRRING)

The Baul mean to kill us all!

- Discovery
- will stop them.

No, no!

(POWERING DOWN)

Sir, sensor readings indicate

a massive spike in
electromagnetic radiation

in the Baul structure.

The pulse has deactivated
all the pylons across Kaminar.

Rhys, hold your fire.

What the hell is happening?

The Baul weapons and shields
have all been disabled,

but I cant get a reading
on what caused it.

DETMER: The technology required
to generate

electric and magnetic fields
that wide...

This should be impossible.

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

That is what you came to find.

A savior.

(CHITTERING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Siranna, what has happened?

How have we survived

Vaharai?

The truth has survived.

It is time for a true balance
to be restored.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You do not have to
be afraid anymore.

MAN: (OVER P.A.)
Attention, all personnel...

(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

(DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN)

(DOOR WHOOSHES SHUT)

Whats this?

Commander Sarus report,

shared in the spirit
of cooperation.

Thanks to Commander Sarus
enhanced eyesight,

he was able to get a better look
at the Red Angel.

"The entity appears
to be a humanoid

"wearing a mechanized suit,

"exhibiting technology
far beyond

present Federation
capabilities."

So, its

someone.

And whether human or alien,

it has extremely
advanced technology.

Someone who is manipulating
the fates of entire species.

Control,

which models Section 31s
threat assessments,

is probably rightfully
alarmed by...

what is it? A...

a time-traveling being
pursuing its own agenda?

When we forced the Baul
to decentralize their power

across the entire planet,

the Red Angel took advantage
of their temporary exposure

and used its advanced technology

to save the Kelpiens
from genocide.

And what happens
when that technology

is turned against us?

Section 31...

and Controls
threat-assessment models...

seem a bit paranoid.

Youre aware were
no longer at war?

And we dont want to
end up in one again.

This last war, sir, took a toll

on those who fought it.

Some of us are still torn apart.

SARU: I felt the same way

the first time I saw it,

looking down on our
planet, our home.

Well, you took home with you.

Well, seeds of it, yes.

This little garden was
all I had for so many years.

But I realized

there was so much
more out there.

You could come with me, Siranna,

if you wanted to see it.

Just for a while.

No.

I must stay for my people.

There is a long road ahead,

Our minds must truly be free

before Kelpien and Baul
accept each other.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

But I am happy, brother.

I know you did not
leave Kaminar in fear,

but in hope.

And you brought that hope
back with you.

You and your Red Angel.

You are welcome to return home

whenever you would like,
brother.

I will, sister.

(GASPS)

(SIGHS)

Thank you, Michael.

Im reminded.
Do you know Aeschylus?

An ancient Greek tragedian,

born circa 525 BC.

"He who learns must suffer.

And even in our sleep..."

"Pain that cannot forget

falls drop by drop
upon the heart."

Knowing that my sister
has a chance to evolve,

to live a full life,

it makes me feel I
can endure anything.

I am sure, given
the opportunity,

you would do the same
for your own brother.

If I could find him.

But seeing you with Siranna

has made one thing
very clear to me.

And that is?

I need to go home as well.

To Vulcan.
