Star Trek Strange New Worlds...

00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,450
I've read that the Aenar have
a form of precognitive ability.
3

I knew you were going to ask that.

Rukiya. My daughter.
7

A year ago, she was diagnosed
with cygnokemia.
8
00:00:42,961 --> 00:00:44,129
Story time?
9
00:00:44,213 --> 00:00:45,464
You bet.
10
00:00:45,547 --> 00:00:47,966
You've read this, like, a hundred times.

couldn't miraculously change.

The Enterprise is conducting a routine
survey of the Jonisian Nebula.
15

There isn't a great deal
for Sickbay to do,
16
00:01:11,657 --> 00:01:13,825
so I've been continuing my own research.
17
00:01:14,826 --> 00:01:16,787
The patient's condition
has not improved.
18
00:01:17,871 --> 00:01:20,290
Months have become days
and have become hours.
19
00:01:21,083 --> 00:01:22,918
Every minute has become invaluable.
20
00:01:23,585 --> 00:01:25,212
She has so little time left.
21
00:01:26,296 --> 00:01:27,297
RUKIYA: Daddy.
22
00:01:28,006 --> 00:01:29,258
Finish the story.
23
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:32,010
I like it when you read the ending.
24
00:01:33,512 --> 00:01:35,264
You need to go back in, Rukiya.
25
00:01:35,347 --> 00:01:36,723
Just finish it with me.
26
00:01:37,557 --> 00:01:38,558

Yes.

can I see your quarters?

Was there a reason they haven't been
cleared for active duty yet?

No.

Maybe you're pushing yourself too hard.
73

Rukiya has been living
in that transporter for too long.
74

Much longer than I anticipated.

I sympathize
with your duties as a father.

of your duties
as our chief medical officer.

I will ensure that the landing party
is cleared for duty immediately.

Nice change of pace, wouldn't you agree?
101
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:14,209
Captain, you have repeatedly told me
102
00:06:14,292 --> 00:06:15,752
that humans have a superstition
103
00:06:15,835 --> 00:06:17,462
against calling attention to good things
104
00:06:17,546 --> 00:06:18,672
by saying them out loud.
105
00:06:19,589 --> 00:06:20,715
Why, Mr. Spock,
106
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:23,760
I never took you
for the superstitious type.

00:06:25,387 --> 00:06:27,222

Course set and ready for warp

111
00:06:37,774 --> 00:06:38,858
You gonna say the thing?
112
00:06:40,652 --> 00:06:41,653
Hit it.

but we're frozen in place.

Mr. Spock?
122
00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:01,089
Scans indicate a minor synchrotron flux
123
00:07:01,172 --> 00:07:02,716
emanating from inside the nebula.
124
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:05,218
Perhaps that has affected
our warp capabilities.
125
00:07:05,302 --> 00:07:06,428
Or...
126
00:07:06,511 --> 00:07:07,887
Or?

Perhaps you did, indeed, jinx it.

Despite our lack of motion,
the warp core
132
00:07:17,856 --> 00:07:19,858
seems to be functioning
within normal parameters.
133
00:07:19,941 --> 00:07:21,776
Perhaps the nebula has merely affected
134
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:24,195
our ability to achieve
a static warp bubble.
135
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:25,679
Suggest we engage impulse thrusters

00:07:25,739 --> 00:07:27,949

of its gravitational influence.

00:11:32,277 --> 00:11:34,237
if you took a seat, King Ridley.
183
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:36,906
Maybe I should sit.
184
00:11:39,784 --> 00:11:41,870
Perhaps Your Highness is parched.
185
00:11:41,953 --> 00:11:43,788
A sip of wine would refresh you.
186
00:11:43,872 --> 00:11:45,331
ORTEGAS: What are you doing?
187
00:11:45,415 --> 00:11:48,626
I'm just trying to help
our poor, tired king.
188
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:51,045
Where did the wine come from, Rauth?
189
00:11:51,129 --> 00:11:53,298
Let's see. It came
from beside the carafe.
190
00:11:53,381 --> 00:11:55,717
It is my sworn duty
191
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,468
to tend to the king's well-being.
192
00:11:57,552 --> 00:12:01,306
He shall drink nothing
I have not tasted first.
193
00:12:01,598 --> 00:12:02,849
And as chamberlain,
194
00:12:02,932 --> 00:12:05,101
the king's health
is my greatest concern.
195
00:12:06,978 --> 00:12:09,480
Your words could polish
the finest of apples, Sir Rauth.
196
00:12:09,981 --> 00:12:11,524
Perhaps they are better suited...
197
00:12:11,649 --> 00:12:12,650
Ow.
198
00:12:12,734 --> 00:12:13,776
...to the kitchen.
199
00:12:14,652 --> 00:12:16,237
I need a moment.
200
00:12:16,321 --> 00:12:20,241
Computer, are you registering any
abnormal readings on the bridge?
201
00:12:20,658 --> 00:12:24,746
- (WHISPERS) "Computer"?
- He obviously means the Oracle.
202
00:12:24,829 --> 00:12:25,830
Computer?
203
00:12:36,466 --> 00:12:37,467
The explosion.
204
00:12:38,843 --> 00:12:41,763
Perhaps the 3-QND
is causing me to hallucinate.
205
00:12:43,181 --> 00:12:46,100
- I need to get to Sickbay.
- To Sickbay.
206
00:12:46,184 --> 00:12:48,269
Uh, sorry, Your Highness.
Where is this bay?
207
00:12:48,353 --> 00:12:50,396
And, ooh, do I need
to commandeer a ship?
208
00:12:52,815 --> 00:12:55,860
I knew this dreadful fog was
a bad omen as soon as it appeared.
209
00:12:56,277 --> 00:12:57,695
Fog?
210
00:12:57,779 --> 00:12:58,988
What fog?
211
00:12:59,072 --> 00:13:02,033
A mysterious smoky wall.
212
00:13:02,742 --> 00:13:05,036
It has engulfed
the entire kingdom, sire.
213
00:13:06,287 --> 00:13:07,997
Poisonous air.
214
00:13:08,081 --> 00:13:11,751
I wager it's a curse sent by Queen Neve.
215
00:13:11,834 --> 00:13:14,003
Sorcery is a coward's weapon.
216
00:13:14,087 --> 00:13:16,714
Give me a clean kill by sword any day.
217
00:13:17,924 --> 00:13:18,967
Really?
218
00:13:20,009 --> 00:13:22,303
- Uh...
- Where are you going? Sire?
219
00:13:22,387 --> 00:13:23,846
I'm going to get a medical...
220
00:13:26,391 --> 00:13:27,642
A magical device.
221
00:13:28,101 --> 00:13:29,602
Called a tricorder.
222
00:13:29,686 --> 00:13:31,062
It will give me some answers.
223
00:13:33,439 --> 00:13:34,774
Just stay here.
224
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:37,235
- Both of you.

- My king.
- My liege.
228
00:14:09,517 --> 00:14:12,020
It is wonderful to see you, King Ridley.
229
00:14:12,854 --> 00:14:14,772
What brings you to my sanctuary?
230
00:14:18,109 --> 00:14:19,277
I'm looking for this.
231
00:14:21,112 --> 00:14:22,238
Some sort of
232
00:14:23,698 --> 00:14:24,741
healing stone?
233
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,911
M'BENGA: Its readings indicate
I'm perfectly healthy.
234
00:14:28,995 --> 00:14:30,163
Readings?
235
00:14:32,623 --> 00:14:34,292
Allow me to examine you.

So much pain.

- (EXHALES)
- It weighs down your spirit.
240

You should have come to me sooner.

(TRICORDER WHIRRING SOFTLY)

And what does your device say of me?
243
00:15:00,693 --> 00:15:03,237
It seems your dopamine levels
are highly elevated.
244
00:15:03,321 --> 00:15:04,322
Dopamine?
245

My king. I know you said not to follow,
247

but Princess Thalia insisted.

(EXHALES)
249
00:15:25,718 --> 00:15:28,429
My dear, brave King Ridley.
250
00:15:28,513 --> 00:15:31,140
I'm so grateful
to have finally found you.
251
00:15:31,224 --> 00:15:34,894
Queen Neve has invaded my kingdom.
252
00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:37,939
She's obsessed with the Mercury Stone.
She thinks I have it.
253
00:15:38,022 --> 00:15:39,273
Her Crimson Guard
254
00:15:39,357 --> 00:15:42,652
captured my throne
and imprisoned my subjects.
255
00:15:42,735 --> 00:15:44,362
I mean, I scarcely escaped with my life,
256
00:15:44,445 --> 00:15:47,406
not to mention my poor little Runa.
257
00:15:47,490 --> 00:15:49,325
- Isn't that right?
- That, uh...

- LA'AN: Mommy loves you so much.
- That is terrible.

LA'AN: I know
260
00:15:52,662 --> 00:15:55,706
you have the Mercury Stone
safely in your keeping.
261
00:15:56,666 --> 00:15:57,667
I...

(GROWLS SOFTLY)

Sure.
264
00:16:05,758 --> 00:16:06,759
Yes.
265
00:16:07,426 --> 00:16:08,553
The stone is safe.
266
00:16:09,345 --> 00:16:10,388
Heed me.
267
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:13,975
If you do not harness the stone's powers
268
00:16:14,058 --> 00:16:16,477
to capture and stop Queen Neve,
269
00:16:16,561 --> 00:16:18,688
she will have all of us in chains.
270
00:16:18,771 --> 00:16:21,065
Your kingdom will fall as mine has.
271
00:16:24,026 --> 00:16:25,945
Uh, what is this?
272
00:16:26,946 --> 00:16:29,490
This does not look
like the Mercury Stone.
273
00:16:30,366 --> 00:16:31,576
You are very perceptive.
274
00:16:32,368 --> 00:16:33,369
It is not.

Oh!

Brutal Queen Neve stands
nary a chance, Runa, does she?

Is it good?

00:17:03,566 --> 00:17:04,734
It's curious.
287
00:17:06,152 --> 00:17:08,905
It's a sign of heightened
neurological activity.
288
00:17:10,156 --> 00:17:12,950
My king, the princess is right.
289
00:17:13,284 --> 00:17:16,370
If you're not prepared to use
the power of the stone,
290
00:17:16,454 --> 00:17:20,625
then allow me to lead an attack
against the Crimson Guard.

- The Crimson Guard.
- (GASPS)

Let me go.
I'll have you court-martialed.

Silence. Did you think your crimes
would go unpunished, wizard?

I'm not a wizard.
I'm the chief engineer.
301
00:17:47,485 --> 00:17:48,861
You wear a wizard's robes.

HEMMER: This is absurd.
303
00:17:50,071 --> 00:17:52,365
I don't know where these came from.
They just appeared.

to strike fear in your evil hearts.

to surrender the Mercury Stone.

But what about the Letter of Accords?

Are not Lady Audrey's woods

The king speaks the truth.
316
00:18:42,373 --> 00:18:45,918
Queen Neve no longer acknowledges
the Letter of Accords.

These are now her woods,

I don't actually have the stone.

That wizard, Castor?

He knows where it is.
328
00:19:25,333 --> 00:19:26,500
We must rescue him.
329
00:19:30,129 --> 00:19:31,756
Absolutely. Good plan.

00:19:32,590 --> 00:19:33,591
Fantastic.

Wizard Castor here,

00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:42,767
at the center of her realm,
334

surrounded by her most powerful forces
and weapons.
335
00:19:46,771 --> 00:19:48,397
My good king, you mustn't go.
336
00:19:48,481 --> 00:19:52,151
You will surely fall victim
to her most terrible magics.

The princess is shrewd, as always.
338
00:19:55,946 --> 00:19:58,199
Staging a rescue would be unwise.
339
00:19:58,282 --> 00:20:01,118
Diplomacy might be more prudent.
340
00:20:01,202 --> 00:20:04,455
I'm sorry,
but we need the Mercury Stone.
341
00:20:04,538 --> 00:20:07,625
And it's hard to hear over the sound
of your trembling boots.

That's enough.
343
00:20:10,127 --> 00:20:11,837
We're going to try diplomacy.
344
00:20:13,798 --> 00:20:16,509
If that doesn't work,
then you can cut something in half.

- You're ridiculous.

as possible, please.

Okay.
364
00:21:18,362 --> 00:21:19,363
Let's go.
365
00:21:20,156 --> 00:21:22,700
I think I might be
more useful staying...
366
00:21:22,783 --> 00:21:24,243
- M'BENGA: Come, man!
- All right.

of Crimson banners.

We are not alone.
371
00:21:43,888 --> 00:21:45,055
Step forward.
372
00:21:45,848 --> 00:21:46,932
Slowly.
373
00:21:52,188 --> 00:21:54,565

King Ridley.
376
00:22:03,532 --> 00:22:04,992
I'm surprised to find you here,
377
00:22:05,075 --> 00:22:08,370
though I cannot say
if I think it foolish or brave.
378
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:10,080
Right.
379
00:22:10,873 --> 00:22:12,833
Well, we're looking
for the Wizard Castor.
380
00:22:13,959 --> 00:22:15,878
Ah. A fool's errand, then,
381
00:22:16,420 --> 00:22:18,464
for he is now
in the hands of Queen Neve.
382
00:22:18,547 --> 00:22:21,091
And what is to keep us
from simply marching in there
383
00:22:21,175 --> 00:22:22,301
and taking him?
384
00:22:23,552 --> 00:22:24,887
The Swamp of Infinite Deaths.
385
00:22:25,262 --> 00:22:27,014
Oh, that is not a good swamp.
386
00:22:27,598 --> 00:22:30,184
Alas, the only way to her kingdom
takes you straight through it.
387
00:22:30,851 --> 00:22:33,354
Oh. Oh, turn back then?
388
00:22:33,437 --> 00:22:34,522
Yes? No?
389
00:22:34,605 --> 00:22:37,775
I would die infinite deaths
to no longer hear your whining.
390
00:22:39,026 --> 00:22:40,361
Are you sure, Pollux,
391
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:43,697
that there is no way for you to help us?
392
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,410
- Why should I help you?
- Because Castor is your brother?
393
00:22:49,078 --> 00:22:50,538
- He is?
- I had no idea.
394
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:51,956
How did you know?
395
00:22:52,623 --> 00:22:53,624
I read it in a book.
396
00:22:54,792 --> 00:22:57,253
And you would help Castor?
397
00:22:58,003 --> 00:22:59,838
Not merely use him for his power?
398
00:22:59,922 --> 00:23:01,632
If you lead us through the swamp,
399
00:23:03,217 --> 00:23:04,426
I promise to free him.
400
00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:07,429
Hmm.
401
00:23:09,765 --> 00:23:10,891
I shall aid you, then.
402
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,644
There is a way around the swamp.
A secret way.
403
00:23:14,728 --> 00:23:15,729
A dark way.
404
00:23:16,564 --> 00:23:17,606
Follow me.

408

Are you sure we can trust him?
409
00:23:35,165 --> 00:23:36,166
No.
410
00:23:36,792 --> 00:23:38,377
I'm sure we can't trust him.
411
00:23:39,211 --> 00:23:40,379
But that's okay.
412
00:23:40,462 --> 00:23:43,173
This is still the only way
to get to Castor.

00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:45,801

Welcome to my kingdom.

00:24:14,455 --> 00:24:17,416
Now, kneel before me.
416
00:24:18,876 --> 00:24:19,877
Yes, of course.
417
00:24:22,046 --> 00:24:24,506
ORTEGAS: My king,
we have been led into a trap.
418
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,467
I suspected as much.
419
00:24:27,259 --> 00:24:28,260
You knew?
420
00:24:28,969 --> 00:24:29,970
Loosely.
421
00:24:31,055 --> 00:24:33,265
In any case, I knew
Queen Neve should be entering
422
00:24:33,349 --> 00:24:34,850
the story right about now.
423
00:24:34,933 --> 00:24:37,102
And I knew I should have
stayed in the castle.
424
00:24:37,603 --> 00:24:39,438
It's always safer at home. Ow.
425
00:24:40,773 --> 00:24:42,566
Welcome, King Ridley.
426
00:24:43,484 --> 00:24:46,737
Now, where is the Mercury Stone?
427
00:24:49,615 --> 00:24:51,784
Could be anywhere, really.
428
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,496
Fine.
429
00:24:55,579 --> 00:24:58,749
I'll let my torturers
drag its location out of you, then.
430
00:24:58,832 --> 00:25:00,501
They love their work.
431
00:25:00,584 --> 00:25:01,710
They're very
432
00:25:02,753 --> 00:25:03,796
thorough.
433
00:25:05,089 --> 00:25:06,757
They look everywhere.
434
00:25:08,384 --> 00:25:11,595
I promise you'll be compensated
well for your loyalty, sorcerer.
435
00:25:12,971 --> 00:25:14,598
Thank you, Queen Neve.
436
00:25:14,682 --> 00:25:16,392
You wanted to see my brother?
437
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:18,936
Now you can join him.
438
00:25:19,770 --> 00:25:20,938
In the dungeon.
439
00:25:30,155 --> 00:25:32,074
I can't take it anymore, I tell you!
440
00:25:32,908 --> 00:25:33,951
The walls!
441
00:25:34,827 --> 00:25:37,204
The walls are starting
to close in on me!
442
00:25:37,287 --> 00:25:39,289
Hemmer, am I glad to see you.
443
00:25:39,373 --> 00:25:41,393
Are we the only two crew members
who are unaffected?
444
00:25:41,417 --> 00:25:42,793
It would appear so.
445
00:25:42,876 --> 00:25:45,838
Do you have any idea
why everyone's acting so strangely?
446
00:25:45,921 --> 00:25:48,090
They're all playing characters
from a children's book
447
00:25:48,173 --> 00:25:50,175
called The Elysian Kingdom.
448
00:25:50,259 --> 00:25:51,427
A children's book?
449
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:54,471
- How do you know this?
- Because I read it to my daughter.
450
00:25:55,514 --> 00:25:57,182
It's a long story.
451
00:25:57,266 --> 00:26:00,477
The important question to ask is
why you and I aren't affected
452
00:26:00,561 --> 00:26:01,812
and why they are.
453
00:26:03,147 --> 00:26:04,982
I thought the important question is,
454
00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:06,984
where is the Mercury Stone?
455
00:26:08,152 --> 00:26:10,320
- Stone?
- M'BENGA: It's a weapon.
456
00:26:10,487 --> 00:26:12,948
But it's fictional. From the book.
457
00:26:13,031 --> 00:26:14,408
Where is this weapon?
458
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:18,203
Well, in the book,
Castor helps King Ridley to find it.
459
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:20,289
I have no idea how to find it.
460
00:26:20,372 --> 00:26:22,082
I know. I came to rescue you
461
00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:24,585
because you're the only
other person unaffected,
462
00:26:24,668 --> 00:26:27,129
which means you can help
solve the real problem.
463
00:26:27,337 --> 00:26:29,173
How do we undo all of this?
464
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:31,925
Where were you when it started?
465
00:26:32,009 --> 00:26:33,385
In Engineering.
466
00:26:33,469 --> 00:26:36,346
I had just checked the warp engines,
and I suddenly felt,
467
00:26:37,306 --> 00:26:38,640
I don't know,
468
00:26:38,724 --> 00:26:41,018
a consciousness press against my own.
469
00:26:41,101 --> 00:26:42,978
Luckily, my years of telepathic training
470
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:44,438
allowed me to block it.
471
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:45,606
Consciousness?
472
00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:47,941
Coming from where?
473
00:26:48,025 --> 00:26:49,465
I didn't have time to figure it out.
474
00:26:49,526 --> 00:26:51,612
I assume I'm able to keep my memories
475
00:26:51,695 --> 00:26:53,530
because of my telepathic abilities.
476
00:26:53,614 --> 00:26:56,408
Have you considered, Doctor,
the entity I sensed
477
00:26:56,492 --> 00:26:58,619
might have pulled the story
from your mind?
478
00:26:58,952 --> 00:27:00,204
But why?
479
00:27:00,537 --> 00:27:02,372
Impossible to know without asking.
480
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:03,791
Hemmer,
481
00:27:04,792 --> 00:27:07,795
do you think you can make contact
with this entity again?
482
00:27:07,878 --> 00:27:11,173
Contact with it is unpleasant.
That's why I blocked it.
483
00:27:12,216 --> 00:27:15,427
It felt as if my brain were
being squeezed through my nose.
484
00:27:15,511 --> 00:27:16,720
I did that to a man once.
485
00:27:18,222 --> 00:27:19,640
I was, however,
486
00:27:19,723 --> 00:27:22,142
able to sense that the entity's
not on another ship
487
00:27:22,226 --> 00:27:25,020
but rather a part of the nebula itself.
488
00:27:25,103 --> 00:27:27,314
Do you think if we access
the ship's scanner array,
489
00:27:27,397 --> 00:27:29,149
we can learn more about this entity?
490
00:27:29,233 --> 00:27:30,234
It's quite possible.
491
00:27:31,068 --> 00:27:32,236
Engineering is close by.
492
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:34,238
I can control
the ship's systems from there.
493
00:27:34,321 --> 00:27:36,490
We have to find a way out of here first.
494
00:27:36,573 --> 00:27:37,699
And fast.
495
00:27:37,783 --> 00:27:41,245
Maybe I can get us out of here
with the help of some powerful magic
496
00:27:41,328 --> 00:27:42,412
called science.
497
00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:52,965
What would a human magician say?
498
00:27:53,048 --> 00:27:54,383
Abracadabra.
499
00:27:54,633 --> 00:27:56,802
Abracadabra. I like it.
500
00:27:57,761 --> 00:27:59,179
Don't look. It'll blind you.
501
00:27:59,263 --> 00:28:00,681
What about you?
502
00:28:00,764 --> 00:28:02,599
I am a wizard.

Oh, thank goodness.
505
00:28:16,446 --> 00:28:17,614
Oh!
506
00:28:25,038 --> 00:28:26,748
Not bad, wizard.
507
00:28:28,125 --> 00:28:29,334
I like this
508
00:28:30,127 --> 00:28:31,295

510
00:28:40,262 --> 00:28:43,765
What do you mean
that the prisoners have escaped?
511
00:28:44,892 --> 00:28:47,853
The wizard conjured
his way out of the cell.
512
00:28:47,936 --> 00:28:51,523
And yet you stand here cowering
513
00:28:51,607 --> 00:28:54,610
- instead of going after them.
- I was about to.
514
00:28:54,693 --> 00:28:56,111
UHURA: You were about to?
515
00:28:57,654 --> 00:29:00,657
You were about to lose your head.
516
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:06,371
Be grateful
your queen is feeling merciful today.
517
00:29:07,331 --> 00:29:09,708
I will give you another chance
to earn my favor.
518
00:29:14,504 --> 00:29:16,006
Pollux,
519
00:29:16,089 --> 00:29:18,634
would you be so kind
as to take my Crimson Guard
520
00:29:18,717 --> 00:29:20,469
and bring back my prisoners
521
00:29:20,552 --> 00:29:22,679
before I toss you in the dungeon
in their place?
522
00:29:23,639 --> 00:29:24,806
As you wish, my liege.
523

(DOOR WHOOSHES SHUT)
525
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:39,237
Once inside, I can block the door.
526
00:29:39,321 --> 00:29:42,616
That should give us time
to access the ship's scanner array.
527
00:29:42,699 --> 00:29:45,202
And what ship, pray tell,
are you speaking of?
528
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:47,371
Spock.
529
00:29:48,288 --> 00:29:49,331
M'BENGA: Pollux.
530
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:54,086
Get out of our way.
531
00:29:54,169 --> 00:29:56,505
Or what? You're unarmed.
532
00:30:00,008 --> 00:30:01,677
(GRUNTING)
533
00:30:04,179 --> 00:30:06,056
I have armed myself.
534

(GRUNTING)
535
00:30:11,687 --> 00:30:13,814
It would seem Adya has
this fight well under control.
536
00:30:13,897 --> 00:30:16,297
Perhaps I would serve you best
from the safety of the castle.
537
00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:19,569
- M'BENGA: Sure.
- Thank you, sire!
538
00:30:21,321 --> 00:30:22,322
Really?
539
00:30:22,406 --> 00:30:25,158
Sir Rauth isn't exactly known
for his bravery.

This isn't over.
544
00:31:12,164 --> 00:31:13,165
UNA: Yes, it is.
545
00:31:15,083 --> 00:31:16,793
What's happening? Who is this?
546
00:31:17,461 --> 00:31:19,379
Z'ymira the Huntress.
547
00:31:22,007 --> 00:31:23,300
She's an ally.
548
00:31:26,344 --> 00:31:28,013
- Z'ymira.
- Adya.
549
00:31:32,684 --> 00:31:33,977
You said you would call on me.
550
00:31:34,061 --> 00:31:35,562
Been a busy time.
551
00:31:35,645 --> 00:31:37,522
A raven would be too much trouble?
552
00:31:37,606 --> 00:31:38,732
Can we not do this now?
553
00:31:38,815 --> 00:31:40,901
I saved your life.
That's something, right?
554
00:31:40,984 --> 00:31:44,029
As grateful as I am
for whatever this is,
555
00:31:44,112 --> 00:31:46,281
we really should be
hurrying on to Engineering.
556
00:31:46,364 --> 00:31:49,493
Yes. We should put an end
to this fantasy
557
00:31:49,576 --> 00:31:51,661
before someone seriously gets hurt.
558
00:31:53,330 --> 00:31:55,373
This is most unusual.
559
00:31:55,999 --> 00:31:59,252
When I scan the nebula, I find
evidence of a single life form,
560
00:31:59,336 --> 00:32:01,421
including brain activity, and yet
561
00:32:01,505 --> 00:32:03,840
there is no sign of a physical body.
562
00:32:05,175 --> 00:32:07,302
A consciousness without a body.
563
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:09,763
Floating in space.
564
00:32:10,722 --> 00:32:13,683
With the power to create a new reality?
565
00:32:14,434 --> 00:32:16,686
Sounds almost like
you're describing a god.
566
00:32:17,896 --> 00:32:21,817
Doctor, are you familiar with
the theory of the Boltzmann brain?
567
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:25,112
I recall learning something
about it in university.
568
00:32:25,779 --> 00:32:26,863
A Boltzmann brain
569
00:32:26,947 --> 00:32:29,908
is a theoretical, spontaneously
generated consciousness.
570
00:32:31,326 --> 00:32:34,121
It may be we have just encountered one.
571
00:32:36,331 --> 00:32:37,541
So one day,
572
00:32:38,875 --> 00:32:40,043
out of nothing,
573
00:32:40,877 --> 00:32:42,879
an all-powerful being just
574
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,881
appears?
575
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,221
And this consciousness has somehow
trapped our ship in the nebula?
576
00:32:51,304 --> 00:32:54,391
And turned the crew into
the characters from a book I've read?
577
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:56,810
At least it made you the hero.
578
00:32:59,312 --> 00:33:00,772
Let's say you're right.
579
00:33:00,856 --> 00:33:02,357
How do we get it to stop?
580
00:33:03,358 --> 00:33:04,484
Because until we do,
581
00:33:05,193 --> 00:33:06,736
we are stuck here.
582
00:33:06,820 --> 00:33:08,405
Perhaps you are the problem.
583
00:33:09,072 --> 00:33:11,575
It's recreating a story you read.
584
00:33:11,658 --> 00:33:14,411
It is possible the entity
is reading your brainwaves.
585
00:33:14,828 --> 00:33:17,998
If we can find a way
to sever that connection,
586
00:33:18,081 --> 00:33:19,791
like by hurting you,
587
00:33:19,875 --> 00:33:21,668
the entity might let the Enterprise go.
588
00:33:21,751 --> 00:33:24,546
You dare to threaten my king?
589
00:33:24,629 --> 00:33:26,256
Stand down, Adya.
590
00:33:26,339 --> 00:33:28,425
I can shoot him with an arrow
if that helps.
591
00:33:30,093 --> 00:33:31,887
I don't really understand
what's going on.
592
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:33,847
I thought the point
was to hurt the king.
593
00:33:33,930 --> 00:33:35,307
What's wrong with you?
594
00:33:35,390 --> 00:33:37,684
I have sworn an oath to protect him.
595
00:33:37,767 --> 00:33:39,686
You'll just never understand that,
will you?
596
00:33:39,769 --> 00:33:42,063
I am Huntress of the Forest.
597
00:33:42,147 --> 00:33:44,191
I swore my allegiance to no one but her.
598
00:33:44,274 --> 00:33:45,400
You know that.
599
00:33:45,483 --> 00:33:48,028
Sometimes I wonder
if we have anything in common.
600
00:33:48,778 --> 00:33:51,573
Perhaps it is your differences
which drew you together.
601
00:33:53,116 --> 00:33:54,367
M'BENGA: Hold on a second.
602
00:33:55,619 --> 00:33:56,953
Something's wrong here.
603
00:33:57,787 --> 00:33:59,206
Your Majesty?
604
00:33:59,289 --> 00:34:01,082
This is not how the story goes.
605
00:34:02,125 --> 00:34:05,754
The two of you. Adya, Z'ymira,
you don't even know each other.
606
00:34:06,463 --> 00:34:09,799
Not to contradict you,
but we know each other quite...
607
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:11,468
Quite well.
608
00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:13,511
Quite well.
609
00:34:14,221 --> 00:34:15,764
But you're not supposed to.
610
00:34:17,015 --> 00:34:20,602
The two of you never actually meet
in the book.
611
00:34:22,938 --> 00:34:25,398
Except... Rukiya.
612
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,986
Rukiya? Is she a character?
613
00:34:30,070 --> 00:34:31,863
She's my daughter.
614
00:34:33,281 --> 00:34:37,160
She has always hated
how the story ended.
615
00:34:37,827 --> 00:34:40,580
She wanted Sir Adya
and Z'ymira to team up.
616
00:34:40,664 --> 00:34:43,208
I told her when she grew up she could
617
00:34:43,291 --> 00:34:45,835
become a writer and give herself
the ending she wanted.
618
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:47,337
Are you suggesting
619
00:34:48,129 --> 00:34:50,006
the entity did not take
the story from you,
620
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:51,424
but rather from your daughter?
621
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:57,555
Where is Rukiya?
622

(BEEPING)
623
00:35:18,034 --> 00:35:19,077
She's gone.
624
00:35:37,721 --> 00:35:41,057
She was beamed out of the buffer
at 08:45 hours this morning.
625
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,562
To somewhere on the ship.
626
00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:48,857
But it won't give me her exact location.
627
00:35:49,566 --> 00:35:51,401
That's very odd.

00:35:54,070 --> 00:35:55,530
My daughter is very sick.
630
00:35:56,281 --> 00:35:58,575
The longer she stays out of the buffer,
631
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,244
the faster her illness will progress.
632
00:36:02,871 --> 00:36:05,081
- She's dying.
- I'm so sorry, Doctor.
633
00:36:06,916 --> 00:36:07,917

an end to all this.

If this is true,
640
00:36:38,948 --> 00:36:40,033
I shall take her from him
641
00:36:41,034 --> 00:36:42,577
and make her my own.

When I probed your ship,
782
00:44:35,091 --> 00:44:37,552
I felt her imprisoned in your machine.
783
00:44:37,635 --> 00:44:39,220
I sensed her loneliness.
784
00:44:39,929 --> 00:44:41,138
It matched my own.
785
00:44:42,014 --> 00:44:43,933
I created this world for her.
786
00:44:44,267 --> 00:44:48,646
To give her a piece of her childhood
you didn't allow.
787
00:44:49,230 --> 00:44:50,773
I was trying to protect her.
788
00:44:51,941 --> 00:44:54,402
Everything I did was
to keep my daughter alive.
789
00:44:55,945 --> 00:44:57,196
I was looking for a cure.
790
00:44:57,905 --> 00:44:59,824
But I'm all better now, Daddy.
791
00:44:59,907 --> 00:45:01,450
And I thank you for that.
792
00:45:02,076 --> 00:45:05,913
But whatever you are doing
to create this fantasy,
793
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:08,833
the crew cannot live like this.
794
00:45:09,417 --> 00:45:10,877
You have to let them go.
795
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,253
If I leave,
796
00:45:13,087 --> 00:45:14,422
the child will die.
797
00:45:15,298 --> 00:45:17,341
My being near her cures her.
798
00:45:18,134 --> 00:45:21,220
If I release the ship
and the child goes with you,
799
00:45:21,304 --> 00:45:23,306
she will grow sick again.
800
00:45:23,848 --> 00:45:25,516

801
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,310
Then you must make a choice.

The crew or your daughter.
803
00:45:31,564 --> 00:45:33,065
You can't ask me to do that.
804
00:45:34,233 --> 00:45:35,484
I had fun out here.
805
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,196
But I'll go back into the buffer
if you want me to, Daddy.
806
00:45:41,657 --> 00:45:42,992
There must be another way.
807
00:45:43,951 --> 00:45:45,328
There is.
808
00:45:45,494 --> 00:45:47,997
You could leave and she could stay.
809
00:45:49,957 --> 00:45:51,208
How would she live?
810
00:45:52,293 --> 00:45:54,420
It is her body that is ill.
811
00:45:54,503 --> 00:45:57,089
But her consciousness
could join with me.
812
00:45:58,299 --> 00:46:00,468
She would be free of sickness.
813
00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:03,179

if he holds onto it.
827
00:46:52,228 --> 00:46:53,562
He has to let it go.
