1 00:00:06,549 --> 00:00:09,350 so so 2 00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:33,570 Last season on Star Trek Strange New Worlds. 3 00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:36,330 Do you really still believe our futures are written in stone? 4 00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:39,890 All I know is that I'm not ready to let you go. 5 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:45,250 Everything that happened to me was so I could do this. No, this is Marie. 6 00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:46,329 It's my destiny. 7 00:00:46,330 --> 00:00:48,170 You of all people can understand that. 8 00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:51,390 You have to tell me why things are so weird with you and Spock. 9 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:54,870 Spock and I made it very clear with each other. No labels, no complicated 10 00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:55,870 expectations. 11 00:00:56,030 --> 00:00:57,030 Just fun times. 12 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:59,990 Is this a hit it? 13 00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:01,500 Situation? 14 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,680 It's a new future. 15 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,340 It's whatever kind of adventure we want it to be. 16 00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,740 Captain's personal log, Stardate 2491.5. 17 00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:22,620 We're at the end of a routine mission on Tulipsar, our fifteenth in a row. 18 00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:26,460 And if I'm being honest, this may well be my favorite part. 19 00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:21,650 Were you followed? 20 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:23,668 No, sir. 21 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:24,670 And the meds? 22 00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:28,150 Handed off more than enough to save the planet. Any issues being discovered? 23 00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:29,770 Nothing I couldn't handle. 24 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:33,360 Four of the ones she drank with might need a day or two to sleep it off. 25 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:35,640 Lightweights. 26 00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:39,980 Captain, we are in position. We're ready to beam you up on your order. Copy that, 27 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Number One. 28 00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:48,240 You know what? We, uh... We might ride a little more. 29 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,320 If you say so, Captain. 30 00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:53,340 You know, just to be safe. 31 00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:55,700 Yeah! 32 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Welcome back, Captain. 33 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,140 I can take your saddle if needed. 34 00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:19,720 Well, I prefer to carry my own gear, but thanks, Spock. 35 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,700 But you knew that already. 36 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,980 I felt it important to be here as soon as you returned to the ship. You wanted 37 00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:27,460 to see me in my outfit, didn't you? 38 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,040 Perhaps. 39 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Follow me to my quarters, Mr. Spock. 40 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,340 These boots are hard to take off, though. 41 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,740 Six months, Chris. 42 00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:44,980 Non-stop. 43 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,780 That's a lot of missions in a row. 44 00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:50,740 I'm just worried the crew is starting to feel the strain, that's all. Look, they 45 00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:55,340 came to Enterprise to see things, to... do things. 46 00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:01,100 And the more you see and do in the moment, the less you have to think about 47 00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,100 the past. 48 00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:03,180 Right? 49 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,060 We all need weekends once in a while. 50 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000 Even you. 51 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,300 Understood, Number One. 52 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,300 Not to mention, as much as I enjoy having the con, I wouldn't mind a little 53 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,500 time on planet once in a while. Next mission, I promise. 54 00:04:21,019 --> 00:04:22,460 That might be sooner than you think. 55 00:04:23,140 --> 00:04:26,160 Admiral April is on his way to see you. 56 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,420 Told you, Bob. 57 00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:31,960 I'm not looking for a promotion. 58 00:04:33,020 --> 00:04:35,960 Well, regardless of intent, you're being considered for one. 59 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:37,620 To Commodore. 60 00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,420 And that, as we both know, is a stepping stone. 61 00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:47,370 I felt the same way when I was captain. 62 00:04:48,430 --> 00:04:49,590 You just need to think about it. 63 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:51,550 Really think. 64 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:54,670 You just might surprise yourself. 65 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:58,810 How long do I have to consider? 66 00:05:00,010 --> 00:05:01,890 We need an answer when you get back from the next mission. 67 00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:03,470 Where are you sending us? 68 00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:08,290 Well, this is a fun one. 69 00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:12,810 Really? 70 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,340 You haven't heard the constant noises? 71 00:05:17,780 --> 00:05:22,520 Scotty acts like every time I steer the ship, it makes his job harder. So he 72 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,720 added endless beeping to literally make my job harder. 73 00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:29,220 Are you listening? 74 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,180 Sorry. I just have to get prepared for my mentee training. 75 00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,220 Right. Your new academy cadet. 76 00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:42,220 When I got to Enterprise, I didn't know anything about anything. 77 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,960 And all of you helped me. 78 00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:45,990 I just want to pass that on to the next person. 79 00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:49,470 I've been practicing my Vulcan with Spock to improve it. 80 00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:59,730 Please, 81 00:06:02,590 --> 00:06:06,550 do not speak Vulcan. Your accent is improper. 82 00:06:07,290 --> 00:06:09,330 I thought I got that right. 83 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,720 I am fully versed in all human dialects. That is all that is required for us to 84 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,720 communicate. 85 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Right. 86 00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:20,380 Let me start again. 87 00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:23,880 I am Ensign Uhura, but you can call me Nyota, if you like. 88 00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:27,200 I was at the Academy just a few years ago, so I know exactly how you must 89 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,180 feel. You are... several years older than I am, and since you are human, it 90 00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:36,400 is unlikely you know how I feel. Were you present for the Chthonia disaster? 91 00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:37,940 Or the Fekisha conflict? 92 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,600 That all happened after I left. 93 00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:42,070 Your Vulcan is poorly pronounced. 94 00:06:42,370 --> 00:06:44,870 Your time at the Academy was completely different than mine. 95 00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:48,030 It appears we do not have many shared experiences at all. 96 00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:01,590 This is an unusual mission. 97 00:07:02,290 --> 00:07:04,870 We are to face a Category 10 interstellar squall. 98 00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:09,370 Something we rarely see in the Alpha Quad. I've seen one once, a long time 99 00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:11,290 ago, but not from this close. 100 00:07:11,770 --> 00:07:14,610 I think I was in a phone box at the time. 101 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:17,470 Such distortions are often briefly occurring. 102 00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:19,990 This one has appeared around the star at Thaxis. 103 00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:21,790 No explanation. 104 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:25,770 Doesn't look like it's safe for us to get near it. Any inhabited planets 105 00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:27,030 nearby we should be worried about? 106 00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:28,930 None, thank goodness. 107 00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:30,650 And that's the key element of this mission. 108 00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:32,190 No one we have to protect. 109 00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,510 We are here to observe an unusual stellar display. 110 00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:37,370 That is all. 111 00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:42,590 Oh, it sounds like we're going to the theater, minus the playbill. A theater 112 00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:45,570 that would likely tear our ship into small particles of subspace should we 113 00:07:45,570 --> 00:07:47,830 get too close. Come on, Mr. Spock, where's your sense of adventure? 114 00:07:48,430 --> 00:07:51,830 Perhaps I do not clearly state the part about being torn into small particles of 115 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:52,830 subspace. 116 00:07:54,530 --> 00:07:58,270 Interstellar storms are like space-time gone wild. 117 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,780 Very stuff of the universe. 118 00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:04,740 Don't you think a glimpse is worth a little risk? 119 00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:07,760 See? Now that's the spirit. 120 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Keep us at arm's length, Erica. 121 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Aye, sir. 122 00:08:29,130 --> 00:08:30,130 Very large. 123 00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:36,330 I wish we could get closer though It's absolutely stunning. I understand the 124 00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:42,929 feeling to actually see something like this Digital data is more relevant 125 00:08:42,929 --> 00:08:48,750 Sensors are active data is cogent. If you had to give up seeing this kind of 126 00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:50,330 thing all the time, would you miss it? 127 00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:53,210 Every day 128 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,380 Sir, I'm getting a comm signal. 129 00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:11,939 Location, Yoda. 130 00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:15,620 The signal's erratic, but it seems to be coming from inside the storm. 131 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,100 It's a mayday, sir. 132 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,540 A ship is stuck inside the storm? That's what the signal's saying. 133 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,460 Take us closer, Erica. Keep your foot on the brakes. 134 00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:26,860 Understood, Captain. 135 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,380 Not now, Scotty. 136 00:09:57,620 --> 00:10:01,440 Deeper scan suggests signal origin is a buoy inside of the storm. A buoy? It's a 137 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,020 starship distress buoy, but I can't get a lock on the signal. Any sign of the 138 00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:06,020 source of the buoy? Any ships? 139 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Scanning, Captain. 140 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,240 Uh-oh. 141 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,700 The storm is undergoing exponential expansion. 142 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,839 You think? 143 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Reverse course, Erica. Fast. 144 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,160 Already on it. 145 00:10:52,940 --> 00:10:53,960 We have life support. 146 00:10:54,660 --> 00:10:56,720 Unfortunately, that is the extent of the good news. 147 00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,540 No weapons functionality. 148 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,420 Zero. Long-range comms are down. Transporters are offline. 149 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,840 Not sure when they'll be fixed or if. 150 00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:09,660 We have only the barest amount of impulse power for now. 151 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,500 Warp? Out the question. 152 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,060 Look, our problem is we lost all our iridium. Without it, we can't ignite the 153 00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:19,020 warp engines. We're basically stuck here. 154 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:20,620 And do we know where here is? 155 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,240 All we've been able to determine is the stellar storm somehow pulled the ship 156 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,620 into a warp field. The stars aren't lining up to give us a location, but we 157 00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,360 think it's just the main computer coming back online. 158 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:30,900 Okay. 159 00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:34,600 Deploy a locator and send out a mayday. Let's use a flare. 160 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,300 On it. Short-range scans suggest we can only extrapolate our position. 161 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,000 Of the four planets scanned so far, three are M-class. 162 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,000 Inhabited? Anyone who might give us a hand? 163 00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:46,040 Impossible to tell, given our current sensor capabilities. 164 00:11:46,910 --> 00:11:50,170 But we have detected iridium on the nearest M-class planet. A few hours 165 00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:51,450 journey with our current impulse engines. 166 00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:54,130 And one of our shuttles is still functional enough to get us to the 167 00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,130 surface, I think. 168 00:11:57,490 --> 00:12:01,130 Well, number one, you wanted a mission on a strange new world. 169 00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:03,150 Looks like you got one. 170 00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:08,290 Curie, this is Enterprise. You are now entering the planet's upper atmosphere. 171 00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:10,510 Heading towards the last known iridium location. 172 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:13,890 The landmass is quite choppy down there. We're five by five. 173 00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,180 We might have to went pretty far from the signal. There aren't any closer 174 00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,180 options. 175 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,860 The iridium's over there. 176 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,580 Near what is definitely a volcano. 177 00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:50,420 Um... 178 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,040 I'm detecting life signs. 179 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,740 What kind of life signs? 180 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,840 Large. 181 00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:01,120 Taller than us? 182 00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:02,940 Much taller. 183 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:11,340 Is there a way around that? 184 00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:13,780 No. 185 00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:15,740 We want the iridium. 186 00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:19,080 We have to get past that. 187 00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:29,750 Great news. 188 00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:38,310 I've got a fix in the creature. That's not the problem. It's, eh... Try to do 189 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:40,530 something about it. Can't you just stun it? 190 00:14:40,830 --> 00:14:42,510 Five phases, sure. 191 00:14:43,730 --> 00:14:46,990 I might be able to send a bolt of electricity, but I don't want to kill 192 00:14:46,990 --> 00:14:49,950 the laddie. We should probably determine what it can withstand first. 193 00:14:52,110 --> 00:14:53,110 What are you doing? 194 00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:06,080 What? I was on stun. 195 00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:07,920 And you saw nothing happened. 196 00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:10,580 The laddie may be a wee bit stronger than we anticipated. 197 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,600 Laddie? You think that's what I talk like? That's totally what you talk like. 198 00:15:13,860 --> 00:15:14,860 Fine. 199 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,440 Something's just grabbed the ship. 200 00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:44,770 Space. The final frontier. 201 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:50,310 These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. 202 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:54,310 Its five-year mission. 203 00:15:55,290 --> 00:15:57,610 To explore strange new worlds. 204 00:16:00,010 --> 00:16:01,890 To seek out new life. 205 00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:04,590 And new civilizations. 206 00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:08,030 To boldly go. 207 00:16:08,650 --> 00:16:10,290 Where no one has gone before. 208 00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:39,420 Where did they come from? 209 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,760 I'm clear, Captain. Our sensors are functioning below normal parameters. 210 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,320 They seem to have attached some kind of energy tendrils. 211 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,120 They are similar to our tractor beams, but the style is one I am not familiar 212 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,880 with. Do we have any weapons? Shields? No, the shields are still not 213 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,980 functioning, Captain, and Scotty cannot repair the weapons without a radium. We 214 00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:57,980 are crippled. 215 00:17:58,140 --> 00:18:00,080 They're literally towing us away. Do we have impulse? Anything? 216 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,640 No, using impulse engines would be like trying to free ourselves from a boat 217 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,160 using a pair of flippers. A small... 218 00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:11,900 Flippers could be lost at any time. Comms are still functioning, sir. As is 219 00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:12,900 our universal translator. 220 00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:14,540 Does anyone recognize that ship? 221 00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:16,740 I do not. And it does not exist in our database. 222 00:18:17,780 --> 00:18:18,739 Hail them, Nyota. 223 00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:21,400 Let's try the friendly approach first. We don't have much else to work with. 224 00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:22,620 Hailing them, sir. 225 00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:24,820 This is Captain Christopher Pike of the Starship Enterprise. 226 00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:31,660 You seem to have... You seem to have accidentally taken hold of our ship. 227 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,240 Anything? 228 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,040 They're responding, sir. 229 00:18:38,270 --> 00:18:41,110 I am Battle Commander Cassel. 230 00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:43,470 We didn't detach our tethers by accident. 231 00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:46,190 We seized your damaged ship as salvage. 232 00:18:46,490 --> 00:18:49,350 Your ship and its resources are now our property. 233 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:52,450 Still nothing from the ship. 234 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:54,170 Scotty said he'd come right back. 235 00:18:54,590 --> 00:18:55,590 He didn't. 236 00:18:56,370 --> 00:18:59,870 Typical. I don't like it. We may be on our own. At least for now. 237 00:19:00,910 --> 00:19:03,090 We need to get a better idea of what we're facing. 238 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:06,070 What about the new vaporization thingy? 239 00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:07,790 You know what it's called. 240 00:19:08,270 --> 00:19:09,690 Scotty's not even here to get annoyed. 241 00:19:09,930 --> 00:19:13,390 Just makes me feel better. The phases have been modified with a contained 242 00:19:13,390 --> 00:19:14,850 disintegration function. 243 00:19:15,690 --> 00:19:17,950 We need to get a clear shot at that copse of trees. 244 00:19:18,430 --> 00:19:20,850 Maybe we can see the letty that's hiding behind it. 245 00:19:21,670 --> 00:19:24,510 Commander Cassell, we are members of Starfleet. 246 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:31,550 Any actions against us... will be seen as actions against the United Federation 247 00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:34,790 of Planets. We aren't familiar with your Starfleet or Federation. 248 00:19:35,370 --> 00:19:38,770 But if you're in league with the Doldrum, we will destroy you. 249 00:19:44,490 --> 00:19:46,610 What? Be careful what you say, Captain. 250 00:19:47,290 --> 00:19:50,410 If they are not familiar with Starfleet, it is possible that they are pre-warp. 251 00:19:50,570 --> 00:19:53,270 They may be seizing our ship to learn about our technology, which is strictly 252 00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:54,670 against our Prime Directive. 253 00:19:55,030 --> 00:19:57,950 They have the ship, Spock. Right now, talking is our only way out. 254 00:19:58,220 --> 00:19:59,220 Allow me to scan it further. 255 00:19:59,460 --> 00:20:00,640 Perhaps you could stall. 256 00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:05,680 We are not familiar with the Doldrum. 257 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,380 We are new to this region of space. 258 00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:11,660 And if you don't know the Federation, we also don't know you. 259 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,800 We are at war, Captain, with a terrible and destructive enemy. 260 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,680 And as part of our wartime covenants, we have seized your ship as scrap for our 261 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,599 war effort. 262 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,720 If you are not aligned with the Doldrum... 263 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,300 You will be released when we return home. You can't just take our ship 264 00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:28,300 without consequences. 265 00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:31,360 And yet, you have shown us none. This discussion is over. 266 00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:32,760 Commander, we do have weapons. 267 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,340 And Starfleet has more. A lot more. 268 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520 Do you really want us to turn all of them on you just to prove our point? 269 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:44,520 Why don't you come aboard? 270 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,220 I can show you myself, and we can discuss ways that the Federation can 271 00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:52,220 help you. 272 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:56,610 I don't think this will be useful. 273 00:20:57,830 --> 00:21:01,970 But if you have weapons to show us, personally, I'll come on board to see 274 00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:04,670 them. That's not exactly what I said. In communication. 275 00:21:07,090 --> 00:21:08,170 Okay, not ideal. 276 00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:16,850 You sure this is going to work? 277 00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:19,010 Not in the slightest. 278 00:21:22,090 --> 00:21:24,070 Well, at least we're talking. 279 00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:29,290 I am afraid our circumstances are slightly more complicated than we 280 00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:30,209 realized, Captain. 281 00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:31,810 I have determined our current location. 282 00:21:33,070 --> 00:21:35,050 Scans have revealed that we are in the Sol system. 283 00:21:36,450 --> 00:21:37,450 Sol? 284 00:21:37,890 --> 00:21:39,570 Well, Spock, this doesn't make any sense. 285 00:21:40,410 --> 00:21:44,010 Three M-class worlds. The stellar storm created an incredible amount of energy. 286 00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:46,150 Far beyond what our ship is capable of. 287 00:21:46,690 --> 00:21:49,550 However, where it sent us is less relevant than when. 288 00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:55,390 Currently... We are 65 million years in the past. 289 00:21:59,770 --> 00:22:03,410 The planet Commander Cassell is dragging us toward is Mars. 290 00:22:03,970 --> 00:22:04,970 Mars? 291 00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:08,910 Then that would mean the planet that Una flew the shuttle to. 292 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:15,070 It's Earth, Captain. 293 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,320 So according to Enterprise, we can't harm any native life because doing so 294 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,320 could wreck the future. 295 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,400 Unfortunately, the dinosaurs do not share our temporal prohibitions when it 296 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,980 comes to eating us. 297 00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:49,080 I have an idea. 298 00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:53,760 But I don't think either of you are going to like it. Oh, we are way past 299 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,900 that. Yeah. 300 00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:56,540 What you got, boss? 301 00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:02,580 They have never heard of Starfleet or the Federation, because neither will 302 00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:04,260 exist for millions of years. 303 00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:08,240 It may be challenging to form a shared frame of reference, Captain. 304 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,880 It shouldn't be that different from any first contact with a pre-warp species. 305 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Except you invited her on board your starship. 306 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,640 Yeah, there is that. 307 00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:21,460 Look, by the time our present comes around, Mars has been lifeless for eons. 308 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,300 I'm going to wager that nothing we say here is going to change the future, so 309 00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,040 long as she doesn't leave the ship with anything material. 310 00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,820 Alternatively, any single one of our actions could result in our future never 311 00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:32,820 occurring. 312 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,580 Okay, so out of an abundance of caution, we'll keep her from... Everything? 313 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,280 It feels like you're not helping. 314 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,240 I thought... Scanners seem to have detected something in the hull. 315 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,560 Possible hull breach on Deck 7. 316 00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:49,860 We're on Deck 7. 317 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,240 No adjustment in air temperature. 318 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,200 Strange. Well, call it a... 319 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,080 Commander Cassell. 320 00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:15,020 I'm Captain Pike. 321 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,740 You are... short. 322 00:24:18,740 --> 00:24:22,980 Our planet's a little heavier than yours. Hence this unpleasant artificial 323 00:24:22,980 --> 00:24:24,960 gravity on your ship. Too unpleasant? 324 00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:25,959 We can adjust. 325 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,440 No need. We're obviously considerably stronger than you are. 326 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,640 How did you get inside our ship? 327 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,040 We phased through your wall. 328 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,040 Do you not have phasing technology? 329 00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,400 Well, no, but we have transporters, which allows... Which we can gladly 330 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,660 discuss at a later juncture. Allow me to introduce our science officer, Spock, 331 00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:47,420 Dr. Mbenga, and our engineer, Mr. Scott. 332 00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:54,560 Forgive me if I don't. My guards are understanding orders to kill anyone who 333 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,560 comes too close. 334 00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:56,700 Oh, okay. 335 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,260 I assure you that won't be necessary, Commander. 336 00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:01,780 You're here as our guests. 337 00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:03,000 We're here as your captors. 338 00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,440 To see your weaponry, Captain Pike. 339 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,940 Commander, you are not our enemy. That assessment is mine to make. 340 00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:11,920 You would do the same in my position, would you not? 341 00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:19,200 Our transporter typically sweeps our visitors for health and safety. 342 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,400 Would you permit me to examine you? 343 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,300 To ensure you haven't brought any pathogens aboard. 344 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,740 And that you can handle any you may find aboard as well. I am confident our 345 00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:32,660 biological prophylaxis will keep all parties safe. 346 00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:37,200 However, given I also trained in medicine, I am curious to see what 347 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,200 technology you have. 348 00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:41,860 After that, we will see your weapon systems. 349 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Stunned. 350 00:25:52,060 --> 00:25:54,020 Your plan is to get close? 351 00:25:54,730 --> 00:25:56,150 And just use stun? 352 00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:57,630 That is correct. 353 00:25:57,790 --> 00:26:00,870 I'll remind you, we tried it. It didn't phase it one bit. 354 00:26:01,090 --> 00:26:03,470 I mean, we could just disintegrate it if it wasn't for, you know, the whole 355 00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:04,870 destroy the entire future part. 356 00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:09,130 I'm going to get close enough so it opens its mouth, shoot in its soft 357 00:26:09,130 --> 00:26:10,870 palate, and hope it works. 358 00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:14,030 And that it doesn't decide you're maybe a delicious snack with several more 359 00:26:14,030 --> 00:26:14,909 yummies nearby? 360 00:26:14,910 --> 00:26:15,970 We'll kill it if it gets to that. 361 00:26:16,170 --> 00:26:20,150 Don't. We genuinely don't know the future effects of anything we might do 362 00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:21,150 here. 363 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,920 I'll stun, and then we run. 364 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,980 Crazy. Dangerous. 365 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Maybe even insane. 366 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,900 But I'm kind of impressed. 367 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Is that weird? 368 00:27:28,460 --> 00:27:29,460 Did it eat her? 369 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,520 It's not chewing. 370 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,680 It's asleep. 371 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,920 Stun worked. 372 00:27:39,380 --> 00:27:40,820 And you didn't kill him. 373 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Nice work. 374 00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,360 Let's move before she wakes up. 375 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,320 She? 376 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,120 It's not a laddie. 377 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,680 It's a lassie. 378 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,140 There are many different types of people on this ship. In this room alone, we 379 00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:04,280 have humans, Vulcans, and Tellarites. As members of Starfleet, we've encountered 380 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,320 countless other species. 381 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520 We come from different planets, but we have ways to work together. 382 00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:12,220 And none of these countless species wish to destroy you? 383 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,600 Members of the Federation, no. 384 00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:17,260 Ah. But I get the feeling others do? 385 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,200 Well, those that don't like us aren't against just one of us, they're against 386 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,600 all of us. Our unity is our best deterrence. 387 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,460 Again, because of your weapons. 388 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,760 Federation members do bring weapons to the table, but that same unity means we 389 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,320 often do not have to use them. 390 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,380 I must admit I have difficulty imagining such an alliance as this. 391 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,640 Many worlds working together. 392 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,300 Technically, we don't just work together. We pick up a lot of stuff from 393 00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:43,899 each other. 394 00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:48,440 None of those others are concerned that you'll turn their weapons against them. 395 00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,320 Sometimes it's just recipes. 396 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,160 Or... music. 397 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,300 Whatever we share... 398 00:28:55,790 --> 00:29:00,190 It tends to add up to more than the sum of its parts. I only know my world. 399 00:29:00,870 --> 00:29:01,870 I'm the doldrum. 400 00:29:02,330 --> 00:29:03,910 Alien to me means evil. 401 00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:08,530 Humans have a way of saying when it comes to facing an enemy, the carrot or 402 00:29:08,530 --> 00:29:09,469 the stick. 403 00:29:09,470 --> 00:29:10,470 What is a carrot? 404 00:29:11,370 --> 00:29:13,110 Is it a weapon of some sort? 405 00:29:13,730 --> 00:29:15,930 I imagine it is more persuasive than a stick. 406 00:29:17,030 --> 00:29:20,650 Yeah, it is, but not in the way that you're thinking. No, you eat a carrot. 407 00:29:21,170 --> 00:29:22,170 It's a reward. 408 00:29:23,290 --> 00:29:24,510 It helps to form an alliance. 409 00:29:24,730 --> 00:29:26,150 No, this stick is the only weapon. 410 00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:31,430 So you're benevolent until that no longer works, and only then are you 411 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:32,430 hostile? 412 00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:34,250 It's a strategy of sorts. 413 00:29:34,790 --> 00:29:37,650 I'm happy to say we have no issues of contamination. 414 00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:41,290 You clearly dedicate many resources to this medical facility. 415 00:29:41,610 --> 00:29:46,050 Frankly, it's something of a wonder to see so few occupied beds or injuries. 416 00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:51,710 Captain Pike, perhaps I have been too quick to judge you and your crew. 417 00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:55,150 It appears you are not the enemies we perceived you to be. 418 00:29:56,090 --> 00:29:57,090 Glad to hear it. 419 00:29:57,730 --> 00:30:01,530 But appearances can be deceiving. Do you have this saying, too? 420 00:30:02,710 --> 00:30:07,570 Take me to your weapon systems, and then I may better understand what this 421 00:30:07,570 --> 00:30:12,090 alliance with its many points of view and carrots and sticks has to offer. 422 00:30:14,790 --> 00:30:15,790 Of course. 423 00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:19,350 Phasers and photon torpedoes are your ship's primary weapons. 424 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,160 but not the part most used. I assume you're referring to defensive systems. 425 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,900 You mentioned the use of shields. 426 00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:28,020 Our shields are damaged. 427 00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:32,320 Given time, our engineering station or our science station will find ways of 428 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:33,320 repairing our systems. 429 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,180 What is the main purpose of your science station? Is it to assess the 430 00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:39,660 vulnerability of potential enemies? 431 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,060 Science allows us a broad understanding of every culture we encounter. 432 00:30:46,570 --> 00:30:49,410 so we can share strengths and compensate for each other's respective weaknesses. 433 00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:52,890 Understanding other cultures has allowed us to advance faster than if we were 434 00:30:52,890 --> 00:30:53,890 alone. 435 00:30:54,670 --> 00:30:56,430 I am sorry for your loss. 436 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:59,370 You used the word alone. 437 00:31:00,210 --> 00:31:05,930 Our people have ten individual words for such a state, differentiated by 438 00:31:05,930 --> 00:31:06,930 emotional inflection. 439 00:31:07,270 --> 00:31:08,270 I'm sorry, I don't follow. 440 00:31:08,590 --> 00:31:11,070 Your translating machine used the word widower. 441 00:31:13,210 --> 00:31:14,730 And so my condolences. 442 00:31:20,659 --> 00:31:23,360 Our captains are not permitted relationships during war. 443 00:31:24,420 --> 00:31:28,280 They leave us vulnerable, too hesitant to sacrifice. 444 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,560 And we have always been at war. 445 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,640 Isn't love part of what we fight for? 446 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,140 If not that, then... Have you ever seen my home world of Mars? 447 00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:49,620 We are not familiar with the current condition of Mars. 448 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,900 If the ship's scanners are repaired, will you pull it up on screen? 449 00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:55,700 Please. 450 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,320 It's beautiful. 451 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,680 Yes. But there is something more important for you to see. 452 00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:10,980 Turn the planet view 173 degrees. 453 00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:19,420 Valles Marineris. 454 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:25,500 That crater was caused when the doldrum crashed a ship onto the surface and fed 455 00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:26,620 on our world. 456 00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:32,400 The only way to stop them was to tear away the very land around them. 457 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,440 The invaders died. 458 00:32:35,180 --> 00:32:40,420 But that crater and two million lives is the price we paid. 459 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,080 That's horrible. 460 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,340 That's why your discussions of cultures, of science, although kind and hopeful, 461 00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:48,760 are not relevant. 462 00:32:49,370 --> 00:32:54,010 What we need to do is destroy the doldrum before they devour the rest of 463 00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:56,430 our planet and turn it all into a red wasteland. 464 00:32:56,670 --> 00:32:58,970 Have you ever tried communicating with the doldrum? We cannot. 465 00:32:59,330 --> 00:33:00,330 They are insects. 466 00:33:00,830 --> 00:33:03,310 They do not speak or reason as we do. 467 00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:05,990 They simply feed and move forward. 468 00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:08,650 You may have other options. 469 00:33:09,610 --> 00:33:11,530 Some on our planet argued this. 470 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:14,930 They believed there were other ways to deal with them. 471 00:33:15,390 --> 00:33:17,710 As they talked, we died. 472 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,240 There's only one thing that's ever worked. 473 00:33:21,180 --> 00:33:22,180 Force. 474 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,420 What if we could offer you something that would work without weapons? 475 00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:30,140 Something only Starfleet's resources can provide. 476 00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:37,960 The Federation have met maybe 65 different insectoid species. 477 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,100 Of those, 17 of them don't use sonic communication. 478 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,480 Like us. 479 00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:44,380 This is where Xenoanthropology helps. 480 00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:47,820 We've been able to design multiple systems that work for creatures who 481 00:33:47,820 --> 00:33:52,720 communicate using light, touch, or in one particularly difficult case, smell, 482 00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,540 which stunk. 483 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,560 But it did allow us eventually to speak with them. 484 00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:06,160 Fascinating. You keep insisting it's impossible to communicate with the 485 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,260 doldrum. If we find out we can, maybe we could find a way to stop them without 486 00:34:10,260 --> 00:34:12,440 weapons. What if we could end your war? 487 00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:13,920 What if we could... 488 00:34:14,170 --> 00:34:15,170 Offer them something. 489 00:34:16,090 --> 00:34:17,610 Isn't it worth a brief consideration? 490 00:34:21,070 --> 00:34:22,070 Brief. 491 00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:26,730 You have an update? 492 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:30,469 As more systems come online, the introduction of variables still 493 00:34:30,469 --> 00:34:31,510 generates a consistent outcome. 494 00:34:32,130 --> 00:34:35,610 Quantum entanglement has Enterprise firmly anchored 65 million years in the 495 00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:36,889 past. You're saying we're stuck here? 496 00:34:37,130 --> 00:34:38,909 Yes. And also no. 497 00:34:39,389 --> 00:34:42,810 The nature of quantum entanglement could theoretically snap us right back to the 498 00:34:42,810 --> 00:34:43,718 moment we left. 499 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,860 Well, that seems good. However, to do so would require the power equivalent of a 500 00:34:47,860 --> 00:34:50,340 supernova, the very same amount that sent us here. 501 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,400 Without it, we are trapped in the past. 502 00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:53,578 Less good. 503 00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:54,580 Indeed. 504 00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:57,780 Captain, Commander Cassell and her guard have left the lab. 505 00:34:58,020 --> 00:35:00,760 Where did they go? I don't know. They just phased through the floor and were 506 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,760 gone. 507 00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:03,400 Engineering. Hiked engineering. 508 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,680 What's happening down there? 509 00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:08,000 That tall, scary Martian lady just came right through the bulkhead and took it. 510 00:35:08,430 --> 00:35:09,870 We couldn't stop her. Took what? 511 00:35:10,090 --> 00:35:13,270 It is the ship's primary antimatter fuel cell. 512 00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:16,490 Gazelle's location keeps moving. 513 00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:17,950 Deck 10. 514 00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:20,250 Deck 9. 515 00:35:21,530 --> 00:35:23,650 Deck 8. She's headed for her egress point. 516 00:35:29,310 --> 00:35:30,310 I'm not armed. 517 00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,250 Just want to talk. 518 00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:37,810 We were helping you, and now you're taking our fuel cell? Why? 519 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:42,910 Captain. 520 00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:47,410 I have been nothing but honest with you. 521 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:48,990 I'm consistent. 522 00:35:50,110 --> 00:35:52,610 You, however, have not been equally truthful. 523 00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:53,870 What are you talking about? 524 00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:56,930 You spoke to me of Starfleet. Of all that you've achieved. 525 00:35:57,730 --> 00:36:01,050 It was easy to get a sense of your respect for your values. 526 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,940 Your deep feeling for those you have fought for and loved. 527 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:07,080 With these things you were frank. 528 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,260 You also spoke to me of where you are from. 529 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,700 But you failed to explain when. 530 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:19,200 Your Federation doesn't exist. That's not entirely true. Yet. It doesn't exist 531 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,200 yet. 532 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,060 You showed me your computer so I could speak with the doldrum. 533 00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:30,140 It was simple to understand from there how you determined time with it. 534 00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:33,800 Your Federation won't exist for millions of years. 535 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,060 And by then, my civilization will be gone. 536 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,360 I'm sorry. 537 00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:44,720 Our regulations, they forbid me from telling you. But that doesn't mean that 538 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:49,660 we can't find a way out of this for both of us. Captain, I understand you are 539 00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:53,020 trying to save your people, as I am doing for mine. 540 00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:56,980 But we live now, not in the future. 541 00:36:58,730 --> 00:37:01,590 Your ship's given us exactly what we need to win our war. 542 00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:05,210 I'm sorry. 543 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:07,230 Commander. 544 00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:47,090 This wreckage is apparently the source of the iridium. 545 00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:51,090 And that's like an alien spaceship. 546 00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:52,990 On Earth. 547 00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:57,490 65 million years before us. 548 00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:00,990 I have to say this out loud to believe it. 549 00:38:02,050 --> 00:38:03,050 Those burns? 550 00:38:03,870 --> 00:38:04,990 A weapon did that. 551 00:38:05,590 --> 00:38:06,650 It was shot down. 552 00:38:07,310 --> 00:38:08,490 Our Martian friends? 553 00:38:08,890 --> 00:38:09,890 Mm-hmm. 554 00:38:11,330 --> 00:38:12,690 The iridium's inside. 555 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,420 no life signs but there might be an engine compartment wait here 556 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,760 All these cryo beds? 557 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:46,340 I think this was a colony ship. 558 00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:57,000 Must have all died on impact. 559 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,120 Reflexes. 560 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,480 They must all be dead. 561 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:16,000 If they were settlers, I'm not sure if I should feel...

Can we go 568 00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:41,700 now, please? 569 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,520 This place is giving me the creeps. 570 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:13,490 You just punched it. 571 00:40:14,430 --> 00:40:17,090 Yeah, well, I didn't have time to shoot it in the mouth, did I? 572 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:21,810 Well, if you two are finished just standing here. 573 00:40:25,350 --> 00:40:27,950 Right, I've managed to hook up the backup antimatter pod. 574 00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:29,630 But Connie, hurry up with that iridium. 575 00:40:29,890 --> 00:40:31,210 Yeah, yeah, we're coming. Jeez. 576 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,180 You punched a dinosaur? 577 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,480 Well, I'm sure it had it coming. 578 00:41:02,060 --> 00:41:03,060 What is it? 579 00:41:03,580 --> 00:41:06,740 It's just, I broke my hand and I don't feel any pain. 580 00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:08,860 How is that possible? 581 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,480 It isn't. 582 00:41:11,220 --> 00:41:15,180 The truth is, I've felt different for a while now. 583 00:41:15,620 --> 00:41:19,580 I've always had elevated strength and reflexes, but now it's almost like... 584 00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:21,550 My whole body feels more attuned. 585 00:41:22,510 --> 00:41:23,510 And your mind? 586 00:41:24,530 --> 00:41:25,530 Confused. 587 00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:29,590 Like, I carry recessive augmented DNA, right? 588 00:41:29,830 --> 00:41:34,530 Now, is it possible that somehow all I've been through has activated those 589 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:35,530 recessive genes? 590 00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:38,750 Are you going to try and take over the galaxy now? 591 00:41:40,450 --> 00:41:41,450 I don't know. 592 00:41:41,970 --> 00:41:47,830 Hey, you may be carrying enhanced warrior genes, but it's not who you are. 593 00:41:58,310 --> 00:42:01,750 Aridium is installed and ready to function as long as we don't want to 594 00:42:01,750 --> 00:42:05,110 double-check it. Do we need to double-check it? We need to get a fix on 595 00:42:05,110 --> 00:42:08,490 that Martian ship. Are you concerned or are you worried, Mr. Scott? Just 596 00:42:08,490 --> 00:42:09,249 worried, sir. 597 00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:10,250 Good man. 598 00:42:11,130 --> 00:42:12,390 Bridge is coming back online. 599 00:42:13,150 --> 00:42:14,150 Long-range sensors? 600 00:42:14,870 --> 00:42:15,870 Reinitializing. Time? 601 00:42:15,910 --> 00:42:16,910 15 seconds. 602 00:42:16,930 --> 00:42:19,610 Every second could be getting Commander Cassell closer to detonating that 603 00:42:19,610 --> 00:42:22,950 antimatter. I can't get power to the ship's systems any faster, Captain. 604 00:42:25,009 --> 00:42:28,370 Screens are working, Chris. Great. How about long-range comms? On and 605 00:42:28,370 --> 00:42:29,850 functioning, sir. Orders. 606 00:42:31,090 --> 00:42:32,090 Connect the Martian ship. 607 00:42:32,470 --> 00:42:35,030 Killing them and initializing ship-to-ship visuals. 608 00:42:35,970 --> 00:42:38,510 Commander Cassell, this is Captain Pike of the USS Enterprise. 609 00:42:40,530 --> 00:42:43,930 I should have told you where... when we're from. 610 00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:47,650 I should have been honest, because then you might have believed me about 611 00:42:47,650 --> 00:42:48,650 everything else. 612 00:42:48,890 --> 00:42:50,810 There are other ways of solving conflict. 613 00:42:51,070 --> 00:42:53,610 I understand how you... Captain, you have lost crewmates. 614 00:42:54,250 --> 00:42:55,250 Friends? 615 00:42:55,510 --> 00:42:56,510 Yes, many. 616 00:42:56,610 --> 00:42:58,450 Imagine those losses a thousandfold. 617 00:42:59,350 --> 00:43:02,010 Imagine a wound on your planet that will never heal. 618 00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:06,970 A memorial to millions of dead etched in rot and blood. 619 00:43:07,350 --> 00:43:09,770 I know you believe that what you're doing is right. 620 00:43:11,150 --> 00:43:13,470 But I have seen a future where species can coexist. 621 00:43:13,770 --> 00:43:17,770 And I have seen one on your computers where my home world is a barren red 622 00:43:17,770 --> 00:43:18,770 wasteland. 623 00:43:19,770 --> 00:43:22,410 Can you tell me the Doldrum are not responsible for that? 624 00:43:22,610 --> 00:43:23,610 No, I can't. 625 00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:27,410 But I can tell you that if you use our technology to change the future, 626 00:43:27,530 --> 00:43:31,550 millions of lives may be lost. And millions of lives may be saved. 627 00:43:32,370 --> 00:43:33,750 The lives of my people. 628 00:43:35,250 --> 00:43:36,570 Isn't that what a captain does? 629 00:43:37,730 --> 00:43:38,750 Save her people. 630 00:43:40,670 --> 00:43:41,670 Wouldn't you? 631 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:48,550 Uh, she shut off her comms and they're not responding to hails. Engines, half 632 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:49,288 and post. 633 00:43:49,290 --> 00:43:51,850 Erika plotted an intercept course. We're going to try to stop them from using our 634 00:43:51,850 --> 00:43:55,090 antimatter. The only question is, where are they planning to use it? They don't 635 00:43:55,090 --> 00:43:56,510 have warp. Where's this enemy planet? 636 00:43:57,010 --> 00:43:59,710 Long-range sensors are fully operational, extrapolating their course. 637 00:44:01,330 --> 00:44:03,350 They're headed for the fifth planet in the system. Jupiter? 638 00:44:03,770 --> 00:44:06,230 No. This planet is much smaller, similar to Mars. 639 00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:10,450 At a distance of 480 million kilometers from Sol and 120 million kilometers from 640 00:44:10,450 --> 00:44:12,990 the Martian solar rotation. But there's no fifth planet like that in our solar 641 00:44:12,990 --> 00:44:16,570 system. The planet is populated by billions of life forms. 642 00:44:17,550 --> 00:44:18,550 An arachnid species. 643 00:44:20,210 --> 00:44:21,630 That's what we found crashed on Earth. 644 00:44:22,270 --> 00:44:23,270 With the iridium. 645 00:44:25,270 --> 00:44:28,310 The fifth planet of our solar system is the doldrum homeworld. 646 00:44:28,630 --> 00:44:31,550 Captain, the Martian warship is approaching the fifth planet at high 647 00:44:31,550 --> 00:44:32,550 impulse. 648 00:44:32,850 --> 00:44:33,850 On screen. 649 00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:39,210 We will be in firing range of the Martian ship in less than one minute. 650 00:44:39,450 --> 00:44:40,730 The phasers aren't working yet. 651 00:44:40,990 --> 00:44:43,810 We just need to disable the Martian ship. Can we try a tractor beam? There's 652 00:44:43,810 --> 00:44:46,230 not enough power at this range. Photon torpedoes. We need something. 653 00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:49,710 Checking. Captain, my calculations indicate that if the Martians detonate 654 00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:52,310 our antimatter pod at their current proximity, they will be unable to escape 655 00:44:52,310 --> 00:44:53,310 the explosion. 656 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:56,350 It's the only way to guarantee a kill shot. 657 00:44:57,630 --> 00:45:00,270 She's going to sacrifice her ship and her crew to destroy the planet. 658 00:45:00,490 --> 00:45:03,190 Captain, I think we have enough power to fire one photon torpedo. 659 00:45:03,430 --> 00:45:04,388 As soon as we're in range. 660 00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:06,230 Martian ship just activated a missile launcher. 661 00:45:10,580 --> 00:45:11,840 They have deployed the antimatter. 662 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,440 Can we shoot it down without detonating it? Yes, but we're still not in range. 663 00:45:25,540 --> 00:45:26,800 Spock, how long to impact? 30 seconds. 664 00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:30,200 Erika, give it everything you've got. Push it right to the edge. We have to 665 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,200 get in range. Aye, sir. 666 00:45:31,660 --> 00:45:33,180 Come on, baby. You've got this. 667 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,440 20 seconds to impact. 668 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,160 Erika. Pegging the red line, sir. 669 00:45:37,140 --> 00:45:40,660 There's a reason for those lights. Shut them off, Scotty. Sir, we're in range. 670 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,160 Locking photon torpedo on target. 671 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,760 Twelve seconds to impact. Target locked. We've got it, sir. 672 00:45:49,060 --> 00:45:50,060 Captain. 673 00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:51,740 Fire, sir. 674 00:45:57,660 --> 00:46:01,720 Do not fire. Repeat, do not fire. But, sir. Captain, that planet's about to be 675 00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:02,960 destroyed by our technology. 676 00:46:03,580 --> 00:46:05,560 Our future's at stake. We must fire. 677 00:46:05,780 --> 00:46:07,880 You heard my order. Hold fire. Stand down, photon torpedo. 678 00:46:08,180 --> 00:46:11,400 Chris, our future notwithstanding, we can't just sit here and let that entire 679 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,400 planet be destroyed. 680 00:46:12,620 --> 00:46:16,780 In our future, there is no fifth planet. 681 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,640 Three seconds. 682 00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:21,420 Two. 683 00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:22,900 One. 684 00:46:57,710 --> 00:46:58,710 I'm sorry. 685 00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:09,170 That blast wave is going to hit us, but I think I can outrun it. 686 00:47:10,210 --> 00:47:11,810 No, we should not run. 687 00:47:12,090 --> 00:47:13,550 We need to head into the blast wave. 688 00:47:13,950 --> 00:47:14,950 Head into that? 689 00:47:15,270 --> 00:47:18,650 You saw what just happened to the Martian ship. We may be able to use it 690 00:47:18,650 --> 00:47:19,750 to send us back to our time. 691 00:47:20,070 --> 00:47:23,490 The antimatter explosion, combined with the explosion of the planet's core, has 692 00:47:23,490 --> 00:47:26,210 created the necessary energy to free Enterprise from this temporal anchor 693 00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:29,760 point. Snapping the quantum entanglement back to the exact point we came from. 694 00:47:30,060 --> 00:47:32,080 Before the blast wave tears our ship apart? 695 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,760 Unknown. 696 00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:36,540 But it is our only option if we intend to go home. 697 00:47:38,980 --> 00:47:40,720 Erica, come about. 698 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,560 Take it straight into the blast wave. 699 00:47:42,980 --> 00:47:45,300 Spock, if you have any calculations, now's the time. 700 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,720 Helm, come to course 147 Mark II. 701 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,160 Roger that. 702 00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:55,080 Everybody, hang on to something. 703 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,920 Anything. 704 00:47:58,860 --> 00:47:59,860 Everything. 705 00:48:54,570 --> 00:48:58,030 After running multiple simulations, I determined that a fragment from the 706 00:48:58,030 --> 00:49:00,210 Doldrum planet is the Chicxulub asteroid. 707 00:49:00,510 --> 00:49:06,450 The one that hit Earth 65 million years ago and led to the extinction of the 708 00:49:06,450 --> 00:49:07,450 dinosaurs. 709 00:49:07,690 --> 00:49:09,790 Does that mean... Yes. 710 00:49:10,650 --> 00:49:15,350 The remaining debris, less than 4% of the planet's original mass, eventually 711 00:49:15,350 --> 00:49:17,310 became part of the asteroid belt as we've come to know it. 712 00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:21,010 Furthermore, the absence of the planet caused a gravimetric shift in the 713 00:49:21,010 --> 00:49:22,710 system, moving Mars further from the sun. 714 00:49:23,210 --> 00:49:25,450 Its atmosphere cooled to become the Mars we know today. 715 00:49:26,210 --> 00:49:28,850 Earth also cooled, ushering in the Cenozoic era. 716 00:49:30,130 --> 00:49:33,430 And eventually... The evolution of humanity. 717 00:49:36,330 --> 00:49:39,290 Even I remember a part of that. 718 00:49:40,090 --> 00:49:44,610 So we only exist because of what we did? 719 00:49:45,650 --> 00:49:48,210 I think we may exist because of what we didn't do. 720 00:49:49,170 --> 00:49:51,530 The Martians had to take our weapons. 721 00:49:52,810 --> 00:49:55,830 And we had to let them destroy the Dolton planet. 722 00:49:57,890 --> 00:49:59,410 Because they always have. 723 00:50:00,950 --> 00:50:02,450 We were always there. 724 00:50:04,290 --> 00:50:09,370 So we were never in danger of changing anything? Or were we? What about 725 00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:12,730 Commander Cassell? Did she destroy her own planet? 726 00:50:19,230 --> 00:50:20,230 I think. 727 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,520 We could all use a night off. 728 00:50:25,860 --> 00:50:27,300 Yeah, I heard it. 729 00:50:27,940 --> 00:50:30,500 Let's go before he changes his mind. 730 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:33,440 You're all dismissed. 731 00:50:37,620 --> 00:50:38,620 Thank you. 732 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,040 Come on, you can sell. 733 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,720 She just wanted to save her own people. I would have done exactly the same 734 00:50:56,720 --> 00:50:57,720 thing. 735 00:50:58,260 --> 00:51:01,700 And now they're all gone, without a trace of their ever having existed. 736 00:51:02,900 --> 00:51:04,020 Not entirely. 737 00:51:06,940 --> 00:51:09,520 I ran Cassell's DNA through our database. 738 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,680 It appears that Martian DNA is present in innumerable species throughout the 739 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,620 galaxy. They escaped. 740 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,320 Some at least. And the Commander may not have survived. 741 00:51:24,460 --> 00:51:25,500 In the dull Durham. 742 00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:34,080 If their planet had remained in the system, entire histories would be 743 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,080 erased. 744 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:37,860 Trillions of lives. 745 00:51:40,380 --> 00:51:41,500 Evolutions undone. 746 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:48,600 Yeah, but...
