Humans aren't the center
of the universe,

01:45.670 --> 01:47.585
believe it or not.
So, "tell me

01:47.716 --> 01:49.196
about your first time" has
a completely different meaning

01:49.326 --> 01:50.936
- for everyone else.
- Yeah, no, I get that,

01:51.067 --> 01:52.286
but I'm... I'm just trying

01:52.416 --> 01:54.375
to fully grasp
what you just said.

01:54.505 --> 01:56.942
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
He was part Deltan,

01:57.073 --> 01:59.641
and I didn't know
that for Deltans,

01:59.815 --> 02:02.644
there's this whole thing
with bowls of cleansing milk

02:02.774 --> 02:05.429
you're supposed
to douse your body with,

02:05.516 --> 02:08.302
and then his extended family
dances around you

02:08.476 --> 02:11.566
in a circle with these weird
Deltan, like, tambourines.

02:11.740 --> 02:13.655
- No.
- Yes.

02:13.785 --> 02:17.180
- No, family tambourine dancing?
- Yes, family tambourine dancing.

02:17.311 --> 02:18.747
So much has happened
to me in my life,

02:18.877 --> 02:20.052
but nothing
is worse than this story.

02:20.227 --> 02:21.967
- Yeah. Then...
- I feel sick.

02:22.098 --> 02:23.969
...they drape you in the robes

02:24.100 --> 02:25.884
of ancient star mariners,

02:26.015 --> 02:28.713
and then you have to sing
the ancient mariner duet

02:28.844 --> 02:31.020
called "Fruitful Coupling."

02:31.107 --> 02:33.631
Unfortunately,
I'm gonna need to hear the song.

02:33.718 --> 02:35.503
Well, then you're gonna have
to hook up with a Deltan

02:35.590 --> 02:37.157
because it haunts me
and I will not be singing it.

02:37.287 --> 02:39.246
Eh, I'd rather just
hook up with you again.

02:39.420 --> 02:40.595
You sure?

02:40.769 --> 02:41.944
Oh, yeah.

02:42.074 --> 02:43.511
'Cause you know that Deltans,

02:43.685 --> 02:46.340
they do this thing...

02:46.470 --> 02:48.559
Uh-oh.

02:49.734 --> 02:51.562
W-What?

02:51.693 --> 02:53.564
Are you serious?

02:53.695 --> 02:55.087
- What, you don't believe me?
- No, I don't believe you.

02:55.262 --> 02:56.872

04:23.698 --> 04:24.916
Hey, don't--

04:26.178 --> 04:27.310
- I love you!
- Mom!

04:37.102 --> 04:39.409
Were we... in my head?

04:39.540 --> 04:41.063
That was in my head.

04:41.237 --> 04:43.021
I thought we were in your head.
How did you--

04:43.152 --> 04:44.849
I swear,
I didn't do that on purpose.

04:45.023 --> 04:47.765
It just... happened.

04:48.853 --> 04:50.768
I'm so sorry.

04:50.899 --> 04:52.074
Your mom--

04:52.248 --> 04:53.771
It's not something
I wanted to share.

04:53.902 --> 04:55.643
Okay? You could have
at least warned me.

04:55.817 --> 04:57.558
- I just said--
- I mean, do you just go around,

04:57.645 --> 04:59.429
'cause that's...
that's not cool.

04:59.560 --> 05:00.735
Okay? If it's a weird Betazoid
thing, then you should just--

05:00.909 --> 05:03.346
I should what?

05:03.433 --> 05:05.609
Control it better? Hide?

05:05.783 --> 05:08.830
You can't just go into my head
and see things like that.

05:21.408 --> 05:24.585
It's not a weird Betazoid thing.

05:24.715 --> 05:26.238
It's part of who I am.

05:26.413 --> 05:29.241
I'm not for everyone. I get it.

05:37.293 --> 05:38.425
Attention, Athena.

05:38.555 --> 05:40.035
<i>All cadets participating

05:40.165 --> 05:41.645
<i>joint Academy exercise</i>

<i>will report to the Atrium

05:46.868 --> 05:49.305
- That's not what I meant.
- Stop.

05:52.613 --> 05:54.441
I really am sorry.

05:58.314 --> 06:00.403
Tarima.

06:14.722 --> 06:16.767
<i>There was a time
when Starfleet could travel</i>

06:16.898 --> 06:20.597
<i>through Federation territory
without a second thought.</i>

06:20.771 --> 06:24.601
<i>Today, the galaxy is a hell
of a lot more complicated.</i>

06:26.734 --> 06:28.170
<i>As future</i>

06:28.344 --> 06:30.607
Starfleet officers,
you'll encounter challenges

06:30.738 --> 06:35.699
your predecessors never had
to imagine, let alone face.

06:35.830 --> 06:38.485
It's our job to prepare you
for the unimaginable.

06:38.615 --> 06:41.575
That preparation begins now.

06:41.705 --> 06:44.491
Take a moment, look outside.

06:44.621 --> 06:47.494
This is a ship graveyard.

06:47.624 --> 06:49.321
A few years ago,

06:49.496 --> 06:52.412
the War College began
using this site

06:52.542 --> 06:55.632
as a training ground
for crisis response.

06:55.763 --> 06:58.418
Today, the War College
and Starfleet Academy

06:58.592 --> 07:01.638
will work together
in a joint training exercise.

07:01.725 --> 07:03.423
We will be using that ship--

07:03.510 --> 07:05.947
the USS <i>Miyazaki.</i>

07:06.948 --> 07:10.255
<i>It carried an experimental
warp alternative</i>

07:10.386 --> 07:12.170
<i>called "the Singularity Drive."</i>

07:12.344 --> 07:14.303
<i>But when the crew
first activated it,</i>

07:14.477 --> 07:16.131
<i>the ship was destroyed</i>

07:16.261 --> 07:20.614
<i>by a cascading series
of mechanical failures.</i>

07:21.745 --> 07:24.313
Her crew perished.

07:25.445 --> 07:27.577
Half of you will go on board

07:27.708 --> 07:29.840
to simulate
a crisis response mission.

07:29.971 --> 07:33.583
The other half will remain
on the <i>Athena</i> bridge on alert

07:33.714 --> 07:35.455
so you can learn
how to effectively monitor

07:35.629 --> 07:39.110
and support crew members
on away missions.

07:40.111 --> 07:41.765
Chancellor.

07:41.896 --> 07:43.593
You will work in two teams

07:43.680 --> 07:45.900
to reactivate life support
aboard the <i>Miyazaki,</i>

07:46.030 --> 07:48.729
then restart the ship's computer
in under one hour.

07:49.773 --> 07:52.907
<i>Blue Team, led
by Lieutenant Commander Tomov,</i>

07:53.037 --> 07:56.519
<i>will use Starfleet's newest
plasma-based life-support system</i>

07:56.650 --> 07:58.695
<i>and travel over via shuttle.</i>

07:58.782 --> 08:01.611
<i>No questions will be permitted.</i>

08:01.698 --> 08:03.700
<i>And no additional information
will be provided</i>

08:03.787 --> 08:05.441
<i>while en route.</i>

08:05.572 --> 08:08.575
<i>Blue Team will have
tactical support from Red Team,</i>

08:08.662 --> 08:11.012
<i>who will provide operational
and logistical support</i>

08:11.142 --> 08:12.883
<i>from</i> Athena's <i>bridge.</i>

08:13.014 --> 08:15.712
<i>Away missions only succeed
with teamwork.</i>

08:15.799 --> 08:18.019
<i>Blue and Red must work together.</i>

08:18.193 --> 08:20.587
<i>If you fail to revive the ship
within 60 minutes,</i>

08:20.761 --> 08:22.937
<i>the away team will return
to the shuttle,</i>

08:23.024 --> 08:27.071
<i>and both teams will be replaced
by the next rotations.</i>

08:27.245 --> 08:30.597
When shift change is called,
take your assigned stations.

08:30.727 --> 08:32.642
Do not replace
your Red Team counterpart

08:32.773 --> 08:34.383
until handoff
has been confirmed.

08:34.557 --> 08:36.820
<i>In the field, your life</i>

08:36.907 --> 08:38.343
and the lives
of those around you may depend

08:38.474 --> 08:40.694
on your ability to make the most
of limited resources.

08:40.824 --> 08:45.699
In five years,
no team has scored above 65%.

08:46.961 --> 08:48.745
Good luck.

08:52.880 --> 08:54.751
<i>Attention, cadets.</i>

08:54.925 --> 08:56.623
<i>Once you have finished
your</i> Miyazaki <i>shift,</i>

08:56.797 --> 08:58.233
<i>please report to
the cadet master's office</i>

08:58.407 --> 08:59.364
<i>for a mandatory debrief.</i>

08:59.495 --> 09:01.889
Are you meditating?

09:02.019 --> 09:04.805
This challenge... echoes for me.

09:04.935 --> 09:06.415
My path to the War College began

09:06.546 --> 09:08.330
when I first read
of the <i>Miyazaki</i>

09:08.417 --> 09:10.114
in <i>Tales From the Frontier,</i>

09:10.245 --> 09:12.856
a source of hope in darker days.

09:13.030 --> 09:14.379
<i>Tales From the Frontier?</i>

09:14.510 --> 09:16.686
A comic book.

09:16.773 --> 09:20.124
Adventure stories
of the <i>Miyazaki</i> and her crew.

09:20.255 --> 09:22.605
I would have followed
Captain Chi anywhere.

09:22.736 --> 09:24.738
Federation propaganda.

09:24.912 --> 09:28.002
Feel-good, colonizing bullshit
to brainwash poor kids

09:28.132 --> 09:30.439
into fighting the good fight
for Big Brother Starfleet.

09:30.570 --> 09:32.049
Or inspire them.

09:32.136 --> 09:34.704
A concept clearly
beyond your understanding.

09:34.835 --> 09:37.533
Enough jib-jab.
Let's focus on teamwork.

09:37.664 --> 09:40.144
I need you functioning
as a unit over there.

09:40.318 --> 09:42.016
My shore leave depends on it.

09:42.146 --> 09:43.452
Sir?

09:43.539 --> 09:45.497
I wagered Commander Lura
you would be the ones

09:45.585 --> 09:48.065
who finally restore power
on the <i>Miyazaki.</i>

09:49.110 --> 09:50.546
Don't let me down.

09:50.720 --> 09:52.809
I haven't been off this ship
in six months.

10:00.425 --> 10:02.123
<i>The cadets' shuttle</i>

10:02.297 --> 10:04.821
<i>has departed shuttle bay,

10:04.952 --> 10:07.737
<i>Scans show that all systems
and sensors are nominal.</i>

10:07.868 --> 10:10.522
<i>They're approaching
the</i> Miyazaki <i>now.</i>

10:10.653 --> 10:12.046
<i>Thank you, Computer.</i>

10:12.176 --> 10:14.831
<i>Commander Tomov,
what's your status?</i>

10:14.918 --> 10:17.529
<i>Athena,
<i>we have lock. Do you copy?</i></i>

10:17.617 --> 10:19.749
<i>Affirmative, Commander Tomov.</i>

10:19.836 --> 10:22.099
Lock is stable.
You're clear to board.

10:22.230 --> 10:23.971
Wake up that ship!

10:34.503 --> 10:36.200
60 seconds, and I lose my bet

10:36.331 --> 10:37.549
that you could jump-start
life support

10:37.724 --> 10:39.639
within two minutes of boarding.

10:41.728 --> 10:44.513
Perhaps my confidence
was misplaced.

11:02.749 --> 11:03.967
Tick-tock.

11:07.884 --> 11:10.408
Is programmable matter
permitted?

11:11.409 --> 11:12.584
It's not forbidden.

11:12.715 --> 11:13.585
Cadet Mir has done his homework.

11:13.716 --> 11:15.762
Initiating reroute.

11:21.637 --> 11:23.160
I can't believe you bet Tomov

11:23.247 --> 11:25.206
that Blue Team wouldn't make it
in two minutes.

11:25.336 --> 11:26.860
- I want in.
- What's the wager?

11:26.990 --> 11:28.470
An extra day of shore leave

11:28.600 --> 11:30.994
against one gamma shift watch
says you lose.

11:31.125 --> 11:33.214
Mm-hmm.
They're already down to...

11:33.344 --> 11:34.476
34 seconds.

11:34.563 --> 11:36.173
Accepted.

11:36.347 --> 11:37.784
30 seconds.

11:37.914 --> 11:39.350
<i>And when you are</i>

11:39.437 --> 11:41.352
standing your lonely watch,

11:41.439 --> 11:44.138
I will be drinking <i>ghan'aq</i>

11:44.268 --> 11:45.879
and reciting your name

11:46.053 --> 11:48.272
along with the many who have
fallen to my superior...

11:48.446 --> 11:52.146
Captain, we have power readings
on the <i>Miyazaki.</i>

11:53.147 --> 11:54.583
They did it.

11:57.412 --> 11:58.979
Now I'm grumpy.

11:59.066 --> 12:00.458
Oh...

12:00.589 --> 12:02.025
Uh-huh.

12:02.156 --> 12:03.505
Well done, Mir.

12:03.635 --> 12:04.941
Life support is online.

12:05.072 --> 12:06.421
You may deactivate
your plasma shields.

12:09.250 --> 12:10.991
You're welcome.

12:21.088 --> 12:24.004
Captain, I'm getting
some weird readings here.

12:24.134 --> 12:25.745
They look almost
like transporter signals,

12:25.875 --> 12:27.311
but I've never seen
anything like it.

12:27.485 --> 12:28.878
No, this signature is not us.

12:29.009 --> 12:31.098
It's not Starfleet.

12:31.228 --> 12:33.622
Is this part of the exercise?

12:33.753 --> 12:35.189
Nobody else has clearance
to board.

12:35.319 --> 12:37.626
- Scan for incoming vessels.
- 15.

12:37.757 --> 12:40.281
No. Make that 30
unknown power sources moving

12:40.411 --> 12:42.936
in a spherical configuration
around the <i>Miyazaki.</i>

12:43.066 --> 12:44.546
Captain,
ten new life-form readings

12:44.720 --> 12:45.982
just appeared out of nowhere.

12:46.896 --> 12:48.245
They're boarding the ship.

12:49.986 --> 12:52.075
Emergency transport,
get Blue Team out now

12:52.206 --> 12:53.990
and take us to lockdown mode.

12:54.121 --> 12:55.949
No personnel
in or out of Academy decks.

12:56.079 --> 12:57.341
Talk to me, Lura.

12:57.515 --> 12:59.517
I cannot get a lock
on Blue Team.

12:59.648 --> 13:01.215
Our transporter signal
is blocked.

13:01.345 --> 13:02.433
There's a massive
energy field surrounding

13:02.564 --> 13:03.652
the <i>Miyazaki.</i>

13:03.783 --> 13:05.436
It's jamming all systems.

13:05.523 --> 13:06.742
I-I got no sensors, no comms.

13:06.873 --> 13:08.657
- We're being hailed.
- Red Alert!

13:08.831 --> 13:10.224
Put it through.

13:12.443 --> 13:16.012
<i>I am N'Duwo Skra.</i>

13:17.579 --> 13:21.148
<i>And I claim this salvage
for the Furies.</i>

13:21.322 --> 13:24.586
I am Captain Nahla Ake
of the United Federation.

13:24.716 --> 13:27.284
<i>We are hungry, Nahla Ake.</i>

13:32.202 --> 13:34.901
I would like to resolve
this situation immediately

13:35.031 --> 13:37.077
to our mutual satisfaction.

13:37.164 --> 13:40.080
<i>Latinum. 30,000 bars.</i>

13:40.167 --> 13:41.908
<i>You have five hours.</i>

13:42.038 --> 13:45.041
<i>No Starfleet vessels
within a light-year,</i>

13:45.172 --> 13:47.870
<i>or I eat his flesh.</i>

15:45.161 --> 15:46.467
What's happening?

15:46.597 --> 15:48.295
Shift rotation
has been suspended.

15:48.425 --> 15:51.037
- Is this a drill?
- Would that it were. Stay put.

15:52.821 --> 15:54.214
<i>You've been
running this exercise</i>

15:54.344 --> 15:56.912
for years with no problems.
We scanned every inch.

15:57.043 --> 15:59.262
They arrived just after we did,
according to the last readings

15:59.436 --> 16:02.048
we received before
the jamming field went up.

16:02.178 --> 16:04.528
So they likely have
a cloaked vessel nearby.

16:04.702 --> 16:06.400
Explains the five-hour window.

16:06.574 --> 16:09.055
They probably can't maintain
their cloak for much longer.

16:09.185 --> 16:10.708
We're paying
the-the ransom, yes?

16:11.796 --> 16:12.928
The Latinum is set for transfer,

16:13.059 --> 16:14.974
but, Nahla,
you need to know that

16:15.104 --> 16:18.716
the Furies have a nasty habit
of killing their hostages

16:18.847 --> 16:20.283
even after
their demands are met.

16:20.414 --> 16:21.937
What else do we know about them?

16:22.068 --> 16:24.766
Almost nothing, except
they're human-alien hybrids.

16:24.940 --> 16:28.639
Skra killed 19 guards breaking
out of prison the last time.

16:28.770 --> 16:30.206
He operates
in the disputed territories

16:30.337 --> 16:32.295
and pays his mercenaries
a fortune

16:32.382 --> 16:34.080
because their survival
is never guaranteed.

16:34.210 --> 16:36.256
All right, if their ship's
cloaked, maybe we can

16:36.386 --> 16:37.735
take out their jamming field.

16:37.909 --> 16:39.650
I have five capital ships

16:39.781 --> 16:41.000
waiting to jump to warp

16:41.130 --> 16:42.436
one light-year
from your position.

16:42.566 --> 16:46.048
There's no way a frontal assault
ends without bodies.

16:47.919 --> 16:49.704
There may be another way.

16:49.791 --> 16:54.056
Oh, but it sticks in my craw,
and I'm loath to even say it.

16:55.275 --> 16:57.755
The Furies have had
a few dust-ups

16:57.886 --> 16:59.540
with the Venari Ral
in Sector 119.

16:59.670 --> 17:03.848
The man responsible for getting
rid of them is our old friend.

17:04.980 --> 17:06.721
You're not actually suggesting

17:06.808 --> 17:08.027
we ask Nus Braka for help?

17:08.157 --> 17:09.680
Look, I fully recognize

17:09.811 --> 17:11.813
it's a wildly dangerous gamble.

17:11.943 --> 17:13.597
With less than five hours,
it's the best of bad options,

17:13.771 --> 17:15.077
- not good ones.
- Excuse me.

17:15.208 --> 17:17.079
The man tried
to take over our ship.

17:17.166 --> 17:18.907
I'm well aware, Captain.

17:19.995 --> 17:21.605
Starfleet intelligence indicates

17:21.779 --> 17:24.173
that Nus used some sort
of specialized weapon

17:24.347 --> 17:26.610
to clear the Furies
out of Sector 119.

17:26.741 --> 17:28.960
Braka might be willing to share
that information with us

17:29.135 --> 17:30.440
for a price.

17:30.571 --> 17:31.963
How do we even know where he is?

17:32.094 --> 17:34.009
Venari Ral activity
has increased

17:34.183 --> 17:35.924
in the outskirts
of Federation space.

17:36.098 --> 17:38.013
Intelligence suspects
he's nearby.

17:38.144 --> 17:42.583
Command is willing to suspend
his outstanding warrants

17:42.713 --> 17:44.411
for 72 hours
if he'll come to us.

17:44.585 --> 17:45.934
The enemy of our enemy.

17:46.021 --> 17:47.892
Is usually just another enemy.

17:48.023 --> 17:50.330
This one's an asshole.

17:52.158 --> 17:54.508
My cadets are trained
to deal with hostage situations.

17:54.595 --> 17:56.162
They know the rules.

17:56.249 --> 18:00.644
Tomov will keep them safe
until we find a viable solution.

18:18.575 --> 18:22.231
Who goes out
of the airlock first?

18:39.553 --> 18:41.468
You...

18:41.642 --> 18:44.427
You go first!

19:03.142 --> 19:05.796
Ah!

19:13.195 --> 19:15.632
Behind you! Look out behind you!

19:36.784 --> 19:38.481
Go! Go! Go!

19:38.612 --> 19:39.743
Get to the bridge now!

20:01.591 --> 20:03.680
The <i>Miyazaki</i> bridge has
emergency seals.

20:03.811 --> 20:05.204
Find the manual control!

20:05.378 --> 20:07.293
- Almost there.
<i>- Athena,</i> come in.

20:07.423 --> 20:08.424
Do you read me?

20:08.511 --> 20:10.774
Comms for our deltas are down.

20:15.649 --> 20:18.391
It's not that bad. I'm okay.

20:23.004 --> 20:24.571
Bridge is secured.

20:25.876 --> 20:27.356
This might scar.

20:27.487 --> 20:29.576
What's a soldier
without a few scars?

20:29.750 --> 20:32.796
Are you sure you are not
part Klingon?

20:35.625 --> 20:37.758
Why haven't they
transported us out yet?

20:37.888 --> 20:40.587
Or-or sent in a-a rescue team
or something?

20:40.674 --> 20:42.153
Because the Furies have
some tactical advantage

20:42.284 --> 20:44.982
that they cannot overcome
without risking our lives.

20:45.113 --> 20:47.158
- Or worst-case scenario--
- Don't.

20:47.289 --> 20:48.812
You heard that asshole earlier.

20:48.943 --> 20:50.336
He was gonna send
a message to <i>Athena</i>

20:50.466 --> 20:51.946
by chucking one of us
out of the airlock.

20:52.076 --> 20:54.165
- She's still there.
- Focus.

20:54.253 --> 20:56.255
This is what we train for.

20:57.865 --> 20:59.388
What happened back there?

20:59.519 --> 21:00.868
- Commander Tomov...
- Followed protocol.

21:00.998 --> 21:04.437
He sacrificed himself.
Without even thinking.

21:04.567 --> 21:07.004
A famous officer once said,

21:07.178 --> 21:10.312
"The needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few.

21:10.399 --> 21:11.922
Or the one."

21:20.931 --> 21:22.759
Move! Move, move!

21:22.846 --> 21:23.760
Clear the door!

21:24.979 --> 21:28.025
The emergency lockdown system
is not enough.

21:28.156 --> 21:31.725
The force field is off.
We must bring it back online.

21:31.855 --> 21:33.814
I have an idea.

21:36.730 --> 21:38.645
Computer...

21:38.819 --> 21:40.821
Can you hear me?

21:44.607 --> 21:45.739
The computer
has been nonfunctional

21:45.826 --> 21:47.088
for over a century.

21:47.218 --> 21:48.350
Its main power is off.
It is dead.

21:50.483 --> 21:52.398
No, not dead. Just...

21:52.572 --> 21:54.443
sleeping.

21:59.535 --> 22:01.450
The computer was able
to transfer itself

22:01.581 --> 22:03.626
to the few undamaged sections
of the system,

22:03.800 --> 22:05.585
but there's not enough space
left to download its data,

22:05.715 --> 22:07.456
so it divided itself,

22:07.587 --> 22:10.024
scattering pieces of its memory
into micro-pockets of code.

22:10.111 --> 22:11.939
Waiting for someone
to put it back together.

22:12.069 --> 22:14.202
A search through that many lines
of code would require years.

22:14.376 --> 22:16.117
For you.

22:28.825 --> 22:30.000
What is it, Number One?

22:30.131 --> 22:31.524
Something was just ejected

22:31.654 --> 22:33.569
from the <i>Miyazaki's</i> airlock,
Captain.

22:36.006 --> 22:37.443
Enhance.

22:51.544 --> 22:56.984
No, no. No, no.

22:59.465 --> 23:02.511
- Number One.
- They-they killed him.

23:02.685 --> 23:04.687
Medbay, now.

23:06.820 --> 23:08.604
I'm sorry.

23:08.735 --> 23:11.259
Cadets, back
to your training posts now.

23:11.433 --> 23:12.826
Let's go.

23:16.699 --> 23:18.614
Looks like it's Nus's lucky day.

23:18.745 --> 23:21.487
Let's hope the space pirate's
willing to parley.

23:49.602 --> 23:51.604
Do it.

23:53.127 --> 23:57.131
Oh, Nahla, Nahla,

23:57.218 --> 24:00.221
my space boo, my solar flame,

24:00.351 --> 24:02.441
my interstellar bestie!

24:02.571 --> 24:07.228
The hills are alive
with the sound of murder

24:07.358 --> 24:09.578
and I'm just,
I'm wanked, spanked

24:09.665 --> 24:12.712
and ready to be a diplomat.

24:12.799 --> 24:15.149
You look terrible.

24:23.200 --> 24:25.202
Oh.

24:26.508 --> 24:28.684
Mmm.

24:28.815 --> 24:33.123
Oh, that is a slippery
cat-piss aftertaste.

24:33.254 --> 24:35.735
Lovely.

24:38.607 --> 24:42.742
Oh. Overtones
of creamy flatworm.

24:42.872 --> 24:44.874
Wow!

24:45.005 --> 24:46.833
Okay, as you asked,

24:47.007 --> 24:48.835
I think that's every <i>añejo</i>

24:48.965 --> 24:51.533
certified by the Court
of Galactic Sommeliers

24:51.707 --> 24:55.189
that our replicators are
capable of creating, so...

24:55.363 --> 24:56.886
I appreciate it.

24:57.017 --> 24:58.627
It's quite a different bouquet

24:58.714 --> 25:02.239
when the Federation's deciding
to be hospitable, mm?

25:02.326 --> 25:05.329
That's, uh, that's
fancy tequila talk, you know.

25:05.460 --> 25:06.983
We appreciate you

25:07.114 --> 25:09.029
consulting with us
on our problem today.

25:09.159 --> 25:12.423
Problem?

25:12.554 --> 25:13.468
Problem?

25:14.817 --> 25:16.297
Yeah. Problem.

25:16.427 --> 25:17.820
"Sorry, Mom and Dad, but, uh,

25:17.907 --> 25:19.518
we left your kids
in the shredder."

25:19.648 --> 25:21.563
I understand you may have
identified a weapon

25:21.737 --> 25:22.825
to which the Furies
are vulnerable.

25:22.956 --> 25:26.916
Yeah, you know why
I'm so good at my job?

25:27.090 --> 25:28.744
- Humility?
- I know what I can do

25:28.875 --> 25:31.094
and what I can't do.

25:31.268 --> 25:36.230
And I can't control
those savages.

25:36.317 --> 25:39.233
Here's what you need
to get about the Furies:

25:39.363 --> 25:42.802
they hate being Furies.

25:42.932 --> 25:48.372
Yeah, they're in ball-clenching,
sphincter-puckering pain

25:48.503 --> 25:50.505
all the time.

25:50.679 --> 25:53.464
The only relief
they get is to just

25:53.552 --> 25:55.989
spooge it all over other people.

25:58.557 --> 26:01.124
You can't rely
on a species like that

26:01.255 --> 26:03.736
to put business first.

26:03.866 --> 26:06.042
You've built up a significant
smuggling operation

26:06.173 --> 26:07.827
in the T-Tauri System.

26:07.914 --> 26:10.699
Oh! You noticed, Admiral. Wow.

26:10.830 --> 26:13.049
We understand that your
operation is the only way

26:13.180 --> 26:14.616
some populations are able

26:14.790 --> 26:16.879
to obtain certain necessities
in that sector.

26:17.010 --> 26:19.665
Yeah. Well, you know,

26:19.795 --> 26:21.928
I don't want to see
anybody suffer.

26:23.059 --> 26:24.017
Here's the offer.

26:24.147 --> 26:25.801
- Ah.
- Tell us what you used

26:25.975 --> 26:27.716
against the Furies,
and we'll provide you

26:27.847 --> 26:29.239
with additional
humanitarian supplies.

26:29.370 --> 26:30.501
Now, personally,

26:30.632 --> 26:32.373
I would beat you
into the next galaxy

26:32.503 --> 26:34.201
for price gouging
and extortion--

26:34.331 --> 26:38.727
Oh... Name the place,
Admiral, please.

26:40.163 --> 26:41.948
See, this is the thing

26:42.078 --> 26:43.776
about being a good guy.

26:43.906 --> 26:46.996
You don't get
what you want.

26:47.170 --> 26:50.086
Now my dad was a bad guy

26:50.260 --> 26:53.960
and if he wanted, he got to beat
the shit out of me hourly.

26:54.090 --> 26:56.310
- Lucky man.
- Mm, yeah.

26:56.440 --> 26:58.312
I've got big shoes to fill.

26:58.399 --> 27:01.794
Anyway.

27:01.968 --> 27:03.970
Yeah, he always told me,

27:04.144 --> 27:05.711
he'd say,

27:05.841 --> 27:10.585
"Nustopher, if you want to be
a really excellent bad guy

27:10.716 --> 27:12.587
"so people truly hate your guts,

27:12.718 --> 27:15.590
"oh, control
the flow of traffic, boy.

27:15.764 --> 27:18.114
"You do that, you'll make more

27:18.245 --> 27:20.508
"selling crappy Raktajino
at rest stops

27:20.639 --> 27:23.163
"than you'd ever make
busying yourself

27:23.250 --> 27:24.860
with cargo or pirates."

27:25.861 --> 27:26.906
- Is there a point to this?
- Yes.

27:26.993 --> 27:29.038
There is a point, Admiral.

27:29.169 --> 27:30.387
Stick with me.

27:30.561 --> 27:33.042
Mm? You see, once upon a time

27:33.173 --> 27:37.177
I had my own
little piece of byway.

27:37.307 --> 27:41.355
A lovely stretch of space
between two unstable wormholes.

27:41.485 --> 27:45.054
Anybody who wanted to get
from Taygeta I to Taygeta IV

27:45.185 --> 27:48.014
had to go via <i>moi.</i>

27:48.188 --> 27:49.885
But not long ago,

27:50.016 --> 27:53.280
the Federation started supplying
dilithium to Taygeta I,

27:53.454 --> 27:56.718
and now the folks over there
can just bend space-time

27:56.849 --> 27:58.589
and go right around me.

27:58.720 --> 28:03.377
So I'm finding myself with a lot
of cold Raktajino on my hands.

28:03.507 --> 28:05.684
You want me to tell you
how to get rid

28:05.814 --> 28:08.643
of that batshit cannibal
out there?

28:08.774 --> 28:12.734
Stop supplying dilithium
to Taygeta I.

28:18.261 --> 28:20.002
I'll need to speak
with the president.

28:20.133 --> 28:22.309
Yeah. Soon.

28:22.439 --> 28:25.051
Yeah, I mean,
I'm not on the clock, but, uh,

28:25.181 --> 28:26.835
your cadets are about to be

28:26.966 --> 28:30.143
tender, tasty teen cutlets
in a few hours.

28:38.325 --> 28:41.850
Well, this is nice, right?

28:41.981 --> 28:45.898
Alone at last, huh?

28:47.508 --> 28:52.078
I have been thinking a lot
about you, Nahla.

28:55.646 --> 28:57.344
I haven't thought
about you at all.

28:57.474 --> 28:59.476
Maybe you should.

29:01.391 --> 29:03.916
You're a means to an end.

29:05.221 --> 29:07.876
You're at least smart enough
to know that.

29:10.879 --> 29:13.403
You know...

29:13.534 --> 29:17.756
You never talk to me,
do you, Nahla?

29:19.192 --> 29:23.544
Always talking at me.
Always talking through me.

29:23.718 --> 29:28.114
From that first day you sent me
off to prison, you were so...

29:28.288 --> 29:30.290
high and mighty.

29:32.814 --> 29:34.903
Why don't we just
see if we can't start over

29:35.034 --> 29:38.864
by having a conversation, hmm?

29:42.606 --> 29:45.261
A conversation is...

29:45.392 --> 29:48.699
a fair exchange of ideas
between equals.

29:48.830 --> 29:50.876
- Ah.
- And you're right.

29:53.052 --> 29:55.228
I don't see you
as either fair...

29:55.358 --> 29:57.796
or equal.

29:57.926 --> 29:59.885
And you certainly
don't set the terms.

30:00.015 --> 30:03.627
Oh, now, now, now. See,
now that's where you're wrong.

30:03.758 --> 30:05.934
The one who sets the terms is

30:06.065 --> 30:08.937
the one who doesn't care.

30:09.024 --> 30:12.332
I don't care
about your problems.

30:12.462 --> 30:16.162
I don't care about dead cadets.

30:17.337 --> 30:20.993
Your job is to figure out
what I do care about.

30:21.123 --> 30:24.779
So, speak to me with respect,

30:24.910 --> 30:26.955
and, uh...

30:32.961 --> 30:35.442
...sit your ass in that chair

30:35.572 --> 30:37.966
until I tell you to get up...

30:38.924 --> 30:40.577
...or I won't help you
find a way

30:40.708 --> 30:43.537
to get your kids off that ship.

30:43.667 --> 30:47.454
- What is it, cadets?
- See this debris displacement?

30:47.584 --> 30:48.977
This reading was taken

30:49.108 --> 30:50.631
just after the Blue Team's
shuttle launched.

30:50.805 --> 30:52.589
That has to be the Furies' ship
moving through the cloud here.

30:52.676 --> 30:56.071
So they're now somewhere between
this point and the <i>Miyazaki.</i>

30:56.202 --> 30:58.247
Which means their navigator
is constantly adjusting

30:58.378 --> 30:59.814
to remain undetected.

30:59.988 --> 31:01.772
Excellent work, cadets.

31:01.860 --> 31:04.036
- It was Genesis mostly.
- Commander Lura,

31:04.210 --> 31:05.689
we should use this to track
their most likely course

31:05.820 --> 31:06.821
through the field
since they arrived.

31:06.995 --> 31:09.041
An ingeniously simple approach.

31:09.171 --> 31:10.912
Uh, if the <i>Athena</i> starts moving
through the field

31:11.043 --> 31:12.609
looking for them,
they'll know we're onto them.

31:12.696 --> 31:15.003
But couldn't something
like a probe move undetected

31:15.177 --> 31:16.526
if it goes really slow?

31:16.613 --> 31:18.833
Like sub-impulse slow?

31:19.007 --> 31:20.835
I've created a sensor profile

31:20.922 --> 31:23.185
to scan for the size in debris
variation we'd need to target.

31:23.272 --> 31:24.839
Cadet Lythe,
I've read your file.

31:24.926 --> 31:27.973
You use your eyes
with the precision of a hengra.

31:28.103 --> 31:29.670
You will help me pilot
our space probe.

31:29.800 --> 31:32.934
Cadet Lythe, we'll start mapping
the safest route for that probe.

31:33.021 --> 31:34.501
Reymi, you can give us a hand.

31:34.675 --> 31:36.242
- Let's find that ship.
- Yes, sir.

31:43.031 --> 31:44.424
Can't you go faster?

31:44.554 --> 31:46.078
Any faster and I'll melt

31:46.165 --> 31:47.818
whatever circuits
the computer has left!

31:49.255 --> 31:50.473
Speaking of melting!

32:23.115 --> 32:24.203
It doesn't know
that they're gone.

32:24.333 --> 32:25.726
So, how do we convince it?

32:26.945 --> 32:28.642
The comics may be useful.

Stay with me.
You're good, you're good.

33:27.135 --> 33:28.963
- You're good.
- I just connected to Caleb.

33:29.137 --> 33:31.183
I think they're
gonna die over there.

33:31.270 --> 33:34.403
I can feel it, Ocam,
they don't know what to do.

33:34.577 --> 33:38.581
- They don't know what to do.
- Okay. You're okay, you're okay.

33:44.370 --> 33:48.113
Ah, you know,
I don't know how you do it.

33:48.243 --> 33:50.332
Look after all these kids

33:50.463 --> 33:53.161
when you've lost a kid yourself.

33:54.380 --> 33:59.211
That's pretty obvious,
even for a lowlife like you.

33:59.341 --> 34:01.952
- Time heals all, Braka.
- Yeah, but...

34:02.083 --> 34:06.000
you don't exactly
experience time, do you?

34:06.131 --> 34:08.785
I mean, not like the rest of us.

34:08.916 --> 34:11.788
Yeah, I've done my homework,
Chancellor.

34:11.919 --> 34:15.053
Yeah, I, uh, I read

34:15.183 --> 34:20.145
that since Lanthanites
essentially live forever...

34:22.234 --> 34:26.325
...they can lose sight
of when things begin and end.

34:34.333 --> 34:37.814
Did your dad teach you
your native language?

34:37.901 --> 34:39.599
Because you don't even have
finality words

34:39.773 --> 34:41.383
like "end" and "done."

34:41.514 --> 34:43.646
I'm only half-Lanthanite.

34:43.777 --> 34:46.562
Still, I mean, uh,

34:46.649 --> 34:48.564
without the beginnings
and ends of things,

34:48.651 --> 34:50.436
you could get caught
in a trauma loop

34:50.566 --> 34:53.091
that just goes on and on
and on forever.

34:53.221 --> 34:55.093
Right?
I mean, that's terrifying.

34:55.223 --> 34:58.226
That'll keep you up nights.
Right?

34:58.357 --> 35:00.924
Smart to become a teacher,
so you can see

35:01.055 --> 35:03.623
the beginnings and ends
for all these kids.

35:09.672 --> 35:13.111
Okay. Okay.

35:14.112 --> 35:16.984
Okay. "Cards on the table" time.

35:18.420 --> 35:21.423
You know we're scared
of you, right?

35:21.554 --> 35:24.948
Nahla Ake, the captain
who had the sand

35:25.123 --> 35:28.604
to sacrifice her own son
to save her ship?

35:28.691 --> 35:33.218
Oh, yeah. We Venari Ral know
all about that.

35:33.348 --> 35:35.872
We are in awe of that.

35:39.311 --> 35:42.140
How you got the SOS
when your boy's ship went down,

35:42.270 --> 35:46.666
but you...
you stayed with your crew.

35:49.364 --> 35:52.889
And, uh, he was on a vessel
like the <i>Miyazaki,</i> right?

35:54.282 --> 35:58.286
And like the <i>Miyazaki,</i>
it went down piece by piece,

35:58.417 --> 36:01.811
system failure
by system failure.

36:05.859 --> 36:10.255
I mean, does staring at that
stir it all up again for you?

36:12.561 --> 36:15.477
'Cause in one lifetime,
your son could've lived

36:15.608 --> 36:19.873
the lifetimes of everyone
aboard your ship combined.

36:20.003 --> 36:21.657
And if you'd jumped ship,

36:21.744 --> 36:23.572
maybe you could've saved him,

36:23.703 --> 36:27.707
maybe the two of you could've
shared that lifetime together.

36:29.361 --> 36:32.364
I mean, we don't do
that kind of sacrifice.

36:32.494 --> 36:34.061
No, ma'am.

36:34.148 --> 36:35.541
Or duty.

36:37.107 --> 36:40.154
Or whatever you tell yourself
when you can't sleep

36:40.285 --> 36:42.765
in an endless, endless night.

36:43.766 --> 36:48.728
Oh, and now you've got
our mutual friend Caleb Mir.

36:48.858 --> 36:52.819
You know, alas, another child
you should've saved

36:52.949 --> 36:55.213
a long time ago, but once again,

36:55.343 --> 36:58.259
you chose
some strange duty instead.

37:02.742 --> 37:04.439
Oh, no.

37:06.398 --> 37:09.227
He's on the <i>Miyazaki,</i> isn't he?

37:09.357 --> 37:11.272
With the cannibals.

37:13.753 --> 37:15.320
Oh, no.

37:15.450 --> 37:17.365
Ah, those crazy bastards

37:17.539 --> 37:20.586
don't quit until
they taste blood.

37:20.716 --> 37:24.416
I've seen them pick a carcass
clean, asshole and all.

37:24.590 --> 37:27.288
And I'm talking
about a Klingon carcass.

37:27.419 --> 37:29.595
Not to mention
the constant drain on my time,

37:29.769 --> 37:32.032
my money, my firepower.

37:32.162 --> 37:36.428
Oh, my, that-that is
some cosmic poetry right there!

37:36.558 --> 37:39.300
What if he dies
on that ship today?

37:39.474 --> 37:41.433
How will you know
if he forgives you?

37:41.607 --> 37:44.044
And if you never know,
doesn't that mean

37:44.174 --> 37:47.177
he dies for you
over and over again,

37:47.308 --> 37:49.658
every day, forever?

37:51.399 --> 37:53.183
No, I am not lying
when I tell you

37:53.358 --> 37:56.622
I'm honestly
scared for you, babe.

37:57.710 --> 37:59.189
<i>Captain Ake, your presence</i>

37:59.277 --> 38:00.582
<i>is required on the bridge.</i>

38:02.628 --> 38:03.890
Yeah, run on back.

38:04.064 --> 38:06.980
You've got all the time
in the world!

38:13.334 --> 38:15.162
The cadets on the <i>Miyazaki</i>
locked themselves on the bridge.

38:15.293 --> 38:17.207
They're safe, but not for long.

38:17.338 --> 38:19.209
Have they reestablished contact?

38:19.384 --> 38:22.387
No. I can see them.

38:24.998 --> 38:26.652
Through Caleb.

38:26.782 --> 38:28.871
I can get to him through
whatever's blocking us.

38:29.002 --> 38:30.569
Cadet Sadal requires

38:30.699 --> 38:33.485
a psilosynine dampening implant
for emotional control.

38:33.615 --> 38:35.878
Permission to speak freely, sir?

38:36.009 --> 38:37.750
That file's crazy old,
it's not her whole story.

38:37.880 --> 38:39.142
It's not even accurate.

38:39.273 --> 38:41.580
Look, Betazoids are Betazoids.

38:41.710 --> 38:43.625
You know, we sense stuff.

38:43.756 --> 38:46.236
But Tarima's...

38:46.324 --> 38:48.978
She's special. She's more.

38:49.065 --> 38:51.241
When she feels a strong
connection to someone,

38:51.416 --> 38:52.765
she can go in.

38:52.939 --> 38:54.201
But when, when--

38:54.375 --> 38:55.942
When I was little, I...

38:56.029 --> 38:57.683
I couldn't control it.

38:57.857 --> 38:59.511
I couldn't...

39:00.381 --> 39:01.339
...regulate.

39:01.426 --> 39:03.123
That was before the implant.

39:03.253 --> 39:06.779
If I got angry or hurt,
I could...

39:06.909 --> 39:08.476
I did damage.

39:08.607 --> 39:10.130
It was an accident.

39:10.260 --> 39:12.175
I understand.

39:13.916 --> 39:15.527
It was Dad.

39:15.657 --> 39:19.095
She got angry and blew out
his auditory cortex.

39:19.226 --> 39:21.271
Honestly, like, I think
she kind of did him a favor,

39:21.402 --> 39:23.578
'cause I was trying to teach
myself the trumpet that week,

39:23.665 --> 39:25.493
and our house was--

39:28.061 --> 39:30.193
I'm so sorry.

39:30.280 --> 39:31.673
I'm more in control now.

39:31.804 --> 39:34.110
I can connect to Caleb again
and talk to him.

39:34.241 --> 39:35.938
If something happens to him,

39:36.025 --> 39:37.723
if something happens to any
of them, and I could've helped--

39:37.853 --> 39:39.377
The power we'd be asking you
to use,

39:39.507 --> 39:40.900
the amount of psilosynine
flooding your system,

39:41.074 --> 39:43.381
you could go into shock.
Or worse.

39:43.511 --> 39:45.731
One of the things
the War College has taught me,

39:45.861 --> 39:49.430
that you taught me,
is to see the task clearly.

39:50.823 --> 39:53.042
I can see what I have to do,

39:53.173 --> 39:56.263
and I can see I'm the only one
on this ship who can do it.

39:58.004 --> 39:59.440
Let me try.

40:03.662 --> 40:05.707
Twice in past exercises,

40:05.838 --> 40:07.535
our cadets have tried
to restore power on <i>Miyazaki</i>

40:07.622 --> 40:09.363
by reactivating
the singularity drive.

40:09.494 --> 40:11.409
The drive that caused
catastrophic failures

40:11.539 --> 40:12.758
the last time it was turned on.

40:12.888 --> 40:14.324
Last semester,
my cadets installed

40:14.455 --> 40:15.978
a program to safely restart it,

40:16.109 --> 40:17.197
but failed for lack of time.

40:17.284 --> 40:18.764
If Sadal can tell the cadets

40:18.894 --> 40:20.505
to restore the drive,
even briefly,

40:20.592 --> 40:22.158
the gravimetric
displacement caused

40:22.289 --> 40:24.073
by <i>Miyazaki's</i> deflector
would disrupt

40:24.204 --> 40:26.641
the jamming field long enough
for us to transport them out.

40:26.772 --> 40:28.730
Sir, from what I
could see, Caleb and the others

40:28.817 --> 40:31.864
might not be able to get
to Engineering... at all.

40:35.998 --> 40:37.739
Sam, we're out of time!

40:37.870 --> 40:39.567
- Almost there.
<i>- The ship's computer</i>

40:39.654 --> 40:41.743
<i>did everything it could
to save them.</i>

40:41.830 --> 40:43.528
<i>The crew did not survive.</i>

40:43.702 --> 40:45.443
<i>The crew did not survive.</i>

40:45.617 --> 40:48.097
I'm sorry. We're your new crew.
Now, do you understand?

40:48.184 --> 40:50.665
<i>The crew did not survive.</i>

40:53.494 --> 40:55.975
Down, down, down!

40:57.411 --> 40:59.152
We are your new crew!

40:59.239 --> 41:00.893
- Do you understand?!
- Come on, come on, come on.

41:01.023 --> 41:02.808
Move, move, move!

41:02.938 --> 41:04.157
Computer, activate force field
and seal that door!

41:06.202 --> 41:09.249
<i>Confirmed.
Activating force field.</i>

41:12.208 --> 41:14.863
<i>You are the new crew of
the</i> Miyazaki.

41:14.994 --> 41:17.344
<i>Breach sealed.
Awaiting further commands.</i>

41:36.232 --> 41:40.149
They will find another way in.

41:52.510 --> 41:54.599
What happened with Nus?

41:55.687 --> 41:58.516
The expected
pedestrian mind games,

41:58.603 --> 42:00.039
but he slipped up.

42:00.213 --> 42:02.607
I knew he would
if I sat there long enough.

42:02.737 --> 42:05.174
The Furies won't
leave him alone.

42:05.261 --> 42:07.437
He knows they'll make
his life miserable.

42:07.568 --> 42:10.049
He needs us as much
as we need him.

42:13.618 --> 42:14.793
But...

42:14.967 --> 42:17.012
But?

42:17.143 --> 42:20.015
Nus is a devious guy.

42:20.146 --> 42:22.540
This is...

42:22.627 --> 42:24.237
relatively straightforward.

42:24.411 --> 42:25.630
Too straightforward.

42:25.760 --> 42:28.981
I'm worried
we're missing something.

42:30.460 --> 42:32.288
This is the message
to Blue Team.

42:32.419 --> 42:34.160
Once you go under,
I'll be monitoring you

42:34.290 --> 42:36.118
and will reactivate
your inhibitor

42:36.249 --> 42:37.598
at any sign of danger.

42:37.729 --> 42:39.252
But how will I know when to--?

42:39.382 --> 42:40.819
You'll be able to hear my voice

42:40.949 --> 42:42.777
and I will tell you
when to give the order.

42:48.435 --> 42:50.959
In writing:
the Federation agrees

42:51.090 --> 42:54.484
to all your dilithium
distribution crap in Taygeta I.

42:54.615 --> 42:56.008
It's everything you asked for.

42:56.138 --> 42:57.923
There's a shuttle waiting
to fly you away

42:58.053 --> 42:59.925
once you give us what we need.

43:00.055 --> 43:02.231
Now, uh, you wouldn't respect me
if I didn't ask

43:02.318 --> 43:04.190
for a little sweetener,
am I right?

43:04.320 --> 43:05.583
There are incentives there

43:05.713 --> 43:06.888
for every hostage
you manage to free.

43:07.019 --> 43:09.761
- Right, but--
- But you have a problem.

43:09.891 --> 43:11.806
I'm sorry. I have a problem?

43:11.937 --> 43:14.113
Yeah.

43:14.243 --> 43:15.636
You're scared.

43:15.723 --> 43:17.116
Ha!

43:17.246 --> 43:18.813
Whatever you did to get
the Furies off your back

43:18.944 --> 43:21.773
in Sector 119 won't keep them
off your back.

43:21.903 --> 43:23.688
They're crazier than you are,

43:23.818 --> 43:26.342
which I didn't think
was possible.

43:26.473 --> 43:28.736
I have full control
of Sector 119.

43:28.910 --> 43:31.173
Bullshit. You're here because
you're a cringing

43:31.347 --> 43:33.567
little crybaby coward
trying to get the Federation

43:33.698 --> 43:35.830
to keep a playground bully away.

43:35.917 --> 43:37.310
Whoa. Hey. What--?

43:37.440 --> 43:41.009
Cowards always have
multiple agendas,

43:41.140 --> 43:43.925
because deep down,
they know they're failures.

43:45.144 --> 43:47.581
If I was a failure, I'd be dead.

43:47.712 --> 43:49.539
We should all be so lucky.

43:49.714 --> 43:52.847
Now, we can get rid
of the maniacs,

43:52.978 --> 43:55.023
or we can let them eat your
lunch until the end of time.

43:55.154 --> 43:57.243
Don't be a dick.

43:57.373 --> 43:59.506
Tell me how to stop the Furies,
tell me what I need to know...

43:59.637 --> 44:01.987
- Hey! Oh!
- ...or get the hell off my ship.

44:02.161 --> 44:03.292
O-Okay! Oh!

44:03.423 --> 44:06.426
Okay!

44:06.513 --> 44:09.951
- They're bats?
- Part lynar.

44:10.082 --> 44:12.301
Their inner ears are
particularly sensitive

44:12.475 --> 44:14.303
to high sonic frequencies.

44:14.390 --> 44:17.306
Nus used a sonic weapon
to clear them out of Sector 119.

44:20.005 --> 44:24.357
Starbase J19-Alpha,
it's an experimental platform

44:24.444 --> 44:26.272
for new weapon systems
not far from here.

44:26.402 --> 44:27.926
They have
an Intrepid-class ship,

44:28.056 --> 44:29.667
the <i>Sargasso,</i>
that should be able to make

44:29.797 --> 44:31.494
the necessary
modifications en route

44:31.625 --> 44:32.757
to emit a sonic disruption beam.

44:32.887 --> 44:34.367
How long before
they could arrive?

44:34.541 --> 44:36.021
Within a half hour.

44:36.151 --> 44:37.979
So, assuming we find
that cloaked ship by then,

44:38.066 --> 44:40.155
<i>Sargasso</i> comes in hot,
hits them with the sonic weapon.

44:40.286 --> 44:42.244
When the cloak falls,
it drops the jamming field,

44:42.375 --> 44:44.377
and we only have
a few precious seconds

44:44.507 --> 44:46.379
to transport the cadets out

44:46.466 --> 44:48.381
before the Furies know
what's happening.

44:48.511 --> 44:50.949
As a backup, we use Tarima Sadal
to instruct the cadets to bring

44:51.079 --> 44:52.472
the singularity drive online.

44:52.602 --> 44:54.735
That breaks the field,
and we grab them.

44:54.866 --> 44:57.825
Lura, how we doing
on those coordinates?

44:57.956 --> 45:00.872
Almost there. Braka has
departed with the shuttle.

45:01.046 --> 45:03.831
We'll track his impulse
signature as long as possible.

45:03.962 --> 45:06.225
Understood. Monitor his comms
while you're at it.

45:06.355 --> 45:08.357
<i>Already done.</i>

45:08.488 --> 45:10.795
Once we start this train,
we can't stop it.

45:10.925 --> 45:14.189
These are our cadets' lives.

45:18.367 --> 45:21.022
Doctor. Send her in.

45:26.245 --> 45:27.725
Here we go.

45:55.927 --> 45:57.755
They're trying to disable
the force field!

46:03.499 --> 46:04.979
<i>Caleb?</i>

46:06.241 --> 46:07.982
<i>Caleb.</i>

46:10.158 --> 46:11.812
<i>It's okay.</i>

46:13.683 --> 46:15.294
I'm here.

46:19.124 --> 46:21.343
I didn't mean to make you
feel like a freak.

46:22.475 --> 46:24.607
I've just never had someone
see that side of me before.

46:24.694 --> 46:27.436
I know. Same.

46:30.265 --> 46:33.312
- Am I about to die?
- No.

46:33.442 --> 46:36.532
But you need to bring the
singularity drive back online.

46:36.663 --> 46:38.665
It's the only way
we can beam you out of here.

46:38.752 --> 46:40.449
That's impossible.
It's in Main Engineering.

46:40.580 --> 46:42.321
Kelrec's convinced Captain Chi
would have been able

46:42.495 --> 46:43.975
to access the drive
from the bridge.

46:44.105 --> 46:47.108
Once you do, tell B'Avi
to run Tiny Fireflies,

46:47.239 --> 46:49.067
but don't activate the drive
until I give the order.

46:49.197 --> 46:52.026
Tiny Fireflies.
That's the name of the program.

46:52.113 --> 46:53.811
Is Tiny Fireflies the final name

46:53.941 --> 46:55.508
or are you accepting
alternatives?

46:57.075 --> 46:59.338
Maybe not the best time
to workshop this?

47:02.994 --> 47:05.170
Find that remote access
to the drive. Hurry!

47:06.562 --> 47:07.955
Computer, I need access

47:08.042 --> 47:10.044
to Main Engineering
on the viewscreen now.

47:10.218 --> 47:11.524
<i>Sensors are damaged.
I will have to reroute.</i>

47:11.698 --> 47:13.613
I don't care! Do it! Do it now!

47:13.787 --> 47:15.049
<i>Probe search of location grid</i>

47:15.180 --> 47:17.747
<i>Sector 14 is complete,
Cadet Lythe.</i>

47:17.878 --> 47:19.706
<i>No enemy vessels detected.</i>

47:19.837 --> 47:21.708
<i>Moving to Sector 15 now.</i>

47:21.839 --> 47:24.145
It's like looking
for a needle in a haystack

47:24.276 --> 47:25.494
made of needles.

47:25.625 --> 47:28.671
Maintain focus.

47:28.802 --> 47:31.892
Just look for debris variation
greater than 60%.

47:31.979 --> 47:33.894
You've got this, Cadet.

47:43.773 --> 47:46.733
Computer, Main Engineering
on the viewscreen.

47:46.820 --> 47:48.213
Come on, come on, come on.

47:48.387 --> 47:51.390
<i>Main Engineering
access in progress.</i>

47:53.740 --> 47:55.785
Why did they stop?

47:55.873 --> 47:57.875
Maybe they found
a better way in.

47:59.702 --> 48:02.140
<i>Main Engineering
access in progress.</i>

48:09.364 --> 48:11.714
<i>Main Engineering
access in progress.</i>

48:11.845 --> 48:13.238
What was that?

48:13.412 --> 48:15.544
Tarima's sending us
instructions from <i>Athena.</i>

48:16.937 --> 48:18.330
<i>She's...</i>

48:19.418 --> 48:20.854
<i>...in my head.</i>

48:21.028 --> 48:23.988
- You and her have been...?
- Yeah.

48:24.118 --> 48:26.077
And this is exactly how
I wanted to tell you, too.

48:26.207 --> 48:28.340
<i>Main Engineering
access complete.</i>

48:28.470 --> 48:30.559
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey. Look.

48:30.646 --> 48:34.520
<i>Welcome to the Main Engineering
access portal.</i>

48:34.650 --> 48:38.611
The one and only
singularity drive.

48:41.788 --> 48:44.834
B'Avi, Tiny Fireflies.

48:46.662 --> 48:48.838
Those words mean
anything to you?

48:50.753 --> 48:52.233
They do.

48:52.407 --> 48:54.018
<i>No enemy vessels detected.</i>

48:54.148 --> 48:57.282
<i>- Moving to Sector 16.</i>
- Come on, come on.

48:57.412 --> 48:59.806
- Where are you?
<i>- Scanning.</i>

49:04.593 --> 49:05.943
<i>Scanning.</i>

49:07.205 --> 49:12.471
Debris variation
in grid 117 at... 70%.

49:12.601 --> 49:14.647
Gotcha, you bastard.

49:14.777 --> 49:16.518
Excellent work, Cadet Lythe.

49:16.692 --> 49:18.433
<i>Sargasso</i> will arrive
at any moment.

49:19.826 --> 49:21.697
The Doctor confirms Sadal
communicated with Blue Team.

49:21.828 --> 49:23.743
We're standing by
to transport them aboard

49:23.873 --> 49:25.614
the moment
that jamming field drops.

49:26.702 --> 49:28.835
Something's not right.

49:28.966 --> 49:31.446
What do you know
about J19-Alpha?

49:33.231 --> 49:34.884
The space station
<i>Sargasso</i> was docked at.

49:34.972 --> 49:36.756
What kind of technology
are they testing there?

49:36.843 --> 49:39.628
The highly classified kind.

49:43.154 --> 49:44.851
<i>USS</i> Sargasso <i>here.</i>

49:44.938 --> 49:46.896
<i>Deflector online,
target acquired.</i>

49:47.071 --> 49:48.898
<i>Transmission in two minutes.</i>

49:49.073 --> 49:50.726
Copy, <i>Sargasso.</i> Go get them.

49:50.900 --> 49:52.859
Transporters, stand by
to lock onto our kids.

49:52.990 --> 49:54.121
Aye, Captain.

49:58.169 --> 49:59.170
Flow regulators are green,

49:59.300 --> 50:00.649
but field strength
is fluctuating.

50:00.736 --> 50:02.216
Those are the safeties
we installed.

50:02.347 --> 50:03.739
Even then, the odds
of successfully cold-starting

50:03.870 --> 50:05.393
a singularity drive
are 80-to-one.

50:05.524 --> 50:07.091
Didn't Chi always defy the odds?

50:08.266 --> 50:09.658
You read the comics?

50:09.832 --> 50:11.356
Boredom.

50:15.882 --> 50:17.405
<i>Caleb.</i>

50:18.624 --> 50:20.539
Wait for my signal.

50:22.889 --> 50:23.846
I'll tell you when.

50:25.370 --> 50:27.459
<i>Sargasso's</i> deflector will
reach maximum power

50:27.633 --> 50:29.156
in 30 seconds.

50:29.330 --> 50:31.550
No tactical response
from the Furies' vessel yet.

50:31.680 --> 50:34.857
Captain, we've intercepted a
transmission from Nus's shuttle.

50:34.988 --> 50:37.121
It's encrypted,
but it was sent to that ship.

50:37.251 --> 50:39.123
Get me that decryption.

50:40.994 --> 50:43.518
Furies' vessel decloaking.

50:52.701 --> 50:55.226
That isn't a Furies' vessel.
It's Venari Ral!

50:55.400 --> 50:57.097
They were working together
the whole time.

50:57.228 --> 50:59.012
Ah, that son of a bitch!

50:59.143 --> 51:00.927
Maximum power
to forward shields.

51:01.058 --> 51:02.972
Evasive maneuvers.

51:13.200 --> 51:14.680
Direct hit!

51:14.810 --> 51:17.509
The <i>Sargasso</i> has been
completely disabled.

51:17.596 --> 51:18.858
Oh, gods.

51:18.988 --> 51:20.120
I have the encrypted message.

51:20.207 --> 51:21.774
- No audio.
- Read it!

51:23.384 --> 51:25.125
"They took the bait.

51:28.215 --> 51:29.260
Bon appétit."

51:30.217 --> 51:32.959
Doctor, tell Sadal
to start the drive.

51:33.090 --> 51:35.788
Lura, target that ship
with everything we've got!

51:41.620 --> 51:42.925
Now, Caleb.

51:43.056 --> 51:44.318
B'Avi, go!

51:50.890 --> 51:52.326
It is working.

52:01.683 --> 52:04.904
Tiny fireflies.

52:11.563 --> 52:13.782
B'Avi...

52:13.956 --> 52:15.828
They're through.

52:15.915 --> 52:17.134
Jamming field is down!

52:17.308 --> 52:19.310
Lura, get the cadets out now!

52:20.137 --> 52:21.399
Move.

52:23.444 --> 52:25.359
They're through the field!
They're through!

52:33.324 --> 52:35.064
Transporter control reengaged.

52:35.152 --> 52:36.283
Trying to lock onto the cadets.

52:36.457 --> 52:38.285
There is too much distortion.

52:39.852 --> 52:41.723
Sam, watch out!

52:41.854 --> 52:43.682
Sam!

52:43.812 --> 52:45.379
What the hell happened?

52:45.510 --> 52:47.251
She-she ripped it out
before I could stop her.

53:10.535 --> 53:12.276
Jamming field is restabilizing.

53:12.406 --> 53:13.842
I still cannot get a lock.

53:26.028 --> 53:28.292
No!

53:46.527 --> 53:49.443
Send me back.
What happened?!

53:50.314 --> 53:51.532
It's over.

53:51.663 --> 53:53.708
I don't...

53:53.882 --> 53:55.884
Why are you bleeding?

53:56.015 --> 53:59.714
There's a field of flowers
where I grew up.

53:59.801 --> 54:02.978
I used to hide there
when I was afraid.

54:03.109 --> 54:05.154
Of what?

54:06.939 --> 54:09.246
Me.

54:14.555 --> 54:16.557
Tarima, come here.

54:16.731 --> 54:18.124
Don't.

54:18.255 --> 54:20.213
Look, I know you won't want
to be with me

54:20.387 --> 54:23.651
after this, but at least
you'll be alive, okay?

54:23.782 --> 54:26.001
What are you talking about?

55:15.181 --> 55:17.314
No, no. No, no, no, no.

55:17.401 --> 55:19.533
No, no.
B'Avi, wake up.

55:19.664 --> 55:20.969
B'Avi, please.

55:22.667 --> 55:27.062
Jay-Den, help me.

55:27.193 --> 55:30.109
Jay-Den, please help me.

55:30.239 --> 55:32.894
Open your eyes, B'Avi. Please.

55:45.080 --> 55:48.257
You were right. He played us.

55:49.258 --> 55:54.481
As soon as the <i>Sargasso</i>
departed J19-Alpha,

55:54.612 --> 55:59.617
six Venari Ral ships
decloaked and attacked.

56:03.011 --> 56:06.145
Their distress call didn't reach
headquarters right away.

56:08.452 --> 56:10.671
Its defenses held for 18 minutes

56:10.802 --> 56:13.979
before the station
was boarded and ransacked.

56:16.329 --> 56:19.245
He knew we'd call in
the <i>Sargasso.</i>

56:20.899 --> 56:23.597
This was about him
getting on that station.

56:28.385 --> 56:30.691
And we handed it to him.

56:30.822 --> 56:31.866
We don't have final numbers

56:32.040 --> 56:33.564
on the deceased yet.

56:33.694 --> 56:37.132
<i>Discovery's</i> still
collecting escape pods.

56:37.263 --> 56:39.483
It'll be weeks
before we find out

56:39.613 --> 56:42.268
what exactly he was after
on that station.

56:42.355 --> 56:44.879
The president's called
for an emergency meeting

56:44.966 --> 56:47.012
of the Security Council.

56:47.142 --> 56:49.318
Nus Braka is about to become

56:49.449 --> 56:52.713
the most wanted man
in the quadrant.

56:52.844 --> 56:54.411
And no one sleeps

56:54.541 --> 56:57.326
until we hunt him down
and end him.

57:02.114 --> 57:03.985
Go back to San Francisco.

57:04.159 --> 57:05.465
Trauma counselors
will be standing by

57:05.596 --> 57:07.336
for you and your cadets.

57:16.389 --> 57:18.347
This was my call, Nahla.

57:18.478 --> 57:20.219
Not yours.

57:20.393 --> 57:22.917
- He sprung a trap--
- Please.

57:24.919 --> 57:26.617
Don't.

57:30.969 --> 57:32.623
<i>Incoming message.</i>

57:32.753 --> 57:34.712
<i>Source unknown.</i>

57:37.758 --> 57:42.154
Feel free to trace
this transmission.

57:42.328 --> 57:44.112
It'll give you something to do

57:44.199 --> 57:49.553
while your Federation friends
count body bags.

57:58.387 --> 58:01.869
<i>I want you to be okay, Nahla,</i>

58:01.956 --> 58:04.698
<i>I really do.</i>

58:04.829 --> 58:10.051
<i>Because hating you
made me better at my job.</i>

58:10.182 --> 58:15.274
<i>It's such a petty teenage thing
to say, but it's true.</i>

58:17.450 --> 58:19.147
I hate you.

58:20.322 --> 58:22.890
Beyond the obvious reasons,
I hate you

58:23.064 --> 58:26.372
because you think your way
of life is better than mine.

58:27.808 --> 58:30.550
She'll need a specialist,
but she'll be okay.

58:30.681 --> 58:32.247
<i>And that gives you the right</i>

58:32.378 --> 58:34.598
<i>to infect the entire universe</i>

58:34.728 --> 58:37.383
<i>with the Federation's
own special strain</i>

58:37.557 --> 58:40.691
<i>of bureaucratic chlamydia.</i>

58:43.694 --> 58:46.653
<i>And anyone who dares
disagree with you is--</i>

58:46.827 --> 58:48.960
<i>your word-- "a lowlife,"</i>

58:49.090 --> 58:50.875
<i>and beneath contempt.</i>

58:52.311 --> 58:55.444
How is she?

58:55.619 --> 58:57.098
Her vitals are stable,

58:57.272 --> 58:58.622
but we don't know
how long she'll be in a coma.

59:00.580 --> 59:01.973
<i>So you lost here today</i>

59:02.060 --> 59:04.410
<i>because I see you,</i>

59:04.541 --> 59:06.194
Nahla.

59:06.325 --> 59:08.719
I see you.

59:09.720 --> 59:12.157
Fortunately, you know,
all that hate

59:12.287 --> 59:15.421
opened doors in my mind.

59:15.552 --> 59:18.816
And now I know
what I'm truly capable of.

59:18.946 --> 59:20.905
I know!

59:26.780 --> 59:28.260
<i>You know, it's funny...</i>

59:28.434 --> 59:30.784
I was thinking,

59:30.915 --> 59:34.571
you sent your kid
to his death to save many.

59:35.572 --> 59:37.791
But this is
kind of the opposite, right?

59:37.922 --> 59:41.490
<i>You got your kid back
and everyone else died!</i>

59:41.621 --> 59:46.278
How's that for a trauma loop?

59:46.365 --> 59:48.846
My gift to you.

59:49.586 --> 59:52.110
But wait. There's more.

59:52.284 --> 59:54.242
I still owe you something.

59:54.373 --> 59:59.030
And believe me, it is coming
with a big red bow.

59:59.160 --> 01:00:01.989
A special gift,

01:00:02.076 --> 01:00:03.904
just for you.

01:00:05.166 --> 01:00:08.039
You have no idea
what a difference

01:00:08.126 --> 01:00:10.389
you've made in my life, Nahla.

01:00:10.476 --> 01:00:12.565
I want to thank you.

01:00:13.871 --> 01:00:18.615
'Cause you're the best teacher
I ever had.

01:00:33.847 --> 01:00:38.939
