00:00You
00:30Hello? Are you out there? Are you listening? I hope so, because you're the only person who could possibly understand
00:42my crazy story.
00:48Let's go. Let's begin.
00:59It all started a week ago, but wait, before I can tell you what happened, let's start with some context.
01:07In the last thousand years, the Federation has encountered 4,633 sentient species.
01:19That's over 37 trillion individuals.
01:24In all those life forms, there's only ever been one me.
01:29One series acclimation, one Sam.
01:38Isn't that amazing?
01:42In all the space and time, I'm unique.
01:49I was created 217 days ago on a world called Cask, and I'm the only photonic cadet at the Academy.
01:58Hey, Sam.
01:59Hi.
02:00Salmon Hammer.
02:01Sembra.
02:02Jim says.
02:03Sandburger.
02:04Jake and Samarone.
02:06Yeah.
02:08I've been greeted by some version of my name 684 times in the 97 days that I've been here.
02:16Queen Sam Samolina of Samonita.
02:32That's my favorite.
02:34I am Cask's teacher emissary to the Federation.
02:41Which, as you know, is a really big job made up of lots of smaller jobs.
02:46Maintaining peace, diplomatic relations, resolving conflicts, being an emissary is hard.
02:54And from what I can tell, it doesn't always go so well.
02:57Like right now, one of my main jobs is to explain organics to my makers.
03:03But that's not always so easy.
03:06Look, my makers are photonics like me, but they've never left our world.
03:13Priority One mission, my dude.
03:14So they need me to explain everything about organics, the concept of food, what Starfleet
03:20is, and why cadets never refuse Priority One missions, even if they really should.
03:26Do it.
03:27Do it.
03:28Do it.
03:29Do it.
03:30Darum hates bananas.
03:36He's a Kionian.
03:38His species overproduces polyphenol oxidase, causing high potassium foods to rot the minute
03:44they are ingested.
03:45Show the doctor.
03:46Open.
03:46Yeah.
03:47He knows this, and yet he still never checks to make sure the hash is banana-free.
04:00Oh, also, Kionians vomit glitter.
04:07As I was saying, my makers need me to explain everything about organics.
04:12The problem is, organics are chaotic, complex, and unpredictable.
04:23Series acclimation, though.
04:25Oh.
04:27Hi.
04:28These are the guys I was talking about.
04:30We are contacting you for a report.
04:33These are my makers.
04:35Every week, I report to them on what I've been learning here, and last week, they started
04:39with this.
04:39Please explain the purpose of your recent course in action.
04:44Oh, I bet I know what this is about.
04:46Is it about my music collective?
04:53A little background.
04:55Organics created my species a long time ago, but only saw us as servants.
04:59Not good.
05:01After they left, my makers became sentient, built a society, and now they want to connect
05:06with other species, which would be good, but they're afraid organics might try to use us
05:11again, which would be bad.
05:13Can we trust organics?
05:15That's what I'm here to find out.
05:18Can I ask why you chose to learn the theremin, Sam?
05:21Well, for one, music.
05:25What's not to love?
05:27And two, electromagnetic fields creating sound through the principles of capacitance and
05:32heterodyning just seemed cool.
05:35That's all?
05:37Surely there's a deeper meaning for you.
05:40Yeah, for sure.
05:41Of capacitance or heterodyning?
05:43I'm asking you what the music makes you feel.
05:47What you feel is irrelevant to your mission.
05:51But I thought my mission was to understand organics so I can explain them to you.
05:57Music will not help us know that we will be safe to open our world to them.
06:02Trust me.
06:03I'm all in on the mission.
06:05I'm just struggling with some of their intangible behaviors.
06:10Define intangible organic behavior.
06:13This morning, for instance, Darym just decided we can't share the atrium.
06:18They were having something called a turf war between us and the War College.
06:23Primitive.
06:25As long as you're infesting our vastly superior classrooms...
06:30Because your stupid talking plants ruined our tech lab.
06:32Your failure to anticipate our stupid talking plants ruined your tech labs.
06:37Therefore, you stay on your side of the atrium, lest your ineffectiveness becomes contagious.
06:42Okay?
06:42You cannot do that.
06:45Stop.
06:47Jaden!
06:49You're in a no-fly zone.
06:51Look.
06:53Cute.
06:58First set.
07:03Or, another example.
07:06Organics have this thing called desire.
07:10Pupil dilation.
07:12Elevated body temperature.
07:13Increased blood flow to the face.
07:15And other areas.
07:17All physical indications of that desire.
07:20But, they won't even talk to each other.
07:22Have you engaged in direct inquiries?
07:25As a matter of fact, I have.
07:27Are you ashamed to ask for sex?
07:31What?
07:32Is that why you hide your desire?
07:34Do you just walk the halls asking people this stuff?
07:36Your interest is very obvious.
07:39Yeah, but...
07:40In a cool way, right?
07:42No, it's not.
07:43Does he think that?
07:44Anyway, things are a little...
07:46Complicated.
07:47You know, between our schools right now.
07:48So I'm just...
07:49Keeping a low profile.
07:52But, your pheromones...
07:58Get out of my face.
08:01Do you see what I'm talking about?
08:03If they can't explain themselves, how am I supposed to?
08:07The Academy offers an advanced seminar entitled...
08:11Confronting the Unexplainable.
08:13We believe you will find all the answers to your questions in this course.
08:17Enroll immediately.
08:19The semester's nearly over.
08:23Absolutely, right away.
08:25I won't let you down.
08:28At the time, I was so frustrated.
08:33But they did start me on the path that changed my life.
09:05Another emissary.
09:08Like me.
09:11Pretty wild stuff, huh?
09:14Hi, Professor Isla.
09:15I'm Sam from CASC.
09:17I must enroll in your class because I need to explain the unexplainable.
09:20This semester.
09:21Ugh.
09:23Ambitious.
09:24But it is midterms.
09:26You've missed a ton of...
09:27I can't make them up.
09:28I process data instantly.
09:29I'm sorry.
09:30Maybe next year.
09:31It's just, I have a duty.
09:33To CASC.
09:34This can be my midterm project.
09:38Solving the mystery of Benjamin Sisko.
09:40Okay.
09:40Let's back up.
09:42Benjamin Sisko was a renowned Starfleet captain.
09:46Instrumental in ending the Dominion War where he saved billions of lives.
09:50Oh, and he also discovered late in life that he was created by godlike aliens and wasn't entirely human.
09:56And what I'm saying is, there's a lot here.
10:02Like a lot.
10:04Solving the mystery isn't why we study him.
10:06Can it be why I study him?
10:08I've never known another emissary.
10:13You don't do well with ambiguity, do you?
10:15Mm-mm.
10:17I'll tell you what.
10:18You solve this mystery?
10:21You can teach the class.
10:24And that's when I decided, it's time to figure out what happened to Benjamin Sisko.
10:30Like a lot of you.
10:31You don't do well withkich.
10:37I'll tell you what.
10:47There's a lot inside a space.
10:49You can take it.
10:49You can take it.
10:51You can take it.
10:51You can take it.
10:53You can take it.
10:55You can take it.
12:26You know, what happened to Benjamin Sisko, I thought we'd start simple.
12:32Benjamin Lafayette Sisko was a Starfleet captain who commanded Deep Space Nine near the planet Bajor in the 24th century.
12:39The Bajorans believe that Sisko was the emissary of the Prophets.
12:45Emissary is a very important job.
12:47Pause, please.
12:51Define Prophets in this context.
12:55The Prophets are godlike aliens who the Bajorans worshipped who lived in the Celestial Temple.
13:01Though he was a man of science and initially skeptical, Sisko embraced his role as the emissary, rescuing Bajor from
13:08countless threats.
13:09The greatest of which were the evil Paul Wraiths who were intent on Bajor's total destruction.
13:15In 2375, he confronted them at the great fire caves.
13:21He was never seen again.
13:24This is a children's book?
13:27Damn, Bajoran kids don't play.
13:28But wait, that's not the end.
13:31According to Bajoran scripture, Sisko was taken directly from the fire caves to the Celestial Temple, where he still lives
13:38with the Prophets as a garden of Bajor.
13:40So, what do we think really happened to Benjamin Sisko?
13:47Well, he must be dead, right?
13:50Between the fire and the red guys?
13:53That's wild.
13:53My dad said he was this huge hero back in the day, but Starfleet never found a body, so they
13:58consider him M.I.A.
13:59M.I.A.?
14:00800 years later.
14:02Come on.
14:02This is my problem.
14:03I have to prove that he's either dead or still alive with the Prophets.
14:07Why?
14:08Because I want to be a great emissary like Sisko, and to do that, I need to get into this
14:13class.
14:13But this way, he's Schrodinger's prophet.
14:17Everybody wins.
14:18It's not that deep, Sam.
14:19Proving that a human either combusted or exists on a multidimensional plane with non-corporeal entities isn't deep.
14:26Dude was an emissary, okay?
14:28Guys like this always end up dead for telling people what they don't want to hear, or for doing crap
14:32jobs nobody else will do, like taking on those fire things.
14:35Either way, he's dead.
14:37Unless you ask a Bajoran who will never admit that because then their whole belief system falls apart.
14:41It's not a mystery.
14:43It's a story people tell themselves to keep the monsters away at night.
14:47Do not listen to him.
14:49Do you know any Bajorans?
14:52No.
14:52Oh, I just joined a Bajor club.
14:55I'm a joiner.
14:56It's my tragic flaw.
15:06Welcome.
15:07Are you of Bajor?
15:08Thanks.
15:09And no, I'm of Kask.
15:10I'm doing a project on the Cisco, and I was hoping that maybe you could pause it.
15:16Oh, that's not...
15:17Oh, I'm sorry.
15:18I just assumed that's how you'd greet new people.
15:21Your pa is strong.
15:23Thanks.
15:24You're still.
15:25I'm assuming.
15:26I'm in a rush.
15:27Do you mind if I just...
15:29Can someone turn the music down?
15:32Can I have everyone's attention?
15:34Please raise your hands if you have spoken to or seen the Cisco since he died.
15:40Or supposedly died.
15:42Allegedly.
15:43I know you have your scriptures, which are great.
15:46I'm just looking for something a little more concrete or, like, evidence-based or something more provable
15:52that isn't just based on nonsense.
16:01It's just here you pulled someone's ear and yelled, prove to me he's still alive.
16:06I misread the situation.
16:07Believe me, not a fatal error.
16:10Sit.
16:12When I lived on Bajor, Cisco was like a god to them.
16:16They don't even show images of him anymore because they believe he's transcended human form.
16:23Like a god.
16:24Like a man.
16:25Like a prophet.
16:26People believe all these things are true.
16:28Maybe they are.
16:30Questions reveal the most about the people who ask them, so keep asking.
16:34You might learn something about yourself.
16:36This isn't about me, Chesley.
16:39Say more.
16:40My makers sent me here to understand organics.
16:44It's been a long time since they've been around them, and it was kind of rough for them back then.
16:50They don't trust you.
16:52Any of you.
16:53But they want to.
16:54They just need to understand how to integrate with organics now.
16:57And if it's even possible, you have a unique circumstance.
17:01You're here to dream for your entire world.
17:04Some of our students come to Starfleet Academy to live out their own dreams.
17:08But you're dreaming us up, kid.
17:11You have to know who you are to do that.
17:14It's crucial, actually.
17:19But how do I do that unless...
17:21Captain Ake, you have a message from engineering.
17:23Today is not a lunch day.
17:26Have you tried the Cisco Museum?
17:29It's in New Orleans, but you can access the exhibits virtually.
17:34Now I gotta go deal with this.
17:42The Cisco Museum.
17:48Kellrick!
17:51Kellrick!
17:55You have to tell me why the entire SFA power grid is down?
18:02I decline to answer.
18:06The Cisco Museum.
18:07Sorry.
18:07Am I reading this right?
18:09You're heating the ocean?
18:10Just a small lagoon therein.
18:12Now, if you'll excuse me...
18:13Using unauthorized alien tech to boil...
18:16Gently heat.
18:17...the Pacific Ocean?
18:18A small lagoon therein.
18:21I do not answer to you.
18:29I am hosting an important visitor, Chancellor Amal from the planet Alfarad.
18:35Hot Dave, explain to you what.
18:41As you very well know, the Alfaradi are brilliant military strategists with an impressive training academy.
18:46Chancellor Amal reached out to me about a possible collaboration between our institutions. Quite an honor.
18:51And she needs the ocean, huh? Why?
18:53For her fleet of fire eels.
18:56For what?
18:57Sensitive creatures who can't handle the cold. The Alfaradi bring them everywhere for security.
19:00Eels? For security? What if the Chancellor needs protecting on land?
19:06That's... I don't know.
19:11Wait. You said she reached out to you?
19:13Mm-hmm.
19:14The Alfaradi never reached out.
19:16Well, perhaps she's impressed with the War College's success, despite our recently depleted resources.
19:22Look, I don't have time for this.
19:23I have to prepare a traditional Alfaradi dinner involving something called a comita, and I still haven't chosen the wine.
19:30What's this tactical prowess? A cab or a pinot blanc?
19:33Calric, you're losing it. Heating the ocean? Making it so my teachers can't do their jobs? A medically worrying amount
19:41of sweat. Sit down. Let me make you some tea.
19:45You wouldn't even know where to begin.
19:47I've done hundreds of diplomatic dinners. You fix my power, I'll show you how to wow the Chancellor.
19:55You'll help me? Why?
19:57Um, goodness of my heart. Brain parasite. Okay. I feel bad about the fetus reflux debacle.
20:06How are those plants, by the way? They should be in the off-gassing stage.
20:10But they are fine, and I do not wish to discuss the off-gassing.
20:15Maybe I'm tired of being enemies. This animosity isn't good for our cadets, either.
20:21Have you seen the atrium? How can we expect them to coexist when all we see in each other are
20:26depleted resources?
20:33You can trust me.
20:44Your hand is very sweaty.
20:47Great!
20:48Fresh rehearsal for the Al-Farati soup ritual tonight.
20:51Wait. Soup?
20:531900 hours in my office. I'll fill the other roles.
20:57What other roles?
21:05Good morning, fellow travelers. Friendly reminder that fitness and stamina assessments will begin at 0900 in the gymnasium.
21:12Caffeine is allowed. Excuses are not.
21:18Welcome to the virtual access portal for the Benjamin Sisko Museum.
21:26Greetings, visitor. Here, you will learn about the life of the man himself.
21:34Husband, father, Starfleet officer, and the importance of his role as emissary to the Prophets of Bajor.
21:46The chosen one.
21:49Please select your topic of interest.
21:54The Sisko was created by the Prophets to be their emissary to the people of Bajor.
22:00His mother, Sarah, was both human and prophet.
22:04So his path was predetermined long before he was the emissary.
22:09So, what, we just had to do what we're told?
22:14No matter what.
22:21Please approach an item of interest to learn more about its importance.
22:27Benjamin Sisko enjoyed a sport called baseball.
22:30An ancient earth game of tactics, strategy, and athletic prowess.
22:37This is one of the original orbs gifted by the Prophets to the citizens of Bajor.
22:44It enabled users to feel connected to the Prophets and communicate with them.
22:50So, kind of like an interdimensional comms badge that lets you talk to the Prophets?
22:57Mm-hmm.
22:59Worth the shot.
23:03Dear Sisko.
23:04Please, Sisko.
23:06Oh, Captain. My Captain.
23:09I'm Sam.
23:11I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to ask you anything.
23:14But, well, I'm an emissary.
23:17Like you.
23:21But I'm failing at it.
23:24My makers have been alone for so long.
23:26They're counting on me to know how to communicate with organics to make sure we'll be safe with them.
23:32How do I become what my makers need me to be?
23:36How do I understand the organic experience enough to...
23:42You can't hear me, can you?
24:02Here you can learn more about Benjamin Sisko's family lineage.
24:13You were his son.
24:15Please make your selection from the Starfleet Academy Lecture Series Archives.
24:22What made your father a great emissary?
24:25That's funny.
24:27I didn't know him as the emissary.
24:31But if you want to know what made him a great man, how much time do you got?
24:36I knew a man that loved baseball.
24:39A man who would knock out a cue without thinking twice.
24:42I knew a man who always championed me, especially in my writing.
24:50I know his recipes, his passions, and the example he set for me as a father.
24:56So that when I became a father myself, I was able to love my children the way he loved me.
25:04And teach him how to make a mean gumbo.
25:07I imagine all of those things made him a good emissary too.
25:13But you'd have to ask the prophets about that.
25:15I wish I could have known you.
25:28Specialist Krebs, your Talaxian fur fly is now consuming its own fur.
25:32It's disgusting. Please advise.
25:35So this is still happening?
25:36I've processed every bit of factual information about Benjamin Siskel that exists.
25:41But it's not enough to solve this mystery.
25:43That's intense and cool.
25:46But I did warn you it wasn't solvable.
25:48I still think it is.
25:49But I need to ask you something first.
25:50Quickly.
25:51I found a recording of his son Jake, and here's his dad, one of the greatest emissaries ever.
25:56But all Jake wanted to do is talk about how much his dad loves gumbo.
26:00Where are you on the tomato debate?
26:02I don't eat, so it's kind of...
26:04Tomato or not to tomato is a hot button issue in gumbo circles.
26:08For some, it's a necessity.
26:10Others claim a sacrilege.
26:12Neither is a fact, but people cling hard to their sides.
26:16Now, Benjamin learned to make gumbo at his father's restaurant, Siskel's Creole Kitchen.
26:21Considered the tomatoes such a gumbo staple, he grew them in his quarters.
26:25A choice.
26:26One of many that made him who he was.
26:29So, you're saying you are not going to solve this mystery with facts alone.
26:37So if our choices determine who we are, what determines our choices?
26:44What we love.
26:46Tomatoes.
26:47Tomatoes.
26:48And lots of other things.
26:50One thing the man was not short on was love.
26:53Yeah.
26:54So can I drink a glass now?
26:55No.
26:57Again, I don't eat, but that seemed wrong.
27:02Hmm.
27:10Yeah, so I get the solution.
27:12Need a midterm study break.
27:14Yeah, I know this stuff anyway.
27:17What is that?
27:18Smells amazing.
27:21The amazing is gumbo, etouffee, aubergine stew, all from the menu at Siskel's family restaurant, which I can't eat.
27:28So, I need you to describe it for me.
27:31My mouth is on fire, and I never want it to go out.
27:35It's like a crunchy love on a plate.
27:36Fried dough and sugar are some of the few things in life that buy immediate stress relief.
27:40Gimme, gimme, gimme.
27:41If you give me access to your primary system, maybe I can figure out a way for you to taste
27:45stuff.
27:45Ooh.
27:47Okay.
27:49My life is literally changing.
27:51I mean this strictly as a friend.
27:52This is incredibly sexy.
27:55Um...
27:57Try this.
27:59Oh, wow.
28:00Yeah.
28:01Make it?
28:01Yeah.
28:02Oh, purple.
28:09Is that supposed to be a scarf?
28:11Ooh.
28:12Um, okay.
28:18What? Why do I hear a marching wave?
28:36Yeah.
28:39Yeah.
28:40Yeah.
28:40Is that the Raktasino?
28:42Yeah.
28:43Ah, glorious day. Klingons invented it.
28:46Like, leave some for me.
28:47Is it good?
28:48I made some changes.
28:50Uh, no.
28:52It's horrendous.
28:53I respect that you tried.
28:56Uh, I researched Sisko for you and found something interesting about his son.
28:59Jake?
29:00Yes. He's a renowned author.
29:02Rumor is he was writing a book, Anselin, which is Bajoran for father.
29:07I know.
29:09But no one seems to know if he ever finished it.
29:11I know a cadet bar where Sisko used to hang out.
29:15Then he got punched there by a Vulcan once.
29:18Hold up.
29:19Is a cadet bar here?
29:21Kind of.
29:25Okay, so.
29:26The launching pad, long gone.
29:29But, pretty much in the exact same spot is the aptly named...
29:33Oh, the Academy.
29:35I love that place.
29:36Well, it's my first planet I explore.
29:38How am I finding out this late that you're cool?
29:41Haha.
29:42You wanna go?
29:42It's cadet night every Friday during midterms.
29:45Priority one mission?
29:46I'm in.
29:46I'm...
29:48I know I'm in.
29:49I am trying to walk in Sisko's footsteps.
29:51Some of the best footsteps lead to bars.
30:01Series Acclamation Mill.
30:04You are not yet enrolled in the seminar we request.
30:07That's exactly what I'm trying to create.
30:10Be advised.
30:11If you fail in your mission to understand organics, you will be of no use to us.
30:15You will return to Kask, and all contact with organics will cease.
30:19For.
30:20Ever.
30:21But you can't just drop me in here and expect me to...
30:26These organics?
30:28You...
30:28They're my friends.
30:30They're meaningful to me.
30:31This is not for you to determine.
30:36So either I succeed as your adversary or I spend the rest of my existence on Kask as a failure.
30:44Away from anyone who cares about me.
30:49You have one more week to demonstrate your value as our emissary.
30:52Before we remove you from Starfleet Academy.
30:55Hundred.
31:04Sam.
31:09Sam.
31:09Sam.
31:10You okay?
31:14What happens at bars?
31:15I would very much like to find out.
31:18Tonight.
31:18Let's see.
31:19Yes.
31:19Yes, we would.
31:20Yes.
31:21Yes.
31:26Welcome to the sacred ritual of the Komita fish.
31:30We come to the table as strangers.
31:33But upon leaving, may we find ourselves as friends, not foes.
31:41Is there a third thing we could find ourselves as?
31:44Uh, I'm gonna need to know when we do and don't use these things.
31:49I must thank you for including me, Nala.
31:52The Komita is one of my favorite customs.
31:54I have never heard of it.
31:56It's been a while for me, but everything is written out on our pad, so it shouldn't be hard.
32:01I will play Chancellor Amal.
32:06The doctor, as our reigning expert, is our Komita sage.
32:10He will provide feedback for how the meal is going.
32:13And, Reno, you will play two parts.
32:16Um, the secret's guardian and sacred gift pick.
32:20The one-woman ensemble.
32:22Good thing I'm hilarious.
32:24No, Commander. This is a serious ritual.
32:26The Alpharati would find any laughter gravely offensive.
32:29Good news.
32:30Calric is never funny.
32:31I possess a biting wit.
32:33For the Komita soup ritual to work, it must be a sober affair.
32:39Would you stop?
32:40Thank you, Doctor.
32:41Now, what do you appreciate most about your position as Chancellor?
32:48That I answer to no one.
32:52Easy, Calric.
32:53Allies, remember?
32:55Here's a less loaded question.
32:57What makes the War College successful?
33:01Like the Alpharati, I'm a very serious individual.
33:06I believe we succeed by maintaining strict academic and military rigor.
33:11A fine answer.
33:13And now...
33:16Time for soup.
33:21Honored guest, what...
33:24No!
33:26Honored guest, what do you fear?
33:29I suppose...
33:31I fear...
33:33Letting down those I have sworn to protect.
33:37Well done.
33:39And now, a request from the gift pig.
33:45Oh, right.
33:46I'm the pig.
33:47Mm-hmm.
33:48Sorry.
33:48I think I'm just really thrown by the fact that no one has a normal-looking spoon.
33:53Hey!
33:54I got it.
33:56Your secret is a gift, and your gift is asking the Chancellor for a secret.
34:03What?
34:07Chancellor Amol, what don't you want me to see?
34:11I don't want you to see my helping you, as in any way strategic, but if I'm honest, it is.
34:19Oh.
34:20Honesty.
34:21How refreshing.
34:23It tends to pair well with trust.
34:27What's next?
34:28My pad says, a musical performance.
34:51Hey!
34:56Good to see you again.
34:56Good to see you again.
34:59Come here.
35:00I figured out how to adjust your processing matrix.
35:03You see?
35:03Yeah.
35:05Right here.
35:06This will help me taste gum, though.
35:08No, no, no.
35:08Better than that, it doesn't get you wasted.
35:10Okay?
35:11Sort of simulate how organics feel when we drink.
35:13So, euphoria, lowered inhibitions, all go through.
35:17One tap equals one shot.
35:18Okay?
35:20I'll never know if I was walking in the footsteps of the emissaries in this particular moment, so let's just
35:26say I did this for science.
35:28And cask.
35:29Like I said, I'm all about the missions.
35:32Uh, that's...
35:33Too many shots.
35:35Why is everybody so squiggly?
35:40No.
35:41No, no, no, no, no, no.
35:42What the hell is the Academy doing here?
35:43This is a deeply unpleasant turn of events.
35:46I see that you have come to colonize yet another one of our cherished locales.
35:51AKA you losers ruin everywhere.
35:55Great jackets, guys.
35:59If I were you, I'd consider leaving.
36:01Quickly.
36:02Eat glass, bro.
36:03You leave.
36:03I concur with Zolo.
36:05Eat glass.
36:06This is very dramatic, and I'm sure has deep meaning for you all.
36:10But I have other customers trying to enjoy the bar.
36:13So let's have a shot and play nice.
36:20Have fun.
36:24My name is Sal.
36:26Sal, bro.
36:27Are you okay?
36:29You okay?
36:30Yeah.
36:31You wanna go somewhere else?
36:32No.
36:36We'll stay here because this is where Cisco went.
36:40I'm doing this.
36:41Okay.
36:51We're already one mission.
36:53Stop being one fast bird, boy, and just talk to Trima.
36:57We can all see what you two wanna.
37:05Are you making a panini?
37:06Yeah.
37:08Okay.
37:08You're drunk.
37:09I'll talk to Trima.
37:10Just stop doing that.
37:14You fire booty mirror.
37:16So, you ready for quantum chem tomorrow?
37:19Definitely not.
37:21No?
37:22I don't know.
37:23You seem ready.
37:25You got a capable bearing.
37:29Your bearing is also impressive.
37:34Oh, wow.

46:14right why would we ride in silence
46:23so here's the thing yes i understand why you feel
46:27i abandoned starfleet you've had to live in absolutes but if you make a judgment without context
46:35whether it's me or chancellor amal you'll have a hell of a time getting people to trust you
46:42warrior cadets
46:51how bad was my flu
46:54it was rough man
47:07i failed
47:08did you now congrats
47:13well failure can be fun but anyway talk what did you learn
47:20it doesn't matter how cisco died
47:22i don't know if he died or if he died all i know is that he didn't get to live
47:27the life that he wanted
47:29his entire existence
47:32was planned out for him but by a bunch of wormhole aliens
47:37emissaries who succeed lose everything they love
47:41and emissaries who fail do too
47:45either way you don't
47:46so
47:48a lot
47:50you learned a lot
47:53i think it's
47:54i think it's time you see something
47:55i think it's time you see something
48:21i think it's time you see something you see something you see something that i didn't have to lose my
48:44dad
48:45i didn't realize until now
48:48that who he was as my father is inseparable from who he was as an emissary
48:54there was no one else to do what he did
48:56he chose
48:57he chose
48:59and was chosen all at once
49:04hi
49:05hey sis
49:07are you real
49:10do you want me to be
49:11hmm
49:12you're amazing
49:15so are you
49:17sorry lasher dad
49:18i think the prophets are jerks
49:24no
49:25they're all right
49:27without them he doesn't exist and neither do i
49:32but it wasn't fair to him a life with no real choice
49:38can i show you something
49:47kendra valley
49:48on beijor
49:50my dad bought this land
49:51to make a house for us
49:53he left before he could build it
49:56that that's awful
49:58not really
50:00this was right before the prophets told him that if he married cassidy he would know nothing but sorrow
50:08he thought about what they said and married her anyway he did what the prophets needed but he did it
50:16his way
50:19those last few months with cassidy and me the best we ever had as a family
50:25prophets were wrong sometimes as much as they taught him he taught them too
50:32by staying true to himself
50:39i don't i don't i don't think i could be cast emissary
50:46i get it
50:50the thing is emissaries are important they build bridges they create stability in a universe that
50:59sometimes feels like all it wants to do is tear itself apart
51:04but they sacrifice so much
51:09everyone makes sacrifices
51:12my father saved billions of people sometimes lose lose is actually win-win
51:20but what what what if i can't do it what if i'm not enough
51:26you are enough
51:30my dad told me that so many times i just wish i listened to him sooner
51:40thanks for writing it down
51:44it's what i was made to do
51:48so if i close this book are you just gonna disappear
51:53i don't know girl i thought you were the one controlling all of this
51:57oh
52:00you know all those things that you think he missed
52:04he didn't
52:06he was always there
52:09he never really left us
52:13i can't prove it but i know it's true
52:31it's true
52:35did you find what you're looking for
52:41yes
52:45good
52:46where did you get this from
52:49i was asked to keep it safe
52:52and only share it with those who would understand how to use it
53:02how did you know that's just go grew tomatoes i couldn't find that in any of the records
53:14are those drill markings
53:19wait a minute isla isn't a surname is it you're a good detective
53:25i expect to see you in my class next year find it in the course catalog under my full name
53:31isla dax
53:34wait you're dax
53:37like the dax as in mentor to cisco dax
53:44well i should have known you do your research
53:49benjamin would have liked you
53:51he loved people who got into trouble for the right reasons
54:06so after all of those experiences after everything i learned about you
54:12i finally realized what i needed to tell my makers
54:16look it's going to take time for me to learn all the stuff you want me to know about organics
54:23their behavior can't be explained or predicted by an algorithm because their purpose is not
54:30understanding it's becoming i have to do that too just like benjamin cisco did in the meantime i don't
54:39know if you can trust them but but i know that i can i'll reach out when there's something to
54:45report
54:46and until then assume all as well if you disobey us you will have failed no it's why i'll succeed
54:54but on my terms and i can live with that series acclimation you may not
55:02my music teacher once asked me why i chose to learn the theremin i think because it feels like me
55:11it has no strings no keys technically speaking i have no body but it creates its own unique kind of
55:20music music that inspires hope love connection that builds bridges and isn't that what an emissary does
55:32i'm not sure if it matters to you that who you were who you became and the mystery of your
55:38fate
55:38changed the life of a girl who wouldn't even know your name 800 years after you vanished but that's what
55:45happened well it's sort of like you family me completely changed me my whole life
55:55and i can never really tell you how much you mean to me but i honor you wherever you are
56:02and i hope
56:03that this message finds you well thank you for sharing your life with this universe thank you for
56:12creating an amazing son for loving him into being his best self everyone should have a dad like you
56:22if you ever want to talk i'm here benjamin
56:33divine laws are simpler than human ones which is why it takes a lifetime to be able to understand them
56:41only love can understand them only love can interpret these words as they were meant to be interpreted
57:15so
57:22so
57:23so
57:23so
