Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

U na: No matter how many stars there are in the sky,

no matter how many galaxies swirl beyond our own...

Terminal jockey: Tracking locked onto inbound ufo.

It appeared out of nowhere.

Una: No matter what the mathematical probabilities

or the number of times we say we are not alone in the universe...

Terminal jockey: It's closing in, but slowing down.

Our first visit from the stars is always

the province of children's stories and science fiction.

Talk to me.

Terminal jockey: Telemetry is confirmed. Ufo is not of planetary origin.

It's from outer space.

Una: First contact with aliens always lives squarely in the impossible.

Getting stable visual.

Una: First contact is just a dream...

- Oh, man. - Until one day it isn't.

What is that?

Klaatu: The universe grows smaller every day.

And the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere,

can no longer be tolerated.

There must be security for all

oi” no one is secure.

Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom.

- (Communicator chirping) - Except for the freedom

to act irresponsibly.

Your ancestors knew this.

We of the other planets have long accepted this principle.

We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets

and for the complete...

Really?

Again?

Come on, it's a classic.

Mmm. More coffee, captain batel?

Mmm. Don't mind if I do, captain pike.

Still haven't decided?

Mmm. Enterprise is in spacedock for another week.

That's ages.

Pancakes were good.

- Phone's ringing again. - Yep.

You ever gonna answer it?

So, when do you ship out?

Chris.

We can keep doing this, but we can also talk about it.

Talk about what?

Whatever it is you're so busy not talking about.

Whatever happened out there.

Whatever's got you questioning your return to command.

Whatever's got you questioning...

Yes?

Everything.

It's classified.

I've got deeper security clearance than you do.

Not for this.

I ship out tomorrow at 0600.

- Back in a month. - Hey...

I might still be here.

So give me a call, we'll get together.

That'd be nice. I'd like that.

But I really hope you're not.

You've got better places to be.

You spooked my horse.

Apologies.

You weren't answering your communicator.

With all due respect, admiral, what the hell do you want?

I have a first contact scenario that may have gone bad.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not my problem.

The officer in command is someone I trust...

You're not hearing me, Bob.

We both agreed that I'd have until enterprise left spacedock

- before deciding whether or not... - But then we lost contact

- with her ship. - I'm not sure what

- this has to do with... - Here's her last transmission.

We haven't heard from her since.

First contact is just a dream.

Until one day it isn't.

I suspect a new world will be joining the federation soon.

Your first officer doesn't do downtime well, Chris.

Mine used to be a lot like that.

I'm pulling enterprise out of spacedock.

She's still on scheduled maintenance.

She can skip the redundant systems checks.

I want her crewed up and ready to fly by 1800.

Send someone else.

You don't want me in command of that ship.

You're getting us confused.

You don't want you in command.

What the hell happened out there, Chris?

It's classified.

Classified.

Look, I'm sympathetic to whatever's going on with you.

But I want you to find out what happened to una.

You can quit when you get home, but right now,

I need you back on that horse, captain.

That's an order.

Pike: Space.

The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the starship enterprise.

Its five-year mission,

to explore strange new worlds...

To seek out new life

and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Spock: Query. T'pring: Response.

Vulcans are so formal.

- Aren't we, though? - Query.

Response.

- Well said. - Thank you.

Perhaps simply asking a question

rather than prefacing it with a declaration

that a question is coming would be more efficient.

- One would think. - So?

You asked me here to this spot

on the anniversary of our first courtship event.

You are wearing ritual mating colors.

So I am.

And yet the entire meal has passed without you...

Querying?

Yes. Querying.

Without you asking me a question.

That's patently untrue.

I have asked you many questions.

About your family. P'sal's new lute recordings.

Your gallivanting about the galaxy

- with star fleet. - "Gallivanting"?

Is there a particular question that you would like me to ask you?

Apologies.

I may have assumed too much.

I have been away, which can mitigate tradition.

- I have no right to as... - Query.

Spock.

Will you marry me?

I was beginning to think you would never ask.

Which,

I now believe, was the idea.

I'm going to have to ask you two to do that somewhere else.

Please.

What an excellent idea.

Spock: On salon, the seas consist of liquid Mercury.

Earth's are water.

There's nothing out there better than what's here on vulcan.

Perhaps you need to show me.

Dont -ihaveto.

- I took an oath. - As you just did to me.

Matrimony and duty. The two will complement each other.

I remain skeptical.

Spock.

Are you naked?

No, captain.

No, Chris, he's not. He was about to be.

- It's a special night. - Sorry.

Is everything all right, captain?

We 're going back out.

Number one's gone missing, Spock.

April's sending us to find her.

I will meet you on board, captain. T'pring will understand.

- Pike out. - Spock out.

That should have been a query.

Whether or not I would understand.

I am sorry.

Don't make a habit of it.

I won't chase you across the galaxy just to get married.

There is no need to chase what we already have, t'pring.

Enterprise, this is shuttle stamets incoming to transport coordinates.

Woman: (Over radio) Stamets cleared to transport.

All scrubbed up and good as new, sir.

Wish it were that easy.

Sir?

Energize.

- How are you, Mr. Spock? - Spock: Systems are all nominal.

But as you know, no simulations were run.

Thank you, chief Kyle.

Spock: The main a.I. Has been upgraded.

Personnel rotation was in process.

A few officers will have to billet after the mission.

That includes the chief engineer and lieutenant kirk,

whom I know you requested.

It seems like a million years ago.

Three months, ten days, four hours, five minutes, actually.

I asked how you were, Spock.

I am well, captain.

Although I confess each time I return to space,

the weight I carry for the loss of my sister feels heavier.

I'm sorry. I miss her, too.

Bfidge.

- (Device beeping) - Okay, new cadets, medical...

Oh, good, we needed that.

Uh, security.

- Security... - What is it, captain?

Um, well, I just assumed that in una's absence...

Forgive me, captain. Command believes I would best serve the mission

as chief science officer.

No, I know, I understand, Spock. I just, uh...

I just didn't think about having...

A new number one.

Woman: Captain on the bridge.

Captain pike.

Lieutenant la'an noonien-Singh. Chief of security.

I've been assigned as acting first officer.

Welcome aboard, number one.

You've got some pretty big boots to fill.
