WEBVTT 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.799 Previously on Starship Resilience. Permission 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:09.560 to come aboard. Granted, Captain Moore. Welcome 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.240 to the Resilience. But before you take off on 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.400 Resilience, I do have a mission for you. With 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.359 the destruction of Romulus nearly 150 years ago, 00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:21.519 Starfleet believes it may be time to start putting 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.940 in the work to develop a Federation cloaking 00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.300 device. The Resilience has been chosen as the 00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:29.379 first large -scale test subject. Captain on the 00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:32.960 bridge. Lieutenant Maysha Baker, sir. Chief Engineer's 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.460 assistant. Most people call me Lieutenant Maysha. 00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:39.420 My heritage is Orion, sir. However, I was adopted 00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:43.859 very young and grew up on Earth. I just had... 00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.679 felt like a very strange conversation with that 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.460 engineering Lieutenant Maysha. What do you know 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.439 about her? Not much. She keeps to herself, or 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.619 often she's in the company of Commander Straan. 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.950 Greetings, Commander. Live long and prosper. 00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:03.950 You honor me, my student. Shall we begin? Computer, 00:01:04.409 --> 00:01:06.950 transfer all command codes to Captain Nicholas 00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:10.650 J. Moore. I relieve you, sir. I stand relieved. 00:01:10.969 --> 00:01:13.170 I have wanted to see this one more time before 00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:16.950 I... before I left this ship. Hello, Captain. 00:01:17.469 --> 00:01:20.349 Nick, I'm afraid I have some sad news. You might 00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:23.010 want to sit down. All hands, this is the Captain. 00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:27.030 Captain Colon has died as a result of a transporter 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:29.859 accident. returning to his home in Teller Prime. 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.280 Oh my god, we're getting coal on. It is most 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.299 unfortunate. I get that you found logic or embraced 00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:39.200 it or whatever the hell you call it, but that 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.280 was downright coal. Remember that you have chosen 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.000 the enlightened path. The words of Surak lead 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.379 us, as T'Plana-Hath said. Logic is the cement 00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:52.359 of our civilization, with which we ascend from 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:58.890 chaos, using reason as our guide. Episode 3 A 00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:51.689 Lesson in Concealment Captain's Log, Stardate 00:02:51.689 --> 00:02:57.710 212 -593 .11. It has been an eventful two days 00:02:57.710 --> 00:03:00.610 since I took command of this ship. My first staff 00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:03.090 meeting saw two of my senior officers nearly 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:05.550 come to blows and then we received word that 00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:08.310 the ship's former captain had died in a transporter 00:03:08.310 --> 00:03:11.889 accident on his way home. On a positive note, 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:14.969 we were given a very prestigious project involving 00:03:14.969 --> 00:03:18.259 a new Federation cloaking device. Commander Straan 00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:20.520 reports we should be ready for the cloaking tests 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.560 when we meet up with the Zelenskyy at the Barons. 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.759 The initial reports from the test simulations 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.900 on the device are positive. Engineering says 00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.479 there has been a slight power variance, but they 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.319 are confident they should be able to control 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:43.159 it during live tests. Space. The final frontier. 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.789 These are the voyages. of the Starship Resilience. 00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:51.750 Our mission? To explore new mysteries and new 00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:55.469 horizons. To seek out new friends and new wonders. 00:03:56.210 --> 00:04:00.370 To stand firm against whatever the universe throws 00:04:00.370 --> 00:05:07.370 at us. Computer. Coffee. Hot. More to Ch'rega. 00:05:08.670 --> 00:05:11.490 Ch'rega here. Go ahead, Captain. Commander, what 00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:14.430 is our ETA to the Barons? We should arrive within 00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:16.910 the hour, sir. Thank you, Commander. More out. 00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:26.129 Computer, record correspondent. Ready. Dear Mrs. 00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:29.089 Kohlan, by now you've been told of the death of 00:05:29.089 --> 00:05:32.970 your husband, Captain Tum Kohlan. On behalf of 00:05:32.970 --> 00:05:36.389 the crew of the USS Resilience, I wish to express 00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:40.730 my deepest condolences on your loss. Voice print 00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:46.009 confirmed. Computer? Verifying room occupancy. 00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:51.699 Confirmed. The one life form present is Captain 00:05:51.699 --> 00:06:01.019 Nicholas J. Moore. Initializing transport. What 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:10.439 the? To Captain Nick Moore, do not call security. 00:06:28.009 --> 00:06:33.509 Dear Captain Moore, I know this is unusual, but 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:36.689 if you were reading this, I have died on my way 00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:39.730 home shortly after arriving. There are a few 00:06:39.730 --> 00:06:42.790 things I needed you to know, and I didn't want 00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:44.970 to risk the information being in the ship's computer, 00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:48.069 as it would be available to whoever wanted to 00:06:48.069 --> 00:06:50.709 read it, no matter what level of encryption I 00:06:50.709 --> 00:06:55.389 used. Also, it might put your command in great 00:06:55.389 --> 00:06:58.959 jeopardy. First of all, I want you to know you 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.139 have nothing to fear from this letter. It is 00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:04.000 not dangerous, although the information contained 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.699 in it may prove threatening to some individuals. 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:12.139 You, in no way, should feel threatened. I trust 00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:15.420 you are an honest man, Captain Moore. When I 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:17.519 considered retiring, I began combing through 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.160 a list of people who would make suitable candidates 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.720 to take over command of the Resilience. Your 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.810 name was at or near the top of every list. Looking 00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:28.410 over your service record, I decided you were 00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:31.069 the perfect person to take over my ship and carry 00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:34.490 on my voice. You definitely sold me on your candidacy 00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:36.790 when you were interacting with the crew at the 00:07:36.790 --> 00:07:40.610 transfer ceremony. I want you to know I do remember 00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:43.290 you from your time on the maelstrom. In fact, 00:07:44.290 --> 00:07:47.509 I remember an eager young ensign in a hurry knocking 00:07:47.509 --> 00:07:49.649 over three people in the corridors on his way 00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:52.870 to the shuttle bay. Problem, I'm not supposed 00:07:52.870 --> 00:07:56.339 to remember you. And I'm not sure why. I would 00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:59.500 even venture to guess you have some gaps in your 00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:01.980 memory as well. I would ask you to keep this 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:04.459 letter to yourself. I don't know who caused my 00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:07.079 memory gap. And I would recommend you trust no 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.759 one. The Resilience has a diverse and multi -talented 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.759 crew. Each person knows the meaning of loyalty 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.379 and duty. They would give their lives if so ordered. 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.920 I pray it would never come to that. But of all 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.480 things about the Resilience, There is one thing 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.860 which is infinitely more precious. She's the 00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:30.100 key to the mystery. She is of utmost importance. 00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:33.100 If something were to happen to her, all would 00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:36.100 be lost. Protect her with your life, Captain. 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.700 The lives of you, and your crew, depend on it. 00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:45.139 Godspeed, Captain. Sincerely, Captain Tum Kohlan. 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.700 Captain to the bridge. We are approaching the 00:08:49.700 --> 00:09:17.139 rendezvous. Acknowledged. More out. Report. We're 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:22.039 coming into visual range now, sir. On screen. 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:29.639 That is a big ship. The universe class vessels 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.620 are some of the best science ships in the fleet. 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:34.779 But I get what you're saying, Lieutenant. That 00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:41.500 is a beautiful ship. Sir, we're being hailed 00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:46.179 by the Zelenskyy. Oh good. On screen, Mr. Gazig. 00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:50.539 Captain Lawson. Starfleet is still letting you 00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:53.360 roam the galaxy. I don't roam as far as I used 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.519 to. Nowadays, they keep me on a pretty short 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.620 leash. Starfleet says you have a neat trick for 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:02.179 us. What do your engineers think? Well, the Corps 00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:04.340 of Engineers is pretty confident that it should 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:07.120 fool your sensors. We should be able to get the 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.899 show started at 1200 hours. Sounds good. We'll 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:15.299 see you then. Lawson out. Commander, you're with 00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:28.240 me. Commander Vek, you have the bridge. Engineering. 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.740 Anything new to report on the matter I asked 00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:36.500 you about? Nothing new to report, sir. One thing 00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:38.919 they never tell you about a new command is to 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.320 be ready for the mysteries of the ship. There 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.820 is always some sort of plot twist to complicate 00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:49.840 everything. Sir? It's nothing. Something of a 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.679 mystery which was presented to me earlier. I'm 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.659 not at liberty to talk about it yet, but believe 00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:58.799 me though... This is something which might need 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.879 both of us to figure out. Consider this. What 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.820 makes the resilience special? Special, sir? Unfortunately, 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.580 that's all I can share right now. But rest assured, 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.440 I do plan on sharing this with you, Commander. 00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:48.690 Captain. Commander. Sir. Ma 'am? Commander Straan. 00:11:49.230 --> 00:11:52.529 Lieutenant. Where do we stand on the cloaking 00:11:52.529 --> 00:11:57.029 device? Well... I believe we will be ready, sir. 00:11:57.710 --> 00:12:00.009 We've noticed a slight variance in the power 00:12:00.009 --> 00:12:02.710 systems, but we believe we should be able to 00:12:02.710 --> 00:12:06.110 compensate for it manually. Do you agree, Lieutenant? 00:12:08.950 --> 00:12:12.590 Yes, sir. We should be able to manage the fluctuation 00:12:12.590 --> 00:12:17.750 manually. Okay. If you believe you have it under 00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:20.929 control, we'll continue with the test. Phase 00:12:20.929 --> 00:12:25.029 1 testing begins at 1200 hours. Aye, Captain. 00:12:27.830 --> 00:12:45.440 Aye, Sir. Commander? Lieutenant, follow me. Yes, 00:12:49.299 --> 00:13:07.679 sir. Your emotions are betraying you again, Lieutenant. 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.840 Explain yourself. Sir, I know you said the variance 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.980 is something which could be controlled manually, 00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:19.600 but I think there's more to it than what we've 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.539 taken into account. Do you doubt my abilities? 00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:27.500 No, sir. Everything I know about engineering, 00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:31.200 I learned from you. I'm just pointing out in 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.139 the simulations I ran, the results were catastrophic. 00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:38.200 I just thought the captain and the commander 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.580 had the right to know. In this engineering department, 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.580 I am in charge. There is a hierarchy and a structure. 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.539 Your place in the structure is to have loyalty 00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:52.340 to the department and to me. Is that clear, Lieutenant? 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.639 Aye, sir. We will need to work on your emotional 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:35.710 control later. Dismissed. Aye, sir. Bridge. Did 00:14:35.710 --> 00:14:38.990 you see that, or am I just reading too much into 00:14:38.990 --> 00:14:41.789 the situation? If you mean the tension between 00:14:41.789 --> 00:14:45.009 Straan and Lieutenant Maysha, then yes, it was 00:14:45.009 --> 00:14:49.950 quite obvious. Okay, good. It wasn't just me. 00:14:50.929 --> 00:14:53.750 I'd like you to investigate this further. If 00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:55.730 there's something more here which has an impact 00:14:55.730 --> 00:14:58.720 on the tests and the ship... I'd rather know 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:08.639 sooner than later. Agreed. For now, I'm obliged 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.879 to take the chief engineer's word the test is 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.980 ready to proceed. But, if there is more, I don't 00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:21.000 want to be surprised later. I'll see to it, sir. 00:15:28.889 --> 00:15:32.309 Strand to bridge. This is the bridge. Go ahead, 00:15:32.389 --> 00:15:35.090 commander. Sir, we have completed our final tests 00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.629 on the device. I believe we are ready to begin 00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:40.690 the phase one trials. Very good, commander. Stand 00:15:40.690 --> 00:15:44.470 by to cloak. Bridge out. Lieutenant Gazig, signal 00:15:44.470 --> 00:15:46.929 the Zelenskyy. We'll be ready to begin the test 00:15:46.929 --> 00:15:50.950 in a few minutes. Aye, sir. Lieutenant Colt, 00:15:51.429 --> 00:15:54.549 bring us about, put us 10 ,000 kilometers away 00:15:54.549 --> 00:15:57.429 from the Zelenskyy. Aye, sir. Engaging thrusters. 00:15:57.710 --> 00:16:01.210 Coming about. Sir, the Zelenskyy acknowledges 00:16:01.210 --> 00:16:03.470 and they're standing by. Thank you, Lieutenant. 00:16:04.129 --> 00:16:07.509 Sir, we are now 10 ,000 kilometers off the Zelenskyy's 00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:10.990 port and reading all stop. Thank you, Helm. Open 00:16:10.990 --> 00:16:17.070 a ship -wide channel. Channel open, sir. All 00:16:17.070 --> 00:16:20.210 hands, this is the captain. In a few moments, 00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:23.690 we will make history as one of the few Federation 00:16:23.690 --> 00:16:27.460 ships to have ever used a cloaking device. We 00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:31.320 will be in uncharted waters. Stay alert. Be sure 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.440 to report anything unusual to your department 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.639 heads. Set yellow alert throughout the ship. 00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:42.539 More out. Yellow alert. Aye, sir. Mr. Gazig, 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.399 make us disappear. Aye, sir. Prepare to engage 00:16:46.399 --> 00:17:04.359 the cloak. Nothing up my sleeve. Presto! Report. 00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:08.980 Sir, we are now fully cloaked and should be invisible 00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:12.819 to the Zelenskyy. Okay, let's find out. Gazig, 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.920 open a channel to the Zelenskyy. Aye, sir. Channel 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.680 open. This is the Resilience calling USS Zelenskyy. 00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:23.519 Resilience, this is the Zelenskyy. You've done 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.759 it. We've lost all sense of contact with your 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.779 ship. Glad to hear that, Zelenskyy. We're going 00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:31.720 to maintain position and cloak for the next hour. 00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:34.490 just so we can be sure that this will work long 00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:37.369 -term. Roger, Resilience. Continuance since a 00:17:37.369 --> 00:17:41.210 scan. Roger, Resilience. Resilience out. Helm, 00:17:41.430 --> 00:17:43.450 maintain position. You have the bridge, Commander. 00:17:43.829 --> 00:18:13.940 Aye, sir. Computer, take the readings from the 00:18:13.940 --> 00:18:17.460 station and apply them to Simulation 3 Beta. 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:25.059 Working. Sample readings applied. Computer, using 00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:27.339 the readings from my workstation and applying 00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:31.119 them to the simulated Phase 2 test, would this 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.180 be the likely outcome? Affirmative. There is 00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:40.880 a 42 % likelihood of this occurring. What is 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.559 the margin of error of these findings? There 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:49.079 is a 0 .5 % margin of error. Computer, transfer 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:59.779 these files to my terminal in my quarters. Bridge 00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:11.609 to engineering. Engineering here, Captain. This 00:19:11.609 --> 00:19:15.289 is Strand. It's been an hour, Commander. Prepare 00:19:15.289 --> 00:19:20.589 to disengage the cloak. Aye, sir. Standing by. 00:19:21.809 --> 00:19:24.950 Mr. Gazig, disengage the cloaking device. Aye, 00:19:25.069 --> 00:19:41.049 sir. Disabling the cloak. Very good, Mr. Gazig. 00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:44.170 I want you to work with Engineering and the Zelenskyy 00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:46.609 to analyze the readings in preparation for phase 00:19:46.609 --> 00:19:51.049 two. Expect a full report in the morning, Commander 00:19:51.049 --> 00:20:05.329 Strand. Aye, sir. Bridge out. Captain, we are 00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:11.160 being held by the Zelenskyy. On screen. Captain, 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.500 phase one complete. We should have the full story 00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:17.680 in the morning. Sounds like a plan. Captain, 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.720 I'd like to invite you to dinner this evening. 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.160 Say, 1800 hours. I look forward to it. I'll see 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.019 you then. Resilience out. Be in my ready room, 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:42.720 Commander. You have the bridge. Computer, edit 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.240 most recent log recording. Continue recording. 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:50.019 Cactus log supplemental. We've completed phase 00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:53.000 one of our cloaking test. Thus far everything 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.380 appears successful with no major issues. Pending 00:20:56.380 --> 00:20:58.579 the final report from engineering in the morning, 00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:14.579 we should be cleared for phase two trials. What 00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:28.599 makes the resilience special? Come. Are you alright, 00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:32.880 Captain? Yes, it's just one of those mysteries 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.279 I can't figure out. How can I help you, Commander? 00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:41.960 It's 1745 hours. Captain Lawson will be expecting 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:49.210 you soon. I need to get ready. Computer. One 00:21:49.210 --> 00:21:56.930 bottle of Saurian and Brandy. I certainly don't 00:21:56.930 --> 00:21:59.529 want to arrive empty -handed. That would be bad 00:21:59.529 --> 00:22:25.309 manners. Walk me to the transporter room. Transporter 00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:31.750 room one. Any orders before you leave? Nothing 00:22:31.750 --> 00:22:34.569 comes to mind right now, Commander. Straan and 00:22:34.569 --> 00:22:37.329 his team are poring over the data. The only thing 00:22:37.329 --> 00:22:41.769 I can think of is just keep things running. Oh, 00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:43.910 there is one more thing I'd like you to think 00:22:43.910 --> 00:22:48.869 about. What makes the Resilience special? Yes, 00:22:49.170 --> 00:22:52.190 I remember. I have not thought of anything yet. 00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:56.960 I'm having a hard time coming up with an answer, 00:22:57.539 --> 00:23:00.980 too. I thought since you've been on board longer, 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:08.420 you might have some... special insight. I'll 00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:19.400 continue to think it over, sir. One to beam to 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.720 the Zelensky. The ship is yours, Commander. Aye, 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:47.170 sir. Energize. Maysha to Ch'rega. Ch'rega here. 00:23:47.549 --> 00:23:51.049 Go ahead. Commander, do you have a moment to 00:23:51.049 --> 00:23:54.950 talk? I... I have some things that I would like 00:23:54.950 --> 00:23:58.569 to go over with you. Yes, of course. When would 00:23:58.569 --> 00:24:01.930 you like to meet? I am available now if you have 00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:04.930 the time. Excellent. Would you like to meet in 00:24:04.930 --> 00:24:09.269 the captain's ready room? Actually, could we 00:24:09.269 --> 00:24:12.430 meet in your quarters? I'd like some place a 00:24:12.430 --> 00:24:16.710 little more private. Yes, that would be possible. 00:24:17.049 --> 00:24:19.710 I should be in my quarters in five minutes. Ch'rega 00:24:19.710 --> 00:25:07.940 out. Computer, blood wine. Mesa to Ch'rega. Ch'rega 00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:12.349 here, Lieutenant. Are you in your quarters? Yes, 00:25:12.349 --> 00:25:23.890 I am. I'm on my way. Lieutenant? I'm sorry for 00:25:23.890 --> 00:25:26.670 the unconventional arrival. I thought it would 00:25:26.670 --> 00:25:29.109 be best if no one knew I was meeting with you. 00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:33.650 This is most unorthodox, Lieutenant. But what 00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:35.509 do you mean you didn't want others seeing you 00:25:35.509 --> 00:25:39.980 meeting with me? To whom are you referring? Commander 00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:42.259 Straan was not happy I raised an objection to 00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:45.900 his plans. If you would take a look at my simulations, 00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:49.619 you'll see I have some very valid concerns. Very 00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:55.680 well, Lieutenant. Walk me through it. The cloaking 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.960 device is hooked into the structural integrity 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.660 field. This is fine for when we are sitting still, 00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:03.099 but notice what happens when we simulate going 00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:09.839 to warp while cloaked. Wait. Does this say what 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:13.599 I think it's saying? Yes, ma 'am. Under the strain 00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.000 of the ship at warp, the structural integrity 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.380 field works hard to keep the ship's composition. 00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:21.559 In order to support the structural composition 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:24.279 and the cloak, the field has to draw increased 00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.380 power. At times the strain is so bad we may not 00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:30.140 be able to maintain the cloak. But that's not 00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:33.980 the worst part of it. What would that be, Lieutenant? 00:26:34.870 --> 00:26:37.509 At the points where the cloak has to draw power 00:26:37.509 --> 00:26:41.210 to maintain itself, the computer tends to overcompensate 00:26:41.210 --> 00:26:44.789 for it and draws too much power. This can cause 00:26:44.789 --> 00:26:47.269 a feedback pulse to come back through the cloaking 00:26:47.269 --> 00:26:53.130 system and fries them. Hmm. If it could destroy 00:26:53.130 --> 00:26:56.690 the cloaking device, that's one thing. It doesn't 00:26:56.690 --> 00:26:59.750 sound like it will endanger the crew. Standing 00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:03.099 still or at impulse speeds, The danger of the 00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:07.240 feedback pulse is minimal. At warp speeds, the 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.440 pulse grows exponentially, and so with it the 00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.859 danger. That energy could come back through the 00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:17.859 station and do some serious damage. No, that's 00:27:17.859 --> 00:27:20.440 not good. We will have to speak to the captain 00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.019 about this. Thank you for bringing this to my 00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:28.000 attention, Lieutenant. Is there a way that maybe 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:33.549 you could tell him? I, uh... I really don't want 00:27:33.549 --> 00:27:39.369 Commander Straan angry at me. This is really 00:27:39.369 --> 00:27:43.029 going to make him mad that I came to you. Lieutenant, 00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:45.690 is there a problem I should know about in engineering? 00:27:48.329 --> 00:27:56.849 No, ma 'am. No, ma 'am. It's just that I owe 00:27:56.849 --> 00:28:01.109 a lot to Commander Straan. He's my mentor. Almost 00:28:01.109 --> 00:28:04.789 a second father. I know Vulcans don't show emotion, 00:28:04.809 --> 00:28:08.549 but I can tell when he's angry It's not pretty 00:28:08.549 --> 00:28:13.250 So is there a way you can tell the captain and 00:28:13.250 --> 00:28:17.190 leave my name out of it? It's highly unusual. 00:28:17.529 --> 00:28:19.349 This is not how things are going to be done on 00:28:19.349 --> 00:28:23.450 this ship mister Besides the captain is quite 00:28:23.450 --> 00:28:26.490 intelligent. He knows there are issues in engineering 00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:29.309 Things will probably be addressed after this 00:28:29.309 --> 00:28:38.130 mission But in this case, this one time, I will 00:28:38.130 --> 00:28:41.509 talk to the captain. I can't promise to keep 00:28:41.509 --> 00:28:44.509 your name out of it, but I will do everything 00:28:44.509 --> 00:28:48.849 I can to protect you from Straan. I'm not disloyal, 00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:54.170 Commander. I love this ship and its crew. They 00:28:54.170 --> 00:28:57.150 are my second family. I understand, Lieutenant. 00:28:57.829 --> 00:29:01.829 And no one is saying that about you. I know. 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:13.599 I -I just... Lieutenant Maysha. Maysha, it's 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:20.799 going to be okay. Look at me, May. I believe 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.539 you, May. Your loyalty to the ship and to its 00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:26.720 crew is not in question. I will share this with 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.019 the Captain and we will come up with a plan moving 00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:34.589 forward. Okay? Aye, sir. Good. I'll tell you 00:29:34.589 --> 00:29:36.849 what. You have several hours before the mission 00:29:36.849 --> 00:29:39.109 briefing. Go back to your quarters and get some 00:29:39.109 --> 00:29:43.930 rest. Consider that in order. Yes, Commander. 00:29:52.890 --> 00:29:56.890 Lieutenant, that's not the way you came in. Yeah. 00:29:57.869 --> 00:30:03.930 Right. Thank you, Ch'rega. Computer, site to 00:30:03.930 --> 00:30:21.809 site transport, program Maysha Alpha Two Pi. I 00:30:21.809 --> 00:30:25.450 must thank you again, Captain. That was quite 00:30:25.450 --> 00:30:29.049 a meal. You're welcome, but seriously, call me 00:30:29.049 --> 00:30:36.640 Liam. We're the same rank. Sorry. Liam. That's 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.839 okay. Have a seat. We can open up that bottle 00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:51.619 of brandy. So Nick, how has your first command 00:30:51.619 --> 00:31:08.160 been so far? Well... Now that's been two days 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.460 so far. There was a verbal sparring match which 00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:15.279 almost erupted into a brawl between two of my 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:20.980 senior officers, both of whom are Vulcan, and 00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:25.759 the former captain of the ship died. So I guess 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.519 for the most part I would say... uneventful. 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.960 I guess it shouldn't surprise me. That chair 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.059 can be a little overwhelming if you're not ready. 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:39.480 That's the thing. I was ready. At least I thought 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:42.599 I was. My first day in the chair, thinking I 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.119 was talking to my wife, I accidentally told an 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.759 admiral I loved them in front of the entire bridge 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.940 crew. By the end of my first week, the whole 00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:55.740 sector was calling me Captain Lover Boy. I guess 00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:59.339 I never expected things to be this... weird. 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.519 That same Admiral once gave me a good piece of 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.640 advice. We are Starfleet officers. Weird is part 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:11.099 of the job. So don't forget, no matter what happens, 00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:14.720 you were picked for that chair for a reason. 00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:19.079 Also, you have good people who work hard, so 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.420 rely on them to do their jobs. If they say they 00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:25.660 can do it, trust them. One of the jobs of a captain 00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:28.440 is to give their people the room to succeed or 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.180 fail if need be. It's how learning and growth 00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:37.740 happens. Thanks, Liam. I need to head out. I 00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:41.900 have an early mission briefing. Big day tomorrow. 00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:45.400 Gonna make the history books. Yeah, you better 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:52.440 get back. Thanks again, Liam. Good night. Good 00:32:52.440 --> 00:33:07.809 night, Captain. More to Ch'rega. Ch'rega here. 00:33:08.009 --> 00:33:10.750 Yes, Captain. I'm heading back to the ship now. 00:33:11.069 --> 00:33:13.930 Anything to report? Ship function is normal. 00:33:14.470 --> 00:33:16.009 Commander Straan said we should have a report 00:33:16.009 --> 00:33:20.190 in the morning on the cloaking test. I also had 00:33:20.190 --> 00:33:22.869 a visit from Lieutenant Maysha about some simulation 00:33:22.869 --> 00:33:27.190 she ran ahead of the test tomorrow. She has some 00:33:27.190 --> 00:33:30.690 concerns. If you would like, we could meet in 00:33:30.690 --> 00:33:32.970 the morning to go over what she said. Sounds 00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:35.740 like a good idea. I'll see you at the ready room 00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:49.640 at 0800. Aye, sir. Ch'rega out. One to beam to 00:33:49.640 --> 00:34:08.469 the resilience. Captain's Log, Stardate 212595 00:34:08.469 --> 00:34:12.710 .73. The resilience has made it through phase 00:34:12.710 --> 00:34:15.050 one of the cloaking tests with no incidents. 00:34:16.170 --> 00:34:18.389 Everything appeared to go according to the book. 00:34:20.110 --> 00:34:22.050 Today we'll be testing to see how the device 00:34:22.050 --> 00:34:26.289 performs at warp speed. I believe Commander Straan 00:34:26.289 --> 00:34:28.989 will advocate for a green light at the morning 00:34:28.989 --> 00:34:33.289 staff briefing. Lieutenant Maysha spoke with Commander 00:34:33.289 --> 00:34:36.760 Ch'rega last evening. She raised concerns ahead 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.059 of the test that point to some catastrophic results. 00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:44.039 After speaking with the commander, I agree her 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.699 concerns might be valid. This could put my first 00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:50.500 officer and I in a very precarious situation. 00:35:10.190 --> 00:35:13.110 Before we begin this morning, I know some of 00:35:13.110 --> 00:35:15.230 your departments have concerns which need to 00:35:15.230 --> 00:35:17.929 be addressed after yesterday's test. I'm going 00:35:17.929 --> 00:35:20.170 to ask you to send those concerns to Commander 00:35:20.170 --> 00:35:23.030 Ch'rega and she will allocate the appropriate 00:35:23.030 --> 00:35:31.050 resources. Any questions? I know there is one 00:35:31.050 --> 00:35:35.980 question on all of our minds. So I'm going to 00:35:35.980 --> 00:35:38.199 turn the floor over to Commander Straan to give 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:41.960 us the results of phase one of the cloaking test. 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:47.920 Commander? Thank you, Captain. As you can see, 00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:50.980 phase one of the test was a success. The logs 00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:53.219 from the Zelensky show we completely disappeared 00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:56.119 from their sensors. Plugging that information 00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:59.019 into our simulation for today's test, we project 00:35:59.019 --> 00:36:01.900 it will be another successful test. Thank you, 00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:06.400 Commander. There does seem to be another set 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.659 of results which were brought to the attention 00:36:08.659 --> 00:36:12.320 of Commander Ch'rega last night. For some reason, 00:36:12.699 --> 00:36:14.579 they seem to tell a different story than the 00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:18.539 information you just presented to us. Would you 00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:24.599 be able to explain them? I'm not sure, Captain. 00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:31.219 Would you care to explain, Lieutenant? Sir, after 00:36:31.219 --> 00:36:33.780 I spoke with Commander Ch'rega... I spoke to 00:36:33.780 --> 00:36:37.380 Commander Straan. We were able to work out a 00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:41.679 plan to combat the potential risk. Lieutenant, 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.159 are you positive? Last night you said there was 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.480 no way to compensate for the surge without considerable 00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.960 damage to the engineering systems. You were quite 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.980 certain about it. I would even say emotionally 00:36:54.980 --> 00:36:58.699 sure. I apologize for my outburst last night, 00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:02.849 Commander. I had let my emotional control slip 00:37:02.849 --> 00:37:07.670 away from me, and as a result, I may have exaggerated 00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:11.190 the results of my simulations. Okay, so let me 00:37:11.190 --> 00:37:14.710 get this straight. You're saying your conversation 00:37:14.710 --> 00:37:17.590 last night with Ch'rega was nothing more than 00:37:17.590 --> 00:37:22.389 an emotional outburst? Forgive me for stating 00:37:22.389 --> 00:37:25.849 the obvious, Lieutenant, but you're not a Vulcan. 00:37:27.070 --> 00:37:30.110 Last I checked, Orions were allowed to have the 00:37:30.110 --> 00:37:34.070 occasional emotional outburst. I'm sorry to our 00:37:34.070 --> 00:37:37.550 resident Vulcans, no offense. None taken, Captain. 00:37:38.969 --> 00:37:41.849 Offense is a human quality, Captain. However, 00:37:41.869 --> 00:37:44.250 I will be filing a formal protest with Starfleet 00:37:44.250 --> 00:37:46.989 concerning your comments here today. Lieutenant 00:37:46.989 --> 00:37:49.429 Maysha has chosen to live her life by the attendance 00:37:49.429 --> 00:37:53.320 of Surak and to follow the path of logic. Your 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.239 attempts to dissuade her and to minimize her 00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:58.760 for her beliefs is outrageous. You are out of 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:04.860 line, Commander. Hold on, Ch'rega. You certainly 00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:07.260 have that right, Commander, and I will be glad 00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:11.320 to submit the paperwork for you. But, there are 00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:16.420 lives at stake with this test. So, can you 100 00:38:16.420 --> 00:38:21.719 % guarantee it is safe to proceed? Can you guarantee 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:25.820 there will be no damage to the ship, injury to 00:38:25.820 --> 00:38:34.960 the crew, or loss of life? I can, Captain. Okay. 00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:38.460 I have my doubts you can actually deliver on 00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:41.940 your promise. In fact, I have half a mind to 00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:45.400 shut the whole damn thing down now. But since 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:48.960 you believe you can guarantee success... I will 00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:56.440 approve phase two of the test. The test will 00:38:56.440 --> 00:39:01.719 go ahead, Commander, but if there is any damage 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.239 to the ship, injury to the crew, or loss of life, 00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:08.960 I will hold you personally responsible and I 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:11.800 will make sure it stays on your permanent record 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:16.699 for the rest of my life and yours. Is that understood? 00:39:18.700 --> 00:39:26.599 Yes, Captain. Very good. Mr. Gazig, contact the 00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:30.019 Zelensky. Tell them we'll begin phase two testing 00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:37.000 at 1200 hours. Dismissed. Ch'rega, T'vel, would 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:47.090 you remain a moment, please? Would you both care 00:39:47.090 --> 00:39:49.869 to join me over the couch? Can I get anyone a 00:39:49.869 --> 00:40:02.530 drink? I'm fine. Computer. Coffee. Extra mocha. 00:40:02.909 --> 00:40:16.659 Two shots of espresso. Okay. I'm just going to 00:40:16.659 --> 00:40:22.780 put this out there. What the hell did we just 00:40:22.780 --> 00:40:26.440 witness? If Strawn were human, I would say he 00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:28.619 feels threatened by your authority, and your 00:40:28.619 --> 00:40:30.900 questioning his ability to safely manage these 00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:34.159 tests is creating a deepening pool of resentment. 00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.159 That does not explain Maysha's sudden flip -flop 00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.619 on the safety of this mission. She was sobbing 00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:44.059 in my quarters last night. It might, Commander. 00:40:44.510 --> 00:40:46.889 If you come at it from the premise that Straan 00:40:46.889 --> 00:40:50.829 has some sort of hold on her, notice how she 00:40:50.829 --> 00:40:52.989 apologized for the things he found offensive. 00:40:54.530 --> 00:40:59.210 Okay, so he has some sort of weird psychosexual 00:40:59.210 --> 00:41:03.650 grip on her? What can be done about it? He's 00:41:03.650 --> 00:41:06.070 not asserting dominance over her in a sexual 00:41:06.070 --> 00:41:10.460 way, but it is similar power dynamic. It's almost 00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:13.480 as though he's extending a master -subordinate 00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:17.300 relationship outward into their non -work time. 00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.079 Something like a teacher -student relationship? 00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:26.199 So what are our options? There really isn't a 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:29.199 lot you can do, sir. She is displaying classic 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.780 signs of a mind meld imprinting. Subjects of 00:41:32.780 --> 00:41:35.579 prolonged mind melds tend to adopt the personality 00:41:35.579 --> 00:41:39.480 and logic of the melder. If she's his student, 00:41:39.780 --> 00:41:41.880 there's nothing we can do to break the bond between 00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.340 them. Forcibly severing the connection would 00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:46.360 be worse than trying to remove her from dangerous 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:49.340 narcotics. What you saw last night, Commander, 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.920 was similar to a drug withdrawal. Withdrawal? 00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:57.539 Exactly. Non -Vulcans aren't trained from birth 00:41:57.539 --> 00:42:00.619 to follow the precepts of logic. Emotions can 00:42:00.619 --> 00:42:03.260 be suppressed in the Vulcan mind for a time. 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:06.730 They're still there. and closer to the surface 00:42:06.730 --> 00:42:10.070 than they would like to admit. For non -Vulcans, 00:42:10.329 --> 00:42:12.510 the emotional defense walls are not as thick 00:42:12.510 --> 00:42:15.789 as those of a Vulcan. When their walls finally 00:42:15.789 --> 00:42:19.170 drop, you're looking at a tsunami of emotions 00:42:19.170 --> 00:42:24.090 that can wreak havoc on a person. My god. What 00:42:24.090 --> 00:42:27.769 have I done? Honestly, sir, you did the only 00:42:27.769 --> 00:42:30.909 thing you could. By forcing his hand, you made 00:42:30.909 --> 00:42:33.389 Straan realize he could be putting his star pupil 00:42:33.389 --> 00:42:36.820 in danger. So we just sit back and let things 00:42:36.820 --> 00:42:41.900 happen, no matter what? Yes, Commander. The Captain 00:42:41.900 --> 00:42:45.360 has called his bluff. If you back out now, you 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.960 played right into his hands, and he will have 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:51.579 all the power on this ship. Captain, you must 00:42:51.579 --> 00:42:53.719 take a stand here or you will fail at your first 00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:56.860 command. Prove to him that you won't flinch by 00:42:56.860 --> 00:43:02.659 calling off the test. Okay. The test will commence 00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:09.190 no matter what. Angels and ministers of grace 00:43:09.190 --> 00:43:18.250 defend us. Ensign, you keep an eye on the flow 00:43:18.250 --> 00:43:21.670 regulators. Lieutenant Frye, I need you to make 00:43:21.670 --> 00:43:32.650 sure the intermix ratio stays in balance. Commander. 00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:44.619 Yes, Lieutenant. How can I help you? I've not 00:43:44.619 --> 00:43:50.179 received an assignment for the test, sir. I was 00:43:50.179 --> 00:43:52.039 under the impression you did not wish to help 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:56.980 with the test. No, sir. I've always wanted to 00:43:56.980 --> 00:44:02.380 be part of this test. Really? It wasn't obvious. 00:44:03.219 --> 00:44:05.820 In fact, one would have thought you were working 00:44:05.820 --> 00:44:09.639 against your shipmates on this test. No, sir. 00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:12.960 I want to be part of this team. It is my sole 00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:17.739 purpose in life. Very well, Lieutenant. Where 00:44:17.739 --> 00:44:22.820 do your loyalties lie? My loyalty is to you, 00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:26.059 engineering and this ship in that order, sir. 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.519 Very good, Lieutenant. You can check the power 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:33.000 flow to the device at the station here, next 00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:47.670 to me. Thank you. Sir. Computer, what is the 00:44:47.670 --> 00:44:52.429 current time? The current time is 1157 hours. 00:44:53.070 --> 00:44:55.570 Well, it's nearly time. We should probably get 00:44:55.570 --> 00:45:01.690 started. Wouldn't you agree? yas wa’DIch. Captain. 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:05.019 Did you learn the Klingon phrase for First Officer 00:45:05.019 --> 00:45:07.199 just so you wouldn't have to keep calling me 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.840 Commander? Actually, remember that girl I told 00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:14.059 you that I dated? I picked up a few things from 00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:17.719 her before she broke up with me. I'm impressed. 00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:20.099 How long have you been working up the nerve to 00:45:20.099 --> 00:45:23.300 say that to me? Oh, I've been workshopping it 00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:25.840 since the morning meeting. Figured it was now 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:29.199 or never. Although, now that I hear it out loud, 00:45:30.019 --> 00:45:32.300 I think I'm going to shorten it to just... What 00:45:32.300 --> 00:45:35.500 each. It rolls off the tongue better. Wouldn't 00:45:35.500 --> 00:45:40.320 you agree? be' Qochbe’. Alright then. What 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:45.639 each it is. Now, on to more pressing business, 00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:51.880 Commander. Bridge to Engineering. Strand here, 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.519 Captain. It's nearly 1200 hours, Commander. Are 00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:59.139 you ready to begin? Aye, sir. We're ready whenever 00:45:59.139 --> 00:46:03.960 you are. Very good, Commander. Stand by. Mr. 00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.000 Gazig, inform the Zelenskyy we will be getting 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:11.579 underway in momentarily. Aye, sir. Lieutenant 00:46:11.579 --> 00:46:14.579 Colt, bring us about and prepare to go to warp 00:46:14.579 --> 00:46:18.679 one. Aye, sir. Sir, the Zelenskyy acknowledges 00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:22.079 and says they're standing by. Also, they say, 00:46:22.420 --> 00:46:26.360 happy hiding. Thank you, Gazig. Open a ship -wide 00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:31.400 channel, please. Aye, sir. Channel open. All 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:36.539 hands, this is the captain. Yesterday, we joined 00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:39.900 a short list of Federation ships who have successfully 00:46:39.900 --> 00:46:44.039 used a cloaking device. Today, we plan to make 00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.440 an even shorter list of ships who have used a 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:50.000 cloaking device at warp. We're going to need 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:53.179 everyone to keep their eyes open for any anomalous 00:46:53.179 --> 00:46:56.679 events. Engineering will be monitoring the systems 00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:59.639 closely, but they won't be able to see everything. 00:47:00.250 --> 00:47:04.050 So stay focused, stay alert, and report anything 00:47:04.050 --> 00:47:09.630 unusual. Bridge out. Mr. Gazig, engage the 00:47:09.630 --> 00:47:12.110 cloak. Keep the Zelenskyy apprised of our speed 00:47:12.110 --> 00:47:15.730 changes. Lieutenant Colt, as soon as we're fully 00:47:15.730 --> 00:47:19.269 cloaked, engage the engines at warp one. Aye, 00:47:19.409 --> 00:47:38.639 sir. Engaging cloak. We are now fully cloaked. 00:47:39.179 --> 00:47:50.039 Course set. Engaging at warp one. The Zelensky 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:56.920 is matching our speed and trajectory. Report. 00:47:57.860 --> 00:48:00.780 All systems are showing green, sir. Power output 00:48:00.780 --> 00:48:04.300 is showing nominal. The Zelensky is hanging at 00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:08.289 our starboard aft. They report no sensor contact 00:48:08.289 --> 00:48:13.250 with the resilience. Sir, we're receiving a green 00:48:13.250 --> 00:48:15.409 light from engineering to move up to warp two. 00:48:16.150 --> 00:48:19.889 Okay, Lieutenant Colt. Take us to warp two. Warp 00:48:19.889 --> 00:48:34.130 two, aye, sir. Report. All systems are still 00:48:34.130 --> 00:48:37.619 showing green, sir. Power output is still nominal 00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:40.679 and the Zelensky still reports no sensor content. 00:48:41.820 --> 00:48:47.119 Two down, seven to go. Sir, engineering reports 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.920 we are clear to go to warp three. Alright, take 00:48:50.920 --> 00:49:01.739 us to the next level Mia. Leveling up, sir. Report. 00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.440 Sir. We are experiencing power fluctuations in 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.539 the cloaking system. Engineering is working to 00:49:08.539 --> 00:49:11.699 compensate. The Zelenskyy reports intermittent 00:49:11.699 --> 00:49:14.599 contact with the resilience. They say it's like 00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:16.840 the ship is un -cloaking and re -cloaking at 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:24.659 random times at various places. More destruction. 00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:27.099 We're getting shaken around up here, Commander. 00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.559 What's happening? We're seeing some issues with 00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:32.250 power fluctuations of the cloaking device. We 00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:33.969 should have a track down in a moment, Captain. 00:49:35.010 --> 00:49:37.730 Lieutenant, report! Attempting to compensate 00:49:37.730 --> 00:49:44.030 for the fluctuations in the power draw. Engineering, 00:49:44.110 --> 00:49:47.469 what's happening? Stand by, Bridge. Lieutenant. 00:49:48.150 --> 00:49:49.909 Adjusting the flow of the power to the cloaking 00:49:49.909 --> 00:49:56.949 device. Now! Strand to Bridge. You should now 00:49:56.949 --> 00:50:01.280 have a smoother ride. Acknowledged, Straan. Gazig, 00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.599 what does the Zelenskyy say? The Zelenskyy confirms 00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:08.139 our cloaking build has stabilized. We are completely 00:50:08.139 --> 00:50:12.260 hidden from their sensors. More distraught. Are 00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:15.559 we safe to proceed to warp four? I believe you 00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.059 should be safe to go to warp four. I'm going 00:50:18.059 --> 00:50:20.940 to hold you to that, commander. Lieutenant Colt, 00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:25.400 take us to warp four. Aye, sir. Warp four. And 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:34.110 crossing my fingers. Gazig, report. Sir, the 00:50:34.110 --> 00:50:36.329 Zelensky reports we are still hidden from their 00:50:36.329 --> 00:50:43.809 sensors. Captain, the Zelensky says the ship 00:50:43.809 --> 00:50:46.449 is now breaking through the cloak. Our sensors 00:50:46.449 --> 00:50:49.050 report there's something buckling in the hull. 00:50:54.510 --> 00:50:58.469 Brigid Engineering, what's happening? Lieutenant 00:50:58.469 --> 00:51:03.250 Maysha. We need to get this under control. Working 00:51:03.250 --> 00:51:06.210 on it sir. I'm going to try narrowing the power 00:51:06.210 --> 00:51:23.610 flow to the device. Strand to bridge. We believe 00:51:23.610 --> 00:51:26.780 we have it smoothed out. I ask you to give us 00:51:26.780 --> 00:51:28.800 a couple of minutes before attempting to go to 00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:33.880 warp 5. Acknowledged, commander. Helm, hold steady 00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.320 at warp 4 so engineering can work out the kinks. 00:51:36.780 --> 00:51:40.360 Aye, sir. Maintaining cruising speed. How's she 00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:43.739 looking, Gazig? She's looking green, sir. The 00:51:43.739 --> 00:51:46.119 Zelenskyy reports the cloak is rendering us, hidden 00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:52.500 from their sensors. Talk to me, Gazig. What's 00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:56.409 going on? Captain! I'm reading the feedback pulse 00:51:56.409 --> 00:52:03.309 from the cloaking device. Bridge to engineering. 00:52:03.789 --> 00:52:05.909 Commander, we have some dangerous readings up 00:52:05.909 --> 00:52:08.329 here. Are you seeing it down there? Aye, Captain. 00:52:08.449 --> 00:52:10.909 Are we seeing it? Let the Captain know I'm on 00:52:10.909 --> 00:52:13.570 it, Commander. I believe I can stabilize the 00:52:13.570 --> 00:52:15.570 energy flow before the pulse gets too large. 00:52:16.070 --> 00:52:19.670 I've always got it. This is exactly what her 00:52:19.670 --> 00:52:22.349 simulation showed. How could I have let this 00:52:22.349 --> 00:52:26.380 get so far out of hand? Lieutenant! Get away 00:52:26.380 --> 00:52:28.360 from that workstation! I've almost got it sir, 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:30.360 just a few more seconds! You don't have a few 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:33.340 more seconds! Now! I've just about got it! Now 00:52:33.340 --> 00:52:36.440 Lieutenant! That is an order! Another second 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.639 and I have it! Now Maysha! Bridge to engineering! 00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:42.760 Engineering report! Mia, all stop! I've got 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:44.719 it sir! Tell the Zelensky, we're pulling the plug! 00:52:45.059 --> 00:52:46.760 Sir! Commander, you're with me! Commander, you 00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:51.739 have the bridge! Hailey, cut power to the close! 00:52:52.119 --> 00:53:03.820 Pull the damn plug if you have to! Sir, are you 00:53:03.820 --> 00:53:08.980 okay? Triga to sickbay. Medical emergency. Four 00:53:08.980 --> 00:53:22.639 to beam to sickbay. Ch'rega, help me get him 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:31.719 on the bio -bed. What happened? Anyone? May! 00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:36.320 He took an electrical discharge from a cloaking 00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:39.380 device for a workstation. He pushed me out of 00:53:39.380 --> 00:53:42.579 the way. Just in time, he risked his life for 00:53:42.579 --> 00:53:45.760 me. Instant maid, get me 10 cc's of Cortolin. 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:49.219 Yes, doctor. I'm reading third -degree burns 00:53:49.219 --> 00:53:51.869 over 80... 97 % of his body. If he were human, 00:53:51.889 --> 00:54:01.130 he'd be dead. Here's the Cordrazine, doctor. Commander! 00:54:01.590 --> 00:54:05.750 Commander Straan! Do you hear me? Corticoid stimulator. 00:54:05.989 --> 00:54:08.429 Prepare five cc's of Cordrazine. What's going 00:54:08.429 --> 00:54:10.650 on here? There was an accident in engineering. 00:54:11.130 --> 00:54:12.869 Commander Straan was burned by an energy surge. 00:54:13.010 --> 00:54:15.210 Get me a hypospray of Kelotane. Relay that. 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.500 Continue with the cortical stimulator. Belay 00:54:17.500 --> 00:54:20.239 that. This is my sickbay and my patient. Then 00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:22.440 act like it, instead of hiding in your office 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:25.760 all damn day. You are relieved, Lieutenant. Doctors, 00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:28.320 now is not the time for this. I'll handle this, 00:54:28.539 --> 00:54:30.800 Captain. At least you will be doing something 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.960 outside of your office. Doctor, he's responding 00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:38.079 to cortical stimulation. Good work, Ensign. Commander, 00:54:38.420 --> 00:54:41.280 rest. There's been an accident and you are in 00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:49.550 sickbay. Lieutenant Maysha? She's fine, sir. 00:54:49.789 --> 00:54:52.610 You saved her life. Right now I'm treating you 00:54:52.610 --> 00:54:55.630 for third degree burns. She's still my patient, 00:54:55.849 --> 00:54:58.590 doctor. Now is not the time for this, doctor! 00:55:03.590 --> 00:55:17.480 Maysha? I'm here, sir. I... I... I'm sorry. Please 00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:22.559 forgive me. I do commander You saved my life. 00:55:23.900 --> 00:55:27.300 I Couldn't have a grudge against you Now you 00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:31.739 need to save your strength and get better Captain 00:55:31.739 --> 00:55:42.519 more rest commander Captain You you were right 00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:46.019 it's not about being right or wrong strung Save 00:55:46.019 --> 00:56:19.159 your strength. That's an order Doctor yes Here, 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:53.139 Strum. My friend? Old friend. I'm here. He's... 00:56:53.139 --> 00:57:23.920 dead.
