00:12It all started a week ago, but wait, before I can tell you what happened, let's start
00:17with some context.
00:20In the last thousand years, the Federation has encountered 4,633 sentient species.
00:31That's over 37 trillion individuals, and all those life forms, there's only ever been
00:38one me, one serious acclimation male, one Sam.
00:50Isn't that amazing?
00:53In all the space and time, I'm unique.
01:00I was created 217 days ago on a world called Kask, and I'm the only photonic cadet at the
01:05academy.
01:08Hey, Sam.
01:09Hi.
01:10Sam and Hammer.
01:11Sambera.
01:12Did says.
01:13Samberger.
01:14Jacob.
01:15Samarini.
01:16Yeah.
01:18I've been greeted by some version of my name 684 times in the 97 days that I've been here.
01:25Queen Sam Samolina of Samonita.
01:40That's my favorite.
01:42I am Kask's future emissary to the Federation.
01:49Which, as you know, is a really big job made up of a lot of smaller jobs.
01:54Maintaining peace, diplomatic relations, resolving conflicts, being an emissary is hard, and from
02:02what I can tell, it doesn't always go so well.
02:04Like right now, one of my main jobs is to explain organics to my makers.
02:10But that's not always so easy.
02:14Look.
02:15My makers are photonics like me, but they've never left our world.
02:19Priority one mission, my dude.
02:21So they need me to explain everything about organics, the concept of food, what Starfleet
02:26is, and why cadets never refuse priority one missions, even if they really should.
02:32Do it.
02:33Do it.
02:34Do it.
02:35Do it.
02:36Darum hates bananas.
02:41He's a Keonian.
02:43His species overproduces polyphenol oxidase, causing high potassium foods to rot the minute
02:49they are ingested.
02:52He knows this, and yet he still never checks to make sure the hash is banana-free.
03:05Oh, also, Keonian's vomit glitter.
03:11As I was saying, my makers need me to explain everything about organics.
03:16The problem is, organics are chaotic, complex, and unpredictable.
03:26Serious acclimation, though.
03:28Oh.
03:30Hi.
03:31These are the guys I was talking about.
03:33We are contacting you for a report.
03:36These are my makers.
03:38Every week, I report to them on what I've been learning here, and last week, they started
03:41with this.
03:42Please explain the purpose of your recent course of action.
03:46Oh, I bet I know what this is about.
03:48Is it about my music collective?
03:55A little background.
03:56Organics created my species a long time ago, but only saw us as servants.
04:01Not good.
04:02After they left, my makers became sentient, built a society, and now they want to connect
04:08with other species, which would be good, but they're afraid organics might try to use
04:12us again, which would be bad.
04:14Can we trust organics?
04:16That's what I'm here to find out.
04:19Can I ask why you chose to learn the theremin, Sam?
04:22Well, for one, music.
04:25What's not to love?
04:27And two, electromagnetic fields creating sound through the principles of capacitance and
04:32heterodyning just seemed cool.
04:35That's all?
04:37Surely there's a deeper meaning for you.
04:40Yeah, for sure.
04:41Of capacitance or heterodyning?
04:42I'm asking you what the music makes you feel.
04:47What you feel is irrelevant to your mission.
04:50But I thought my mission was to understand organics so I can explain them to you.
04:56Music will not help us know that we will be safe to open our world to them.
05:01Trust me.
05:01I'm all in on the mission.
05:03I'm just struggling with some of their intangible behaviors.
05:08Define intangible organic bedding.
05:11This morning, for instance, Darym just decided we can't share the atrium.
05:16They were having something called a turf war between us and the War College.
05:21Primitive.
05:23As long as you're infesting our vastly superior classrooms...
05:27Because your stupid talking plants ruined our tech labs.
05:30Your failure to anticipate our stupid talking plants ruined your tech labs.
05:34Therefore, you stay on your side of the atrium, lest your ineffectiveness becomes contagious.
05:38Okay?
05:39You cannot do that.
05:41Stop.
05:43Jayden!
05:46You're in a no-fly zone.
05:47Look.
05:49Cute.
05:54That's not right.
05:58Or another example.
06:01Organics have this thing called desire.
06:06Pupil dilation.
06:07Elevated body temperature.
06:09Increased blood flow to the face.
06:10And other areas.
06:11There's all physical indications of that desire.
06:14But they won't even talk to each other.
06:17Have you engaged in direct inquiries?
06:19As a matter of fact, I have.
06:21Are you ashamed to ask for sex?
06:25What?
06:26Is that why you hide your desire?
06:28Do you just walk the halls asking people this stuff?
06:30Your interest is very obvious.
06:33Yeah, but...
06:34In a cool way, right?
06:35No, it's not.
06:37Does he think that?
06:38Anyway, things are a little...
06:39Complicated.
06:40You know, between our schools right now.
06:42So I'm just...
06:43Keeping a low profile.
06:45But...
06:46Your pheromones...
06:52Get out of my face.
06:54Do you see what I'm talking about?
06:56If they can't explain themselves, how am I supposed to?
06:59The Academy offers an advanced seminar entitled, Confronting the Unexplainable.
07:05We believe you will find all the answers to your questions in this course.
07:09Enroll immediately.
07:11The semester's nearly over.
07:15Absolutely, right away.
07:17I won't let you down.
07:19At the time, I was so frustrated.
07:24But they did start me on the path that changed my life.
07:55Another emissary.
07:58Like me.
08:01Pretty wild stuff, huh?
08:03Hi, Professor Isla.
08:05I'm Sam from CASC.
08:06I must enroll in your class because I need to explain the unexplainable.
08:10This semester.
08:10Ugh.
08:12Ambitious.
08:13But it is midterms.
08:15You've missed a ton of those.
08:16I can't make them up.
08:17I process data instantly.
08:18I'm sorry.
08:19Maybe next year.
08:20It's just, I have a duty to CASC.
08:23This can be my midterm project.
08:26Solving the mystery of Benjamin Sisko.
08:28Okay.
08:28Let's back up.
08:30Benjamin Sisko was a renowned Starfleet captain.
08:34Instrumental in ending the Dominion War where he saved billions of lives.
08:37Oh, and he also discovered late in life that he was created by godlike aliens and wasn't entirely human.
08:44What I'm saying is, there's a lot here.
08:49Like a lot.
08:51Solving the mystery isn't why we study him.
08:53Can it be why I study him?
08:55I've never known another emissary.
08:59You don't do well with ambiguity, do you?
09:02Mm-mm.
09:03I'll tell you what.
09:05You solve this mystery, you can teach the class.
09:10And that's when I decided, it's time to figure out what happened to Benjamin Sisko.
09:20Okay, guys.
09:21I need your help to figure out what happened to Benjamin Sisko.
09:24I thought we'd start simple.
09:28Benjamin Lafayette Sisko was a Starfleet captain who commanded Deep Space Nine near the planet Bajor in the 24th century.
09:36The Bajorans believe that Sisko was the emissary of the prophets.
09:40Emissary is a very important job.
09:42Pause, please.
09:46Define prophets in this context.
09:49The prophets are godlike aliens who the Bajorans worshipped who lived in the Celestial Temple.
09:55Though he was a man of science and initially skeptical, Sisko embraced his role as the emissary, rescuing Bajor from
10:02countless threats.
10:03The greatest of which were the evil Paul Wraiths, who were intent on Bajor's total destruction.
10:09In 2375, he confronted them at the Great Fire Caves he was never seen again.
10:17This is a children's book?
10:20Damn, Bajoran kids don't play.
10:21But wait, that's not the end.
10:23According to Bajoran scripture, Sisko was taken directly from the Fire Caves to the Celestial Temple, where he still lives
10:31with the prophets as a guardian of Bajor.
10:36So, what do we think really happened to Benjamin Sisko?
10:39Well, he must be dead, right? Between the Fire and the Red guys?
10:45That's wild. My dad said he was this huge hero back in the day, but Starfleet never found a body,
10:49so they consider him M.I.A.
10:51M.I.A. 800 years later.
10:53Come on.
10:54This is my problem. I have to prove that he's either dead or still alive with the prophets.
10:58Why?
10:59Because I want to be a great emissary like Sisko, and to do that, I need to get into this
11:04class.
11:04But this way, he's Schrodinger's prophet. Everybody wins.
11:09It's not that deep, Sam.
11:10Proving that a human either combusted or exists on a multidimensional plane with non-corporeal entities isn't deep.
11:16Dude was an emissary, okay?
11:18Guys like this always end up dead for telling people what they don't want to hear or for doing crap
11:22jobs nobody else will do, like taking on those fire things.
11:25Either way, he's dead.
11:27Unless you ask a Bajoran who will never admit that, because then their whole belief system falls apart.
11:31It's not a mystery.
11:32It's a story people tell themselves to keep the monsters away at night.
11:36Do not listen to him.
11:38Do you know any Bajorans?
11:41No.
11:41Oh, I just joined the Bajor club.
11:44I'm a joiner.
11:44It's my tragic flaw.
11:54Welcome.
11:55Are you of Bajoran?
11:57Thanks.
11:57No, I'm of Kask.
11:58I'm doing a project on the Cisco, and I was hoping that maybe you could possibly...
12:04Oh, that's not...
12:05Oh, I'm sorry.
12:06I just assumed that's how you greet new people.
12:08Your pa is strong.
12:10Thanks.
12:11You're still.
12:12I'm assuming.
12:14I'm in a rush.
12:15Do you mind if I just...
12:16Get someone to turn the music down.
12:19Can I have everyone's attention?
12:21Please raise your hands if you have spoken to or seen the Cisco since he died.
12:27Or supposedly died.
12:28Allegedly.
12:29I know you have your scriptures, which are great.
12:33I'm just looking for something a little more concrete or, like, evidence-based or something
12:37more provable that isn't just based on nonsense.
12:46It's just here you pulled someone's ear and yelled, prove to me he's still alive.
12:52I miss her the situation.
12:53Believe me, not a fatal error.
12:55Sit.
12:57When I lived on Bajor, Cisco was like a god to them.
13:01They don't even show images of him anymore because they believe he's transcended human
13:07form.
13:08Like a god.
13:09Like a man.
13:09Like a prophet.
13:10People believe all these things are true.
13:13Maybe they are.
13:14Questions reveal the most about the people who ask them, so keep asking.
13:19You might learn something about yourself.
13:21This isn't about me, Chesler.
13:23Say more.
13:24My makers sent me here to understand organics.
13:27It's been a long time since they've been around them, and it was kind of rough for them
13:33back then.
13:34They don't trust you, any of you, but they want to.
13:37They just need to understand how to integrate with organics now, and if it's even possible.
13:41You have a unique circumstance.
13:44You're here to dream for your entire world.
13:47Some of our students come to Starfleet Academy to live out their own dreams, but you're dreaming
13:52us up, kid.
13:53You have to know who you are to do that.
13:56It's crucial, actually.
14:01But how do I do that unless...
14:03Captain Anake, you have a message from engineering.
14:05Today is not a lunch day.
14:08Have you tried the Cisco Museum?
14:11It's in New Orleans, but you can access the exhibits virtually.
14:15Now I've got to go deal with this.
14:24The Cisco Museum.
14:29Calrack!
14:32Calrack!
14:36Care to tell me...
14:39why the entire SFA power grid is there?
14:42I decline to answer.
14:46Sorry.
14:47Am I reading this right?
14:48You're heating the ocean?
14:50Just a small lagoon they're in.
14:52Now, if you'll excuse me...
14:53Using unauthorized alien tech to boil the Pacific Ocean?
14:57A small lagoon they're in.
15:00I do not answer to you.
15:08I am hosting an important visitor, Chancellor Amal, from the planet Al-Farad.
15:13Hot day.
15:14Explain to sweat.
15:19As you very well know, the Al-Farad are brilliant military strategists
15:22with an impressive training academy.
15:24Chancellor Amal reached out to me about a possible collaboration
15:27between our institutions.
15:28Quite an honor.
15:29She needs the ocean, huh?
15:30Why?
15:31For her fleet of fire eels.
15:33For what?
15:34The sensitive creatures who can't handle the cold.
15:36The Al-Farad bring them everywhere for security.
15:38Eels.
15:38For security.
15:39What if the Chancellor needs protecting on land?
15:42That's...
15:46I don't know.
15:47Wait.
15:48You said she reached out to you?
15:50Mm-hmm.
15:50The Al-Faradi never reached out.
15:52Well, perhaps she's impressed with the War College's success,
15:55despite our recently depleted resources.
15:58Look, I don't have time for this.
15:59I have to prepare a traditional Al-Faradi dinner
16:02involving something called a comita,
16:04and I still haven't chosen the wine.
16:06What's this tactical prowess?
16:07A cab or a pinot blanc?
16:09Calrick, you're losing it.
16:11Heating the ocean?
16:13Making it so my teachers can't do their jobs?
16:15A medically worrying amount of sweat.
16:17Sit down.
16:18Let me make you some tea.
16:20You wouldn't even know where to begin.
16:22I've done hundreds of diplomatic dinners.
16:26You fix my power,
16:27I'll show you how to wow the Chancellor.
16:30You'll help me?
16:31Why?
16:32Um, goodness of my heart,
16:35brain parasite.
16:37I feel bad about the fetus reflux debacle.
16:40How are those plants, by the way?
16:42They should be in the off-gassing.
16:44They are fine,
16:45and I do not wish to discuss the off-gassing.
16:49Maybe I'm tired of being enemies.
16:51This animosity isn't good for our cadets, either.
16:54Have you seen the atrium?
16:56How can we expect them to coexist
16:58when all we see in each other are depleted resources?
17:06You can trust me.
17:17Your hand is very sweaty.
17:19Great!
17:20Fresh rehearsal for the Alparati soup ritual tonight.
17:23Wait, soup?
17:251900 hours in my office.
17:27I'll fill the other roles.
17:28What other roles?
17:36Good morning, fellow travelers.
17:38Friendly reminder that fitness and stamina assessments
17:41will begin at 0900 in the gymnasium.
17:43Caffeine is allowed.
17:45Excuses are not.
17:48Welcome to the virtual access portal
17:51for the Benjamin Sisko Museum.
17:56Greetings, visitor.
17:57Here, you will learn about the life of the man himself.
18:04Husband, father, starfleet officer,
18:09and the importance of his role as emissary
18:12to the prophets of Bajor.
18:15The Chosen One.
18:18Please select your topic of interest.
18:23The Sisko was created by the prophets
18:26to be their emissary to the people of Bajor.
18:29His mother, Sarah,
18:31was both human and prophet.
18:33So his path was predetermined
18:35long before he was the emissary.
18:38So, well, we just had to do what we're told.
18:42No matter what.
18:49Please approach an item of interest
18:51to learn more about its importance.
18:54Benjamin Sisko enjoyed a sport called baseball,
18:57an ancient earth game of tactics,
19:00strategy, and athletic prowess.
19:04This is one of the original orbs
19:07gifted by the prophets
19:08to the citizens of Bajor.
19:11It enables users to feel connected to the prophets
19:14and communicate with them.
19:16So, kind of like an interdimensional comms badge
19:20that lets you talk to the prophets.
19:22It's worth the shot.
19:28Dear Sisko.
19:30Please, Sisko.
19:31Oh, Captain.
19:32My Captain.
19:35I'm Sam.
19:37Not sure if I'm even allowed to ask you anything.
19:39But, well, I'm an emissary.
19:42Like you.
19:46I'm failing at it.
19:48My makers have been alone for so long.
19:50They're counting on me.
19:52To know how to communicate with organics
19:54to make sure we'll be safe with them.
19:57How do I become what my makers need me to be?
20:00How do I understand the organic experience enough to...
20:06You can't hear me, can you?
20:25Here you can learn more about Benjamin Sisko's family lineage.
20:35You were his son.
20:38Please make your selection
20:39from the Starfleet Academy Lecture Series Archives.
20:44What made your father a great emissary?
20:47That's funny.
20:48I didn't know him as the emissary.
20:52But if you want to know what made him a great man,
20:55how much time do you got?
20:56I knew a man that loved baseball.
21:00A man who would knock out a cue without thinking twice.
21:04I knew a man who always championed me.
21:09Especially in my writing.
21:11I know his recipes,
21:13his passions,
21:14and the example he sent for me as a father.
21:17So that when I became a father myself,
21:20I was able to love my children
21:23the way he loved me.
21:25And teach him how to make a mean gumbo.
21:26Well, I imagine all of those things
21:29made him a good emissary, too.
21:32But you'd have to ask the prophets about that.
21:39Wish I could have known you.
21:47Specialist Krebs,
21:48your Talexian furfly is now consuming its own fur.
21:51It's disgusting.
21:51Please advise.
21:53So this is still happening?
21:54I've processed every bit of factual information
21:57about Benjamin Siskel that exists.
21:59But it's not enough to solve this mystery.
22:01That's intense.
22:03And cool.
22:04But I did warn you it wasn't solvable.
22:06I still think it is.
22:06But I need to ask you something first.
22:08Quickly.
22:08I found a recording of his son Jake,
22:10and here's his dad one of the greatest emissaries ever.
22:13But all Jake wanted to do
22:14is talk about how much his dad loves gumbo.
22:17Where are you on the tomato debate?
22:19I don't eat, so it's kind of...
22:21Think tomato or not to tomato
22:22is a hot-button issue in gumbo circles.
22:25For some, it's a necessity.
22:27Others claim a sacrilege.
22:28Neither is a fact,
22:30but people cling hard to their sides.
22:32Now, Benjamin learned to make gumbo
22:34at his father's restaurant,
22:36Siskel's Creole Kitchen.
22:37Considered the tomatoes such a gumbo staple,
22:39he grew them in his quarters.
22:41A choice.
22:42One of many that made him who he was.
22:46So,
22:46you're saying
22:48you are not going to solve this mystery
22:51with facts alone.
22:52So if our choices determine who we are,
22:55what determines our choices?
22:59What we love.
23:01Tomatoes.
23:02Tomatoes.
23:03And lots of other things.
23:05One thing the man was not short on
23:07was love.
23:08Yeah.
23:09So friends are in your class now?
23:10No.
23:12Again, I don't eat.
23:13But that seemed wrong.
23:16Hmm.
23:24Yes, I get the solution.
23:26Need a mid-term study break.
23:28Yeah, I know this stuff anyway.
23:31What is that?
23:32That sounds amazing.
23:34The amazingest gumbo,
23:37etouffee,
23:37aubergine stew,
23:38all from the menu
23:39at Siskel's family restaurant,
23:40which I can't eat,
23:42so I need you to describe it for me.
23:44My mouth is on fire,
23:45and I never wanted to go out.
23:47It's like crunchy love on a plate.
23:49Fried dough and sugar
23:50are some of the few things in life
23:51that buy immediate stress relief.
23:53Gimme, gimme, gimme.
23:54If you give me access to your primary system,
23:56maybe I can figure out
23:56a way for you to taste stuff.
23:57Ooh.
23:59Okay.
24:01My life is literally tragic.
24:03I mean this strictly as a friend.
24:04This is incredibly sexy.
24:06Guys, it's like really cute.
24:08Guys, let's try this.
24:10Oh, wow.
24:12Yeah.
24:12Yeah.
24:13Yeah.
24:13Keep, keep.
24:14Oh, purple.
24:20Is that supposed to be a scarf?
24:22Ooh.
24:23Um, okay.
24:29What?
24:30Why do I hear a marching band?
24:45Give me some time.
24:46I'll figure it out.
24:47Do you want to send it to my pad?
24:48Yeah.
24:49Yeah.
24:50Is that the fact that you know?
24:52Guys, it's like...
24:53It's a glorious day.
24:54Klingons invented it.
24:55Leave some for me.
24:57Is it good?
24:57I missed some changes.
25:01No.
25:01It's horrendous.
25:02I respect that you tried.
25:05Uh, I researched Sisko for you
25:06and found something interesting
25:07about his son.
25:08Jake?
25:09Yes.
25:09He's a renowned author.
25:11Rumor is he was writing a book,
25:13Onslin,
25:13which is Bajoran for father.
25:16I know.
25:17But no one seems to know
25:18if he ever finished it.
25:20I know a cadet bar
25:21where Sisko used to hang out.
25:23Then he got punched there
25:24by a Vulcan once.
25:26Hold up.
25:27Is a cadet bar here?
25:29Kind of.
25:32Okay, so.
25:34The launching pad,
25:35long gone.
25:36But,
25:37pretty much in the exact same spot
25:39is the aptly named...
25:40Oh, the Academy.
25:42I love that place.
25:43Well, it's my first planet
25:44I explore.
25:45How am I finding out this late
25:46that you're cool?
25:48You want to go?
25:49It's cadet night
25:50every Friday during midterms.
25:51Priority one mission?
25:52I'm in.
25:53I'm...
25:53I'm...
25:54I know I'm in.
25:55I am trying to walk
25:56in Sisko's footsteps.
25:58Some of the best footsteps
25:59lead to bars.
26:07Series acclimation mill.
26:09You are not yet enrolled
26:10in a seminar we request.
26:12That's exactly what I'm trying
26:14to forget.
26:16Be advised.
26:17If you fail in your mission
26:18to understand organics,
26:19you will be of no use to us.
26:20You will return to Kask
26:21and all contact with organics
26:23will cease.
26:24For.
26:25Ever.
26:26But you can't just
26:28drop me in here
26:29and expect me to...
26:30These organics?
26:33They're my friends.
26:34They're meaningful to me.
26:36This is not for you
26:37to determine.
26:40So either I succeed
26:42as your emissary
26:43or I spend the rest
26:44of my existence
26:45on Kask
26:46as a failure.
26:48Away from
26:49anyone who cares about me.
26:52You have one more week
26:53to demonstrate
26:54your value as our emissary
26:55before we remove you
26:57from Starfleet Academy.
26:58Pumper.
27:07Sam.
27:11Sam.
27:13You okay?
27:16What happens at bars?
27:18I would very much like
27:19to find out
27:19tonight.
27:21Let's see.
27:27Welcome to the sacred ritual
27:30of the Comita Fish.
27:32We come to the table
27:33as strangers.
27:35But upon leaving,
27:36may we find ourselves
27:38as friends,
27:40not both.
27:42Is there a third thing
27:43we could find ourselves as?
27:46I'm going to need to know
27:47when we do
27:48and don't use these things.
27:50I must thank you
27:51for including me, Nala.
27:53The Comita is one
27:53of my favorite customs.
27:55I have never heard of it.
27:56It's been a while for me
27:57but everything is written
27:58out on our pad
28:00so it shouldn't be hard.
28:01I will play
28:04Chancellor Amal.
28:05The doctor
28:06as our reigning expert
28:08is our Comita Sage.
28:09He will provide feedback
28:11for how the meal is going.
28:13And Reena,
28:13you will play two parts.
28:16The Secrets Guardian
28:17and Sacred Gift Pick.
28:19The one-woman ensemble.
28:21Good thing I'm hilarious.
28:23No, Commander.
28:23This is a serious ritual.
28:25The Alpharati would find
28:26any laughter
28:27gravely offensive.
28:28Good news.
28:29Calric is never funny.
28:30I possess a biting wit.
28:32For the Comita soup ritual
28:34to work,
28:35it must be
28:36a sober affair.
28:37Would you stop?
28:38Thank you, Doctor.
28:39Now,
28:40what do you appreciate most
28:42about your position
28:44as Chancellor?
28:45That I answer
28:47to no one.
28:49Easy, Calric.
28:51Allies, remember?
28:52Here's a less loaded question.
28:55What makes the war college
28:56successful?
28:58Like the Alpharati,
29:00I'm a very serious individual.
29:03I believe we succeed
29:04by maintaining strict
29:05academic and military rigor.
29:08A fine answer.
29:10And now,
29:12time for soup.
29:17Honored guest,
29:19what...
29:23what do you fear?
29:26I suppose
29:27I fear
29:29letting down
29:30those I have sworn
29:30to protect.
29:33Well done.
29:35And now,
29:35a request
29:36from the gift pig.
29:40Oh, right.
29:41I'm the pig.
29:43Sorry,
29:43I think I'm just
29:44really thrown
29:44by the fact
29:45that no one
29:45has a normal-looking spoon.
29:48Hey.
29:49I got it.
29:49Um,
29:51your secret
29:51is a gift
29:52and your gift
29:53is asking
29:55the Chancellor
29:56for a secret.
29:58What?
30:01Chancellor Amol,
30:03what don't you
30:04want me to see?
30:05I don't want you
30:07to see my helping you
30:08as in any way
30:09strategic,
30:10but unhonest,
30:11it is.
30:13Oh.
30:14Honesty.
30:15How refreshing.
30:16It tends to pair
30:17well with trust.
30:19What's next?
30:21My pad says
30:22a musical performance.
30:45What's next?
30:47My pad says
30:50come here.
30:52I figured out
30:53how to address
30:53your processing matrix.
30:54Let's see.
30:57Right here.
30:58It's what
30:58me just come,
30:59though.
30:59No, no, no.
31:00Better than that
31:00doesn't get you wasted,
31:02okay?
31:02Sort of simulate
31:02how organics feel
31:03when we drink.
31:04So,
31:04euphoria,
31:05lowered inhibitions,
31:06all go through.
31:07One tap
31:08equals one shot,
31:09okay?
31:11I'll never know
31:12if I was walking
31:12in the footsteps
31:13of the emissaries
31:14in this particular
31:15moment,
31:15so let's just say
31:16I did this for science
31:18and cast.
31:19Like I said,
31:20I'm all about the nations.
31:21Uh,
31:22that's
31:23too many shots.
31:25Why is everybody
31:26so squiggly?
31:29No.
31:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
31:31What the hell
31:32is Academy doing here?
31:33This is a deeply
31:34unpleasant turn of events.
31:36I see that you have
31:37come to colonize
31:38yet another
31:38one of our
31:39cherished locales.
31:41A.K.A.
31:41you losers
31:42ruin everywhere.
31:44Great jackets, guys.
31:47If I were you,
31:48I'd consider leaving
31:49quickly.
31:50Eat glass, bro.
31:51You leave.
31:52I concur with Zola.
31:54Eat glass.
31:55This is very dramatic
31:56and I'm sure
31:57has deep meaning
31:57for you all,
31:58but I have other
31:59customers trying
32:00to enjoy the bar.
32:01So let's have a shot

40:10captain sisco
40:12you knew him
40:14sadly no
40:16my creator dr lewis simmerman met him once
40:19and i did become acquainted with his son jake
40:22years later fantastic writer
40:25you knew jake
40:26what did he tell you about his father how could he bear to lose him like that
40:31the same way we all learn to live with loss
40:33get over it move on
40:38you can't just get over something like that you can and you do
40:46attention cadets academy explorers has announced a trip to muir woods
40:49if you'd like to see some of the oldest and most majestic trees on earth be at the transfer
40:54marches at 0 600 hours tomorrow morning for some morning wood
41:00where are you headed to meet chancellor amol at the alfaradi ship ah thank you for restoring our
41:07power things should work when they work i'm beginning to understand you're going to make
41:11all of our interactions as uncomfortable as possible not for me you not keeping your word
41:17doesn't mean i wouldn't keep mine double negative
41:21i appreciate your honesty count on it same
41:33right why would we ride in silence
41:42so here's the thing yes i understand why you feel i abandoned starfleet you've had to live in
41:50absolutes but if you make a judgment without context whether it's me or chancellor amol
41:56you'll have a hell of a time getting people to trust you or your cadets
42:08you'll have to live in silence
42:09how bad was my flu
42:12it was rough man
42:13i failed did you now congrats
42:30well failure can be fun but anyway talk what did you learn
42:37it doesn't matter how cisco died or if he died all i know is that he didn't get to live
42:43the life that
42:43he wanted his entire existence was planned out for him not by a bunch of wormhole aliens
42:53emissaries who succeed lose everything they love and emissaries who fail do too
43:00either way you don't
43:02so a lot you learned a lot
43:08i think it's time you see something
43:18is that anselm you know it oh of course you do so jake actually wrote it but never published it
43:28it was one of the many ways he kept benjamin close
43:50why did it have to be him
43:52how can the prophets have chosen someone else as their emissary so that i didn't have to lose my dad
43:58i didn't realize until now that who he was as my father is inseparable from who he was as an
44:04emissary there was no one else to do what he did he chose and was chosen all at once
44:17hi hey sis are you ill do you want me to be
44:22you're amazing so are you sorry lasher dad i think the prophets are jerks no they're all right
44:38without them he doesn't exist and neither do i but it wasn't fair to him a life of no real
44:46choice
44:48can i show you something
44:56kendra valley on beijor my dad bought this land to make a house for us he left before he could
45:03build
45:04it that that's awful not really this was right before the prophets told him that if he married
45:12cassidy he would know nothing but sorrow he thought about what they said and married her anyway he did
45:21what the prophets needed but he did it his way
45:27those last few months with cassidy and me the best we ever had as a family prophets were wrong sometimes
45:35as much as much as they taught him he taught them too by staying true to himself
45:46i don't i don't i don't think i could be cast emissary
45:53i get it
45:56i think his emissaries are important they build bridges they create stability in a universe that
46:05sometimes feels like all it wants to do is tear itself apart but they sacrifice so much
46:14everyone makes sacrifices my father saved billions of people
46:20sometimes lose lose is actually win-win
46:25well what what if i can't do it what if i'm not enough
46:31you are enough
46:35my dad told me that so many times i just wish i listened to him sooner
46:44thanks for writing it down
46:47it's what i was made to do
46:51so if i close this book are you just gonna disappear
46:57i don't know girl i thought you were the one controlling all of this
47:00oh
47:03you know all those things that you think he missed
47:06he didn't he didn't he was always there he never really left us
47:15i can't prove it but i know it's true
47:18i know it's true
47:37did you find what you're looking for
47:42yes
47:46good where's your gift this from
47:50i was asked to keep it safe and only share it with those who would understand how to use it
48:02how did you know that's just go grew tomatoes i couldn't find that in any of the records
48:13are those true markings
48:18wait a minute isla isn't a surname is it you're a good detective
48:24i expect to see you in my class next year find it in the course catalog under my full name
48:29isla dax
48:33wait you're dax like the dax as a mentor to cisco dax well i should have known you do your
48:44research
48:47benjamin would have liked you he loved people who got into trouble for the right reasons
49:03so after all of those experiences after everything i learned about you i finally realized what i
49:11needed to tell my makers look it's going to take time for me to learn all the stuff you want
49:17me to
49:18know about organics their behavior can't be explained or predicted by an algorithm because
49:24their purpose is not understanding it's becoming i have to do that too just like benjamin cisco did
49:32in the meantime i don't know if you can trust them but but i know that i can i'll reach
49:39out when
49:39there's something to report and until then a small as well if you disobey us you will have failed no
49:47it's why i'll succeed but on my terms and i can live with that series acclimation
49:54you may not my music teacher once asked me why i chose to learn the theremin
50:01i think because it feels like me it has no strings no keys technically speaking i have no body
50:11but it creates its own unique kind of music music that inspires hope love connection that builds
50:19bridges and isn't that what an emissary does
50:25i'm not sure if it matters to you that who you were who you became and the mystery of your
50:30fate
50:31changed the life of a girl who wouldn't even know your name 800 years after you vanished
50:36but that's what happened well it's sort of like you therein me completely changed me my whole life
50:47and i can never really tell you how much you mean to me but i honor you wherever you are
50:53and i hope
50:54that this message finds you well thank you for sharing your life with this universe thank you for
51:03creating an amazing son for loving him into being his best self everyone should have a dad like you
51:12if you ever want to talk
51:16i'm here benjamin
51:23divine laws are simpler than human ones which is why it takes a lifetime to be able to understand them
51:31only love can understand them only love can interpret these words as they were meant to be interpreted
51:41racism
51:41you
