Star Trek: Discovery

Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...

This clue is the most important thing in the Federation right now.

We have to get the Progenitors' power and keep it safe.

Remember how scared you were to be on the bridge when we went to Halem'no?

You did a great job.

In general, you're really finding your way,

and you shouldn't be afraid to take on more.

Thanks, Teach.

I've found a match for the phrase inscribed upon the metal card.

Labyrinths of the Mind is the title of a Betazoid manuscript.

Has anyone else ever come looking for this?

Our records show you are the first.

Your consciousness has been transported into a mindscape.

Book?

My form was generated from your subconscious.

- So why do you look like you? - You tell me.

- We talked earlier and... - And what?

We didn't fix it. That's why my subconscious picked you.

Because I want to fix it, but I don't know how.

There's a crystal in Viewing Room 7.

Once you wake up, just go in, get it and break it open.

Clue's hidden inside.

There's one more thing you need to know first,

about something inside your final destination.

Give me the clues, or more blood will be on your hands.

Stand by for transport. Discovery out.

Coordinates to the Progenitors' technology.

Get a scan of that map to Stamets.

We've received an item from Discovery via transport.

Materialize it.

- Is the object authentic? - It is.

- They're locking onto us. - Evasive maneuvers.

We're gonna vent and jump simultaneously.

Primarch, we've confirmed debris and traces of warp plasma.

Discovery has been destroyed.

Commander Asha, where are we?

Twenty-two light years off-target.

Commander Stamets?

The spore drive malfunctioned.

We cannot jump again until it is fixed.

Would your scion be this selfish?

He left for a human.

He loves me, but he left because of you.

Primarch, don't.

I am the wife of L'ak,

true ruler of the Imperium.

- Long will he reign. - Long will he reign.

Long will he reign.

My dearest T'Rina,

it is...

good to see you again.

And you, Saru.

I bring these as a gift from the planet Elpanah.

They believe them to be good luck for those with impending nuptials.

They are lovely. Thank you.

If I may, I cannot help but notice concern in your demeanor.

That and all of the activity... Is something amiss?

As you were already in transit from your diplomatic mission,

it was deemed best to wait to tell you directly.

Discovery came into conflict with a Breen vessel.

- Oh. - They have sustained damage,

but no casualties.

Well, that is a relief.

That said, the situation has become complex.

President Rillak has convened an emergency meeting.

She requires us both.

Primarch Ruhn is dead.

Moll killed him.

The news has spread faster than we anticipated.

Within a matter of hours, the remaining five primarchs have become aware.

They smell blood in the water.

I have just returned from planets near the border of Breen space.

They are already on edge.

The potential ramifications of this development could cause panic.

We'll have to deal with that another day.

Right now, we have more immediate concerns.

Our intelligence indicates that one of the five primarchs, Tahal,

intends to take Ruhn's soldiers for herself

in order to strengthen her bid for the throne of the Imperium.

She has mobilized her fleet to pursue his dreadnought,

which is already on its way to the location

of the Progenitors' technology.

That is where Discovery will travel as well,

once damage is repaired.

Yes.

Discovery needs to secure the technology

and jump away before Tahal gets there.

If she learns that we're after the literal power of creation,

well, I think we all know she won't let that one go.

Discovery barely escaped one dreadnought.

Were they to face Tahal's entire fleet...

Are we able to send reinforcements?

Admiral Vance is mobilizing every ship in the sector,

but most won't make it in time.

Excuse me, Madam President.

Moll's dreadnought just exited a transwarp tunnel.

They've picked up time.

They'll be at the coordinates of the Progenitors' technology in 15 minutes.

Notify Discovery. They need to get moving now.

I do wish I had better news, Captain.

And here I was, hoping you were calling to say hi.

I trust you will find a way to succeed,

and I assure you we will do all we can to prevent Tahal and her fleet

from joining the conflict.

I know you will, Saru. Thank you.

We're almost done with repairs, and we'll be on our way soon.

Good luck, Michael.

And, please, stay safe.

Damn right I will. I got a wedding to go to when this is all over.

Hey, we need to go.

Moll and the Breen are almost at the coordinates.

Any other good news?

Primarch Tahal may be coming too.

Okay. Well, basic power and auxiliary systems are back online.

Lights are a good sign. What about the other repairs?

Left nacelle's fully functional, right's almost there.

Shields are in progress.

What about the spore drive?

That's a different story.

Okay, w-we can jump, but I just can't guarantee

that we'll land precisely where we intend to.

How "not precisely" are we talking?

Well, nav system was damaged during Ruhn's attack,

and Book is helping.

Yeah, shouldn't you be in sickbay?

Culber patched me up.

You know me. Couldn't just sit around relaxing, could I?

Um, we've improved the margin of error considerably,

but I would feel much more confident in our landing accuracy

if we could have another hour and a half?

- Not gonna happen, Commander. - No, we need to jump right now.

Do your best.

- Coordinates are set, Captain. - Thank you.

How's it looking out there, Tilly?

Long-range scans are unclear... I'm not sure why...

but I can tell it's in an area of gravitational turbulence,

so we'll need to be careful.

Discovery, this is Captain Burnham.

Everyone to stations.

Prepare to jump, and expect a hard landing.

The Breen may already be on site, so eyes up.

- Commander Jemison, get us cloaked. - Aye, Captain.

Okay, let's jump.

Red alert. Stamets, where are we?

Okay, I got us as close as I could

with the margin of error and the nav system damage.

What the hell's happening to the viewscreen?

Those are gravity distortions.

Well, we've landed in the accretion disk of a black hole, Captain.

At this distance, I should be able to get us out.

Asha, we're getting closer to the red zone.

It's pulling us in. I don't understand why.

- Engineering, we're gonna need more power. - I'm working on it.

Open the plasma injectors.

- Keep them locked at full. - Got it.

And, uh, we should override the tolerance limiter.

Which relay?

- Over there. - On the left?

- Yeah. - Uh-huh.

I'm giving you everything I have

unless you pull from the cloak.

Rayner?

No, we can't risk that.

Maintain cloaking. CommanderAsha, what is our status?

Gravitational pull's still too strong. It doesn't make sense.

No, it's because it's not one black hole, it's... it's two black holes.

It's a... It's a binary system.

And they're... they're primordial black holes,

which is in... that's interesting.

- Tilly. - Yeah, no. Yes. Uh...

If we can change our heading to 320 mark seven

and move closer to the other black hole,

we can use its gravity to pull us away.

That-That, plus our, uh, engines, that should be enough.

- Good thinking, Lieutenant. - Do it, Asha.

Everyone hold on tight.

Warning. Significant gravitational shearing detected.

The second black hole is coming into range.

Tilly...

It's gonna work. It'll work.

And we're clear.

Hey.

Drinks on me tonight.

It's "tonight" somewhere. Do we have to wait?

Nice work, everybody.

Rhys, any sign of the dreadnought?

No. Seems we beat them here.

Can't be by much.

Asha, how far are we from target coordinates?

Approximately 60,000 kilometers, sir.

- Set a course. - Aye, Captain.

Lieutenant Tilly, now that we're more in range,

what can you tell us about the target?

Coordinates are in the Lagrange point of the two black holes,

which means that the Progenitors' tech

has been in gravitational equilibrium since...

I mean, the...

these black holes, they predate everything else in the galaxy, so...

So since they put them there.

Can we get it on screen?
