00:00:25.208 --> 00:00:27.833
Previously on
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds...

00:00:27.875 --> 00:00:29.208
Is everything
all right, Captain?

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:30.666
We're going back out.

00:00:30.708 --> 00:00:32.375
Captain Pike.

00:00:32.416 --> 00:00:34.666
Lieutenant La'An Noonien,
Chief of Security.

00:00:34.708 --> 00:00:37.041
-La'An.
-Hey, Chief.

00:00:37.083 --> 00:00:38.416
Wait, you two know each other?

00:00:38.458 --> 00:00:40.208
She helped me
find my way back home.

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:42.458
Permission to return
to Enterprise,sir.

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.750
-What's the mission?
-Explore.

00:00:44.791 --> 00:00:46.291
We seek out new life,

00:00:46.333 --> 00:00:47.833
new civilizations.

00:00:47.875 --> 00:00:51.333
We boldly go where no one
has gone before.

00:00:53.125 --> 00:00:55.500
UNA:
First officer's log,

00:00:55.541 --> 00:00:57.958
stardate 1224.3.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.083
TheEnterprise has arrived
at Hetemit 9,

00:01:00.125 --> 00:01:03.916
the site of an abandoned
Illyrian colony.

00:01:03.958 --> 00:01:06.250
Illyrians are
a humanoid species known

00:01:06.291 --> 00:01:07.583
for modifying their genes

00:01:07.625 --> 00:01:09.000
to enhance their capabilities

00:01:09.041 --> 00:01:11.500
and levels of function.

00:01:11.541 --> 00:01:13.458
However, because
genetic modification

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:14.708
is forbidden in the Federation,

00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:17.541
they have always been outcasts.

00:01:17.583 --> 00:01:19.750
Our presence here
is part of a standing mission

00:01:19.791 --> 00:01:21.333
to discover
what happened to them.

00:01:22.375 --> 00:01:25.583
Unfortunately, research time
on the surface is limited,

00:01:25.666 --> 00:01:28.708
as the planet is regularly swept
by ion storms.

00:01:28.750 --> 00:01:32.041
One of which
is fast approaching.

00:01:34.041 --> 00:01:36.000
It's funny how
genetic modification

00:01:36.041 --> 00:01:37.208
still puts everyone on edge.

00:01:38.708 --> 00:01:40.416
Even you, it would seem.

00:01:40.458 --> 00:01:42.833
I just don't like loose ends.

00:01:44.916 --> 00:01:46.708
Damn it.
I wish we had more time.

00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:48.291
These shelters are pretty old.
We should get everyone back

00:01:48.333 --> 00:01:49.958
-to the Enterprise.
-All right, everyone,

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.541
pack up your data and head
to the rendezvous point

00:01:51.583 --> 00:01:53.166
for transport.

00:01:53.208 --> 00:01:55.375
Spock, this is Pike. Come in.

00:01:55.416 --> 00:01:57.416
The storm must be interfering.
I'll go grab him.

00:01:57.458 --> 00:01:58.750
No, no. I got him.

00:01:58.791 --> 00:02:01.416
You get the rest
of the team back home.

00:02:17.083 --> 00:02:18.125
Ensign Lance.

00:02:36.125 --> 00:02:37.541
Energize.

00:02:39.208 --> 00:02:41.791
Commander, I'm having trouble
getting a lock on your signals.

00:02:41.833 --> 00:02:43.458
The ion storm is interfering.

00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:46.458
Storm's only getting closer,
Enterprise.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:48.583
One second, Commander.

00:02:48.625 --> 00:02:50.833
Energizing.

00:02:58.125 --> 00:03:00.333
Transporter Room to Engineering.
Hemmer, I'm losing them.

00:03:00.375 --> 00:03:04.041
Rerouting auxiliary power.
Get ready.

00:03:05.833 --> 00:03:07.625
Chief Hemmer to Bridge.

00:03:07.666 --> 00:03:10.541
Prepare for temporary engagement
of emergency systems backups.

00:03:33.625 --> 00:03:36.041
Engineering to Transporter.
Try it now.

00:03:36.083 --> 00:03:38.875
What the...?
How did you...?

00:03:38.916 --> 00:03:41.333
I am a genius. Move quickly.

00:03:41.375 --> 00:03:43.375
Copy.

00:03:50.041 --> 00:03:52.125
Better not be out of miracles,
Mr. Kyle.

00:03:52.166 --> 00:03:54.541
Captain and Mr. Spock
are still on the surface.

00:04:02.208 --> 00:04:04.250
Captain, I think
I've managed to uncover

00:04:04.291 --> 00:04:05.583
a previously undiscovered cache

00:04:05.625 --> 00:04:07.208
of journals
that may be relevant.

00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:08.583
-I'm looking forward
to reading them.
-Great.

00:04:08.625 --> 00:04:09.958
How about we get
to the rendezvous point

00:04:09.958 --> 00:04:11.416
before the storm
overtakes us, so you can?

00:04:20.541 --> 00:04:23.125
Pike to Enterprise.
Two to beam up.

00:04:28.291 --> 00:04:31.166
- I can't get a lock.

00:04:31.208 --> 00:04:33.250
-Pull more power.
-Power's not gonna help.

00:04:33.291 --> 00:04:34.666
The ion storm is too strong.

00:04:34.708 --> 00:04:36.166
We try to transport them
through that,

00:04:36.208 --> 00:04:38.125
who knows when we'll get back?

00:04:38.208 --> 00:04:40.750
Number One to Captain Pike.

00:04:40.791 --> 00:04:43.708
You and Mr. Spock should find
shelter until the storm passes,

00:04:43.750 --> 00:04:45.583
-and quickly.
-Copy, Number One.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.458
PIKE:
Suggestions, Mr. Spock?

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.291
Run.

00:04:58.208 --> 00:05:00.208
PIKE:
Space.

00:05:01.250 --> 00:05:03.666
The final frontier.

00:05:05.625 --> 00:05:09.375
These are the voyages
of the starshipEnterprise.

00:05:10.375 --> 00:05:13.208
Its five-year mission:

00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:16.458
to explore strange new worlds...

00:05:18.416 --> 00:05:20.916
...to seek out new life

00:05:20.958 --> 00:05:24.541
and new civilizations,

00:05:24.583 --> 00:05:28.625
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

00:06:58.958 --> 00:07:01.791
The captain and Mr. Spock
are stuck on the surface.

00:07:01.833 --> 00:07:03.708
As soon as it's safe,
we'll get them back.

00:07:03.750 --> 00:07:05.250
In the meantime,

00:07:05.291 --> 00:07:08.750
we do our jobs. Cadet Uhura,

00:07:08.833 --> 00:07:10.166
can you get a signal?

00:07:10.208 --> 00:07:11.958
No, Commander.

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.375
The ion storm is functionally
a communications blackout.

00:07:15.416 --> 00:07:17.375
I want to know the second
you connect with the captain.

00:07:17.416 --> 00:07:20.458
-Yes, Commander.
-Lieutenant Wheeler,

00:07:20.458 --> 00:07:22.166
I want round-the-clock
monitoring of the storm.

00:07:22.208 --> 00:07:24.458
The second it starts to let up,
I want to know.

00:07:24.541 --> 00:07:26.333
And tell Chief Kyle
to have relief ready.

00:07:26.416 --> 00:07:28.541
I want the transporter
standing by.

00:07:35.666 --> 00:07:36.916
ORTEGAS:
Ensign Lance?

00:07:36.958 --> 00:07:38.250
Are you all right?

00:07:38.291 --> 00:07:39.666
It's too dark in here.

00:07:39.708 --> 00:07:42.250
Okay, it's been a long day
for all of us.

00:07:42.291 --> 00:07:45.375
But maybe this is something
you should, you know,

00:07:45.416 --> 00:07:47.375
do in your own quarters?

00:07:47.416 --> 00:07:49.416
LANCE:
I need to feel the light
on my skin.

00:07:51.666 --> 00:07:54.333
Whatever tweaks your freak, pal.

00:07:57.083 --> 00:07:58.083
What the hell are you doing?

00:07:58.125 --> 00:07:59.500
Ortegas to Security.

00:07:59.541 --> 00:08:01.250
I need help on Deck 14.

00:08:18.083 --> 00:08:21.291
Computer,
increase illumination 25%.

00:08:53.166 --> 00:08:54.750
Number One to Dr. M'Benga.

00:08:54.791 --> 00:08:57.458
What is the status
of the landing party?

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.208
M'BENGA:
Good evening, Commander.
Funny you should mention it.

00:09:00.208 --> 00:09:02.333
I have several of them
in here as we speak,

00:09:02.375 --> 00:09:04.875
presenting with some
very curious symptoms.

00:09:04.916 --> 00:09:07.958
I was about to call you.
Are you feeling all right?

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.958
-I'm okay.
-Better come down here

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.291
and let me check you out,
just in case.

00:09:13.333 --> 00:09:14.750
On my way.

00:09:27.791 --> 00:09:29.250
M'BENGA:
It's odd.

00:09:29.291 --> 00:09:32.833
Half of them have burned
or shocked themselves,

00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:35.875
all on sources of illumination,
and yet

00:09:35.916 --> 00:09:38.708
the light's the only thing
that seems to calm them down.

00:09:38.750 --> 00:09:41.916
They're being attracted
to light.

00:09:41.958 --> 00:09:45.500
So much so they're willing
to hurt themselves to get to it.

00:09:45.541 --> 00:09:49.666
I take it you haven't exhibited
any of these unusual behaviors?

00:09:49.708 --> 00:09:52.416
No.

00:09:52.458 --> 00:09:53.958
You found nothing else
in their systems?

00:09:53.958 --> 00:09:55.708
No form of contagion?

00:09:55.750 --> 00:09:57.750
Well, the transporter's
biofilters

00:09:57.791 --> 00:09:59.666
would have screened out
anything abnormal.

00:09:59.708 --> 00:10:03.250
But I ran viral and bacterial
scans anyway as a precaution.

00:10:03.291 --> 00:10:05.083
They're clean.

00:10:05.125 --> 00:10:07.000
Only thing I've been able
to find

00:10:07.041 --> 00:10:09.375
is a severe drop
in cholecalciferol.

00:10:11.125 --> 00:10:13.666
Vitamin D?

00:10:13.708 --> 00:10:16.000
All show levels in the red.

00:10:16.041 --> 00:10:19.208
Outside of this
and the aberrant behavior,

00:10:19.250 --> 00:10:20.833
you'd never know they were sick.

00:10:20.875 --> 00:10:22.625
How were my vitamin D levels?

00:10:22.666 --> 00:10:24.583
Normal.

00:10:24.625 --> 00:10:29.166
Whatever affected them
seems to have missed you.

00:10:29.208 --> 00:10:32.000
I'd like to take a blood sample
nonetheless.

00:10:32.041 --> 00:10:34.291
Commander?

00:10:34.333 --> 00:10:36.416
Of course.

00:10:36.458 --> 00:10:39.791
Have you been able to reach
the captain and Mr. Spock?

00:10:39.833 --> 00:10:42.583
Still too much interference
with the storm.

00:10:45.041 --> 00:10:46.416
We'll have to hope
they weren't exposed

00:10:46.458 --> 00:10:48.166
to whatever this is.

00:10:48.208 --> 00:10:50.416
I have to believe the landing
party came into contact

00:10:50.458 --> 00:10:53.375
with something down there
that the biofilters missed.

00:10:53.416 --> 00:10:55.208
HEMMER:
Nonsense.

00:10:55.250 --> 00:10:56.416
The biofilters would have caught

00:10:56.458 --> 00:10:58.458
any contamination
during transport.

00:10:58.458 --> 00:11:00.583
Unless it was something they
weren't programmed to catch.

00:11:00.625 --> 00:11:02.166
Can't happen.

00:11:02.208 --> 00:11:04.416
If they don't recognize it,
they filter it out.

00:11:04.458 --> 00:11:07.500
What about the ion storm? Could
that have interfered with it?

00:11:07.541 --> 00:11:09.458
-No.
-

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:11.375
I mean...

00:11:12.333 --> 00:11:13.541
...it shouldn't have.

00:11:13.583 --> 00:11:14.833
And yet M'Benga's got four

00:11:14.875 --> 00:11:16.958
landing party members
in sickbay.

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.500
Anything else abnormal during
transport you can think of?

00:11:20.541 --> 00:11:22.500
Besides the landing party's
atoms

00:11:22.541 --> 00:11:26.291
almost getting mixed up into
a puddle of bioorganic stew?

00:11:26.333 --> 00:11:27.875
No.

00:11:27.916 --> 00:11:30.041
I can sense that expression,
you know.

00:11:30.083 --> 00:11:32.583
Oh, I know.

00:11:32.625 --> 00:11:35.583
You had to pull a lot of power
to keep pattern stabilization.

00:11:35.666 --> 00:11:38.166
Could that have inhibited
the biofilters?

00:11:38.208 --> 00:11:39.791
Not only are all
the ship's transporters

00:11:39.833 --> 00:11:42.166
networked for emergency power
distribution,

00:11:42.208 --> 00:11:44.791
the new systems have discrete
backups for biofilters

00:11:44.833 --> 00:11:46.125
and pattern stabilizers.

00:11:48.083 --> 00:11:53.000
I will run a level 5 diagnostic
ship-wide.

00:11:53.041 --> 00:11:55.208
-To make you feel better,
Commander.
-Thank you.

00:11:55.208 --> 00:11:59.166
Which, I might add,
may well take all night.

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.708
UNA:
On screen.

00:12:12.750 --> 00:12:14.166
Number One?

00:12:14.208 --> 00:12:16.250
Are you and Lieutenant Spock
all right?

00:12:16.291 --> 00:12:18.541
We're fine, but the storm has
us pinned down in the library.

00:12:18.583 --> 00:12:21.666
We have an emerging situation
here.

00:12:21.708 --> 00:12:24.250
Landing party members
are getting ill.

00:12:24.291 --> 00:12:26.125
The doctor thinks
they were exposed

00:12:26.166 --> 00:12:27.625
to something on the surface.

00:12:27.666 --> 00:12:30.166
:
What kind of something?

00:12:30.208 --> 00:12:32.458
Apologies.
The signal's out again.

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:34.375
The storm's interference
is too strong.

00:12:39.666 --> 00:12:41.000
UNA:
Computer, show me everything
you have

00:12:41.041 --> 00:12:42.791
on Illyrian
genetic modifications,

00:12:42.833 --> 00:12:44.875
specifically related
to disease control.

00:12:44.916 --> 00:12:47.125
COMPUTER:
Working.

00:12:47.166 --> 00:12:48.958
Computer,
isolate any files pertaining

00:12:48.958 --> 00:12:50.541
to the original
Illyrian settlement

00:12:50.583 --> 00:12:52.291
on the Vaultera Nebula.

00:12:52.333 --> 00:12:55.125
Records are limited.

00:12:57.208 --> 00:12:59.458
You wanted to see me, Chief?

00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:02.708
Yes. Several landing party
members

00:13:02.791 --> 00:13:06.083
are showing symptoms
of some kind of contamination.

00:13:06.125 --> 00:13:07.500
Security needs
to keep an eye out

00:13:07.541 --> 00:13:09.500
for anyone exhibiting
strange behavior.

00:13:09.583 --> 00:13:10.791
Mm-hmm.

00:13:12.291 --> 00:13:14.541
Illyrians?

00:13:14.583 --> 00:13:17.708
You think this contamination
might be related to them?

00:13:17.750 --> 00:13:19.750
I don't know what to think.
I'm just doing research.

00:13:19.791 --> 00:13:22.458
Well, it seems to me,
things like this are exactly

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:25.708
why the Federation is so wary
of genetically-modified species

00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:27.125
like the Illyrians.

00:13:27.166 --> 00:13:28.750
You start breaking down
the genetic code,

00:13:28.791 --> 00:13:30.958
who knows what the unexpected
consequences can be?

00:13:30.958 --> 00:13:33.375
If the problem originated
with the Illyrians,

00:13:33.416 --> 00:13:35.500
maybe they could also
provide us with a cure.

00:13:35.541 --> 00:13:37.666
Isn't using any Illyrian
medical tech

00:13:37.708 --> 00:13:38.958
against Federation regs?

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.875
Thanks to the Eugenics Wars.

00:13:41.916 --> 00:13:45.250
I imagine you know all about
that period in history.

00:13:47.375 --> 00:13:50.291
Well, you don't grow up with
a bioengineered mass murderer

00:13:50.333 --> 00:13:53.500
as your ancestor
and not develop a thick skin.

00:13:53.583 --> 00:13:55.458
Khan Noonien Singh.

00:13:55.541 --> 00:13:59.625
Made myself a kind of an expert
on him when I was a kid.

00:14:01.250 --> 00:14:03.750
I never think of you as a child.

00:14:03.791 --> 00:14:04.875
Yeah.

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:07.500
For a while there,
the worst thing

00:14:07.541 --> 00:14:09.166
that had ever happened to me

00:14:09.208 --> 00:14:12.416
was a bunch of
the other kids' teasing.

00:14:12.458 --> 00:14:15.291
I'd hope that someone
with your last name would know

00:14:15.333 --> 00:14:17.958
that snap judgments made
on genetics are faulty at best.

00:14:17.958 --> 00:14:21.541
Individuals are
so much more than just...

00:14:21.583 --> 00:14:23.958
Is it me or is it dark in here?

00:14:27.041 --> 00:14:29.708
-UNA: La'An?
-

00:14:29.791 --> 00:14:31.875
Is this the only light you have?

00:14:31.916 --> 00:14:33.375
Number One to Dr. M'Benga?

00:14:33.416 --> 00:14:34.458
M'BENGA:
Commander?

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:37.375
I think we have a new problem.

00:14:39.541 --> 00:14:41.291
M'BENGA:
Same vitamin D deficiency.

00:14:41.333 --> 00:14:42.833
Same attraction to light.

00:14:42.875 --> 00:14:44.166
She wasn't part
of the landing party.

00:14:44.208 --> 00:14:44.916
She never went down
to the planet.

00:14:44.958 --> 00:14:46.458
I know.

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.916
How is that possible?
How is it spreading?

00:14:48.958 --> 00:14:50.958
-I don't know.
-Internal contact tracing

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.958
shows that Lieutenant Noonien
shared a turbolift

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.791
with Ensign Lance.

00:14:54.833 --> 00:14:57.000
-It's a possible source
of exposure.
-M'BENGA: Maybe.

00:14:57.083 --> 00:14:58.958
Except whatever it is
isn't being passed

00:14:58.958 --> 00:15:02.333
by any traceable viral
or bacteriological means.

00:15:02.375 --> 00:15:04.083
What do you recommend, Doctor?

00:15:04.125 --> 00:15:07.833
To keep it from spreading,
full lockdown.

00:15:10.125 --> 00:15:12.541
UNA:
Computer, open a channel
ship-wide.

00:15:12.583 --> 00:15:14.416
Attention all crew members,

00:15:14.458 --> 00:15:16.833
we are initiating
Level Five lockdown protocol,

00:15:16.875 --> 00:15:18.875
effective immediately.

00:15:18.916 --> 00:15:22.666
All nonessential personnel
will be confined to quarters

00:15:22.708 --> 00:15:24.125
until further notice.

00:15:24.166 --> 00:15:26.083
All on-duty personnel

00:15:26.125 --> 00:15:30.208
will be confined to specific
work zones until further notice.

00:15:35.541 --> 00:15:37.458
You have your orders.

00:15:48.083 --> 00:15:50.375
I believe there is
a human phrase.

00:15:50.416 --> 00:15:52.333
"A watched kettle never boils."

00:15:52.375 --> 00:15:53.583
It's a pot.

00:15:53.625 --> 00:15:55.458
And in this case,
I'm pretty sure

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:57.583
we're gonna get hit
with the scalding water.

00:15:57.666 --> 00:15:59.791
You are deliberately mixing
my metaphor

00:15:59.833 --> 00:16:02.333
in order to indulge
your anxiety.

00:16:02.375 --> 00:16:05.958
There are sick people on my
ship, and we're stuck down here?

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.000
I don't like feeling helpless.

00:16:09.041 --> 00:16:10.583
Pacing relentlessly
back and forth

00:16:10.625 --> 00:16:12.083
will not change the situation.

00:16:16.291 --> 00:16:19.375
PIKE:
This place is fun.
They should sell tickets.

00:16:20.375 --> 00:16:21.750
It seems this particular group
of Illyrians

00:16:21.791 --> 00:16:23.750
wanted to join the Federation.

00:16:25.958 --> 00:16:28.833
As Federation law forbids
genetic manipulation,

00:16:28.916 --> 00:16:31.250
this group was attempting
to reverse its DNA modifications

00:16:31.291 --> 00:16:32.958
to gain entry.

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.041
De-engineering themselves,
as it were.

00:16:35.083 --> 00:16:37.458
-That's a new one.
-Indeed.

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:39.875
Any clue as to what happened
to the colony?

00:16:39.916 --> 00:16:42.375
I am only halfway through
these records, Captain.

00:16:43.458 --> 00:16:44.916
Consider maybe skipping
to the end

00:16:44.958 --> 00:16:46.791
before the storm tears
the building apart?

00:17:04.125 --> 00:17:06.291
Tell me you saw that, too.

00:17:06.333 --> 00:17:08.083
I did.

00:17:08.125 --> 00:17:11.916
Although what I saw,
exactly, I am not sure.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.000
UHURA:
What are y'all doing?

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.041
Computer, end simulation!

00:17:40.916 --> 00:17:43.083
-What did you do that for?!
-We need light!

00:17:43.125 --> 00:17:45.041
UNA:
How many more?

00:17:45.083 --> 00:17:47.000
Almost 50. I had to open

00:17:47.041 --> 00:17:49.416
our auxiliary bay
to handle the overflow.

00:17:49.458 --> 00:17:50.750
CHAPEL:
Contact tracing
is all over the map.

00:17:50.791 --> 00:17:52.250
Some people are getting it

00:17:52.291 --> 00:17:53.958
after being down the hall
from someone who's sick.

00:17:54.041 --> 00:17:55.583
Meanwhile,
Cadet Uhura's roommates

00:17:55.625 --> 00:17:58.208
both came down with it,
she's completely fine.

00:18:04.291 --> 00:18:06.000
UNA:
Hemmer, did you find anything?

00:18:06.041 --> 00:18:07.791
Of course. That's why
I'm wandering around the ship

00:18:07.833 --> 00:18:10.000
in the middle of the night
running diagnostics.

00:18:10.041 --> 00:18:11.875
For fun.

00:18:11.916 --> 00:18:14.041
Doctor, we need to check your
emergency medical transporter

00:18:14.083 --> 00:18:17.250
for systems integration
and excess power usage.

00:18:17.291 --> 00:18:19.416
Please!

00:18:19.458 --> 00:18:21.666
I have research in there.

00:18:26.750 --> 00:18:29.208
You doing anything right now?

00:18:29.291 --> 00:18:30.750
If you hadn't noticed,
I'm in the middle

00:18:30.791 --> 00:18:32.666
of a ship-wide
medical emergency.

00:18:32.708 --> 00:18:35.083
Trust me, I've noticed.

00:18:39.458 --> 00:18:41.458
My medical transporter is fine.

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:43.375
That shouldn't have affected
the lights.

00:18:43.416 --> 00:18:45.708
Please stop messing around
in here!

00:18:47.083 --> 00:18:49.500
You're only making things worse.

00:18:52.166 --> 00:18:54.666
Point taken.

00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:22.666
Whatever made that sound,
looks like it's gone.

00:19:22.708 --> 00:19:24.666
A curious figure of speech.

00:19:28.125 --> 00:19:30.083
Captain.

00:19:36.125 --> 00:19:38.458
-I think we know
what made that sound.
-Indeed.

00:19:48.083 --> 00:19:49.666
Oh, you're lucky.

00:19:49.708 --> 00:19:51.666
Any closer and that
could have hit the carotid.

00:19:51.708 --> 00:19:53.125
On a human.

00:19:53.208 --> 00:19:55.041
The journals did mention
unconfirmed rumors

00:19:55.083 --> 00:19:56.791
of creatures
living inside the storms.

00:19:56.833 --> 00:19:58.541
I think we can confirm them.

00:20:04.958 --> 00:20:07.791
What do you think the odds are
that'll hold?

00:20:07.833 --> 00:20:10.083
Perhaps we should weight
probability in our favor.

00:20:12.291 --> 00:20:16.583
A lockdown is instituted,
you're off duty, you come here.

00:20:16.666 --> 00:20:20.000
Your roommates contract
the contagion, you do not.

00:20:20.041 --> 00:20:21.375
Why?

00:20:21.416 --> 00:20:23.458
UHURA:
I went to bed.

00:20:31.458 --> 00:20:32.625
Like this?

00:20:32.666 --> 00:20:34.625
I closed the door.

00:20:34.666 --> 00:20:36.750
I need it pitch-black
to fall asleep.

00:20:36.791 --> 00:20:38.208
I'm like The Princess and the...

00:20:39.208 --> 00:20:40.458
...Peathat way.

00:20:49.083 --> 00:20:51.791
Uhura wa*posed to the same
conditions as her roommates,

00:20:51.833 --> 00:20:55.916
with one exception:
she was in the dark.

00:20:55.958 --> 00:20:58.333
I ran an electromagnetic scan
on the ship.

00:20:58.375 --> 00:21:00.708
Around infected crew members,

00:21:00.708 --> 00:21:04.166
light waves carry
additional energy.

00:21:04.208 --> 00:21:07.125
The contagion travels on light.

00:21:07.166 --> 00:21:10.458
Insidious.

00:21:10.458 --> 00:21:13.041
And remarkable.

00:21:13.083 --> 00:21:15.708
The most successful viruses
propagate in a host,

00:21:15.750 --> 00:21:17.708
then trigger
a spreading response.

00:21:17.750 --> 00:21:19.958
The way a common cold
makes humans sneeze

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.208
to transfer itself
to other humans.

00:21:22.208 --> 00:21:25.208
Once we're exposed,
this virus triggers

00:21:25.250 --> 00:21:28.375
our pleasure centers when we are
in close contact with light.

00:21:28.416 --> 00:21:30.500
Light is literally everywhere.

00:21:30.541 --> 00:21:32.083
Any light wave could carry
the infection.

00:21:32.125 --> 00:21:33.708
CHAPEL:
It's only a matter of time

00:21:33.750 --> 00:21:37.291
before we all become infected
if we don't stop it.

00:21:37.333 --> 00:21:39.000
So how do we stop it?

00:21:39.041 --> 00:21:40.875
What's the one thing
we can control

00:21:40.916 --> 00:21:42.250
that counteracts light?

00:21:42.291 --> 00:21:44.458
Dark hates light,
light hates dark.

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:46.791
So we turn off the lights.

00:21:46.833 --> 00:21:48.208
We have a sickbay
full of patients

00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:50.125
who are essentially
light addicts.

00:21:50.166 --> 00:21:52.250
The virus is gonna make them
very uncomfortable.

00:21:52.291 --> 00:21:56.791
Would it be too intrusive
to sedate all of them?

00:21:58.041 --> 00:21:59.708
Given the alternative...

00:22:01.666 --> 00:22:03.791
...I think it's the best option.

00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:20.583
Computer,
narrow search parameters

00:22:20.625 --> 00:22:22.333
to Illyrian
genetic modifications.

00:22:22.375 --> 00:22:24.625
-COMPUTER: Classified.
-Override.

00:22:27.708 --> 00:22:29.708
Narrow search parameters
to Illyrian

00:22:29.750 --> 00:22:32.666
genetic modifications
related to disease control.

00:22:32.708 --> 00:22:34.375
-Classified.
-Override. Override.

00:22:45.666 --> 00:22:48.541
Alert. Blackout override
in Transporter Room.

00:22:48.583 --> 00:22:51.625
Danger of critical
circuit overload.

00:22:51.666 --> 00:22:53.250
Commander Chin-Riley
to Transporter Room.

00:22:53.291 --> 00:22:55.500
-What's going on?
-

00:22:56.458 --> 00:22:58.958
Acknowledge.

00:23:01.250 --> 00:23:03.500
Computer, clear screen.

00:23:23.916 --> 00:23:25.958
Hemmer, what are you doing?

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:27.541
Performing a miracle.

00:23:27.583 --> 00:23:30.458
Come in. You'll enjoy it.

00:23:32.625 --> 00:23:35.541
What is that thing?

00:23:35.583 --> 00:23:37.708
An iron-sulfur alloy, I believe.

00:23:37.750 --> 00:23:41.166
It took all my skills to isolate
a portion that could transport

00:23:41.208 --> 00:23:43.250
from the core of Hetemit 9.

00:23:43.291 --> 00:23:45.583
It's not fully materialized.

00:23:45.625 --> 00:23:48.333
You're transporting a piece
of the planet's core?

00:23:48.375 --> 00:23:50.583
Mantle, to be precise.

00:23:50.625 --> 00:23:53.666
I want to feel the radiance
on my skin.

00:23:53.708 --> 00:23:56.583
I've almost stabilized
the signal.

00:23:56.666 --> 00:23:58.791
Hemmer, it's a thousand degrees.
It'll kill you.

00:23:58.833 --> 00:24:01.041
More like 10,000.

00:24:01.083 --> 00:24:02.958
Just a few seconds more
and it'll be here.

00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:08.375
Hemmer, stop!

00:24:58.916 --> 00:25:01.083
Does that thing have
a setting for stun?

00:25:01.166 --> 00:25:02.958
I am arming us with knowledge.

00:25:04.458 --> 00:25:06.000
You think the Illyrians knew
how to stop these things?

00:25:06.083 --> 00:25:07.958
Perhaps.
But even if they did not,

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.791
we may be able to learn
from their misfortune.

00:25:11.375 --> 00:25:13.166
I have deduced that these
creatures did not destroy them.

00:25:13.208 --> 00:25:14.791
That, in fact,
they began to appear

00:25:14.875 --> 00:25:16.291
as the Illyrians were starting
to be wiped out

00:25:16.333 --> 00:25:17.708
by a mysterious disease.

00:25:17.708 --> 00:25:21.208
I'm still waiting
for the useful part.

00:25:21.250 --> 00:25:22.875
SPOCK:
I have found no entry describing

00:25:22.916 --> 00:25:25.083
the creatures causing harm
to the colonists.

00:25:27.583 --> 00:25:30.125
My ears are popping.

00:25:30.166 --> 00:25:31.875
The atmospheric pressure
is rising.

00:25:31.916 --> 00:25:33.250
Ionization levels in the storm

00:25:33.291 --> 00:25:34.625
are now lethal
to organic matter.

00:25:51.375 --> 00:25:52.416
Ground.

00:26:34.708 --> 00:26:37.708
-Looks like they're gone.
-Indeed.

00:26:37.750 --> 00:26:41.166
And thanks to them,
it would seem, we are not.

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:47.291
How in the exact hell
are you carrying him?

00:26:47.333 --> 00:26:50.000
UNA:
Never mind. He needs to be
sedated before he wakes up.

00:26:50.041 --> 00:26:52.041
I'm afraid I'm going
to have to be next.

00:26:54.291 --> 00:26:57.875
My cholecalciferol levels
are plunging.

00:26:57.916 --> 00:27:00.791
And it's down to Nurse Chapel
and myself, I'm afraid.

00:27:02.791 --> 00:27:04.541
You took my blood earlier.

00:27:04.583 --> 00:27:06.541
Did you find anything that
could help synthesize a cure?

00:27:06.583 --> 00:27:08.208
-Just because you haven't
caught this thing yet...
-I'm immune.

00:27:08.250 --> 00:27:11.000
-You don't know that.
-I've already come down with it,

00:27:11.041 --> 00:27:14.416
and my immune system did what
it was bioengineered to do.

00:27:14.458 --> 00:27:17.625
I didn't tell you earlier
because...

00:27:19.958 --> 00:27:21.500
...I'm an Illyrian.

00:27:23.125 --> 00:27:25.333
-Would that even work?
-No.

00:27:25.375 --> 00:27:28.375
Why not? My body knew how
to fight off the infection.

00:27:28.416 --> 00:27:30.500
It's not that simple.
There are other factors.

00:27:30.541 --> 00:27:32.291
Neither of us has
any experience with...

00:27:32.333 --> 00:27:34.458
your unique metabolism.

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:36.333
Mm.

00:27:36.375 --> 00:27:37.333
Why do I get the feeling
you're about to quote

00:27:37.375 --> 00:27:38.625
Starfleet regulations?

00:27:38.666 --> 00:27:39.666
Oh, no, I'm not. I just--

00:27:39.708 --> 00:27:41.125
Look, I know there's a directive

00:27:41.166 --> 00:27:42.458
against mixing human
and Illyrian blood,

00:27:42.541 --> 00:27:45.166
but I couldn't
care less right now.

00:27:45.208 --> 00:27:46.958
Then why are we wasting time?

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:48.666
-Go.

00:27:50.875 --> 00:27:53.833
-What is the issue?
-I've looked at your blood.

00:27:53.875 --> 00:27:55.875
It has no novel antibodies.

00:27:55.916 --> 00:27:59.458
And that is consistent with what
I know of Illyrian biochemistry.

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:03.958
You don't create antibodies
that lie dormant.

00:28:04.041 --> 00:28:06.083
Your immune system
literally burns out

00:28:06.125 --> 00:28:08.541
new infections immediately.

00:28:12.625 --> 00:28:17.541
Which means I have nothing left
to synthesize an antidote from.

00:28:17.583 --> 00:28:20.791
So I'm protected
but I can't help anyone else?

00:28:20.833 --> 00:28:24.458
Perhaps if I was there
at the moment you were infected.

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:26.125
-You'd better put me out.
-UNA: No, no, no, wait.

00:28:26.166 --> 00:28:27.750
We'll come up with something.

00:28:27.791 --> 00:28:29.958
-There's nothing
to come up with.
-

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.875
You're a Starfleet doctor.
There's always something.

00:28:35.916 --> 00:28:38.291
You put a lot of faith
in Starfleet.

00:28:38.333 --> 00:28:40.166
That must be hard.

00:28:41.375 --> 00:28:44.375
Starfleet is right
about a lot of things,

00:28:44.416 --> 00:28:46.375
but not all of them.

00:28:46.416 --> 00:28:48.208
Not about us.

00:28:48.250 --> 00:28:50.708
-If my blood...
-I understand.

00:28:50.750 --> 00:28:53.750
Prejudice has kept people from
helping each other for centuries

00:28:53.791 --> 00:28:56.875
with no scientific
justification.

00:28:56.916 --> 00:28:59.500
And after we met our neighbors
in the galaxy,

00:28:59.541 --> 00:29:02.750
we found new bigotries.

00:29:03.708 --> 00:29:06.208
Human and Vulcan blood.

00:29:06.250 --> 00:29:08.708
Now it's human and Illyrian.

00:29:10.125 --> 00:29:13.416
In any case,
they're meaningless to me.

00:29:13.458 --> 00:29:16.666
I am a physician.

00:29:16.708 --> 00:29:18.875
I'd beg you to help
if you could,

00:29:18.916 --> 00:29:21.375
regulations be damned.

00:29:21.416 --> 00:29:23.458
But you can't help here.

00:29:25.416 --> 00:29:27.625
I'm sorry.

00:29:32.708 --> 00:29:36.000
Now put me out.
Before I lose control.

00:29:38.583 --> 00:29:42.000
COMPUTER:
Warning. Warp core containment
field has been deactivated.

00:29:42.041 --> 00:29:45.958
Recommend reestablishing
containment field immediately.

00:29:51.375 --> 00:29:54.791
Warning. Warp core containment
field has been deactivated.

00:29:54.833 --> 00:29:57.375
Warp core breach imminent.

00:29:57.416 --> 00:29:58.666
La'An.

00:30:06.958 --> 00:30:09.208
Warning. Containment field
has been deactivated.

00:30:09.250 --> 00:30:11.125
Warp core breach imminent.

00:30:11.166 --> 00:30:13.208
UNA:
La'An, stop.

00:30:13.250 --> 00:30:14.708
Back away from the panel.

00:30:14.750 --> 00:30:17.583
-That's an order.
-Denied, Commander.

00:30:17.625 --> 00:30:20.416
You know what'll happen if that
containment field goes down.

00:30:20.458 --> 00:30:23.833
We'll be flooded with light.

00:30:23.875 --> 00:30:25.958
La'An, stop.

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.875
Danger of exposure
to matter/antimatter radiation.

00:30:28.916 --> 00:30:31.250
Containment field at 75%.

00:30:31.291 --> 00:30:33.375
Seventy percent.

00:30:33.458 --> 00:30:35.750
Fifty-five percent.

00:30:35.791 --> 00:30:37.666
Radiation nearing
critical levels.

00:30:37.708 --> 00:30:39.041
LA'AN:
Let me go.

00:30:42.458 --> 00:30:45.666
Containment field at 40%.

00:30:45.708 --> 00:30:47.666
Get off of me!

00:30:47.708 --> 00:30:49.208
I'm trying to help you.
It's me, La'An.

00:30:49.208 --> 00:30:51.916
You know me. I'm your friend.

00:30:51.958 --> 00:30:53.375
You lied to me
every day for years.

00:30:53.416 --> 00:30:54.708
What kind of friend is that?

00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:56.833
-30%.
-You're an abomination.

00:30:56.875 --> 00:30:58.666
An augment.

00:30:58.708 --> 00:30:59.958
That's what the other kids
called me

00:31:00.041 --> 00:31:02.583
when they heard my name:
augment, monster.

00:31:02.625 --> 00:31:06.000
Like you are.

00:31:06.041 --> 00:31:09.083
Radiation levels are now toxic
to organic species.

00:31:09.125 --> 00:31:10.583
Warp core breach imminent.

00:31:22.416 --> 00:31:23.958
Pike to Enterprise.
Do you read me?

00:31:26.666 --> 00:31:29.208
I think it's safe to go
back out now.

00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:31.208
We'll get a stronger signal.

00:31:36.416 --> 00:31:40.375
Those plasma creatures...

00:31:40.416 --> 00:31:42.791
they went to great lengths
to save our lives.

00:31:42.833 --> 00:31:45.958
They shielded us
when the storm broke through.

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.250
Why wouldn't they have done
the same for the colonists?

00:31:49.291 --> 00:31:51.541
I see two possibilities.

00:31:51.583 --> 00:31:53.250
They were not motivated
to save them

00:31:53.291 --> 00:31:55.375
because of some previous
interaction with the colonists.

00:31:55.416 --> 00:31:57.541
And the second?

00:31:58.833 --> 00:32:00.666
They were unable to save
the colonists

00:32:00.708 --> 00:32:03.041
because they are the colonists.

00:32:03.083 --> 00:32:05.333
How?

00:32:05.416 --> 00:32:06.916
I found mention
of some odd behavior

00:32:06.958 --> 00:32:09.625
in reaction to the disease
I mentioned earlier.

00:32:09.666 --> 00:32:12.500
The infected had a compulsion
for light.

00:32:12.541 --> 00:32:15.833
Some were driven so mad,
they ran into the storms,

00:32:15.875 --> 00:32:17.250
chasing the lightning.

00:32:17.291 --> 00:32:18.958
Wouldn't they have died?

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:20.875
Yes.

00:32:22.875 --> 00:32:24.833
Although it is possible
the charged storm particles

00:32:24.916 --> 00:32:26.916
bonded with the colonists'
electromagnetic presence,

00:32:26.958 --> 00:32:29.083
creating what we saw.

00:32:32.541 --> 00:32:34.416
Fascinating.

00:32:46.791 --> 00:32:49.291
This is a thorough account
of the colonists' initiative

00:32:49.333 --> 00:32:50.916
to renounce
their genetic engineering

00:32:50.958 --> 00:32:53.000
in order to join the Federation.

00:32:54.958 --> 00:32:56.958
It would seem, even in death,

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.958
they wanted us to be aware
of who they really were.

00:33:05.208 --> 00:33:06.625
What is it, Spock?

00:33:08.583 --> 00:33:10.958
Some Illyrians were,
among other things,

00:33:10.958 --> 00:33:13.500
bioengineered to fight disease.

00:33:13.541 --> 00:33:16.041
Had they not tried to reverse
their augmentation,

00:33:16.083 --> 00:33:17.958
they may not have all died.

00:33:19.958 --> 00:33:22.291
They wanted to join
the Federation so badly

00:33:22.333 --> 00:33:25.625
their good-faith gesture
got them killed.

00:33:30.458 --> 00:33:32.000
UNA:
It's okay.

00:33:32.041 --> 00:33:35.208
It's okay. We got an antidote.

00:33:35.250 --> 00:33:36.833
La'An tried to jump
into the warp core

00:33:36.875 --> 00:33:39.208
while the containment
field was down.

00:33:39.208 --> 00:33:41.500
As I was stopping her,
she got a bad dose of radiation,

00:33:41.541 --> 00:33:43.500
and so did I.

00:33:43.541 --> 00:33:45.541
Apparently, my body
cured both of us

00:33:45.583 --> 00:33:47.875
before I reengaged the field.

00:33:47.916 --> 00:33:49.833
La'An is not an Illyrian.

00:33:49.875 --> 00:33:53.708
Her proximity to the commander
created chimeric antibodies

00:33:53.750 --> 00:33:55.541
in her system.

00:33:55.583 --> 00:33:58.166
I was able to synthesize them
into a cure before they set.

00:33:58.208 --> 00:34:02.125
Don't thank me.
I know I'm good at my job.

00:34:04.541 --> 00:34:07.666
Everyone here owes you
their life.

00:34:09.666 --> 00:34:12.458
There's something
I need to take care of.

00:34:31.625 --> 00:34:33.666
Mind if I sit?

00:34:37.958 --> 00:34:42.166
You pack one hell of a punch,
Lieutenant.

00:34:42.208 --> 00:34:43.833
Thank you.

00:34:43.875 --> 00:34:46.041
That wasn't a compliment.

00:34:46.083 --> 00:34:48.791
What's the penalty for striking
a superior officer?

00:34:50.833 --> 00:34:52.625
I can't seem to remember.

00:34:54.625 --> 00:34:57.416
Thanks.

00:34:57.458 --> 00:35:00.125
I mean, we're friends, right?

00:35:00.166 --> 00:35:02.583
Do you want me to tell you it
was just the sickness talking?

00:35:02.625 --> 00:35:04.583
I don't know. Was it?

00:35:04.625 --> 00:35:07.958
Yes. And also, no.

00:35:10.458 --> 00:35:12.416
All my life I've hated augments.

00:35:12.458 --> 00:35:14.541
Hated what-what people
thought of me

00:35:14.583 --> 00:35:17.125
because I was related to them.

00:35:17.166 --> 00:35:19.916
Understanding why they were
outlawed in the Federation.

00:35:19.958 --> 00:35:22.750
The damage they did.
They almost destroyed Earth.

00:35:22.791 --> 00:35:25.083
The augments, yes, but not us.

00:35:25.125 --> 00:35:29.583
My people were never motivated
by domination.

00:35:29.625 --> 00:35:33.041
Illyrians seek collaboration
with nature.

00:35:33.083 --> 00:35:34.875
By bioengineering our bodies,

00:35:34.916 --> 00:35:37.458
we adapt to
naturally-existing habitats.

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:41.916
Instead of terraforming planets,
we modify ourselves.

00:35:41.958 --> 00:35:44.041
And there's nothing wrong
with that.

00:35:44.083 --> 00:35:47.791
If that's what you believe,
why do you hide it?

00:35:47.833 --> 00:35:50.125
Why hide it from me?

00:35:50.208 --> 00:35:54.291
I've been hiding it
from a lot of people.

00:35:57.333 --> 00:36:00.083
All I ever wanted,

00:36:00.125 --> 00:36:05.291
since I first saw the stars,
was to join Starfleet.

00:36:06.291 --> 00:36:07.583
I know.

00:36:09.750 --> 00:36:12.208
You're the one who gave me
that dream.

00:36:14.291 --> 00:36:18.833
And the fact that strawberries
are my comfort food.

00:36:35.750 --> 00:36:37.541
UNA:
Captain.

00:36:37.583 --> 00:36:40.750
I'm an Illyrian.

00:36:40.791 --> 00:36:44.125
Not from this colony,
from far away.

00:36:44.166 --> 00:36:47.458
Starfleet policy is clear.

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:50.166
By not disclosing
my genetic augmentation--

00:36:50.208 --> 00:36:53.333
worse, by enlisting
in Starfleet--

00:36:53.375 --> 00:36:55.541
I've committed
a Federation offense.

00:36:58.333 --> 00:37:00.208
I am resigning my commission

00:37:00.250 --> 00:37:04.958
and surrendering myself
for disciplinary review.

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.458
I only ask that my sincere
desire to join Starfleet

00:37:07.541 --> 00:37:10.041
be taken into consideration.

00:37:11.083 --> 00:37:12.666
Rejected.

00:37:12.708 --> 00:37:15.416
-Sir?
-I don't care
where you come from.

00:37:15.458 --> 00:37:18.125
You're the best
first officer in the fleet.

00:37:18.208 --> 00:37:19.666
Thank you, sir, but I feel
obligated to point out

00:37:19.708 --> 00:37:20.666
that Starfleet does not allow...

00:37:20.708 --> 00:37:22.875
Una, stop.

00:37:22.916 --> 00:37:25.458
Chris, that's kind, but I've
broken a dozen regulations.

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:27.500
I lied to get into Starfleet.

00:37:27.541 --> 00:37:29.458
According to Federation law,
if you shelter me,

00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:32.083
they could come after you, too.

00:37:32.125 --> 00:37:34.125
I welcome that discussion.

00:37:35.458 --> 00:37:38.916
One thing became clear to me
on Hetemit 9.

00:37:38.958 --> 00:37:41.291
Illyrians are severely
misunderstood.

00:37:41.333 --> 00:37:44.791
Your actions in the crisis
prove that again.

00:37:46.083 --> 00:37:48.666
I just did my job, sir.

00:37:48.708 --> 00:37:51.291
No.

00:37:51.333 --> 00:37:54.291
You defy every stereotype

00:37:54.333 --> 00:37:56.791
the Federation has
about Illyrians.

00:37:56.833 --> 00:37:59.875
You're an example to them.

00:37:59.916 --> 00:38:02.333
And to all of us.

00:38:02.375 --> 00:38:06.000
What do we do
when Starfleet finds out?

00:38:13.375 --> 00:38:15.833
You let me worry
about Starfleet.

00:38:22.958 --> 00:38:24.791
Oh, before you go...

00:38:24.833 --> 00:38:28.166
Uh, the glitch was with the
transporter's biofilter, right?

00:38:28.208 --> 00:38:29.416
That's how the virus
got on board?

00:38:29.458 --> 00:38:31.833
-Let's get that fixed.
-Yes, sir.

00:38:31.875 --> 00:38:33.500
M'BENGA:
Come in.

00:38:37.541 --> 00:38:41.375
It was your medical transporter
that inhibited the biofilters.

00:38:41.416 --> 00:38:44.541
The new transporters keep
biofilter and pattern integrity

00:38:44.583 --> 00:38:46.416
power systems separate.

00:38:46.458 --> 00:38:48.208
But you didn't let them upgrade
the medical transporter

00:38:48.291 --> 00:38:50.458
when we were in spacedock.

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:52.708
I'm starting to suspect
you couldn't.

00:38:57.708 --> 00:39:00.458
Hemmer's diagnostic

00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:03.916
shows you're keeping something
in the pattern buffer.

00:39:03.958 --> 00:39:07.416
And whatever it is,
you needed to preserve it,

00:39:07.458 --> 00:39:09.958
even if it ended up killing
everyone on the ship.

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.916
-Isn't that right, Doctor?
-No.

00:39:14.875 --> 00:39:16.916
I didn't know.

00:39:20.291 --> 00:39:22.125
It was an accident.

00:39:22.166 --> 00:39:23.458
What are you keeping in there

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:25.875
that could be worth
all our lives?

00:39:32.541 --> 00:39:33.791
Not what.

00:39:35.750 --> 00:39:37.333
Who.

00:39:37.375 --> 00:39:39.250
Rukiya.

00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:44.666
My daughter.

00:39:44.708 --> 00:39:47.916
A year ago, she was diagnosed
with cygnokemia.

00:39:47.958 --> 00:39:49.708
Brutal disease.

00:39:51.666 --> 00:39:55.166
You can't imagine what it's like
to watch your child wither away.

00:39:57.416 --> 00:40:01.875
To see a lifetime of potential
reduced to a 12-week prognosis.

00:40:01.916 --> 00:40:04.125
I'm sorry.

00:40:04.166 --> 00:40:06.916
I am chief medical officer.

00:40:08.041 --> 00:40:11.041
On the flagship of Starfleet.

00:40:12.708 --> 00:40:15.500
You'd think I'd be able to do
something about it.

00:40:18.208 --> 00:40:20.166
But nothing worked.

00:40:21.250 --> 00:40:23.791
Did you know there's no limit

00:40:23.833 --> 00:40:25.833
on how long you can store
someone's pattern

00:40:25.916 --> 00:40:27.541
in the buffer?

00:40:29.958 --> 00:40:33.250
You just have to materialize
them regularly.

00:40:35.125 --> 00:40:38.625
In the buffer,
my daughter doesn't age.

00:40:38.666 --> 00:40:42.041
And her disease can't progress.

00:40:42.083 --> 00:40:45.416
We travel light-years in hours.

00:40:45.458 --> 00:40:49.083
And somewhere out there

00:40:49.125 --> 00:40:52.958
is a planet that has
the discovery I need.

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.208
Only...

00:40:56.125 --> 00:40:59.375
...the light virus epidemic
was my fault.

00:40:59.416 --> 00:41:02.166
It seems so, yes.

00:41:02.208 --> 00:41:05.375
If I thought, even for a second,

00:41:05.416 --> 00:41:08.125
that could have happened...

00:41:08.166 --> 00:41:10.916
It won't happen again.

00:41:12.625 --> 00:41:15.875
I can't endanger our crew
for one life.

00:41:15.916 --> 00:41:18.541
No matter how much
that life means to me.

00:41:21.250 --> 00:41:26.375
But I ask, would you consider,

00:41:26.458 --> 00:41:29.125
before you return me
to Starfleet,

00:41:29.166 --> 00:41:30.750
that I might have a chance
to spend

00:41:30.791 --> 00:41:33.250
a little more time
with my daughter?

00:41:38.083 --> 00:41:39.375
To say goodbye.

00:41:40.333 --> 00:41:42.333
No.

00:41:45.583 --> 00:41:47.208
I'll provide a dedicated
power source,

00:41:47.250 --> 00:41:48.875
direct from the warp core.

00:41:50.458 --> 00:41:52.041
This problem?

00:41:52.083 --> 00:41:55.125
We can ensure
it never happens again.

00:42:02.583 --> 00:42:05.125
I look forward to meeting her
one day.

00:42:13.125 --> 00:42:15.000
First officer's personal log.

00:42:18.500 --> 00:42:20.458
The lights are back on.

00:42:20.500 --> 00:42:22.875
But that doesn't mean
we see clearly.

00:42:24.166 --> 00:42:25.791
People are always hiding things.

00:42:35.166 --> 00:42:37.916
Hi, Dad. Story time?

00:42:37.958 --> 00:42:40.875
You bet.

00:42:40.916 --> 00:42:43.708
-Now, where were we?
-King Ridley was about to climb
the tower

00:42:43.708 --> 00:42:45.333
to rescue Princess Thalia
from evil Queen Neve.

00:42:45.375 --> 00:42:48.458
Wait.

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:50.500
:
No spoilers.

00:42:50.541 --> 00:42:53.833
Dad, we've read this,
like, a hundred times.

00:42:53.875 --> 00:42:55.875
That doesn't mean
that the ending

00:42:55.916 --> 00:42:57.708
couldn't miraculously change.

00:42:57.750 --> 00:42:59.750
UNA:
Dr. M'Benga stopped
hiding today,

00:42:59.791 --> 00:43:01.166
just a little.

00:43:01.208 --> 00:43:02.416
And for once,

00:43:02.458 --> 00:43:04.583
I did, too.

00:43:06.541 --> 00:43:10.833
I told Captain Pike
the truth about myself.

00:43:10.875 --> 00:43:13.333
And he defended me.

00:43:13.375 --> 00:43:15.166
Told me I was exemplary.

00:43:15.208 --> 00:43:17.750
That he would fight for me.

00:43:20.958 --> 00:43:23.208
So why do I feel terrible?

00:43:27.333 --> 00:43:29.916
What if I hadn't saved
all those lives?

00:43:31.875 --> 00:43:34.333
Would the captain feel the same?

00:43:36.291 --> 00:43:38.458
What would he do
if I wasn't a hero?

00:43:38.458 --> 00:43:40.125
One of the "good ones"?

00:43:42.125 --> 00:43:44.666
When will it be enough
to just...

00:43:46.666 --> 00:43:48.541
...be an Illyrian?

00:43:53.500 --> 00:43:55.708
Computer.

00:44:00.958 --> 00:44:02.375
Delete log entry.

00:44:02.416 --> 00:44:04.875
COMPUTER:
Log entry deleted.

00:44:04.916 --> 00:44:08.208
M'BENGA:
If King Ridley would seek out
the Mercury Stone

00:44:08.250 --> 00:44:10.250
and win it as his own,

00:44:10.291 --> 00:44:13.541
his victory over Queen Neve
would be assured.

00:44:13.583 --> 00:44:15.791
It is said
that in the right hands,

00:44:15.833 --> 00:44:19.916
the Mercury Stone has the power
to cleanse the land of evil

00:44:19.958 --> 00:44:22.833
and bring prosperity to all.

00:44:22.875 --> 00:44:25.750
But if it were to fall
into the wrong hands,

00:44:25.791 --> 00:44:30.416
the Mercury Stone's power
would bring about a terrible,

00:44:30.458 --> 00:44:34.416
long-lasting dark age
across the land.
