00:20Previously on Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:28Are we going to discuss Luton that will take us?
00:30She passed for Psyca, Val.
00:31Could it be she's back on rotation too soon?
00:37Your maneuver endangered everyone on the ship unnecessarily.
00:41I'm sorry about what happened to you, Erika, but I can't have it affect your judgment.
00:45Out here, I get to prove what I'm made of.
00:48Nothing can touch me until it did, and now there are days when I'm as scared as I was then.
01:01Personal Log, Stardate 2198.7.
01:05Enterprise is investigating a peculiar area of uncharted space, like stories told by old Earth sailors.
01:12This region is legendary for its tales of strange phenomena, the kind of thing Division 12 usually looks into.
01:18Ghost stories at sea.
01:36What we found is a parsic of space, with gravity waves so odd, even Spock can't figure it out.
01:42Sensors are coming back with conflicting data.
01:44Our probes are being pushed around the area like beach balls.
01:47Like I said, the only way to get answers is to send in a shuttle with an expert pilot riding
01:52the manual controls.
01:53Be mindful.
01:54I have never seen this level of gravimetric volatility without a discernible source.
01:58You're just making it sound more fun.
01:59You're sure about this?
02:01Dr. Mvenga cleared me for solo missions.
02:03I am good to go.
02:04I have endeavored to create a predictive map focused on a particular area showing the highest level of gravimetric fluctuation.
02:09This module will augment the shuttle's sensors to assist with the collection of in-flight data.
02:14Got it.
02:15Don't worry.
02:16I'm going to get you so much data, it'll be coming out your ears.
02:19It's an expression.
02:22You know that, right?
02:25I must admit, I am disappointed to not be joining you on this mission.
02:28But, monster, gravity waves, remember?
02:30We have specifically retrofitted the shuttle, stripped out all non-essential equipment.
02:34Like they say, every ounce counts.
02:36And you, Mr. Spock, are too many ounces.
02:42I maintain my weight with any variance of 1.8 kilograms.
02:46Is that not obvious?
02:50Besides, you're needed here, in the science lab, monitoring the incoming scans.
02:55In a gravity field this dense, there's potential for data loss.
02:57Coms will be impacted, so stay in constant contact.
03:01Roger that.
03:02Once your survey is complete, deploy the subspace monitoring buoy.
03:04Other than a number of unverified signals, we know very little about this region of space.
03:08In other words, Starfleet is posting a spy satellite to see who comes snooping around.
03:13Well, consider me briefed.
03:15Now, here's another old pilot saying, let's light this candle.
03:20Did you see Spock's face?
03:23No.
03:24I almost feel bad.
03:25You look like the kid who was told he couldn't go on the rollercoaster.
03:28No.
03:29If I'm being honest, solo mission's a bonus.
03:33Chance to clear my head.
03:37You'll be okay out there for a couple hours all alone?
03:40Trust me.
03:41Fine's my happy place.
03:42I know.
03:43So have fun, but be safe.
03:46Safe is my middle name.
03:48Wait, you told me Danger was your middle name.
03:53Enterprise Shuttlecraft Archimedes lowering blast shields and exiting shuttle bay.
03:58Okay, show me what you've got.
04:04Sensors activated for non-visual control.
04:07Monitor set for gravitational imaging.
04:15Status number one.
04:17Holding at minimum safe distance, 2.4 million kilometers.
04:20Laura, how's she doing?
04:21Ortega's reports five by five, sir.
04:23She started her survey run.
04:24I'm here, Captain.
04:26This reminds me of those old stories on Earth about pilots who flew airplanes into hurricanes.
04:31I always wondered what that must have been like.
04:33Now I know.
04:39Science lab at the bridge.
04:40Data collection is complete.
04:42I know you're enjoying yourself, Erica, but playtime's over.
04:44Deploy the buoy and return home.
04:46A little envious, Captain?
04:48No, this chair suits me just fine.
04:58Ortega's the Enterprise.
04:59I've lost helm control.
05:01Something's got me.
05:02I'm trying to get a visual.
05:05The wormhole's just popped up out of nowhere.
05:09Red alert.
05:10Where the hell did that thing come from?
05:12Sensors must have missed it somehow.
05:13Sensors missed a wormhole?
05:14No, and it's right on top of Ortega's position.
05:17We're going to contact the shuttle.
05:19Tell Ortega's to get out of there.
05:20Archimedes, come in.
05:22Erica, come in.
05:23The wormhole's creating comms interference.
05:25Wait, I've got something.
05:27Hull integrity, 60%.
05:3055%.
05:3250%.
05:32Yeah, I get it.
05:33I'm turning into the skid.
05:34Captain, she's too close.
05:37Heading right into the eye of the hurricane.
05:39Come on.
05:40You got this.
05:42You got this.
05:44You...
05:46Sir.
05:48I've lost contact with Ortega's.
05:49I'm not picking up her transponder.
05:51There's no sign of the shuttle.
05:54She's gone.
06:06Space.
06:09The final frontier.
06:13These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
06:18It's five-year mission to explore strange new worlds.
06:26To seek out new life and new civilizations.
06:32To boldly go where no one has gone before.
06:38It's five-year mission to explore.
07:06To propose.
07:08To be
07:14Bye-bye.
07:19To propose.
07:21To propose.
07:33To propose.
07:35To�에 Started Commission.
07:35To Hoş diferente.
07:35Beau a高el.-
07:36I don't know.
08:06I'm not in the gravity well of a gas giant dead ahead.
08:09Enterprise, this is Archimedes. Can you read me?
08:12What the hell am I doing?
08:14I'm on the other side of a freaking wormhole.
08:16Computer, do we still have enough power to deploy the subspace relay?
08:20Affirmative.
08:21Okay.
08:23Record this on replay and broadcast.
08:26Mayday, mayday.
08:27This is Lieutenant Errico Ortegas of the Federation Starship Enterprise.
08:30I just got kicked out of a wormhole.
08:32I don't know where I am, but I'm going down.
08:34Whoever hears this, come find me at Siege Gordon's.
08:40And bring snacks.
08:43Ah!
09:00Oh, my God.
09:14The rations.
09:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
09:24Damn it.
09:32Personal log.
09:33Stardate unknown.
09:34Have crashed.
09:35Who knows where.
09:36Sensors are too damaged to get a fix.
09:38Life supports on batteries.
09:40But I'm alive, so that's a win.
09:46Shuttle has seen better days.
09:52I deployed Starfleet's fancy relay buoy.
09:55Hopefully it can transmit my mayday back through the wormhole.
09:59Oh.
10:01I was just getting to the good part.
10:03So much for a log.
10:04Doesn't matter.
10:05Just make a list of what needs fixing.
10:07Ah.
10:10Oh.
10:15Starting with me.
10:18Starfleet Academy Survival 101.
10:20You're stranded on an alien planet.
10:23What do you need?
10:24Water?
10:26Food?
10:27Shelter?
10:28Got one?
10:31Need the other two.
10:59You are now a water condenser.
11:02Please condense.
11:07Oh.
11:21Oh.
11:23Oh.
11:27Oh.
11:29Oh.
11:30Oh.
11:42It's amazing.
11:43I've made water!
11:45Beto, if you can see me now, I have made water!
11:48First survival problem solved.
11:51Now for problem two.
11:52Food.
11:54Knife.
11:55Fire cube.
11:56Flare.
11:58Breathable-ish.
12:06Big rock's close, or big rock's far away.
12:11Looking to get away from it all?
12:13I know just the place.
12:24All right.
12:26Let's go over it again.
12:27There was no wormhole, and then it just appeared.
12:31It's not normal.
12:33It is possible our sensor simply did not register its presence during initial scans.
12:37Wormholes are notoriously unstable.
12:39And the fact that this one has remained at non-varying for the last 46 hours is, in and of
12:43itself, unique.
12:44It's been nearly two days.
12:46We've maintained continuous scans of the area.
12:50There's no sign of shuttle debris.
12:52Nothing at all.
12:52That could be a good sign.
12:54No debris means Erica could be alive.
12:56Her shuttle may be damaged and adrift in the gravity field.
12:59We've picked up no life signs, no transponder signal.
13:02If the shuttle was adrift, we would have registered its ping by now.
13:05If Ortegas was pulled in, could she even survive traveling through a wormhole?
13:09There's little comprehensive data on wormholes.
13:12That answer is unknown.
13:13Where would Ortegas end up if she didn't make it through?
13:15The exit point of this wormhole is essentially unknowable.
13:18It could be anywhere in our galaxy, anywhere in the universe.
13:21Or, hypothetically, even in another universe.
13:23If the shuttle did get pulled in, its engines wouldn't have enough power to get back out.
13:27And still no comms.
13:29I'm using a narrow subspace beam to try and reach her,
13:32but the wormholes of Vettner Rising keeps reflecting it back.
13:36I'm working on a way to penetrate it.
13:37Which brings us back to square one.
13:39Captain, a reminder.
13:40We are scheduled to rendezvous with the Constellation to deliver a vaccine to the colonists on Epsilon Indy 3.
13:45They are fighting off a pandemic.
13:48We need to keep trying.
13:52Hey.
13:55No one's giving up yet.
13:58We still have time to explore more avenues.
14:01Let's make the best of it.
14:04We need to bring Erica home.
14:09All right.
14:11Need to find food.
14:12What have we got?
14:15Clearly no apple orchards nearby.
14:22This isn't looking promising.
14:25What the hell?
14:28Non-specific seismic activity.
14:31Whatever that means.
14:33Not helpful.
14:41Hello, wormhole.
14:44Don't move.
14:46You're my ticket home.
14:52Wait a second.
14:53That gas giant seems big.
14:55A little too big.
15:00Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:02This can't be right.
15:06Gas giants.
15:08Here.
15:10Moon.
15:11Here.
15:12The orbit's not circular.
15:14It's a flat ellipse.
15:16It puts a perigee's way too close.
15:19Which means the moon's orbit cuts right through the planet's thermosphere.
15:25Through that toxic soup.
15:27And brings it right down here to me.
15:30Which means I've got a few hours to find a snack and get back to the shuttle.
15:34Cool.
15:35I can figure this out.
15:39Take a shuttle, they said.
15:41Fly through gravity fields.
15:45It'll be fun, they said.
15:50Things are bad.
15:52Really.
15:53Really bad.
16:07Cave.
16:09Hollow.
16:11Anything.
16:27Leavers?
16:40You requested an hourly update.
16:42Sensor scans are still negative.
16:43Captain Constellation is requesting an update on our rendezvous.
16:47I've got it!
16:47Erica's alive!
16:48I picked up a faint mayday from the subspace buoy.
16:51Let's hear it.
16:52Hey, Lieutenant.
16:53The Federation Enterprise.
16:54I don't know where I'm going down.
16:57But I'm going to hear this.
16:59That's it.
17:00But it's definitely Erica.
17:02She made it through the wormhole and sent this message.
17:04It could also be a signal ghost reflected by the event horizon.
17:07Lieutenant Ortegas could have sent the message before she entered the wormhole.
17:10I know.
17:10Calm signals.
17:11This message was sent on the other side of the wormhole.
17:14Are you sure?
17:17Gravitometric refraction would negate our ability to verify these signals' exact point of origin.
17:25Captain, I know she's alive.
17:26I can feel it.
17:27We all want Ortegas to be alive, but we can't discount the possibility of the opposite, Neura.
17:36Sir, there's one way to be certain.
17:38We can send probes through the wormhole to strengthen our comms connection to Erica's shuttle.
17:43If she's there, if she's alive, we'll be able to contact her.
17:49Let's do it.
17:51Una, contact Captain Decker.
17:53Tell him we have an emergency situation, but we plan to rendezvous with Constellation on schedule.
17:57Aye, Captain.
18:25Hello?
18:27Hello?
18:28Hello?
18:28Are they home?
19:00Are they home?
19:39Are they home?
20:09Are they home?
20:27The wormhole's aperture is shrinking.
20:29Shrinking? Do we know why?
20:31We do not. But it is possible that the incursion of Vortegas' shuttle and our probes are the cause.
20:35So sending more probes could cause the wormhole to shrink even faster.
20:38Indeed. Or close completely.
20:40Right now, the aperture is still open. We just need to limit incursions.
20:45You just said we'd need 12 more probes.
20:47But a shuttle retrofitted with more powerful engines could do the job. Am I right?
20:53The probability of failure is greater than the possibility of success.
20:56But it is possible.
20:58Theoretically, yes. But it would require exact calculations.
21:02Theoretically possible.
21:04Captain, I have to advise against it.
21:06We've already lost one crew member.
21:09And we have to make our rendezvous.
21:11What are you saying, sir? That we should just give up on her?
21:14I care about Erica.
21:16Her life matters to me.
21:18But there are 4,000 colonists in need of a vaccine.
21:22Families with children.
21:254,000 lives against hers.
21:27I'm just asking for a little more time.
21:30I'll authorize the mission.
21:31Provided you can show me hard data on its potential success.
21:34You get four hours.
21:35If the numbers add up, I'll approve it.
21:38You'll have the proof you need, Captain.
21:40I promise.
21:48What would I give for a phaser?
22:12No way, damn it! Get it over with!
22:37No! No! No! Damn it!
22:41This is the 20th simulation. And the 20th failure.
22:46Computer, reset wormhole navigational simulation Chamelea Alpha 1.
22:53Ensign, based on these results, a successful rescue mission is a statistical improbability.
22:59It is illogical to continue, as the Captain will not authorize the mission without positive data.
23:04I have faith this can work.
23:07If you don't, you can go.
23:09But I'm staying.
23:14Computer, run simulation.
23:16Computer, run development.
23:28I'm next. Is that it?
23:36Oh, your leg is wr todos.
23:41Found your weak spot.
23:46If you want to eat me, you'll have to earn it.
24:04What is this?
24:06A trap?
24:08I go for the meat, you...
24:09You grab me, pull my legs off?
24:12But if you wanted to kill me, you could have...
24:14We've done that at the halls.
24:16What is this?
24:19What's happening?
24:25What the hell was it?
24:26I'm starving.
24:37Don't look at it.
24:40Just eat it.
25:00Get away from me.
25:21I think that's a Goron Conjury.
25:23I could use that.
25:49Once I figure how to fix this Conjury, I'll be able to signal our Surveillance Buoy, and hopefully
25:54we can kill the Enterprise on the other side of the world.
26:00What the hell is that?
26:34I don't know.
26:35I don't know.
27:01I don't know.
27:13All right, what do we got?
27:15Ensign Uhura has an intriguing, if an orthodox, plan.
27:18Mr. Spock doesn't believe that a shuttle can make it through the wormhole and return safely.
27:22And he's right.
27:24So I had to think outside of the box.
27:26Way outside.
27:27I ran every simulation and found the only viable way to successfully transit the gravity waves in search for Erica.
27:36We need to take Enterprise through the wormhole.
27:40Unorthodox is an understatement.
27:42In addition, Uhura's plan requires we create a stable warp field around the ship, effectively wedging the wormhole aperture open.
27:48What about the vaccines on board for Epsilon 93?
27:51We're not just going to be risking ourselves.
27:52I understand that.
27:54Which means we have enough time to try it once.
27:56You can pull the plug if it gets too risky.
27:57Can this really work?
27:58Using a starship to prop open a wormhole?
28:02Yes.
28:03In theory.
28:04When we're inside this thing, how about a signal interference?
28:06Scan capability needs to be above 60%.
28:1861%.
28:1961%.
28:20Okay.
28:23We've got a rescue mission.
28:25We've got a rescue mission.
28:44A personal deflector shield.
28:47Repurposed power source.
28:53So how's this sound?
28:54I wrap up your leg.
28:56You let me sleep here.
28:59And don't eat me.
29:01Deal?
29:08You want me to use this paste?
29:11Is it ground-up crystals?
29:29Sorry.
29:31Sorry.
29:35What the hell am I doing?
29:41Is it underwater?
29:45I don't know.
29:46I don't know.
29:54I don't know.
30:24You're welcome.
30:40I get it. You're no fan of fire.
30:43I need to cook this to eat it.
30:47Understand?
30:49You like pit monster sushi.
30:51I don't.
30:52I need fire.
30:53I'm hungry.
30:55I need fire.
30:58I need fire.
31:11I need fire.
31:13I need fire.
31:18I need fire.
31:20I need fire.
31:21That's your helmet?
31:22You're a pilot?
31:26Like me?
32:15Storm's over.
32:22Crap.
32:23It's shrinking?
32:26Somehow, I've gotta let Enterprise know I'm alive.
32:29I need to repair your comms here.
32:31To do that, I'm gonna need your help.
32:39You growling and me playing charades isn't gonna cut it.
32:42We need to be able to communicate.
32:51Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
32:58I think I know what I'm doing.
33:03Not exactly a universal translator, but better than nothing.
33:07It should give yes or no responses.
33:11Agree.
33:13Wait, how'd you know what I was saying?
33:21You understand me.
33:23Agree.
33:24You study your prey.
33:29Disagree.
33:32You want to understand your enemy.
33:36Agree.
33:38Let's try a different question.
33:40Do you like it here?
33:44Disagree.
33:46Second that.
33:48Are you male?
33:51Disagree.
33:53Female?
33:55Agree.
33:56Look at us.
33:58Just a couple of girls having a slumber party.
34:01We could braid each other's hair.
34:03If you had any.
34:04Or if I had any.
34:06I can't believe I'm joking with the corn.
34:14Here we are.
34:16Two pilots stranded on a flying tombstone.
34:20It's a miracle you've been able to survive this frickin' death moon all alone.
34:25Agree.
34:30Just playing chess with a Gorn.
34:32The Queen.
34:36Like this.
34:39No.
34:41Only a knight can jump over other pieces.
34:45Got it?
34:50Feel like you've played chess before.
35:03You've beaten me three games straight.
35:05Wait.
35:06Are you hustling me?
35:10You carved these out of creatures' bones?
35:13Agree.
35:25Mama needs a new shuttlecraft.
35:28Ha ha!
35:30I won.
35:31I won?
35:32Ha!
35:38You want me to eat it?
35:41Is that what the winner does?
35:42The winner eats the final captured piece?
35:46Agree.
35:47No.
35:47I don't agree.
35:49It's a game.
35:51Not a food girl.
35:58All right.
35:59I'll get your scales in an uproar.
36:05Mm!
36:09Mm-hmm.
36:44Hey, you want to help me here?
36:46It's your gear.
36:47We make an SOS beacon.
36:49There's a chance we can be rescued.
36:52I know my people.
36:55They're searching for me.
37:20I, uh, do this for luck when I fly.
37:28Means we'll make it home.
37:42Whoo! Hell yeah!
37:44Chalk up another W for the home team.
37:47Whoo!
37:49Whoo!
37:56I'm bowled over by your enthusiasm.
37:58It's working!
38:00Once it's recharged, we can get a signal.
38:02Maybe get off this rock.
38:10The damn thing keeps getting smaller.
38:13There's something else going on.
38:15Why didn't my sensors detect the wormhole before it showed up?
38:18Why didn't my tricorder pick up your shelter?
38:23And what is with those strange flashes of light?
38:28You know that vibe in the air?
38:30Right before flying into battle?
38:32You're in the clear, but somehow you can't shake the feeling.
38:37Like you're being watched.
38:52Disagree.
38:52Your wounds are infected.
38:53I need to get you more crystals.
38:55Disagree.
38:57Disagree.
38:58If this infection spreads, it will kill you.
39:01This weird goo is the only stuff that slows it down.
39:07Disagree.
39:09Disagree.
39:09Disagree.
39:12Disagree.
39:21Broken.
39:22Disagree.ểm.
39:23You think you're too broken to fix.
39:32I've seen the Gorn destroy their own ship
39:33because they thought it was weak.
39:39So for you, rescue's a death sentence.
39:43Okay. So what?
39:45You'll come with us.
39:47Show my people who you really are like you've shown me.
39:52We can work this out.
39:54I know it.
39:58Disagree.
39:59So you are not giving up.
40:02You're not dying. Not here. Not now.
40:08I won't let you.
40:11Disagree.
40:14Disagree.
40:17Disagree.
40:23Sensor readings will be unreliable.
40:25To navigate through the gravity field,
40:26we must be on manual control.
40:28Other than Ortegas, I am the best pilot on the ship.
40:30Never heard that one before.
40:32Sir.
40:38Gravimetric pressure increasing.
40:55Engaging full impulse.
40:59Odds are in our favor. We can do this.
41:01Scannability is 61%.
41:28We are stationary in the wormhole.
41:30How's our static warp field?
41:31Stable.
41:32We are stationary in the wormhole.
41:32But the wormhole is exerting increasing gravimetric pressure.
41:34Well, we are the peach pit stuck in its throat.
41:37If we ever stay, the Enterprise will be crushed by the aperture.
41:40Luna, we know when we hit the red line?
41:41Aye, Captain.
41:42All sensors are trained on the gas giant.
41:44And its moons.
41:45There are lots of them.
41:48396 to be exact.
41:49I'm picking up Ortegas' mayday.
41:52It doesn't specify where she might have crashed.
42:00Scanning 396 moons will take longer than we have to make the rendezvous.
42:04We're a monitor all frequencies for any comms.
42:06Spock, start scanning moons.
42:08Begin with closest.
42:08Maybe we'll get lucky.
42:19I see you.
42:21Whatever you are.
42:23Always in the right place.
42:25At the wrong time.
42:28So what do you want?
43:04That battery was charging the comms array.
43:09And powering the shield.
43:12Without it, we've got no protection from the creatures.
43:17Or from the orbital storm.
43:22I just killed us.
43:32Once we hit the storm's horizon, pit things will come out and tear us to shreds.
43:36And if somehow we survive that, then we choke and die in a toxic hurricane.
43:44I agree.
43:53The flare.
43:56The flare.
43:58The flare.
44:00Yes.
44:02When the atmospheres collide, the air is gonna be flammable.
44:05Oh, but we don't have much time.
44:07Almost none.
44:10We need to make something that will ignite part of the gas giant's atmosphere.
44:14So we can create a burning SOS across the face of the planet.
44:18I agree.
44:19No, no, this is doable.
44:20I know my people.
44:21I know they're looking for me.
44:23But to ignite the air, we'll need the storm to be right on top of us.
44:28I disagree.
44:28Which also means we'll be exposed to a big, fiery kaboom.
44:33Oh, great.
44:34That's funny.
44:35Yes, I know.
44:35I get it.
44:36It's a huge gamble.
44:37But it's how we get a chance to live.
44:42Please.
44:43Help me.
44:45Save us.
44:55Yes!
44:56A thruster pack with propellant in the tank.
44:58If we launch it right when the storm hits, there's our kaboom.
45:01There's no way they'll miss it.
45:04But if we pull this off, we're at the center of a giant fireball.
45:18I thought I had a rough landing.
45:20It's part of the heat shield from your escape pod.
45:23I know you hate to admit it, but you like this plan.
45:27Yes, I.
45:34Yes, I see it.
45:36Yes, I see it.
45:37Just sit there and keep touching me.
45:42It's fine.
45:59You're right.
46:02We're toast.
46:03I give up.
46:08It's pointless.
46:09Yes.
46:19Disagree.
46:32The enemy of my enemy.
46:33Disagree.
46:36Friend.
46:38Agree.
47:04Hopefully there's enough power in these crystals for a launch.
47:07When it does, things will go boom.
47:09No.
47:09We just have to time it right.
47:11Or we die.
47:13All right, Enterprise.
47:14Let's light this candle.
47:23Damn it.
47:25I have to go launch it manually.
47:28Disagree.
47:28No time to argue.
47:31Disagree.
47:32Disagree.
47:33Disagree.
47:34Disagree.
47:37Disagree.
47:38Disagree.
47:39Disagree.
47:52Disagree.
48:02Disagree.
48:04Disagree.
48:09Disagree.
48:10Disagree.
48:10Disagree.
48:25You said you wanted to be told
48:26when we hit the red line.
48:28Here it is.
48:33Captain, I have to tell you.
48:34I know you've heard the numbers,
48:36Nyota.
48:39Doesn't matter.
48:41I would have searched for her anyway.
48:45Blurring the rules, that is new for you,
48:46but it's not bad for the right reasons.
48:52Thank you, Captain.
48:55Spock, anything?
48:56We've scanned 146 moons.
48:58All negative.
48:59I'm sorry, Chris, we've run out of time.
49:00Erika may or may not be alive,
49:02but if we don't get out of this wormhole,
49:03we risk the entire crew and the colonists.
49:11All right.
49:12Prepare to reverse course.
49:25Captain, I am picking up an anomalous reading
49:27from one of the unscanned moons.
49:28It is an unusual atmospheric eruption.
49:31On screen, magnify.
49:41What is that?
49:42Scans indicate it is a volatile explosion.
49:44Yes!
49:46It's her!
49:49That's her!
49:50Only Erika would be crazy enough
49:51to set a planet on fire to get our attention.
49:54Lon, take a landing party to the surface.
49:56Bring Lieutenant Ortega's home.
49:57With pleasure, sir.
50:21Over there.
50:30Erika!
50:34No!
50:35No!
50:37Erika, are you all right?
50:39Why?
50:42Why?
50:43Why?
50:44Lieutenant.
50:45No, no.
50:46No, I'm not talking to you.
50:47There has to be some reason.
50:49Where are you?
50:50Who's behind this?
50:52You hear me?
50:52Straight, sparkle thing.
50:54I can feel you're watching.
50:56Now come and face me!
50:58Are you there?
51:00What do you want?
51:01Enterprise, FEMA's up now.
51:03You're here now.
51:04I'm here.
51:14I'm here.
51:19I'm here.
51:24I'm here.
51:26I'm here now.
51:33Hello, Lieutenant Erykara, take us.
51:36I have taken on this form so that we may more easily communicate.
51:39Who are you?
51:42We are the Retrons.
51:44We've inhabited this region of space since long before your species walked upright.
51:51Why did you do this to us?
51:54Curiosity.
51:55Curiosity!
51:56Human, a gorn.
51:58Two barbaric species, each determined to destroy the other.
52:03But what could happen if you were forced together, with the need to survive?
52:09We found the idea of such an experiment intriguing.
52:13This was more than that.
52:16When you first arrived, this creature didn't need you to survive.
52:20It kept you alive because it was lonely.
52:23And you?
52:24You managed to work past your pain and trauma.
52:27There is hope for your two species.
52:29Pardon me for saying, but I don't care what you think.
52:34The violent reaction of your fellow human has even as much to consider.
52:40We need more data to determine if the human and the gorn will ever find peace.
52:52What are they telling you?
52:54You are now ready to meet us.
52:56You won't remember me.
52:58And perhaps someday.
52:59We may need to reset your perception of the gorn as well.
53:04What will I remember?
53:05What you experienced.
53:07It was genuine.
53:09You may keep it.
53:37Come in.
53:42Erika?
53:45I saw you in the transporter room, but there were so many people I didn't want it.
53:50I know what you did to get me back.
53:57Oh, you smell awesome.
54:03I would have stopped into the local spa, but it was closed.
54:11What you had to face down there.
54:15What happened to the gorn?
54:17She kept me alive.
54:19She saved me.
54:21She was my friend.
54:24Lon is my friend, too.
54:27I don't know what to do with that.
54:29They both wanted to protect you.
54:31So what do I do now?
54:34You remember her.
54:45Nothing.
54:46I'm sorry.
54:47I'm sorry.
