WEBVTT

00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:05.799
Previously on Starship Resilience. Lieutenant

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.359
Maysha Baker, sir. Chief Engineer's assistant.

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:11.300
Back on the Intrepid, I had a group of ladies

00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.060
who would meet regularly for drinks and to be

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:16.559
a means of support. Oh, trust me, it will be

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.769
fun! When I said that the captain doesn't believe

00:00:19.769 --> 00:00:22.530
in having a relationship with someone under his

00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:26.469
command, he believes that the same rule applies

00:00:26.469 --> 00:00:29.769
to everyone on his ship as well. So if you are

00:00:29.769 --> 00:00:32.329
involved with someone under your command, you

00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:36.210
might want to extricate yourself from the entanglement.

00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:42.210
Yes, perhaps you are right. I am in control of

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:47.219
my emotions. Computer! Emergency override. Lieutenant

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:49.700
Maysha's quarters. T'vel, get the medics up here.

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.119
The lieutenant is suffering from an emotional

00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.560
breakdown. You wouldn't know how to be a chief

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.359
medical officer. At least I wouldn't hide in

00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.740
my office every day. All you do is criticize

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:02.460
my work. I could get more useful medical advice

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.260
from waist extraction. That would explain your

00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:07.700
bedside manner. Can I get you something to drink?

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.099
No, I'm fine, thank you. I'm here to see how

00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:15.030
you're feeling, Lieutenant. I feel fine. Why

00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:16.730
does everyone keep asking me that? Because a

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:19.829
few hours ago, Ch'rega and T'vel had to break

00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:22.129
into your quarters to get you to sickbay. You

00:01:22.129 --> 00:01:24.890
appear to be having a nervous breakdown. So this

00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:27.750
was your handiwork, Lieutenant? This was my station,

00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:30.230
sir. But I was attempting to control a massive

00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:32.609
power surge which nearly destroyed a significant

00:01:32.609 --> 00:01:35.409
portion of engineering. Did you earn that uniform?

00:01:35.590 --> 00:01:38.609
I bet your dirty little Orion fingers stole it.

00:01:39.209 --> 00:01:43.030
Welcome, Captain Moore. Commander Ch'rega. Who

00:01:43.030 --> 00:01:45.450
is it, child? Captain Moore and Commander Ch'rega.

00:01:45.629 --> 00:01:47.629
I told you I had voices in the hallway, Daddy.

00:01:48.049 --> 00:01:51.150
Well, tell them to come in, Maysha. Yes, Daddy.

00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:54.549
Come in, we're taking up dinner. About that drink?

00:01:55.069 --> 00:02:00.030
Yes. Make it a double. And now, Episode 5, Ladies'

00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:07.769
Night. It inspired me to find a way to get in

00:02:07.769 --> 00:02:10.449
the way. And I got in trouble. Good trouble.

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:19.610
Necessary trouble. Good evening, Nick. Ch'rega.

00:02:20.669 --> 00:02:27.490
Is that for after dinner? Uh, yes. Yes, it is,

00:02:27.610 --> 00:02:32.270
sir. Please, both of you, no titles today. Feel

00:02:32.270 --> 00:02:39.490
free to call me Michael. Yes, Michael. Daddy

00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:42.810
outdid himself this time. Doesn't it all smell

00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:50.979
so wonderful, Ch'rega? Yes. Yes, it does. Oh,

00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.219
the engineers deserve all the credit. I've always

00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:56.379
found it hard to get the replicator to correctly

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.840
make corned beef and cabbage. I did find a group

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.000
of Irish engineers who were able to program a

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.460
close facsimile. It was my dear sainted mother's

00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:09.719
recipe. Wait a minute. I need to ask about the

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:17.039
elephant in the room. Daddy? Aye. Daddy. Yes,

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.800
Maysha is my daughter. What did you think? We

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.900
thought she was your daughter, just like you

00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:29.020
said. Right, Nick? Yes, absolutely. Completely

00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:32.080
where my mind was going. Well, I can't blame

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.819
you if you thought something else, Nick. Maysha

00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:36.840
finds it funny to dress up in her old school

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.780
uniform with the shirt tied in front and her

00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:41.099
hair in pigtails for these dinners, and call

00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.259
me Daddy as many times as possible. Especially

00:03:44.259 --> 00:03:46.759
when the guests don't know she is my daughter.

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:50.379
I used to get mad at her for it. But I could

00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:53.759
never stay mad at my little leprechaun. Now wait,

00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.539
everyone just calls you Maysha. And you said your

00:03:58.539 --> 00:04:01.759
last name was Baker. Baker is my dear wife's

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.360
maiden name. We figured it would be easier on

00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.539
her at the academy if no one knew she and I were

00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:10.740
related. So far, with a few minor problems, we've

00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:13.639
been able to keep her cover. And I must say,

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.939
she's grown into a beautiful young woman, and

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:19.839
one hell of an engineer. So, the incident during

00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.519
the inspection and engineering... It was all

00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.860
a skit we do when the captain and first officer

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:28.860
don't know she's my daughter. So, it was all

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:33.879
for our benefit? Yes. Sorry, Triga. It's actually

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.500
a lot funnier when Commander Straan was alive.

00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:41.160
But we had to improvise this time. It's sort

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.259
of our way of throwing everyone off the scent

00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:48.379
that we're related. A pox upon me, where are

00:04:48.379 --> 00:04:51.259
my manners? Everyone, take a seat and dig in.

00:04:51.420 --> 00:05:07.959
You must be starving. Dig in. Don't be shy. Hmm,

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.610
so Admiral... Michael. We were taking a look

00:05:13.610 --> 00:05:16.389
at the list of chief engineer candidates, and

00:05:16.389 --> 00:05:19.550
we had a few questions. Let me stop you right

00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:22.269
there. Nick, I appreciate your diligence, but

00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:25.389
in our house we have one rule. Leave work at

00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:29.670
the office. Dinner time is family time. My apologies.

00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:37.769
That's a very fair rule, sir. Well, here's a

00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:42.720
non -work -related question. How did Maysha become

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.480
part of Clan Kilgallon? Well, my parents were

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.480
officers on the Maelstrom. They died in a shuttle

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.819
accident. I had no living relatives and would

00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:59.160
have ended up in an orphanage. Since I was very

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.180
young at the time, the Kilgallons took me in

00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:06.779
and made me one of their own. Really? I was on

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:10.939
the Maelstrom too. What were their names? I don't

00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:14.279
remember any crashes when I was there. It was

00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.399
about a month or so before you joined the crew,

00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.699
Nick. Their names were Mero and Deycad Nasra.

00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:26.240
Forgive me. As a commanding officer, you never

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.279
get used to losing people under your command.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.459
The Nasras were a hard loss to the whole ship.

00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.120
There was no way I could let their only child

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.029
be raised in an orphanage. It's been my honor

00:06:38.029 --> 00:06:40.389
these many years to watch Misha grow into an

00:06:40.389 --> 00:06:43.310
intelligent young officer with a very promising

00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:56.430
career. Space. The final frontier. These are

00:06:56.430 --> 00:06:59.990
the voyages of the Starship Resilience. Our mission?

00:07:00.189 --> 00:07:04.050
To explore new mysteries and new horizons. To

00:07:04.050 --> 00:07:07.610
seek out new friends. and new wonders. To stand

00:07:07.610 --> 00:07:11.550
firm against whatever the universe throws at

00:07:11.550 --> 00:08:06.060
us. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now 2130 hours.

00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.439
Not to sound like too much of a cliche, but...

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.319
This old man needs to get to bed. Well, we have

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.279
an early morning, Michael. Thanks for a lovely

00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.779
evening. It was an honor to get to know you and

00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:25.980
your family. You're welcome, Nick. As for the

00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:28.540
family... I completely understand, Admiral. Mum's

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:31.430
the word. Maysha will be treated like any other

00:08:31.430 --> 00:08:34.730
officer under my command. Well, between you and

00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:37.330
me, Captain, don't be afraid to throw her in

00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:39.909
the brig every now and then. She can be a bit

00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:45.590
unruly at times. Daddy. Oh, I'm just kidding,

00:08:45.710 --> 00:08:48.870
my little leprechaun. We're going to see ourselves

00:08:48.870 --> 00:08:52.870
out, Admiral. Have a great night. You as well,

00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:56.690
Nick. And you too, Commander Ch'rega. Admiral,

00:08:56.950 --> 00:09:11.389
thank you for a pleasant evening. Tony's? Yes.

00:09:30.370 --> 00:09:35.409
Well, I'm just going to put this out there. I'm

00:09:35.409 --> 00:09:38.409
going to say overall, it was a pleasant evening.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:44.279
I mean, the meal was good, but things started

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.460
out weird. We had to do a lot of backtracking

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:56.399
just to get back to pleasant. Agreed. I don't

00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:57.980
want to say what I was thinking when we were

00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:03.679
greeted at the door. No, Ch'rega. I don't think

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.440
you need to say it. I believe we were both thinking

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:11.750
it. Long story short, this doesn't change how

00:10:11.750 --> 00:10:19.950
Mace is treated. Agreed. But it was still weird.

00:10:30.110 --> 00:10:33.269
Agreed. But my question is, how is she getting

00:10:33.269 --> 00:10:36.009
from her quarters - across the ship and to the

00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:39.090
Admiral's quarters, dressed like that, and no

00:10:39.090 --> 00:10:42.629
one saw her. Is she using the Jefferies tubes?

00:10:45.529 --> 00:10:49.269
It's not as complex as that, sir. Best not to

00:10:49.269 --> 00:10:58.049
ask too many questions. Captain's personal log.

00:10:58.509 --> 00:11:05.389
Stardate 212609 .13. Last night, Ch'rega and

00:11:05.389 --> 00:11:08.450
I were guests of Admiral Kilgallon and his daughter

00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:12.029
for dinner. It was truly a night of revelations.

00:11:12.149 --> 00:11:14.750
The commander and I are still trying to wrap

00:11:14.750 --> 00:11:18.529
our heads around it. Ch'rega seems convinced

00:11:18.529 --> 00:11:21.389
Admiral Kilgallon has some sort of ulterior motive

00:11:21.389 --> 00:11:25.809
for his visit. Whereas I can't support her assertion,

00:11:25.850 --> 00:11:29.669
I can't help feeling as though she might have

00:11:29.669 --> 00:11:32.429
some sort of insight into the situation I don't

00:11:32.429 --> 00:11:37.190
have. Until she can prove her feeling, or I see

00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:40.570
something myself, my loyalties still have to

00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:47.470
remain with the Admiral. Thank you all again

00:11:47.470 --> 00:12:00.309
for coming. Dismissed. Have you heard from Admiral

00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:04.299
Kilgallon yet? Not yet. I'm surprised he didn't

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:06.320
show up to be part of the morning staff briefing.

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:09.440
Although I imagine it won't be long before we

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.700
hear from him. Um, in regards to my comments

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:17.120
last night... No need, Ch'rega. We're all entitled

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.019
to our own opinions. You and I are not going

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:22.879
to agree on everything. That's why I asked you

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:30.659
to be my wa'DIch. Admiral, good morning. I trust

00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:34.090
you slept well. As well as a man of 67 can't

00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:36.950
sleep. I'm usually up a couple times a night.

00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:42.029
Can I get you anything? No, I'm fine. I know

00:12:42.029 --> 00:12:44.230
the two of you are split on how to move forward

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:47.029
with selecting a new chief engineer. I also know

00:12:47.029 --> 00:12:49.210
much of the split is because of the list of names

00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:51.690
I provided. It's not that we don't appreciate

00:12:51.690 --> 00:12:55.009
the offer, Admiral. Please, Commander, let an

00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:58.070
old man finish his thought. I have no vested

00:12:58.070 --> 00:13:01.409
interest in planting a spy on your ship. nor

00:13:01.409 --> 00:13:03.830
am I looking for an insider to keep tabs of every

00:13:03.830 --> 00:13:06.929
little thing which goes on. What I am doing is

00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:08.730
looking out for the both of you and the well

00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:12.629
-being of this ship and crew. I am offering a

00:13:12.629 --> 00:13:14.590
list of candidates who would be loyal to you,

00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:17.610
and loyalty is, above all else, the attribute

00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:20.870
which should define a Starfleet officer. You

00:13:20.870 --> 00:13:23.330
don't have to pick anyone off the list, but I

00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:25.649
think you would be doing yourselves a huge disservice

00:13:25.649 --> 00:13:28.110
to simply let any of these candidates slip through

00:13:28.110 --> 00:13:32.649
your fingers. There. I've said my piece about

00:13:32.649 --> 00:13:35.029
the candidate list. It's up to the two of you

00:13:35.029 --> 00:13:37.450
to decide on the best possible candidate, but

00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:39.549
I will say you could do far worse than a loyal

00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:42.970
officer in the position. The thing is, Admiral,

00:13:43.149 --> 00:13:46.009
we've only really begun to figure out what we

00:13:46.009 --> 00:13:49.309
want from a candidate in that position. I'm not

00:13:49.309 --> 00:13:52.330
saying we're rejecting your list outright, but

00:13:52.330 --> 00:13:56.090
I am saying when we know what we want, we'll

00:13:56.090 --> 00:13:59.509
compare our list to yours to see who matches

00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:04.840
up. It's not a no, it's a... we'll see. That's

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.820
all an old man can ask for. I do have one more

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:11.059
thing to discuss, but it's for your ears only,

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.159
Nick. So, if you will excuse us, Commander. The

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:21.399
men need to talk. Certainly, Admiral. Oh, before

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.980
you go, Commander, I do have one more thing for

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.779
the both of you. Not only would I ask that you

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:29.399
not tell people about Mace's connection to me...

00:14:29.450 --> 00:14:32.350
I do implore you not to mention it in your logs.

00:14:32.710 --> 00:14:34.929
I don't want that information to get out and

00:14:34.929 --> 00:14:37.590
she starts getting preferential treatment. And

00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:41.149
I know she feels the same way. Absolutely. Understood.

00:14:41.450 --> 00:14:45.149
Of course, Admiral. Thank you very much. I can

00:14:45.149 --> 00:14:47.470
rest easy knowing my little leprechaun is in

00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:50.429
safe hands. If there is nothing else, Admiral,

00:14:50.610 --> 00:14:52.809
I'll return to the bridge and relieve Commander

00:14:52.809 --> 00:14:55.649
Vek. That will be all, Commander. Thank you.

00:15:03.179 --> 00:15:05.799
I spent yesterday afternoon wandering the ship,

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:08.340
Nick. Getting to know your crew and watching

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:11.080
them work. Would you like to know what I heard?

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:15.460
I will admit I'm curious. They like you. I know

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:17.279
it's only been a week, but for the most part,

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.000
they like you. Obviously, you were dealt a pretty

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.240
bad hand with two deaths in the same week. But

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.159
they feel you've shown leadership and empathy

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.799
throughout it all. They believe that's a good

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.940
thing. You even got high praise from Tony in

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:34.179
the lounge. Being liked can be a good thing,

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:37.240
my boy. Don't get me wrong. But a leader can't

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.200
lead on the basis of being liked. You need to

00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.279
take the emotions they have and convert them

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.220
into loyalty. That's how you get a crew who would

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:47.080
fly the ship through the gates of hell and back

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.220
if you ordered it. That's how you become a great

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:53.340
leader and a great starship captain. Thank you

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:56.759
for your advice, Admiral. I guess since it's

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.120
only been a week, I'm still finding my style

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.799
to be the captain I was meant to be. And that's

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.379
fine, Nick. Do whatever it takes to find the

00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:07.960
balance. Just consider what I'm saying. I went

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.960
from a volunteer enlistee to rear admiral in

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.840
my career, so I must know a thing or two about

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:17.539
how to be a leader. You're right, sir. I'll think

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:20.480
about what you're saying. That being said, you

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.259
have two things going against you. And I only

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:25.200
say this because I want you to be aware of the

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.259
rumblings which are going on. The first is in

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:31.190
sickbay. The staff is unruly and very disrespectful

00:16:31.190 --> 00:16:34.490
of Dr. Narlin. He's doing what he can to manage

00:16:34.490 --> 00:16:37.190
a sickbay and keep the level of care high, and

00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:39.309
the staff is undercutting him at every opportunity.

00:16:39.889 --> 00:16:42.090
I've actually talked with some of the staff in

00:16:42.090 --> 00:16:44.629
the sickbay, and I've seen a few things firsthand.

00:16:45.629 --> 00:16:50.230
They paint a much different picture. They say

00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:52.490
Dr. Narlin is delinquent in the performance

00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:55.789
of his duties and only seems to be really interested

00:16:55.789 --> 00:16:58.980
in certain patients. Your daughter being one

00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:01.379
of them. I suppose much of what you're hearing

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:04.519
is coming from that bhreathnach, Dr. Flint. She's

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.900
a big part of the problem. She's disrespectful

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:10.140
and insubordinate. If she had done half the things

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:12.180
she's done when I was captain of the Maelstrom,

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:14.240
I would have put her off the ship at the next

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.279
starbase. She has no professional courtesy. I

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.420
see. I'll be sure to look into it further. You

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:25.809
do that, Nick. The other thing I want you to

00:17:25.809 --> 00:17:28.109
consider is dropping that woman as your first

00:17:28.109 --> 00:17:31.849
officer. She's got an agenda, and it's not good.

00:17:32.470 --> 00:17:34.690
She'll betray you the first chance she gets.

00:17:35.269 --> 00:17:38.029
You got her a step closer to the chair, and she

00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.930
can smell command. She will do whatever it takes

00:17:41.930 --> 00:17:44.210
to get rid of you, to get to the center seat.

00:17:44.589 --> 00:17:47.730
I have a list of qualified candidates who would

00:17:47.730 --> 00:17:50.930
make a perfect first officer for you. If nothing

00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:53.549
else, there's a chief helm officer out there.

00:17:53.950 --> 00:17:56.490
Who would make a better exec? She thinks she'd

00:17:56.490 --> 00:18:00.150
be a good first officer, too. Nick, what did

00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:02.849
I always say to you back on the Maelstrom? Don't

00:18:02.849 --> 00:18:04.710
be afraid to take it to the next level, Nick.

00:18:05.269 --> 00:18:08.369
It's right there. Just take it. That's right.

00:18:08.789 --> 00:18:11.490
Reach out and grab it where the sun don't shine.

00:18:12.029 --> 00:18:15.029
So what will it be, Nick? Are you going to reach

00:18:15.029 --> 00:18:19.849
for greatness? Send me the list. I'll take a

00:18:19.849 --> 00:18:22.910
look. That's the right choice, Nick. You won't

00:18:22.910 --> 00:18:26.230
regret it. Well, I think my work here is done.

00:18:26.690 --> 00:18:28.869
Besides, I think the Enterprise would like their

00:18:28.869 --> 00:18:32.150
shuttlecraft back. So, I'll be seeing you, Nick,

00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:34.450
my boy. Would you like me to escort you to the

00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:37.230
shuttle bay? No need. I can manage. If I can

00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:39.390
find my way around the Enterprise, I can find

00:18:39.390 --> 00:18:42.170
the way through the Resilience. And you have

00:18:42.170 --> 00:18:44.789
a ship to run. Keep up the good work, Captain.

00:18:45.069 --> 00:18:47.829
Thank you, Admiral. Safe journeys. To you as

00:18:47.829 --> 00:19:02.450
well, Nick. Admiral on the bridge. As you were.

00:19:02.710 --> 00:19:05.730
It was a pleasure to meet all of you. Especially

00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:09.190
you, Commander. I look forward to our next visit.

00:19:09.690 --> 00:19:20.769
As do I, Admiral. Mr. Gazig? Yes, ma 'am? I

00:19:20.769 --> 00:19:24.009
need your help, but... I would ask you to employ

00:19:24.009 --> 00:19:26.809
a degree of discretion during the process. How

00:19:26.809 --> 00:19:28.829
much discretion are we talking about, Commander?

00:19:29.589 --> 00:19:32.069
Let's just say the success or failure of this

00:19:32.069 --> 00:19:34.730
mission could decide who is in command of this

00:19:34.730 --> 00:19:38.549
ship in the future. So, it is important that

00:19:38.549 --> 00:19:40.710
the wrong people don't find out about what you're

00:19:40.710 --> 00:19:43.829
doing. Do you understand? Absolutely, Commander.

00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:46.490
What's the mission? There should have been a

00:19:46.490 --> 00:19:48.990
shuttle crash reported on the USS Maelstrom when

00:19:48.990 --> 00:19:52.299
Admiral King Gallen was in command. Two officers

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:56.420
involved in the crash were Mero and Decade Nasra.

00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.500
I need you to research the crash and verify the

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:03.339
information is accurate. Yes, ma 'am. I'll get

00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:06.519
right on it. It's best if you do not employ any

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.720
other personnel in this search. Consider the

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.500
possibility that individuals who would be unhappy

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:17.700
about you looking up this information might be

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:20.730
watching your activities. Yes, Commander. I'll

00:20:20.730 --> 00:20:40.170
begin right away. You miss sitting at the op

00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:45.289
station, don't you? I would be lying if I said

00:20:45.289 --> 00:20:49.269
I didn't. I felt the same way, about leaving

00:20:49.269 --> 00:20:53.150
the Intrepid. The universe seemed a lot simpler

00:20:53.150 --> 00:21:11.029
two weeks ago. Good evening, Captain. What can

00:21:11.029 --> 00:21:21.359
I get you? Captain? Tony to Captain Moore. More

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.619
here. Go ahead, Tony. Turn 90 degrees to starboard.

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:31.819
What? I'm sorry, Tony. I've got a million things

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:36.880
on my mind right now. I can see that. A mug of

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.039
Warnog for your thoughts? I'm not sure that'll

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:44.779
help. It's all command decisions. But I'll take

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:59.609
the Warnog, just the same. Coming right up. Here

00:21:59.609 --> 00:22:16.990
you go, Captain. Thanks, Tony. Hit me again,

00:22:17.029 --> 00:22:22.869
Tony. I take it things did not go well with Admiral

00:22:22.869 --> 00:22:28.279
Kilgallon? Oh, you could say that. He's suggesting

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.599
I make a few changes, which he thinks might be

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.539
a little more beneficial to the ship. I take

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:37.140
it these aren't changes you relish the thought

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:41.279
of making? Not particularly. But it's hard to

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.940
say no to the Admiral. He was my first captain.

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:48.779
And he's been an intern to me ever since. He

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:53.299
helped to guide my career. Honestly, I'm really

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:58.359
lucky to know him. But? But... If I go against

00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.819
him, what does that do to the vision I set up

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:06.019
for myself of what my first command would be?

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.720
Things may not have been perfect so far, but

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.720
am I still being true to myself? And that's important.

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:20.160
To thine own self be true, be your own man. But

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.740
I know he's just trying to help me succeed. Like

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:27.529
a good mentor. I get it. It's hard to meet your

00:23:27.529 --> 00:23:31.890
heroes. What do you mean? Kilgallon was your

00:23:31.890 --> 00:23:34.329
first captain on the first ship you ever served

00:23:34.329 --> 00:23:37.849
on, right? Yes. And you say he's been helping

00:23:37.849 --> 00:23:41.049
to shape your career by guiding you all the way.

00:23:41.410 --> 00:23:46.109
Right. So, sounds to me like you have a classic

00:23:46.109 --> 00:23:50.190
case of hero worship. No, I don't. Sure you do.

00:23:50.369 --> 00:23:52.950
You want to make a decision which will help the

00:23:52.950 --> 00:23:56.279
ship that is true to what you want. But also

00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.619
doesn't disappoint Kilgallon. You're conflicted.

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.819
Maybe you're right. I just need to think this

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:09.140
through. You've come to the right place. It's

00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:12.819
a quiet night here. That reminds me. Did you

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:15.819
see the Admiral while he was here? Actually,

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.960
he was here yesterday afternoon. Talked with

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.200
Dr. Narlin at a table away from the crowd. The

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.119
Doctor was really upset. He and the Admiral exchanged

00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.720
a few unpleasant words before calmer heads prevailed.

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:33.079
Could you hear what they were saying? My good

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.900
Captain, it's unethical for me to listen into

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:39.819
conversations my patrons are having. Not to mention

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:43.119
the various Starfleet rules. So what did they

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.670
say? Seriously, Nick, I can't tell you. It violates

00:24:47.670 --> 00:24:50.529
my ethical subroutines. Literally, the code of

00:24:50.529 --> 00:24:53.109
the bartender is an honor bound as the sanctity

00:24:53.109 --> 00:24:56.450
of the confessional. It's a sacred trust. Glad

00:24:56.450 --> 00:24:59.789
to know things are safe with you. I live to serve,

00:25:00.009 --> 00:25:24.049
Captain. Hello, Tony. Well, bless me, Doctor.

00:25:24.269 --> 00:25:27.490
And how are you this evening, Elizabeth? I've

00:25:27.490 --> 00:25:30.329
worked hard today, Tony. Now I want to drink

00:25:30.329 --> 00:25:34.130
hard. What can I get you, Lieutenant? Give me

00:25:34.130 --> 00:25:38.529
an Orion Hurricane. Make it a Category 5. You

00:25:38.529 --> 00:25:45.549
got it. Kind of slow in here tonight. Yeah, a

00:25:45.549 --> 00:25:49.549
little. Is that the captain over there? Yeah.

00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:52.609
He came in with a handful of pads and his head

00:25:52.609 --> 00:25:56.309
full of work trouble. Well, that's not healthy.

00:25:57.170 --> 00:26:00.069
Sounds to me like someone needs to make a house

00:26:00.069 --> 00:26:18.910
call. I'll see what I can do. You know you shouldn't

00:26:18.910 --> 00:26:25.519
do that. Hmm? What? You shouldn't do that. Do

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.920
what? You shouldn't replace interaction with

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:31.980
people with screen time. It's not healthy. Really?

00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.240
Why? As your doctor, I could suggest hundreds

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.960
of studies going back to the 21st century which

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.680
explain why isolating yourself behind the screen

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.279
of a data pad is bad for your social development.

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.819
Not to mention your mental wellness. It can even

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:51.059
affect whether or not you feel pretty. How would

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:53.740
it explain whether I view myself as pretty? To

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:57.220
be honest, I'm not entirely sure. Many of the

00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:00.019
studies focused on the lives of teenagers, particularly

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:03.619
teenage girls, using devices which were the forerunners

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:06.339
of adapter pads. It was back when these devices

00:27:06.339 --> 00:27:09.140
were beginning to take hold in society. Seems

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:11.279
like the people had little sense of moderation

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.700
and or self -control when it came to how much

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:16.569
they were viewing. Their lives started to revolve

00:27:16.569 --> 00:27:19.690
around a phenomenon known as social media, which

00:27:19.690 --> 00:27:22.130
created an artificial sense of jealousy concerning

00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:25.789
the lives of others they viewed. How did we survive?

00:27:26.269 --> 00:27:29.890
It is a mystery. I never got to ask you how things

00:27:29.890 --> 00:27:32.410
worked out with your patient, the one who had

00:27:32.410 --> 00:27:34.950
the accident on the holodeck the other day? Oh,

00:27:35.190 --> 00:27:38.089
Lieutenant Cutler. It was touch and go there

00:27:38.089 --> 00:27:40.710
for a while, but eventually we pulled her through.

00:27:40.970 --> 00:27:47.559
Good. Good, good, good. What am I doing? Please,

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:56.519
join me. This is quite a little datapad rampant

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.980
you've built for yourself. When is the enemy

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:01.859
due to attack? A lot of people don't know this,

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:05.299
but their attacks come without warning. They're

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:10.759
relentless and ruthless. Oh my, that sounds brutal.

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:15.930
What are you going to do? I say... We order another

00:28:15.930 --> 00:28:21.589
round of drinks and regroup. So, why are you

00:28:21.589 --> 00:28:24.710
hiding behind datapads in a bar? Is it that obvious?

00:28:25.569 --> 00:28:30.150
Yeah, a little bit. I've managed to find myself

00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:32.490
in the middle of two warring factions and I'm

00:28:32.490 --> 00:28:37.009
not sure what to do. Let me guess, one of those

00:28:37.009 --> 00:28:42.069
factions Admiral Kilgallon? Yes it is. How did

00:28:42.069 --> 00:28:45.819
you know? A lucky guess. Could I offer you some

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:50.460
free advice? I'd love some. Go with the other

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:55.140
side. Really? Are you sure? Positive. Wait, but

00:28:55.140 --> 00:28:58.059
what if... Doesn't matter. Go with the other

00:28:58.059 --> 00:29:02.099
side. Wow. He made that much of an impression.

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.400
In just the first few minutes talking to him.

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.519
I, um... I have to ask you a question. Okay.

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:16.289
And... I'm only asking because I have no idea

00:29:16.289 --> 00:29:19.529
what the answer is. It's okay, Captain. I'm a

00:29:19.529 --> 00:29:23.210
big girl. I can take it. Would you happen to

00:29:23.210 --> 00:29:28.789
know what the word bhreathnach means? Is that something

00:29:28.789 --> 00:29:34.049
you heard from the Admiral? Uh, yeah. Why am

00:29:34.049 --> 00:29:38.509
I not surprised? I don't understand. Oh, he was

00:29:38.509 --> 00:29:40.789
referring to me. Definitely talking about me.

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.339
Is it a racial term? It is, but not in the way

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:48.160
you're thinking, Captain. Bhreathnach lock refers less

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.519
to my ebony skin and more about where I'm from.

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:56.799
Uh, okay. It's an Irish word which refers to

00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:01.720
someone from Wales. Oh, okay. It's not as bad

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:05.140
as I thought. I mean, bad enough, but just not

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:09.660
as bad as I thought. What did he say? Uh... Basically,

00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:11.759
he thinks you're a troublemaker and I should

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.579
get rid of you. There was a girl in my class

00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:17.039
at primary school who called me a troublemaker

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:20.279
one time. Let's just say she didn't do it again.

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:22.019
Well, it's a good thing you became a doctor.

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:31.819
Possibly. So, you're from Wales? Yes, sir. I

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:35.359
was born and raised in Aberfan. I'm familiar

00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:38.589
with Aberfan. I dated a girl from Cardiff when

00:30:38.589 --> 00:30:41.910
I was at the Academy. We went up to Aberfan a

00:30:41.910 --> 00:30:46.430
few times. Beautiful area. It was a beautiful

00:30:46.430 --> 00:30:51.269
place to grow up. So, you dated a bhreathnach?

00:30:51.849 --> 00:30:56.390
You could say that. Her name was Sarah Brecken.

00:30:57.029 --> 00:30:59.329
Good evening, Lieutenant. I felt like she could

00:30:59.329 --> 00:31:01.789
be the one. What can I get for you tonight? It

00:31:01.789 --> 00:31:05.049
wasn't meant to be. Really? I had a really bad

00:31:05.049 --> 00:31:07.339
day, and I... What happened? I really need a

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:11.920
drink. Yeah, she was really special. My parents

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.180
loved her, but... It turned out we were both

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:17.480
too focused on our own careers to be good for

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.539
each other. Yeah. One of the fatal flaws of youth,

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:24.980
I guess. Last I knew, she was a lieutenant commander

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:31.000
and worked at Starfleet Command. I don't think

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:35.059
so, Tony. Bring me the good stuff. But enough

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:39.119
about my pain. What about you? Anyone who got

00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:42.980
away stories for Dr. Elizabeth Flint? Actually,

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:46.559
no. I've known what I wanted since I was a little

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:50.259
girl and I pursued it. Maybe someday I'll find

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:53.519
someone with whom I can settle down. Until then,

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:56.099
my brother and sisters are keeping the Flint

00:31:56.099 --> 00:32:00.880
family line going. It's funny your name is Flint.

00:32:01.690 --> 00:32:03.730
Flint is the name of the city near where I grew

00:32:03.730 --> 00:32:06.029
up. Are you kidding me? Oh, that's interesting.

00:32:06.849 --> 00:32:09.450
I'm going to need to excuse myself, Doctor. I'm

00:32:09.450 --> 00:32:13.230
sorry. This doesn't look good. I'm sorry. But

00:32:13.230 --> 00:32:15.309
all indications are that you have exceeded a

00:32:15.309 --> 00:32:22.750
safe amount of alcohol at the current time. Is

00:32:22.750 --> 00:32:26.309
there a problem, Lieutenant? What the hell? Get

00:32:26.309 --> 00:32:31.000
your hand off me! Oh. Oh, Captain. No,

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.799
sir, sorry. Sir, no, sorry. Well, it sure sounds

00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:37.579
like there was an issue from across the room.

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.380
The waiter is saying, I can't have another drink.

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:47.279
When in reality, I am perfectly fine. I'm perfectly

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.519
fine enough to decompile his program without

00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:55.519
breaking a sweat. This waiter has a name. It's

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:59.329
Tony. And in his bar, you will respect his authority

00:32:59.329 --> 00:33:05.130
in these matters. Am I clear? Yes, sir. How much

00:33:05.130 --> 00:33:09.869
have you had to drink, sweetie? I've only had,

00:33:09.910 --> 00:33:17.710
like, one, two, three, four... A couple of bottles

00:33:17.710 --> 00:33:20.970
in my quarters. Just a couple. You're going to

00:33:20.970 --> 00:33:22.690
have a wicked hangover in the morning, love.

00:33:22.869 --> 00:33:25.490
Come see me before you start your shift. If you

00:33:25.490 --> 00:33:27.769
stay in the lounge, I concur with Tony's assessment.

00:33:28.210 --> 00:33:30.349
Only non -alcoholic drinks for the rest of the

00:33:30.349 --> 00:33:33.849
night. Doctor's orders. You really know how to

00:33:33.849 --> 00:33:42.670
kill a party, Doc. But no one would have noticed

00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:45.450
anything, except for the Vulcan ambassador saying

00:33:45.450 --> 00:33:48.230
that was a highly illogical thing to do with

00:33:48.230 --> 00:33:51.630
a pineapple. At that point, everyone just lost

00:33:51.630 --> 00:33:55.329
it. Personally, I laughed so hard I was crying.

00:33:59.829 --> 00:34:07.930
Go find a table. I'll join you in a minute. Is

00:34:07.930 --> 00:34:13.010
everything okay, Captain? Not exactly. It would

00:34:13.010 --> 00:34:15.969
seem as though the lieutenant had quite a party

00:34:15.969 --> 00:34:19.619
this evening by herself. I was just about to

00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:22.760
order her to return to her quarters and head

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:26.340
straight to bed. Five more minutes, sir. Please.

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.780
If you would like, I can stay with her, sir.

00:34:31.260 --> 00:34:33.159
I'll make sure she gets back to her quarters

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:36.719
safely. Yeah, please, what she said, what she

00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.579
said. The Lieutenant and Dr. Flint are welcome

00:34:40.579 --> 00:34:44.400
to join us, Captain. I believe the four of us

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.599
will be able to watch out for her. If the four

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.940
of you are with her, I guess it should be okay.

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:53.579
Oh, thank you, Captain. You're a saint. Don't

00:34:53.579 --> 00:34:56.460
make me regret this, Maysha. Aye, aye, Skipper.

00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:03.460
Hey, ladies. Where's the party? Cheers! Woo!

00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:10.159
Woo! Thank you for your help, Doctor. Thank you

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:14.980
for the drink. Commander, can I have a moment,

00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:22.559
please? I don't know about you, but someone would

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:26.179
have a very hard time convincing me this event

00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:28.820
has nothing to do with our most recent visitor.

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:34.239
That would make sense, sir. She's a bright, young

00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.320
officer, and I would really like to set her up

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.280
for success, especially now that Strawn is out

00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:44.539
of the picture. So, if we're going to have future

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:48.710
visits from our previous guest, I really... Wouldn't

00:35:48.710 --> 00:35:51.349
want this to become a reoccurring thing. Would

00:35:51.349 --> 00:35:54.909
you agree? Absolutely. It doesn't help her at

00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:56.590
all if someone else has to pick up the pieces

00:35:56.590 --> 00:35:59.510
after every visit. I know she'll probably fight

00:35:59.510 --> 00:36:03.769
you on it, but see if you can somehow steer her

00:36:03.769 --> 00:36:07.670
towards talking with T'vel. I know she was more

00:36:07.670 --> 00:36:10.590
comfortable with Straan, but he's not an option

00:36:10.590 --> 00:36:15.989
anymore. Whatever's going on in her head is deeply

00:36:15.989 --> 00:36:19.460
rooted in... It's probably going to continue

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:22.679
causing problems in her real life. I'll do what

00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.239
I can, sir. Okay. I have some things to consider,

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.280
so... I'll let you get back to your colleagues.

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:37.559
Lieutenant Colt calls it a ladies' night. I don't

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.820
know if this is supposed to be fun or not. You'll

00:36:39.820 --> 00:36:42.860
do fine, Ch'rega. At least you're on board the

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:46.840
ship. There's less chance of needing a snake bite

00:36:46.840 --> 00:37:08.349
kit. For what? Good night, Ch'rega. May I take

00:37:08.349 --> 00:37:12.969
your orders, ladies? I'll have a Cuba Libre.

00:37:13.710 --> 00:37:19.199
Okay. And you? I'll tear water. Please. Excellent

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.360
choice, ma 'am. And... Hold on. Wait. Lady's

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.719
Night requires something a little stronger than

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:29.019
that. Actually, Quwat Milat do not imbibe strong

00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:32.719
drinks. And before you say I am not Quwat Milat,

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:36.739
I do live by the ways of the Order. Okay. You

00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:42.980
get a pass. And for you, Doctor. I'll have another

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:46.750
Orion Hurricane. Category 5. Oh. Oh, that sounds

00:37:46.750 --> 00:37:51.050
good, Liz. Good choice. And for you, Lieutenant?

00:37:51.369 --> 00:37:54.050
I think I'll have... She'll have coffee, black.

00:37:54.750 --> 00:37:59.070
Coffee, black. And maybe with a little bit of

00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:05.250
Irish cream. Belay that, Lieutenant. Just coffee,

00:38:05.610 --> 00:38:10.550
black. Great choice. And for you, Commander?

00:38:11.010 --> 00:38:15.619
Blood wine. May I say... An excellent choice.

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:21.920
I'll have those shortly. Coffee. Black. I sound

00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:28.679
like Admiral Janeway. Coffee. Black. Coffee.

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:35.139
Black. There's coffee in that nebula. Love it.

00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:43.599
What? Why is everyone looking at me? Lieutenant

00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.579
Colt. Captain Moore made a comment. We are of

00:38:46.579 --> 00:38:50.219
duty. Call me Mia. We are just a group of women

00:38:50.219 --> 00:38:54.239
hanging out. No ranks. Just a circle of ladies

00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:59.719
who support one another. Very well, Mia. Captain

00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.340
Moore just made a reference to the fact that

00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:05.440
we may not need a snakebite kit for this ladies'

00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:10.239
night. I will get him back for that. It was one

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.559
time. One time. And he never lets me forget.

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:18.860
Besides, we were planet side that time. No one

00:39:18.860 --> 00:39:21.860
has to worry about it this time. I must admit,

00:39:22.099 --> 00:39:25.340
when you invited me for Ladies' Night, I was

00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:29.559
unsure what to expect. Of course, the evening's

00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:33.380
activities thus far are unlike the primary definition

00:39:33.380 --> 00:39:37.780
the computer explained. What? Are you saying

00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:39.820
you looked up the definition of Ladies' Night

00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:45.070
in the dictionary? Yes. Okay, I'll buy. What

00:39:45.070 --> 00:39:47.989
were you expecting? According to my research,

00:39:48.289 --> 00:39:51.409
ladies' night generally refers to an evening

00:39:51.409 --> 00:39:55.210
where women get drinks at half price. In some

00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:59.090
places, the entertainment consisted of very muscular

00:39:59.090 --> 00:40:02.929
men with oiled -up bodies dancing on stage while

00:40:02.929 --> 00:40:05.349
they removed their clothing. Women would then

00:40:05.349 --> 00:40:09.570
stuff currency in something called a G -string.

00:40:10.510 --> 00:40:14.230
That sounds like a lot of fun. Okay, ladies.

00:40:14.369 --> 00:40:17.989
Here are your drinks. Alright, alright. Let's

00:40:17.989 --> 00:40:24.929
get this party started. Show me some skin. As

00:40:24.929 --> 00:40:29.989
you were, Lieutenant. The idea of Ladies' Night

00:40:29.989 --> 00:40:32.349
in this case is a chance for a group of women

00:40:32.349 --> 00:40:35.150
to meet together and talk about their lives,

00:40:35.289 --> 00:40:39.909
work, and support each other. Ah, yes. That definition

00:40:39.909 --> 00:40:43.309
was much further down the list. And I may say,

00:40:43.409 --> 00:40:48.070
I feel quite supported. So, what's going on,

00:40:48.090 --> 00:40:50.869
Maysha? You look like you've been having a rough

00:40:50.869 --> 00:40:54.250
night. Hold up, Mia. That's a bit too far. How

00:40:54.250 --> 00:40:57.309
is that out of line? You do not need to answer

00:40:57.309 --> 00:41:01.389
that, Lieutenant. No offense, Maysha, but you

00:41:01.389 --> 00:41:05.010
look like you are struggling. And as your sister's

00:41:05.010 --> 00:41:08.659
on the ship, we want to help. I'm not offended,

00:41:08.739 --> 00:41:15.000
Mia. You're right. My life is a mess. No one

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.639
is saying your life is a mess, Maysha. But it's

00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:23.380
true. My life is a mess, and there is little

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:28.360
I can do about it. Why do you say that? Currently,

00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.420
you are vexed with a treatable case of intoxication.

00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:35.179
Beyond that, the only other obvious problem would

00:41:35.179 --> 00:41:37.900
seem to be a... Self-induced case of depression

00:41:37.900 --> 00:41:43.019
brought on by the alcohol. Wow. Is that what

00:41:43.019 --> 00:41:46.739
you think of my problems? What a lousy counselor

00:41:46.739 --> 00:41:51.780
you turned out to be. I'm glad I never had to

00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:54.980
confide in you. I apologize if what I said offended

00:41:54.980 --> 00:41:57.880
you, Lieutenant. I was raised to honor the way

00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.619
of absolute candor. As a ship's counselor, I

00:42:00.619 --> 00:42:03.679
found it serves me well. To put my statement

00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.079
in more... Succinct terms. Based on external

00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.420
evidence, it is hard for us to know how to offer

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:12.420
you more than just tacit moral support. Without

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:14.679
a more in -depth knowledge of the issues which

00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.340
perplexes you, our best efforts at help would

00:42:17.340 --> 00:42:22.599
bear no meaningful fruit. You know what? You're

00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:28.699
right, T'vel. I tried all my life to be in control

00:42:28.699 --> 00:42:32.440
and grounded emotionally because that's what

00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.829
was expected of me. I've always done what was

00:42:36.829 --> 00:42:39.730
expected of me, and for once in my life I've

00:42:39.730 --> 00:42:42.530
reached a place where I can be happy and fulfilled

00:42:42.530 --> 00:42:46.989
in what I am doing and who I am. I don't care

00:42:46.989 --> 00:42:50.429
if my father thinks I should transfer to a posting

00:42:50.429 --> 00:42:55.309
closer to Earth. He doesn't run my life and can't

00:42:55.309 --> 00:42:58.369
make me transfer if I don't want to. Wait, what?

00:42:59.110 --> 00:43:02.710
What's this about your father? Lieutenant. Are

00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:06.289
you sure you should be talking about this? Why

00:43:06.289 --> 00:43:10.309
should it matter who I tell? I'm tired of secrets.

00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:14.309
I'm tired of not being allowed to have meaningful

00:43:14.309 --> 00:43:17.750
relationships with people who know who I am and

00:43:17.750 --> 00:43:23.630
accept me. Aren't I just one of the group? A

00:43:23.630 --> 00:43:27.570
sister in the struggle. You are all my sisters,

00:43:27.690 --> 00:43:35.880
right? Absolutely. Very well, Lieutenant. Just

00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:38.599
know, once you reveal your secret, there will

00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.699
be no going back. It will be out there. Your

00:43:42.699 --> 00:43:46.500
life will change. The consequences of your decision

00:43:46.500 --> 00:43:50.280
will be on your head. Oh, I don't care. My life

00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:54.900
sucks and I need my friends to help me. Would

00:43:54.900 --> 00:44:00.619
you all like to know a secret? Sure. My father

00:44:00.619 --> 00:44:08.639
is... Captain. Captain. Sorry. My father is real.

00:44:09.300 --> 00:44:13.920
Rear. Admiral. Michael Kilgallon. Gallon. Kilgallon.

00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:24.440
What? How is this the first time we are hearing

00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.539
about this? The Captain and Commander Ch'rega

00:44:27.539 --> 00:44:37.750
knew. We were under orders not to say anything.

00:44:38.789 --> 00:44:40.710
There's still a chance for you not to go down

00:44:40.710 --> 00:44:43.969
this path, Maysha. This could change things for

00:44:43.969 --> 00:44:48.190
you. And maybe not for the better. Nothing ventured.

00:44:48.329 --> 00:44:51.670
Nothing gained. I want to do this. All my life

00:44:51.670 --> 00:44:54.550
I've been whatever Daddy wanted me to be. I'm

00:44:54.550 --> 00:44:57.230
tired of it. I want to take charge of my own

00:44:57.230 --> 00:45:00.769
life and on my own path. T'vel, could you help

00:45:00.769 --> 00:45:04.980
me? Could you help me be... More of, uh, what

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:07.639
do you call it? Myself. It would be unethical

00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.980
for me to begin a counselor -patient relationship

00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:14.880
with you in your current inebriated state. Starfleet

00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.360
Medical requires you to be more cognizant before

00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:20.360
agreeing to psychological treatments. No problem.

00:45:26.980 --> 00:45:30.980
Tony, keep him coming. Hold on, love. First off...

00:45:31.210 --> 00:45:33.389
All you're going to do is feel your bladder.

00:45:33.650 --> 00:45:36.190
And secondly, if you are serious about this,

00:45:36.349 --> 00:45:38.869
I can give you some vitamin injections, which

00:45:38.869 --> 00:45:41.590
should help speed up sobriety. Would that be

00:45:41.590 --> 00:45:45.010
sufficient, Counselor? I believe that would relieve

00:45:45.010 --> 00:45:50.909
the ethical conundrum, Doctor. Oh, yes. I hate

00:45:50.909 --> 00:45:53.690
coffee. Better not let the Captain hear you say

00:45:53.690 --> 00:45:56.449
that. Let me make something perfectly clear to

00:45:56.449 --> 00:45:58.980
you, Lieutenant. My work to assist you with your

00:45:58.980 --> 00:46:02.260
personal issues is not a one -time or temporary

00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:06.260
thing. I believe I can help you, and I will give

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:09.260
you my best efforts in this matter. It will be

00:46:09.260 --> 00:46:11.519
a long process of hard work and it will take

00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.840
time. I need you to be as committed to me and

00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.260
this process as I will be to you during this

00:46:17.260 --> 00:46:21.179
time. Is this something to which you are willing

00:46:21.179 --> 00:46:25.329
and able to commit? I am. You may need to come

00:46:25.329 --> 00:46:27.769
in multiple times a week for an indefinite amount

00:46:27.769 --> 00:46:31.010
of time. Is that what you are willing to do?

00:46:31.530 --> 00:46:33.809
I'm in this for the long haul. I'm committed.

00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:38.869
When can we start? We still have time this evening

00:46:38.869 --> 00:46:42.010
if you would like to start now after a brief

00:46:42.010 --> 00:46:48.550
stop in sickbay. Let's do this. Before you go.

00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.199
I would like to stress, what you have heard here

00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.739
will need to remain a secret. Please, do not

00:46:55.739 --> 00:46:58.260
share it with anyone or put it in your logs.

00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:02.159
Are we clear? Of course, Commander. Yes, sir.

00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:11.380
Well, Traeger, it looks like it's just you and

00:47:11.380 --> 00:47:22.239
me. Actually, Mia, I will need to take a rain

00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.519
check. I have something I need to attend to.

00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:51.119
Oh, okay. Hey Tony, do you have anything stronger

00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:55.019
to drink? I take it ladies' night is not going

00:47:55.019 --> 00:48:00.320
as you wanted? Ladies' night isn't going. Who

00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.679
am I kidding? I take it you had a group of ladies

00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.139
you would hang out with back on the Intrepid?

00:48:06.659 --> 00:48:10.199
Oh my, yes, we were together at least once a

00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:13.599
week. It was great. Did you ladies all start

00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:15.679
hanging out right away when you came on board?

00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:18.900
Well... The group was existing already when I

00:48:18.900 --> 00:48:22.239
came on board. So you didn't start the group?

00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:26.780
No. The first officer who was in place before

00:48:26.780 --> 00:48:29.079
Nick took over was one of the founding members

00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:32.019
before she got command of the USS Ocasio-Cortez.

00:48:33.019 --> 00:48:36.380
I miss those ladies. Let me give you a bit of

00:48:36.380 --> 00:48:39.860
insight, Lieutenant. Many people on this ship

00:48:39.860 --> 00:48:42.519
tend to be as solitary as an oyster. But you

00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:44.760
can't expect overnight to have a group like you

00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.519
did on the Intrepid. It's going to take time.

00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:51.579
The fact that you got Commander Ch'rega to join

00:48:51.579 --> 00:48:56.280
is a call of its own, so give it time. It will

00:48:56.280 --> 00:49:00.639
happen. You really think so, Tony? I know so.

00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.900
How about one for the road, then? Coming right

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:25.349
up. You dare show your face? You made things

00:49:25.349 --> 00:49:29.130
perfectly clear the other night. What do you

00:49:29.130 --> 00:49:34.889
care, you mangy petaQ? Your breath smells as

00:49:34.889 --> 00:49:38.090
bad as your fur. Prepare to defend yourself.

00:49:40.070 --> 00:50:00.679
Computer, bat lift. You had better be initiating

00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:03.559
a mating ritual or I will see to it that you

00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:05.679
are brought up on charges for striking a superior

00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:12.119
officer. Would it really matter? You have made

00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.360
your feelings known. Then you need to learn where

00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:35.190
your place is. Just about do it, love. How do

00:50:35.190 --> 00:50:42.409
you feel? Not as brain fussy as before. I'd say

00:50:42.409 --> 00:50:48.070
about 80%. I should be okay. That's good. When

00:50:48.070 --> 00:50:50.230
you two get done talking, I want you to get some

00:50:50.230 --> 00:50:54.349
rack time. Yes, Doctor. Sounds like everything

00:50:54.349 --> 00:51:00.469
is good to go. If she's at 80%. I'd say she's

00:51:00.469 --> 00:51:03.639
competent to consent to treatment. What? Do you

00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.320
say, Maysha? Are you willing to put in the kind

00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.599
of work needed to get to the bottom of your issues?

00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:14.139
Yes. I want to know where all these feelings

00:51:14.139 --> 00:51:17.559
and emotions are coming from. That sounds sincere

00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:23.559
enough to me. I concur. Thank you, Doctor. Come

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:37.170
with me, Maysha. Thank you, Dr. Flint. Well, that

00:51:37.170 --> 00:51:39.909
nearly rivaled the stories of Kahless and Lukara.

00:51:40.630 --> 00:51:46.909
You have done well, Commander. So this is a joke

00:51:46.909 --> 00:51:53.110
to you? No, it's not. Of all the individuals

00:51:53.110 --> 00:51:55.809
on this ship, you are the only one I was willing

00:51:55.809 --> 00:52:00.710
to give my heart to. I am well aware of that,

00:52:00.769 --> 00:52:09.119
but you changed things. What are you saying?

00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:31.980
Yes. He does seem to be a bit of a boy scout.

00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:42.900
Agreed. Then perhaps we should not see each other

00:52:42.900 --> 00:52:45.539
anymore, since I am now your superior officer.

00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:51.320
You have always been my superior. Your passion

00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:54.940
is the dagger which has pierced my soul. You

00:52:54.940 --> 00:53:00.179
speak like a poet. This is what you do to me.

00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:11.480
We could always formalize our bonding. I'm sure

00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:13.500
the captain would not deny it if we requested

00:53:13.500 --> 00:53:18.599
it. You know that is not an option either. We've

00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:22.159
spoken of this before. You would let your sense

00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:27.099
of obligation come between us. Don't talk to

00:53:27.099 --> 00:53:30.650
me like that. You know it's not an obligation

00:53:30.650 --> 00:53:35.969
I relish. Or is it one I desire? But you have

00:53:35.969 --> 00:53:38.449
no problem putting it ahead of the one thing

00:53:38.449 --> 00:53:43.889
you do desire. Or the one person. I am not some

00:53:43.889 --> 00:53:49.269
foolish maiden with stars in her eyes. You will

00:53:49.269 --> 00:53:54.090
always have my heart. As long as I don't interfere

00:53:54.090 --> 00:53:58.400
with your birthright. Just because it was easy

00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:00.719
for you to forsake any allegiance to a house

00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:05.679
doesn't mean we're all like you. I am supposed

00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:08.860
to be leader of my family's house one day. Don't

00:54:08.860 --> 00:54:10.920
think for a minute I want to put that ahead of

00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:15.579
you. The fire in my soul burns there because

00:54:15.579 --> 00:54:22.800
of you. Well then, if this is to be our last

00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:26.199
night, let it be a night worthy of a whole...

00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.719
Welcome to my home slash office lieutenant Let

00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:57.219
me just slip into something more comfortable.

00:54:58.300 --> 00:55:02.920
Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I've never

00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:05.860
thrown up like that before. It's quite alright,

00:55:06.019 --> 00:55:09.440
Lieutenant. Easily remedied. Feel free to look

00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:20.139
around and make yourself comfortable. Oh. Wow,

00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:25.170
this is really interesting. What is that? Your

00:55:25.170 --> 00:55:28.789
weapon collection? I guess I never would have

00:55:28.789 --> 00:55:31.710
pictured you as a sword collector. I know the

00:55:31.710 --> 00:55:34.989
Lirpa is Vulcan, but I wasn't aware that swords

00:55:34.989 --> 00:55:38.849
were part of Vulcan culture. They are not. That

00:55:38.849 --> 00:55:44.750
is a Romulan sword. Really? Romulan? You collect

00:55:44.750 --> 00:55:48.090
Romulan weapons too? In a manner of speaking.

00:55:48.530 --> 00:55:51.909
My mother was a member of the Quwat Milat. Had

00:55:51.909 --> 00:55:55.309
I chosen to follow her path? This would have

00:55:55.309 --> 00:55:58.670
been my sword. Instead, she gifted it to me on

00:55:58.670 --> 00:56:03.989
the day I graduated from the Academy. Shall we

00:56:03.989 --> 00:56:11.590
take a seat and get started? So you are full

00:56:11.590 --> 00:56:15.690
Romulan? My mother is, but my father is full

00:56:15.690 --> 00:56:19.710
Vulcan. He is a Kolinahr Master. How do you identify

00:56:19.710 --> 00:56:23.570
when you're equal parts of the two? Vulcan or

00:56:23.570 --> 00:56:26.670
Romulan? Actually, there is a growing movement

00:56:26.670 --> 00:56:28.909
on Vulcan who feel the planet belongs to both

00:56:28.909 --> 00:56:32.210
groups now, and should not be named after either

00:56:32.210 --> 00:56:35.030
group. They have started to refer to themselves

00:56:35.030 --> 00:56:38.949
as the Children of Ni'Var. That's pretty. Does

00:56:38.949 --> 00:56:41.769
it have any significant meaning? Ni'Var is the

00:56:41.769 --> 00:56:44.530
Vulcan phrase which means two forms. It refers

00:56:44.530 --> 00:56:47.610
to two sides of Vulcan's culture, Vulcan and

00:56:47.610 --> 00:56:53.659
Romulan. Shall we begin? Sure. Where do we start?

00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:57.179
First, I need you to know I'm going to record

00:56:57.179 --> 00:56:59.659
our session so I can refer back to it later for

00:56:59.659 --> 00:57:03.500
my report. You're the boss counselor? Computer.

00:57:04.099 --> 00:57:07.119
Begin recording the session. Save it to my professional

00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:13.400
files. Voice print to T'vel Tau Kappa 3584. Okay.

00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:17.179
Let's begin, shall we? Please state your full

00:57:17.179 --> 00:57:19.880
name, rank, and current assignment for the record.

00:57:20.590 --> 00:57:25.570
My name is Maysha Baker, Lieutenant, and I'm currently

00:57:25.570 --> 00:57:29.409
the chief engineer's assistant on the USS Resilience.

00:57:29.829 --> 00:57:34.150
All right, great. First, let me say, for this

00:57:34.150 --> 00:57:37.030
to work, you need to be devoted to the ideals

00:57:37.030 --> 00:57:40.449
of absolute candor in this space. I will be candid

00:57:40.449 --> 00:57:43.210
with you, and I expect the same thing in return.

00:57:43.989 --> 00:57:47.250
Second, like I said earlier, this is not going

00:57:47.250 --> 00:57:51.110
to be a quick fix. If you want results. You're

00:57:51.110 --> 00:57:53.710
going to have to put in the work. There is no

00:57:53.710 --> 00:57:56.829
mind melding, and now everything in your life

00:57:56.829 --> 00:58:01.550
is perfect. This is to say, mind melds are not

00:58:01.550 --> 00:58:03.969
out of the question, but they will not be our

00:58:03.969 --> 00:58:07.090
primary way of working through this. You are

00:58:07.090 --> 00:58:10.849
going to have to put in the work. Okay. What

00:58:10.849 --> 00:58:14.070
would you like to know? Why don't you tell me

00:58:14.070 --> 00:58:17.010
about your parents? Where were you born? And

00:58:17.010 --> 00:58:19.480
how did you end up with... The Kilgallon family.

00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:24.760
I was born on Orion. My parents were both killed

00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:27.699
when I was little in a shuttle crash while they

00:58:27.699 --> 00:58:31.079
were serving on the Maelstrom. After my parents

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:35.199
died, the Kilgallons took me in and raised me

00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.760
as their own. Interesting. You said your parents

00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:42.699
died and the Kilgallons raised you. What do

00:58:42.699 --> 00:58:46.239
you remember of your parents? Honestly, I don't

00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:49.820
have many memories. It seems like they were there

00:58:49.820 --> 00:58:54.119
and then one day they were gone. I wish I had

00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:56.760
more memories of them. How old were you at the

00:58:56.760 --> 00:59:02.199
time? I believe I was four years old. Did you

00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:04.579
receive any counselling when your parents died?

00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:09.980
Not really. At least, not from the ship's counsellor.

00:59:10.539 --> 00:59:13.739
I remember having a lot of mind -meld sessions

00:59:13.739 --> 00:59:18.739
with Strahan. Really? At four years old? How

00:59:18.739 --> 00:59:21.400
often did you and Straan have mind meld sessions?

00:59:22.420 --> 00:59:25.340
Usually once a week after I went through puberty.

00:59:25.739 --> 00:59:29.519
The mind melds were helping to suppress my Orion

00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:34.079
pheromones from manifesting themselves and causing

00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:39.980
problems. That is not how mind meld works. Pheromones

00:59:39.980 --> 00:59:43.519
are a genetic function. Mind melds can help with

00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:46.769
controlling emotions, but they... Cannot do anything

00:59:46.769 --> 00:59:50.750
about genetics. Are you sure? My father was a

00:59:50.750 --> 00:59:53.530
colonel master. His training helped him suppress

00:59:53.530 --> 00:59:56.530
his emotions. But it did nothing to help with

00:59:56.530 --> 00:59:59.369
his Bendy syndrome. Bendy is a genetic issue.

00:59:59.849 --> 01:00:03.349
Mind melds could do nothing to stop it. I'm so

01:00:03.349 --> 01:00:08.769
sorry. It is fine. He had a long and productive

01:00:08.769 --> 01:00:12.429
life. What is the first thing you remember? How

01:00:12.429 --> 01:00:16.670
far back do your memories go? I'm not exactly

01:00:16.670 --> 01:00:19.489
sure. Probably coming home to the Kilgallons.

01:00:20.170 --> 01:00:23.510
Maybe vague flashes of a couple who might be

01:00:23.510 --> 01:00:26.969
my parents. I can't really tell who they are.

01:00:27.309 --> 01:00:31.570
And why is that? This is going to sound strange,

01:00:31.710 --> 01:00:35.289
but they don't have faces. It's kind of freaky.

01:00:35.789 --> 01:00:38.469
When I see them in my dreams or memories, they

01:00:38.469 --> 01:00:43.050
don't have faces. Are the memories good? Not

01:00:43.050 --> 01:00:47.059
really. I was four when my parents died, so I

01:00:47.059 --> 01:00:49.599
should have some memories of them, but I don't

01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:51.820
even remember my parents telling me they loved

01:00:51.820 --> 01:00:55.360
me. And that really makes a person feel disconnected.

01:00:56.099 --> 01:01:00.320
It certainly can. It is the foundation of all

01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:03.500
of the relationships in our lives. Does this

01:01:03.500 --> 01:01:06.139
feeling of disconnectedness extend to other people

01:01:06.139 --> 01:01:12.699
in your life? Do you feel isolated? In all...

01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:15.380
Honesty sitting with you and the rest of the

01:01:15.380 --> 01:01:18.760
girls at Tony's felt like the closest friends

01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.619
I've had in years. I think part of it might have

01:01:22.619 --> 01:01:25.760
been because of Commander Straan. He discouraged

01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:29.019
me from expanding my circle to include others.

01:01:29.460 --> 01:01:33.340
I know the two of you were very close, but even

01:01:33.340 --> 01:01:38.739
for a Vulcan, he was not warm and inviting. Yeah,

01:01:38.780 --> 01:01:41.980
and I know you two did not get off to a good

01:01:41.980 --> 01:01:45.800
start. With me, he was sort of like a second

01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.920
father, and definitely a mentor. He was there

01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:53.739
to guide me, and he sacrificed to help me succeed.

01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:58.280
Interesting. How would you say he sacrificed

01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:02.599
so you could succeed? I don't know. I don't know

01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:05.639
where I could have gotten that idea. He and I

01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:08.880
have been on this ship for the last five years

01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:12.179
together. And I've been his right hand the whole

01:02:12.179 --> 01:02:16.320
time. There were a few times when people would

01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:19.840
comment as if I were getting special treatment.

01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:24.079
But I wasn't. We will figure this out, Maysha.

01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:28.480
I think we can get to the bottom of this. I am

01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:30.539
thinking we might want to start to do a mind

01:02:30.539 --> 01:02:33.039
meld. It sounds like you are having some blockages

01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:37.139
in your memories. We will need to tear them down

01:02:37.139 --> 01:02:41.380
so you can come to terms with your past. If you

01:02:41.380 --> 01:02:44.739
think it's best. I know you have done this before.

01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.659
But I want you to really relax and let the outside

01:02:49.659 --> 01:02:53.559
world fade away. The only thing you need to focus

01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:58.340
on is the sound of my voice. I will do all the

01:02:58.340 --> 01:03:02.300
work. I do not want you to try and help me. Why

01:03:02.300 --> 01:03:05.820
not? Given how mind melts were used in your past,

01:03:06.099 --> 01:03:09.260
you may inadvertently lead my probing to a place

01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:11.789
where we will not... find the answers we need

01:03:11.789 --> 01:03:20.429
okay that makes sense close your eyes let the

01:03:20.429 --> 01:03:28.110
calmness wash over you relax your breathing and

01:03:28.110 --> 01:03:32.630
focus as i gently place my hand on your face

01:03:32.630 --> 01:03:41.090
oh are you okay yes i just I haven't felt a tingle

01:03:41.090 --> 01:03:44.809
from a mind meld for a long time. Alright, quiet

01:03:44.809 --> 01:03:51.750
please. Sorry. My mind to your mind. My thoughts

01:03:51.750 --> 01:03:58.349
to your thoughts. Our thoughts are joining. Our

01:03:58.349 --> 01:04:10.059
thoughts are one. May. The Kilgallons call you

01:04:10.059 --> 01:04:19.739
Mae. Except for the Admiral. You were his little

01:04:19.739 --> 01:04:26.619
leprechaun. Let us go back to see your earliest

01:04:26.619 --> 01:04:37.659
memories. I'm feeling some resistance. Like there

01:04:37.659 --> 01:04:41.440
is a chord. Pulling me away from the truth. I'm

01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:45.980
not resisting. Yes, I can sense that. Please

01:04:45.980 --> 01:04:56.920
relax. Fascinating. Your earliest memories are

01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.219
just as you described them. But after a certain

01:05:00.219 --> 01:05:04.079
point, they are normal and not disjointed. Even

01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:06.920
stranger, though. There's a period where you're...

01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:12.840
No memories? That does not seem right. Should

01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:18.099
I be concerned? I would not be concerned at this

01:05:18.099 --> 01:05:21.340
point. We are still early enough in the process

01:05:21.340 --> 01:05:29.139
where we may be able to recover them. Well, there

01:05:29.139 --> 01:05:32.760
is a familiar face. Maybe they have the answers

01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:35.739
we need to find the key. What was he doing there?

01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:39.960
I didn't know him back then. What are we going

01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:43.260
to do? There is only one thing we can do, Lieutenant.

01:05:44.380 --> 01:06:06.159
We need to see the captain. A guest for this
