Star Trek: Discovery (2017) s03e03 Episode Script

Previously on Star Trek: Discovery
Identify spacetime location.
You have reached year 3188.
It was not my intention
to crash into your ship.
I am sorry.
You ever gonna tell me your name?
My name's Book.
The Federation is gone?
- What happened?
- It collapsed, I guess.
- After The Burn.
- What's The Burn?
Dilithium. One day, most
of it just went boom.
The thing is,
you got no authority here,
whereas The Burn was the best
thing that ever happened to me.
All that matters now is dilithium.
Welcome to Starfleet.
I need to locate the warp
signature of a starship
with the identifier NCC1031.
Something is coming
toward us; something big.
Enemy vessel, right on top of us.
And we're being hailed.
Open a channel, Mr. Bryce.
Saru!
I landed here a year ago.
I've been waiting for
all of you all this time.
Personal log, Commander Michael Burnham,
stardate 865211.3.
Automatic transmission to USS Discovery,
wherever or whenever it might be.
I'm sending this message
because you need to know
what I've learned here.
I hope that, by some miracle,
you'll receive it someday.
700 years after we left,
dilithium supplies dried up.
The Federation tried
alternative warp drive designs,
but none proved reliable.
Then came The Burn.
No one knows how or why it happened,
but in an instant, all
dilithium went inert.
Any ship with an active
warp core detonated.
The Federation as we know
it disappeared overnight.
It's now just a shadow
of its former self.
We didn't give everything for
this version of the future,
and I'll be damned if I let it stand.
I've become a courier.
I transport goods in
exchange for dilithium
to keep exploring, sector by sector,
searching for clues as
to what caused The Burn,
answers that might help to bring
the Federation together again.
Wherever I go, I look
for you, my friends.
I listen for any sign of your arrival,
but communication
remains severely limited.
Even if I did find you, I
know it would be different,
because I am different.
But I will always love you,
but I've had to accept I
may never see you again.
You can love someone
and still let them go.
It feels like a dream, this world.
A strange, terrible, beautiful dream.
Combat simulation complete.
Luckily, I'm not alone on this journey.
I found a friend in the
true sense of the word.
This is my life now, and I..
I cannot imagine what
this year has been for you.
I couldn't have imagined it, either.
How is everyone?
Grateful for each other.
They are finding ways to grasp
the enormity of what we have done.
Some more successful than others.
And you?
How are you?
Kelpiens have always had a deep
understanding of fear and loss.
Perhaps that prepared me for this.
I do not like to think that
you were alone all this time.
Well, the ship that pulled you
out of the ice belongs to a friend.
He's a courier, and we
work together sometimes.
You have been a courier?
It was the only way to
scrounge up any information.
I sent a transmission to Terralysium.
It took months to get a response.
And they had never heard of my mom.
I promised Book some
dilithium for getting me here.
- Book?
- Oh, Cleveland Booker. My friend.
Is he from Earth?
No. But it's the name, right?
There has to be a story there. I
haven't gotten it out of him yet.
Well, we will honor your
arrangement, of course.
And I will offer Mr. Booker
my sincerest appreciation.
Welcome back, Commander.
Nobody knows if The Burn was an accident
or a natural disaster.
But it appears that devastation
flashed in an instant
across all known space.
That's impossible.
Nothing could affect all
dilithium all at once.
Says a man who jumps a
starship through mushroom space.
How many?
How many died?
Millions.
I wish I could tell you how
much of the Federation remains.
But I did find part of a transmission
- from an obsolete Starfleet channel. Bryce?
- Aye.
This is Admiral Senna Tal.
I will wait for any who
would join us on Earth,
anyone who still believes in us.
The Federation lives on. But we need
- Is he at Starfleet headquarters?
- Not sure.
That message was 12 years ago.
And Earth was always too
far away for me to reach.
But now with the spore
drive, we can get there.
We will find Admiral Tal and
help him begin the process.
We should jump to outside
of Earth's scanning range.
Pose as a starship that
was stranded by The Burn,
trying to head home at sub light speed.
I see your little walkabout
has taught you a thing or two.
I like that.
It is a wise strategy.
So, um, shall I go?
Commander Burnham,
I believe we are due for a conversation.
- Perhaps we should
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no. There's no need.
- But we agreed to discuss
- No, it it's
it's you, Saru.
Uh
And chain of command dictates it.
I don't know if it's ever been me.
You brought this ship through time.
You carried this crew on your shoulders.
You are a captain in the
truest sense of the word.
It would be my honor.
This ship bears the name Discovery.
Never has that been more
fitting or more prescient.
She has carried us into the future,
and it will be our privilege
to make that future bright.
Let us begin.
Together.
Aye, Captain.
Attention, all personnel.
Lock down drills for Deck 7
have been canceled until further notice.
You okay?
We haven't even had a
chance to say goodbye
to the friends we've lost.
Not to mention
my mom.
My cousins, my
everybody back home. I mean,
w what, they got breakfast, they
were late for work, t they had kids.
I mean, they had whole lives.
And they're gone.
No, they've been gone for centuries.
I keep thinking there has
got to be something on Earth
that we'll recognize, right?
I don't know, the
Gateway Arch, maybe? Uh
The Giza pyramids?
Homemade hummingbird cake?
Cake is eternal.
Cake is eternal.
I always knew that I
would see you again.
Yeah, I keep having
this, like, image of you.
You're, like, holding a dandelion,
and you blow on it,
and the seeds, they go.
You let us go, didn't you?
It's okay.
Ah, time travel, man.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Look, I may not know you,
but, like, I know you.
Okay? So whatever. I love your hair.
Thank you.
You do seem, like lighter.
Somehow.
- Hmm.
- Ensign Tilly,
I'm still waiting for
that recalibration kit.
- Well, some things never change.
- Yeah.
Go. I have to meet someone anyways.
Okay.
Welcome aboard.
You're not Detmer.
- Or Tilly.
- I'd rather kill myself.
You're Philippa Georgiou.
Michael warned me about you.
Did you listen?
Apparently not enough.
Is there a reason we're
having this conversation?
I like to see who's come aboard my ship
- after gallivanting through space with Michael.
- "Gallivanting. "
If only I'd known. Where is she?
Your girlfriend?
She's not my girlfriend.
No, really.
She's not We didn't have
Nope, nope.
We're not talking about this.
Answer my question.
In another world, I might have said
Michael is somewhere being
earnest and doing the right thing.
In this one
I'm not so sure.
My, oh, my. Oh, my, oh, my.
If they could see what I'm seeing.
- Who?
- Who?
- Any of them.
- Wow.
Come on, you could run a sector.
Two sectors.
A dozen, even.
You brought me back.
Is it weird to say I knew you would?
No.
'Cause you'd have done the same thing.
Does it feel like home?
It's familiar, but, um
far away.
Do you feel like you owe
these folks something?
'Cause if you do, you know, that's fine.
But remember
you already jumped through a wormhole.
Someone's eventually going to
find out about this stash you have.
Yeah. Discovery will be a target.
You, too.
You pissed off some scary people.
- You helped.
- Thank you.
Is there anyone here we could piss off?
You could come with us. To Earth.
So we can piss off an entire planet?
Just the opposite. You'd be safe.
No one will find you out that far.
I believe in what I do, Michael.
I can't just give it up.
There could be more Tranceworms
out there in need of your help.
Bollocks. I mean,
yeah, there might be, but
- Clean slate.
- Ah.
What do you get out of the deal?
We could use your help
masking all that dilithium.
"We" as in Discovery.
What "we" are you really talking about?
Shush.
I learned by now it's a lost
cause trying to say no to you.
I've never been to Earth.
I've never been to this one.
Book's ship can cloak our
dilithium It's the safest choice.
I cannot place our
entire dilithium supply
into the hands of a stranger.
We don't have another option, Captain.
I must admit, Commander,
I am having some difficulty
trusting your judgment.
I am grateful for your
support of my captaincy.
But your refusal to even
consider the possibility
surprised me.
This past year has
altered your perspective.
I'm the same person, Saru.
And I'm not.
As I am now responsible
for every life on this ship,
and as I had intended to offer you
the position as my Number One
I must insist you explain.
Everything that we dedicated our
lives to disappeared into madness.
We thought we could imagine a future,
and it turns out we were wrong.
I adapted.
And I did what I had to
to learn as much as I could
about what happened and why.
I just need some time.
Book's ship can stay in the shuttle bay
as long as it has our dilithium.
It will remain under guard.
And he will not be permitted
to board it until we reach Earth
and the dilithium has
been safely removed.
Prepare to jump to Earth.
Auxiliary power systems and
primary computer systems are online.
Impulse engines online.
Weapons systems fully operational.
Communications online.
Warp core stable and
functional but powered down.
Welcome to the bridge, Mr. Booker.
And thank you for bringing
Commander Burnham home to us.
Commander Stamets, status report?
Spore drive is online,
and ready to go, Captain.
Black alert, please.
Oh, shit.
Hey, you didn't tell me
about the spinning part. Huh?
Coordinates relative to
galactic core confirmed.
Initiating multiphasic scans
and updating astrometric data.
Approaching visual range, sir.
There she is.
Increase magnification, please.
Mr. Rhys, what are those arrays?
They seem to be some form of
advanced force field generators.
Uh, sir, two vessels
approaching from Earth's orbit.
They do not bear Starfleet registries.
Shields up, red alert.
Sir, we're being hailed.
Put them through.
A view screen. How quaint.
I am Captain Ndoye of the
United Earth Defense Force.
Your vessel has violated
regulations C1922
and F031 of the U.E. charter
by reaching Earth's perimeter.
Leave immediately. You
are not welcome here.
I am Captain Saru of the USS Discovery.
We are a Starfleet vessel
and unfamiliar with the
United Earth Defense Force.
Are you a branch of the Federation?
Your ship is not in our records.
Discovery was on a long-term,
classified scientific expedition.
We are the descendants
of its original crew.
And you've continued to
function as a Starfleet vessel?
We have.
We wish to contact a Starfleet officer
whose message we received.
Earth was its point of origin.
Your vessel's
configuration and metallurgy
suggest 23rd to
25th-century construction.
I find it quite odd that
it remains in service.
There is no need to replace
that which is not broken.
How did your ship survive The Burn?
It was not at warp at the time.
For us to consider your request,
your ship and crew will
undergo a mandatory inspection.
Any evidence of piracy
will be dealt with severely.
Piracy?
Very well, Captain Ndoye.
We will prepare for your arrival.
We are beaming aboard now.
Don't move.
Hey. What the hell is this?
Don't touch that! Excuse me. Hey!
Who are you?
Put these on.
- Why?
- They're searching the ship.
If anyone is not in full uniform,
they'll be suspect.
They could be arrested.
I see Earth's about as
tolerant as anyplace else.
What is this? Ah, whatever.
- You're "Lieutenant Booker" now.
- Aye, aye, Commander.
One "aye. " We're not pirates.
Remember that time when I had
to wade through that bog on Ikasu
- to pull those leeches off you?
- Yes.
- When we saved each other.
- Nope.
- I saved you. And this is worse than the bog.
- Oh
Attention, all Discovery crew members.
We are undergoing inspection.
Your cooperation is expected. Thank you.
Okay. Go on.
Mm-hmm.
Just a uniform.
No, it isn't.
Oh.
You've been playing the
long game this whole time.
To get you to join Starfleet?
To see me in this outfit.
Look, you will be in your own clothes
and on your own ship and
petting your fat cat in no time.
How many times have I told you?
- She's a que
- She's a queen.
- Oh, you funny.
- I am.
- Yeah.
- After you, Lieutenant Booker.
Aye, Commander Burnham.
I'll go blend in.
Seriously? Admiral?
I had to make it believable.
You don't look so thrilled to
be back in uniform yourself.
I just forgot what it felt like.
Mm, once you've grown used
to living by your own rules,
it's not so easy to follow
other people's, is it?
Why are you still on
Discovery, Philippa?
Why are you?
I see it in your eyes, Michael.
You've tasted freedom that you
never even thought was possible.
Freedom from the obligations
of what others needed you to be.
I'm not sure you ever
knew who you really were
without someone else to tell you.
But you're starting to.
And this place no longer
feels like your place.
Am I getting warm?
Commander Burnham to the ready room.
We believed Earth would
be a safe harbor, a
a place where we would feel welcome.
But we arrived to find you suspicious
of a starship that hails
from your own planet?
May I ask what you are
defending yourselves from?
Everyone lost someone to The Burn.
We had to focus on what
we still had: our planet.
We rebuilt Earth to be self-sustainable
all while being under near-constant
siege by dilithium raiders.
The most recent wave is led by
a tenacious individual named Wen.
He is relentless.
Targeting our ships.
He would take our dilithium at any cost.
I assure you we have
no ties with this Wen
or any other raiders.
Many of our crew consider
Earth their ancestral home.
Yes. Captain, all we want is to
check in with Starfleet Command.
You have been away a long time.
I'm afraid you won't find
what you're looking for here.
The Federation and Starfleet haven't
been on Earth for a hundred years.
Where have they gone?
No one knows.
Most of the ships destroyed
in The Burn were Federation.
No one knew if it was an attack
and, if so, whether
it would happen again.
Having Federation headquarters on
Earth made it a potential target.
I do not understand.
Earth is no longer
part of the Federation?
Why should we be? We can
take care of ourselves.
What about the Starfleet officer
who sent the transmission I received?
That was just 12 years ago.
What was the name?
Admiral Senna Tal.
Admiral Tal was on Earth.
But he died on an outbound
ship two years ago.
Its destination isn't listed.
I'm sorry.
Ah!
Hey! That's highly sensitive.
Stand back.
Is this how it's gonna
be everywhere we go?
I thought at least Earth
would feel like home.
- You're not listening to me.
- What are you doing?
Don't touch that.
Why is that cube connected to
your vessel's bridge controls?
This is a science research vessel.
I'm an astromycologist.
I use the cube for
controlled spore reactions,
which requires coordination
with the bridge.
This science vessel's
practically a museum.
Okay, well, museums are cool, so
That's what someone who
lives in a museum would say.
- I don't live in a museum.
- How old are you?
- 17?
- 16.
Would you please remove your
16-year-old fingers from my life's work?
- What did I just say?
- This is an interface of some kind.
Okay, we get it. You're
smart. Everybody here is smart!
Adira. Our job is to
inspect, not engage.
We're done here.
- Report.
- Five unidentified vessels incoming.
They're powering up advanced
phasers of some kind.
Those are Wen's ships.
His raiders are always
scanning for targets.
- They're hailing us, sir.
- Do not respond.
Dialogue is an effective strategy.
We know our enemy. Do not respond.
You have no jurisdiction on my bridge.
Put them through, Mr. Bryce.
Federation vessel.
- Surrender your dilithium immediately.
- Scan us.
We have no dilithium on board.
The speed with which you
appeared in sensor range
tells me something else.
Surrender, or we will
take what we need by force.
Your request to visit Earth is denied.
Leave orbit immediately.
We'll deal with Wen ourselves.
Inspectors, this is Captain Ndoye.
Cease all activities and return.
Sir, we can't.
- Something is interfering with our transport.
- What?
- This is sabotage.
- We are a Starfleet vessel
and would never utilize sabotage
against the Federation's home planet.
We will find the cause of the
transporter interference and handle Wen.
His fight is with us, not you.
Then take that fight
away from our orbit,
or we'll shoot them out of the sky,
and you will have started a
war in the name of Starfleet.
Tell me you saved the day.
I have a plan.
- Yes.
- Remember Donatu Seven?
- No.
- You do so.
Yes. Okay.
But I'm trying to forget.
Well, we need to get to your ship.
Unless you want to keep
brooding into your synthehol
- Synthehol?
- Mmm.
Damn.
And here I am, trying to get a buzz on
and reach a place of
existential despair.
- You coming?
- Yes. I'm worried about my cat.
Don't you have to ask for permission?
I'll apologize after.
Okay. Donatu Seven.
I'm sober. Maybe it'll work this time.
You're right.
- That's not our tech.
- Okay.
it's accessing our
deflector shield systems.
Which is allowing it to
block the beaming frequencies
of the inspectors'
personal transporters.
And there's a fail-safe,
so if we try to disable it,
our shield systems will shut down, too.
It's gonna take hours
to find a workaround.
I knew that tween menace
was up to something.
And she did this while
we were yelling at her.
She's not even a tween menace.
She's a frigging' teen genius.
I mean, I was an engineering
whiz when I was her age, trust me,
but this would require
knowledge of the inner workings
of a 900-year-old starship.
And she identified
that our bridge controls
are connected to the spore
cube with barely a glance.
I think she was watching
the others to make sure
that they weren't watching her.
She must have been working alone.
But what's the point
in sabotaging our ship?
She's just trapping
her own people on board.
Maybe she was buying
herself some time?
How do you get a teen genius to fess up?
Give her some of your weird mushrooms.
Who are you?
I'm sorry, sir.
The raider vessels aren't
responding to our hails.
I'm detecting an unauthorized
departure from the shuttle bay.
It's Booker's ship.
It's no longer cloaked.
There are two humanoid
life signs on board and
Go ahead, Lieutenant.
They have our dilithium.
Dilithium?
The future looks darker
and darker for you.
Captain Ndoye, I said
I would handle Wen,
and I intend to do so.
Burnham is on that ship, with
Booker. Lieutenant Detmer.
Where are they headed?
Straight towards the raiders, sir.
Hail Commander Burnham.
No. If she responds to your hails,
the raiders will think
that she's working for you,
- and that would ruin her advantage.
- Advantage for what, exactly?
My guess is she's
thinking like one of them,
taking what she needs,
and doing what's necessary.
She did not consult me.
Have you heard the one
about the unstoppable force
that met an immovable object?
You are the object.
This is Ndoye. Target the vessel
approaching the raider ships.
- I will not permit that.
- Under no circumstances
can Wen obtain your dilithium.
Okay, these ships have seen better days.
Not the raiders we're used to.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
Let's try Orion Tango.
Yeah? Come on, Orion Tango's fun.
- Remember that time with the creature
- Feathers.
I thought it was scales.
Whatever they were, I was digging them
out of my hair for days.
- We could do Radok Sien.
- Absolutely not.
How many times you want
me to get my nose broken?
My whole face swelled up, and
Grudge wouldn't look at me for days.
I was crushed.
He's hailing us.
Talk fast.
We have what you need. We want
to make a deal. Scan our ship.
That was entirely monosyllabic.
- I love it when you do that.
- You're weird.
Just did it again.
Dilithium?
- You stole it from Discovery.
- What do you care? We have a lot of it.
We'll beam it over,
but you have to leave Earth's orbit now.
- What's in this for you?
- We're peace-loving individuals.
No one simply gives
away that much dilithium.
Earth's got quantum
torpedoes aimed right at us.
Earth hangs everyone out to dry.
I need to find out what they're doing.
- Getting us out of the firing range.
- No, not yet. Discovery will come through.
Saru doesn't even know what we're up to.
- He'll figure it out.
- Yeah. And when he does,
why is he gonna come and rescue us?
Because he's Starfleet.
Fire torpedoes in 30 seconds.
- This is your last chance, Captain.
- My people are on that ship.
Your people who
disobeyed a direct order.
They stand down or they die.
My duty is to United Earth.
She's left you only one way to
protect Michael and the dilithium.
We will not attack Earth.
- Starfleet does not fire first.
- 15 seconds, Captain.
- You are a slow learner, Saru.
- And you are far too fast on the trigger.
Lieutenant Detmer,
- when Earth opens fire, we will take the hit.
- Sir?
- Move us into position, Lieutenant.
- Wait. We just recovered.
- We don't know what their torpedoes could do to
- Shields are at full capacity.
Commander Burnham has
never let us down before.
- She will not do so this time.
- Five seconds.
- Lieutenant Detmer, now!
- Four. Three.
Sir, we've lost shields.
Divert all nonessential power.
Get them restored as
quickly as possible.
Raiders are charging their phasers
and getting ready to fire back.
United Earth has a standing
order to take them down.
If they have to go through
you to stop Wen, they will.
Time to fight or die, Captain.
Discovery can't take another hit.
That means the next shot
from Earth will end you.
So you can either lower your shields
and let us beam the dilithium
over and stay alive
Or fire back. Hope for the best.
Either way, I'll sleep just fine.
Prepare to transport the dilithium.
When he lowers his shields,
- we're going to have to move fast.
- Mm-hmm.
- Earth is preparing to fire again.
- Come around again, Lieutenant.
Captain, we have no shields to defend.
I have given my order.
Booker's ship just cloaked itself.
Captain, raiders are
powering down weapons.
Wen has never backed away before.
Perhaps they met an unstoppable force.
- Tell your people to stand down.
- Not until I'm certain that
Special delivery.
The dilithium is safe.
His people won't fire on us as
long as we have their captain.
It's time for you two to talk.
There is no talking past the damage
he and his like have done.
Damage we've done?
Do you have any idea
how much we've lost?
When was the last time your two
peoples talked with one another?
- They have no respect.
- They have never listened.
Try.
United Earth doesn't even
utilize their dilithium.
They just hoard it while
the rest of us suffer.
You bring your suffering on yourselves.
Maybe you should talk to
one another face-to-face.
If you don't surrender your dilithium,
my people can still take it by force.
My life is not that important.
Diplomacy is so slow.
You're human?
Perhaps it is time to
stop making assumptions
and start listening.
I know what you did.
What were you doing?
The technology on this ship
Your glass cube, these
spore canisters
There's more to it
than you're letting on.
So explain it to me or I'll report you.
If you were going to report us,
you'd have done it a long time ago.
Besides, I don't think
you want everyone knowing
you're the one responsible
for the sabotage.
Am I wrong?
Now, you want to show me
what you're working on?
These spores are from the fungal species
called Prototaxites stellaviatori.
They power an alternate form
of faster-than-light travel
called the displacement-activated
spore hub drive,
though no one actually calls it that.
And, uh, that interface you saw
it connects to me.
I'm its human navigator.
Are there others like you?
There's no one like me.
Well, I know how that feels.
Um, so, your ship wasn't
stranded after The Burn.
- Are you even a part of Starfleet?
- Yes.
But, um, from the year 2258.
That explains a lot.
I mean, all the old technology
that still looks brand-new.
But
how?
If you want any more details,
then I need to know who I'm talking to.
Because there's also more to
you than you're letting on.
I became an inspector hoping I'd
come across a Federation starship.
The sabotage was just so I
could have more time, here.
I just needed to make
sure I could trust you.
Because I want to come with you.
Come with us? Why?
Senna Tal,
the Starfleet officer
you've been looking for
I know him.
When we first scanned your
ship, it was overcrowded.
Strained beyond its means.
Not a typical raider ship.
Our habitats on Titan are
- Barely livable.
- Titan?
That was once a research colony.
You split off from Earth a century ago,
you're fully self-sufficient.
We were.
An accident at our
liquid-hydrocarbon research base
destroyed a third of our habitats.
Wiped out our tillable soil.
We've no long-range communications,
no way to ask for help.
And we have lost
too many to count.
The first ship we sent for
help, to our home planet,
was fired upon and destroyed.
Then we knew we were on our own.
Earth has had to have
strong defense protocols
in the name of self-preservation.
We didn't know.
Now you do.
Captain Ndoye,
can Earth provide engineers
and equipment to Titan,
so an accident like that
doesn't happen again?
And assuming Titan's
research was not lost,
perhaps it could be shared
with Earth in return.
I'm willing to discuss terms.
As am I.
The way you handled Wen was admirable.
An exception can be made for your
crew to visit Earth's surface,
should they wish to do so.
They would appreciate that immensely.
It has been a long journey.
You spoke with Adira.
She told me she can help you.
She has my permission to
remain on board your ship.
Thank you, Captain Ndoye.
I would like to believe
we will return someday.
We hope to offer you a
warmer welcome when you do.
May your search be
fruitful, Captain Saru.
Commander Stamets said you
know where to find Admiral Tal.
Does this mean he is alive after all?
Um, sort of.
I am Admiral Tal.
Although human,
it appears young Adira has been
joined with a Trill symbiont.
Trill?
I've seen Trills at the exchanges.
- I didn't know they carried symbionts.
- Hmm.
According to the sphere data,
the symbionts are a sentient life-form,
benevolent and extremely long-lived.
Once they join with a host,
that host has the ability to
access the memories of all former hosts.
Including Admiral Tal's.
Yes, but
It seems Adira has difficulty
accessing those memories.
Perhaps because she
is human and not Trill.
Well, regardless,
she may carry knowledge of
what remains of Starfleet.
I hope so.
I should've told you about my plan.
Yes, you should have.
Trust must remain an
assumption between us.
We have work to do,
and I would be proud
to do it by your side.
But there are things,
in my year here
that I let go of.
And I need time
to find my way back to them.
If I can.
I will trust you to grow through change,
as you have trusted me.
Then it would be my privilege
to be your Number One.
If things were easy
They wouldn't be worth it.
Huh?
Are you sure you won't miss the uniform?
I have a rash from
that damn uniform, okay?
You owe me.
You get a fresh start
in a new quadrant
By my count we're even.
I'm glad you have a
family here, Michael.
Till next time.
Till next time.
That's Starfleet Academy.
Indeed.
Well, at least, it was.
Where is everyone?
I gave them leave to pay a visit.
You're welcome to join them.
No.
I think I'll admire the view from here.
With you.
Some places can survive anything.
After all this time.
Oh, my God. Here it is.
- I used to study under this tree.
- So did I.
Me, too.
It's so
Big now.
It's so weird. It's like
all these things are
gone, but here it is.
It's exactly where it's supposed to be.
We all stood in the same spot,
930 years apart.
Who else can say that?
This is Captain Saru.
Oh, please, Captain, can we
just have five more minutes?
We have much work to
do before we continue
our search for Federation
headquarters, but
You may have your five minutes.
Enjoy.
This mission could be a reminder
that we are and always will be
connected to something
greater than ourselves.
Whatever happens out there,
don't say anything annoyingly
inspirational. That makes me nuts.
Okay.
We have to take the time
to measure what we
have all accomplished.
You reminded us who
we are to each other.
