WEBVTT 00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:07.099 On behalf of the cast of Starship Resilience, 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.279 we would like to dedicate this episode to the 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.119 memory of Deborah Duggar. Deborah was the wife 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.939 of Clay Duggar, who originated the role of Admiral 00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:19.980 Kilgallon. She faced death with a smile and faith 00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.000 in her heart. May your courage and strength of 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.559 conviction be a light to guide us into the 26th 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:38.920 century and beyond. Previously on Starship Resilience. 00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.840 Are you sure you want to go through with this? 00:00:42.259 --> 00:00:44.299 It's the only way we're gonna find the answers 00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:46.439 we need in the short amount of time that we have. 00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:50.159 Are you ready for this? As ready as I'll ever 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.899 be, sir. How you doing, Maysha? Ready to find 00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:56.880 the answers we're looking for. Our minds are 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.780 merging. Our minds are one. I think we are off 00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:04.680 to a good start. What the hell is going on here? 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.439 This is the last straw. Do you think you can 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.239 stop me, Klingon? Remember you asked for this. 00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:15.819 Nice shot, Commander. I will take this vilkak 00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:20.239 to the ring. Where is T 'Val? I am here, Lieutenant. 00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:24.340 Where do we begin? What do you recall, Captain? 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.280 I have a feeling about this kid. I think he could 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.040 be useful to us. What are you two doing here? 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.480 Do you know who this person is? It's... Commander 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.819 Straan. It can't be. He's dead. I'd be doing 00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:41.420 the universe a favor if I killed you both right 00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:48.519 here and now. I don't think so. Captain, watch 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.540 out! I see it. Take the kill! I'm not your puppet 00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:57.840 anymore. This is not the way I remember things. 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.939 Get that worm up here. I have a few questions 00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:02.019 about how he takes care of my laptop. Just give 00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:05.299 us the girl, and no one gets hurt. More! Get 00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:08.340 the package! What's your name, sweetheart? Maysha. 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.879 Bring back my daughter! Daddy? Daddy? Don't look, 00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:21.099 Maysha. Daddy! We might have to go with plan B. 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.479 Remain calm. This will not hurt. I don't have 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.219 time to discuss this logically. Is that everything? 00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:33.300 I've seen enough. Let's go home. And now, Episode 00:02:33.300 --> 00:03:13.639 8, Kintsugi. If there's nothing else, I think 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.080 we can adjourn this meeting. Have a great day, 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.219 everyone. You are dismissed. Commander, I've 00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:23.960 got something I'd like to run by you. I was thinking 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.719 we could go to a four -shift rotation. Because 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.620 that would give the crew a little more flexibility 00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:34.300 with their time. There is a downside. It would 00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:39.930 mean that every shift would have... Okay, thank 00:03:39.930 --> 00:03:42.509 you for sticking around, everyone. First off, 00:03:42.669 --> 00:03:45.909 how are you feeling, Counselor? I feel like a 00:03:45.909 --> 00:03:49.009 shuttlecraft landed on my head, but I should 00:03:49.009 --> 00:03:52.270 recover. Glad to hear that, Lieutenant. And how 00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:58.349 are you doing, Maysha? In all honesty, sir, I'm 00:03:58.349 --> 00:04:05.030 angry. Very angry. I want to hurt him. Lieutenant, 00:04:05.169 --> 00:04:08.389 I don't blame you. In fact, I share your feelings. 00:04:09.710 --> 00:04:13.409 However, for as much as I agree with you, here 00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:17.509 is what we're not going to do. We are not going 00:04:17.509 --> 00:04:20.370 to lash out irrationally in order to strike a 00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:23.829 blow for justice. If we approach this without 00:04:23.829 --> 00:04:26.990 a solid plan, there will be no accountability 00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:30.750 for anyone. He will simply slip through our fingers 00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:34.670 and we will lose everything. Do I make myself 00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:43.269 clear? Aye, sir. Dr. Flint, thank you for sitting 00:04:43.269 --> 00:04:45.410 in on behalf of the medical staff in our meeting 00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:49.750 today. Has anyone noticed Dr. Narlin's absence 00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:54.050 from sickbay? Honestly, no. He rarely leaves 00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:56.490 his office. We should be good for a few days. 00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:00.930 Excellent, excellent. Which brings us to the 00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:04.550 man of the hour, Commander Vek. How is our guest 00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:09.180 doing? Sleeping peacefully, sir. Dr. Flint helped 00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:11.740 us set up the right amount of anesthetizing gas 00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:16.339 to keep him... quiet. What about the people guarding 00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:19.819 him? Are you positive of their loyalty? Yes, 00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:23.259 sir. I've vetted each one of them to make sure 00:05:23.259 --> 00:05:25.379 they would follow instructions to the letter. 00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:30.360 Okay. Good. I may want to talk to him at some 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.540 point. I will let you know when. Less than two 00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:38.439 weeks ago, I took command of this vessel. With 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.740 the exception of Mia, none of you really knew 00:05:41.740 --> 00:05:44.899 who I was and what kind of captain I would be. 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.800 Hell, I didn't even know what kind of captain 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.699 I would be. And I certainly didn't know what 00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:54.540 kind of crew you would be. In a short span of 00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:57.100 time, I have learned I would put it all on the 00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:01.540 line for each and every one of you. We have become 00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:05.379 closer than we ever thought possible. or imagined 00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:09.220 in so short a time. I don't know what's going 00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:13.060 to happen in the next few hours and days, but 00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:17.480 whatever happens, I know you all have my back, 00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:25.100 and I will have yours. Now, that being said, 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.600 we're going to have to find some information. 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.079 That's where you come in, Mr. Gazig. Whatever 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.329 you need, Captain. There was a Yridian in the 00:06:37.329 --> 00:06:40.550 mind meld. I believe his name was Jalor Meh. 00:06:41.709 --> 00:06:44.670 As quietly as possible, I need you to find him. 00:06:45.269 --> 00:06:47.829 Lieutenant T'vel can fill you in on the pertinent 00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:52.250 information. No doubt, this will attract some 00:06:52.250 --> 00:06:55.569 attention, so do your best to keep the bloodhounds 00:06:55.569 --> 00:07:01.850 off our scent. Bloodhounds? Sir? An earth animal. 00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:06.250 Canis lupus familiaris. Commonly used for tracking 00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:09.689 escaped criminals. Ah. Thank you, Commander. 00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:15.310 I'll take care of it, Captain. Okay. Good. Lieutenant 00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:19.550 Colt, what is our ETA to Vulcan? At present speed, 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:21.870 we should be arriving in just under three hours. 00:07:22.629 --> 00:07:26.649 Okay. If at all possible, I would like to get 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:29.980 underway to our next destination. when we have 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.920 finished with the Vulcan authorities. So keep 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.259 the engine idling and your foot on the clutch. 00:07:36.339 --> 00:07:39.339 Yes, sir. Would you also like me to check the 00:07:39.339 --> 00:07:42.540 oil and clean the windshield? That won't be necessary, 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.939 but if you could top off the fluids and rotate 00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:48.819 the tires, that would be really helpful. Aye, 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.319 sir. What is our next destination, Captain? At 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.899 this point, I have no idea. But I have faith 00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:01.480 Gazig will provide. As you humans say. No pressure. 00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:05.040 Gazig, I believe I speak for all of us when I 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.759 say I have every confidence in your ability. 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.819 It may not be material, but I believe in this 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:14.680 case, the Great River will provide the information 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:20.860 we need. I think we can all adjourn this meeting. 00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:29.660 Dismissed. Lieutenant Maysha, would you remain 00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:32.320 a moment, please? Would you like me to stay, 00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:35.100 sir? She's in a very fragile state after that 00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:37.100 mine melt, and you don't know what could happen 00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:40.740 when that bomb goes off. I appreciate that, Commander. 00:08:41.399 --> 00:09:03.850 I think we'll be okay. Thank you for staying, 00:09:03.929 --> 00:09:07.870 Lieutenant. It's a little hard to leave when 00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:11.090 you order me to stay. That's all these pips on 00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:13.429 my collar. They tend to go right to my head. 00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:25.129 Would you care to have a seat? Would you care 00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:34.250 for something to drink, Maysha? I'm guessing we 00:09:34.250 --> 00:09:37.629 have some things to talk about. Would you like 00:09:37.629 --> 00:09:46.509 to go first? Okay. Well, to answer your question, 00:09:46.690 --> 00:09:50.909 you can keep Sammy. He looks happier living with 00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:58.110 you. I know T'vel would tell us communications 00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:01.299 is a two -way street. It works best when the 00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:09.240 information is flowing in both directions. I 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.299 don't know about you, but the Mind Meld was a 00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:15.240 very opening experience. There was a lot to unpack. 00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:20.960 If you are angry with me or hate me, let's get 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.240 it out in the open right now. Because whatever 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.799 this is, it should end before either of us walks 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:35.210 out that door. Do I make myself clear? You helped 00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:40.110 a psychopath take me away from my father. I watched 00:10:40.110 --> 00:10:44.309 my father disintegrate in front of my eyes. Again. 00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:52.009 And I was only four. Four. You're right. What 00:10:52.009 --> 00:10:55.830 happened was horrible, and I was integral to 00:10:55.830 --> 00:11:00.279 the crime. I did something I never thought I 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.840 would ever be a part of. I helped to separate 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.059 a child from her parents. How familiar are you 00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:11.220 with the history of the North American Old West? 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.480 Not overly familiar. It wasn't widely studied 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.000 in Ireland. As the explorers went out in search 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.840 of treasures. They took priests with them who 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.700 ended up forcibly converting many of the native 00:11:30.700 --> 00:11:35.059 peoples. Later, when the settlers moved westward, 00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:38.659 they got pushback from the native tribes. To 00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:41.379 keep the settlers safe, the military went ahead 00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:44.519 of them and removed many of the tribes to reservations 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:49.139 or outright slaughtered them. The settlers and 00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:52.360 the soldiers even went so far as to remove the 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.059 children from their parents and put them into 00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:58.240 boarding schools to re -educate them to be more 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.759 like the settlers. In many cases, these kids 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.179 were severely punished or even killed for speaking 00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:09.559 their native language. Those who survived the 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.500 indoctrination were not really accepted by their 00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:15.970 tribes or the settlers. It was such a common 00:12:15.970 --> 00:12:18.450 practice that many people were surprised to learn 00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:21.649 it continued many more years after the West was 00:12:21.649 --> 00:12:26.789 settled. What was revealed in the mind meld makes 00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:32.090 me out to be one of those soldiers. I could hide 00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:36.590 behind I was just following orders, but it doesn't 00:12:36.590 --> 00:12:39.669 change the fact that I could have objected to 00:12:39.669 --> 00:12:44.970 what was going on and didn't. I was young and 00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:48.649 naive and chose to blindly follow the orders 00:12:48.649 --> 00:12:53.210 of a man who, as best as I can tell now, was 00:12:53.210 --> 00:12:59.389 only after his own self -interest. And, something 00:12:59.389 --> 00:13:02.049 else I don't know if you had considered, if I 00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:04.629 hadn't removed you from the area, those security 00:13:04.629 --> 00:13:13.190 officers might have also killed you. Do you need 00:13:13.190 --> 00:13:21.990 a tissue? I'm fine. In all honesty, I was almost 00:13:21.990 --> 00:13:24.629 as scared as you were. And what I said to you 00:13:24.629 --> 00:13:30.129 about keeping you safe, I meant that. That's 00:13:30.129 --> 00:13:34.169 one reason I gave you Sammy. What I've been trying 00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:40.450 to say is, I'm sorry. And I'm committed to finding 00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:45.590 the answers. And justice. We both deserve. You're 00:13:45.590 --> 00:13:49.250 not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that 00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:54.169 you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong. No matter 00:13:54.169 --> 00:13:58.750 who says it. The words of Malcolm X. A wise man. 00:13:59.450 --> 00:14:02.950 But I am trying to help. If you stick a knife 00:14:02.950 --> 00:14:06.129 in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, 00:14:06.190 --> 00:14:11.600 there is no progress. Malcolm X again. We seem 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.539 to be going around in circles here and getting 00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:22.279 nowhere fast. We could trade pithy quotes all 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:27.940 day. But the truth is, I apologize for something 00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:32.539 I did to you over 20 years ago as part of a huge, 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:37.120 huge injustice, which I just learned about less 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:42.269 than 20 hours ago. The ball is in your court. 00:14:43.850 --> 00:14:47.750 You can forgive me and we can move forward. Take 00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:50.850 control of the situation and seek justice from 00:14:50.850 --> 00:14:56.789 those who wronged us both. Or, you don't forgive 00:14:56.789 --> 00:15:01.250 me and we go our separate ways. But know this, 00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:06.929 no matter what you decide, I'm going to seek 00:15:06.929 --> 00:15:21.250 out justice with or without you. Computer. Coffee. 00:15:21.669 --> 00:15:59.610 Extra mocha. Two shots of espresso. Sir? Yes, 00:15:59.669 --> 00:16:05.470 Lieutenant? Was that all you wanted to talk about, 00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:12.789 sir? Yes. It would seem it was more than enough. 00:16:13.850 --> 00:16:18.529 Wouldn't you agree, Lieutenant? Sir? I'm not 00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:22.070 sure what more can be said. Or what you would 00:16:22.070 --> 00:16:25.799 like to hear. For now, I have a lot of things 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.159 to take care of, so... If there's nothing further, 00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:57.610 Lieutenant, you're dismissed. Aye, sir. Space. 00:16:58.129 --> 00:17:02.889 The final frontier. These are the voyages of 00:17:02.889 --> 00:17:06.809 the Starship Resilience. Our mission? To explore 00:17:06.809 --> 00:17:10.170 new mysteries and new horizons. To seek out new 00:17:10.170 --> 00:17:13.950 friends and new wonders. To stand firm against 00:17:13.950 --> 00:18:11.759 whatever the universe throws at us. Come. Mr. 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.220 Gazig, I hope that smile means you have good 00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:18.119 news. I hope it's good news as well, sir. You 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.980 would not believe how popular the name Jalor 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:23.779 Meh is on the Yiridia. Considering the age of 00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:26.359 the person you described, and the number known 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.759 to be involved in the illegal activity, I managed 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.079 to narrow the list down to two possible candidates. 00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:38.240 Well done, Mr. Gazig. Let's have a look. Oh, 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:48.859 I don't know. I'm leaning towards no. Let's see 00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:54.220 contestant number two. I think this might be 00:18:54.220 --> 00:19:00.180 our man. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the guy. 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.319 Thank you, Gazig. You do not disappoint. You're 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:10.079 welcome, sir. The Great River provides. It looks 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:15.140 like... He's currently serving time in a prison 00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:21.460 colony on Celes III. At least, we now have a 00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:23.680 destination for the second phase of our journey. 00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:26.180 This is, of course, once we finish at Vulcan. 00:19:26.339 --> 00:19:30.039 Actually, sir, we should be arriving... Bridge 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.720 to Captain Moore. Now. More here. Go ahead, Commander. 00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:37.240 Sir, we are arriving at Vulcan. Thank you, Commander. 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:40.039 I'll be there shortly. Have Commander Straan's 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.980 body and personal effects prepared to be transported 00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:47.359 to the surface. More out. Thank you again, Mr. 00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:50.160 Gazig. You're doing a great job, and I appreciate 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.220 the effort you're giving to this. Thank you, 00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:55.119 sir. I may not have known you or Lieutenant Maysha 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.759 as long as the rest, but it's still not right 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.059 what happened. You'll get no argument from me, 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:25.009 Gazig. Yes, sir. Let's do this. Commander, when 00:20:25.009 --> 00:20:27.970 the opportunity presents itself, I would like 00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:33.910 to speak to our guest. Aye, sir. I'll take care 00:20:33.910 --> 00:20:46.319 of it. Excellent. Mr. Gazig, please open a channel. 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:53.059 Aye, sir. Channel open. I am Nicholas J. Moore, 00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:56.460 son of Charles, captain of the USS Resilience. 00:20:57.019 --> 00:21:01.440 With whom am I speaking? I am T 'Pel, High Priestess 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.859 of ShiKahr. How may I help you? Greetings, T'pel. 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:09.099 Your presence honors us. Unfortunately, we are 00:21:09.099 --> 00:21:11.980 here on a somber mission. We are bringing home 00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:14.819 the body of our colleague, Straan. Son of Kelor. 00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:18.519 As per his final wishes. You honor us with your 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.960 service and adherence to our customs, Captain. 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.480 We stand ready to receive him. More to sickbay? 00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:29.819 We are clear to beam Commander Straan's remains 00:21:29.819 --> 00:21:33.200 to the surface whenever you are ready. Aye, sir. 00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:42.200 Initiating transport. Transport complete, Captain. 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.319 Acknowledged, sickbay. More out. We have received 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.559 the remains of Strahan, son of Kelor, Captain. 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.839 Who is the keeper of his katra? Apologies, 00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.720 T'pel. Unfortunately, the commander died before 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.740 he could initiate the link. Most unfortunate. 00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:04.000 He is truly dead. But you have our gratitude 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.359 for returning him to us. So his remains may rest 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.059 with his ancestors. Live long and prosper, Captain 00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:14.910 Moore. Son of Charles. Peace and long life, High 00:22:14.910 --> 00:22:21.849 Priestess T'pel. Resilience out. Mr. Gazig, 00:22:21.910 --> 00:22:23.789 make sure Commander Strawn's personal effects 00:22:23.789 --> 00:22:26.029 are returned to his family before we break orbit. 00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:29.029 Yes, sir. Lieutenant Colt, as soon as the transfer 00:22:29.029 --> 00:22:32.410 is complete, set course to Celes III, Warp 3. 00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:44.089 Aye, sir. Did I hear right? Celes III? Yes, 00:22:44.170 --> 00:22:46.609 you did, Commander. Join me in my ready room, 00:22:46.670 --> 00:22:51.390 and I'll explain. Captain, a moment. Certainly. 00:22:51.750 --> 00:22:53.930 Go ahead, Commander. I'll join you in a moment. 00:22:56.569 --> 00:23:00.930 Yes, Pro. Sir, I just received a notification. 00:23:00.970 --> 00:23:04.410 Our guest is waking up. That's good to hear. 00:23:05.069 --> 00:23:08.029 Give him a chance to fully wake up. A hot meal, 00:23:08.250 --> 00:23:12.569 a sonic shower. And a clean uniform. Instruct 00:23:12.569 --> 00:23:14.750 the guards to keep the conversation with him 00:23:14.750 --> 00:23:18.029 to only what is necessary. And don't mention 00:23:18.029 --> 00:23:20.769 I'm coming to speak to him. You have the con, 00:23:20.950 --> 00:23:30.369 Commander. Aye, sir. Thank you for waiting, Wa'DIch. 00:23:31.369 --> 00:23:33.450 Commander Vek was giving me an update on our 00:23:33.450 --> 00:23:37.109 guests. I have decided to speak with him to see 00:23:37.109 --> 00:23:40.009 where he stands. Are you sure that's a good idea? 00:23:40.369 --> 00:23:42.750 My parents always told me to give someone a second 00:23:42.750 --> 00:23:46.369 chance. Other than a few isolated incidents, 00:23:46.769 --> 00:23:51.109 that rule has served me pretty well. In the doctor's 00:23:51.109 --> 00:23:54.430 case, all we really have on him is being a little 00:23:54.430 --> 00:23:57.089 over -possessive about certain patients, and 00:23:57.089 --> 00:24:01.210 he was present in the mind meld. Let's not forget 00:24:01.210 --> 00:24:04.089 he's been a stooge for Admiral Kilgallon. Yes, 00:24:04.190 --> 00:24:08.319 there is that too. But people can change. And 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.539 I'm hoping he will help us. Well, as you humans 00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:15.059 like to say, I wouldn't hold your breath. Oh, 00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:18.500 I'm well aware, Commander. Besides, that shade 00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:22.220 of blue is not my color. You had a question, 00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:26.119 didn't you? I was asking about Celes III. Yes, 00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:29.579 the course change. Gazig was able to track down 00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:33.240 Jailer Meh. He's at a penal colony on Celes III. 00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:37.319 I'm hoping the warden will give me a few minutes 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.240 with him. What if they don't? I guess we'll have 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.500 to cross that bridge when we come to it. As long 00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:45.440 as we cross the bridges and don't burn them. 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.299 At this point I can't make any promises, Commander. 00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:02.599 As you were. Hello, Captain. Hello, Captain. 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:08.009 Hello, Captain. Hello, Lieutenant. Liebmann, sir. 00:25:08.630 --> 00:25:11.910 Lieutenant Junior Grade Michael Liebmann. Okay. 00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:15.250 Lieutenant Junior Grade Liebmann. I know this 00:25:15.250 --> 00:25:18.210 is an unusual situation, but I'd like the three 00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:21.349 of you to wait outside. Sir, you know that is 00:25:21.349 --> 00:25:23.670 not protocol. I'd highly advise you to - I'll 00:25:23.670 --> 00:25:25.789 be fine. He's behind a level 10 force field. 00:25:25.990 --> 00:25:32.670 I don't think he's going anywhere. Then at least 00:25:32.670 --> 00:25:38.700 take my phaser, just in case. Aye, sir. Okay. 00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:42.039 Ensign Graves, Ensign Roll, let's give him the 00:25:42.039 --> 00:26:16.000 room. Yes, sir. Hello, Doctor. Captain Nicholas 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.740 Moore. Do I have you to thank for the meal, shower, 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.059 and clean uniform? Not to mention being awake. 00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.079 I made sure you were at least provided with the 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:31.539 basics of life. The basics? Nothing more, nothing 00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:40.349 less. Starfleet Academy, Class of 2490. Valedictorian 00:26:40.349 --> 00:26:44.170 Starfleet Medical, Legion of Honor Commendation, 00:26:44.369 --> 00:26:49.910 Starfleet Medical Award for Valor, the Interspecies 00:26:49.910 --> 00:26:52.609 Medical Exchange Award for Outstanding Work in 00:26:52.609 --> 00:26:56.109 the Field of Exobiology, numerous patients healed, 00:26:56.230 --> 00:26:59.529 and countless potential medical crises averted. 00:27:00.250 --> 00:27:05.150 Yes, and you're welcome. Is there a reason I'm 00:27:05.150 --> 00:27:09.109 being treated to my own resume? I was doing a 00:27:09.109 --> 00:27:11.630 little research this morning and happened to 00:27:11.630 --> 00:27:15.089 notice you had quite a career going. Until... 00:27:15.089 --> 00:27:24.309 Until what? Until 2510 when you were transferred 00:27:24.309 --> 00:27:27.230 to the Maelstrom. The patients and the potential 00:27:27.230 --> 00:27:29.789 outbreaks were standard until the Resilience. 00:27:30.109 --> 00:27:34.710 But the honors all dried up. Now why is that? 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.480 Maybe I'd done everything I'd wanted to in my 00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:45.700 career. Did you ever think of that? Oh, I considered 00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:49.019 that. Of the top 15 members of your graduating 00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:52.220 class at Starfleet Medical, of which you are 00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:54.900 the very top, you are currently the lowest rank 00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:58.380 of all those who are still active. One died on 00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:00.859 an away mission less than 10 years after graduation. 00:28:02.190 --> 00:28:04.990 Three are in active service of some capacities 00:28:04.990 --> 00:28:09.910 as captains. Four retired as captains. Six are 00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:12.970 flag officers, with two of them having served 00:28:12.970 --> 00:28:17.130 as heads of Starfleet Medical. So again, I ask, 00:28:17.309 --> 00:28:22.269 why is that? Because I have to deal with hotshot 00:28:22.269 --> 00:28:25.529 officers like you, with your clean -cut image 00:28:25.529 --> 00:28:28.960 and perfect record. Never had to bend the rules 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:32.140 to get ahead. The universe handing you everything 00:28:32.140 --> 00:28:38.240 on a silver platter. Is that why you did memory 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.619 wipes of all the crew? Or you had the memory 00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:44.319 suppressed via Vulcan mind meld? Of what exactly 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.599 are you accusing me? I'm not making an accusation, 00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:52.839 Doctor. I'm just letting you know we know the 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:58.640 truth. Then you've come here to gloat. Very unbecoming, 00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:05.000 Capitan. Not gloating or accusing. Just giving 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.400 you the opportunity to be on the right side of 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.099 history. Are you really that naive? Do you really 00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:13.400 think the rest of the universe works any differently? 00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.299 The incorruptible virtues of Starfleet are as 00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:20.160 corrupt as anyone else. Your ideal of the moral 00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.200 superiority of the Federation is out of date. 00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:29.130 My view may be old -fashioned. But I'm the one 00:29:29.130 --> 00:29:31.650 on this side of the force field. At least for 00:29:31.650 --> 00:29:37.789 now. Commander, we are approaching Celes III. 00:29:38.509 --> 00:29:41.609 Okay. Slow to impulse and assume a synchronous 00:29:41.609 --> 00:29:45.029 orbit over the rehabilitation center, Helm. Mr. 00:29:45.029 --> 00:29:48.089 Gazig, contact the center. Let's see who's home. 00:29:48.529 --> 00:29:51.009 Mr. Vek, is the captain still with our guest? 00:29:51.630 --> 00:29:56.069 Yes, Commander. Ch'rega to Captain Moore. Yes, 00:29:56.069 --> 00:30:03.109 Commander. We've arrived at Celes III. I'll be 00:30:03.109 --> 00:30:05.490 up as soon as possible, Commander. More out. 00:30:07.009 --> 00:30:10.710 At least for now, you say. I'm listening. Have 00:30:10.710 --> 00:30:13.369 you thought about what would happen if you actually 00:30:13.369 --> 00:30:16.630 tried to get to the bottom of things? I'll tell 00:30:16.630 --> 00:30:19.750 you. Do you think you are safe because you're 00:30:19.750 --> 00:30:21.990 the captain of this ship? You're just another 00:30:21.990 --> 00:30:24.450 pawn in the game. And you know what they say 00:30:24.450 --> 00:30:27.410 about pawns. They are easily sacrificed to win. 00:30:28.619 --> 00:30:32.440 Like you did with Captain Kohlan? Like you. He 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.259 forgot the meaning of loyalty. And soon you will 00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:39.019 learn the penalty for being disloyal. A threat? 00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:45.539 Merely a well -educated guess. You really don't 00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:49.000 get it. If you move against Admiral Kilgallon, 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.559 you know very well he will move against you. 00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:54.779 A never -ending assault on you, your career, 00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.539 and whoever is unfortunate enough to get in his 00:30:57.539 --> 00:31:00.839 way. How's that captain's chair feeling now? 00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.599 Are you sure you want to do this to the man who 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:08.839 made you? You know what awaits you. And that's 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.019 not a threat. It's a warning. Should we get to 00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:19.640 Moore? Yes, Commander. Sir, we have the administrator 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.000 of the Celes III Rehabilitation Center waiting 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.180 to speak with you. I don't believe I'm going 00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:26.539 to be able to get away, Commander. Could you 00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:29.839 speak with them on my behalf? Aye, Captain. Ch'rega 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.420 out. Lieutenant Gazig, open the channel to the 00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:39.299 Administrator. Yes, ma'am. I'm Commander Ch'rega 00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:42.279 Doth of the USS Resilience. Hello, Commander. 00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:46.400 I'm Dr. Jacinta Escamilla, the Administrator 00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.680 of the Celes III Rehabilitation Center. How can 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.660 I help you? We're hoping to speak with one of 00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:58.529 your residents, a Mr. Jalor Meh. Have you considered 00:31:58.529 --> 00:32:01.009 the possibility that the people you attempt to 00:32:01.009 --> 00:32:04.210 contact for help may be unable to help you? Are 00:32:04.210 --> 00:32:05.970 you saying they're too afraid to come out of 00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:08.549 hiding to face Kilgallon? You really don't 00:32:08.549 --> 00:32:10.910 think very highly of the abilities of Starfleet 00:32:10.910 --> 00:32:14.390 security. Are you really that simple, Captain? 00:32:14.670 --> 00:32:17.170 Do you lack understanding of how things really 00:32:17.170 --> 00:32:24.529 work? I am very sorry, Commander. Mr. Meh was 00:32:24.529 --> 00:32:27.700 found dead this morning in his cell. At first 00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:30.039 we thought it was suicide, but on closer examination 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.539 we found one of our guards murdered him. That 00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:38.839 is most unfortunate, Doctor. Would it be possible 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.440 to speak with the guard? Sadly, the guard killed 00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:47.099 himself about an hour ago. Were you able to determine 00:32:47.099 --> 00:32:53.990 a motivation for his actions? You see, dear Captain, 00:32:54.150 --> 00:32:56.970 what you fail to realize is that people in the 00:32:56.970 --> 00:33:02.130 Admiral's position are untouchable. No one is 00:33:02.130 --> 00:33:06.369 completely untouchable, Doctor. Are you so sure 00:33:06.369 --> 00:33:09.009 about that? Would you be willing to wager your 00:33:09.009 --> 00:33:11.430 life on it? What about the lives of your crew? 00:33:11.670 --> 00:33:14.349 Are they willing to risk their lives for you? 00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:17.809 The lives of their families? Or even your own 00:33:17.809 --> 00:33:23.200 family? How are dear sweet Charles and Kay? Safely 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.579 tucked away in their retirement on Kauai in 00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:30.759 the place to be? You son of a bitch. I'll kill 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:37.660 you if you lay a finger on them. Such brave words, 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:45.619 boy. Run away home. Captain? Here's your phaser 00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:48.019 back, Lieutenant. I want you to shut him up. 00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.420 Same protocol as before. Yes, sir. We'll take 00:33:51.420 --> 00:34:11.840 care of it. Same protocols as before. Computer. 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.360 Take me to the bridge. Fastest route possible. 00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:19.670 No stops. This pod is designated priority one. 00:34:23.530 --> 00:34:26.730 Before he died, the guard said he had carried 00:34:26.730 --> 00:34:29.130 out the murder on the orders of Captain Nicholas 00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:32.989 Moore. Thank you for that information, Doctor. 00:34:33.289 --> 00:34:39.309 We'll be in touch. Resilience out. Ch'rega to 00:34:39.309 --> 00:34:44.789 Moore. Moore here. Go ahead, Commander. Captain, 00:34:44.969 --> 00:34:49.260 we have a problem. Jayla is dead, and they say... 00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:53.880 Let me guess. They say I ordered it. Yes, sir. 00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:59.420 How did you know? Our guest implied it. Where 00:34:59.420 --> 00:35:02.400 are you currently? I should be there shortly. 00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:13.320 More out. Report, Commander. We're still in orbit 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.199 of Cell S3. I just closed the channel with the 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:22.039 rehabilitation facility. Captain, Dr. Escamilla 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:26.440 is hailing us. Considering what she knows, I 00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:28.280 think it would be best if you continued to talk 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:33.219 to her, Ch'rega. Agreed. Mia, once Commander 00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:35.800 Ch'rega is finished with the doctor, set course 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.460 for Earth. When we are out of range of their 00:35:38.460 --> 00:35:42.500 sensors, alter course to Risa Warp 6. Aye, sir. 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.980 Commander, I'll be in the ready room. Yes, sir. 00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:04.480 Mr. Gazig, on screen. Dr. Escamilla, sorry about 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:09.840 that. I needed to send a security team to make 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.200 sure Captain Moore was secured in the brig. Oh. 00:36:14.200 --> 00:36:18.280 Good. I was concerned he was still roaming about 00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:21.739 freely. Do you require assistance securing him? 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:25.719 We have plenty of available space. I am sure 00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:28.579 Starfleet would prefer he was sedated, where 00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:33.179 he couldn't hurt anyone ever again. No! No. No 00:36:33.179 --> 00:36:35.880 thank you, Doctor. The Federation Charter guarantees 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.780 due process before incarceration. We have him 00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:40.960 secured in the brig. Isn't that right, Commander 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:48.980 Vek? Commander? Help me out here, Prowl. Yes, 00:36:49.179 --> 00:36:52.460 Commander. The prisoner is secured and sedated. 00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:56.500 Thank you, Commander. So you see, Doctor, thank 00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:58.579 you for your offer, but we have things well in 00:36:58.579 --> 00:37:02.860 hand. Are you sure? It wouldn't be any trouble. 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.340 No thank you, Doctor. We need to get going. We're 00:37:06.340 --> 00:37:08.179 headed back to Earth to get rid of this traitorous 00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:12.110 scum. And thanks again for the offer. Have a 00:37:12.110 --> 00:37:17.710 great rest of your day, and resilience out. Thank 00:37:17.710 --> 00:37:21.769 Kahless, that's over. Helm, lay a course and proceed. 00:37:22.230 --> 00:37:24.570 Course laid in, Commander, and break in orbit. 00:37:24.889 --> 00:37:28.929 Earth, here we come. Commander Vek, you have 00:37:28.929 --> 00:37:43.570 the con. Whoa! It's dark in here. Computer, lights. 00:37:44.030 --> 00:37:46.650 Belay that, computer. I prefer to leave them 00:37:46.650 --> 00:37:54.489 off. Understood. Are you alright, Captain? You 00:37:54.489 --> 00:38:03.570 know what, Each? There are times I stare at the 00:38:03.570 --> 00:38:08.960 stars when we're traveling at warp. And I imagine 00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:13.840 each star flying by is a problem I'm experiencing 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:20.260 in my life. Each problem dropping like an escape 00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:30.179 pod to sublight speed. Does it help? Sometimes. 00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:36.659 But not right now. Sometimes there aren't enough 00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:41.750 escape pods. Pull up a chair and join me. Thank 00:38:41.750 --> 00:38:45.050 you, sir. I listened to what you said out there. 00:38:45.769 --> 00:38:47.710 It's good to know you can think fast and defeat. 00:38:48.289 --> 00:38:51.769 Thank you, sir. This could all be very well falling 00:38:51.769 --> 00:38:55.409 apart around us. I used to think that when people 00:38:55.409 --> 00:38:58.389 talked about how sometimes admirals would turn 00:38:58.389 --> 00:39:02.050 evil after promotion was just a myth, but I'm 00:39:02.050 --> 00:39:04.150 really starting to believe it. You're talking 00:39:04.150 --> 00:39:06.789 about badmirals. That's what a few friends at 00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:09.039 the Academy used to call them. There do seem 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:10.760 to be a lot of them in the Federation history. 00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.639 As much as I don't want to believe it's possible, 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:18.159 I'm starting to think Admiral Kilgallon may be 00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:22.179 one. After what I saw in that mind meld, and 00:39:22.179 --> 00:39:24.860 from talking to our guest in the brig, there 00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:27.619 is some serious questioning of life choices going 00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:33.099 on. He got to you. Narlin, I mean. Don't let 00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:36.199 him under your skin. You know as well as I do, 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.010 that's easier said than done. You made me wonder 00:39:39.010 --> 00:39:41.369 why I'm doing this. You're doing this for that 00:39:41.369 --> 00:39:44.769 girl in engineering. And as much for her, you're 00:39:44.769 --> 00:39:48.610 doing it for you too. At this point, I'm probably 00:39:48.610 --> 00:39:51.610 doing this all so I can stay out of prison. Or 00:39:51.610 --> 00:39:55.309 worse. Maysha is still angry over what she saw 00:39:55.309 --> 00:39:58.510 in the mind meld. Apologies are not working on 00:39:58.510 --> 00:40:02.909 her. Leave her to me. I would really like to 00:40:02.909 --> 00:40:06.590 catch a break at some point. Gazig to Captain 00:40:06.590 --> 00:40:12.500 Moore. Go ahead, Gazig. Sir, you're receiving 00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.940 a priority warrant communicate from Admiral Kilgallon. 00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:18.780 I'm going to head back to the bridge. No, don't. 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:21.659 I want you to be a witness to this conversation. 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.179 Just stand out of the way so he can't hear you. 00:40:25.500 --> 00:40:28.300 I need someone else to be aware of what's going 00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:33.579 on. Just in case. Okay. Sir? One second, Gazig. 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.559 Helm, have we made the course change to Risa 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.530 yet? Not yet, sir. I was just about to. Hold 00:40:39.530 --> 00:40:42.449 off on the course change for now, Mia. We don't 00:40:42.449 --> 00:40:45.170 want to tip our hand too quickly. Aye, sir. Staying 00:40:45.170 --> 00:40:49.030 true. Computer. Lights on. Full illumination. 00:40:50.130 --> 00:40:56.949 Lights at 100 % illumination. Okay, Gazig. Hatch 00:40:56.949 --> 00:40:59.690 him through to my ready room. Yes, sir. Gazig 00:40:59.690 --> 00:41:02.710 out. Nick, just what exactly do you think you're 00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:05.429 doing? How much blood is enough for you? I'm 00:41:05.429 --> 00:41:07.429 not sure what you mean, Admiral. Cut the crap, 00:41:07.570 --> 00:41:10.869 Nick. A prisoner at Celes III and the guard you 00:41:10.869 --> 00:41:13.670 ordered to kill him. How much more blood will 00:41:13.670 --> 00:41:16.769 satisfy this deranged vendetta of yours? Sir, 00:41:16.829 --> 00:41:19.369 I don't know what you heard, but I had nothing 00:41:19.369 --> 00:41:21.989 to do with that. No one on the Resilience had 00:41:21.989 --> 00:41:24.230 anything to do with that. Here's what I know, 00:41:24.349 --> 00:41:27.869 Nick. You are at this moment illegally detaining 00:41:27.869 --> 00:41:30.550 your chief medical officer for trying to stop 00:41:30.550 --> 00:41:33.510 an unnecessary and invasive procedure on a member 00:41:33.510 --> 00:41:36.539 of the crew. This procedure was used to implant 00:41:36.539 --> 00:41:39.760 false information into the mind of a young and 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:43.159 impressionable member of your crew. You ordered 00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:46.960 the death of two people on Celes III. And now, 00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:49.739 you are en route to Risa to possibly cause the 00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:53.000 deaths of two more innocent people. Or perhaps 00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.219 they may already be dead by the time you get 00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:59.539 there. Your call, Captain. You know, Admiral, 00:41:59.739 --> 00:42:02.820 you really missed out not going to the Academy. 00:42:03.460 --> 00:42:07.599 Really? Please, enlighten me. You talk a great 00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.059 deal about how loyalty is important for your 00:42:10.059 --> 00:42:14.880 crew. And, in a sense, you're right. It is important 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.860 for the crew to be loyal to their captain, admiral, 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:22.079 whatever the case may be. But at the Academy, 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.480 we learned that loyalty must be tempered with 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:29.800 truth. In fact, they teach us that truth is the 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:33.619 first duty of every Starfleet officer. Whether 00:42:33.619 --> 00:42:36.300 we like it or not, the truth of the matter or 00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:40.559 situation is of supreme importance, even over 00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.139 and above loyalty. I decide what the truth is. 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.260 Everything else is fake information. The party 00:42:49.260 --> 00:42:51.340 told you to reject the evidence of your eyes 00:42:51.340 --> 00:42:54.940 and ears. It was their final, most essential 00:42:54.940 --> 00:42:59.960 command, George Orwell. If only that were true, 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:03.360 Admiral. But you don't have the power to define 00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:07.159 reality for the universe. There are such things 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:10.659 as universal truths. These are not up for debate, 00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:14.360 and they can't be redefined to fit your circumstances 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:19.719 or narrative. And no matter whether you like 00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.000 it or not, these truths are the North Star which 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.539 should guide each officer. Bravo, Captain. Bravo. 00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:31.829 You almost had me going there, Nick. Now, what 00:43:31.829 --> 00:43:34.429 say you do the right thing and turn yourself 00:43:34.429 --> 00:43:37.610 in? You're not to be so blind with patriotism 00:43:37.610 --> 00:43:41.969 that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, 00:43:42.150 --> 00:43:46.710 no matter who does it or says it. I'm sorry to 00:43:46.710 --> 00:43:50.429 hear you are so resolute, Captain Moore. I had 00:43:50.429 --> 00:43:53.989 big hopes for you. You break my heart, Nick. 00:43:54.630 --> 00:44:00.639 Best of luck to you. What are your orders, sir? 00:44:01.500 --> 00:44:04.559 Let me stop you right there, Commander. Are you 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:06.679 sure you want to throw your duck -tog in with 00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.480 me? What about your honor? Honor not used to 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.019 help a warrior on a noble cause is stolen valor. 00:44:14.059 --> 00:44:16.420 Honor risked to help someone regain their honor 00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:19.820 is worth many warriors. Very well, Commander. 00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:24.579 Let's make some necessary trouble. More to Commander 00:44:24.579 --> 00:44:30.150 Vek. Vek here. Yes, Captain. We will not be diverting 00:44:30.150 --> 00:44:33.349 to Risa, Mr. Vek. Maintain course and speed with 00:44:33.349 --> 00:44:37.130 continuous long -range sensor sweeps. Aye, sir. 00:44:37.409 --> 00:44:39.650 Commander Ch'rega will fill you in momentarily. 00:44:39.769 --> 00:44:43.369 More out. In the meantime, Commander, set yellow 00:44:43.369 --> 00:44:46.010 alert throughout the ship. Make sure all departments 00:44:46.010 --> 00:44:49.090 are ready. We could be facing a rough road ahead 00:44:49.090 --> 00:45:07.300 of us. Aye, sir. I'll see to it personally. Yellow 00:45:07.300 --> 00:45:10.880 alert. All hands, yellow alert. This is not a 00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:16.840 drill. I repeat, yellow alert. Angels and ministers 00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:31.880 of grace, defend us. Let's discharge anyone who 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:34.099 is able to walk and just needs a follow -up. 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.409 Hello, Commander. What's going on? Mostly precautionary, 00:45:38.409 --> 00:45:41.650 but we want to be ready just in case. In case 00:45:41.650 --> 00:45:49.510 of what? Come over here. Look, Admiral Kilgallon 00:45:49.510 --> 00:45:52.250 has taken things up a notch. The prisoner we 00:45:52.250 --> 00:45:54.949 tried to see is dead, and so is the guard who 00:45:54.949 --> 00:45:58.429 murdered him. They are trying to pit it on Captain 00:45:58.429 --> 00:46:02.230 Moore. We were going to try and locate the couple 00:46:02.230 --> 00:46:03.889 who had been on the maelstrom when Maysha was 00:46:03.889 --> 00:46:06.670 brought on board. But the Admiral said if we 00:46:06.670 --> 00:46:09.550 interfered, we could time them dead too. This 00:46:09.550 --> 00:46:12.570 would also be blamed on Captain Moore. Oh dear. 00:46:13.449 --> 00:46:15.409 We are heading to Earth in hopes of clearing 00:46:15.409 --> 00:46:18.269 things up. The yellow alert is just in case we 00:46:18.269 --> 00:46:21.429 run into a hiccup. Is everything set down here? 00:46:22.190 --> 00:46:24.570 Triage is ready and most of the staff is standing 00:46:24.570 --> 00:46:29.269 by. Whatever happens, we'll be ready. I appreciate 00:46:29.269 --> 00:46:32.650 it, Liz. We're hoping the Captain can pull a 00:46:32.650 --> 00:46:37.869 rabbit out of his hat. Whatever that means. Let's 00:46:37.869 --> 00:46:40.070 get set up with supplies in case we lose power 00:46:40.070 --> 00:46:58.429 to the replicators. Captain on the bridge. There's 00:46:58.429 --> 00:47:01.269 no way I looked that good in that chair. I'm 00:47:01.269 --> 00:47:03.309 sure you looked fine in the chair in your day, 00:47:03.469 --> 00:47:07.380 sir. I don't know how much Commander Ch'rega 00:47:07.380 --> 00:47:10.539 told you, but we might have to fight our way 00:47:10.539 --> 00:47:13.599 back to Earth. She mentioned there might be some 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.840 trouble. I take it things have escalated. The 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.719 Admiral has made some threats, and I'm being 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:26.340 accused of a few things, so we need to keep up 00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:30.099 our guard. Don't worry, sir. We will be ready. 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:39.940 I appreciate it, Commander. Helm, report. Holding 00:47:39.940 --> 00:47:43.219 steady on a course to Earth, sir. Thank you, 00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:47.119 Mia. Gazig, how does Ops look? Looking good, 00:47:47.219 --> 00:47:49.579 Captain. Everything's green across the board. 00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:52.760 I'm going to assume Commander Ch'rega spoke to 00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:55.219 both of you about what is happening. Aye, sir. 00:47:55.219 --> 00:47:58.880 Yes, Captain. Good. I need both of you to be 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.800 ready for anything. That may even mean some fancy 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:05.989 flying, Mia. Yes, sir. It's about time. I know 00:48:05.989 --> 00:48:09.750 I can count on each of you to do your best. Mr. 00:48:09.849 --> 00:48:17.510 Gazig, open a ship -wide channel, please. Channel 00:48:17.510 --> 00:48:23.329 open, sir. All hands, this is the captain speaking. 00:48:24.650 --> 00:48:27.269 I'm sure many of you have heard rumors of what 00:48:27.269 --> 00:48:30.150 happened at the Celes III Rehabilitation Center. 00:48:31.449 --> 00:48:34.210 And that I and other officers on this ship... 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:36.760 are being accused of certain crimes against the 00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:41.000 Federation. Let me assure you, even though the 00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:44.420 allegations exist, the things we are being accused 00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:49.420 of are fabricated. In an effort to clear our 00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:53.400 names, resilience is en route to Earth. There, 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:56.079 we hope to plead our case before the Starfleet 00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:59.719 Judge Advocate General's office. Given the current 00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:03.159 circumstances, this is easier said than done. 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:06.400 The people making the false allegations will 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.480 stop at nothing to prevent us from getting to 00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:15.000 Earth in one piece. It is my hope, and the hope 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:18.239 of the senior staff, that we can make every peaceful 00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:21.420 attempt to get to Earth. I can't promise this 00:49:21.420 --> 00:49:24.960 will happen. It's my desire that we only fight 00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:30.119 if we have to. To that end, if any one of you 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:33.400 objects to this course of action, Please notify 00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.460 your department heads. Your names will be noted 00:49:36.460 --> 00:49:39.739 in the ship's log. As for the rest of you, be 00:49:39.739 --> 00:49:44.559 alert and vigilant. Be prepared, and pray you 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.800 won't be called upon to perform your duty. More 00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:51.920 out. Is engineering ready, Lieutenant? I guess 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.000 that will all depend, Commander. On what? On 00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:59.019 what that fool thinks he's going to do. Is he 00:49:59.019 --> 00:50:04.420 crazy? Are you serious? Ma 'am? Do you really 00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:07.760 want to do this now? What are you talking about? 00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:21.320 Strawn's office. Now. What I was really trying 00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.400 to say is... Did I tell you that you could speak? 00:50:24.659 --> 00:50:30.480 No. No what? No, ma 'am. Why aren't you standing 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:35.519 at attention, Lieutenant? Well, Lieutenant, it 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.780 seems you've been given a wide latitude lately. 00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:40.659 And for some reason, it has led you to believe 00:50:40.659 --> 00:50:42.360 that you have the right to criticize whomever 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:47.000 you wish. Is that so? Yes, ma 'am. I mean, no, 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:50.619 ma 'am. Which is it, Lieutenant? I spoke out 00:50:50.619 --> 00:50:53.320 of turn, ma 'am. I'll say you did. Permission 00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:55.880 to speak freely, ma 'am. I would dare say we've 00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:57.460 had enough of your speaking freely, Lieutenant. 00:50:58.539 --> 00:51:03.159 I suggest you stand there and listen. It appears 00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:05.760 to me that you feel like you deserve some sort 00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:07.679 of special treatment because you had a tragic 00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.260 past. Well, here's something you may not have 00:51:12.260 --> 00:51:16.519 considered. You are not the only one. So you 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:18.840 will get zero special treatment from myself or 00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:21.860 Captain Moore. Is that understood? Yes, ma 'am. 00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:26.300 Now, as for the fool, as you put it... I spoke 00:51:26.300 --> 00:51:29.119 out of turn in that instance, and I really didn't... 00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:30.820 Mean to let your thoughts and feelings be known? 00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:34.619 Yes, ma 'am. I mean, no, ma 'am. You don't seem 00:51:34.619 --> 00:51:36.340 to know whether you're coming or going, Lieutenant. 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.440 I'm going to let you in on a little insight. 00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:43.340 That fool, as you put it, is putting his career, 00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:46.579 not to mention his ass, on the line for you. 00:51:47.460 --> 00:51:49.360 Maybe you haven't stopped to think about the 00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.829 big picture here? He's facing a possible conspiracy 00:51:52.829 --> 00:51:55.269 to commit murder rap over the prisoner on Celes 00:51:55.269 --> 00:51:59.130 III. The Admiral has made it pretty clear he's 00:51:59.130 --> 00:52:01.289 not going to stop until someone pays for the 00:52:01.289 --> 00:52:02.929 trouble that we have caused in order to help 00:52:02.929 --> 00:52:06.949 you. So if he gets a hold of the Captain, what 00:52:06.949 --> 00:52:10.250 does that mean for you? I doubt you'll be accepted 00:52:10.250 --> 00:52:13.230 back into the family as a loving daughter. You 00:52:13.230 --> 00:52:17.030 know too much. And if he does take you back? 00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:19.920 It probably means more mind melds and no chance 00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:24.260 of getting back into space. Ever. But where does 00:52:24.260 --> 00:52:27.679 that leave the rest of the resilience crew? What 00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:30.820 is to become of the nearly 1 ,000 people who 00:52:30.820 --> 00:52:33.539 followed the captain's orders and had really 00:52:33.539 --> 00:52:36.860 no idea what was going on or why the Admiral 00:52:36.860 --> 00:52:39.840 was after us? Surely they're going to get to 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:41.639 go about their business and return to their lives 00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:44.860 as normal. Are you that naive to think that is 00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:49.119 what will happen? No, ma 'am. You can be angry 00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.280 with him all you want. The truth is, he already 00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:54.119 hates himself for doing what he did 20 years 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:58.960 ago. You are forgetting one thing, though. If 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:00.619 he hadn't taken you away from the soldiers and 00:53:00.619 --> 00:53:03.619 your father, you wouldn't be here today. And 00:53:03.619 --> 00:53:06.599 frankly, I'm glad that you're here with us. Thank 00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:10.840 you, Commander. He's trying hard to make things 00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:14.360 right. If he succeeds, things are going to be 00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:18.559 different. But if he fails, we are all going 00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.400 to be in some serious trouble. So what we need 00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:23.699 to do is figure out some way we can get to Earth 00:53:23.699 --> 00:53:28.940 in one piece. Aye, sir. Good. Dismissed. Amanda? 00:53:29.739 --> 00:53:38.099 Yes? Thank you. Anytime, May. She's absolutely 00:53:38.099 --> 00:53:41.199 right. There has got to be a way to get an advantage 00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:47.460 in this situation. Maybe we could... That's it. 00:53:50.460 --> 00:54:02.539 Hey, Kaylee. I have an idea. Sir, I'm picking 00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:05.360 up a ship on the edge of our sensors. What do 00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:11.260 you make of it, Mr. Gazig? It appears to be 00:54:11.260 --> 00:54:14.039 on an intercept course, sir. Commander Vex, stand 00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.679 by with shields. Be ready to arm the weapons, 00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:19.980 only if necessary. Maintain yellow alert and 00:54:19.980 --> 00:54:25.300 take no aggressive posture. Aye, sir. Sir, I'm 00:54:25.300 --> 00:54:27.880 registering a Starfleet transponder. Let's have 00:54:27.880 --> 00:55:13.030 it, mister. Sir, it's the Enterprise! Thank you. 00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:29.840 Amanda Lynn Newkirk as High Priestess T'pel. 00:55:30.460 --> 00:55:34.019 Mike Hansen as Lieutenant Michael Liebman, Ensign 00:55:34.019 --> 00:55:38.639 Graves, and Ensign Rol.
