00:00:00Previously on Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:00:27I'm calling to let you know that we have chosen not to offer you a fellowship
00:00:31I've been trying to tell you I just need some personal time
00:00:33I am having difficulty watching you experience such obvious distress
00:00:36I want to help
00:00:37But it would appear all that I'm doing is making it worse
00:00:39James
00:00:41You two know each other?
00:00:42I have to insist that you not share any of what you experienced from this time
00:00:46Those events were never supposed to happen
00:00:49And you were never meant to be aware of them
00:00:51Neither was your companion
00:00:53I was wrong
00:00:54I don't deserve you
00:00:56But I'm asking
00:00:57Will you forgive me?
00:01:05Communication Officer's Log
00:01:07Stardate 2398.3
00:01:09Traveling in the far edges of the Alpha Quadrant
00:01:12We have encountered an unusual phenomenon
00:01:14A naturally occurring subspace fold
00:01:17Lieutenant Spock posits it could be used to triple the speed of subspace communications in this sector
00:01:25But his experiment requires so much computer power that the rest of the ship has to communicate
00:01:31Hailing frequencies open
00:01:33The old fashioned way
00:01:35On it
00:01:36The onboard council
00:01:38I'll route that right to you
00:01:41Back to Uhura
00:01:44Have you hailed Captain Battelle?
00:01:46Hailing now Captain
00:01:47I'll send her to your quarters when I have her
00:01:49Transporter to Uhura
00:01:51Has the USS Farragut confirmed Lieutenant James Kirk's arrival?
00:01:54Checking on that now Commander
00:01:55Medical to Uhura
00:01:56Is there a message from Dr. Corby yet?
00:01:59Just arrived
00:02:00Stand by
00:02:01Engineering to Uhura
00:02:02Are you ready to continue our experiment?
00:02:04Yes Lieutenant
00:02:05Momentarily
00:02:05You want to go to Creeville for our first vacation together?
00:02:16I know it's cliche
00:02:18And touristy
00:02:19Chris I have always wanted to see the Caribbean Planetary Museum
00:02:23And there are day trips to the glass islands and smoke lakes
00:02:27I know you love a lake
00:02:28What's wrong?
00:02:32Uh maybe the timing is bad
00:02:34I'm just not sure I can get away right now
00:02:36Is there something you're not telling me Chris?
00:02:38Of course not
00:02:39No
00:02:39Uh
00:02:40But
00:02:41Let's just put a pin in planning
00:02:43For a few days
00:02:45Whatever you want
00:02:47I'll be here
00:02:48Lieutenant Kirk's captain sent a report in advance of his arrival
00:02:55Show him the ropes
00:02:56Kirk's full of talent
00:02:57But still has one or two issues to work out
00:02:59Before he begins his commission
00:03:01Punctuality being one
00:03:03You have
00:03:06An energy
00:03:08What?
00:03:10I'm just waiting for our visitor to arrive
00:03:12So I can run a security clearance on him
00:03:14I'm aware
00:03:15But you came in here hot
00:03:16On fire
00:03:18It's making me sweat
00:03:20I'm fine
00:03:22This is just standard operating procedure
00:03:24Lieutenant Kirk
00:03:28Welcome back to the Enterprise
00:03:30Thank you commander
00:03:31No Sam
00:03:31Thought he'd be here
00:03:32He's busy
00:03:33We'll find him later
00:03:34Thank you for agreeing to do this
00:03:35Even if it's not fully necessary
00:03:37When I took my commission
00:03:38I spent a week shadowing Pike
00:03:40It made all the difference
00:03:41Hopefully it'll do the same for you on the Farragut
00:03:43Good to see you again La'an
00:03:45You still owe me that drink
00:03:46If I'm not mistaken
00:03:48You know each other
00:03:50Um
00:03:51Yeah
00:03:52Yes
00:03:52But I still need to do the security clearance
00:03:55Lead the way
00:03:56Oh sorry
00:03:59What if it's another rejection
00:04:08Forget those Vulcans and their science academy
00:04:11They don't deserve you
00:04:13But this fellowship is different
00:04:17Dr. Corby's a genius
00:04:20Am I supposed to know who that is?
00:04:21He's the Louis Pasteur of archaeological medicine
00:04:24Yeah no
00:04:25Still means nothing
00:04:26It means that thousands of people apply for this fellowship every year
00:04:30And only five are accepted
00:04:31This could change my life
00:04:33Okay
00:04:37You got it I knew it
00:04:46What will I do without you for three months?
00:04:50Oh my god
00:04:51You're not the only one who's gonna miss her
00:04:53I have to talk to Spock
00:04:57Unfortunately we have had another communication failure
00:05:01That's our twelfth attempt at sending a message through the subspace folder
00:05:04Thirteen
00:05:04That's not exactly what I would call a lucky number
00:05:08What makes you think that this particular fool will lead to faster communication?
00:05:15Frequencies propagate through it three times faster than normal
00:05:17With our current relay network it takes weeks to send a message across the quadrant
00:05:22Imagine being able to do it in moments and getting a near instant reply
00:05:27Real-time communication across thousands of light years
00:05:30Only so far no one's heard us
00:05:34Have you tried sending music through?
00:05:43We have not
00:05:43Do you believe music may yield a different result?
00:05:46Well you are trying to communicate through a medium with different laws of physics
00:05:51So perhaps fundamental harmonics are the answer
00:05:55Hmm?
00:05:57You know, it's just a thought
00:05:59But perhaps an excellent one
00:06:02You picked a song, Yola
00:06:05Well let's see if subspace is a fan of the great American songbook, huh?
00:06:13In olden days a glimpse of stocking
00:06:18Was I looked on at something shocking
00:06:20But now God knows
00:06:22Anything goes
00:06:24Anything goes
00:06:27Now only used for letter words
00:06:31Riding home
00:06:32Anything goes
00:06:35Mitchell, what just hit us?
00:07:00No other ships in this sector, sir
00:07:02It looks like it came from that subspace fold
00:07:04Vincent Uhura, are you patched into comms?
00:07:07Aye, sir
00:07:08I need a full status report on stations
00:07:10Apologies
00:07:11Reporting from engineering first, sir
00:07:13Mr. Spock?
00:07:15The intermix chamber and containment field are stable
00:07:19I'll get to the war core and assess its state when I'm able
00:07:27Why?
00:07:29Where's that music coming from?
00:07:30Not from anywhere on the ship
00:07:32Apologies
00:07:34The most confounding thing
00:07:37I appear to be singing
00:07:40I have sickbay for you, sir
00:07:41Most unusual
00:07:42So peculiar
00:07:44They can confirm there's no injuries
00:07:47Just a daily mundane
00:07:50A headache, a splinter
00:07:53A left ankle sprain
00:07:55It's happening again
00:07:57It's happening again
00:07:57Why are we singing?
00:07:59Apologies
00:08:01The most confounding thing
00:08:04We appear to be singing
00:08:07Most unusual
00:08:09So peculiar
00:08:11Lieutenant Ortegas
00:08:14Lieutenant Ortegas, status reports
00:08:17Ortegas is at the helm
00:08:20The pilot seat
00:08:23The pilot seat
00:08:23Is my realm
00:08:25We're in a field surrounded
00:08:28Still
00:08:29Flight system steady
00:08:30Impulse engines ready
00:08:32At the console
00:08:34Systems initializing
00:08:36Life support robust
00:08:39Now finalizing
00:08:40We'll check inertial dampers
00:08:42And see if they're hampered
00:08:45All is okay
00:08:50It appears that all is okay
00:08:55Security detects no threats
00:09:15We'll do a personnel overhaul
00:09:18No decks unchecked
00:09:19All practical functions are steady
00:09:22Things that banks deflect to shield
00:09:25Don't let them ready
00:09:27Apologies
00:09:29The most unfounding
00:09:31Apologies
00:09:32The most unfounding
00:09:34Apologies
00:09:36The most unfounding
00:09:38Apologies
00:09:40The most unfounding
00:09:43Gees
00:09:44Self-aclusion
00:09:45All systems stable
00:09:47All systems stable
00:09:48All systems stable
00:09:50All systems stable
00:09:52All systems stable
00:09:54All systems stable
00:09:56All systems stable
00:09:58But why are we singing?
00:10:05Space
00:10:06The final frontier
00:10:09These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
00:10:15Its five-year mission
00:10:19To explore strange new worlds
00:10:22To seek out new life
00:10:26And new civilizations
00:10:29To boldly go
00:10:33Where no one has gone before
00:10:35Do you know?
00:10:38More of them
00:10:41What?
00:10:42Come on
00:10:43Mmm
00:10:47You
00:10:47Come on
00:10:48Fabulous
00:11:51That happened.
00:11:52Reports of musical outbreaks have come in from every deck.
00:11:55Honestly, I assumed it was something you had all rehearsed, but I sang too.
00:12:00So did I. And I do not sing.
00:12:03The surge came from your subspace fold. Help me connect the dots.
00:12:05We sent a series of transmissions through. The final one was a song.
00:12:10You sent in a song, and then we all sang?
00:12:13Why are we singing?
00:12:14I believe the song created a resonant frequency and dislodged something from the fold.
00:12:18A quantum uncertainty field.
00:12:20Okay, why would that make us sing?
00:12:21Imagine an area of space where quantum uncertainty is collapsed so rapidly and randomly that new realities are created.
00:12:27In one such reality, people sing uncontrollably.
00:12:30A musical reality.
00:12:33Indeed.
00:12:33So what's next? More improbability? Or will we just suddenly poof into bunnies?
00:12:40No, we prefer not to be a bunny either.
00:12:42I doubt we will be bunnies, but we may not be done with singing.
00:12:46Simulations reveal we have become tethered to this particular improbability field.
00:12:50Attempting to fly out would likely make it wider.
00:12:51It looks like a zipper, which begs the question, might it function like a zipper?
00:12:58Zippers work both ways. Could we use it to close the improbability field back inside the fold?
00:13:03Potentially. If we combined the shield harmonics with the Heisenberg compensator,
00:13:06you'd have to connect both to the deflector array and generate a beam.
00:13:09That means connecting them manually.
00:13:11Let's do it.
00:13:12We don't know how this singing will affect us, and I'd rather not find out. Best to nip it in the bud.
00:13:16Mr. Spock, you explained that very well.
00:13:18I almost understood it.
00:13:21Our zipper beam must precisely match the resonance of the fold.
00:13:27What was the exact frequency of the song you sent through?
00:13:29One moment.
00:13:33Is that transmission regarding Nurse Chapel's recent fellowship application,
00:13:37was the news favorable?
00:13:39I don't look at personal correspondence.
00:13:42Of course, that would be unethical.
00:13:45You and Nurse Chapel have become close, haven't you?
00:13:47I suppose it would be accurate to say that we are more than colleagues.
00:13:55There's that classic Vulcan romance I've heard about.
00:13:58Why don't you ask her about it?
00:14:05Of late now, our communication has faced the challenges.
00:14:11Number one to Alvora.
00:14:13Lieutenant Kirk and I are in place.
00:14:14Stand by for harmonics data.
00:14:15One junction down.
00:14:23Four more to go.
00:14:25Don't tell me you've run out of steam already.
00:14:28You know, my brother, he always described you as the first officer that I thought I should be like.
00:14:34Someone who keeps a necessary distance from her crew because she knows she has to make hard decisions.
00:14:39I'm aware of the reputation I've had on this ship, but recently, I'm trying a new approach.
00:14:43More hands-on.
00:14:45My last first officer definitely kept his distance.
00:14:52And no one questioned him.
00:14:54I call that style of command a first mistake.
00:15:00The kind that makes my head shake and my heart break.
00:15:06Take some advice from your senior number one.
00:15:13This I assure, tried and true.
00:15:17The littlest things can mean everything.
00:15:21When it comes to them and you.
00:15:24Connect to your crew.
00:15:27We're singing again.
00:15:29We're singing again.
00:15:31And it makes me confess things I'd never express.
00:15:35Truth be told, in a parallel world, I can see myself upon the stage.
00:15:42And for three hours a night, and to everyone's delight, I'd regale them with all my renditions of Gilbert and Sullivan.
00:15:53Ha-ha!
00:15:54So what you're saying is...
00:15:55With my new commission to a higher position, I'd do well to profess my truths.
00:16:03Rather than question it, I deem it relevant.
00:16:07No longer will I dispute that the littlest things can mean everything in being authentic.
00:16:17Basically you connect to your truth.
00:16:20When you put it like that, it makes sense.
00:16:23Rather than question it, let's deem it relevant.
00:16:27Absent from fear or dispute.
00:16:31These deeply held things, yes they mean everything in becoming authentically you.
00:16:38Connect to your truth.
00:16:40And connect to your crew.
00:16:45Will do.
00:16:46Will do.
00:16:46Did I hear that right?
00:17:10Did she just shine a spotlight on her innermost feelings like it's no big deal?
00:17:18Say whatever, whenever you like.
00:17:22You presume with all my mastery to pursue flights of fancies.
00:17:29Who am I kidding?
00:17:31I've never found that part of me.
00:17:36Because I'm designed to color inside the lines.
00:17:43Cool and methodical.
00:17:45Way too responsible.
00:17:47I can't help it.
00:17:50Sometimes I peek through a keyhole and see people happy.
00:17:55I admit it might be time to change my paradigm.
00:18:04If only I can let go of the wheel.
00:18:12My fear acclaced with total faith.
00:18:16I'm fiercely free and really flying blind.
00:18:24How would that feel?
00:18:42This all makes me so uncomfortable.
00:18:45I want to let go, be vulnerable.
00:18:48Who am I kidding?
00:18:50Who am I kidding?
00:18:51I've never met that side of me.
00:18:56In my defense.
00:18:59The truth has a consequence.
00:19:03I won't watch the whole thing spin out of control.
00:19:06If I have the chance.
00:19:08It might be time to change my paradigm.
00:19:17If I can only let go of the wheel.
00:19:24My fear acclaced with total faith.
00:19:28I'm fiercely free and really feel flying blind.
00:19:37How would that feel?
00:19:39In another time we had a life together.
00:19:46Could time repeat?
00:19:49Oh, will it unravel?
00:19:53Be careful once you start.
00:19:56Make one mistake and blow it all apart.
00:20:02Or worse, break my own heart.
00:20:16Who am I kidding?
00:20:18I've never found that part of me.
00:20:21It might be time to change my paradigm.
00:20:32If only I can let go of the wheel.
00:20:39It's nice to dream that I could change my mind.
00:20:46Deep down I know I will never go.
00:20:53My fear is staked.
00:20:55I have no faith.
00:20:57Consent in freedom is not real.
00:21:03Flying blind.
00:21:08How would that feel?
00:21:10When people sing, they are confessing highly personal emotional information.
00:21:24Lieutenant, are you telling me our emotions constitute a security threat?
00:21:29I am.
00:21:33Well, whatever you're not saying.
00:21:35Hope it doesn't come to that.
00:21:36Mr. Spock and Ensign Aurora have a plan to shut it down.
00:21:41Captain, we have adjusted the Heisenberg compensator to combine with shield harmonics
00:21:44and collapse the musical reality back into our standard quantum state.
00:21:48Lieutenant Kirk, not to rush you, but I'm rushing you.
00:21:53The sooner we close the fold, the faster we can say goodbye to the music.
00:21:57Copy that, Ensign.
00:21:59She was talking to me.
00:22:00You don't know that.
00:22:01I do know that. I actually work here.
00:22:02This isn't even your department. You're xeno-anthropology.
00:22:05I was assigned here at your request.
00:22:07She said you missed me.
00:22:10Everything's connected to the deflector.
00:22:12Ready to go, Neota.
00:22:14Deflector aligned and ready to fire.
00:22:15On your command, number one.
00:22:27It's closing.
00:22:29Good work, all.
00:22:30What is it?
00:22:32It appears to be another energy surge.
00:22:33Somehow, I don't think we zipped it.
00:22:35Spock, what happened?
00:22:36Unable to determine.
00:22:38Incoming help from the Cayuga.
00:22:39When it rains, Spock, find a way to determine it.
00:22:40It's an uhura.
00:22:41Put Captain Battelle through, please.
00:22:42Captain, can we have a private conversation in a more discreet location?
00:22:44About our canceled vacation.
00:22:49Unable to determine.
00:22:50Incoming help from the Cayuga.
00:22:53When it rains, Spock, find a way to determine it.
00:22:57Ensign Uhura, put Captain Battelle through, please.
00:23:04Captain, can we have a private conversation
00:23:06in a more discreet location
00:23:09about our canceled vacation?
00:23:14Apologies.
00:23:16I appear to be rhyming.
00:23:20And singing.
00:23:21Marie, I'm gonna call you back.
00:23:24Oh, no, no, you don't.
00:23:27I'm not done yet.
00:23:29Chris, you always do this.
00:23:33You always run away.
00:23:36Oh, sure, I see.
00:23:37Lay all the blame on me.
00:23:40When you're the one whose idea of fun is
00:23:44what am I saying to you?
00:23:48In front of my crew.
00:23:51This is a private conversation.
00:23:54A private conversation.
00:23:56About our frustration.
00:23:58About our frustration.
00:23:59This is a private conversation.
00:24:01A private conversation.
00:24:03About our frustration.
00:24:05A private conversation.
00:24:07We must contain it. We must restrain it. I don't want to hurt you, Marie. You mean more and more to me.
00:24:19But when you and I don't see eye to eye, a switch inside me flips and I'm compelled to hide.
00:24:37What just happened? Why did I admit all that?
00:24:40I told you, this is a security threat.
00:24:43But the singing, how did that happen on the Cuyahoga 2?
00:24:47Because the improbability field is expanding. Across the whole subspace communications network.
00:24:54To the entire fleet.
00:25:07Admiral April's last message confirmed that the improbability field has now spread to 12 Federation ships.
00:25:13He let me know in a surprisingly beautiful baritone that he wants us to stop this now, by the way.
00:25:18Do we have any idea why this reality is compelling us to confess our deepest emotions?
00:25:22I have a theory. I think since we're in a musical reality, we're actually following the rules of musicals.
00:25:28So when do characters in musicals usually begin to sing?
00:25:31When their emotions are so heightened that words won't suffice.
00:25:38This musical reality wants us to sing about what's most pressing on our minds.
00:25:43These emotions have the power to overwhelm our capacity for rational thinking.
00:25:48They also have the potential to drive us apart.
00:25:51The subspace fold. I think we should blow it up.
00:25:54Use the photon torpedoes to bring down the curtain on this thing for good.
00:25:57That has potential.
00:25:58Really?
00:25:58Since we are the focal point of this subspace fold, a matter-antimatter blast might untether the Enterprise
00:26:04and reverse the musical reality for all effect.
00:26:07But it would be prudent to test this theory in a controlled environment, in case it is more explosive than intended.
00:26:12What if we could isolate and transport...
00:26:15Subatomic particles from the fold.
00:26:18Sorry.
00:26:19I shouldn't have interrupted you because you had that thought first.
00:26:23Locking in on something that small would require cross-targeting.
00:26:26It's a two-person job.
00:26:30Well, luckily you have two persons right here.
00:26:38You're refusing an assignment?
00:26:40This isn't like you, La'am.
00:26:41That's the problem.
00:26:43I'm not behaving like myself.
00:26:45None of us are.
00:26:47You're afraid of singing.
00:26:49To James.
00:26:49What?
00:26:49You can stop hiding it.
00:26:52I see how you act around him.
00:26:54What do you mean?
00:26:55How do I act around him?
00:26:56You don't want me to answer that.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:04Hypothetically, let's say I have feelings for him.
00:27:07And those feelings pose an actual space-time security risk.
00:27:11I should just tell him that's a responsible thing to do.
00:27:16Before it happens outside of my control, I should just suck it up, stop being a child, and just do it.
00:27:20You've got lots of thoughts to wade through.
00:27:41Tangled webs of people who will complicate your life and thwart you.
00:27:55These are facts that I relate to.
00:28:02Pick and choose the truth that you want to tell.
00:28:07If you're being smart, no broken trust, no drama, you just keep to yourself.
00:28:16Be your own best friend and confidant, cause no one will protect you when things go wrong.
00:28:26The secrets you keep safe inside, might keep you awake and cut like a knife.
00:28:40Cause the road you're ruined, paid by intentions of fools, nice people who couldn't keep a secret.
00:28:53No one can keep you small, be bulletproof, and ten feet tall.
00:29:01An island population.
00:29:06Oh.
00:29:13No one can hurt you or let you down again.
00:29:23Secrets I keep safe inside.
00:29:39Secrets I keep safe inside.
00:29:41A skill I perfected so I could survive.
00:29:47If it worked before.
00:29:51It doesn't serve me anymore.
00:29:55I wish I never learned how to be.
00:30:01So good at keeping secrets.
00:30:03We should boost the gain on the targeting scanners.
00:30:17Way ahead of you.
00:30:18Do we have a lock on the target?
00:30:20Sorry.
00:30:21Reflex.
00:30:22This is your ship.
00:30:23You give the orders.
00:30:26Ready on both ends?
00:30:30Energizing now.
00:30:31Molecular imaging scanner can't focus the signal.
00:30:38Heading power?
00:30:41Isolating particles from the subspace vault.
00:30:45Got it.
00:30:49Confirmed.
00:30:51Lieutenant Spock, I have the particles.
00:30:53They're coming your way.
00:30:54Acknowledged.
00:30:55Ready to receive.
00:30:56Transporting subspace particles to engineering.
00:31:00Wow.
00:31:02That was exciting.
00:31:04I mean, Spock and the Horg, it's a blow it up, which is the real fun part.
00:31:09But we make a good pair.
00:31:12We should team up more often.
00:31:16Lieutenant.
00:31:16Lieutenant.
00:31:16Um.
00:31:19Jim.
00:31:20Jim.
00:31:22Sounds so serious.
00:31:24I, um.
00:31:29What was that?
00:31:30Hitting just a few subatomic particles nearly blew up engineering.
00:31:39Firing on the field would be devastating.
00:31:42As you can see in the simulation, the explosion would propagate through the entire Federation subspace network, destroying everything.
00:31:48It would be like soaking the improbability field in kerosene and holding a match to it.
00:31:53We need a plan C.
00:31:56Sir, I'm getting a hail.
00:31:58Don't answer.
00:31:59We can't risk reading this further.
00:32:00I am triangulating the source.
00:32:02There appears to be an incoming warp signal heading our way fast.
00:32:05The signal has Klingon encryption.
00:32:07The last thing anyone wants is singing Klingons.
00:32:10Laura, send a message by proxy order of Starfleet Command.
00:32:13Tell them they must turn around immediately.
00:32:15They've stopped hailing, but I'm getting a message back.
00:32:18The improbability field's already hit them.
00:32:26Stand by for playback.
00:32:28This is General Garkog of the Imperial Klingon Defense Force.
00:32:34Your evasion raises much suspicion.
00:32:38We have located the abominable source of our dishonor, and will destroy it immediately.
00:32:45Make no attempt to stop us.
00:32:48They're going to fire on the fold.
00:32:56The ship will be here in two hours.
00:33:01I've held them repeatedly.
00:33:02They refuse to answer.
00:33:03If they complete their mission, everyone affected by the improbability field will be destroyed.
00:33:08So just the entire Federation and half the Klingon Empire?
00:33:10We have to stop them at all costs.
00:33:12Number one, analysis.
00:33:13While striking them first will constitute an act of war.
00:33:16Not much choice here, I'm afraid.
00:33:17What if we just find a way to disable their disruptor cannons?
00:33:19And their torpedo launchers.
00:33:21That's a lot to disable before they get off a shot.
00:33:24We need a tactical strategy immediately.
00:33:26The on?
00:33:26On it.
00:33:29And you.
00:33:30You're with me.
00:33:31Partners again.
00:33:32I like it.
00:33:33Let's go.
00:33:35Mr. Spock, Uhura.
00:33:36What are the odds we could shut down the improbability field before the Klingons get here?
00:33:40Not good.
00:33:40At least according to the data we have.
00:33:42Then find new data.
00:33:44You both need to fix this.
00:33:45You're applying old rules to a new reality.
00:33:47I suggest you find a different tempo.
00:33:49Fast.
00:33:53Studying the songs themselves.
00:33:54Brilliant.
00:33:55Not just the songs, but the frequencies the moment the song begins.
00:33:59If we can isolate a pattern in the improbability field, we might learn how to generate an improbability
00:34:03breaking event.
00:34:05Now, how to trigger a song?
00:34:08Well, per our musical rules, we just need to wait until someone feels overwhelming emotion.
00:34:15You know.
00:34:17Like that.
00:34:18To our brilliant friend, Christine.
00:34:21Oh, I feel weird celebrating with everything going on.
00:34:24I mean, we can't put our lives on hold every time the ship's in trouble.
00:34:27We could, but that wouldn't be fun.
00:34:28Some of us need fun to deal with the constant threat of dying.
00:34:31Point is, we're here to celebrate your win, so deal with it.
00:34:39Christine, logic would dictate you are toasting good news regarding your fellowship, so allow
00:34:44me to offer congratulations.
00:34:46Thank you, Spock.
00:34:48I am curious why you chose not to inform me.
00:34:51Was it an oversight or was it intentional?
00:34:55Can we, um, we talk about this later?
00:34:59I am just curious.
00:34:59Yes.
00:35:10This news really changes everything.
00:35:16A distant dream becoming real.
00:35:23I convinced myself it wasn't happening.
00:35:30And now I'm surprised how good it feels.
00:35:36I worked so hard for this.
00:35:41And now the fellowship sees me as one of their own.
00:35:46The sky is the limit.
00:35:48My future is infinite.
00:35:50My possibilities are endless.
00:35:54I'm ready.
00:35:55Drinking every second of the joy of success arriving overnight.
00:36:10I've been seeing life through camera obscura.
00:36:20Now my canvas is wide as the open horizon.
00:36:24I worked so hard for this, and now the fellowship sees me as one of their own.
00:36:33The sky is the limit.
00:36:35My future is infinite with possibilities.
00:36:39Look Go.
00:36:40Go.
00:36:41Go.
00:36:41Come.
00:36:41Go.
00:36:42Go.
00:36:44Go.
00:36:44Go.
00:36:48Go.
00:36:48Go.
00:36:49Go.
00:36:50Go.
00:36:50Go.
00:37:00It's freedom and I like it
00:37:11My spark has been ignited
00:37:15If I need to leave you I won't fight it
00:37:19I'm ready
00:37:21I'm ready, ready
00:37:23I am ready
00:37:25I'm ready
00:37:28I'm ready, ready
00:37:30I'm ready
00:37:32I'm ready
00:37:36Number one suggests that we concentrate our phasers on their disruptors and forward torpedoes
00:37:49Aft torpedoes are what you really have to worry about when it comes to the Kota-Ingercloss ships
00:37:53Well, I trust your aim
00:37:58So you're gonna tell me that thing you wanted to tell me before?
00:38:04Okay, uh, I-I need to just say this before it comes out in the form of a 17th century sea shanty
00:38:10I, um, I know you
00:38:15I mean, not you, you
00:38:17Well, I know you now
00:38:18But, I mean, before
00:38:19In a different...
00:38:21Time
00:38:23I met another you
00:38:25Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:38:26I-I don't love rules
00:38:30But I'm pretty sure you're about to break a big one
00:38:32The other you
00:38:33He, um...
00:38:36He saw the real me
00:38:39Beyond my name
00:38:42Beyond all that name stands for
00:38:44He'd never even heard it before
00:38:45And I-I liked it
00:38:49I liked the way
00:38:51He looked at me
00:38:53Because through his eyes
00:38:59I could finally see the person I had the potential to be
00:39:01You know, it was
00:39:04Someone who wasn't burdened by
00:39:07Tragedy and darkness
00:39:10Someone who could find hope and live in that hope
00:39:12Someone free-free to feel and-and
00:39:17Take chances and, um
00:39:21And make connections
00:39:30But then, um
00:39:38He was gone
00:39:41And...
00:39:42With him, that version of myself was gone, too
00:39:45That's-that was what I wanted to say
00:39:50Am I anything like the other me?
00:40:05No
00:40:06And-and yes
00:40:11I like how you look at me, too
00:40:16In what way?
00:40:26Like you really see me
00:40:27I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the connection, too
00:40:42When you first called me
00:40:44I felt like I knew you
00:40:47But I'm not that
00:40:49James Kirk
00:40:51Of course
00:40:53It was inappropriate
00:40:54No, Lon
00:40:55You don't understand
00:40:56My-my life is complicated
00:40:57Not
00:41:00Time travel complicated
00:41:02But I'm in a relationship
00:41:03A sometimes relationship
00:41:07And right now is one of those times
00:41:09In a very real way
00:41:11Oh, my God
00:41:13If I'd have known
00:41:14How could you have
00:41:15I actually think you'd like Carol
00:41:17You're both dedicated to your jobs intensely
00:41:21She's a scientist on Starbase One
00:41:24I tend not to stay in the same place for very long
00:41:29Which is
00:41:30Which is
00:41:30A growing problem
00:41:34Because Carol is
00:41:35Pregnant
00:41:39Oh, um
00:41:43Wow
00:41:48There you are
00:41:52I've been analyzing the data we gathered
00:42:02Great, let me help
00:42:05Looking for a pattern
00:42:08Only
00:42:10There is none
00:42:12I
00:42:15Didn't expect Christine to be so definitive about ending our arrangement
00:42:20Relationships can be difficult, Spock
00:42:28And you're Vulcan
00:42:31But I'm also human
00:42:32I feel things differently
00:42:37Bigger
00:42:38I see your logic
00:42:41And yet
00:42:42I'm hurt
00:42:45I'm left behind
00:42:48This news really changes everything
00:43:03I can't believe how wrong I've been
00:43:10Convinced myself
00:43:15We share the same feelings
00:43:19I won't make that mistake again
00:43:26She's happy and carefree
00:43:32The opposite of me
00:43:33The opposite of me
00:43:34I can do the calculus
00:43:37For her I set aside my need to analyze
00:43:42Now I'm wrecked and searching for why
00:43:46I'm the X
00:43:48I've got no one but myself to blame
00:43:57I've betrayed my core philosophy
00:44:04Unbending reason must be my true noise
00:44:13Lest I drown in this sea of pain
00:44:21I'm so dysfunctional
00:44:23I'm so dysfunctional
00:44:24Weak and emotional
00:44:25Feelings I just can't contain
00:44:29Escaping this misery
00:44:31You're breaking free
00:44:33Not a possibility
00:44:36I've solved for why
00:44:38In my computation
00:44:41But missed vital information
00:44:45The variable so devastating
00:44:50I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I
00:45:20A pattern.
00:45:35I have to find a pattern.
00:45:50I'll pick up the pieces, repair what is broken alone.
00:45:58I know.
00:46:14Memories etched in my mind of mom and dad.
00:46:19A cool big brother I would idolize.
00:46:24So full of laughter and I could trust in the four of us.
00:46:30They flew away.
00:46:34Nothing to indicate calamity.
00:46:40All so young and alive.
00:46:43Oh, they ruptured into a million shards of light.
00:46:52And none of them would survive.
00:46:56How come everywhere that I go, I'm so low.
00:47:02Am I at my best?
00:47:04Don't accompany me.
00:47:07My whole life has been fix this and save you.
00:47:12I'll ride the path and keep us connected.
00:47:17My fabric is woven with love and loss.
00:47:34I was just a cadet when we met.
00:47:40Hammer's belief in me changed my life.
00:47:44I found my place and said goodbye.
00:47:47I absorb all the pain.
00:47:52I hear everyone's voice calling my name.
00:48:00Building systems that strengthen ties that bind.
00:48:06So no one has to be alone.
00:48:10How come everywhere that I go, I'm so low.
00:48:16Am I at my best?
00:48:19I'm not accompanied.
00:48:22My whole life has been fix this and save you.
00:48:27I'll ride the path and keep us connected.
00:48:32The patterns repeating, guiding and teaching me.
00:48:59I know, I know, I know, listen for signals.
00:49:06I'm here, you are reaching me.
00:49:10Come home.
00:49:15Everywhere I go, I'm good, we're told.
00:49:21At my best, I have everything I need.
00:49:26My whole life has been fix this and save you.
00:49:31That's what I do.
00:49:34I keep us connected.
00:49:44I keep us connected.
00:49:47I keep us connected.
00:50:04I keep us connected.
00:50:04Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:50:04Eh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:50:07Look, it's a pattern.
00:50:12Every time someone sings,
00:50:13the state of quantum improbability in the field spikes.
00:50:16It's almost imperceptible, but it's there.
00:50:19So I ran the simulations,
00:50:21and if we can get this spike to 344 giga electron volts...
00:50:26It would shut up the field.
00:50:28You found the improbability-breaking event.
00:50:31Great.
00:50:32So how do we make this event happen?
00:50:34Because our sensors just clocked two more Katinka battlecruisers
00:50:36headed in this direction.
00:50:37Well, so far, we've only witnessed people
00:50:39being torn apart by this event.
00:50:42But song can also be communal.
00:50:44People worship with song.
00:50:46Sailors use song to help them row together.
00:50:48People celebrate with song.
00:50:51What I sang with Christine in the port galley.
00:50:55A spike of 40 electron volts.
00:50:58And that was just a solo with backup vocals.
00:51:00Maybe four voices, max?
00:51:03So we need to do that again.
00:51:05But with more.
00:51:07A lot more.
00:51:09You mean, like an ensemble number?
00:51:14Not just an ensemble number.
00:51:17A grand finale.
00:51:18We need melodies and harmonies with tone ratios
00:51:22that achieve both algorithmic and logarithmic balance
00:51:24on a mass scale.
00:51:26What I'm saying is...
00:51:28The whole crew needs to sing together.
00:51:32Our challenge is how to inspire 200 crew members
00:51:34to spontaneously sing in thematic unison.
00:51:37A song cannot be triggered without an emotional purpose.
00:51:39Oh, that sounds to me like a job for a communications officer.
00:51:43I can't possibly inspire the entire ship to sing.
00:51:46Oh, yes, you can.
00:51:48You see the connections between us
00:51:50when all we see are the empty spaces.
00:51:53Help them to feel the way they need to, to sing.
00:51:56Attention all crew, this is your captain.
00:52:02I know our situation has been challenging.
00:52:06And we might not all have been acting like a...
00:52:09Well, like a crew.
00:52:13But we'll get through this.
00:52:15Together.
00:52:17By following one voice.
00:52:19The voice of the Enterprise.
00:52:20Ensign Uhura?
00:52:25Hi.
00:52:26Everyone.
00:52:29You might not all know me,
00:52:31but I know you.
00:52:34So allow me to introduce myself.
00:52:37Ensign Miyota Uhura,
00:52:39your communications officer.
00:52:41I used to think of myself as always alone.
00:52:46But not on this ship.
00:52:48Because each of us, we're connected.
00:52:50As a crew.
00:52:58Do you know the odds of all of us
00:53:01being here on the Enterprise at this time?
00:53:06It's improbable.
00:53:10And yet, here we are.
00:53:12Together.
00:53:12All of us.
00:53:14This is where it all leads.
00:53:17The Enterprise.
00:53:18The Enterprise.
00:53:19Is it my destiny to save us all?
00:53:24No.
00:53:25It's my job to disrupt the chaos.
00:53:30Find a purpose for us all.
00:53:35We're all rushing around.
00:53:41We're confused and upended.
00:53:45Let's refocus now.
00:53:48Our bond is imperative.
00:53:50Let's bring our collective together.
00:53:53As we fight for our lives.
00:53:57Uhura, I really needed to hear that.
00:54:01Our security is only as strong as our unity.
00:54:06When I scan the universe, it reveals truth and gives meaning.
00:54:12It's what I meant to do.
00:54:15The danger's not over yet.
00:54:19When we gain control again.
00:54:21I confess I'll miss the singing.
00:54:26Now let's bring this thing down.
00:54:29We know our purpose is to protect the mission.
00:54:38Our directive.
00:54:40Because we work better all together.
00:54:43We overcome our observation cold and warm.
00:54:50Keep going.
00:54:51I have to give credit when due.
00:54:56And if I make captain, it'll be thanks to all of you.
00:55:01And I don't take for granted my role to command.
00:55:06I can't believe how much I'll miss this crew.
00:55:10The Starship Enterprise feels electrified.
00:55:15I'm so proud to be your captain.
00:55:20Now let's take this thing down.
00:55:25We know our purpose is to protect the mission.
00:55:33Our directive.
00:55:34Because we work better all together.
00:55:37We overcome our obstacles at once.
00:55:46I look around and everyone I see.
00:55:50The pinnacle of guts and resiliency.
00:55:53Yes, threats are nothing new to us.
00:55:56It takes monumental strength and trust.
00:55:59We got lost and disconnected.
00:56:03Distracted, undefended.
00:56:05Uhura, you saved us.
00:56:11More singing.
00:56:13More voices.
00:56:15Have the Klingons.
00:56:16Uhura.
00:56:17Why have you...
00:56:22Why are you only calling us when you got your traumas?
00:56:27One of these days we'll repay you, we'll slay you.
00:56:31Gonna draw your last breath at the end of our mcleans.
00:56:34Your return on torture is every Klingon dream.
00:56:37You know what I mean.
00:56:38Make up a scream!
00:56:40We know our purpose is to protect the mission.
00:56:57Our prime directive.
00:56:59Not exactly.
00:57:00Well, there's one who can say.
00:57:03We're gonna sing it anyway.
00:57:06Our voices will rise.
00:57:09Through space and through time.
00:57:12We're the unbreakable.
00:57:15Unshakable.
00:57:17Improbable.
00:57:18Unstoppable.
00:57:20Sensational.
00:57:22Omational.
00:57:22We're boldly explorational.
00:57:26Crew of the Enterprise.
00:57:30Oh, my God.
00:58:00Hey, all the Klingons. I think we might have to mend some fences.
00:58:14Hey, how are you?
00:58:19I told Kurt the truth.
00:58:21How'd it go?
00:58:22Want to see?
00:58:25No, great. I, uh...
00:58:27It was really hard. And it hurt.
00:58:33It usually does.
00:58:34I'm glad I took that chance.
00:58:39Maybe...
00:58:43Maybe I could be someone who takes chances more often.
00:58:46You know, I don't need a hole to do.
00:58:58Just relax. Enjoy it.
00:59:01Enjoy it.
00:59:02I promise you, even Julia Child's Beth Bouguignot itself will not make me forget that you sang about lying to me.
00:59:12Why didn't you just tell me you hate the idea of Crivo?
00:59:15I don't hate the idea.
00:59:16Okay, yes. Sounded like my nightmare.
00:59:22I just pictured something quieter. Camping somewhere.
00:59:26Chris, this isn't gonna work.
00:59:29If you're not more comfortable being honest with me.
00:59:32Even about something as small as a vacation.
00:59:34You gotta trust me more than that.
00:59:36You gotta trust us.
00:59:37I don't know.
00:59:40You're right.
00:59:42Well, I have good news and bad news.
00:59:44We have more time to plan our compromised trip.
00:59:47I just got put on a priority one mission.
00:59:54Now...
00:59:56How do I know...
00:59:58you're not the one making excuses now?
01:00:00Oh, no.
01:00:02When I'm back, we'll go somewhere we know, Monica.
01:00:04Monica.
01:00:06But no camping.
01:00:07Unless it comes to room service.
01:00:11Deal.
01:00:16Communications officer's log, supplemental.
01:00:19I'm happy to report that all Federation vessels have checked in and are behaving normally.
01:00:24Once again.
01:00:26As for the Klingons,
01:00:28Lieutenant Spock engaged in successful diplomacy over some blood wine.
01:00:31Otherwise, it's back to business as usual around here.
01:00:37USS Nemerfro, this is Enterprise, acknowledging receipt of your transmission.
01:00:41You fly safe out there.
01:00:43Acknowledge Enterprise.
01:00:46Uhura.
01:00:48It occurs to me that we'd be served by sharing our findings with non-Federation ships, too.
01:00:51See who's nearby and open a channel.
01:00:54Copy that, sir.
01:00:56I'll scan the area.
01:01:01Mmm hmm hmm.
01:01:02Mm hmm.
01:01:04No panties.
01:01:06No panties.
01:01:08Sorry.
01:01:10Earworm.
01:01:12Ears.
01:01:13Sorry.
01:01:14Ear worm.
01:01:15Oh, my God.
01:01:45Oh, my God.
01:02:15Oh, my God.
