Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...

- Section 31?
- She's 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.

- Spock drew those images.
- What is it?

He called it the Red Angel.

That vision changed him forever.

I've seen this angel, too.

I watched Tyler kill you.

I held your body.

He is alive.

We're getting you out of here.

Something has
grabbed us out of warp, sir.

We're locked into place.

- Some kind of a life-form?
- It must need something.

It's 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.

The Sphere is triggering
the Kelpien biological

process known as Vahar'ai.

Signals when Kelpiens are

ready for slaughter by the Ba'ul,

the predator species

on my homeworld of Kaminar.

You are the only one who knows me.

You replaced the
sister I had on Kaminar.

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?

We all come from somewhere.

We carry that place
with us wherever we go.

That never leaves our hearts.

Not entirely.

How's it going in here?

Oh,
my- well,

without Airiam, we
would have spent months

trying to sort through
the Sphere's data.

But none of us can predict...

Okay, look at this. This is incredible.

...where our voyage will lead.

The data collection of
the Sphere isn't random.

Oh, no, it's not random at all.

It's actually an impossibly
sophisticated repository

of... like, a slice of
the galaxy's history.

It's like this delicious
slice of galaxy pie.

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 isn't a test or a, a scan
Dr. Pollard hasn't run on me.

Well, you appear yourself.

Well, I don't 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...

- Vahar'ai.
- 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-
it's difficult to say

with certainty what these changes mean.

But if I had to guess,

I'd say your fear responses
are being repressed.

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.

It's Section 31's position

that if the entity we're
calling the Red Angel

is in fact generating these signals,

it's 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 let's 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.
- I've seen the drawings

from Spock's time in
the psychiatric unit.

Look, can either of you say for sure

this thing didn't cause
his nervous breakdown?

Spock made no mention of the Red Angel

when he asked for leave
from the Enterprise.

But Agent Tyler's 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.

Captain Leland
has devoted significant

Section 31 resources to finding him.

But we're coming up empty-handed.

As his sister, can you think of anywhere

Spock might have gone?

Someplace we might not
have thought to look?

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.

Acquiring coordinates.

On screen.

We have a lock, sir.

The signal is over an M-class planet.

- It's listed in the Federation database as...
- Kaminar.

- Commander Saru, that's...
- Yes.

Kaminar is my homeworld.

Star Trek: Discovery
SO2EO6 - The Sounds of Thunder

Kaminar is populated
by two sentient species:

my people- the
Kelpiens- and the Ba'ul.

The Ba'ul are your predators.

The Ba'ul 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 Ba'ul High Council proved hostile.

So why did the Ba'ul send

a transmission in the first place?

They...

did not.

That transmission was from me.

I coopted the Ba'ul's technology

in order to send a
message, with the hope

that someone, somewhere,
would receive it.

And that someone was Captain Georgiou.

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.

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 isn't random.

Discovery’s taken a serious
interest in the Red Angel.

Could be it's returning the favor.

That's 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 Ba'ul
are the keepers of this balance.

Do the Kelpiens worship the Ba'ul?

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

that allows the Ba'ul
mastery over my people.

They hide behind it.

No Kelpien has even seen
a Ba'ul in living memory.

It is the same technology

they use to keep
Starfleet at arm's length.

So we shouldn't expect a warm welcome.

The Ba'ul are, by nature, isolationist.

And they're committed to preserving

- the status quo on Kaminar.
- Well, they must have seen the signal, too.

Maybe they wouldn't
mind an offer to share information.

Depending on how they're approached.

Well, let's 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.

Prepare to disengage warp power.

Sir, stopping
out of warp above Kaminar.

The signal disappeared

before we arrived.

What else is new?

Mr. Bryce, hail the
Ba'ul 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 Ba'ul are not responding, sir.

That's not entirely true, sir.

They're scanning our weapons systems.

Just our weapons systems.

- So much for knocking on the front door.
- Maybe the Ba'ul just

haven't 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?

You're assuming the signals
only appear for a reason.

Yes, Mr. Tyler, that's
exactly what I'm assuming.

- Why won't the Ba'ul respond?
- Perhaps,

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

And even had the Ba'ul
answered our hails,

why would you trust those
who have enslaved my people

for centuries with fear and lies?

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 Ba'ul,
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.

- Wouldn't that be a violation of General Order 1?
- Though the Kelpiens

aren't warp capable, they've
seen warp-capable technology

through the Ba'ul,

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 let's try not to
break it in the process.

Burnham,

as a xenoanthropologist,

I think you're uniquely qualified

to talk to a village priest.

Sir,

I am the logical choice.

I offer my experience.

To disregard it is to
disregard the suffering

of generations of Kelpiens.

Given all that suffering,

you're the most complicated choice.

Do you doubt my ability
to carry out the mission?

Of course not.

But at present, we lack
a full understanding

of the biological...

and behavioral changes
you're 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 Vahar'ai.

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 I'll remind you both,
we're here to gather information

about the signals and the Red Angel,

not start a war between
the Kelpiens and the Ba'ul.

Mr. Saru?

My duty, first and foremost, is
to Discovery’s mission, sir.

I never doubt that.

Start in your own village.

Maybe they'll be glad to see you.

So, uh,

what did the scan say?

Read 'em yourself.

All normal.

You're you.

Yes and no.

Brain patterns and neural
impulses are identical,

but this body

was entirely reconstituted
from your DNA.

It's brand-new down to
the last molecule. You are,

for lack of a better word, pristine.

My scar, it's gone.

It is?

- I hadn't 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...

And apparently indestructible.

The path he was on gave way,

and he fell 30 meters.

15, actually.

Well, enough to puncture your shoulder.

He would've bled out, too,

if it weren't 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, it's...

It's because your new nervous
system is still adjusting.

I'd like to continue
monitoring you, but I believe

you're ready to resume
your normal life soon.

That pylon.

It isn't Kelpien, is it?

No.

The Ba'ul 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 Ba'ul 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 day's work is done.

It will soon be nightfall.

Kelpiens rarely venture out in the dark.

I led this life once.

If I didn't know your
people were oppressed,

I'd 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 Ba'ul.

And our priests sustain that belief.

Didn't you say your father was a priest?

Yes, he was a collaborator,

albeit an unwitting one,

enforcing the grip the
Ba'ul 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.

These are the same
flowers from your quarters.

Fredalia, yes.

They do not grow quite
so well on a starship.

______

______

Brother?

Siranna!

Saru!

You're 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...

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 Ba'ul.

I found a new life.

What are you?

I'm human. My name is Michael.

I come from a planet called Earth,

and I work with your brother
on the starship Discovery.

How is it that we can
understand one another?

This device.

It's 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?

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 Vahar'ai
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...

We're 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.

What's happening?

The Ba'ul.

They must have observed your return.

Once again you disturb the Great Balance

and put our village in danger.

You must leave now!

We won't be safe until you're 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.

They're coming.

Discovery,beam us back.

Yellow alert.

Commander Saru, Commander Burnham,

please report to the bridge.

Whatever you did, the
Ba'ul are hailing us now.

I'm going to guess it's not to
invite us to a welcome party.

Communication
channel established.

It's 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 Discovery...

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.

We're investigating the signal
that appeared over your planet,

which I'm 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 Kaminar's 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 Vahar'ai.

The Great Balance is the only truth,

and it must not be disturbed.

Your lies no longer work on me.

I survived my Vahar'ai

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.

Captain, I detect

ten Ba'ul sentry ships
on an intercept course.

Shields up. Red alert. Show
me what we're dealing with.

♪

Ba'ul ships are powering
up their weapons.

- Warm up the phasers.
Aye, Captain.

Whoever is listening to my voice,

I advise that you consider

your next move very carefully.

Give us the Kelpien.

Commander Saru is
a political asylum seeker

and a Starfleet officer,

protected by the Federation.

You would risk the
lives of your own people

for one Kelpien?

This Kelpien

is our people.

And to defend him, I will
do whatever I deem necessary.

As will we.

The Ba'ul are activating the pylon

in Commander Saru's village.

You have interfered

in the affairs of this village.

If you do not return the Kelpien,

there'll be blood on your hands.

The pylons are weaponized.

They mean to destroy my village.

- We have to...
- Mr. Saru!

You will remove
yourself from the bridge.

- But, Captain...
- That's an order.

Red alert.

All crew to their assigned stations.

♪

You are relieved from duty.

- Sir?
- Get out.

Saru, I know what you're doing.

Move off the transporter pad now.

Or what, Michael?

I don't want to use this.

But you're not thinking clearly, Saru.

I have never felt more
clarity than in this moment.

This is the only way.

Would you not do the
same for your own brother?

Sir, someone is beaming
down to planet surface.

What? Who is it?

Burnham to the
bridge. It's Commander Saru.

He's surrendering himself.

Damn it.

Captain, the sentry ships are
powering down their weapons.

Ops, track Saru's signal.

A Ba'ul ship has taken him.

They're traveling toward...
I've lost the signal, sir.

He's gone.

Well, with 100,000 years' worth of data,

there has to be some
information about Kaminar

- in the Sphere's archive.
- Well, what precisely are we looking for?

When the Ba'ul learned that Saru

had survived his Vahar'ai,

their determination to
capture him increased.

It was as if his continued
existence threatened them.

You think the Ba'ul
are hiding something?

I think they know more about the changes

brought on by Vahar'ai
than the Kelpiens do.

And I think they're willing to do

almost anything to keep that secret.

Will they kill Saru?

Not if we can find out
what they're hiding in time.

And there has to be something
in the Sphere's archive.

There has to be.

Well, that's 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 Ba'ul, they said,

"You do not even know what you are. "

So, what is Saru?

Siranna?!

Brother?

Oh, why did the Watchful Eye take me?

It is not yet my time.

My sister has nothing to do with this!

I am the one you wanted.

Why did you have to return?

Everyone else thought you were dead.

But the night you disappeared,

I saw the light rising into the sky.

I became a priest to seek that light.

To seek you.

Your face is beautiful to me,

but part of me hoped I
would never see it again.

Because it might mean you were free.

No! No.

Stop!

♪

Fascinating.

Airiam, can you identify

historical biological records
from Kaminar's surface?

Searching...

Yes, bio-signs were
archived by the Sphere.

Um, actually, I can use those
current readings of the Ba'ul

to distinguish their
bio-signs from the Kelpiens'.

Right, and we can cross-reference

Saru's medical records

to isolate the post-Vahar'ai Kelpiens'

historic bio-signs from
the rest of their species.

The Ba'ul could only know about

the evolutionary
consequences of Vahar'ai

if, at one time, they experienced them.

Otherwise, why does it threaten them?

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

there's a significant portion
of the Kelpiens were like Saru.

They survived Vahar'ai?

The blue represents evolved Kelpiens,

green un evolved, red Ba'ul.

Sorry, that...

that doesn't look right.

The Ba'ul narrowly escaped extinction.

Then they turned around

and wiped out the evolved Kelpiens.

Leaving only unevolved Kelpiens, but...

Wait, so all this would mean that...

The Ba'ul were originally
the prey species.

So they would think of Saru as a...

Predator.

♪

The first Kelpien

to pass its Vahar'ai

in over 2,000 years,

and your primal, feral responses

are the same as centuries ago.

Your kind can never govern itself.

The Federation has no idea

what they have welcomed
into their ranks.

They gave me the chance
stolen by the Ba'ul.

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 than our instincts.

You are the only two
Kelpiens to know the truth.

You will undergo analysis
and be neutralized.

The truth will be contained.

Wait!

No, please, stop!

Siranna!

It is true, then.

You have survived Vahar'ai?

Yes.

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 Ba'ul.

That stole our mother
and father from us.

And generations of
Kelpiens, beyond reckoning.

And it must end.

The Ba'ul used their
technological advantage

to lock the Kelpiens into subservience,

allowing them to live

while eliminating the threat they posed.

And that's why the Ba'ul are afraid.

Well, if we can help them understand

that Saru is not a threat,

that his people need not be a threat...

Sir, we're receiving a hail...

from the Ba'ul.

We should accept it.

Discovery, this is Commander Saru.

It's good to hear your voice, Commander.

I am with Siranna,
inside a Ba'ul structure.

But we have no other indicators

of our position.

We can't seem to get a lock
on your coordinates either.

Your location must be
shielded from our sensors.

Have you come in contact with the Ba'ul?

Yes. It was...

enlightening.

Commander Saru,

we used the Sphere's archives

to analyze your planet's history,

and it's far more
complex than we thought.

All evidence indicates that

Kelpiens, in post-Vahar'aiform,

were once the Ba'ul's predators.

That confirms my suspicions.

And the Ba'ul's belief that,

after passing Vahar'ai,

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.

But Siranna is right.

We must demonstrate to Kelpiens

and Ba'ul alike what we could become.

The same way I was shown.

The Sphere.

The Sphere triggered your Vahar'ai.

Yes, but we need to
accelerate the process.

We cannot allow the Ba'ul

to take action before Vahar'ai
is complete for all Kelpiens.

If we isolate the active frequencies

in the Sphere's transmission,
the corresponding sound wave

should speed up the biological
response, right?

- I got it.
- And the Ba'ul will have no choice

but to face our evolved race.

What if history repeats itself?

We can't be responsible for the
extinction of the Ba'ul species.

But the Ba'ul are still vastly
technologically superior.

It would take the Kelpiens generations

to become a serious threat.

Generations during which
the Ba'ul 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.

How will we broadcast
the Sphere's transmission

to all the Kelpiens at once?

The same way I made first contact

with Captain Georgiou.

By using the Ba'ul's own
technology against them.

That should do the trick.

Commander Saru, I'm
sending you the modified

Sphere transmissions now.

Once I do this,

all Kelpiens, including
you, will begin Vahar'ai.

Everything will change.

I'm afraid it'll 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.

Bio-sign readings
indicate that Vahar'ai

has initiated in 63%
of Kelpiens and rising.

I'm sorry. It will be over soon.

Sir, I'm detecting massive activity

beneath the surface of the lake.

On screen.

There's a structure
rising above the water.

At least 50 kilometers in diameter.

A Ba'ul stronghold.

Protected by a powerful force field.

That might be where they're holding

Commander Saru and Siranna captive.

Red alert. Rhys, target
that structure's shields.

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

and his sister's location.

You have survived.

We have angered the Ba'ul.

Owosekun, tell me what I'm looking at.

That Ba'ul structure
is activating pylons

across the planet,

with an energy buildup
capable of destroying

every Kelpien village.

Rather than let them evolve,

the Ba'ul are committing genocide?

Bryce, hail these bastards.

Rhys, forget the stronghold.
Get a target lock

on those pylons.

- They're 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, they've activated all 4,056 pylons

- in every Kelpien village.
- Lieutenant Rhys?

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

Let's get started.

Arm photon torpedoes.

On my order.

The Ba'ul mean to kill us all!

Discovery will stop them.

No, no!

Sir, sensor readings indicate

a massive spike in
electromagnetic radiation

in the Ba'ul structure.

The pulse has deactivated
all the pylons across Kaminar.

Rhys, hold your fire.

What the hell is happening?

The Ba'ul weapons and shields
have all been disabled,

but I can't get a
reading on what caused it.

The technology
required to generate

electric and magnetic
fields that wide...

This should be impossible.

That is what you came to find.

A savior.

Siranna, what has happened?

How have we survived Vahar'ai?

The truth has survived.

It is time for a true
balance to be restored.

You do not have to be afraid anymore.

Attention, all personnel...

What's this?

Commander Saru's report,

shared in the spirit of cooperation.

Thanks to Commander
Saru's 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, it's someone.

And whether human or alien,

it has extremely advanced technology.

Someone who is manipulating
the fates of entire species.

Control,

which models Section
31's threat assessments,

is probably rightfully alarmed by...

what is it? A...

a time-traveling being
pursuing its own agenda?

When we forced the Ba'ul
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 Control's
threat-assessment models...

seem a bit paranoid.

You're aware we're no longer at war?

And we don't 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.

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
Ba'ul accept each other.

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.

Thank you, Michael.

I'm 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.
